Edwards was a little excited after hearing the news from his assistant.
Maryse, a mysterious and ancient gypsy witch. No one knew her name, everyone called her Maryse.
Edwards also got Maryse's contact information by chance, but he never contacted this magical wizard.
There are many legends about Maryse, and even the earliest legend dates from World War II. The coalition forces encountered the Ardennes counterattack. The weather was bad and air superiority could not be exerted. Several generals in the general headquarters were helpless.
At that time, a staff officer was said to have had an affair with young Maris, and he expressed his troubles. With the help of love, Maryse used her crystal ball to see the future, just like the events later written in the book, with almost no deviation.
Of course, Mr. Edwards thinks this is just spreading rumors. Everyone likes to hear these mysterious things, including many scientists.
Edwards had no interest in it.
However, under the arrangement of fate, I learned that my hard work for the rest of my life would be abandoned by capital as I lost the Nobel Prize. Everything was like a bubble that burst when I poked it. It shattered into pieces, leaving no trace.
His heart was broken.
At this time, he chose to believe Maryse. No matter what the cost, Mr. Edwards was willing to do it.
It is said that every time Maryse and other wizards use the crystal ball to see the future, it costs their lives.
Nothing can buy life, so Mr. Edwards isn't sure the mysterious Maryse can help him.
Connect to the video, the background seems to be in an old castle. The crystal ball in front of him was shining with crystal luster. Mr. Edwards felt that he had fallen after just one glance.
Behind the crystal ball is a man wearing a black robe and a hood that covers his head and face. From her appearance, you can never tell her gender.
"Are you looking for me?" A gloomy voice came from behind the robe, and Mr. Edwards shuddered involuntarily.
After hearing Marys speak, Edwards felt that his life force had been sucked away by the crystal ball that was flowing with brilliance.
She spoke broken English, which Mr. Edwards could barely understand.
Trying his best to keep a smile, Edwards stood up on crutches and bowed: "Dear Ms. Marys, please forgive me for interrupting."
"Time is for wandering, my child." Maryse's voice came. At the same time, the crystal ball burst out with a faint but indelible light.
Edwards felt that his heart was stabbed by the light, and his heart attack seemed to become serious.
"Tell me your humble request." The mysterious man in black said calmly.
"I want to know if I can get the Nobel Prize this year." Edwards asked tremblingly.
Next, Ms. Maris should tell herself what she has to pay so that she can see the near future, Edwards thought to himself.
The time is not far away, only a little over two months, and I hope the price will be smaller. After the anger just now, he began to calm down.
Even if you know the future, what can you do
Change? Facing Mr. Cree of the Bruch family, what can he change
If the price is high, just refuse it. Looking at the black robe and the mysterious and weird emphasis, Edwards doesn't want to continue dealing with her.
I am already in my final years, wouldn't it be good to live a little longer? Edwards even worried that Ms. Marys would use her own life to complete a mysterious and weird ritual, using the crystal ball in front of her to see an unchangeable future.
"Child, I want to praise your good luck. Someone has already asked me about this matter, and I know the answer now." Maryse's gloomy voice came over.
Edwards was stunned for a moment. Has anyone seen it first? There are so many people who care about this matter.
"You don't have to pay the price with your life. You are such a lucky kid."
Edwards was overjoyed, and he immediately asked: "What's the price? How much?"
The crystal ball on the opposite side of the screen shone with light, and with that eerie light hesitating, Edwards seemed to realize something.
"I will send you the money right away." After saying that, Edwards waved and called his assistant over.
There is an extra email in the mailbox, which contains an account at a certain bank.
Things that money can solve are small things, Edwards thought to himself.
"Child, I can tell you the answer first." Ms. Maris said: "My fire of life has become weak after the latest divination, and I need time to rest."
"You won't get the Nobel Prize you want this year."
After saying that, the signal on the screen was cut off. The flickering light of the crystal ball became the last trace of light and shadow, remaining in Edwards' retina.
It's like the sun burned out its last trace of energy and was annihilated in the vast universe.
Edwards was in a daze. Is it really not possible? He sat down slumped and his crutches hit the ground with a "pop" sound.
…
…
"Maryse, you are deceiving those poor little guys again." Christian sat elegantly on the side, watching the light in the crystal ball disappear, and said with a smile.
"Master Kerry, we are a wandering people with no fixed place to live. To ensure our livelihood and ensure that our people can survive, we must use money."
Maryse said with her hand on the crystal ball. There is absolutely no fat in her hands, especially when the hands move, the activity of the muscles and the color of the bones can be vaguely seen.
"Damn it, take your hands off the crystal ball." Although Christian said a rough word, his expression was still so elegant, and he even raised his glass, and the bright red liquid in the glass rippled slightly.
"Lord Kerry, is what you said true?" Maris asked hoarsely.
"Of course, I still remember the way you danced by the campfire many years ago before you became a witch." Christian smiled: "And I told you a secret that is not a secret, and you can have a secret." Pen’s meager income.”
"You still remember me when I was 5 years old, but I have forgotten it."
"You know that our Bruch family members have very good memories." Christian said, "Can you take off your black cloth? Looking at this black cloth, I feel uncomfortable all over. I always feel that you will disappear at any time. .”
"As you wish."
A pair of skeleton-like hands stretched out, grasped both sides of the wide black hood, and then took off the hood.
A skeleton appears in front of Christian.
It's like the skeletal specimens in medical schools, but different. Between the breaths, the contraction of muscles was vaguely visible, but her muscles were too weak and they looked the same as none.
