The goose-feathered snow covered the entire Starry City.

More than three months have passed, and the city of Malte has long been forgotten in people's memories, and only the sporadic inspectors ensure that no one enters the city of Malte to bring out the demon's black disease.

In addition to the lack of prosperous Malte City in this world, it has satisfied the surrounding city lords a lot, and the vacated markets have entered their respective pockets according to their agreement.

This also means that this winter is a rich winter.

Pushing open the door, Sean Hart held his hands, feeling a little that he had been in this world for three months.

Although I don't have to worry about the speed of time in my body, I still haven't let go of the big stone in my heart.

Snot's words warn Sean all the time that Calder's nine-story tower trial is not as simple as he imagined.

When Snot has a way to enter the world of trials from the outside world, Sean has a vigilance in his heart, wary of what will happen in the future.

After all, Calder was nothing more than a very powerful presence for Sean, unlike Nyvon Moore and him.

Even if Nervemore is always crazy and has a lot of personality in his body, no one knows who Nervemore is in front of him.

At the very least, Nyven Moore, as the leader of the trial, would have made Sean feel much more at ease, even though these ancient heroes were carved out of a mold, throwing people into the trial, without telling them what to do.

This makes people very helpless, they can't beat it, and they can't pass the trial quickly.

"Don't make any more trouble, I can't guarantee that woman will show mercy to your men."

Sean's kind persuasion was met with a cold nasal voice.

After thinking about it, Sean still added a lock to this cottage in the downtown area.

Heading to the Castle Lord's Mansion, there were a lot fewer pedestrians on the streets.

After all, the city is already covered with a thick layer of snow, and staying at home by a campfire is the choice of the average person.

Advancing towards the City Lord's Mansion without speed or slowness, not far from the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Sean saw an unimaginable picture.

There is sadness in the heart, and more helplessness.

During the time when Sean disguised himself as a beggar and tried to escape the two of them and a cat, Sean has seen countless tragedies.

Compared with the extreme tragedy, this barefoot girl facing the goose feather snow, with a box of matches in her red and swollen hands, walked towards every passerby, and had to say: "Sir (Mrs.), do you want to buy a box of matches?" ”

What you get is rejection.

No one is going to spend a fortune on a box of matches, it's not worth it.

The value of a box of matches is equivalent to a week's firewood money for an ordinary person.

And the family who can afford this expense has already sent matches to the door by big businessmen, so how can anyone buy matches in the hands of the little girl on a snowy day?

A move that is both impractical and ineffective.

Sean couldn't understand what kind of ruthless parents would let this child come out in such bad weather, at least he should have let the child dress warmly.

Sean watched for a while, but the girl was not discouraged by the rejection of others, and still caught up with everyone who passed by, passing on her desire to sell a box of matches.

"Hey"

"Sir, do you want to buy a box of matches, matches are very easy to use and convenient."

"I said, what's your name, what about your parents, can you take me to meet them?"

Draped his big mantle over the little girl's body, looked at the corners of the clothes dragged on the ground, and after Sean squatted down to help her tie the edges, he had time to pick up the child in large quantities.

The shivering body, the parts that can be seen have been frozen red and swollen.

I don't understand why such children still go out in such weather, and how many such children are there in the world, and whether they can survive the cold winter.

"I ...... My name is Eluma and my mom and dad are out, and I don't know when they'll be back. ”

"Oh?! Then why don't you stay at home and wait for your parents to come back, you see, this weather can freeze people to death, aren't you afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid!" Eluma shook her head and said, "Grandma said that as long as I can sell matches, whether it is a toy I want or a delicious egg, it will appear in front of me." Even when I miss my grandmother, I can talk to me by lighting a match......"

Maybe it's a child's fantasy world, but Sean doesn't interrupt Eluma.

He beckoned to the soldiers outside the gate of the Lord's Palace, borrowed the money bag handed by the soldiers, and placed it in Eluma's hand.

"Alright Eluma, take the money and buy yourself a dress, well, you can buy some toys, but don't go hungry. Go, go. ”

Let the soldiers escort this little girl for a ride, Sean has not forgotten the purpose of his coming to the City Lord's Mansion today, today is a farewell day, but also a day to face fate.

"Thank you, Uncle Soldier."

At the door of the matchbox grocery store, Eluma said goodbye to the soldiers, entered the house, and lit a small firewood.

The slight firelight was imprinted on the little girl's face, and her expression was a little tangled.

There was a thud.

Eluma lit a long match, looking expectantly above the flames.

"Grandma!"

As the smoke faded into a figure, Eluma recognized it as her grandmother and shouted.

"Isn't this my cutest granddaughter Eluma?! What a lovely child, grandma really wants to hug you. ”

"Grandma, I'll tell you......"

After telling her grandmother everything about today, Eluma waited expectantly for her grandmother's response.

