Chapter 1910 [Sad Opera Lehman Manor’s Wedding]

Xia De glanced at the wilted black rose in the window behind him, and then continued to say hello:

"Mr. Asmon, I haven't seen each other for a long time. It's raining, nights, flower shops, candles, our encounter is in such an interesting environment. Should I sit down and talk?"

The demon scholar did not care about the poor environment here, and sat down at the table in front of the flower shop. After the sleeves of the robe brushed across the table, the notebook he carried with him, even the rolled-up corners were placed on the table.

Xia De pointed at himself:

"I spent the Randall Valley with a bad appearance and a fishy look. The boring policeman came here to see if there was anything new during the negotiations between the two countries."

He smiled and said:

"I was also on the scene in the assassination not long ago. I plan to write a good novel about detectives and spies based on that assassination. "The Hamilton Detective Story Collection" is about to meet an opponent. Oh, what about speaking, why are there rumors of demons in Lake Green?

Mr. Sean Asmon leaned forward slightly, his black eyes staring at Shade in the candlelight:

"Assassination? It was a short shower before the conspiracy and war. But it was unexpectedly suitable for telling stories. Yes, there are legends of demons in the local area, so I came here. Rumors were that the island in the center of Lake Green is called the "Devil's Island". I stayed in the City of Glass for half a month and then came here again to explore the legend of the Edwards family that had fallen a hundred years ago."

"oh?"

Xia De pretended to be interested, listened to the sound of rain, and looked at the face of this strange man in the candlelight:

"So you are investigating this, interesting, so have you landed on the island? I heard that the island is covered by white fog all year round."

The black eyes of the demon scholar's eyes were also looking at Xia De, and he shook his head:

"There is no landing on the island. After all, there are rumors that there are demons there. You can't get in touch with them so easily, right?"

"This caution is amazing. It's a pity that we are not in the tavern now, otherwise I would really want to invite you to have a drink."

Xia De said with a smile, the strange smile on the face of the man in a brown robe was even more serious:

"No, I prefer this cold and dark environment than a tavern. In this wonderful environment, it is really wonderful to talk about stories with friends. There is no need to drink wine. Mr. Watson, do you want to play Rhodes? Just like before, I trade Rhodes for travel expenses."

"Why, I got a special rule card again?"

Xia De was a little surprised.

"This is not luck. An old gentleman who commissioned me to investigate the demon curse that entangled his family, took this as a reward. But in fact, there was no demon curse there, it was just the figure of the affair gardener and the laundry woman at night."

He took out his deck, crossed the candle and handed it to Xia De. Xia De opened the first one and saw a weird black figure dancing with a weird figure in a red long skirt in the background, and behind him was a fired manor building.

[Sad Opera·Lehman Manor Wedding], Summer Sun 11. When drawing this card, throw a coin to guess the front and back. If the guess is correct and the total number of points of the hand including the dark card is even, you can choose whether to discard the card and draw it again.

"Oh, the sad opera series."

Xia De sighed softly.

The "Sad Opera" series includes traditional operas that end with tragic colors. Corresponding to it is the "Happy Opera" series deck.

In addition to the title of "Sad Opera", people generally call it "Fifteen Famous Tragedies". As for "Lehman Manor Wedding", it tells the story of the manor gardener and the chef in love, and this relationship triggered three generations of love, ethics, wealth, and power among the entire family. The background of the period is a grand national and national epic. And all these contradictions broke out at a wedding banquet on a rainy night. In the end, the gardener killed almost everyone with a gun, walked away with the chef's body, and was struck to death by lightning on the final scene of the story.

At the end of this opera, all the famous and surnamed characters who appeared, including domestic pet dogs and named horses, died, which was simply a tragedy in tragedy. Of course, this is also the kind of story Dorothy dislikes the most.

Fortunately, this is a story adapted from traditional literature, not an ancient fairy tale, so Xia De doesn’t have to worry about learning it in depth in the future.

"Although it was a series released more than ten years ago, because it has not been reprinted for the time being, and the card surface is very delicate, the price of the [Sad Opera] series cards has always remained high. I think if I win, I buy this card for 40 pounds, and if I lose, how about buying this card for 55 pounds?"

