Chapter 163 The house was pitch dark , with no lights on inside .
But Odalys knew that Brandon and his son were both in the house , watching her .
Odalys stepped inside , her boots echoing slightly on the empty yard .
The air smelled faintly of something unustual , a fragrant scent wafting in from inside .
As she pushed open the door , the lights in the living room suddenly flickered on .
Youre here ! Brandons aged voice called out , breaking the silence .
He was dressed in a black vintage suit , his pale hair slightly disheveled .
His bony face revealed no emotion , but his sharp eyes were fixed on her , piercing as ever .
It looks like hes over the fever , able to sit up now .
The poison in his body has been temporarily suppressed , Odalys said , turning her head to glance at the middle aged man Keylor beside Brandon , giving him a slight nod Keylor looked pale , dressed in an oversized T shirt that only highlighted his frailty .
Did you save me ? Keylor coughed softly , bowing his head gratitude .
Odalys stood calmly , her hands clasped behind her , raising an eyebrow .
She let out a low chuckle .
It seems like you have some questions for me ** If youve got something to ask , just ask .
I dont like to beat around the bush , she added , her voice clear and confident She had come with a purpose .
If it hadnt been for that scent , she wouldnt have had her eye on this place .
Brandon took a slow drag from his cigarette , exhaling a cloud of smoke after a pause .
He studied her thoughtfully through the haze as if trying to ace through her Tolus surprise , Odalys stood there unfazed , and he couldnt read her mind .
He began From ilar production team to that night in the v you brought proper into my house village , you stood outside my house for two minutes .
Then , pretending to be on a walk , Youve had your eye on the front the tart 1 Last night , you came to save my son .
What is it you want ? Brandons voice was old but still str Odalys narrowed her eyes , meeting i beraud offering it to him this gaze without al hint of unease .
Help me check something .
she said sofily , pulling out out a stick from behind 6:39 PM Chapter 163 Brandon looked at her , confused , before taking the stick from her hand .
As he held it , he noticed dried blood on the surface , with a faint metallic smell lingering This stick has a peculiar scent , almost like the one in the air here .
Is this y yours ! Odalys asked , her voice low and deliberate The stick had been used to stals into the body of a giant squake .
After pulling it out , she had kept it .
Now , the scent it carried seemed to match the one wafting through the house .
Brandon shook his head slowly .
He ran his fingers over the stick , tapping is lightly before speaking .
This stick may look ordinary , but its been soaked in a special solution for several year The scent and the stick have merged together , he added , handing it back to her .
She turned her head toward the lit scented candles nearby , her voice soft but serious .
But this scent i coming from the candles youre burning TM is the same as the as the one Its different .
Our scented candles are freshly made , while the scent on your stick has been aged for years .
It may smell the sam different Keylor suddenly spoke up , his voice weak but clear .
Odalyss curiosity deepened but the effect is Freshly made scented candles mask other odors in the room , but aged ones , after years of accumulation , can be both a scent and a poison .
Odalyss eyes widened in understanding So this stuck , which seems to be covered in scented candle residue , is actually poisonous ? she asked , her voice a bit sharper .
Keylor nodded slightly .
After steaking for years , the wood has turned Lilack Thats stratige Odalys said , even more jazzled now Someone had taken a poison sick and used it to stab a snake , but clearly , the glant python would have been of far more r value .
Theres nothing strange about it .
This poilus a unique effect .
Over time , it can control the human mind .
Brandon suckdenly added .
Voucher Chapter 163 Odalyss fingers tightened slightly .
The answer felt like it was almost within her grasp , but she couldnt quite catch it .
An unusual sensation began to spread in her chest , an unsettling feeling that gnawed at her .
But the stick was taken from a snake , Odalys finally admitted .
When Brandon heard her mention a snake , the cup he had been holding slipped from his hands with a clatter , crashing to the ground .
Water splashed on his clothes , and his hands trembled as he stared at her .
Was it the snake from the forest at the edge of the village ? Brandons voice was shaky , almost fearful , Odalys nodded , recounting everything that had happened earlier that day .
She kept her gaze fixed on them , noting every detail of their expressions , taking it all in .
Was there something wrong with the snakes injury ? Odalys suppressed the rising confusion within her , her voice soft as she asked Brandon fell silent for a long time , his gaze distant , as though lost in thought .
Odalys remained patient , not interrupting him .
When he finally snapped out of it , it seemed as though he had aged a decade .
gant python is poisonous , but the older they get , the more intelligent they become .
Its difficult to control them .
Some people , in order to control these adult giant pythons , target their offspring instead .
giant python and make it you said is true , then its possible that the stick was driven into that snake to control it , to use it to subdue the gia subunit , Brandon continued .
Odalys was completely bewildered by this .
Why would they want to control a giant python ? she asked in a low voice Brandon let out a quiet Laugh , though it was laced with anger.
The giant python has venon in its body , and the fluids it secretes can be used to make all sortsed different poin Wide murder is a comer , if the giant the toes the killing , swallowing a person whole leaves no trace , no evidence .
The giant python is more loyal than any human , making is dar perfect amassing The one in the forest near caur village may be alot to ascend to a lugler form .
It has become sentient .
It doesnt attack humans , but it wont let anyone near its lair either .
I never imagined someone would harm its offspring , Brandon said , his eyes burning with barely contained rage .
RAL Chapter 16 He slammed his hand down hard on ard on the table table , the sound echoing through the room .
*** So these scented candles , are they unique to your house , or does everyone in your village have them ? Odalys asked , ber confusion deepening .
But after entering the village , she hadnt noticed this scent anywhere else , only in Brandons house .
Our village has a long history of making scented candles .
They can be used as fragrance or as poison , and my family has a tradition of weaving fabric .
We use the scent in the cloth we make .
The fabric we produce absorbs the scented candles , and it can stay fragrant for a long time without the need for perfume , Brandon explained .
Odalyss mind wandered briefly to the piece of clothing she had seen at the Stewart Villa , the one in the pond .
That garment had been made from the clothing of the dead .
It not only carried the scent of the scented candles , but also the lingering energy of the deceased .
Is your family the only one in the entire village that makes clothing ! Odalys asked in a low , measured tone .
Keylor , who had been silent until now , hurried to answer .
Of course , Our fabrics were famous all over the world .
Back in Crownridge , we were well known and respected .
