Chapter 80: A Rare Sight
The Lymps followed Litt in the direction of the Countess of Windsor's castle.
"Since Cooking Laugh is an elf, can you fly out of this forest directly?" Little asked suddenly.
"I've tried, but the ban on the edge of the forest is even blocked from above, and I can't see the end of the ban, so I can't know where to get out directly." Lin Yiren was helpless, she didn't think about going out directly with the elves' own plug-ins, but it was a pity that in this independent copy of "Demon Blade", she could only go out by completing the task or giving up the task.
The closer they got to their destination, the quieter it became, and there would be birdsong and insect chirping among the trees before, and then I don't know when, only the three of them were left stepping on the grass or the rustle of moss, and even the sound of the wind was gone.
"Do you know anything about evil spirits?" Lin Yiren hesitated but asked, she knew almost nothing about this castle of the Countess of Windsor, of course, she felt that this evil spirit was likely to have something to do with the Countess of Windsor, and maybe even the Countess of Windsor.
"More than a hundred years ago, an earl came to settle here with his wife and servants, and legend has it that the castle had been built for many years before that." Susie whispered, "Later ......"
Later, people heard that the Earl's family had moved here, and at that time, the Earl was a rare big man for the people here, especially when people who had seen the Earl said that the Earl was a very gentleman, and people respected the Earl even more.
But there are very bad rumors about the Countess, there are rumors of people working in the castle, the Count is out on a campaign, and the Countess is not faithful to her husband and has an affair with others. Succumbing to the powerful, people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, but they all had a very bad impression of this countess.
The Countess's personal maid was named Winnie, a very beautiful girl, and she was very popular among the servants of the castle, but she was often wounded, and people asked why she was hurt, and Winnie refused to speak, and later it was reported that the Countess was seen losing her temper with Winnie and spilling hot tea on Winnie, which made people's impression of the Countess even worse. A wealthy local merchant who had business dealings with the Count decided to tell the Count all this when the Count returned, exposing the Countess's misdeeds.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the earl severely punished those subordinates who spread bad words about the countess.
Most of the people were hired after arriving in the local area, and these people were driven home and complained to the people around them, the reputation of the countess was worse, and the count was considered to be too fond of the lady, and was respected by everyone, but at this time, some people said that Winnie was the adopted daughter of the countess's father, which means that Winnie was actually the countess's godsister, and it was rumored that the one who should have married the earl should have been Winnie, but after the death of the countess's father, the countess spent a lot of money and changed the name on the marriage book, shamelessly married the earl, and seized all the property, and shamelessly made Winnie become his maid and stayed by his side to humiliate and torture every day, just because the countess was jealous of Winnie's beauty.
And when the news reached the ears of the busy Earl, the Count was furious. balance
At that time, people thought that the countess was finished, but they did not expect that it was Winnie who was unlucky.
The Count was furious and expelled Winnie from the castle, believing not the rumors of the people, but believing his wife. People sympathized with Winnie's plight and became even more disgusted with the hypocritical countess.
Shortly after Winnie left the castle, the Earl suddenly fell ill and died, and the Countess inherited her husband's title and became the Countess of Windsor, but it was rumored that the Countess did not love her husband and killed the upright and kind Earl who loved his wife deeply along with her mistress.
At that time, the war was raging and was about to spread to the town, and the people broke into the castle of the Countess of Windsor, killed the vicious countess in the castle that her husband left for his beloved wife, divided the castle of gold, silver and jewels and fled.
But those who entered the castle were never able to come out.
The survivors speculate that the Countess turned into a terrible demon and killed the townspeople.
But the countess did not stop there, in the hundreds of years of the existence of the evil spirit, killed countless people who passed through this forest, until a long time later, the war ended, and the people who entered the forest still did not return, and then the Holy See sent clergy to pay the evil spirit, but even the clergy had no way to take this evil spirit, after losing more than ten clergy, the Holy See finally did not send people there, but issued notices in various churches to solicit personnel.
"I don't know why I don't like that heartthrob Winnie at all." After hearing the story, the Lin Yiren pouted in dissatisfaction.
"This is the rumored woman's intuition?" Little asked with a smile.
"Perhaps, the vision of men and women is indeed very different, for example, most men like women who can be coquettish, and it is difficult for sensible and independent girls to find a male partner who is sincere to her. There are even some men who don't like women who are too independent, intelligent and upright, and if a girl is too sensible, many people will get used to it and take everything she does for granted, even if she sacrifices some of her own things to help others. In fact, only women are enough to know each other's true colors. The Lyrian stepped over the roots of the tree that had protruded from the ground, and the longbow in his hand appeared, "I think we're very close to the evil spirit, this breath is really unpleasant." ”
"I have to admit that some men think that women are too independent and intelligent to be a suitable partner, but I don't agree with this opinion, because men who think like this probably don't have the ability to dislike such a good lady." ”
"Well, maybe next time I can use that to gag some people," Lin Yiren thought for a moment, "Speaking of that Winnie, from the beginning to the end of Susie's description, Winnie doesn't seem to have said a bad word about the countess, but her actions have made people point the finger at the countess, and Winnie herself has gained countless sympathies. Have you ever thought that if the Earl chooses not to trust his wife, and Winnie is young and beautiful at the time, oh, think about it, a young and beautiful girl who has been treated unfairly but never complains, and who treats people gently, in case those malicious comments about the Countess are all lies, Winnie is undoubtedly the one who is most likely to accept that the Countess has everything, money, status, and a superior life. ”
