Chapter 188 Marriage Memories (Ten Thousand Words for Pursuit)
An illusory figure slowly appeared with its back to the witcher. She was wearing the black dress that Alice had worn when she died, with a black veil covering her face. This is a mourning dress.
She looked at the painting of Alice and Olgierd. The two people in the painting had warm smiles.
She is the spirit incarnated by Alice.
Her face was covered with black gauze, her hands were folded on her lower abdomen, and she stood elegantly and dignified. Lan En could not see her current expression, but felt that the other person's body gave him a fragile feeling that seemed to dissipate at any time.
For a long time, the demon spirit seemed to be awakened by the painting. She stretched out her fingertips and touched the painting board gently. Then bright white spots appeared on the canvas and gradually spread until the painting was completely gone. It became something else.
Lann looked intently and saw that the content on the painting had suddenly changed from the portrait of the couple to their home - Everrick Manor.
It is not a place that is full of ghosts and clouds at the moment, like a dark magic manor; it is a noble mansion with bright sunshine and blooming flowers.
Just looking at this painting, everyone seems to be able to hear the chirping of insects and birds in midsummer, full of life.
It was only now that the dark wind in the manor spread again, and everyone's consciousness was blown back. As soon as he looked up, he saw the demon spirit transformed by Alice gently placing his palm on the painting. His whole body turned into green ashes and was gradually absorbed into the painting.
The witchers looked at each other.
The cat and dog were indifferent when Alice came out. It was only then that they gathered in front of the drawing board and explained:
"This is the world in the painting and the world of dreams. The independent space condensed by the works created by Alice, She is sleeping inside. If you want to find Alice's home, you have to go find her here."
Lann nodded, motioned to the witcher behind him, and took the lead in imitating Alice's soul and pressing his hand on the drawing board. on, and then there was a feeling of dizziness.
Landing and retching, Lan instantly felt as if he had passed through the portal for the first time.
He looked back and saw that the five demon hunters who suddenly appeared had the same reaction as him.
Lan suddenly realized that this was a problem. Demon hunters were overly sensitive to portal dizziness due to their overly sharp senses, just like motion sickness in previous generations. But what if the enemy catches this weakness one day? Is it possible to remove this weakness through desensitization training?
What you see in front of you is the Everec Manor, which is similar to the one in the painting just now. It looks neat and lively, obviously before Olgierd left. Lann looked up and could see wisps of aurora-like blue-green halos surrounding the horizon, reminding everyone that this world was actually an illusion.
The demon hunters behind him recovered from their dizziness. Lei Suo tentatively grabbed a handful of soil on the ground, and was surprised: "Being able to independently create such an illusory world, but only using a painting as a carrier, this kind of I have never heard of this..."
"I thought that turning into a demon spirit based on resentment after death was the limit, but I didn't expect that a world could be created... Could it be that this Mrs. Alice is also a black man like her husband? Master of magic?"
Lann shook his head and sighed: "The magic in this world is always so wonderful. Some warlocks who spend hundreds of years learning may not be able to defeat a magic-blocking golden dagger, but some ordinary people can rely on it. My pure and powerful emotions created the wonders in front of me."
Before Kaiyan's brain recovered from the dizziness, his five senses were suddenly affected by the breath of the black cat and black dog.
The pair of demons possessing small animals actually followed in.
"Your sensory abilities seem to be very strong, and now is the time to use them. This world is made up of vague, withered memories, things that the mistress is trying to forget but cannot get rid of. You need to find these nightmares of the past Only by destroying the memories can the mistress be awakened."
Kai Yan smiled and said: "This script is a bit like a fairy tale, but shouldn't this situation be the scene where the prince awakens the princess?" "
Really? If you think about it that way." Lann said, "Actually, we went to find the princess to help kill the prince."
Leisuo said expressionlessly: "I don't think Olgierd is a prince, he is worse than you."
The cat and the dog were talking. After finishing his words, he disappeared into the air and disappeared without a trace.
Everyone looked at the world again and found that there were many insects with yellow bright spots flying in disorder in the air, and black mist slowly pouring out of the ground. They looked far into the distance, but found that the houses not far away were blurred, and only the houses in the distance were blurred. The scenery in front of them gave them a slightly more physical feeling.
