My cp is cool and crazy

The matter was settled quickly, and Thanatos said that Xi Luo was fully responsible for the affairs of the temple, which meant that Xi Luo would have many privileges and conveniences when doing business.

So a few days later, Xi Luo had a lot of gold coins, not a hundred or two hundred, but a full thousand!After the money arrived, he couldn't even wait for half a minute, so he immediately dragged Bai to the customs area.It was a place where prostitutes, thieves, and robbers gathered. When he found that Xi Luo was walking straight in this direction, Bai's poker face finally showed a crack.

"What are you doing there?"

Xi Luo was in a good mood: "Buy an induction cooker, you don't need to chop wood to make a fire if you want to eat whatever you want in the future."

The technology tree of this world is a bit crooked. Steam and electricity have not been applied on a large scale. Most of the poor still use oil lamps for lighting and horse-drawn carts.But at the same time, luxury goods such as induction cookers became popular among the nobles.Although it is called an "electric" induction furnace, this kind of thing is actually driven by magic crystals, and perhaps it is more suitable to be called a "magic crystal" furnace.Relying on a special device, the induction cooker can convert the energy contained in the magic crystal into electrical energy, and further generate a steady stream of heat to cook the food.

The magic crystal is very expensive, so the induction cooker is also very expensive. A portable induction cooker needs at least 150 gold coins-this is the case on the market, but not necessarily on the black market.

Thinking of the bright future, the smile on Xi Luo's face couldn't help deepening: "I have an old acquaintance, he has ready-made goods, I plan to go and have a look."

... It's not like going to the customs area.

Bai almost breathed a sigh of relief, glanced behind him quickly, resisted the urge to light someone's wax, swallowed his words silently, nodded silently, and silently followed Xi Luo into a dilapidated house. small shop.

There are a variety of goods in the store, and a thin old man sits behind the counter, swatting mosquitoes with a fly swatter.Seeing Xi Luo enter the door, his slender eyes immediately flashed a bright light: "Oh, long time no see, Xi Luo."

There was dust floating in the air, and the carpet under my feet hadn't been washed for a few years, and it felt greasy when I stepped on it.Shilo curled his lips in disgust, and then threw two gold coins to the other party: "Long time no see, old Billy, your damn place is still like a doghouse."

Old Billy stuffed the gold coin into his mouth and bit it, then quickly stuffed the money into a drawer under the counter, grinning and showing two rows of yellowed teeth, he said to Shilo: "A few days ago, the Royal Guards will The entire customs district was searched, ha, I already guessed that you would come to the door. But if you want to buy valuable news, boy, your money is not enough."

Xi Luo froze for a moment: "What news, I'm just here to buy an induction cooker."

Old Billy shook his head and said dissatisfiedly, "Tsk tsk, it's only been a while, and you've learned how to beat around the bush with those big shots."

Shilo twitched the corner of his mouth: "I really just want to buy an induction cooker."

"Hmph, little fox, don't I know you yet?" Old Billy replied, "You can bargain, I don't mind. What are you worried about, I will cheat others, but I will definitely not cheat you."

"No, no, no." Xi Luo insisted, "I really just want to buy an induction cooker."

"Hehe." Old Billy glanced blankly: "Okay, I see. Then come in with me. You know, I haven't put anything of real value in the store. Let your entourage Stay outside, I only trust you."

Xi Luo heaved a sigh of relief, then gave Bai a wink to signal him to stay where he was, and followed Old Billy through an inconspicuous wooden door and walked into the alley behind.

It's very quiet here, and the noisy human voice seems to be diluted here.The walls on both sides were almost covered with graffiti and obscenities. A mouse was eating dry bread that had fallen on the ground. Hearing their footsteps, he raised his ears and looked at them vigilantly, hesitating for a while. , quickly turned his head and got into the stinking sewer and disappeared.

After turning and turning, Old Billy kicked away a wooden board under his feet, revealing the dark hole behind him.This was his warehouse, and it was where Old Billy did his business with the really important customers.Shilo has been to this basement more than once. He familiarly walked in along the narrow stairs, squinting his eyes before barely adapting to the dark environment inside.

"You don't seem to trust that servant, so I brought you to this place. Anyway, give the money first." Old Billy lit a candle, turned to Shilo and said, "One hundred gold coins."

Xi Luo stared wide-eyed and protested: "It's so expensive!"

Old Billy laughed sinisterly: "There are benefits to being expensive. If it weren't for Black Hawk's face, I would raise the price even more."

