Chapter 2820 Weak Bug
Among the Kant family and the "Dringor Restorationists" who have direct ties with Madame Chatara and George Kant, the former will definitely be arrested directly by the Inquisition of the church, and the Kant family will become history like the Bronte family some time ago.
The latter should only be investigated secretly by the church, rather than being destroyed in one fell swoop.
The difference here is that the Kant family traded directly with the devil, and those three hundred years old antiques with devil power are evidence. Xia De even suspects that Director Kant himself knows the existence of the devil.
The latter did not make any open deals with the demons. Although Lady Shatara was one of them, she consciously kept a distance from them.
Now that I think about it, this was also a reserve measure taken by the devil to prevent himself from being exposed and destroying the situation he had worked so hard to build.
In short, less than eight hours after the demon was destroyed, Sir Wayne certainly didn't know what happened to Lady Chatara, so he still stayed in the local area and did not leave.
When Shade came to the door with the business card from yesterday's afternoon tea party, the knight was still thinking about Shade's "big business", so he happily took Shade and his "appraiser" companion to see the antiques in his hands:
"People don't have much cash these days, but I have plenty of antiques and precious metals."
He has a private residence with a yard in the local area. The antiques are placed in the basement of the house, which is protected by an all-steel security door.
Rather than a storage room, the space behind the safe door would be more appropriately called an "exhibition room."
Every shelf was filled with a wide variety of oil paintings, antiques and artworks. After getting permission, Shad and Miss Danister put on gloves and examined the antiques, and then they were very sure that these antiques were the same ones from three hundred years ago.
It was just that Xia De originally thought that the tree hole would be placed together with these antiques, but in the end he did not see anything that looked like a tree hole. So he winked at the red-haired girl who had dressed up to look more mature, and the latter suddenly said:
"Sir Wayne, do you think there is something wrong with this painting?"
The man who was happily discussing non-existent business with Xia De immediately turned his head and was met with those rose-red eyes.
Although he was cursed by time, he was just an ordinary person, and the hypnosis of the Eight-Ring Sorceress quickly controlled him.
Xia De put down the silver pendant he had been playing with, but before asking about the main business, he asked curiously:
"Sir, you know that there is a curse on you, right?"
Sir Wayne nodded with a dull look on his face:
"know."
"What is the curse?"
"The more wealth I have, the worse my luck in other aspects. So I basically don't keep any property for myself. I spend the money I earn or transfer it to others as soon as possible."
"You see, this is the price of greed, but if he can stay completely poor, maybe this curse can change his life."
The red-haired girl sighed, and this "time curse" is the mildest of all the curses Shade has encountered so far. After all, Sir Wayne is just an ordinary person, and what he did through time was just to transfer some property:
"Where do you get these antiques from?"
After satisfying his curiosity, he asked about the real business. Under the effect of hypnosis, Sir Wayne had no resistance at all:
"More than ten years ago, when I came to Vista City for business, I accidentally discovered a strange trapdoor in the local area. The door was in the then-ruinous Hoy Manor. I found through the trapdoor that the other end of the trapdoor was connected to the night of the fire three hundred years ago.
I have been moving wealth from there over the years, and the wealth of the Hoy family back then was greatly underestimated."
The red-haired girl asked in confusion:
"That door was still in the ruins of Hoy Manor? Why didn't you take it down?"
"I'm worried that the door will become inoperable after I take it down. I don't know why there is a connection three hundred years ago. I can't take the risk of killing the goose that lays golden eggs."
Shade also asked:
"Then why didn't you try to buy the old site of Hoy Manor? Or stop Director Kant from buying it there?"
The hypnotized knight then answered:
"I didn't dare to buy it, nor did I dare to stop it. Every time I had this thought, I would have a terrible dream at night. I dreamed that if I interfered with anything related to the manor, I would be haunted by the ghosts of the Hoy family."
Therefore, his accidental discovery of the door more than ten years ago, his ability to use the door, and the series of events that followed were all probably the work of that devil.
"So, among the antiques you got, do you have any other ones besides the one you kept for yourself?"
"Yes, I once met a legendary extraordinary person, a ring wizard. He taught me that every time I put a part of the antiques I obtained in a cursed village in the Vista Forest, the curse could be contained to a certain extent.
