Chapter 68 68: Return and Collusion

Author: I really want to eat meat 597

Grand Village, which has two worlds, changed from a fourth-level foreign land to a sixth-level foreign land in less than five days.

It has extremely complex rules, and the "living church" that suddenly appeared in the center of the village has many mysteries.

The rooms on the third floor can form a weird "serial", and the "flesh and blood" room on the fourth floor is very similar to the big hole that Angie and Hardfer fell into. Even the underground space of this church has

Some kind of inexplicably powerful gravity.

In addition to these observable phenomena, there are many more problems that cannot be explained at all——

What is there in the deep cave at the bottom of the church that smells of blood?

By what standards does the underground world of the church exert different gravity on different people?

What's going on in that huge cave with the "wall of flesh"?

And what do the strange symbols in the corridor rooms and the "sinner" mean?

As for the white space and the kind people who helped her free of charge, they appeared more like the result of some kind of "forced intervention" by an external force, rather than being an original part of this "Church Strange Land".

Anji's eyes became deeper. She lowered her head slightly and thought for a moment, then asked a new question: "In other words, there is only one monster appearing in this church from beginning to end, and that is the angel?"

Rabin glanced at Pedra, who had been silent for a long time. Seeing that he showed no sign of speaking, he replied to her: "That's it so far. At least I didn't encounter anything when I came down to find you.

Strange thing, it’s just that those steps are easily broken and difficult to walk on.”

Anji nodded and listened, then picked up the book "Soul and Blood" and opened it gently.

As her eyes quickly scanned the first few pages, she found that the book was filled with some obscure academic terms. These long and complex discussions made Anji confused and at the same time realized something.

matter--

In this world, Anji, as a "farm girl", has only a pitiful amount of knowledge in her head.

With the knowledge she possesses in her current body, there is no problem in carrying out daily conversations, but when it comes to such "elegant art", she becomes extremely embarrassed.

It seems that I still need to find time to read more books and improve my literary literacy...

While thinking this, Anji couldn't help but think of this slogan:

Eliminating illiteracy starts with me!

It's just that the "illiterate" who deserves to be eliminated is herself...

Feeling helpless at the same time, she laughed silently, then shook her head slightly to shake those strange thoughts out of her head, and then flipped through a few pages and saw the Easter egg page that Pedra had mentioned.

According to him, among the books on the second floor of the church, this is the only one that has nothing to do with religious theology.

But in Anji's view, this painting still has a strong religious overtones——

Because in the center of the picture, the hat worn by the man in gorgeous robes is the bishop's crown.

In the Grosk Territory, since successive rulers opposed people's participation in religious activities, Pedra and Rabin naturally did not know that this tongue-shaped hat would be a symbol of senior clergy.

These "senior clergy" are usually bishops or archbishops, and this hat is decorated with wheat ears on the edge and a circle pattern in the middle.

Unfortunately, the pattern was too small, and the outlines were mixed together, making it difficult to see the specific shape. Anji squinted her eyes, almost sticking her entire face to the paper, and couldn't figure out the reason.

Could it be the strange circular pattern that Pedra saw in the room on the fourth floor before?

While Anji was still trying to study the "heavenly book" in her hand, Pedra's voice brought her back to reality:

"Captain, Angie, it's time for you two to leave. The matter in this church is not what you should consider now. The top priority should be to return to the castle as soon as possible and report the situation to Lord Slade. The bone helmet on Angie's head

, it must be demolished as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary branches.”

Rabin also stood up, patted Anji lightly on the shoulder, and said to her: "Let's go first. There are some things we can talk about on the way."

Angie nodded obediently and turned to look at Pedra. He still had the same sullen expression on his face, and there was some dissatisfaction in his eyes as he looked at her, as if he was still angry at her for teasing him and Flish earlier.

The behavior is grudge.

But even though he put on this angry look, he still cared about the bone helmet on her head, and there was some concern and worry in his tone.

These seemingly "contradictory" behaviors made Anji quickly think of Hardfer - their master and apprentice were exactly the same in terms of "saving face".

This made her feel a little helpless, but at the same time she felt a little warm.

