When Ogierd was flipping through the book, Kaiyan and others gathered around and read the contents with a desire for knowledge. Reso even quietly recited the spell that Ogierd had just recited.
A huge fire broke out in the house, and at first everyone didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just an illusion. But then thick fog filled their mouths and noses, and they realized that the fire was real!
"Put out the fire!" Reso shouted, "Use the seal!"
A huge amount of mental power poured out from the hands of the five demon hunters, setting off a violent storm in the room. The seemingly erratic flames ignored the demon hunters' seals and were still burning.
"What's going on?"
"I understand. This is Alice's dream. The flames are part of her dream, but we are not. So we can't interfere with these fires!"
"If the flames are a dream, then why can they disturb us?" Kolgrim pulled up his mask to ease his breathing difficulties. "Is this magic?"
Seeing that he could not put out the fire, Kaiyan used the [Alder Seal] to blast towards the door in an attempt to escape. However, he saw the wall ripple like water. Kaiyan's seal was like a breeze blowing across the lake, causing only a few ripples.
The wall in front of them had actually turned into an illusion that no one could step into.
Kaiyan's eyes widened: "This is very magical!"
"There's something more magical." Lann took off Kaiyan's clothes and pointed to a painting on the wall.
The witcher looked closely and saw another landscape painting of Everec Manor.
"This painting...is it exactly the same as when I came in from outside?"
"Right." Lan nodded, "So follow me."
Without waiting for others to react, Lan rushed forward. His left hand touched the canvas, and then a vortex-like suction force wrapped around his whole body, swallowing him into the painting in an instant.
A dizziness far more intense than before instantly invaded all of Lan's senses, but before he could recover, another wave of biting chill swept over him.
When I looked up, I saw a snowstorm in front of me!
The cold wind mixed with snowflakes made his exposed skin feel like it was cut by a knife. Lan raised his hand and put a layer of [Quen Seal] on himself, which relieved the pain a little.
"This scene is like the Wild Hunt is coming!"
Lan En complained loudly, and when he turned around he heard a series of "thumps", and all the people from the Snake Sect and Kaiyan fell to the ground one after another.
"First there was fire, then there was a blizzard, so what on earth was this mistress dreaming about?"
The newly arrived demon hunters were quickly taught a lesson by the weather, and they all learned to cast hand seals like Lann. However, their [Quinn] was obviously not as good as Lann's, and it turned into pieces in a few breaths in the blizzard.
It turned out that Kaiyan opened a circular protective shield to cover the surrounding Snake Faction companions, but the protective shield was extremely small, so the four Snake Faction demon hunters almost hugged each other with their chests pressed against their backs to barely cover them.
"What kind of seal is this?"
"Quinn, this is the only reward from those decades of living in a muddle. I don't know what principle caused it to become like this." Kaiyan shouted to the people of the Snake Sect, "Reso, can you make yourself smaller? You are taking up the space of two people!"
"The environment of the dream changes with Alice's mood. Such a drastic reaction means that we are close to her!" Lane shouted to everyone, and the blizzard blurred his voice.
He then pointed ahead and said, "There's a house over there, and it's already solid. That's where the next memory is. Let's go in and hide from the snow!"
The paintings in Ogierd's study teleported the group back to the manor's garden, leaving them completely exposed to the snowstorm. At this moment, the road leading back to the main body of the manor had become solid, obviously guiding them to the next memory location.
Kaiyan was holding up the shield and couldn't move, so Reso picked him up and ran like a beam.
Rushing into the side room of the manor, the door finally blocked out the blizzard, and warmth and light greeted us.
Kaiyan jumped down nimbly from Reso's shoulder, glared at the cold-faced bald man with dissatisfaction, and observed the memory scene in the room with everyone else.
There were three people in the room. In addition to Alice and Ogierd, Alice's father who had appeared in the restaurant before was also here. He was showing something to Ogierd in front of him, but his hands were empty.
Kolgrim thought for a moment, "What is the old man holding? This time we must find what he has in his hand."
