Whispering Poems

Chapter 1351 Restaurant nonsense
"So that's it. We are honored to entertain you. The snow is really too big. Please come in, the family members are dining, please come with me, the master will be very happy that you can dine together."

Saying that, the old butler of the ghoul led Shade to the corridor on the left side of the first floor together with the maid.And so far, the maid of the dead, like the butler, has a strong sense of whispering elements, undead power, curses of earth madness, and demonic corruption.With such complex forces mixed together, even Shad couldn't tell which one was the original relic just by looking at it with his eyes.

But at least Xia De understands the nature of the "Crazy Land" encountered this time, which is still different from the past. This time, the scenery within the scope of the "Crazy Land" is made into a complete whole, so that any creature who enters the scene forgets the outside world He only thought that this area was the whole of the world, and then turned into dust in the curse, which made the scope of the curse continue to expand.

This special distorted nature is simply the perfect match for this kind of relic, but it is not known whether the appearance of the relic induced the distortion of the land, or the distortion of the land attracted this special relic.

The whole mansion was in dilapidated condition, the blood-stained red carpet blended with the dust, every step on the broken floor made Xia De worry that the ground would collapse.The normal time is still in the morning, but because of the influence of the relic, it is always night here.The glass lampshade of the gas lamp in the mansion is almost completely covered by dust, and in the dim corridor, it can barely illuminate a small area under the lamp.

When following the old butler inward, Xia De felt that he was walking through the darkness.The dim light, like a bait to lure prey, was constantly waiting for him in front of him.

The smell of decay, the stench of rotting corpses, and the smell of excrement became more serious as they got closer to the restaurant.While walking through the corridor, Xia De also noticed that there were a lot of undead servants in this house, and most of them were ghouls and ghosts.

In fact, this is a normal situation. Before all the Watson family died, they were also well-known local wealthy businessmen. To maintain such a large family manor naturally requires enough servants and servants, which is not normal like Oxenfurt Manor.

Because the size of the house is not particularly large, the dining room does not have the function of a banquet hall, it just connects to the kitchen as a place for the family to eat.Only the upper half of the wooden door outside the dining room was still connected to the deformed door frame by iron sheets, and the door itself was stained with black blood.

Xia De didn't dare to activate [Echo of Blood] in this environment, he was worried that he would be blinded by the red light everywhere.

After the old butler knocked on the door, an old man's voice came from the restaurant.After getting permission, the butler and the maid led Xia De inside.

At this time, Xia De has completely held his breath, because the smell here is even more terrifying than [Worm Cave].

At the entrance of the restaurant, you have to go down the steps on both sides. This is a semi-underground room.The area of ​​the whole restaurant is not particularly large, there are no windows, and there is a fireplace on the wall directly opposite the door. On the left side is an old wooden cabinet with dishes, and on the top of the cabinet are three human heads full of maggots. On the right is the door leading to the kitchen.

There was a long wooden table without a tablecloth in the center of the room, but it was said to be a long table, and there were five people sitting around it, and only the seat at one end was vacant.

Sitting at the end of the table is an old ghoul whose clothes are still in good condition. His exposed skin has completely turned blue. Because the skin and flesh are really loose, his whole body is wrinkled, as if his clothes don't fit well. clothes.At the same time, he is also the one who seems to be the most corrupted by demon power so far. He has four arms, one on the left and three on the right. His whole body smells like sulfur, and he has eight eyes on his face.

There was no need for Xia De to guess, the old butler introduced his identity. This is the old Watson, the owner of the manor, that is, the father of Haila Oxenfurt.

Among the other four people sitting opposite each other at the table, there is a ghostly old woman with a light green transparent spirit body, the hostess of the manor, and the mother of Haila Oxenfurt; curled up on the stool, with a mouse tail, The monster that looks like a child is the son of Old Watson and the elder brother of Hayla Oxenfurt. He should be 29 years old before his death; his body is extremely fat. The back of the chair must be covered, and the whole body is pink like an ogre. It is the younger brother of the owner of the manor, Old Watson, and the uncle of Haila Oxenfurt; as for the last transparent soul who hides his face and cries, A banshee of one of the special undead races, she is the youngest daughter in the family and the younger sister of Haila Oxenfurt.

In addition, there is a ghost dog lying on the ground, which is chewing a piece of human hand bone.