In front of you is a maze-like garden. It seems that it would not be complete unless the guests are stunned in it. Almost all manors will have such a package.
In the pavilion in this garden, there are two figures standing still like sculptures.
It was a couple. The husband was sitting on the bench with a sad face, staring at his empty hands, as if there was something in them that could free him from his troubles; the wife's face was filled with happiness. Laughing, smearing the home of yourself and your lover on the drawing board, wanting to record it all.
Since Lann entered this world, the vibration of the badge on his neck has not stopped. He easily distinguished the nature of the two "people" in front of him-magical creations.
Kolgrim swung his sword and tried to slash at Olgierd's figure, and the silver sword cut through the void without any hindrance.
"It's the phantoms of Alice and Olgierd. There don't seem to be any clues here. Why don't we stop looking for clues?"
The black cat and the black dog suddenly appeared again, explaining to everyone: "It's not a phantom, this is the male master. The reflection of memories with the mistress is also the beginning of the mistress’s nightmare. This reflection is not complete. Only by carefully repairing this memory can we continue to penetrate into the mistress’ nightmare and finally see her." Lann concluded: "That is to
say We can't see the next memory before repairing this reflection. We can only do it one by one, right, just like a decryption game?" The
cat and dog answered together: "Yes."
Everyone looked around, and now they can Understand why the house not far away is blurry, but the garden and pavilion under their feet have solidity.
Kolgrim sighed: "I thought we had entered a painting, but it turned out that we were actually entering a woman's dream."
Keyan nodded in approval: "What you said is a bit like poetry."
Looking for clues is What witchers do best, they are all born detectives. The six demon hunters opened their senses together and searched together in the pavilion, which could only accommodate a dozen people. Soon everyone discovered something unusual.
"The mistress is painting the manor." Oaks stepped forward, "It's the one we came in. It's exactly the same."
Serret fell into deep thought: "There are disks, palettes and a book on the ground. These things shouldn't be all Thrown it on the ground?"
Lann glanced at the empty table and Olgierd's eyes staring at his hands: "Repairing memories means returning these things to their original places, right? Alice fell into a deep sleep because The position of these details has been ignored, and we need to correct them."
Serrit spread the book and placed it in Olgierd's hand, letting his searching eyes look directly at the text; then he put the palette on On the table, Alice, who is drawing, can turn around and reach it.
Before he could think about where to place the disk, the memory reflection in front of him that was originally like a sculpture suddenly rippled, and the illusory body gradually solidified.
The witcher threw the disc aside casually: "This doesn't seem important."
Lan took a step back and watched the memory reflection in front of him begin to replay the beginning of Alice's nightmare.
.........
The breeze blows and the fragrance of flowers floats.
Olgierd sat on the chair, saying nothing, staring at the book in his hand. But he hadn't turned the pages of the book for a long time, and his thoughts had wandered to nowhere.
Alice turned her back to him, unaware of her husband's distress. Or she thinks this is just a temporary dissatisfaction in life, and she will soon be able to see her husband's smiling face again.
"Shall we get a dog? Or a cat and a dog together." Alice suddenly suggested, "When it rains, the dog can help me warm my feet, and the cat can play with the yarn ball by the stove. What do you think?" Alice
? While applying bright colors on the canvas with a pen, he said with a smile, his tone full of longing for the scene he painted. As she spoke, there were clear bird calls from time to time around her.
But after waiting for a long time, she didn't hear her husband's reply. When she turned around, she saw him staring at a book in a daze.
Alice complained dissatisfiedly: "Are you listening to me?"
Olgierd finally woke up as if from a dream: "I'm sorry, dear. I was too absorbed in reading."
Alice pursed her lips, suddenly feeling a little confused. Sadness: "Is that book so good?"
Olgierd didn't even raise his head: "Sorry, you're right, this is actually a very bad book... Let's go back?" "
Why? The weather is so hot today Okay? The birds are singing, the bees are buzzing... it's very picturesque. You seem to have something on your mind recently, and this kind of environment can make you feel better."
Olgierd, however, avoided his wife's expectant eyes with confusion. , said: "I'm a little uncomfortable, so I'm going back first. If you like the weather today, just stay alone for a while."
After that, he staggered away without waiting for his wife's response.
Alice seemed to want to retain the other party, but she still hesitated looking at the tired back. Her eyes were full of loss and worry.