"What a thing

Good man, but Eluma, why don't you send a box of matches to the gentleman as a token of your gratitude. ”

"Huh?! Eluma forgot, what to do. ”

Eluma spun around in a hurry and didn't notice the ruthlessness on her grandmother's face in the smoke.

"Remember to give the match to that gentleman next time, Eluma is a good boy, and I can't forget to thank you."

"I will, Grandma!"

After saying a word of advice to the soldiers outside the gate, Sean set off towards the City Lord's Mansion in Starlight City, and today, he was going to say goodbye to Dorothy.

"Why, you don't kneel when you see the city lord?"

Sean looked at the man sitting in the chair, and he still hadn't figured out how Dorothy had managed to turn a dummy into a living person.

has an independent personality, has its own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and even, inside the fake object dressed in human skin, there is a living soul.

From the texture and freshness of the soul, it can be inferred that this dummy has about fifty years to live.

"What about bad taste, what about Dorothy? Tell her that I'm looking for her. ”

"Multi-...... More ......"

Sighing, Sean himself stepped forward and closed the chin of the "City Lord" to prevent the destruction of the dummy's body.

Shuttle through the City Lord's Mansion with ease, and it was not until the study that Sean found Dorothy.

Before Sean could say his parting words and ask for the book found from Cranty's body, Dorothy saw Sean come in, her face turned pale, and she roared, "You bastard, what are you doing here?" ”

Crackling, picking up whatever he could grab at his fingertips, and slamming at Sean.

"Calm down, I have something important to tell you."

Easily dodged the hidden weapon, Sean scolded.

"You are a negative man, not only do you want to kill my body, but also hide Jiaojiao in the house to prevent me from taking revenge, you ...... Do you think you're worthy of me? ”

As for the tears, the fall in accord with the atmosphere.

Sean understands that a woman's talent is starting to play a role again, and the face that Dorote hides in his arm must have a successful smile.

"I'm leaving, I've been here too long."

Speaking to himself, Sean wasn't going to comfort the woman, he didn't think he owed Dorothy anything.

"Clante's matter, I hope you can calm down on this matter, and the woman, after all, she claims to be a saint."

"Huh? At the end of the day, you're a negative man with a big heart. Since I had her, I have become a handkerchief that I can throw away, just let me float away in the wind, and not disturb your good affairs with that woman. ”

"I didn't have anything to do with her, I just didn't let you kill her."

Dorothy looked incredulous, there was no trace of tears on her face, and Sean now knew a lot about this woman.

Walking over, Sean touched Dorothy's little head and said patiently, "I'm leaving, and I want you to give me the book "Candy House". ”

Tilting her head slightly and closing her eyes, Dorothy, who enjoyed Sean's touching and killing, opened Sean's hand as soon as she heard "Candy House".

"What?! Do you know that this book is the only thing my pet left me, and it's not impossible to give it to you, you hand over that damn woman. ”

"No, I promised her." Sean shook his head and didn't back down, he understood that if he didn't make things clear, he would never be able to return to Hinterland, and his time would always be frozen in this moment, watching the people around him die one by one, quietly watching the collapse of the world.

Sean is afraid of death, and even more afraid of watching death come, but doing nothing.

As long as he doesn't return to Hinterland, he can't control his fate for a moment, like a supporting character living in someone else's world, everything in the world revolves around others, and he knows the end of the story.

There is no basis, but there is intuition.

Gently pinching Dorothy's face, Sean took her in his arms while she wasn't looking.

"Book, I took it. I'll let that woman go, you know, witches shouldn't stand in front of the church, it will only hasten your death. ”

"You, unplug the ruthless!"

"You took the initiative."

"You ask for too much!"

"I don't know why, but the full moon appears a little more often."

"You...... Get out! ”

Sean takes Candy House and says goodbye to Dorothy as well.

After spending time with this woman, Sean understands that she has a strength in her small body that cannot be underestimated, as well as good acting skills.

The two knew that as long as Dorothy didn't change her mind for a day, Sean couldn't be by her side all the time, and that was the case from the beginning.

"The next time we meet, I'm going to leave...... When you leave this world, I'll do my best to take you away if you want to. ”

Throwing this sentence down, Sean left.

"A man's mouth, a deceitful ghost !!"

On this day, the City Lord's Mansion of Xingyao City, chickens, flying dogs, and jumping were not peaceful.

On this day, the city of Malte ushered in the revisit of the old people and completely dissipated.

"Is this what you call a black disease? Didn't you say you still have a competitor and you have to get ahead of her to solve it all? ”

Sean looked at Malte City, which was like a dead land, and couldn't believe that the city was so prosperous three months ago.

He still remembers Infax's hopes for the future of Malte City, his plans, and his ambitions.

Natural disasters are merciless and hateful.