As for the smell, it comes entirely from the family's meals.Xia De didn't really want to use his own eyes to distinguish and use words to describe those things stacked on the table.To put it simply, rancid animal carcasses are the most food-like thing among them.The human corpses that had been decomposing for an unknown amount of time, the obvious diluted feces, and other things that Shad didn't want to guess at all were the real source of the stench.

Just looking at it, Xia De regretted that he actually had breakfast this morning.The churning feeling in his stomach intensified, and he could only desperately imagine the scene of Mia running around in front of his eyes, trying to suppress the discomfort with something that made him happy.

This is not the discomfort caused by whispering elements or demon power, it is purely an instinctive reaction of the human body.In some respects, unless the human body is abandoned, this is more difficult to contain than the extraordinary curse.

"You are truly a distinguished guest. Welcome, the emperor's special envoy. Please forgive us for our lack of hospitality. I wonder if we can invite you to have dinner with us?"

Because of that ring, Shad was treated kindly.The old ghoul who spoke, although his words were decent, his voice still sounded like "snoring", which was quite difficult to distinguish.

"Of course, it is my honor to interrupt you. Please call me Mr. Watson. The ruler of Weedon has given me a special task."

He forced a smile and sat down. Fortunately, the plates on the table were not very full. There was no "food" on the table in front of the empty seat.

"What would you like to eat, Mr. Watson?"

The hostess of the manor, the soul of the fallen lady asked, with an indescribably weird voice.

So all the monsters at the table each took their own "food" and looked towards Xia De's direction, Xia De's smile almost froze.

[If you eat these foods, it is very likely that you will get spiritual runes such as "disease", "dirty" and "feces". 】

"She" hinted softly.

"Stop joking now!"

Xia De said in his heart, and quickly organized his words:

"My master, Miss Violet, doesn't let me eat other people's food casually outside, so as not to delay my trip. However, please allow me to invite everyone to drink together, as a thank you for allowing me to rest here temporarily."

As he spoke, he reached into the inside of his coat and took out a wine bottle.Fortunately, no one cared where the wine bottle came from, and the ghost maid at the side also filled up the wine for everyone.

Xia De used the cup he carried with him, and took a sip impatiently.He has never liked drinking, and this is the first time he feels that alcohol has such a delicious taste.

The old ghoul suggested that everyone raise their glasses together, and after putting down the glasses, the fat ogre, Old Watson's younger brother, asked again:

"Oh, Mr. Envoy, the suitcase you are carrying makes me feel very uncomfortable. What is that?"

Xia De's face remained unchanged:

"That's my master, the important item that Emperor Violet asked me to send to the Higher Medical College of Serkses. I think that even country nobles like you should know what that college means."

The old ghoul still spoke in a "grunting" voice:

"Of course, it is one of the greatest witch academies. I had planned to send my two daughters to study there."

It is absolutely impossible for the ordinary old Watson to know about the "Secretsys Higher Medical College". This should be the common sense of life in the fifth era that the relics stuffed into him.

Xia De then looked at the banshee who covered her face and wept, and then followed his words and asked:
"You have two daughters? I only saw this beautiful little princess, is your other daughter married already?"

The undead banshee, who was praised by Shad, still covered her face and sobbed in a low voice. Haila Oxenfurt's brother, the small monster with a mouse tail, replied:

"Yes, I also have a younger sister who is married to some nasty guy on the other side of town."

These people didn't seem to remember how they died, but when it came to Haila's marriage, everyone became gloomy.The temperature in the room dropped slightly, and the light in the already dark underground restaurant became even darker.

Because of the alchemy items of Priest Augustus, it is not difficult for Xia De to solve these things, but Xia De still remembers what he came here for.

He held his wine glass and suffocated, pretending to be interested and said:

"Annoyed guy? Yes, the family members of married girls always hate the man who abducted their own girl. You have reasons to hate him."

"But that guy is not an ordinary nuisance, he is damned!"

The fat monster slashed fiercely on the table with the kitchen knife he used for eating in his hand.All the food on the table was shaking, making the lingering stench more obvious.

"If he's so damned, why did he marry that girl? He's rich?"

Shad asked again, but this time got no answer.Except for the banshee who covered her face and wept, the other four looked at him with a total of 27 eyes:
"Money? Every penny of his is stained with the blood of innocent people. Would we want his money?"
