Chapter 51 Hank Brende
The decoration on the second floor is more luxurious.
Xiao En walked up to the second floor under the leadership of a beautiful maid. As soon as he came up, he smelled a strange incense. It was not the kind of fragrance that was a little erotic and tempting, but it made people feel Very comfortable light incense.
The floor is covered with soft carpets.
On both sides are exquisite porcelain from the Dagon region, which is said to have been shipped by sea from other places.
There is a hint of medicinal herbs in the fragrance.
"Harmless, it can relax the spirit." The spirituality is flickering slightly.
Xiao En was taken into a small cubicle with exquisite mural sculptures on both sides. From the window, you can overlook the peaks of Wushan Mountain. There is a small waterfall at the end of the sight, and the hot spring should be there too. . From this position, you can overlook half of the Roman Palace, which covers an area of several thousand acres. As the sky gets darker, lights gradually emerge.
Footsteps came from the door. It was a woman in her thirties, with beautiful appearance, gentle eyebrows, and tenderness. She was dressed in a Roman-style plain dress, which reminded Xiao En of his previous life. The style in is somewhat similar.
She glanced at Xiao En, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, carefully took out a bottle of olive oil from the box, and applied it evenly on his back.
Um.
It is indeed a good place to relax.
Xiao En breathed a long sigh of relief and prepared to experience the Roman-style massage technique inherited from the Kingdom of Dorne. The force was very heavy, but it was just right for him. After evenly applying olive oil, he continued to press with the other person’s pressure. Pointing the finger, Xiao En couldn't help but snort.
There was a row of words on the side of the cubicle. He opened his eyes and took a look.
“Baths, wine and beauties corrupt our bodies, but are these not part of life?”
This sentence is very Roman.
Xiao En doesn’t know much about Rome. In his memory, it is quite extravagant and licentious. Bathing culture was indeed very popular for a period of time. Heating pipes and heating systems were installed in the bathing places very early on. .
This place is indeed as luxurious as a Roman palace, with marble columns, domed ceilings, exquisite parquet floors, fountains and statues everywhere.
Xiao En almost fell asleep here.
When he woke up from his half-asleep, the masseur had already left. He was thoughtfully covered with a thin blanket, and he smelled of olive oil, Donne's. Traditionally, applying olive oil can protect your health.
He is too tired.
The depressed heart and tense nerves left him no time to feel gentle for a moment.
"It is indeed a good place to relax and have fun. But it is probably expensive."
In this era, everything in the Roman Palace was made of money, even with the salary of an investigator , I guess I can’t afford the expensive consumption.
It’s okay to relax once in a while.
Just when Xiao En put on his bathrobe and was about to go see if Hank was awake.
Suddenly.
He heard soft footsteps coming from the stairs, and then a graceful and enchanting figure appeared in front of him. She was a beauty with a face so gorgeous that it was difficult to describe it in words. The country is in ruins, the country is in trouble and the people are in trouble, these words are not inappropriate when used on her.
She is wearing a luxurious classic black dress, with a tall and graceful figure. The rubies on her chest are shining brightly, but there is no deep snow-white ravine that catches people's attention. Her slender hands are wearing white silk gloves. , with long wavy golden hair hanging down, and on top of her head is a white lady's hat that has become more popular among Dornish ladies recently. Behind her were two girls with bright and pretty looks. They were dressed differently from the other maids. You could tell they were extraordinary from the precious jewelry they wore casually.
This woman is a bit out of tune with everything here. The stunning beauty in front of her looks like a noble lady with an extraordinary status in the palace.
"Mr. Sean?"
She showed a faint polite smile, which was obviously just a polite inquiry, but it revealed an indescribable sense of charm.
This is no longer something that a peerless beauty can describe.
Xiao En moved silently and felt confused.
In an instant!
He saw the billowing black mist reflected behind the stunning beauty in front of him. In the unpredictable black mist, the other party's face gradually changed. A pair of strange blood-red devil horns appeared on his forehead, and beautiful purple vertical lines appeared on his forehead. Her pupils were like bright gems, and strange purple tattoos appeared on her alluring face, extending from the fair side of her face to her neck, and finally disappeared on both sides of the deep ravine. When Xiao En's eyes fell on her slender legs, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly because he saw a pair of weird hoof-shaped feet.
Black mist surged, they gathered like a tide, and when they dispersed, they turned into a pair of huge bat wings that changed in reality and reality. They were disembodied wings, almost covering the entire corridor.
