Chapter 192 The Water Fairy Who Keeps Lying

Donna watched the dark blood spread in the water, her eyebrows twisted together in confusion.

Beside her, Julius spat in the water. He felt that he had been tricked and was about to exchange sympathy with his employer, but when he turned around, he found that there was no trace of surprise on Clayton's face.

"Did you know this would happen?" he asked angrily.

"I have guessed such an ending. But..." Clayton looked back at the wizard: "I thought you should have expected it too. I saw you looking thoughtful several times."

Julius felt quite annoyed when he mentioned this matter.

"I always thought that it was done by other bounty hunters commissioned by Professor Christopher. After all, he bid so much money, it was not difficult to find a few eager spellcasters. After attracting local people to help hunt down the 'beast', he Just wait for the local hunters to succeed before plundering. This guess is so reasonable that I ignore the possibility of personal vendetta.”

The acoustic conch that recorded the howling of wolves almost disturbed the atmosphere of the entire town. He never thought that such a big movement was just to leave one person behind.

The obsession of the banshee is truly terrifying.

He sighed and asked Clayton curiously: "When did you find out?"

"It started with this little girl saying that the best friend she was looking for was a man."

"Then you are really experienced."

Clayton disagreed: "It's just out of common sense."

"What common sense?" Donna asked him confused.

Clayton hesitated: "It may not be common sense to you."

This poor girl not only had no friends of the opposite sex, but also no sexual friends. He really didn't know how to explain this to her.

The river rippled again, and Adelaide emerged from the water. Her face was a little more lively than before.

"It's time to give us our due," Clayton shouted toward the water.

The Water Fairy has now absorbed at least two living sacrifices, but her power is not enough to make the werewolves afraid. As long as they insist on not entering the water, Adelaide's ability is not enough to interfere with them.

But Adelaide has a weakness in his hands. As long as she still cares about her father, the werewolf can use this news to threaten her.

Fortunately, this girl is quite sensible.

Adelaide stretched out a hand: "Of course, I have not forgotten this. Now please throw down that necklace."

"Just drop it?" Clayton confirmed again.

"Yes."

The ivory necklace was thrown down decisively, and Adelaide failed to catch it directly. However, the ivory material did not sink to the bottom in the water, but floated slightly, as if it had magnetic force and floated against the current toward Adelaide. Virtue.

She raised her palm and took a bite, then grabbed the necklace with her bloody palm.

As the portrait on the necklace came into contact with the water nymph's blood, Clayton's body couldn't help but begin to tremble, and he felt something begin to grow again in his empty body.

His vanishing fortune is returning.

Feeling this, his mood suddenly calmed down.

The main purpose of coming to the town of Jevo was over, and he was finally free to do other things.

"We're even," said the Water Banshee, her head gradually sinking into the water.

"etc!"

Clayton held back the feeling of discomfort and called her,

Adelaide resurfaced and looked at him in confusion: "I should have fulfilled your request."

Clayton looked at him seriously: "We haven't evened out yet. I helped you at least twice. I remember you just mentioned monsters. Were you attacked by a leatherworker? I need to know the details. It's best to send you Tell me everything you know, the same thing about Sevan.”

"Sorry, I don't know who the leatherworker you're talking about was. We were attacked late at night and couldn't clearly see the appearance of the monster."

At the time of the attack, Adelaide was still just a human being, and there were still things he could not do.

However, Clayton still had doubts about this: "No, you must be hiding something else from me. I suggest you make it clear so that we don't have any misunderstandings later. After all, Gevo is a subordinate town of Sasha City. There is such a big commotion in the town. Your priest will definitely report it to the city when he comes back. At that time, church members will come to conduct a second investigation. By then, you and your father may no longer be able to stay out of the matter. "

Until now, he was not sure how many monsters there were in Gevo that could be active during the day.

All the behaviors of the leatherworker made him feel abnormal. After all, it was a monster transformed from a human being, not another creature with low intelligence. Even if it could play tricks, Clayton would not be surprised. And the subject mentioned by Professor Christopher The beast attracted by doom has not yet appeared, and the situation is actually more complicated than it seems.

"So, you can help me." Adelaide cleverly grasped the key points from the threat.

Clayton was pleased with her reaction, if she had reacted any slower, he would have had to be a villain in front of Donna.

"To be precise, it is the Sasha City Council of Elders who can help you."

