Volume XVII Chapter 21 Tilda and Patricia
Geralph. At this time, Martial still had some trouble sleeping.
His home is located near Kleber Square, on a tributary of the River Ill.
Therefore, he is using chat software to communicate with his fiancΓ©e Tilda.
Tilda. Hostine, a German woman, is also from Strasbourg. When Geraff said in front of John, "I have many German friends," he was referring mainly to Tilda.
"I've already met Mr. Li's nephew, who is younger than I thought."
"Mr. Li's nephew, I may have met him once." Tilda replied: "I met a young man from the East at the entrance of the Notre-Dame Cathedral, and I am afraid it is him. β
The so-called Notre-Dame Cathedral is certainly not the church of Victor Hugo's "Notre-Dame de Paris", but only the Place Cottenburg in Strasbourg, which is also a typical Gothic architecture. Gothic architecture itself originated in France, and is even called "French style", mostly Catholic church buildings, one of its biggest features is that there are often multiple spires, Cologne Cathedral in Germany, Westminster Abbey in England, etc., are typical examples of them. The Notre-Dame Cathedral in Fort Gordonplatz, as a Gothic building, also has some characteristics that are different from other Catholic churches, but these have nothing to do with the movie, and no actors have studied them.
However, Geralf thinks differently, he thinks that since "The Nittelaires" are closely related to the Middle Ages and religious culture, this knowledge needs to be added, and Westerners are already good at this. The role of Geraff is by no means a trick, so it is important to play it well no matter what. At the very least, we must not lose to NG.
"Notre-Dame Cathedral? How do you know it's Mr. Lee's nephew? β
"At that time I saw a young man from the East come to the church. His image and temperament make me feel. Not at all like a Strasbourgian. And I used to listen to him...... There is also no typical Alsatian accent. β
Strasbourg itself is the capital of Alsace, but the city has been fought over by Germany and France throughout its history, and it can be said that the people of this place have long been less concerned about whether they are German or French. The pronunciation of Alsatian itself and French is very different, which is influenced by the long history of changes, and in fact belongs to a Germanic language family, so for Strasbourgians, it is necessary to distinguish whether the other party is a real Strasbourg from the pronunciation. It's too easy.
"So you said hello to him?"
"Nope." Tilda typed out this line: "I always felt that I didn't like him a little." β
"Huh?"
"Indescribable feeling. If anything, I always feel that he will bring something ominous to our city. β
"Tilda, what kind of hunch or something?"
"I don't know...... It always feels like that. Forget it......" Tilda no longer dwelled on the question: "So, about the time capsule, he agreed, right?" β
"Well, I think he should be here too."
"Witness? Are you sure you really want him to come? β
"What do you mean by that? Tilda? β
"I always feel that there is no need to let the people of the Li family get involved in this."
Geralf was silent.
It was a long time before he typed that line.
"Is it because of the advice of the Phyllis family to your parents?"
"You can understand that. The Felice family, the oldest family in Strasbourg, is not one of them. You should know too. This family is rumored to be an exorcist, right? I firmly believe that is the truth. β
Tilda herself is a Christian, but she is not Catholic. Rather, it is Protestantism, a word derived from the German Protestanten, which means protestant. For Chinese, the difference between Catholicism and Christianity may not even be clear, but for Europeans it is very different. Protestantism emerged as a new denomination that split from the Holy See after the Reformation of the Catholic Augustine priest Martin Luther in the 16th century. As mentioned before, Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Protestantism are the three major denominations of Christianity, of which Catholicism was the first to be born, in 1054 due to the division of the Roman Empire into the Eastern and Western Roman Empire, and the Eastern Roman Empire Church became Orthodox Christianity, and then in the 16th century Martin Luther separated. Protestantism was divided into Lutherans, Calvinists, and Anglicans. Tilda, on the other hand, belonged to the Lutheran followers, a belief that had been passed down from her ancestors. In fact, the Phyllis family used to be Catholics, but for unknown reasons they converted to Protestantism.
