As the sound of "True Demon" faded away, I opened my eyes suddenly.
Wall??
The first thing that catches your eye is actually a wall.
Just feeling strange, as soon as he turned around, his head collided with Zhang Qiang next to him.
With a thud, I bared my teeth in pain.
"Your uncle's." I couldn't help but take a sip.
When I opened my eyes again, I realized that we were at the mouth of an alley in a small town in the Middle Ages in Europe.
When I turned around, I realized that the other people were actually dressed in European clothes from that period, and then I looked down at myself and found that I was also wearing European clothes.
Judging from the fabric, everyone should be a civilian.
Not only that, but if I looked closely at the other five, I could barely tell who was who was by their faces, but they all gave me the impression of European faces. Not only that, but listening to the conversations of passers-by outside, it seemed that I could understand clearly without any obstacles.
Thinking that this was a game world, I instantly understood that it was the design of the "real demon" to make us integrate into the story.
The others immediately understood what was going on.
"I—my God." Zhang Qiang covered his forehead, poked his head out of the alley, looked at the European-style buildings everywhere and the faces of Westerners coming and going on the street, and was a little unacceptable for a while: "Are we really in Europe?" ”
I followed Zhang Qiang and looked out.
After being shocked, he also smiled wryly: "I think, probably yes." ”
"This is supposed to be medieval Europe, is that old legend true?" Zhao Qiqi glanced at the pedestrians on the street, thoughtful.
"What legend?" Du Deming looked at her curiously.
Wang Yi understood Zhao Qiqi's words, and he glanced at Du Deming: "Have you forgotten the name of this game?" ”
Du Deming was stunned for a moment, and turned his eyes to look at Wang Yi: "You mean, Bloody Mary?" ”
"That's right, I've checked the relevant records before, and the story should have taken place in medieval Europe." I explained to him as I led the group towards the streets of the town.
When they first arrived on the street, everyone was attracted by the scene in front of them. It's like a movie.
Some roadside stalls are lined with all kinds of fine utensils, jewelry, cloths, spices...... The vendors were shouting and shouting.
The golden bread and sugar pancakes in the canteen opposite were snapped up by some hooded aunts as soon as they were served, while some poor people in plain clothes could only carefully buy the black bread that looked very inferior under the eyes of suspicion.
In the workshop, the carpenter is instructing the apprentice to tinkle something.
Some beggars at the corner of the street were slumped and leaned against the blackened corner, and only when they saw the richly dressed people passing by would they suddenly get up and perform a few sacraments on them, hoping that the passers-by would give them something to eat for the Lord's sake. And often the nobles with umbrellas didn't even look at them, and walked briskly to the side with disdain.
On the wooden frame in the middle of the stone wall at the end of the street hung several old and dried black blood ropes, which swayed slowly with the breeze, and I don't know how many people's blood was soaked in them......
I was surprised by what I saw, but suddenly I caught a glimpse of a thief fumbling for something behind a young man not far ahead.
"Hadron, Deming!" I patted the two who were also shocked, pointed over there, and reminded.
"Yo, go along!" Zhang Qiang touched his chin, evoked a wicked smile, then glanced at Du Deming, and then walked in the direction of the thief.
A few minutes later, when the thief was happily checking today's harvest in the alley where we were just now, his shoulders were held down by Zhang Qiang and Du Deming from behind, one left and one right.
The thief subconsciously wanted to resist, but Du Deming pinched the place where his shoulder blades and wanted to run forward, but I and Wang Yi, Zhao Qiqi, and Situ Cao were blocked in front of him.
Du Deming kicked him hard in the knee socket, and a countercut made the thief kneel on the ground.
Zhang Qiang smiled and took the belongings he had just snatched, and checked them in his hand: "Heh, I have gained a lot." ”
He casually threw the money bag to me, and I took it and put it in my arms.
After all, we are not the Virgin, and in this unknown world, everything needs money.
After several failed attempts, the thief gave up the struggle.
"What do you want to do?" He looked at us in horror.
I sneered and glanced at Du Deming, who immediately understood, and the strength of his grip on the thief's shoulder blade increased by two points.
"It's nothing, I just want to ask you something." I crouched in front of the thief.
"Light, light!" The thief's face turned blue with pain, and he looked at us pleadingly: "What do you want to ask?" ”
"It's nothing, I just want to ask you, do you know if there is a castle here, and have you heard of Mary?" As I spoke, my eyes turned to Situ Cao.
She nodded at me, her finger probing the thief's pulse.
The thief was stunned, and although he didn't understand the purpose of her actions, he still explained honestly.
"You're outsiders?" The thief turned his gaze suspiciously over the few of us, and without waiting for us to answer, he nodded to himself: "Yes, for no one in our place dares to call that adult by his name." ”
"The sir?" I looked at him strangely, "You mean Mary?" ”
There was a hint of respect in the thief's eyes, and he nodded: "Our entire county and its surrounding areas are under her jurisdiction, and she is a very kind lord. ”
Kindness?
Listening to the thief's words, the six of them began to wonder in their hearts. According to the rumors we have heard, Mary is a cruel and twisted woman.
Why is she completely different in the mouth of the thief?
Several people looked at each other, and I continued to ask, "You say she is kind, how can you see it?" ”
"Actually......" The thief hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "Some time ago, something strange happened in this town and the nearby villages. ”
"Weird things?" Zhao Qiqi raised his eyebrows.
"Yes. Since the beginning of the previous months, girls from nearby villages have begun to disappear mysteriously. Later, things developed to the point that there were a large number of missing girls even in the town. Every night, the screams of girls can be heard in many parts of the town. The town's men spontaneously organized night patrols, but for months they found nothing. But the next morning, blood would flow from all over the street near the sewers. So recently, people are panicking, people only dare to go out in the morning, and basically no one will go out in the afternoon, and generally every family will grab the day's food early in the morning, and then they will not go out much. The thief's expression became a little ugly.
