Chapter 176: The Last Supper (I)

The beautiful golden butterfly also flew around in the castle where the three sisters lived today, and the lovely maids could not catch up with them. Lush flowers and trees stand quietly in a corner of the castle garden, gently swaying their foliage in the breeze after the storm.

This garden is the quietest corner of the castle and where Nanali spends the most time in the castle. Every plant and tree here was planted by her own hands and then cultivated well.

Most of the trees and flower seeds come from the forests around the lake, and there are no particularly rare varieties, but all of them exude vitality.

Today, though, we have a special guest.

She is the current true owner of this castle, the eldest of three sisters. After finishing the nominal reconciliation breakfast, she went straight to the place and brought her tools.

Sitting on the largest flower tree in the castle, Nanali looked at her sister with bewildered eyes.

Today's sister looks a little different from usual, she actually brought tools to the garden, does she want to plant something.

"Well, here it is. Miss Hugo quickly picked up her target and began to pick up a shovel and dig a hole by the tree at Nanali's feet.

As she diggs, she hums a song that Nanali doesn't know, and it seems to be some kind of old nursery rhyme that has been passed down for a long time.

"My doll is a good doll, with bright eyes and snow-white skin, and a round face like a little lady swaying in the wind. ”

"My doll is a good doll, even if it has a severed head, its clear eyes still reflect the blue sky. My doll is a good doll, and even if you ignore her, she tilts her head and smiles at you. ”

"My doll is a good doll, playing alone in the house, and my dad can't wake him up no matter how much he calls him. ”

After digging a pit about a meter long, just enough to accommodate a certain human figure, Miss Hugo put down the shovel in her hand contentedly, began to hum another song, and at the same time began to pick up an ancient book made of papyrus, and slowly tread along the pit.

"My sister carried the doll on her back and went to the garden to see the flowers, and the doll cried to her mother, and the birds in the trees were laughing haha. ”

"Doll, doll, why are you crying? Doll, doll, don't cry anymore, just say what is on your mind. ”

It's normal at this stage, but the lyrics that begin below make Nanali feel a chill in her back, as if something eerie is spreading.

"The doll said, the fog is coming, the fog is coming, the doll is crying, I miss my father, I miss my mother, I want to go home. ”

"The fog came, the fog came, it was getting dark, and Dad got drunk and walked towards Mom with a knife. ”

"Daddy, Daddy cut a lot, Mommy, Mommy cried, and there were red tears. Mom, Mommy's head fell off, and the red tears stained the bed, why did Mom cry?"

"Dad and Dad didn't speak, he raised a knife and made the doll into a doll, so the doll couldn't go home, and he couldn't find his mother......"

As Miss Hugo stepped along, the pit she had dug with her own hands suddenly became blurred, and a smell that Nanali felt very uncomfortable covered it, an energy that was incompatible with the natural breath she loved, as if it had opened a door to something.

"Doll, doll wants to play hide and seek with you, and if you can't find it, you will come to be a ghost, and go to a place where no one will come back. Miss Hugo placed the papyrus book in her hand in front of the pit, and then politely lowered her body and pressed her three fingers on the cover of the papyrus book.

The title of the book, "Codex of Lost Ghosts", is a cursed forbidden technique in the legend of the southern tribal area, and the person who needs Miss Hugo's own hands to exercise this forbidden technique is naturally a certain colored fox who wants to rob her lover without knowing whether to live or die.

This is an ancient curse that existed before magic was formed and the southern region was still in a state of savagery. The power summoned by this curse technique is extremely complex, and even Miss Hugo does not know how to remove it.

However, it doesn't matter if she doesn't know how to get rid of it, she didn't plan to let Paran live anyway.

Holding the golden hair that had fallen from Paland's tail during the fierce battle, Miss Hugo placed it in the middle of the papyrus book, and bowed three more times.

This is the place she chose for Paran's burial, and after burying her body here, this tree will surely bloom the most beautiful next year!

Once the burial is complete, Paran will forever become a part of this tree and become a beautiful flower spirit. Perhaps, she will also have the opportunity to watch her and Ulysses walk hand in hand through this flower tree towards a happy future.

