Chapter 141: Witch Hunting (7)
It's like an endless nightmare, and even though I know it's false, I still chuckle in my heart when I see the dark room.
But Jiang Chenchuan was not too alarmed, he calmly lit the remaining oil lamp in the house, and the messy scene was displayed in front of him, the door lock showed signs of being broken, and the only chair was also smashed.
It seems that someone discovered Dorotia's existence and came over and forcibly took her away.
"These people ......"
Jiang Chenchuan was a little angry, she obviously looked like a child, but she couldn't escape the tragic fate.
He chased after the traces left at the scene, stopping and stopping along the way, and asked some passers-by in order to find Dorotia.
"I'm sorry, but I'm asking, have you seen a girl who is about this tall and so big...... Wounded and dressed in linen......"
"What do you mean...... Is it Dorotia? ”
The man seemed to know something about Dorotia, and when he saw Jiang Chenchuan nodding, he pointed in the direction of the city and said:
"If you want to find her, you can try your luck there."
"Where is it?"
Jiang Chenchuan looked at the winding road, he was not familiar with the terrain of Ronalke City, and it would take a lot of time to explore all the way, so it became necessary to know the destination in advance.
"The Holy Altar, today is the Sacrifice of the Holy Maiden, and she is the one who was chosen."
"The festival of the Holy Maiden?"
The timeline seemed to be chaotic, with blazing flames rising all around, passers-by's faces visibly distorted, and the light of the flames lit the path to the altar, as if it had been specially directed to him, afraid that he would not find the location of the altar.
"Let's go check it out."
I don't know who is saying this, after a short pause, Jiang Chenchuan still followed his previous thoughts, stepped on a winding path, bypassed the street full of flames, and walked to the location of the altar.
There was no need to get closer, the cheers of the crowd and the cruelty of the human heart could be heard from afar, Dorotia was tied to the cross, her face was expressionless, her eyes were empty, she seemed to be staring into the distance, but there was nothing but the dark night sky.
She was almost about to give up the desire to survive, and the faces of the people in the audience were blurred, but without exception, they were all full of happy smiles and talked excitedly with each other, which was in stark contrast to the despair on the stage.
"Dorotia......
I don't know where a worried call came from, but it was too quiet, and Dorotia didn't hear it.
Jiang Chenchuan turned his head to look and found that in a corner, there was a girl of the same age as Dorotia, with dark brown hair like a waterfall, and her pale yellow eyes showing worry.
Although she deliberately hid in the corner, it was obvious that her family was better off than everyone else.
There are a few people hiding in the crowd who seem to be guards, silently protecting the girl in front of them.
"Do you know Dorotia?"
Jiang Chenchuan walked over and tried to communicate with the girl, he squatted down and lowered his posture to lower the vigilance of the guards against him.
"Acquaintance."
The girl nodded vigorously.
"Do you have anything to say? What's ...... ...... not to be known by others"
From the girl's expression and the words that he wanted to say and stopped, Jiang Chenchuan saw a hint of clues, and there were people around him, as if he didn't want him to have too much contact with the girl.
"You can tell me, and maybe, I can help you."
Try to calm down her voice the atmosphere here is incompatible with the excitement around the girl hesitated for a moment and looked around before slowly approaching jiang chenchuan.
"Big brother, actually...... I am the saint, I should be in ......"
"Goletri! What are you doing there! I've told you all, don't talk to strangers. ”
Before the girl finished speaking, she was pulled over by a person, who glanced at Jiang Chenchuan with vicious eyes, as if warning Jiang Chenchuan to stay away from this child.
It's just that the name Goletri is a little familiar......
My name is Goletley......
The words of that night reappeared like a movie, and Jiang Chenchuan was stunned for a moment.
"Early winter."
Goletri was led away by the adults, she glanced back at Jiang Chenchuan, as if she wanted to tell him,
Save Dorotia.
His mind was in a trance for a moment, and a violent sound suddenly sounded in his ears, and the impact pulled Jiang Chenchuan back to the illusion.
He looked up and saw Dorotia drenched, the water running down her forehead, across her white cheeks, touching the wounds on her body, and frowning slightly.
"Damn...... You all deserve ...... damned."
She muttered something, but the cheering people didn't pay attention to a child's words.
A bad premonition struck, Jiang Chenchuan seemed to feel something, he sensed the hatred in Dorotia's eyes, and understood why she hated all this.
Although these are not true, it does not mean that Jiang Chenchuan intends to sit idly by, he walked through the crowd, ignoring the noisy sound in his ears, and it was only at this moment that he looked at Dorotia on the stage.
The empty eyes reflected the jumping firelight, and the figure of Jiang Chenchuan walking towards him.
"I'm going to ...... Curse you, curse the whole city of Ronalque. ”
"Dorotia!"
Jiang Chenchuan shouted at her.
Everyone else didn't seem to notice Jiang Chenchuan's actions, only Dorotia slowly raised her head and showed a perfect smile at him, she moved her mouth, and seemed to say to Jiang Chenchuan in the air:
"You...... Nothing can be done. ”
Jiang Chenchuan almost touched the platform, and just wanted to turn over, but in the next second, a torch was thrown from the crowd and fell in front of Jiang Chenchuan.
At this moment, Jiang Chenchuan knew that what had just been poured on Dorotia's body was not water, but a combustible substance like oil.
As soon as it touched the flames, it began to burn violently, and the flames blocked Jiang Chenchuan's progress, and along the original paved route, Goletri was ignited at once.
She stood in the midst of the fire, as bright as a burning madness, and the crowd erupted in cheers, and Goletri was caught in her arms in the distance, trembling with fear.
See?
That's what happened to me.
"Dorotia!"
Jiang Chenchuan shouted loudly, he wanted to rush into the fire to save people, but the flames suddenly exploded, and the heat wave knocked him back a few steps.
Immediately afterward, he saw a mark on Dorotia's chest, as if something was providing her with a steady stream of strength.
She struggled on her own, leaving a deep blood mark on her wrist and flames burning in her face, but even then, she didn't give up for a moment.
"I'm going to ...... I must ...... Stay alive. ”
Click-
The stick was burned, and Dorotia fell to the table.
