Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

Chapter 159 158: [Forgotten Garden] Hope and Waiting

The pleasantries of the reunion ended so hastily.

Although Elijah and Sean were very concerned about Angie's injury, Angie just shook his head and interrupted their inquiry, and then began to share information with everyone.

After hearing about Elijah and Sean's experience, their expressions gradually became serious.

Angie believes that the information engraved on the stone gate that Elijah saw is likely to be true-because Cesar also mentioned the word "Day of the Witch" in front of them.

Originally, she thought that the decision to "trust Lauren and adopt their plan" was a bit hasty, but now it seems that this decision is extremely correct-because they have no time to hesitate and doubt.

"The Day of the Witch and the Night of the Witch are probably two different things. In other words, there is a high chance that tomorrow will be the Day of Destruction."

She said so, and briefly summed up a few key points: "Lauren and the others are most likely cheated, and there is no point in pursuing this. Tonight is already halfway through, and we are short on time, we must leave here as soon as possible .The one next to Cesar is probably the legendary witch. That thing can't be confronted head-on. It only took us a short time to control us... Cesar didn't kill us but I don't know what is the reason for cutting off our hands?"

The atmosphere became more and more heavy.When Angie said the last sentence, Elijah and Sean's expressions sank, silently looking at Angie's bloody broken arm.

Apparently Angie went through some inhuman torture after being caught by Cesar.But she didn't say anything about it, but calmly extracted the key information and shared it with them, which made Elijah and Sean feel more self-blame and angry at Cesar's behavior.

After thinking about it, Elijah suppressed these complicated emotions to the bottom of his heart for the time being, and asked what he thought was the most critical question:
"...I still have some candles here, which should be enough. What is missing now is blood?"

As he said so, he looked at Etherine and Angie.

Estherine was a little embarrassed: "We were arrested before we entered the farm, and we escaped with great difficulty, and we didn't have a chance to collect blood..."

"I did think about saving the blood from my arm," Angie said calmly, "but everything on us, including the blood bottle, was also taken away by Cesar, so this matter It was put on hold."

Estherine glanced at Angie with an indescribable expression, and then muttered in a low voice: "The book I was carrying is gone too... There are still a lot of magic circles on it, but I basically memorized all of them. Come down, it shouldn't be a problem."

This was the first time Angie had heard of the contents of that book.She looked at Iselin in surprise, and then heard Charles ask: "In other words, is there only blood shortage now? By the way, can the blood of mutated creatures be used?"

"Can... right?" Estherine looked very unconfident, "The main reason is that I haven't tried it yet, so I'm not sure..."

"Then try."

Angie and Charles said this at the same time, and then Charles added with a smile: "There are still a few chickens at this authentic exit, which is just right here. With so many of us, it shouldn't be a problem to tie up a few chickens, right? "

"Where did you come from?" Angie was very confused.

"Hey, actually I sneaked into Cesar's room." Charles smiled playfully, and his tone was quite proud, "Anyway, those people in the church don't know where they are, so I just want to try it in the priest's room." Try your luck, and you actually found the secret passage~ There are some chickens and ducks locked in the room opposite him, maybe they are usually kept there? Although they may have mutated at the moment, but we have There are so many people, it’s easy to borrow some blood from them~”

"It was donated to him by the villagers, and it is also the public property of the church."

Elijah added blankly, but with a murderous look in his eyes, he literally wrote "I'm going to kill the old Cesar" on his face.

This made Anji smile helplessly, and patted him on the shoulder to express comfort.

It's just that Angie always felt a little unreal about the white mist that she hadn't seen before—after all, she and Etherine hadn't seen those things with their own eyes.

She raised this doubt to everyone, and then Charles took the lead in answering: "In short, this white mist is a very dangerous thing. From my personal feeling, it probably means that the candlelight of a beeswax candle can dispel a small piece of white mist, so that People in this area stay sane 'Is that so? Lauren went mad because she fell into the white mist and bit Andrea...she was pretty badly hurt."

Hearing his words, Estherine felt a little complicated.Although she knew that they were not her parents, she still unconsciously held Angie's hand slightly harder, and then suddenly felt that Anji touched her head lightly with his head, and said softly:
"Okay, don't think about it too much. Now just think about how to get out of here."

"……Um."

Estherine responded in a muffled voice, looking at the upward stone staircase at the end of the tunnel, with a lot of anticipation in her heart.

What would the world outside Knowlson Village look like?

-----

In the cabin with candles and closed doors and windows, Laurentius and Andrea were doing the final dismantling work.

This is exactly the tunnel exit that Estherine took Angie to escape from prison.This hut is also very close to the cemetery. Lauren and the others have also stored some tools such as axes and knives here in advance, which can be used as a temporary studio.

