Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

Chapter 133 132: [Forgotten Box Garden] Imprisoned

When Angie and the others saw Cesar, the other party had already noticed them.

However, even these experienced church personnel were shocked and dumbfounded by the terrifying pursuer behind them.

"Draw a magic circle!" Cesar reacted on the spot, and shouted loudly, "Use holy water to draw a magic circle on the ground! Alma! You guys quickly hide here!"

Without his further words, the three people who had escaped from the forest had already changed direction and headed straight for Cesar.

It's just that Angie's running speed has slowed down significantly.After running at full speed for 1 minute in the forest with complex terrain, she was already too tired to breathe, but at the same time, the weird tree behind her had pulled out all the roots buried in the ground, "running" The speed is getting faster and faster, and there are only a few meters away from her.

Seeing this situation, Sean, who was following Anji, quickly grabbed her hand and ran out with her desperately.

Immediately afterwards, Alma, who was on the other side of Angie, also grabbed her arm.

With their joint efforts, Angie was finally able to barely maintain the original speed, and within a dozen seconds, the three of them came in front of Cesar and the others.

"Quick, hide in the magic circle!" Cesar shouted anxiously, "Is everything ready?"

"Get ready!" The youths with gold cups in their hands responded one after another.

Naturally, Leo was among these people.

At this time, he was standing next to Cesar, and when Angie was about to run in front of them, he took a sudden step forward and pulled her directly into the magic circle behind him, and with Cesar and the vigil beside him The people shouted slogans in unison, and poured the holy water in their hands on the hideous ancient tree that had reached them:

"Holy Father, please grant us the power of purification!"

The moment it was splashed by the yellow-brown holy water, the ancient tree let out a mournful howl.It frantically twisted its thick torso, and its powerful branches and roots hit the weak humans in front of it together, but these attacks seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall, staying abruptly around the crowd, They can never be reached.

At the same time, the black water enveloping the tree trunk was also rapidly receding, and white smoke continued to be emitted, making a hissing sound.

Seeing the futile struggle of the strange tree, Anji was so shocked that he opened his mouth slightly, and various astonished thoughts filled his mind:

The holy water of the magic circle and the slogans of gods and gods, can it really be useful? !Could it be she herself who is ignorant? ! !

But that messy "oil-salt treatment" did make Elena's wounds worse, so it shouldn't be wrong... right?

Thinking about it, Angie became a little less confident.

In a foreign world, nothing seems impossible—this kind of treatment method, which is contrary to common sense, may be correct.

Just as she was thinking about what she thought was impossible before, that weird and creepy old tree was gradually losing its strength.

With the disappearance of the last trace of the black curse on the trunk, the tree finally became completely quiet.

The forest has returned to its former calm.Everyone looked at the motionless tree, and looked at the companions around them one after another, not knowing what to do.

Father Cesar stared at the tree for a while, seeing that it showed no signs of recovery, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to his companions behind him, and announced with a smile:
"The evil breath has been completely purified. My fellow citizens, you have worked hard!"

After the priest's announcement, cheers and applause erupted from the crowd.They all heaved a sigh of relief in unison, with deep joy on their faces, and even a few young people patted the shoulders of their companions and joked with each other.

But Angie and Sean couldn't be happier—for Alma was watching them gravely.

"Alma, what happened?" After a short period of joy, Father Cesar returned to his old serious look and asked her, "Why did you appear in this forest? The church bell has already rung, you It’s impossible not to hear—if it wasn’t for the guidance of the Supreme Holy Lamp, you would have been killed by this terrible monster!”

Seeing this situation, the surrounding crowd quickly quieted down.They looked at the three people guarded in the queue one after another, and in the sight of everyone and the solemn atmosphere, Alma was silent for a moment, and finally spoke heavily:
"...Father Cesar, there seems to be something wrong with my daughter...I'm not sure if she is possessed by a witch or is she a different person at all. Anyway, the girl in front of me is not my daughter, the girl next to her is not my daughter. Rudd has problems too."

Angie and Sean didn't speak for a while, but Leo, who was standing beside Angie, suddenly asked:
"Madam Alma, what is your basis for saying this?"

"This girl protected me with the ax in her hand when those black liquids wanted to attack me... She shot decisively and cleanly, which is definitely not something my daughter can do. Although I know it is ungrateful to say so, But I just want my daughter back - Father Cesar, please help me."

As she spoke, Alma's tone became more and more humble, and finally looked at Cesar with pleading eyes.

"Alma, although I don't think you're lying, but for the fairness of the trial, we still need to investigate this matter carefully."

