The Whispering Verses Chapter 1781: The story of the reunion of a witch and a ghoul

Shad made no mistake this time. Although the chain on his right hand was avoided by the ghoul in a posture that exceeded the physical limits of ordinary people, the chain on his left hand still successfully locked the left foot of the ghoul. But then, it cut off its own foot with its claws, and the dark blood stained the expensive carpet. Then the corpse struggled to escape again, but this time he had no chance.

"Space Stability Halo! Don't leave, I really don't mean any harm!"

Shad pounced directly on him this time. The corpse rolled over on the carpet to avoid it, and rushed toward the ceiling with the roast chicken in its mouth, but was immediately pulled down by Shad's hand.

The two rolled into a ball, and Shade didn't care about the stench on the other's body, locking the other's limbs and trying to wrestle. Unexpectedly, the ghoul actually had similar thoughts. He also used ground fighting skills to try to lock Shade and was full of confidence in himself.

While the two were concentrating on wrestling, the locked door at the end of the carpet was suddenly opened outward. Before Shade and the corpse ghost could raise their heads to look, the power of the confined space acted on Sha De and the corpse ghost at the same time.

"Who is so bold? Don't you know where this is?"

The voice of a woman scolding came. Although she had not yet appeared, the powerful force had already made the entangled people and undead nervous.

Black high-heeled shoes stepped out from the left side of the door, and then a beautiful lady wearing a purple dress and long black hair walked in menacingly. Her appearance is brighter than the brightest flowers in spring. Even though she is so angry at this time, it does not affect her beauty at all.

Miss Emma Sylvia maintained her left hand in a spell-casting gesture and scolded angrily:

"Who is it? The Order of the Drowned? The Society of Truth? Or the Tyranny Club? No, no matter who you are, if you dare to break in, don't even think about it... huh?"

Then I saw clearly what was happening in front of me.

I saw Shade, who was suppressing the ghoul with his body, looking back at her. The ghoul, who was suppressed by Shade and bound by chains, still had a steaming roast chicken in his mouth, "Space "The great witch" Miss Emma Sylvia was stunned. She thought about various possibilities of meeting Shade again in the Green Lake area, but she never thought it would be this kind of scene.

"Good morning, Detective... may I help?"

"Of course, come and help me. Mr. Green, stop struggling, I really don't want to hurt you!"

In short, although frequent space casting caused unexpected space anomalies, fortunately, the space transfer was not very far, and it happened to be moved to the manor where Princess Margaret stayed. Of course, Miss Sylvia later thought that this was no coincidence, because she was just doing experiments on space cracks on the underground level. Maybe this was the reason why Shade and the corpse Mr. Green appeared unexpectedly.

The location here is the city of glass on the south bank of Green Lake - Michaela Blast Furnace City. The person in charge of the Kasenlik negotiating delegation this time is Duke Simil, who leads the team. The Duke is a distant relative of the Anjou royal family, and can be considered Margaret's uncle. But it is a pity that the Duke arranged for Samuel Anjou, the eldest prince of Carsenlick, to live with him, but arranged for Margaret to live in another manor.

This was not because Duke Simil believed that Samuel Anjou must be the next king, or that Margaret was not as capable as her brother. This is purely because the Duke is a supporter of traditional ideas and dislikes allowing royal women to participate in politics.

But Margaret didn't care about this either. She had already held a ceremony and officially became the apprentice of the Earth Witch Miss Bernanice. Miss Benenice and Siris led the "Golden Dawn Opera House" in Willendale City, and have completed her preliminary education. Now Her Royal Highness is fascinated by the power of the witch, and the idea of ​​fighting for power has been suspended.

However, it happened that Margaret needed to attend a meeting this morning, so she had left. Now only Miss Sylvia and a few maids are left in the house. Otherwise, the appearance of Shade and the ghoul just now will definitely cause more trouble. Big movement.

Shadow had no time to say hello to Miss Sylvia, who had reunited after a long absence, so he asked her if there was a suitable place to talk. Then, carrying the chained corpse on his back, he followed the witch through the corridor to the basement, which was also her and Margaret's laboratory.

Shad turned on the [Space Stability Halo] again, and Miss Sylvia also arranged a ritual to prohibit space movement. After making sure that the corpse ghost would not escape again by asking "blink if you agree", Sha De finally released his chains.

Sitting on the stool against the wall, with the dual ceremony of "space confinement" and "undead killer" under him, the corpse finally took out the roast chicken from his mouth.

