Eyes
Mephistophelis was not afraid, propped his hands on his cane, looked at the surrounding security guards and said: "Gentlemen, I am shocked by your behavior, I still advise you, I just want to attend a party inside, your current behavior makes me feel very regretful, I hope you have a judgment on the current situation......" He pointed to the corpse on the ground, looked around the security guards and said: "This is an example of not listening to advice, I don't think you want to be like him." ”
"Put your hands up and get on the ground, and we promise not to hurt you in any way." There was a loud yelling from a security guard.
"Oh?" Mephistopheles turned to look at the man who was shouting, a black security guard, "If we can handle this peacefully, I'll keep you safe, I swear." He raised a hand and swore to the security guards.
The black security guard felt insulted and threatened, and walked towards Mephistopheles with a gun, while Mephistophelis looked at a bald security guard next to him, his hand waved in front of him, and before the black security guard could get close to the bald security guard, he turned around and exploded the black security guard's head, and before the other two people could react, the bald security guard did not hesitate to kill the remaining two, and then, he raised his gun and killed himself.
Mephistopheles shook his head and looked at the four corpses that had fallen back on the ground, and said regretfully: "Oh, I really don't understand, why are you so stubborn. ”
The wooden door of the mansion was pushed open, the heavy wooden door made a "clanging" sound, the party in the hall was interrupted by strangers who suddenly broke in, everyone stopped to look at the people who did not know how to count, and a gust of wind blew from outside the door to hit the whole hall, and the nobles of men and women in the hall were a little overwhelmed and whispered, while Mephistopheles Phyllis stood at the gate and said to everyone in the house: "Gentlemen, ladies, good evening, in the Duke of Lower Felice, it is an honor for me to participate in the carnival of the night, Please don't disturb your Yaxing because of my uninvited arrival. ”
Although Mephistopheles said this, the hall was still wary of the stranger, and he walked to the middle of the hall, and the guests in the hall flashed a path, and everyone was very puzzled by the intention of the visitor, looking at the well-dressed but his behavior was indeed a little unkind, and Mephistopheles took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray and walked to the high platform on the stairs.
He turned around and raised his glass and said to everyone: "Come, let the beautiful music sound, don't disturb your interest because of my joining, and don't waste the beautiful night, toast to the longevity of our family, to the guests who have come from afar, and to the world to cheer for our immortality." Mephistopheles didn't care about the reaction of the others, and took a sip of the champagne in his glass alone, and before he could finish it, he heard someone talking from the stairs behind him.
"Who is so rude, this is the Duchess Ophelina's private ball, uninvited, we will be sorry for your rudeness, and you will pay the punishment you deserve."
Mephistopheles looked back and saw a young girl, and behind her was a dignified and noble lady in an evening gown. When he reached the landing of the staircase, the majestic and noble lady walked up to Mephistopheles, who went up the stairs very gentlemanly and bowed two more steps away.
"Ah, you are the Duke of Ophelina, and it is a great honor to meet you in Lower Morpheus. Torr. Duke Phyllis. He said word by word.
And when Ophelina heard Mephistophelis's name, she gasped, and she was hiding her nervousness, trying to hide her surprise with a calm breath.
The audience was even more amazed, and there were even more whispers below, and the security guards who came out of the other doors surrounded Mephistophelis on the stairs and pointed a pistol at him, while Mephistophelis didn't care about the pistol behind him, smiling and waiting for Ophelina, who was patiently waiting for the head of the house's reply.
Ophelina quickly calmed down and took a deep breath, maintaining her family's pride and sense of honor and not being able to be intimidated by the demon in front of her, she waved her hand to the security guards and motioned for them to step back, then turned back to the girl who was with her and whispered in her ear for a moment.
She gracefully stretched out a hand and asked Mephistophelis to follow her upstairs, and Mephistophelis raised her glass to drink the remaining champagne, turned and handed the glass to the domineering girl, and raised her hand to make a salutation on her forehead, and followed Ophelina upstairs, and the girl looked at Mephistophelis's back viciously, and her blue pupils turned red.
Mephistophelis followed Ophelina to the second floor, and the sound of long, beautiful music resounded behind him, as if his presence did not disturb the rhythm of the ball.
The two stepped on the soft carpet, and the long corridor was lined with ornaments, medieval samurai armor, broadswords, oil paintings, and all kinds of antiques, as if they had entered the exhibition hall of a museum, and Mephistopheles walked up to an oil painting and stopped to look at the figure of a nobleman in the painting, as if he had fallen into a distant memory.
Ophelina, who was in front, looked back and saw Mephistopheles waiting for him to follow, and after looking at it for a while, Mephistophelis came up and said: "Ah, seeing the portrait of the Duke of Herbert, his courage and gentle demeanor still make me remember it vividly, we are like old friends who have not seen each other for many years, we met as if it were yesterday, he is a respectable gentleman and a respected warrior." ”
"Yes, he is everything to us, and he is our beginning, and we respect him and admire him." Ophelina spoke of Herbert's supreme glory and raised her head slightly to show pride.
"It was natural, and I was equally pleased with what he had done, and I was glad to have lived up to all that I had done to him, and to see the longevity of the nobles."
"I don't dare to agree with your words." Ophelina replied grimly.
At the end of the corridor, there is a tall mahogany door, carved with ancient medieval carvings, the wooden door is very well maintained, exudes a quaint luster, the entrance door is a marble structure hall, the curtains on both sides are heavy and solemn, in the middle is a large round table, around the round table are 13 medieval wooden chairs, each seat is wide and heavy. On the wall facing the gate is a large stone sculpture of a man holding a woman in his arms, and on the surrounding walls are a variety of weapons and shields from the Cold Weapon Era. Underneath each pillar is a samurai armor ornament, and above it are ornamental heads of animals, bears, wolves, cheetahs, and more.