Not only was the stunning beauty in front of her, but behind her, the two pretty girls also showed a strange change.
They revealed pale and cold enchanting faces. Their enchanting figures were as unpredictable as mist. Their cold eyes had no pupils, only the deep darkness of death.
Extraordinary ones.
Still a very powerful high-sequence transcendent!
"The devil's path?"
"Those two maids are a bit like banshees!" Xiao En's heartbeat skipped a beat.
Across from Xiao En.
The beautiful woman with a beautiful face frowned. Under her slender willow-leaf eyebrows, her blue eyes stared at Xiao En in front of her. Her expression seemed to be a little dissatisfied and said: "Mr. Xiao En, you are like this. That’s a bit rude.”
She actually sensed something at the moment Xiao En moved away from confusion.
This woman is very strong.
Just when Xiao En was stunned, Hank hurried over. He bowed to the beautiful woman in the lead and apologized: "Ms. Diana. I'm sorry."
"A little bit A small misunderstanding.”
“He is a new investigator.”
While bowing and apologizing, Hank winked wildly at Sean.
Xiao En lowered his head slightly and said, "Sorry. I'm sorry."
Ms. Diana snorted softly.
Her eyes fell on Confusion, and she seemed to recognize this strange object. There was an inexplicable change in her eyes when she looked at Xiao En, and she whispered: "His rationality is very stable."
“There is no need to go to the third floor.”
"Wendy."
"Go and help him."
This is a big shot. He can recognize that the confused people worn by Xiao En are basically from the real world. Big boss figure.
"Okay. Madam."
Beside this beautiful lady, the girl on the right slowly walked towards Xiao En. For a moment, Xiao En seemed to be stiff. , he seemed to smell something, feel something, and an icy chill surged through his body. In the deepest part of his heart, it seemed that there was some emotion surging, which was the result of extreme darkness.
"Despair! It's despair! Master!"
Knowledge is screaming! Knowledge is screaming!
As the girl approached Xiao En, knowledge seemed to become active instantly. They were extremely restless, awakened from the initial comfortable laziness, and rushed in Xiao En's brain. The screams made Xiao En feel his eardrums stinging and his head buzzing.
"Shh! Be quiet."
The girl named Wendy stretched out a finger and gently touched Xiao En's temple, and then the extremely restless knowledge became quiet. down.
A death-like despair enveloped Xiao En's heart.
"Don't worry." The girl chuckled, brushed Xiao En's earlobe with her cold fingers, brought her seductive lips to his ear, and took a deep breath. "I'm quick."
Despair!
A gray haze invisible to the naked eye was sucked out by the girl in front of him.
The moment she opened her mouth, her face became pale and cold, and her whole person exuded a chill of despair. When her lips moved away, it was as if the clouds were clearing and the sun shrouded in Xiao Xiao. The gloom in En's heart also dissipated a lot, and a sunny mood emerged.
"Very delicious!..." The girl chuckled and murmured: "Welcome to come again next time."
She sucked away Xiao En's despair.
——The Banshee of Despair! [Indescribable Falsehood] [Monster Path]
Xiao En's mood is unprecedentedly relaxed at this moment. All along, he has gradually gained insight into the truth of the weird country, the haze shrouding the deepest part of his heart, and the terrifying aura of despair. , and with the departure of the girl in front of him, he was cleared from his inner world.
They are not extraordinary people in the normal career path!
Whether it is the stunningly beautiful Lady Diana or the two girls beside her, they are both true extraordinary beings in the monster path.
These existences are already a bit out of line for Xiao En.
Because he has not yet learned the mysterious knowledge of these paths from Lady Hecate.
Ms. Diana glanced at Xiao En indifferently, turned around and left. When she reached the stairs, she turned back and said coldly: "Wendy is the manager here. You will encounter the same trouble in the future. ”
"You can come to her."
The stunningly beautiful lady gradually faded away.
However, when she left, another pretty girl who was following her trotted back. She smiled sweetly at Xiao En, turned up her skirt and performed a lady's ceremony, introducing herself. Said: "My name is Su Qian."
"I am a psychiatrist who is good at treating fear."
Xiao En's pupils shrank when he heard this.
A succubus of despair and a succubus of fear are both indescribable illusions and existences of monster paths.
As for Lady Diana, Sean only saw a demonic reflection.
The monster path does not have a complete promotion sequence, which is what Xiao En mentioned before, and there may be no promotion sequence. Only with the extraordinary nature of the weird kingdom that is closer to the career system in human cognition can there be a complete path for career advancement.
