Whispering Poems

Chapter 1352
The light of the gas lamp in the dining room became more and more dim, and the emotions of the owners of the manor were affecting the whole manor, but Xia De pretended not to notice anything wrong, but said very indignantly:
"Don't look at me as a man, but I can still talk to the emperor. You are so generous that I can rest. If necessary, I can ask the emperor Violet to send her servants to teach you a lesson. Said damned guy."

So the frozen atmosphere became normal again, the lights became brighter, and the monsters at the table continued to eat, and the fat monster said:

"That annoying guy also has a backer, and he has an immortal body. Our family has found a very good baby. If you can deal with his immortality, you don't have to trouble the ruler of Widun, the flower of Shakadi, blessed by the stars. Empress, Your Majesty Violet."

The title it said was actually more than Xia De knew.

"So, the name of the guy who lives on the other side of town is"

The old ghoul said in a vague voice of gnashing teeth:
"Stone Oxenfurt, of course!"

The meal was over without giving Shad time to ask more questions.The old ghoul asked his housekeeper, who was also a ghoul, to arrange a room in the corner of the third floor for Xia De to rest.The time that the monsters in the manor knew was now night, so the family eating at the table also dispersed in the mansion to do their own things.

Xia De did not refuse the old ghoul's arrangement, and followed the ghoul butler, stepping on the creaking stairs, carrying his suitcase, from the side stairs on the first floor to the third floor.

The third floor was slightly more damaged than the ground floor, but it was also more corrupted by demonic forces.The furniture in the corner guest room is quite complete, but it's a pity that they are all covered with spider webs.The room didn't even have window glass, and the snow blowing into the room almost completely covered the area under the window.

The ghoul butler sent Xia De to the door and left. Xia De stood at the door and waited for a while. After making sure that the footsteps were far away, he stretched out his finger to the wooden door that could be kicked open with one foot, allowing the holy silver thorns to crawl. Full door panels.

Then he turned and looked indoors. Instead of closing the window that brought in the cold wind, he looked at the oil painting on the wall above the four-poster bed.

It was a portrait, Xia De silently looked at the woman holding a parasol in the oil painting, without blinking her eyes.After staring at each other for half a minute, the woman in the oil painting couldn't help blinking first.

"Sorry ma'am, I like to be alone when I'm off."

Xia De said, the ghost in the oil painting then nodded slightly in apology, and then disappeared from the picture.The thick spider web appeared like a phantom, covering the frame of the oil painting, and Xia De could be sure that he was really alone this time.

Although the glass of the window is gone, the dilapidated dark red curtains are still there. The wind and snow blow the curtains and keep flying inwards, but Xia De went straight to the bed, stretched out his hand to lift the bed board, and saw a ball The white thing flew towards him.

He tilted his head to avoid the white thing, and then noticed a cluster of spider webs on the wall behind him.Looking under the bed, a long-haired spider the size of a human head was perched on a carrion corpse, its compound eyes glowed red, crawling around fiercely.

"Has even ordinary spiders become like this?"

The orange moonlight long sword pierced the spider's body, and then the moonlight cut it into four neatly.As the long-haired spider's body fell to the side of the carrion, densely packed little black spiders crawled out of the long-haired spider's body, and fled along the cracked cracks in the floor in an instant.

Xia De was silent and did not speak, but looked at the rotting corpse.The corpse was wearing men's pajamas, and no fatal injuries could be seen. It seemed that after dying in a deep sleep, it fell directly under the bed.

And if there are "guests" who dare to rest on the bed, they may be attacked by rotting corpses under the bed after falling asleep.

"I know you can move."

He squinted his eyes and said softly, seeing that the other party was "playing dead" motionless, he directly threw out the light of imprisonment.Then he opened his suitcase, rummaged through it, and took out a bottle of black potion according to the label.

"It needs to be shaken by moonlight to work."

Xia De looked at the contents of the label, and put his finger on the bottom of the bottle to use the light technique. Under the bright silver moonlight, the black potion quickly turned into milky white.Then Shade shook it lightly again, the milky white color faded, and the potion turned into a completely clear color.

Unplugging the bottle, Shade poured half of the potion evenly on the head of the completely immobile carrion, then put on gloves, and poured the remaining half of the bottle into its mouth.

Finally, with the long sword in his hand, he drew the shape of a feather on the forehead of the carrion.After kissing the pendant hanging on his chest, he held the sword in both hands, tapped it on the forehead of the carrion, and said softly:
"Praise be to the first angel, praise to true death."

