Why is My Second Dimension Weird?
Page 426
Xu Ming was welcomed into the room by the woman, who asked him to sit down at the table.
After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Ming learned the woman's name - Isabel Dalk from the woman's mouth.
During the chat, Xu Ming pretended to ask casually.
"Ms. Isabel, has something happened in your village recently? Everyone seems to be very nervous."
Isabel didn't seem to notice that Xu Ming was probing, and a trace of sadness appeared on her face immediately.
"Since the child was given by the cursed British... the British have often come to our village to make trouble, and recently several families' children have also disappeared.
Everyone suspected that the British or their mercenaries did it, so they were very wary of foreigners. "
"A child disappeared around here!?"
Xu Ming was shocked.
Isabel didn't seem to notice Xu Ming's strangeness, and lamented:
"Yeah, at first it was just a vagrant nearby, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, in this world...
It wasn't until half a month ago that the Rockland family's youngest son suddenly disappeared at night that everyone felt something was wrong. "
There was a trace of sadness in Isabel's eyes.
She didn't notice the shock in Xu Ming's eyes.
During this period of time after Joan's death, all the appalling events happened in France:
Joan's former comrade-in-arms, the retired Marshal Gilles de Rais, captured children near his territory, tortured them cruelly, and even used them as sacrifices for human experiments and evil rituals.
In the history of Xingyue World, this person was greatly stimulated after the death of Joan of Arc, and even got a book of evil spirits bound in human skin from somewhere, fell into evil ways, and became a Totally insane.
What Xu Ming entered was the trial world of the Caster class. Based on various clues, his target is probably the crazy Marshal Jill.
Xu Ming decided to ask for proof, so he pretended to say casually:
"I heard that the comrade-in-arms of His Highness Joan of Arc, Marshal Gil, has also moved to the vicinity of Domremy. I haven't seen him for many years. I don't know how he is doing now..."
"Marshal Gil not only moved the castle nearby, but also exchanged territories with other nobles.
Thanks to him, we have repelled several British attacks.And our family has also received a lot of care from the Marshal in the past year~"
When Marshal Jill was mentioned, a smile appeared on Isabel's face immediately.
That smile was a mixture of admiration and gratitude.
A strange look suddenly appeared in Xu Ming's eyes.
On dog licking, Xu Ming would call Marshal Jill the strongest!
Not to mention all kinds of licking during Joan's life, after Joan's death, in order to revive her, she fell into a cult, sacrificed children and did human experiments.
Moreover, in order to be close to Joan's former residence and take care of Joan's family by the way, he even exchanged territories with other nobles.
You must know that Domremy is not a high-quality territory.
Not to mention the natural disadvantages such as low grain output, infertile land, and no special crops.This fast territory is still close to the enemy-occupied area, and the enemy troops will come to fight the autumn wind from time to time.
Unless the head is showing off, it will change this territory.The nobles who exchanged territory with Marshal Jill would probably wake up laughing when they fell asleep.
Xu Ming's conjecture was also confirmed by Mrs. Isabel.
In order to revive Joan of Arc, Marshal Gil moved to Domremy, and has fallen into evil ways, and began to abduct children and use them for human experiments.
This trial mission is probably for Xu Ming to eliminate this blackened French Marshal.
Ding!
Sure enough, after Xu Ming collected a lot of clues, a system notification sounded in his head.
——Caster Class Trial: Believers of Evil Gods (Five Stars)
Mission objective: Eliminate the fallen Marshal of France and reveal his crime and evil true colors.
Seeing the mission requirements, Xu Ming couldn't help frowning.He really didn't expect the difficulty of the trial task to be higher than he expected.
It is not difficult to kill Marshal Jill, just find him and A will go up.The hard part is exposing his crimes.
It is impossible for him to rush directly in front of the villagers and tell them loudly that your new lord is a cultist who is using your children for human experiments.
You see, do these 'simple' villagers believe in him, the black-haired and black-eyed stranger, or the French hero who defeated the British, a noble lord.
The respect in Lady Isabel's eyes was not false.
In the eyes of the villagers, the current Marshal Jill is the spokesperson of Wei Guangzheng, the light of righteousness.
If Xu Ming wanted to slander him, he was afraid that the villagers would rush up and tear him to pieces before he even opened his mouth.
I can only find a way to find the evidence of Marshal Jill and expose his true colors in front of the villagers.
This missing child case is an excellent opportunity.
