Chapter 105: Crazy Woman
The main castle of Changhe Town is actually the deepest inner city in the city, close to the gentle lake in the middle reaches of the Tongtian River.
The inner city had a separate gate and a high inner wall, from which a wide square was enclosed.
The innermost part of the square is the main building of the castle.
The tall main building is backed by the lake, and the walls of the main building are connected to the inner city wall.
Even if the outer walls of Changhe Town were to fall, the inner city would still be equivalent to a complete fortress.
This is also the norm for the various pioneering towns in the eastern region of the Lion Kingdom, which are all based on the original small castles and continue to expand layer by layer.
On the whole, the inner city of Changhe Town looks like a luxurious courtyard with a large square, the main building has five floors, and the flag of Duke Elfwan is hung on the roof.
It is still the residence of Lady Bella, the widow of the Duke of Elfwan.
The guards in the inner city did not stop Amy, after all, the little princess of Godric's family was still known, and they did not dare to use weapons against her.
But an old butler with a bunch of attendants 'respectfully' stopped at the gate.
It was normal not to let people in, and in fact there was probably not a single nobleman who was not open-eyed during this time to 'visit' Ms. Bella.
Everyone is not stupid, and no one dares to get involved in the matter between the two dukes.
But Amy is only an eighteen-year-old girl, and it is normal for her to come over to visit a noble pregnant woman, just like a child who does not understand politics.
After all, many young aristocrats will behave in the name of 'not knowing anything'......
Amy wasn't sure what was going on with Lady Bella, was she controlled by Duke Alma? Or is it something else?
But Amy had to go in, and she could take refuge here. The more dangerous the place, the safer, that's what the teacher said.
Forsett wouldn't be stupid enough to use a knife or a gun in the Inner Castle.
"Lady Bella is about to give birth, isn't she? I came to visit her. β
Amy motioned for the old butler to give way.
"My wife is only seven months pregnant, and she is still early to give birth, and my wife has been raising a baby recently, and I don't see anyone ......."
The old butler smiled and was very polite, but he didn't move a single step.
It is indeed inconvenient to entertain guests at seven months pregnant, and if it is an ordinary nobleman, he has already turned around and left.
But Amy has nowhere to go, and Forsette is probably following behind, and it is not appropriate to let Klose and them do it directly, and it will be true.
"I came all the way to visit, and you didn't let me see it? It's not appropriate, isn't it? β
Amy glanced at the old butler, and her eyes were not good.
The old butler smiled professionally and was quite firm: "Madame said, no one is seen, sorry, Miss Amy." β
After speaking, he also brought an old face over: "Please leave here, Grand Duke Alma is not allowed to ......"
"Smack!"
Before the old man could finish speaking, he was slapped to the ground.
Amy had a round hand and was wearing deerskin gloves...... She hadn't slapped anyone else's face, but she had wanted to do it for a long time.
"No one will stop me when I enter the palace! I didn't expect this little broken place to be eye-opening! I don't care about you! β
Amy has seen a lot of this kind of gentlemanly style, but this is the first time she has tried it herself, and she pretends to be quite similar.
But it has to be said that this style is very effective - the old butler covered his face on the ground and picked up his teeth, and Amy swaggered into the square with her head held high, and walked towards the main castle building.
The attendants looked at each other, intending to stop them, but they were knocked out of the way by Klose and them.
There were quite a few soldiers in the square and on the inner city walls, but they couldn't see what was going on inside the city gates, so Amy swaggered and led people into the inner city square.
The squires were a little overwhelmed, they had never seen a nobleman completely ignore the two Dukes' families, Alma and Elfwan.
Dare to break through like this, obviously a stubborn princess with a bad temper, no one wants to touch the mold.
The Great Swordsmen of Metenheim were originally not allowed to enter the main building, so it stands to reason that they could only stay in the square and wait.
However, after Amy's slap, Klose strode to the gate of the main castle with a man to escort Amy.
