The Age of Machines

Chapter 84 Shadows of the Past

Beixi walked out of the store, and didn't leave the store very far. He casually found a nearby pergola for drinking tea, sat on a chair and began to think about problems.

This small town is a town far from the imperial capital.Although remote, the development of the town has been decades or centuries at least.

Then, in a period of development history, there are always some shady things hidden in the darkness.Waiting for the day someone finds it.
Does this town have a sordid history that has been hidden from people for a long time?
Miko undead sin
Beixi thought about it for a long time, and the glutinous rice dumpling also stayed in the store for a long time.

Until Beixi came back to his senses, the glutinous rice dumplings hadn't come out yet.Beixi was thinking about whether to go in and check the situation, and saw that the girl had already run out. After looking around, she saw Beixi sitting not far away, and ran over excitedly and said, "Mary let go."

"Don't you know?" Beixi felt curious.

Nuomi Duanzi came to this town before, and judging by the way she talked with that NPC, the two should be very familiar with each other.That being the case, you should know everything you need to know from that Mary, so why let that NPC tell Beixi himself?
"Mary actually doesn't talk to me much." Nuomi puffed her face, a little embarrassed.

"I only stayed here for more than a day before. It was because of Mary that I saved my life in this small town. She just mentioned to me that this small town has some unknown history and then she didn't say anything else Yes. I will go back later, hehe."

Untold history?Is it the same as I guessed.

"What history?" Beixi was still curious about what unknown things happened in this small town.

"You can ask her that."

The glutinous rice dumpling giggled.

Beixi nodded, and the two walked towards the shop one after the other.

At this time, Mary was holding a flower in the portrait and was in a daze. Seeing movement at the door, she subconsciously snorted and turned her head.

When Beixi and Nuomi Duanzi approached, he turned around with a face of reluctance, and sat in the flowers facing them.

"I'll just say it once, if the two of you really can't do it, leave the town and never come back!"

"Speak." Beixi knew that this NPC was not malicious.

Mary snorted coldly and spoke again.

After that, for the rest of the time, Mary told a story about this town that had been buried in deep darkness long, long ago.

70 years ago, the small town of Ferrero was still an underdeveloped town.This town does not produce rare gemstones like the famous jade town-Shicheng, and it does not have an endless sea of ​​flowers like Forli Town, and it is not close to the sea, and there is no delicious seafood or rare gemstones. the pearl
This small town is neither famous nor distinctive. Many people don't even know that there is such a small town in the far east of the Falling Curtain Forest.

Despite this, the people in the small town are still tenaciously alive.And in the small town, there is such a group of women who have lived in the small town for a long time.They have beautiful long black hair, charming eyes like agate, and enchanting dancing postures, and their every move can charm people's hearts.

They are called 'Mayan witches', descendants of the great priest, but because of the loss of blood, they no longer have the power of the priest.Even without the powerful power of the witches, the apostles of the gods still make the people of the town revere them.

Until, the arrival of a lonely nobleman.

He fell in love with the beauty of the witches in the town, and found the mayor to conspire with them.Under the double temptation of profit and beauty, the mayor sinks into the bright future described by the man.

Power and wealth, beauty and benefits.

The scale is tilted, and the evil side of human nature is gradually exposed.The mayor is responsible for using his prestige to suppress the incident, and the lonely man is responsible for contacting some nobles he knows.

Then, planning slowly begins.

The mayor and the man worked together to arrest the witches who had lost their strength and could not resist one by one. At the same time, in order not to let others suspect, they planned a disappearance case that shocked the town and outside.And the missing people are all women.

The fair-looking women in small towns were sold to some remote areas, and the witches were sold to some nobles at high prices.

But the number of witches in the town is limited.More than a dozen witches could not allow the two to enjoy more benefits. Therefore, the two left a witch for each of them to bear offspring for themselves.

The blood of the witch, the children born are all girls.

This and the discovery made the man and the mayor ecstatic.However, the successive disappearances of the witches also made one of the witches vigilant, and that was Meslia, the purest bloodline of the witches.

Why is the witch who has lost her power still revered by the people in the town?Because although it has lost its powerful power, some special powers are still weakly preserved.

Meslia has unusual magic power, and it can be said that among the witches in the town, she still has the most magic power.Just when she discovered the conspiracy between the man and the mayor and was about to expose it to everyone, the man and the mayor took one step ahead and drove her into the abyss.

The defiled witch is no longer pure. If at this time, the missing girl is lying in the witch's house covered in blood, and the mayor leads a group of people to break into the house to see it. All of this, regardless of Meslia No matter how you say it, the people in the small town no longer believe it.

