"Huh?" Koizumi Hongzi noticed the branch, floated forward and looked at it, her eyes were shining, "It's a high-level magic material with concealment properties! The powder can be used to make a concealment cloak, which was impossible to find in our time. Here’s the treasure!”
Chi Feichi: "..."
Hongzi can't take the things away, so Hongzi doesn't need to be so excited.
Moreover, this thing may still fall into the hands of the Holy See in the future. .
In the corner, Phoebe and the boy watched for a while, picked up the branches on the ground, and left quietly into the night.
On the way, Chi Feichi drifted back into the bone jade.
Not long after, Koizumi Hongzi also followed in, "Is this thing some kind of treasure? I tried it just now, but I can't seem to leave the area. Maybe it's some kind of treasure that can absorb consciousness..."
Chi Feichi said nothing, trying to control the airflow through the holes in the bone jade, or block the holes.
In the past, when he was alone, he rarely made a sound. The bone ringing caused by his voice was sometimes an early warning to the Montgomery family, and sometimes it was a sign of approval, or an expression of dissatisfaction with a certain sentence.
Now he needs to chat with Koizumi Hongzi, and while Phoebe is on the run, he can't let the bone jade ring at every turn, so as not to affect Phoebe's judgment.
Since he can control the bone jade to make different sounds and even form melodies, and it has nothing to do with the volume, tone, or words of his words, he should be able to go one step further and make the bone jade not make any sound...
"What are you doing?"
Koizumi Hongzi asked curiously. Seeing that Chi Fei didn't answer, she endured her temper and looked at the street outside through the hole.
After Chi Feichi recalled the feeling of controlling the sound of the bone jade in the past, he tried to make it difficult for air to penetrate through the various holes of the bone jade, "I am trying not to let the bone jade ring because of my words."
This time, Guyu still rang, but the sound was much lower, which caused Phoebe to become confused again. She asked Guyu in a low voice why the sound was much weaker, whether it was sad or uncomfortable.
When Koizumi Hongzi saw Feibi's reaction, she immediately understood why Chi Feichi stopped Guyu from speaking out, "She really cares about Guyu's voice. You can go ahead and I won't disturb you anymore."
Chi Feichi re-experienced the internal structure of the bone jade little by little, and tried it for a day and a night.
But time flows quickly, for him and Koizumi Hongzi, it only takes half an hour.
Phoebe and her younger brother and sister who ran out together hid in the hut, communicated for a few words, woke up from sleep, and went separate ways. At noon, Phoebe brought back a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other two also brought One or two people of various ages came back.
Koizumi Hongzi couldn't quite understand some words, but she could understand some. Based on the situation, she guessed what Phoebe was doing, and also understood the meaning of some pronunciations. By the way, she informed Chi Feichi, "Son of nature, Phoebe." Bi said that the Vatican seemed to be looking for bone jade. The Vatican suspected that the bone jade was hidden in the elder tree of Montgomery's house. It wanted to catch those who escaped from Montgomery's house and went back to interrogate them. It seemed that someone was caught. Fei Bi contacted the person who ran away and wanted to go back to save him... By the way, the Holy See will be destroyed if it doesn't get it. If they burn the elder tree, what will happen to us?"
"The bone jade is here with Feibi," Chi Fei Chi said, "That elder tree was transplanted by Sandy back then. It's just an ordinary tree and has nothing to do with the bone jade. Maybe I was enjoying the shade on the tree back then. When Lawrence saw me, he always thought that I liked that tree and always took me to rest under that tree. From word to person, it became known that the bone jade came from that elder tree."
Sometimes, historical legends are subtle.
Just like the ghost doctor Diana can turn into a glorious goddess, if it is passed around, the final result will be very different from the truth.
"That's good..." Koizumi Hongzi found that the bone jade didn't ring and asked in surprise, "Did you succeed?"
"Well, I can barely control it." Chi Feichi said.
"That's good," Koizumi Hongzi breathed a sigh of relief, "I've been holding it in for a long time. I have so many questions to ask that I almost couldn't hold it in anymore. Fortunately, time seems to flow much faster, but if you are unable to speak from now on, , I will suffocate to death.”
"The flow of time I feel has always been abnormal, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. However, when the bone jade owner encounters a big event, the flow of time will slow down a little." Chi Feichi explained.
Koizumi Anko thought for a while and corrected her sternly, "Elder is not ordinary. It is regarded as the habitat of the soul. Many witches use elder to make staffs. Some elders that have grown for hundreds of years are even rarer treasures."
Chi Feichi: "..."
Understandably, in a resource-poor future, many of the 'ordinary things' here seem precious.
…
The two watched Phoebe's actions.
Unfortunately, the rescue plan failed, another clan member died, and Phoebe and a group of children almost fell into a trap and their whereabouts were exposed.
After the missionary discovered that there were more than ten people left at Montgomery's house, he contacted other helpers and planned to dig up the elderberries and take them back for further cleaning.
Phoebe sensed something was wrong in advance, gave up gathering, dispersed people, and even let some people who lacked talent leave the territory directly.
During this period, Christianity had swept across Europe, and it also had political support. Missionaries vigorously eradicated dissidents. For example, the Nordic myths and legends with Odin as the god were regarded as heresies. Countless books recording the legends were destroyed, and even Anyone who sings it will be tried as a heretic.
