"Want to die? How can it be so easy?"

The cards in front of him fell, and the yellow-haired middle-aged man who had been pierced through his heart looked at Xia De in front of him in astonishment. The life ring on the man's back dissipated, but before he died, Xia De's hand touched it:

"False Immortals!"

Then he gave a sudden push, causing the man to lie on the ground. Xia De gritted his teeth and held the sword in both hands, and the two swords chopped off the opponent's two palms. Without his two hands, the severely injured Ring Warlock had no chance of making a comeback.

Looking at those two hands, the outsider who did this kind of thing for the first time felt very disgusted. Turn around and pick up the water glass on the table and lightly touch it, a silver aura emerges on the surface of the water. Xia De poured the cup of hot tea on the man's wound to prevent him from losing the state of [False Immortality] due to excessive bleeding:

"I'll ask, you'll answer."

"You...you don't want to get any answers from me! Everything is for the Lord of the Scarlet Spiral! Kill me."

A meager vitality remained in his body, and his voice was very weak.

"Kill you? Kill you and I can channel your soul. Whether you are alive or dead, don't even try to keep it a secret."

"Then kill me, my soul is favored by my lord, you don't want to get any news!"

Although weak, he still stared at Xia De with hatred eyes.

"die?"

The corner of Xia De's mouth trembled. If he was not afraid of something happening to Leiziya, he would never do such a cruel thing:

"Do you know what it feels like to be stuffed to death after drinking water?"

Xia De shook the water glass in his hand, and more and more clear water appeared under the power of the spell.

"You devil!"

A weak voice cursed.

"I'm not trying to torture you, it doesn't make sense, I want you to realize one thing."

Xia De has already squatted down, his back is facing the gas lamp on the wall, which makes the face in the shadows extraordinarily terrifying:

"You are the guardian of the murlocs - a follower of the Lord of the Scarlet Spiral. If you, as a family member of this great one, were choked to death by water or even swelled to death in the end, do you think that **** will kill you after you die? Do you admit your identity?"

For the first time, a frightened expression appeared on the man's face:

"you you......"

"Will He protect your soul forever?"

"You devil!"

"No, at least based on my mortal thinking, it shouldn't be possible."

There was no smile on Xia De's face:

"But [God of the Abyss Drowned] would be willing to take your soul away, sir, since you are a believer in the evil **** of Lengshuigang, you should also know that great one, he is very interested in the drowned murlocs of...especially the drowned merfolk of Coldwater Harbor"

"no no!"

Because of the spell thrown at the door, no one knows what happened next in the room. When Xia De opened the door and walked out, he was holding the corpse doll with a severed hand in his hand. In the room behind him, the carpet was rolled up and put aside to prevent the blood from scaring the maids who came to clean up the room.

Shad walked quickly along the corridor:

"The Scarlet Esoteric Cult wants to offer sacrifices to the sea when the red ocean appears tomorrow. In addition to the voluntary human believers in the sect and the citizens captured by them, there is also a woman of noble birth, As the final prelude to the 'return from the sea' ceremony."

This is the information Xia De received just now. The other party still revealed some information under the fear of the soul being seized by the Ability God. But before he could finish speaking, he died. It wasn't because of the injury, he was scared to death.

People in this world have a completely different attitude towards beliefs than foreigners.

In the violent night rain outside the window, Shad walked through the corridor with windows on one side:

"This kind of sacrifice is not a necessary step of 'returning the sea', but a ceremony similar to blessing...The ceremony of returning the sea will start when the first ray of sunshine shines on Lengshui Harbor tomorrow, and the sacrifice will also It started at that moment. In addition to Rezia, the Scarlet Esoteric Cult has five or six targets, one of which is..."

Xia De looked in the direction of the city:

"Xi Wei Aurora."

He called the servants to tidy up the messy study, while he stood in the corridor and watched the heavy rain outside the window:

"Things are getting more and more interesting."

Although the torrential rain lasted all night, the small-scale battle around Sofia's mansion only lasted half an hour before it ended.

A steady stream of support came, so that the attackers had to abandon the target. In particular, there has been no news from the assailant who entered Sophia's mansion, which makes the house with lights on in the night rain and sea breeze look extraordinarily weird.

The great witch with the twelve rings was with Rezia, Xia De's worries were relieved a lot, so he didn't go out in the rain.

He originally wanted to wait until Rezia came back to rest, but after midnight, when the time came to Wednesday, the princess's carriage had not yet appeared at the gate of the manor. And the servants who were sent to inquire about the news came from the rain that the city was under martial law, and horse-drawn carriages were allowed to leave the city, but they were not allowed to enter the city.

