Chapter 33: A Token of Death
In the thick gray mist, a human figure gradually emerged.
He wore a gray cloak and carried chains and scythes in his hands. There is nothing in the hood, but it seems to be looking at everything in the world.
If you accidentally look at it, just one glance will make your soul sink into it.
However, the Grim Reaper did not pay attention to Wright, and instead tilted his head towards Emily and Joanna.
The witch's curse is a desecration of the law of death, and their two rich and mellow souls are the favorite pastry of the god of death.
Being watched by the god of death was not a good thing, and the divine pact in Joanna's body reacted immediately. The thin divine power field enveloped it, completely blocking the gaze of the god of death.
For the first time in her life, Emily smelled death, but fortunately, Lilith and the Pope stood in her way. Otherwise, just standing here, you may be dragged into the Styx Sea by the will of death.
Wright frowned slightly and took a step forward.
A burst of light shot out from beneath his feet, clinging to the ground and crashing into the gray mist of death.
The latter's body shook for a moment, and he immediately raised his scythe. When he saw the person in front of him, he angrily put the sickle on the ground.
The murmur of the dead came from under the hood, ethereal and hoarse. The more you try to listen, the more you can't hear clearly.
But I could still hear that the Grim Reaper was a little unhappy.
Wright spoke, and it turned out to be the voice of the dead. It's hard to imagine how a living being can make such a sound.
Although they didn't know what the two sides had discussed, both of them saw that the hood bowed slightly, and then stretched out a dry hand and pointed at Wright.
"Oh? Are you sure? ”
Perhaps a little surprised, Wright subconsciously didn't use dead words. Unexpectedly, the Grim Reaper nodded slightly, and his fingers nodded heavily.
After a moment's thought, Wright ripped off the first button on the collar and threw it to the Grim Reaper.
After receiving it, the latter retracted his arm with satisfaction, and his figure dissipated with the gray mist.
After the dead air was completely dissipated, the Pope and others hurriedly came up.
"You stinky boy! It's okay to make a deal with the devil! How dare even death provoke it! Are you aware of the seriousness of the problem? ”
"Fair dealing, fair trade, what's so serious? One thing to say, the Grim Reaper is definitely the most rule-abiding one, okay! ”
Lilith circled around Wright and nervously asked, "What deal did you make with him?" ”
"It's also a guarantee. Even if the witch's curse can withstand the summons of the Templar Mountain and the Thirteen Hells of the Demon Realm, I really don't believe that it can resist the will to die from the Stygian Sea. ”
Emily finally recovered from the shock just now: "But didn't your soul sign to the demon god of the demon world?"
So what do you do with the trade? Why does the Grim Reaper want your buttons? ”
At the mention of this, Wright scratched his head helplessly: "I originally thought that I could be like the goddess of holy light, to help the other party recover the death divinity left in this world as a bargaining chip."
Unexpectedly, the other party only wanted me a promise. ”
After that, Wright pointed to his collar: "Look, if the buttons of the jacket are buttoned, where is the first one?" ”
"Probably in the throat ......"
"Yes, this is the death hole of human beings, and it is also the place where the sound comes from. Therefore, the first button of the shirt is one of the most effective tokens of death for the Grim Reaper.
The same is true for a pocket watch in the left inner pocket, which is the heart, and the clock also symbolizes the passage of time.
This kind of token generally indicates that there is a time limit for what is promised. ”
"What about the buttons?"
"If the token is a button, I can only wait for someone to appear in front of me with a button one day. Then I have to do my best to fulfill the other party's request. ”
Seeing the three worried faces, Wright smiled: "Don't be like this, I said it all, the Grim Reaper is the most discipline-abiding rule, don't worry that the other party will open his mouth or deliberately embarrass me."
In fact, it's much simpler than helping him regain the divinity of death.
It's just that I'm more surprised, what is there about him who wants me to help with, and it is more alluring than the divinity? ”
The Pope twisted his beard, and the old god was there: "Why are you in debt thinking so much?" ”
Lilith was a little speechless: "I kind of know who Wright learned from in the habit of going around in debt." ”
"Alas! Don't frame the Pope's innocence out of thin air, you devil! He knew this before he apprenticed! ”
Wright clapped his hands: "Okay, let's go." There's a lot to do. ”
The Pope nodded, "yes, there's still a lot of work to be done......
It is estimated that the altar here will be demolished and rebuilt, after all, the demon god has been summoned, and the goddess will definitely not want to use it anymore.
Ah...... It's all money! It's really ...... to kill If you don't use it, don't use it, do you know that during the Holy Advent ceremony, the price of manpower is very expensive......"
In the midst of the Pope's thoughts, they walked towards the gate. As he was about to reach the door, Wright suddenly turned around and walked briskly back to the bed.
The others didn't say much when they saw this scene, just stood at the door and waited quietly.
Standing back in front of the bed, Wright reached out and lifted the curtain.
"That...... The ground floor was cleaned up by me. I didn't think much of it at the time...... When you wake up, I'll pay you a new one.
The portrait has also been put away by me, and after three years, I am much more handsome than I look in the portrait. When you wake up, I'll make you a magic camera, and you'll be able to shoot it as a set.
I didn't move the crib, but the quadruplets were too exaggerated, not easy to achieve, and they were also very damaging to the body. I think it's better to go with the flow.
In a word...... Rest well, I'll take care of the rest. ”
Lowering the veil, Wright turned away, his steps becoming more determined.
As they walked down the stairs, Lilith cried out that she was too tired and clinged to Wright. In reality, she just wanted to secretly talk to Wright.
"Did you ask that? What the hell is going on with that god of light? ”
"Hmph, I don't know where the evil god came from, I found the [back door] I left on the side of the belief structure of the goddess of light, and let a distraction come in to eat and drink and want to pack it and take it away.
The toss is so big, Afra can detect it no matter how stupid she is, and she directly locks the other party's distraction inside.
I didn't expect the other party to be a ruthless person, and he used his face on the ground as an ass.
After discovering that he couldn't get out, he turned around and claimed to be the god of light, turning from a thief to a robber, preparing to swallow the goddess of light in turn and occupy the magpie's nest.
All I can say is that he is probably a repeat offender.
However, this evil god is too disobedient to bean buns as dry food. Although Afra's character is not good, she still has strength.
What's more, this is a local battle, the Holy Light Goddess has been cultivating here for hundreds of years, how could it be overturned by a small distraction of an alien evil god?
Of course, Afra didn't dare to rush it, after all, she was pressed too tightly, and if the bright god fish died and the net was broken, she would be a pure loss.
However, the result will not change, and it is only a matter of time before the God of Light is destroyed.
It is estimated that the final result is that the evil god stole the chicken and gave away a small part of the divinity of Afra's [Law] for nothing. ”
Lilith suddenly realized: "No wonder! I wonder why Afra didn't let you wipe out Protestantism.
Hehe, it turned out that she thought she was going to win and didn't want to waste the opportunity for you to do things for her. ”
Wright grinned, "Victory...... Not necessarily. I'm also quite interested in this god of light. ”