…………
The memory ends.
Lan En raised his head as if feeling something, and saw that the manor under the clear sky suddenly became darker, and the clouds in the sky blocked the sun.
There was also a cold wind blowing, rustling the treetops, and just hearing it made people feel chilly.
"Buzz--"
I saw a garden path extending from the pavilion suddenly turned from unreal to solid. It was obviously the location of Alice's next memory.
As the path solidified, large clusters of dense yellow bright spots emerged from the bushes. They were like spots splashed by a novice painter with paint, but they made a sound like a bee.
"Buzz -"
"The birds are singing, the bees are buzzing..." Lann raised his left hand, "But today is not a good weather."
[Igni Seal]!
The cone-shaped flame surged away everything in sight, igniting the densely packed bees that were almost like a yellow barrier.
This number of bees was enough to bury the entire pavilion airtight, and Lan didn't want to try to get close to them.
"Let's go!"
Lann took the lead, keeping his left hand stretched forward and moving forward. The garden path was densely covered with swarms of bees, and Lann kept spraying fire streams, opening a flame path for everyone.
"Are you okay?" After going back and forth for a long time, Lei Suo suddenly said, "You have used [Igni] more than a dozen times, right?"
Lann glanced at his system bar - [Mana: 3033 /3400]
"It's early. I'm a griffin, remember?"
Lann drove away the bees in front of him without changing his expression, and soon arrived at the edge of a fountain.
When everyone stepped in here, they immediately felt like there was something there. An invisible barrier isolates the bees from the outside. Obviously Alice's memories don't want bees to appear here - or there will be new things in the future.
There were still Olgierd and Alice in front of them, but they seemed to be a little earlier than the previous timeline in the garden pavilion.
The couple looked younger at this time, and even a smile that could be described as "happiness" could be seen on Olgierd's face.
"It seems that this is the second memory." Lann looked at the two of them, "What do you think they are doing in this memory?" The
demon hunter looked at them. At this moment, the couple stood facing each other, and Ogier De seemed to be handing something to Alice, holding it empty-handed.
"I think this time I am looking for the thing in Olgierd's hand." Kolgrim said, "And I think I have found it." The
amber snake eyes turned from bright to dark, closing the demon hunter's senses. He raised his hands, each holding a wine glass.
Two wine glasses were thrust into the hands of the couple. Soon, the two shadows solidified in front of everyone's eyes again.
.........
"I hope you are in good health, my dear wife."
Olgierd's eyes reflected the beautiful lover in front of him, with a gentleness and smile that he had never seen before.
"Same for you, my husband."
Alice put on delicate makeup and could hardly bear to take her eyes away from her husband's face.
The two of them each held a wine glass in their hands, touched it slightly, and then raised their heads to drink.
This is a wedding, and the health blessings and the wine they drank are the last part of the wedding.
Olgierd put down his wine glass and looked around sadly, his eyes full of guilt for his wife:
"In my hometown, the custom stipulates that newlyweds must serve guests with salt and bread... But there is no one around us now. This is a long time." A blessed marriage."
"You are enough for me, nothing else is what I ask for." Alice slowly stepped forward and hugged her husband's neck, "This is the happiest time in my life, I really hope This moment can be frozen forever."
Olgierd hugged his wife and smiled fondly: "If this is your wish, then I will find a way."
Alice did not care about her husband's promise, only thinking that he was just talking to her. Just as happy and made a little joke.
"Come, take a look at our future home."
Olgierd made an inviting gesture, and in the direction he indicated, a house gradually solidified from a phantom to a solid one.
Alice was led by the hand and walked on the road, and whispered hesitantly: "I know it sounds stupid, but this house has been empty for a long time, could it be..."
Olgierd interrupted his wife confidently: " You are afraid of spiders, I know. They have been cleaned up long ago and I threw them all into the garden."
After hearing this, Alice's face burst into an even happier smile:
"My knight, you are always so comprehensive."
...
The two phantoms of memories moved towards the main building of the manor. Lann and others followed a few steps at first, but they suddenly stopped again.
In the gaps between shrubs and flowers, there was a huge black shadow passing through.
"Qiang——"
The demon hunters drew their weapons together.
Immediately afterwards, several black illusory spiders as tall as humans tore apart the plants and swooped out!
