When Mandala and Carnation walked into the town of peace, it was already dark and late at night.

Of the five sisters who used to be, now there are two of them left, and the other three girls have their own destinations. Their eldest sister, Tulip, takes Black Thorns to the royal capital, vowing to see the wider world, while Narcissus returns to the rebuilt city of Josson, where she is said to be a helper in a medical hall in the city of Joson, whose name seems to be "The Tuma Family's Hospital".

As for Mandala and Carnation, they met the noble lady through their relationship with Haysjia and the two nuns in the Rescue Charity Society, and returned to the flower grassland with the noble lady five years ago.

Later, the noble lady lost her title of nobility, but they didn't care. Compared with the city of Josun and the town of Peace, the life of the Flower Prairie is truly comfortable, and they live in the largest manor in the Flower Prairie at the behest of the noble lady.

In the flower meadow, their daily work is to take care of the gardens in the manor. Taking care of the garden is not easy, not only do they have to recognize the habits of each flower, but they also have to be responsible for the watering and fertilization of each flower.

But it's all very fulfilling.

There are tulips in the garden, daffodils, and black thorns, and when they see these flowers, they feel that their former sisters are by their side.

Although they had to be confined to the manor for most of the five years because of the plague that spread across the flower meadows, they still felt content. Without any family, how could the mandala and carnation, who are drifting away for their lives, not cherish such a comfortable time?

They knew that all this was the beautiful, gentle, virtuous and dignified noble lady, who took them in, and it was the noble lady who gave them this comfortable life.

They repay each other with diligent work. Hajvi Yakel's name was stripped of his name, and one servant after another left the manor, leaving only a dozen or so men.

Mandala and Carnation were among the dozen or so, and they thought to themselves that as long as the noble lady did not chase them, they would always take root in the Arker family.

But just a week ago, the noble lady quietly left the manor. Frustrated, they saw a handwritten letter left by a noble lady.

In just two simple sentences, the epistle reads as follows:

"The plague that pervades the flower meadows is gone, and all the people in the manor are free to come and go. I went to visit my daughter in a peaceful town, and I didn't need servants and attendants to follow me. ”

After seeing this letter, how could Mandala and Carnation not know the thoughts of the noble lady - she was afraid of the tiring journey and didn't want to trouble everyone!

After consulting with Torrey, Sister Dummès, and several of the manor's servants, they decided to let the two young girls, who were the fastest on their feet, follow in the trail of the noble lady.

The two of them were still slow, even if they were about to reach the peaceful town, they did not catch up with the footsteps of the noble lady.

At this moment, the two of them couldn't help but sigh as they looked at the street in front of them, which was both familiar and unfamiliar.

After a week's worth of driving, anyone couldn't hold on. As it was late at night, they decided not to disturb the noble lady for the first time, and instead found the only inn in the peaceful town.

They walked into the hotel, which was still open in the middle of the night, and after a while, they walked out again.

"What about people, why is there no one?" Mandala said in confusion, "Although it was rumored that the innkeeper had died a few years ago, looking at the signs in the inn now, it doesn't look like it has been deserted!"

Carnation is still the same character, with her head down, without any opinions.

Seeing this, Mandala knew that her carnation sister could not give any useful advice, and decided at the moment: "It seems that we must make a trip to the lumberyard, which may disturb the noble lady." There's no way, the two of us can't live in this haunted hotel. Carnation silently followed her.

she

They walked north and came to the lumber yard located in the north of the town of Peace.

They stood at the door, stunned, for the gate of the yard of the lumber yard was not closed.

To be more precise, the courtyard gate is lying on the dirt at this time!

Horse thieves?

Seeing such a scene, both Mandala and Carnation became nervous. I didn't hear anything in the yard, and even if the horse thieves had visited, the lumber yard should be safe now.

Gathering courage, they went into the lumberyard.

The layout of the timber yard made them stunned for a moment. A new house was built next to the main building, replacing the previous low stone house. They immediately judged that this was where Miss Hayska lived, and that it was also the place where the noble lady was witnessed.

The door was open, and with a gentle push, it opened.

The scene inside made them breathe.

"It really looks like a horse thief. Mandala judged. She saw broken vases and sconces, tables and chairs, which were not as violent.

With a creak, the door of a room opened, and they were startled, and then they heard a familiar voice:

"Haska, is that you?"

It was the noble lady, Mandala immediately judged, "No, noble lady, it's us," she said, "Mandala and Haysjia, we have come to you from the flower meadow." ”

"It turned out to be the two of you," and in the darkness, the noble lady came to them, "why bother to come to me, it's been a hard journey." ”

Mandala immediately smiled and said, "It's not hard. Carnation followed and whispered.

