Chapter 34: Abstract Art
In the middle of the night.
Earl's Mansion.
The snow was still falling, falling through the shattered glass dome and down the hall.
A thick layer of snow has accumulated on the potholed marble floor.
Galen, whose soul had recovered a little, sat on the collapsed staircase, holding a bottle of Dongkoku shochu found in the sake cellar, and drank it in small sips, looking intoxicated.
As a revenant, he can't drink the wine of the entity.
But he can still feel the smell of wine, the aroma of wine, and the indulgence brought by wine, so that he is no longer trapped in reality and can forget the boring life.
Galen belched comfortably.
And the frost and snow will be accompanied by wine, and a drink will eliminate sorrows.
Well?
In the haze, it was as if I saw two Tiga walking into the door...
Galen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the wine woke up at once.
The familiar glow of a magical shield, the familiar tall armor, the familiar black cloak......
Why are you two here again?
BYD, the swordsman named Harry directly brought a sack of long swords this time, there were twenty or thirty of them, and they were restocked.
He threw the bag full of swords to the ground.
When there was a loud bang, Galen's scalp tingled.
He immediately surrendered: "Stop, two masters, don't do it yet." ”
Galen is really afraid, last night he used all his strength to use their offensive and defensive tactics to fight without a problem, and his soul was about to be burned to ashes by necromantic alchemy, even if he had an ancient weapon to replenish his soul, he didn't recover to his best condition today, and he couldn't see Jesus for another night?
He made up his mind that if these two people still fight, then I'm not welcome.
I'm a master adventurer, can you still catch up with me when you run?
But the magician hiding behind the armor didn't seem to understand human speech.
As soon as they met, he began to chant mantras.
Galen was almost able to memorize this Earth Elemental Sixth-Order Spell, and he had heard it more than a hundred times last night.
"Hey, you thing without a magical soul!"
I can't stand it anymore and I have to shout at it.
Of course, Harry was just putting on a show.
He and Peter's consumption last night was much greater than that of Galen, and they didn't recuperate well for two or three days, and if they fought again, they would definitely not be able to hold out for a while.
But Galen was still frightened.
Seeing that the deterrent effect had been achieved, Peter pretended to stop Harry from casting the spell, and then said aloud:
"Galen, we're here to negotiate."
He was confident, he watched this episode as a child, and this is how Dormammu was taken down by Doctor Strange.
Sure enough, after hearing the negotiation, Galen's expression relaxed a lot.
Although evil spirits and dead souls are both ghosts, the most essential difference between the two lies in the nature of the soul.
Evil spirits are the product of a soul distorted by some kind of magic or resentment, and the mind has become crazy, paranoid, and evil, and no longer belongs to the category of "human".
And the soul of the dead is just the soul of a simple person who leaves the body after death.
The reason is usually that some strong will, combined with the extremely strong spirit of the deceased during his lifetime, may lead to the appearance of the deceased.
The strength of evil spirits is usually much stronger than that of dead souls, after all, dead souls are only remnant souls after death, and if they lose their physical bodies, their souls will eventually have limits.
But there are exceptions, such as Galen in front of you.
Although they are all ghosts, the ghosts are much easier to deal with than the evil spirits.
The priest was probably unaware of Galen's nature and thought he had encountered an evil spirit. Otherwise, simply doing a mass of the dead can overkill the souls stranded in the world, no matter how powerful they are, they can't violate the magic of the cycle of life and death.
Harry and Peter had already agreed that if the negotiations broke down, they would find a priest to overdo Galen, and what to beat, the Bible was second.
"What do you want to do? Let me move out? ”
Peter shook his head.
"Nope."
Harry continued: "I've read about necromancy in the library collection of Hogwarts, and I know the general principle of this spell, and your remains Horcrux has been controlled, right?" ”
Galen was silent.
"How about you tell us who instructed you to murder the Count, and we'll help you get out of control?"
Harry stepped out of his armor, wand raised.
"I can swear by my magical origins."
Galen's eyes moved vaguely.
"Is it any wonder that he is a student of Hogwarts...... Go away, and don't get involved in this anymore. That count was what I wanted to kill myself, and it had nothing to do with anyone else. ”
Harry and Peter looked at each other, bad.
Harry had envisioned the worst-case scenario before he arrived, and that Galen had made some kind of oath to his employer not to divulge their identities or information, and the two of them would run away in vain.
The Count had one more day to return to Arknaise, and there was not much time left for the two of them.
For Peter, if he wanted to get involved with the Philippian royal family, he had to seize this opportunity.
So he took a step forward.
"Otherwise, we know about your life."
He took out the yellowed wanted warrant and said admiringly: "We are also very ...... to learn of your brilliant deeds Forehead ......"
Peter held up the wanted warrant and contrasted Galen.
A handsome knight with a heroic posture, a greasy uncle with a double chin.
"Is this picture you?"
Galen glanced and recognized his wanted warrant.
"It's me."
"Really?"
"Yes."
He added: "I was very thin at the time. ”
"Woo."
Peter said: "Actually, I won't tell you, I am a soothsayer - the Witch King of Letania specially hired a first-level court divination expert, some time ago, the Demon King was divined by me in advance, so that the masters ......of the Northern Continent could arrive in time."
Harry:?
Peter came closer.
"Since you are a dead soul, you must have some unfulfilled wishes, right? Do you want to try divination? ”
[Divination for Galen Selvi, does it consume 15,000 soul chips?] 】
The system immediately pops up a prompt.
Sure enough, even if it is a dead soul, the system can still divination.
The corners of Galen's mouth twitched.
"You're going to divinate a dead man?"
Is this too abstract art?
Not only Galen was puzzled, but even Harry looked at him blankly.
What is this doing?
When the two discuss the worst-case scenario on the way there, Peter swears that he still has a way to find clues about the killer behind the scenes.
The method you are talking about can't be divination, right?
Harry is divine, and they all say that the highest level of a liar is to deceive himself.
Are you awake?
Peter rubbed his hands, although fifteen thousand soul chips made him a little painful, but if he saved the earl and got involved with the royal family of Philip, then the difficulty of attacking the Ghost Dream Church would be greatly reduced, and it would be worth it.
"What's so strange about divining the dead? Demonic ...... Demon pig, magic pig is a beast like me, I can predict good and bad, know the past, and divination for the dead is naturally not a problem. ”
Peter took off his hood and smiled like an insurance salesman:
"You won't lose anything anyway, do you want to try?"
Galen was silent for a moment.
As far as he knew, there was a curse in this world that could be drawn by words alone. It is not impossible to deliberately seduce himself into saying words that can become the anchor of some kind of curse, after all, he has seen the extent of the mud of these two people last night.
But since the other party has already learned that he is a dead soul, with the knowledge of that Hogwarts wizard, he should know that the priest can destroy himself by making a mass, so why bother so much?
He decided to see what Peter wanted to do.
"Yes, if you want to divination, you can do it."
"But I'm not going to give you any medium, and I'm not going to answer any questions you don't want to answer."
"Then you'll have to tell me what you're going to take, is there anything you want to know?"
"Then ......," Galen was silent for ten seconds, "please tell me, is my mother okay now?" ”
The corners of Peter's mouth couldn't help but curl, take it!
[After deducting 15,000 soul chips, there are currently 27,936 points left, and the divination is completed.] 】