As long as you touch it, you will leave traces!
Since the system wants him to be a detective, he'll make a temporary guest appearance.
Time passed quickly, and the sun gradually fell from the western horizon.
quack~!
There was the sound of crows chirping.
A black crow stood on a tree not far from Joan's house, looking sideways at Joan's house.
The crow's dark pupils are reflecting the scene in the window: Xu Ming is sitting by the window, talking with Mrs. Isabel...
Soon after, Joan's father returned home with Joan's brothers.
After a brief introduction, Joan of Arc's father also treated Xu Ming, an uninvited guest who claimed to be Joan of Arc's comrade-in-arms, indifferently.
Perhaps in the eyes of parents, those who drag their daughters to war are not good things.
But in order to complete the task, Xu Ming could only stay at Joan's house with the cheek.
Just like this, Xu Ming bit the bullet, ate dinner under the strange gazes of Joan's family, and then stayed down cheekily.
Xu Ming could see that Joan's father, Mr. Jacques Darc, hesitated to speak several times, and wanted to throw him out, but Mrs. Isabel secretly stopped him in the end.
And facing her "cheek-skinned" uninvited guest, Mrs. Isabel actually arranged a room for him to live in.
I have to say that this lady is really a kind and nice person.
In an extremely dark room, a man wearing a colorful robe who looked like a poisonous snake stared at the crystal ball on the table in front of him without blinking.
His palms are skinny, his nails are sharp, his face is pale and shriveled, and his eyes protrude like frogs, giving him the image of an evil wizard.
If you look closely, you can see that there is actually a picture in the crystal ball.
What was reflected in the picture was a house, and Xu Ming, who was sitting by the window, was right in the center of the picture.
Looking at Xu Ming with black hair and black pupils in the picture, an unfathomable smile appeared on the man's face...
After dinner, the sun had fully set.
It was almost dark outside the windows, except for occasional candlelight in one or two rooms.
Xu Ming played with his mobile phone. The nightlife in the Middle Ages was boring and boring. Apart from exercising with crabs, there was basically nothing else to do.
Fortunately, his mobile phone is a black technology of the system, and it can still connect to the Internet, otherwise he would be really bored to death.
The room Mrs. Isabel arranged for him is located in the attic, which is said to be the room where Joan of Arc once lived.
The attic is very simple, there is almost no dust on the furniture, and there is no trace of musty smell in the air, which shows that someone often comes to clean and ventilate.
The decorations that can be seen everywhere in the room are crosses.A one-meter-high, white-painted cross stands against the wall, which is usually used for prayers.There are also two or three carefully polished small hand-held crosses on the bedside table and on the desk.
From various details, it can be seen that the former owner of the room was indeed a devout believer.
Xu Ming played with his mobile phone for a while, then lay down on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.
He had a premonition that something might happen tonight.
Suddenly there was a soft sound outside the window.
Xu Ming got up from the bed, rushed to the window quickly, and looked out the window cautiously.
It was pitch black outside, with only sporadic pale moonlight shining on the earth, bringing some light.
Xu Ming glanced around, and there seemed to be nothing unusual around Joan's house.
Did the wind blow something to the ground?
Just when Xu Ming was about to give up, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a blurry figure on the street outside.
coming!
Xu Ming was shocked immediately, and began to observe carefully.
For this reason, he even activated his spiritual vision.
Soon, under the boost of Spirit Vision, Xu Ming could see clearly.
The guy who was still wandering around the village without sleeping most of the night was a thin child wearing only pajamas.
What's even weirder is that the child wobbled and wobbled as he walked, as if he might fall at any moment, and looked like a zombie from a distance.
Looking at the child who seemed to be sleepwalking, Xu Ming's mind was spinning rapidly.
Legend has it that there are many evil spells in the West that can detain people's souls and turn people into walking corpses who can only obey the orders of the casters.
Could the child in front of him be Marshal Jill's target tonight?
Xu Ming decided to follow and take a look.
It would be best if the evidence of Marshal Jill's practice of evil witchcraft can be caught, but if not, at least he should find out where Marshal Jill's lair is.
So Xu Ming carefully slipped out of the gate of Joan's house without disturbing anyone, followed the child, and sneaked out of the village.
Shasha~!
Xu Ming quietly followed the child, with a slight rubbing sound echoing in his ears.
The two were walking one after the other on the small road outside the village. The ground was covered with gravel, and the road was flanked by wide farmland.