Sure enough, my sister is still the best to be well-behaved and obedient. The flesh and blood of the whole body have become part of the flower tree, and the sister who blooms bright flowers for her and Ulysses is her good sister.

"Sister has become strange...... "Although Nanali didn't understand what Miss Hugo was doing, there was nothing wrong with that bad feeling, she hesitated for a moment, carefully set up a natural enchantment to cover the abnormal area, and then quickly left here and went to the alchemy workshop where Paran was.

"Hehe, my sister won't give up so well, but I'm the same. In her alchemy workshop, Paran counted the high-grade magic gems that Ulysses had helped her refine, and her three tails wagged around with excitement.

Nova Stone, Black Pupil Stone, Moon Crystal ...... All sorts of gems are piled up in the corners of the alchemy workshop and sparkle. Because she was so angry, Miss Hugo didn't notice the extraordinaryness of these gems at that time, and she didn't realize how much power these gems could exert.

Although he is now in the form of a golden-haired jade-faced nine-tailed fox, Paran has not forgotten his knowledge of being an alchemist. When she returned to her alchemy workshop, countless ideas immediately came to her mind about what these gems could do.

The gems that Ulysses had helped her refine were all of the finest of the best, and with these gems, Paran, a first-class alchemist, could use her imagination to do many things that she had not been able to do before due to a lack of sufficient materials.

"Open the sesame door. Speaking to the walls of the alchemy workshop, Paran spoke in code.

With a slight vibration, a dark compartment appeared in the middle of the wall, on which were placed some small bottles, most of which contained various potions and suspicious-looking bones and hair.

These are the alchemy materials that Paran treasures, many of which are special materials that no amount of money can buy, such as the hair of the golden-haired jade-faced nine-tailed fox she used to refine the transformation potion, as well as the bones and scales of the dragon.

"If you want to completely defeat your sister, you still have to pay the real money. Palan picked out a few extremely precious materials from them, and then took out the gems that Ulysses had helped to make.

These gems were intended to be kept by Ulysses as an engagement gift to her. Anyway, as long as Ulysses is there, this gem will definitely be available in the future.

But in order to defeat her sister, who suddenly mastered the wonderful magic without knowing something, she could only endure the pain of cutting her love, and first used some of it to make special potions.

"The three tails are really not enough, we have to improve it again, it is better to go around the six tails, then we have to use dragon blood potions. With a movement of his fingers, Paran picked out several powerful dragon bloods.

The dragons, without a doubt, are one of the most powerful races in this world. They also possess strong **, terrifying spiritual power, can use ancient dragon magic, and were once the rulers of the earth. Their blood has always been a coveted ingredient for all alchemists, and many legendary potions must be based on this material.

For those who are strong at level seven or above, there are very few potions that can play a role in battle, but what Palan wants to refine now is an extremely rare elixir that can greatly improve his combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

"That kind of magic is also very troublesome, and you have to prepare the highest level of forbidden magic potion. Compared to close combat, now I have an absolute advantage. "The body materials of several deep-sea demonic beasts that humans simply can't get were picked out by Paran and placed on the other side.

I have to say that these gems that Ulysses helped Paran refine helped her a lot, and she couldn't get so many high-quality high-grade magic gems on her own. These two potions have extremely high requirements for the quantity and quality of gemstones, and Palan has never had the materials together before.

However, since the gems and materials are available, it is only natural to refine them. If Ulysses is a master of gem refining, then Paran is a master of puppet making and potion refining, and being able to refine the golden-haired jade-faced nine-tailed fox transformation potion (incomplete version) is enough to prove her strength.

"Sister, your good days are finally coming to an end. Using a supernatural separation device to separate the impurities from the material, Paran smiled wickedly with victory in sight.

"The jade blood of the Dream Guardian, the moon crystal, the bluetooth grass, the sweat of the golden-haired jade-faced nine-tailed fox. Throwing the materials into it one by one, Paran entered a frenzied alchemy state.

