Chapter 1413: The Moon of the Moonless Night
The body split in two fell heavily into the snow, but thick black mud flowed out from the huge wound, re-aggregating the two halves of the body. Even so, Stone Osenfort still didn't die, but he was completely unable to move.
The sound of Xia De walking over, panting, reached the ears of the man lying on the snow. His eyes on the left and right looked at the night sky illuminated red by the fire; he heard the rhythmic sound of boot soles crushing the snow layer, and then felt a few pages of paper fall beside him.
"I have already learned the whole story of you and Lady Haila Osenfort. I really want to know if you have ever thought about solving the problem in other ways."
Xia De held the long sword and looked down at him: "Perhaps this tragedy could have been solved from the beginning." "You won; you can kill me, but you cannot mock me."
Osenfort couldn't move, and could only grit his teeth to stabilize his voice while feeling boundless pain. He still didn't look at Xia De, but watched the snowflakes falling:
"Aren't you very busy? Why are you still talking nonsense with me?" "I am not mocking you, and this is not a waste of time. Remember? The wedding we attended together, the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Enriques, the time the ghost of the bride's lover during her studies came looking for them."
Xia De asked. "Of course I remember."
"Do you know the ending of that marriage story? Where does a marriage that starts with betrayal lead?"
Xia De asked again.
Osenfort didn't speak, and Xia De controlled the letters Mr. Enriques wrote to his wife, letting them float in front of him:
"But I know. After the shameful betrayal, Mr. and Mrs. Enriques still loved each other deeply. Perhaps this sounds ridiculous, but after repeated torment and thinking, Mr. Enriques decided to continue maintaining that marriage. To describe it in simpler terms—"
The white smoke when Xia De spoke drifted like a long dragon; he looked at the man on the ground with sharp eyes, not caring even if snowflakes covered his shoulders. Xia De lit up the moonlight at his fingertips to illuminate Osenfort, and also gave him enough time to read the contents of those letters:
"The mistakes before marriage were forgiven after marriage. The marriage that was on the verge of breaking was finally mended."
At this moment, even though the pain was unbearable, Osenfort couldn't help but curse:
"You idiot, are you hinting that Haila and I also have the possibility of reconciliation? The Enriques couple only cheated before marriage, and that woman didn't sleep with anyone else, while I have already killed my wife's whole family. Do you really think this has any comparability?"
"But according to the facts I know."
Xia De maintained the moonlight with his left hand, and the long sword in his right hand pointed at his heart; he was signaling Lady Haila upstairs:
"Your wife also had secrets she hid from you in the matter of the destruction of the Watson family. If you communicated seriously, perhaps, it really might have been possible not to reach the current point."
When saying this sentence, Xia De himself didn't notice that his eyes were amazingly bright. "What?"
The moonlight at Xia De's fingertips illuminated Osenfort's wide-eyed expression and astonished look:
"What do you mean?" "You once had a chance."
He wanted to say something more, but Xia De had already plunged the long sword in his right hand into his heart.
【Killing someone is not enough; you have to punish their heart.】
In the wind that was still biting at the end of winter, only "her" laughter remained so gentle.
For ordinary people, a long sword piercing the heart would almost immediately cause death, but Osenfort, who fell to the ground, even until now, still grabbed the sword with one hand, spitting blood while looking at Xia De, and only then died here with wide eyes.
He did indeed die; even though the corpse on the ground was still trying to self-heal, Xia De clearly saw Stone Osenfort's soul float out of the corpse on the ground.
The soul full of resentment and unwillingness looked at its transparent hands in a daze, and then
looked up at Xia De, revealing an expression of wanting to strangle Xia De.
Xia De immediately touched the Luo De card deck in his pocket with his left hand, but before he could take out the deck, the sound of clapping came from the door of the manor.
Xia De and Osenfort's soul looked there together, and then in the background of fire and flying snow, they saw the "Osenfort" with dark skin and a slick smile on his face walk in from the burning forest, stepping on the snow.
The demon smiled and looked at the two: "Not bad, not bad, really not bad." This sentence was said to Xia De:
"Although the process was a bit tortuous, you did indeed complete my commission. Not bad."
Xia De didn't withdraw the long sword, but touched the bottle containing the "Golden Potion" with his hand that was put into his pocket. This was a magic potion made by Priest Ao Gu Si, and there were only two bottles in total. When he first met the demon in front of the Watson manor, Xia De had used one.
And at this time, he didn't call Lady Marilyn Hendel immediately, because it was best not to let her meet the demon. He didn't call Doctor Shi Nai De because the test given to Xia De by the "Goddess of the Lake" was not completed.
