Shade nodded and placed the box on the windowsill. Even if it is a cherished extraordinary item, the devil's creation must not be kept, it needs to be destroyed.
"I can see that your desire is more than that. What else do you want?"
The old musician asked again, and Xia De thought for a while:
"What about power? Say anything and people will do it."
The devil nodded and agreed with this view. He took off the golden button on his cuff and handed it to Shade:
"Wear this on your body and go speak in public. People will be convinced of your opinion and follow you. Maybe you can start in the pub."
"very nice."
Shade nodded again, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Dr. Schneider walking in from the door. The doctor was much faster than him, and at this time, he also noticed who Shade was talking to.
"But your desires are still more than these. Tell me, young man, what do you want most?"
The devil continued to ask with a smile.
Shade raised his eyebrows and looked at the window next to him. The room was very lively, but Tobesk seemed very quiet in the dark night. He saw from the reflection that Dr. Schneider was very close, and he could come over in about twenty steps.
, but at the same time, he seemed to see a blurry figure flashing behind him:
"What I want most..."
Shade chuckled, scratched his head and gave the answer sheepishly:
"Of course, pretty girl."
After he hesitated for a moment, he added:
"There are many beautiful girls. I once confessed my sins to a priest in Coldwater Port. I like many beautiful girls."
He said half-truthfully.
The devil showed an understanding expression:
"Yes, young people of your age always think so. It's very good. This desire is very good."
This time, it dug out its left eye and handed the eye with some sticky black liquid to Shade. The missing eye was bleeding, but no one around him seemed to notice it.
Same scene as this:
"Put these eyes in your sockets, and any girl who looks into your eyes will fall in love with you."
The old musician who was missing one eye clapped his hands and looked very happy:
"In this way, your desire can be realized."
But Shade didn't take the eyeball, rather disgusted with the blood on it:
"I didn't expect you would be satisfied just like this. Do you think this is all my desires?"
Shade asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Um?"
The ancient evil demon raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him in surprise. The only remaining eye was slightly narrowed, not caring about the strangeness in the other person's language, but instead exploring the truth of the other person's desire more carefully:
"Do you have more than that? Fun, greed, laziness, oh, and that horrible gluttony."
The demon spreading desire looked at Shade inquiringly. He saw part of the truth, but soon noticed more things:
"what is that?"
It seemed to see another familiar shadow in the body of the young male human in front of it. With just a little thought, the ancient memory automatically completed the truth.
Shade thought it saw the First Fire, or even divinity, but the demon saw something he didn't expect.
A laughing woman’s head, a mermaid tail made of countless naked and white hands and feet, and an existence that has swallowed countless souls to the point where it is the incarnation of some extreme power——
"【desire】!"
The answer came out of his mouth. The unbelievable answer made the devil take two steps back. A look of panic appeared on the old musician's face, which was unimaginable for the devil:
"How could you have her power! A big sin!"
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to run, but bumped into another person head-on. With the power of the devil, it should have knocked away all the blockers, but this time, it was knocked to the ground.
Shade supported it from behind, and Dr. Schneider, who came over with a cold face, reached out to hold its hand:
"I finally found you."
The middle-aged doctor with a faint red glow in his eyes whispered, his voice a little smooth:
"Where are you going to run to this time?"
As soon as the doctor's hand touched the old musician, the old musician seemed to have lost all his strength. If Shade hadn't been holding it up, it would have fallen to the ground immediately:
"you you......"
No one paid attention here, but the doctor's mouth, which was split in the palm of his hand, had already bitten the devil's arm. Only Shade could hear the sucking sound, and the devil's power was quickly being absorbed by the doctor.
"Do you think this is the end?"
The old musician squeezed out the sound from his throat with difficulty, and with only one eye left, he looked at the doctor fiercely in the scarlet light:
"I am the demon of desire... multiplication. Do you think this is my only body?"
"I know, the other body is on the roof."
The doctor said softly, his expression not very serious:
"We'll go find it right away, you can't escape."
"I know you are chasing me. Now, let me tell you a secret."
The old musician was helped by Sha De and came to the window. His eyes were fixed on the doctor:
"I have prepared a special gift for you, a sage-level relic. Once my body dies, another body will release the relic on the roof of the building. No one of you can even think about it..."
