"Although this man has all kinds of problems, I like that he keeps his word."
Xia De muttered, and put the cards into his own deck. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, he still had a smile on his face. Although this picture of the woman's corpse on the bed, smiling by the weak candlelight at the table is weird, but fortunately, no one can see it.
After getting the cards, Xia De's ostensible purpose of visiting the manor tonight has been achieved, but he still has a lot to do.
Turning around to look at the woman's body, he muttered softly:
"Oh, now that Mrs. Haela has been killed, maybe I can find her killer."
After the voice fell, the wind and snow blowing from the half-open window suddenly increased. And the whistling wind sounds more like ghosts howling.
When Xia De turned his head to look at the window, he could only see in the direction of the city in the distance, a huge fireball actually rushed directly into the night sky, and then there was a delayed explosion sound, it seemed that the church had already started to face Meet the enemy.
[So, how do you investigate? 】
"She" asked softly in Xia De's ear, Xia De looked at the corpse again:
"There are no wounds on the outside, and there are no traces of poisoning. Unless the corpse is dissected, I can't find any clues by normal means. But fortunately, I am a ring magician."
He took out the bone meal and sprinkled it on the corpse: "Thaumaturgy—guiding death."
The soul that should have been psychic did not appear. Instead, from the perspective of the "Vision", petrified rose vines squirmed and grew, fixing the corpse more firmly on the bed.
But Xia De's thaumaturgy was not without effect, he heard the woman's sigh, and then saw transparent footprints appeared beside the bed. Footprints paced around the bed, and then extended to the position outside the door. From a normal viewing angle, the footprints are very blurry, but from the visionary's perspective, the glowing footprints are even brighter than candles.
Shad did not follow immediately, but took a drop of blood from Haila Oxenfurt's finger with a knife, and then dripped it into his eyes:
"Echoes of Blood."
The thaumaturgy that can see traces of blood in a normal state, dripping the blood of a dead person, can see all the trajectories within one hour before life and one hour after death.
Sure enough, when the blood entered his eyes, Xia De almost immediately saw the phantom that appeared on the bed and overlapped with the actual position. But there is only such a phantom, which means that she was lying in this position both before and after her death.
"Did you sleep before you died?"
Shad was a little puzzled, and took off the sapphire earring from Haila Oxenfurt's ear. Squeezing it hard, the glass that sealed a drop of Stone Oxenfurt's blood shattered directly, and the drop of blood floated into Shad's right eye under the guidance of the spell:
"Echoes of Blood."
When the blood of a living person drips into the eyes, Xia De can see the phantom formed by the trajectory of a certain target within 24 hours in the next hour. It was this thaumaturgy that was used to find the missing Augustus priest in Fort Midhill.
The **** shadow of Stone Oxenfurt appeared in front of his eyes, and the position of his feet was the position of the footprints on the ground. He checked his wife's condition by the bed, and then walked out of the room following a series of footprints on the ground.
Xia De held the long sword in one hand and the candlestick on the desk in the other and followed.
With "Vision" and "Echo of Blood" working together, Xia De found that he could see more details, as if he had directly seen what happened in the past.
The footprints extended to the corridor, and when Xia De also stepped over the bedroom door, he took one step and appeared in the courtyard of the manor with gray snowflakes fluttering.
[Some kind of power connects the bedroom door with the manor gate. Entering the room is a normal space, and leaving the room leads to another space. Oxenfurt also left in the same way. 】
"She" explained softly, Xia De is also a ring magician who masters the power of space, and understands what "she" means. And "she" was right, whether it was the footprints on the ground or the **** light in Xia De's eyes, they still continued before his eyes.
The figure did not walk towards the gate of the mansion, but turned around and walked away.
To the fence gate of the manor.
Oxenfurt's footprints clearly lingered two steps on the right side of the fence gate, and the **** figure reminded Shad that he had stuffed something into the crack of the brick.
Xia De stretched out his hand and hooked it lightly, and a smooth gray stone flake floated out from the crack of the brick. The stone flake was engraved with ant-sized devil runes.
Xia De thought for a while, injected his own spirit, and then threw it into the snow.
Light and shadow rose from the snow, and the translucent figures of Haila Oxenfurt and Stone Oxenfurt, who looked much younger, appeared.
"I have bought back this manor that originally belonged to the Oxenfurt family."
In the phantom, Stone Oxenfurt carried his luggage and said to the girl beside him:
"After a while, I will go to your house to propose marriage. Now that I have money, your parents, old Mr. Watson and Mrs. Watson, will no longer reject me."