Paran had also become strange, what should I do?Nanali, who had seen her sister's strange behavior through the crack in the door, sighed and left as quietly as she had come.

............ So, Nanali, who was distressed by the miracles of her sister and sister, finally found Ulysses and confided in him about her troubles.

"You mean, they're all doing strange things?" Ulysses thought the two had been weird, and Nanali might have been overthinking.

"But they were really weird. Ever since you came, they've started to be different from what they used to be. My sister should have been more quiet and wouldn't mess around, and so was Paran, although she used to love alchemy, but this time it seems to be a little too much. For Nanali, who is trying to maintain the relationship between the three sisters, she really can't understand such a change.

"I don't understand why they've changed so much. Although they had quarreled before, they had never been so intense. ”

"I'm sorry. Ulysses felt that it might really be his fault, or that it was his and Saya's. If it weren't for him and her, these girls wouldn't have been swept up in such an inexplicable world.

"It's not Ulysses' fault that you're not in love, my sister and Paran are too involved in love, is that kind of thing really that confusing?" Nanali looked at Ulysses, she didn't really understand what human love tasted like.

It should be said that it is better to be thin by nature, or it is not good to be interested in this kind of thing, in short, she is not very incomprehensible to feelings like love. Because she had never felt that urge herself.

"Nanali, you may not understand...... Actually, I don't know much about it. For Ulysses, the only time a true love affair ended in failure.

desperate to catch up with the hero, want to be with her, until that tragedy happened, I realized my naivety, and finally had to kill the only first love he once loved.

Such a cruelly crushed love is really not worth referencing. So Ulysses really didn't understand why he was confessed by Miss Hugo. For him, Paland's mode of action is simpler and easier to understand, and that is a copy of Hydra!

"Don't you understand? I thought you were experienced. Nanali looked at Ulysses with innocent eyes and said something that pierced him in the heart.

"Experienced, do you think so?" Ulysses smiled bitterly, this is not a thing, after reawakening the memories related to Lara, he feels even more strange to such a beautiful thing as love.

Perhaps, when he was "Jusses", he lost all his memories, and he was simple and simple, but he could understand the meaning of "love" better than he is now. When he retrieved his memories and rewrote them on a blank piece of paper, the simple joy was gone.

However, he does not regret retrieving his memory, because he wants to change, he wants to change the tragedy that happened at that time, and bring back his lost sister with his own hands.

It doesn't matter if there is no blood relationship, whether the soul and body are broken, he doesn't mind, in order to bring Yulia back, he chose the path of the demon king and gave up his long-standing dream of being a god.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that. Even if Ulysses didn't say anything, Nanali could feel the lingering sadness. She found that she seemed to have hurt him unconsciously, and this feeling made her feel very uncomfortable.

"It's okay, if you don't understand, you don't understand, I'm not as good as you think. Ulysses doesn't blame Nanali, and he doesn't understand a lot about his feelings.

Some of the tragic memories of that summer came back when she pierced Lara's body with a sword in the sea of life, and some of them were seen with her own eyes in Sister Mira's summer dreams, but some of them seemed to have been broken and could no longer be remembered.

Perhaps, he lost more than he had imagined.

The beautiful golden butterfly fluttered hard beside Ulysses, flapping its wings as if to comfort her father.

"Don't cry, Daddy. ”

"We'll always be with Dad. ”

"Wherever Daddy goes, we'll go. ”

"Everybody loves Dad. ”

These simple and caring emotions were all felt by Ulysses. He smiled and held out his hand, stopping his child in the palm of his hand.

It doesn't matter, whatever happened in the past is in the past, it's all in the past, and what he needs to do now is to change the tragedy of that time.

Time can't be turned back, but the result can be changed, the reason why he chose the path of the demon king, isn't it just to have the power to change?

"Our strength can be lent to Dad. ”

"Dad can use us whenever he wants. ”

"We are controlling the world. ”

"We're going to be Dad's best kids. ”

The flying golden elves rushed to express their hearts to Ulysses, believing that when Ulysses gave them the order to destroy the world, they would not hesitate to carry it out.