———————————

After smiling and waving goodbye to the awkward Pedra, Angie picked up the sack, and he and Rabin got on their horses and embarked on the journey back to the castle.

Fortunately, Rabin still had a candle with him, which allowed them to gallop even in the middle of the night.

Although Angie's head still occasionally felt a flash of tingling sensation along the way, the two of them still talked about a lot of things while riding on horseback with only each other for company.

.

Angie first asked a question related to Pedra:

"Captain, what's going on with Senior Pedra and Fulish? Since they have a good relationship, why are they still fighting?"

"Well, well... first of all, it was because of the different positions of the two parties, and also because Pedra had done something that Flish could not forgive before, which led to the way they get along with each other today. But for this

Both of them kept silent about this matter, so I don’t know the specific situation, I just know that there is such a thing.”

After answering her gossipy question with a wry smile, Rabin then asked the other party something that had puzzled him for a long time:

"Angie, please tell me carefully, what is the situation between you and Hardfer? I am not doubting you, but you have to think about one thing - what will you do when you are in front of Lord Slade?

Explain to her?"

This question is difficult for Angie to answer.

It's not that she hasn't thought about this. On the contrary, she has been thinking about this question, but she still hasn't come up with an answer.

It would be too difficult to hide from Slade.

It is impossible to make complete nonsense. At the very least, it must be half-truth and half-lie. Only then can it be possible to increase the probability of success "a little bit" in front of that extremely shrewd lord.

To this end, Anji needs to quarrel with Rabin to ensure that the caliber is consistent.

Angie's idea was successfully supported by Rabin. Along the way, the two of them repeatedly checked the "confession" and thought about how to report to Slade what happened in the church.

After a long discussion, the two agreed that except for Angie and Hardfer's "mutual rescue", all other matters can be reported.

The matter of the gift must not be hidden, so the matter of the white space must also be confessed.

But at the same time, the matter about the piece of brown paper can be "slightly skipped" - this is not a deception, it is just "accidentally omitting some trivial matters" when making a report.

In fact, this is what Rabin told Pedra: He first found Angie underground, and then found the white space at the bottom. After leaving that space with Angie, he suddenly returned to the church.

As for the encounter with Hadfer, Rabin completely skipped it and did not reveal the slightest bit to anyone. After all, if it were really pursued, he, who did not have the heart to attack Hadfer, would also bear a heavy responsibility.

But there is only one thing that cannot be justified at all, and that is -

Angie was taken away by Hardfer in full public view and came back safe and sound.

"Well, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge!" Anji said to Rabin with a smile, "Anyway, I don't know how to make this up, so I will just answer Sly according to what I said to senior Pedra before.

Lord De~"

Seeing how optimistic she was, Rabin could only answer with a wry smile.

Anji's "I don't know how to make it up" was already a confession in front of him.

However, before that, Rabin already knew that there were many secrets hidden in her, but he just didn't want to delve into them in detail.

He had already determined in his heart: Anji was a good, well-behaved and sensible girl, and would never be a spy sent by other lords. Naturally, there was no need to inquire into her affairs.

Although Master Slade will not let Angie go just like that, considering that this young girl has done so much for her, he should be given a lighter sentence, right?

Rabin told Anji his inner thoughts, but he only saw the girl asking a question with a confused expression and an anxious tone:

"Speaking of which... what will happen if Lord Slade finds out that we worked together to deceive her?"

"Well..." The expression on Rabin's face became complicated. After hesitating for a long time, he said with fear, "It could range from being chopped a few times and hanging on the wall for a few days to being taken away and tortured.

Life is worse than death, and you may even be thrown directly into the 'blessing'..."

Then, he seemed to suddenly think of something, swallowed nervously, and changed the subject:

"But in fact, this 'several chops' is not necessarily the lightest punishment... If she gets really angry and fails to control the strength in her hands, someone will die..."

…

Anji had nothing to say. This really fit that person's character.

It seems that the bet this time is a bit big...

With this uneasy feeling, the two of them ran all the way, ate almost all the dry food, and finally arrived in Kent County four and a half days later.

This can be regarded as half a summary.

Brain-burning?

(I also think it’s a bit convoluted hhh)

But I’ve tried my best to list all these doubts~ It should look okay, right?