Oaks laughed and said, "You call him 'old man', but you may be older than him."
Alice hid behind her father, and in front of them was Olgierd, sitting rudely at the table, his hand clenched where there should be a wine glass.
At this point, Ogierd looked very similar to what Lann and the others had seen: a fierce complexion, a rough temperament, and many hideous and ferocious scars on the sides of his head.
Lann found a glass full of vodka and put it into Ogierd's hand, while Reso found a marriage contract on the ground that was exactly what Alice's father wanted to show.
After the two items found their respective owners, the three memory reflections in front of them moved again, showing everyone the scene at that time -
…
All the candles in the house were lit and the fireplace was filled with firewood, but the surging heat could not bring any warmth to the three people in the house.
Ogierd raised his head and drank the liquor. There were seven or eight empty bottles on the table behind him. He didn't care at all how rude his behavior was.
Alice's father didn't care about this, or rather, he was happy to see Olgierd showing this face in front of his daughter. For him, everything was about to end, and the character of the person in front of him would soon have nothing to do with him.
The old man read the contract in his hand aloud: "...In addition, both families must treat Alice with respect, listen to her advice and requests, and..."
Olgierd staggered against the table. He had obviously drunk a lot of wine, but he was not drunk at all. His face was full of impatience.
"Just get to the point, 'Dad'. I'm running out of patience."
Alice looked at the man in front of her sadly. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and turned away, as if she didn't want to see the next scene.
The old man gave Olgierd a cold look. "I am happy to do so."
"At Ellie's request, I declare this marriage - over!"
The old man put away the contract in his hand and blocked Ogierd's view of his daughter. "You are ignorant and shameless, and you almost killed Alice. You deserve this!"
Olgierd turned a deaf ear to his father-in-law's accusations. He didn't care what other people said. He just looked at his wife:
"You swore to stay with me until death do us part."
There was not much sadness in his tone, but rather accusations and anger towards his wife for breaking the contract and violating her oath.
Alice was still dressed in the familiar way, a simple black dress and dark eyeshadow. She seemed to have cried, so there were some irregular halos on her eyeshadow.
"I kept my promise, but the Olgierd I knew is no longer here."
"It's not easy to break your promise, believe me." Olgierd stood up suddenly and shouted to his wife, "I won't let you leave. You must stay here and never leave!"
"That's enough!" Alice's father was extremely angry. "You have no right to order my daughter around."
The old man of noble birth was annoyed by Ogierd's unreasonable behavior. He had never taken a liking to this impoverished nobleman.
But what happened next was beyond his expectations. Olgierd was even angrier than Alice's father, and he grabbed the old man by the collar and threw him out like a sack.
With a loud bang, the old man's head hit the marble column hard, accompanied by a crisp sound of bone cracking. Alice's father's eyes suddenly widened, and then his expression froze, and he slowly slid to the ground without a sound.
"Father!"
The development of the matter was beyond Alice's expectations. She collapsed to the ground, covering her face and crying.
Olgierd poured another glass of wine into his mouth and shouted: "Come, drag this body out and feed him to the wild beasts!"
…
The love story has gradually become darker at this point, and the couple in the house are very different from the happy appearance they had when Lan and his friends first entered the dream world in the painting.
Following the call of Ogierd in the memory phantom, a thick black fog spread out not far away, and soon formed the shape of three monsters on all fours.
"These shadows... look like ghouls."
Neither the zombies nor the dark shadow monsters before them could withstand the swords of the six demon hunters, and they were chopped into pieces in just a few breaths.
Then, black fog suddenly condensed five steps away from everyone. Before they could take an alert posture, the black cat and the black dog appeared.
Kaiyan raised his chin and said, "You have been missing for a while."
The black cat ignored the words of the cat-faction witcher and just looked at the memory phantom in front of him that had stopped moving and turned into a sculpture: "By the time he got here, Olgierd had almost lost his human self."
The black dog responded: "The only thing he has is the love for his wife."
