Chapter 6: The Deal of Oladius
"But I want to say." Trevor Paganey watched Agnes with a smile on his face, and he turned and walked forward.
At the end of the room was a painting covered by a green flannel, and Trevor Paganey stepped forward to tear off the flannel that covered the painting.
The paint on this painting is heavy and colorful, and the people in the painting look three-dimensional. The woman in the painting has black hair and brown eyes, wears a long white dress and a red shawl, and looks ahead with a cold face.
"I think you've seen something like that." Trevor Paganey said as he stared at the painting with a mocking smile.
Of course Agnes had seen it, just above the resting chairs in the piano room of Pagani Manor.
The difference is that there are two people in the piano room of the Pagani estate, a man and a woman, while in this painting there is only a woman; In the painting in the piano room, the woman looks healthy and alive, but in this painting it looks inhuman cold.
"This painting and the one at Pagani Manor don't seem to have been painted by one person?" Agnes asked casually.
"Of course, this painting is from my hand, and the painting at the manor is from Connell." Trevor Paganey turned to look at Agnes and smiled.
"Who's in the picture?" Agnes asked again.
"You don't know?" Trevor Paganey asked, surprised.
Agnes didn't speak, just looked at Trevor Paganey calmly.
"Hahaha, I don't know...... You don't even know ......" Trevor Paganey laughed inexplicably again, bending over and clutching his stomach.
Agnes didn't speak, and stood quietly in place, waiting for Trevor Paganey to regain her composure.
Trevor Pagney's gaze was a little glazed, and he raised his hand to trace the image of the woman in the painting.
"Do you know why I wanted to kill you when I was in Fenerport City?" The corners of Trevor Pagney's mouth returned to the smile he was accustomed to had, and he seemed to be finally back to normal.
"Because I hate." Without waiting for Agnes to answer, Trevor Paganey said directly.
Agnes didn't speak, just listened in silence.
"Do you know why I didn't just kill you, but used the curse enhancer on you?" Trevor Paganey asked, staring at Agnes.
"Because I want you to kill me again." Trevor Paganey said with a complicated expression.
"Although I knew that my idea would never have been realized. How can cattle and sheep tethered to a stake waiting to be slaughtered be left with the strength to resist? They can't even choose how they want to die. Trevor's voice suddenly quickened, as if with an inexplicable sense of grief and indignation, but the corners of his mouth still had a smile on his lips, which looked a little weird.
"Why is this so figurative?" Agnes couldn't help but ask.
"Hahaha, why?" Trevor laughed again.
"Why? Because the House of Pagani is His reserve food! ”
Trevor gasped, closed his eyes slightly, and stood silently. Agnes also looked at Trevor quietly and did not speak.
It took a long time for Trevor to open his eyes and speak, "I don't know if Connor has told you the history of the Pagani family in detail, but there are some things that he didn't know about and broke with me and left the family. ”
"When did the 'Beacon' first appear? I don't think anyone has a better say in this matter than the Pagani family. Trevor Paganey said, staring at Agnes.
"I think you noticed the painting in the room where you stayed last night," said Trevor Pagney, turning his head to look at Agnes, "I trust your powers of observation, the painting is so obvious that you can't fail to think about it." ”
"The painting depicts the family of Vespasian Pagni, the ancestor of the Pagani family, who was loyal to the Castilian family during the Trensoster Empire and successfully obtained the baronial title after the founding of the Kingdom of Fenerport." Trevor Pagni recounts the history of the Pagni family with a strange sense of indifference.
"At that time, the situation of the four kingdoms of the Northern Continent attacking each other gave Ancestor Vespasi a good opportunity to make achievements, but the promotion of the title was not so easy. Even though he was already a 'Potions Professor' at the time, he was still too weak in the Quaternary Age, where the gods still walked the earth. Until he died in the Pale Plague, he failed to become a 'viscount'. ”
"In the 'Pale Catastrophe', not only did Vespassi's ancestor die, but his wife and his eldest son also died one after another in the catastrophe that swept the entire Northern Continent, leaving only his youngest son Oladius with hatred and the existence behind the 'Beacon' I don't know what deal he reached, and he was originally just an ordinary blood adult, and he gained the power of extraordinary abilities that were very different from the original path."
"I remember my father telling me this," Trevor Pagney said slowly, looking at Agnes, "and his power is not limited to any one path, but more so depends entirely on whether he is strong enough to want to do so." His strength seems to be linked to his inner strength, when he is strong, he can completely compete with demigods and even saints, and when he is weak, he is completely just an ordinary blood baron. ”
"He managed to become King Fenerport's most trusted general at the time, and was given the title of Earl after the Pale Calamity. But shortly after entering the Fifth Age, Oladius inexplicably committed suicide. Trevor Paganey said with a sneer.
These are the words of the history books, and all the real rulers of the Pagani family later knew that Oladius only kept his agreement with him, and that his body after committing suicide did not have his spirit on it, but was taken by him and became his food? Or is it a collection? ”
"In the days before Oladius committed suicide, he painted many portraits in a madness."
"Well," said Trevor Paganey, pointing to the portraits in front of him with his chin, "those are all portraits of this woman." ”
"After the suicide of Oladius, the nightmare of the Pagani family has only just begun." Trevor Paganey said with a mocking smile.
"Oladius had only two children, both boys. From the first day after their father's death, the two began to dream of an ocean constantly. In the ocean of dreams, they saw the woman in their father's painting, holding his father's distorted head in her hands, staring up at them from afar with a smile. ”
After discovering that they would continue to dream like this even after asking for help from the church, the terrified two men burned all the portraits of their father, sold all their belongings, and moved out of Fenerport. They didn't even dare to use the traits that Orradius had precipitated after his death, and directly contributed to the Mother Earth Church of God. Trevor Paganey said with a mocking smile.
"These practices seem to have worked well at the beginning, and when they first arrived at Anwa Castle, neither of them really dreamed again, and their subsequent promotions went smoothly, and even their tendency to get out of control was much lighter than that of other extraordinaries in this path."
