Volume 1 The Curtain of the Night Chapter 44 Explanation

Xia Zuo looked at Edith with a moving smile in front of him, and felt that he had fallen into a deeper level of confusion.

What are we the same kind of, and what have we all lost together?

In what sense?

You're playing dumb riddles with me, Edith.

It's even more confusing.

If it's said that we're all soul descendants, that's right.

But they are both soul descendants, and everyone and Edith are also soul descendants, and Edith doesn't necessarily see everyone as the same kind.

From this, it can be seen that the same kind of people that Edith is talking about cannot refer to only this.

"I really still can't figure it out, what kind of meaning is it?" Xia Zuo scratched his head and asked.

"Well......" Edith smiled slyly, "you'll find out later, brother." ”

"It's too early to tell. ”

"But I can tell you that I actually knew about your existence a long time ago, but I just didn't know it was you. Edith blinked her purple crystal eyes slightly, smiled smartly, and said something that Xia Zuo didn't understand.

"You ......" Xia Zuo was stunned, "What long ago knew about my existence but didn't know it was me?"

"That's what I know from a man, who this person is...... Keep it a secret for now. ”

Edith smiled softly.

Is that an uncle?

Xia Zuo couldn't help but think of the hunter uncle who had taken him in before but left mysteriously.

If he had met with Edith and mentioned me after he left, that would have explained what Edith had said.

"Is the person you are talking about older, an uncle?"

"Brother. ”

"Don't think too much, that person is not an uncle you know, you can't know that person. Edith smiled, but refused to explain any more.

"You that, now I don't understand it at all. Listening to Edith's words, Xia Zuo grabbed his hair violently, looking like he had a headache.

"Forget it, since you say so, I'll believe you first. In the end, Xia Zuo had no choice but to give up believing in Edith for the time being.

"Well, it's Sachs' turn next. Edith smiled dangerously, after all, in her eyes, Sachs was most likely the mastermind behind the planned frame-up.

Xia Zuo was stunned.

Yes, not to mention that he has decided to believe Edith, in fact, whether Edith is a murderer or not, Viscount Sachs cannot have nothing to do with a murderer.

After all, the biggest beneficiary of the murderer's killing of Neil is actually Viscount Sachs.

Sachs: He didn't want anyone to reveal important news.

Just as Xia Zuo was about to answer Edith, a more rapid footsteps came from the other side, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally reached Xia Zuo's side.

Xia Zuo looked sideways and saw that Captain Anos had returned with Elsa, along with Viscount Saxophone and Saxophone's butler Rhine.

Viscount Saxophone's face was average, his expression was complicated and faintly sad, and he didn't seem to expect such a thing to happen at all.

But...... Pretending to be a gesture...... What bad guy wouldn't do it?

Xia Zuoben's anger that had been temporarily dissipated by Edith rekindled.

Xia Zuo gritted his teeth and pronounced the name of Viscount Saxophone word by word.

"...... Saxophone Brenda"

"How do you explain Neil's death?"

Xia Zuo questioned Saxophone sharply.

Xia Zuo: He didn't treat Viscount Saxophone the same way he had treated Edith before.

This is first of all because Xia Zuo's current sanity has largely recovered because of Edith, and he will no longer act impulsively as before.

Secondly, the reason why Xia Zuo would directly attack Edith before and not give Edith more chance to explain was not because Xia Zuo completely lost his mind for a while and did not pity Edith at all, but because Xia Zuo subconsciously thought that even if he attacked Edith, Edith could easily defuse the attack.

Under the influence of such a subconscious and wanting to vent the resentment in his heart, Xia Zuo made such a move.

As for Viscount Sax, Saxophone is just an ordinary human after all, and he can't withstand Xia Zuo's attack at all, if Xia Zuo does it to him, and does it to him before he can prove that he is related to the murderer, it is to bully the weak and act recklessly.

Viscount Sachs did not directly answer Xia Zuo's question.

Viscount Saxophone passed by Xia Zuo and walked into the room under Xia Zuo's gaze.

Sachs came to Neil's side.

"Oh my God, I didn't expect such cruel things to happen in my territory. ”

Viscount Saxophone looked at Neil's strange corpse in front of him, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Viscount Sachs saluted Neil's body with a sad expression.

"You are a qualified guard, may God accept you in the kingdom of heaven. ”

This is the traditional blessing of the deceased in Atlanta, and the legend says that the supreme deity "God" will accept every good person in the holy kingdom of heaven, so that the good people will become angels in heaven and accompany God.

Of course, for the Soul Descendants, they naturally know that there is no such "God" in this world.

Perhaps the supreme deity "God" located in the World Tree God Kingdom in the Age of Mythology really existed.

But at least, it certainly doesn't exist now.

The era of the old gods is long over, and now is the age of mankind, the age of balance, the age of balance.

"Your Excellency, I know you are saddened. Viscount Sachs turned his head and looked at Xia Zuo, who was questioning him.

