The current situation is 21 out of 2, which is more than half the probability of 5 out of 29 when Xia De chose.
But no matter what, girls have to continue to choose.
The sister in the white dress told her worried sister not to be afraid. When she wanted to open her mouth to speak, Xia De knocked on the table and told her not to speak yet.
He frowned again and took a sip of the liquid in the cup. This devil's blood brew was not very harmful to the body, but the bitter taste was hard to accept:
"Saint, you said that if I bring more blood, I can exchange it for better gifts in the end."
"Yes."
The blood-sucking god knew what Shade wanted to say. He stared at the stranger at the other end of the long table:
"So, you want to give up the gift I gave you to help these twins?"
Xia De glanced at the two girls:
"Yes."
Not only because he sympathized with them, but also because Xia De was unwilling to accept the gift of the god in front of him. After all, the other party was an evil god, and casually accepting the power of an evil god was not a choice a normal person should make.
Of course, if the other party was willing to give him a drop of divinity directly, Xia De would never refuse it. But now it was obviously impossible, so Xia De chose to exchange the opportunity given by the evil god for the opportunity to help the girls.
"I can agree to your request, but you have to think it over. I originally wanted to give you some power related to the 'Blood Moon'."
The saint's eyes seemed to express something else:
"Yes, one of the blood moons of March."
Xia De hesitated for a moment, then shook his head:
"Power is always available, but I still want to help them... Could it be divinity?"
He still asked with some greed, but the saint did not get angry, instead he laughed:
"If the treasures you brought were delicious enough, I would definitely not be stingy with the power. But unfortunately, it's interesting enough, but not delicious enough."
"So can I answer a question?"
Shade put it very directly:
"Why, strictly speaking, not the Sixth Era."
The twin girls couldn't understand either of these two conversations.
The blood-sucking god simply shook his head:
"I can't tell you this. After all, this is only the Fifth Era. How can I possibly know about the Sixth Era?"
He spoke in Draerion.
"Well, then I will voluntarily give up the gift you want to give me, so that their remaining choices will be simpler."
Xia De did not suggest letting the twin girls go directly through the final stage of the cocktail party, because the god who hosted the cocktail party would definitely not let them go so easily.
"gentlemen... ... "
The girl in the black dress said in a low voice. This was the first time someone dared to interrupt the god while he was speaking at the party:
"You don't have to..."
"No need to say more, I am willing to help you, just because I met you, you just need to remember to thank me in your heart."
Shad glanced at the girls. They looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. They were much younger than the youngest girl Shad was familiar with, Ajelina Cavendish.
"I don't know what kind of people you will become in the future, nor do I know what you will do in the future. But if you can keep your memories of me and remember to find Miss Mana Felena after becoming a witch, it will also be a help to me."
The two girls nodded together, and the god said:
"Since you are willing to give up the gift, let's play one last game."
After the snap of fingers, a copper-colored six-sided dice spun around in Shade's right hand. When it stopped, the number on the top was six:
"Try your luck. You throw it. Multiply the number by two and you'll get the number of bottles left."
That is, even in the worst case scenario, the girls only need to choose two from the twelve bottles.
Xia De picked up the dice and narrowed his eyes slightly:
"God, I don't doubt your fairness, but will you manipulate the result of this dice?"
"Oh, unexpected guest, I didn't even tell you that you have the blessing of the God of Gamblers, and you actually doubted my notarization?"
Xia De nodded, thinking that what He said made a lot of sense.
I casually threw the dice onto the table. After a few clangs, it started spinning and stopped at 1, which meant there were only two bottles left. Choose two out of two, and the party was over.
Xia De knew that he was lucky, but he still couldn't believe that the god on the other side would let the girls go so easily. He looked up and wanted to speak, but the saint had already spoken:
"Look, girls, this gentleman in front of you is really lucky."
God acknowledged this outcome as if it was expected.
As He showed a meaningful smile, the blood of the unfortunate people struck by lightning and the blood of the Augustus priests automatically flew up and filled their glasses.
These two types of blood are actually human blood. Apart from being a little nauseating, there are no side effects when drinking it.
The girls raised their glasses solemnly to greet Xia De. Xia De also raised his glass with only the last sip left in it, clinked glasses with the twin girls, and then drank their respective blood brews together.
"Your wish is to sever the ancient contract, not have to fulfill the obligation of the seal, and be together forever."
God whispered:
"Although the blood you brought is precious, it is not enough for me to fulfill such a complicated wish. But I can give you power and let you seek help from other gods."
The blood mist rose up, and then gradually gathered in front of the twin girls. The scattered blood mist gradually gathered, and finally turned into a fluttering red butterfly in front of the girls.
Xia De frowned. He had just investigated the Red Butterfly in his own time, but he didn't expect to meet it again in the past.
The red butterfly made of blood mist finally landed on the table in front of the girls, and then changed from a living thing to a completely dead thing. The red butterfly split from the center, and became two petals, one on the left and one on the right:
"You each hold half, which can temporarily postpone the fate that is destined to befall you. Before the red butterfly disappears, you can go find the Gemini God, the god who controls the power of balance, opposition, and the guardian of twins. This is the information about Him. I think it will not be difficult to find Him, and for the sake of this blood butterfly, He will help you."
A roll of parchment fell beside the split red butterfly, but Shade had no intention of checking it out. After all, in his time, the twin gods had already left, and this was the knowledge bestowed by the gods on girls, so if he wanted to read it, he would probably only see a blank.
"But I want to warn you."