"That said, it's been a long time ago. For me, the horror stories that happened before I was born were still too exaggerated. β
"Do you think it's a horror story?" Tilda continued, "I don't think so. β
"But I've already gone and told the other party, and Mr. John has also expressed his willingness to witness the opening of the time capsule seventy years ago."
"I know, I'm just talking. When I saw him today, I actually had a bit of a trance......"
"Trance?"
"His brother. Actually, I don't feel like their brothers at all, but somehow, I always feel that there are some similarities between them. β
"So...... John's brother used to live in Strasbourg for a long time. β
"Actually, I feel that there is something very strange about his brother."
"For example?"
He said that he had never been to Strasbourg before, let alone Alsatian, but he spoke Alsatian very fluently, and even I felt that the accent was a little old. But what made me feel most uncomfortable was that every time his brother saw the statue of Jesus in front of the church, he always showed a very uncomfortable look, which is difficult for me to describe, but I felt the look in his eyes at that time. It felt ......."
"You haven't told me that before."
"I don't think I need to say it."
"It's not early. If there is something. We'll talk about it tomorrow. β
The other end of the chat software. A pair of slender hands turned off the computer after typing "Okay, good night" on the keyboard.
Tilda ...... No, her real name is - Saro. Silphyllis. Actors of the Nineteenth Degree of Hell Theater. However, she and Yushuo have not officially met, but they have said hello tacitly.
"Tilda? Haven't you slept yet? β
There was a voice of talk outside.
"Come in."
The door was opened. The one who walked through the door was an Oriental woman.
"Patricia. What's the matter? Leno slowly shook the swivel chair in front of the computer and turned around, looking at the Oriental woman who opened the door and walked in.
The woman with the eastern face named Patricia, wearing a purple pajamas, hugged a pillow, and the meaning was actually very clear.
"I'm scared...... Can't sleep......"
According to the plot setting, Patricia is Tilda's older sister, but a half-sister. Patricia's mother was of Chinese descent and married Tilda's father when she married her into the Horstein family.
And Patricia's actor, although he can be regarded as a first-line actor. However, it is not really famous in the Twenty Degrees of Hell theater. Her name is Wen Yufan. is an actor in the thirteenth theater where the demon hunter Ye Xiang is located. And she, the one who was given the Nightmare Curse Symbiosis by the Marquis, has a rather terrifying spiritual talent.
Although Patricia is said to be Tilda's sister, her personality is completely different from Tilda's, of course, perhaps because Patricia is of Chinese descent, and Tilda is half German. However, the relationship between the two sisters is still very good.
"You're having nightmares again?"
Through the word "again" guΓ², it is enough to deduce a lot of information from the leno. I'm afraid Patricia will be an important character. In fact, as Wen Yufan's first-line actor, it is unlikely that she will be assigned ordinary roles.
"Hmm." Wen Yufan shook his head and shook it violently. But to be honest, with her physique, dreams can be completely decided by herself, and she actually has nightmares in the movie, which is enough to prove the horror of the hell movie theater, and any cursed thing may be insignificant to the movie itself.
"Okay, let's sleep together."
After turning off the lights, Saro and Wen Yufan slept together. Of course, the script information will also be used to communicate in the process.
"Did you find it?" Wen Yufan couldn't wait to ask: "The connection between the Horstein family and the Phyllis family?" And the Li family's ......"
"I've looked up a few letters, but I haven't found much of them. The descendants of the Phyllis family also don't know how long ago they left Strasbourg. β
"That's right...... I don't know what the Fisley family had said to the Horstein family before. β
"But it's certain that the Fellise family is an extremely old family in Strasbourg. Although he was once knighted by the German emperor, in fact, the Phyllis family did not know whether they were of French or German descent at all. What is certain, however, is that the Felice family was dissatisfied with the annexation of Alsace to French territory. β
"This ...... How do you know this? β
"Map. The photographs taken by our 'parents' in the photo album at the Felice house are clearly post-World War II photographs, but the map in the album shows that Alsace is not part of French territory. β
"Why don't they want Alsace to be annexed to France?"
