The conversation between the cat and the devil finally became tense. Megan and her brother were ready for a fight, but the cat and the devil looked at each other for a while and then pulled out another hair.
After the cat's fur rubbed against Megan's clothes, the silver crown of thorns covered with rust fell on Megan's shoulders. The strong element of miracle made Megan and Audrey's weak souls almost see the angel coming, but it was all false, and what fell on their shoulders was just a ring of thorns.
Shade said nothing. The Giant was silent for a moment, then nodded in understanding:
"Since you are so confident, let's resolve this peacefully. But unlike last time, when I let you go with just one wish, I am now more powerful and you must make three wishes. They are still the wishes to not change reality, not to seek material things, and not to pursue change. This kind of wish will cost me the least... In fact, you have committed more sins than last time."
It probably saw the "indifference", but Shade did not continue the topic:
"What price will you take?"
"You are really careful. It's not a soul, it's sin. Don't you have plenty of it?"
Xia De nodded and looked at the two brothers on the other side of the giant:
"Do you have any questions?"
Xia De just wanted some opinions, but the two brothers just shook their heads quickly and kept their mouths shut to ensure that they would not make any sound.
"medicine... ... "
I wanted to say "Miss Pharmacist", but then I thought of the role-playing relationship between the two of them now:
"Sister, do you want to ask something?"
Although Megan and Audrey are older than him, he doesn't want to pretend to be the younger one.
Megan was really shocked by this name, and looked at the cat on her shoulder with wide eyes, but still answered:
"As you say."
"Okay, first wish: I want to know, your appearance here, is it related to the island over there?"
The cat's paw pointed in the direction of the central island, and the giant nodded:
"It is related. The fortune teller on the island found me and deliberately placed me here to lure the earl who once owned this land to make a wish. This happened fifty years ago. He did this for many reasons, but I can only tell you one. If you want to know more, you can continue to make a wish: he knew that his descendants would come here fifty years later, and he knew that his descendants would see me. I am waiting for you here on purpose."
That's why Xia De hates dealing with those high-level fortune tellers. Fortunately, this time he is the chosen one of space and not the chosen one of fate.
Edwards and the others had different expressions, and Shade asked the next question:
"Please tell us as much as you can about the fortune teller on the island."
The blue giant smiled and clapped his hands:
"What a greedy wish, but I admire this greed. The fortune teller is very thoughtful, very courageous. He has many strange collaborators, and he himself has even surpassed the human form. His real purpose is actually great. Maybe he is the righteous side... ... According to human standards. This is all I can say, but you can make a wish and continue asking."
The djinn suggested.
"Beyond human form? I see..."
Xia De considered it carefully, but still chose not to continue asking the questions he had already asked:
"One last question. Who are your fellow tribesmen on that island?"
The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and Megan was the first to understand what Shad meant, while the twin brothers widened their eyes in surprise again. They had no idea that their ancestors were working with some kind of demon.
And Shade knew very well that the demon on the island was definitely not the one in front of him. After all, although the blue giant was also a demon, its essence had been transformed into a relic. He could still distinguish the curse released by the relic from the curse released by the evil spirit demon.
The giant grinned again:
"You know it, I know it, you definitely know it. It's really interesting, really interesting. But I can't tell you the answer directly. Do you like riddles? I can give you three clues: the evil curse, the huge maze, and the unsolvable road."
Shade couldn't understand these hints, but maybe the doctor would understand something in the afternoon and at least be able to narrow down the target.
After asking the three questions, the blue giant reached out to Shad the cat, and Shad immediately felt his soul lighter, as if something had been taken away.
"She" whispered in my ear:
Outsider, you sense the whispers.
Your Greed (Perfect) sin is reduced by 0.9 ticks.
If Shade remembered correctly, when he encountered the "Mansion of Sins" in the Xikar Mountains last autumn, his greed was 9.9 ke, second only to the rare "Gluttony". After half a year, the sin of greed must have increased. After all, Shade wanted more, so it didn't matter if he lost 0.9 ke at this time.
"Are you okay?"
Megan was very nervous about the "price" the demon was charging, but Shad shook his head to show that he was fine.
