Krafft's Anomaly Notes

Chapter 103 The Messenger
"What's the matter?" Kraft's inquiry came from behind, and his hand was already pressing on his shoulder, and his strength was increasing.

"I'm fine!"

He shook his body, but failed to shake off the hand, and instead tended to tighten it further, so frightened that Kupp quickly declared that he was not distracted.The place where I was pinched just now still hurts, but this time I switched sides thoughtfully, and it will be symmetrical after a while.

After getting rid of the threat on his shoulders, Kupp looked up at the boulder wall again.This image is as tall as two people, and the link strip below that is neither a snake nor an insect is in the center of the bright light of the lamp, and the long and twisted body occupies half of the plane.

It should be the protagonist of the picture, but it has not received enough brushstrokes. The overlapping parts are like scales, which can also be regarded as carapaces.

Inside the long body between several forms, there are a large number of human figures with a few strokes, which are completely different from the wide-faced human figures above the boundary. The former is a batch of simple strokes close to symbols, while the latter is emphasized. Emphatic, individualistic individual.

The facial features deformed by the widening of the face all show a clear distinction, deliberately highlighting the outline details of the realistic style, so detailed that one feels that it is not inferior to a portrait painted in person.

However, he has never seen a person who grows up like this, or it looks more like a flattened and extended look, which is not the case.

The imagery of unidentified orthodox things is compatible with the realistic facial makeup, which strengthens the difference between the two parts, and connects each other through the segmental length at the boundary.

His line of sight also twisted upwards along with the strips, from tadpole-like villains to roughly human shapes, and then to those characters in the upper half of the picture, with different wide faces gradually moving away from the lamp flame.

"William, I have a suggestion." Kraft stopped William who was walking towards the village. Although he didn't understand anything about this painting, one thing is quite obvious:

To light a lamp in the middle of the night without using it is a great waste, especially here, but any such act is associated with a purpose that is not practical.

Analogous to the candles that burn day and night in a church, except for the few necessary for lighting, it is closer to the meaning of worship.This oil lamp may be some kind of approximate purpose, and the image of multiple hybrids and out of normality also satisfies the needs of worship.

It is different from the priority order in the church where the sacred is on top and the figures are placed below; it does the opposite, putting the human figure on the top half and the thing on the bottom.

"Put away your pendants, maybe some people won't like them very much."

The holy emblem amulets with double wings rings on their chests are shining in the firelight. This thing is close to one in the sailor group, and they are very willing to pay for it.The materials are generally mixed with silver, and those like William even use sterling silver, which is so conspicuous that it cannot be more conspicuous.

Kraft didn't think it was a good idea for them to wear this pendant to knock on the door. "For the sake of the gold coins, don't make mistakes at the last step."

"Okay." William raised the neckline, took the lead in taking off the holy emblem pendant and stuffed it into the inner pocket.With him as an example, for the sake of the captain and the reward, the sailors are willing to compromise for a while.

Peter, who had the most pure faith, did not wear any symbols related to the church, which saved him the trouble of convincing him specifically.

After dealing with the problem here, Kraft turned to his subordinates. Kupp was still standing there, his eyes seemed to be glued to the mural, and he hadn't moved away since he saw it.

To be precise, it is the upper part of the stone wall.

"What did you find?"

"I..." Kupp opened his mouth and realized that Kraft was not the only one looking at him. He stopped talking and shook his head to keep up with the team. "I've never seen anything like this before. It's a bit novel."

"Ha, then you will have many novel opportunities in the future." William and the sailors laughed in good faith.They have seen a lot, and a small place that seems to be pagan is not a strange thing. The strange customs and beliefs that can be created by sealing are everywhere, and the ice field is no stranger.

After all, they are all people who want to eat and drink water. Putting aside a little bit of regional differences, heresy is not the same as believing in the devil as the church said. You will understand it after seeing more.

"Don't worry, I believe they recognize this." A golden round metal appeared in William's hands, and was immediately replaced by a silver one. "Well, I admit that they may not recognize the previous one."

The sailors laughed together and followed William to the village, the unhappiness on the mountain road was diluted a lot.A mere horse, not even a human life problem, is not worth worrying about.

Kraft called Yvonne into sight, slowed down a few steps, and waited for Kupp to approach him, keeping the distance from the front of the team, "It's okay now, let's talk."

He turned his head sideways and saw Kupp clasped his hands in front of him, deliberately moving to the right, away from the hammer handle.It seems that they have listened to Kraft's words, but it is not easy to execute.

"I'm not sure." Kupp fell into a mild trance, his wandering eyes didn't seem to be avoiding the problem, but the logic was disturbed by the unsolvable confusion, and self-doubt arose.

At that moment on the mountain road, Kraft did feel something strange, but it was a pity that he couldn't scan anything with his spiritual senses several times. He didn't expect that Kupu had unknowingly fallen into a trick.

Thinking about it now, I'm afraid that this unlucky guy was found so quickly in the salt tide area incident, not entirely because of the well water, but also because of his own "susceptibility", which made him more susceptible to influence and became a weak link.

"Just say it, are you still afraid that I will laugh at you?"

William was slapping on the door panel of the nearest house, and the slapping sound caused a rough female voice in the house to curse, completely drowning out the conversation here.

Yvonne was startled by the sudden noise, and his attention was drawn to it.If you want to talk about something that is difficult to export, it is just right for the two of you now, and there will not be so much space for a private conversation when you get indoors.

"I'm really not sure, it's just an idea." Cooper crossed his fingers, repeatedly denying himself, even reluctant to admit it to Kraft, "It's the ones painted on it...the things that look like faces."

He hesitated to utter the words, and his lips and teeth did not approve of the words he uttered, as if he was struggling with his own contradictions.What makes him hesitate is not to tell others about the idea, but to reject the idea itself, and mentioning it is tantamount to acknowledging its existence.

An empty, shapeless, ludicrous conjecture that, once exported, cannot be left behind, firmly listed among the possibilities.

The strong arm smashed the door to William's face, and the woman in the turban held a pickaxe in her hand to check, and her attitude softened when she saw that he was holding coins.

Since the best communication language is still valid here, and there are local guides to mediate, it may not be difficult to negotiate accommodation.The sailors waved to their teammates who had fallen behind, beckoning Kraft to follow.

"There's one in there, I might have seen it."
