Whispering Poems.

Chapter 1891 The Banquet of the Dead
This is true, the demon sealed by the doctor is a big problem, and the priest will definitely doubt whether the doctor is possessed by a demon.Although priests are related to angels, the power of killing angels is too dangerous after all, and it is normal for doctors to be suspicious of priests.

Even if the two are willing to share their secrets—the probability is very low, the priest can hardly believe that the doctor can control the demon all the time, and Shade can guess whether the doctor is willing to believe in the priest who has the power of an angel.

Without Shad, doctors and priests would have to go out and collect the remains of demons or angels on their own, and the matter of the chosen ones would be superimposed on it. In the end, their relationship became completely hostile, and something like "I'm helping you, Bill, put down your gun" "Priest, why don't you trust me" kind of situation, it's not out of the question.

"So, how did my joining make you trust each other?"

"Isn't this simple? Your performance at the manor and after that has shown that no matter what happens, you can control anyone in the group. Moreover, you also actively participated in other people's affairs afterwards, everyone Keep benefiting because of you. As long as you are still here, everything is under control, and even I start to trust myself. Everything is moving in the right direction, so there is no need to suspect each other."

The doctor's tone was very relaxed, and it seemed to him that he was just chatting with Shad.But because of this, Xia De thought of the sixth era without himself. In the cycle of those past lives, the long-haired Luvia was probably the last one he walked to.

The doctor and the priest are hostile to each other, and Dorothy and Rezia's problems can be solved without him, and it is not known whether they can survive to the end.When Luvia witnessed the thirteen chosen ones and walked to the end, there was probably no one around her.

"Meow~"

A stray cat's cry came from a distance, and Xia De thought of the silver-eyed Mia that he saw when he entered Luvia's dream at the end of last year:
"Will Mia, who passed away, be the one who accompanied Luvia until the end?"

If this is really the case, then there is definitely a secret that Shade has not discovered so far in that cat.If the dreams mentioned by Luvia were really related to the [past life], then even Sister Divelin and Miss Pavo from the Truth Church were not able to witness the last scene of the end in the past life.

【You are here again. 】

"She" sighed softly in Xia De's ear, Xia De looked at the moon above his head, but smiled.

"After the small talk, I knew it wouldn't go so well."

The doctor said suddenly, Xia De nodded, and looked around:
"We are stealing other people's things. If there is no reaction on the island, it will be strange."

The two quickly moved from the farmland towards the direction of the priest. At this time, the huge oak tree was still shrouded in thick gray fog, and it was unclear what was going on inside.

And when Xia De and the doctor returned to the intersection, a distorted phantom appeared on the edge of the turbulent gray fog.This is not an illusion, but a manifestation of an abnormal state of space, which is exactly what the two chatting just now felt.

The gray mist suddenly expanded outwards, swallowing Xia De and the doctor in it.The two stood back to back, looking around vigilantly.Xia De has already used the "Spatial Stability Halo", on the one hand to prevent people from coming over, and on the other hand to prevent his own side from being transferred.

The voice of the priest came not far away:
"Don't worry, although the other party has noticed my movements, he can't track us. I'm still calling that thing over. Remember, no matter what you see for a while, it's a half-truth and half-false illusion. Don't believe anything .”

The priest's old voice gradually disappeared, and at the same time, the gray fog in front of Xia De also gradually dispersed.He squinted slightly, and the dazzling light came from the crystal chandelier above his head. Looking around, he actually appeared in the old Edwards house on the island.Looking at the surrounding furnishings, this is clearly the not-so-big restaurant on the second floor of the old house.

Unlike the restaurant on the first floor of the old house, which has Edwards’s family tree, the restaurant on the second floor is specially used to hold banquets for entertaining guests.At this time, the dining room was illuminated by bright lights, antiques and gold and silver decorations made it look resplendent, the floor was covered with red carpets, and the whitewashed walls were completely different from the dilapidated mansion.

Men and women, dancing to the melodious music coming from nowhere.And looking out from the window, the outside is clearly the night scenery.

"Prom? Is it a hallucination now?"

[There is no sign of space transfer, and no trace of time travel, it is an illusion. 】

But this illusion was so realistic, it was as if Shad had really come to the banquet held in the Edwards family's mansion.

However, he soon noticed that the dancing people had a cold feeling.If you experience it carefully, you can clearly feel that what is dancing is not a living person at all, but a corpse.

