Avoid...
"Director?" Li Xini said in disbelief.
The middle-aged man was stunned and looked around: "What director? Who is the director? Where is the director?"
"Don't give me that. Aren't you critically ill?"
Li Xini was shocked and said, "Don't you have lung cancer? Why are you still smoking so heavily? You said you were seriously injured and dying? Why do you make me feel that you are healthier than me when you are holding a beautiful woman?"
Yes, that middle-aged man was Constance.
"Yes, I am critically ill."
Constance's whole body was twitching and she was about to die.
Li Xini's face was filled with black lines: "Stop pretending! You have epilepsy!"
"Oh, is it so?"
Constance said seriously, "But I always pretended like this before, and they all believed it. Why are you the only one who doesn't believe it? I always thought I was a good actor."
Licinius put his hand on his forehead and said, "What on earth are you playing at?"
Constance snorted, "Didn't you call me here?"
Licinius was startled.
Constance raised her hand, pointed to a potion shop across the street, and said calmly, "See? That shop is an entrance to the underground world."
Licinius asked blankly, "And then?"
"Sword Saint Phyllis and Sword King Bakar have a common teacher, an old monster from the Rose Sword School. His situation is the same as mine, and he has only been alive for a few years. Unlike me, his situation is even worse than mine, and he has been recuperating in the underground world to adjust his condition."
Constance glanced at him and said unhappily, "I woke up from my deep sleep just to calm him down and prevent him from causing trouble. Do you think Phyllis really became the vice-president just by relying on her personal strength? No, she has the Rose Sword School behind her."
Licinius raised an eyebrow: "I see."
"Pigs should be fattened before being killed."
Constance said intentionally or unintentionally: "But you did a good job today. You were able to mark Phyllis in... that way. You should be able to track her next time, right?"
Licinius nodded: "As long as there are corresponding holy relics or magic tools."
Constance waved her hand. "The Bureau has all those things. Do you have any more of those bullets? Give me a few. I'll keep them for later use."
Li Xini glanced at him and said, "Aren't you critically ill? Why are you here to take advantage of me?"
Constance was unhappy and slammed the bar: "You also know that I am critically ill? I am critically ill and you still want to drag me out to work for you? Are you still a human being?"
Li Xini coughed twice, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I warn you, if you threaten us with the power of the Lord of Annihilation again..."
Constance paused and said, "I will go to His Majesty and surrender myself. We will all die together! You are not as fast as me. Even if His Majesty kills me, you will not have a good ending."
hiss…
Licinius took a deep breath and fell into deep thought.
"We are all family. Look at what you said. Don't get excited. I was just joking with you. After all, if we want to track down those old nobles, Phyllis must take the first step. Don't you think so? This is also for the overall situation."
He coughed dryly: "Oh, by the way, how is Lucimia?"
Constance said unhappily, "You don't have to worry about this. Before I became critically ill, I used some tricks to subdue the director of the Third Inspection Department. They will help find the little guy."
Licinius hummed.
The Director seems unreliable.
But when it comes to my daughter, I am still very serious.
"Then I have one less enemy, right?"
He was a little surprised.
"Yes… "
Constance looked him up and down. "Miss Augurola is on you?"
"Meow."
A little white kitten jumped out of Li Xini's sleeve and squatted gracefully.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
The white cat spoke in human language: "Constance, why don't you die yet?"
Constance said with a dark face, "I am annoyed when I see you guys now. When we go to Xavier's family tonight, please help keep an eye on them, just in case."
The white cat nodded slightly, then jumped onto the boy's head and lay down to sleep.
With promotion approaching, she became more and more sleepy.
"Director, do you also agree that I can go to the Xavier Family?"
Licinius was surprised and asked, "Aren't you afraid that something might happen to me?"
Constance shrugged. "The old dean didn't stop you, so why should I? Apart from your girlfriends, the person in the world who least wants you to get into trouble is probably him."
"Why?" Licinius asked, frowning.
"He didn't tell you?"
Constance said faintly, "Back then, he risked his life to bring you out of the Valerius family's laboratory. At that time, you were still a baby, and in order to protect you, he withstood your grandfather's soul-burning attack. Otherwise, you would have been dead long ago."
"You know what? The thing he regretted most in his life was that after he took that blow, he fainted in the laboratory, which led to you being taken away by the people of the Valerius family.
As a result, you had a miserable childhood. He often lamented that as a demigod, he couldn't protect a child. So when he woke up, he went to the forbidden land to explore the secrets of your clan and better protect you. "
He smoked a cigarette and said calmly, "After all, you are the child he sacrificed everything to save. He never married or had children in his life, so he regards you as his spiritual descendant."
Licinius was stunned.
At this moment, all he could think about was the last words the old man said to him.
