Journey to another world with a legend

According to the address given by Xue Meigui, Lu Xiaobu traveled around the imperial capital for a long time before finding a small courtyard next to the Magic Guild. Lu Xiaobu couldn't believe that the majestic Scarlet Cross Society's stronghold in the imperial capital would actually It looks like this, the dilapidated wooden door, as if it will be blown apart by a gust of wind, looking in from the crack of the door, the weeds in the yard are growing wildly, as if it has been abandoned for a long time, and no one has come to clean it Yes, it was in stark contrast to the bustling magic guild next to it. If he hadn't been sharp-eyed and saw a blood-red cross the size of a thumbnail engraved on a wooden sign at the corner of the door, Lu Xiaobu would have thought he had gone to the wrong place.

Walking forward lightly, Lu Xiaobu just raised his hand and was about to knock on the door. Suddenly, the wooden door was opened, and an old man with a cane came out from inside. He looked Lu Xiaobu up and down, frowned and said: " Young man, who are you talking to to close the door again? I don’t think this is the place for you to come, you should leave quickly.”

Seeing the old man who was about to close the door again, Lu Xiaobu hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, grandpa, is this the stronghold of the Scarlet Cross? I'm here to find someone."

When Lu Xiaobu said this, the old man's eyes flashed brightly, he stared straight at Lu Xiaobu for a long time, and then said: "Hehe, young man, I think you are in the wrong place. I have never heard of the name Hui. How could this be their stronghold? I think you should leave quickly. Although my old man is already old, if you want to break in, I will have a good talk with you. Cough... Cough..." Coughing as he spoke, he strenuously put the crutch in front of him in a strange posture.

It should be said that the old man in front of him seemed weak, but when he assumed this posture, his temperament immediately turned aside, standing upright like an ancient pine, seemingly casually swaying, but it gave Lu Xiaobu the feeling that he was attackable. Shou, no flaws.Lu Xiaobu immediately knew that the old man in front of him was not simple, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, it's true, I really came here to find someone, it was Xue Meigui who told me, if I have any troubles, I should go to the person in charge of the Scarlet Cross Society of the Imperial Capital." People, said he would help me, by the way, Rose gave me this back, saying that if they don't help, show him this token." Saying that, she gave Blood Rose her own token Handed it to the old man.

The old man took the token suspiciously, nodded, and said, "Well...it's the token of that girl Rose, but why would she give this token to you? You must know that this thing is a token that she carries with her, As far as I know, she doesn't seem to have anything to do with your older brother or friend, and besides showing closeness to us old men, that girl seems to have always been cold to men. How can she help you this time? And Entrusting such an important thing to you?"

Hearing the old man's words, Lu Xiaobu blurted out: "I'm Rose's boyfriend, who will she help if she doesn't help me?" After speaking, Lu Xiaobu regretted it, because he found that the old man was using a way of looking at idiots. He looked at himself.

Lu Xiaobu said weakly: "Well...Master...why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me?." He deliberately turned around and looked at his clothes.

The old man coughed in embarrassment, and said: "Cough...it's okay, it's okay, the young man is very nice, treat us Rose well, hehe...hehe. This girl finally..." Halfway through the speech, the old man seemed to realize that there was something wrong with her. No, stopped, looked at Lu Xiaobu who was about to open his mouth to speak, and hurriedly continued: "By the way, young man, didn't you say you want to ask me for help? Since Rose asked you to come, if you have anything to say, just say I will do my best, old man." After speaking, he looked at Lu Xiaobu kindly, but Lu Xiaobu still seemed to see a smile, sympathy and gloating in his eyes.

Although Lu Xiaobu was surprised by the meaning in the eyes of the old man, but no matter what, the old man agreed to help him, so he didn't ask any more questions, looked around and said: "Grandpa, it seems that this is not a place to talk. ?”

Only then did the old man come to his senses, and said to Lu Xiaobu, "Look, I'm so confused, how could we let Rose's boyfriend stand outside for such a long time, if she finds out, what can I do? Old man Gu is on me, come on, quickly follow me into the house." Saying that, he pushed the wooden door completely open, and walked towards the courtyard first.

After entering the courtyard, Lu Xiaobu found that the interior of the courtyard was not as dilapidated as it looked from the outside. Several pots of unknown flowers were placed in an orderly manner, making people feel that the owner of the house is a person of taste.

When the old man Lu Xiaobu was ushered into the living room, he sat down on the chair casually and said, "Young man, it should be convenient to talk here, if you have anything to say, just talk straight." He looked at Lu Xiaobu with a smile.

Lu Xiaobu said: "Actually, I came to you this time. To be precise, I should send money to your Scarlet Cross Society. But it depends on you, old man, whether your teeth are good enough. Do you dare to accept this business?"

The old man showed a look of daring interest, and said to Lu Xiaobu: "Oh? Send us money? What kind of business? Tell me? Boy, you don't have to use aggressive methods against me. If your business is against us It's beneficial, even if we don't look at Rose's face, we will accept it, if we don't get a satisfactory reward in the end, even if you say it's broken, I won't agree, so I'd better put away your little trick. "

Seeing that his tricks were exposed, Lu Xiaobu didn't feel any embarrassment, and continued: "Hehe, I naturally have enough interests to make you understand, so I came to you, but you decided to speak here so that no one will listen to you." Go? You know, if this matter is leaked out, even the royal family will be tempted by the benefits involved. I think that although your Scarlet Cross is powerful, you may not be afraid of the royal family. Unnecessary trouble is always bad."

After listening to Lu Xiaobu's words, the old man's eyes became more interested, he nodded, motioned for Lu Xiaobu to follow him, got up and walked towards the bedroom.

In the bedroom, the old man slightly turned a teapot on the coffee table. Under Lu Xiaobu's astonished gaze, he heard a crackling sound. The tunnel appeared in front of Lu Xiaobu, the old man turned his head and smiled kindly at Lu Xiaobu, and said: "You also know, how our Scarlet Cross got its start, to put it bluntly, it's just a high-level killer. This kind of shady force, many forces on the continent already hate us so much, they want to get rid of it quickly. We must also leave a way out for ourselves."

Lu Xiaobu showed a look of understanding, and jumped into the entrance of the tunnel first. The old man behind looked at Lu Xiaobu's shadow, showing admiration, and then jumped in. Before leaving, he patted the tunnel lightly. After touching the bed board, shortly after the old man entered the tunnel, the cracked entrance of the bed board quickly returned to its original appearance. (Book friend group number 215233963)