Cesar said so, looking at Susanna and Gerald.The little girl was silent but calm, showing no signs of trying to defend herself; while Gerald looked at the former's face with a slightly uneasy expression, as if he was waiting for something.

Although I don't know what happened to Suzanne, Gerrard who was able to drag her to escape must have something wrong.Thinking of this, Cesar looked at Alma and spoke again:
"...It's just that we don't have extra time to start the trial. Joseph, Claude, Louis, and Ferrie, the four of you escort these two people to the dungeon, there must be no mistake!"

"Yes!"

The four youths who were named responded in unison, and stepped forward to surround Susanna and Gerrard, while Leo asked Cesar:
"Father Cesar, let me go too. Both of these two people may be possessed by a witch, and it is easy to cause accidents if only four people are sent to escort them."

"No, you stay. We still need to conduct more investigations into the source of the evil aura."

Cesar rejected Leo's proposal, then randomly ordered two people to join the escort team, looked at Alma and said:
"Alma, you go back first. We will give you an explanation about your daughter tomorrow."

Alma replied softly "Yes", and finally glanced at Susanna with a complicated expression, and then walked towards home.

Under the escort of six night watchmen, Sean and Angie embarked on this "journey to prison".

Along the way, Sean always looked at Angie from time to time, asking for her opinion with his eyes - if he tried his best to riot and create chaos, although there was only a very small possibility, Angie might be able to escape alone.

But Angie just responded to him with a calm expression, without giving any instructions.

She knew that with Sean's character, he was probably thinking about "sacrificing himself to save her" again.But with the guards holding them down from left to right, and at the same time there were still two people free, they really had no chance to escape.

After entering the village, this conspicuous escort team immediately attracted the attention of several passing villagers, including Iseline who rarely appeared during the day.

The pale-skinned girl was still wearing a large cloak, and she was shocked when she saw Suzanne being detained by the night watchman, but after some hesitation, she finally didn't choose to talk to her, and just silently watched her friend leave back view.

Soon, the group came to the cell underground of the church.The guards put Angie and Sean in the opposite ends of the cell, and then left.

After that, Angie tried to say something to Sean, but before they could say a few words to each other, they were stopped by the cell guard:

"You want to chat after you're locked in? If you keep arguing, we're going to be punished!"

In desperation, Anji could only sigh slightly, and stood silently to sort out his thoughts.

This prison cell is gloomy and cold, not only without any lighting, but also rich in ecology.Not long after coming here, Angie has heard the squeak of mice several times, and there are at least five or six types of insects and ants running around.

It's just that to Angie, who has seen too many bizarre creatures, these normal little creatures are simply cute.But even so, she tries to stand up as much as possible to reduce the time she spends in close contact with arthropods.

There is a standard configuration like a movie scene.Except for the straw paved in the innermost corner, there is nothing here, only the dark stone walls around, and the impregnable iron fence in front of it.

Looking at her new single room, Anji couldn't help but smile wryly.

This was her first time in prison, and it was quite novel after thinking about it.

It was still morning, and according to Cesar, they would be brought to trial tomorrow—that is to say, they would need to stay in this dark and cold cell for nearly a day.Although it is inevitable that there will be some suffering, but in the hot summer, this place can be called a good place to escape the heat.

Thinking of this, Angie felt a little better.

In fact, she always felt a little sorry for Sean.She knew that she could join forces with Sean and beat Alma upside down, saying that Alma was the one who was possessed by the witch, but she still didn't try to do so.

One is that the scene of Sean running with her has been seen by those people in the church, so it is difficult to justify it.

The second is because the memories belonging to Suzanne are almost disappearing.If she opened her mouth to make an excuse, Cesar would definitely ask her questions. Rather than being exposed on the spot, it would be better to just keep silent.

And the last reason is that Alma did have a valid reason for her actions.

For a mother, nothing is more important than a daughter.In the eyes of these aborigines, Angie is indeed a suspicious person.

Thinking of this, Angie sighed silently.

Although she was a little tired, she was not very worried.After all, Elijah's identity has not been revealed yet, and he, who is trusted by the priest, has a high probability of getting the cell key to rescue them.

In the worst case, the three of them would flee together, and live a life of fear and anxiety in this small foreign land from now on...

Angie couldn't help shaking her head, trying to shake the images of the "wandering trio" out of her head, but at this moment, there were two crisp sounds of the iron fence being tapped lightly from the next door, followed by a burst of immature And the light voice:

"Hi~ New neighbor, hello! Can you chat with me?"