The noble lady thought silently for a moment, and then asked, "Have you seen Hayska?" and her tone was worried.

"No, Miss Haska, we have just arrived in Peace Town," Mandala said worriedly, "Has Peace Town been met with horse thieves? Why is this the way it is?"

This matter cannot be explained in a few words, and the noble lady is now worried about her daughter, "something has happened," she said, "and I must now go north!"

So, before the tired mandala and carnation had time to rest, they followed the noble lady out of the lumber yard and headed north.

Ten minutes after they left, a black donkey finally bit off the rope tied to his body in a donkey shed in a corner of the lumberyard, and rushed out of the lumberyard and ran north.

......

......

After several hours of discussion with the guards in the garrison and an hour of deep reflection, Amanda came to the church overnight. With the permission of the gatekeeper, he walked into a bamboo building in the backyard of the church.

The faint flame of the candle flickered, and he finally waited for the old priest to put down the universal canon in his hand. The sight of the old priest being blind, but he was reading a book, made the chief of the guard, Amanda, mistakenly believe that the old priest still had extraordinary strength. "Pastor Theon," he said respectfully, "I need your guidance. ”

The old priest, who was leaning back on the bed and holding the white universal temple in his hand, slowly looked up, "I'm sorry, chief of security, for keeping you waiting," he said, "please forgive me, old man, I can't touch the questions in your heart." ”

If the old priest can't solve it, then the problem must be unsolvable, and Amanda the chief of security doesn't believe it, "No, please forgive me for disturbing your rest," he said, "You must help me, this is about the lives of thousands of Yodelman in the town of peace!"

"Last year, there were about 7,500 people in total, and this year it may be even more. There are indeed records of all the yodelmen in the church, and they were all devout believers. ”

"Yes, please ask the old priest to teach me how to bring these believers back!" Amanda said the Chief of Security earnestly, "There are less than 10,000 people in Peace Town, and if this Yodelman leaves, Peace Town will become a ghost town!"

Let the Chief of Security Amanda heart

Surprised, he saw the old priest sitting on the bed and shook his head helplessly, only to hear the old priest say in an old and calm voice:

"I can't see it, I can't see it, I can't see it now, I can't see it in the future. ”

As if he hadn't heard the old priest's sigh, the chief of the guard, Amanda, still had a sad expression, he knelt on the ground, put his hands on his chest, and said in a deep voice:

"Reverend Theon, after an afternoon and half a night, I have already figured out that those cavalry are not subject to the movement of the kingdom! can mobilize thousands of cavalry, at least at the level of a regimental commander! But how could such a big man give such a mediocre order? In other words, they are a group of cavalry of the kingdom without any control! Thinking of the floating corpse of my daughter River a week ago, I have to ask you for help!"

An old hand slowly stretched out, and Amanda immediately understood, and stretched out a hand to support the old priest.

With the support, the old doctor walked out of the bamboo building and came into the cold night.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the full moon with those non-existent eyes, "There is no way to stop it," he said, "I have taken my life's cultivation and stopped it for five years, and now that the time is up, there is no one to stop it anymore." ”

Amanda didn't know that the old priest had resurrected a girl named Hayser on the roof of that castle, "I don't understand," said the warden Amanda in alarm, "please teach me." ”

"It's chaos, it's chaos," said the old priest with a sigh, "this is a game laid down a thousand years ago, and no one can stop it." ”

"Do you mean that the cavalry represents chaos?" he said, "if I send someone to report to the king now, I won't have time?"

The old priest shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Cavalry does not mean chaos, and calamity is more terrible than cavalry. With that, he walked back to the bamboo building.

The chief of security, Amanda, did not give up, and then asked, "What is the chaos?"

The old priest lay back on the bed, his old face darkened, and he groaned for a moment, and said:

From now on, no pastor can see the future. The Cult of Light is about to usher in an unprecedented catastrophe. Alas, think about it, too, when everything has decay, it is time for the Cult of the Illuminati, which has flourished for a thousand years, to bow to the darkness. ”

Hearing this, the head of the guard, Amanda's short and fat body trembled, and he finally heard a meaningful message from the old priest's mouth - this calamity even the Cult of Light could not resist!

Trouble......

He still didn't know what the chaos was.

The old priest was silent and covered himself weakly.

In desperation, Amanda, the chief of security, walked out of the bamboo building and left the church.

The gatekeeper stared at the short and fat back for a long time, and then walked towards the bamboo building.

"Pastor Theon, I know you're waiting for me. He didn't open the door, but the doorman stood in the doorway and said.

There was no sound coming from inside.

The gatekeeper continued to whisper, "I'm going to go north, and if I can't come back, you'll need to find another gatekeeper." With that, he turned and left.

In the middle of the house, Reverend Theon sighed faintly.
