"It may also be related to the contract between the devil and Oxenfurt. But whether it is a confusion or not, the relic is not important. What is important is that its behavior reveals how much it cares about Oxenfurt's soul.
middle."
The doctor thought for a while and asked Xiang Xia De again:
"Are you sure you are ready to expel Stone Oxenfurt's soul immediately after killing him?"
"Yes, triple insurance: photos, nuns and guilty sinners, my helpers are all in place."
The doctor didn’t ask any more questions:
"Friday night, you still have this dagger with you, but don't use it lightly."
"I understand. In fact, this dagger has other uses here."
Shade looked at the weapon lying on the table. After all, this was also a relic that could absorb some kind of energy. After the current [Desecrated Cross] collapsed, there was no need to worry about finding another weapon.
"The devil is really rich, and he can give away this kind of thing to anyone at will."
Shade muttered again, and the doctor glanced at Shade:
"After all, it is an ancient evil demon that has been active for a long time. There must be something valuable in its hands. Oh, speaking of it, didn't it promise to give you something after completing the commission? It would be better if you can get it yourself. If you can't get it, it will be better.
, after I destroy it, those things will belong to you. As before, I only want the devil itself."
Shade nodded, but what he was actually thinking about was whether to add a fourth layer of insurance to this matter.
【what you up to?】
"What would happen if Oxenfurt's soul was taken away by a more powerful being in advance?"
Because he went to Dr. Schneider's place, it was almost eleven o'clock in the morning when Shade arrived at Randall Valley.
He first went to the Fertile Land Hotel, but did not find Ms. Marilyn Handel. Fortunately, she left a message for Shade before leaving the hotel. When Shade found her in the abandoned house after the fire in Mouse Lane in the west of the city, she was
Send an evil spirit away.
The evil spirit was an image with disheveled hair. Shade originally thought it was a female, but when he got closer, he realized it was a young man.
He roared in front of the wall that was burned to black after the fire, and his whole body emitted a miserable green light, which shook the whole house. But Ms. Marilyn Handel and Joy Barton standing next to her were both
Expressionless look.
The surging black mist appeared above their heads, and dense black chains stretched out from the black mist, locking the long-haired evil spirit until it was dragged into the mist.
The end of the black mist is the true destination of the soul.
After everything was over, Ms. Handel turned to say hello to Shade, and Shade felt that the curse on her and Joy Barton had been reduced to a very small extent:
"This ability looks really amazing."
Although Shade can also open the passage to real death, he must let the soul walk in on his own initiative, unlike what we just saw, which can directly send the evil spirits away unconditionally.
Ms. Handel shook her head slightly:
"This is our atonement. Have you determined the time to act?"
"Yes, the day after tomorrow, that is Friday night, the place will be at Oxenfurt Manor. On Friday morning, I will leave this card to you."
He showed the [Creation·Death] that originally belonged to Joey Barton:
"When this card disappears from your hand, you can go directly into the manor to find me. Of course, I will try to place the battlefield in the courtyard of the manor instead of in the building to ensure that you can be there immediately."
"no problem."
Ms. Marilyn Hendel and Joy Barton said together, and Shade looked around again:
"Speaking of which, what's going on here?"
This house experienced a fire. Although the house itself was severely damaged, and even the stairs from the first floor to the second floor where it is currently located were broken, it should still be habitable with a little renovation. When Shade came over, he also walked towards the entrance of the alley.
The child inquired and found out that the fire happened about two years ago.
"Two years ago, a fire killed seven members of a businessman's family who lived here. The man just now was the eldest son of the male owner, and he should have inherited the family business. He was unwilling to leave like this, so he became a
Evil spirit."
Joey Barton explained that he knew what Shade wanted to ask, so he stretched out his hand and sketched it in front of him, and the illusion of the spirit showed the situation that night.
The white mist dispersed at Joey Barton's fingertips, and the phantom of Rat Alley appeared at night. Shade heard slight footsteps, and then a group of masked people appeared on the screen. They opened the door directly with keys.
Then he rushed in with an oil drum. Five or six minutes later, he quickly left the door and the fire quickly engulfed the house.
"After that, the local police spent two weeks investigating and arresting the murderer. The leader of the murderer was sentenced to death, and the others were sentenced to life imprisonment. However, there is evidence that after they stayed in prison for half a year, they began to be arrested for various reasons.
