"By the way, I can ask Lev outside to help me pray and explain the situation!"
"No, the beliefs are different. For ordinary people, it is better not to get involved with the extraordinary world."
Hermione was talking to herself at this time, thinking about the next countermeasures. She didn't know when Tatiana would find this place. The storm outside is also constantly washing this small island. It is really difficult to do things if you are not familiar with the place!
'Tatianna had already expected to block my escape route. If I die directly now, will the remaining spirit be transformed into a spirit world creature? Then would I still be conscious, or would I still be myself? '
Why do I have this thought? Hermione stopped her current thoughts. Then she felt an invisible presence looking at her, and Hermione felt her scalp numb. This was due to the fear in her instincts. The original witch had never given her this feeling.
A gray mist passed by her sight, and Hermione found that the mark on her body began to emerge. The symbol that looked like a pupilless eye helped her maintain her internal balance.
No wonder Tatiana didn't succeed. The blue light crystal began to be wrapped inside. Hermione felt that her ability seemed to return a little, and a wisp of fire burned with a snap of her fingers.
'I cried so much. It turns out that the Fool still remembers me. I thought no one would come to save me. '
Hermione thanked this god crazily in her heart. It seemed that her long prayer service was still useful.
If she could, she would be willing to dedicate all her games The Sims, Baboon 14, Guigu Bahuang... to The Fool. I don't know if she can appreciate it or not. She could just find an ancient scholar to pull out her computer. .
It seems that this thing will only isolate me from contacting others, and will not interfere with others coming to me. I have to find a way to avoid Tatiana. I wonder if there is sister Tatiana, sister Tatiana or the like behind her. Loen's major entry points are guarded.
'How do I feel like I'm experiencing Battle Royale? '
The storm and rain outside were still there, and Hermione stared down at her chest. Fortunately, there were no outsiders here, otherwise she would have been thought to be a narcissist.
Seeing that the blue light no longer appeared, the pupilless eyes disappeared, Hermione tightened her collar, and Tatiana tore off the top two buttons of her coat and shirt, making herself feel as if something had happened to her. I need to tighten my collar. He's really a pervert, and he doesn't even spare women.
Hermione touched her lips and cheeks, where Tatiana had kissed her. It wouldn't matter if she was really a blond beauty. Thinking that she was like this because she was a boy, Hermione almost vomited out, feeling that she was no longer clean.
While Hermione was thinking wildly, a medium-sized passenger ship came over urgently on the village pier. Waves and storms continued to hit the passenger ship. The people on it, regardless of their etiquette, walked down part of the way to a simple bar and restaurant next to the pier. hostel.
The wind and rain kept beating against the windows outside. People inside the simple hotel took off their already soaked coats and asked the boss to book better rooms. Most of the wooden walls here have turned black, and the conditions are incomparable to those in the city. You can only pull up the taller ones from the short ones.
"Bonnie, how do you feel now? Do you still feel like vomiting?"
"Thank you for your concern, Tobiah. As long as I'm not in that rocking boat, I'll be fine."
A young woman named Bonnie was setting up a chair. She looked at her feet with blue eyes and made motions of wanting to vomit from time to time. Her face was a little haggard, which destroyed her original heroic spirit. There were still a few drops of rainwater on her red curly hair.
The equally young Tobias next to her greeted with a worried look on her face. She was a little taller than Bonnie, and her short reddish-brown hair was also stained with a lot of rainwater.
"Tobiah, please take care of Les and me. We are not much better."
"Dodge, you go back and forth again, and I will take care of you."
"No need, I care about myself."
After a few people arranged their clothes and coats, they sat around the table in front of the fireplace. Compared to Tobiah's three-dimensional facial features and charming brown eyes, Les was a middle-aged man with ordinary appearance and short stature, with dark brown hair. His face is a bit weathered, and the hair on his head is almost gone. Dodge is younger, looking about sixteen or seventeen years old, with the same ordinary appearance and short brown hair.
"It's almost time to go back. I didn't expect to encounter this terrible weather. I wonder if my dear brothers and sisters miss me." Dodge ordered a few glasses of the better craft beer here, and then started chatting with the people at the table.
Les looked at the storm outside the window, his face a little ugly. "It seems that this storm will not end for a while. We estimate that we will have to stay here for a few days."
"Isn't this just right? It's time to expand our community of brothers and sisters."
Looking at Dodge who was eager to try, Tobias knew that under the stimulation of novelty at the beginning, most people would be excited to share their knowledge with others, but they should still be careful on the surface. "Dodge, you'd better be careful. If there are official people here, be careful that you get locked in."
"Official people? Where were they when I was living on the streets, barely clothed, and about to starve to death? When my relatives and friends were dying of poverty and illness, did those gentlemen ever care about us? Only the Lord, Him Still saving us and suffering for us..." Dodge changed his free-spirited temperament and became fanatical and resentful, his face filled with unforgettable hatred.
Tobias looked at Les. After all, he and Bonnie were more cooperative with them. He could still distinguish between faith and the like, and he was not as crazy as ordinary believers.
