Chapter 66 66: Suspicions in the Church Part 1

This time, Anji's return journey went extremely smoothly, except that she crossed some "cursed puddles" and experienced another illusion on the way.

But this fantasy made her feel extremely bright, just like she suddenly learned on a working day morning that she didn't have to go to work today, and then fell into a beautiful sleep.

If you want to ask why, it's because - in the fantasy world, she fought with a certain tsundere senior who was desperate to save face, and she won the fight.

It's just that the sky is getting darker. At this moment, Anji has no means of lighting and must leave the forest quickly.

The cool evening breeze blew gently from the side. She tucked the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears, looked at the surrounding scenery, determined her position through the setting sun, and then continued running north.

——————————

An hour later, the girl who walked in the dark finally arrived at Bruce Village.

She first went to take out the horse she had fostered at a villager's house, and then under the guidance of the enthusiastic villager, she came to the "hut where the knights stayed temporarily".

"Dong dong dong."

Anji politely restrained her strength and knocked on the door three times.

Not long after, the old wooden door creaked open a crack. Through the crack, she saw Pedra behind the door and Rabin standing behind him.

Anji happily greeted them:

"Senior Pedra~! Leader~! I'm back!"

After being stunned for a brief moment, Pedra slammed the door aside and couldn't help shouting:

"Angie! Are you okay?"

He looked nervously at the girl in front of him, and found that she was just looking at him with a smile, and she didn't seem to be hurt. Then he breathed a deep sigh of relief and asked, "Hadever didn't do anything to you, right?"

?”

"I didn't do anything~" Anji walked into the room with a smile and waved warmly to Rabin. Seeing that there were no outsiders here, he continued, "It's just that the gift that suddenly appeared in my pocket was taken away by him.

…”

Her words made Rabin and Pedra freeze on the spot, and then they exclaimed one after another:

"What?!"

Seeing the two people's strong reactions, Anji smiled sheepishly: "Hehe~ I'm sorry... After all, I can't beat him at all, so I can only hand over the things... To be honest, I'm still being fooled."

After Fu threatened me, I realized that the round egg was a gift..."

She said this and winked at Rabin again.

Rabin was slightly startled. Although he didn't quite know what Anji meant, he could roughly guess that there was something fishy hidden in what she said.

After thinking about it, Rabin decided to help her and ask again later.

He pretended to sigh deeply, then walked up to Pedra who was a little worried, and patted the other person on the shoulder: "Forget it, there is nothing we can do about it. No matter what, it's good that nothing happened to anyone."

Pedra rarely ignored Rabin and looked at Angie with doubts in her eyes:

"A gift is not something you can pick up casually on the roadside. Angie, tell the truth - where did this thing come from?"

"However, it did suddenly appear in my pocket...just when Captain Rabin and I returned to the hall..."

Anji looked at Pedra aggrievedly, and his tone seemed very weak, which made the middle-aged knight a little confused.

Instinct told him that the child in front of him was not lying, but this thing was so bizarre that he could not bypass his own reason and believe Anji...

When Pedra was struggling, Rabin stood up again to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, don't think so much. It's good that this little girl can survive. Even we can't understand the gift, how can we still do it?"

Are you going to make things difficult for her?"

Pedra didn't answer, just stared at Angie closely.

But Anji just looked down at the ground and pursed her lips, looking totally helpless and pitiful.

This made Pedra a little bit unbearable. He sighed helplessly, gave up the idea of ​​continuing to ask, and said in a low voice: "Oh, Master Slade has clearly told him not to let Hardfer take away the gift..."

Sensing that Pedra's attitude had softened, Rabin quickly struck while the iron was hot and gave him kind words:

"Okay, okay! It's a good thing that Angie is back safely! Let me tell you about Mr. Slade!"

At this time, Anji, who was standing aside with his head lowered and "feeling depressed", began to quietly look at the situation in the house.

Her eyes passed over a slightly familiar sack, and finally settled on Arnold lying on the ground, covered in blood, and asked in a low voice: "Is Arnold okay?"

Hearing this, Pedra turned to look at Anji, struggled for a while, and then replied:

"There is nothing serious about my body, but the bleeding is a bit serious. I think I will need to lie down for two or three days to get better."

As he said this, he glanced at the unconscious Arnold again, and sighed softly: "I don't know why the alien land of Grand Village is so complicated. In less than five days, it has gone from level 4 to alien."

