Chapter 108 Seeing is not necessarily believing
Doyle didn't speak, she didn't know what tone and posture to answer Shaar's words.
And Xiaya obviously didn't mean to talk to her, but asked Sebas.
"What do you think this is?"
Sebas stared at the headless horseman with a slightly solemn expression.
Arthur's swordsmanship is superb, and his strength is comparable to that of the headless horseman, and the headless horseman is obviously better at horse fighting, which is a disadvantage.
However, even though Arthur slashed many swords of the headless horseman, and the sharpness of the long sword broke through the defense of the armor, the headless horseman still didn't notice it.
It's like having an immortal body.
In other words, the headless horseman didn't deliberately defend at all, and all of them were killing moves with big contracts and extinction. At the beginning, Arthur could suppress them with his skills.
But with the exhaustion of physical strength, Arthur gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Seeing this, the surrounding assassins also rushed up to help.
"This doesn't seem to be an ordinary wraith." Sebas murmured softly, "Perhaps, it is because of the belief brought by local legends that it has become a special kind of existence."
"Besides that, what else?" Shaar said.
"Anything else?" Sebas was taken aback, he frowned slightly and looked at the Headless Horseman.
Xia Ya didn't intend to continue playing riddles, but continued, "I feel a breath of death from him."
"Death." Sebastian's pupils contracted slightly, "You mean, it's also a god of death?"
After a pause, Sebastian thought about it, "It is also possible that this kind of thing will be incorporated by Hades, after all, Hades really lacks people.
But if it is the god of death, why would it violate the rules of Hades and harvest souls at will?
Moreover, the process of the God of Death harvesting souls cannot be seen by ordinary people. "
"Maybe, it's under control?" Isabel, who was in Shaar's arms, said.
Shaar looked down at her.
"The legend of the headless horseman is also in Britannia," Isabel said. "His head occupies a very important proportion in the legend."
Sebastian nodded thoughtfully, "Like this kind of wraith, the missing parts will affect the integrity of the soul.
For them, it's very important.
If someone gets his head, it is indeed possible to control him through this. "
He thought for a while, "Could it be that guy named Baker? I think he is very suspicious, has motives, and most importantly, the Dullahan killed his rival in love, but he didn't kill him alone."
Shaar didn't speak, just quietly watching Arthur who was fighting the Headless Horseman.
He has memorized almost the same sword skills, but he still lacks real combat. This headless horseman's combat power is not strong, and he doesn't have any special powers. It is very suitable to be his opponent.
Sebastian seemed to understand what Xia meant, and he didn't participate in it, but turned his head to look at the woman named Marlene.
She was kneeling and weeping bitterly in front of the headless corpse.
However, Xiaya noticed that she was looking to this side from the corner of her eye, obviously acting for them.
Sebastian didn't know if he saw it, but he walked straight to Marlene, pulled out a piece of paper from somewhere and handed it to her.
Ma Lin was taken aback for a moment, but still took the paper, said thank you delicately, then raised her head and looked at Sebastian.
The more she looked at her, the brighter her eyes became.
I don't know if there are certain requirements for the appearance of the god of death when the underworld accepts the god of death.
But at least the Grim Reaper Shaar saw was not bad looking, and Sebastian was the same, and it should be in line with the aesthetics of Europeans, at least much better looking than the man who died on the ground.
And perhaps to attract customers, his clothes are generally very delicate.
Under the cloak is a suit that only the upper classes would wear. Marlene obviously noticed this too. Almost instantly, she gave a definition to the foreigner in front of her.
Good looking, rich, high social status.
Her eyes lit up, and the next moment, tears gushed out of her eye sockets again, and she hugged the corpse and sobbed.
"Wulff, why did you die?
Obviously we just got married.
What should I do if you die? "
Tears slid down her cheeks, and the pear blossoms crying with rain made people feel distressed.
This kind of weak and helpless tears is the most likely to arouse a man's desire to protect. Ma Lin used this trick to attract many men, and it was tried and tested.
"Condolences."
Sebastian said with a serious expression, "In life, one must experience death once.
At least, in his short life, he once had a beautiful lady like you, and his life was considered complete. "
"But. But." Ma Lin's eyes were red, and her voice was choked with sobs.
"That's the fate." Sebastian said, "But his death is only the death of the body, and all your memories of being with him will not disappear.
As long as you remember him, he will always live in your heart. "
She looked at Sebastian, with sadness in her eyes but also a little splendor.
"Thank you, you are such a kind gentleman."
Sebastian smiled softly, "It's okay, as long as I can help you."
Ma Lin looked at the corpse on one side, and her teary eyes showed a little confusion and helplessness, "But... what should I do in the future."
"You can leave it to me for the future." Sebastian whispered from the side.
The corner of Marlene's mouth raised an imperceptible arc, which was an expression of a prey taking the bait.
This guy is really easy to catch, easier than those in the past, Ma Lin thought.
Next, is the lift.
She turned her head and looked at Sebastian with misty eyes.