God smiled meaningfully again:
"If you just want the Twin God to help you break the responsibilities of the ancient contract, it would be simple. But if you seek the power to be together forever from Him, then He might give you all kinds of interesting choices. After all, the Twin God is two-in-one, not two-in-two like you. The true form of twins in His eyes is different from yours."
When He said "two in one", He glanced at Xia De.
The double doors of the hall, which had turned blood red, opened. The girl in the black dress and the girl in the white dress each picked up half of the red butterfly, while the older girl in the white dress put the parchment away.
They stood up holding hands and bowed slightly to express their gratitude to the gods:
"Thank you for your generosity, but we will give it a try anyway. God, please allow us to offer you a sacrifice in the future to thank you for this kindness."
After thanking the gods, the girls did not leave immediately, but bowed to Shade in the same posture:
"I'm Grace."
The girl in the white dress introduced herself.
"I'm Helen."
The girl in the black dress introduced herself.
"This is our name, and we have decided to abandon the surname given by our family and live for ourselves, so please forgive us for not being able to tell you your surname. Thank you again, thank you very much, sir."
Xia De shook his head slightly. He neither approved nor opposed the girls abandoning their responsibility to guard the seal, so he made no comment:
"I only help you because I met you, girls. This is your own good luck. Live well. And..."
He suddenly frowned:
"The place your family is responsible for sealing, isn't it the borderland between life and death?"
You really are good at association.
she said with a smile in Shad's ear.
"No, it isn't."
The girls shook their heads together:
"It's an evil creature from the Warp."
Xia De nodded:
"That's good. It seems I was wrong... I can't judge other people's actions, but if you have power in the future, remember to find a way to solve the problem of sealing the place. You have escaped your fate. If possible, don't let more twins repeat that horrible fate."
The girls nodded, looked at each other, and then each untied the ribbons on their heads. Grace, who was in a white dress, had a white ribbon, while Helen, who was in a black dress, had a black ribbon, and each had a black and white butterfly decoration.
They tied the two headbands together, making the black and white butterflies overlap, and handed them to Shade:
"Sir, I know you don't want a gift that's too expensive."
This is seen by Shad rejecting the Demon Hunting Seal from the old man who had already left.
"These are ornaments we have carried with us since childhood. I hope they can accompany you and wish you good luck."
Xia De hesitated for a moment, then took the worthless gift:
"Okay, let's get out of here."
"Goodbye."
Grace and Helen held hands and walked quickly out of the door behind Shade. The door closed with a harsh sound, but it was obvious that every time Shade came, the door opened without much noise.
Only Shade and the Saint were left in the hall. They looked at each other:
"So, can the party be over now?"
Shade said softly while holding the wrapped hairband.
All the blood brew had been drunk, but Shade could not leave until the opposite god declared the drinking party over. Although this key of the fifth era 3014 did not bring Shade much gain, he got a lot of interesting stories.
It would be nice if it could end peacefully.
"Don't worry, I can answer one of your questions."
The blood-sucking god smiled and said:
“No need to ask, I’ll answer directly.
Let me tell you a basic rule. When you come to a time that does not belong to you, the power of the Infinite Tree Father has been protecting you. Therefore, no matter who you face, as long as you do not actively provoke the other party, a god like me cannot kill you. Although the ancient gods have left, they are always here. "
Xia De suddenly realized that the evil god in front of him had always been using him for fun without causing any real harm:
"I do wonder about that, but why are you telling me this at the end?"
"Because you are leaving, and knowing this, won't your future journey be more interesting?"
God smiled and said:
"Although you rejected my gift, this party has become more interesting because of your presence. So I will give you a small gift."
He did not give Shade any time to refuse, a red light directly entered Shade's right eye:
"When you use your magic, Blood Echo, you can clearly identify any vampire race, and they cannot hide from you."
This adds new features to Blood Echoes.
"Thank you for your generosity, but are you really not interested in my blood at all?"
"Yes."
The saint said very seriously:
"Perhaps you don't understand it yet, but the moment you understand it, you will understand that I am interested in the blood of any creature, but not yours."
Xia De nodded and stood up to leave. It was the 23rd minute since he entered Night Manor, and it was the first time he left without using up all the time.
"in addition."
As Xia De stood up, he couldn't help but ask again:
"Do you know what happened to the other four people who attended the party?"
That's a matter for the future.
"Of course I know."
"So... ... "
"They are all dead."
"I see..."
"All mortals must die, and all things must perish. Do you think you will be able to see them in the distant future?"
God asked. Shade stood beside the chair and thought for a moment before shaking his head.
"Yes, everything has its own demise, and will die... Speaking of which, the blood of the magma colony that you tasted contained the blood of the phoenix, right?"
"Yes."
"It seems that the spiritual sect is indeed connected to the phoenix of Mount Xikar. The so-called ancient who sealed the passage on the top of the mountain is most likely an ancient phoenix. Oh, this can also explain the relic-level flame in Sister Defulin's hand, which can guide me in the narrow space. I was wondering why I felt that the flame was so familiar at the time (Chapter 598). Now that I think about it, I have seen similar fire in the dark realm (Chapter 522)."
He thought in his heart and said:
"Then again..."
He almost said "goodbye", but fortunately Xia De focused his attention in time. He didn't want to meet this evil god again:
"Then let's say goodbye. Your wine will be very good and tasteful."
He bowed to the god at the table.
"Thank you for the compliment. Please leave now, unexpected guest."
Then he watched Xia De walk into the white mist behind the double doors until the white mist disappeared.
The god sat alone in the blood-red reception hall, in this ancient night manor, with a smug look on his face. His fangs slightly exposed from the corners of his mouth, he knocked on the table, and said with a smile:
"Then, we'll see you next time."
