Infinite Anecdotes

Emilia bit her lip: "But who would attack a group of innocent villagers?"

"There are many possible reasons. Maybe they have information they shouldn't know, maybe it's for property, or maybe they just live nearby." When Tang Cheng said the last sentence, his eyes burst into tears. A gleam of cold light.

"Do you mean that they are actually here for Leah?" Parker sensitively grasped the point that Tang Cheng wanted to bring out plainly.

"It doesn't have to be Leah, it might be Roswaal, but [-]% of them are for the mansion." Tang Cheng flipped through the cabinet and showed it to Parker and Emilia: "They didn't take Robbers do not take property.

"Mansion!"

The group quickly left the village and rushed towards Roswaal's mansion.

The gate of the mansion was wide open, and there was no sound, but the chill atmosphere and bloody smell could not be concealed and wafted over from afar.Although there were no people in Roswaal's mansion, the pair of venomous maids and sisters would always stand there to welcome the guests in normal times.

But today, there were only bloodstains on the ground, and the well-repaired garden was completely destroyed. Next to the corpse of a maid, a meteor hammer rolled down.

Emilia quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound or crying, while Tang Cheng pulled out the sword at his waist with a solemn expression.

The man standing in the middle of Roswaal's flower bed let go of the girl's body in his hand, tilted his head 90 degrees to the side, and then suddenly turned towards Tang Cheng and the others.

"You guys are being lazy."

Tang Cheng looked at the holy man in front of him. His figure was too thin, only a layer of skin and bones were gathered in a black robe. He had a head of hair that looked weird like cow dung, matched with that skull-like hair. No matter how you look at her face, she doesn't look like a stubble.

Of course, with the corpse on the ground, Tang Cheng already had enough reasons for him to draw his sword.

So he didn't have any hesitation.

Before the other could say the next word, the man's head slid off his neck and flew away.

Tang Cheng held down Emilia, told her to stay where she was, and walked over with the sword in hand to poke her in the throat and heart. After confirming that this guy was indeed dead, Tang Cheng looked around All around, put the sword into its sheath.

Emilia didn't wait for Tang Cheng's nod signal, she couldn't wait to bypass him and the corpse on the ground, ran to the edge of the flower bed and hugged the body of the blue-haired maid, shaking her gently and kept calling her name, Tang Cheng Although Cheng didn't try to sniff like Emilia did, he also knew that Rem was dead.

Emilia's face was ashen. It's not that she has never seen death, but when she thought that the people she met day and night had become such a cold corpse, her expression was shaken violently.Soon, she seemed to have thought of something suddenly, looked around anxiously, and then rushed; Zhongdi ran towards the mansion.

Tang Cheng knew what she was looking for.

After seeing the younger sister among the twin maids, he would naturally think of her older sister.

Only Rem was found here, but Ram was not seen. Emily was obviously worried about whether Ram would also be killed.Although Tang Cheng was also not sure about this point, he was sure that Ram was not nearby, at least not in this mansion now, after all, Ram had his scent on him.

Even so, Tang Cheng faithfully followed Emilia's footsteps. He didn't withdraw his sword because he was worried that there were other enemies lurking in the mansion.

However, when they looked around the circle, they found that the entire mansion was empty.Not only was there no sign of Ram and Roswaal, but the enemy was also nowhere to be found.

What's going on, isn't the enemy the only one just now?

probably not.

Tang Cheng quickly denied this by himself. When he was investigating in the village just now, he clearly felt that there were a lot of enemies. Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill the whole village so cleanly. Obviously, it was premeditated. of.It's just that what they probably didn't expect was that Tang Cheng and Emilia delayed their return trip because of the white whale, so they hit the empty door.

So have they gone, or are they lurking around?

"The person just now should be a member of the Witch Cult." Parker analyzed the current situation.

Regarding Witch Cult, Tang Cheng also heard about it when he was investigating witch-related information before. They are fanatics of Witch Shatila, like the kind of cultists who specialize in advocating the end of the world, killing people and setting fire, bringing death and peace to the world. Disasters are what they often do.Because they bear the title of witch, and at the same time, they name the small leaders of the organization according to the names of the seven deadly sins, so it is easy to make people mistakenly think that they are also related to other witches, but in fact, this organization only worships and envies The witch Shatila has nothing to do with the other witches in the past history. The only goal of their actions is to revive the Envious Witch in this world.

"They came to look for me." Witnessing the tragic death of the villagers and Rem, Emilia is now in an extremely depressed mood, as if she blamed herself for all this, looking depressed.

"Leah." Parker looked at her worriedly, with complicated feelings.Seeing Tang Cheng's inexplicable expression, Parker explained to him in a low voice: "You know that Leah looks very similar to the Envious Witch in the past, right?"

Tang Cheng nodded.

In fact, people today have never seen what a witch looked like 400 years ago. The only characteristic of a witch that has been handed down is the half-elf with silver hair and pointed ears. Although this feature is relatively rare in the human world, silver-haired half-elf In fact, there are quite a few in this world, and the job of the Witch Cultists is to find them and then test them.

"Trial?" Tang Cheng frowned.

"It's to see if the other party is suitable as a container for the witch's body." Parker said.

Tang Cheng Yie.

"I heard that 400 years ago, the dragon god, the sword master and the sage joined forces to seal Shatila, but they didn't destroy Shatila, so how to revive it?"

"Sah, I don't know." Parker spread his paws: "After all, how should I say it? Although the Witch Cultists claimed that they acted under the orders of Shatila, Shatila herself was locked up, and she was No one knows how to issue orders to her followers, and many people even think that they just think they are following the witch's will, because they are all lunatics without exception."

"I see." Tang Cheng nodded understandingly, and then turned to Emilia: "Leah, I know you must be very sad now, and you even blame yourself for the responsibilities you shouldn't bear, but that It's not a kind of responsibility, but a kind of weakness, you know?"

Emilia raised her head to look at Tang Cheng and the knight who had been protecting her. The pain in her chest seemed to soften a little, and she threw herself into Tang Cheng's arms with tears in her eyes: "Then what should I do?" Well, they... Rem and the people in the village all died because of me."

"No, they were killed by the Witch Cult." Tang Cheng said firmly.

At this moment, the window on the second floor where they were located instantly shattered into pieces, turning into crystal rain and splashing down towards the room.Tang Chengcheng lifted up his long coat as if he had a premonition, and used it to cover Emilia, then glanced behind him sideways: "So it's very simple, as long as the debt is paid in blood."

As the cracked window opened, a few strange figures broke into the corridor. They were all wrapped in black cloaks. It seemed that this image was the standard appearance of Witch Cultists.

"Do it without even listening to the important words, you... are really lazy." Unlike the man with the blue face and ridiculous hair before, this man in front of him is much shorter and younger, and the freckles on his face seem to prove this A little bit, but the tone of his speech is exactly the same as before.

This time, Tang Cheng did not impatiently kill the opponent with a sword. In fact, he wanted to hear what the opponent had to say. After all, he was completely blank about the new term Witch Cult.

This weird man started chewing his fingers in front of them. This was not a soft, even cute behavior, but he bit his finger out of blood in a way that was almost self-harm. : "Although the introduction may be a bit late now, I am Petelgeus Romani Konti, who is in charge of the Witch Cult's Sin Archbishop [Sloth]! I am here to bring you trials... "

He pointed at Tang Cheng as if Zhishen had decided on a Pokémon.

"No, no, it's not you."

But Lazy's expression of pointing at Tang Cheng froze quickly, shook his head, and then moved his body to the side in a funny way.
