Chapter 39

The girl didn't look back, Lucia had to speed up and ran up, and hurriedly stopped her.

"I'm sorry to bother you!" Lucia took a deep breath and looked up at the girl.

Her face was pale, her lips were pale, and her green eyes were as calm as a pool of numb stagnant water.

"What's the matter?" the girl asked softly.

"Well, I don't know if my sister remembers me," Lucia said, and found that the girl in front of her didn't respond at all, so she reminded, "The person who protected you before was my brother."

A subtle light appeared from those dead water-like eyes, and the girl looked a lot more vivid: "Well, what's the matter?"

"That's it, I think elder sister, you seem to be going to the Temple of the Moon Maiden." Lucia whispered, "I passed by the Temple of the Moon Maiden just now, and I saw a policeman there, as if there was a murder there. "

"Is that so?" The girl seemed to be stunned for a while, then asked expectantly, "So...is your brother there too?"

"Hey?" Lucia didn't expect the other party to ask this question. She looked at the girl's bright eyes and felt that something was wrong.

Isn't this girl in love with Athos?

Thinking of her brother's female physique, Lucia felt a headache for a while, but she still answered her question first: "I didn't see him."

"Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to do anything." The girl shrank, the light in her eyes dimmed, "I just want to thank... Thank you for saving me."

"It's okay, my brother is a policeman, that's what he should do."

"Yeah." The girl pursed her lips and squeezed out a lost smile, "I know, he's a good policeman..."

"Thank you for praising my brother." Lucia politely thanked, "But don't go to the Moon Maiden Temple recently, it's really unsafe there."

"Thank you." The girl thanked, then turned around and walked a long way towards the way she came.

Lucia looked at the girl's back for a moment, feeling that what she saw was just a breathing ghost.

She was almost dead except when it came to Athos.

Looking at this girl, Lucia also became depressed for no reason.

Mistry squatted at Lucia's feet and said leisurely, "Miss Lucia, if you don't hurry up, you will be late."

"Huh?" Lucia felt like she was hit, "So I haven't been late until now?"

"..." Mistry's emerald green cat eyes glanced at Lucia, "Did you come here just to skip class?"

"I-I'm doing it both ways!" Lucia felt confident for a second, "What's wrong with being late in order to help others!"

"That's right," Mistry said with a smile on the cat's face, "but Miss Lucia, I want to remind you that there is more than enough time to go to the bus stop."

Lucia's shoulders suddenly collapsed, and she moved reluctantly: "Can't I really not go to school?"

"Miss Lucia." Mistry smirked, "I am your patron saint, and of course I have to protect your studies, right?"

"...I declare that you are no longer the patron saint, and become the god of bear children."

Despite reluctance, Lucia got into the carriage to the seminary and caught up to class at the last minute.

Today's class is a general education class, and it is Lucia's most painful "Continental Territory".

This course is a combination of the three courses of geography, history and politics, and it has carefully covered every major city in the mainland.

This course is also one of Lucia's favorite daze courses. The course itself is hypnotic, and the teacher doesn't like to ask questions. It is simply the best course for distraction.

When Lucia was in a daze, she saw a ball of paper flying over her desk, she turned her head curiously, and found that Robin was hinting her to open it.

Such things as passing notes in class, only Lucia has always passed it to Robin, and have never seen him pass it back.

Suddenly, Ryucia was quite surprised to give a note this time. She opened it and looked at it.

【Your brother is in trouble. 】

"?" Lucia didn't understand. After she wrote a [Why], she threw the paper ball back.

It didn't take long for Robin's paper ball to return.

[I heard from my father this morning that your brother called the police yesterday and went to seal up the Moon Maiden Temple. 】

To be fair, the Moon Maiden Temple is just a temple that is too small to be small. Even among the gods, the Moon Maiden is only the lowest level of gods.

How to seal up the Moon Maiden Temple and cause trouble?

【why? 】 Lucia returned a note in confusion.

Robin received the note and covered his face, quickly wrote a sentence and threw it over: [Wait for me to tell you after class. 】

Lucia: "???"

So why can't you wait until after class to throw the note? ! Arouse people's curiosity without speaking?

Lucia glared at Robin angrily, and wrote on the paper: [Then tell me next time you can say it! 】

Robin took the note, unfolded it, and hesitated for a long time before picking up the pen, and finally hesitantly threw a sentence over.

[In short ... a little inconvenient, I will explain it to you after class. 】

The waiting time seemed to be unlimited, and Ryucia has always guess why the Girls' Temple of the Ados checked the moon will encounter trouble, but don't want to understand.

When the get out of class finally arrived, Lucia dragged Robin and ran out of the classroom, went to the garden and asked non-stop, "Why?"

"You let me go first."

Lucia immediately let go of Robin obediently.

Robin tidied his sleeves uncomfortably, and said with a little embarrassment: "Maybe you don't know very well, the priest of the Moon Maiden Temple... How should I put it, it is more frequent with many big people."

"Why?" Ryucia didn't understand, "they said that they were all weak in the textbook."

"...Well." Robin's pale face turned slightly red, and he looked away. "They are talented in some aspects."

Such obvious hints, Ryucia suddenly understood.

She really hadn't thought of this at all before.

"In short, your brother is likely to be in trouble." Robin concluded awkwardly, "If you know who your brother is detaining, you can come and tell me."

"Hmm..." Lucia replied in a depressed voice.

