There was a thick layer of fog around it.

Lillette doesn't remember the first time she'd dreamed of it.

In the dream, he carried a kerosene lamp and walked through the streets of the royal capital of Valantiin. It's late at night, and it's so deserted that you can't see a single pedestrian.

He knew he was on his way to the Inquisition. Surrounded by abandoned ox carts and straw, even the sacred church is dilapidated, and the walls are crawling with cobweb-like cracks.

Lillette always felt that something was hidden in this thick fog, and it seemed that someone was secretly peeping at him in a place where the light could not shine.

"Wake up...... Wake up......"

He heard someone talking in the dark, hoarse and staccatoar.

Lillett alertly drew his half-sword from his back and watched his surroundings so cautiously that he didn't even dare to blink an eyelid.

"I will give it to you...... Seeing Eyes...... Take a good look...... this world. ”

The voice grew clearer and clearer, and Lillette tied the kerosene lamp to his waist and gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands, and a dark red light appeared in the ruined square in front of him.

Six stone statues of sword-wielding knights stood in the twilight, and the pedestal beneath their feet was surrounded by tattered tables, chairs, and carts.

A tall flame rose in the middle, beating and licking like a demon's tongue—there was a burn at the stake, where the Church had traditionally put heretics to death.

Lillet's heart was beating restlessly, and even though he had dreamed of it many times, the fear of being watched could still leave a deep chill down his spine.

"Such a world...... is the most real. Someone was laughing in a weird way, accompanied by the screeching sound of metal grinding.

The sword in Lillette's hand tightened and tightened, and the blade trembled uncontrollably, it was an extremely evil voice, it did not exist in reality, it seemed to exist in some dark depths that humans could not touch.

He approached the pile of tattered tables and chairs, peeling back the dusty cobwebs on them.

Then, Lillette saw a woman walking towards the pillar in front of the campfire. She wore a gray cloak, and her figure loomed in the haze like a ghost.

She held a silver mask in her hand, with only one eye carved on the front of the mask, and ...... on the back In the position of the eyes, there are two sharp cones nearly twenty centimeters long.

"You should thank me...... I will extradite you and get a new life. The woman's eyes were bleeding, and her other hand was holding a hammer and gently rubbing the mask.

Lillet's scalp tingled, and he saw the man tied to the pillar, a man in the bishop's red robe, who cried out in terror, and his voice echoed in the empty square.

"Stop! stop!" Lillette kicked the chair in front of her, smashing through the obstacles around her with all her might.

The woman didn't hear, and pointed her mask at the bishop's face, the sharp cones facing his eyes.

"No, no, no!

There was a crisp thump.

"Look closely...... Look closely!"

The woman's hammer slammed into the mask, and Lillette stumbled and fell to the ground. He smelled blood and heard the sound of his own heartbeat.

- A second blow, the hammer slams into the mask again.

The bishop's body twitched violently, and blood flowed from the mask, ticking and ticking.

"The Lord will ...... from your eyes Peek into everything...... You will also see everything clearly. ”

- the third, the fourth, firmly nailed.

The bishop struggled for a moment, his body gradually losing sensation and hanging his head.

Lillette gritted her teeth and stood up, pointing the tip of her sword at the gray-robed woman, her eyes almost bursting with rage.

This is murder, this is cruel murder! This wicked shrine maiden must not be spared! She must be judged!

"You haven't seen the world clearly. She smiled at him, her eyes bloodshot all over her jaw, "Wait for the Lord's coming......

A white mist enveloped her body, and the shrine maiden disappeared into the square as if she had evaporated from the world.

Lillette watched in horror, and it took a few moments before she stumbled towards the bishop's remains.

This demon ...... This demon!

He clenched his fists and slammed them into the pillar.

"I'll catch you. Just wait. ”

At this time, that sense of peeping reappeared. Lillette felt that there was something else hidden in the smog. He turned and looked around.

Eyes, hundreds of vicious eyes.

The stone statue was peeking at him, the crows flying from the trees were peeping at him, and the moon in the sky was peering at him like eyes.

Even......

Lilwright felt a shiver in her spine.

When he slowly turned around, the dead cardinal suddenly moved!

There was a snapping sound from his neck, and the eyes of the mask seemed to bleed, and then the cardinal's whole body was shaking wildly, as if something was going to burst his body, and he rushed out desperately!

Lillette's bloodshot eyes widened, what was that thing......

"Mr. Grandall?!"

Lillette heard someone shouting at him.

A young boy pushed the door open, "Mr. Grantall, I just heard you yelling in the bedroom, did something happen?"

Lillet rubbed her eyes, and the blazing sun shone on her face through the paper window.

He realized it was just a nightmare, a damn nightmare. He is now thousands of miles away from Valrantine, but he still dreams of what happened that night in Algona (Valantine's royal capital).

"Damned shrine maidens, do you think you can be arrogant forever?" Lillette cursed in her heart again, "Even if you hide in the East, I will catch you, burn you to ashes, and avenge the bishop." Oh, just wait. ”

He slammed the wooden bed and sat up.

It's a pretty oriental bedroom, and Lillette ponders. Surrounded by huge porcelain vases with glazed patterns of flowers and birds, his emperor also wanted to own such an exquisite collection.

"It was just a nightmare. Lillette picked up the sword and shield on the table and smiled strangely, "We have an old saying in Valantine, mosquitoes bite people so badly that we all dream of pinching them to death. ”

"It's really funny, how fun it would be if I could go to the West to explore like Lord Liu. The boy replied with a smirk.

After hearing this, Lillette touched his head and whispered, "You won't like it, in Gontoria, you can lose your life at any moment." I envy the peace and tranquility of your place!"

The boy watched in bewilderment as he got up and left, and lifted the curtain like a gust of wind.

The boy muttered, "Uncle Yiren doesn't know anything about us here......

Lillette followed the old eunuch waiting outside the door to dine in the Meditation Pavilion, passing through a long gallery where the ceiling was painted with immortals and flying gods with pipas in their arms.

The ponds and ancient wells that can be seen from time to time also contain a unique Zen feel, and although foreigners do not understand it, it is still amazing to see the pink blossoms dotted with the snow-covered plum trees around the pond.

The distractions of dreaming in the morning are also swept away.

"Your Excellency, wait. ”

It was Liu Zijin, he was holding a fan painted with landscape paintings, and walked over like a playboy, "Regarding your request, the emperor has approved it, and Dali Temple will have a cup of morning tea with you later, discuss the case, believe me, the witch will be arrested soon." ”

Lillette didn't show joy on her face when she heard this, but just asked flatly: "Does Dali Temple know how to solve witchcraft?"

"Witchcraft?" Liu Zijin was puzzled, "Where does witchcraft come from in this world, it's just a god pretending to be a ghost, and the people in Dali Temple are all experts in solving crimes, so don't worry." ”

Lillette sighed, "That's it." ”

The bishop's death came to his mind again, but there seemed to be something wrong, what was the end of the dream, what he saw at the end of the event, and what Lillette couldn't remember.

"I'm afraid it's going to be annoying. He said to himself, "There will be a lot of deaths......

Liu Zijin was a little angry when he heard this, isn't this underestimating the efficiency of the imperial court?

He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, put the fan "click" away, and said solemnly: "Today's Dali Temple Cheng is the emperor's shadow sword guard Lord Lu Shifeng, who once fought all over the invincible opponents in the pass in martial arts, and was nominated by the emperor. Moreover, he has never missed a case in judging, and all the people in Dali Temple are elites!"

Looking at Liu Zijin's serious appearance, Lillette shook his head and smiled: "Okay, then I'll wait and see." ”
