Chapter 690: Meeting the

Probably because Sister Feilian had already cleared all the enemies in the corridor on this side in advance, although the burning corridor caused some obstacles to Xia De's walking, Xia De didn't encounter any more enemies as he continued to walk.

The wine cellar is in the basement, and the door leading to the basement is locked. On the black iron door, the strange scene of giant beasts eating people and humans eating giant beasts was carved.

When Xia De reached out and wanted to open the door with the 【Key of Doors】, the pattern on the door actually twisted and turned into a large human face:

"Give me all your Gluttony, and I will let you pass."

The humming sound vibrated with the iron door, forming an unclear sound.

"All the Gluttony? No, this won't do."

Xia De shook his head, reaching out to touch the door, but a huge force pushed him directly to the back.

"If you don't give me sin, don't even think about passing."

That face became ferocious.

"All the Gluttony is too much, change a condition."

"Food, delicious food that satisfies me is also fine."

Xia De thought for a while, reached into his pocket, and took out a small pendant of a wine bottle. After restoring the pendant, inside was fruit wine made with the miracle of 【Blood Wine Brewing】.

"Is wine okay?"

He shook the container in his hand, and the ferocious human face opened its mouth, but inside the hollow big mouth was not the stairs leading to the basement, but darkness that could not be seen.

Xia De, who is proficient in space power, could feel that behind this is another space.

So he threw the wine bottle in, and the crack closed accordingly. The ugly and twisted human face on the door let out a long sigh:

"Oh, this is really good, very tasteful fruit wine."

The sound of springs, pistons, and gears operating came from inside the iron door. With the door crack spraying steam outward, the door was opened. Xia De was able to see that the thickness of this door was about the degree of three red bricks stacked together.

"You pass."

The face on the door hummed, the ferocious face relaxed, and it was even a bit cute:

"However, there is a guest of the master in the wine cellar now, you had better be careful."

"Thanks."

Xia De said softly and entered the basement.

The whole Sin Mansion has now achieved steam and gas, so although the light is not very strong, there are indeed gas lamps on the walls of the wine cellar.

The wine cellar here is very similar to the wine cellar under the Aurora Mansion, except that it is divided into upper and lower layers. The upper layer uses wine barrels to store wine, and each wine barrel has a faucet, which can be used at any time to confirm the fermentation state of the red wine. The lower layer is rows of shelves, and expensive wine bottles that can be seen at a glance are displayed on the shelves.

Both layers are roughly rectangular. In the center of the upper layer, there is a patio, and one can lie on the railing to see the appearance of the lower layer. And the four corners of the two layers are connected by copper-colored elevators. The elevators here are very un-steam-scientific, because even without seeing a miniaturized steam engine, one can still realize the lifting of the elevator by stepping on the buttons in the center of the elevator.

The wine fragrance is pungent, and one breath seems to be able to get drunk, and it stimulates the desire of 【Gluttony】 even more. A gurgling sound came from his stomach, but Xia De remembered that he had eaten very full in the morning:

"Going out to talk to Sister Feilian about things in a while, I can invite her to dinner... the Mungtons restaurant that the priest treated last time was not bad, I don't know if the nun can appreciate the fruit wine I 'brewed'."

Thinking of messy things in his heart, Xia De walked down the stairs at the door and officially entered the wine cellar.

But the first thing he noticed was not those wine barrels, but he saw at a glance that there was blue light halo constantly shaking on the ceiling above the patio.

"Hmm?"

Afterward, he heard the gurgling sound of water coming from the lower layer of the wine cellar under the patio, and only then did he realize that the light halo on the ceiling was the water ripples of the water pool on the lower layer.

However, looking at the area of those light halos, the water pool on the lower layer actually had the same area as the entire patio. Moreover, to form such a light halo, it must be guaranteed that there is also a light source at the bottom of the water.

"Does the 【Sin Mansion】 actually build a swimming pool in the wine cellar? Could it be that red wine was poured into the pool? What kind of sin is this... wasting food?"

Although very curious, Xia De didn't approach the railing of the upper layer to observe what was in the water pool on the lower layer, he was worried about seeing things that shouldn't be seen.

Turning around to find the elevator in the southeast, the trader just now only said the approximate location of the secret passage, and Xia De had to find the specific way to walk by himself.

【Outsider, you felt "whispers".】

"I know, I am inside the relic now, there are whisper elements everywhere here."

Xia De answered in his heart, lit the moonlight at his fingertips to illuminate the surroundings, and curiously wondered what the iron sign placed beside the wine barrel was for.

Then, he heard "her" gentle laughter:

【No, this refers to, you felt stronger whisper elements.】

"Stronger than the 【Sin Mansion】 itself?"

Frowning slightly and looking around.

【Yes, and this kind of whisper element with characteristics, you have encountered before. This can be considered, your old friend.】

"Old friend", this word made Xia De think of Luweiya's divination before departure.

