Chapter 442: Questioning
The sheriffs discussed the hellish experience, and then thanked Renault, who had a vague memory of the sight and knew that it was Renault who saved everyone.
Of course, some people were very curious about the situation behind them, and asked Renault what happened after they fainted, and Renault replied truthfully:
"There was a bunch of man-eating plants in the woods, which were very dangerous, and I burned them all to get you back. ”
"Burned?"
The sheriffs couldn't help but pout, their professional habits led them to care more about arson than man-eating plants...
Although there is magic and magic in this world, once the mountain fire burns, it is still very dangerous, and this is an absolute felony!
They subconsciously thought that Renault was burning those plants with ordinary flames...
Luckily, it didn't cause anything worse!, otherwise the mages would have been asking for a lot of money...
Of course, even if a wildfire was caused, no one would think of arresting Renault, and they vowed to help Renault keep it a secret.
As for Ventini...
She didn't look very good, she didn't say anything, curled up in a corner of the car, her hands tightly wrapped around her legs that only the broken stockings remained, her head lowered, her chin rested on her knees, and the expression on her face often changed, sometimes shy, sometimes angry, sometimes ashamed, but always red...
I don't know what I'm thinking?
The group rode in an ox cart all the way back to the City of Innocence, and then went to the Miya Church, where they asked the old bishop to help treat the cold and fever on their bodies.
Although the old bishop did not refuse, he treated 20 people in one go, leaving him so tired that he was panting and dizzy, and he almost lost his footing.
Seeing this, the sheriffs also felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly scraped together the money on their bodies and stuffed it into the offering box.
When leaving, Wendini stayed last, looking at Renault with big eyes, blinking non-stop, looking at the flickering one, and said hesitantly:
"I... I have to go... I'm going to go back and report back..."
"Don't worry, you saved us, we definitely won't reveal about your arson..."
"Such as... If you have time..."
Wentini said, suddenly a little speechless, and her pretty face turned red for the first time, and finally barely squeezed out a sentence:
"If you have time, you can... You can come to us and report back on last night!"
After saying that, she left a little dejected.
Renault watched her leave, and asked with some suspicion:
"Lieutenant Wentini isn't doing well, is he's looking very sick?
"How is that possible? I'm pretty good at healing. ”
The old bishop said very confidently, his face was not red and he was not panting, where was the tired appearance just now?
"But why does she look so depressed?"
Renault asked curiously.
"If you had just asked her out for dinner, her mood would have improved immediately. ”
The old bishop replied meaningfully.
"Oh, I see, she must be hungry, think about it, she hasn't eaten for a day because she was caught by those plants..."
"I knew I should have baked a potato for her just now..."
"Alas, I'm still not careful enough after all!"
Renault said and examined himself in his heart.
"Ugh..."
The old bishop sighed helplessly, and then turned to ask:
"What happened last night?"
Renault told him what had happened, and then took out the strange stone like a sea urchin from his bosom.
"Anyway, it's very strange, those plants are very dangerous when they say they are dangerous, after all, they want to eat people, and they can also spew hallucinogenic poisonous gases, which make people nervous, talk nonsense, and even want to bite people!"
Renault said with a sigh of relief, and then added:
"But in addition to being able to move and eat people, they don't have much intelligence, and they are also very afraid of the Holy Flame, are plants really afraid of fire?"
"Well... They may not be afraid of the Holy Flame..."
The old bishop continued to speak, and then carefully examined the stone, and then went back to his room, and found several books and notes, and looked through them for a long time.
Renault was waiting for him to flip through the information, and he was also making various brain speculations:
"This should be the handiwork of those cultists, right? Only they will do such a frenzied act of cannibalism!"
"Of course, it could also be done by those insidious and vicious mages, who can do this kind of thing!"
"They must be trying to raise an army of man-eating plants, and then counterattack the city of innocence!
"Of course, the Innocence City is well defended, and they may attack other cities and turn the whole country into a cannibalistic botanical garden!
"In the end, only the last bastion of the City of Innocence remains, and the remnants of humanity survive in it, eating potatoes every day..."
"Why are these people so bad, so vicious, and how can we, good and good people, live in peace?"
The old bishop did not answer, but several little milk cats were frightened, and hurriedly rubbed at Renault's feet and meowed.
"Don't worry, with me Renault, even if I fight for my life, I won't let them succeed!"
Renault swore and bowed his head to the little milk cats and said:
"So, you also have to work hard, grow up quickly, and protect your city with me in the future!"
After hearing this, the old bishop finally couldn't bear to ask:
"What did you do when you were in your hometown?"
"Priest, I'm still a very powerful priest, I fight against an evil organization called 'Blizzard' every day, protect world peace, and grab equipment from mages, so I hate mages the most..."
Renault replied, followed by another question:
"Didn't that tell you?"
"No, I think you might have written the script back then..."
The old bishop complained casually, and returned to the topic:
"This thing is basically certain that it is not man-made..."
"This stone is not an ordinary thing, it is very high, and my divination is interfered with by it... How could someone throw something as important as this in the wild and leave it unguarded?"
"Even if there is really some evil conspiracy, I will not take the initiative to provoke the sheriff, isn't that exposing myself and arousing vigilance?"
Renault listened to it and hurriedly asked.
"Isn't it man-made? Or is it natural?"
"Yes, it's a rare natural phenomenon, and the books call it 'spiritualization.'"
