Chapter 105: The Hidden Village
A fork in the road ahead, two winding paths to the west and north, lined with dense woods.
It wasn't the first time Omina had made her way to this secluded village, so she jumped out of the carriage and tethered her horse to the tree by the side of the road, and turned into the dense forest without choosing any path ahead. Although she carried a basket in her hand, an umbrella, and wore the small leather shoes with heels that were most popular among aristocratic ladies, she was not bothered by these factors in the slightest, and walked briskly through the dense forest.
Soon, Omina heard the sound of striking iron coming from deeper in the woods, and she tightened her grip on the basket with a look of disgust on her face.
Because she thought that she would have to face the children in the orphanage this time, against a bunch of little mongrels who didn't have any hair, in fact, Omina was very disgusted in her heart, but she still had to pretend to like them very much, after all, these things were specially done by her for Yir and the people in the village. When Brother Il returns, he will have a better impression of me, Omina thought.
Last time she promised the lowly little beggars in the orphanage that they would go to see them and bring them snacks, Miss Omina, who had always been so beautiful and kind on the surface, naturally wanted to make a full set of plays, and this time she came to fulfill her promise.
Most of the reason why Omina left the castle and came here was because of Il.
That man was his father's biological son, and in addition to having a noble bloodline, his appearance was also the most exquisite Omina had ever seen, and he was also a powerful magician, which was not comparable to Allen's ordinary man except his identity.
And Brother Il also has such a great goal as subverting the church, Omina, who has lived with Nicholas since she was a child, is naturally full of dislike for the church, so Il's goal is to reunite with her heart.
But these are not the most important things, the most important point is that the man is still full of rejection of himself.
Thinking of this, Omina suddenly became indignant in her heart.
What's so good about that woman named Lynn?
If you want to have no figure, you have to look good, and you don't know how to dress yourself at all, and that dirty brown hair is simply the hair color that only people can have, oh yes, the little maid who cleans in Allen's castle every day has a messy hair, which makes people feel dirty when they look at it.
There is also that kind of tone and personality of speaking, where is there a little ladylike appearance, and he is a man in the skin of a woman, what is worthy of Brother Yier?
Isn't it because they've known each other for a long time? Hmph, that kind of rude woman, if only Brother Il could face up to my charms, he would soon dump her. Omina is confident about it.
Finally arriving at the entrance of the village, Omina sorted out her mood and changed into a harmless smile to greet the soldiers guarding the door.
The people of the church followed Omina, who was called Fili, a paladin who had been sent to the church to serve God since he was a child. Although he grew up in the church since he was a child, he has never been to a place that all believers of God yearn for, such as the Basilica of Santa Maria, and his martial arts are also learned from the paladins in the church.
Not being to the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore has always been his biggest regret, because the exposure to the church since he was a child has made him a crazy believer who is willing to give everything for the gods and the church.
He had expected Omina to come to an evil altar where the wicked cultists would meet, but the sight before him made Fili have infinite doubts in his mind.
Why is there a village here? There is no mark on the map, and there is no path leading to it, as if it was deliberately hidden.
There must be a ghost in this, Filip judged.
The entrance of the village was guarded, and he didn't dare to follow the village rashly, so he could only firmly remember the location of the village, and use Teacher Xiao to send him a magic scroll with him, and ask Teacher Xiao and the bishop to make a judgment.
He kept watch in the woods at the entrance of the village for a whole day, and there was no movement in the village, except for the tinkling of iron, which continued to echo in the ears of the churchmen.
"Maybe it's just a stronghold where Prince Allen secretly forged weapons, but what did that wicked woman do in the place where the weapons were forged? No, there must be ghosts in this place, I must find out what this place does. ”
Fili began to speculate, but he couldn't figure out what was going on, but he was convinced that there must be something wrong here, whether it was the woman or the village, it gave him an ominous feeling.
Waiting until the sun went down, Fili finally waited for a reply from the Bishop, who thought that the Bishop would arrange more important tasks for him to carry out, but only got a few characters from the Bishop with magical power: Something is wrong, return quickly.
Fili was stunned, he didn't expect that he would wait for such an order after a day.
"What's the matter? The Bishop and Teacher Xiao clearly instructed me to keep guard that evil woman all the time, why do you want me to go back now? Something happened to the church? How could it be, it couldn't be that the Bishop was worried about my safety when it was dark, so he wanted to trick me back?" Filip said to himself with a frown.
"Hmph, even if that woman can use evil spells, I am not afraid, God will bless his followers. ”
Fili slapped his chest with his left fist to express his belief that evil can never defeat the light, so he made a bold decision, he decided to wait until it was completely dark and sneak into this strange village to find out.
In the factory in the village, the workers are still carrying out the work in an orderly manner, and everyone is soaked in the hot factory, everyone is very tired, but their wages are completely linked to the quantity and quality of the parts they make, and the food and working environment here are very good, so these workers are very motivated, and few people are lazy.
In a remote part of the factory, a man and a woman were busy, with rows of wooden boxes plastered with flammable and explosive markings, and a beautiful blonde woman sitting beside them, occasionally handing them handkerchiefs to wipe their sweat.
Omina sat there bored and yawned, she had long wanted to leave, but thinking that Lindu had been helping with the work here, and that she had been so useless to leave like this, she had been spending time here, watching them do things she couldn't understand.
