"...Thank you for providing this important information, Mr. Carter."

After a moment of silence, the judge nodded.

"I didn't want to say such blasphemous words at first...but don't you mean that the revived dead became so-called ghouls? Among the ghouls you witnessed, it should be Is there a familiar face to you?"

"Um...no, sorry." Carter shook his head. "It was late at night, and it was so far away that I couldn't see clearly. Also, from what I've read in the tradition, ghouls and The dead are different...should? It should be."

"I see. I'm going to report this chain of events to Lord Hopkins. I'm going to recruit men who can keep the vigil and think I can get to - this way!"

"It seems that the next thing has nothing to do with us."

Xia Heng glanced at the judge on the stage, nodded to Matthew and the others, and took the lead to quietly leave the public assembly hall.

"So, what happened last night?"

Robin Hood couldn't help but ask when he walked to a place where no one was there.

"Don't worry. Let me be sure first. There were indeed monsters that attacked the village yesterday, and those monsters were indeed transformed from the corpses of the dead."

"So, that means Miss Tituba also..."

Hearing this, Matthew's expression suddenly became tense.

"She's special, I said it before."

Xia Heng shook his head and said.

"Although she did turn into a ghoul, after defeating her, the spiritual foundation returned to normal. She is outside the village now. If she continues to stay in the village, something will definitely happen, right?"

"This... does..."

"I will let you meet in a while, after all, she can be regarded as an ally or something. Considering her relationship with Chaldea, she will still choose to help you to some extent.

"Well, what does that mean?"

Fujimaru Tachibana tilted her head, as if she could not understand Xia Heng's words.

"There's no point in hiding her real name, but it's better if she tells you herself."

Xia Heng shrugged and didn't say much.

"Anyway, if someone were to stand on the edge of the summoning formation, she might be summoned by fate. It's almost such a heroic spirit."

?? A request for flowers...

"...In other words, is there a heroic spirit who has a relationship with someone in Chaldea?"

Sansong nodded thoughtfully, then raised his head and looked into the distance.

"By the way, that guy seems to be the priest in the village? What are you doing here with us at this time?"

"It's something, you can guess how much."

0 ....

Xia Heng turned around and leaned against the wall, and glanced at the priest trotting over.

"After all, it's easy for the villagers to panic now. It's obvious why they came to the troupe. At least they won't be dragging you into the dungeon."

"Hug, sorry. Are you guys free now?"

It didn't take long for the pastor to appear in front of the crowd out of breath. The shepherd who graduated from the seminary didn't seem to have exercised much in his pure and widowed life.

"Yes, you are free, please say."

"Ahem, ahem."

The priest cleared his throat and looked at Fujimaru Tachibana.

"You are the head of Fujimaru Tachibana, right? I want to entrust your brigade to perform at the public assembly hall tonight." On.

Chapter [*] Fujimaru Tachibana Theater

In the open space beside the square, Fujimaru Tachibana and the others looked at the sweaty priest in surprise.

"Entrust—work? To our Fujimaru Tachibana Theater?"

Mash looked surprised and asked subconsciously.

"...Eh? Was it that surprising? I just wanted to ask a dramatist to act... that's all?"

Seeing everyone froze in place, the priest also wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked in confusion.

"Uh, no, no no. "Six-five-three" Excuse my rudeness."

"Can you tell me why?"

"...Indeed, too. No wonder you're surprised."

It seems that there is no need for Mash to fool or Fujimaru Tachibana to change the subject, and the priest quickly found a reasonable explanation on his own.

"Originally, dramas and novels are noisy worldly pleasures. My original duty is to guide believers and not let them be deceived."

"...No, sorry. I'm not trying to disparage your work-"

Realizing that what he just said seemed inappropriate, the pastor hurriedly shook his head to correct it.

"However, so many tragic things have happened recently. The children in the village are very uneasy, and the parents are not able to take care of them. The worship alone cannot make the believers feel at ease, and I admit it is my ability. Not enough. So, could you please bring the children back to smiles through drama?"

