Civilization Guardian Front

Generally, more formal restaurants open after [-]:[-] in the morning, and in this resort-like French town, it may be later.

Walking about 200 meters to the town, a seafood restaurant named Marie Antoinette happened to be open for business, and the two walked in.

Perhaps because it is currently an off-season for tourism, in order to save costs, there is only one middle-aged man who looks like the owner in the store, wiping wine glasses behind the bar.

"Welcome to Marie Antoinette, you two..." The boss, who spotted the guest from the corner of his eye, looked at Chios and Tifa with a casual and friendly smile.

Seeing the outstanding appearance and gorgeous clothes of the two, the boss couldn't help but pause for a while, but he quickly recovered and his eyes became more friendly.

"God must have taken special care of me today to guide such a beautiful and handsome couple to my shop in Pierre... You can sit anywhere you want, and I will send you two menus right away."

Sitting outdoors is not suitable for the thin sunlight and cold winter. In addition, Chios originally wanted to inquire about the news, so he chose the window seat closest to the bar.

After gently pulling away the chair and inviting Tifa to sit down, the young man continued to sit opposite her.

After taking over the thin two-page menu from the boss Pierre, he is familiar with Tifa, who is very particular about Chios' diet. After a brief glance, he simply handed over the responsibility of ordering to his companion.

Sure enough, the other party quickly made a choice... a Marie Antoinette seafood platter for two, plus a 1996 Pol Roger Blanc de Blancs champagne as a match.

不到10分钟时间，装有1尾蓝龙虾、16支深海胭脂虾、2支牡丹虾、16颗生蚝、4支海螯虾的拼盘已然端上桌，白中白香槟开瓶给奇欧斯试饮，确认没问题后老板笑容满面的回到吧台后方。

Squeeze some lime juice, then tilt the oyster shell so that the oyster slides directly into your mouth with its natural sauce.

The slightly sour and fruity aroma of lime is well combined with the freshness and sweetness of oysters. Even Chios, who has a more picky taste, nodded his head slightly to express his approval.

The young man who put down the oyster shell elegantly wiped his hands, picked up the slender champagne glass, looked at the owner, and asked in a casual voice:

"Miss Pierre, mind if I ask a little bit about the town?"

Facing the youth's question, the boss froze for a moment, then shook his head as a matter of course.

"Of course you don't mind, my honored guest, what would you like to know?"

With both hands resting on the bar table, he couldn't help but be a little curious. This guest in front of him, who seemed to be from a rich businessman and celebrity family, would be interested in what things in this town would be.

"My fiancée and I came here for another important reason besides tasting delicious seafood and wine..."

After drinking half a glass of light golden wine at a time, Chios said with a gentle smile:

"Arsen Robin... I heard that the descendants of this very famous strange thief live in Etretat. I always hope to have the opportunity to visit this legendary family once, Mr. Pierre, I don't know who has lived here for many years Do you know anything about the Robin family?"

Hearing this, the boss showed a clear expression on his face, but rubbed his forehead in some trouble.

"The Luo Ping family who live on the cliff of Awale..." The middle-aged man folded his hands on his chest, closed his eyes and sorted out the information in his mind, and then replied to the guest in front of him:

"You two may be disappointed, the owner of Luo Ping's family... Luo Ping III and his wife passed away not long ago, and the only heir is their eight-year-old only daughter. Later, some bad things happened. I want to visit Luo Ping It must be a bit difficult for Apple."

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen..." There was a trace of compassion on the handsome face, and Chios made a cross on his chest, expressing his condolences in a devout tone:

"May the merciful Father accept them to Heaven and give this poor girl a blessing."

Infected by the emotions of the youth, Pierre, who is a Catholic, also lowered his head and made the sign of the cross.

The same is true for Tifa sitting across from Chios.

Then, she continued the previous topic and asked in depth:

"Mr. Pierre, what did you mean when you said 'something bad happened'? "

The middle-aged man who just raised his face couldn't help sighing again when he heard the girl's question.

"Sigh, Robin III's husband and wife passed away too suddenly. There was no trust fund established or appointed to manage assets, and no relatives could act as guardians for their daughter. You two may wish to think about it, can an eight-year-old child manage the assets at home? "

Chios, who was peeling off the lobster meat with a knife and fork, responded while busy with his hands:

"Age is a person with limited behavioral capacity. It is okay to buy some cakes and milk with pocket money, but it is impossible to use a large amount of money."

"Yeah, so it's impossible for that girl to pay the servant's salary..." The words paused here, and the boss's kind face showed a trace of anger, and he grabbed the bar with his fingers slightly hard.