"I'm just as sad. ”

"He's my guard, after all. ”

"But now is not the time to get carried away by this sadness. Viscount Saxophone said with a sincere face, as if he could not see anything else.

"We should calm down and be unanimous in our dealings. ”

"Now we have griffons on the outside, and traitors on the inside. ”

"We must unite to resolve the incident and not stop at mutual suspicion. ”

"I can assure you that this matter has nothing to do with me. Viscount Sachs explained sincerely.

"While it's true that I'm hiding something, and I don't allow anyone else to talk about things in the castle, believe me, I'm not cruel enough to do that, and I don't have any hostility toward you, Your Excellency. ”

"Please trust me, at least for the time being. Viscount Sachs said very sincerely.

Xia Zuo stared at Saxophone and did not speak for a while.

So, should we trust him?

After Neil's death, the biggest beneficiary is Sachs, and his suspicion is too great.

It can't be that a soul-born murderer who looks bad at Neil suddenly appears and kills Neil.

This is obviously even more outrageous.

It is better to believe that it is Sax who has other soulborns behind him, and this soulborn helps Sachs kill Neil, and by the way, he blames Edith.

Let's kill each other with Dark Veil and Edith, and finally the soul-born fisherman on Sachs's side wins.

Anyway, the griffin has been hit hard by us soul descendants, and our role is beginning to diminish, if there is a more loyal soul descendant behind the saxophone at this time, then it doesn't matter if we stay or not.

But we have no proof.

We can't prove that Sachs is really related to the murderer.

What if we guess that he is most likely related to the murderer? Before there is definite evidence, if we do it to Saxophone, it will be equivalent to doing it to the human nobles, and then the nobles of the city of Clara should riot.

Although the human nobles knew about the existence of the Soul Descendants and befriended the Soul Descendants, the human nobles were not slaves of the Soul Descendants, so how could they just tolerate the official Soul Descendants taking action against a human viscount without sufficient reasons and evidence?

Moreover, if Saxes is captured, the entire Saxophone territory will be thrown into chaos, and the people of the entire territory may not be able to live well, unless they can let Sax's eldest son succeed him as the new lord of the territory.

But Sachs himself had no children.

And Sachs, he's not alone.

Sachs belongs to the famous Brenda family, the only son of the Count of Brenda, and if he accidentally leads to the upper echelons of the Brenda family, he will be in trouble.

In a big family like Brenda, there are always a few soul descendants inside.

Maybe it's a soul descendant born from the marriage of a family member and a soul descendant, or maybe it's a soul descendant who is hired by a soul descendant, or it may be an acquired soul descendant born after an acquired transformation.

All in all, if you make a quick shot at Viscount Sax, it is very likely to stab the hornet's nest.

This is not a consequence that a soul hunter team like the Night Curtain can bear casually.

"That's enough, Natsuzo. Anos approached Shazo, "Just trust him for now." ”

"We still have things to do, and now is not the time to argue with him. Anos glanced at the saxophone, who seemed to have a sincere face, and said lightly.

“...... Good. Xia Zuo nodded slightly.

"Your Excellency, you can go back and rest first. Anos's voice was flat, and he couldn't hear his emotions.

"I see. Sachs seemed relieved.

"We still have things we want to discuss, and we need to be quiet. ”

"As for ...... Neil's corpse. Arnoston paused.

"I understand that I will find someone to bury him properly, in the manner of a decent person's burial. Sachs said sincerely.

"Brother. Edith suddenly spoke and said to Xia Zuo.

"Since you believe me, then I can ......"

Edith meant to be able to turn Neil into an undead, but Edith didn't finish her sentence when she suddenly stopped.

Because of Edith, she seemed to sense something.

The same goes for Jasmine, Jasmine's hand had already let go of Natsuzo's hand after Edith arrived, and Jasmine just looked at Natsuzo quietly, waiting for him to make a decision.

“...... No. Xia Zuo shook his head, "Neil, he's gone." ”

"Then let him just go and leave as a normal human being. ”

"May his soul rest in peace. Shazo glanced at Neil again, then walked over to the Arnos group.

"I hope that when we leave here, we will see Neil in his grave. ”

"Don't try to do anything to Neil's body. Xia Zuo suddenly snapped at Viscount Sax.

"How could I do that. Viscount Sachs hurriedly repudiated Xia Zuo's words, "I will definitely bury him as an excellent guard." Sachs was very sincere.

Xia Zuo let Sax go, and then gathered with the people of Anos, and Edith followed Xia Zuo, as if she was worried that Anos and the others felt that they might hurt Xia Zuo, Edith deliberately kept herself from being too close to Xia Zuo, and of course, not too far away.

Well, goodbye, Neil.

May your soul rest in peace.

You were the first person I accidentally killed.

You're the first, but I also hope you'll be the last.

Do you know?

I regret it.

Feeling angry.

Feeling scared.

Because......

I don't want to hurt anyone because of me.
