Chapter 691: The
While speaking, the face of the "mermaid" in the water changed, actually turning into Luweiya's appearance. But the face was more exquisite, beautiful not like a mortal.
She beckoned to Xia De and asked with a smile in Luweiya's voice:
"Xia De, do you want to take a bath together?"
"Lady, this is really impolite."
Xia De said with a serious face. In fact, the impulse rising in his heart was almost not suppressed. Just being in the same space as 【Desire】, his own desire had the risk of losing control at any time. Even if Xia De had one experience, he still couldn't avoid being influenced.
The danger level of this "mermaid" is proportional to her appearance.
"Excuse me, what on earth do you want to do?"
"No, I don't want to do anything, this meeting is just accidental."
She restored that beautiful face that transcended aesthetics, but the color of her eyes was still consistent with Luweiya's.
The arm stretched out of the water pool rested on the dirty ground, and the white skin was contaminated by dirty dust, but it actually appeared more attractive than just now:
"Look, I was originally here, you broke in yourself."
This is the truth, and the trader of the 【Sin Mansion】 also said that the guests in the underground wine cellar had arrived here long ago.
"Then... can I leave?"
Xia De asked hesitatingly.
"Of course you can, but the door to leave is under the water pool."
She said with a smile. Every sound of her breathing must make Xia De confirm that he can still maintain his sanity. If this is a dice game, then every breath of hers is an attack.
"The door is in the water pool... alright, this time, what do I need to do for you to let me leave?"
Looking at the other party's appearance, this time it doesn't look like she wants to take the initiative to attack him.
"I crave your interesting soul, but seeing you become more interesting satisfies me more."
Narrowing his eyes slightly, this face seemed to have become somewhat similar to Miss Galina's:
"Go, go meet the master of this mansion, and let him witness your sin."
There are two ways to leave now, one is to walk from the underground wine cellar, and the other is to meet the master of the mansion. And 【Desire】's request basically means that only one road is left.
However, compared to facing the "mermaid" in front of him, Xia De felt that going to see the master of the mansion might be a safer approach.
Moreover, the blood-sucking species Bernhard and Sister Feilian should both be upstairs.
"Okay, then I will go see the master of the mansion."
So Xia De agreed very easily.
"Don't be anxious, ask the master of the mansion for a pair of pearl earrings for me. Don't say it was requested by me, use your own means to get it."
Her hand retracted into the water, but Xia De could hear the sound of her hand sliding under the water. The confusing blue light in the water pool made that woman's head look even more charming. She tilted her head and looked at Xia De, and the wet lips were very seductive:
"Just like last time, complete my request, and I will let you go, and I can also give you a gift."
"This time, I don't want to eat your meat anymore."
Xia De shook his head immediately.
"Oh, are you still thinking about this? No, if you want to eat my meat, you can do it at any time."
She bit her lip:
"Even, I am willing to be eaten by you entirely, to completely merge with you. Do you want me to be torn apart by you piece by piece while crying, or let me be covered in oil and pushed into the oven by you while laughing..."
"No, no, let's talk back to the pearl earrings."
Must rely on the voice in his head to continue chuckling in his ear for Xia De to maintain his sanity. Compared with the last meeting, his resistance this time was much weaker. I don't know if this is the influence of having eaten the other party's flesh and blood, or because Xia De is no longer pure.
"That's good, interesting soul, this time, I can give you some interesting things. Go, when you encounter difficulties, you can recite my name softly, perhaps, I can really hear it. In this 【Sin Mansion】, no one can stop me."
A wisp of ambiguous pink light drifted from the water pool and entered the back of Xia De's hand. The desire in his heart increased again, but this also increased his strength:
"Go meet the master of the mansion, my mark will protect you until you come back again."
Clearly threatening Xia De to come back, but the tone was still so gentle.
Gazing at Xia De, wet black broken hair stuck to 【Desire】's side face. This time, the white arm stretched out from the left side, but after picking up the hair, it didn't tuck it behind the ear, but put it in front of the mouth and bit it lightly:
"Or, if you are willing to play with me in the water for a while, I can also let you go, that will... be very happy."