Although his appearance is terrifying, his expression and the rationality in his eyes that represent intelligent life are the same as those of a normal person. Nicholas Green sighed, looked at Shade with his turbid yellow eyes rather sharply, and then asked in an extremely hoarse voice:

"You just said that you know Helena and Sauron?"

He was finally willing to talk.

Shad stood in front of the corpse and talked to him. Miss Sylvia, who looked curious, was sitting at the experimental table not far away. The alcohol lamp on the table was still heating a green fluorescent liquid. liquid.

Xia De did not completely relax his vigilance. Fortunately, with the big witch behind him, he could relax mentally.

"Yes, I am friends with them. They are still running your family's hotel, and I also know about Edwards."

Xia De asked puzzledly:

"I don't understand, why did you run away just now? I said I wouldn't hurt you."

The corpse took a few bites of the roasted chicken before continuing to answer:

"Whether you hurt me or not has nothing to do with whether I talk to you. Although I have lived underground for a long time, I am not unaware of what has happened on both sides of Green Lake recently. You are either a member of the church or other ring warlock organizations members. I don’t want to contact you, yes, I don’t want to contact anyone.”

"Why?"

"Because you are definitely no match for our ancestors."

The cloudy yellow eyes look like wild beasts, but the soul behind them is completely sane:

"I became like this, which is inseparable from my ancestors. After my death, I revived in a coffin, then excavated the soil, and accidentally discovered an ancient tomb, and found a complete set of alchemy and magic potions from it equipment, and corresponding book knowledge.”

While chewing the food, he asked Xiang Shade:

"Sir, do you think this is really a coincidence?"

He answered his own question:

"I have been dead for more than 20 years, and I know the past of my family earlier than you. You can't defeat your ancestors, you absolutely can't."

He shook his swollen head and took another bite of the roast chicken:

"So, I try not to have contact with anyone and just wait for the day of family reunion."

"You are a pessimist."

Xia De commented:

"I have met a lot of descendants of the Edwards family. But except for you, everyone is working hard to prepare for the last thing, using your ancestors as opponents to plan various countermeasures. Why are you so Pessimistic? ”

"Because I have seen my ancestors."

The words of the corpse Nicholas Green immediately shocked Shade and Miss Sylvia.

"What?"

The witch couldn't help but stand up:

"Have you seen the Thirteen Rings fortune teller? Is he on the island or outside the island?"

"Outside the island, in the ancient tomb where I live."

He did not lie to the two of them:

"It was the winter of the second year after I woke up. He took the initiative to see me and told me some family history. At first, like the living family members you mentioned, I wanted to resist him. But he easily overpowered me. That's when I knew his power."

The corpse took a long breath, its body trembling with instinctive fear. But in fact, undead creatures should not have the emotion of fear, so Nicholas Green's current form may be related to the experiment of the thirteen-ring soothsayer.

"He talked to me for a long time, briefly told the history of the Edwards family, and asked me if I wanted to go back with him. I didn't agree, and he didn't force me, but let me live in that ancient mansion. In the tomb, I can occasionally help him with some things and say that he will go back one day."

"What task?"

Miss Sylvia asked.

"Every few months, I will help him steal specific corpses from the Green Lake City Public Cemetery and replace them with other corpses. Because the total number of corpses remains the same, and I only operate underground, I will also steal them from the underground. The stolen body was transferred to the water ghost in the lake, so no one noticed it until now."

He did not hide what he had done:

"Do you want to blame me for stealing the corpse? Let me emphasize first that I do not eat people or corpses. I only eat the meat of cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks."

After speaking, he took another bite of roast chicken.

"I need a list of the corpses you have stolen. And, did your ancestor say anything else?"

Xia De grasped the key point, and the corpse nodded, but did not say it immediately:

"You must promise to let me leave for a while. I still live near the cemetery. If you want to find me, go to the shabby house and call my name."

"No problem."

Shad nodded. He had no intention of restricting the freedom of the father of the Green siblings. As for stealing corpses, although this is definitely wrong, you can't ask too much from an inhuman corpse.

The corpse ghost did not ask Shade to swear, but said directly:

"My ancestor said a lot back then, and I have gradually figured out some things over the years. He intended to increase the... types of family members."

"What?"

Xia De did not understand this sentence, and Miss Sylvia frowned slightly. The big witch obviously thought of something:

"Does he want to plan some kind of large-scale ceremony? Family members are ritual symbols, so there need to be enough varieties?"