Before they could get even two steps away from the crowd, Lan was already standing at the front of the team, waiting for them. He raised his left hand flat, and a surging heat wave brewed in his palm.
[Igni Seal·Magic Explosion]!
The violent flames, which far exceeded those before, swallowed up all the spiders in an instant, and even set off a huge impact to knock back their unburned bodies.
The hot flames brought about a violent backflow of air, which made the witcher behind Lan make his hair dance wildly.
Kolgrim wiped his face: "Isn't this the same power you used when burning bees?"
"Different enemies use different powers...be careful!"
The ground beneath his feet rumbled and shook, and there was a black illusory spider that seemed to be on the ground. A dragon burst out of the ground, and along the tunnel it dug, there was an endless stream of small spiders as big as fists crawling out of it.
"This is not Alice's nightmare. People are happily holding a wedding, and we are here to kill spiders." Kian pulled out his silver sword and dodged to avoid the spider's attack. "I think this is simply our nightmare. !"
Lann slapped the ground, and the huge [Arden's Seal] enveloped the six demon hunters, so that every spider that rushed towards them would be weakened and slowed down.
"Judging from the scene just recalled, this wedding was before they had a dispute, when Olgierd was still relatively young." Lan split the spider with a sword, and then added a flame, "Maybe it was They had a happy time, so the disasters that happened later will make people more sad and eventually become Alice's nightmare." At
this time, a large number of spiders were weakened by Lann's [Arden's Seal] and were hunted The demon was killed, and more spiders were injured or even killed by purple lightning while wandering outside.
Those spider monsters seemed to have intelligence. Seeing this, they actually started spitting spider silk at Lann and others from a distance!
There was a "whoosh", as if someone shot an arrow without an arrow. Kolgrim was pulling the sword out of the corpse of a spider. He only heard a sound of wind in his ears and the protection on his body was shattered. The hand holding the sword was immediately stuck to the body by white spider silk.
"What did these spiders eat to grow so big over the years? Chaos energy?" Kolgrim shouted as he backed away, took out his dagger and began to quickly cut the spider silk on his arm. The other snake sect partners had a tacit understanding to protect him behind him and block the chasing spiders.
"There are too many, and this will go on forever!"
Leisuo and Lann looked at each other and nodded tacitly. Then the two of them retreated together, and conveniently pulled over Kian, who was in the middle of a fierce battle, and joined the three soldiers of the Snake Faction. One place.
The illusory spider rushed forward regardless, and Lan En and Lei Suo simultaneously stretched their left hands forward and made mysterious gestures.
[Alder Seal] + [Igni Seal·Magic Explosion]!
The palm that was nearly twice as big as Lan spewed out a strong storm, sweeping the earth with the heat of flames that reappeared in the field. The fire took advantage of the wind and swallowed up all the spiders in front of them in the blink of an eye. Even the fountain not far away began to "sizzle" from the heat.
Lann and Leisuo turned their backs to the other four demon hunters, and the remaining four followed the same example, using combinations of seals to fight against the enemy.
With six people back to back as the center, the entire garden around the fountain suddenly turned into a sea of fire.
Trees and flowers crackled and burned into charcoal, then turned into ashes and scattered in the air. Lann and others were worried that one round of flames would not burn the opponent to death, and then the second and third times. They did not give up until there was no screams from the flames.
Everyone except Lan was breathing heavily. Normally, a demon hunter would consume a lot of energy when using his seal. At this moment, several of them were sweating profusely, as if they had just killed several monsters with their swords.
A sharp contrast to the calm and composed Lan.
"Hoo, ho." Keyan calmed down his breathing and suddenly said, "If we do this in other people's memories, will it turn into her nightmare?" After everyone calmed down, Lann hit him several times in a row
. [Alder's Seal] dispersed the flames in front of everyone, and you could still see the spider's body still burning, and the ashes that the body turned into merged with the vegetation.
If this were a real estate, it would be overgrown with weeds next year.
Under their feet, the gravel path that led along the garden to the main building of the manor had solidified.
Pushing open the door and entering, this is the "second time" everyone has entered this building. Different from the dilapidated ruins I saw for the first time, this place is now neat and orderly. It can be seen that the owner here is taking good care of it. There was still a little candlelight coming through from the room on the side. It was obvious that the memory everyone was looking for happened in the direction of the candlelight.
