"Miss, are you alright?" said Xavier, who knocked on the door.

The woman who cried inside did not answer this question head-on, but asked rhetorically

"Who are you?"

The voice was accompanied by the sound of crying and vigilance, as if the woman inside was very suspicious of Xavier outside.

"I'm a person who tries to help you. Faced with the woman's suspicion, Xavier responded.

Although he didn't understand why the woman in red was crying, in his eyes, she should be haunted by this curse to be so sad.

That's why he said in his words just now that he could help lift her curse.

Of course, in fact, he can't get rid of it at all, he just wants to establish communication, get more information, and at the same time use the things on the bridge to try to make contact.

"Remember what you told me at the bridge? I'm the black-haired swordsman, and I know you're desperate for relief at this moment, so you have to tell me what kind of power is causing you to change like this. ”

However, when Xavier asked, the woman's crying did stop, and she replied in a tone of incomprehension, "Sir, I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

"Miss, I mean the curse on you, you told me that when the moon shines, you can't control yourself, and after my reasonable speculation, I suspect that this may be a characteristic of vampires, so I need more information to determine your curse. Xavier hurriedly added, trying to use the information she told herself to gain her trust.

"But I don't understand what you're talking about, sir, what vampire, what curse, sir, are you joking?" Facing Xavier's serious tone, the woman in red in the room replied with such words, which made Xavier outside the room puzzled.

Obviously, in the previous illusion, she told herself so much information, and even fought with herself, and now he is just confirming it, why does she say that she doesn't know?

Is she pretending not to know, or is she really not aware?

All kinds of questions made Xavier suddenly understand something, and quickly asked in confirmation

"Miss, let me ask you in another way, have you communicated with me?"

"Nope. The woman was sure, "Never." ”

"That's right," Xavier muttered to himself, quickly understanding what was happening.

After the communication just now, he established several facts, or conjectures.

First of all, the woman inside was the woman in red, which was roughly certain from the voice, unless it happened to be a girl with a very similar voice, but Xavier didn't think that was possible.

Secondly, the woman in red in the room had no experience of communicating with Xavier, and at the same time, she didn't seem to have any curse on her body, and she never showed madness during the whole communication process.

Then the meaning is obvious, this point in time should be located at a certain point in time before the bridge incident, and the woman in red at that time has not yet obtained the strange power of a suspected vampire, so naturally she cannot establish effective communication with Xavier.

In her eyes, Xavier's words were complete nonsense, so she said with a confused face that she didn't know what he was talking about, and it was estimated that she hadn't just driven him away.

Thinking about this, Xavier changed the topic and ended his previous statement with a few sentences: "I was abrupt, what I just said, please when I never said it." ”

"Compared to this, miss, are you in a good mood now?" he said, referring to the previous cry of the woman in red.

Originally, the emotions in the woman's heart had long been filled with a sense of kinship, but Xavier had diluted it a little with all kinds of strange questions, but now she has calmed down, and she didn't have the previous crying voice, nor did she ask Xavier about the strange words before, but opened her mouth to respond

"It's much better, thank you sir for your concern, but sir, can you tell me first, who are you?"

"I'm Xavier. ”

"Xavier, I'm sorry I haven't heard the name, are you the one who is my husband's friend?" the woman asked.

"If so, what will?" Xavier asked, not knowing who her husband was.

"Then please tell him that I won't forgive him now, I can't accept that two daughters share such a husband. The woman said firmly, "I won't accede to his request unless he comes to apologize to me in person and promises me." ”

After saying that, she stopped responding to Xavier, making the black-haired swordsman outside the door feel confused again.

Wait a minute, Xavier thought in his mind.

He thought it was a plot to help lift the curse, but it turned out to be a cuckold plot, and he had to forgive him?

The words of the woman in red should mean that she was green by her husband, but this should have nothing to do with the later curse?

Anyway, the current point in time is that sometime before she gets the curse, she later gains the power of a vampire for some reason, and it is ultimately what happened on the bridge, so it makes more sense.

Moreover, since this illusion can be shaped, it means that there must be some clues here that can allow him to crack the curse later, and there must be something hidden behind the plot of this green man.

Thinking like this, Xavier decided to leave the second floor where he was just like that, and he wanted to find another person, the husband of the woman in red.

It wasn't that he didn't want to ask the woman any more, but that she didn't want to answer his own questions anymore.

~~~~~~

The mansion where the woman in red was located was a palatial house, about two floors high, and the place where Xavier had just spoken to her was a room on the second floor, and the two had a conversation through the door.

And Xavier's current journey is to go down the stairs to the first floor, and there is no one else on the way, it seems that in the illusion, there can only be the woman in red and the man.

He recalled the couple he had met in the memory fragment before, and now it seemed that they should be the woman in red.

The reason for this was simple, because when he went underground, he found that the whole house was laid out exactly like what he had seen in his memory fragments, and belonged to the same house.

The relationship between the two should have been very deep, but the man took the initiative to cheat, and Xavier must ask here to understand.

He saw the man, dressed in a nightgown, sitting in the living room, drinking black tea, seemingly sighing, and only when he saw Xavier did he frown and ask vigilantly

"Who are you and why did you come into my house?"

At the same time, he raised his arm, as if to ask his bodyguards to help, though Xavier didn't know if there were any of his bodyguards in the illusion.

It is worth mentioning that Xavier has only discovered a problem now, and he didn't pay much attention to it on the bridge at the beginning, that is, the woman in red and the man in front of him should be Vasilyki's talent, but the conversation between him and them is all in Minoan.

This is a bit magical, but it is not a matter of attention, and at the same time, Xavier thought of an idea, and quickly added, "Sir, please calm down first, you invited me in." ”

"We?" the man lowered his right hand, still not quite believing Xavier's words.

"Yes, you invited me here, I am a soothsayer from the north, your wife divined me before and invited me to come, sir, don't you remember?"

Xavier at this moment is obviously talking nonsense, anyway, in his opinion, the male owner has no way to ask the hostess for verification.

Moreover, the key success point is that he secretly used the 'Seal of Yaksi', which is a Dharma seal that can temporarily control the minds of others and make others believe in you, provided that the other party's strength must be weaker than yours, and they must also speak to you face to face.

For example, it can be used on the man in front of you, but not on the woman in red just now, because the two are not facing each other.

As for the strength of the bridge, it should be regarded as a vampire, definitely higher than Xavier, and naturally he can't use the magic seal that this demon hunter is equipped with.

The main purpose of this seal is to obtain information, because it can't control powerful monsters and enemies at all, and at most it can play a role in this situation.

However, its role is also big enough, even if what Xavier said seems to be completely unreasonable, the man nodded directly and said, "Okay, please forgive me, sir, it may be that there have been too many things recently, so I forgot the existence of the master." ”

"It's fine. Xavier said that there was no problem, and seized the time when the Seal of Yakxi took effect, and quickly asked, "Tell me first, what is your name?"

"Viscount Ron Ram, Ron Covind. ”

Are you still a viscount?, but why didn't De Xavier have thoughts and some questions, but instead of saying them, he continued to ask

"Then why did you betray your wife?"

"I didn't betray her!" shouted the man named Ron, "I can't help it." ”

"What do you mean you can't do it? or did someone else force you?" Xavier snapped.

"That's right. Ron said that it was really the same thing, "Simply put, I have a chance to be promoted to earl." ”

"But in Vasiliki, if you want to be promoted to count, you must get the consent of the Minoan soldiers, and one of their lieutenants has offered me the whole of Im as soon as I marry his daughter. ”

"So you abandoned your wife?" Xavier understood what he was trying to say.

"I didn't abandon her, I just hoped that she could be wronged and give up her wife's place, but in fact, the treatment she enjoyed was no different from before, and I couldn't understand why she didn't want to accept it. Ron said with a look of grievance.

"This is unacceptable to normal people. Xavier couldn't understand why he felt like he had a point.

"It should be acceptable, when I become an earl, her standard of living will only skyrocket, and all she needs to pay is a name. "Obviously, Ron is controlled by Xavier with the Law Seal at the moment, but it makes him seem as if he is refuting Xavier.

"Good, good. Xavier understood what was going on at the moment, "So she can't accept everything you say, so she's going to shut herself up in the upstairs room?

"Yes, I tried, but she said that I must give up those thoughts, this, alas, women can't think about men?" Ron looked helpless.

Hehe Xavier said that he still couldn't understand his thoughts, in his opinion, the woman's approach was not wrong at all, but he was not an expert in emotional processing, the purpose of his inquiry was just to obtain information, since he got it, he had to think about it, in the end, why did this situation lead to the later woman in red, who gained the power of a vampire?

He pondered for a moment, but could not draw any conclusions, so he coughed and prepared to continue asking questions.

However, at this moment, on the second floor on the top, there was a scream.

The owner of the voice was none other than the woman in red, mixed with crazy screams and painful meanings, and Xavier's mind felt like it exploded.

There is no doubt that something bad happened to her.

Immediately, Xavier did not hesitate, forcibly endured the discomfort of his body, released the control of Ron's seal, and used the 'Far Climb' to pull himself directly to the second floor, and it didn't take a few seconds to reach the door of the room where he had just spoken.

Then, he gathered the wind elemental and blasted the woman's room open with the 'Seal of Alder'.

As far as the eye could see, the woman who was now wearing a white dress was struggling powerlessly on the ground, her face was pale and bloodless, and there were irrepressible changes everywhere on her body.

For example, at this moment, all kinds of blood-colored pieces of flesh began to fall off from her body, turning into a viscous liquid, mixed with the body hair that had just grown on the skin, and fell into Xavier's eyes.

At the same time, the clothes on her back were also forcibly torn out, a pair of blood-red wings slowly grew out of them, and on her fingers, the nails that she had carefully maintained had also turned into sharp minions--

In short, she is changing from a human to a monster.

Faced with this situation, the woman could only struggle desperately, as if listening to those few voices in her ears.

"Don't you want to get revenge on him? ”

"However, I must state that in the process of gaining strength, it will definitely be painful, and after success, there will be some side effects."

When the woman heard this, she was already in the mood to refuse, but the vampire in front of her pretended that she agreed, and thus made her a blood slave of her own.

She couldn't believe that such a person, whom she had once considered a friend, would do such a thing to her.

And that's what happened a few minutes ago, when Xavier arrived, all he saw was the scene where the woman began to transform sharply and become a blood slave.

As for the one who arrived later, it was Viscount Ron, who was once again controlled by Xavier with the 'Mark of Yaksi'.

Because Xavier didn't want him to see what happened next, he forcibly controlled him and left.

Then he heard the woman say it to him again

"Kill me, please"

At this moment, she didn't know that this was the beginning of all nightmares, but Xavier in front of her knew that he knew what happened in the end.

Therefore, without any hesitation, he pulled out the silver sword beside his waist, and swung the sword in his hand.

The woman smiled at him with relief.

~~~~~~

When Xavier opened his eyes again, everything in front of him changed again.

He had transitioned from the previous illusion to this illusion.

After the last experience, this time it seemed much more ordinary, without crazy laughter as a transition, when he killed the painful woman, he came from the previous illusion to the current world.

He was now beginning to understand the meaning of each illusion, and that the owner of the illusion was using it to tell him something so that Xavier could crack it.

The first illusion was the result of telling him about the curse.

Later, the illusion was telling him when the curse occurred.

So what about this time?

By the time Xavier crossed his mind, he was already sitting on a couch.

In front of him is Ron Covind, and his wife.

And this place is the living room where Xavier and he talked before.

The crackling of the charcoal fire in the stove warmed the hearts of the couple.

The light that could be seen when he looked up, radiating his light rate, was ejected into Xavier's eyes.

Ron poured a cup of black tea from the teapot, placed it on the small coffee table in front of Xavier's eyes, and spoke

"Mr. Xavier, please drink. ”

At the same time, he also performed a salute to Xavier.

Xavier's heart began to be full of doubts, but he still smiled and picked up the cup of tea, and without tasting it, he took a sip lightly, and then put it down.

He asked Ron and his wife, "Do you remember why you invited me?"

According to the normal dialogue, the meaning should be to get to the point, but at this moment, it is actually to let Xavier understand the current point in time where this illusion is, and what else is happening.

Ron put down his teacup and replied with respect

"Of course I do, sir. ”

"My wife, Wendy, has done a divination to you, Master, and has received a good prediction, so we have come here to ask you to do another divination for her, and I will trouble you, sir. ”

In the face of Ron's words, Xavier's mind was irrepressibly turbulent.

Isn't this what he said casually in the illusion last time?

How did it become a fact?

No, it should be said that it is the reality in the illusion, so at the point in time I am in now, is it after the last illusion, or before the illusion?

