Chapter 4072 Old acquaintance
Not to mention Edward, even Angel and others who were watching the live broadcast at this time didn't know how to break the deadlock.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this live variety show will end here." The water clone said softly, "Laplace chose Coleman before, mainly for the live broadcast effect."
"It seems that we still have to choose the most suitable people to enter the ritual world like Sigimund did."
Luigi clicked his tongue and said, "Actually, I think that live variety shows don't have to be set in real dungeons. You can also consider me. I've been fighting challengers every day recently. There's an artistic atmosphere, I can enjoy elegant music, and I can also witness the fighting in the duel. Isn't this more effective than them?"
Angel: "What you said makes sense. We need reality shows, and we also need music variety shows. The show "Uriel Music Arena Defense Battle" is also worth watching..."
Luigi was stunned. What the hell is "Uriel's Music Arena Defense"? Is the name already chosen?
Angle paused, "But then again, you don't need a live broadcast. If you really want to make it into a variety show, I'll give you some illusion nodes later. You can record the challenge process yourself with illusion, and when you leave the dungeon, I'll give it to Turing to make it into a music variety show for you."
Luigi: "???"
Why can they live broadcast but I can’t?
Angel turned his head silently and glanced at Luigi: "If you record it yourself, wouldn't it be up to you to choose the material?"
"Or do you actually want to show the audience the scene of you sneak attacking your opponent without following martial ethics?"
Luigi protested: "I didn't attack them by surprise. I just knew their characteristics in advance and asked Mr. Sun and Ms. Moon to set up a trap for me..."
Angel chuckled and didn't respond.
Luigi pursed his lips and said, "But you do have some truth in what you said. My live broadcast of the music competition may not be very good. When I come out, I will record the process of my own competition... As for whether to make it into a music variety show, I will think about it when the time comes."
Back to the point.
When seeing Satan and Coleman being struck by lightning and the others being angry but helpless, Angel sighed silently: "We went in too hastily."
If Edward stayed in Modern City for a longer period of time and got a few more complete puzzle pieces, perhaps he could have found a way out.
But now, unless there is some kind of deus ex machina, Edward and his friends’ journey into the ritual world will have to end here.
Just as Angel was thinking this, a turning point like "Deus Ex Machina" really appeared, but this turning point was something Angel had never thought of...
The man wearing the mask with a strange smile suddenly fell silent for a moment, and slowly looked towards Edward.
"Come to think of it, more than 700 years have passed, and Mr. Edward has not changed at all. I am really envious of him."
Edward: “???”
When the masked man said this, Edward, Angel and others were all stunned.
Does the masked man know Edward?
"you……"
Edward wanted to say something, but the masked man spoke first: "No, it's not that you haven't changed at all. At least you are much weaker now than when I first met you."
"Even I didn't recognize you at first, I just thought your hairstyle was familiar. Later, I went to my wife to confirm your identity."
"Who are you?" Edward stared at the masked man, as if trying to confirm his identity from his appearance and details.
The masked man did not reply, but remained silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.
After a moment, he sighed and said, "Madam's affection for you actually surpasses that of Chaos Zhiyuan."
"Your wife?"
The masked man nodded gently: "My wife wants to see you."
After saying this, without waiting for Edward to make a decision, the masked man slowly turned around and walked into the darkness.
Not long after, the masked man came out pushing a cart.
This cart is a bit like a dining cart, except that a dining cart is filled with plates and food; this cart is filled with a lot of thick red velvet, a lady's mirror with lace, a jewelry tree...
It was like putting all the tools used in a lady's boudoir on a cart.
But what attracted the most attention was not the boudoir items, but a woman's head on a tray.
Her situation was exactly the opposite of Coleman's. Coleman was empty above the neck, while she was empty below the neck.
Although only a head was left of her, her appearance was extremely charming. She had neither the immaturity of a young girl nor the vulgarity of a young woman, but was full of elegance and uniqueness that came with the passage of time.
