Follow Cynthia to the spiral staircase, where Wheat follows her all the way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info she is still wearing that casual home clothes, looking relaxed and relaxed.
Downstairs, the old maid saw her coming down, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss, those people are waiting at the door. ”
Cynthia raised her chin slightly and said, "You should let the guests come in and wait, it's so rude." There was no strong reproach in her tone, but there was also the usual arrogance.
As she spoke, she reached out and opened the door, trying to see who the visitors were waiting in the courtyard. Because in her impression, there was no invitation tonight, and this particular time was dedicated to "bathing" her.
The door opened, and several tall figures stood outside the door. Because Wheat was closely behind Cynthia, she was able to see each other's faces clearly.
In the dark night sky, the bright moonlight is particularly dazzling. In the courtyard outside the door, three men in black cloaks stood. The reason why Wheat judged them to be men was mainly because of the tall man.
The moonlight shone on the pure black cloak, and there was a strange sense of silence. Suddenly, Wheat noticed something reflecting off their cloaks. Looking closely, it turned out that there was a silver brooch on the black cloak, which was the object that reflected the moonlight. The wheat was carefully examined, and the brooch should have been silver. Flashes of silvery sheen. The round brooch has a peculiar pattern on it, like two crossed knight's swords, and is bordered by roses and their vines. The men wore hoods attached to their cloaks, so that Wheat could not see anything but the brooch that was attached to the collar of the cloak.
Next to her, Cynthia seems to feel the same way. At this moment, she was looking at the three men in cloaks and hoods in the courtyard with bewildered expressions.
"Who are you?" Although Cynthia didn't know where the other party came from, she still maintained her haughty and confident demeanor in her words.
Hearing her question, the three men did not answer immediately. The one in the lead was the first to reach out and take off his hood, revealing his true face.
Wheat was surprised to find. This is a young man with blonde hair and blue eyes. He looks quite handsome and should be between 25-30 years old. However, although he is very handsome, this man's eyes are not warm at all. At least for the beauty named Cynthia in front of her. He didn't show any admiration. On the contrary, his demeanor was a little cold.
"Cynthia? Woodberg. Now arrest you for the murder of young girls in the city. The man said coldly, "This is a direct arrest warrant from the church, and you will be sent to the church tribunal for trial." If you resist arrest. The Church will exercise the right of summary execution. ”
As soon as the man opened his mouth, he announced the purpose of his visit, and there was no tendency to drag his feet. Not far behind him, there was a horse-drawn carriage parked, which seemed to be used to escort prisoners, and it was very sturdy.
"What? Who are you? Why can I be arrested? Cynthia's tone was as if her dignity had been offended, and her pride did not allow herself to be treated like a prisoner.
The blonde man coldly showed something like an ancient pass. Wheat guessed that it should be something like a token, a kind of identity identification.
"We are executors affiliated with the church, and you must go with us." The man didn't give her a choice, blocking all her retreats.
As soon as she heard the word "church," Cynthia immediately realized something. She immediately looked at the brooches on the cloaks of those men, and seemed to understand her situation at the moment.
"Are you church executors?" There was a hint of panic in Cynthia's tone, which was contrary to her usual pride and confidence. In Mai's opinion, Cynthia's heart must not be calm at this moment, otherwise she would not have behaved so surprised and uncalm.
Church? Wheat remembers seeing descriptions in library books. The Church is an active organization that arose in the Middle Ages on a Western continent, and the supreme decision-maker is the Pope. During that legendary medieval period, the power of the church was even higher than that of the king for a time.
I had just heard the blonde man mention the "ecclesiastical court," which Wheat remembered as what seemed to be the church's council for judging prisoners. The Church has its own faith, which is firm and inviolable. As soon as they found that someone had blasphemed the Church's faith or committed an unpardonable crime, they would bypass the law enforcement agencies set up by the king and arrest the prisoner for trial. This is the special power of the Church, which has the right not to obey the orders of the law enforcement agencies of the state, but to obey directly from the Council of the Holy See, to obey the supreme orders of the Pope.
Now it seems that the three executors from the church received orders from the church to arrest Cynthia. If Cynthia disobeys the order, she will be executed on the spot. Wheat also doesn't know much about church matters, but he still knows about it. The Church played a vital role in the Middle Ages, and it was once a spiritual belief in the hearts of the people who soothed their hearts and sought salvation. Of course, in the contemporary world in which wheat lives, this religion is more of an ordinary belief in life, and does not have the supreme power, vital and sacrosanctity that it once possessed.
Wheat looked at the cloaks of the three again, and then understood the meaning of the brooch on their cloaks, which must be a sign of identity. It is recorded in the book that the church has its own emblem to identify itself. The markings used by the different ministries in the church are different, but they are all made of silver as a metal. It seems that in the faith of the Church, silver is a metal that can wreak havoc on demons and cleanse souls.
Now the group of church executors has come to arrest Cynthia, and they have just heard them mention the charges against multiple murders of young girls. Wheat naturally immediately thought of what she had seen in the room just now, and sure enough, she verified her guess that the huge amount of blood that was used to soak in the bath was really the blood of a pure girl. In other words, this Cynthia is really using the blood of a girl to achieve the goal of maintaining her youth and beauty.
It seems that Wheat's guess about the "Bloody Lady" seems to be correct.
