Chapter 50: "Rehearsal"
The air was a little stagnant, and in just a few minutes, Irene's expression changed ten thousand colors.
In the end, she suddenly smiled with relief:
"Thank you."
"Lord Castle, this joke is not bad."
Xu Nan was silent.
Am I joking?
The devil or something, it's not that I haven't eaten it, after all, the taste of the low-level devil Dwayne Johnson on the island in the middle of the lake is still in his mouth.
He also has a title dedicated to the Hell race!
However, Xu Nan didn't bother to explain these things, he knew very well that the existence whispering in Erin's ear should be the one who controlled the source material of Theron wine.
Because he had heard for a long time that Barnes had a different view of Erin, especially when it came to the supply of Theron, he almost did everything he wanted.
Because of this, when Erin writes stage plays, the creative speed is extremely smooth, I don't know how many times faster than before.
It's definitely not something the devil can do.
At least it's an evil god with a little godhead!
Xu Nan looked at Erin and sensed all kinds of danger signals coming from her.
He knew that this girl, like Barnes, was probably an important part of the mastermind's plan.
If you want to go according to the original plan and get it out of the way, and the Lion King will come in to solve it, then it's best not to make a fuss – at least not before the Mudon Gala.
In fact, reason told him that this was the most correct way to deal with it.
Otherwise, once the mastermind behind the scenes has insight into the crisis and shrinks back, the impact on Wildfire City will be endless. Xu Nan will not be stable when he becomes the lord of this city in the future, after all, it is impossible for the Lion King or Romang to keep an eye on this place all the time.
But can you really give up this lovely girl like this?
He was asking himself.
Green's sincere words of please were still in his ears, Xu Nan thought that he had made a decision in cold blood, but in the end, he suddenly felt that he still couldn't bear it.
He wanted to do something.
He looked at Erin seriously: "Now that you know about the existence of that devil, why don't you do something?" ”
"I can help you."
"Trust me, I have what it takes."
Even if he didn't, Paradise Lost did; At this time, Xu Nan suddenly didn't bother to calculate the gains and losses.
However, Erin shook her head:
"Thank you, Lord Castle, but I don't need help."
"You may think I've lost my mind, but I know for myself that I'm more sober than I ever have."
"I'm just an insignificant little person and I want to fulfill my own dreams...... My mother's dream. ”
"I know what you're trying to say, I might die, but everybody will, don't I?"
"I want to finish this work, even if I die, this work will be handed down......"
She closed her eyes in intoxication, her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she was completely immersed in her own world.
Xu Nan noticed that the green marks on her neck became more and more obvious.
"Not a Hell's Spell......"
At this moment, Xu Nan suddenly hated himself for not learning and not knowing.
His level of knowledge was insufficient, and Erin lacked the ability to discern potential rituals or spells attached to herin.
He could only guess an approximate one.
"Perhaps, you can write a good work without the help of Theron wine, without the power of that devil?"
Xu Nan persuaded in a low voice: "Since you have already sensed that something is wrong, why do you have to fall into it?" ”
Erin smiled lightly:
"Because I know my mediocrity."
Xu Nan was speechless.
He could feel that at this moment, Erin's mind was indeed very clear.
She wasn't distorted, nor was she in the feverish state of Barnes.
At that moment, a flash of realization came to his heart.
"Samples 1 and 2 have very different effects."
"If the fake wine promoted by the God of Seven Blood will make that super-magical civilization twist and go crazy; Then the effect of Theron is clearly not like this. It will make you very calm and sober and at the same time full of creativity......"
"What about the side effects? What are the side effects? Is it just addictive? It doesn't make sense! What the hell does that guy want? Who is it, and why was it able to obtain the divine creature of the God of Blood? ”
More doubts poured into his mind.
However, Irene, who was sitting across from him, began to talk about some secret past events to herself.
Perhaps it was Xu Nan's extraordinary charm that attracted her.
Maybe it was something else: she might have had a premonition.
“…… My mother, who died when I was very young. ”
"In my impression, she is the most beautiful woman in the world, and all the advantages of my body are inherited from her, except for ***, this thing is probably inherited from my bastard father......"
"She's an Efaria, she's a great writer and an opera...... In Afaria, she has a high status; Later, because of the war, she met my father, the bastard, who was just one of the lowest-ranking soldiers in the kingdom of Lane...... He brutally raped her, and then died on the battlefield not long after. ”
"My mother's wish was to create a work that would last forever; It's a pity that before she could finish it, everything was ruined by the war; No one knew why there was a war, but I later learned that the world of Epfaria had been captured by the gods of the universal world, and it was a battle between worlds. It stands to reason that I should hate the world very much. ”
"But I can't."
