Lin Shu handed the reins to Emilia, turned over and got off the dragon bed, and checked. The blood on the ground was still warm.
It seems he hasn't been dead for long.
"Parker, please protect Emilia."
"Ah."
The cat nodded seriously, but Emilia climbed down from the ground dragon and said to Lin Shu, "I'll go too."
Seeing Lin Shu's expression as if he wanted to stop her, she added, "Maybe there are still people alive who I can treat...
"Honestly, I don't want you to see something this bad,"
But seeing Emilia's determined frown, Lin Shu did not continue to stop her.
Although Emilia looks weak on the outside, she is actually a stubborn person at heart.
Lin Shu was not so determined to extinguish even this little hope. He simply took her and Parker for a walk around the village.
Find out if the person who did it has left any important clues.
"It's horrible. Why would you do something so outrageous?"
Emilia said with heartache that there were not only adults among the corpses, but also women and children.
"It can't be that there is no reason to hurt,"
Lin Shu looked at the piece of black cloth clutched in the corpse's hand. It must have been pulled from somewhere before the deceased died. "They must have had a reason for doing this. This wasn't done by one person, but by an organized group."
Emilia bit her lip and said, "But who would attack a group of innocent villagers?"
222 Killing laziness, thanks from the sisters!
"There are many possible reasons. Perhaps they possess information they shouldn't know, perhaps they're after money, or perhaps they simply live nearby."
When Lin Shu said the last sentence, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Are you saying they're actually coming for Leah?"
Parker sensitively grasped the key point that Lin Shu wanted to gloss over.
"It might not be Leah, it could be Roswaal, but ninety percent of the time they're coming for the mansion."
Lin Shu rummaged through the cabinets and showed them to Parker and Emilia: “They didn’t take any valuables, this wasn’t done by robbers.
"Mansion!"
The group quickly left the village and headed towards Roswaal's mansion.
The door of the mansion was open and silent, but the solemn atmosphere and the smell of blood could not be hidden and drifted over from afar.
Although there were not many people in Roswaal's mansion,
But the pair of sharp-tongued maid sisters usually stand there to greet guests.
The carefully maintained gardens were completely destroyed.
Lin Shu, on the other hand, drew the sword from his waist with a solemn expression.
The man standing in the middle of Roswaal's flower bed tilted his head 90 degrees to the side, then suddenly turned towards Lin Shu and the others.
"You are very indifferent."
Lin Shu looked at the holy man in front of him, who was too thin.
Just a layer of skin and bones, wrapped in a black robe.
He has hair that looks weird like cow dung.
Coupled with that skull-like face, he doesn't look like a good person at all.
Of course, if you add the corpses on the ground, Lin Shu already had enough reason to draw his sword.
So he didn't hesitate at all.
Before the other person says the next character.
The man's head slid off his neck and flew away.
Scarlet splash.
Lin Shu held Emilia down and asked her to stay where she was. He walked over with the sword in his hand and stabbed the other person's throat and heart.
After making sure that this guy was indeed dead, Lin Shu looked around and sheathed his sword.
Emilia didn't wait for Lin Shu's nod, and she couldn't wait to walk around him and the corpse on the ground.
Lin Shu still followed Emilia's footsteps faithfully and followed in.
He did not put away his sword because he was worried that there were other enemies lying in ambush in the mansion.
However, when they looked in that direction, they found the entire mansion empty. Not only was there no sign of Ram or Roswaal, but there was no sign of the enemy either.
What's going on? Is the enemy just the one we saw earlier?
probably not.
Lin Shu quickly denied this. When he was exploring the village just now, he clearly felt that there were quite a lot of enemies, otherwise it would be impossible to kill all the villagers so cleanly and efficiently. It was obviously premeditated.
But what they probably didn't expect was that Lin Shu and Emilia delayed their return trip because of the white whale incident, so they ran into an empty goal.
So have they left, or are they lurking around?
"That person just now should be from the Witch Cult." Parker analyzed the current situation.
Lin Shu had also heard of the Witch Cult when he was investigating information related to witches.
They are the fanatical followers of the witch Satira, just like the cultists who advocate the end of the world.
Killing people and setting fires, bringing death and disaster to the world are what they often do.
Because they are called witches and the small leaders in the organization are named after the Seven Deadly Sins, it is easy for people to mistakenly think that they are related to other witches.
But in fact, this organization only worships the jealous witch Satira.
It has nothing to do with the other witches in the past history.
Their only goal is to resurrect the Witch of Envy in this world.
"They're here to find me."
Emilia is in a very low mood now.
She looked as if she blamed all the responsibility on herself and seemed to be in a state of depression.
"Leah."
Parker glanced at her worriedly, his heart aching. Seeing Lin Shu still looking puzzled, Parker whispered to him, "You know Leah looks a lot like the Witch of Jealousy, right?"
Lin Shu nodded.
In fact, people today have never seen what witches looked like 400 years ago. The only characteristic of witches that has been passed down is that they were half-elfs with silver hair and pointed ears.
Although this feature is relatively rare in the human world, there are actually quite a few half-elves with silver hair in this world.
The job of the Witch Cult is to find them and then test them.
"Trial?" Lin Shu frowned.
"It depends on whether the other party is suitable to be the container of the witch's body." Parker said.
Lin Shuyi.
"I heard that 400 years ago, the Dragon God, the Sword Saint, and the Sage joined forces. Although they sealed Satira, they didn't destroy her. So how can Satira be resurrected?"
"Well, I don't know." Parker spread his paws: "After all, how can I put it, although the witch cultists claimed that they acted on Satira's orders.
But Satila herself was imprisoned, and no one knew how she issued orders to her followers.
Many even feel that they are just acting according to the will of the witch, because they are all crazy without exception."
"I see."
Lin Shu nodded in understanding, then turned to Emilia: "Lia, I know you must be very sad right now.
Even putting the blame on yourself for things that shouldn't be yours, but that's not responsibility, it's weakness, you know?"
Emilia looked up at Lin Shu, at the knight who had always protected her. The pain in her chest seemed to soften a little, and she threw herself into Lin Shu's arms with tears in her eyes. "What should I do? Everyone in the village died because of me."
"No, they were killed by the Witch Cult." Lin Shu said firmly.
At this moment, the window on the second floor where they were suddenly shattered into pieces, turning into crystal rain that splashed into the room.
Lin Shu lifted up his long clothes and used them to cover Emilia, as if he had anticipated this.
Then he glanced sideways behind him and said, "So it's very simple. All we have to do is pay the blood debt with blood."
As the broken windows opened, several strange figures rushed into the corridor. They were all wrapped in black cloaks, and it seemed that this image was the standard style of witch cultists.
"You're so lazy...you didn't even listen to the important words before you started.
Unlike the man with the blue face and funny hair (the 3 before 9), the man in front of him is much shorter and younger.
The freckles on his face seemed to prove this, but the tone of his voice remained exactly the same as before.
This time, Lin Shu did not rush to kill the opponent with a sword.
In fact, he wanted to hear what the other party had to say. After all, he had no idea about the newly emerged term "Witch Cult".
This strange man started chewing his fingers in front of them.
