Whispering Poems

Chapter 1734 Love and Desire

"Huh? How could there be a woman who is more beautiful than the Great Witch?"

There was a sudden vigilance in my heart, and then the feeling of being charmed disappeared in an instant.Xia De stood up at once, and couldn't believe that his mental resistance was so high, and he had so many anti-charm blessings, that he was actually charmed by an oil painting that had no elemental response.

He knew that he must never look at that painting again, but his eyes subconsciously swept over again, and then felt that although the face shape, hair color and eye color were very different, the underwater woman in the painting possessed the temperament of extreme beauty , and the unique charm that becomes more and more fascinating the more you look at it, even wishing to kill the current owner and take it as your own, all of a sudden reminded Xia De of something he was familiar with.

"It won't be."

He subconsciously took two steps back. While widening his eyes, he felt that the painting had not changed in any way, but it was becoming more and more attractive to him that he could not resist.Xia De subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and then, the woman with slightly squinted eyes on the screen moved as he thought, turned her head to look at him outside the screen, and then smiled at him with a wink.

At that moment, Xia De felt as if his heart had stopped beating.Part of this was because he was shocked by the charm, and on the other hand, it was because he had already confirmed what the oil painting depicted:
"desire!"

To be more precise, this is what ordinary painters think of as desire.

Cold sweat broke out on Xia De's back, but Mr. Upton didn't seem to see the woman in the painting moving at all, and he was still talking about the inspiration he got from the painting.

It wasn't until this moment that Xia De realized that from just now until now, he had put all his thoughts on that painting, and hadn't heard what Mr. Upton was talking about at all.

And the woman in that painting also returned to a static appearance at this time.It's just that her expression remained the same as when she turned her head to look at Shad, but Mr. Upton still didn't notice this.

He almost finished talking about the inspiration he got from this painting with excitement, and said to Xia De with emotion:
"I was really lucky to get this painting. I think, the painter in those days should have seen the mermaid? I really hope that I can see it too."

"Mr. Upton!"

Xia De interrupted him, and after the corner of his mouth twitched, he made up his mind before asking:
"Do you want to sell this painting?"

But the slovenly man immediately shook his head:

"Absolutely not for sale, not for any amount of money. This is the love of my life, and I will keep it with me until I take it to my grave."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xia De vigilantly:

"I won't tell you where I will be buried in the future."

Xia De pursed his lips, and then glanced at the painting vigilantly. In fact, when he heard words such as "pink book" and "charm", "flesh and blood" and "joy", he should know what happened to him. What.

The portraits of zero-level relics, even if they are just portraits drawn by ordinary people, have extraordinary power.He can already feel the suffocating whisper element now, but he absolutely cannot say the name and information of "desire".

"Okay, okay, this visit is over, you can go."

Mr. Upton seemed to realize that Xia De, who was frowning and thinking at the moment, was "conspiring to do something wrong", so he forcibly drove Xia De to the corridor of the hotel, and closed the door in front of Xia De.Xia De raised his hand and wanted to knock on the door, but finally put his hand down:

"It's really troublesome now."

Although "Desire" has always treated him fairly well, he will not forget that it is a top-level zero-level relic.Theoretically speaking, apart from the coming of the evil god, it is difficult to have something more dangerous than her in the material world.

If "Desire" really appeared in the Green Lake area because of that painting, Shad couldn't imagine what would happen next.This is definitely not his worry for nothing. The painting has shown signs of activation just now, and the waters of Green Lake are exactly the place where "desire" likes to come:
"It's true now"

He is now a friend of the Fulun brothers in name, and for the sake of the reputation of the Fulun brothers, he can't steal it.In the end, Xia De decided that it would be better to go to the church to report anonymously. There are already three thirteen-ring magicians of the church in the Green Lake Diocese, so this is the safest method at present.

But he didn't do it in the end, because when he went to Ms. Hope's room and handed in the gold pound for the thaumaturgy, and went upstairs to Mr. Richard's to ask for the copy, he got a lot of money. Unexpected news.

Shad did not take the initiative to reveal what he knew in front of Ms. Hope or Mr. Richard, but when Ms. Hope and Shad came to the fourth floor together and the three of them sat down on the sofa, Mr. Richard The gentleman asked curiously:
"Mr. Watson, you don't look very well."