The attendants were still hesitating, not knowing whether to stop them.
By this time, Forsette had already chased after him.
But when he saw Amy leading people to the door of the main building from a distance, he suddenly stopped, did not continue to chase, and did not even call anyone to stop Amy.
It seems that he is also hesitating about something.
But then, he even asked all the soldiers in the square to gather, and told everyone to withdraw from the inner city square, retreat outside the castle walls, and close the castle gates.
The gates of the inner city were shut.
Amy glanced back, was Forsette planning to lock himself in here?
That's fine.
Anyway, so many people on the streets of Changhe Town saw him, and those merchants were very familiar with Mai Xiangling, if he and the people of Metenheim had not gone out, someone would soon find out.
The main building was closed and there was no one guarding it.
It seems that from the moment you enter the square, the main building is closed?
When you think about it, the soldiers seem to be far from the main building, either on the walls of the inner city or on the periphery of the square.
In this case, it doesn't feel like guarding the main building, but like guarding this building?
Yes, presumably they had to prevent Lady Bella from escaping......
Amy thought.
Now that there is no one in the square, Amy has no scruples, and directly let the Metenheim break in.
A group of people entered the main building.
The hall inside the door is very spacious, and there are quite a few maids inside.
Seeing a group of strong men with big swords on their backs coming in, they wisely did not shout, but shrank aside one after another, looking very experienced in this kind of thing.
Amy shook her head and smiled, of course these people have experience, and the so-called 'rebels' before may have come in this way and killed Elfwan's family.
"Where's Lady Bella?"
Amy drew her sword and pointed at a maid.
"Madame is upstairs...... Garret. β
The maid was quite cooperative, and took the initiative to squat down, holding her head in both hands.
Amy was a little surprisedβthe guys trained these maids pretty well, were they so sensible?
But before she could go upstairs, a group of people came downstairs.
It was a group of female soldiers in fine leather armor, a dozen people, carrying guns and axes on their backs, and holding foreign daggers in their hands, which looked like they might be the escorts of the main building.
This building seems to be full of women, even the soldiers are women?
The men of Metenheim stepped forward with their swords in hand, but the women did not attack.
The leader was a tall woman, wearing a strange steel light helmet, with only her eyes and mouth exposed, and her leather armor and boots were gorgeous.
The leather armor only protected the vital points, and the white skin of the neck and arms was all exposed.
She stood on the stairs and looked at Amy condescendingly: "It's beautiful...... Gee...... What a perfect virgin ......"
She was laughing.
The lips were extremely red, lined with a snow-white chin, and it even looked like a kind of bewitching beauty.
After speaking, the woman slowly paced down the stairs and walked up to Amy: "Do you want eternal beauty and power?" Little Beauty...... Hey hey ......"
The woman was at least 1.9 meters tall, about the same height as Klose, and looked like a giantess to Amy.
Klose strode in front of her, his sword pointed at the strange woman.
But this tall woman completely ignored the big sword and the man in front of her, and kept staring at Amy behind Klose, the corners of her mouth exposed outside the light helmet curled even more, and she even gently added a circle of lips with her tongue.
It's obviously a flirtatious tone.
What do you mean?
Amy was a little hairy, she originally planned to kidnap Lady Bella, but she didn't expect to meet a pervert!
Amy took a step back and drew her sword, "Who are you?" What about Lady Bella? β
"Madame is giving birth to a messenger of God...... Hahaha......"
As the woman approached, Amy suddenly felt dizzy and her whole body seemed to be a little weak.
"Poisonous!"
Klose screamed at this point, then took out a handful of grass foam from his body and wiped it on his face, and attacked the woman with his great sword.
All the Metenheim people also took action, and ten great swords flashed in a huge curtain of light under the crystal lamps in the castle hall.
The only one who didn't act was Summer, who shoved a handful of grass foam into Amy's hand: "It's Artemisia, take it in your mouth!" β
Then take a sword next to Amy to protect her.
