The blue sky is dotted with white clouds, the spring breeze caresses human cheeks with the smell of trees, beside the brisk flowing clear river, white geese bow their heads and eat grass, and a girl in a gray and white cloth skirt holds a long stick in her hand, paying close attention to them.

The girl's face was bathed in golden sunlight, revealing a faint fluff, her long silky brown hair was wrapped in a white cloth on top, and her delicate facial features revealed a youthful vigor that could not be concealed.

She looked at Lumian, who was sitting on the ground under the tree by the river, and frowned slightly:

"Isn't it here to discuss which legend is easier to investigate?

"How did it become a stone statue carved on the top of the church?"

This young girl was none other than Ava, the daughter of the shoemaker Guillaume. Lizier is one of the younger generation in the village who has a good relationship with Lumian and Raymond.

"I'm thinking about a question." Lumian didn't raise his head, still staring at the white geese and the water waves.

"What's the problem?" Raymond who helps Ava take care of the geese. Clegg spoke curiously.

Lumien said as if thinking:

"What would you do against a thick-skinned beast that your weapons couldn't hurt?"

"Of course, I have to find a way to escape, there are so many wild beasts in the mountains, I don't have to hunt it." Ava doesn't think there's anything to be embarrassed about.

Lumian gave an "um":

"What if that beast is so rare that the lords of the city like it and are willing to pay a hundred gold louis for its corpse?"

"One hundred gold louis, two thousand Fairgin......" Raymond's breathing became heavy.

He hadn't seen King Louie, and he hadn't used it, so he instinctively changed it to Felkin first.

With such a sum of money, he can go to Daliege to do a small business, and what else can he learn to shepherd?

He thought quickly:

"Looking for someone to borrow a shotgun?"

"You can't wear the skin of that beast." Lumian directly denied it.

Although she knew that the prey was in her imagination and could not be exchanged for so much money, Ava couldn't help but join the discussion:

"Is it powerful, is it ferocious?"

Lumian thought for a moment and said:

"It's about the same as me."

That's one of the reasons why he didn't give up.

"That's fine." Raymond breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, "Go back to the village and gather a group of people, surround it, consume its physical strength, and finally pounce on it and tie it up." ”

He knew Lumian could fight, but he knew it was like that.

"In that case, you'll only get ten louis, or even less." Lumien reminded.

"I've seen them hunting, maybe I can dig a trap and make that beast fall and not get up......," Ava Lake's water-blue eyes rolled slightly, and she said as she recalled.

"Here's a way." Lumian nodded in agreement.

Knowing that Ava and Raymond had limited insight and could not have made any more proposals, he brought the conversation back on track:

"Which legend do you think is the right thing to do next?"

"None of them fit." Ava shook her head, "Those were either hundreds of years ago, or only one person saw them, and that person was long dead. ”

Raymond echoed Ava:

"yes."

"How do you know that there are no clues without asking the people involved?" Lumian sighed and said, "You guys, if you don't have the perseverance to do things, and you want to give up when you encounter difficulties, you can only be a shepherdesss and a shepherd for the rest of your life." ”

Ava and Raymond were both furious at this.

When it comes to making people angry, Lumien is definitely at the top of the list in Kordu Village.

Ava blurted out:

"I don't think it's suitable because there are more suitable ones."

"What is it?" Lumien's eyes lit up.

Ava regretted it a little as soon as she finished speaking, but she also planned to talk about the corresponding things, but she didn't want to tell Lumian and Raymond so easily.

After a few seconds of silence, she glared at Lumian:

"There are real witches in the village."

"Who?" Lumi tightened in peace of mind.

Won't it be Auror, right?

If even Ava knew that Oroel was a wizard, then he and Oroel would have to flee the village of Cordu and live elsewhere to avoid being "visited" by the Inquisition.

Ava subconsciously looked left and right, lowered her voice and said:

"Lady Pualis."

The wife of the magistrate, the mistress of the parish priest, Madame de Pualis? Lumien was a little unconvinced:

"Really?"

If Pualis was really a witch, how could he not have noticed when he found out that this lady was cheating with the parish priest?

"Won't it?" Raymond was surprised.

Ava stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction of the entrance of the village:

"I'm not sure, but Charlie, the administrator's valet, told me once.

"He said that Lady Poalis was a messenger of spirits who could talk to the spirits of the dead and help them get back home, and he also said that Madame Poulis would make secret potions and charms."

Lumian listened carefully, still unsure if it was real or fake.

With magazines such as "Psychics", "Lotus", and "The Veil of Secrets" being published regularly, it is not too strange that the wife of the magistrate knows some terminology and knows how to behave, and fools the servants and villagers.