"You guys, such good boys. Looking at the golden butterflies flying around him, Ulysses' heart was healed. No matter how strange the way these children were born, they were all his children.

They were there when he was sad, they were there when he was depressed, they were there for him, they couldn't speak, they could only express their feelings with simple emotions, but they were really good children, really beautiful elves.

He couldn't accept Miss Hugo's too straightforward affection, maybe because something like love was too luxurious for him, but he could easily accept the feelings expressed by these children, and he didn't understand why.

Perhaps, compared to the love he doesn't understand, the simpler feelings sent by his children are easier for him to fall into. He didn't understand what the girl was thinking, but his own children's thoughts were not hidden from him.

Completely sincere communication, these innocent and lovely children, how innocent, how cute, how beautiful.

"Ding!" another pink flag was erected, but strangely enough, it was not between Ulysses and Nanali, but quietly appeared behind Ulysses, where the golden butterflies flew.

On that day, neither Miss Hugo nor Paland came to Ulysses, but each secretly prepared a different killer. Nanali, however, accompanied Ulysses all day and chatted with the golden butterfly beside Ulysses all day.

Night came again, this time without storms, and the sky was clear enough to see the mountains behind the forest in the distance. A full moon hangs over the lake, and the beautiful moonlight can be seen shining in the sky and in the lake.

It was a quiet night, without the fury of last night's storm, and without the thunder and lightning in the sky, it looked like any ordinary full moon night.

Ulysses wandered through the corridors of the castle, which he had been in for several days, and he was somewhat familiar with it. It's a wonderful, old building that blends the best of art from many periods and is an excellent work of art in its own right.

And the beautiful three sisters of the castle and the pretty and lovely maids add a bit of vitality to this castle. If there was anything strange, it was that he had not seen a single person of the same sex in the whole castle, as if only the maids and the three sisters of the castle owner were left in this huge castle.

In the real world, this is impossible. But this world is unrealistic, this is a world created by the great power of Saya, even the sun, stars, and moon in the sky are false, and they are actually the shadows incarnated by his children.

It's a wonderful and incredible world, and the more he stays in it, the more Ulysses discovers something extraordinary about it.

It is completely different from the World Tree Garden that you saw for the first time in Saya, and it has a unique circulation system that not only has a variety of colorful life. The life that lives here is all plants except for the three sisters of the castle and him, but I am afraid that no one who comes into this world will find such a thing.

When the power of falsehood reaches a certain level of inconceivability, then it becomes another reality, just like this fantasy world. This kind of power is a bit like Mira-san's ability to create summer dreams in her heart, but Saya creates not a spiritual world, but a real world.

The Law of Creation - This power has already touched the realm of the gods, even with the help of some props prepared in advance, it is enough to prove the strength of Saya.

So, what is her purpose, why did she create such a world, why did she make them think that they were three sisters, and then wait for him in this castle.

Is this really just a "game"?

What does Saya want to tell him, what do you want him to do in this world?

"Hey, Ulysses. Ulysses' philosophical reflections on the future of this world were interrupted by a petite voice, and he looked up to see that Paran was standing in his way at some point.

But because she was a little shorter and standing around the corner, he didn't even notice that she was here.

"Remember this place?" said Paran, wagging his tail behind him, looking very excited.

"Here...... Ah, it's the first time we've met......" Ulysses looked at the familiar scenery around him, and then at Paland, who was in front of him. The shocking scene of her saddling in front of him with her backpack on her back and her bear panties came to Ulysses' mind.

Speaking of which, it was his first encounter with her in this world, and it was here that the wonderful relationship between him and her began. He still vividly remembers that strange conversation.

"Oh, do you want to marry me?"

"Because, I've read in a book, more than 90 percent of people like this who bump into each other around the corner and are seen in underwear will get married. ”

"What's wrong with the remaining ten percent?"

"The rest are lovers, harems, and eternal lovers, in short, it's almost like getting married. ”

"Okay, qualified!"

