Being too ferocious because of caution

Chapter 549 "The Man in the Painting" Listen

At night.

Noisy footsteps sounded again outside the trialists' room.

There were also some whispers:

"Have you heard that Lord Charles III of the church wants to transform this place into a huge manor and name it Norton!"

"Hiss...that damn witch is worth so much?"

"Haha, what does this mean? Master Clebin has also been knighted! In the future, we will become the subjects of the Marquis!"

"Fuck, really? Doesn't that mean we can get a lot of remuneration in the future and go to Lan Kwai Fong to find girls every day?"

"Of course! You can play with any girl there! Change it every day!"

"Okay... okay, hehe..."

As the two spoke, their voices gradually became quieter, as if they were afraid that people nearby would hear them.

"In addition, there is also a very important news that I won't tell ordinary people."

"Brother, what's the news?"

"Ahem..."

"Oh, I understand, I understand."

There was a rustling sound, and one person took out something and handed it to another person.

At this time, the man spoke:

"I heard that Mr. Clebin is about to marry a noble lady. The lady will be here in two days. If we can take good care of the lady..."

Another person wondered:

"But... isn't Lord Clebin already married to a witch?"

The man slapped him on the head and cursed harshly in a low voice:

"Shut your mouth, idiot!"

"Lord Clebin is a hero of the empire! He is a brave knight who does not hesitate to sacrifice his ego and take huge risks to get close to the leader of the witches!"

"He married that damn witch and got her pregnant just to reduce her power!"

Another person underestimated:

"But it seems that I heard someone say last time that Mr. Clobbin was just for the title granted by the church..."

Bang!

Bang!

The man who took the bribe gave this idiot a few hard kicks!

"You idiot, do you believe this rumor?"

"Let me remind you, Goudan, that Mr. Claibin is now a knight awarded the title by the church himself!"

"Next time if you say anything disrespectful to Mr. Clebin, don't blame me for severing ties with you!"

Goudan covered his body and screamed in pain:

"Got it."

Another continued:

"I heard that the witch will be executed at this place tonight. The Silver Knights will come over to monitor it later, and Baron Clebin will do it himself!"

"When the time comes, you must not say anything random. If you don't understand, just pretend to be dumb. Do you understand?"

Goudan nodded vigorously.

Then, the two voices suddenly disappeared.

Zhao Yi in the room could feel the moonlight coming in from the window lattice. This time, the female ghost did not seal his room.

He opened the door and let the moonlight shine on his face.

The world outside the house is completely different from what it was during the day.

Zhao Yi took a closer look and saw that the place was desolate and dilapidated, like a farm in the suburbs.

Only the overgrown square looked like Norton Hall in the daytime.

A cross stake was driven there.

The surrounding area is quite empty and there are very few people.

Zhao Yi walked carefully in the manor, avoiding some self-defense forces organized by civilians to voluntarily organize armed patrols.

Finally, based on the distribution of people, he quickly located the location of the witch's cellar.

There are many people nearby. If you want to sneak in, you must assassinate them first.

Hidden in Zhao Yi's sleeve was a sharp fruit knife prepared during the day.

Coupled with the skills learned from the Warring States Martial Arts Map, even if his power is weakened to the level of a normal person, it is not difficult for Zhao Yi to kill these ordinary people.

He escaped into the grass, his figure like a ghost under the cover of twilight. In a short time, he solved several guards from key angles, got the keys from them, and entered the cellar.

A strong stench hit my face.

This place used to be a place where cans were stored, and the disgusting sour smell has always been permeated. At the end of the darkness, in the cold corner, a woman was paralyzed.

She clutched her belly and occasionally let out a weak moan.

After seeing Zhao Yi come in, she shrank towards the corner like a frightened bird.

"I have never harmed a civilian."

"You can ask my husband Ke Laibin."

She defended herself weakly.

Because her tongue was cut off, her pronunciation was very strange when she spoke. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell what she was saying.

The constant cramping pain in her abdomen caused the miko's fingers to unconsciously claw at the cold ground, and her fingernails were already bloody.

Zhao Yi approached her, squatted in front of her, and looked at the witch.

In the darkness, her eyes were still so beautiful, exuding a stunning pink color.

Zhao Yi did not speak, but stretched out his hand to touch her haggard face, his eyes calm, as if a god was looking at his people shrouded in holy light.

The gentleness of the palm made the shrine maiden's trembling body gradually calm down.

"Sorry, I can't hear you."

"But you must know that I am innocent...right?"

The miko spoke to herself.

"My crime will be vindicated soon, and my husband Ke Laibin is outside negotiating with people in the church."

"He would tell people in the church that I have only used witchcraft to heal people, and I have never used witchcraft to harm anyone else."

"When they let me out, I will give birth to a lovely child, and then raise him with Klaibin..."

The witch kept talking, and she began to tell Zhao Yi all the big and small things of the past few years.

Zhao Yi sat cross-legged beside her, quietly listening to her mumbling.

This process did not last too long.

The silver knights of the church arrived at the farm, so the people here received Klaibin who returned with the silver knights, and sent people to the cellar to catch the witch.

Only then did they see that the door of the cellar had been opened, and the bodies of some of their guards were also found in the grass.

These people hurried into the cellar in fear, and with the weak light of the torch, they looked at the witch holding her belly and talking to herself in the corner... and a man who appeared at some unknown time.

"Who are you?!"

A militiaman shouted loudly.

Zhao Yi said nothing.

"This man killed our people. He may be the witch's accomplice. Hurry up and tie him up and burn him on the rack together!!!"

A militiaman on the side shouted, and everyone immediately showed a ferocious look to Zhao Yi!

A witch is so valuable.

If her accomplices are caught, wouldn't it be...

ps: I will write another chapter in the evening, and then live broadcast a horror game.

Damn, I was scared to death yesterday. I had a nightmare about being chased by ghosts at night!
