Life in a different world begins with hidden strength

Chapter 213 Black Goat

Strange things happen frequently in the town, and lambs in the sheepfold disappear mysteriously. At first, people thought it was a wild animal and intensified patrols, but found nothing.

Over time, dozens of lambs in the sheepfold disappeared. Afterwards, townspeople began to disappear one after another.

The news spread, causing a moment of panic.

People thought it was most likely that there was a monster secretly worshiping them, and they fled with their families.

The once prosperous town suddenly saw its population drop to less than a thousand people...

The strange thing is that after there were fewer people, strange things stopped happening, and the town returned to peace.

Gurav, the owner of the sheepfold, embarks on a journey to avoid disaster. He thought of many ways to solve the problem, including hiring a priest from the church or a demon hunter from the Adventurer's Guild, but without exception, he would pay a high price.

A big problem that even the town's knight-level sheriff can't solve. If you really want to hire foreign aid, it will cost at least a hundred gold to start.

The savings he had worked hard to accumulate over the years could never be squandered so casually, and he could only adopt a more economical plan.

Now that he has found the direction, Gurav is not going to spend any more money asking for directions.

In the early morning, I packed up my belongings and boarded the carriage. After a whole day of running around, I barely entered the suburbs at around 4 p.m.

"I'm sorry, I only know about Dawn Church. If you want to go, go over there."

From beginning to end, he never thought of completely solving the hidden dangers. As long as it doesn't affect the future lives of you and your family, it doesn't matter.

"Sorry, we only provide shelter and no accommodation services for the time being." Elaine replied.

The dark gray church building is much taller than the surrounding low-rise houses and can be seen from a long distance away.

Gurav got out of the car and talked to the guard at the guard booth. After getting permission to enter, he found the black-haired nun in charge. The cost of five coppers per day and one silver per month is not very expensive, and there is a free bathhouse, and meals are provided in the morning and evening: "There are five people in our family, can we provide a separate room?"

The carriage successfully approached the construction site and stopped in front of the roadblock at the street entrance.

"The sects that can set up a stronghold in the city are all orthodox religions. Let's go and take a look first."

The children in shabby clothes raised their fingers.

Gurav found a half-year-old child on the roadside and asked for directions: "Excuse me, do you know where the nearby church is? If you can take me there, I will pay you a suitable reward."

The wife expressed doubts: "Dawn Church, I have never heard of this name... We should go to the Holy Church or the Truth... It feels more reliable..."

Although you may have to take some risks on the way, as long as the monster doesn't kill you immediately, you have a good chance of getting asylum. Moreover, the price of receiving the exorcism ceremony directly at your door will be much cheaper. If you hide for a while to avoid the limelight, the matter will come to an end...

Gurav politely thanked him, but did not offer any benefits, and returned to the carriage.

Throughout his life, it was because of his extremely stingy character that he stood out among ordinary people and achieved his current career.

After some careful consideration, Gurav decided to lead his family to the church in the capital.

"How much does it cost to park my carriage overnight?" Gurav continued to ask.

"I'm sorry, the stables are still under construction. They are not open yet, and there is no one to look after them. If you don't mind the financial loss, I can make it easier for you."

Anna led Gurav to a planned open space. Temporary parking spaces are located not far from the guard booth. "Oh, thank you! Please check in for me!"

All important belongings were put into the inscription space pocket that Gurav carried with him. Most of the items on the carriage were clothes and the like, which were of little value. Despite this, Gourav decided to sleep in the carriage, citing the need to take care of the horses. I wanted to perform a ritual to expel negative energy immediately, but I was told that I would have to wait until noon tomorrow.

Gurav suppressed the anxiety in his heart and prayed that nothing would happen tonight. I don't know why, but I feel an inexplicable sense of peace when I'm close to the Church of Dawn.

Fortunately, the night passed peacefully.

The next morning, the family enjoyed breakfast distributed by the nuns. Brown bread and vegetable soup, both simple and simple. It is worth mentioning that the vegetable soup is not completely vegetarian and contains more or less slices of ham.

It was a little worse than the usual home-cooked meal, but Gurav was very happy with it and even asked for an extra bowl of soup.

Generally speaking, it is relatively safe during the day. Spirits, at least, are almost never active in the sun. A broad vision will also bring people more confidence and courage.

Gurav did not restrict the freedom of his wife and children, but he stayed alone by the carriage, waiting quietly for the person in charge to appear.

Compared with other religious institutions, Dawn Church is like a new seedling, with a deserted scene. It became noisy again as the construction team came in.

At around 11:10, Anna's figure riding the flying staff landed in front of the church door.

Originally, only elite ranks could continuously supply the magic power required for flying. But with the blessing of the magic pattern, Anna will only become more relaxed. The storage capacity of more than 10,000 degrees is enough to reach any place within a thousand miles around the royal capital.

Gurav is well aware of the value of mastering the ability to fly, and with spellcasters above the elite level taking charge, the strength and foundation of the Church of Dawn seem pretty good. He stepped forward to talk and explain his family's situation.

It all starts with a newborn lamb.

It is really a strange thing for a pure black lamb to suddenly be born in a sheep pen full of white lambs.

In the past years, Gurav might not have taken it too seriously, but now that weird legends were rampant, he had to pay attention, so he went to ask people in the town.

Everyone unanimously suggested that the black goat cubs must be disposed of as soon as possible. After many religions, the black goat is the incarnation of the devil, which means ominous and evil.

Gurav invited religious personnel in the town and handed over the black goat cubs to them.

On the day of the cremation ceremony of the Heresy Trial, more than half of the townspeople came to pay attention.

The black goat cub was exposed to the blazing flames without saying a word, facing the torture calmly and numbly, and finally turned into a pile of charcoal, with a few black smoke rising.

It seemed that the matter had come to an end, but strange things began to happen soon afterwards...

"It's a bit troublesome!" Anna commented.

If monsters are behind the scenes, the enemy's strength will be at least level 30, and only fully armed knights can deal with it.

However, she had no intention of driving people away.

In the current world, it is inevitable to encounter supernatural events. Religious institutions exist to solve these troubles…

As long as the Dawn Church exists on the surface, there will always be people coming to find it.

Anna wanted to see if she could handle similar problems now.