As for the few beeswax candles that were placed on the ground, they passed by the church—there was no one in the church anyway, and they didn't have time to find out where the church personnel went.

With the efforts of the two of them, the silver coffin has been completely dismantled.Its sides were nailed together by Lauren, making it a solid silver plate.

At the same time, Andrea also dug out the two silver-plated oars that they buried here in advance.Now, standing by those oars, she and Lauren looked at the humble "silver ship" with mixed feelings.

Crossing the river with this kind of temporary silver board is absolutely impossible in the real world.

But in this foreign land, this wild idea became their only escape method.

There are too many traps in the tunnel, and the road is too complicated. When exploring the tunnel before, they have never successfully found the exit to the outside of the village, so they dare not place their hopes on it.

The cursed river outside the village of Knowlson erodes and swallows all kinds of objects, even solid iron.After various attempts, they still couldn't find any breakthrough, so they temporarily gave up the idea of ​​crossing the river directly.

But after hearing the villagers say that "silver can ward off disasters and is a sacred material", they naturally thought that "silver might be able to ward off curses", so they spent a lot of money to buy a small silver plate.

They stood some distance away from the river and threw the silver plate horizontally into the river by means of "floating the water".

The gleaming slab hasn't sunk, and hasn't eroded much.It slid on the river for a short distance, just as smoothly as gliding on the ice, and then it was swallowed by the black water rushing from all around, and it disappeared.

This bold experiment gave them some expectations—as long as they could find a way to solve or divert the black water, they might be able to use the silver board to slide to the other side.

Etherine's magic circle did protect their house from the cursed creatures.If this magic circle can help them block those black water curses, and then use these silver oars to assist them in sailing, there is a high probability that they can successfully reach the other side.

Thinking of this, Lauren looked out the window.

The candlelight by the window illuminates the outside world.It was no longer the village they were familiar with, but a thick sea of ​​white mist.

Six red spots of light are drifting past here unsteadily.

These light spots are in pairs, and each pair of light spots has the same course of action. At the same time, there are some strange howling sounds coming from there.

Obviously, this is some "people" passing by.

Before they processed the coffin, they made a lot of noise, and these things were attracted here.

But they didn't try to break into the house, they just wandered around slowly, looking not very smart.

Lauren silently withdrew her gaze and looked at Andrea beside her.The wound on her shoulder has healed a lot, but the wound on her hand is still oozing blood after being bandaged several times.

Seeing that the sackcloth wrapping her palm was dyed red again, Lauren felt a lot of guilt again.

He picked up the knife on the side and cut off the corner of his clothes, and while bandaging Andrea, he said softly, "Leah, I'm sorry...it's all because I didn't react in time..."

Andrea shook her head, whining in denial, and then pulled Lauren to sit on the stool together, resting her head lightly on the latter's shoulder.

Now, they can only pray that Charles can find the few remaining people and bring them here to rendezvous-with the village completely swallowed by white mist, she and Lauren alone will definitely not be able to stand out with this silver plate Siege.

The boy smiled and said, "I've always been lucky, don't worry~", took two candles and walked out the door, not knowing what was going on now.

Both Andrea and Lauren are very grateful for this brave and warm-hearted boy.Although Lauren said that she was able to regain her sanity because of seeing Andrea's hand, Andrea still felt that the beeswax candle should also be responsible for this.

If Charles hadn't held her back and asked Elijah for a candle, she would probably be wandering in the forest with Lauren with red eyes at this moment.

As for the burn on her hand, she accidentally made it while cooking.In fact, she doesn't know how to cook at all, and she just started to learn slowly to adapt to the life here, and she made a lot of troubles during the period.

It's just that in order to explore the tunnel, they bought a lot of candles and spent a lot of money, so they could only eat bread, and this child Iselin was also implicated...

A commotion from outside interrupted Andrea's thoughts.She and Lauren immediately became vigilant, picked up the axes around them one after another, and guarded the door from left to right.

Immediately afterwards, they heard several croaking sounds of chickens and ducks.

Here are some things to complete before...

The route for Lauren and Charles is simply written like this, without going into details.

I feel that the early writing is still a bit hasty + not careful enough, and occasionally I need to patch it.

Sometimes I will be too wordy because I pay too much attention to logic, but if I don’t write it out, I will feel that something is missing, and I am afraid that readers will feel that the logic is not smooth.

But even so, I always feel that there are still some loopholes... Before writing this big chapter, although I had already written the outline and went through the plot in my mind, I made a lot of changes to the plot as I wrote it. As for many things, the writing is still not rigorous enough.

I can only strive to write better in the next chapter.