But in the weird country, there are also many weird powers, and there is no complete path to promotion.
Their end points point to conceptual-level existence.
Hank came over and patted Xiao En on the shoulder, looking a little annoyed and said: "It's all my fault for not telling you in advance, forgetting that your inspiration is stronger than ours."
"Ms. Diana is the council member "One of the members."
This extraordinary person who is suspected of being a demon is actually a high-ranking member of the Night Watch Council?
Xiao En's expression was a little surprised.
However, the Kingdom of Dorne is a human kingdom under the protection of the path of death. With the tolerance of death, it is not that surprising to accept the extraordinary beings of the monster path.
Outside the Roman Palace.
Xiao En looked back at this luxurious and luxurious gold-selling cave, and followed Hank towards the dock.
Consumption here is extremely expensive.
You can tell when Hank comes out and can't help but touch his wallet, but this place is actually run by a super person of the monster path, which is a bit beyond Xiao En's expectation.
“Stop looking.”
"Ms. Diana, being able to come and see you has already given you some dignity." Hank smiled and patted Xiao En on the shoulder, as if he thought he was fascinated by the beautiful lady's appearance.
Xiao En was bombarded with all kinds of beauties in his previous life, so he would not be confused. There are definitely some surprises, but most of them are curious.
Transcendents of the monster path are very rare.
I didn’t expect that they could also guest star as the investigator’s psychiatrist.
Half an hour later.
"Let's go and have a drink." Hank bought two bottles of wine from the store, a small one, and threw one to Xiao En. He sat on a stone by the river and blew in the wind. After a good sleep, he felt refreshed. Feeling better, he turned to look at Xiao En and said: "Investigators can indulge occasionally, but they must maintain restraint at all times."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Xiao En Nodding silently, he unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip. It was rum.
In their line of work, they repeatedly test themselves on the edge of madness. They can occasionally indulge, but they must not indulge.
High inspiration, in the weird country, is itself a group of unlucky people.
But this group of unlucky people still serve as the eyes of the real world. They are also mortals, and there will be a day when they cannot hold on.
The wind is a bit noisy tonight.
This is relatively close to the dock area. People will walk along the river at night. There are residential areas where employees live nearby. There are often families walking along the river. The street lights here will not go out until 10:30 in the evening. Although they are under the same sky, the pedestrians walking along the road on the river bank, and Sean and Hank sitting on the rocks on the river bank drinking, seem to be people in two completely different worlds.
High inspiration means that even if no one tells them, they will know the truth of the world bit by bit.
Feel the despair of the world.
Hank took out his cigarette case.
Suddenly, his eyes froze, his expression was stunned, his fingers trembled slightly, and he looked at the family in the distance.
Hank is a Ranger. He has a steady hand and can hit flying flies with his pistol at close range.
Xiao En turned around instantly. He moved and was confused, but he saw a very ordinary family of three. There was nothing unusual about it. The husband was dressed like a clerk, and the wife was young and beautiful, in her thirties. The long skirts were fluttering, and the two people were holding a little girl of five or six years old. The couple were carrying a bunch of things in their hands, as if they had just returned.
Xiao En hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Do you know him?"
Hank nodded silently, took out the lighter with slightly trembling fingers, lit it, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "My ex-wife."
Huh?
Xiao En remained silent, not knowing whether to answer or not.
Hank sat in the corner of the shadows, his shadow stretched very long under the street lamp. He looked at the back of the family leaving. The look in his eyes at that moment made it difficult for Xiao En to use words. To describe it, Hank stared at the woman's figure until she disappeared from sight, and then he took a deep breath of cigarette.
It was a very complicated look, Xiao En couldn't quite understand it, but there was a glimmer of love in it.
He always thought that Hank was the kind of more carefree and experienced driver.
He raised his glass and touched it with Hank, and said softly: "Why did we separate?"
Hank took a sullen breath, looked at Xiao En in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "Which woman can Accepting a husband who lives with madness all the time?”
“I’m also afraid of hurting them.”
Xiao En was speechless for a long time.
He now knew why Hank kept his distance from ordinary people.
He reached out and patted Hank's shoulder, took the cigarette case, lit one, looked at the river in the distance, and stayed with him.
What the butcher calls an easy job is actually not that easy for ordinary people.
Everyone is working very hard to live.
………………
Extraordinaries on the monster path all have monster levels.
Level 1 warrior, level 1 banshee.
The former is a professional level, and the latter is a monster level.
