Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

Chapter 130 129: Premonition of 【Forgotten Garden】

At this moment, on the west side of Knowlson Village, Sean began his quiet and special life-because he wanted to play crazy and foolish.

As Gerald, he maintained his usual style, giggling when he saw people, and muttering to himself from time to time.

Gerrard's family was used to this.Most of the time, the family treats Gerald as invisible, calling him only at mealtimes, which leaves Sean plenty of free time to explore.

He first walked into the forest outside the village, came to the "Cursed River", walked through the half circle of the river bank that he hadn't had time to explore before, and finally came to a conclusion:
Knowlson Village is a village surrounded by forests, and beyond the forests is this dark "cursed river".

On the other side of the river is a vast green plain, seemingly harmless, but also inaccessible - there are no roads or bridges on this cursed river, and as soon as any object touches the black river, it will be instantly swallowed by the nearby viscous curse, Leave no trace.

After thinking about it, Sean decided to take the risk himself.He lit the torch he had secretly brought from home, stood on the river bank, leaned over and put the torch in his hand close to the black water, trying to see if he could burn them.

But before the flame touched the surface of the "river", a large black water suddenly jumped up high, rushing towards him and the torch like a beast.

Fortunately Sean was prepared.The moment the black water moved, he stepped back suddenly, turned around and ran a few steps into the forest, while looking back at the black water.

It seemed that they realized that the attack had failed, and the black water that climbed to the bank was gradually retreating, and soon returned to the "river" completely, and had no intention of chasing Sean.

Sean breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart became heavier.

Angie's description of Knowlson Village as an island yesterday was indeed apt.Now, they are all trapped on this isolated island, and Angie came here because of him, and even came in with the sword called "Elia", so Elijah will treat I have such a big hostility.

Sean had seen Angie with the sword back in Havok Cave.But he didn't expect that this sword would be assigned a role by this foreign land, and he was smart enough to skillfully play his role.

No wonder along the way, Angie would occasionally talk about this sword.But Angie never mentioned Elijah to him, was it because he didn't trust him enough?
Along the somewhat soft river bank, Sean walked on the edge of this forest, raised his head amidst the confusion of thoughts, looked at the tall trees inside the forest and the ground vegetation composed of weeds and various short shrubs, and suddenly realized something matter--

He didn't seem to have seen any animals in this forest.

Sean's expression became serious.

Due to the complex terrain of this forest, every time he came in to explore, he would maintain a high degree of vigilance throughout the process, in case any poisonous snakes and beasts would come out of the corner to attack him.

If it's just that he didn't meet the beast, then he would be considered lucky—but, he has been in the forest for three consecutive days, and stayed here for seven or eight hours in total, even when he entered the forest with Angie and the others last night. Hearing some noise, this obviously cannot be summed up by the word "lucky".

With this confusion, Sean walked cautiously in the forest, carefully investigating every hidden corner, and suddenly, there was a slight sound not far away.

Looking up, a strange woman holding a knife was standing under the tree.

Under Sean's shocked gaze, a strange smile appeared on her face, she thrust the knife into her chest, and then laughed out loud.

Crazy and deafening shrill laughter pierced through the silent forest. It was not a sound that a human could make, and Sean realized it immediately.

He clenched his teeth in pain and covered his ears with his hands. At the same time, he saw a large amount of black liquid gushing out from the "female"'s chest pierced by a knife.

Sean turned around without the slightest hesitation, and ran desperately towards the village.

Father Cesar took Leo and walked quickly on the way back to the church.

Church life is very, very busy.As the only priest in the village, his job is to maintain and manage the church, but he also needs to treat the wounded and mediate conflicts in the village, so those "jobs" will be handed over to the night watchmen he trusts when he is out.

And Leo, who was following him now, was his most trusted night watchman.

"Leo, you've been doing really well these few days," Father Cesar smiled rarely, "If my old bones can't take it any day, I'll let you take over the church?"

"Father Cesar, you are joking. With the blessing of the heavenly father, it is too early for you to retire."

Leo said with a smile, and then changed the topic: "Can I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead."

"Where did the sacred magic circle that can purify evil come from?"

Hearing this question, Cesar paused, looked at the brown-haired young man beside him, and shook his head slowly: "That is a secret technique passed down from my ancestors, and there is no written record. It's just that my family has served the Lord for generations. I have devoted my whole life to this belief, and since I was a child, I have learned knowledge about exorcism from my parents, and I have acquired these formations..."

Leo nodded respectfully, thanked him, and then stopped talking, and hurried back to the church with the old priest.