But the black cat refuted the black dog for the first time: "No, he just remembered to continue loving his wife. In fact, there is no real 'love' in his heart anymore."
The demon hunters shook their heads. Even though they had seen a lot, a marriage drama of this magnitude was still an eye-opener for them.
The phantom road in front of them solidified. Going up the stairs, they came to another memory reflection. According to the black cat and the black dog, this was the last memory reflection.
The timeline of this reflection is very close to the present, and everyone in the room even saw the gatekeeper who was hacked to death by them at the gate of the manor.
The black cat said, "This was the last conversation between Alice and Olgierd. We were there at the time."
The black dog nodded: "We are also part of the memories."
The black cat and the black dog became ethereal and then condensed at Alice's feet. This was where they were at that time.
There seemed to be a dining scene in front of me. Alice was sitting at the table, and there was only her tableware on the table. Not far away was the gatekeeper, who pretended to hold something in his hands, but his hands were empty.
Everyone quickly found three bowls in the room, one of which was just the right size for the gatekeeper's hand, and the other two were placed in front of the black cat and black dog as they were guided.
"You eat from this bowl?" Kaiyan teased, "I thought you were creatures from another world, not eating like normal cats and dogs."
According to the position of the two bowls, the black cat and the black dog have to bend down and lick the food in the bowls at the owner's dining table, just like the image shown by their bodies, which is obviously very different from their true image as "alien demons".
"Of course not!" For the first time, the black cat's tone showed emotion. It looked at its bowl and the nearby janitor with disdain. "We are not animals! It's just that the janitor is always nosy and will put the bowls out to make the dining process more 'atmospheric'."
Everyone nodded in understanding. Recalling the scene when they first entered the manor, they beat up the gatekeeper, while the black cat and the black dog watched from a distance.
Suddenly they understood.
After the three bowls were placed, the phantom in front of him began to move again -
…
"You summoned new monsters again? Please stop. These two guys are enough to annoy me."
Alice complained, but her tone was flat, like a frozen lake. Her voice was light and quiet, reminding people of the dead lark, who no longer had the joyful look of saying "I have you, and that's all I need" by the fountain in the garden.
Facing his wife's reproach, Ogierd turned to look at the silent gatekeeper, who was holding the dinner prepared for Alice: buttered bread, Toussaint wine, fruit from the manor's fruit trees, and a small piece of roast meat, simple but rich.
"Cats and dogs are there to keep you company, but a caretaker is there to protect you and manage the house, and he or she will never leave no matter what happens."
Alice had painted pictures of the future for Olgierd, including the idea of having a cat and a dog. Olgierd fulfilled his wife's wish.
But all this only made Alice feel sadder: "I've always wanted to know what you think, because I think I can help you..."
She stood up, slowly approached her former husband, and looked him in the eyes: "But now I don't care what you think or how you feel."
Olgierd's face was calm, and his eyes, reflecting his wife's, were like a cold glass ball, without a trace of emotion:
"I... don't feel anything."
Alice lowered her head: "I don't know if I still hate you now... Go away, Olgierd, leave my sight, and never come back."
These were Alice's last words to Olgierd.
Ogierd looked at his wife deeply, turned and left, and the scene of memory was frozen at this moment.
…
"Ogierd von Everec left us to keep his mistress company," said the black dog, looking at the scene before him, "but he did not realize that we could never replace him."
The black cat jumped onto the table and looked at the reflection of Alice's memory. "So now every scene she recalls has the shadow of Olgierd in it."
The black cat and the black dog looked back at Lann and his group. Their figures turned into mist and then condensed beside a door not far away.
"Come here, our journey is almost at its end. Here lies Alice's greatest fear."
After passing through the door and a short corridor, the lobby of the building appeared in front of us. The lights were on and all the candles were lit. The blazing fireplace brought a hint of coolness to everyone.
