Chapter 89
"Let's go." Merlin said to Father Jacques, who was still shocked. "It's not the time to be surprised. Let's go to Brut's house to see what happened to him!"
"And, I think those who are panicked want our comfort! After all, in York, we are the only ones who have the power to comfort those who are panicked by this."
"If it is not handled well, something big will happen, especially when Yuser is away." Merlin said calmly.
Father Jacques calmed down a little after hearing Merlin's words, but said uneasy: "It's really terrible. The head of a religion can actually have such a strange way of death. This... Is this because Brut's God turned against him? Or was it the punishment of other gods?"
"Instead of making me believe that it was the punishment of the unpredictable God, I would rather believe that it was the conspiracy carried out by those who were unpredictable. Let's go and see it quickly! Hope the situation is not as bad as I imagined, and hopefully, the situation is not what I imagined!"
After hearing this, Father Jacques did not hesitate and immediately went to Brut's house with Merlin.
When they came to the Brut House, as Merlin had expected, the entire Brut House was in chaos due to Brut's death. What was even more puzzling was that the entire Brut House, like something terrifying happened, was shrouded in a strange panic. What was even more strange was that all the Brut House people gathered at the door of the Brut House and were unwilling to step into the Brut House where they had been for most of their time, as if there was something terrifying in that house.
When Merlin and Jacques came to Brut's house, the people of Brut's house seemed to see a savior, and all of them rushed up, surrounded Merlin and Father Jacques, and said in a lingering manner: "Father Jacques, are you here?" "My magician Merlin, you must untie this curse!!" "Father Jacques, you..." "My magician Merlin,..."
The sounds made by the entire Brut family kept buzzing in the ears of Merlin and Father Jacques, making both Merlin and Father Jacques irritated. What was most surprising was that everyone seemed to be not very concerned about Bishop Brut's death, and they were repeating incredible words such as "magic" and "curse".
But Merlin and Father Jacques didn't seem surprised by this situation. Although they were bored by the people who were holding them, Merlin shouted loudly: "I already know what you are worried about. But we only know what happened to him and you when we see your master. So, let us in."
At this time, Father Jacques and Merlin's servants also recovered from the surprise of the people's actions, and stepped forward to pull away the people who surrounded Father Jacques and Merlin.
Finally, Merlin and Father Jacques struggled to escape from the crowd and walked to the abandoned Brut's house. Their attendants guarded the door and did not allow anyone to enter.
"It's really confusion. Are they so scared?" Father Jacques said embarrassedly.
When Merlin heard this, he glanced at Father Jacques, and then said, "People are always afraid of things they don't know. Jacques, you kid, when you saw the parchment just now, you were not much better than those at the door."
Father Jacques heard this and blushed, then said, "This is the first time I have heard of this thing, of course I am not as calm as you."
"But," Father Jacques looked around and said, "But, it's really chaotic." The entire Brut family was in chaos, with footprints left by people running away in panic everywhere, and a lot of food was abandoned on the ground.
"Because, when Brut died suddenly, it was their meal time." Merlin replied looking at the chaotic Brut's house.
"Let's go to the dining room, Brut is there." Merlin said, speeding up his pace towards Brut's dining room.
Father Jacques followed Merlin's footsteps. He saw Merlin passing through the Brut's house as maze-like, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Merlin, have you been here many times? Why are you so familiar with me?"
"I have never been to this place. However, I know all the dignitaries in York. Even I know the place where your church houses holy relics. Let's not talk about it, we're here." Merlin said to the dining room of Brut's house.
"How many spies have you guys installed in York?" Father Jacques complained quietly while walking into the dining room.
As the chaos seen before, Merlin had already walked to the dead Bishop Brut, taking out some tiny tools from the black robe he was wearing, while exploring Bishop Brut's body.
Although I had learned from the parchment that Brut was dead, when I saw the real dead Brut, Father Jacques couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "What's going on? Could it be that the door of hell opened by the devil come to York?"
Bishop Brut, who was lying on the ground, was covered in scars, but had bleeding from the air holes. What was most strange was that his skin color, for some reason, turned into a stone-like color. Father Jacques watched Merlin knock Bishop Brut's hand vigorously towards the plate beside him, and made the sound of iron collision.
"What's going on? Is this what you mean by the magic, old man?" Father Jacques said in disbelief.
After a long investigation, Merlin stood up, looked at Brut's body and sighed, then said: "They are back."
"But why did they kill Brut? In this way, wouldn't they reveal that they already knew Alstori's identity? With their wisdom, they shouldn't do this. Why is that?" Merlin said to himself.
"I say, old man, you..." Father Jacques said dissatisfied, obviously dissatisfied with Merlin's failure to answer his question.
"Jacques, I'm going to trouble you next. Please explain to them. And I'm going to start to rectify the druid's defense and let the enemy sneak in." Merlin sighed and said.
"Jacques, don't worry about what kind of magic this is. Brut died not because of the curse, but because he was infected with a very strange poison." Merlin said affirmatively.
"However, I think you understand how to explain to those outside the door."
After hearing Merlin's words, Jacques wanted to say something, but Merlin didn't give him a chance at all and left without looking back.
"Really, this old man really gave some trouble." Jacques looked at Merlin's figure and had a headache. How should he use excuses to appease the people.
Rather than explaining that it is poisoning, it is better to explain that becoming a devil can be understood by ordinary people. However, when thinking of Yuser's enemy, Jacques also had a headache. Do you have to make arrangements secretly?
Merlin, who left earlier, frowned and thought deeply: It seems that Alstori must be sent to the Knights Training Camp as soon as possible. Only those Armenians will not be controlled by this secret enemy! But why do they kill Brut? Why?
On the other hand, Sima Zhai, a man in black robe said to Sima Xiu: "Young Master of the Sima family, we have already done your request for you. I wonder, when will you fulfill what you promised us?"
"When will you deliver the control of the Armenians in the Knights' Training Camp?"
(I'm sorry for the update speed, but I also have to take into account my studies. The CET-6 is approaching and the end of the semester is coming. I want to review it carefully. Moreover, there are many things in the law school that need to be remembered.