Xia De asked the man opposite the table, who placed his right arm on his leg and leaned forward slightly:

"No problem. Of course, we can't forget our unfinished story."

He took back his card and shuffled it with Shade.

"Yes, yes, I'm looking forward to continuing to listen to the follow-up to that story."

Xia De said from the bottom of his heart.

"So Mr. Watson, do you remember where the story went?"

"certainly."

He looked at the candlelight and retold the long and weird story in the louder and louder sound of the rain:

"A wonderful existence really has the power of the rumored demon because of people's cognition. It brings disaster to the world. Until it meets a person who has no wishes, it has accompanied the man through his whole life because the other party seals the demon's "wish".

After the man died, the demon took away his soul and spent a night back to his hometown, devouring all his relatives. But those respectable people were trying their best to protect the last boy. Instead of escaping from the demon by keeping silent, the boy made a wish like the original man: I am willing to seal you with my life like my grandfather.

He then walked a long way until one day the grown boy met the girl he liked and fell in love with her. When she wanted to keep the young man, the young man killed her, just to ensure that after his death, the demon would not turn into his appearance and come to collect the girl's soul."

Xia De sighed and placed the shuffled deck on the right side of the candle, while Mr. Asmon's deck on the left side of the candle.

"The story last time was really helpless and sad, but neither the circus magician who played cards with us at that time could say that the youth's choice was wrong. If he didn't do this, the girl's fate would be exactly the same as the youth's family."

"Mr. Watson, as a writer, don't you like tragedy?"

The two were preparing to draw cards. Although it was strange to play cards under candles on the street on a rainy night, the atmosphere was indeed very good.

Xia De nodded:

"Yes, I never like tragedy."

The game adopts the most classic three-game two-win system. If a draw occurs, it will not stop until a certain side wins two games. The gameplay does not include any tricks. Xia De feels that facing the opposite person, it seems that he is better to be traditional when facing the scholar who has come from before the Steam Era.

The first and second cards were drawn, and the card that Xia De was upward was Xingchen 13, which belonged to the largest number. He smiled, inserted Xingchen 13 under the dark card, and gently picked up the latter, without the idea of ​​hiding the first card:

"Sun 5, Star 13. Oh, the first round gave me a difficult problem."

The demon scholar did not answer and continued to reach his hand to his deck:

"The protagonist of this story is still the young man who grew up. He killed his lover in the village of Linhe, and then continued to travel far away. He walked and walked, saw more things, and experienced more tragedies. Not long after, the middle-aged man who sealed the demon with himself, on a rainy night, yes, just like the night now, he came to a village that was looted by robbers."

"In just a few words, one person has been through half a lifetime."

Xia De commented that he finally touched his third card:

"Maybe sometimes I have to try my luck. If it's less than 4, I believe in my luck. Oh, Moon 1, it seems that I'm lucky. At 19 o'clock, I'll suspend trading."

The demon scholar opposite the table shows Star 9, Flower 5 and Sun 10 together:

"It seems that I'm still missing some luck."

Although he had a big card, he didn't look surprised at all, and then started the second round with Xia De:

"Even if it rains, the burning fire still reflects half of the night sky red. The villagers' broken limbs and arms twisted in the village, and the wailing wounded turned into ashes in the fire. The middle-aged man walked out of the village and walked towards the robbers who set fire in the rain for fun. The dark shadows emerged from behind him, and the sharp swords sought justice for the innocent. Even if he did not use the power of the sealed demon, he had gone through a long road over the years, which had already made him strong enough."

Sean Asmon smiled at Shade on the other side of the candle:

"And in the robbers, he rescued a noble girl who was occasionally caught by the robbers and tried to ask for ransom from her family afterwards."

Xia De sighed:

"I met a girl again. Since he was responsible for sealing the demon, he should not be associated with anyone. I can see that his life had already begun to be destined to be the moment when he was young when he decided to seal the demon alone."

The first two cards of the second game came to Xia De's hand. He glanced at him and continued to touch the cards. The man with a waxy skin opposite the table stopped touching the cards, leaning forward with his body tilted forward, still staring at Xia De.