There was a small round table in the middle of the hall. Lan picked it up and saw two letters written by Olgierd to Alice on the table:
One of them seems to be a love letter between the two before they got married:
【my sweetheart:
I miss you all the time. I think of us drinking in the Alchemy Inn until dawn, and you used the sawdust on the floor to draw the house of our dreams. I think of us sitting on the dock and playing in the water with our feet, and you singing funny songs that made me laugh. I kissed the badge and fell asleep hugging your portrait, so that when I opened my eyes I could still see you, as if you were right next to me.
Please don't give up. There is still a week left before your wedding with the Orphir. I will find a way. Maybe I will have enough money to pay off the debt by then, or my tears will soften your father's heart, or the gods will hear our prayers and perform a miracle. If the gods don't hear them, maybe the devil will respond.
If there is no other way, I will break the window of the temple and kidnap you from your wedding. Together we will flee to a faraway country, to the edge of the world, where no one can find us.
I swear to God: we will be together forever.
I love you!
——Your Ou. 】
The other is a letter left by Olgierd when he left the manor:
Alice:
I really wish I could wield words as skillfully as I wield weapons, especially now that my heart has become a cold hole.
I saw the way you looked at me, and witnessed your withering process. I can't help you, but I believe I can reduce the harm to you.
This letter and this rose are my farewell. I hope that in the future you will only remember the good times we had.
—Ogierd.
Two small pieces of paper with the same handwriting showed a shocking contrast.
Just as the witchers were reading the two letters, the candles in the room gradually began to go out, and something began to slither in the darkness.
Everyone present was very sharp-eyed and had good hearing and multitasking. Even when reading a letter, they would not ignore the movements around them. Just as they looked up to check the situation, the flames in the house suddenly went out.
That last ray of light outlined a familiar silhouette for everyone.
Then, darkness fell.
"boom--"
According to the location in his memory, Lan cast an Igni Sign towards the fireplace, filling the room with a little light again.
Twelve figures were illuminated in the room by the flames.
Yes, twelve. In addition to Lann and his group, there were six other monsters with twisted limbs in the house.
They all wore dirty, blood-stained hoods used for death row prisoners, and were tied with hemp ropes that cut deep into their flesh. The most striking thing was that each of them had a familiar machete stuck in their body, either through the chest or stuck in the neck. If it were a normal person, it would be impossible to survive with such injuries.
These six monsters barely had human limbs, but they were twisted and staggering, and two of them were still walking on their ankles. They had not approached the witcher in the darkness for such a long time; after sensing that the room was suddenly bright, they took off their bloodstained hoods, revealing a hideous face with silent eyes.
Like a zombie.
It's Olgierd!
"Alice's worst nightmare - is this the image of Olgierd in Alice's mind now?"
In the game of the previous life, this was the last level. And these enemies in front of him were the main reason why Lann brought the demon hunters here.
The six nightmare reflections of Olgierd surrounded the crowd, but only one would move at a time, while the other five stood still like statues. The other nightmare reflections would only move when one of the following two situations occurred: one was when the previous reflection was killed, and the next one would take over and attack; the other was when they were attacked, and they would break free from their immobilization state in order to fight back.
This setting seems like you can leisurely kill them one by one, but these nightmare reflections have another mechanism: the dead reflections will share their power with the remaining reflections.
In other words - these nightmare reflections will become stronger the more you kill them! When you kill the last nightmare reflection, it will be difficult for swords to break through the defense!
If one were to challenge the level alone, he might have to passively face increasingly powerful enemies like playing a ladder, but Lann brought the demon hunters here to avoid this situation.
Six demon hunters, facing six nightmare reflections.
"One for each person. Their strength is roughly the same as that of a normal Olgierd. Letho should have told you about their strength. They are temporarily atomized and extremely powerful. The only difference from a genuine Olgierd is that they are not truly immortal and can be killed."
"Only Reso and I can guarantee a win here." Lann looked at Reso, "We should deal with the opponent as soon as possible, and the others should try to delay and wait for us to come and support them."
All the demon hunters responded in unison, and the sound of long swords being unsheathed continued to ring out. Then, a golden light flashed, and six [Quenn Seals] appeared at the same time.