In the middle of the hall are four marble pillars to form a large square, in the middle of the square is a round table, in the middle of the table hollowed out of the ground is the family crest, on the left and right are the jumping unicorn and the lion supporting a medieval four-grid round shield, the top of the round shield is a crown and inside are the sword, the cross, the double-headed eagle and the knight's helmet, Ophelina sits in the middle of the round table, Mephistophelis walks along the table, It seems to be a scholar who has come to see ancient architecture.
Mephistopheles continued to admire the decoration of the hall when he saw another painting of a knight on horseback holding a maiden in her hand, whose skirt was seized by a half-decomposed corpse.
Mephistophelis turned to Ophelina and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the German painter Bardon. Grian created Knight, Maiden and Death, right. ”
Ophelina didn't say anything, but still looked at Mephistophelis with those cold eyes.
Mephistopheles continued to admire the painting and continued: "The girl and the god of death are fighting, but this battle is provoked by the brave knight, who wants to help the girl get rid of the entanglement of death...... Drenched dutifully, and ....... ”
"Please come here today, it is not as simple as a simple visit or visit." Ophelina interrupted Mephistopheles' efforts to admire the painting.
"Of course, why think things are so complicated?" Mephistopheles plays with his cane.
"Your abilities are stronger, everything in the world is under your control, and we are nothing to you." Ophelina said coldly.
"Don't be so pessimistic, Duchess Ophelina, under the leadership of your Herbert family, you have developed strong and prosperous, we should feel ashamed compared to you, and I think we should throw away the previous estrangement, re-embark on the road of strong cooperation, and join hands to create glory again, instead of wasting precious lives here."
"What are we? Neither of God, nor of man, nor of the demons of hell, we have made it clear that you want to 'cooperate' a hundred years ago, we cannot help you, and I have no right to accept the invitation and cooperation from hell without permission, and it seems that you will be disappointed this time. ”
"Wait, don't answer me in such a hurry, since you don't have the right to decide, then you should summon the elders of the 'Council' to be present and let all the sect masters of the 'Blood Clan' discuss the details of cooperation, I don't think it's difficult to make this proposal."
"No, I refuse, I won't open the Council, and I won't summon the elders to be there." Ophelina calmly refused, she was hiding her anger, her body trembling because of the excitement, and she straightened her back in an unyielding posture.
Mephistophelis turned into a puff of smoke and appeared in front of Ophelina in an instant, Ophelina looked at the demon in front of her, showing a frightened and nervous look, and he stared at Ophelina helpless with condescending eyes, he didn't want to go around in circles and play tricks, he wanted to answer simply, but he was tired of getting no response to such a request.
Ophelina wanted to get up, it didn't matter if she wanted to resist or leave, Mephistophelis poked the silver end of her cane directly into Ophelina's shoulder and pushed her back to the seat, silver sizzled white smoke when it touched her skin, and she cried out in pain from the burn, she grabbed her cane and tried to get rid of the silver's continuous damage to her, but it was in vain.
Mephistophelis finally revealed his demonic nature from under the gentleman's skin, black eyes, and in a buzzing angry voice, shouted to Ophelina.
"Since I can create your blood clan and destroy your entire clan, I am not here to plead or discuss, but to order you to gather all the blood clan elders in three days, and conduct a discussion here, I want to find someone, and you and your clan have no right to refuse, if you refuse me again, I think that girl just now is your daughter, you know what I will do."
Mephistophelis lifted the document in her hand and threw it on the table, Ophelina looked at Mephistophelis with hatred, she used her strong willpower to resist the damage of silver to him, and the pain of the burn made her forehead sweat and breathless, and she did not allow any compromise on her own.
"Yes, it's you, you're the same as your father Herbert, this scene makes me excited, and what I can't forget is this anger, helplessness and despair, like a walking corpse, at my mercy, I let him live like a 'human' again." With that, Mephistophelis withdrew his cane in hatred, and the silver burn on Ophelina's shoulder slowly began to heal, although it was superficially restored, but it still hurt her heart.
"I'll come back in the evening in three days, and I hope you don't let me down or do anything stupid. You know what I can do. ”
After saying that, a strong wind outside the window blew open the heavy curtains and floor-to-ceiling windows, making a "clang" sound of doors and windows hitting hard objects, the windows made a crisp shaking sound, Mephistophelis turned into black smoke and flew out, the wind blowing in from outside blew Ophelina, the cool wind raised her long hair, held up her skirt, Ophelina slowly walked to the windowsill to see how clear and bright the night was under the moonlight.
"Father, what should I do? Please give me a hint. She muttered silently, making her feel that the family would soon be in a whirlpool of trouble, since the last time the family had fallen, a demon had also visited, and her father and her husband had become a cloud of ash and dust and the dust of the earth.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a voice sounded outside the door, "Mom, are you okay?" Can I come in? "Thomas. Barrico, you're ready to hand over your hourglass, while it's still too late. ”。
"No, I'm not ready, I guess I still have something to deal with, I'm looking for you for something else." Thomas forced his composure, sweat running down his forehead, and 'Death' looked at Thomas strangely with his head sideways.
"Since you don't want to hand over your 'time' to summon me, I admire your courage very much, you are a rare 'warrior' among human beings, everyone avoids me, no one can face my eyes......"
