Coming ashore from the port, we came across the Yedan River.

Weiss looked weak and climbed into his black-edged carriage, and Liu Ci agreed to get into the carriage as if nothing had happened.

A few years ago, the Yedan River had a major flood that was rare in a century, and the river burst its banks, forcing the Yedan River to be diverted, so that there was a new ferry crossing that Liu Ci and others passed through when they came.

The diversion benefited the new port, but the river burst on the opposite bank.

A centuries-old city "Husum" is unprepared for a sudden flood, and the mages in the city use the magicians at the city walls to support it, but the disaster of nature is far beyond the forbidden curse.

Wherever the flood went, there was a pool of water.

The nobles' fertile fiefdoms and golden wheat fields were completely submerged, and they scrambled to climb high in their dwellings and survive the floods. But the civilians who lived together in the city, as well as the slaves who were even more miserable, suffered heavy casualties.

After this battle, the city of Husum was almost empty. After a few years of recuperation, the support of the Holy See, the nobles also reduced the rent, and the new lord of the city issued many decrees to attract commoners to settle down, but with little effect, Husum was still withered.

Lacking popularity, walking on the streets of the city, the shops on both sides are also sparse. Husum, lacking a base of believers, did not have a Light Priest stationed at him, and two Light Priests came to pick up Veblen's Priest.

Their status is higher than that of the priests, but they cannot be compared with the priests of light, and with the current situation of Husum with no future, they do not dare to underestimate the Veblen priests from remote parishes, and their attitude towards the convoy is quite respectful and polite.

Hearing that some people in the convoy were seasick, Husum was built next to the Yedan River, and the priests were very good at treating seasickness. There are a large number of perilla-like plants in the flower beds outside the church, and their leaves are picked and mashed, and applied to both temples, and the symptoms of seasickness are relieved in a few moments.

The dignified dark mage, when he was locked up in a black prison by the Holy See, the spirit in his bones still existed, but in front of everyone, the sides of his eyes were pasted with black paste, and he wanted to get into the cracks in the ground.

At dinner that day, Mr. Weiss refused to appear in front of people under the pretext that he was not well seasick, and rested early.

Husum is sparsely populated, but the city is not small. In the past, the church built here by the Holy See was quite large, and there were not many clergy in the service, so the church seemed empty, and the rooms assigned to Liu Ci and Sanman were very large.

Because I arrived at camp early tonight, it was not completely dark after dinner. Liu Ci asked Samman to carry a small bag of gold coins and prepare to visit Husum City.

Hearing her request, the two local priests looked very strange.

When Liu Ci and Sangman came out of the church, they immediately understood what the pastor's expression meant.

In Housum, at night, almost none of the shops on the street were still open. If it weren't for the fact that there were soldiers patrolling the night not far away, Liu Ci almost suspected that there was a ghost city in front of the master and servant.

Sang Man's feet trembled immediately, and he discussed with Liu Ci whether he could go back.

Liu Ci sighed: "It's okay, since it's out, let's take a look." Anyway, I was laughed at by the pastors of the church, and I couldn't be laughed at in vain. ”

Sanman's little head nodded, like a cute little chick, echoing his master's words.

Liu Ci took the little girl along the street, and encountered several waves of night patrol soldiers along the road, and the inspection was not particularly strict, and the whole Husum was not very popular, and it was estimated that thieves rarely visited here, so the soldiers acted laxly.

After walking a few streets, just when Liu Ci felt that the surroundings were gloomy and terrifying, he finally found that there was a bright light coming from the corner in front of him.

The corners of the little girl's tense mouth also relaxed, and she followed Liu Ci to a place with candlelight.

Walking around the corner, there are not only candlelight, but also human voices.

In front of the two of them was a row of simple wooden houses, the doors were open, and the people inside were buzzing, which turned out to be a tavern in business.

Walking into the tavern, Liu Ci felt a familiar taste.

She looked around and saw that the shops were drinking and bragging, except for some rough men, who happened to pass by to stop by the merchants. The smell of low-alcohol ale and low-quality butter permeated the cabin tavern, reminding her of Lady Betty of Amster.

The boss is not Mrs. Betty, but he is as shrewd as she is. Just pay a silver coin to the counter and enjoy the food at your heart's content, a move that has made the tavern popular in the ghost-like city of Husum.

Liu Ci chose a clean table, asked Samman to pay two silver coins, and went to pick up a few glasses of water and wine by himself.

Seeing that the two of them were wearing genders, they really didn't look like people who would appear in the wooden house tavern, and the drinkers were a lot quieter, looking a little restrained.

The sluggish Samman came back with food, and Liu Ci smiled and said, "Women are not welcome here, then the maid and I can only leave." ”

"Welcome, of course welcome, the whole city is like dead, we can't see a single young lady during the day, how can we not welcome women!"

The men poured ale into their mouths and muttered loudly.

Someone took the lead, others echoed it, Liu Ci picked up a few more words casually, and the atmosphere returned to the same lively as before.

Sang Man couldn't understand how Liu Ci could be like a fish in water in such a place, and in her impression, Miss Ci should sit in the bamboo forest, using delicate tea sets and charcoal, and spend a lot of time making tea, and then tasting it slowly. With a knife and fork in hand, enjoy a well-prepared meal on silver cutlery......

