My exclusive card pool

Chapter 10: Ice-Hearted Man

The maid had not finished her words when Wang Xi's eyes flashed. He deliberately controlled his facial expression and remained in a daze.

"...Also, the priest said that Lord Kai is experiencing the onset of his 'Ice Heart Curse'."

The maid lowered her voice.

"Whether or not I can wake up depends on luck. Even if I do wake up, my health will only get worse, and my emotions will become more and more distant. I'm afraid I won't live long."

"what?!"

The maid on the left paused and exclaimed softly.

"So Lord Kayi is the 'Ice Heart Man'! No wonder he hasn't won a tournament in recent years. Master Barto is becoming increasingly disappointed."

Bing Xin people?
What is this again?
Wang Xi began to have doubts in his mind.

"What about Miss Sera?"

The maid on the left was silent for a few seconds, then said:
"Now that the Earldom has negotiated with the Northerners, and Master Barto has returned, the young lady's marriage to Lord Gai..."

"It's impossible." The maid on the right shook her head regretfully. "Master Kai has already been defiled by Wendy, and with his status as the 'Ice Heart Man', how could Master Barto allow him to marry Miss Sera?"

"But I heard that the marriage will not be cancelled, it will just be a replacement."

"Change someone?"

"Yes, it's Miss Lena."

"what?!"

The maid on the left looked shocked.

Wang Xi had a blank expression on his face, but he cursed in his heart.

Lena Crawford...

Unlike Wendy, her distant cousin, she is Sera's real cousin.

But who knows what gene went wrong, Lena and Sera are completely different styles. Wang Xi had the honor of seeing each other once in prison, and it was a scene he will never forget.

Four or five elite soldiers struggled to escort the huge meatball through the corridor. The pig-slaughtering screams were deafening and almost scared Wang Xi to death on the spot.

He had thought at the time that it was some subspecies of troll.

Later I learned that the chubby girl being escorted was Sierra’s cousin, Lena Crawford…

"Marriage between two families is a tradition in Randall. Although the Farrell family has declined and only Lord Gay is the legitimate bloodline left, they were the former masters of this land after all."

The maid on the right sighed.

Now, Wang Xi finally understood everything.

From the beginning to the end, his only value was to serve as a breeding pig, used to marry a woman from the Crawford family. This would help Earl Bartow control the territory.

He was once able to be engaged to Sera because of his handsome appearance and talent in swordsmanship. Now that these halos have faded, he is naturally unworthy of the Earl's beloved daughter Sera.

So as a second best option, we decided to make use of the waste and simply arrange for him to marry Lena.

The genius turned into a waste and was broken off in the beginning.

Hmm, such a familiar plot...

That’s not right. It’s not a broken engagement. I’m just changing my partner.

"But I'm not the reincarnation of a soldier king. I can't drive a tank!"

Wang Xi rolled his eyes secretly.

No, I can't stay in this damn place anymore.

It’s better to run away as soon as possible!
...

...

After bathing, the two maids carefully changed Wang Xi into a set of luxurious clothes.

White linen lining, black and gold silk clothes.

They silently gazed at Lord Kai before them. The young man was striking in appearance and noble in temperament, but his pale face was expressionless, his eyes hollow.

The maids looked at each other, and pity flashed across their faces.

Then, the two men supported Wang Xi on the left and right and sent him to the room upstairs in the castle.

Bang.

The door closed, leaving Wang Xi lying on the bed.

He waited for a while, and after making sure that there was no one outside the door, he stood up and stopped pretending to be stupid.

What exactly is "Bing Xin Ren"?

Wang Xi thought about it.

He felt that it was necessary for him to figure this out, after all, this projection was his capital for exploring the other world.

Looking around, Wang Xi noticed that there were some large books placed on the simple bookcase on one side of the room.

Since even the maids knew it, it wasn't a secret. Perhaps the answer could be found in the book.

So he walked to the bookcase and started flipping through the books.

The language of this alien world was very unfamiliar, but perhaps because of Caius, Wang Xi could understand it easily.

But after flipping through several books, he didn't see a single word about "Bing Xinren" or "Curse".

Wang Xi's frown deepened.

Time passed by minute by minute.

He suddenly heard a commotion downstairs, as well as the sound of horse hooves and wheels.

"It must be the Count or Sera who has returned to the castle."

Wang Xi said inwardly.

He immediately quickened his search.

at last.

He found the answer he wanted in a church book called "The Gospel of Elos".

The message is hidden in the title page of this Bible—

"The devil once had a mirror that could turn good people into bad people, girls into old women, and heroes into cowards..."

"The devil shines a mirror everywhere, making the world a mess. He is very proud of the chaotic world and finally plans to use the mirror to shine on God, making God a funny clown."

"The devil continued to fly towards the sky, but was stopped by the angel Angel at the gate of heaven, and a fierce battle ensued between the two."

