Hearing Snow's words, Xio's spine straightened immediately, but unfortunately, although she was short, her legs were not short...
Well, this sentence does not mean that Xiu has long legs, but that...she is still short when she sits down, even if she straightens her back.
Ahem.
Looking at the girl who was trying hard to show her seriousness, Snow's lips slightly raised, and then he said: "I can tell you about the cause of your father's death, but before that, I hope you remember two things.
matter."
"Say." Although Xio was very dissatisfied with Snow's rude look, he still resisted the desire to preach and waited for Snow's next words.
"First, your father's affairs have a mysterious power to be kept secret, so I will only say the part that is not enough to threaten me. Well, this sentence itself is also information. You should be able to understand it, right?"
Snow raised a finger, didn't think about it for a moment, and nodded with a solemn expression.
So Snow raised a second finger:
"Second, the information I tell you is all I can say. Even just thinking about the rest will increase my risk, so I hope you will not make any relevant inquiries after listening to what I have to say."
"Okay, please tell me." After hearing Snow's two premises, Xio's mood swings became more intense.
"To put it simply, your father discovered some secrets of the Loen royal family, or more specifically the king, and wanted to report them to the church, but he was executed on the spot."
When Snow said this, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then stopped talking. Just as Xio was about to ask more questions, he remembered Snow's previous words and immediately suppressed all doubts in his mouth.
"The king's secret..." Although this answer did not satisfy Xio, it also made her relieved. Although she had been committed to investigating the truth of her father's death and wanted to restore her father's reputation, she was always worried about
A piece of stone, for fear that my father would really participate in the rebellion and really have no reputation at all...
Fortunately, the information obtained now does not seem to be the case.
Reaching out and patting his face, Xio raised his head, looked at Snow's calm face that looked like a painting, and said:
"So, what about the full moon's gibbering?"
"Well... let me ask you, do you know about the 'Hidden Sage'?" Snow asked pointedly. The shocked Xio almost spilled the black tea in front of her, but she still forced herself to calm down.
Pretending to be calm, he said:
"You mean, the full moon whispers are related to the Hidden Sage? Isn't the Hidden Sage an extraordinary person who only affects the path of the Secret Sage?"
"No, don't get me wrong. What I mean is that the source of the full moon's whispers is an existence similar to the Hidden Sage, or even a little higher. Since you know that the Hidden Sage will affect the Secret Sage, then
You should understand how terrifying the whispers of such high-level beings have on low-sequence extraordinary people. The source of Miss Forsi’s magical item is the legacy of this being’s bloodline descendant. Every time Miss Forsi uses it,
, will deepen the connection with that being on a mystical level. If you say this, you should understand, right?"
Snow maintained his eye-to-eye contact with Xio. Xio nodded instinctively, and then asked, seemingly absent-mindedly:
"Is there a solution?"
"There are only two kinds." Snow raised two fingers and then bent one of them——
"First, you can be promoted to a Sequence Four demigod and gain divinity. In this way, although the nonsense cannot be eradicated, the pollution brought to your personality is already negligible, and you will no longer feel the pain, nor will you suffer from it.
out of control."
Xio was obviously not satisfied with this method, and Snow could certainly tell that, so he curled up his second finger——
"Second, find a great being to protect Miss Forsi, such as a god or something. Of course, this requires enough divine grace. If Miss Forsi has a sufficiently devout faith, then you can go to the corresponding church to pray.
try."
"Pious?" Xio recalled the way Forsi would rather sleep a little longer than pray. Going to the church to seek help, the probability of being locked up in the basement seems to be higher, right?
"Is there no other way?" Although Xio understood to some extent that there was really no good way to deal with things of this level, she still asked with the thought of "what if there is".
"Although it's not impossible, I think you probably won't accept it, such as praying to evil gods or hidden existences. After all, compared to righteous gods, these hidden existences have fewer believers and are easier to get responses. As for getting responses,
Whether it will be worse than before... it's hard to say. If you think it's okay to choose this, I can also provide you with the names and prayer rituals of one or two less dangerous hidden existences, such as The Fool and Paradox.
Gathering and the like... Of course, what I'm talking about here is not that dangerous, and that's just for now."
"No need." Xio shook her head without the slightest interest, and Snow didn't try to persuade her, just nodded and said:
"Wise choice."
After that, he took out a business card from his pocket and placed it in front of Xio:
"This is the summoning spell of my messenger. You should know how to use it. In addition, if there is any commission, I will also notify the messenger to send you the commission content. I hope you can abide by the contract."
"I understand." Although she didn't actually get any useful information, the contract still came into effect because she knew very well that the information given by the other party was indeed worthy of the offer.
She took the business card and stuffed it into her coat pocket, and then she was about to get up and leave, but just then...
"Clang!"
A bright three-edged thorn lay at Xio's feet.
"Ah, this..." Xio was about to explain, but found that Mr. Snow, who was in front of him just now, didn't... oh, why was he on the wall?
"Sorry, as an arbiter, I must have enough persuasive methods for those who lack reason. This is reasonable, right?" Xio looked a little embarrassed as he supported the wall with his hands and feet, hanging himself from the ceiling.
Mr. Snow quickly took the three-edged thorn back into his arms.
"As an intelligence businessman, it's reasonable for me to be sufficiently vigilant, isn't it?"
…
"Mr. Snow is so cowardly! But with a dedicated messenger and the ability to obtain so many secrets, I'm afraid there is a terrifying force behind him!"
After leaving Snow's mansion, Xio silently evaluated the intelligence businessman, but soon, she realized another problem——
She seems to have overlooked something...
"That's right! I just lowered my head, and he disappeared right in front of my eyes! There was no sound, and he didn't touch anything. The most outrageous thing is that with such a large range of movements, his cat actually stayed on him.
On the shoulders! This man is not a timid weakling at all, he is just showing weakness!"
