Chapter Twenty-One: The Blindfold Mask

Because of the agreement with Rye to assist, there will be Rye's summoning charm in front of the church.

In any case, it is not good to be alone in such a place. I don't even know where to go.

At this time, the demon hunter inadvertently saw the sky-high white light in the distance.

It was the white light from the Tower of Remembrance.

However, for Carnett, a wingless man, it was too far away.

It takes a lot of time to get there.

Teleportation steles are of course a good solution, but I don't know where they are yet.

At this point, he desperately wants to see Lusha. Because when I came here in the past, Lusha led the way. This place was unfamiliar to Canette.

Many of the Forsaken are difficult to meet in normal times. Usually only through summoning charms can we meet each other.

Lutha was a special case to Cannet.

Because I can always see her. And among the Forsaken, she is also a rare warm-hearted person.

Not too far from the route of the church. But it didn't take long for him to suddenly become vigilant.

A silver-haired girl in a metal mask, unseen, about thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in a tulle white dress, was sitting on a rock on the side of the street, seemingly asleep.

She didn't move, and seemed to sleep deeply.

It doesn't seem to be an enemy...... Canette was relieved, and approached the girl. It's good that someone can communicate.

This guy is probably also a forsaken. Wake her up and ask for something.

"Ah......h And when she looked up and saw Cannet's face, she couldn't help but be stunned, and then her tone became excited: "Ah, yes, it's you!"

"Who are you talking about?" the witcher didn't expect this, and hurriedly took a step back.

β€œ...... Sorry, I recognized the wrong person. The girl's body trembled slightly, and her tone seemed to be a little lost: "The one who entered by mistake...... bar. That's not good. If you don't get out quickly, you might become like me. ”

...... Is it wearing an iron mask or becoming a forsaken......

Why is this girl wearing such a metal mask...... But forget it. There must be some reason for this, anyway.

If you look closely, it's a half-eyed mask.

Only tiny cracks allow the girl to see the scene outside.

I always feel like I've seen this design somewhere......

Canette couldn't help but start thinking about it, and he definitely had seen this mask in his impression.

Forget it, it's not too important...... After thinking about it for a while, Carnet simply stopped paying attention, and began to inquire about the girl urgently, wondering if she had seen her companion who had been separated from her.

He emphasized that it was a combination of three Aiya maidens and a gray-haired man.

"In that case, I didn't see it. For some reason, the sad girl thought about it for a moment, and then she definitely denied it: "I'm just sitting here, and I don't see anyone." ”

"That's what ......" Carnett's uneasiness intensified, and he couldn't help but start thinking again.

"Sir, you're here with a friend?" the girl seemed troubled by this: "Then why are you separated......?"

"I don't know. Carnet was again speechless when asked, "I don't know what's going on like this." ”

"Occasionally, I come across someone like that. The girl hung her head, revealing her snow-white neck. She whispered a warning that made Canette wary because of it: "Sir...... Depending on the direction you're going, it looks like you're heading towards the church...... But be careful when you don't go inside. ”

"Is it dangerous?" the witcher heard this, and had to pay attention to it.

"Hmm. The girl nodded, I don't know if it was an illusion, and the eyes under the overlay mask seemed to glow red: "If you go in, it's dangerous." Be prepared. ”

"That'...... What's in there?" and since the girls had warned about it, Canette thought it would be better to ask.

He hung his cane back behind his back and was suddenly curious: it would be best if he could know the truth without having to go into the church.

Why did Ryan keep the portrait of the church as a reminder of Canette, not to mention that she had left a summoning charm here in the past.

It seems that she knows there is danger inside.

"Inside, there is the shadow of the ruins of memory. The girl whispered, "There, it's already very unstable. ”

Buried memories give birth to pain, resentment, and sorrow...... And the unwillingness to be forgotten. The fears that people abandon in the depths of their memories also lurk in them.

Not only churches, but also all landmarks that ignore the distortion of time and space remain underground, and the erosion of darkness remains and gradually spreads.

Well. I've heard Lusa say these things...... As soon as she heard the girl say that it was a shadow of the ruins of memory, Carnet suddenly remembered. But this still baffled him: he remembered that although the landmarks lurked in the depths, they were just normal and not dangerous.

"Isn't there no harm in the shadows in the depths of the landmark?" said Cannet, confused.

"It's very unstable. The girl whispered, obviously worried: "The landmark will disappear." The reason for this is that there is too much shadow erosion. ”

...... This Lusha hadn't told me about it.

"Anyway, you'd better not go deeper......" The girl seemed to think that it was safer not to go in at all, so she reminded worriedly, "It's not bad to just go to the church...... Hope your friends are there. ”

"I hope so......" Canette also felt that it was useless to continue chatting, so he thanked him and moved on.

The girl just nodded, and watched him leave calmly. However, suddenly, at this time, he said softly with some sadness: "By the way, sir...... Sorry for the gaffe at first. It's just that...... I think you're familiar. ”

"Is that so?" Canette stared at her, inexplicably feeling that the girl's figure was a little familiarβ€”of course, he quickly discarded the idea, and began to believe that it was the illusion that the blindfold mask had given him.

β€œ...... Well. The girl was thoughtful and seemed a little lost. After a moment, she suddenly raised her head and reminded the witcher, "Oh, yes. Please don't...... Ring the bell at midnight in the church. ”

"Huh, what do you mean?" asked the witcher, confused.

"......" The girl was silent, just looking at him quietly. The blood-red pupils seemed to be a little helpless.

In view of the girl's strange attitude, Canette had no choice but to turn away.

Is it dangerous inside the church...... As Canette walked, he couldn't help but think about it: what was Rhy's strange attitude after he heard that I was going to the Forgotten Lands?

The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to go inside the church. But he knew it was death, and he hadn't lived long enough. As for the sentence just now...... I really don't understand the meaning.

In Ryan and my world, the sight of entering the church should be the same. Because it's a landmark, it's a public area.

The church is already very close. Canette felt a little lighter.

After all, it was not what he had envisioned at the beginning. There are no monsters ambushing here.

The area is relatively peaceful.

In this way, Carnet did not encounter any danger along the way. Until he was about to arrive at the church, he was suddenly stunned.

Obviously no one was pushing, but the church door slowly opened by itself.

Perhaps because someone from another space pushed the door open, and he himself was not visible to Canette.

Suddenly feeling a little uneasy, Canette hurried over.