"The devil was ultimately defeated, and the mirror in his hand was shattered by Angel's sword. Countless mirror fragments fell to the earth, freezing as they passed through the clouds. When they landed on people, they froze their hearts."

"Those unlucky souls who were hit by the debris became increasingly weaker and weaker, their personalities becoming increasingly cold, and before long, they died."

"Of course, there are a few 'lucky ones' who are temporarily parasitized by the fragments. After several years or even decades, their hearts slowly begin to freeze." "Rumor has it that this is a test from God. If they pass, they are qualified to embark on the pilgrimage to heaven."

"..."

Wang Xi closed the Bible.

The content on the title page is more like a fairy tale fable.

He silently pulled up his clothes and looked down at his chest. Soon, his pupils shrank.

I saw a blue light appearing where the heart was, flickering.

It seems to flicker with the heartbeat.

'So, this story is true in a sense?'

Wang Xi seemed to be thinking about something.

Of course, he hadn't forgotten the name of this other world: "Fairy Tale." Perhaps even the most absurd and outrageous things wouldn't be surprising here.

But when he thought that this projection would not live long, he felt a headache.

Because Wang Xi had no idea if Caius could create another one if the projection died. He also had no idea if this meant he would forever lose the right to walk into the other world.

Faced with the main world shrouded in natural disasters, he regarded this ability as a reliance and opportunity that must be grasped firmly.

'We must find a way to break this curse!'

Wang Xi took a deep breath.

"But the most urgent thing is to leave here."

At this moment, he heard footsteps outside the door, getting closer and closer.

whoosh-

Wang Xi put the Bible back into the bookcase and quickly lay back on the bed.

In just a second, he adjusted himself, his face expressionless and his eyes blank.

creak-

The door opened.

A pretty figure walked over slowly.

With her blonde hair tied up and wearing a blue velvet dress, Sera looked haggard and sat down beside the bed.

She looked at the young man on the bed silently with complicated eyes.

Wang Xi took a quick glance and was shocked.

How come this Miss Sera has the Mangekyō Sharingan?
Looking more closely, it is not the Mangekyō Sharingan at all. The eyes clearly show three parts of nostalgia, three parts of pity and three parts of indifference!
And a hint of disgust!

"...Wendy loves you more than I do, Kai."

At this time, Sera was talking to herself in front of the bed.

"In the end, she couldn't bear to hurt you. Even when she left with the northerners, she warned my father to treat you well."

"For some reason, after this nightmarish experience, I no longer seem to admire and love you as much as I once did... Perhaps it's just as my father said, in such a chaotic world, if you're not strong enough, then find someone stronger to protect you."

"So I agreed to my father's arrangement and married the Duke of the North."

Saying this, Sera took a deep breath.

She seemed relieved, and also seemed to have strengthened some kind of belief in her heart. When she looked at the young man again, her eyes became very cold.

"Don't worry. Although you've become a stupid useless person, you're still the heir of the Farrell family. After you marry Sister Lena, your father will ensure that you live out the remaining days of your life with dignity."

After saying that, Sera stood up silently.

Then leave without looking back.

"Sierra."

At this moment, a hoarse call came from the bed.

The girl in the blue dress shuddered and stopped at the door.

She turned her head and saw the young man sitting up with difficulty, a look of confusion on his face.

"Where am I?" Wang Xi asked weakly. "Also, my chest hurts..."

Sera was silent for a few seconds, then asked softly:
"you're awake?"

"Yeah. I just opened my eyes and saw you. This isn't a dream, is it?"

Wang Xi forced a smile.

Sera looked him over carefully and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It wasn't a dream," she said. "But you're still very weak, so lie down a little longer... Also, someone will come to explain everything to you later."

"There should be nothing wrong with my body!"

Wang Xi hurriedly got out of bed, but almost fell down.

Sera took a few steps forward and supported him.

Looking at the young man's eagerness to prove himself, Sera somehow found him ridiculous.

Gay is still the same as before, competitive and unwilling to admit defeat, like a child who will never grow up.

"I want to go down for a walk, Sierra."

Wang Xi smiled at the girl.

"Exercising will also help you recover faster."

"Whatever you want," Sera said calmly. "But don't go too far, or else something unexpected might happen."

Wang Xi naturally agreed.

After a while.

He walked alone through the castle's streets. The walls and some wooden fences were badly damaged, likely from a previous battle with the Northmen. Craftsmen, grooms, and maids hurried to and fro, appearing to be very busy.

Wang Xi noticed that some armored guards who were chatting against the wall would glance at him from time to time.

There were also a few people following not far behind him.

His heart sank.

Under these circumstances, leaving Randall would not be so easy. Earl Barto would definitely not let him go easily.

"How do I escape?"

Wang Xi narrowed his eyes and thought, and soon came up with an idea.
