390 Sudden slaughter
On the surface, the Chelsea sisters' mother was a gentle and virtuous middle-aged woman, with the same supple blonde hair as the sisters, and she looked very beautiful in the sun.
If it weren't for the words of the Holy Spirit Christine, Melen would not have suspected that the other party was actually a black knight, because she really didn't seem to be very powerful—at this time, the middle-aged woman was sitting in the garden, whispering something to her husband, who was kneading her shoulders behind her, with a soft smile on her face, no different from the wife who accompanies her husband in an ordinary family.
At least from the naked eye, Meren didn't see anything special about her, except that her face was a little pale, as if she was seriously ill.
But by removing the invisible suspicions of the lady herself, and focusing on her as a person, Melen was able to clearly see the anomalies of the scene at the moment.
The anomaly comes from two people, one of whom is Alyssa. In the sunlight, the blonde girl was hazy and translucent, ghostly, floating next to the middle-aged woman who appeared to be a black knight, and it didn't look much different from the previous posture floating around Merun.
However, bursts of strange gray mist continued to emerge from the middle-aged woman's body, and as if it was being plundered by a great suction, it was quickly absorbed by Alyssa, who was floating in front of her.
This is very obvious, like a vacuum cleaner with full power falling into an old house full of dust.
The appearance of the "dust" surging wildly and being swallowed even looks a little violent. But whether it was the middle-aged couple who were talking to their husbands in a low voice, or the young version of Mrs. Chelsea next to Mellen, they all ignored it as if they didn't see it.
Another anomaly is Sylvie. Compared to Alyssa, with her long silver hair, she looks the same as the girl in Mellen's memory, but her expression is obviously much more mature.
So Mellen guessed for the first time that this was not Sylvie
"I", but the future version of the Mother of Heaven, has always been mysterious. But even with a full understanding of the mystery of this woman, Meren didn't expect her to appear here!
And like Alyssa, no one can see her, except Mellen. Even Alyssa, who was invisible to others, didn't seem to notice that there was a silver-haired woman beside her, silently watching her frantically devour some of her grandmother's substance.
"Why don't you speak?" Yin Sabella, the girl who was hiding with Melun, spoke again. Because she couldn't see everything Mellen saw, she was obviously very confused by Mellen's silence, and she obviously didn't have the calm bearing of a later lady.
"Maybe we should just stand up and ask?" She made an offer. Because of the involvement of her family, the girl does not feel that what she is doing now has the need to conceal it, and she does not think that this crisis can be perfectly solved by herself and the mysterious and powerful teenager next to her, but with an unknown purpose.
Now so sneakily hiding on the sidelines, the main thing is to consider potential enemies. But she had carefully observed just now, and she didn't see the existence of outsiders around.
In that case, it would be stupid to hide like this.
"Wait." Melen finally spoke, but although she was talking to the girl beside her, her eyes were still staring at the two familiar but unfamiliar figures in the distance.
"Don't you notice, your mother is getting weaker."
"Getting weaker?" Yin Sabella was stunned when she heard this, and shifted her attention to look, but she didn't see this phenomenon.
Or, in her opinion, although her mother is very weak now, and her face is even pale, her state can be regarded as stable, otherwise how can she still smile with her father?
But since Meren said so, she wouldn't refute anything. As a wizard, Yin Sabella knows that there are many things that cannot be seen with the naked eye alone.
Just because you haven't found anything now doesn't mean you really don't have anything. It's just that...... If she is really getting weaker, hasn't the mother of the person concerned noticed her own abnormality?
She was a little puzzled by this. Mellen was also confused. After the initial shock, he couldn't figure out what was going on at the moment.
He could be sure that the gray matter that Alyssa was currently predatory and absorbing must be closely related to the life of the middle-aged woman.
But just like the confused thoughts of the girl next to him, he also wondered why the middle-aged woman who was thought to be a black knight by the Holy Spirit Christine seemed to be unaware?
Because Alyssa is too strong? Won't anyone be discovered? Or is it that these black knights he has been paying attention to for a long time are actually not as powerful as he imagined?
Even more puzzling than this doubt was, why would Alyssa do such a thing? And why did the silver-haired Mother of Heaven mysteriously appear here and choose to watch silently?
Everything is like a fog, and it is impossible to see the whole picture. If it weren't for Christine's judgment, there shouldn't be a mistake, and Melen even had the idea of ignoring it, agreeing with the proposal of the girl next to her and going up directly to ask.
However, he was thinking again, and he couldn't ask, what could he find by hiding here and observing? A: Eucalyptus appeared shortly after.
A middle-aged woman who was still farming and talking to her husband with a small smile or something one moment ago, the next moment she suddenly took out a dagger from the long sleeve of her clothes and stabbed it into her husband's lower abdomen without hesitation!
And as the patriarch of a wizard family, a middle-aged man who should have been very powerful, but as if he had been immobilized, his expression was dumbfounded, and in the face of this kind of injury that was no different from ordinary people's attacks, he didn't make the slightest action to dodge or even struggle, and he was disemboweled!
Real disemboweling. The dagger did not stop after stabbing into his abdomen, but was lifted up by the woman's hand without any mud and water, and the flesh and bones of the middle-aged man were cut apart, and blood splattered out, mixed with mucosal internal organs and scattered on the ground.
The beautiful and warm family garden was suddenly transformed into a bloody slaughterhouse!
The change came too suddenly. Before this, it was difficult for Melen to imagine that a seemingly weak woman could make such a sharp slaughtering action, but he didn't have time to be surprised why this sudden situation happened, so he instinctively covered the mouth of the girl next to him, for fear that she would make a sound.
In fact, Mellen's move was timely. Because in the next moment, the girl with wide eyes and a frightened expression opened her mouth wide, and she didn't know whether she wanted to scream or question her mother in the distance.
Thankfully, Melen didn't give her the opportunity and immediately dragged her away.
