Chapter 196: Witch - Lilith
Chapter 196: Witch - Lilith
The fire burned incessantly, and in the midst of the blazing fire, thick black smoke continued, and Cyril in the blazing fire kept howling, and this time was very long, almost an hour, with several additions of dry wood and fire oil in between.
The whole town hall is filled with the smell of smoky fire, including a burnt smell of roasted meat.
Zhao Lun took out a few masks, handed them out to the people around him, and then took a few people to distance himself again.
In the midst of the flames, the howling stopped, and the thick black smoke faded and finally disappeared, and the flames did not stop until half an hour later. The dry wood burned out, and the fire lacked dry firewood, and finally it was extinguished, and people in the vicinity could also see some of the conditions in the flames.
Inside, only wisps of ash remained, and there was no figure at all. The white cross, after burning for so long, is now blackened.
Someone brought new holy water and washed it against the ashes, destroying the last bit of evil in the ashes until the ashes were washed away, and then they washed the blackened cross, which was quickly washed clean and restored to its previous whiteness.
By the time everything had stopped, it was already early, and the people around to watch the excitement had dispersed.
Zhao Lun: It's the first time they've seen this kind of thing, from the beginning to the end, and when everyone else is gone, they're still here.
They were accompanied by Carpenter, who led them around the city today, and never left half a step from beginning to end.
"Let's go."
The excitement has been watched, the curiosity has been satisfied, and there is no longer any interest in staying, so he beckoned everyone to leave.
"I didn't expect the burn to be like this, it's really terrible."
"yes. I didn't expect to see this situation, and I was able to watch it all the time, it's incredible! ”
"Alan, what's going on?"
On the way, the ladies discussed the burning at the stake and then talked about their own problems. They were worried that they would be able to face such a terrible punishment without any drastic fluctuations, and that they did not feel like a normal person.
This thing is really abnormal, they originally thought that they would not be able to endure this cruel punishment, but they did not expect to endure it, and they could wait until the end of this punishment, and in the end there was no bad reaction.
When a normal person sees this situation for the first time, he will definitely not be able to bear to look at it directly, and then he can't stand this atmosphere. In the end, I was smoked by the strange smell of "barbecue", and I vomited non-stop.
In the crowd, looking at the lively people, there are some people who can't stand it and can't bear to look at it directly, those who have left a long time ago, and there are also people who vomit on the spot.
These "weak women" don't know. My own nerves, when did they become so big.
"This. It's normal, because you've become stronger, so how can a powerful person care about that? ”
"And it's the fallen monsters who died, do you feel sorry for the monsters? No! ”
"Over the years, you have been exercising, and you are no longer ordinary people. It's just that you don't know that you don't have the consciousness of the strong, but it doesn't mean that you are not strong enough, actually. You are no longer ordinary people. ”
What Zhao Lun said was the truth and close to the facts. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, usually abiding by the law and going out, absolutely according to the local rules, and did not look for trouble. Usually pay attention to the mouth and do not use the hands, when cooking, not even a chicken has been killed, and I can't bear to look at some tragic traffic accidents.
His series of performances are properly representative of typical ordinary people.
If he saw this kind of thing that happened before in his previous life, he would not only vomit, close his eyes, but his mind would be full of that kind of miserable howl. The voice, lingering, tormented him and kept him awake.
Since coming to this world, Zhao Lun has found that his nerves have become bigger, and he has become more tenacious, and when he looks back at the things that he was afraid of in the past, he only feels a little funny, and it is strange that he is afraid of these things.
When dealing with the bandits on the road, listening to the screams of those people pecked by birds, as well as the "purification" activities that took place in the city hall before, did not make him feel any fear, at most it made him feel novel, and after the matter passed, he would not take it to heart.
This is the experience gained based on his feelings, and with these experiences, Zhao Lun believes that the results of his guess are not much wrong.
A few people returned to the hotel, and the time entered the evening.
Zhao Lun gave Carpenter a gold coin, and Carpenter took the gold coin and happily went to greet them with the sumniest dinner.
The barbecue at the stake at the town hall did not dampen the appetite of the crowd, and they swept away the sumptuous dinner, after which Carpenter brought hot water, saying that it was to wash away the smoke and dust of the town hall and get rid of the strange smell.
Although the crowd was not affected by the smoke, they accepted his kindness, and the ladies even comfortably took a hot bath of flowers, filling their bodies with the smell of fragrant flowers.
Zhao Lun doesn't need to add any flowers to the hot water, so he just uses hot water.
With his ability, as long as he thinks, his body will not be stained with dirty, and he bathes not to wash away the dust, but to purify the dust of the soul, so that his own soul can be kept in the best state and not affected by the outside environment.
After taking a comfortable hot bath, I fell asleep and woke up the next day.
After a long period of exercise, Carpenter eagerly prepared breakfast for them.
Last night, Zhao Lun rewarded him with a gold coin, which could be enough for his three months' salary. The purchasing power of gold coins is very strong, enough for an ordinary person to spend for a year, and a poor person to spend for three years. This is a lot of money for him, and since he takes other people's money, he naturally has to do good things for others, so Carpenter works harder.
After breakfast, instead of going out, they listened to Carpenter tell the story of the day before he had heard it, and then the story of the fallen girl.
“…… That girl's name is Lilith, according to legend, she ********, she has incredible power, if anyone pronounces her name, when it gets dark, they will find him, and then dig out his heart and drink the blood of ****, in this world, almost no one can stop her. ”
"It was rumored that she was dead, and later someone provided evidence to prove that she was indeed dead, but now many people still don't believe it, afraid that she will come back to them, and they don't dare to call her by her name, but call her by the witch's."
"Why are you afraid of her returning, because there are rumors that it is not dead and that she will be resurrected in the near future to take revenge on the people of this land."
"Although the witch did not appear, the monster appeared more and more frequently, and many people believed this rumor."
When Carpenter told them this story, he also tried to avoid mentioning the name Lilith, even when he introduced it to Zhao Lun, he just wrote it, and then after a few people saw it, they quickly erased it, and then they didn't even mention her name anymore, and directly called her the title of witch.
Obviously, he also believed the rumor, and believed that the witch Lilith would return and take revenge on the city.
Carpenter, who was afraid of retribution, was very careful not to say her name, in case that day, the witch who came back would gouge out his heart.
"Sir, ma'am, I also warn you not to pronounce her name."
Finally, Carpenter wiped his sweat and cautiously reminded. The witch Lilith had put a lot of pressure on him, and he almost mentioned her name just now, but now that he thinks about it, he still breaks out in a cold sweat.
He is also afraid that the people around him will say this name, and if it is pronounced, he will also be unlucky. (To be continued.) )