"It turns out that it is because I want to show the children to acting."

Mathieu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"I agree. No matter what, you can't let the children in the village be afraid. What do you think of the seniors?"

"Let's play it, Master. Please make sure to play it. How about you?"

"I, I, I, I know, don't shake me."

"As expected, Master."

Seeing that Fujimaru Tachibana agreed, Nezha happily released the hand that was shaking the other's body.

"...I'm glad you agreed with me."

The pastor didn't know what to say, and after a while he spoke.

"The repertoire of the performance should be selected to suit the village... No no no, I am a complete layman. This is all up to you. Then, see you in the auditorium later."

"...Hey, the priest is quite capable of making his own decisions. Why do people who serve God have such virtues. The priest was also an accomplice in the sentence of Tituba, so he dared to say it."

When the priest left, Robin Hood snorted and said with a displeased expression.

"...I can feel that he also wants to protect the village in his own way...Even if he makes a mistake, it is not out of malice."

After a moment of silence, Sansong couldn't help but retorted.

"There is nothing more terrifying than a fool who works blindly."

"Even so, you shouldn't make fun of other people's failures."

"But what I'm referring to is that being alone with excess self-awareness is unbearable, right?"

"Funny man bickering with handsome man. What a nice view."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Circe laughed.

"Continue, don't stop. Although it can only be done within the range that will not affect others."

"No, no, what are you talking about? Isn't you the culprit of the chaos? Miss Great Witch?"

Robin Hood turned his head and glanced at Circe in the form of Medea, and sighed.

"However, since the Lord Yu 3.7 decided to do so, we can only obey."

Sansong shook his head, helplessly agreeing with Fujimaru Tachibana's previous temporary contract with Circe

"Speaking of which, there is a guy who is quite suspicious."

As if remembering something, Robin Hood knocked on his forehead and said.

"Mr. Carter's background is also confusing. As an oriental scholar, can a retired man be so knowledgeable?".

The first thousand three hundred and fifty-eight chapters are genuine magicians

"...Well, now the drama has started. I don't think anyone will come to disturb us for the time being. Could you please answer me a question?" Standing in the unfamiliar house, Xia Heng glanced at the sinking outside. The sun in the forest.He said to the old man who was standing not far away.

"You and I are not enemies. After all, the Whitleys and I have no conflict of interest. We might as well work together."

"How can I trust a stranger's words?"

The hunched old man stared at Xia Heng with vigilant eyes through his white hair.

"And all the strangers came into my house inexplicably without anyone's permission."

"You can't say that. But maybe I should apologize for trespassing in an alchemist's workshop?"

Xia Heng raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man of the Whitley family.

"There is no need to hide it. You should have expected it to some extent. The situation of the Whitley family is very dangerous. Now in this whole family, only you and your granddaughter Lavinia are left."

"Speak straight, magician."

"Then, Mr. Whatley. I'll be blunt. In about an hour, Judges Hopkins and Mr. Carter will come to the house and send you to the dungeon."

"The reason?"

"Because of your family's reputation in the village, you know it yourself, right? Mr. Absalon Whitley."

Xia Heng pulled a chair from the side and sat down, raised his eyebrows and looked at Absalon, the head of the Whiteley family.

"Even if it's just suspicion, it doesn't prevent them from hanging an alchemist in order to find the maker of the ghoul. They just need to appease the villagers. The Whitley's is the most suitable choice."

"...not to mention, Randolph still hates me, doesn't he."

"Randolph Carter will hate you for your sister and brother-in-law, of course."

Xia Heng patted his cuff and said lightly.

"I know you have a way back, but can you make sure that Lavinia won't be hurt in any way? Just by a captain who has been favored by your family?"

"Then how can I trust you? A 'traveling businessman' who popped up out of nowhere? There's something suspicious about him."

Absalon snorted disdainfully, and his eyes behind the messy white hair stared at each other.

"Maybe so."

Xia Heng disagreed, just shook his head.
