Chapter 1677: The Demon's Hint
The conversation between the cat and the demon finally showed signs of gunpowder, Megan and the brothers were all ready for battle, but the cat and the demon stared at each other for a while, then plucked another hair.
After the cat hair rubbed against Megan's clothes, the silver-white crown of thorns covered with rust fell onto Megan's shoulder. The rich miracle element made Megan and Audrey's weak souls almost see the angels descend for a moment, but those were all fake, and what fell on their shoulders was just a crown of thorns.
Xia De didn't say anything. The "Giant Spirit" was silent for a moment, then nodded to show understanding:
"Since you are so confident, let's solve this matter peacefully. However, unlike last time, last time one wish let you leave, now my strength is stronger, you must make three wishes. Still the wishes of not changing reality, not seeking material things, and not seeking change, this kind of wish, the price I take from you is the least... Speaking of which, your sins are more than last time."
It probably saw "indifference," but Xia De didn't continue this topic:
"What price do you want to take?"
"You are really careful. Not the soul, but the sin, don't you have a lot of it?"
Xia De nodded and looked at the two brothers on the other side of the Giant Spirit:
"Do you have anything you want to ask?"
Xia De just wanted some reference opinions, but the brothers just shook their heads quickly and kept their mouths tightly shut, ensuring they wouldn't make any sound.
"Medicine..."
Wanted to say "Miss Pharmacist," then thought of the role-playing relationship between the two:
"Sister, do you want to ask anything?"
Although Megan and Audrey were both older than him, he wasn't willing to pretend to be the younger one.
Megan was indeed surprised by this address, but answered:
"Listen to you."
"That's good, first wish: I want to know, your appearance here, is it related to the island over there?"
The cat's claws pointed in the direction of the central island, and the Giant Spirit nodded:
"It's related. The diviner on the island discovered me, and then deliberately placed me here, luring the Count who once owned this land to make a wish. This was fifty years ago. He had many reasons for doing so, but I can only tell you one reason. If you want to know more, you can continue to make wishes: he knew that fifty years later, his descendants would come here, and knew that the descendants would see me. I am deliberately waiting for you here."
That's why Xia De hated dealing with those high-ring diviners. Fortunately, this time it was the Spatial Chosen One, not the Fate Chosen One.
The Edwards had different expressions, and Xia De asked the next question:
"Please tell us as much information as possible about the diviner on the island."
The blue Giant Spirit clapped its hands with a smile:
"What a greedy wish, but I appreciate this kind of greed very much. That diviner has ideas, very many ideas, and is very bold. He has many strange collaborators, and he himself has even transcended the human form, and his true purpose is actually very great. Perhaps he is the righteous side... by human standards. I can only say so much, but you can make a wish to continue asking."
The Giant Spirit suggested.
"Transcended human form? I understand..."
Xia De considered cautiously, still not choosing to continue asking questions he had already asked:
"Last question, on that island, who is your kin?"
The air seemed to freeze for a moment. Megan understood Xia De's meaning first, while the twin brothers stared in surprise again. They didn't know that their ancestor was cooperating with some kind of demon.
And Xia De knew very well that the demon on the island was definitely not the one in front of him. After all, although the blue Giant Spirit was also a demon, its essence had been transformed into a relic. He could still distinguish between the curse released by a relic and the curse released by an evil spirit demon.
The Giant Spirit showed a grinning smile again:
"You really know, I knew it, you definitely know. It's really interesting, really interesting. However, I can't tell you the answer directly. Do you like riddles? I can give you three hints: the curse of all evil, the huge maze, the path with no solution."
Xia De couldn't understand these hints, but perhaps the doctor would understand something in the afternoon, at least it could narrow down the target range.
After the three questions were asked, the blue Giant Spirit scooped toward Xia De the cat, and Xia De instantly felt his soul relax a lot, as if something had been taken away.
"She" reminded softly in his ear:
【Outsider, you have perceived "Whispers."】
【Your "Greed (Perfect)" sin has decreased by 0.9 units.】
If Xia De remembered correctly, when he encountered the "Sin Mansion" in the Sikall Mountains last autumn, his greed was 9.9 units, second only to the "Gluttony" of Treasure-level. After half a year, the sin of greed must have increased, after all, Xia De wanted more, so it didn't matter if it was 0.9 units less at this time.
"Are you okay?"
Megan was nervous about the "price" charged by the demon, but Xia De shook his head to show he was fine.