He would ask the other party this question because he was also there when Angie heard Pedra talk about the strange things that happened in the church, and he realized that the magic circle was exactly the same as the pattern in the church.

As long as it was something the master would care about, he naturally needed to make preparations in advance so that he could answer her immediately.

Angie was his most important person, and the only one who mattered to him.Although Elijah is also very concerned about his past, and knows that what the many-handed woman said is probably true, but he cares more about the present than those invisible and intangible things.

He always kept in mind Angie's kindness to him.It's just that this kind and gentle master is too easy to attract those strange things, and in Elijah's view, Angie's kindness to others will become a great hidden danger.

He will not interfere with his master's thoughts, but in private, he will act with his own will.

Today will be quite a busy day.As Leo, he needs to finish today's prayers, patrol the village, and even deal with the funeral of the Brin family.

Under Cesar's guidance, the night watchmen put the three bodies into special silver coffins yesterday, and painted a purification circle on the outside of the coffins - but today, they will completely Search Breen's house for anything suspicious and burn it.

In order to take care of Angie's emotions, Elijah didn't tell her these trivial things last night-but if there is indeed something worth noting about the Breen family, that's another matter.

On the way, Elijah kept sorting out the thoughts in his mind, and soon he and Cesar came to the edge of the village a few hundred meters away from the church.

But at this moment, a sudden bell rang in the distance.

It was the church bell that he and Cesar were so familiar with.The loud and clear bells were constantly ringing over the village, without any signs of stopping, and there was no rhythm at all, and this eager way of ringing the bell meant that something extremely serious had happened in the village, and all residents had to act immediately. Assemble to church.

They immediately turned pale, and ran quickly to the church.

-----

Before the bell rings, Susannah's house.

After a short wind, in order to avoid being discovered by her parents, Angie closed the window.

She was very sure that according to that priest's "divine healing method", Elena's condition would only continue to deteriorate.

Out of self-preservation, she can't stop this respected priest—but now, the most troublesome thing is not Cesar, but Elena who has discovered that her "sister" is not her sister.

Angie looked at Elena who was sleeping on the bed with her facial features wrinkled together.Even after exhausting her strength from the previous bout of crying, the girl couldn't get a good rest.

At this moment, the brown liquid was still stained on her body, and there was a rancid smell from the sheets and the floor, which made Angie frowned and sighed softly in disgust.

According to the phenomenon of blue flames produced by the burning of candles in the purification ceremony, these holy waters should be some kind of liquid containing "phosphorus"-this kind of substance is easy to volatilize, and if it is ignited in the air containing phosphorus, it will produce elongated blue flames. flames.

But you have to ask Elijah for the specific situation. After all, Leo, who is a member of the church, is the expert in this field.

After thinking for a while, Susannah adjusted her mood and walked out of the bedroom, just in time to meet Alma who was about to go upstairs, but did not see Jed.

"Where is Dad?"

"Your father is busy at the ranch. Just before Father Cesar left, he was still saying that the demand for beeswax will be greater than usual recently, and you need to ask your father to ensure the supply. We told him that Estherine's family also needs beeswax recently, But the priest asked your father to give priority to ensuring the number of churches, and nothing else is important..."

Alma said helplessly, and looked at Suzanne with a worried face: "Baby, are you okay? Let mom take a look-are these injuries on your body caused by Elena?"

As she said this, she walked in front of Susanna, took her hands, looked at her purple and red arms and bruised eyes, her face was full of distress.

Seeing Alma's appearance, Suzanne smiled wryly and said, "I'm fine...it's just that Elena seems to be in pain, and I can't help her with anything...By the way, Mom, Elena's clothes and sheets are all messed up. It's wet, can you change it for her?"

"No." Alma shook her head in embarrassment. "Before he left, the priest specifically asked us not to change Elena's clothes for a few days, not to let her touch the water, and not to wipe off the holy water on her body and in the room." ——Because Elena's body is weak now, she is easily harassed by evil aura."

Susanna smiled: "Well, good~ Since the priest said so, then Elena should get better in a few days, right? I'll fetch water and wash my face first~"

Seeing her daughter's smiling face, Alma also smiled reassuringly, and then heard Suzanne add another sentence:
"By the way, Mom, Elena is asleep. She seems a little tired."

"Okay, then I won't go in to see her. The priest also said to minimize the number of door openings, and you should also pay attention to closing the doors and windows."

"Good~"

Susanna agreed with a smile, then picked up the tub and ran out the door.

She was deliberately distracting Alma.During the period when her mother was not bothering Elena, she at least had to let her sister wash her body.