With her long hair tied up, she looks more exquisite.
However, this was only the feeling at first sight. When her eyes opened from being tightly closed, this elegance and refinement instantly collapsed.
There was nothing in the scarlet eye sockets, and thick resentment seeped out like substance, like the embodiment of a curse that had imprisoned her for thousands of years. Just glancing at her face was enough to make people shudder.
If it were someone else, seeing this scene, they would probably be frightened to the point of turning pale, and wouldn't even dare to look at her.
But the only ones still awake at the scene were Edward and Ice Girl.
The Ice Girl is emotionally indifferent and doesn't care about these things at all.
Edward didn't care about such a head. He collected many heads and used them as molds for wigs.
Moreover, Edward observed very carefully. He really wanted to know who they were and why they knew him.
Is he an enemy or an old friend?
When Edward looked at the woman's head carefully, she also opened her empty eyes and stared at Edward.
No one spoke, and the masked man stood silently beside the cart.
Everyone seemed to be waiting for Edward to break the silence.
While observing the woman's appearance, Edward searched his mind for past memories, especially those from seven hundred years ago...
Suddenly, when he saw the wrinkles at the corners of the woman's eyes, a figure suddenly flashed in his mind.
That is……
"You..." Edward opened his mouth to say something, but his throat felt a little dry. He swallowed his dry saliva and said slowly, "If you can put a mole on the corner of your eye, it might be more beautiful."
When the woman heard Edward's words, her lips suddenly curled up.
"After so many years, I didn't expect Mr. Edward to still remember what he said."
The dry sound was very unpleasant and harsh.
It's like a faint breeze gushing out from a deep well, carrying the breath of a deep valley and the abyss.
Edward looked at the woman's head, and felt an inexplicable warmth in his eyes: "Madam, you are my benefactor...how dare I forget?"
The moment he finished speaking, tears began to fall from Edward's eyes.
The woman looked at Edward who was crying, her lips slightly parted, but she said nothing more.
The air was silent for a long time.
Edward slowly looked at the masked man. He already knew the identity of the woman's head, so he also knew the identity of this man: "Mayor Reginald, long time no see..."
After hearing Edward's name, the masked man hesitated for a moment, but still took off his mask.
Revealing an old, blood-stained, and withered face missing an eye.
Although his face looked like a zombie, Edward still confirmed his identity from his bone structure. It was Reginald... the mayor of Yi Town.
The woman's head belonged to the hostess of Yi Town, Lady Beata.
If Edward were asked to choose who is the person who has helped him the most in Yi Town, he would undoubtedly put Bubble first, and the second would be the mayor and his wife of Yi Town.
When he first entered the ritual world, he didn't know anything.
Reginald, the mayor of Yi Town, took him in. Although he was only taken in for one day, his kindness was very great. Because if Reginald had not taken him in, he would have been marked by the moon on the first day. Once marked, he would never be able to leave Yi World again.
The mayor's wife, Beata, was the real driving force behind Edward's survival in Yi Town and even in the Yi world. Because Beata was impressed by Edward's makeup and hair skills, she not only took the initiative to invest, but also helped Edward attract many noble sisters to spend money with him.
Only with more soul coins can Edward survive in the Yi world.
Even the rumors of the "secret place" and the opportunity to meet Bubble were helped by Mrs. Beatrice.
It can be said that without their funding and help, Edward would not have been able to wait for the opportunity to leave the Yi world.
Edward always had a regret in his heart, that is, before entering the secret place, he did not repay the kindness of the mayor and his wife... He did not know the rules of the secret place at that time, nor did he know that he would stay in the secret place for hundreds of years.
So I missed the chance to repay the favor.
Later, a hundred years passed quickly, and Edward thought they were all dead, and could only keep the regret in his heart.
But who would have thought that not only did they not die, but they actually met them again after entering the Yi world this time...