Because he had seen Mrs. Hayla's expressionless face, the happy face of Hayla Watson in the vision made Xia De feel very strange.
"Stone, can you tell me now, what kind of business are you doing now?"
Haila asked again, she looked at her future husband with concern, and the slightly younger Oxenfurt said with a smile:
"You don't have to care about this, I will become richer and richer. Yes, richer than any of my ancestors, your parents will never look down on me again."
The illusion ended here, and the purpose of that piece of stone was to release the illusion. So Xia De continued to follow the footprints and the blood-colored phantom, but still did not go to the mansion, but to the flower garden that had been covered by snowflakes.
The footprints lingered here again, and the **** figure told Shad that Oxenfurt hid something under the snow again.
It was still smooth gray flakes, and this time it was still an illusion.
Stone Oxenfurt stood in the middle of the flowerbed, and Haela painted at her easel. Hayla Watson was good at drawing, and Shad had been a model in the back garden during his second visit.
"The wedding date is getting closer."
Oxenfurt kept his movements, his attire much the same as when Shad first met him at Lord Granger's banquet.
"I received a letter from your father, and he gave me a...prenuptial contract." Hayla Watson paused for a moment, and she said softly:
"That's my father's own idea, you don't have to care about it." Oxenfurt, who kept his posture still, said:
"It doesn't matter, that contract is also very necessary. It proves the property we each kept before marriage, and agreed on the distribution of the property after divorce. In addition to the part that originally belonged to you, the contract also stipulates that once we divorce, any Under no circumstances, I will give you half of my private property.”
"I....."
The woman in front of the easel had a guilty expression on her face.
"It doesn't matter, I left Captain Woody's ship and got this family property only to marry you. If one day I change my mind, I would rather give you my heart, let alone half of the property? "
Stone Oxenfurt, who had an extremely tough face, had always been considered by Shad to be more like a robber before, but at this time he showed a rough and handsome:
"I will love you forever, no matter what the price is."
The phantom smiled and winked at the woman behind the drawing board, and Haila Oxenfurt also smiled: "You love me without paying any price, just like I love you."
Roughly estimated from the timeline, since he has become rich, Oxenfurt must have completed the contract with the devil at this time, so Shade can understand the determination of this sentence. After Haila Watson finished speaking, she hid her face behind the drawing board, so the owner of the manor didn't see the guilty expression on her face.
The illusion ended, Shade sighed and shook his head in the snow, illuminating the snow with the flickering light of the candlestick in his hand:
"While knowing Stone Oxenfur
Everyone said that he had always loved her deeply, but he didn't expect this to be the case. "[Will you let him go because of this? 】
"How can it be?"
The western night sky was suddenly illuminated by a golden light, and then a dull sound swept over. The ground trembled slightly, and even the trajectory of the fluttering snowflakes was changed by the impact of the sound waves.
Xia De looked in that direction very worriedly, and then continued to follow the footprints and the **** figure. After leaving the flower garden, the footprints and Bloody circled around the courtyard in front of the manor before finally arriving at the gate of the mansion.
The footsteps wandered again, and another piece of stone was hidden.
When the phantom was activated, the transparent figure that appeared at the door, besides Haila and Stone, actually had the former's father, the old Mr. Watson that Shad had seen in the haunted Watson Manor. Of course, at this time, he is not an old ghoul with four arms, but a healthy living person.
The same translucent phantom carriage drove into the yard. Old Mr. Watson stepped out of the carriage, walked down with a cane, and then looked up at the manor house:
"This place is very open ~www.mtlnovel.com~ It looks good, but it's a bit too old. If you really want to get married, this place needs to be renovated again."
"Father, Stone said that it will be renovated soon."
Said young Hayla Watson, old Mr. Watson looked at his daughter and smiled. But when he looked at Stone Oxenfurt, the expression of disgust on his face was not concealed at all:
"I came here today to sign the prenuptial agreement with you. If it wasn't for Haila's insistence on marrying you, no matter what, I wouldn't have any contact with someone like you."
Stone Oxenfurt is actually not a very good-tempered person, but although he is angry in the illusion, he still tries hard to endure:
"Then let's go in, we can sign now."
"No, I will not enter such a dilapidated house. Although this is your ancestral house, in my opinion, not only is it dilapidated, but the artistic aesthetic level is really poor."
Old Mr. Watson said, then put his hands in his pockets, turned his back to his daughter and future son-in-law, and turned to look at the scenery in the yard.