Lan took a deep breath, urged the magic power in his body to be injected into his left palm, and slapped the ground hard - [Yaden Seal·Magic Burst]!
A huge purple magic circle that almost covered the entire room rose from the ground. Magic beams like lightning kept jumping on the body of the nightmare reflection, instantly making all the monsters that were originally like statues move.
"superior!"
Looking at the zombie version of Ogierd coming towards him, Lann cast a fire seal on him.
The nightmare reflection was instantly swallowed by the flames, but then a thick black mist surged out from the gaps in the flames, and as if it had life, it condensed and formed above Lann's head, turning into an ugly arm holding a scimitar.
Lan's pupils suddenly shrank and he rolled forward to avoid the enemy falling from the sky.
After the nightmare reflection landed on the ground, it assumed an extremely awkward posture, like a broken doll, but its speed was not slow.
He continued to swing the knife in a way that was completely against the human body structure, slashing at the rolling Lann. Although Lann blocked all of his attacks and did not cause any damage, the red light on the scimitar became stronger and stronger.
With a "swish", the scimitar finally accumulated enough magic power and suddenly burst out with a red wave more than one person tall, attacking Lann in mid-air.
Lann had reacted after dodging the initial sneak attack, and now he rolled over towards Ogierd, passing through the red light like a breeze.
At this moment, the nightmare reflection was still in the inertial buffering stage of the full-strength chopping, and the old strength was exhausted and the new strength was used up. Lann seized the opportunity to swing the rune sword, and in the flash of golden light, he chopped off the opponent's right hand holding the knife. Then he turned the sword tip slightly and chopped off the opponent's head with another sword.
This was not the end. Knowing that the opponent had a certain degree of self-healing ability and had no vital points, Lann attached the purple hourglass mark that only he could see to the opponent without any slackness, and manually struck a bolt of Aden Thunder, then stretched out his left hand and began to brew flames.
[Igni Seal: Magical Explosion]!
The raging flames completely devoured the three-petal corpse. Lann did not dare to slack off and continued to invest magic power to maintain the flames, turning into a human flamethrower. Until a hoarse and unpleasant scream sounded, and a black mist emerged from the flames in front of him again.
But this time the black fog did not condense into a solid entity, but instead split into four parts in the air and injected into the remaining nightmare reflection.
Huh? Four copies? Only four nightmare reflections?
Lann looked carefully and found that in addition to him, Reso also happened to use his mental force to attack the chest of the nightmare reflection in front of him as a harvest, turning the opponent into a ball of black mist, which then split apart.
Although he is not as good as Lann in terms of dazzling magic offensive and strong magic power, Leisuo can still achieve comparable results with Lann with his superhuman strength and rich combat experience. If it is a serious demon hunter instead of an enemy that restrains the snake school's combat method, Leisuo's speed will only be faster.
After the black mist of the two dead nightmare reflections merged into the bodies of the remaining enemies, the four demon hunters who were fighting against them suddenly felt a huge increase in pressure.
Lann looked at them. Oaks and Serrit worked well together, fighting the enemy 2v2. They could have managed to cope with it, but after the enemy was strengthened, they were immediately stretched to their limits. Reso was running towards them.
Kaiyan was quite capable. Lan was worried that the cat faction would be too busy to deal with such a powerful enemy without any weak points, but he saw that Kaiyan's strength was not inferior to the nightmare reflection after being strengthened by the black mist twice. Not only that, he could always accurately distinguish the direction of the opponent after the mist appeared, and counter the enemy who wanted to sneak attack him.
It seemed that decades of experiments and demonic possession had greatly enhanced Kaiyan's strength. It was also the first time for him to fight so vigorously, and the red light in his eyes was flashing more and more. Even without support, he would be able to defeat the enemy in a dozen rounds.
Then there is only one person left who needs to be taken care of at the moment - Kolgrim.
