Chapter 399 Rainy Night Lighthouse
"Want to die? How could it be so easy?"

The card fell, and the yellow-haired middle age person who was pierced through the heart looked towards Shade in front of him in astonishment. The ring of life on the man's back dissipated, but before he could breathe, Shade's hand came up:
"False immortality!"

Then he pushed the man to the ground with a sharp push. Shade gritted his teeth and held his sword in both hands, slashing the opponent's left palm. Without his two hands, the severely wounded ring warlock had no chance of a comeback.

Looking at those two hands, a foreigner who is doing this kind of thing for the first time feels very sick. Turning around and picking up the water glass on the table, silver's aura appeared on the surface of the water. Shade poured the cup of hot tea on the man's wound to prevent him from losing his [false immortality] state due to excessive bleeding:
"I'll ask, you'll answer."

"You can never get any answers from me! It's all for the Lord of the Scarlet Spiral! Kill me."

The meager life force remained in the body, and his voice was very weak.

"Kill you? Kill you and I can channel your soul. Whether you're alive or dead, don't try to keep it a secret."

"Then kill I, my soul is favored by the Lord, you will never get any news!"

Although weak, he still stared at Shade with hatred.

"Death?"

Shade's mouth trembled, if it wasn't for the fear of Lecia's accident, he would never have done such a cruel thing:

" Do you know what it's like to drink water and be stretched to death?"

Shade shook the water glass in his hand, and more and more water appeared under the power of the spell.

"You devil!"

the feeble voice cursed.

"I'm not trying to torture you, it's pointless, I want you to be aware of one thing."

Shade has crouched down, his back to the The gas lamp, which makes the face in the shadow extra terrifying:
"You are a disciple of the Guardian of the Murlocs - [Lord of the Scarlet Spiral]. If you are the kin of this great one, you end up choking on water or even dying. Bloated to death, do you think that god will admit your identity after you die?"

The man's face showed a frightened expression for the first time:
"You, you"

p>

"Will He still protect your soul forever?"

"You devil!"

"No, at least I guess based on my mortal thinking, it should be No."

Shade didn't smile at all:

"But God of the Dead would love to take your soul, sir, Since you are a believer of Evil God in Coldwater Harbor, you should also know that great one. He is very interested in drowned murlocs. Especially the drowned mermen in Coldwater Harbor”

“ No, no!"

No one knew what happened next in the room because of the spell thrown at the door. When Shade opened the door and came out, he was holding a corpse doll with a severed hand in his hand. In the room behind him, the carpet was rolled up and set aside to prevent blood from scaring the maids who were cleaning the room.

Shade walked quickly along the corridor:
"Scarlet esoteric, when the ocean of red appears tomorrow, the order will make sacrifices to the sea. Except for those who volunteered in the order. In addition to the human believers and the citizens they captured, there is also a woman of noble birth who will serve as the final prelude to the 'Send from the Sea' ceremony."

This is the information Shade just got, the other party is in the soul Under the fear of being seized by Ability God, some information was revealed. Just before he could finish speaking, he died. Not because of the injury, he was scared to death.

The attitude of people in this world towards faith is completely different from that of foreigners.

In the violent night rain outside the window, Shade walked through the corridor with windows on one side:
"This sacrifice is not a necessary step of 'the sea return', but a ceremony like prayer. The return of ceremony from the sea will begin tomorrow when the first ray of sunshine falls on Coldwater Harbor, and the sacrifice will also begin at that moment. In addition to Lecia, the Scarlet Esoteric Cult has five or six goals, one of which is "

Shade looked towards the direction of the city:
"Shivi Avrolla."

He summoned the servants, cleaned up the messy study, and stood in the corridor, Looking at the heavy rain outside the window:
"Things are getting more and more interesting."

Although the heavy rain continued all night, the small-scale battles around Sophia's mansion only lasted It's over in half an hour.

Continuously arriving support forces the attackers to abandon their targets. In particular, there was no news from the attackers who entered Sophia's mansion, which made the lamp-lit mansion in the night rain and sea breeze look extraordinarily strange.

With the 12-ringed Great Demon girl with Laccia, Shade's worries were relieved a lot, so he didn't go out in the rain.

He wanted to wait until Laccia came back to rest, but after midnight, when the time came to Wednesday, Princess's carriage still did not appear at the gate of the manor. And the servants who were sent to inquire about the news came from the rain that the city was under martial law, and that the carriage could leave the city, but was not allowed to enter the city.

