After Xu Shuo mysteriously disappeared, he stopped by to threaten the archaeologists who were still struggling.
Then he watched with satisfaction as they began to march towards the tower.
Hey! Just the right thing to do!
Xu Shuo retracted his gaze and slowly walked towards the tower. After pushing open the huge palace door, the scene in front of him came into view.
Armand Ledeton, who was wearing a gorgeous tuxedo costume, stood next to Qilisi's body, with a gentle and polite smile on his face. The moment he saw the girl come in, his eyes bloomed with extremely fanatical reverence!
"My master!"
Xu Shuo glanced at him lightly, walked to the rose bush, and looked at the petrified body lying quietly inside.
In this pale stone-gray body, only the heart has a bright red color.
Ordinary weapons cannot harm the witch, and if her heart is not destroyed, the witch will not die completely.
Therefore, this rose growing in the heart is particularly eye-catching.
It should have been gorgeous and unparalleled, but at this moment, a dense mass of ink appeared on its blood-red petals.
Just like dense water droplets sprinkled on the lotus pods, black spots of varying sizes also appeared on the rose petals, and the rich black completely covered the bright red.
Because of this change, the petals of the rose drooped. It seemed that it had been eroded by some kind of filth and became sluggish.
Xu Shuo touched the rose and asked calmly: "What happened?"
"Master, it's those intruders!"
Butler Armand Ray's expression became extremely angry, and he sternly said: "Those intruders carry the ugliness from the outside world. It is their filth that has polluted the master's castle!"
Xu Shuo lifted the petals with his fingers and looked at the gentleman and elegant butler with a half-smile.
"Then what should I do?" he seemed to ask.
"Master, they are not worthy of staying in Prague Castle, and they are even less worthy of being integrated with the master's power!
“The souls and bodies of these people are extremely filthy!
"They should be executed!"
Xu Shuo nodded thoughtfully, then frowned: "But, I think my castle should be replaced by a housekeeper. Armand, you have worked for me for so long, it's time for you to rest."
Armand Ray stared at the girl in front of him with burning eyes, madness and admiration flashed in his eyes: "No! I can stay with the master forever!"
"I'm very touched by your loyalty." Xu Shuo smiled warmly and said, "But you shouldn't betray me."
"Master..." Armand Ray's eyes were stunned.
"How could you forget that the thing I hate most is betrayal. Armand, I have given you the greatest freedom, but this is the only thing that is unforgivable."
"No! I didn't betray you!"
"You hid the hunter."
"Master...I..."
"You tried to destroy my prey."
"..."
Xu Shuo stepped forward, the smile that always hung on his lips was particularly cold at this moment. He quickly reached out and clasped Armand Ray's neck, and his low voice was like the whisper of a devil: "Disobedience to me is betrayal."
The fingers that were clinging to his throat gradually tightened, and Armand Ray had difficulty breathing, but he made no movement to resist at all.
He seemed to want to say something else, but struggled to make a sound.
Blood-red lines began to spread under his skin, spreading like blood vessels, but as delicate as silk, flowing strangely through the pale skin.
In the end, Armand Ray's entire body became extremely red, and his eyeballs were congested and swollen, as if they were about to burst!
Xu Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly and tightened his fingers suddenly!
boom--!
Armand Ray's body suddenly exploded, and blood-red liquid splashed in all directions, but then, the blood that flew out condensed into blood vines in an instant and wrapped around Xu Shuo!
The next moment, the blood red gradually turned into pitch black.
At the same time, Xu Shuo also felt that the contractual connection with Armand Ray was severed.
Those black vines rushed towards him crazily, scrambling to restrain the girl standing next to the rose bush, until they formed a cocoon.
And Armand Ray, who had just exploded into blood, also condensed again, but this time it was not a bright red, but a crazy and deep darkness!
Tick tock tick…
The sticky dark substance dripped from his body. Armand Ray was still wearing the tuxedo, and he was still standing elegantly as a gentleman.
He suddenly sighed quietly: "Master, look at how dirty this is."
Armand Ray walked towards the girl who was bound by the black vines, and touched her cheek religiously with his fingers. There was still burning madness in his eyes looking at the girl.
"How can I bear to have you contaminated by this filth?"
he said softly.
Then a black substance was left on Xu Shuo's face.
Armand Ray immediately rolled up his sleeves and wiped him carefully with soft lace satin, looking serious as if he was dealing with the rarest treasure.
"You don't deserve this kind of power, Armand."
Xu Shuo said lightly. He maintained the calmness that a powerful witch should have, but his eyes showed some doubts.
Armand Ray smiled: "Yes, I do not have such power, but when I was helping my master deal with bugs, I found that he had that kind of power."
"That hunter? I thought you were on the same side with him. After all, you deceived me for him."
"No, no, no, master, I did not betray you!"
Armand Ray emphasized this matter again, but under the current circumstances, this sentence is more or less mocking and weird.
He controlled the black vine and restrained the girl tightly on the armchair.
Then, like a dutiful servant, he leaned on one knee at his master's feet, pious and respectful:
"This is all for you. I will not allow anything that will harm you to exist, and in order to do this, I must have the strength to protect you, right?
"So you attacked the hunter and took away his power?" Xu Shuo's eyes flashed slightly.
"He deserves to die, he brought the filth to Prague Castle, and he will be harmful to you." Armand Ray's face darkened.
"But aren't you doing the same thing now?" Xu Shuo sneered.
"That's different!"
Armand Ray was a double standard. He picked up the girl's right hand and looked at her with obsession and fanaticism: "I did all this to be with you forever!"
"But, I'm tired of you."
Xu Shuo looked at him indifferently and pronounced his death sentence with ruthless words: "Armand, you make me feel extremely disgusted."
As soon as he finished speaking, Armand Ray's face suddenly darkened, as gloomy as water.
The darkness that filled his body instantly spread out, shrouding the entire tower palace in a sticky darkness full of malice. The rose bushes surrounding Qilisi's body also quickly withered and were dyed into a silent black.
The only place where there is still red is the rose flower at the heart of Qilisi's body.
But even the petals of that rose have been contaminated by darkness.
The scarlet moon in the sky also dimmed at this moment, and the entire castle was plunged into a breathless and oppressive darkness, as if it was sinking to the bottom of an abyss.
"My lord, please wait here, I will make you need me."
Looking at the girl who seemed to be weakening to the naked eye, Armand Ley smiled gracefully, then stood up and walked out.
Qilisi needs someone to take care of the castle for her.
Then he wouldn't mind helping her make a choice, leaving him alone here.