"It's fine for the servants to resign and leave one by one. The problem is... many people even stole jewelry, famous paintings, and antiques from Luo Ping's house before they left. I feel ashamed for their actions. They don't deserve to be French at all. !"

Pierre, who was emotionally fluctuating, soon realized that he was chatting with a guest.He took a deep breath to calm down his anger, and then went on:

"Now, there is only the only daughter of Robin III living in that mansion, and the girl stays behind closed doors all day, and it is almost becoming a haunted house."

Chapter 190 Two? So, here we come

"French celebrities like Arsene Robin, the offspring should be concerned by the government..."

Through Pierre's narration, Tifa, who knew Riko's current difficult situation, frowned slightly, and asked incomprehensibly:

"Nowadays the young heir has no guardian, and the servants stole the jewelry from the house. The relevant departments have not intervened. Why?"

It was not the shopkeeper who answered her, but Chios who was sitting across from the girl:

"Luo Ping III has just passed away, and the government probably didn't expect that Luo Ping's servants would leave so quickly, and there are more than one or two people who stole treasures. These people are scattered all over with valuables, and they may have left France long ago The boss once said before that the heir of Luo Ping's family locked herself at home. I guess she didn't file a police report at all. The police who noticed the theft into the market a little later, even if they wanted to, they couldn't deal with it quickly..."

"As for the issue of guardians, the Phantom Thieves family lacks relatives. It is estimated that it will be difficult to find a guardian with a blood relationship in a short period of time. This girl's status is very high, which makes it difficult to find a suitable foster family, and it is impossible to find a suitable foster family. The only daughter of the Ping family is sent to an orphanage, and France will become an international laughing stock if that is done."

After finishing his deduction in a calm voice, the young man delivered more than half of the lobster meat to Tifa's dinner plate, then turned his face to the restaurant owner and said:

"I don't know if I'm right, M. Pierre?"

The middle-aged man behind the bar opened his mouth and was speechless for a while.

After a while, the surprise on his face turned into a helpless wry smile, and he nodded and replied:

"Indeed, you've hit the mark, sir..."

Just as he was about to continue talking, he saw the young man raised his glass to gesture to Pierre, and pointed to the champagne in the ice bucket with his left hand.

"I keep asking you to answer, I am worried that you are thirsty, why don't you drink some wine and continue talking?"

"Hahaha! No problem!"

Pierre, who readily agreed with a smile, turned around and took a champagne glass and put it on the bar.

Chios got up and picked up the wine bottle in the ice bucket, wiped the water stains on the bottle with a white towel that covered the bucket to prevent the cold air from escaping, and then elegantly poured half a glass of champagne for the other party.

"As a Frenchman, it would be damning to refuse wine, thank you for your generosity, and I'll take it easy, Santé."

The boss toasted the young man, and Chios and Tifa, who had returned to their seats, also picked up their glasses.

""Santé. ""

Champagne, which adopts in-bottle fermentation technology, has a more elegant and delicate bubble texture than sparkling wine fermented in ordinary steel barrels. As soon as you drink it, it blooms in the mouth in a balanced and harmonious way, accompanied by autumn apple, honey, and light floral aromas.

Closing his eyes and enjoying the aftertaste of the wine in his mouth for a while, Pierre couldn't help but let out an admiration:

"O merciful Father, praise France! Give us such wine..."

After a while, he put down his glass and continued to tell the two guests about the situation of Luo Ping's house:

"As my husband said before, whether it's theft or the problem of the foster family, the government will not be able to deal with it in a short time. The inheritance left by the parents, because the various assets of Luo Ping's family are all over the world, the heir needs to be led by the guardian. It takes two minutes to complete the formalities, the girl is too young to handle these things by herself..."

"Have money but can't use it. This is the current dilemma faced by the fourth generation of Luo Ping's family. Those of us in the town also understand that the girl's life is not easy. Every week, I will send some daily necessities to the Avalle Cliff, hoping I can help her a little...but the biggest problem right now is..."

Pierre sighed when he said this.

Both Chios and Tifa knew what he was referring to...

"Won't the girl come out of the house?"

Facing the black-haired girl's question, the boss nodded solemnly.

"The sudden death of his parents, coupled with the betrayal of the servant who stole the family's belongings, may be like a real nightmare for an eight-year-old child. It is difficult to cheer up in a short time."

Listening to the boss's words, Chios, who was holding a glass of wine, looked out the window silently, lost in thought.

...

Above the Cliffs of Aval...

A mansion covering an area of ​​[-] square meters stands next to the road leading to the sea erosion gate on the top of the cliff, and a low wall is erected around it to symbolize the scope of private land.

