Li Xuan looked at Maggie, who was looking at the pear blossoms and the rain, and sighed secretly, got up, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to her.
Maggie took the wine and drank it in large gulps, presumably hoping to numb her fear with alcohol.
Li Xuan also filled a glass for himself, took a sip and said: "In ancient European legends, there is Faust who sold his soul to the devil. The prototype of this story should be your ancestor. Selling his descendants to the evil god,
Only by gaining the power of the evil god can you defeat your enemies, occupy the land, accumulate wealth, and establish a kingdom. According to the principle of equal exchange, as long as the Gurung royal family still exists, you should send sacrifices. This is what your ancestors owe, and as a descendant, you
It’s only natural that I should repay it on my behalf.”
Maggie was horrified: "You...you also think I should be a sacrifice? But I am innocent."
"You are not innocent, you are just unlucky." Li Xuan said, "Everything you have enjoyed since you were born, your dignity and arrogance in front of others, what you eat, what you wear, and everything you own are all from your ancestors.
Yu Yin obtained with the help of the evil god. So, do you still think you are innocent?"
"Then I shouldn't be the one to bear all this!" Maggie said unconvinced, "What age is this? Why are there still such stupid things?"
"You can refuse." Li Xuan said, "If you give up everything, leave Europe, go to other corners of the world, find an ordinary person to get married and have children, the Gurung royal family may not let you go."
"They will not let me go...if I leave, it will be their descendants' turn. For the sake of their own descendants, they will not let me go. Otherwise, I will not come to you for help.
Maggie shook her head, her face full of despair.
At this moment, the door was knocked gently, and a deep voice came from outside.
"Princess Maggie, are you there?"
As soon as the voice entered the room, Maggie's face suddenly turned pale, her whole body was shaking violently, her mouth opened and closed unable to say even a single word, and she looked at Li Xuan in horror, her eyes pleading for help.
There was no answer, and the knock on the door rang again.
The voice said: "Princess Maggie, please open the door. If you don't open the door, I will come in by myself."
As he said that, the door suddenly clicked, the lock shattered, the door slowly opened, and an old man with a white beard walked in slowly.
He was wearing a tuxedo and holding a civilized stick in his hand. He looked like an old-school gentleman from the Eagle Kingdom, but he exuded a very fierce aura.
"Housekeeper Delon!" Princess Maggie opened her eyes wide in horror. She looked like a little white rabbit who encountered a big bad wolf in the jungle. She was so frightened that she was paralyzed, and she didn't even have the strength to stand up and run away.
The person who came was none other than Delong, the chief steward of the Gurung royal family.
Although the Gurung royal family has long been divided into dozens of branches spread across the European continent, there is still a very secret organization in the family called: Zuting!
The ancestral court always has three positions: high priest, chief steward and chief guard. All matters involving the royal family are decided by these three.
Delong is the contemporary great housekeeper of the ancestral court. According to the kinship relationship, Maggie should call him grandpa.
This great butler is not only a descendant of the royal family, but also a superhero who has awakened the power of his blood. He was a member of the Watcher League when he was young. When he was older, he entered the ancestral court and served the Gurung royal family wholeheartedly.
Delong is usually elusive and only shows up at the most solemn gatherings of the royal family. This time he actually found Li Xuan's room, and it was obvious why he was there.
Staring at Maggie, Delong said coldly: "Maggie, there is only one week until the day of the sacrifice. I will take you back to Greenland and spend the last time with your parents."
Maggie still had a trace of luck left, but after hearing this, she suddenly fell into despair and said in horror: "Butler, can I not go back? I don't want to be a sacrifice! I'm still young, and I still have a lot.
I haven’t done anything yet, and I don’t want to die!”
Delong shook his head and said: "You know the rules of the family. When it's your turn, it's you. Before you, there were many people who didn't want to be sacrifices, but for the continuation of the family, they still sacrificed themselves. This is a kind of
It’s glorious, you should feel honored!”
With that said, Delong stretched out his hand: "Get up and follow me."
At this moment, Li Xuan spoke.
"Who allowed you to break into my room?"
Delong glanced at Li Xuan, his eyes as sharp as two knives, making people wonder if his internal organs would be secretly injured if he looked at him a few more times.
Li Xuan glanced back.
At this glance, Delong's sharp gaze was instantly shattered, his eyes stung, he groaned, covered his eyes and staggered back two steps, blood dripping from his fingers.
"Uh, ah! Who are you?" Delong exclaimed.
His ability is eye magic, he can hurt people with his gaze, and he has never failed.
Unexpectedly, this time he encountered a ruthless character. Not only was Li Xuan not injured, but he was stabbed in both eyes. He was bleeding profusely and it was unclear whether he was blind or not.
Li Xuan said calmly: "You don't deserve to know who I am. Now get out and fix the door for me, or I'll dig out two of your eyeballs!"
Delong was horrified: "Do you know who I am?"
"I don't care who you are." Li Xuan waved his hand.
With a "bang", Delong flew out and fell into the corridor outside the room.
"I'll give you twenty minutes to fix the door!"
After Li Xuan said that, without waiting for Delong to answer, he picked up Maggie who was crumpled into a ball and walked into the bedroom inside.
When Li Xuan left, Delong still couldn't come to his senses. He couldn't believe that he would be so humiliated.
He took out his mobile phone with difficulty and dialed a number: "High Priest, I'm injured. I'm in Benzhong City, Eagle Country..."
After describing the encounter, Delong said: "I request the support of the Royal Iron Guard!"
"Wait a minute. You said the one who hurt you was a young Chinese man? Isn't he very handsome?" The high priest was furious, but suddenly remembered something and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Yes...he is a young Chinese man, very handsome." Delong recalled.
The high priest hurriedly said: "You should do as he said immediately. Go and fix the door quickly, or else you will act rashly again!"
"Why?" Deron asked incredulously.
The high priest trembled: "It's that person...it's that...the Chinese God of Death who kills without blinking an eye!"
The Chinese God of Death.
This is a nickname given to Li Xuan by some forces in Europe, and it is already known to almost everyone in high-level circles.
Delong was also shocked: "What...he...he is the Chinese God of Death? Maggie actually stayed with him, so what should we do?"
"We can only think about it in the long term!" the high priest said with sweat dripping down his back.
Delong hung up the phone, stayed for a few seconds, and suddenly shouted: "Administrator, administrator, come and fix the door!"