Ever since the last time Klose and the others were charmed by Risardillan with the Serpent's Heart Stone, they had been carrying the cruciferous foam with them, and now they felt a little abnormal, so they immediately used it.
Artemisia itself is a common herb that can detoxify many kinds of toxins, and can also be used to decant wine or induce vomiting due to its very pungent smell.
Although I don't know if this weird woman used a snake heart stone, after smearing a handful of crucifixion, Klose immediately became energetic, and it was indeed effective anyway.
"Huh? Found it? Fall! β
Still smiling, the woman took off a round shield that looked like a shield of the southern desert tribes.
Blocking left and right with a shield in one hand, he was able to block the full force of Klose's two-handed sword.
However, after a few rounds, Klose didn't go down, but got more and more energetic.
The woman finally stopped laughing, and realizing that her poison had no effect at all, pulled a hammer from her back and dealt with Klose seriously.
Unexpectedly, that woman's skills were unexpectedly strong.
In her hand was a strange one-handed hammer with two wing-like heads.
However, the hammer surface is large and flat, not like the mace commonly used by ordinary knights, but more like a carpenter's hammer with an elongated handle and a pattern.
It stands to reason that this wide flat-hammered blunt instrument is less likely to be armor-piercing, and it will be bulky.
But in that woman's hand, she was so flexible that she even knocked Klose's plate armor out of shape with a single blow.
Although Klose also used his color to smash the woman's shoulder armor with his color, relying on the length advantage of the great sword, he was knocked back by a hammer and did not use his strength, and the woman's shoulder armor was not even cut.
Not only is this woman comparable to Klose in strength, but her skills are no worse than Klose!
This is by far the strongest enemy Klose has ever faced, apart from Lord Lord.
The heavy greatsword swung again, and Klose used all his strengths to fight the woman.
But she was the only one with such a strong woman, and those female soldiers with guns and axes were no match for other great swordsmen, and it didn't take long for several to be killed or wounded.
Seeing that this group of men was so strong, the woman parried Klose's attack while looking for Amy's traces.
But Amy had already wisely retreated to the corner behind the men, still holding a crossbow in her hand - his teacher, who was good at tying tickets, had said that if you were not good, then don't stay in a place where you can be easily caught......
And Summerer never left Amy's side.
The Metenheim had quickly killed most of the female soldiers, but the female soldiers seemed to be very crazy, and the only four or five men who were left were still rushing to kill, feeling completely unafraid of death.
The woman finally realized that she couldn't handle the menβher shield was shattered after another successful block.
She rolled out of the battle circle with a nimble roll and ran upstairs.
"What a warrior! You can be God's servants! β
As she ran to the upper floor, her voice came down.
"Heresy?!"
Amy realizes that her so-called god is probably not a good thing: "Klose, catch up with her!" β
Klose had actually chased after her at the same time she gave the order.
The men quickly cleared out the remaining female soldiers and chased Amy upstairs.
The women soldiers who fought with guns and axes all fought to the death, and no one surrendered, no one feared, and no one even spoke.
And the maids downstairs trembled one by one, and no one dared to get up.
"Find her!"
Amy assigned the men to search layer by layer, and finally, found the woman on the top floor.
By the way, Mrs. Bella was also found.
They were in a room.
A year ago, Amy had met Lady Bella and recognized her, and she had the impression that Lady Bella was just a middle-aged woman who was a little more extreme.
But now what Amy saw was a somewhat strange ...... Female lunatic?
She did not find Lady Bella's in the castle owner's bedroom, but in an indescribably eccentric room.
The room was filled with many sculptures, each one a man tall, and seemed to be some strange deity.
Or demons.
It was probably the work of Lady Bella, for she was still carving a piece of wood with a knife.
Each of the sculptures in the room looked much the same, a strange female figure with a goat's horn on her head.
But all the sculptures, without faces, and all seemed to be bloodstained, looked strange and terrifying.
Lady Bella herself did not appear to be pregnant, at least not with a large belly.
