I really only stop

However, in Lu Xi's heart, he who digs a hole for himself as soon as they meet has been recognized as a 100% professional cheater.

"—Don't think that you can fool this matter with words full of philosophy, senior Da Vinci."

Only cadres and former cadres were present, and Lu Xi's words became much more straightforward:

"In this matter, Claire is completely innocent, but your responsibility is absolutely inescapable. As a former cadre, you actually committed such a heinous act as destroying the family property of the current cadre! This depends on Don't drop!"

"Well--"

Da Vinci, who knew he was wrong, shrank his neck.

Unintentional is indeed unintentional, but it is also a fact that the old man's whim destroyed the young man's property.He was right, the old man should indeed be responsible for this matter.

From the confrontation when they first met, the old man learned that Lu Xi is a pretty good young man.

He is quick in response, smart in mind, and his ingenious speech skills make people even wonder if he is a fox-from this point of view, he perfectly meets the standards of an old grandson-in-law.

And they are all cadres, right?

As long as you pull Lu Xi into our house, Claire and her grandma won't be able to focus on the old man from now on.At that time, the old man will be able to ride his horse again~

Realizing that he had the dangerous idea of ​​selling his granddaughter, Da Vinci shook his head quickly.

Cough cough cough, forget it, old man advocates free love, it's better for the juniors to handle their own affairs.

What's more, if it's only for the purpose of "attracting the attention of Lu Xiaohu so that he doesn't blame me anymore", there are still many cards that the old man can use in his hand——

"Okay, this old man understands, there is nothing to shy away from. You are right, this old man is responsible."

After clearing his throat, Da Vinci's face became serious - I have to say, he really has a bit of extraordinary momentum when he is serious:

"As compensation, this old man can tell you a special secret."

"【secret】?"

Affected by Da Vinci's aura, Lu Xi couldn't help but look a little more serious:

"What secret?"

Really hooked!

Seeing that everything was going as he thought, Da Vinci smiled meaningfully:

"Of course, it's the secret about your [Magic Mark·Joy]."

PS: (→)

Chapter 327 [Oedipus]

"The secret of [Magic Imprint Joy]?"

Slightly intimidated by the old man's instantly serious eyes, Lu Xi couldn't help but pause:

"No, isn't it Tu Yile's demon nature? Is there any secret?"

"..."

After staring at Lu Xi speechlessly for a while, Da Vinci looked sideways at Claire:

"You haven't told him yet?"

"I told you, but looking at Lu Xiqing's appearance, he doesn't seem to care at all."

Sighing softly, the undercover girl rarely pouted:

"Obviously I emphasized it again in the magic communication..."

"Hey, didn't Yuxia attack me behind my back that time?"

After Claire mentioned it, Lu Xi seemed to think of something:

"I remember you said, [Magic properties that can recombine with each other should be very rare], but I can successfully recombine demonic properties with every demonic holder I have seen-does the so-called [secret] refer to this?"

"Well, that's one of the problems too."

Da Vinci nodded slightly, and took over the topic:

"In fact, most of the demon natures are mutually exclusive. For example, Claire's [intellect] and the [beast nature] holder you mentioned, there is an essential difference between the two. When two When demon holders meet, they can obtain part of the effect of each other's magic through sharing, but [composite magic] can only appear under extremely special circumstances."

"It turned out to be like this."

Lu Xi rubbed his chin thoughtfully:

"I used to think that compound magic can be achieved between any two cadres."

"Don't be stupid, how is it possible."

Da Vinci took the tea from Claire with ease, and immediately expressed his disdain for Lu Xi's idea:

"The effect of each composite demonic nature is far superior to that of ordinary pure hybrid demonic natures. If everyone among the cadres could combine composite demonic natures, the Demon King's army would have been pushed all the way from the demon world to the imperial capital."

There is nothing wrong with da Vinci's statement.As the undercover girl said before, both [Triumph] and [Enlightenment] are powerful abilities that can change the trend of the entire war on their own.

To borrow a well-known phrase, one compound demonic nature is [horrible], and if you collect ten or hundreds of them, what's the deal?

"However, why can my joy be compounded with so much magic?"

Naturally thinking of this question, Lu Xi subconsciously touched the finger that was once engraved with a mark:

"It's weird. Could it be that Joy is the devil's harem king? The kind that can rub against anyone?"

"Good boy, old man, I like your metaphor—cough! There are still girls here, what are you talking about!"

Concealedly raising his eyebrows at Lu Xi, Da Vinci took a sip of tea and said slowly:

"The old man has been paying attention to [Magical Nature Joy] for a long time. As early as when I passed my intelligence to Claire, I discovered some secrets of [Joy]. And these secrets are related to a person are inseparable—”

"That's the previous owner of the Demonic Joy, the Demon King's Army cadre—【Oedipus】."

--------------

Oedipus?

Hearing this name again after a long time, Lu Xi could still think of that extremely iconic exaggerated laugh—Yiyaha!Yihahahahaha! !

Oedipus, the former owner who appeared in the form of a phantom of a clown mask on the first night when I obtained [Magic Mark·Joy], uttered a wild laugh and made a meaningless declaration, and then disappeared completely.

It is precisely because of his existence that after seeing such an unreliable senior, I am even more convinced that my demonic nature is definitely for Tu Yile's use only, and nothing else.

However, since the name was so solemnly mentioned by Da Vinci at this moment, the story behind it is definitely not that simple.

"According to the information in the hand of the old man, Oedipus, the holder of joy, participated in the war between humans and demons 150 years ago."

When it comes to business, old Mr. Da Vinci is absolutely not ambiguous:

"Unexpectedly, although there were many powerful Demon King Army cadres gathered under his command at that time, the Lord Demon King at that time resisted all opinions and promoted Oedipus, who held [Joy], to the top of ten thousand people. Its sublime is only inferior to Lord Demon King, the holder of [Intelligence] at that time, and another cadre, who is the [Third Seat] among the cadres of the Demon King's army."