"Mr. Upton's room. I have a very bad feeling."

Mr. Richard frowned, and looked at Ms. Hope cautiously, and the latter asked cautiously;

"He didn't let you see that painting, did he?"

Xia De was startled, and immediately realized that the painting had been in the hands of Mr. Upton for a long time. Since he could show it to Xia De, a new acquaintance, it was impossible not to show it to others.And the two Eros believers in front of them obviously knew something.

"Yes."

Xia De nodded, tentatively said:

"That painting is very strange."

While the other two were watching his expression, he was watching theirs too:

"It's a beautiful woman like a mermaid."

Mr. Richard suddenly tightened his grip on the armrest of the sofa, and Ms. Hope's brows tightened even more:
"Did you see anything else?"

The two of them looked like they were worried about Xia De's violent attack.

Shad shook his head:
"No."

The believers of Cupid breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard Xia De's next sentence:

"I looked away in time. Because of that thing, it reminded me of the information of a relic I saw before. I can't believe my judgment is correct, after all, the danger level of that relic is very high."

Three pairs of eyes stared at each other, all of them were nervous and wary.

"May I ask what relic it is?"

asked Mr. Richard, taking a deep breath and not even daring to let it out.

"Don't say the name!"

Seeing that Xia De was about to open his mouth, Ms. Hope suddenly reminded her, her voice became quite thin, but she didn't care about her gaffe at all.

Xia De nodded, raised his hand, and gestured for the number "0".

Mr. Richard raised his hand to cover his eyes, and then let out the suffocated breath, while Ms. Hope shivered, closed her eyes and prayed to the gods.

"So, you know it too?"

Shad asked, and found his palms were sweating.After a long time, the other two gave the answer:

"Yes, of course I know. That thing is the biggest enemy of our sect before it disappears."

"what?"

"Before my lord left, I must take good care of its seal. Yes, my lord, the old god - [God of Love], or known as [The Lock of Heart] once sealed it in the Fifth Epoch .But in the late Fifth Era, after the church gradually collapsed, it still escaped. How could we not know who was painted in that painting?"

Xia De leaned back on the back of the sofa, his eyes widened, and his heart beat faster.

But it's definitely not because of nervousness or fear, but because of excitement.Information about [Desire] has always been difficult to find, even the ancient [Spiritual Order] only recorded a few words.

And now, the opportunity to learn more about that 0-level relic that always appeared beside him finally appeared.

It was also the first time for Mr. Richard and Ms. Hope to meet someone who also knew the information about the relic, so seeing that it was noon, they invited Shad to have lunch together.

But they didn't dare to eat at the hotel, but went to a restaurant two blocks away.Because he was afraid of the painting, after eating, he rode in a carriage for a long time in a direction away from the city center and away from the water, and finally came to the tavern in Little Litton Village, a northern suburb of Mikaela Blast Furnace City, which is attached to the city.

Spring is the busiest season for farmers, and it is the afternoon after lunch, so there are very few people in the tavern in the small village.The three of them sat down in the corner, and the believers of Cupid sat opposite Shad. They waited until the bartender brought the drinks and put them on the table before they started talking.

"Since you know it, there's no reason why Mr. Upton shouldn't. Why did he keep the painting instead of destroying it right away?"

This is the question that Xia De is most concerned about. Old Mr. Richard shook his head:

"Of course Upton knew about the thing, but he was obsessed. You know what I mean, he was in it. It wasn't that he was weak-willed, it was the thing. We couldn't separate him from the painting , and can’t even tell other people about it. The information of that thing itself is a source of pollution, all we can do is keep trying to wake Upton up. Fortunately, that painting is what an unknown artist saw.”

He almost said that word, shut his mouth immediately, and looked around nervously.

Ms. Hope helped him finish the sentence:

"That painting is something that is reflected in other people's hearts, and Upton has always been devout, so there is still salvation. You can see him as normal now, but his personality is a little weird, but in fact, a year ago, he I have been looking at the painting in the room all day, and I am on the verge of losing control. I even took the initiative to throw the painting into the lake. His condition is much better now, and we believe that in half a year, we will be able to try to ask him Lend 'out that painting."

Xia De nodded in understanding:

"But this is still dangerous. The longer the delay, the more likely something will go wrong. That painting may attract it, which is almost certain."