He was released on bail for some bizarre reasons, and then changed his name and smuggled himself to Delrayon. Among them, there was a big shot from Willendale."
Ms. Marilyn Hendel said, adding at the end:
"The soul's memory shows that this family had a business conflict with Stone Oxenfurt during his lifetime."
"I understand, remove the stumbling block."
Shade nodded and looked at the burned-out bedroom. The metal bed supports were still there, but they were already dark. It seemed that Ms. Handel and Joy Barton were also unknown to Shade.
At that time, a lot of investigations were done on Stone Oxenfurt. For example, the whereabouts of that group of people are definitely not known by the evil spirits trapped here.
"What kind of person is Stone Oxenfurt from your perspective?"
Shade asked curiously.
Ms. Handel replied:
"We have met souls who are quite familiar with Oxenfurt in this city. Oxenfurt is violent, evil, and greedy, but he also loves Haila Oxenfurt deeply. He is a very ordinary person.
, just like most people, nothing special."
Hearing the adjective "ordinary" made Shade raise his eyebrows, but if he thought about it carefully, he did have two sides like most people. It's just that the evil side was too strong.
After bidding farewell to Ms. Handel, Shade met Sister Devlin again at the local Snake Heart Hospital at noon that day.
Snake Heart Hospital is a semi-official charity organization that can be found basically throughout the Old World. It survives on the donations raised by the [Spiritual Order], donations from various places, and official grants. The hospital provides free delivery to women.
Or it provides services to treat diseases of women and children in slums, so it has a pretty good reputation in the eyes of ordinary people.
The Snake Heart Hospital in Randall Valley is located in the old city like the Masons, and is even located on the same street as the Peace Church. This is quite bold in Shade's opinion.
When Shade saw the nun wearing a silver eyepatch, Miss Aurora happened to be there. Her niece and apprentice, Miss Hayley Aurora, acted as a maid and stood aside to prepare tea for the two of them.
, and ready to be dispatched at any time.
When Shade opened the door and walked in, the witch with beautiful brown wavy hair said with a smile:
"Since Shade is here, he must have something to talk about with the nun. Then Hailey and I will leave temporarily. Shade, we will wait for you downstairs, and we will go back to Bernice's manor for lunch later."
"no problem."
Shade nodded and watched the witch and the girl who was still blushing after seeing Shade leave.
After the office door closed, the nun standing in front of the window said in a rather calm tone:
"Xiwei Avora came here nominally to donate to the hospital, but actually brought an order from the parliament, or a request."
"I have never asked them, what do the council think of the first candidate - the Guardian? Although he is considered a male by the witches, at least it contains the father of Miss Lassus. And Miss Lassus is the golden subordinate of the parliament.
The deputy director of the Dawn Opera Troupe, so theoretically, the person selected this time even has direct contact with the parliament."
With her back to the sun, the shadow on Sister Devlin's face was very interesting. She put her hands together in front of her body and shook her head slightly towards Shade:
"The message brought by Sylvie Aurora, the Great Witch of the Council believes that if there is a chance, it is best to directly let Miss Lassus become the chosen one."
She paused:
"The four chosen ones who have appeared and survived so far, Balance and I, are all women. Although Carina Cavendish did not directly disclose that she was teaching Balance recently, she still talked about the relationship between Balance and her
Not bad. Therefore, the Witch Council believes that it is best to maintain this situation."
"Can't the Council trust the Guardians?"
"Can you trust the Guardian?"
Sister Devlin asked calmly, and Shade blinked:
"To be honest, I quite admire their behavior and their spirit of sacrifice. But the way they exist. The specialness and independence of the soul have been explained in the first-grade basic class at St. Byrons, and they are used in
The concept defines the soul while explaining the consequences of actions such as soul fusion. I am willing to believe them completely, but the high scores I got in the first grade and the current degree of distortion of the earth make me maintain the most basic caution
.”
In other words, you trust the Guardians, but you don't trust them to stay normal.
For a moment, Shade seemed to see a smile on Sister Devlin's fair face, but Sister Devlin was very good at controlling her expression:
"Luvia once talked with me in the fire. She has the same view as me. There may be a big problem with the Guardian."
"So what does the church think? When I met Iluna last week, she skipped the meeting, so I don't know what's going on with the church right now."
