"In order to gain eternal life, Mrs. Woodberg secretly captured innocent maidens and bathed them in their blood in order to gain eternal life. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Inside the library, Wheat read a passage from a book in a low voice. This is a book about Western folklore, on which Wheat found the story of the "Bloody Lady".
"The church finally found out about her misdeeds, and because it was a serious violation of the doctrine, they arrested Mrs. Woodberg." Wheat continued to whisper quickly, "In the Church Inquisition, Woodberg was condemned as a depraved demon and finally burned at the stake in the market. ”
The text records the fate of this "bloody lady", who was eventually tied to a stake and burned to death. There must have been a lot of onlookers at the time, and the families of the murdered girls spit on the cruel executioner, applauding the demon for finally being punished. The Church also took advantage of this event to further assert its position that anything dark and evil would not survive in that era.
Wheat knew that the information recorded in the book would certainly not be exactly the same as the real history, because this kind of folklore anecdote, passed down by word of mouth and from generation to generation, would definitely be added to the vinegar, and a lot of true information would definitely be lost, not to mention if there was something in these stories that was contrary to the interests of those in power.
However, Wheat also believes that the record of Cynthia's death is recorded. There should be no discrepancies. After all, it's not a matter of details, but of very important substantive results, and most of the time you can't go wrong.
According to the book, the bodies of many young girls were later found in Cynthia's mansion, and they were buried in a hidden corner of the courtyard. Not only that, but the girls were all stripped of their clothes, and some of them were rotting out of shape. Some that have just been buried show a pale complexion. It was clear that their blood had been drained to the point where not a drop was left. This caused a very big shock at the time, such a demonic act. It's hard to imagine that it would be made by humans.
Meantime. Because of Cynthia's status as the Countess of Woodberg, the royal family also felt that there was no face. To a certain extent, this aroused the resentment of the people against the long-term oppression of the noble lords, and thanks to the guidance of the church, a riot was avoided. Perhaps this is why the king cannot offend the church. Because they are evangelists. It is a transmitter of faith. And faith has an immeasurable role in the people.
Wheat closed the book and looked out the window. Exotic folklore publications are generally not of much interest, so they are kept in secluded parts of the library. It just so happened that there was a window next to the bookshelf. The sunlight outside the window pours in, giving it a warm and bright feeling. The library seems to have a lot of windows, and even when the lights are not on, the entire interior of the library is always lit. Wheat looked out the window at the view of the campus and fell into deep thought.
The book records some background about the background of this "bloody lady", although it is not much, but it can also help Wheat clarify some ideas. This woman named Cynthia didn't live such a privileged life at first. However, she later married the hereditary earl of the Woodberg family and became a countess. From then on, she began to enter the social life circle of the nobility and became a veritable noble lady. But the good times did not last long, and within a few years of marriage, the elderly Earl Woodberg died. Cynthia continued to inherit the title of "Countess", but could not exercise the powers of a lord as she did during the Count's lifetime.
However, this does not seem to have any real effect on Cynthia, as she seems to only care about material comforts. All the proceeds from Earl Woodberg's territory were in her pocket for her enjoyment. Such a single widow, golden, beautiful, and aristocratic status, naturally became a courtesan in the upper class circle. She lived a lavish life, often having dinner parties and enjoying everything around her. Fortunately, Earl Woodberg's estate was rich enough to cover her expensive living expenses.
As for the Monsieur Volento, whom Wheat had seen at first, he was the Countess's remarriage. It turned out that the previous engagement banquet was not the countess's first marriage, and she was really a romantic figure.
This beautiful woman caused enough conversation at the time that even turned people's attention to those undead. However, all of this is hidden from the church. With Cynthia's burning at the stake, the truth has been obscured by history. It's just that at that time, people did have a panic about the mysterious undead race that secretly controlled the world.
Although all of this seems to have nothing to do with the ghost book, Wheat suddenly becomes interested in the group of undead creatures. No one knows what they really look like, and no one knows what they are. They are very mysterious and always lurk in the shadows, exerting influence on the human world. It is precisely because of this that they have been able to keep a low profile and have not been attacked by humans like monsters.
However, there is also a reason why wheat would be interested in them. As she knew, Cynthia was obsessed with immortality, which is why she had her eyes on these legendary undead monsters. Perhaps investigating them will also lead to some information about Cynthia. Only by fully understanding the evil spirit that existed in her body at this time could Wheat find a way to expel her as soon as possible. Otherwise, although the evil spirit has not taken any action at the moment, Wheat will not be naïve enough to think that the other party is just possessing her for fun. In time, when this evil spirit adapts to her body and gradually grows stronger, it will definitely do something bad.
"Are you here?" A cold voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting Wheat's thoughts.
Wheat was still looking out the window, immersed in his own thoughts, not even aware of his surroundings. Because of this, the sudden voice next to her really startled her, and she almost couldn't hold back her low voice.
Listening to this familiar cold tone, Wheat looked to the side, and sure enough, it was him.
"Why are you here?" Wheat asked, "Didn't you say that you went with Mr. Situ to look for clues?" ”
The person standing in front of Wheat at this time was none other than Rocky, who had not been seen for many days.