"She" continued to remind:
【Outsider, you have gained insight into "Redemption."】
"Do you want to know more things? For example, what exactly did the diviner on the island do, why did he let you come here, or, what is on the island besides my kin. Do you want to know? Perhaps we can continue to trade."
The blue Giant Spirit continued to look at Xia De:
"Next, I don't want your sins, maybe you can help me collect souls. Yes, the obsession, greed, desire for war, and desire for power of ordinary humans are all condensed above this lake. Not to mention, the Great Movement of Fate will play here, and many, many interesting souls will gather here. Help me collect souls, and I can tell you more things."
The twin brothers closed their mouths consciously, but still shook their heads secretly at Xia De, signaling him absolutely not to trade with the demon. Megan was also worried, but these worries were unnecessary. For this kind of demon that couldn't even be swallowed by the doctor, Xia De was too lazy to deal with it:
"Can you tell me everything?"
"Yes, I am almost omniscient."
The "Giant Spirit" said, and then heard the silver cat ask:
"It's like this, regarding the legendary Demon King..."
The seven-colored clouds instantly drilled into the bottle, and then the bottle jumped violently toward the water surface beside the ice. But before the bottle touched the water surface, slender black chains shot out from the cat's claws, binding the bottle firmly.
When Xia De had four runes of the Great Sin Chain, he could completely restrict the demon-Fanni of the proliferation desire in a state of serious injury. Although the cat's state now limited his spellcasting ability, restricting the demon sealed in the bottle with the state of six Great Sin runes was no problem.
"What else do you want to do? I don't want to answer your questions."
The clouds in the bottle gathered into the face of the blue Giant Spirit. It looked at Xia De against the bottle, and that face was so ugly that it was disgusting because of distortion. The bottle kept shaking, trying to break free from the shackles of the chains, but the chains that made the three people present feel incomparably filthy and heavy were not so easy to loosen:
"If you can't answer the previous question, I can change one."
The silver cat looked at the demon in the bottle:
"I know a mermaid, I..."
"Although I don't know if the lady you are referring to is that lady, for everyone's sake, don't say that name, absolutely, absolutely don't."
The blue Giant Spirit shook its face desperately in the bottle. As a humanoid relic, the suppression of the Unknowable-level 【Desire】 on its kind of Sage-level relic was comprehensive, especially since both were related to "water." The swallowing principle of the relic made 【Desire】 almost its natural enemy:
"I'll tell you one more piece of information, how about you let me go?"
"Of course."
Saying this, the flames burning on the cat's claws drew a series of demon language runes in the air. This was the knowledge Xia De learned from the "Book of Malphas Demon," and this passage could guarantee that he would do what he said.
"Once the descendants of the Edwards family encounter me, the pre-arranged ritual will start. Don't look at the surroundings as if nothing has changed, in fact, this place has become a spatial anomaly zone. He is forcing his descendants to dig and use their talents more before the family reunites, digging into the power of their bloodline. Only in this way can they leave this abnormal area."
The voice of the blue Giant Spirit in the bottle clearly reached everyone's ears, and after finishing, it looked at the silver cat. Xia De actually had many things he wanted to ask, but he also knew that the other party was not really afraid of him, and there was no benefit in having more contact with this kind of thing:
"You are free, don't run into me next time."
"Do you think I want to run into you?"
The slender chains retracted, and the bottle fell into the water with a "dong" sound. When looking underwater again, the bottle actually disappeared as if it had melted into the water.
"It can move in the water, selectively letting people fish it up. Wish demon, it turns out it's willing to take the bait itself..."
Xia De thought in his heart, and then looked at the two brothers opposite:
"Do you want to work together to leave here?"
After the strong low-whisper element of the relic slowly dissipated, the spatial anomaly mentioned by the demon was also clearly perceived by them. Xia De had encountered many spatial anomaly zones before, but this one was particularly different.
Looking with the naked eye, the lake surface under the noon sun was quite calm, and the sunlight reflected on the lake surface was even a bit dazzling. Nothing abnormal could be seen with the eyes alone, but the three and one cat were all Ring Sorcerers with unique spatial talents. When consciousness touched everything around, they immediately discovered that the space that should have been stable was as fragile as glass around them. Even the slightest movement could cause cracks in the space.
This was equivalent to, as long as there was movement nearby, it was possible to cause an effect similar to the continuous use of "Lagrange's Jump." ===== CHAPTER 1678 =====