The Montgomery family has nothing to do with Nordic mythology, but the Montgomery family, which believes in "natural gifts" and does not believe in the so-called true God, has also become a heretic. Groups of treasures were transported away by missionaries, including elderberries in the herbal garden. It was also dug up by the roots, and what was left was reduced to ashes in the fire along with the residence.
Chi Feichi followed Phoebe, and together with Koizumi Hongzi looked at the burning yard from a distance, and at the boxes of treasures that were pulled away by the carriage, and wondered in his mind how many of the Montgomery family had been for him for generations. The collected novelties were taken away, and many were burned in the fire.
That's a staggering amount.
During the entire witch hunt from the 15th to the 18th century, at least seven or eight families similar to the Montgomery family were wiped out, and the fleeing tribesmen could take away very little. This shows the power of the Holy See. How deep the background is.
After the search for the house and castle was completed, someone else entered the Montgomery family cemetery, destroyed the grave and opened the coffin in the name of 'purifying the place contaminated by demons', and conducted a final and more thorough search.
Phoebe witnessed all this from a distance, and Koizumi Hongzi could also witness this scene, gnashing her teeth in anger and spitting out fragrance.
Chi Feichi thought that the Red Magic family might be treated in the same way, and the Red Magic family became prosperous earlier than the Montgomery family, which meant that the ancestral graves of Koizumi Hongzi's family had been dug up more than this, and he spat at Koizumi Hongzi. Fragrant behavior also shows understanding.
While the carriages continued to transport batches of goods, the missionaries and the witch-hunting generals continued to hunt the orphans of the Montgomery family.
Phoebe put on a black robe to hide her appearance, moving in the dark night like a ghost who could not see the light. Her eyes seemed to be always burning with hatred, and she had to find ways to protect herself in the pursuit, and at the same time save the rest of her life. tribesmen.
In this territory, the Montgomery family has been practicing medicine and being kind to people for generations. Many people are willing to help the Montgomery family's distressed people hide. However, the missionary's cleaning is crazy and arrogant. The monarch is worried about the revenge of the descendants of the witch, so he naturally They were willing to eliminate the weeds, and under this overwhelming pursuit, the Montgomery family members were caught one by one.
For those who helped Montgomery, the church declared that they had been bewitched by the witch and needed to be taught and purified.
Those who are willing to admit in public that they have been bewitched will be included in the trial of burning at the stake; those who are unwilling to admit it are hopeless and thoroughly contaminated vassals of the witch, and must be tried by the stakes along with the witch lineage.
The witch-seeking generals have become real witch-seeking generals. Under the point of the sword of justice, the descendants of the witch who have bewitched people will be captured, and the people who are hopelessly bewitched will also accept the complete purification of the flames. What the resolute eyes look at are all heretics.
Those who obey will live, but those who disobey will be destroyed.
Sadly, some people saw that the situation was irreversible and silently chose to obey and refused to lend a helping hand to the Montgomery family. Others chose to betray.
And stories about witches doing evil are spread one after another. When everyone says that "witches are evil", when everything can be explained logically by stories such as "being bewitched" and "in fact", when this kind of Under such circumstances, more and more people are shaken by their previous beliefs and begin to recognize the statement that 'Mongolian Witch is evil', and slowly become convinced of it.
More and more people are chasing the witch lineage. The scope of activities of Koizumi Hongzi and Chi Feichi is limited to the inside and outside of the house where Phoebe is. This is enough to give Phoebe a warning.
Phoebe was on the run for two years, watching her clan members being arrested one by one, secretly contacting some clan members and victims from other clans, either helping each other, or being killed accidentally, and she became the toughest one in her life.
It's just that Phoebe's brother also died. The eleven-year-old boy was caught, covered in black robes, and regarded as a symbol of evil. Together with the people who helped him hide, he was tied up and sent to the stake, and was burned in the flames. Before lighting it, he kept uttering the most vicious curses to the missionary with a righteous look on his face.
Compared with the compassionate missionaries, the ferocious faces undoubtedly confirmed that wizards and witches are evil beings bewitched by demons. When the flames were lit, they also received a drop of crocodile tears and a sigh of relief.
Phoebe hid in the crowd, clenched her fists and quickly released them. She ran into the wild to find her hiding sister Pelle, and took Pelle further away.
Koizumi Hongzi gradually became silent from the fragrance coming out of her mouth, because she had said everything that could be scolded and cursed, and she really had no words to use, and she also understood that it would not help if she continued to curse.
After helping Pelle live anonymously in a small town, Phoebe said goodbye, the suppressed hatred in her eyes completely burst out, and her handsome face under the black robe was twisted with resentment.
"Pearl, I still remember what my mother taught me, whether it's the ability to heal diseases and save people, or the poisonous skills passed down from our ancestors... Vader is the embodiment of the power of nature. As the god of the forest, he can bring life, but he is also The god of vengeance who pierces the heart of his enemies with a sharp sword, so can I, who believes in nature’s gifts!”
"Can she really become the infamous immortal witch?" Koizumi Hongzi floated next to Phoebe and began to feel uncertain, "Although it is recorded in the classics, it is not detailed. This situation is so depressing. It makes me breathless. Becky died when Phoebe was twelve or thirteen years old. In the past two years, Phoebe didn't learn much from her family, not even the simplest offensive secrets. meeting……"
"I will." Chi Feichi said firmly.
Koizumi Hongzi looked at Chi Feichi's mist in surprise, "You...you know how?"