Just after Xia De realized this, the skins of those gaudy and well-dressed banquet guests began to fester with their twirling dance steps, but they didn't know it.

The rotten meat that fell on the ground was trampled on by high heels and leather shoes. With the movement of the rotting corpse with a terrifying face, the choking stench gradually filled the room.

But the crystal chandelier is still bright, the music is still brisk, and even Shad has the urge to go over and dance with them:
"What a strange urge. I don't like dancing."

Xia De thought in his heart, and then saw a familiar figure walking from the dancing corpses:

"Want to dance together?"

The youthful and beautiful "Leciya" smiled and extended an invitation to Xia De. She was already beautiful, but now she was even more beautiful with the horrible corpses around her.

[Illusions. 】

"I know."

Xia De ignored the invitation in front of him, and watched the corpse's ball more carefully.The surrounding walls are very unreasonably full of oil paintings, most of which are landscape oil paintings, and the black spiral coat of arms of the "Returning One" that he had seen before appeared in the form of oil paintings on the side of the door of the banquet hall .

There are 21 portrait oil paintings interspersed with landscape oil paintings, the first six of which are portraits of six Edwards in the first three generations, including Laplace Klein Howard, which look extremely old ;
The seven in the middle are portraits of four people from the fourth generation and three people from the fifth generation except Megan and Audrey.These seven oil paintings looked very new, and it was because of this that Xia De learned the true appearance of the fourth generation's youngest daughter, Maria Edwards.There are no photographs or portraits of their grandmother, the Green siblings.

As for the last eight paintings, they are oil paintings of Meghan and Audrey, the Edwards brothers, the Forlan brothers and the Green sisters.But in these eight oil paintings, the characters all wear different animal masks, and Xia De can only tell who they are by clothing and physical characteristics.

The witch sisters wear cat-shaped masks, one of them is red and the other is green, which looks very weird;
The two Edwards brothers are wild boar masks. The two masks have the same color, but one has only the left eye and the other has only the right eye. I don’t know if it is related to the blindness of one eye of the two brothers;
The Furren brothers correspond to the pigeon masks, their masks are exactly the same, but there are blood and tears on the masks;
The Greens are bunny masks with long ears. They have scarlet eyes, thick beards on one cheek, and two blushes on the other cheek.

"Cats, boars, pigeons, rabbits."

Xia De muttered in his heart, and when he went to look at "Lecia" who tried to invite him to dance just now, the person standing there was clearly a fortune-teller with glasses.

Holding the wine glass, he smiled and shook his head:

"Sorry, I saw Princess Rezia last time, so I used illusion to transform into Princess Rezia, and wanted to play a joke on you. You seem to mind."

Shad dismissed the pointless question:

"Your descendants wearing masks are all descendants you have never touched. Why are you wearing animal masks? It makes them look like sacrifices."

"Yes, they are my sacrifices."

Soothsayers do not deny this:
"Including these dancing people you saw, they are sacrifices. These people used to live on this island, the townspeople of Green Lake Town. Now I let them come back, I hope they will complete that with me Ceremony. Do you know the rumors about the 'Returned One'?"

"Yes, there is such a rumor in the village by the lake: It is rumored that the world will eventually return to one point, and the one who will lead everyone to survive the end of the world. I still have a few coins of the one in my hand." Badge. If you guessed correctly, you distributed it."

The fortune teller nodded slightly:
"Except for my heirs, except for the townspeople in the territory and their descendants, if others are willing to accept, they will also be eligible to complete the ceremony with me and survive the inevitable disaster with me."

"Could it be that your Edwards den magic is to create a new space to escape the disaster of reality?"

Xia De couldn't help asking, and the Seer nodded:
"That's right, but you haven't said enough."

Xia De still wanted to speak, but the Seer no longer wanted to continue this topic:

"Every action of yours is beyond my expectations. I have studied the half of the skull for more than 200 years, and I can barely use its power, but the person you recruited can directly control the skull. "

He drank the blood-like red wine in the wine glass:

"It is the remains of the ancient death. It is an object that exists in the material world and is closer to the essence of death than anything else. I am not good at manipulating corpses, but with a little research, I can create A powerful three-in-one ghoul lich. I know that you want to take this key item before the decisive battle, so as to prevent the final confrontation with my undead army."
