Doyle didn't speak. She didn't know what tone and attitude to use to answer Xia Ya's words.
And Char obviously didn't mean to talk to her anymore, but asked Sebas.
"What do you think this is?"
Sebastian 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, so he falls behind in this regard.
However, even if Arthur hit the Headless Horseman with many swords, the sharpness of the sword broke through the armor's defense, and 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. It was all a killer move that ended the contract. At the beginning, Arthur could still suppress it with his skills.
But with the exhaustion of physical strength, Arthur gradually fell behind.
The assassins around him saw this and rushed to help.
"This does not seem to be an ordinary wraith." Sebastian murmured softly, "Perhaps it is because of the belief brought by local legends that it has turned into some kind of special existence."
"Besides that, what else is there?" Xia Ya said.
"What else?" Sebastian was stunned. He frowned slightly and stared at the headless horseman.
Xia Ya had no intention of continuing to play riddles, but continued, "I felt an aura of death on his body."
"Death." Sebastian's pupils shrank slightly, "You mean, it is also the God of Death?"
After a pause, Sebastian thought thoughtfully, "There is a possibility that this kind of thing will be absorbed by Hades. After all, Hades is indeed short of people.
But if it is the God of Death, why does it violate the rules of Hades and harvest souls at will?
Moreover, the process of reaping souls by the God of Death cannot be seen by mortals. "
"Maybe it's controlled?" Isabel in Xia's arms asked.
Char looked down at her.
"The legend of the Headless Horseman also exists in Britannia." Isabel said, "His head plays a very important role in the legend."
Sebastian nodded thoughtfully, "Like this kind of wraith, the missing part will affect the integrity of the soul.
For them, it is very important.
If someone obtained his head, it would indeed be possible to control him through this. "
He thought for a moment, "Could it be the guy named Baker? I think he is very suspicious and has a motive. And the most important thing is that the Headless Horseman killed his love rival, but he did not kill him."
Char said nothing, just quietly watching Arthur who was fighting the Headless Horseman.
He has almost memorized the swordsmanship routines, but he still lacks real actual combat. The headless horseman's combat effectiveness is not strong, and he has no special power, so he is very suitable to be his opponent.
Sebastian seemed to understand what Char meant, and he did not get involved. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the woman named Marin.
She was kneeling down in front of the headless body and crying bitterly.
But Xia Ya noticed that she was looking this way with the corner of her eye, obviously acting for them.
Sebastian didn't know if he saw it, but he walked straight towards Marin, pulled out a piece of paper from somewhere and handed it to her.
Ma Lin was stunned, but she still took the paper, said thank you sweetly, then raised her head and looked at Sebas.
The more she looked at it, the brighter her eyes became.
I wonder if Hades has certain requirements for the appearance of the God of Death when it accepts him.
But at least the Shinigami that Char saw looked good, and so did Sebas, and they should be in line with European aesthetics, at least much better-looking than the dead man on the ground.
And perhaps to attract customers, his clothes are usually very exquisite.
Under the cloak was a suit that only the upper class would wear. Ma Lin obviously noticed this. Almost instantly, she had a definition of the foreigner in front of her.
He is handsome, rich and has a high social status.
Her eyes lit up, and the next moment, tears burst out of her eyes again, and she hugged the body and sobbed.
"Wulf, why did you die?
Obviously we just got married.
What should I do if I die? "
Tears fell from her cheeks, and her crying was heartbreaking.
Such weak and helpless tears are most likely to arouse a man's desire for protection. Ma Lin used this trick to attract many men, and it worked repeatedly.
"Condolences."
Sebastian said with a heavy face, "In life, you 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.
"This is fate." Sebastian said, "But his death is only physical death, and all the memories you have with him will not disappear.
As long as you remember him, he will always live in your heart. "
She looked at Sebastian, her eyes filled with sadness but also a little bit of brilliance.
"Thank you, you are such a kind gentleman."
Sebastian smiled softly, "It's okay, I'll be happy if I can help you."
Ma Lin looked at the corpse on one side, her tearful eyes showing a little confusion and helplessness, "But... what should I do in the future?"
"You can leave everything to me from now on." Sebastian whispered from one side.
The corners of Ma Lin's mouth curved in an imperceptible arc, an expression like a prey taking the bait.
This guy is really easy to catch, easier than the previous ones, Ma Lin thought to herself.
Next, it’s time to lift the pole.
She turned her head and looked at Sebastian with misty eyes.
But then, a business card obscured her view.
? ? ?
Marin took the business card with a puzzled look and read it. Britain and Britannia both used the same language, so there was nothing they couldn't understand.