The Demon Race is a race that extremely advocates force.Leaving aside the 'Tu Yile' who was often criticized by Lu Xi, from the effect point of view, it can only exert a mental influence on the opponent and slightly boost the morale of the party. mean.

As the owner of pleasure, even the quick-witted Lu Xi couldn't think of its uses other than the two kings in cosplay. On the contrary, its effects with various compound magic properties are very powerful.

"Could it be that it was because of the panacea characteristic of joy that 'anyone can rub' that the Demon King at that time made such a decision?"

After thinking about it, Lu Xi could only think of one advantage of the Mark of Joy:

"As an auxiliary hand to help build composite magic, the mark of joy is still very good."

"I don't know about this. What I can tell you is that there is no record in the records handed down by intellectual holders that 'pleasure can be compounded with any magic'."

Having said that, the old Mr. Da Vinci can't help but frown:

"It's not a big deal. As one of the few powerful leaders of the Demon King's Army and the former joy holder of [Third Seat], Oedipus didn't even leave any detailed written information, not even a portrait. They were all replaced with clown masks - which is obviously not in line with common sense."

Evidence of a person's existence is not so easy to disappear, not to mention that this person still plays the role of leader in a huge force.

"Lu Xiqing, in fact, I've always wanted to ask you. If it's inconvenient, I don't have to answer."

Da Vinci's wise and clear eyes looked seriously at Lu Xi's eyes. The bad old man who took pleasure in digging holes for others just now couldn't find a trace. The brilliance of [intellect]:

"Where did you find your mark of joy? If I knew the location, I might be able to work backwards from the end and slowly find out the truth hidden in history."

"There's nothing to shy away from. Claire and I have said it before."

Lu Xi did not choose to hide it, but truthfully stated his experience:

"In a certain Houkai maze near Rhine City, after defeating the mutated monster, I found [Magic Seal Joy], and was engraved by it inexplicably that night—that's how it happened."

"...【Maze】ah..."

Da Vinci took a breath of air in distress:

"It's another mysterious place that is isolated from the world and absolutely independent. The route of inverting is fundamentally rejected, as if someone is deliberately hiding everything about him."

"..."

Sensing the sincere regret in the old man's tone, the two young people present fell into a slight silence.

Oops, it would be terrible if it made these two children feel bad because of their old age.

If I don't do something here, the old man, I will be no different from the kind of idiot grandpa who interjects in the process of children's blind date and asks about the house and car, causing the atmosphere to cool down!

"—But! The reason why a riddle is called a riddle is precisely because it has value worthy of being solved!"

Keenly aware of the atmosphere at the scene, Da Vinci took out a pitiful little tobacco leaf from the gap at the hem of his clothes leisurely, and stuffed it into the pipe self-consciously:

"You children should go and play, just now it was just a leisurely and flustered old man's self-entertainment-well, after using your brain, of course you have to take a comfortable bite-woo oh oh! Baby granddaughter ! Grandpa, Grandpa's pipe!!"

"Still secretly hiding tobacco leaves in a hidden place? Grandpa clearly promised to quit smoking before!"

Facing the old urchin who turned back on his word, Claire showed the majesty and momentum that a lady official should have:

"From now on, the pipes will also be confiscated. If you don't change after repeated admonitions... just let grandpa stay by grandma's side every day and not let him leave!"

Responding to her was Mr. Da Vinci's sad cry:

"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

Chapter 328 Bridegroom and Bride-to-be

After exchanging information with each other, the sun was already close to setting.Old Mr. Da Vinci sighed and went home to find his wife to admit his mistakes, while Lu Xi and Claire went to the street together to find Celica and his party who bought sweet cakes.

Walking side by side with the undercover girl on the avenue illuminated by the setting sun, as if not quite used to this quietness, Lu Xi sighed:

"Mr. Da Vinci is really an interesting person."

"Huh? Lu Xiqing doesn't blame him anymore?"

The girl with glasses turned her head curiously:

"Grandpa dug a big hole in your manor?"

"Well, after all, what the old man said is right. No one would have thought that the development of things would be such a coincidence."

Lu Xi sighed, and then showed a somewhat mysterious smile:

"Besides, it's not that I didn't take revenge. When no one knew, I secretly left a little 'little surprise' for old Mr. Da Vinci-the person who digs the pit will eventually be tricked, and the old man should understand this Makes sense."

"Puchi~"

Amused by the look on Lu Xi's face when he said this, the undercover girl's eyes were bent into crescents:

"I won't ask what Lu Xiqing's so-called 'revenge' is. If this time can really make grandpa suffer a little bit and become honest, I would like to thank you instead~"

"Then please look forward to it."

Blinking at the girl, Lu Xi suddenly remembered something:

"Curly hair... Ah, for Sturm's wedding, are you going to be the bridesmaid?"

"How did Lucy know?"

Seemingly wondering why Lu Xi would ask such a question, Claire pushed down her glasses, and clenched her little fist angrily:

"Just mentioning this makes me want to punch that nasty curly hair! This morning, the bride-to-be, Miss Latina, and I had prepared everything early, and it was only when we were about to rehearse that we learned that the man Strom had escaped. ——What on earth did he mean! Miss Latina's tears fell right then!"

"Ah ha ha……"

Lucy scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

Brother Curly did it impulsively.Although as a man, I can understand that he is eager to prove his innocence and does not want to go through the wedding process even if it is a rehearsal under the condition of being suspected by the other half, but he obviously never thought about throwing the bride at the scene and slipping away On the contrary, the problem is even bigger.