I tried it, and sure enough, the upper limit of the wealth I can hold has become higher. I don’t care if there is a problem, and I don’t want to explore too much why this is the case. ”
It goes without saying that the so-called "ring wizard" is also a means of the devil. As for the suppression of the "time curse", it once again explains the connection between the fire demon and the "remains of the world tree."
Only that evil creature can suppress the time curse of the Tree Father.
Afterwards, Shad asked Sir Wayne some more questions, and from his answers, it seemed that although he traveled through time and constantly moved wealth from the past, he really knew nothing about demons.
The entire "Derrin'or Restorationist" organization really had no actual connection with the devil. However, Shade confirmed his conjecture that Director Kant had indeed come into contact with this group of people.
According to Sir Wayne, the police chief was "as greedy as a devil". He even thought that his desire for wealth was not even one percent of that of Chief Kant. He also admitted that the chief had contact not only with them, but also with many other opponents of the royal family in Carsenrick:
"He doesn't care about loyalty or honor. He's willing to do anything as long as he's paid."
Thus, the huge network of wealth, power and conspiracy formed by the devil's split body was fully revealed. From being defeated by the "Forest Hunter" three hundred years ago to being swallowed by the doctor in the late autumn of 1854, even though the final outcome was a complete defeat, to some extent, at least its plan among mortals was completely successful.
This should be the demon that is most deeply involved in human affairs among all the demons that the outsider has encountered so far.
Sir Wayne finally gave an accurate summary:
"The situation in the Old World is so tense now, and Director Kant and we have played a big role in it. The Derinor Restorationists do not have the power to overthrow the rule of the Angevin royal family for the time being, but if the old lion is deeply involved in the war with the North, we and our partners may have a chance to revive the annexed territory of Derinor."
"Were you the ones who ignited the flames of war?"
"Of course not. We just provided fuel. Wasn't the flame of war ignited by the ambition and greed of the powerful and conspirators in Willendel? Peace is only an illusion of the times. The flame will eventually be ignited by war. War and conflict are the true norm of civilization."
In this whole thing, the only one who traveled through time and created paradoxes was Sir Wayne, so it's no surprise that the paradox worm was in his soul.
But the problem is that the time paradox he caused is too small compared to that of the "Dead Apostles". The latter made himself, who should have died, live for so many more years, but Sir Wayne only brought some dead objects that no one had from three hundred years ago to the present.
Shade even felt that he had not caused the time paradox in some way.
In short, the "paradox worm" attached to Sir Wayne's soul was extremely weak. After the two took the knight to the forest outside the city, although the elf girl emerged from the forest with an umbrella as usual, she had no intention of taking action at all:
"You can do it yourself. The bugs are too weak this time."
After using the "Staff of Yggdrasil" to force out Sir Wayne's soul, Shad watched the "first stage" insect, which was less than half the size of a human, quickly fleeing into the forest. He then remembered what the nun said, "From now on, the First Fire can also deal with the Paradox Bug."
He then decided to try the spell that Sister Defulyn had taught him when she was dying, so he asked Miss Danister and the elf girl to be careful, and raised his right hand to his side, letting the flame gather in the palm of his hand.
The large ball of flame spun rapidly in his hand, violently and silently, and it spun faster and faster. The outer part of the flame was a normal orange-yellow color, but the inner part even turned white due to the high temperature. The spinning tail of the flame kept throwing sparks towards the surrounding rain-soaked forest, and the rising temperature even caused heat to rise from where Shade was.
This was also the first time that Shade used this spell, and he even thought that the spell was about to get out of control. The flames spun faster and faster until their volume remained at the size of two human heads, but their temperature continued to rise rapidly as they spun.
Before Xia De lost control of the flame, he threw it towards the forest where the insect was flying:
"Spell - Chaos Residue!"
The flames touched the branches and trunks, melting them directly like magma touching ice, leaving a big hole. And three seconds after he threw the big spinning fireball, a dazzling white light burst out in the forest, followed by a loud bang, and the shock wave generated by the explosion swept across, causing Shade and the two girls to even take two steps back.
The expanding flames engulfed the entire forest area ahead. The heat wave even stopped the rain nearby, and large patches of steam mist rose up, which were then directly dispersed by the shock wave.
The mushroom cloud rose up in front of us after a few seconds, and the ground was shaking violently with the rumbling sound.