But she was covered in tiny little wounds.
The wounds were shallow and small, but the numerous wounds had shattered her skin like fish scales.
And Lady Bella's next action let Amy know the source of those small wounds.
"I swear by blood...... Pray for your coming......"
The carving knife in Lady Nela's hand, which was originally carving wood, suddenly stabbed into her arm, bringing out a few drops of blood from the carving knife, and then continued to carve it.
The blood followed the movement of the carving knife, leaving wisps of bright red markings on the wood.
Amy shuddered, and the hairs stood on end all over her body.
Even Klose clenched the sword in his hand, and the nervousness was palpable.
This kind of pain is almost equivalent to chopping alive!
Or chop yourself with your own hands!
This is by no means tolerable to ordinary people.
But Lady Bella didn't seem to feel anything, and she kept her head down at the wood, muttering something in her mouth.
Seems crazy?
"Lady Bella?"
Amy screamed, but received no response.
And the tall woman who had been standing in the room talking something, and saw Amy chasing her and blocking her in the room, and she didn't seem to panic.
She paid no attention to Amy, but looked at Lady Bella earnestly, with a smile still on her lips.
ββ¦β¦ That's what the prophet said of the Goddess as the carrier, see, that's the perfect carrier...... Hahaha......"
The woman laughed more and more maniacally: "Only noble and beautiful virgins...... She can make the goddess come! Bring the heroes of Pande! β
Lady Bella finally reacted, and turned her head to look at Amy, whose originally godless eyes gradually brightened.
It can even be said that there is a sparkle in the eyes.
"Amy...... Princess! That's right...... Princesses must be able to! β¦β¦ Pander's Hero ......"
Amy shuddered, these are two crazy people, right?
Unexpectedly, I originally planned to kidnap Mrs. Bella and get out, but now it seems that these two madmen are afraid that it will be difficult to deal with!
"Catch them first!"
Amy waved her hand, and Klose led the men to the woman.
Afraid of the woman's skill, they just slowly surrounded it.
The tall woman was forced into the corner of the room step by step, she smiled again, looked at Klose and said, "The perfect warrior...... Goddess Ereda will pamper your ......"
He then threw the hammer in his hand at Klose.
Klose slashed the hammer aside with a sword, and then charged over to arrest someone, but the wall behind the woman seemed to have a secret door flipped.
The woman just disappeared!
"Catch up with her!"
Naturally, the men also saw the overturned plank, and Klose rushed over and smashed the secret door with a sword, but there was no room behind the door.
After smashing the door, the river breeze blew in the room, blowing sawdust everywhere in the room.
The door is empty, and below is the Tongtian River!
Klose almost fell headlong.
This is the room at the very edge of the castle, and beyond the wall, there is a gentle and wide lake behind the town of Long River.
Looking down, there were huge ripples on the water, and the woman had apparently jumped straight into the lake from a height of five stories, and now there was no one to be seen, probably diving.
The people of Mettenheim can actually swim, but their heavy armor doesn't allow them to jump into the river...... Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen into a coma before.
There was no way to pursue him, and Klose retreated.
Lady Bella, on the other hand, was still staring straight at Amy, babbling words in her mouth.
The knife in her hand was clearly not a weapon, and the woman in her fifties, covered in wounds, looked unthreatening - except for the obvious abnormality of her mind.
It's better not to force a madman......
"What the hell is wrong with you, Lady Bella? Since you still know me, why don't you tell me what's going on, maybe I can help you? β
Amy was going to ask about the situation first, at least for now, and it seemed that she should be able to communicate.
Lady Bella did not speak, but smiled, her eyes becoming more and more eerie.
In the end, he actually laughed wildly: "Hahaha...... I know...... I know! β
After shouting a few times, she actually stabbed herself in the chest!
"Damn! Restrain her! β
Amy was about to break down, and she blurted out swear words, what kind of person is this......
She could now understand why the lord occasionally swore involuntarily.
You really can't deal with crazy people and fools!
