rose nursery rhyme

The sacrificial activities in the exiled land are quite grand.

Although it is deep underground, this place has a long history, and the settlements are not as loose as on the ground. The advantage of the superior number of people is that there will be no shortage of resources. Everyone attaches great importance to the once-a-year festival.

Besides, there are not many underground entertainment activities. Although you can hide your features and play on the ground, it is not your hometown after all, and there is still a difference in the hearts of the 'wanderers'.

Their ancestors were people who were forced to leave the surface, and the surface was not a home for them.

Xidi and Bryce lived here for two days, and did nothing else, just wandered around, waiting for the sacrifice to begin.

Both of them were leisurely, and only Kerry was in a hurry. After he asked Brice that day, he didn't continue.

It's not that Kerry suspects Brice, it's just that this kind of life has passed for too long, and it's really unbearable, and he doesn't want to bear it for a day.

One more day of waiting is one more day of trouble—and you can’t stop making money, you still have to sit at the door every night, counting gold coins with a sad face.

It looked really miserable.

Xidi looked down through the window. From his angle, he could just see the goblin's bald green head: "Can you really save him?"

Bryce is carefully cleaning a small wooden handicraft with water magic: "Of course. You don't believe me?"

Xidi retracted her head, tilted her head and said, "No."

He was always exhausted in the past two days, so he didn't like to stand properly, so he left from the edge of the window sill, took two steps back and fell on his back on the soft bed, his waist sunk in the mattress: "Let me ask you a few questions. "

Brace: "You ask."

Sidi lay on the bed and looked up at him: "The demon is dead, what should the goblin do? His lifespan was given by the demon."

If we only talk about natural age, Kerry should have died long ago. It is the contract between Mammon and him that continues his life day by day. What will happen to Kerry after the contract is terminated?

Brice went to Sidi and sat down: "The devil's contract is against nature and is not recognized by the laws of nature. He essentially freezes Mr. Kerry's time. When the contract is broken, he will automatically kill the person who violated the contract." die."

Just from the very beginning, no one can escape from this death game.

It is completely an unequal treaty against one side.

Bryce: "As long as the contract is terminated, the time on his body will start to flow again, but it will return to normal."

This plan has been discussed with Kerry in advance and has been agreed by Kerry.

It seems that the goblin's answer is that it is better to live happily in this life than to be tortured every day.

Besides, the lifespan of a goblin is 80 years. Counting from the day when he was cursed, Kerry still has at least 50 years to live. He may not last that long just because he asks Mammon himself.

After all the calculations, it was Kerry who made the money in the end. The goblin was so smart, so of course he would agree.

Sidi: "Oh."

He turned over and played with Brice's hair sideways, wrapped the smooth hair around his fingertips, and pulled it down gently.

Sidi: "What does a demon look like?"

Following his strength, Bryce bent down, hung over the child's body, lifted Sidi's chin with his knuckles and looked at it, but he didn't see the golden color representing excitement in the child's eyes, so he kissed him as a reward .

After a long time, I was finally willing to answer the question: "Demons are not a form of life. If I have to say it, they are like a kind of...a collection of malicious things."

Xi Di blinked and understood: "Dirty things."

Bryce: "It can be understood in this way."

Sidi: "So what are you going to do?"

The mainland is quite peaceful, and things like demons rarely appear directly in the sun, let alone provoke them. Counting and counting, the most challenging enemy the two of them have encountered along the way is actually a The shadow-infested mutated dead birds that I started to meet in the small town.

And those birds were finally dealt with by Sidi.

Demons are not living creatures, and it is difficult to kill them directly with simple methods. There are ways, but all of them are time-consuming, laborious, and earth-shattering. They are just passing by, and there is no need to make it known to everyone.

It's also because Bryce doesn't want to waste too much time with Xi Di to deal with those irrelevant things.

Mammon is a big devil, in layman's terms, it is an extraordinarily large mess of dirt, and it is not easy to deal with.

Brace showed Siddie the little artifact he'd been cleaning.

It seemed to be a miniature wicker figure, a very careless figure made of branches, tied with straw ropes at the head and tail, with a hollow in the middle, with a bell stuffed in it, and it rattled when it was shaken.

It was a wicker figure wind chime that Brice bought casually when he went out to play with his children.

Sidi: "What's this?"

Brace: "Stand-in."

Xidi didn't understand: "Whose substitute?"

Brace: "Mine."

Xi Di: "..."

Sidi immediately stood in awe, sat up and took the little wicker man in his hand, observed it carefully for a while, then returned it to Bryce, and concluded: "It doesn't look like you at all."

Of course not, this villain doesn't even have facial features, and crudely made things are not as vivid as a scarecrow.

Bryce: "As long as the devil thinks it looks like it."

Xi Di suddenly realized: "Evils don't even have eyes?"

Bryce smiled.

Xi Di was very dissatisfied with his mysterious attitude, and lazily kicked him: "Speak up."

Brice clasped his ankles, pulled the child down, pulled the child into his arms and hugged him, and praised very far from the truth: "You are so cute."

