Whispering Poems

Chapter 1455 Broken Heart
"Someone asked me to stall for time here so that you don't leave too early, so you'd better talk to me again."

As Oxenfurt said, Shad suddenly realized:
"I understand when you say that, but what does this have to do with me? Do you have anything else to say? Forget it, whatever you want to say, I don't want to hear it. Are you ready to start fighting? Or, do you think Fight outside?"

"You are really impatient."

Oxenfurt said that Shad can't control so much:

"You don't think you can stop me with the two lower-level demons behind you, do you?"

"We've traded so many times, why don't we trade again?"

As Stone Oxenfurt said, he took out his pocket watch and glanced at it:
"It's nine o'clock in the evening, stay here and talk to me for another half an hour."

"Although the time is not very long, what if I say no?"

Shad shook his head.

"You still have a lot of things you don't know, don't you want to continue listening to the story? Also, don't you wonder why I became a ring warlock? This is related to the three items I asked you to find. If you kill me now, These secrets will probably be buried forever.”

"Sorry, none of this matters to me, time is the most important thing"

But after saying this, seeing the butler and maid behind Oxenfurt, and thinking of the more information about the devil promised by the other party, Xia De hesitated and changed his words:

"However, I do have a request. Tell me, your method of summoning demons, where are Captain Woody's demon materials? Also, I want you to release these two low-level demons and give them freedom."

These are actually two conditions, and it is not at all awkward to put them together, so Xia De is not afraid of being known by the other party about his true purpose.

"If so, no problem."

Sure enough, the man at the door said:

"The materials for summoning demons are in my stone carving studio. In the safe behind the cabinet on the right, you can find them when you open them. As for them."

He turned to look at his silent butler and maid:

"This is also part of my story. After summoning the stone mirror, I regretted for a while that I signed a contract with the devil so easily. Humans always have their own ideas, so I have more Bold idea."

"In order to resist your own demons, do you want to summon another demon?"

Xia De said with a mocking tone, pulled the chair in the newlywed bedroom and sat down:
"It's hard for me to understand your thoughts."

"People always say that peers are the biggest enemy. As a pirate, I agree with this view, so I thought of using demons to deal with demons."

Oxenfurt said, looking at Shad again:

"It's interesting that I tried to summon the mirror's counterparts according to the parchment, but I summoned them. They...to be honest, not very strong, but as a housekeeper and a maid, they are still very powerful. Not bad. When I'm not at home, they take care of the manor, take care of Haila, and drive out some guys with brain problems and bury them in the backyard. But now."

He shook his head:
"After tonight, my life will change in a big way anyway. So, although I'm not a person who apologizes very much, I still want to say thank you. I haven't paid wages in these years, but you know my wealth is Take it wherever you want—you are free."

The old butler and the maid nodded to Shad at the same time, and then they turned into two black smoke, flew over Oxenfurt's shoulders into the room, then smashed open the door leading to the small terrace, and flew towards the flying snowflakes. night sky.

"So you can rest assured? Your opponent is only me now."

The owner of the manor opened his arms and entered his newly married bedroom.Xia De knew that he was short of time, but there were some things that needed to be clarified. The matter between Oxenfurt and the demon was very complicated, and it could not be ended by winning a battle:

"I'll only give you half an hour. After half an hour, I won't listen to a single word you say."

"No problem, my friend, I will listen to you."

He crossed his hips and looked at the indoor environment:

"I really miss it. I was really young back then. I will never forget that winter night when I got married."

"When did Haila Oxenfurt die?"

Shad asked.

The expression on the manor owner's face became a little sad, but it was only for a moment:

"The night that this vision represents."

"The night you got married two years ago?"

Xia De raised his eyebrows:
"You killed your own wife?"

"Don't be silly, you know my story so well, do you think it is possible for me to do this kind of thing? I would rather kill myself than kill her. For her, I am willing to pay any price, including my life .I love her, always have loved her."

Oxenfurt looked at the phantom and corpse on the bed, and his feeling for the illusion picture that appeared at this moment was much deeper than Shad:
"Haila, died before the dawn of the wedding night. We kept this posture all night: I stood in front of the window and looked out, she was lying on the bed, because of the news that the biao at the wedding gave her. Crying. Then, before the first rays of dawn lit my face, she stopped breathing."

