Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

The next day, Suzanne woke up to a commotion.

In a daze, she heard the voices of her parents and Brin, as well as some strange voices.

But she didn't fully wake up, she just turned over and continued to sleep, and then she heard the sound of footsteps approaching rapidly.

Suddenly, the wooden door was pushed open with a bang, and Susanna was startled, and she and her younger sister Elena woke up suddenly and looked at the door.

"Susan, Ailian! Get up quickly!"

It was their parents who broke in.They usually have a gentle personality, and it is rare for them to be so emotional, which makes both sisters have some bad premonitions in their hearts.

"What's wrong? Did something happen—"

"Elena, did Brin bandage the wound on your leg for you?"

Mother hastily interrupted Susanna's question, looked at Elena, and the latter replied in a daze with a nasal voice that hadn't woken up:
"Yeah... what's wrong?"

"Hurry up, both of you, change your clothes and go to the village with us. Brin was caught by the night watchmen and taken to the church!"

Under the shocked eyes of the twin sisters, the father said this sentence with an extremely solemn expression, and then Susannah's whole body was shocked, and she stammered and said:
"But Brin was with us last night and didn't go out..."

"Just now, the night watchmen came here and took her away," the father explained calmly, looking at the shocked Elena, "We don't know the specific reason, we only know that this incident has something to do with Brin It has something to do with bandaging you."

As the father of two children, Jed is also at a loss at the moment.But he could only put those confusions aside, and urged them to change their clothes quickly with a serious expression.

Jade pays the most attention to appearance and cleanliness on weekdays, and he also has strict requirements on his daughters in this regard.But this time, he didn't even have time for his two daughters to wash their faces, so he hurriedly took the family to the church.

Along the way, he and his wife Alma kept admonishing the young girls: don't do strange actions, don't do outrageous things, and think twice before speaking or doing things.

Both Susanna and Elena nodded obediently, and wrote down these complicated words for them one by one.

Because Elena's knee was injured, in order to get to the church as soon as possible, Jed and Alma could only take turns carrying her on their backs, and ran all the way to the church hall.

This is the largest building in the village, and at this moment, the interior of this stone church is already crowded with people.

Almost everyone in the village gathers here.The rows of wooden benches in the center of the hall were already full of people, while more people who couldn't sit down stood beside them, even at the door of the church.

The villagers were chatting in groups of three and four, and some of them were particularly emotional. Even the family living in the remotest place followed Jed and his group to the scene.

The Jade couple held the hands of the two girls, squeezed into the crowd with difficulty, and stood still in a place where there were still some vacant seats.

Scanning the interior of the church, Susanna didn't see the Iselin's family.Like Etherine, they seldom appeared in the public eye, and they didn't seem to like such crowded occasions, so Susannah was not surprised.

What worries her the most is Brin's situation.

Now, the blond maid in their family is being tied with hemp rope, kneeling in the center of the innermost side of the church, in front of the altar.

It was supposed to be the place where the priest led the crowd to celebrate mass, but at this moment, this stiff-faced, gray-haired priest was indeed standing beside Brin, looking seriously at the man who was pinned down on the ground by the night watchmen from left to right. young girl.

He is the only priest in the village of Norson, named Cesar, and the night watchman is a dozen or so young men selected by him who are the most devout in the village.

These night watchmen are the guardians of the church, and even more so, the guardians of Noelson Village—because the night of this small village needs to be guarded by these determined believers.

Seeing that all the villagers who were supposed to be there had arrived, Father Cesar scanned the crowd with a solemn and solemn gaze. His eyes paused for a while on Brin's parents standing in front of the church platform. Then he withdrew his gaze and announced in a deep voice:
"quiet!"

The uproarious church suddenly became silent.At this moment, more than 100 people inside and outside the church all looked at Cesar in unison.

Most of them gave him a look of fiery respect, but some looked confused and disturbed—such as the Jed family, and the most nervous of Breen's parents.

As the most respected person in the village, Cesar was used to such scenes.He stood on the platform in front of the altar without timidity, looked down at the people inside and outside the church at a height slightly higher than the crowd, and said calmly:
"Residents of Noelson Village, I called you here urgently today, for no other reason than to maintain the peace of our village. As you know, there must be evil in the land where people live, even if it is where God is. Eden is no exception."