Xia De ran away in fright, and behind him came the iconic light laughter of Desire.
"Laugh quickly."
He urged in his heart, and that familiar laughter was still so reassuring to Xia De.
Realizing that there was a 0-level relic in the underground wine cellar that could be rated just by an individual, Xia De no longer cared about any danger on the three floors of the Sin Mansion as he did just now.
Almost fleeing from the basement, and then without looking back, he walked along the corridor where the flames were gradually extinguishing, and went all the way around to the stairs in front of the mansion. Only then did he stop to breathe heavily. He was really glad that 【Desire】 had never had too much hostility toward him, otherwise, the last drop of divinity reserved for the promotion from the third ring to the fourth ring would probably have been consumed here.
"What kind of ghost place is Midhillburg? Can more dangerous things happen here?"
【More dangerous than an unknowable-level relic, probably only those Great Ones in the sky.】
"She" reminded softly.
"No, no, it's chaotic enough here."
He rarely drew the holy emblem of Mr. Dawn on his chest:
"May God bless this city."
Walking all the way to the second floor along the stairs, the second floor looked even more dilapidated than when he left just now. Besides the scratch marks on the wall, there were more traces of fire scorching. The miraculous flames mastered by Sister Feilian had a very strong restraining effect on this mansion.
Xia De returned to the room where he met Bernhard, and the trader was still there. Seeing Xia De appear, he immediately grinned:
"Generous guest, you are back again, what do you need this time?"
"I want to know, did a nun come to find you just now? Where did she go?"
"Help me bear 0.1 units of perfect Sloth sin."
"Why is it perfect Sloth again?"
"I am a high-level trader."
"Is ordinary not okay?"
"I don't bargain here."
Xia De gritted his teeth:
"Okay, 0.1 units."
He handed out his parchment again, and after increasing his sin, he also got the answer he wanted:
"About 10 minutes ago, the nun wearing an eye mask made of spiritual silver came to find me, wanting to trade for 'Fire of Sin'. But this kind of peculiar flame is only possessed by the master of the mansion. So, she went to find the master of the mansion. In addition, that vampire also went to find the master. The Blood Holy Grail he wanted is the master's private collection."
"Why do you reveal the information about the blood-sucking species for free every time?"
Xia De asked curiously.
"Because, he fought with me. Although he paid the price to let me let him go, I therefore have no obligation to keep his secret. I also informed the terrifying nun just now about the vampire. If I didn't see it wrong, the flame in her hand should be the Primordial Fire. The guests this time are really extraordinary. Is something big going to happen in the material world?"
Since the two possible helpers both went to the third floor, Xia De had no other choice. Passing through the stairs to the third floor, returning to the starting point of departure, and then bypassing the corridor, he found the banquet hall located at the back of the mansion.
A battle had also occurred here just now, and the battle was even more tragic than downstairs. And the black double-opening door that seemed capable of absorbing light was tightly closed. The patterns on the door were extremely complicated, and the meaning of filth and sin expressed was probably enough to make an ordinary person with a normal mind go crazy directly.
After knocking on the door lightly, he didn't hear the sound inside, so Xia De pushed the door open himself.
The light inside was even dimmer than outside, and the slightly empty banquet hall stood with life-sized stone figures of various sizes, including humans, elves, mermen, and more alien races that Xia De couldn't identify.
In the center of the banquet hall was a long dining table covered with a pure black tablecloth. At the end of the long dining table was an old man who was senile, hairless, with a gray-white face and wrinkles stacked together.
Sister Feilian and Mr. Bernhard were sitting on both sides of the end of the long dining table near the door. And this scene made Xia De almost think for a moment that he had returned to the God's Banquet in the Night Manor.
Looking down at his hand, the divine radiance didn't appear, proving that this relic had nothing to do with the power of gods. And coming to the core room of the relic, the influence of whisper elements also became stronger.
But compared to seeing Desire just now, the negative thoughts at this moment were not worth mentioning.
"The guests who entered this time are all here, so please sit down."
