Infinite Mask Game

The chat between Wei Miao and Leslie continued.

Wei Miao asked: "The reason why you deal with Carol is that you can't come due to the long distance. If you are seen in the future, won't it reveal your secret?"

Leslie smiled slightly and seemed unworried: "That will happen in the future. You said that I am determined to cut off contact. It doesn't matter whether she believes it or not."

The waiter brought the wine, and the slight ripple in the glass blurred the reflections of the two. The nonsense between Wei Miao and Leslie came to an end for the time being.

After all, he was a bard and could speak well. Wei Miao thought it would be better to pay attention to his own immediate purpose.

She chose Carol as the entry point: "By the way, Carol thought your real reason was to fall in love with someone else."

Leslie took a sip of her drink and coughed violently.

"Ahem...you won't tell me, she thinks that person is you."

Wei Miao nodded.

And Leslie looked speechless.

"I feel that my reputation has been seriously damaged, and I need some dessert comfort...for example, sweet candy." Wei Miao opened her palm, revealing the candy that Leslie had picked up.

She peeled off the candy wrapper in front of Leslie and dropped the candy into her mouth.

tasty.

Leslie looked at her with an inquiring look and listened to her follow-up words: "As a sweet tooth lover, I have a hobby that may be difficult for ordinary people to understand. I like to collect all kinds of candies. And before I came here , I heard that the most famous specialty candy in Sabo Town seems to be called 'Odin Candy', but I asked several stores and couldn't buy it."

Wei Miao looked regretful.

"You want to collect Odin candy?" Leslie's expression changed a bit.

Wei Miao asked naturally: "Yes, you have been here for at least four years, so you should know something about this kind of candy, right?"

Leslie smiled: "We do have some understanding. By chance, I happen to have two on hand right now, so I'll give them to you as a small apology and thank you for getting you into trouble."

He readily took out two strange pumpkin-shaped candies from his pocket and handed them to Wei Miao.

Wei Miao was simply impressed by him. She liked people who were so decisive.

She joked: "I'm actually a little touched."

It’s true that she has ulterior motives.

Being able to take out two at once shows that in the eyes of the special residents, although the candies are precious, their value is not as high as she imagined.

The surface of All Saints' Day candy is like glass, with a bright luster.

When Wei Miao put them in his pocket, a message suddenly popped up in the system.

[Number of candies obtained: 2]

At the same time, the candy in his pocket disappeared.

Wei Miao noticed that there was something extra in the storage space.

In the past, things in the dungeon could not be included in the storage space. In this dungeon, All Saints' Day candy became the first exception.

Wei Miao didn't show anything strange. She looked at Leslie with surprise and longing: "If I'm still a little greedy, who can I get more candies from?"

She is testing the relationship between special residents. Leslie shrugged: "Logically speaking, I can't help you point out a way. The origin of Odin brand candy is mysterious and the quantity is rare. It can be said to be a luxury product among candy. It is traded and circulated in secret. If you If you have to find it somewhere, it will most likely be in the pockets of the upper-class nobles, because they believe that this thing can prolong life."

Wei Miao: "Actually?"

Leslie finally told the truth: "In my opinion, it is a beautiful rumor. What is really worthy of praise is its wonderful taste and exquisite packaging."

He paused and then said: "However, I happen to know someone who has a lot of candies in his hands. What's more, he is here right now."

He raised the corners of his mouth and secretly pointed at a figure not far away: "That's him."

Wei Miao followed his guidance and saw the man wearing a matte black robe, sitting in a corner, drinking alone.

Leslie took a sip of wine and said, "His name is Newman, a perverse alcoholic who is as gloomy as the swamps of Pine Rain. It's not easy for you to get Odin candy from him."

Wei Miao thought for a while: "Is there anything that Mr. Newman is interested in?"

Leslie shook his head: "Don't think he is an alcoholic. In fact, I don't think he is very interested in drinking. He is just passing the time."

That is, more like in emo?

Seeing that Wei Miao couldn't ask for more information, it was time to change the subject: "There are always many obstacles on the way to pursue hobbies... I am willing to try, after all, if you don't try, you will never get it. Thank you for your hospitality."

Leslie looked at the ice water in front of her that she had only taken a sip of, and watched her walk towards Newman.

"Newman...it would be nice if I could add some trouble to that arrogant guy, but that kind lady will probably have to endure some harsh ridicule."

Wei Miao certainly couldn't tell what Leslie was thinking. Two of the bard's three sentences were roundabout.

Newman sat opposite the wall, exuding an aura that kept strangers away from him.

Wei Miao didn't see his face clearly until she sat across from him.

Surprisingly, his face was extremely handsome, with blond hair, blue eyes, red lips and jade face. He was flawless, which surprised even the well-informed Wei Miao.

In reality, all the stars she had ever seen paled in comparison to him.

The only thing that could rival or even surpass this face was the young man in the mirror whom he had never seen before. His pure and perfect appearance could not compare with his inhuman charm.

He seemed to have become accustomed to others being stunned when they saw him. He raised his eyes and glanced lightly, then lowered his head to drink without saying a word.

There is a simple pumpkin mask on his left hand, perhaps used to cover his face when traveling.

However, since Wei Miao had already seen an existence like the young man in the mirror, the reason why she was stunned by Newman was not so much that she was amazed by his appearance, but rather that she was surprised that he looked so handsome and perfect.

From Leslie's description, she originally thought he was a depressed and unkempt uncle.

Along with it came an interest in Newman himself, independent of the All Saints' Day candy.

From her perspective, it was not normal to look so perfect, let alone a special resident.

It's even more abnormal to have enviable looks but sit in a tavern drinking.

Wei Miao vaguely saw a breakthrough in him regarding the "special" residents.

After a very short time of thinking, she showed a kind smile and said friendly: "Hello, Mr. Newman. I am collecting Odin candy, and someone introduced you to me."

"Of course, I am absolutely astonished by your appearance. There is only one person in my mind who can compare with you."

Newman, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head and stared at her with his dark eyes. (End of chapter)