"I will allow you to marry that sister, and I will give her to you. As long as you promise me to marry her and open all the big libraries to me when she comes home, it doesn't matter if you marry me. As for Nanali, she won't leave us, so as long as you marry us, you'll get her too. ”

"So, come on, Prince. ”

Paran looked at Ulysses happily, then spun around in front of him happily.

"Look, am I prettier and cuter than I was then?"

"Hmm!" Ulysses had to admit that Paland, who had returned on a stormy night, was indeed more energetic, lovely and touching than before.

In addition, there seems to be an extra charm on her body that she didn't have before, and people can't help but want to get close at a glance. This aura Ulysses is somewhat dΓ©jΓ  vu, as he himself has a similar aura.

"So, get ready to marry me, and soon everything in this castle will be mine. When the time comes, you must refine a lot of gems for me, and you have made an appointment. Paran held out his finger and extended a warm invitation to Ulysses.

Ulysses hesitated, but held out his hand.

"Pull the hook and hang yourself, the penitent will be a slave for 10,000 years!" Paran happily shook Ulysses' little finger, then stretched out his little fragrant tongue and took Ulysses's finger in his mouth in intoxication.

"It tastes so good...... Goo ......"

Looking at Paran, who made a muffled voice, Ulysses sighed, how nice it would be if the personality of such a lovely child was not so strange.

Speaking of which, among the three sisters, Miss Hugo and Paran are actually really like real sisters, both of them are a little weird, and both love to do things by any means, and in all respects, they are strikingly similar.

Only Nanali is different from them, but that's of course, because Nanali is actually a real goblin.

"After knocking my sister down, I'll like you well. Paran greedily sucked the essence emanating from Ulysses's body, just after such a little contact, she felt that her body was becoming hot, it was the instinct of the golden-haired jade-faced nine-tailed fox awakening, the instinctive desire for super-high-quality essence.

After tasting the taste of Ulysses once, she could never forget it.

Although I really wanted to be like Ulysses in this memorable place of first love, because of the decisive moment that I was waiting for, Paran had to suppress his impulse and let go of Ulysses, who had an innocent and cute expression.

It doesn't matter, as long as her sister is executed tonight, she can do whatever she wants. For the sake of that glorious future, let me be patient for a while.

"See you later, you'll be in for a surprise at dinner. After reluctantly looking at Ulysses several times, Paran shook his tail vigorously and disappeared directly at the end of the corridor with a puff of smoke, leaving Ulysses alone in a daze.

"Paran really loves you, why don't you try to accept her for good, Ulysses. Nanali was still so elusive that Ulysses didn't even notice when she was sitting in the tree next to the hallway.

"Does she really like me?" Ulysses was very puzzled by the question, unlike the shy but absolutely serious confession of the well-informed Miss Hugo, everything Paran did looked like a child's nonsense.

Whether it's when they collide here, or when they say they're going to marry him, her performance is exaggerated, like in a game.

Even when she gave it for the first time, she behaved more like a curious and exploratory child, and she didn't look serious at all.

"Yes, of course I like it, but the way Paran likes people is very different from ordinary people. If she didn't like you, she wouldn't be fighting so fiercely with her sister. And, if she doesn't like you, she can't give you her first time. ”

"You're really important to her. This time she really wants to snatch you from her sister's hands. "This kind of thing can only be seen by Nanali, who is an outsider.

Because she is always responsible for mediating the conflicts between her sister and sister, she has prevented many-for-tat confrontations between them. This time, however, she couldn't stop it, because for the first time, the two had what they wanted anywayβ€”someone they liked.

Because I want to, because I cherish it, because I love it more than anyone else, I don't accept mediation, so I have to fight to the end.

So far, it is not Paran, who is already close to Ulysses, who has the upper hand, but the conservative Miss Hugo. Miss Hugo, who has a large library, is born with an advantage over Paran. That's why Paran had to choose such drastic means, wanting to kill his sister out.

It is foreseeable that as long as the real winner is not distinguished, whether it is my sister or my sister, I will never stop.

"What should I do?" Ulysses did not expect his arrival to cause such a storm.