Sophia's mansion was attacked frantically by the fish people, and the same accident probably broke out in the city. But not being able to hear the news of Lazia made Shade, who thought nothing would happen, to feel uneasy again:

"Even before dawn, the attack of the murlocs didn't hurt Lazia. But If she doesn't come back overnight, I won't be able to be by her side when the ceremony begins."

Shade rested in his room for two hours after the early hours. After waking up, he said hello to the maid left by Lecia, and left the house in the carriage.

But instead of going into town, he had the carriage take him to the Sea Cliff Lighthouse, also in the Northern Part of City. When Laccia took the alias of Miss Prince, she brought Shade here once, and the caretaker here was Mr. Edmund, the folk scholar.

Holding an umbrella and struggling to watch the light of the lighthouse in the rain, I climbed all the way to the top of the sea cliff. Long after putting on the mask and knocking on the door, Edmund Old Mister's alert voice appeared behind the door:
"Who is it?"

"Introduced by Old John of Tobesque! "

Shade said.

The last time I came with Lazia, Lazia mentioned half of Papa John's name. Shade didn't know the secrets of the writer and Princess at the time, so he didn't think much of it, but then he understood.

"Don't lie to me! Hmph, even if he introduced this kind of rain, no one would come knocking on the door so late in the rain!"

The old man behind the door said dissatisfiedly.

"It was really introduced by him. I came here last time, remember? You came back from fishing that day, but there was only one small fish in the bucket. My companion bought a Saint Laurent ring, and I sold it. Here's a book for you."

Shade loudly shouted, it's raining too much here.

"Oh? There's this."

The old man inside the door was hesitating.

"Old John! Dad John, that stingy guy, oh, I've never seen such a stingy person in my life."

The door was slammed open, Before Shade could react, the old man's strong hand pulled Shade in.

The lighthouse is dilapidated, but the interior is only separated by a wooden door, but it is extremely dry and warm.

Old Edmond was wearing pajamas, a coat over his shoulders, and a kerosene lamp in his hand. He is slightly frowned, looking towards Shade under the lamp:

"Yes, he is indeed the meanest guy in this world. It seems that you are indeed his friend, youngster, what are you going to do so late What? Do you think I'm as young as you?"

The old man grumbled, but let Shade find a place to sit and fetched a dry towel for him.

The ground floor area of the lighthouse is the residential area of the tower guards. Although the area is not large, it can meet the needs of life.

Shade took the towel and wiped his hair:
"Sorry to bother you so late. The sea returns, the sea of red, will appear at dawn today."

"Oh So what?"

The old man asked while sitting on the chair in front of the desk. The lighthouse was actually connected to the gas pipe, and he turned on the gas light on the desk.

Shade took a deep breath and draped the towel over the back of the chair:

“You must know more about the ceremony, last time I came with that lady You didn't say it completely."

Edmond looked at him quietly, his eyes were not cloudy like an ordinary old man:

"So what?"

"I have money."

"But you need to convince me to agree to the deal."

"Light Hermit Order."

To the sound of terrifying waves crashing against the cliffs outside the lighthouse, Shade has the answer. Mr. Edmund narrowed his eyes subconsciously, then relaxed:

"John It shouldn't be telling you this."

via the "Tree Kiss" After the transaction, Shade learned that Father John belonged to the "Hermit Order", and the latter even wanted to know Shade's expression when he found out about it. And Edmund of Cold Harbor, like old John of Tobesque, runs a secret black market store around the warlock, and both are knowledgeable but reluctant to do other things.

Therefore, it is inferred that Mr. Edmund, a friend of Father John, who can introduce business to each other, is also a member of the "Light Guide Hermit Order", which is actually not troublesome at all.

"What does it matter? I don't care about your secrets, all I know is that you can always help as long as I pay. I have nothing against your survival preparations for the end of the day. Emotions."

Shade stared into the old man's eyes from behind the mask.

"What do you want to know?"

Probably seeing his determination, the old man thought for a while before asking in a low voice.

"Simply, my friend, that lady has a mermaid curse on her. Now that I know, I can use a rod and line tie to dampen her urge to go into the red ocean, apart from this, Are there other methods?"

Shade said quickly.

"No."

The old man shook his head, and Shade didn't care, because he didn't come to ask this, this question was just to detour and prepare the other party:
"I still want to know."

He subconsciously lowered his voice:

"The original intention of returning the ceremony from the sea is to awaken the power left by Evil God in the deep sea, and by this Come to flood the city. Then, God, what did you leave behind?"

Lightning flashed through the window, and white light illuminated the faces of the two from the window. The waves rumbled, but were overwhelmed by the thunder.

The storm is coming.

PS: There is a big recommendation on the 20th, or like last time, add 5k a day, equivalent to the W word update every day, so stay tuned.