Walking in the direction of the light, a long table appeared in front of everyone.
This is the first time that so many people have appeared in Alice's memories. Before, it was just her and Olgierd. This time, in addition to the two of them, there were three other people, making a total of five people sitting at the long table.
This seemed to be a family dinner. There was a middle-aged man sitting on the main seat. On his left were a middle-aged woman and a young man. On his right were Alice and Olgierd.
There were several expensive silver candlesticks placed on the table, with perfectly cooked roasted suckling pig, fresh grapes, soft white bread and attractively colored cheese. Lane even saw a bottle of Castoravi wine from Toussaint, which cost a lot.
Obviously, the host carefully prepared this dinner.
Seeing the dazzling array of dishes on the table, Kolgrim rubbed his belly: "Do you want us to repair this memory? With so many things, how do we know where to put them?" Lan looked around and soon found the
wall There is an oil painting hanging on it.
Inviting everyone to gather around, the content on this oil painting is clearly the scene of this meal.
Kolgrim frowned and looked around: "Is there a special painter in the house? Is their meal this important?"
Lann shook his head: "This painting may not have been painted, but directly through Ellie. Si's nightmare was revealed. This shows that something happened during this meal that she did not want to see, leaving her with a more profound memory than the scenes outside. We looked at this painting to restore the time when they were dining. The scene should be able to repair this memory."
"Candles." Lei Suo suddenly said, "The candles on the table are different from the ones in the painting."
Lann nodded, and everyone looked back. There was no candlestick on the dining table. One is lit.
After everyone rubbed the flames and compared the oil paintings with their hands to light the candles, the people at this table began to move as before.
.........
The firewood burned slowly in the fireplace, sending warmth into the dining room.
It was supposed to be a joyful family dinner, but the atmosphere seemed to be resisting the temperature, and the expressions of the diners could not be compared to the word "warmth."
Alice looked at her numb-faced husband and her parents, who had been frowning, and took the initiative to ease the atmosphere:
"Father, Mother, I'm really happy that you can come and see me."
The middle-aged man sitting in the main seat looked at the people sitting there. The son-in-law who was beside his daughter had no eye contact between them since they sat down.
The middle-aged woman sitting opposite Alice glanced reproachfully at her husband and her daughter's husband, and asked Alice with concern:
"Are you okay? My dear, you look ugly... I I feel something is wrong."
Alice was wearing a long black dress and rich black eye shadow, and she looked beautiful under the light of the fire. But this black outfit made her look even more pale, as if she was recovering from a serious illness.
"I'm fine. If there's anything wrong, it's that I'm too happy today." Alice said sincerely, "But why didn't grandpa and grandma come? I miss them too." Olgierd listened to his
wife Asking, undisguised impatience suddenly appeared on his numb face, and he even shook his head and turned his gaze to one side.
All this was seen by Alice's mother. She seemed to want to say something, but she held back after looking at the smile on her daughter's face.
But the young man sitting next to her had no scruples. Seeing Olgierd's attitude, he smiled sarcastically and said,
"The old man doesn't like this road. It's long and bumpy... and there's mud everywhere!"
Olgierd said with a sarcastic smile. After hearing this, De turned his eyes back to meet Alice's family for the first time: "They still don't want to see me, right?" The
young man's face stiffened, as if he didn't expect Olgierd to speak so directly.
Alice's father, who was sitting in the main seat, snorted heavily at the young man and cast a warning look at his son, telling him to stop talking.
Olgierd seemed to have started talking, and asked towards the things placed on the table: "What are these, so that you have to bring them here after a long and rugged road?" Alice's
brother took a look. His parents, seeing that none of them had the intention to speak, explained: "We brought some of Alice's favorite things. These are her combs and her favorite dolls." There was a milky white and round doll on the table
. The jade comb and the doll were embroidered with silver thread and pearls, both of which looked expensive. They were in sharp contrast to Alice's slightly plain dress now.
"Besides that, we also brought you a gift, Olgierd." Alice's brother pointed to a document.
Seeing that thing, Alice's face showed a happy smile, while Olgierd's face showed even more impatience.
"Bank document." Olgierd recognized it at a glance.
Alice's mother seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. She stretched out her hand to hold her son's hand, and said to Olgierd: "We paid off the debts of the Everrick family and bought the creditor's rights so that no one from our family would be here. You can't raise your head outside."