"Treat them sincerely, there is no other way. Nanali, like Ulysses, can't really understand the importance of "love" to human women, let alone the complicated relationship between Paran and Miss Hugo and Ulysses, so she can only give advice on Ulysses' fairy style.

In the goblin clan, jealousy leads to a duel or something, but it's unimaginable. Because they are all born from the tree of life, everyone's relationship is generally not bad, and because the concept of love is very weak, there are very few disputes for this.

"Really......" Thinking back to Nanali's advice to herself, Ulysses unwittingly walked to an unusually remote corner of the castle.

The night breeze was smelling good, and Miss Hugo, dressed in a red gown with a jeweled pendant on her chest, was staring at the corner in front of her.

The two discovered each other's existence at the same time, and Miss Hugo politely bowed her head to Ulysses, and then smiled happily.

"Good evening, Ulysses. ”

"Good evening. Ulysses looked at Miss Hugo, who was dressed in a beautiful dress, and felt as if she was a little different from usual.

"It's really a coincidence, no, it should be fate, to meet you at this time, I originally planned to go to you for dinner after the end, but I didn't expect to meet first. Miss Hugo held the jewel pendant on her chest, her fingers trembling with nervousness.

Ah, I'm sorry, is this the owner of the Great Library, the owner of the whole castle?

"The end, the end?" Ulysses heard a bad word.

"Nothing, just trying to send a little animal that stole me somewhere else. Under the moonlight, Miss Hugo's eyes were slightly sharp.

"Didn't those butterflies come again?" Ulysses thought Miss Hugo was talking about her own children, and that they would no longer sneak into her large library to steal books under Labis's notice.

"No, a little bit bigger...... Don't talk about that, Ulysses, remember what this place is?" Miss Hugo walked up to Ulysses and looked at him with eyes full of memories.

"Here...... I was the puppet at that time...... "Ulysses, of course, remembered that he did not take a walk unconsciously, and it was not an accident that he came to this place, but he did not expect Miss Hugo to be here.

"This is where we started, where you gave me a wedding gift. After we got married, this is the place where we commemorate our love, and I want to plant flowers and trees here...... "Miss Hugo omitted a lot of things, and the flowers and trees were of course best cultivated with the corpse of Paran, which is more memorable.

No problem, the only problem will be solved by her soon, and for this, she is also mentally prepared to have to pay some price.

In addition to the super curse cast by using Paran's hair, the jewel pendant hanging on her chest at the moment is her hidden hole card.

Don't underestimate this pendant that looks just beautiful, the gems inlaid in it are super high-level, and it is an extremely rare one-time use non-attribute treasure.

This kind of technology was basically lost after the ancient language magic, because there were so many fields involved in making it that even those magic emperors of the ancient language magic could not create it by relying on their own strength.

However, they used the forbidden technique of turning humans themselves into materials, replacing many kinds of materials that could not be found with human lives. In that era, countless incredible items were produced, and the main reason for this was this cruel magic, which was also the magic that led to the final end of that era.

The pendant is just a disguise, in fact it is an absolute trump card enough to win a war, a powerful condensation of magic beyond the limits of modern magic.

You can only use it once, but once you start it, you'll be able to decide the winner.

So it's an ace, a weapon that won't be used until the last moment. And clearly, now is the time for it to be used.

At the same moment, Paran held two potions in his alchemy workshop, one of which was dark purple and the other dark green.

Dark purple is a super forbidden potion made from the tissues of various deep sea demons, and a curse potion that can make all magic ineffective in a short period of time.

The dark green color is a dragon's blood potion that greatly increases one's ability, and it is an exclusive potion that especially strengthens the strength characteristics of the golden-haired jade-faced nine-tailed fox.

"Finally caught up. "It took Palan a whole day to synthesize these two potions. However, the time was worth it, as both potions were of high quality, and Paran lost a small pile of precious high-grade magic gems for it.

"It doesn't matter, as long as my sister disappears, the gems, the castle, and the big library are all mine. Carefully placing the two potions close to his body, Paran smiled with triumph in sight.

Tonight's moon is particularly special and round, suitable for going out to make friends, banquets, and killing sisters (sisters)......

(To be continued)