The senile old man said in a hoarse voice, and the door behind Xia De closed automatically.
Xia De first looked at the blood-sucking species. Armand Bernhard nodded to him as a greeting. Then he looked at Sister Feilian. The nun just turned to look at him. Because she was wearing an eye mask, Xia De really couldn't judge her expression.
He didn't choose to sit at the end of the long dining table facing the master of the mansion, and finally sat beside Mr. Bernhard. The latter, because of the friendship of mutual treatment with Xia De, didn't feel surprised either. And not sitting beside Sister Feilian was because there was no need to expose the relationship of knowing the nun.
It seems that every time Xia De sits at a long dining table in such a banquet hall, incredible things will happen. In short, due to the request of 【Desire】, this time Xia De was forced to sit here.
And when Xia De sat down, the hoarse voice of the master of the mansion sounded again. If a normal human made this kind of sound, he would probably not be far from entering the soil:
"This house doesn't always appear in the material world. The fate that I can meet three guests here is also the fate of water droplets splashing on stones in the long river of fate. This era seems more interesting. I am quite interested in seeing if the steam technology of this era is any different from the steam technology of the Fifth Era."
The Witch Empresses of the Fifth Era were not doing nothing. Limited evidence shows that before the end of the Fifth Era, traces of steam industry had appeared in some areas. Unfortunately, the change of eras erased most of the information, so there is very little research material.
"Everyone has their own sin in their hands."
He signaled Xia De, Mr. Bernhard, and the nun to take out their respective parchments.
Because Xia De was sitting next to Mr. Bernhard, he glanced at the other party's parchment. Mr. Bernhard's sin items were also about eight or nine lines, but before Xia De tried to look at the quality of his soul, the blood-sucking species tilted the parchment without a trace, avoiding Xia De's sight.
"May I ask, since we each have our own requests, how are we to obtain what we want?"
Xia De asked.
"Using sin to exchange for what you each want is a bit too boring."
Hearing him say this, Xia De and Mr. Bernhard both raised their eyebrows. After seeing the master of the mansion, the reason why most people disappeared without a trace was finally understood.
"Then, what do you want to do?"
The nun, whose expression remained unchanged, asked. Her voice was still so steady and ethereal... Xia De actually thought for a moment that Sister Feilian's voice was very similar to 【Desire】's voice, and only then realized that this was the influence of that 0-level relic on him.
The master of the mansion at the end of the table coughed:
"Let's play cards."
The fear of 【Desire】 was suppressed, and Xia De was ecstatic in his heart.
"How about Luo De Pai? Spanning the entire..."
Xia De's peripheral vision glanced at the stone figures with different expressions beside him. In the years long ago, these were also foreign guests who had sat here and gambled with the master of the mansion.
"After getting what you want, you can leave, so what do you want?"
He asked the three people.
"Fire of Sin."
Sister Feilian said, her cold voice forming a sharp contrast with the master of the mansion's voice.
"Relic - Blood Holy Grail."
Mr. Bernhard said, his brows tightly locked, not knowing what he was thinking.
"A pair of beautiful golden pearl earrings."
Xia De felt that he was the most innocent. After all, he had already obtained what he wanted. If it weren't for 【Desire】 in the wine cellar, he would have returned to Mount Sikar now, basking in the sun waiting for Sister Feilian.
"Golden pearl earrings? No problem, I didn't expect anyone in this era to know that I have this kind of thing."
He coughed:
"Nun who craves the Fire of Sin, you can leave after winning 1 unit of Rare sin from me. Blood-sucking person who craves the blood cup, you can leave after winning 6 units of Perfect sin from me. As for you, outsider who follows desire, you need to pay more."
"Why?"
"Because what you want is not your own desire."
Turbid eyes looked at Xia De:
"You need to win 3 units of Rare sin, yes, 3 units of Rare."
Xia De pursed his lips and didn't speak. The perfect Sloth had already had a subtle influence on him. 3 units of Rare, unless it is Rare Gluttony, will definitely cause more serious consequences. ===== CHAPTER 692 =====
