Chapter 395 Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror
After leaving the tavern, Eros was just about to find a deserted alley when he heard a call from behind:
"Sir! Please wait a moment."
Eros turned around and saw that it was the young man who called him.
Eros raised his eyebrows and said in a very casual tone: "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Philip trotted up to Eros and said in a rather sincere tone:
"Sir! May I have your address?"
Upon hearing this request, Eros asked with interest:
"Oh? What do you want to do?"
Phillip took a deep breath and said in a rather apologetic tone:
"Sir, you probably don't remember me!"
Hearing this, Eros looked at the young man in front of him up and down, his eyes showing just the right amount of thinking, and after a while he suddenly said:
"It seems that I have some impression. You bumped into me once not long ago."
Phillip lowered his head and added apologetically:
"Sir! Last time I bumped into you, I slit your pocket and stole a gold coin from you."
"Then what do you mean by telling me this now?" The expression on Eros's face gradually faded and he said expressionlessly.
"I want to know your address and give you back the pound and the money for the dress."
Phillip lowered his head and said in a murmur.
Eros chuckled softly: "Aren't you afraid that I will hand you over to the police? You must know that stealing also requires going to jail."
After hearing the word "going to jail", Phillip's eyes flashed with panic, and his body was trembling slightly. He was obviously very afraid of going to jail.
So he looked at Eros and begged: "Sir! You must be a kind gentleman. Please don't do this."
"I will definitely return the money to you, double the amount. For God's sake, I, Philip, will definitely do what I say."
"Please sir, for the sake of the gods, please don't tell the police about this."
If he was taken to jail, what would happen to his young sister?
She is still so young and has lost herself. How can she survive in this cruel world alone?
In response to the young man's plea, Eros said noncommittally:
"Do you have the money to pay back? Double the amount."
Seeing that the matter seemed to be negotiable, Phillip's eyes showed a glimmer of hope, and he quickly said:
"As long as you tell me the address, sir, I will pay you back the money bit by bit."
"I knew stealing was wrong, but there was really nothing I could do about it."
"My sister has been hungry for a long time, and I really can't bear to let her continue to starve."
"Sir, I promise the gods that everything I tell is the truth."
Eros glanced at the pleading young man in front of him, and said with an unmoved expression:
"Your sister is starving, so what if my pound is used to save life in the hospital for my sister?"
"You stole it. Your sister can have enough to eat, but what about my sister?"
After hearing what Eros said, Philip explained in a low voice:
"I made some observations before stealing. He should be a rich man. He doesn't seem to be short of money. That's why I approached him."
Eros: "..."
Eros did not speak, but stared at the young man in front of him.
Feeling the gaze of the gentleman in front of him, Phillip felt a little uneasy.
After a while, Eros breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Where are your parents? You don't look like an orphan."
Indeed, the young man in front of him has fair skin and does not look like he has lived a hard life since childhood.
Before the meeting, the gentleman mentioned his parents, and Philip's eyes darkened:
"They suddenly suffered from a new type of vegetative disease a year ago and died a month ago after their family's savings were depleted."
Eros repeated in a low voice: "New vegetative disease?"
Philip nodded and explained: "This is a disease that has only appeared in recent years. The patient will gradually lose consciousness until the body's organs fail."
Eros lowered his eyes and fell into silence.
The gentleman stopped talking before meeting, and Philip shouted a few times in a low voice:
"Sir! Sir! Can you tell me your address? I will mail part of my future weekly salary to you until my debt is paid off."
Eros shook his head, patted the young man in front of him on the shoulder, and said in a rather complicated tone:
"No!"
Phillip was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant.
Eros smiled and said: "I mean there is no need to pay it back, just take your sister and live a good life."
After saying that, Eros turned around and left. Philip was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly at Eros's back:
"You are truly a kind, kind and generous gentleman. May the great God bless you."
When Eros, who was walking in front, heard this, he chuckled and shook his head.
Then he walked into the alley to the side. When he came out again, there was a bright white ring on his finger.
Eros lowered his head and glanced at the ring on his finger, while walking towards the place where his carriage was parked.
Soon, he boarded the carriage again. The carriage driver didn't know what his employer had done during this period, and he didn't want to know.
After all, this was not within the scope of his job and he just had to follow his employer's orders where he wanted to go.
"Go back!"
Listening to the calm voice coming from the carriage, the coachman waved his whip and drove the carriage towards No. 179, Belaun Street, West District.
In the carriage, Eros leaned against the wall of the carriage and looked like he was resting with his eyes closed.
In fact, his consciousness had entered his soul space.
In the soul space, Eros looked at Barbara and Cynthia in front of him and asked curiously:
"How is it? Did you find anything?"
Hearing Eros' question, Barbara looked at Cynthia.
So, Eros also looked at Cynthia.
Seeing that both of them were looking at her, Cynthia did not hesitate and immediately told her what she saw and her guesses.
After listening to Cynthia's story, Eros's face was a little solemn:
"Divinity?"
Cynthia nodded, and then said: "The vitality you sensed before should have been hidden by the people of the Abyss Cult with the help of the power of the Heavenly Chain."
"That is why the eyes of the night cannot detect the abnormality. After all, her current state is too bad, and she is far from recovering to the level where she can peek into the power of the gods."
After listening, Eros fell into silence for a long time. After a long time, he sighed and said helplessly:
"What are the people of the Abyss Cult doing?"
Seeing that no one answered him, Eros sighed again and gave up thinking about this question, but said:
"If there is really a chance, I will try to get the Heavenly Chain."
Eros naturally did not want to miss this kind of thing that can turn the tide in a big adverse situation.
It's just that it is probably difficult to do this with his own strength. He should think about how to use the power of the church to achieve his goal.
Eros lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
…
At the same time, on the other side.
In a dim room with only one candle burning, a young girl put her hands together and prayed devoutly to the small dressing mirror in front of her with a simple and gorgeous decoration:
"Magic mirror, magic mirror, please tell me when I can meet my prince."
