Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

Now, it is a slightly hot summer morning.

In the bedroom with the wooden windows closed, a few faint lights shone through the gaps between the wooden boards into this small room at the end of the corridor on the second floor.

After tossing last night, Anji rarely slept soundly.Feeling that someone was shaking her body, she gradually entered a half-dream and half-awake state, and then heard her sister's crying voice:
"Sister, my leg hurts..."

Susanna woke up immediately, opened her eyes suddenly, sat up quickly, and looked at Elena's knees.Several loops of bandages there had been soaked in brownish-yellow liquid, and it was unknown what the wound had become.

Susanna quickly comforted her sister with a soft voice, and then ran out of the room to seek help from her parents - with the lessons learned by Brin, she could not treat Elena's wound without authorization.

At this moment, Alma was already sitting downstairs.She heard Susanna calling her in the corridor on the second floor, saying that Elena's wound seemed to have deteriorated, so she hurried upstairs to check.

With those bandages, she couldn't be sure of Elena's situation at the moment, so she could only comfort the two sisters first, and then left the house in a hurry, saying that she was going to the church to ask Father Cesar for help, so that Susanna Take good care of my sister at home.

Obviously, Jed is not at home today, he should be busy on the farm.

So Suzanne went downstairs to get some food, took it to the bedroom, and sat on the edge of the bed to comfort her sister softly while feeding her breakfast.

Under the consolation of her sister, Elena ate some bread aggrievedly, but before taking a few mouthfuls, she stuffed them back to her sister, saying that her knee hurt and she couldn't eat any more.

Susanna could only look worriedly at the listless little girl in front of her, and sigh silently in her heart.

She really didn't understand, why did a small knee scrape become like this?

Brin's method of cleaning the wound at that time must have been right. Although Elena's injury looked serious, it was just a scrape, and it should have scabbed the next day.Today is the third day since she was injured, how could she still be bleeding to the point of soaking several layers of bandages?

Susanna was consoling her sister while thinking about things. After about half an hour, she heard a few complicated footsteps running into the house.

Cesar's voice came from downstairs: "Where are the wounded?"

"Here!" Suzanne responded loudly, ran to the corridor, and looked down.

Alma didn't come back.Only Cesar and Leo, Elijah, were in the hall, and the latter had a gray linen satchel on his shoulder,

"Your mother has already told us about the matter. She ran to the church and needed a rest, so we came here first."

Cesar said so, and took Leo upstairs together, into their bedroom, and then asked Leo to unwrap Elena.

As soon as she heard that the bandage was about to be removed again, Elena immediately resisted.

She moved her body carefully and tried to climb out of bed, but Suzanne immediately pushed her to the edge of the bed, and then she heard the other party say:
"Elena, sit down obediently. Didn't you say that your knee hurts? As long as Father Cesar and the others help you treat it, your injury will recover soon."

Although she was comforting her sister, Anji naturally said this on purpose in front of the priest—this was to eliminate the negative impression she had left on him before, and at the same time prove to him that she was a good citizen.

However, Elena's reaction was extremely intense, she struggled and shouted loudly:

"I don't want it! It hurts to take off the bandage! I'm going to find Mom and Dad!"

Suzanne could only hug her struggling sister forcibly and persuade her as gently as possible, but at this moment, Father Cesar also came to help, holding the girl's dangling legs, and then asked Leo to do it quickly.

Amidst the girl's cries, Leo skillfully opened the satchel.He first spilled the brownish-yellow liquid in the cup on the ground near Elena, then took out the scissors and cut the cloth near the wound, and gently poured the liquid onto the sackcloth that had been dyed yellowish-brown.

These steps were the same as yesterday when he was treating the wound in the church, and Elena also cried out in pain.

She couldn't help but hit her sister a few times and cried to let her go, but Suzanne didn't let go, but gently touched her head to let her be patient.

This time, Elena was no longer willful.She suddenly became quiet, and while crying, she rubbed her face against her sister's neck, as if trying to endure the pain.

Suzanne couldn't help sighing slightly, just hugging her like this, watching Leo tear the sackcloth little by little.

Soon, Elena's injured knee was exposed before their eyes again.

The wound has become worse than yesterday.Now, the girl's entire knee was obviously swollen, and the skin around the wound was reddened, with faint signs of ulceration, while the central area was completely blackened, as if necrotic, and brown pus continued to ooze out.