This made Edward very surprised, but when he saw their situation, especially Mrs. Beata's appearance, he felt extremely sad.
Mixed feelings of sadness and joy, tears streaming down my face.
At this moment, Edward had only one thought in his mind: this trip was worth it.
Even if he was killed by Reginald or Lady Beata in the end, he would not care, and would even feel guilty. After all, the death of this body was not real death...
Putting aside the violent thoughts in Edward's heart, while he was crying, Reginald walked aside silently and pulled an unknown mechanism.
Edward, who was hanging in the air, was slowly lowered to the ground.
Reginald stepped forward and untied the chains on Edward.
"I thought you were dead..." Edward looked up at Reginald who was so close to him, tears still flowing from his eyes.
After all, this body is different from his original body and is still a mortal body.
He clearly wanted to control many of his emotions, but he still couldn't.
Reginald had no intention of letting Edward go, as his emotions were no longer as rich as they used to be. But seeing Edward's tears, Reginald's heart, which had been cold and numb for so many years in the Blood Faction, opened up again.
This comes from the tears of an old friend.
Edward probably didn't expect that the true emotions expressed in his mortal body would actually find a way out for his life.
"I have also thought that it might have been better if we had died at that time." Reginald looked back at his wife, his tone a little low.
"Get up."
"You are the only person who has left Yi Town and is still alive. As the mayor of Yi Town, I will give you a chance to live."
Reginald pointed at Beata and said, "Madam misses the makeup and hair you designed for her. If you can satisfy her again today, I can make the decision and let you go."
……
Reginald did not give Edward a chance to refuse, and directly pulled him by the collar and brought him to Lady Beatrice.
Mrs. Beata reached out her hair and rolled it up in Edward's hand.
Edward did not refuse and followed them into the darkness.
The Ice Girl silently looked in the direction where Edward left without saying a word. Only a cold white hand stretched out in the picture, as if she wanted to grab something, but finally let it go silently.
The live broadcast was still going on, but the picture was frozen.
Because Coleman was unconscious, Edward left, and the Ice Girl was too lazy to move...
Angel looked at the nearly still picture and let out a long sigh.
He had thought of using "Deus Ex Machina" to break the impasse, but at the time, he had imagined that a giant beast from the dream world, similar to the white whale in the sky, would emerge from under the sea of clouds, and then its tail would accidentally sweep across the palace, killing the masked man and breaking the chains that bound the three people, so that they could be rescued...
Of course, Angel also knew that this idea was unreliable, so he didn't believe that "deus ex machina" really existed.
But who knew that a turning point would come.
The masked man is actually the mayor of Yi Town!
Is this too much of a coincidence?
wrong.
Is it possible that this isn't a coincidence?
Angel narrowed his eyes and thought so.
Could it be that the Fairyland Power dropped Edward and others near this palace because they knew that Reginald and Beata were old acquaintances of Edward?
Ingres thought about it carefully and felt that the power of the fairyland was a bit too deified.
If it were an ordinary copy, the power of the fairyland would indeed have the ability to control everything. However, the ritual world is the real world, let alone control, wanting to perceive the situation in the world in advance is equivalent to digging into the corner of the laws of the world.
Basically unlikely.
So, this could really be a coincidence.
Angel shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Edward had been in the Yi World for eight hundred years, and the first hundred years were basically spent in the makeup and hair business. He had come into contact with countless customers, so it was normal to meet a few acquaintances.
"Although this turn of events was somewhat unexpected, at least their lives were saved." Angel looked at the almost frozen picture, with a hint of relief in his tone.
"It's indeed a bit unexpected." The water clone nodded in agreement, "It's like a coincidence carefully arranged by fate."
When Edward first stepped into the Yi world, the first person he met was the mayor of Yi Town; and it was the mayor's wife who gave him hope.
Now, time seems to have returned to the starting point - Edward once again stepped into the ritual world, and the first masked man he met was still the mayor, and the one who saved his life was still the mayor's wife...
