Leopard of another world

When Evan, the holy knight of light, pushed open the door of the office, the deputy head, Claude, happened to be reading a document. The golden sun shone brightly on his face, reflecting his gray eyes with a kind of A light golden psychedelic shade.

"Claude, are you done with your business?"

The deputy head raised his head when he heard the words, his frown slightly loosened, and he shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed smile: "Yes, Evan, everything is perfect, Elizabeth and I are reconciled as before."

"That's really great." Evan stepped forward and took out the document in Claude's hand, browsing casually: "You know, when I learned that your fiancée chased you to the territory of the Gran family, I was shocked. Big jump."

"It's all over, Evan, I'm fine now." Claude leaned back on the large chair indifferently, squinting at Evan: "It's you, you seem to have lost a lot of weight."

"It's not that the signs of dark revival that have been active in various parts of the empire recently make the church look like a cat with its tail burned, and it will jump up with its fur anytime and anywhere." Evan smiled bitterly, then thought of something, and looked at Claude: "Claude , have you heard of the White Rose underground store?"

Claude's eyes froze for a moment, and then he laughed as if nothing had happened: "You mean the white rose store that has become famous in the past six months? Oh, of course I have heard of it, who hasn't, it's from the upper class The latest darling of the ladies and gentlemen, I heard that there are many unheard of rare gadgets coming out of the store, and it is said that those are all bought by the new boss of the White Rose store, he is really a capable guy."

"So do you have a membership card for it? I mean, I want one."

"Oh, Evan, look what I heard?" Claude stood up with his arms open exaggeratedly, with a look of amazement on his face: "The Holy Knight of Light, whose words and deeds can be used as a template for church propaganda, is actually interested in the underground auction. ! You finally feel that the house is too empty, do you want to buy a beautiful little alien to play with?"

"Claude, you know that's not what I mean." Evan frowned, and his tone was a little more serious: "I just heard that the White Rose Store occasionally auctions some small animals with dark attributes. I’m still very curious about where they got them, if they were really caught from the foggy forest near the chaotic gap, it would be too generous.”

"So you suspect that the store is related to the dark signs of recent frequent activities?" Claude shrugged disapprovingly: "Well, although I don't agree with your guess, it's not bad to go to the underground store once in a while. , I don’t have a membership card for the store. It’s said that the store’s strict control over members is scary. You can only go in and have a look after being introduced by old members, and you may not be able to become a full member..."

Seeing Evan's regretful expression, Claude smiled badly: "But...my dear fiancee has one, maybe we can ask her to write a letter of introduction or something."

"Then it's up to you, buddy, I'm going to patrol first, goodbye." Evan patted Claude on the shoulder, and left with a smile. Claude watched Evan's back quietly with gray eyes. After a long time, he took out a communication stone from his pocket, pressed it somewhere, and the stone gradually glowed faintly.

"Hey, it's me, Lord Arnold...it's...everything as usual...the target seems to have noticed the store...yes, right...he wants to find a way to go in and investigate...well, ok...I see... ...Please take me to say hello to His Majesty...goodbye."

Claude closed the communication stone, turned his head and looked out the window.

The sun was too bright, and it seemed that there was nowhere to hide all the shadows.

but--

Claude lowered his head and smiled.

The real darkness can never be seen by human eyes.

------------------------------------------------------------

Ten days later, the gate of White Rose's underground store was opened again, and the low-key but luxurious carriages drove quietly through the gate, entering another world of luxury and luxury.

Evan uncomfortably tugged at the medieval uniform that was sticking to his neck, and looked at Claude who was playing with the big knife at his waist, but couldn't help expressing his doubts: "Claude, do we have to dress like this? ?”

"What's the matter? It's just a little fun created by the store to cater to the tastes of the nobles. Besides, don't you think this pirate outfit is very suitable for me?" With two mustaches, he turned his eyes to look at Evan: "To be honest, Evan, you are still lacking in fun as always. This medieval knight's daily uniform is really boring, although I have to admit that it is damn handsome."

Evan smiled wryly, shaking his head to express that he really couldn't understand the elegant taste of nobles.

The carriage shook and stopped. Claude lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at it for a moment: "Evan, we are here, let's go, remember, wear your mask, the identities of all the guests in the White Rose store are Keep it secret, Elizabeth has already said this rule, and even I dream of this sentence in my head."

Evan put on a gorgeous mask with intricate patterns, revealing only tight lips and a cold and sharp jaw. He looked around the gorgeous and almost extravagant decorations inside the store calmly, and followed the store employees into it.

Pass the introduction letter to the staff at the door, and the two of them are taken to the huge ballroom. Before the auction, the White Rose store will always hold some activities that the nobles love. This feature has always been loved by the ladies and gentlemen. The theme is masquerade.

Claude didn't know where he went as soon as he entered the hall. Evan was standing in the corner of the hall with a glass of white wine alone, observing the people dancing gracefully in the center. The waiters in black uniforms shuttled among the crowd. Can't find a good time to talk to the attendant, and the auction is still a while away, Evan just feels bored, bored.

"Sir, alone?"

A soft voice came from behind the mask, and the tone blocked by the metal was sexy and hoarse. Only then did Evan realize that there was a person standing beside him. Even he, who had seen countless high-ranking nobles and even royal families, had to I admit that the slender man in front of me is very tastefully dressed. The dark black dress inlaid with golden patterns perfectly shows the man's slightly gloomy but mysterious and luxurious temperament. The silver shoulder buttons are made into the shape of two skulls, dark purple His cloak reflected the blurred lights in the hall, and the platinum mask covered the upper half of his face, revealing well-shaped but slightly pale lips and a thin jaw under the mask. This man was like a sculpture wrapped in the night, Low-key and secretive.

