Chapter Forty-Seven: The Gambling Contract and the Chrysanthemum (Ask for Tickets!) )


Atina didn't know exactly what was in that room, but she would have to try it if she wanted to escape."

While tomorrow is a freely arranged rest day, I'll go up and see where that room is."

Atina thought to herself.In the middle of the night, the guards in the castle were still patrolling diligently, and running up to the castle at night might encounter the guards, so Atina chose to rest well for tomorrow's adventure.Abel sat on his bed, staring at the moon outside the window in a daze.A pitch-black crow flew to Abel's window, looked at the dull-looking man with curious eyes, and after a moment, it felt that the man was too boring and flapped its wings away, leaving a feather on the windowsill."

He's supposed to be back soon.Miss Etina doesn't seem to be anything unusual these days.Alas, I hope she'll remember my words and don't go into that room. ”Abel thought to himself.Abel, who is usually mild-mannered, covered his face with his hands at this time and took a deep breath.He didn't want the same thing to happen to him again, and the old ladies weren't missing.Abel knew this very well, and they all lost their lives out of curiosity.That key, that room, that magic array, Abel knew, but he couldn't say, because as soon as he said it, Hohen would perceive it.It was a kind of 'speech' type of technique, and as long as Able mentioned something in the room, it would be perceived.Abel understands that Hohen, who has been playing since he was a child, has long since changed, and he has become brutal, cunning, and hypocritical.If he had interrupted his plans, Hohen might have killed himself.Abel's heart is very resistant to this feeling of helplessness, this feeling of knowing but not being able to speak, this feeling of watching one by one flower girls go to death.Abel didn't expect the gods, he just hoped that this time Atina would be smart enough to understand his warnings.The magic circle in that room must be opened by a minor girl with a special constitution holding the key that Ho Heng himself has refined to open the door to be activated; If Atina hadn't opened the door and entered, she would have spent her bar mitzvah in the castle unharmed, and she would have been free, or she could choose to stay and be a veritable hostess.Before Hohen carved out the circle, Abel made a bet with Hohen.The content of the bet is simple, freedom or death.If Hohen's ritual fails, Abel will be freed and will no longer be by Hohen's side.Instead, Abel would give his life to Hohen as part of his power.The term of this bet is fifty years.When Hohen heard the bet, he laughed, shouted funny, and added two rules; First, Abel has to help collect girls with special physiques, and second, Abel must take good care of the girls and not let them leave.Abel agreed, while proposing two additional rules; First, Hohen could not use inducement to interfere with the girl's thoughts, including the use of external forces such as spells; Second, if the girl does not enter the room with the key before she becomes an adult, she must be given the right to choose whether to go or stay.Abel already understands that the first five girls have failed, and Atina is his last hope and the key to his freedom.If Atina fails, he will be Hochen's food.Abel's reason for making this bet was simple, that is, he had had enough of the darkness of Hohen, and although death was terrible, Abel felt that this might be a relief.For Abel, who impulsively made a bet at that time, it would be best if he could leave, otherwise he would not be able to see the darkness if he died, so neither choice mattered to him.But this time, when Hohen asked Atina to go to trial, Abel regretted it a little.His heart was very entangled, even though he was not afraid of death, but the feeling of fate being held in the hands of others made Abel a little frightened.He regretted the impulsive bet he had made.—————— "Big fool, you're stupid."

I can't remember such a simple few words!

I'm!

Hum!

”Luo Li pursed her lips and said coquettishly.Silas smirked embarrassedly, in fact, in this afternoon, Silas had memorized seventy or eighty words in the holy script, but he felt that his head was about to explode, and he could not remember any more words."

Hehe, Teacher Luo Li, just let me go."

Silas smiled and flattered the cute little wolf girl in front of her."

Humph!

It's getting dark, don't teach, don't teach, class!

Go back to dinner. ”Lori trotted back to Silas and said, "Come after me, big fool!"

”"Ouch, wait for me, my leg is numb."

Silas had been squatting since the afternoon, and it was already dusk.As the sun set, the afterglow of dusk shone in the canyon, and the joy and smile of Lori in front of her reflected in Silas's heart.This lively and lovely girl stroked the hair in her ear, looked at her silly crush, and smiled.The breeze rustled the jungle, and a dandelion seed flew in the wind from a distance and landed beside Silas.1The skirt of the girl's body floated in the breeze, blowing wrinkles like waves, and she was as delicate and lovely as a petal.A pair of colorful butterflies weave through the jungle, and they fly in a circle around Lori and land on a flower that can be seen everywhere on the side of the road.It was a chrysanthemum, and the sunset fell on the petite petals of the chrysanthemum, and in the middle of the flower disc were golden cores, and the white petals were distributed around the flower disk.2 Slender fingers plucked the chrysanthemum, and also frightened away the butterflies that stayed on the flowers.Luo Li put the flowers in her ears, and her beautiful face looked even more pretty.At this time, the dusk is beautiful, there is no sorrow in the poet's words, only picturesque beauty and beauty.If the old man was by his side at this time, he would definitely say sourly, "It's good to be young." ”Back in the lantern worship village, the villagers have already started a bonfire.They seemed to have let go of the grief in their hearts, drank wine, and sang.They don't have pedantic customs, they only know how to cherish the life of the moment.The old man had a rare drink at the long dining table.This is indeed a day worth having a banquet, as long as Luo Li is protected, the inheritance within the clan can continue.When the villagers saw Silas and Lori walking through the village, they cheered loudly.Silas and Lori were pulled into the crowd for no apparent reason.The crowd lifted Silas and Lori and threw them into the air again and again.They cheered, they laughed, but no one noticed the chrysanthemum that fell to the ground.