She couldn't figure out whether Liu Ci had really cultivated to the point where she could please anyone, or if she was really enjoying everything in front of her.

Of course Liu Ci is enjoying it!

Don't look at the rudeness of the big men at the bottom, talking to them, Liu Ci doesn't need to organize her language carefully, she lives freely, it seems to be out of the serious atmosphere of religion in the Bright Continent, she enjoys a short time like this.

After chatting for a while, a merchant sighed: "Girl, I see that you are also passing by Husum, if you can do it, you should leave this place as soon as possible." ”

Liu Ciqi said: "Is there anything else in Husum that I don't know about?" ”

The merchant just shook his head: "Many of the merchants I met said that this place is very evil. ”

Liu Ci asked again, but the merchant refused to mention this topic. The atmosphere in the tavern fell into a low ebb again because of his exclamation, and everyone seemed to know something, but they were very shy of it.

Liu Ci wanted to say something more, but suddenly became alert, grabbed Sang Man and disappeared like a gust of wind.

A few streets away, she flew back from the rooftop, just a few breaths. Placing Samman at the door of the church, Liu Ci quickly ran back to his room and found that the originally closed window had been opened and swayed slightly in the night wind.

And her ink bamboo has already fallen to the ground with a pot of bamboo. The pots were torn apart, revealing the well-developed roots of the bamboo and the scattered soil.

"I guess I was scared to death, hehe."

The tenacity of the ink bamboo, not afraid of falling at all, just picked up the pottery pot and wanted to move the ink bamboo, and touched the talisman buried by Liu Ci.

She has been preparing for a long time in order to get the stolen goods, and she has gradually lost hope, and tonight she is ready to take the initiative to leave to give the saboteur a chance, but she didn't expect that there would be stupid fish that could be caught by a straight hook.

Liu Ci picked up the ink bamboo, pushed open the window and looked out.

In order to facilitate the care of Veblen priests, the rooms of several important people were arranged on the same floor, and from her window, Liu Ci's room was opposite the window window of the Marquis Strel's room.

The marquis's window was not closed tightly, and he looked through the gap, but the others were not in the room.

But Liu Ci could sense it with his divine sense, and the tracer that was triggered, the seed of divine consciousness, was actually in the next room...... Next door, is Ves's room.

Liu Ci was pondering, and Sang Man panted and climbed upstairs.

Her own young lady suddenly grabbed her and flew again, and when she came back, she threw her downstairs, and the little girl Sanman was simply confused.

"Hey, Miss, this pot of bamboo has been broken!"

Sang Man covered her mouth and snorted softly, she knew how precious Liu Ci was this potted plant.

Liu Ciyi waved his hand, "It's okay." It's just that the flower pot is broken, but the bamboo is still intact, and I see that a lot of flowers are planted outside the church. ”

Sang Man quickly went downstairs and took the flower pot up, and Liu Ci personally reloaded the ink bamboo.

Samman stood next to him and stopped talking, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Just now, the people in the tavern said that Husum is very evil, and we all live in the church, should it be the same, Miss?" ”

Liu Ci smiled, "Where did you think of it, this has nothing to do with evil spirits, it's a man-made disaster!" ”

"Ahh

Sang Man's eyes widened, and Liu Ci motioned for her to keep quiet.

"Yes, go to sleep. By tomorrow morning, I'll know who's been thinking about my baby all the way. ”

Thief? Don't say what thieves dare to do in the church, ordinary thieves, who will notice a potted plant that they don't know at all? You must know that many of the religious artworks inside the church are worth a lot of money in their own right, and in the carriage parked outside, there is not even a truckload of gold coin thieves that have not been turned.

This thief obviously also caught Liu Ci's seven inches, if the ink bamboo was destroyed or lost, it would definitely make her heartache like digging meat than losing a few carts of gold coins!

For this kind of person who repeatedly provokes her bottom line, Liu Ci feels that she can't bear it, so she doesn't need to endure it anymore - she still put the ink bamboo at the head of the bed, and casually pasted a talisman in the gap of the window.

God of Light forbid, the stupid thief must not come a second time tonight, or she will not be able to guarantee his life......

It was probably Priest Veblen who had finished his conversation with the priests and returned to his room on the same floor, and the night was peaceful, and no further movement occurred.

Liu Ci got up early and practiced his sword in the open space in front of the church for a while, and every move was a killing move to seal his throat and see blood, which frightened the few residents in the city who came to the church to do cloth and ran away.

The local priest of Husum saw this scene from the window, his expression sad and at the same time happy. Fortunately, Priest Veblen had a teaching agent and would not have stayed in Husum for long, otherwise the few believers they had worked so hard to develop would have been so frightened that they would no longer dare to come to the door.

After Liu Ci finished practicing the sword, the long sword was not released, and he went to have breakfast with the sword on his back.

Just when I saw the Marquis of Stleiff coming down from the upper floor, he looked in low spirits, and his charming eyes were blue and black, and he seemed to have not been able to sleep all night.

Liu Ci found traces of his tracking charm on him.

However, she still had doubts and did not figure it out. When the Knights of Light and Veblen Priests appeared one after another, and Vis was still nowhere to be seen, Liu Ci felt that there was an unreasonable suspicion in this matter, and suddenly became aware - finally caught you!
