Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

The strong rancid smell coming from nowhere aroused Angie's vigilance.

This weird smell can remind people of many bad things, such as rotting meat that has been piled up for several days in midsummer, or a smelly ditch surrounded by countless flies and maggots.

But for Angie, who was lucky enough to witness the "oil-salt therapy", the first thing she thought of was the "smell of holy water" - those yellow-brown liquids also had this rancid smell.

After Angie stopped, Sean, Elijah, and Charles also stopped instantly, and asked her, "What's wrong?"

"Something's not right."

Angie whispered, looking around vigilantly.

During their conversation, the surrounding white mist has been gradually fading.Now, she can even vaguely see the deep night sky above her head, and apart from these white mist, nothing seems to have changed.

The mutated villagers and monsters were still hitting the magic circle, making dull impact sounds while roaring, and more monsters were blocked by them, unable to approach the magic circle at all.

Could these smells come from these monsters?
"It stinks...like the smell of rotting flesh and grease..."

Charles muttered softly while frowning and sniffing lightly. At the same time, Elijah said decisively to Angie: "It's the smell of holy water. You can't stay here anymore, you have to retreat!"

Anji hummed, and ran to the wooden house with everyone without hesitation.

But in the next second, they stopped at the same time, looking at the petite figure who came out from the side of the wooden house in astonishment——

It was someone Angie was familiar with, but not too familiar with: Elena.

At this moment, the little brown-haired girl was limping out of the cabin.There was still a black and pus wound on her knee, holding a slender candle in her hand, looking at the roaring monsters outside the magic circle with trepidation, looking extremely frightened.

The girl who appeared suddenly probably came in from the "monster army" outside the magic circle.But apart from the wound on her knee, she didn't seem to have any other trauma.

The rancid smell wafting in the air gradually became stronger.Looking at this brown-haired girl who resembles Angie nine points, Charles asked in disbelief:

"This... Angie, is she your sister?"

Angie didn't answer for a moment, but Charles' voice made Elena notice the group of people immediately.

Immediately afterwards, her eyes fell on Anji, and her eyes lit up:
"Ah, sister~!"

She let out a happy cry, and then trotted over with her legs dragging, her expression becoming extremely aggrieved: "Where have you been before? What's going on in the village—"

"Don't come over!" Angie suddenly interrupted Elena with a vibrating voice.

Elena stopped in her tracks for an instant.She looked at Angie with a guarded face in disbelief, but the latter shouted again without any hesitation: "Elia, Sean, prepare to fight!"

Without her ordering, Elijah, Sean, and Charles had each raised their weapons—this girl who walked out of the monster pile unscathed could not be an ordinary person.

But they didn't know that Anji, who seemed determined, had thousands of thoughts flashing through her heart repeatedly:

That couldn't be Elena.Even if the clothes and wounds on her body are exactly the same as her own, and she still holds a beeswax candle that can illuminate the mist, it is impossible for a lame little girl to survive in the monster-filled Norson Village.

The hostility of Angie and the crowd seems to scare Elena.

She stared blankly at Angie and the three people who raised their weapons at her, then looked back, and found that there was nothing else behind her, so she was sure that their hostility was aimed at her, and murmured Voice:
"...Sister? Has something happened?"

Elena asked hesitantly, then took a step forward hesitantly, her expression becoming more and more aggrieved: "Well... can I call your sister? You said, I can call your sister..."

These words brought Anji back to his senses—she had indeed said something similar to Elena, and this girl did have Elena's memories.

At this moment, Lauren and Andrea had tiptoed to the door of the wooden house.

They knew clearly that this "girl who appeared suddenly and was unharmed" could never be a human being, so they each raised their axes and quietly approached Elena whose back was facing them.

Behind Lauren and Andrea, Etherine was looking at the scene in front of her in shock.She didn't dare to act rashly, so she could only look anxiously at Anji for help—because she didn't know what was going on with this "Suddenly Appearing Elena".

Angie regained her composure in an instant.

"Elena."

She called out the other person's name and calmly stared at the bewildered girl: "You need to prove your identity."

"Prove...identity?" Elena repeated the word with difficulty, "What does this mean—"

"literal meaning."

Angie spoke without any emotion, and Lauren and Andrea had already come behind Elena.

Although they had decided that something was wrong with this girl, they didn't act rashly, they just quietly stood behind Elena holding their weapons.

Angie glanced at the two people calmly, and then said to Charles, "Charles, throw the knife to her."

"Huh?" Charles was taken aback for a moment.

But after seeing Anji's expressionless and serious face, he still chose to trust the other party, and while saying yes, he threw the knife at Elena's feet: "Little sister, this is for you."

Elena's expression became even more confused.

She looked up and down at the boy who was younger than her, and then heard Angie's voice again:

"Use this knife to cut your skin, it doesn't need to be deep - you just need to prove that your body is still bleeding."

At this moment, not only Elena was stunned, but even Iselin couldn't help shouting:
"That's just a story! It's not necessarily black water flowing from those monsters' bodies!"

Estherine's voice immediately made Elena realize that there was someone behind her.She turned her head in horror, and immediately saw Lauren and Andrea holding the axe. She was so frightened that she screamed "Ah—" and jumped a little to the side.

Seeing this situation, Lauren looked directly at Iselin, and scolded her angrily:

"What are you talking about? Black water flows from the bodies of these monsters?!"

"But, but isn't that chicken bleeding blood?"

Estherine spoke quickly, then hurriedly looked at Angie and said, "You don't take my story seriously, do you? It's just a story—"

"Elena, prove yourself."

Angie spoke calmly.

She ignored the dispute between Iselin and Lauren, and didn't explain to Iseline, she just stared at Elena quietly: "Just a light stroke, if you have no problem, we won't Hands on you."

"Master!" Elijah became anxious when he heard that, "How could she be fine! How could a little girl who can't walk easily survive until now—"

"I know, shut up!"

Angie's voice raised a notch.Her expression didn't change, but her tone was extremely cold, which made Elijah stay silent on the spot and didn't say any more.

But upon hearing Elijah's words, Elena suddenly reacted, looked at her knees, and said to herself blankly:
"Strange...how did I get here?"

Then, Elena raised her head, her gaze kept scanning the surrounding people.

Unknown young people and little boys, the clergy of the church, the Weldian family...these people all looked at her with suspicion and hostility in their eyes.

But Anji's expression was unusually calm, she watched herself silently, as if she was waiting for something, and these people seemed to really listen to her, and no one acted rashly.

Elena finally made up her mind.

She bent down to pick up the knife at her feet, looked at Anji, and said in a trembling voice, "Just...just a light stroke, right?"

"Try first." Angie answered her calmly.

After deleting and modifying many times, I feel that my ability to deal with multiplayer scenes has improved a lot.

Too much brainstorming...

I have a picture in my head, but trying to get a better representation of that picture is another matter.

I wanted to write as clearly as possible, not too messy, but also detailed and appropriate, so it took a lot of time to revise and revise, it was almost like rewriting it...

I changed the article on the subway today, so I accidentally set a new record:
Accidentally oversit by two stops! !

Before, I realized it after just one stop, maybe this time I am more involved in the change?
In short, it will not cost extra money to sit back in the station, so it is not a big problem.