Les nodded towards Tobiah and reassured Dodge. This young man seemed to have great potential, his faith was still firm, and he was suitable for good training.
Also sitting at the table near the stairs was a young man and woman who couldn't stand the rocking of the ship and came down. The woman who was wiping her dark brown hair seemed to have heard their conversation and was obviously stunned. The water droplets on her skirt were frozen there.
"Emma, be careful to control your outward movements. This is nothing. You will know more in the future."
"Brother Heras, I understand, I will pay attention to it in the future."
Hermione asked the Levs to separate a small room for herself so that any changes she made would not scare others. After resting for most of the day, I found that part of the strength I had gained from being stimulated last time had gone silent again, but fortunately, some of the hunter's abilities could be used again after being stretched.
Fortunately, the Fool didn't forget that he still had a devout believer who needed to be saved, so he helped restrain the crystal. You have to find an opportunity to get rid of this thing, otherwise your prayers will be cut off and you won’t be able to borrow any strength from yourself.
Looking at the torch-sized flames on my fingers, it feels a bit familiar, does it bring me back to the days when I first started to become an Extraordinary? It's like a test of one's own strength.
The flame suddenly went out, and Hermione felt vaguely uneasy. Could something be coming again? I think I have to add 'forerunner of disaster' to my honorary name in the future to regain my strength.
The low light and gray surroundings made it difficult to judge the time. After the heavy rain abated, a few more people disembarked from the passenger ship. They looked a little panicked and walked into the simple hotel carrying boxes while looking around, followed by several others who also carried boxes. local villagers.
Valery and Yuri braved the rain here to help the passenger ship replenish daily necessities, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, or carry luggage. You can earn a good salary this way, and at least you have the wine to talk about after drinking, and the talking points are already there.
After reaching the door on the second floor, the leader paid the reward and closed the door. Valery and Yuri didn't care about this at all. As long as they paid the wages, they could talk about anything and went down to drink with Yegor and Pablo behind them. .
"Ivan, four glasses of cider."
"Valery, I haven't given you the last one yet."
"Wouldn't this be made up for you together?"
The four of them found an empty table and sat down, regardless of whether their clothes were dry or not. They were already accustomed to life in the sea. Emma and Heras on the side were a little unable to bear the smell and harsh environment. Considering that the boat was shaking too much, they had to endure it.
Valery sat down and then chatted with Yuri, Pablo, and Yegor. It was just like being at home here, ignoring the outsiders.
"You have seen it too! Let's go and see it when the rain abates. This is the first time we have seen such a beautiful person in our life!"
"That's right! Not to mention the village, even the young ladies and rich ladies in the town can't compare. Lev is so unkind! Let's see what's wrong. Anyway, it was fished out of the sea."
"Paplo, your comparison is wrong. That red hair is even prettier than that of the beautiful lady over there. It's like a ball of flame. Although it's just the light of fire, I can see it clearly."
"Looking at her expensive clothes, she looks like a wealthy nobleman in trouble. Maybe one set of clothes is enough for us to live for a year." Yegor sighed. He was not like the other three who only wanted to see good-looking things. He was thinking How can I get out of my current poverty?
"Are you interested in asking around in case someone needs help? This way we can also get paid."
"Yuri, you have a good idea. The most important thing for a person is to recognize yourself and stop daydreaming."
…
Although the voices of a few people were not loud, the space in the bar and hotel was too small, so many people could hear them.
Tobiah heard the flaming red hair think for a moment, combined with the fact that he fished it out from the sea, was it one of his own who was in trouble? asked Les. "Les, has anyone in the organization disappeared recently?"
"You are talking about what the people over there are talking about. You ask me, who am I to ask! I have been staying with you all the time, and there is no place to send telegrams here. The telegraph room on the ship is flooded."
Then Tobiah looked at Bonnie,
"Would you like to take a look? It could be a female from your family. After all, this place happens to be on the flight path. The flaming red hair is also a characteristic of your family and is rarely seen outside."
"Let's go and have a look when you have time! I'm a little dizzy now. I just need to be able to come back by myself. The women of the Sauron family are not that fragile, and they don't have the iron-blooded courage. If they die, they will die."
"How can Bonnie say that, what if we redeem a lost lamb for the Lord?" Dodge had a different idea.
"Let's rest for a while. I also feel a little shaken." Tobiah quickly stopped. It was not an option to continue arguing like this.
In the room on the second floor, the few people who had just asked Valery and his team to carry their luggage had sad faces. The boxes placed in front of them attracted their eyes, which showed greed, fear, and confusion.
"Sean, could the weather outside prevent us from going back? I'm a little scared now."
"Don't worry so much. The weather in the ocean is unpredictable. Just rest here and wait for the rain to clear up."
"There are only three of us left in my group. How can you explain to the families of your dead brothers when you go back empty-handed?"
"That's true, but these are cursed objects!"
Several people fell into deep contemplation again. The boxes inside contained more or less the treasures they had worked hard to obtain.
