Chapter 1392: Justice and Distortion

~10 min read 1,991 words

Xia De pushed the door directly and entered the stable. The horses, which had been neighing uneasily because of the noise, immediately calmed down because of the smell on Xia De.

The scene where the horses calmed down as soon as Xia De walked in made both people who were confronting each other look at the door in surprise.

The thin moonlight could only illuminate a small area at the door of the stable, and the kerosene lamp hanging on the wall could not illuminate the shadow on Xia De's face. Boots stepped on the hay spread on the ground, and Xia De casually placed the wine glass on the stone railing of a stable on the side:

"Is it too impolite to kill someone here?" "It's you again?"

Stone Osenfort looked at him in surprise:

"How come I feel like I can run into you wherever I go? Didn't I send a servant to tell you that we agreed to meet tomorrow?" "Yes, meet tomorrow, so what are you doing?"

Xia De looked at the fat man on the ground who wanted to call for help from him. Osenfort kicked the fat man disgustedly with his boots, and the latter let out a scream on the ground while covering his arm:

"I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"

"John Watson, since you have always claimed to be righteous, don't meddle in this matter."

Xia De didn't have a sudden attack of righteousness and had to stop the other party's behavior, but asked:

"I am very interested in the grudge between you and him. Let me guess... he owed you tens of thousands of crowns but didn't pay it back, and then was discovered by you gambling Luo De cards in a casino? Or, he stole your things?"

"Neither."

Osenfort kicked the man on the ground again, and the latter sobbed and dared not move towards Xia De's direction anymore: "You know, I have a group of quite good friends."

"Subordinates." Xia De corrected.

"If you want to hear a story, shut your mouth."

Osenfort said in a low voice. Because he was facing away from the only kerosene lamp in the stable, his whole body and face were in the shadows, and the pitchfork in his hand had not been put down:

"He hurt the sister of a friend of mine, used the debt trap of Luo De cards to force others to sell themselves to pay off the debt. In other words, this is legal usury. My friend didn't ask me for help at first, I only found out about this recently."

"When did you become so righteous?"

Xia De asked suspiciously.

"Righteousness? According to your statement, if the family of my subordinates is hurt by others, and I don't care, then how can I do business in the Randall Valley? This bastard has been hiding from me for the past few weeks, but I know he will definitely come to this banquet. He wants to suck up to those nobles. Look, didn't I catch him?"

After saying this, he turned his head to look at Xia De:

"Why, do you want to stop me?"

"I generally don't meddle in such things that have nothing to do with me and where neither side is a good person. Once I get involved, no matter who I help, I will become the same as you."

"But not saving me is equivalent to helping Osen... Oh!"

The fat man on the ground was kicked again. This time, his stomach was kicked hard. He hunched over and trembled on the ground, looking like he couldn't speak anymore.

"I am very curious, according to your morality and righteousness, how do you judge what I am about to do?" Osenfort raised the pitchfork. This kind of weapon was hard to see, but it was quite dangerous in close combat. "Judge?"

Xia De thought for a moment:

"If what you just said is true, then he must have done bad things. And doing legal usury, since he did it once, he definitely wouldn't be doing it for the first time. So theoretically, he deserves to die. However..."

Xia De looked at this scene.

"You want to say, let the law punish him?" Osenfort sneered.

"I wouldn't say that. After all, I have done many illegal things myself.

I mean, even if you want to kill him, don't do it in someone else's manor. Even if you kill him and turn him into a stone and bury him in your garden, it's impossible not to leave any traces. And once discovered by others, someone died here tonight, Prince William

and Princess Margaret will probably have a headache."

"Bury in the garden... Hela, even this kind of thing told you?"

Osenfort squinted at Xia De, as if wanting to see something from his appearance, but Xia De raised his eyebrows: "This is not the point."

"The point is, you don't want me to kill him here?" Xia De thought for a moment:

"Can be understood this way."

"I thought you would rather fight me to the death than save him."

Osenfort said, and then dropped the pitchfork in his hand. Because the ground was covered with hay, the sound of the fork landing was not loud.

The fat man on the ground thought he had escaped this life-threatening danger, but the next second, as Osenfort's boots stepped on his palm, in a scream like a pig being slaughtered, the fat man's palm petrified first, and then the petrification spread rapidly along the palm, until he turned into a stone.

"I remember, your hobby is sculpture? When I went to your house to get the statue we agreed on, I saw the statue you were making in your studio."

Xia De picked up his wine glass and said, his eyes looking at the stone statue on the ground.

