Chapter 1 The Earl

Next Chapter

The candles on the walls flickered with pale firelight, like ghosts screaming in them, endless underworld, rotten remnants...... The lit soul illuminated the great temple. A carpet of Mithril and red gold is inscribed with the true names of the gods......

A line of strange truth incantations squirmed on the wall, as if it were alive, showing the truth of the world to the outside world...... The truth that makes you lose your mind at a glance!

The murals on the walls are the stories of the devastated souls of the gods - they are gods, they don't know what it means to be invincible, and their power comes from this endless world. They are like gluttonous worms, sucking every nutrient of the world, how ironic, it is they who support the world.

On the pillars of the palace were carved dragons and phoenixes—withered gray beasts, with countless eyes, weeping and feebly, closing their eyes, roaring and screaming, and countless deformed monsters pouring out of the ground, a wasteland, where people devoured their kind, monsters, smiling like nightmares. They guide humanity and show that they are the dirtiest, the most ...... in their hearts Secret that everyone ......; The pale woman, her face is like a whiteboard that has been erased, where there should be a mouth, stretching and shrinking, chanting, the nursery rhyme of "mother and son filial piety......

At the end of the carpet are several low staircases, and the patterns on the stairs are like the separation between heaven and hell, but they are obviously going up, but they are stepping into hell.

A tall young man, dressed in a gilded tuxedo, had a calm and pale complexion, and his handsome face and eyelids were close together, as if he was immersed in a beautiful sleep...... Mirror flower, water moon. Slightly whitish, thin lips, and ...... Purple lips. The emaciated face revealed a ...... How to say it, a young man with a face like a crown of jade, if you torture for more than ten days, this is what it looks like.

Slender, while ...... The pale fingers, constantly tapping on the keys, soothing, gentle, and eerie, sounding, like a blind mother caressing a baby in her arms, a deformed child. Sleep gently and don't worry about how you look...... This is a world without light, for me and for you. The truth of the world, or, or the falsehood, is nothing that matters to us...... We are nothing more than innocent fools trapped in our shells.

The soft sound of the piano continued, and at this time, a butler-like man wearing a white shirt and black coat walked in briskly and hurriedly spoke: "Uncle...... Earl...... Yes, it's ...... outside" - the sound of the piano stopped abruptly. In front of this young man who seemed to be harmless to humans and animals, the housekeeper was stumbling, and a fine cold sweat oozed from his head.

"It's okay, I'll talk about it later. The fingers stroked outward from the middle of the piano, and the boy's tone was soft, with a slight hint of femininity, but the voice was slightly hoarse, a little magnetic.

"That's it—the Moon Song Imperial Princess...... With Her Royal Highness the Princess, the marriage proposal came...... Earl you?"

"When I'm done with the song, let them wait outside for half an hour. The visitor is a guest, treat it well, and don't hurt the little princess's Yaxing...... My sister hasn't come back yet, has she? ”

"Uh...... Yes, yes, Miss is still outside, you know...... Miss has always been like this. ”

"Well, I see...... You go first, wait for me to play. Motionless, like a statue, the sound of the piano ...... as the butler slowly withdrew The melodious, absurd, as if it had violated the forbidden music of the gods, came out again, as if it never stopped, as if it were ...... Fleeting?

The butler exhaled a little bit of turbid breath - whew, okay...... I was so tired, I felt uncomfortable, and I stroked my back a little - the back of my shirt was already soaked. Whew, ...... yourself It should be the housekeeper who has been staying for the longest time in this earl's palace...... It is said that the previous ones have all been dismissed, and today is the ninth day, and the contract can be signed tomorrow. You know, although it is difficult to serve here, in the city, this family is the highest pay.

Because, this family is the only one, the hereditary warlock Count!

Warlock...... Sketch out maddening truths, and bear the price of absurdity and weirdness—that is, the price of the soul!

The Ship of Theseus - When every part of a ship is replaced, what is left of you? flawless...... Body? Is that you?

When you are covered in disgusting pus, and your white skin is crawling with black bed bugs, they are what you have exchanged with the gods and the world...... Price...... Hey...... So, how do you ...... What should you do? You have to use your most beloved person, your family, your lover......

After a pause in the hallway, I secretly rejoiced in my heart that I could bring a little more into the house...... A little oil and water, this ...... The aristocracy reigned, the warlocks put everything in their purses, and the merchants were covered in oil.

"Well, you go and get paid, entertain Your Majesty's relatives, tomorrow, don't come, butler, it seems useless. ”

In an instant, the butler's face turned gray, the corners of his eyes hung down, and he walked out of the door in frustration.

"Why...... Hehe......" The butler slowly walked out of the door, looking at this, the magnificent world.

This world, of course, is fake...... It's just a little bit of magic. That's right, this thriving city is magical—on the streets, on the stalls, the plump and tender vegetables, in fact, are ...... Rotten leaves, fresh dew on top, in fact...... It's the slime that bugs crawl through, and the meat that looks good is actually large, disgusting worms that emit a disgusting stench. However, this is still a wonderful imperial city.

Well, wonderful ......

Disgusting worms, emaciated city dwellers, and glittering aristocrats who don't want a little dust. The world is so unfair.

I turned around and walked indoors, but I didn't see the mother and daughter...... The housekeeper secretly said that it was not good, so he hurriedly ran in......

The elegant sound continues, beautiful, like the song of the goddess of the moon. Bleeding eyes, strange purple pupils...... This world, the weird moon, is ...... Purple Moon. It's beautiful? It's like the eyes of a god, or the eyes of a monster.

This is the Sonata of the Moon...... It's somewhere, unspeakable warlock, and it's an artist at the same time...... Just when I was watching the full moon, I went crazy - he wrote very good works, everyone was like an addiction to dependence, as if there was no social place, there were his works, but his name was erased from the world, and after he wrote the last masterpiece. He came to his senses, and then, to delete all his work. Of course, no one remembers him now, the above is just a little conjecture, and apart from his works, he is erased from the world, as if he never existed, as if it were ......

It's as if it has been completely erased from the world, leaving no trace.

Flick it gently...... Just then, when the second movement was played, the young man's eyebrows were white, the blood vessels in his body began to bulge, the whole person was paralyzed on the piano, blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, no matter how he wiped it with the handkerchief in his hand, he ......

A steady stream of blood, long soaked in the handkerchief, followed the keys, stayed, flowed onto the pedals, and dripped onto the ground......

"Ahem...... Hehe, water...... Water...... People who try to glimpse the future with flowing water...... When do I ......, though? I had a sister, why...... What are they talking about......" The blood vessels constricted, stood up, and covered the piano.

The blood-stained white lining, and, the dirty tuxedo—

The boy opened his eyes. A faint sky blue, and a little ...... Strange metallic luster, without a little emotional fluctuation, like a wooden person, like a, a person without a heart.

There is no heart, and there is no ...... Affection. And only in this way can we ...... Maybe inside him, there is another shy boy who is cowering.

However, it is already dead......

And, just now, this scene happened to be seen by some people. A middle-aged beautiful woman with a smirk led a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl and walked slowly.

"Count Lanyuan...... Do you know what the consequences of neglecting the royal children are?"

The middle-aged beauty smiled and walked directly along the carpet to the blue abyss.