Susanna's eyes changed slightly.What was Breen's death yesterday if wounds treated by the Church could still fester?
The familiar feeling of anger welled up in her heart again, but Susanna did not show these emotions on her face, but looked at Cesar worriedly, and asked:
"Father Cesar, how is my sister's injury? How long will it take her to recover?"

"Her wound is polluted by evil breath, and holy water alone cannot completely purify it—we need to perform a purification ceremony for her, please cooperate."

Cesar's tone was softer than usual.

He is very satisfied with the good performance of the two sisters today.Although things have become a bit troublesome, for him who is experienced, this problem is not a big deal.

Then, Cesar asked Elena to lie on her back in the middle of the bed without moving, and then asked Leo to prepare for the purification ceremony.

Leo closed the door and window first, then picked up the cup of brownish-yellow liquid that was still half full, and stood on the bed.

He tilted the cup slightly, poured the strange liquid on the bed, and drew a huge and regular circle around Elena, and then drew a five-pointed star in the circle in this way.

At this time, some liquid had inevitably poured on Elena's body.But under the serious atmosphere around and the gaze of the priest and sister, the girl finally chose to lie on the bed obediently without moving.

After drawing the pentagram, Leo cast a small cross in the middle of the pattern, that is, on Elena's abdomen.

So far, the preparations for the purification ceremony have been successfully completed.

But Angie couldn't calm down—because the pattern of the purification ceremony was exactly the strange pattern that appeared in the small room in the church in a foreign land that she had heard Pedra said back then.

And after they used those brown-yellow liquids in large quantities, Angie was finally able to confirm that the strange smell that appeared in the air just now was produced by these liquids.

It carried an extremely strong and weird rancid smell, and it was in a room with closed doors and windows, which made Angie dizzy.

However, at this moment, Cesar suddenly looked at Susanna and said seriously:
"Under the magic circle drawn by the holy water, the evil breath is escaping from the girl's body-these stench are the best proof. Next, I will start the purification ceremony."

Susanna nodded obediently, but rolled her eyes inwardly.She became more and more suspicious that the priest was playing tricks - obviously the holy water he used smelled too strong, could it be related to the evil breath?
But it was strange to say that in that golden cup, these strange waters did not exude such a strong breath.This made Angie take a few more glances at the golden cup that Leo put on the open space beside him, and then he and Leo met their eyes, seeing the latter blinking at her again and again, with a feeling of winking.

Angie felt helpless for a moment, thinking that even if Xiemenjian turned into a human, his nature would still be hard to change, then he turned his gaze back to Cesar.

Cesar, with his back to them, couldn't see her interaction with Leo.At this moment, the old priest had already taken out a thick black book with gilt corners from his arms, opened it, looked up, and said solemnly and solemnly:
"Holy and loving God, I am your faithful believer Cesar Morin. I implore your help and hope that this poor girl can overcome the evil breath that took advantage of her and recover soon-please Give me the right to purify, to purify the evil that invades the world!"

This string of nagging lines made Angie want to curl her lips, but in Elena's uneasy eyes, she could only show a comforting smile to her sister.

After reading the lines, the priest stopped looking up at the sky and looked at Leo.

Leo nodded silently, and took out the candle in the satchel.This kind of candle is lighter in color and thinner than the candles in Suzanne's house, and after taking out five candles, Leo put them in each corner of the five-pointed star pattern drawn with holy water, and then took out his bag Flint and steel, ready to light the fire and light the candles.

The flint rubbed against the white fluff, and a blue flame was produced.At this moment, Anji's face froze slightly, and then immediately returned to normal.

She watched Leo light the candles one by one in a clockwise direction. After that, the priest picked up the golden cup with some liquid left, held the cup in one hand, and held the black gilt book in the other, and began to walk back and forth by the bed.

His expression was still so serious, and he was chanting all kinds of names that Angie had never heard before, and when he said a certain old name, those slender blue flames suddenly began to shake slightly.

Cesar's face changed suddenly, and while pouring all the remaining liquid in the golden cup at Elena, he shouted loudly:

"Lord, please help me to purify the evil!"

Elena was splashed with water, she couldn't help shrinking her head, and looked at Susanna nervously and aggrieved.

Susanna just smiled back silently, watching the other person's expression gradually soften, but thinking in her heart that this bed can't be taken anymore, she has to wash the sheets and her sister today no matter what.

By the way, the floor has to be mopped again.