【Yes, her divination is very accurate.】

"Wait, I originally thought the so-called 'old friend' referred to Grace and Helen, could it be that I guessed wrong, the old friend is actually..."

The sound of splashing water came from the lower layer, it seemed that someone was swimming in the water pool.

Xia De opened his mouth slightly, turning toward the patio direction with an unusually slow action.

His pupils shrank, and he saw that the light halo reflected on the ceiling above the patio became more and more chaotic.

In the blue waves, a shadow gradually became larger and gradually clearer. With the seductive laughter coming from the lower layer, Xia De felt as if his blood had been ignited.

That shadow was not in the shape of a person at all. In the chaotic and disorderly light and shadow, one could clearly see a mermaid with a human body and a fish tail.

He heard laughter, but it was not the familiar laughter in his ear, but the laughter coming from the water pool on the lower layer. That laughter was as refreshing as the sound of crisp wind chimes, and as refreshing as a cold drink drunk in the scorching heat. Even, the severe headache caused by the Sin Mansion for Xia De was relieved a lot because of this.

But this didn't make Xia De happy, but instead made a layer of goosebumps appear on his arm immediately. Because the 【Gluttony】 amplified by the wine fragrance was indeed suppressed, but another extreme emotion surged up.

He realized who the so-called "old friend" was, this laughter he would never forget in his life.

A hoarse voice came from under the patio, although "it" and Xia De didn't look at each other directly, Xia De could feel that the other party was looking at himself through a layer of ground:

"Look, I said, we will definitely meet again."

Subconsciously retreating, but realizing that retreating couldn't escape either. He breathed heavily, suppressed his violent heartbeat, and calmed his body's agitation. Then he walked slowly to the edge of the patio and looked out at the square water pool below at the railing.

Those beautiful, seductive purple eyes, eyes like Luweiya's, just happened to look at Xia De.

The gurgling water sound seemed to show that this was a pool of living water, and the inexplicable light made the part under the water completely invisible. What Xia De could see was just a woman's head looking up from the water pool. It is difficult to use specific words to describe the woman's appearance, because even the most beautiful witch Xia De has ever seen is far better than the appearance of this face.

"Indescribable" usually refers to those strange scenes that transcend the scope of human description, and this face has reached the "indescribable" level because of excessive beauty. He completely believes that no matter how different the aesthetic views of all things in the world are, there will be no living creature that will not be fascinated by this face at the first moment of seeing it.

It raised its head in the water pool, and that face, which was enough to make the most determined ascetic indulge, looked at Xia De above. White arms stretched out from under the water pool and issued an invitation to him:

"Interesting soul, please come closer.

"【Desire】..."

The one in the water pool is exactly the 0-level relic 【Desire】 that Xia De encountered under the Aurora Mansion in Coldwater Harbor. Two months later, without any preparation, Xia De met it again:

"Can Midhillburg be any more outrageous..."

He stood above looking at that face, listening to the invitation issued by the hoarse voice. Even after experiencing so many things, when seeing her again, the primitive desire rising in Xia De's heart was still close to out of control. Compared with 【Desire】, the negative emotions evoked by the 【Sin Mansion】 were not worth mentioning.

The secret passage is on the lower layer, Xia De even if he wants to avoid it, he cannot avoid it. Moreover, Xia De does not doubt at all that the other party has the power to instantly flatten the entire Sin Mansion. You know, the entire Interstice of Life and Death plus three death passages can be completely rated as 0-level.

With the splashing water sound, she is singing, using the language of the Fifth Era, using her hoarse voice, chanting a love story about an expedition soldier and a girl waiting:

"My beloved,

When I stand at the crossroads full of rosemary,

Please don't forget me..."

This is calling Xia De down.

Taking a deep breath to adjust his rapid breathing, Xia De passed through the elevator by the wall, came from the upper layer of the wine cellar to the lower layer, and passed through the dense wine storage shelves, coming to the open space in the center of the shelves. Above the open space is the patio, and in the open space is that square swimming pool.

In the water pool, there is a woman's head with beauty beyond human imagination. She chanted the last stanza of that little poem, and "swam" from the center of the water pool to the edge of the water pool. Just like last time, the head was exposed above the water surface, but the smooth shoulders could not be seen. Afterward, white arms stretched out from the right side, and the milky skin color as well as the delicate skin texture even made Xia De have the urge to rush up and take a bite.

"You, are you so afraid of me?"

She asked Xia De who was standing at a distance of ten meters from the edge of the water pool with a smile. The outsider shook his head:

"It's your charm that is too great."

A smile appeared on the beautiful face, and the voice was so pleasant:

"Look, when a little boy becomes a real man, even his speech becomes pleasant. I really don't know which girl has such luck." ===== CHAPTER 691 =====
