Chapter 186 Acting?
ββ¦β¦ Who? β
Eyes warily looked at the door that had been pushed open slightly. With an old-fashioned face that did not fluctuate in the slightest, Rainwin just subconsciously shrank his body to the two uninvited strangers, and at the same time hugged the skirt on his body.
"I'm sorry to bother you, but dare to ask Miss, you really don't know anything about me?"
It was the man in the fine armor who spoke, bowed politely, and was covered with the badges of a valiant warrior - at a glance, he was tall and had scars of various sizes, which made his smile so kind, but still revealing a timid military atmosphere.
He had lifeless eyes, even though he smiled so softly.
This is a dangerous person, Pura thought to herself for no reason.
Without rushing to answer the other party's question, she once again glanced carefully at the armor with the carved mountains and earth on it, the carved patterns made it intricate, the magic that revealed made it feel powerful, and the insignia of those warriors made its owner daunting.
On top of that, without Miss Erin's protection, her magic was so weak that she could only perform tricks, and now she had to face this powerful warrior aloneβin the castle at night, the slave was forbidden by her mother to do anything, and she couldn't imagine what a strong warrior would do to her.
Exhaled heavily, and finally, Pula, who had calmed down, said flatly: "Mighty warrior, your strength is worthy of respect, and you must be a famous brave man." It's just that I'm just a down-and-out little nobleman, and I really haven't heard of that warrior near here, whose armor is tattooed with images of mountains and the earth. β
Soon after she finished. Then he heard the man groan, and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. Then he said solemnly: "Miss, I received a commission from the Exorcism Association. The content is to go to this castle for purification. After a pause, he added: "This is a formal commission, protected by the laws of the diocese, and the method by which we entered the castle is in accordance with the laws of the diocese, and does not constitute any violation of the law. β
Stunned by the other party's righteous words, Pula's suspicions in her heart were alleviated a lot, but she still asked cautiously, "Are you really from the Exorcism Association?" Who placed the commission? And the evil spirit in the castle to purify you? Why am I completely unaware of this? β
Without answering her question directly, the man just pointed to the corridor outside the room, and said with a smile, "As long as Miss you come out and take a look at the situation in this hallway." I don't think you'll ever doubt the authenticity of this commission, no matter how cautious and suspicious you are. β
At the same time, the girl who was standing behind the man, who was originally silent and wearing tight clothes, suddenly added in a slightly sarcastic voice: "Miss Noble, in fact, as a reserve member of the Exorcism Association, I have followed my master to solve vicious incidents for so many years, and I have encountered such an obviously bad environment. It is also quite rare. Of course, I'm not sure about your aesthetic, maybe it's something you did on purpose? β
Annoyed by the girl's sarcasm, Pura looked at the man. With a straight face, he asked, "Are you really exorcists?" β
Without waiting for the man to answer, the girl who claimed to be his apprentice clasped her hands to her chest, and her eyes and expression showed impatience and said, "If I really want to harm you." We're doing it now, and we still need to lie to you? Don't waste time! β
This. The man glanced at the girl reproachfully, then said nothing. Standing silently in the hallway, silently awaiting her decision.
The words of the two in front of her were so convincing, and in reality, it was hard for Pula to imagine any reason for a warrior with an absolute advantage of power to deceive her - after all, when violence can be resolved, it is obviously superfluous to talk too much.
At the very least, they were exorcists and not sophistications, and they would not be naturally hostile to a female aristocrat because of the patriarchal nature of religious society.
This is despite the fact that the persecution of women of social status and influence ended many years ago and was rated as a degrading act by His Royal Highness the Pope. But to this day, Pura remembers what she had seen in the papal literature, how horrific the cruel torture was.
When religion is taken to the extreme, perhaps, it is actually another heresy. Prayu remembered a magical comment from a priest in the literature.
"Time is running out," the man reminded the man, who had probably seen her pondering for a long time, and the steel gauntlet tapped the door, "the longer we remain here, the worse the situation in the castle will only get worse, the worse the situation will only go, and the number of dead will only increase." β
"You have to make a choice, follow us, or stay, either."
I couldn't help but jump my eyelids, and Pula's already pale face became even more pale. Although the precocious appearance and face of Westerners, as well as the aristocratic education, made her appear mature, in fact, this serious choice was still too heavy for her at the age of fourteen.
Even recently, she was discussing with the non-existent "Miss Irene" how to infiltrate her mother's master bedroom and find out the truth. But in fact, there is no inherently comparable plan to make such an adventurous game compare to the option to actually put your life at the table.
Sitting on the bed in a daze, Pura thought about a lot of things, and finally, she remembered her surname, the one that, although noble, had nothing to do with her.
Rainwind, this strange surname, in the human realm of the Dragon Continent, has a popular, synonymous with divine meaning - magic. With magic as a surname, perhaps only a mage standing at the top of magic would dare to do this to his name. And the mages with the surname Rainwind are so high that their family is separated from the human race, elevating the name mage to the position of the race, looking down on everyone like a god.
However, even if they are unwilling to bear the responsibilities of the human race, they still have privileges comparable to those of the nobility in most human realms.
Pura knew in her heart that although their branch was not recognized, it was precisely because of their surname that even though their father, who was mediocre, had left them, they were still able to get their inheritance intact and were warmly welcomed by the lords of the neighborhood.
Now, can you behave like this, worthy of this noble surname?
Pula raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of the door, and her heart was filled with courage for no reason. She pressed her plump chest and said in a deep voice, "Please wait outside the door for a while, and I'll clean up and come out." β
Bowing his body, the man didn't say a word, pulled up the girl who was about to speak, turned around and exited the room, and didn't forget to close the door gently, leaving only the word ASAP.
The door closed, and the room was dark again. At this moment, Pula's pair of bright jasper-like smart eyes suddenly flickered faintly, and in the darkness, people couldn't help but feel absurd and weird, and they were creepy.
"A powerful exorcist, a mother who behaves abnormally, a haunted castle."
Thinking of these three things, Pula sighed softly, and subconsciously wanted to get up from the bed, but inexplicably became a volley and floated up.
However, the strange thing is that she herself seems to be completely ignorant of this matter...... (To be continued......)