"You can come and kill me anytime, and I promise no one will stop you."
Suddenly, he recalled the tragic experiences of his childhood, and suddenly he didn't feel it was so hard anymore.
Thinking back to those cold winters, there is actually a hint of warmth;
It turns out that he has never been alone in this world.
"I see."
Li Xini nodded slightly: "Director, please take care of yourself."
Constance glared and said, "Just stop being so stupid and angry with me. If you keep going like this, God knows if I can still wait until the day you become the director of the Bureau of Control."
Li Xini coughed dryly: "Um, should it be okay?"

As night falls, there is a quiet manor in the eighth district of the royal capital.
Under the moonlight, the ancient castle seems eerie.
Xavier family.
As one of the top nobles in the royal capital, the Xavier family is the most low-key one. They don't even have many investment properties under their name. They just quietly maintain the business left by their ancestors.
Funeral industry…
However, what is strange is that the Xavier family is clearly in the funeral business, but they almost never cooperate with the Messiah Holy Church, but have their own set of processes.
Services are open only to people other than Messianic believers.
However, in the Brentanian Empire, the number of Messianic Holy Church believers accounts for as much as one-fifth of the total population, including a large number of mobile believers, so the Xavier family is often criticized.
Coupled with this unlucky business, the Xavier family rarely interacts with others.
But tonight, a horse-drawn carriage slowly approached from the bustling neighborhood.
Arrived at the gate of the manor.
Chapter 181 Claudia is worthy?!
Licinius was the first to get off the carriage. He was dressed formally tonight, with his silver hair combed neatly back. He was wearing a dark gray suit, a red bow tie, and black crocodile leather shoes.
He just straightened his clothes and reached his hand into the car.
A delicate little hand covered with magic rings rested on his palm.
Noren lifted her skirt and jumped out of the car carefully in her high heels: "Thank you, Master."
The off-shoulder white dress had a hem that looked like a blooming white rose, revealing a pair of delicate, snow-white legs, and a pair of black high-heeled shoes, which set off her slender figure and well-proportioned body.
Her long platinum hair was elegantly tied behind her head, revealing her slender white neck. The off-shoulder dress half-covered her delicate collarbone and round shoulders, giving her a perfect beauty.
Add to that her earrings and necklace, rings on both hands, and delicate bracelets and leg rings.
She seems like a born little princess.
"You're welcome… "
Li Xini looked into the carriage and said, "Sister, do you need any help?"
Novia snorted coldly and replied calmly: "No, I have long legs."
Noren: “…”
The curtain of the carriage was opened again, and Novia bent down and got off the car lightly. She rarely tied up her long silver hair tonight, and her makeup was cool and delicate. She wore a lazy black off-shoulder long dress, a pair of red high heels, and carried a huge iron box in her hand.
It can be seen that she has a distrustful attitude towards the Xavier Family.
Even carrying weapons.
If they really encounter any situation, Norn and Novia can work together to cast metal magic, which should produce a very powerful synergy effect. As long as the enemy is not too terrifying, they will be able to deal with it.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Licinius was very confident.
First of all, he possesses the Eye of Annihilation, which allows him to overturn the table at any time.
Secondly, the white cat was hiding in his sleeve.
Augurola is the strongest among the top warlocks. Although his condition is definitely not as perfect as before due to his imminent promotion, it would still be a disaster if he went all out.
Finally, Norn has a Ring of Nothingness given by His Majesty in his hand.
If the Xavier family wants to do something, it can just happen to add some business to their business.
What to do if there are no corpses to open a business? Then set an example and produce and sell your own products!
"I've felt it. Since we entered the Eighth District, there have been countless warlocks hiding in the dark. Although they haven't blatantly spied on us, this place is clearly under their control." Novia looked around. The Eighth District seemed a little eerie in the night, and the night wind was bleak.
Licinius hummed and turned to look at the castle of Xavier Manor.
The cold moonlight and the dark clouds hovering above the sky.
The ancient fortress was obscured by the sharp reflections of countless leaves in the moonlight.
It was as quiet as a tomb.
"Master, I seem to have heard some sound."
Noren frowned.
In the silence, there was indeed a rustling sound echoing, dense and strange.
The white cat meowed, and the childish and cold voice echoed in the boy's mind.
"That's the Time Worm, a special kind of monster brought out from the forbidden land of Sequence Two. They have a very strange ability that can consume time within a certain range."
The white cat explained: "After being eaten by the Time Worm, no matter what happened during this period of time, no trace will be left. Of course, this is within the realm of the warlock.
In other words, as long as you clean up the scene and then cooperate with the Time Worm, no one will know what happened here. "
Because traces are cleaned up, time is eaten up.
Licinius was quite surprised: "Interesting..."
It seems that the Xavier family is not simple.
