Chapter 371 Shia Palenque Eggers
The Eggers family has given up.
Counting the days, it's absolutely impossible for the Death God's power of the raging sea to last another thousand years.
Even 500 years would be a long shot.
The path of death allows one to live longer. Rather than being treated with dignity later, it's better to prepare for dignity yourself. If you can surrender, then surrender; if you can't, then hide—hide in the underworld, hide at sea.
Anyway, starting from Death Path Sequence 5, you can use the underworld and perform some special rituals. Sleeping in an underground tomb for ten years is not a problem. The only hope for the future is to find a way to survive and hide. Rather than suffer later, it's better to enjoy it first.
The Grim Reaper family does not share this consensus, but with instability from top to bottom, death becomes easy to spread, life becomes cheap, and the overall atmosphere begins to repeat what every last dynasty inevitably goes through.
The Death Path is not without desires; even the Death Archon Azik, the son of Death in Sequence 2, is quite loving.
Chael was also a girl who "picked up a mistake". She was the product of a decadent affair by a branch of the Byron royal family. Unlike the nobles of a certain dynasty, the Byron Empire did not play the lowly game of being tied up in the basement, then having their clothes undone and their chests pierced with red-hot silver needles.
They have a deeper understanding of death. It is precisely because they understand death that they respect it more. This makes them more pragmatic, rather than allowing desires to become distorted or to test taboos. Therefore, the girl's mother's actions were very direct, conforming to a primitive and violent aesthetic of death.
When Xiaer found her, she was hiding in a corner, her small body curled up, her eyes filled with suppressed hatred and indifference. She hated the Bailang royal family, but she showed no sympathy for the others who died in this atmosphere.
She is equally ruthless, which is why she has survived to this day and gained Chael's favor.
"She is a very good child. She has not betrayed her class. She can coldly watch the disaster unfold before her eyes. She still has her own hatred, but this shows that she has her own thoughts. She is truly a very good child."
"What's your name?"
Xia Er picked up the little girl with some affection and gently stroked her slightly cold skin.
It seems to have inherited some extraordinary traits; its skin has the starting point of the Grim Reaper pathway and the characteristics of a Sequence 9 Corpse Collector. Indeed, if it weren't for this reason, how could it have been fortunate enough to survive?
After mating, the genetic traits passed on to offspring are often beyond their control.
But perhaps it's to prevent some parents from being stingy.
"Sia Eggers".
Looking at Xia Er who had picked her up, even though it was only their first meeting, Xia knew that this was a man who could bring her death.
"No, you should say, Shia Palenque Eggers."
"Don't forget your mother's surname. Although it may seem ordinary now, it will accompany you and become a symbol of nobility as you grow up."
"Or, would you like it to become prestigious right now?"
Xia'er beckoned with her finger, and warm orbs of light floated out from the others in the hall and landed on Xia'er. Her skin was still a little cold, but it became smooth and responsive, and her eyes became even darker and brighter, like shining gems.
"This is a gift for our first meeting, the life force that Chael stole and gave to the little girl."
"The teacher will steal anything that belongs to someone else and give it to you."
"Your teacher loves you, and that love will remain unchanged until the most vibrant melody of your life has been sung."
Under Sia's somewhat dazed gaze, Xia'er said some rather strange things.
But it was indeed real; it was a favor filled with expectation, a hope that she would become the Pale Empress who would one day wipe out the direct descendants of the Aegis family and subdue the entire Byron royal family.
"I see."
However, Sia clearly misunderstood something. She showed a rare look of surprise, after all, she was still so young. But she still gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement. After all, this was someone who was not afraid of "Aegis". And after thinking it through, she put her hand on the palm of Xia'er's hand that was holding her: "Teacher".
At that time, the young Sia was completely unaware of her misunderstanding, and many years later, she regretted not taking advantage of the time they spent together to have sex with the teacher.
"Good boy, your teacher really wants to see your cool side."
Shael smiled with satisfaction. He handed Sia a dagger that wasn't fancy but was definitely effective, then pointed to the bound man who, according to the Aegis family's definition, was a sacrifice. "Go, end his life."
He carefully placed the girl on the ground, and Sia stepped forward decisively, wielding her knife. Red blood flowed out, and the girl didn't waste any. Following the so-called noble interests and family traditions, she completed a simple sacrificial ceremony before facing Shael. She wiped the blood off the blade with her skirt, picked it up with both hands, and handed it back to Shael.
"This is for you."
Instead of taking it, Xia Er beckoned with her finger, and the stain on the girl's skirt came off and was tossed aside.
"He's dead, what do you think?"
Chael asked his student how he would get along with Bernadette in the future, but he thought it would be different from Sia's; she was truly a good girl.
"Dead is dead."
Xia didn't understand why the teacher asked that question, but she still answered and sheathed the dagger, hiding it under her white skirt. She had long been accustomed to death in this environment; death was death, and there was no "afterwards".
"It's pretty simple, and actually quite good, but as your teacher, I have to teach you something, otherwise I might as well just feed you ice cream."
Ignoring Sia's hidden look, which seemed to be one of disbelief, Xia'er looked at the lifeless, gradually cooling corpse before her and said, "The meaning of life lies in need."
"He needed it himself, even though we ignored it."
"Your father needed it, so he was tied up here as a sacrifice."
"I needed a teaching material, so he died prematurely, at your hands."
"You don't care, you have no need for him, so his death is his death."
Shael crouched down, patted Sia's head, and asked with a smile, "Do you understand now?"
"What do you need me to do?"
Xia understood and went straight to the point, asking the question directly.
"I need you..."
After thinking for a moment, Xia Er said tentatively, "Help me get the treasure of the Eggers family."