Speaking of this, Erin's face showed a clear look of nostalgia: "I once returned to the jungle of Afaria. ”
"It is like spring all year round, it is very warm, there is no war and strife; It's a paradise for the people of Wildfire City. But my people hate me because of my blood...... Some people tried to vent the trauma of the war on me...... Of course, I won't blame them secretly, I'll just scold them directly......"
"Then I came to Wildfire City, and the people here accepted me. I've come to realize that the people of the Ice Plains are not willing to go to war, and that countless families in the Eastern Kingdom have been shattered in the jungles of Afaria...... War doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, so I accepted it all, and I'm happy here. ”
"I once thought, if I die one day, I must be buried in the cemetery in the north of the city, after all, there are all my old acquaintances, and I will not be lonely when I die in the future, and I don't need to walk a few steps to get up restless at night, and the tombstone next door is an old friend......"
At this, she laughed silently, as if she was telling something that had nothing to do with her.
Xu Nan gently held her hand, and he could sense her mood.
She really doesn't care about life and death.
Maybe so many years of hard life are enough torture for her.
Even if he is so open-minded and chic on the surface, he is rejected by his own people, which is a little sad, right?
"I really only have two wishes."
Erin carefully placed a small biscuit in the palm of her hand and drew a beautiful pattern: "The first one is to fulfill my mother's last wish to create a work that can be called a great work." ”
"The second one might be a bit extravagant."
She smiled a little embarrassedly: "My mother once said that after the death of every Efaria, they should return to their roots, they will be buried under the ancestral tree to become nutrients in the jungle, and returning to the jungle is our final destination. ”
"Of course, I'm not pure Efaria, and I don't want to be nourished by anything, so the Chengbei Cemetery is where I belong...... But I still want to see if the sacred ancestral tree in my mother's mouth is really towering into the sky......"
There was a long silence in the living room.
Erin suddenly raised her head and looked into Xu Nan's eyes:
"Am I going to die?"
Xu Nan nodded lightly.
Through his investigation and retrieval these days, it can be basically determined that Barnes and Erin are the most important chess pieces selected by the mastermind behind the scenes. Generally speaking, the death of such a person is inevitable after suffering from too much pressure from the evil god.
Unless, someone kills that evil god right now.
But obviously, Xu Nan can't do it, even Stephen Sand's law enforcement team couldn't do it many years ago, and there are not many people in this world who dare to say that they can do it.
After all, at that time, there were Stephen Sangha Yaye level characters - almost all of them were legendary powerhouses, not comparable to the six apostles of parallel goods like Emma.
"That's a pity."
"But I really have no way out, I've made a decision."
Erin stood up and stretched in the sunset: "I'm going to finish that work." ”
"No one can stop me."
"Finally, thank you for the little cookies. Lord Castle. ”
With that, she winked playfully and slowly disappeared down the stairs.
"There's no way that idiot Greene is going to bake."
It was the last thing she said.
Xu Nan sat in the living room and smiled silently.
He suddenly wanted to forcibly stop Erin from writing the so-called ending - because he had already guessed that this, this revue, this so-called wonderful ending, should be the most important part of the mastermind plan behind the scenes.
It could be a resurrection ritual of an evil god deity, an evil sacrificial ritual, or an advent ritual.
"This fucking otherworld!"
Xu Nan couldn't help but complain: "Why is it that wherever I run, the evil god goes?" ”
Emmorean, the God of Blood, and the man behind Theron...... Xu Nan even doubted that he would be able to brush up on the evil gods of the general world next.
He controlled his impulses and warned himself: Tomorrow will be the day when the black hands behind the scenes will come to light.
He must be ready for all the darkness that may befall him.
After all, it's not just the lives of Erin or Barnes that are at stake, it's the safety of the entire Wildfire City!
After a while, Xu Nan finally controlled his emotions.
He planned to leave Erin's house in silence.
It's just that when he was leaving, he suddenly saw a familiar figure at the entrance of the alley.
The man was wearing a tuxedo and had a very good demeanor.
He stood in the moonlight and looked at Xu Nan with a light smile:
"Come with me to a gala."
"Mr. Sue."
Xu Nan looked at Barnes, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart:
"I remember tomorrow is Mudon's Day."
Barnes smiled:
"That's true."
"But any great evening party needs to be rehearsed in advance, doesn't it?"
Xu Nan's pupils shrank.
The actions of the mastermind behind the scenes were actually advanced!