Evil Miko!Killed dozens of female lives!Her hands are covered with blood, she is evil, she must be punished, and give an explanation to the dead women!
In the center of the town, a high stake was erected.Meslia was handcuffed on a wooden frame, no matter how she explained, no one chose to believe her.Already abandoned?

The mayor was laughing below, and so was the man who defiled himself.

People cursed angrily and threw eggs and stones at her.The boy ran up, hugging Meslia and crying loudly.

How could a pure and kind witch do something harmful? Have you forgotten that a witch once saved a dying person?Have you forgotten that the witch used to run around for the development of the town, praying for everyone's health?
The appearance of the child stunned the residents, and for a moment, they seemed to be thinking of everything the witches had done for the town.

The mayor stood up again.The anger of the people who justly spoke their lies was provoked again, and the flames were ignited in the dark night.

It seems that people believed that the raging fire could burn the witch's evil spirit.

It is said that the fire burned for three full days before the witch's body was burned.

At the moment when the body became a pile of ashes, the fire also burned away the fear in people's hearts and brought peace.Is it time to end all this?No more victims?
However, this is just the beginning.

The corpses of sold witches will not rot after death, and no matter what method is used, the corpses of witches cannot be disposed of.

The culprit who was amazed by this had to find a place to bury the corpses of the dead witches, and then let them fend for themselves.

Along with the bodies of some ordinary women who defied themselves were also thrown in that place.

In the months since Meslia's death, no one in the town has gone missing.But the news of the woman's disappearance came from the nearby town of Komalo.

People are in panic all day long, and young and beautiful girls dare not even go out at will.

Until a woman who was sold out escaped from the hands of the trafficker and told the truth one by one.People suddenly realized that all the culprits turned out to be the mayor respected by the residents.

When people rushed to the mayor's house with weapons, the mayor and the men were still planning to change to a new planned location.Got caught!

Not only that, people also found several detained women in the basement of the mayor's house, many of whom were teenage girls.

Moreover, what surprised people the most was that the child who called the mayor "Dad" actually had long black hair and a pair of agate eyes.

What a familiar hair and eyes!
It's like reminding the people in the town that they are the murderers.Because of their stupidity, how many young girls were buried in the hands of these two demons.

Thought it was over?

No, it doesn't.The witches were all dead, and the mayor and the man insulted the witch, but the child she gave birth became the pain of the whole town.

Ferrero has the cleanest spring in the world, so as people discovered this, they began to brew wine.

Subsequently, the small town of Ferrero gradually developed and became famous for its delicious beer.We welcome more and more travelers!
Children with the blood of witches have become the focus of travelers because of their natural beauty.More of the past begins to be unearthed!

The town's reputation has grown in recent years. If people who come here know that the town has such a dirty history, will travelers still come to this town?The development of the town may be blocked here!
This cannot be allowed to happen!
For the development of the town, the new mayor discussed with everyone in the town one by one.

Send the child with the blood of the witch to heaven in advance!It was said to the outside world that they with strange eyes got an infectious disease and died not long after.

They died, and the people in the town shut their mouths one by one.No more mention of what happened that year, everything was buried.

Until a year ago, a magical power enveloped the small town, and the people in the small town fell into a deep sleep. Once the passers-by stepped inside, they would also fall into a deep sleep.

Living things lose their life, and dead things are born again.

However, Mary knew.

It's all because of Meslia.This is revenge half a century late!

"Are you sure it was Meslia who did it?"

"Only she has that kind of power." Mary sighed, and said again: "And I have seen her."

"The mayor and that man are going too far." Nuomi Duanzi frowned with disgust on his face.

Beixi asked Mary. "Why do you know so clearly?"

Mary smiled. "The whole story, I saw it from beginning to end. It's been 70 years. There's nothing I don't know."

Beixi raised her eyebrows and smiled. "Antique from the 70s?"

Mary wanted to refute Beixi, but she couldn't think of anything to object to. She was indeed a 70-year-old painting and simply snorted coldly, showing an expression of 'I don't want to talk to you'.

Beixi didn't care. "How can I meet Meslia?"

Unexpectedly, Mary smiled strangely. "During the day, the favorite time of the undead."

When Nuomi Duanzi heard Beixi's question, he couldn't help but sit up straight, and looked at Beixi stiffly.

"Then wait until night!"

Like a thunderbolt, it fell on him!

Nuomi Duanzi wanted to cry, but she couldn't say that she wanted to go back.

What to do at night! !
　I am even more exhausted today.Ask for tickets to collect!