"Let's go to church to snitch? That's a lot of rewards, right? Raymond was frightened and expectant.

Lumian pondered for a few seconds and said:

"The magistrate's valet knows that Lady Poalis is a witch, so the magistrate himself should know, right?"

"Yes." Ava gave an affirmative answer.

Lumian continues:

"Madame Poalis is still the mistress of the parish priest, and if we go to the church to tell the truth, I am afraid that we will be sent directly to the house of the administrator."

"What?"

"Madame Poalis is the mistress of the parish priest?"

Ava and Raymond were shocked.

"I saw it with my own eyes." Lumian laughed, "Pretend not to know about this, and don't tell anyone, or I'm afraid you'll disappear one day." ”

Ava and Raymond agreed at the same time, their expressions extremely solemn.

They were very afraid of the parish priest, and a witch was involved in this matter.

"If we can really be sure that Madame Poualis is a witch, we will find an opportunity to go to Daliege and tell the bishop at the High Mass." Lumian comforted the two.

"Hmm." Raymond nodded vigorously.

This must be confirmed before going to the whistleblower, otherwise in the end, the investigation will find out that there is nothing wrong with Mrs. Pualis, and they will be finished.

After exchanging these things, Lumian, who was unwilling to delay time, stood up and said to Ava and Raymond:

"I'll go back to study, or Oroel will chase me with a stick.

"You two have a good goose herd."

"Okay." Thinking that in the next period of time, only himself and Ava would be left here, Raymond was excited.

Ava was a little unhappy.

…………

Approaching the village of Cordu, Lumian began to hide his whereabouts, keeping an eye out for anyone nearby.

He was worried that the parish priests would not let him go, and were still waiting for an opportunity.

According to his observations, the parish priest Guillaume. Bennet is a very persevering man, and he will inevitably take revenge if he suffers a loss.

Hiding in the tuckaway, Lumien made his way in the direction of the old tavern.

Suddenly, he heard a clanging sound.

Lumian turned his head and saw that in the fork on the left, three strangers, Ryan, Leah, and Valentine, were walking towards Narocca and the others, who were catching lice for each other.

The crisp and melodious jingle sound came from the four small silver bells on Leah's veil and boots.

They spent the past two days wandering around the village, chatting with people, asking questions about this, and they didn't know what they wanted to do...... Lumian was a little confused and a little wary.

I think of the village square where the sky was empty before, and I think of the shepherd Pierre, who came back from afar to participate in Lent. Berry, he had some bad premonitions, and he thought it was weird.

What will happen in the village? Lumien decided to tell Aurore about the situation later, and let the well-informed, knowledgeable, and wise sister judge.

Soon, he entered the old tavern and saw the woman who had given him the tarot card sitting in the old corner and eating.

Lumian leaned over and glanced at it:

"Fatty fried eggs?

"Won't it be too tired?"

In the Daliege region, this dish is the first choice for ordinary people to entertain distinguished guests, but Lumian feels that for women from the metropolis, it can be oily and greasy.

The lady took a soothing bite of the golden egg and closed her eyes for a while:

"Very good, with local characteristics, very fragrant."

"Lunch so early?" Lumian sat across from him.

The lady's pale blue eyes showed a little tiredness, and she said with a smile:

"It's breakfast."

What time is it...... Lumian didn't dare to say this.

He looked around the old tavern, which had no customers, and lowered his voice:

"I saw a ruin in my dream and encountered a monster."

"Oh." The lady was not surprised at all, and there was even a hint of Lumien's incomprehensible playfulness in her expression.

Lumian calmed down, recounted what had happened to him as it was, and finally said:

"How should you deal with this monster?"

The lady smiled and asked:

"Is it dead or alive?"

"It must be alive, I can't kill it......" Lumian stopped answering subconsciously.

He thought seriously for a while, slowed down his speech and said:

"I can feel its breath, it should be alive."

"Since it's alive, then you can try more, cut off its head this time, pour oil on it next time and burn it directly, and bury it alive next time, maybe it will die?" The lady casually suggested while enjoying her breakfast, "Come to me after so many methods still don't work, I'm not your babysitter, I will help you with every little thing, you have to learn to figure it out yourself." ”

Pretty and friendly...... Lumian was not at all frustrated or depressed, because the other party seemed to mean that if she came to her in a particularly dangerous situation, she would provide some help, and now this kind of monster is really not worth mentioning.

But her worthlessness is a real trouble to me...... Lumian then had another headache.

He decided to do as the lady said, and first try to see if it was useful to cut off the head, burn it, bury it alive, etc.