Olgierd's face suddenly became calm. He stood up without any disturbance, picked up the bank document, and said while facing the fireplace: "'Dad' and 'Mom' are still here. Remember me, how touching this is."
There was neither warmth nor greasiness in that tone, just a kind of calmness. He glanced back at the people at the table and threw the bank documents into the flames of the fireplace.
Alice's mother suddenly stood up. But Olgierd didn't seem to see her, and strode out of the restaurant minding his own business.
"Ogield..." Alice called her husband, as if she wanted him back, but her tone was full of hesitation.
"Have you seen him? I warned you before the wedding." Alice's mother did not wait for Olgierd to go away before she began to scold her daughter, or perhaps she just wanted her son-in-law to hear it.
"That's what he is. He's just a mediocre guy who makes friends with robbers and thugs! Wouldn't you be afraid to live under the same roof with such thugs? Go home, Alice, before you Can't escape."
Alice looked at her mother with a sad face, shook her head, and turned to look at the door where Olgierd left.
.........
The movements of everyone at the table stopped, and the door where Olgierd left opened again, and a black figure with a scimitar slung across his body walked out.
Lan silently pulled out the Sword of the Lake Lady: "Every time I watch the memories, an enemy appears... I'm already a little impatient."
Leisuo also pulled out the snake-headed silver sword: "I agree."
The golden light and the silver light appeared at the same time. Drawing two arcs and slashing towards the black shadow, this time the enemy was not only human-shaped, but also had the strength of a regular warrior. He was immediately knocked backwards by the two men.
With a "bang", the door he had just closed opened again, and a crossbow arrow quietly came out and penetrated the black shadow's head.
The shadow dissipated. Kian hung his crossbow back on his backpack: "I don't like this house either, hurry up."
Outside the door was the stairs leading to the second floor, and everyone climbed up the stairs and came to the bedroom.
The ghost of Alice's memory fell on the bed, in a daze. Olgierd, on the other hand, was washing his hands in the wooden basin, looking uneasy.
Everyone relied on the witcher's senses to find a blood-stained towel and put it into the tub. The phantom in front of them began to move again.
.........
Alice was only wearing a black silk top this time, which seemed to be pajamas. The neckline of the dress was open all the way to the top of her abdomen, revealing a large area of round, white flesh and two well-proportioned thighs.
Her skin was so pale that it was almost abnormal. She was like a doll under the firelight of the fireplace, full of pitiable brokenness.
"What time is it now? Olgierd, are you still awake?" Alice lay on the bed and rubbed her eyes in distress, her voice as sweet as a sparrow now a little hoarse.
It was already late at night, and the wife had already taken a light sleep, but found that her husband was still busy.
Olgierd was neatly dressed in a robe, with his back to her: "It's already very late, you can continue to sleep."
Alice looked at her husband's back thoughtfully: "You have been reading all night again... What is that on your hand? Is it blood? Are you injured?"
Alice's tone was urgent and she was about to get up from the bed.
Olgierd quickly wiped his hands with a towel a few times, turned around and actively changed the subject.
"This is ink. I accidentally knocked over the ink bottle when I was writing a letter. I plan to go to Cowburg in a few days. Do you want to come with me?"
Alice's thoughts were pulled away in an instant. She almost never went out after the manor.
"Of course! This is a great idea! It will be good for both of us to go on a trip."
Seeing his wife's suddenly brightened expression, an undetectable smile appeared on Olgierd's numb face, and his eyes became gentle. .
"Go to bed quickly and regain your energy." He said softly, "I'm very tired."
"But I can't sleep now." Alice jumped out of bed and acted coquettishly towards her husband, "How about I go paint, I want to complete the portrait for you."
Olgierd was stunned and did not speak. When the opportunity came, his wife pulled him into the second bedroom which they had transformed into a studio.
There is an unfinished portrait placed above the painter, and Olgierd poses and adjusts the details under Alice's command.
Alice did not notice that the warmth that finally appeared in her husband's eyes just now was slowly disappearing.
"Smile, my dear."
The husband tried his best to calm his expression, and then twitched the corners of his mouth.
"It's a smile, not showing teeth." Alice said coquettishly, and then she didn't know what she was thinking, and her face began to be filled with happiness.
