Volume 1 Chapter 52 Aftermath

In the face of Shoggus's doubts, Thor didn't explain, but stepped forward to put Melissa's hands in order, and picked up the dagger that Shoggus threw into the bushes and put it in Melissa's hands.

Melissa, who was holding the dagger at the moment, looked as if she had cut her throat and ended her life, but the hands clasped on her abdomen made her look like she was dying peacefully, but look at the irregular black holes on her body and the distorted smile on her face......

The whole picture suddenly has an eerie sense of horror.

Shivering uncontrollably, Shogues finally saw Thor pull out a round emblem and place it on her chest.

Shogues knew very well that it was the emblem of the 'Brotherhood', which Lorton had only made and sent to him the day before, and the pattern on the emblem was still the work of himself and Waller after racking their brains.

At first glance, the whole emblem looks very old, as if it has been soaked in time for a long time, and there are mottled rust and stains spreading in the corners and crevices.

The pattern engraved on the emblem is slightly convex, and the pattern is smooth and bright, as if this emblem has been pinched in the hand of someone and rubbed day by day, recalling the glory of the past.

The iron insignia has patterns on both sides, but the composition is slightly rough, and you can barely see it.

On the front are two strong arms clasped together, which look like they are wrenching their wrists, representing strength and unity.

The pattern on the back shows three wolves on the plain, one lying on their stomach, one wandering, and one tilting their head to look at the distant horizon, suggesting the Brotherhood's style.

Shaking his head, Shogues roughly thought of Thor's intention to put down the emblem, but he didn't clear his mind for a while.

Thor walked over and put his arm around his shoulder.

"The rest is your role, I believe you can tell a good story, and spread rumors by yourself. Maybe you should put on some makeup, find a few kids or homeless people or something to throw a few copper coins out, and tell the whole of Grey Curtain that the Brotherhood is coming. ”

"Oh, speaking of makeup, or you can borrow a dress from Covier, I want to see your unknown side. ”

"As for now,...... Let's go, first fill in the pit we dug in the cemetery, and then I'll accompany you to the bottom of the well for two drinks. ”

Hughes walked beside Thor with a cold face, and after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Thor .

"Wait, damn it, have a couple of drinks with me, I'm afraid you're the one who needs comfort at the moment, right? You...... How does it feel to kill someone for the first time?"

"Would you believe me if I said I didn't feel anything?"

The constant rolling of his eyes showed that Shogues naturally did not believe it.

Thor wasn't lying, in fact he was surprised that he had been waiting for so long for this bloody sacrifice, and now the ritual had finally begun.

Thor thought he would tear each other apart like a beast, but after seeing Melissa away with his own hands, he suddenly found that he was neither happy nor angry, nor did he want to vomit, nor did he feel any discomfort.

Is it because he has killed Melissa countless times in his fantasy in countless ways, so he is used to it? or, as Hughess said, himself...... It's already a little abnormal.

It's really strange, there is neither the thrill of revenge nor the panic of erasing life in my heart.

...... There was only a stagnant silence.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The courtyard of the monastery is surrounded by a circle of old and old buildings, the one that connects the aisle belongs to the living area, and the side near the cemetery has a few separate rooms for prayer rooms.

The privacy of these prayer rooms is very good, but it is said that sometimes it is rare to use them once a year or two, and often each time they are used by people of high status.

Many people with secrets come here and burn incense and clean their hands in these quiet rooms, silently looking for inner peace.

Of course, if you are in the mood, you can also play some unknown games with a nun under the nose of God.

If you open the door and look into the cemetery from this ashram at the very edge, you can actually take in the scenery within the light range by the lantern in the center of the cemetery.

What Saul and Shogues didn't know was that in the ashram near the cemetery tonight, the door seemed to have been opened by someone, and it had been slightly open.

However, it was already in a blind spot of light, and if there was no oil lamp in the house, even those who lived in the monastery would rarely notice this lonely corner.

After Thor and Shogues left shoulder to shoulder, the door to the dark quiet room closed quietly, and no more sound could be heard.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The hurricane of the monastery came suddenly and violently.

No, it should be said that as Melissa's body was found in the monastery cemetery, a sudden hurricane swept over almost the entire town, and the monastery became the center of the storm.