"Don't worry, I have to sell a little about my face." Robin comforted Ryucia and did not forget to add. "Of course, if I help you, you want ... you will wipe out me owed you ten-day slave!"

"Okay." Lucia replied listlessly.

Robin looked at Lucia's lackluster appearance, and his whole body was not right, and he hurriedly found a topic: "Do you know why your brother is going to seal the Moon Maiden Temple?"

"...Actually it's all because of me." Lucia simply sat on the soft lawn in the garden, "My family lives in Owl Street, you have been there."

"Yes." Robin hesitated, and sat next to Lucia to listen to her.

"Sometimes I can't sleep at night, so I look out the window. From the time I came, I found that people in the Moon Maiden Temple often go out at night."

"That's their working time." Robin mocked.

"Yes, sometimes, I will see what they are carrying, but I didn't think about it at the time." Lucia grabbed her clothes, showing a somewhat frightened look, "Then last night... someone fell down, I saw what was inside."

Robin realized it wasn't easy anymore: "What is it?"

"It's a corpse, a woman's corpse."

It was obvious that I was already scared last night, but when I told it again, Lucia shrank back in fear: "I was scared, and then I told my brother."

"So." Robin's expression became serious. "Whose body does it belong to?"

"I don't know. I went to school there this morning, but I don't think any corpses were found." Lucia recalled carefully, "It may have been placed indoors or transported away."

"Well." Robin recalled carefully, "I haven't heard of any missing persons cases in the past few years."

"Well, I was wondering if it was because all the people who died were from the slums." Lucia said softly.

Robin looked at Lucia in surprise, he didn't expect Lucia to know about the slums.

Because Lucia looks like a carefree girl who has been smooth sailing from childhood to adulthood.

Her face is innocent and beautiful, even if she doesn't need to do anything, someone will naturally offer all the fruits of victory.

What's more, Lucia itself has a strong ability, whether it is riding, dancing, painting or swordsmanship, it is easy to learn.

So Robin felt that Lucia was a perfect girl who did not eat human fireworks at all and was isolated from the world.

...well, except for the occasional naughty one.

"Only people in the slums, no one pays attention when they are alive, and they won't be known when they die... That's why there are no reports of disappearance." Lucia grabbed her braid in frustration and tugged it hard, "Actually, I am today. I seem to have seen the girls there in the morning."

Robin didn't know how to answer this question. He felt that the Lucia in front of him was a little different from usual, so he could only answer dryly: "Then what?"

"She seems to like my brother, but I don't want her to get close to my brother." Lucia covered her face with a braid. "Although I didn't say it clearly, it seems she found out."

"So what?" Robin wondered.

"...So I feel a little sad." Lucia sighed, "Am I too heartless?"

"Why do you think so?" Robin didn't understand the reason for Lucia's guilt. "If she has a little self-knowledge, she should know that your brother is not someone she should approach."

Lucia looked at Robin in shock.

Robin was a little confused, and he asked inexplicably, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"You, how do you say such a thing?"

"Is it wrong? Your brother is a patrol officer. He has been commended and has a good fighting ability. He has a bright future." Robin raised the corner of his right side of his mouth with a slight sarcasm, "But women in the slums are engaged in The industry...she and your brother are not from the same world at all."

Lucia looked at Robin in shock: "Why do you say that? According to you, you and I are also people from two worlds? But you are very good to me."

But you are you.

Robin looked at Lucia, and the words turned around in his mouth. He was really embarrassed to say it, he could only explain: "But you are the only one chosen by the gods, and you have your own patron saint, And also very good, good-looking, and communication skills..."

After speaking, Robin stopped, and he looked at Lucia, who had started to cry in his eyes, at a loss: "I'm sorry, it was my fault to make you sad, I, I just think you are very good..."

"It doesn't matter, it's all because I'm too weak." Lucia blinked her tears, "I always feel... I seem to have completely destroyed her dream."

"It's just that she is too fragile, it has nothing to do with you." Robin couldn't understand Lucia's thoughts, and he persuaded clumsily, "Lucia, such a weak person, you don't need to care at all."

Lucia was bored for a while, then replied, "I see."

Robin always felt as if he had said something wrong, but he really didn't understand.

"Okay, don't want to worry about it." Lucia laughed again, "It's useless to think about it anyway, let's play again, the loser will be a slave for a day."

"Okay." Robin was relieved to see Lucia laughing, and he couldn't wait to agree, "Better than what?"

"Let's run to the classroom first!" Lucia ran out quickly before he finished speaking.

Robin originally wanted to rush in, but when he saw the classmates who were curious to see, his footsteps immediately became steady and graceful.

When he walked quickly to the classroom, Lucia was already proudly waiting for him outside the door.

"I won again!" Lucia pretended to sigh, "What a pity, Master Robin."

Robin is still very aggrieved this time: "You know that I want to maintain my image!"

"Yes, yes." Lucia was not ashamed but proud, "I call it mastering the enemy's situation!"

Robin was quietly relieved when he saw Lucia's expression coming back to life.

That's fine, he didn't want to see Lucia depressed.

Suddenly, Robin felt someone staring at him, and he turned his head to find a snow-white cat sitting on the tree next to him.

The white cat, a little bigger than a normal cat, was staring at Robin with emerald green eyes.

Although he has never kept a pet, Robin always feels that the cat seems to be examining himself.

Finally, the cat's fur face showed a "but so" expression, and jumped off the tree lightly and disappeared into the bushes.