Xi Luo stared straight at him for a while, realizing that the other party didn't mean to compromise at all, so he sighed long and poured out enough gold coins from his pocket: "Forget it, forget it, your reputation is not bad, I trust you once."

Old Billy counted the money over and over several times before putting it away carefully: "Very good. Then pay with one hand and deliver with the other."

After speaking, he stuffed something directly into Xi Luo's hand.

Sure enough, there is a reason why you have to be expensive. This portable induction cooker is so small, it must be a particularly advanced and awesome high-end product.

Xi Luo looked at the things in his hand under the dim candlelight while sighing with emotion. After looking at it for a while, his expression suddenly stopped: "Wait, what is this?"

... Isn't this Nima just a bow-knot-shaped pearl hair accessory? !

"Don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet." Old Billy gave him a blank look: "You also know that there are always people who bring things from unscrupulous channels to me to sell. This hair accessory is only three days old. I got it from a short man some time ago."

So what does this have to do with him?

Xi Luo looked at the other party talking there without knowing why, and his expression was a little dazed.

Old Billy continued: "Look at these pearls, they are full of particles, round in shape, and what's more, they are almost the same size. This is something that only the nobles can afford. I had some doubts at the time, so I kept my eyes open I followed the man all the way, wanting to see where he lived. But he went out of the city and walked straight to the cemetery in the west of the city. In a blink of an eye, he disappeared...I can guarantee that that place Nothing but tombstones."

"So he's a tomb robber? But the noble's cemetery isn't there..." Hearing this, Xi Luo couldn't help but say.

"Yes, this matter is definitely not that simple." Old Billy nodded in agreement: "So I investigated further and found one thing."

Xi Luo frowned: "What's the matter?"

Old Billy showed a meaningful expression: "This hair accessory is most likely the property of Suri Bales."

"Suri Bales..." Xi Luo took a breath, his face changed slightly, and he could hardly speak a word.

This is not the first time he has heard this name. Why is the daughter of the Duke of Barrs and the fiancée of the third prince related to the cemetery in the west of the city?

Is she already dead? !

"As far as I know, this woman disappeared a few days ago. This thing will cause me a lot of trouble." Old Billy chuckled: "Now this hot potato is yours, oh yes, Next time, don't come to me with such a bad excuse as buying an induction cooker. Old rules, don't let people know that this news is spread from me. "

Xi Luo nodded carelessly, thought for a while and then asked: "Do you have any other news about her?"

"No more." Old Billy spread his hands and said, "I don't have the guts to dig deeper, this is your business."

He blinked his eyes with relief: "Now, you can leave here. I think your attendant should be waiting."

Bai has been standing on the spot and waiting obediently, not to mention the position, even the movements have not changed in the slightest compared to before.When he saw Xi Luo floating out in a trance, he took a few steps forward, paused, and asked hesitantly: "Are you okay?"

Xi Luo smiled wryly and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. After saying goodbye to Old Billy, he wiped his face and put on a nonchalant look, and led Bai out of the shop door.

What old Billy said disturbed his mind greatly.Is the disappearance of Suri Bales an accident or a huge conspiracy?What kind of things are hidden behind it?Should he tell Thanatos the information?He needs to think about these issues.

After walking a few steps, Bai suddenly said, "I can kill him for you."

These words pulled Xi Luo out of his contemplation.He looked at Bai in horror: "Why did you kill him?"

Bai seriously suggested: "After you talked with him, something seemed wrong. Although I don't know what he said, but if you need to kill someone..."

brothers,

you,

Why are you so cruel...

Xi Luo was a little speechless: "I didn't talk to him, I just bought something."

Bai asked sharply, "But where is the induction cooker?"

Shiloh: ...

Hey, what about the induction cooker?He brought a lot of money and ran out all the way, only to hear a lot of bad things, and he didn't even buy half of the induction cooker! !

Why, this is why!Where did it go wrong?Is it a curse that you can't buy an induction cooker if you have money? !

His steamed pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed fish, boiled chicken, spicy crayfish! ! ! !

A foodie heart suddenly shattered into petals, Xi Luo couldn't help but bowed forward in frustration: "Since you still remember, why didn't you remind me ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .

Seeing his performance, Bai couldn't help being puzzled: "I thought the induction cooker was just a cover."

Xi Luo burst into tears: "Who said that, that is my lifelong dream."

"is it?"

At this time, a shadow enveloped him from top to bottom.A premonition of uneasiness rose up, Shilo trembled a little, then slowly raised his head, and found Thanatos standing there, looking down at him from a height.
