After understanding the reason why outsiders were not welcome, Wu Ming was a little confused as to what expression he should make.
We openly interrupted the witch trial ceremony and beat up all the townspeople who participated in the witch trial. No wonder those townspeople looked like they wanted to eat us alive.
The expression of the landlady also became a little complicated, she looked angry and a little weird: Well, this is not the only reason why they are so hostile to outsiders.
Are there other reasons? Wu Ming looked at the boss's wife who was so angry and hesitated to speak, and he was a little confused and then asked.
Alas, it’s actually not something that’s hard to talk about. In fact, there was a priest in the town from a big city some time ago, and it was he who was responsible for the witch trial in the town. Originally, when the trial was interrupted, the enlightened young man who did not believe in the witch initially tried to save the person first and then solve the problem through negotiation. But it was he who stood in the way and incited the devout old diehards to clash with the young people. In the end, the strangers came and beat up the old diehards.
Although those old diehards are easily instigated, they are not stupid. After being beaten up, they began to wonder if they were being used by the priest. So now many townspeople are wondering if you outsiders are. They secretly colluded and deliberately came to the town to cause havoc.
Now Wu Ming finally understood why no one in the town wanted to see outsiders.
What about the flute-playing murderer? Just leave it alone?
How is that possible? As if she was afraid that the existence of the murderer would scare away these outsiders and affect her business, the landlady shook her head repeatedly and said: Now our smart and capable town mayor is organizing manpower. Every day, the town boss is calling on the townspeople to join. Together, they uncovered the murderer who was endangering the town. The town's police chief, doctors at the clinic, and many young people responded to the town mayor's call and spontaneously formed a night watch team to patrol the night every day. Now it is safe at night It’s been a lot, but I haven’t heard the flute sound that disturbs people in the middle of the night.
I didn’t expect that your mayor is quite young and promising. Wu Ming nodded as he listened. When is the most popular time in your town? If possible, I would also like to help and do what I can. I hope this can improve the town's impression of us. After all, we still have to live here for a while, and we don't want to make the relationship too tense.
When he said these words, he had been controlling his expression, trying his best to behave like a warm-hearted foreigner, and making his words more convincing.
You foreigners are really complicated. You are not planning to live here permanently. As for having a good relationship with everyone, it is really strange that the landlady stared at Wu Ming as if he were looking at some rare species. Then she looked away and raised her eyes. He clicked the clock on the wall: It's about this time. He and the pastor will call everyone to have a wedding in the church. After the church is over, everyone will go back to their homes in time for dinner. But if you go now, you won't be able to catch up.
We are in *** right now, so why don’t you go?
I? The landlady was stunned by what Wu Ming said, and then she pointed to the banknotes on the table, with a money-obsessed light in her eyes: How can money be important in this town? Wait until I finish counting the money. Say it again
Wu Ming:
While Wu Ming stayed in the hotel to inquire about information from the proprietress, Alex, who had split up, was also running around the town with Otto, heading towards a landmark building in the town. When he met the proprietress They had briefly walked around the town before and got roughly familiar with the surrounding environment and buildings. Since the town is not very large and the distribution of buildings is not very complicated, so now Alex is not
Soon he brought Otto to the door of a small church. When they arrived, the town hall had ended, and the young people who were willing to come to the church to hang out were leaving one after another. In order to avoid getting into trouble with the townspeople. The conflict caused unnecessary trouble. Alex and Otto hid aside to avoid the townspeople who came to participate in the massacre. After the last person left, they returned to the door of the chapel.
This is the only church in the town. Although the scale is definitely not comparable to the cathedrals built by the princes and nobles, it is also a small church with an internal space that can accommodate the residents of the town to listen to sermons and worship at the same time. Only this small church is now
It is very dilapidated, perhaps due to the limited financial resources and manpower of the town. This church has not been repaired for many years. Many of the bricks on the exterior wall of the church have cracked, making people feel that there are some hideous and terrifying cracks outside. On the wall, the church looks a bit more crumbling. The glass inlaid in the leaf-type windows is only the cheapest white glass. Some windows are even empty without glass inlays.
Why did you bring me to the church when you had nothing to do? Otto looked at this shabby little church, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes and whispered: Do you want to drag me into the church?
Alex did not answer the other party's question. He walked through the church door first and walked into the chapel inside: go in first and then talk.