Dr. Schneider expressionlessly stretched out his hand to break its neck, and at the same time let go of his right hand:
"What's here is not the main body. It seems to be smarter than I thought. The main body is upstairs."
Shade looked at the old musician's body that had been dead for a week, and placed it there, as if lying on the window sill looking at the night:
"A sage-level relic..."
He sighed softly, and a red light flashed in the doctor's eyes:
"If the body contaminated by demons is not dealt with in time, it will become a breeding ground for other demons. Once the matter is resolved, write a letter and tell the church. As for the relics..."
He looked up, as if he could look at the ancient evil through the floor:
"It's normal for ancient evil spirits to have strange things in their hands. Let's go, detective, to the roof. It didn't escape, it's waiting for us."
The Royal Festival Concert Hall has one underground floor and four above-ground floors. Since there are open-air concerts every summer on the roof of the concert hall, the top floor should actually be five floors above ground.
After leaving the dressing room on the second floor, under the leadership of Dr. Schneider, they continued walking towards the east side, hoping to reach the top floor directly through the stairs. While there was no one around, the doctor lowered his voice and said to Shade under the gas lamp on the stairs:
"The other party probably knows that I also use the power of demons, so it most likely arranged a relic that specifically restrains demons to deal with me. It thinks that after I and the relic work out the result, it will decide what to do next. If possible, it will be necessary later
You stop that relic."
Shade, who was holding the violin case, nodded slightly. Sage-level (level 2) relics should never be underestimated. The only sage-level relic he had encountered so far that fully demonstrated its power was the [Fishbone Pirate Ship]. But the Fishbone Pirate Ship
After all, among the sage-level relics, they are also the more powerful ones. If it is a sage-level relic that is purely aimed at demons, Shade feels confident that he can try to stop it.
There are special stairs for the musicians to go up and down the floors for performances. The stairs for the guests that the doctor took Shade to take are almost no free people going up and down at will during the performance.
They walked on the red carpet towards the upper level. Although they were cautious along the way, they did not encounter any relics that attacked them.
The door leading to the roof was locked with an iron chain, but that didn't stop the doctor from breaking the lock. After arriving at the roof, Victor Penny, standing alone in the night, seemed to be in the dark.
Waiting for them.
Snowflakes started to fall in the sky at some point, and the snow soon became heavier and heavier. The snow on the roof from earlier this week had not melted completely. A series of obvious footprints extended from the stairs to the devil, and then
Extending back from the devil's feet, it was obvious that someone had already been here before Shade and the doctor.
Because it was snowing, the weather was gloomy, and coupled with the thick gray fog, there were almost no stars in the sky, and even the moonlight was so hazy.
Bill Schneider stared at the demon under the moonlight, while Shade looked at the full-length gray angel statue standing in the shadow. The angel statue stood behind the demon, with its head lowered and its face covered with hands, as if it was crying.
【Outlander, you have been exposed to whispers and miracles.】
"Is this a relic?"
Angel statues are actually quite common as decorations in this era. But the one in front of you does not have any sacred meaning. On the contrary, just standing there makes people instinctively uneasy.
The whisper element is very terrifying, and this relic is probably the most dangerous among sage-level relics.
The doctor had no time to pay attention to the statue at this time. He looked at the demon in front of him and took a step forward:
"I'm surprised you didn't run away."
"I'm also surprised that someone like you exists."
Victor Fannie also looked at the doctor with a weird smile:
"I know you want to devour me, and I even know what you are. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Your desire is equally delicious to me. You treat me as prey, and I treat you as prey. "
The devil and the doctor who sealed the devil stood together in the snow. Behind the former was a statue of an angel, and behind the latter was a foreigner carrying a violin case who inherited the equipment of a witcher in the sixth era.
They both looked at each other until the demon pointed to the ground:
"Tonight, use this concert hall as a stage and a hunting ground. Let's give it a try and see who is the best hunter."
The demon took a step back, and the dead-like statue of the masked angel actually took the initiative to slide a step forward:
"Sage-level relic, Weeping Angel."
It smiled and said to the doctor:
"I know you are confident in dealing with me, but how are you going to deal with this relic?"
