Otherworldly Gem Merchant

No matter how Victor explains it, Moore won’t believe it if he doesn’t believe it. In short, if Victor can’t produce evidence, Moore will rely on Victor.

At least that's what Yan Xiu saw.

"What do you want?" Yan Xiu interrupted Victor, staring directly at Moore's dark green eyes with his dark eyes.For the sake of entanglement, it is the fastest way to directly ask Moore what he wants to do.

"Hughes, Lauder is our partner, what do you think I want to do?" The black mage's robe fit Moore very well, and the morning sun shone on Moore, casting a large shadow on the ground .

"Laud's disappearance has nothing to do with us." Yan Xiu stood up, facing Moore.

"It's really troublesome. Lauder is an important member of our search for Dilong." Yan Xiu looked at Moore with lowered eyes and suddenly had a bad feeling, "In this case, why don't you come with us, Hughes?"

"No!" Victor would never agree to this alone.

Yan Xiu also frowned, not understanding what Moore meant.Just when he was about to say something, Yan Xiu felt the hairs on his back stand on end.There was only Dewey behind him, and when Yan Xiu turned around, he saw Dewey standing upright with no expression on his face, but the atmosphere around him was a bit scary.The dark purple eyes were firmly nailed to Moore's body.

"Before you find the real culprit, Hughes will follow me." Moore suddenly smiled and walked to Yan Xiu's side, "If you find the real culprit, I will return Hughes to you."

Yan Xiu grabbed Dewey who had already pulled out the dagger, "Calm down."

"Oh, it's scary." Seeing Dewey holding the dagger, Moore said he was afraid, but there was no timidity on his expression.

"It's impossible." Victor couldn't possibly agree to this exchange condition, let alone Lauder's disappearance had nothing to do with them.

The curvature of the corner of Moore's mouth became more and more obvious, "I really want to know why you kept Hughes? If you are not the real culprit, prove it to me. At least I will not hurt Hughes until you find the real culprit."

Yan Xiu's cold face has never changed. Regarding the situation he is facing at this moment, he wants to know what Moore wants to do.Judging from Moore's performance, it doesn't seem like he has to ask for an explanation for Lauder's disappearance, but it looks more like he found something interesting. "There are no clues, how can we find the real culprit?"

"So, Hughes followed me voluntarily?" Moore was taken aback when he heard Yan Xiu's words, but soon became happy.

"Hughes?" Victor looked at Yan Xiu and sighed weakly.For the first time, he felt that he was really useless. When Hughes was insulted by the orc, it was Dewey who drove the orc away. Now that Hughes was being targeted by Moore, he couldn't do anything about it.Hughes gave himself so much help, but he couldn't help Hughes.

Victor looked at Moore seriously, and even Moore was taken aback by Victor's seriousness, "Laud's disappearance has nothing to do with us, we can't find the real culprit, no matter how we explain it, you won't believe it Right? I can swear to the God of Light that I will never run away to evade responsibility until the truth of Lauder's disappearance is investigated. However, I will not and cannot keep Hughes by your side."

Victor who said these words not only impressed Moore, but even Yan Xiu was a little surprised.For the first time, this blond-haired dragon knight standing in the sun made Yan Xiu face up to it completely.

"Well, since you've said that, I can't be too unreasonable." Moore smiled at Victor, who frowned, "Then, from today onwards, I will act together with you .”

"..."

——Don’t make up your own mind, Ri.

"Cough, but we don't have any clues about Lauder." Victor coughed to break the awkward atmosphere of the silence.

"Carnegie definitely doesn't know either." Moore turned his head to look at Bara who had been standing on the side dumbly. "Hey, big man, did you see Lauder leave?"

"No." Bara stood there blankly.

"Then did your baby elf see it?" Moore narrowed his eyes and looked at the elf sitting on Bala's shoulder.

"Wow, Lucy didn't know! Lucy didn't see it! Woohoo, he's so scary, Bara!" Lucy seemed to be particularly afraid of Moore, and burst into Bara's pocket in tears.Bara finally stopped being in a daze, and carefully protected the pocket that Lucy got into.

……

What the hell did Moore do to Lucy?

Yan Xiu couldn't help but looked at Moore with a strange look, and looked away thoughtfully after seeing Moore's pointed ears.Moore, what race?

"Then there is no other way, it seems that I can only rely on me." Moore stood proudly aside, his body similar to that of Yan Xiu was wrapped in a black robe, which was quite loose.