Both Shad and Oxenfurt were silent, and after half a minute, Shad asked:
"I'm sure there were no wounds or signs of self-harm on the body. So, to put it mildly, she's because of"

"Heartbroken and died. And my heart, also died at that moment."

"Since Madam Haila passed away two years ago, who did I meet in 1854? You resurrected her?"

"I don't have this ability, but it does. Coincidentally, it wants to add some content to our contract, so it has the current full version of the contract."

"Resurrection clearly comes at a price."

Shad said softly, while Oxenfurt shook his head. Even now, he is unwilling to talk to Shad about the details of the contract:
"I know you hate me very much, and sometimes I hate myself, but there is no way, this is life. My life changed the day I met Haila, and the eyes of the gods may be on that day. It focused on me. I tried to leave the fleet, redeemed the family manor, and became a big businessman. But all of this is false.”

He grabbed the air with his hand:
"You are curious, why did this place fall into such a state overnight? In fact, this is the real appearance of this manor. It is too old, too old, and it shouldn't exist anymore. And I , let it use its strength to maintain the surface of this place, and now it senses my thoughts of resistance, and its power is gradually stripped from this manor, and this place has returned to its original state."

"You shouldn't leave things that should go."

Xia De looked at the woman on the bed.

"You don't have to hint with words, I know what I want to do."

Oxenfurt smiled, folded his hands on his chest, and leaned against the wall next to the door, while Xia De was still sitting sideways on the chair pulled out in front of the table.

"I know exactly what the devil wants to do, so when I signed that contract, I tried my best to avoid being 'collected' by the devil. It's not easy, but thanks to you."

His hand slid a few times in the air, and the light danced with it.This is the basic spell "Light Spell". Although it is basic, it also represents the identity of a ring warlock:

"After getting in touch with the mystery, there are only two outcomes. Either go crazy, like the people in the fables; or discover the talent and become a ring magician, just like you and most ring magicians. And I am obviously an accident, I do have something special talent, but after signing a contract with it, the power of the contract binds my soul, and I cannot become a ring magician."

Shad thought for a moment:
"So, the three items you want me to find are related to your current becoming a Ring Warlock?"

Oxenfurt nodded:
"In the contract between me and it, there is a supplementary clause, which is a bet. The complete content of the bet is as follows: the 'wedding ring' representing my marriage, the 'medal' representing my family's honor, representing my love The 'sapphire earrings' are hidden in this city. These three parts represent the things I cherish the most, and represent a part of my soul. Only by finding them can my soul be complete, and the devil will Unchain me, and make me a Ring Warlock."

When it comes to this, Oxenfurt's tone becomes light:

"So, although you hate me very much, I am very happy to meet you. The devil gave me the fate of never getting those items, but fortunately you have shown the power to overcome fate."

"Can I see the life ring?"

Xia Dehu suggested, and Stone Oxenfurt nodded:
"of course."

In the thick steam mist, along with the siren and bell, the brass rings slowly emerged.Like Xia De, there are two core spirit runes, Enlightenment [Heart] and Enlightenment [Stone]. This is not unexpected.

Because it has only been two days since he became a ring warlock, his first life ring currently only has the silver blasphemy rune [Demon].

"After you came into contact with demons, you should have learned a lot of occult knowledge yourself?"

Xia De asked again.

"Yes, and I don't worry about going crazy at all. Even sometimes, I wish I would go crazy."

"I don't understand. Since you understand occultism, why did you summon a butler and a maid when you summoned the demon to deal with it again?"

Oxenfurt looked at Shad with strange eyes:

"I must first make sure that we are talking about summoning demons. You don't think those ancient evil spirits are kind people, do you? As long as I make a wish, I can get a corresponding response? I really want to find and deal with it. The demon itself is a demon, but it is a pity that although there are two summoned this time, they have no power."

The two demons being talked about have now turned into black smoke and flew away.If they left like this, Shad would not be able to find them again.
