"Are you...Irene?" Lu Qing turned around and looked at the familiar figure in front of her with a somewhat blank gaze.
"Is it really you?" Irene looked at Lu Qing with surprise. She didn't expect that the princess who had been missing for fifty years would suddenly appear in the Steel City.
"Are you really Irene?" Lu Qing looked at Irene who was not much different from her memory, and was filled with doubts in her heart.
Hadn't she been sleeping under the roots of the sacred tree for fifty years? Why did Irene's appearance look exactly the same as in her memory, with almost no change.
Lu Qing was even thinking just now whether the person in front of her might be Irene's daughter.
"Fifty years have passed, and your Royal Highness, you are still the same as before." Irene was the first to express her thoughts.
"Well, I want to tell you this too." Lu Qing said after being stunned for a moment.
"I..." After hearing Lu Qing's words, Irene's face looked a little weird. She subconsciously put her arms behind her back, and then she put her arms down as if she remembered something.
return.
"For some special reasons..." After Irene hesitated for a while, she slowly pulled open the sleeve of her right arm, revealing a piece of dead skin that was full of wrinkles and seemed to be crawling.
"I was polluted by the power of the void, but the impact of the pollution was not deep..." Irene didn't dare to look at Lu Qing and said, "It is this power that keeps me alive.
Until now."
"Huh..." Taking a deep breath, Lu Qing looked at the head maid who was almost the same as in his memory, and said: "Relax, I have no prejudice against people contaminated by the power of the void.
.”
"..." Irene didn't say anything, but looking at her look, she seemed to be somewhat relieved.
"Excuse me, why are you here?" Irene looked at Lu Qing curiously and asked.
"There are things to do." Lu Qing nodded, and after thinking for a while, she decided to tell Irene the purpose of coming here.
Fifty years have passed since they last chatted. It’s hard to say how much credibility Irene still has. But after Irene was willing to show her the traces of void pollution on her arm, Lu Qing decided to
I believe Eileen.
And if this information is important, it is not important, and telling others will not have any impact.
"Are you here to purify the fire element?" After listening to Lu Qing's words, Irene looked a little surprised and said, "But I have never heard of any signs that the fire element has been contaminated."
As she spoke, Irene pointed to the street lights in the distance and said: "All the street lights in the Steel City and many factories use the power of the fire element. If there is really a problem with the fire element, it should have been noticed long ago.
That’s right.”
"Ling'er's judgment can't be wrong." Ling, who was hiding under Lu Qing's cloak, retorted after hearing Irene's words.
"Are you the legendary elf?" Erin said curiously to the spirit hiding under the cloak.
After finishing speaking, after a pause, Irene looked at Lu Qing and said, "This is not the place to talk. If you don't mind, you can go to my house first."
"Thank you." Lu Qing nodded in agreement, and then thanked her. Suddenly, she thought of something again, and added: "Stop using honorifics, you are not my head maid now."
"Um...Okay." After being stunned for a moment, Irene nodded.
After walking behind Irene for about fifteen minutes, they came to a very "busy" street.
Red lights shine on the pedestrians on the street, and scantily clad women stand in front of various shops, using their most seductive voices to attract roadside visitors.
"This can't be..." Lu Qing's eyes twitched twice and whispered: "It's a red light district."
Guguo
"Red light district?" Irene had never heard of this term, but after thinking about it, she was able to understand the meaning of Lu Qing's words and said: "It's what you think, this is... um.
....." Erin was thinking about how to say it more tactfully.
"No need to say it, I know." Lu Qing pulled the hood on her head hard to cover her uncontrollably red cheeks.
"Why are we here?" She looked at Eileen in confusion. As she was speaking, she saw a man hugging two slender long legs in a dark alley not far away...
..
"Hetui~" Lu Qing condemned the other party in her heart for doing such a thing outside, and at the same time, her eyes couldn't help but wander over there.
"I'm sorry, because I think this is the only place where I can talk safely." Irene smiled apologetically at Lu Qing, and then led her to a very large building.
"This is... the stage?" After entering the building, Lu Qing looked at the stage paved with red carpet in front of her.
"Yes, that's a place for dancing. Professional dancers dance there every day, attracting people to come here for consumption." Irene led Lu Qing to a step on the right side of the building and said, "I am here
The boss.”
"Are you the boss here?" Lu Qing was even more surprised.
Erin didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, so she said, "It was all a long time ago."
Going up the stairs to the second floor, she took Lu Qing and Ling into the deepest room: "This is where I usually live. I don't have to worry about anyone eavesdropping here."
Lu Qing walked into the room and carefully observed the structure of the room.
A brass chandelier, a huge double wooden bed, a dressing table covered with cosmetics, a smooth floor-to-ceiling mirror, bookshelves densely packed with various reading materials, and an open but unread book on the desk.
books.
In addition, there are warm stoves and soft leather sofas...
"Okay, I can safely say this here." Eileen said while sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Yeah." Lu Qing retracted her gaze from looking around the room and put down the hood of her cloak.
"I can finally come out, I've been suffocating Ling'er to death!" Ling flew out from under Lu Qing's cloak and said with the light blue light on her body flashing.
"Is this an elf?" Eileen said curiously as she looked at the spirit flying in the air.
"Well, this is Ling, the elf who came here with me from the Elf Forest." Lu Qing introduced Irene. After speaking, she said to Ling: "This is Irene, the one who used to take care of me.
Head maid."
"Hello." Erin greeted Ling.
"Hello." This is the spirit.
After nodding to Ling, Aileen looked at Lu Qing and said, "If you have anything you want to ask, you can ask me now, and I will tell you everything I know."
"I've already said that there is no need for honorifics." Lu Qing looked at Irene helplessly and said, "First of all, it's about the contraband..."
Lu Qing took out the box she had snatched from the soldiers before, put it on the table and said.
"This is..." After hearing Lu Qing's words and seeing what she took out, Irene's pupils shrank subconsciously.
"Is this something dangerous?" Lu Qing said after seeing Irene's reaction, and stopped opening the box.
Erin's reaction made her wonder if there was a bomb hidden in the box. As long as the box was opened, the bomb inside would explode with a "bang".
