Chapter 2356 The witch, Maris

After hearing the news from his assistant, Edwards was a little excited.

Maris, a mysterious and ancient Gypsy Witch. No one knew her name, and everyone called her Maris.

Edwards had also obtained Maris’s contact information by chance, but he had never contacted this magical wizard.

There were many legends about Maris, and even the earliest legend was during World War II. The coalition forces were facing a counterattack from Arden. The weather was bad, and the air advantage could not be used. Several generals in the command center were at their wits ‘end.

At that time, there was a staff officer who was said to have an ambiguous relationship with the young Maris, and he spoke of his distress. With the help of love, Maris used her crystal ball to see the future, just like what was written in the book later, there was almost no deviation.

Of course, Mr. Edwards believed that this was just a rumor. Everyone liked to hear about these mysterious things, including many scientists.

Edwards originally had no interest in this.

However, under the arrangement of fate, knowing that the hard work of the second half of his life would be abandoned along with the loss of the Nobel Prize, everything was like a bubble that burst with a single poke. It shattered without leaving a trace.

His heart was broken.

At this time, he chose to believe in Maris. Mr. Edwards was willing to pay any price.

It was said that every time Maris and the other Wizards used the crystal ball to see the future, they would pay with their lives.

Nothing could buy life, so Mr. Edwards wasn’t sure if the mysterious Maris could help him.

The video was connected to an ancient castle in the background. The crystal ball in front of him flickered with a crystalline luster, and Mr. Edwards felt like he had fallen into it with just a glance.

Behind the crystal ball was a man wearing a black robe and a hood that covered his head and face. There was no way one could tell her gender from her appearance.

“You’re looking for me?” A gloomy voice came from behind the robe, and Mr. Edwards couldn’t help but shiver.

After hearing Maris’s words, Edwards felt like his vitality had been sucked away by the crystal ball that was flowing with brilliance.

She spoke English, which was not fluent. Mr. Edwards could barely understand her.

As much as he could to maintain a smile, Edwards stood up with the help of his walking stick and bowed.”Dear Ms. Maris, please forgive me for my interruption.”

“Time is used to wander, my child.” Maris’s voice was heard. At the same time, the crystal ball emitted a weak but inextinguishable light.

Edwards felt as if his heart had been stabbed by the light, and his heart seemed to become more serious.

“State your humble request.” The mysterious man in Black said indifferently.

“I want to know if I can win the Nobel Prize this year.” Edwards asked in a trembling voice.

Next, MA ‘am Maris should tell me what to pay so that she can see the future not far in the future, Edwards thought.

The time wasn’t far, only a little more than two months. Hopefully, the price would be smaller. After the anger, he began to calm down.

Even if he knew the future, what could he do?

Change? What could he change when facing Lord Kerry of the Bruch family?

If the price was high, he would refuse. Looking at the black robe and the mysterious and ancient crystal ball, Edwards didn’t want to continue dealing with her.

He was already in his twilight years, wasn’t it good to live a little longer? Edwards was even worried that MA ‘am Maris would use her life to complete a mysterious and strange ritual, using the crystal ball in front of her to see an unchangeable future.

“Child, you must be praised for your good luck. Someone has already asked me to take a look at this matter, and I know the answer now. ” Maris’s gloomy voice was heard.

Edwards was startled. Someone had seen it first? There were so many people who were concerned about this.

“You’re a lucky child. You don’t have to pay with your life.”

Edwards was overjoyed as he immediately asked,””What’s the price? Money? How much is it?”

The crystal ball on the other side of the screen flickered with light, and as the demonic light flickered, Edwards seemed to realize something.

“I’ll immediately transfer the money to you. ” With that said, Edwards waved his hand and called his assistant over.

There was an additional email in his mailbox. It was a bank account number.

Anything that can be solved with money is a small matter, Edwards thought.

“Child, I can tell you the answer first.” “My flame of life has become weak after the most recent divination,” said Ma ‘am Maris.”I need time to rest.”

“You won’t get the Nobel Prize you want this year.”

After that, the signal on the screen was cut off. The flickering light from the crystal ball became the last trace of light and shadow, remaining in Edwards’s retinas.

It was as if the sun had burned out its last trace of energy and was annihilated in the vast universe.

Edwards was in a trance. Was it really impossible? He sat down dejectedly and powerlessly, and his walking stick hit the ground with a “pa” sound.

......

......

“Maris, you’re deceiving those pitiful little fellows again.” Christian said with a smile as he sat elegantly on the side and watched the light in the crystal ball disappear.

“Lord Kerry, we are a Vagabond. We don’t have a fixed residence. In order to ensure our livelihood, to ensure the survival of our clansmen, we need money. “

Maris said as she placed her hand on the crystal ball. There was no fat on her hands at all, especially when she moved her hands. The movement of her muscles and the color of her bones could be vaguely seen.

“Damn it, take your hand off the crystal ball.” Although Christian had cursed, his expression was still so elegant. He even raised his glass, and the bright red liquid in the glass rippled slightly.

“Master Kerry, is what you said true?” Maris asked in a hoarse voice.

“Of course. I still remember how you danced by the bonfire many years ago before you became a witch.” “And I’ve told you a secret that can’t be considered a secret,” Christian said with a smile.”You’ll be able to earn a small amount of money again.”

“You still remember how I looked like when I was 5 years old? I’ve forgotten.”

“You know that the Bruch family’s memory is very good.” “Can you take off your black cloth?” Christian asked. Looking at this piece of black cloth, I feel uncomfortable all over. I keep feeling that you will disappear at any moment. “

“As you wish,”

A pair of skeletal hands reached out and grabbed the two sides of the wide black hood, then took it off.

A skeleton appeared in front of Christian.

It was like the bone specimens in medical schools, but there were differences. Between her breaths, her muscles could be vaguely seen. However, her muscles were too weak, so it looked as if she didn’t have any.
