Chapter 54: The Third Oil Painting
Gasner's restaurant is next to the hall on the first floor, perhaps it was Uqidil's previous praise that made Gasner's heart even more proud, the whole restaurant was decorated with gold, dazzling gold and silver were things that no one cared about in the demon world, so Gasner's restaurant was full of products of these things, and the room was full of golden light under the candlelight.

Compared to the gloom and oppressive black tones outside, it was still this environment that made Ukidil feel more comfortable.
And what is rare is that Gasner also appeared, although he was wearing a brown cloak that covered the whole person tightly, not only wearing gloves to cover his hands, but also wearing a mask on his face that only showed his eyes, but his appearance showed a kind of attention, it seems that angels are still more important in the heart of Gasner, who was originally a human.
From the moment he entered the door, Uqidil had been happily greeting and chatting with the host, and Xu Song, who did not know the etiquette of ancient Europe, had to pretend to be cold on the sidelines, and did nothing to study the exquisite patterns on the plates and knives and forks.
It has to be said that this human lord who behaved more like a despicable speculator in the original novel of "Gray Feather" has obviously put a lot of thought into his private life that never appeared in the original book.
The silver knives and forks and the reliefs on the side of the plate are complex and exquisite, most of them are realistic flowers full of flowers, and occasionally butterflies and even cherubs can be seen, the candlesticks on the table are made of gold, and the chandelier on the head is not only made in the shape of flower branches, but also inlaid with some crystals, and there are some porcelain vases next to the candlesticks, which are inserted with the magic flowers that Xu Song has never seen at all, let alone the varieties of them, the furry carpet is spread on the ground, and some wall lamps and oil paintings are hung on the walls, in short, it is the classic decoration of a medieval mansion.
Rarely, there was also wine, and before dinner (who knows if every meal eaten in the dim demon realm was dinner) officially began, the personable skeleton attendants poured amber liquid into the tall crystal cups at hand.
Then, today's menu was quickly served, starting with the appetizer, a small black lump that looked like something like jelly, and Gasner explained: "This is the liver tip part of a small monster called gorob from the northern mountains, and it tastes so delicious that you can try it." ”
Xu Song was still hesitating with a knife and fork, but Uqidil, who had never eaten before, had already dug a small spoonful and put it in his mouth, Xu Song looked at Uqidil expectantly and wanted to see his reluctant expression, but he didn't expect Uqidil to keep smiling, and after eating what was in his mouth with his mouth closed, he said to Gasner what kind of liver tip was smooth and tender, and it was very delicious.
Sure enough, he was a born diplomat. Thinking so, Xu Song also picked up the spoon and tasted a little, it was really delicious, and his face unconsciously showed an expression of satisfaction and enjoyment.
This is the first time that Xu Song has shown such an expression after being "captured" by Gasner, and in the eyes of this great lord, it is natural that this arrogant female angel has finally been conquered by her own food, and her heart is naturally full of pride, and Uqidil speaks appropriately and is deeply popular, after a dinner, Gasner's impression of the two fallen angels who are suspected of being "children of calamity" is much better.
It's a pity that a good dinner doesn't provide much energy, Xu Song thought with a little regret, and Gasner began to talk about his previous experience to Uqidil, and it seemed that there was a momentum of more and more energy, and the gentle and attentive Uqidil played the role of the best listener, and the bored Xu Song began to admire the decoration of the house again.
He looked at the third painting on the wall to his right, which he counted from the doorway, and it showed a young woman carrying a basket of flowers among roses.
At first glance, the painting is inconspicuous, but on closer inspection, it is very interesting, surrounded by a warm red rose, and the corner of the empty basket of flowers shows a yellow one, and the woman is sniffing one of the flowers with her eyes closed, and the expression on her face looks like a smile, and then it looks like a cry, and there is a tall and hazy black shadow behind her, and a sickle hidden in the shadows is facing the rose she smells.
Xu Song looked at it and found that the painting was facing Gasner, who was sitting on the main seat, recalling the process of the fall of this human mage and the life of the legend (scourge), Xu Song had vaguely mentioned in the original book that the reason for his initial efforts was his dead wife.
Thinking of this, Xu Song seemed to understand something, he stared at the painting and coughed lightly, and said, "Lord Gasner, did you draw it yourself?"
The conversation with Uqidil was interrupted, Gasner stopped his words and looked at Xu Song's line of sight, saw the portrait of his wife, his eyes showed a trace of pain, and the originally warm atmosphere of the conversation also cooled, and he did not answer.
Uqidil immediately noticed this, and after a few careful glances at the painting, he quickly understood the meaning of it, and with a sympathetic sadness on his face, he said, "I'm sorry, Lord Gasner, did the Grim Reaper's scythe swing come at your lover?"
"So that's why you're seeking eternal life?" Before he could answer, Xu Song followed up on Uqidil's words.
If it weren't for the good atmosphere of the conversation before, maybe Gasner would have directly outburst into murder at this time, after all, it was his eternal and indelible pain.
"Such a beautiful girl, after death, the soul will surely be able to gain eternal life in the heavenly realm. Uqidir comforted softly.
"Nope. Shaking her head in pain, Gasner said, "She was a witch who died with a holy crucifix nailed to her chest, and her soul was imprisoned in her body for no peace. ”
Remembering that Gasner had a record of kidnapping several cardinal archbishops in his previous experience in the human world, could it be that he wanted to find someone to dial out the holy weapon and free the imprisoned soul of the witch?
"Maybe we can help. Xu Song said, "Didn't you find a fallen angel who is proficient in soul and healing to help?"
"Of course I tried. Gashner obviously disdained Xu Song's prompt, and said: "But compared to ordinary demons, fallen angels are more spurned by God, lose God's favor, this kind of self-righteous creature is useless at all, although it is just a holy weapon in the world, but these angels who have betrayed God have no way to get close." ”
These words did not scruple about Xu Song and Uqidil, and these two didn't care very much, and even the gray Uqidil smiled.
He stretched out his hand to the grief-stricken Gasner, who shone with a grayish-white holy light, and said a little shyly: "Dear Lord Gasner, not all depravity is due to betrayal. (To be continued.) )