Sophia's mansion was attacked by murlocs, and the same accident probably happened in the city. However, not being able to hear about Leiziya made Xia De, who thought nothing would happen, feel uneasy again:

"Even if the murloc's attack didn't hurt Rezia before dawn, if she doesn't come back overnight, then I won't be able to be by her side when the ceremony begins."

After midnight, Xia De rested in the room for two hours. After waking up, he greeted the maid left behind by Rezia, and left the house in a carriage.

But he didn't enter the city, but let the carriage drive him to the Sea Cliff Lighthouse, which is also located in the north of the city. When Rezia took the pseudonym Miss Princes, she brought Shad here once, and the guard here was Mr. Edmond, a folklorist.

Holding an umbrella and struggling to watch the lighthouse light in the rain, I climbed all the way to the top of the sea cliff. After putting on the mask and knocking on the door for a long time, Mr. Edmond's vigilant voice appeared behind the door:

"who is it?"

"Introduced by old John of Tobesk!"

Shad said.

The last time I came with Rezia, Rezia mentioned half of Papa John's name. At that time, Xia De didn't know the secret of the writer and the princess, so he didn't think much about it, but later he understood.

"Don't lie to me! Hmph, even if he introduced this kind of rainy day, no one would knock on the door so late in the rain!"

The old man behind the door said dissatisfied.

"It was really introduced by him. Last time I came, remember? You came back from fishing that day, but there was only one small fish in the bucket. My companion bought a Saint Laurent ring, and I sold you a book. "

Xia De shouted loudly, the rain here is really too heavy.

"Oh? There's this thing..."

The old man inside the door is hesitating.

"Old John! Papa John, that stingy fellow, oh, I've never seen such a stingy man in my life."

The door was pushed open suddenly, before Xia De could react, the old man's strong hand pulled Xia De in.

Obviously the lighthouse is dilapidated, but the interior is only separated by a wooden door, but it is extremely dry and warm.

Old Man Edmund was in pajamas, with a coat draped over his shoulders, and a kerosene lamp in his hand. He frowned slightly, and looked at Xia De under the lamp:

"Yes, he is indeed the meanest guy in the world. It seems that you are indeed his friend, young man, what are you doing so late? Do you think I am the same age as you?"

The old man complained, but let Xia De find a place to sit down, and found a dry towel for him.

The bottom area of ​​the lighthouse is the residential area of ​​the tower keepers. Although the area is not large, it can meet the needs of life.

Xia De took the towel and wiped his hair:

"Sorry to bother you so late. Return the sea. The red sea will appear at dawn today."

"Oh? So what?"

The old man sat on the chair in front of the desk and asked, the lighthouse was actually connected to the gas pipeline, and he turned on the gas lamp on the desk.

Xia De took a deep breath and put the towel on the back of the chair:

"You must know more about the return ceremony of the sea. When I came with that lady last time, you didn't fully explain it."

Edmond looked at him quietly, his eyes were not cloudy like ordinary old people:

"so what?"

"I have money."

"But you need to convince me to agree to this deal."

"Light Guiding Priory."

Amid the terrifying sound of waves hitting the cliff outside the lighthouse, Shad gave the answer. Mr. Edmond narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and then relaxed:

"John probably wouldn't have told you that."

Through the "Tree Kiss" transaction, Xia De knew that Papa John belonged to the "Guiding Light Priest", and the latter even wanted to know Xia De's expression when he knew this. And Edmund of Coldwater Harbor, like Old John of Tobesk, runs a secret ring warlock black market shop ~lightnovelpub.net~ Both are knowledgeable but unwilling to do other things.

Therefore, it is not troublesome to speculate that Papa John's friend, Mr. Edmond, who can introduce business to each other, is also a member of the "Light Guiding Priory".

"What does it matter? I don't care about your secrets. I only know that as long as I pay, you can always help. I don't have any resistance to your preparations for doomsday survival."

Xia De stared into the old man's eyes from behind the mask.

"What do you want to know?"

Probably seeing his determination, the old man pondered for a while before asking in a low voice.

"It's very simple, my friend. That lady has the mermaid curse on her body. Now that I know, I can use a fishing rod and fishing line to restrain her impulse to enter the red ocean. Besides, is there any other way. "

Xia De said quickly.

"No."

The old man shook his head, and Xia De didn't care, because he didn't come to ask this question, this question was just to make a detour and prepare the other party:

"I still want to know..."

He lowered his voice subconsciously:

"The original intention of the Sea Return Ceremony is to awaken the power left by the evil **** in the deep sea, so as to summon the flood to submerge the city. So what did the gods leave behind?"

Lightning flashed across the window, and white light illuminated the faces of the two from the window. The waves rumbled, but were suppressed by the thunder.

The storm is coming.