Kolgrim's strength was greater than that of Oaks and Serrit, otherwise he would not have been sent out to collect the blueprints of the school's inherited equipment. However, the poison that the Snake School was best at had no effect at the moment, and he did not have a tacit companion who could always look after his back, so he was suppressed the moment the nightmare reflection was strengthened.
"Dang dang dang dang" the enemy in front of him suddenly began to dance with his sword rapidly, followed by an unprecedented blade slash, which instantly shattered the [Quinn Seal] on Kolgrim's body and left a cut mark on his chest armor.
Kolgrim yelled in frustration, "You deserve the plague! My new armor! I haven't even enchanted it yet!"
Before he could react, he suddenly felt another huge impact on his side, and he flew sideways for a long distance without any resistance.
And right where he just stood, black fog quietly condensed and took shape. The nightmare reflection that had originally wanted to launch a sneak attack twisted its arms and launched a series of combos into the air on the spot.
While running, Lann retracted his left hand which was still in the seal posture, stepped forward, twisted his waist, lowered his shoulders and swung his arms, and the rune sword burst out with golden light.
[Whirling Sword Dance]!
The nightmare reflection waved his sword and tried to fight, but was suddenly cut off by the fangs of a poisonous snake that appeared in the dark, and his body tilted, and he offered his head to Lann's sword.
Kolgrim sheathed his sword and jumped to dodge. This was the most comfortable way for him to fight against humanoid creatures.
Lann chopped off the opponent's head in the first round of the sword dance, but that was not enough. His body continued to rotate with inertia, and the blade flexibly slashed across the enemy's body.
Elbows, shoulders, knees, legs, waist, chest. Every time the sharp rune sword passed by, the nightmare reflection would change into a "piece" of golden light that kept dimming and brightening in the dark room, "puffing" like a meat grinder.
He chopped the body of the nightmare reflection into minced meat until it completely turned into black mist and disappeared.
On another battlefield, Ox and Serrit were holding off the enemy's pressure in the front, while Reso, a poisonous giant python, hid in the darkness and launched a sneak attack, easily turning the two nightmare reflections into residual mist.
So Kaiyan was the only one left at the scene.
Now the cat-faction demon hunters were no longer evenly matched and grew more courageous as before. They could only hold up their [Quen's Seal·Shield] with great difficulty, and were chopped by the enemy like iron forging.
At this moment, there was still thick fog in the air that had not completely merged into the body. Lann seized the opportunity to support Kaian, causing a lot of injuries to the Nightmare Reflection. Then the six demon hunters worked together to deal with the already seriously injured Nightmare Reflection, and finally strangled it to death.
There was still black fog in the air that had not yet been completely infused with the nightmare reflection. Now it had no target and completely dissipated into the air.
The candles in the room were relit, and the light illuminated the hall again.
Everyone put away their swords breathlessly and looked around, hoping to find the black cat and the black dog to guide them in the next direction.
But they didn't see the two figures again. Instead, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind a door at the back of the hall.
Those were not the voices of an enemy, for the footsteps were light; they must have been those of a woman or a child; and their steps were disorderly and sounded anxious.
Everyone's eyes immediately focused there.
The door opened, and light and darkness came in. A person that everyone was familiar with but saw for the first time appeared in sight.
She was wearing a long black dress that looked like mourning, and a black veil dotted with small pearls.
Alice, the mistress of the manor and Ogierd's wife, is also the target of everyone's dream journey in this painting.
Her complexion was paler than any of the previous memories, and her eyeshadow was messy, but combined with her figure and face, it gave her a dark Gothic style filter. Not gaudy, but beautiful.
It is not surprising that such a woman could attract both Dogield and the prince of the Kingdom of Ofir. It can even be said that this series of events was caused by her.
At this moment, Alice had an indescribable expression on her face. The many murderous witchers in the room did not make her show any fear.
"You are not him..."
The voice echoed in the empty hall.
"Who are you? I remember... I had a very long nightmare, and you were in it."