It's unheard of for someone to be raised to a sixth-level alien realm... Anji, aren't you affected?"

"Ahaha... Actually, I have been affected... but the symptoms are relatively mild."

Anji smiled, scratched her head, and replied with some embarrassment.

Pedra looked at her with a strange look, but Rabin's hearty laughter came to her ears: "Haha! It seems that the future of the Groske Territory is still very promising~ Pedra, you just stay

Come down and take care of Arnold, Angie and I will return to Kent together. After all, we can’t keep Lord Slade waiting too long!”

He then turned to look at Rabin, nodded slightly and said "hmm", and then looked at Anji again, as if he was hesitant to speak.

Seeing this situation, Anji asked directly:

"Senior Pedra, do you have anything to ask?"

"It's nothing... I just want to ask, did that guy Hardfer say anything to you?"

He seemed very hesitant and his voice was hesitant, as if he was a little embarrassed to ask "the girl he just questioned" about such a personal matter.

"No, he just snatched away the gift and then left in a hurry. I don't understand why."

Anji was talking nonsense naturally, and his heart was slightly disturbed. It seemed that Pedra still cared about the "evil disciple" in his eyes, but because of his face, he was reluctant to mention Hardfer's matter.

.

Pedra still had doubts about Anji's somewhat sloppy answer, but she didn't ask too many questions.

After all, he was somewhat confused about Hardfer's character and temperament, and Rabin's words were also very reasonable - as long as the person is fine, it will be fine.

Although there are many mysteries surrounding this girl, she is still a newcomer, so naturally we cannot embarrass her too much.

While Pedra was repeatedly "pulling himself" deep in his heart, Angie quickly counted the time in his mind.

This time it took about a day and a half to travel to the Silent Forest and Grand Village, and it only took less than five days to get back to Kent from Bruce. Based on the seven-day time limit of the Small Bone Helm, there was still some room left.

In this way, there was no need to rush back to the castle. She originally planned to chat with these two old seniors for a few more words, and by the way, she could sort out the things during this period.

Mainly, it was Pedra's experience that made Angie more curious - after all, when Rabin was with her in the church underground, Pedra and Arnold were still in the church.

Judging from their exaggerated fight marks, it was probably not just "domestic violence", but something else might have happened. Moreover, how were the bodies of the two of them recovered?

These valuable "secondary" experiences may serve as a reference for her during future adventures.

Anji expressed her thoughts and warmly invited the two seniors to tell her about the things she didn't know about.

——————————————

The night is getting dark.

At this time, the three of them were sitting together against the wall in the house.

Under Angie's curious eyes, Pedra had no choice but to repeat to her the experiences that she had already told Rabin in advance.

He first briefly mentioned his search on the second floor of the church.

All the rooms in the corridor on the second floor are almost identical, with just some furniture and a small bookshelf. The books on the bookshelf are all related to religion, but there is an exception - that is called "Blood and

The strange manuscript of "Soul".

As he spoke, he took out the inconspicuous yellowed book from his arms.

Although Angie was very curious, he just took it and took a look at it, then put it aside temporarily and listened to Pedra continue to narrate his story:

"Since the rooms in the cloister on the second floor were all configured in this way, I just briefly flipped through the books to make sure there was nothing else between them, and then walked to the third floor of the church with Arnold. But what happened next was...

It’s starting to get a little weird…”

"There are some wooden tables and chairs in the first room on the third floor, but the surfaces of those things have scratches all over the place, as if someone is deliberately playing a prank. But even so, the room looks relatively clean.

, it was a panoramic view. I found that there were no clues here, so I quickly came to the second room..."

"There are still some wooden furniture here, but they look extremely messy - the wood has been torn into pieces and scattered on the ground, like a scene that has been ravaged by some kind of wild beast. The third room is much better than the previous room.

While it was even more chaotic, there were also some blood stains on the wall..."

Anji couldn't help but frown. This sounded like the opening plot of some kind of suspense horror movie, but the time when this story was told was still dark, which seemed particularly "appropriate".

Pedra paused for a moment, collected his thoughts, and then continued: "In the fourth room, there were more blood stains. Not only were there large splatters of blood and brutal scratches on the walls, but also on the ceiling.

There were some splashes, and the ground was also bumpy, and it looked a bit miserable. But I already had some expectations in my heart, so I didn’t stay much and went directly to the next room..."
To be continued...