He let out a long sigh, seeing the traces left by the fight just now scattered in the courtyard. The millstone was slashed in two right under his feet, so Xia De, feeling a little tired, simply sat down. And the demon, seeing that Xia De had no intention of resisting or turning against him, had an even thicker smile on his face.
In the distant mountains, the roar of giant beasts came at this time. Except for the area around the Osenfort manor, looking into the distance at the snowy night sky, more burning smoke was drifting into the high sky. The filth of the earth was spreading on this land, and the essence of madness was trying to pollute the whole world, and the story of this night had only just begun.
"I think our agreement has also been reached; your soul belongs to me."
After praising Xia De, the demon said to Osenfort on the side with a smile, and the latter asked in a daze:
"What?"
He subconsciously looked up at the sky, and then said very firmly:
"Wait, I don't think our contract is complete. If you want to reclaim my soul, you have to satisfy the conditions I set..."
"When power that does not belong to me kills you on a moonless night, beside the moon, your soul can belong to me."
The demon said calmly, and this calmness carried expectation. He walked through the snow to the two, and sat on the other half of the millstone. His legs were spread, his body leaned forward slightly, but his eyes were always looking at the two.
Unlike Xia De, when he spoke, there was no white smoke in his mouth:
"A very harsh condition, fortunately I found the moon." Osenfort was still puzzled: "Where is the moon?" "Please allow me to introduce it to you." So the demon smiled and looked at Xia De:
"This one, the God's Chosen of the Moon God. In the current era where the gods have left, none of the five orthodox gods have involved the moon domain, and the 'Moon Chapter' in the Whispering Great Movement has not yet begun, he can be called the only moon in the material world... perhaps the God Caller can also, but unfortunately I haven't seen him."
Osenfort's soul looked at Xia De in a daze, and the demon asked Xia De:
"Then do you agree with my opinion?" Xia De looked at it, and after hesitating for a moment, he still nodded gently.
"No, you are playing tricks; what kind of moon is this? No, I don't admit it!"
Osenfort said while retreating. When the soul looked at his split corpse, he suddenly drilled into it. Then, the corpse that died with wide eyes actually moved.
【Not resurrection, a living dead.】 "She" reminded softly.
On the demon's face, which was exactly the same as Osenfort's, there was still a smile, but Xia De instinctively felt the change in its emotions:
"You thought it was easy for me to find this person and then let you meet him? I originally planned to wait for the Chosen One of the Moon to appear before starting my plan. How many guys do you think there are in the material world who meet the conditions?"
Xia De understood now why Luweiya mentioned that the first Chosen One she met was the Chosen One of the "Moon".
The demon opened his left hand toward Osenfort who had just climbed up from the ground, and the latter's feet buried in the snow immediately began to petrify. The demon's hand seemed to be dancing in the air, and petrified rose vines drilled out from the ground, gradually wanting to swallow Osenfort's entire body along the petrified body.
It stood up with a smile:
"Since you signed a contract with a demon, you should have thought that there would be such a day. However, I didn't expect you to question the content of the contract. Oh, Osenfort, did you think I was a stupid peer in a fairy tale?"
It stood up and walked slowly toward the desperate man, wanting to touch his head that was not yet petrified with its right hand. But it didn't succeed, because a long sword blocked in front of it, and Xia De, who also stood up, looked at it expressionlessly:
"What about the reward you promised me? We pay with one hand and deliver with the other."
The demon also looked at him slightly frivolously, looking him up and down:
"I didn't expect you to be so impatient, but no problem, you did this quite well. Perhaps there will be a chance in the future, and we can cooperate again. After all, guys who dare to sign contracts with me usually like to play some little tricks, and your work efficiency makes me very satisfied."
Leaving the living dead, whose head was the only part not petrified, standing in the snow, it turned to look at Xia De and snapped its fingers. Six items slowly appeared in the air:
Fire, ring, blood-red stone, red wine bottle, black sheepskin book with a skull embedded, and a small note:
"According to the agreement, choose one of six. Let me introduce them to you." In the flying snow, six items rotated around it, first the red flame:
"First: Sage-level relic 【Undying Fire】, its only characteristic is that it never goes out. This flame can be wrapped around one's own Life Ring by a Ringed Shushi, thereby causing almost all strange arts to change. Among the relics rated as Sage-level by intelligent life, this can also be considered the most valuable one."
Xia De had already felt the Primal Fire in his body restless; it craved this flame. The recent transcoding is serious, let us have more motivation, update faster, please move your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you ===== CHAPTER 1414 =====