"You mean that one, I smashed it. I am always dissatisfied with my works, so I always smash them and remake them." Osenfort said, bending down to press the forehead of the statue, and then ripples appeared on the ground until the stone statue was completely swallowed into the earth.

"This method is really good. When you go home, you should be able to take it out directly from the mud, right?" Xia De asked again suddenly:

"If I remember correctly, the word 'Stone' sounds very similar to 'Stone' in the local dialect of the Randall Valley. I am very curious why you use this name."

"For this point, you should go and ask the ghost, not me... It also praised my name."

Saying this, he stood up and prepared to leave. Xia De stood still. It was not until Osenfort was about to walk out of the stable that he asked suddenly:

"You have done so many things and have so many enemies. Don't you believe that one day, you will be retaliated against?"

Osenfort twisted his upper body to look at him:

"You probably forgot, I am immortal. Although I am not a Ringed Ringed Shushi, I am not an ordinary person either." "But you can still feel pain."

Xia De pointed out:

"Last time I attended the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Enriques with you, when we were dueling under the dead tree on the top of the hill, I saw it very clearly. You are not unable to feel pain. You can enjoy any kind of pleasure, can appreciate the feeling of a hot heart beating in your chest, but you live every day as if it were the last day. I am very curious, how was this attitude towards life formed."

Osenfort looked at Xia De with a gloomy face:

"Don't forget to come to my manor tomorrow night to take away 【Origin · Earth】."

After saying this, he left. Xia De took another sip of the red wine in his hand, and then felt that there was a smell of horse manure in the wine: "Sure enough, when mentioning the heart, he didn't want to talk more with me. His heart really has a problem."

【Stone Heart?】 "It won't be that simple."

Xia De splashed the remaining red wine in the cup into the feed trough of the stable, and then planned to leave. It's just that he had only taken one step forward when he turned around in surprise and looked at the darkest corner of the stable that he hadn't paid attention to at all.

"You wouldn't have been standing here the whole time, right?"

"No, I know your senses are very keen, it's impossible to try to eavesdrop on your conversation."

Mr. Lasers walked out of the shadows. He even made a sound when walking, because his body was actually solid, not a phantom of a soul.

It's just that this was not a resurrection from the dead, but the sound of his body walking was too "heavy," which meant that the density of his body was far higher than that of a normal person.

"Since you appeared on your own initiative, has the agitation of the earth been appeased?" Xia De asked hesitantly, but Mr. Lasers shook his head slightly:

"No, the situation is more serious. It is expected that at dawn on Saturday, with the north of Randall Valley City as the epicenter, an earthquake no less than three hundred years ago will occur. At that time, the distortion of the earth will enter the fourth stage."

The Guardian once said personally that there are only five stages of earth distortion, and the last stage is an irreversible disaster:

"The sign of the fourth stage: everything that happens in the Randall Valley will happen in any corner of the material world with equal probability. At the same time, serious natural disasters will occur in the Randall Valley area, storms, heavy snow, mudslides... and some ancient monsters will be revived. You can understand it as fossils being given life."

Xia De sighed slightly:

"Dawn on Saturday, ah, it's really a coincidence. I plan to solve that devil on Friday night. After solving the devil, can you come to see me at dawn on Saturday to hold the ritual."

The Guardian neither agreed nor disagreed:

"The one meeting you now is not me, but a mud incarnation. I am now unable to leave the Heart of the Earth. I have to rely on the Heart of the Earth to maintain my own stability, and the Heart of the Earth also needs me to carry out the final maintenance. No one knows that the complete Heart of the Earth was shattered when the ancient gods left. What is left now is the most complete part... The decay of the earth is a destined thing.

However, don't worry, we have made preparations in advance."

"Don't talk to me about these. In other words, after I finish fighting the devil, I still have to go to the Heart of the Earth, find you personally, and wake you up?" Luweiya said, the chosen one ceremony of the earth is best held in a place that can be directly connected to the Heart of the Earth. Then if the ritual is held directly next to the Heart of the Earth, it seems to be the best choice.

The Guardian seemed to see Xia De's meaning:

"The chosen one ceremony must be on the earth. This is the information I got."

Chosen ones, especially the first candidate, always get some news that others don't know:

"Moreover, the situation of the Heart of the Earth is very complicated now. The distortion there is more serious than anywhere else. Even if it is you, you may not be able to reach there." ===== CHAPTER 1393 =====

"Moreover, the situation at the Heart of the Earth is extremely complex right now; the distortion there is more severe than anywhere else. Even you might not necessarily be able to reach it."