Finally seeing the destination of his group's trip, Lann stepped forward and introduced himself to Alice:
"We are not your nightmare. On the contrary, we are here to end your nightmare. If you think about it carefully, you should still remember that we buried your body."
Alice's face showed a distressed expression. She stared at Lan's face, and her frown gradually relaxed.
"I slept for a long time... Before I fell asleep, I remember I was lying on the bed, looking at the purple rose that Olgierd gave me before he left. This lasted for several days until it turned into powder..."
She suddenly lowered her eyes and saw her hands clasped on her lower abdomen, holding a gorgeous purple rose.
"I died? It seemed so... You buried me and made the purple rose reappear in this world. Then I woke up from my dream, just like my beautiful rose."
Alice, who had just woken up, gradually recalled everything. Perhaps it was because she hadn't seen other living people for a long time, or because Lann didn't seem like a bad person to her, she smiled at this moment.
It was a very faint smile, not the one that everyone had seen at weddings before, but it was still beautiful.
"Thank you. I also saw the portrait you took out of the room, which reminded me of how clumsy I was when I was learning to paint." Alice's grateful smile was fleeting. "You just said you wanted to end my nightmare. Why did you help me?"
"Because when I help you end your nightmare, I am also helping me." Lann lowered his voice, trying to make himself sound gentle. "We need your help to kill Olgierd. When he dies, your nightmare will end."
It is a bit too absurd to say that you want to kill someone's husband in front of his wife, even if the couple is already divorced.
Alice tightened her hands, causing the purple rose to shake.
"You are his enemy? That's right, considering his character." Alice shook her head and asked hesitantly, "What did he do?"
"Most of the evil you can think of."
This statement was far more powerful than recounting all of Olgierd's crimes. Alice lowered her head in sorrow. "I'm sorry, but he must have done terrible things to you, too."
Lann stepped forward and comforted him, "You don't have to apologize to anyone for him. You are now one of his countless evil deeds, and you have even suffered some of the most terrible ones."
After hearing what Lann said, Alice was silent for a long time and said, "I don't know if I still hate him. If he dies, it may be a relief for both him and me. But I don't know how I can help you, and I don't want to cause his death myself, so I'm sorry - I can't help you."
Lan En shook his head: "In fact, your presence is the biggest help to me."
Alice showed a puzzled expression, and then she saw Lann flip his hand, and suddenly a jade statue appeared in his hand. The appearance of the statue made her cover her mouth in surprise, and an incredible guess appeared in her mind.
In addition to this statue, a huge canvas appeared in Lane's other hand. When it was spread out on the ground, it turned out to be a huge moon drawn with simple strokes.
Lann placed the jade statue of Ogierd on the canvas and began to chant something, with chaotic energy surging all over his body.
Then the statue began to glow and swell, throb, and tremble. Its jade-like outer shell also peeled off, and finally a naked man appeared.
"Ogierd..." Alice covered her mouth. Nostalgia and fear appeared in her eyes at the same time, causing her to slowly step back until her slender back leaned against the wall of the hall.
Olgierd pressed his head, trying his best to overcome the effects of the spell. He was an abnormal life form that would not be harmed by the [Transformation and Sealing Spell] spell, or he didn't care about the harm, so after a short period of dizziness and confusion, he quickly recovered and began to look around.
"This is... my Everec Manor, and... Alice?"
Olgierd saw his wife.
"Lannister! I thought you would be an interesting man! Are you going to threaten me with my wife?!"
"Don't compare me to yourself, Olgierd," Lann said coldly, "and don't pretend to be a loving husband. You killed your wife's father, and used the devil summoned by black magic as a jailer to imprison her in this manor and not allow her to leave even a step, and caused her death."
Olgierd was stunned, and he turned to Alice. Being well versed in the dark arts, he immediately saw the essence of his wife's life at this moment.
"Alice...are you dead?"
The female ghost in black veil lowered her eyes. When she was trapped in the manor, she spent her days missing her husband, but when he really appeared in front of her, she just wanted to get away from him immediately.