But then, a business card blocked her view.
???
Marlene took the business card with a puzzled expression and looked at it. The British Isle and Britannia both use the same language, so there is nothing to understand.
It says:
【Talos Funeral Service Shop】
【Business scope: coffins, urns, mortuary plastic surgery, funeral customization.】
【Address: Cole Street 122c】
【Sebas Tiatit】
Mourning. Funeral services?
Marlene didn't react for a while.
"You can entrust me with his affairs."
Sebastian said with a sincere smile, "I also have a certain understanding of British funeral culture, and I will definitely handle it properly for you, so that their last journey can be dignified and meaningful.
In the past, my business scope was mainly in the imperial capital of Britannia, where many high-society people were my customers and gave me a lot of praise.
Recently I want to expand my business to Europe and you will be my first guest. "
Sebastian smiled shyly.
"In the future, if you have other lovers who want to have funerals.
I can give you half price for the second set. "
Xia also came over, smiled and handed Ma Lin the business card he made.
"You can also consider coming to me for the wine or flowers to be used at the funeral."
Now that the tavern is closed, and I can't sit and eat, I always have to find some side jobs.
Sebastian looked at Char, he smiled helplessly, "Mr. Char, you can come to me directly, I'm actually also looking for suppliers of drinks and flowers."
Xia Ya's eyes lit up, "We can cooperate with each other."
"Of course, I don't need profits in this regard." Sebastian laughed.
Looking at the two men who completely ignored him.
Ma Lin, who recovered from the sluggishness, felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation. She pursed her lips tightly, and the anger in her heart was burning.
At this time, the headless horseman on one side seemed to have discovered something, broke free from Arthur's sword, walked straight towards Char, and swung the blade towards Char from top to bottom.
"clang!"
Under Marlene's slightly widened eyes, with a crisp sound, the headless horseman's blade seemed to have hit a wall made of air, and stagnated in mid-air, unable to move at all.
But even so, the Headless Horseman still didn't give up and kept slashing at the wall.
Seeing this, Hoover's eyes flashed for a moment, clutching his chest, staggered over from the side, looked at Marlene and said bluntly.
"Hand over his head, Marlene Farsi."
Marlene came back to her senses and looked at Hoover with a confused expression, "What do you mean?"
"You hid the head of the headless horseman, and then controlled him to kill, right?" Hoover said.
"We have been investigating you for the past few days, and have been watching you for many days.
You are a foreigner, and you have obtained a lot of inheritance through a fraudulent marriage outside.
The man who was beheaded by the headless horseman outside not long ago should be your ex-husband.
Although your name has changed, your appearance will not change.
You seduce those rich men to marry you with your beauty, and then you send the Dull Horseman to kill your husbands.
Through the way of inheritance, legally obtain the property of those rich people, right?
You and Baker happened to be having a tryst near the Forbidden Forest, and your newly married husband just happened to show up here.
The Headless Horseman also appears at this very moment and kills your husband.
There are not so many coincidences in this world.
Do you think everyone here is an idiot? "
Hoover looked at Sebastian, "You should have guessed it, so you came here to test her."
"Try to explore?"
Sebastian, who came back to his senses, touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.
"That's right. It's really for testing."
He looked at Marlene with sharp eyes.
"Aren't you telling the truth?"
"With you alone, it is absolutely impossible to get the head of the headless horseman." Hoover stared at Marlene, "Tell me the situation behind you, and I can consider letting you go."
Marlene seemed a little anxious, "It's really not me!"
Sebastian frowned, "You still haven't said?"
"Maybe it's not her."
Shaar looked at the Headless Horseman who was still attacking the surrounding barriers with his blade and murmured softly.
The dense mist surrounds it, making it even more hazy.
Hoover frowned, "It's so obvious, why doubt it?"
"Sebas." Char said quietly, "Have you checked the Book of the Dead, did that Woolf die today?"
Sebastian seemed to have thought of something, raised his hand, and the Book of the Dead appeared in his hand, and quickly began to look up Woolf's name.
Soon, there was a result in the Book of the Dead, which read.
[Wulff, died today at the hands of Baker Hamas, cause of death: asphyxiation. 】
Sebastian's pupils contracted slightly, and he looked at the Headless Horseman.
"So, he did die today, right?" Shaar's eyes were full of brilliance, "If he is the "Reaper", he should indeed appear here to harvest souls."
"But." Sebastian still felt that something was wrong, "This is against the rules. Even if this human died today, this knight shouldn't directly kill him in public."
"Perhaps, we are all wrong." Shaar murmured softly.
"What do you mean?" Sebas frowned.
People around are a little puzzled.
"Have you ever thought about another possibility, that it wasn't the headless horseman who killed Woolf, but Woolf's death attracted the headless horseman."
Hoover seemed to understand something, and couldn't help saying, "But we all saw it!"
Xia Ya's mouth raised an imperceptible arc.
"Seeing is not necessarily believing."