Evan didn't answer, he looked up and down the other party with scrutiny, and raised the wine glass in his hand.

After the crisp collision, the man gracefully sipped the red wine in the glass, the dark purple liquid added a touch of coquettishness to his pale lips.

"Your medieval knight attire is very handsome, Your Excellency."

"Thank you for the compliment." Evan chose his words carefully: "Your body... er... is also very good."

The man's chest trembled slightly, and he let out a pleasant laugh: "You think it's pretty good too, right? This devil king's attire is really eye-catching. I must admit that the owner of the White Rose store is a guy with good taste. By the way, you can Call me Twilight, sir, it's my usual code name."

"It's a pleasure to talk to you, Twilight, I'm a star." Evan's mind turned quickly: "You just said that you know the owner of this store? This is really incredible, I mean, the owner of this store has been He has always been famous for his mystery and supernatural powers, and few people have seen him."

"Oh, yes, yes, he is indeed a guy who likes to play tricks." Twilight smiled lightly and shook his head: "Xing Chen, I don't seem to have seen you before, is this the first time?"

"Yes, Twilight, I heard that this store has some items that are hard to find in other stores, so I came to try my luck."

"Oh, another poor guest who was fooled by that guy." Twilight suddenly approached Evan, and the breath in his ear made him hide uncomfortably: "For the sake of getting acquainted, I will tell you quietly , Those small animals with special attributes are actually not worth much, they are all weak little guys caught from the edge of the foggy forest. My friend is a crazy collector."

"Really?"

"Ha, there's no reason for me to lie to you, is there?" Twilight laughed and hugged Evan's shoulders, and the whole person seemed to be attached to him: "How about dancing together, to celebrate our acquaintance, next A song is about to begin."

Evan instinctively wanted to refuse, but Twilight dragged him onto the dance floor in a tough gesture, clasped his palm with slender fingers, and slid to the music.

On the dance floor, there are quite a few couples of men or women dancing together, so Evan and Twilight don't look so eye-catching, but Evan faintly feels that something is wrong, that guy named Twilight is always intentional or unintentional Close to him, but without any disrespectful behavior, it looks like you accidentally approached him while dancing.

During the dance, Twilight did not speak from the beginning to the end. When the song was over and Evan was about to find an excuse to leave with relief, a commotion suddenly broke out not far away.

Amidst the chaotic low screams, a small figure squeezed out from the crowd, ran towards the exit quickly, and ran in front of Evan and Twilight in an instant.

It was a half-human boy with a fluffy tail and ears. His pupils had a faint smell of blood, and his expression was tense at an astonishing speed. After seeing Twilight blocking the direction of the exit, he widened his eyes ferociously. The nails instantly became longer and sharper, and they rushed forward with baring teeth and claws.

"Be careful!" Out of an instinctive reaction, Evan wanted to pull Twilight away, but suddenly a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and another tall man pulled Twilight away and hugged him at a faster speed, raised his feet neatly And fiercely hit the little boy's chest.

The half-human boy flew high, and slammed into the wall with a burst of exclamation. People could even hear the sound of his bones shattering.

The bodyguards of the store arrived late, surrounded the little boy with punches and kicks, and then dragged him out tightly. The person in charge of the store quickly came forward to appease everyone, explaining that this was a bird that would be auctioned in this auction. The cubs of the blood orcs waited for an opportunity to escape because they were not well guarded, and I am very sorry for causing chaos.

The dissatisfaction of the guests turned into excitement and excitement instantly after listening to the person in charge's explanation.

Blood orc cubs!The White Rose store actually got a blood orc cub!That is a powerful creature that hasn't appeared in nearly 200 years!

The music sounded again, and everything returned to order. Evan found that the man who appeared suddenly had been hugging Twilight since just now, and Twilight didn't seem to know this guy, and even lowered his voice and asked, "Who are you?" ", the knight's sense of justice came out again. Although he didn't like dancing, Evan felt that he had an obligation to rescue his new friends who were in trouble.

"Twilight, how about we play another song?" Invited in a calm tone, Evan pretended to be nonchalant and glanced at the tall man: "Sir, can you let go of my companion, the music has already started."

Just as Twilight opened his mouth, the tall man interrupted him suddenly by raising his hand.

"I'll dance with him to the next song."

After finishing speaking, the man half-forced Twilight's shoulders, put his arms around his waist, and slid onto the dance floor.

Moving slowly, Twilight's waist was aching from the opponent's grip. He leaned against the man's hard and generous chest with a stiff expression, and asked in a low voice: "Your Excellency, who are you?"

He saw the resolute lips exposed under the man's mask slightly curled up, but he never answered his question.

Twilight was a little annoyed. He searched the guest list in his mind, but he still couldn't find a name that could be matched with the guy in front of him.

When did such a character lurk in the store?

Just as he was racking his brains, the magic lights of the entire dance hall suddenly went out.

The guests rioted again, but Twilight was not worried, he knew it was just a trick arranged by the store.

He could just take the opportunity to get away from the weird man who had his arms around him.

Just when he was about to skillfully avoid the man's hand on his waist, the man sensed his intention and suddenly tightened his arms, pressing him tightly on his chest in the dark.

The bridge of her nose was so painful from being hit, Twilight blinked to suppress the welling up tears, and raised her head angrily in the darkness.

The warm breath suddenly hit his face, and Twilight instinctively leaned back.

The next moment, the lips were wrapped in something hot and soft.