"It's like... the smile on your face when my father promised to marry me to you. I want to see it again and draw it, can you? Please!" Olgierd looked at
it Looking at his longing wife, he closed his eyes and tried to recall the past scenes. But this didn't help. Instead, it made his expression change from dull to distressed, and even slightly sad.
"You have something on your mind." Sensitive Alice immediately noticed the change in her husband.
"I..." Olgierd opened his mouth, "I still have some unfinished work, and I was thinking about those things. Sorry."
"Work again? Olgierd... you never told me that we once swore to each other. Yes, we can't have secrets from each other."
Alice said softly. Even if the language is reproachful and complaining, it still sounds indescribably gentle.
This tone made Olgierd unable to resist: "Sorry, I don't want to talk anymore."
He lowered his head and walked out of the studio quickly, not even allowing Alice to react.
"Ogierd..."
With a "bang", Olgierd walked into his study, and the door closed in front of Alice.
Alice couldn't bear it anymore. She was shivering in the cold wind with her bare legs and breathable silk pajamas, but even so she did not leave outside her husband's study.
"Ogierd, come out, we have to talk today!"
Hearing his wife start to tremble slightly with tears as she spoke, Olgierd closed his eyes.
"I want to be alone."
Alice shouted: "Not this time, come out!"
Olgierd's tone suddenly became fierce: "Leave me alone! I just want to work quietly!"
There was no sound outside the door.
Olgierd slumped down on the chair as if his bones had been removed. He felt that he should be very tired, but in fact he did not feel tired at all. It's been like this since I first got up, and it's still like this at night, even after one, two, or three nights.
This is not right.
He looked at the table in front of him, with two books and a basin of blood on it. The titles of the books are "Blood Contract: Creatures from Another World" and "Between Worlds".
There is also a five-pointed star painted on the ground, with candles lit on each corner of the star.
This is a black magic circle.
Olgierd never allowed his wife to enter his study, and Alice had always been considerate of her husband and gave him ample privacy, so she had no idea what was going on in the study.
"I can't feel happiness, I can't feel happiness, and now even the fatigue has been lost, leaving only loneliness and pain..."
Hearing the slight footsteps of his wife walking away, the sad expression on Olgierd's face deepened.
Even though he had tried many times, he still knelt down and sat in the pentagram circle again, spread his arms, clenched his fists, and recited the incantation smoothly and quickly.
Then he opened his eyes, hoping to see the figure he expected. After the failure, he closed his eyes again and continued with a different spell.
Over and over again, he tried almost every spell he had ever tried before finally breaking.
"Damn thing! What kind of spell do you want me to use? I've tried them all! I want to terminate our agreement and come out to face me - Gaunt O'Dimm!" The billowing black
mist mixed with red light came from Ogil De's body radiated out, and his violently fluctuating mood condensed on his arms. Finally unable to bear the ensuing defeats any longer, Olgierd's suppressed negative emotions burst out at this moment, and he punched the floor in front of him.
Suddenly, the red mist and black mist seemed to explode in all directions, and all the candles of the five-pointed star were extinguished at this moment. Olgierd gasped on the ground, unaware of the changes that had taken place in the room.
Until there was a "boom", the flames in the fireplace suddenly spurted out as if inspired, and the crossbars on the floor of the study glowed red at the same time.
The chaotic energy caused by Olgierd's continuous spells did not just dissipate in the air, but went berserk at this moment!
At this moment, it seemed like countless transparent figures were having a carnival in the house. Books, tables, chairs, and accessories were thrown into the air in a mess; the roof, floor, and walls also burst into flames at the same time.
Olgierd looked at everything around him blankly, and suddenly shouted: "No, Alice!"
When this chapter came out, I thought fans of the original novel would complain about it.
This is the first time I admit that this chapter may feel like playing the game all over again for game fans. Not only did I not delete it, I also added a little bit of my own content to make the awkward transitions in the game a little smoother.
Because I like this process so much, and I also love the feeling of the story being told in the game. I feel it is a waste to use any Spring and Autumn style.
I also want to take this opportunity to present a complete story in front of passerby fans. Guys, this game is really fun! Hearts of Stone DLC is really great!
Of course, if there are no casual fans of this book, I can take this opportunity to find out.
Just read it as a passing chapter