He paused, and his deep and thick voice clearly spread throughout the extremely quiet church:

"...Under the identification of the believers, we learned last night that this woman named Brin did something suspicious. The night is not safe, even with the protection of the holy lamp, the night watchmen will not Randomly take away 'unconvicted villagers' at night. So instead of catching this woman in the first place, we chose to bring her to church this morning.

"Now, on behalf of the church, I will make a verdict on her actions based on the confessions of insiders—some insiders are invited to come to power."

Following Father Cesar's words, a peasant woman was squeezed out of the crowd.Under Cesar's gesture, she came to the other side, facing the crowd below and Brin's parents who were standing nearest, and said calmly:
"Brothers and sisters! We are all the Lord's children, and we are all equally blessed by the Lord. Here, I will swear to my Lord that I will truthfully tell what I saw yesterday. If there is any falsehood, my soul Will go to hell after death, to be tortured forever!"

This heavy oath caused a few soft exclamations from the crowd below, and also made the expressions of the Jeds and Brin's parents more serious.At this time, Susanna finally saw through the gaps in the crowd that the peasant woman who spoke on the stage was the one who looked at them when Brin took her and her sister home yesterday.

She suddenly felt ominous, and at this moment, a trembling old voice came from the front:
"Jeanna...Father Cesar...What did our daughter do wrong? Why did she keep kneeling like this? Can she get up first before she is found guilty?"

Looking in the direction of the sound, Susanna saw an old man with half-white hair.She immediately recognized that it was Brin's father, and the peasant woman standing next to him who looked similar to Brin was Brin's mother.

Now, the two old men could only stand in front of their kneeling daughter and look at Father Cesar with pleading eyes.

Under their nervous gaze, Father Cesar did not agree to the couple's request, but sighed softly: "...Go on, Jeanne. Tell what you see."

"I saw that the daughter of the Jade family was injured, but Suzanne only took her home without asking the church for help, which made me a little worried."

The peasant woman named Rangna continued, her eyes deliberately passed over Brin's parents standing in front of her, and her pretended solemn expression became a little more nervous:
"I was worried about the girl's injuries, so I followed them back home, and I saw that Brin actually used water to wash her wounds on her own initiative-not only did she not ask the church for holy water and holy oil, she didn't even use salt. Come to disinfect the wound! Brin is a believer with us, how could he do such an unreasonable thing! If it is because of this that the girl named Elena is taken advantage of by the witch, then what should I do!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the audience, and even Brin's parents changed their expressions, asking their daughter in a nervous whisper:
"Brin, is what she said true? How could you clean Elena's wound in private?"

"Yesterday it was already late, and the second lady hadn't eaten yet, so I thought about taking her back first, then dressing her up briefly, and letting the church handle it the next day..."

Bryn explained softly.Even though she was tied with hemp rope and knelt on the ground by night watchmen, the young girl's expression was still calm, and her eyes were calm:
"I think cleaning the wound in time can make her feel better, and Elena would definitely prefer to rest at home rather than lying down in the church - if we went to the church to ask for help at that time, it would definitely be too late to go home before dark. "

There were bursts of sighs from the commotional crowd below the stage.Just when Father Cesar was about to speak again to maintain order, a young man sitting on a wooden bench suddenly raised his hand and stood up, refuting loudly:
"Brin, how can you say that! As an adult, you can't know how fragile an injured child is! My child was sent to the church by the witch because he couldn't send it to the church on the same day. The fever lasted all night, and she was delirious that night. Even at the moment of dawn, we brought her to the church, but the holy breath of the church and the healing of Father Cesar failed to bring her back to us around..."

As the man spoke, he became more and more heartbroken, and finally choked up. Looking at Brin, he scolded her angrily:

"You attended the funeral of that child at that time, so you must know why. Since you still have time to seek help from the church, why did you choose to go home before the sun set?! Brin, you must be possessed by a witch Dead! You want Elena to be infected by the witch's breath, and let this child become one of you... No, you just want to kill her directly!"
