"Um, how is that guy doing now?" When she came to the hall and watched the man pick up a teapot and pour black tea, Lucia couldn't help but ask.
"That guy? Oh, you mean Ahs Gardner, right."
"You, how did you..." Upon hearing this name, Lucia suddenly became alert.
"It's not that I knew his name in advance, but his face has now changed into the original appearance of Ahes. It seems that because he was seriously injured, the effect of the contract has also become invalid." The man didn't.
He said calmly, "But judging from your appearance, you already knew that he was the wanted criminal in Ahes, didn't you?"
"Haha, why, can't we two be traveling together?"
"You can tell from your accent that you are not from Helworth. You are probably from Percival, and Ahs is an out-and-out native of Helworth. You two are on the road no matter what."
I met a fellow traveler, and by then he might have been disguised as another person, right?"
"..."
"No need to be nervous, I'm not interested in his bounty."
"That bounty? That's a full 10 million kirks. Do you want me to believe that you are not interested in him?" Lucia said in disbelief.
"If you are interested, I will not treat him. Instead, I will take out his heart immediately and kill you without your knowledge, right?"
"Maybe you don't have the strength, and you are waiting for help."
"Hahaha, what a pity, I don't know anyone who can help me." He turned around with a smile and said, "And, do you think I don't have the strength to kill you two? If so, why should I?
Go to the city of Tandawa to deal with that witch. Do you want to say that even Ahes in a coma plus you are far more powerful than that witch?"
This time Lucia said nothing.
"What's your name?" the man asked instead.
"Lucia, Lucia Walsh."
"My name is Glinton Freeman Lucia, and I am over eighty years old." He said, "So, it is impossible for me to find someone I know well to deal with you."
"More than eighty years old? You only look like you are in your twenties. There should be a limit to your deception."
"There are many contracts that can maintain your appearance, Lucia. This is not surprising." Glinton shook his head and said, "Where is the final destination of you two?"
"I can't say that. I told you that I still don't trust you, even though you may have cured Ahes's injury."
"In that case, let me make a guess." Glinton sat on the chair and leaned back slightly and said, "It must be the Kingdom of Twilight."
"How did you..."
"That's the only place where I can completely avoid Helworth's pursuit and not be targeted by other bounty hunters or killers. I'm right, right," Glinton said.
...........
"Before his injury recovers, you can stay here as long as you want, as long as you don't go in to explore any hidden places like you did just now. Believe me, that's not a good habit."
, Glinton took the cup with black tea, got up and went to the room where Ahes was treated.
"Who is this guy?" Lucia said, looking at the black tea in the teapot.
After taking a sip and tasting it, Lucia didn't feel anything was wrong. It probably wasn't poisonous. Rather, even if it was poisonous, it wouldn't be effective on her. If it was a colorless and odorless poison, she wouldn't be able to feel it.
"He said not to go to places that look very secretive, so why don't I just go to places that are open and honest?"
I opened a door casually, and inside was a library. It was very large, but certainly not as good as the library in Tandawa. If Ahs saw it, he would definitely come in and browse around.
But soon, Lucia discovered that the books above were not useful books, but novels, and they were all romance novels.
"Does that guy actually like to read this kind of thing?" Lucia was a little surprised. Glinton looked so mysterious and serious that Lucia couldn't associate him with romance novels at all.
However, I have never heard of these romance novels. I am also a writer after all. Even if I have not read some novels on the market, I should have heard of them, but I have never heard of these novels.
"You really can find good places, Miss Lucia." Glinton suddenly appeared behind Lucia and said.
"You said you can't go to a secret place, so this can't be considered a secret place." Lucia turned around and said.
"Of course, feel free to read it, as long as you don't damage it." As he said that, Glinton took out a notebook and a pen from the bookshelf.
"Aren't you treating Ahes? What are you doing with the pen and notebook?" Lucia asked.
"This is the payment for treatment. I don't want money. I have to get something else."
"Huh?" Lucia didn't understand what she heard, and Glinton didn't answer. He turned around and left the library.

"Ugh!" Carlos opened his eyes suddenly and sat on the chair sweating profusely, breathing heavily.
"Did I succeed?" As he spoke, Carlos stretched out his hand, and a dark green contract book with [Book of the Dead] appeared in his hand.
"It's really, really successful."
"Mr. Carlos!" At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then two people walked in with a young man on their backs.
"Let me go!" he struggled.
"What's going on?" Carlos asked upon seeing this.
"This kid wants to burn down our building while it's dark, so we can catch him." The man said, "What should we do with him?"
"Haha, just in time." Carlos thought, and then looked at them, "Leave him here, you can go out."
"Eh, okay." The two men glanced at the young man, left him behind, closed the door and left Carlos' office.
"You bastard, you are leading Ypres to destruction!" the young man shouted at Carlos.
"I'm sorry, I didn't keep you here because I wanted to discuss Yipur's future and my thoughts with you." Carlos smiled, picked up the pistol, walked up to the young man, and shot the young man directly.
After he died, Carlos stretched out his hand, and a ray of green soul entered Carlos's palm.
"Haha, hahahahaha!" Carlos suddenly laughed, "It seems that I am the protagonist of this world. The future battle will not be Yip's victory, but my Carlos Simpson's victory. With the undead