Some faint traces of light flowed on the scars of the feathers, Xia De retracted the long sword, and then canceled the effect of [Light of Imprisonment].

"How do you feel now?"

He stood by the bed and asked, while the rotten corpse at the bottom of the bed scratched its head and got up, speaking as if it had a mouthful of phlegm in its throat:

"It's like having an endless nightmare."

But at least under the effect of the potion, he returned to normal, looking at Shad with rotten eye sockets:

"You saved me?"

"No, this potion can only work on undead who are not seriously corrupted by demons like you, and the effect time is not very long. I will destroy you in a while and let you truly return to death."

"Thank you."

The rotting corpse said, looking at his hands with cloudy and yellow eyes, and then at the snow blowing in through the window, he didn't know what to say for a while:
"So it wasn't a dream."

"While you can think, answer some of my questions. Who are you? Are you a Watson too?"

"No, I'm Mr. Watson's business partner. I'm here to reconcile the accounts with him, and I'll stay overnight temporarily."

said the corpse.

Xia De sighed:

"Remember what happened that night?"

"I remember, but I don't want to recall, otherwise I will definitely lose my mind immediately."

The corpse spoke honestly, and Xia De noticed that the streamer light on the feather wound on its forehead was rapidly weakening.

"I can only say that it was a terrible scene that was never recorded in any book. I was very lucky. I died very early. I just lay here and heard the voices outside instead of seeing that scene with my own eyes."

"The Watson family has thought about this situation, so they have prepared some countermeasures in advance. Do you know what they have prepared to deal with that annoying Oxenfurt?"

The carrion thought for a moment, which once again weakened the brilliance of the feather imprint on its forehead:

"Old Watson mentioned that nasty Oxenfurt had supernatural powers, but luckily he got a nice thing from a tomb robber. I don't know what it is, only that it's in the In a box no bigger than your palm. The attack happened so suddenly, if it's still in this manor, I think you can go to old Watson's bedroom safe."

Xia De nodded, seeing that the mark light on its forehead had weakened to the extreme, and he could still ask one last question:
"Who is the current ruler of the country?"

"Honorable Witch Emperor, I am not qualified to pronounce that great name."

It seems that the method provided by Priest Augustus can only wake up the undead from confusion, but cannot be immune to the effect of the relic.

Before Xia De could thank him, the light in the feather-shaped scar disappeared completely.The rotting corpse that was not controlled by any means immediately rushed to Xia De, and was kicked back under the bed by Xia De.

Without using thaumaturgy, Xia De beckoned, and a cross made of holy silver flew out of the opened suitcase.He reached for the cross, bent down and stabbed it into the carrion's heart, and the corpse trembled and remained motionless.

This did not destroy it, but temporarily put it into a state of slumber with magical powers.Only by completely expelling the relics and purifying the land can these undead leave.

Of course, Xia De will come to collect the cross at that time.These things are not cheap at all. This is not a silver-plated cross, but a real sterling silver cross. Even if Priest Augustus hardly charges him for his workmanship, Xia De paid a lot of money.

"The safe in Old Watson's bedroom, the one in the master bedroom?"

After packing it up, he picked up the suitcase again. Xia De glanced at the door closed by the thorn bushes, and didn't intend to go out from there.

Scarlet butterflies flew out all over his body, until his whole body scattered into a group of red butterflies.

The group of red butterflies held the suitcase, flew out of the window without glass, and flew towards the direction of the master bedroom against the wall in the snowstorm of the night.

But the strange thing is that the master bedroom on the third floor of the manor not only has glass, but the completely black glass has the function of preventing intrusion. that window.

Maybe the glass can be smashed directly with strong force, but Xia De is sure that if he does this, he may have to face the impact of monsters from the entire manor at the same time.

"It seems that we still have to enter through the main entrance."

So the glowing red butterflies once again held the suitcase and flew in the snow against the outer wall of the mansion.However, Xia De did not fly back to his guest room just now, but continued to move forward, and flew into the next window without glass.

This room is significantly larger than the guest room and has its own bathroom and dressing room.And unlike the guest room with spider webs everywhere, this room looked barely livable.

In addition to gas lamps in the room, there is also a dim gas table lamp to illuminate the table area.After Xia De flew into the room in the dark and changed back to human form, he was surprised at the environment in the room and thought there was no one here, but then he heard a slight snoring sound.
