Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 154 Are all witches bad people?
Hiss...After reading the last sentence, even Liu Yonglu took a breath of cold air.

Although he didn't know the whole story, nor did he know who this Ilsa was, he probably understood the whole thing.

So...Ilsa's father invited a foreign religious group to visit the monastery.

But her daughter, on the one hand, was concerned about her father's health, and on the other hand, she was bewitched by the witch and wanted to use magic potion to secretly poison the guests in the house!
This is not a very authentic way of doing things.

"Mr. Ricky, could you please move a little further away?"

The two of them gathered together in the dark room to read the diary. The light was dim, and Liu Yonglu's head was almost leaning on Millie Tang's head. In addition, the content of the diary was far beyond Liu Yonglu's expectations.

His nose had turned into that of a calf, blowing hot air into Millie Tang's ears, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

"No matter where I cut it, it's just lit up like that. If I'm far away, I'll be able to see it and become a night owl."

Liu Yonglu was not able to move away, but even moved closer. Mili Tang had no choice but to cover her ear with one hand and continue watching.

Her way of reading was different from Liu Yonglu's. First of all, Millie Tang was able to read ten lines at a glance. They read the last few diaries slowly, but when they turned to the front, Liu Yonglu could not keep up with Millie Tang's speed. Often, he had just finished reading the first two lines when Millie Tang had already turned the page.

This diary records a long period of time. The first part is all about family matters. This little girl named Ilsa is probably only fourteen or fifteen years old.

His father was the first owner of the monastery, named Balde Baldwin. Before the monastery was built, Balde was only a small landowner. He was quite popular in the farms around the monastery. The surrounding farmers all supported him and had a good relationship with him.

Until one day, a religious group came from other places. There were not many people, only about forty or fifty. That day, Balde accidentally fell into the water while helping other farmers repair a waterwheel. It was the people in the religious group who rescued him.

The two sides established contact. At first, the members of the sect only parked their caravans in the woods near Baldwin Manor and lived there, but later Bald reached an agreement with the leader of the sect to build a monastery together.

Also, it was at the end of the Age of Witches, and witch hunting of pagans was increasing.

Millie Tang blinked her eyes. Although she was a descendant of a witch, her family lacked all records about the witch era. Millie Tang suspected that her family did this on purpose.

Just after the monastery was built, a leprosy plague swept across Frostshire. At first, Balder was not sick. He contracted leprosy while helping farmers around to transport patients, and the disease spread rapidly.

The story here continues with the girl’s last diary entry.

"Mr. Rich, I'm afraid there's something wrong with your grandfather keeping you for two weeks."

After reading the diary, Millie Tang put it back to its original place. At the same time, she looked around and guessed that this room was probably Ilsa's original bedroom, but for some unknown reason, it was sealed and turned into a dark room.

"I already knew that Lao Ye'er (an insulting name) had bad intentions, but why is that? You can tell me."

"The diary mentioned that the sect would hold a mass on the night of the full moon. The night of the full moon will be in twenty days."

This inference is reasonable. If Millie Tang was not extremely meticulous and had knowledge of mysticism, it would be difficult for ordinary people to see the clues.

"Then there is another question. Who does this bad old man worship? The god of the witches or the god of the cult?"

"I don't know, because that's all the diary says."

Milly Tang is not defending the witches, but there are indeed countless possibilities for the development of the story. Did the little girl named Ilsa succeed in poisoning? How did her father clean up the mess for her? Did all the pagan groups die?

“Baba…”

Liu Yonglu suddenly had an idea and said.

"Mi Li'er, the diary says that these pagans are not locals, right?" "Yes, they are not even from the Western Continent."

"I know where they are now."

Thinking of the unique appearance of the servants in the manor, Liu Yonglu was 80% certain that the pagans at that time should not have been killed, but at this time they had forgotten their original identities and only considered themselves as servants in the monastery.

"Let's get up early tomorrow and discuss it with Lin Bei. This time, the vacation will be changed to a food-only team building."

Although Liu Yonglu wanted to take the inheritance, he came with three people this time. If someone got wet or Millie Tang wanted to leave, it would be better to keep out of trouble and not drag others into it.

"Mi Li'er, let me ask you something. Where does this witch thing come from?"

The two packed up their things and prepared to leave the dark room when Liu Yonglu suddenly asked.

"Ah? Witches, well... how should I put it, Mr. Richie? During the witch era several hundred years ago, some people did do a lot of... cruel things.

But not all witches were lunatics without conscience. On the contrary, many actually good people were implicated and sent to the stake.”

Millie Tang sighed. Another reason why she stayed in the library of the University of Michigan was that she wanted to find out the truth about the demise of the witches 500 years ago.

"I guess so. There are good people and bad people everywhere. We can't be too absolute."

This is exactly what Liu Yonglu really thinks. Take Tianjin for example. Although most people are nice and enthusiastic, there may also be three or four bad apples.

"Wait a minute, there seems to be something on the ground."

When Liu Yonglu turned around to check the room for the last time, he suddenly discovered a shiny reflective spot in the center of the floor magic circle, just like the glass beads he hid under his pillow when he was a child.

Millie Tang put on gloves and carefully brushed away the clay fragments on the ground. It was the ritual sculpture used to contact the Faceless God. Sure enough, she found a key in the sand.

The key has a simple shape, with a carved hollow decoration at the head, and a cat's eye stone inlaid on it. The reflection comes from this cat's eye stone. The hollow carved pattern is exactly the witch emblem on the corner of the storage room door.

The tail end of the key had an extremely complex structure. Millie Tang could hardly imagine how sophisticated the internal structure of the lock that could be opened with this key must be.

It seems that the magic circle on the floor was also left by the witch. I didn't expect that hundreds of years later, I, the witch, would step into it.

The two of them couldn't figure out the purpose of the key for a while, so they temporarily gave it to Millie Tang for safekeeping.

After all this fun, Liuliu played from 11 o'clock to :, and then they went into the house and fell asleep.

It was not until the next morning that Liu Yonglu was awakened by the sound of slight knocks on the door. He tiptoed to the living room and found that Millie Tang was really tired. He, who was used to getting up early, was still curled up in the quilt and sleeping soundly.

Liu Yonglu slowly opened the door a crack and saw Luo Huo standing outside with dark circles under his eyes waiting for him.

"Ricky, we agreed to study alchemy together."

They both slept soundly, but Rojo stayed up all night. Ricky couldn't wait any longer, and at 9 o'clock in the morning he couldn't sit still any longer, so he came to visit in person!