“She” continued to remind:
Stranger, you have some understanding of "redemption".
"Do you want to know more? For example, what did the fortune teller on the island do? Why did he ask you to come here? Or, what else is there on the island besides my people? Do you want to know? Maybe we can continue the trade."
The blue giant continued to look at Shade:
"Next, I don't want your sins. Maybe you can help me collect souls. Yes, ordinary human obsession, greed, desire for war, pursuit of power, are all concentrated above this lake. Not to mention, the grand movement of fate will be played here, and many, many interesting souls will gather here. Help me collect souls, and I can tell you more."
The twin brothers kept their mouths shut, but still shook their heads at Shade, signaling him not to make a deal with the devil. Megan was also a little worried, but these worries were unnecessary. For this kind of devil that couldn't even be swallowed by the doctor, Shade was too lazy to deal with it:
"Can you tell me anything?"
"Yes, I know almost everything."
The giant said, and then the silver cat asked:
"That's right, for the legendary demon king..."
The colorful mist instantly entered the bottle, and then the bottle suddenly jumped to the water surface next to the ice. But before the bottle touched the water surface, a thin black chain shot out from the cat's claws and tied the bottle tightly.
When Shade has four runes of the Chain of Sin, he can completely restrain Fanni, the demon of proliferating desire, who is in a severely injured state. Although his cat state now restricts his spellcasting ability, with six runes of sin, he can still restrain the demon sealed in the bottle.
"What else do you want to do? I don't want to answer your questions anymore."
The mist in the bottle gathered into the face of a blue giant, which leaned against the bottle and looked at Shade. Its face was so distorted and ugly that it was disgusting. The bottle kept shaking, trying to break free from the chains, but the chains that made the three people present feel extremely filthy and heavy were not so easy to loosen:
"If you can't answer the previous question, I can change it to another one."
The silver cat looked at the devil in the bottle:
"I know a mermaid and I..."
"Although I don't know if you are referring to that lady, but for the sake of everyone, don't say that name, absolutely, absolutely don't."
The blue giant desperately shook its face in the bottle. As a humanoid relic, the unknowable level of desire completely suppressed the sage-level relic. Especially since both were related to "water", the devouring principle of the relic made desire almost its natural enemy:
"I'll tell you one more message, how about you let me go?"
"sure."
As he spoke, the flames burning in the cat's paws drew a series of demonic runes in the air. This was what Shade had learned from the "Malbas Demon Book", and this passage could guarantee that he would keep his word.
"Once the descendants of the Edwards family meet me, the ceremony arranged in advance will be activated. Don't be fooled by the seemingly unchanged surroundings. In fact, this place has become an abnormal space zone. He is forcing his descendants to explore and use their talents more and tap into the power of their bloodline before the family reunion. Only in this way can they leave this abnormal area."
The voice of the blue giant in the bottle was clearly heard by everyone, and it looked at the silver cat. Shade actually had a lot of questions to ask, but he also knew that the other party was not really afraid of him, and it would be no good to have more contact with such a thing:
"You are free. Don't meet me next time."
"You think I want to run into you?"
The thin chain was retracted, and the bottle fell into the water with a thud. When I looked underwater again, the bottle had disappeared as if it had melted into the water.
"It can move in the water, selectively allowing people to fish it up. It turns out that the wishing demon is willing to take the bait..."
Xia De thought to himself, then looked at the two brothers opposite him:
"Want to cooperate and leave here?"
After the strong whispering elements of the relic slowly dissipated, they also clearly felt the sense of spatial anomaly mentioned by the demon. Shade had encountered many spatial anomaly areas before, but this one was particularly different.
To the naked eye, the lake was quite calm under the sun near noon, and the sunlight reflected from the lake was even a little dazzling. Nothing unusual could be seen with the naked eye, but the three people and the cat were all ring sorcerers with unique spatial talents. When their consciousness touched everything around them, they immediately discovered that the space that should have been stable was as fragile as glass around them. Even the slightest movement could cause a crack in the space.
This is equivalent to, as long as you move nearby, it is possible to cause an effect similar to the continuous use of "Lagra's Leap".