Wen Yufan can be said to have two eyes on European history, in fact, most Chinese probably do not understand such history, and understand that the Alsace region is probably because of the mention in the "Last Lesson" of Dude when he was a student, and the French Alsace-Lorraine region was ceded to Prussia because of the defeat in the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. Wen Yufan only vaguely remembered the text he had learned before. Even her only concept of Arthas is probably the Lich King of World of Warcraft.
"Strasbourg is a microcosm of Alsace for a profound historical reason, which is a mixture of French and Germans, and the lack of belonging of the Alsatians to their own Frenchness, and the strange way in which the French themselves view the Alsace region. Because this region has been contested by Germany and France for many years, there is no autonomy, and the word 'motherland' is probably very unfamiliar to the people of this country. This led to the idea that Alsace would become an autonomous region or even be incorporated into German territory. β
"How could it be ......?"
"It's normal. Historically part of the Grand Duchy of Burgundy of the Holy Roman Empire, Alsace was the first to speak German until 1618. So ......"
"Forget it, it's just a horror movie, and I don't want to listen to history lessons." Wen Yufan then asked: "Haven't the actors in the fallen star scene yet appeared?" β
"Not yet. Still, it should be coming soon. β
And...... Sara believes that that period of history may still have a certain connection with this movie.
All information about Nitler's nationality is kept secret, and it is not known which nationality he belongs to. And combined with the skillful "Alsatian accent" of Dami Mona......
Nitlet, is it Alsatian? Or rather...... Is his hometown in Strasbourg?
This kind of thing is not impossible. In fact, Alsace belongs to the Diocese, a place with a long history of religious culture, just look at the countless churches in Strasbourg. If Nitlaire had been born in this place, it would well have taken the path of Catholicism and eventually becoming a clergyman. And what does the Phyllis family prove by the idea of making Alsace independent?
Right now......
Suddenly, Leo heard something slightly strange.
"Patricia, do you hear anything?"
"Huh?" Wen Yufan was immersed in thinking, and when he heard what Salo said, he quickly turned over and listened attentively.
The sound was as if something was knocking on the window.
Leo lifted the quilt and put on his slippers and walked to the window. Outside her window, the window of another house was very close, less than ten meters.
At this moment, she saw the window of another window open.
There was a man standing in front of the window.
The man's name was Modi. Arsen, a man in his fifties, was Tilda's neighbor. The Arsen family and the Horstein family have a good relationship, and Modi treats Tilda like a niece. Of course, he is also played by an actor.
It is said that there is no Mr. Modi in the script at this time!
At this time, Modi was standing in front of the window a little sluggishly, and he slammed his head against the window weirdly!
Leo let himself look surprised, then reached out and placed it in front of his eyes, his index and middle fingers separated by a slit between his fingers, and inside his fingers was Mr. Modi.
Then, she put her hand down, and in front of her, she actually entered Mr. Modi's house and stood in front of him who was banging on the window!
"What's wrong with you? Mr. Modi? β
Yushuo, who was in front of the window, also looked at Saro in astonishment. Is this a space-based curse? Could it be that the scene that appears in the crack can be easily teleported over?
In fact, for the "Demon Queen" Sara, this is just a little trick at all. In her heyday, she was far more terrifying than she is now.
"What's wrong with you? Uncle Audi? β
The Audi, who hit the window, had already begun to bleed from his forehead. Then he looked at Saro, his face already pale and gloomy.
At this point, Leno had realized something.
At this time, she looked into the dark corner of the room.
Leo raised his hand again.
The darkness in front of me, all the shadows, was automatically dispelled! In a corner, the true face of the hidden thing was revealed (this ability was enough to manipulate the life and death of the shadow mage Mo Niansheng, but Mo Niansheng still didn't know this)!
An incomparably large ......
Bat! (To be continued......)
PS: There is a bit of a transition in the current plot, and there will be more historical background introductions, so you should learn about European history......