The shadow of the giant tree fell on the ground, Moore stood in the huge shadow, and a black magic circle centered on Moore appeared on the dry ground.There are densely packed characters on the huge black magic circle, and different graphics are combined to form a complex and huge formation.The words and graphics on the magic circle are still slowly rotating according to a certain rule, like several gears meshing tightly together.

Yan Xiu observed the magic circle meticulously, but he couldn't understand the words on it.

soul?catch up?

What are these things?

Yan Xiu, who was focused on observing the magic circle, didn't see Victor's mutated expression after seeing Moore using magic.Yan Xiu concentrated on studying the words on the magic circle, trying to understand some of them.

"_____, ______." Moore murmured something.The black magic circle under his feet turned faster and faster, and a strand of black smoke drifted out from the magic circle, drifting towards a fixed direction, as if to guide the way.Moore nodded in satisfaction when he saw this scene, "No matter how you look at it, I'm better. Hey, Hughes, are you reading the words on the magic circle?"

"En." After Moore cast the magic, the magic circle began to disappear, and Yan Xiu no longer focused on the magic circle.

"Understand?" The dark green eyes did not stare at Yan Xiu closely, but they also carefully watched Yan Xiu's reaction.

"can't read."

Moore: "..."

"Moore, you are..." Victor stood aside, not only looking serious but also seemed very vigilant.

"Huh, it seems that his identity has been known?" Moore also understood Victor's reaction very well. Compared with Victor, his wrist was slender and held a dark green wand that was not very conspicuous. The dark green wand was engraved with With elaborate inscriptions. "You are really amazing, you can actually recognize this magic."

"Hughes, don't get close to this guy." Victor said in a deep voice.

Yan Xiu didn't speak, but just took a symbolic step to the side.

"Hahahahahaha." Seeing Yan Xiu's actions, Moore couldn't help laughing, holding a dark green wand and laughing wildly on the spot.

"Hughes! He's dangerous, stay away!" Compared to Moore who couldn't stop laughing, Victor wasn't in such a good mood.He has been guessing what race Moore should be, but he didn't expect... "Are you a spirit devourer, Moore?"

"Yeah." Moore looked at Victor with a smile. Even though he was smiling, it seemed dangerous. "Why, do you want to destroy me like the Illuminati?"

Devouring Spirits: Similar to humans in appearance, but feed on souls.Good at searching for souls, tracking souls and identifying souls.Get used to using dark spells.

"Illuminati?" Yan Xiu has always known that there is such a thing as the Illuminati Church in Fangsi Continent, but this is the first time he has come into such close contact with this elf who seems to be wiped out by the Illuminati?

"Don't Hughes know? The spirit-eating elves are a branch of elves that feed on souls. According to the teachings of the Church of Light, those who eat souls are demons and need to be eliminated." Moore said casually, but the tone revealed Ruthless made Yan Xiu look sideways.

"Oh." Yan Xiu replied, and then there was nothing else.

"Is this your reaction?" Moore was also a little strange.

"otherwise?"

"You are my food too~"

"Oh." Of course Yan Xiu knew that he would be Moore's food, but how to put it, it seemed that such a thing as fear really did not exist, "Do you want to eat?"

"Tch, Hughes is really boring." Moore curled his lips unhappily.

It's not that Yan Xiu didn't hear Moore's complaint, but so what.As early as the 21st century, Yan Xiu was annoyed by those who abused animals.This is not to say that Yan Xiu is a vegetarian, but that the slaughter and abuse made Yan Xiu feel more disgusted by the latter.Just like humans eat animals in order to survive, it is not surprising that there is a kind of food that is human beings.It was the abuse, not the killing, that sickened him.

It's just that he was born in a wealthy Yan family, this kind of thinking will only make some people think he is hypocritical.

"Mole!" Victor reached out and grabbed the hilt of the knight's sword, as if he was ready to draw it out and fight Moore to the death at any time.

"Don't be too arrogant." Moore's companion, Carnegie, suddenly stood in front of Moore, and also put his hand on the sword at his waist.

"Stop arguing, go find Lauder." Yan Xiu's concept of race is not that deep, after all, the 21st century is nothing but human beings.To be correct, as long as he looks like a human, he will involuntarily treat each other like a human being. "Victor, stop arguing."

"Hughes." Victor looked in surprise at Yan Xiu, who was standing next to Moore, who looked unstressed.

"What kind of magic did you use just now?" Yan Xiu turned to look at Moore.

"Soul tracking. When Hughes' soul gets lost, you can come to me for help."

Yan Xiu: "Whoever wants your help, get out of here."