Rumors were rife on the streets of Grey Curtain Town for a while, and undercurrents were surging.

Swordsman, thief, assassin, tribune.

Mercenaries, hunters, tomb robbers, Inquisition.

It was as if all of a sudden the forces had surfaced, and the monastery had suddenly become more strange creatures.

Looking at the scene in front of them like a pledge meeting before the siege of Warcraft, Thor and Xiugus looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Obviously, the situation got out of control from the start, or far exceeded their expectations. I thought it was just a honeycomb, but I accidentally kicked the rock that blocked the embankment.

Needless to say, take out the humble low-key that you have already prepared.

Even Hughes, who had always been out of the woods, began to participate in prayers and cleaning, and even once argued with an orphan in the Holy Auditorium, and finally defeated his opponent with the phrase 'The glory of the Lord God will shine in all directions'.

It was as if a great pious preacher was about to rise.

All the forces gathered in the monastery, it stands to reason that the head of a town has such a big face?

The answer is, yes, at least in Grey Curtain Town.

Before the collapse of the mighty Baijis Empire, the Frontier Country was part of it.

Later, the Frontier Kingdom was a collection of small territories ruled by dukes and barons.

Today, there are no more countries on this continent, and naturally there are no kings and nobles.

The imperial power was buried in the dust of history, and coupled with the barrier of the dark wilderness, the large and small territories with strong regional autonomy appeared like weeds after the rain, densely covering the entire continent.

In other words, as long as you have a little bit of strength, a few people under your command, a few swords in your waist, go up a mountain, and grab a ferry, you can also be a king, a nobleman, or a lord.

Of course, it's good to entertain yourself behind closed doors. If you are happy to play by yourself, take it seriously, and take it outside and talk nonsense about who you want to deter, it is likely that you will end up blowing up the dog's head.

Now that Melissa is dead, it means that Elton, the mayor of the town, has severed one of his arms holding money. All forces are waiting to see if the old lion's minions are still sharp, where his bottom line is, or whether there is a bottom line.

While waiting and watching, these forces also had to send people one after another to support the old mayor's stinky feet.

Not because of his status as mayor of the town, but because Mayor Elton is the only third-order swordsman in the town, and one of the two third-order swordsmen in the entire territory, alongside Lord Savyn AgrΓΌnton.

He has been in the position of mayor for more than ten years, a little too long, so long that people have almost forgotten what kind of ruthless means he used to sit in the position of mayor.

For smart people, ambition is often directly proportional to strength.

If there is anyone in this territory who has the qualifications and courage to jump out and compete for the position of lord, it must be Elton.

But if he doesn't fight, he's the true god of Graycurtain.

The forces clogged up in the monastery were undoubtedly devastating.

With the cemetery as the center, these people began to radiate around in the name of searching.

The thorns and weeds that had existed in the cemetery for an unknown number of years were removed, the undug graves were dug up, the wealth of the burial was taken away, and the skulls were rolled everywhere.

In the end, even Thor's poor dry well was not spared, and was turned out from under the wreckage of the carriage by these men, and exposed to the public.

But there was nothing at the bottom of the dusty well.

However, there are tracers who are good at dealing with feces and pointed out that there were once fires and traces of life here, and the dust on the ground was obviously created recently.

Unfortunately, his small voice was quickly drowned out, and not even a single bubble was raised.

As the calendar turned and the investigation drew to a close, the group returned their attention to the monastery.

Nuns were stripped of their skirts, deacons were blackmailed, and handymen were beaten.

In fact, they can't be blamed for this, after all, these forces are just rural forces after all.

When they see money, they naturally want to take it, and when it comes to women, they usually only have two attitudes. One is that I give you money and you sleep with me, and the other is that I forcibly sleep with you and then take your money.

With the exception of the obese bishop, the monastery was interrogated from top to bottom. And the poor orphans and miscellaneous servants enjoyed intimidation, temptation, questioning, insulting, kicking and beating in turn.

The storm finally passed, and the forces left.

They came in a hurry, they went in a hurry, and they left behind a ruined monastery.

As for whether this group of people found anything, that's another story.