"How about we go to the church here for a while. According to the region, this is the church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom."
"You can try it and pretend to be a believer."
After finishing speaking, several people immediately started to prepare and found Valery who had been carrying it before.
"Master Sean, Master McLenna, Master Bill, do you have any orders?"
"Valery is like this. We are all believers in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. We want to go to church to pray and receive sermons. This journey frightened us a little."
"There is indeed a knowledge church in the village, with the village chief Vasily taking charge of daily affairs and serving as the officiant. However, because our village is too remote and backward, few people from the church come, or they take away the children who have passed the exam."
"It's nothing. No matter where we are, I believe God will hear our prayers. Please help us lead the way and carry our luggage!"
Valery readily agreed, not caring why he had to bring his luggage with him to pray in the church, as long as he was paid.
Several people came outside the somewhat dilapidated church in the rain. The hotel owner thought they were about to check out and became anxious.
Except for the Holy Emblem of Knowledge, the entire church was still in good condition. The rest of the church was repaired and repaired. The stained glass windows that were originally engraved with the saints of the church were completely rotten, with several sacks blocking the gaps. The arched stone carvings at the door have long been worn away by erosion, and there is still a log barely supporting the beam above.
Directly opposite the church is a small flat square, where Sean and Valery stood waiting for the village chief and chief priest Vasily. In the large yard next to the church, there is a new and beautiful two-and-a-half-story building and The contrast here is stark.
McLenna couldn't help but complain a few words, "Did the village chief take the church maintenance costs to his own home?"
"If I were a believer in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, I would definitely report him."
"I'm just here to avoid the limelight, so I don't have to worry about that much."
Sean motioned to the two of them not to mind their own business. In the yard next to them, Yuri respectfully walked beside him holding an umbrella. An old man with a fat face and a gray beard came out and greeted Sean and his group into the church. The old man's eyes were cloudy, his hair had fallen out on top, and his leaky teeth made Sean barely understand what he was saying.
"Father Vasily, we hope to pray to relieve the worries caused by the journey."
"God will protect you, come in, children."
McNally gave Vasily a gold coin at the right time. Vasily smiled happily, with a little more energy in his cloudy eyes, and took Sean to the church.
The wooden chairs in the church have long turned black. Except for the painted bookshelf surrounded by angels and people behind the Holy Emblem of Knowledge, the rest of the church is also in disgrace.
After entering, Sean and the others were less worried, and it would be safe to return to land after a few days. Father Vasily took out an old holy book and looked at everyone with a smile:
"Okay, kids, let's get started!"
Hermione's uneasiness became more and more intense, and her spirituality told her that she should stay away from here quickly. The strong wind outside was still there, and the rain turned into ordinary light rain, being blown around by the strong wind.
He glanced at the rolling water under the steep slope behind him and asked, "If I jump like this, will I swim back to the land?" According to them, it is a bit far away from the coast of the Principality of Faroe. '
If I am eaten by a fish or dragged to an unknown place, then I will become a laughing stock in the extraordinary world. My spiritual intuition only tells me that I should leave here, and there should be no danger to my life. If the danger comes from the sea, wouldn’t I just deliver the goods to your door when I go out?
The sky outside began to darken, and Hermione went back to remind Lev and Mrs. Dory that she hoped they could spend the next few days safely here!
Inside the simple utility room, most of which was blackened by soot, firewood and bamboo blocks were piled here. Lev and his mother Dori relied on the light of firewood to sort dried fish. The price of good quality would be much higher.
"Mrs. Dori, Lev, you should be careful at night. It's best not to go out. Something is coming."
"What? Is it scary?"
"I don't know what it is. It's best not to get involved when you hear the noise. Take good care of your mother. It's not easy for her."
"Thank you for the reminder, we will pay attention."
Hermione opened the horizontal board and looked outside. Could it be that someone had come and brought the Japanese into the village? The sense of crisis only appeared today.
Inside the church, Sean and the others lay directly on the benches, with kerosene lamps lit in front of them to illuminate the place. After a friendly interaction with the village chief Vasily, they not only had a decent dinner, but also stayed. Spending the night here will give you a lot of peace of mind.
As the waves continued to rock the passenger ship, some windows on the top were left with a little light, and the green light lit up under the sea water. A bone claw stretched out from the sea and clung to the outer wall of the passenger ship and climbed up.
A broken skeleton was separated from the sea water. The bones were stained with a little rotten and blackened flesh. The left hand was holding a ball of green light, and there was still more flesh and blood attached to the legs.
The skeleton climbed onto the passenger ship, its empty eye sockets seemed to be able to see the scene in front of it, and it came to the cabin door and kept beating it. The crew on duty inside was a little strange. They were all so busy. Why were there still people outside? Are the people who went down coming up? Reluctantly, he opened the door, and a strong wind blew in with rain.
"Ah! Ghost!" The crew member on duty was so frightened that he rolled and crawled back.
The skeleton spoke in ancient language, "Have you seen those thieves? They are on this ship. I hope you are not ignorant."