What it says is:
【Talos Funeral Service Shop】
[Business scope: coffins, urns, mortuary plastic surgery, and funeral customization.]
[Address: 122c Cole Street]
【Sebas Tiatet】
Funeral.Funeral service?
Ma Lin didn't react for a while.
"You can entrust me to handle everything after his death."
Sebastian said with a sincere smile, "I also have a certain understanding of Britain's funeral culture, and I will definitely handle it for you so that their last journey can be dignified and meaningful.
My past business scope was mainly in the royal capital of Britannia, where many high-society people were my customers and gave me many good reviews.
Recently I want to expand my business to Europe and you will be my first customer. "
Sebastian smiled shyly.
"In the future, if you have other lovers to hold funerals for.
I can give you half price for the second set. "
Xia Ya also came over and handed Ma Lin the business card she made with a smile.
"You can also consider coming to me for wine or flowers for the funeral."
Now that the tavern is closed, we can't sit back and rest on our laurels, we always have to find some side jobs.
Sebastian looked at Char, he smiled helplessly and said, "Mr. Char, you can come to me directly. I am actually also looking for suppliers of drinks and flowers."
Xia Ya's eyes lit up, "We can cooperate on this."
"Of course, I don't have to make any profit in this regard." Sebastian smiled.
Looking at the two men who completely ignored him.
After coming back from her daze, Ma Lin felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation. She pursed her lips tightly, with anger burning in her heart.
At this time, the headless horseman on one side seemed to have discovered something, broke away from Arthur's sword, walked straight towards Char, and swung the blade towards Char from top to bottom.
"clang!"
Under Ma Lin's slightly widened eyes, with a crisp sound, the Headless Horseman's sword 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 did not give up and kept slashing at the wall.
Upon seeing this, Hoover's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light. He covered his chest, staggered over from one side, looked at Ma Lin and said bluntly.
"Give him his head, Marlene Fassi."
Ma Lin came back to her senses and looked at Hoover with a confused face, "What do you mean?"
"You hid the Headless Horseman's head and then controlled him to kill, right?" Hoover said.
“We have been investigating you these past few days and have been watching you for many days.
You are a foreigner, and you have obtained a large inheritance through fraudulent marriage.
The person 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.
You use your beauty to lure rich men into marrying you, and then send the headless horseman to kill your husbands.
Through inheritance, it is legal to obtain the property of those rich people, right?
You and Baker happened to have a tryst near the Forbidden Forest, and your newly married husband happened to appear here.
The Headless Horseman also appears at this moment and kills your husband.
There are not so many coincidences in this world.
Do you think everyone here is stupid? "
Hoover looked at Sebastian, "You must have guessed it, so I came here to test her."
"Try it out?"
After coming back to his senses, Sebastian touched the back of his head and smiled slightly awkwardly.
"That's right. It's really just for testing."
He looked at Ma Lin with sharp eyes.
"Aren't you telling the truth?"
"It is absolutely impossible for you to get the Headless Horseman's head by yourself." Hoover stared at Marin, "Tell me the situation behind you, and I can consider letting you go."
Ma Lin seemed a little anxious, "It's really not me!"
Sebastian frowned, "You still haven't said anything?"
"Maybe. Not her."
Char looked at the Headless Horseman who was still attacking the surrounding barriers with his sword blade and whispered softly.
Thick mist surrounded the surroundings, making the place even hazier.
Hoover frowned, "It's so obvious, why should I be suspicious?"
"Sebas." Char said quietly, "Have you checked the Book of the Dead? Did Wulf die today?"
Sebastian seemed to have thought of something, raised his hand, the Book of the Dead appeared in his hand, and quickly began to look up Woolf's name.
Soon, the result was written in the Book of the Dead.
[Woolf died today at the hands of Baker Hamas, cause of death: suffocation. 】
Sebastian's pupils narrowed slightly and he looked at the Headless Horseman.
"So, he did die today, right?" Xia Ya's eyes flashed with light, "Assuming that he is the "God of Death", he should indeed appear here to harvest souls."
"But." Sebastian still felt something was wrong. "This is against the rules. Even if this human being dies today, the knight should not directly kill him in public."
"Perhaps, we all saw it wrong." Xia Ya whispered softly.
"What do you mean?" Sebastian frowned.
People around were a little confused.
"Have you ever thought about another possibility? It was not the Headless Horseman who came to kill Woolf, but Woolf's death attracted the Headless Horseman."
Hoover seemed to understand something and couldn't help but said, "But we all saw it!"
The corner of Xia Ya's mouth raised an imperceptible arc.
“Seeing may not necessarily be true.”