The flowers, plants and shrubs in the courtyard inside the wall are not maintained by the gardeners, making the supposedly beautiful courtyard rough. Although the granite fountain in the center is still gushing out artificial fountains, the fallen leaves and sludge in the pool have not been removed, making it look filthy. The stone benches beside the aisles on both sides are also too dirty to sit on.

The once grand and beautiful house, with every door and window tightly closed and thick curtains drawn, combined with the view of the dilapidated courtyard, is like a haunted villa.

Even though it was not yet dark, there was a gloomy and desolate atmosphere.

"Riko lives alone in this kind of place..."

Looking at the desolate scene of Luo Ping's house in front of her, Tifa murmured sadly.

Although I already knew about Lizi's childhood situation in advance, and even clearly understood that the greatest suffering of Feng Lizi has yet to come...

Compared with the situation where Vlad was imprisoned in iron in the future, eating carrion and drinking muddy water, and only having a rag as clothing, the current situation is nothing worth mentioning.

However, knowing from the side of the data is not the same as feeling the desolation in person.Only by standing on this land in person and feeling the breath of dilapidation blowing in front of you, can you deeply understand the powerlessness of a person facing the ruthless wheel of fate.

(it's all...)

The girl involuntarily clenched her hands in black leather gloves.

"The established plot and fate..." The young man behind Tifa stepped forward, staring forward with deep and narrow purple eyes.

"Destroy the originally happy and happy life, torture the body, torture the will, and finally give redemption, so as to create a story that can sing and cry."

"Is our tragedy just a decoration to embellish the story..."

The girl who has always been gentle and generous, rarely has a trace of sullenness in her words.

"So, aren't we here?"

The young man's gentle voice came to Tifa's ears like a gust of wind, blowing away the anger in her heart.

"Whether it's Riko's fate or more difficult and dangerous tasks in the future, we will definitely try our best to overcome the barriers and break the final reincarnation of despair..."

Saying that, Chios held out his hand to the girl.

"Isn't that what you're an enforcer for?"

Turning around, the girl's gaze gradually stretched back from the slender hand in front of her...

His slender body is as straight as a gun, his middle-length black hair is gently swaying with the sea breeze, and there is always a faint smile on his handsome face, so light that it is almost an illusion, the introverted light in his purple eyes seems to be unsheathed The sharp sword is always ready to cut through the obstacles ahead.

Just looking at his figure makes me feel at ease...

The girl put her hand on the palm extended by the young man, and then...

She tilted her pretty face slightly and leaned lightly on the other's shoulder.

"Ok. "

Chapter 190 Three? An Uninvited Guest

Approaching the main entrance of Robin's Mansion, Chios rang the doorbell beside him.

After waiting for a while, the young man heard light footsteps coming from the house, and he came slowly to the door without rushing.

"It's good to leave things at the door, thank you everyone in the town for your concern."

With a childish and polite voice, he said this passage skillfully as if he had said it thousands of times, and there was no more words after that.

Facing the obviously polite words of the owner of the house, the young man was not at all frustrated. He stretched out his hand to grasp the void, and a rattan basket fell into his hand.

"Hello, I'm Chios Pesheim, a tourist from out of town. I came to Treetta for a visit because I admire the reputation of Robin's family..."

Through the heavy cherry wood door, after a brief introduction of his identity, the young man raised the basket to the door and shook it slightly, and sent an invitation to the back of the door with a gentle voice:

"By taking the liberty of visiting, I have brought food and wine, would you like to have lunch with me?"

The girl in the room did not show any sign of joy after hearing his words.

"You already know about Luo Ping's family, right?"

The polite and well-behaved voice before suddenly disappeared without a trace, and although the question was used, the cold voice that had already confirmed the answer came out through the door:

"You came here with lunch because you knew about Riko's misfortune, right?"

However, not only was Chios not surprised when he heard the girl's indifferent voice, but a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

If Riko really doesn't care about the concerns of outsiders, just reply with "I'm sorry, it's not convenient today, please come back", which will directly cut off the possibility of the guests outside the door continuing the topic, and will never respond with questions .

Although the girl's response shows her keen observation and intelligent side, it also reveals her name and immature side, and even reveals her sensitive and fragile psychology hidden in the cold words.

Such an answer just shows the loneliness of the girl...

A desire for more care from others, but a fear of getting hurt again.

Chios didn't even need to guess about this flaw, he knew it was a gap deliberately left for Vlad to take advantage of the interference of the will of the world.

"That's right, I was hit by you..." He didn't deny it, but affirmed the other party's conjecture. The young man deliberately slowed down his speech, and continued in a gentle and caring tone:
