14. Night Raid
The witch's cry eventually calmed down, and in the room she was, the sound of people moving was distinct. Soon, it seemed that the witch wiping her tears was no longer as angry as before.
Obviously, he has been clamoring to avenge Roland, but he can't even show up, I'm afraid this witch must have some ulterior secrets.
Speaking of which, her name has not been told to herself until now.
As the clock struck on the hour, it was the maid and the waitress beside her, who were not very looking at her, pushed onto the dining cart, so ornate that it didn't even look like the food had been brought up on a plate.
"Please dine. ”
......
"You're welcome. "The witch seems to be able to see everything in the hall, but that's what it is.
I can't eat it with peace of mind.
Not to mention the portrait of Roland Knight in the middle of the hall, even the portrait of the witch's father on the side has been staring at it, this witch who is still alive in the world and doesn't know what kind of eyes to stare at here, it is really difficult to raise the appetite.
After a few hurried touches to signal that she was full, Lilith made a random excuse to slip out.
The dark rose garden, in the evening, and the dense fog that obscures the sun from the sky, looks like night outside. In the thick fog, it was as if some monster was about to emerge at any moment, and it was hard to imagine why the servants would walk around in this rose without paying any attention.
The evening breeze blew, bringing up the petals of roses flying in the air, and in the thick fog, there seemed to be something faintly flying like a butterfly, and it was clear that he had never seen an animal since he had been on the island.
Sure enough, let's go back......
【Bang】
"Ahh......hh
Lilith was just about to open her mouth to shout, only to realize that it was only Mamon who turned around and bumped into her.
...... Wait, isn't Mammon already back?
It's all so unpleasant, how can she still hang out here?
"Who are you?"
Lilith instinctively jumped out of the way.
"Lilith is very vigilant, but am I really Mamon?
Mammon said, shaking the small purse in his hand, "Lilith doesn't have much money lately. ”
Can you still have money if you provide three rice buckets at one time?
But there is no doubt that she should be Mamon.
"Why are you back?" Lilith looked around, because of the tall flowers, so no servants noticed the situation here, "Didn't you go back to the ship to report the news?"
"I've already reported it, so it doesn't matter if Lilith stays here for a few more days?" said Marmon, turning, plucking a rose from the unusually lush blooming flowers, and stuffing it into her pocket, which looked like a treasure chest.
Do you even want to be greedy for this thing?
"Lilith, do you know? After the rose blooms, it keeps smelling for passers-by, but it has only one end result. Mamun said and picked another one, but this rose had just been plucked, no, it had just touched Mammon's hand, as if it had been left for a long time, and suddenly it dried up, and then the petals fell off and flew into the sky.
"It's to be plucked, squeezed out of all the value, and finally thrown away. "No one is going to replant her, so it's better not to bloom and scare people away with the thorns than to dress up and make people take advantage of it." ”
Something that happened before the demon became a demon.
I don't know why, Lilith suddenly thought of this aspect, and Mammon just now probably wanted to explain this matter to herself.
But it's too profound, roses, and it's hard to relate to what really happened to Mammon.
"Mamon, are you ......?"
"Shhh......h But because it's Lilith, I'll forgive you for once. ”
If you don't ask and don't ask, then why do you have to say it in a roundabout way?
Although this is indeed in line with Mammon's character, if you don't know how to tell the story clearly, how should I comfort you?
"There's a bunch of nonsense, and Lilith doesn't have to care. Mamon patted Lilith on the shoulder, "A little warning, don't go to the portrait hall tonight, it's not me tonight, it's Mariana." ”
Mariana?
However, before Lilith could ask, Mammon, who was still in front of her, had already disappeared, leaving only a few black feathers flying up with the rose petals.
Did she keep herself from going there so that she could do it? Sure enough, Mammon still wanted to destroy the portrait no matter what. Although for himself, it is just a portrait of Cheng Dù, but I am afraid that compared to Ma Meng, it is already a symbol of hatred.
No, even if Ma Meng sued himself in advance because of his good relationship with him, he still couldn't let her go like this. Now that the man in the portrait is dead, and Mamun has become a demon. This qiē should have disappeared a long time ago.
The witch still didn't show up, although I don't know why she didn't want to show up even though she knew that Mammon was going to destroy the portrait at night, but now she was probably not needed anymore, and the same was true for the servants who didn't seem to know much magic.
Since Mammon brought it himself, it was necessary for him to calm her down.
【Knock, knock】
The clock at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night seemed clearer than the other bells that rang on the hour, and as if he had counted the time, Mammon opened the door, which had been locked several times, without damage.
After seeing Lilith and the other two demons, Mammon's eyes widened slightly, but then he returned to his previous state.
No, it can't be considered the previous state anymore, and now Ma Meng, with her eyes flushed, is like a demon who doesn't know herself at all, and is full of hostility.
She also said in the evening that tonight, it will not be Mamon, but Mariana.
Is this the Mammun with hatred and resentment?
"Lilith, I thought you would be a little smarter. ”
Marmon still had a formulaic smile on his face, but even Lilith sensed that Marmon would probably not show mercy tonight.
It is estimated that in her eyes, her side already belongs to the category of enemies.
"Mammon!"
Because she had sued the witch before, the witch had probably not slept all the time, and after seeing Ma Meng, her voice became angry, "Why do you have to destroy my father's portrait!"
"Lilith, Lucifer, Asmontis. ”
Mammon directly ignored the witch's questioning, and instead looked at Lilith and her party guarding in front of the portrait, "I'll give you another chance, leave immediately, tomorrow I will still be that Mammon." ”
......
"Heh......"
Just smiled slightly, and in the next moment, the body of Mammon, who was still standing, had turned into two. One of them was holding the holy spear Longinus that Mamun had used in the past, while the other was holding a sword that had never been seen before.
But this is probably not an ordinary product, Ma Meng has never fought with an ordinary weapon, and her advantage is probably far superior to that of other demons, in her hands, and on her body.
The two demons, also waving their wings, looked like there was no real or false at all. Fortunately, however, there were only two, so that Lilith, who was probably only a burden, would not be able to drag Lucifer and the others back.
It was needless to say that Lucifer, who was accustomed to using spears, was able to meet the spear-wielding Mamon flying from the air, while Asmon, who mainly relied on speed, collided with the sword-wielding Mamon on the ground.
It's for real!
Although he also knew that Ma Meng had been able to get serious to that point, most of what he said was no longer a joke. But when she really saw Mammon dealing with her side like an enemy, Lilith couldn't help but be surprised.
What is the connection between Bazak in the portrait and Mariana in Mamon's mouth?