He signaled Julius to take action, and the latter immediately perked up and gave her endless instructions.

He briefly described the status of the Presbyterian Council of Sasha City, and in particular reiterated the treatment and security of its members.

Although the wizard is dissatisfied with Adelaide, his father is advocating for the river to be dredged again. At this moment, the addition of a water nymph is undoubtedly a very beneficial help.

Adelaide is a water fairy. The moment she regained this identity, she was blessed by fate. As long as she was willing to migrate to the dock area of ​​Sasha City, the planned construction would be completed more smoothly.

For this invitation, the new water fairy did not refuse, but hesitated a little when she mentioned her own affairs.

"Well, then. Just treat it as a gift."

She told Clayton her story.

Adelaide did not lie about Danny's identity at first. He was indeed her friend - once.

In fact, Sevan, Adelaide, and Danny all grew up together. At a certain time, they were like brothers and sisters until they were young. As Clayton understood, their feelings changed, and the two young people became Adelaide's admirers at the same time.

Adelaide also had a good impression of Sevan, so the two became lovers.

In order to avoid Danny getting hurt, Adelaide rejected his pursuit and decided to hide their relationship with Sevan from the public.

Sevan did not refuse, because his adoptive father Louis wanted him to inherit his mantle and become a lifelong abstinent black monk. Publicizing their love affair would not only damage his friendship with Danny, but also make his adoptive father unhappy.

They originally planned to pick a good season to go to the city together to find a job, so that they could avoid people who knew them and no longer have to hide their love.

However, this year, Adelaide's eyes suddenly changed, and the pores on her skin began to disappear.

Everyone noticed this change, but their suspicion stopped at thinking that she used the mydriasis potion circulating on the market, or was sick, but this change did not affect her daily activities, so most people turned a blind eye to this change.

However, Father Louis noticed something strange and ordered Sevan not to approach her again.

This attitude instead became an opportunity for the three of them to notice her own changes. Together, they checked the genealogy of Adelaide Lax and the ancient records left by the town's parish, and finally determined the identity of Adelaide's ancestors.

During the Great Stink Incident, her ancestors migrated here and combined with the locals to establish the Lax family.

But then the ancestors of the Lax family moved west again. Her descendants were difficult to awaken as water fairies because of their impure bloodline, which eventually led them to regard their ancestors' experiences as exaggerated stories. The personnel changes in the local church also gradually made this matter a secret.

It was not until this year that the secret was dug out by three people from the cracks of history.

Because Adelaide did not undergo further changes, they unanimously decided to keep it secret and let her live an ordinary life.

But in September, a fast horse came from Sasha City.

The Great Church began to ask the subordinate parishes to conduct investigations on the dark descendants. Sevan learned the news, so he took advantage of his opportunity to help in the church to destroy the records of the Lax family in the document room, and made an appointment with Adelaide to leave Gevaux at the end of the year.

In October, people from the church and soldiers from the military came to Gevaux. This action came faster than they thought.

The clergy from the city blocked the roads and locked up the ships. Those "patients" with obvious alienation were recognized at a glance and were lured by the clergy to get on their carriages. I don't know what the consequences will be.

Adelaide was almost recognized, but Father Louis stood up to vouch for her, so she was spared.

But this was a deal, the price was that Sevan had to become a black monk, and Adelaide had to leave Gevaux.

Sevan accepted the arrangement.

They had their last date by the river at night.

Unfortunately, Danny was walking in the woods at the time and accidentally ran into them, and also discovered the love between them that had been hidden from him for a long time. He was immediately furious and quarreled with them for this distrust.

Then a monster rushed out of the woods and caught Adelaide and Sevan together.

"Wait a minute."

Clayton interrupted her love story again, his face was strange: "I remember you said that Danny killed you."

The water nymph nodded slightly at him, and her dark green hair like algae rippled in the water with her movements.

"That's for later. Please listen to me now."

"Ms. Lux!"

Clayton suddenly raised his voice: "I thought we had reached a consensus just now. If you continue to omit important content, our cooperation will have to end."

Donna secretly looked at his face from the side. It was the first time she saw her uncle's aggressive look.

Adelaide Lux was silent for a moment to Clayton:

"What do you want to know?"

"I suggest you explain what this necklace is about first?" Clayton pointed to her hand that was still holding the necklace. "I think if you really had never seen this necklace, your fingers would not hold it so tightly."

"Now, please tell us the story again."