Hello! You should wait for me! Did you know that you are so big that you walk very fast? Seeing the old hunter walking into the church with a heavy back and two steps, Otto finally reacted and shouted louder, and then walked in quickly.
So I think it’s better not to act rashly
But have you ever thought about it, if we can no longer catch the piper, the situation may become even more frightening.
As soon as Alex entered the chapel, he heard two men talking in low voices, but the two men immediately stopped communicating after seeing him come in, and the old hunter also saw at a glance that they had just stopped talking. Two people communicating.
The two of them looked young at most. One had blond hair and blue eyes with deep eye sockets. He was wearing a white shirt, a brown vest, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He looked like a talented person, shrewd and capable, while the other He has ordinary brown hair and brown eyes but has a gentle and approachable temperament. He is dressed in the attire of a clergyman and has a cross necklace hanging on his chest. He looks like he should be a priest in the town.
However, Alex keenly noticed that there was a lingering haze on both of their faces, as if they had been worried about something.
When these two people saw Alex appearing at the door, their breathing stagnated for half a second. The latter's honor was so lethal that normal people would feel frightened when they saw him, let alone seeing him unexpectedly. The two people came from outside the door and approached them step by step.
That kind of pressure is no less than facing a savage beast.
Hello, I am a traveler from another country. But obviously Alex also knew that he was a little scary, so he quickly explained before the two of them were frightened: Please don't be afraid, I don't mean any harm, I just want to seek help here and see if I can be found. friend
Oh, the blond man was stunned for a moment, although his mind was full of thoughts: Who is this person? Who is his friend? Why do you have to go to church to ask? These three questions, but his good psychological quality allowed him to quickly react and answer: Hello, I am the mayor of this town, my name is Rogge.
Originally, he almost stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party out of habit, but after seeing the other party's majestic body like a bear and that ferocious face, his hand froze in the air.
I am the pastor of this town. My name is Ilson. The brown-haired young man smiled. Perhaps it was because he had seen a lot of storms as a priest in the town and had experienced many battles. He was much calmer than Rogge. After the initial fright, he looked at Asia a little. Alex, and Otto, who was following the old hunter, asked in confusion, are you travelers who have just arrived in the town?
Yes, we just came to this town today. The old hunter nodded. However, the people in the town seemed not to welcome us and were unwilling to help me find my friends, so I thought of coming to the church to find the priest. Priest asks for help
Rogge also regained his composure at this time, and he smiled a little apologetically: Sorry, a lot of things have happened in the town recently, so some townspeople may have overreacted.
Understandable. Alex also showed what he thought was a hearty smile. Although he was frightened again, the town mayor Rogge still had the courage to take the initiative and said: If you are looking for someone, I'm afraid we can't provide much help. Because something has happened in the town recently, we need to organize people to keep vigil every day, so we may not be able to spare people to help you find your friends. However, there are not many foreigners who have come to the town recently, and some of them have stayed here for a while. For a while, we can roughly describe the characteristics of these foreigners. If your friend is one of them
If it's one, you should be able to find it quickly
But when he said this, Rogge's expression became a little complicated. He thought again of the stranger who made trouble before. Although he was very grateful to her for saving the little girl, he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of the mess she made. Headache.
I'm sorry, there are too many things happening in the town. We are already overwhelmed just to solve the things that happened in the town. We really can't spare anyone to help you find someone. Ilson also said a little apologetically in his tone. , Alex understood this very well, but soon he asked curiously, are there any other foreigners living in the town? Where do they all live? Is it convenient to tell me? Junqu Pavilion
Otto stood next to the old hunter and couldn't say anything the whole time. He could only watch the two of them communicating back and forth. Soon his eyes began to wander around the chapel, and then his eyes fell on Luo In front of the pulpit behind Ge and Ilson.
There should be the priest's pulpit. There is an open holy book on the small table, and several ritual tools with religious symbols are placed on it. A beam of sunlight that penetrates into the church from the skylight illuminates the pulpit. On the ground in front of him, there was a figure wearing a monk's robe kneeling there, bathing in the sunlight. The specks of dust reflected the shimmering light under the sunlight, rising and falling. Then Otto heard Alex's voice. The sound of conversation between Max and the town mayor.
Well, one of the strangers you're looking for lives here.