Seeing the harmonious relationship between the husband and wife, this should be a point in time, but it is also impossible to understand why those words came true

When the thoughts came to his mind, Xavier opened his lips lightly and temporarily erased the distracting thoughts, "Sir, just remember, then may I ask, Madam, what are you going to divinate today?"

"I want to divination" Wendy Covinde, the former woman in red wanted to answer directly, but suddenly showed an embarrassed expression, and finally Ron took over the topic.

The later scumbag, at this time, looked at his wife with a doting face, turned his head, and responded in an embarrassed and loud voice, "Madame means that she wants to divination, when will she have children." ”

"I see, don't be so embarrassed. Xavier said that he didn't know how to do divination at all, but at this time he could only pretend that he was very good at it, "I still know a little bit about divination, but sir, if you want me to do divination, I need more information, for example, the reason for divination, or your respective ages, etc."

He talked a lot of things, and if a layman looked at it, he really thought it was very professional.

The Ron couple were no exception, and even believed it, and it was Viscount Ron who told what had happened to them

"Well, sir, my wife and I have been married for several years, and we have not been able to have a child. ”

"We tried many things, like a witch doctor, like a priest, but to no avail, and finally we found a healer, who claimed to be able to cure our disease, and we asked him back. ”

"Madame, she is also being treated by him, I don't know the effect, but as far as I can see, Madame's face has become a lot more ruddy, and the amount of food has increased a lot. ”

"So, I would like to ask you, sir, to help you divinate the gods, and if so, at what point? ”

With that, he respectfully saluted Xavier.

"You don't have to salute like that. Xavier said that he couldn't stand it, and even sighed silently.

Now he confirmed that the time should be before the viscount wanted to go to the next level and become an earl.

I just don't know, obviously he loves his wife so much now, why would he rather let her bear those grievances later?

It was like two people, and Xavier didn't understand.

As for everything that happened later, Xavier didn't know what Ron's ending would be in reality, but Wendy Covind must have suffered something bad.

After all, in the illusion, he had already helped her free three times with his own hands.

With a silent sigh, Xavier returned to the point and smirked

"Then let's do divination now. ”

He didn't know the specific means of divination, but in theology, there was a means of pleasing the gods, which he had seen Caroline do in the church of Saint-Cecil, although he had not done it himself, but with his memory, he would probably remember seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, and so on, so he pretended that it was a means of divination.

"First of all, you must clean your hands, the gods don't like dirty things"

"Then"

Following those words, Xavier really looked like and completed the whole ceremony.

In the final stage of the ceremony, he babbled a little, and gently turned his handmade roulette wheel, and the hour hand remained in one position, not moving.

"Congratulations, sir, this means that your wife will be able to conceive within a year!" Xavier smiled and said a white lie.

"Really?" Ron couldn't hide his ecstasy, hugging his wife, "It seems that Dr. Abraham's medicine really works!"

"What a miracle doctor. Next to him, his wife couldn't help but sigh.

And Xavier also rejoiced with them, but he was not too happy in his heart.

He picked up the leftover black tea in his cup and drank it all at once.

Just as he was closing his eyes and enjoying the black tea, a few words of surprise and joy suddenly came from his ears.

"Doctor!" and "Doctor!" voices came from Ron and Wendy, respectively.

Obviously, what they were calling was the 'miracle doctor', the doctor who claimed to cure their infertility problems.

Xavier also put down his teacup and looked over, he was quite interested in this miracle doctor, and wanted to know what kind of person this gynecological holy hand was.

However, when he saw the face of the 'divine doctor', the smile on his face immediately condensed.

It was a bald man with a rough face and muscles, not quite like a doctor.

At the same time, he has another identity, that is, a vampire, who pretended to be a bald boss in Knossos, but in fact concealed his purpose of murder, and even seriously injured Caroline, and finally managed to escape under the pursuit of Father Paul.

It's just Xavier's enemy, he also swore at Caroline's bed that he would kill him, but he never imagined that he would meet him again in such a place!

His right hand couldn't help but be placed next to his silver sword, but it only made Ron and Wendy next to him look strange.

"You know?"

"Of course I do. It wasn't Xavier who responded, but Abraham, who smiled and turned his gaze to the black-haired swordsman

"It's been a long time, Xavier. ”