Sean may not understand the origin of this black disease, nor why the holy woman of the Holy Mountain in Catalina's mouth has not solved the black disease in Malte City for so long.

At least, if the holy woman hadn't come, she wouldn't have to carry the burden of her life.

"Still reluctant to talk to me? Well, I said listen, your life is my life, and since you killed Clant, whether your gods will forgive you for this act or not. In my heart, your God is terrible. It's not that I'm afraid of the church behind you that I stopped Dorothy from killing you, you have to understand that. When this incident is over, you will go back to your Loulan, and if I hear that someone is going to trouble Dorothy, I will disappear Loulan. ”

Stating the facts coldly, whether Catalina can listen or not, that's not Sean's business anymore.

He reminded and declared, so he has no worries, and he does not have the psychological burden of dyeing his hands red.

"Here you go."

"What?"

Patting Sean on the shoulder, Catalina handed Sean a small bottle before they entered the city, and seeing Sean's confused appearance, she knew she had to explain the purpose of this to him.

Although the man stopped his plan to erase the witch, he also saved her life.

In her opinion, the little girl named Kranty has been poisoned by the witch and is one of the targets of purification.

But for Sean, who helped him get rid of the black disease, although she was dissatisfied with this man's actions, she didn't want this man to enter Malte City rashly without any protection measures.

Catalina pulled out another small bottle and demonstrated how to use it.

When the cork is opened, when the air enters the bottle, it instantly turns into a purple gas, and it is obvious that the contents of the bottle are much heavier than the air.

"This is a treasure that can only be obtained by using hydrangea as raw material, under the light of the gods, it can only be obtained for seven seven or forty-nine days, as long as you bring this, the black disease will definitely not invade your body and mine."

Catalina saw that Sean had never seen a hydrangea and not only explained to him the role of the flower, but also mixed it with the splendor of the Lord that she had heard from the bishop since she was a child.

She came to Middle-earth not only to solve the black disease that should not exist in the world, but also to spread the doctrine and glory of the Lord to the world, so that people can become believers in the Lord, so that the world can become a better place, and she can get closer to the Lord.

"Lord, your most faithful devotee, Catalina, will immediately remove the evil disease and let the world feel your glory even more."

Screaming like a fanatic, Sean looked at the woman in amazement, he had never seen such a crazy side of a woman in three months of getting along.

There is no help.

The thought germinated in Sean's mind.

When it comes to faith, Sean never judges others in a different light.

Everyone has things in their hearts that they want to protect and pursue, even Sean joined the church under the arrangement of the Fei Lie family, although he has never been to the church or worshiped their family gods, and the Fei Lie family was wiped out.

In this way, God probably does not exist, or disdains to interfere in human affairs, otherwise he would not be the only one who lives in the Fei Lie family.

Compared to what kind of god he believed in, Shaun couldn't stand it just like a madman's faith.

It seems that Catalina is a normal woman, but who can know that she has faith in the gods in her bones.

Sean can only classify this kind of person as a madman, and if he doesn't have to, he won't have much contact with this kind of person.

Wearing Catalina's example and hanging the bottle around his neck, Sean secretly wrapped the bottle with magic, as well as his body.

If the gods were useful, there wouldn't be so many tragedies in the world, and Sean was convinced of that.

When the two entered the city of Malte, it was probably hell, hell controlled by rats.

The streets are full of rats, and they are too big.

Sean felt that Sophie's cat was more like a hunted party than a mouse here.

Needless to say, the holy woman from Loulan waved the Zen staff in her hand, like knocking a gopher, efficiently cleaning up these abominable creatures.

"Stop, someone's coming."

Pulled a handful of Catalina, and the next second, a flute sounded.

The loosely organized rat swarm no longer looked like they were being tossed around by Catalina, as if possessed by another creature, but instead turned to Catalina's position in unison, stretched out their fangs, and attacked her.

If it weren't for Sean's quick reaction, Catalina would now be one of the bones hanging from the castle tower.

Some familiar people appeared in the center of the rat colony.

Exaggerated and comical costumes, holding flutes to their mouths, it seems that these rats have a leader.

"Troubadour? It's kind of weird. ”

Sean asked, uncertain.

"No, no, no, you are wrong, I am not a troubadour but the lord of this city of Hamel, O Hamel! Welcome both to Paradise in Hamel, and to welcome you, use you to fill the bellies of my lovely children. ”

The swarm of rats in the sky has taken the place of snowflakes, like a once-in-a-century meteor shower, making people unable to take their eyes off.

Catalina swallowed, can the Holy Light solve this dilemma, and can the Zen staff in her hand kill countless mice......

ps: It's good to have two chapters, but it's better now. Does anyone have anything to say? (Parentheses laugh.) ）

It's been cold lately, and it is said that the fat house happy water is more compatible with the cold winter.