He seems to be clingy a lot lately, and he knew how to restrain himself before, but now he can't wait to cling to Xidi all the time, wrap Xidi in his arms airtightly when he talks, and kiss his soft ear tips.

It wasn't until Sheedy started grinding his teeth with his fingers that he went on to explain, "Do you know what demons feed on?"

Siddie: "He eats gold?"

After all, he is the big devil in charge of money.

Bryce: "It's emotions... put on Mammon, it's 'greed' and 'despair'."

Demons eat souls, or rather, their favorite parts of the soul.

Since they were born with malice, and what they like is particularly tasteless, the more desperate their prey are, the more popular they are with demons.

For him, Mammon's 'contract' is just a means of processing food.

Unfortunately, all the emotions in this world are controlled by Bryce, and the actions of the devil cannot be hidden from him. The only difference is that he was not interested in managing it before, but recently he suddenly had a reason, so he just managed it.

Bryce: "The contract itself acts directly on the soul. If Mammon dies, Mr. Kerry will die with him, so no matter what, they must first cancel the contract."

Xidi listened with great interest: "How to undo it?"

Bryce: "...let Kree pay him a tribute."

There are three more days, and it is the day when the exiled land sacrifices the wicker man to the abyss.

…………

The demon Mammon has a sense of ritual.

Realizing that the prey violated the contract, he could kill them anywhere with a finger, but he had to travel thousands of miles to come to the prey and announce to them that today is the day of your death.

Seriously, it's not a thing.

However, he has a prey that has been fighting against his overlord clause for more than 100 years.

That goblin is the most tenacious one. Not only is his money-making ability top-notch, but he also has a good plan. He only earns one more silver coin a day and never asks for a penny more. More than 100 years of life were taken from him.

Mammon was not satisfied with this.

This is obviously an offense to the dignity of the Great Demon.

Because of this, when he realized that the contract he made was touched, he didn't think about anything, and immediately came to the ground, and the black mist rolled up, and he stood in front of the green-skinned goblin.

The goblin was counting the money apprehensively, with two piles of gold coins and a small pile of silver coins in front of him.

Kerry: "410 eight, 410 nine..."

Mammon: "Don't count, the quantity is not enough, five gold coins short."

The demon appeared silently, and Kerry was startled. He leaned back suddenly, and the back of his head hit the door frame, making a loud noise.

The arch-demon looked down at the goblin's loose-faced face from above, with a kind of malevolent joy emanating from the inside out.

The goblin seemed to be terrified, tremblingly rolled up all the gold coins on the ground, held them up in front of Mammon, and begged: "Dedicated to you... all these are dedicated to you, today is really, really impossible... Please forgive me..."

Mammon doesn't want gold, he only wants the goblin's soul now.

Besides, when the goblin is dead, all these things--don't they all belong to him?

He then smiled viciously and said, "You know what we agreed on. A contract is a contract. It doesn't matter if you miss it by a day or even a gold coin. If you violated the contract, you must dedicate your soul to me according to the agreement."

The devil’s voice was rough and hoarse, like sandpaper scraping rust. It was not the first time that Kerry saw his original form, and he still didn’t dare to lift his head. There was a little trembling in his voice: “I, I can still dedicate to you Sacrifice, no matter what you want, I will find it for you..."

Mammon sneered, "What can you find?"

"Guest!" Kerry seemed to be desperate, his voice suddenly increased, and he interrupted Mammon eagerly, "I will, I will dedicate the life of the guest to you, please let me go..."

Mammon dismissed the offer.

He himself feeds on souls, what kind of life has he not seen?

It's just a dying struggle.

However, when he saw the direction that Kerry was pointing at, Mammon froze in place.

There were two people sitting on the seat, one of them was a little taller with long hair, his back was facing them, and the figure of the other was completely covered.

But Mammon has no time to take care of so much, he can only see the back, and see the chaos, darkness, paranoia that ignores everything, and unspeakable distortions contained in it.

How can it appear on one person at the same time?

That is an irresistible temptation for any devil.

Mammon originally wanted to laugh at Kerry's words, but suddenly stopped.

Demons are not unlimited in their ability to kill.

If they could snatch the souls they fancy at will, wouldn't the world be in chaos?Therefore, they have conditions for using their abilities, either like Mammon, using the weakness of human nature to sign a contract with people, or...

It is to accept the sacrifices of believers.

Kerry is very firm: "I will sacrifice him to you, and I am willing to become your believer... As long as you can let me go and break the contract with me, I am willing to do anything."

Mammon was silent on top of his head for a while: "...I will come to you again at night."

Now is obviously not a good time to talk.

As for the contract...

Leave him alone for the time being.

Kerry breathed a sigh of relief, his shoulders slumped, his head was still lowered: "...Thank you for your generosity."

Mammon didn't bother to look at him anymore, his body spread out in mid-air like a puff of smoke, and he disappeared silently again.

Seeing from a distance, Xi Di commented: "He looks a bit like a bat."

Brice didn't turn his head back, he held onto his wrist, and he didn't let go until Mammon's figure disappeared completely, and echoed, "Well, it's a little bit."

Sidi rubbed her wrist with the red mark, and stared at him dissatisfied.

Bryce smiled at him calmly.
