Chapter 2: A New World
Byam, Church of the Waves. Snake the "Singer of the Gods", who took over from his predecessor, the missing Cardinal Alger, is listening to a debriefing from his subordinates
"According to the news from the Church of the Fools, they found a high-level witch in Byam, and they are not sure what the sequence is, the state of that witch is too strange."
"Where is the witch?"
"The witch is now in the Glenn Hospital at 168 New Glenn Street, with two deacons, Adlai and Ratrice, under surveillance, and the Church of the Fool also has a Sequence 5 Dream Walker in the hospital. The matter has also been reported to the head of the autonomous government, Carat."
"Okay, be careful and notify the punisher squad to be ready."
"The storm is on top! Be. Your Excellency the Bishop. ”
"The Storm Is With You and Me"
Snake watched his subordinate leave, and turned to look out the window at Byam, who was lost in thought with a secret telegram in his hand, the breeze on his somewhat messy hair, and the crimson moon shining over the night.
At Glenn Hospital, the attending physician, Dreamwalker Laiena, is talking to the Church of the Fool's acting Pope Derick.
"Under the crown of Daric, Hermione's current state is stable, and there is no problem in her heart, although she is a witch, but after a few days of getting along, I think Hermione is not a member of the witch sect, and Hermione's personality should be above the demigod. For some reason, she has lost her strength now, but fortunately she has lost her strength! Otherwise, with her appearance and the charm of the witch, I'm afraid that my hospital will be crowded, and even so, the nurse who took care of her will fall into it" Laiena was a little helpless.
Darek comforted Laiena with a few words, "According to the information from the Southern Continent, among the believers in the encirclement and suppression of the Primordial Moon and the Mother Tree of Desire, the Night Church and the Knowledge Church discovered that the Witch Sect was chasing and killing an angel from the Witch Path, and it just so happened that Miss Hermione also appeared here at this time, if there is no mistake, Miss Hermione is the angel who was hunted down by the Witch Sect." ”
"Hermione, she's an angel?" Laiena was a little shocked, she thought that Hermione was just a demigod-level powerhouse.
"There were angels from the Night Church and the Church of Knowledge at that time, and the angel of life of the Lord, Ms. Reneco, was also there, and there could be no mistake"
"Does the Church of the Storm know about this? I'm afraid they'll take Hermione straight back to the Storm Chapel."
"You should know by now, I've said hello to the Storm Church, and this matter will be handled by our Church of the Fools, and the Storm Church will have two deacons to monitor and prevent accidents."
"Thank you, Your Majesty Derrick, for being the Lord's Agent."
"You'll want to keep an eye on Miss Hermione, too."
"Praise the fool, I will."
After a short conversation, Derik left Laina's office and returned to the Church of the Fool, and Derik who was sitting in his chair looked at the official documents in front of him, the expansion of the port of New Silver City and Crescent City, the construction of the railway, the local tribal conflicts caused by the spread of faith... The Church of the Fool still has a lot of things to deal with by itself, and it's really inconvenient to not have Mr. Hanged Man (Fallen Commissar: Little Sun is waiting for me to come back and continue to gather wool)!
Moon City Priest Nim presided over the new Silver Moon City, and Silver City Chief Waite organized several teams to go to the Southern Continent to spread the faith of Mr. Fool, as well as work with the Orthodox God Church to clear the cultists of the Primordial Moon and the Mother Tree of Desire. With Mr. Star and Mr. Moon to take care of, the chief should not have any major problems with them, and several angels of the Lord are also in the Southern Continent, so they can contact for help when necessary.
Under the light, Darik continued his work.
At Glenn Hospital, Dr. Laiena knocked on Hermione's room door, "Can I get in?" ”
"Please come in, Dr. Laiena" The sweet voice sounded, and Laiena kept hinting that she needed to be calm, but fortunately Miss Hermione couldn't use her strength, otherwise I don't know if I could resist it. Wait, what was I thinking!
Laiena walked in, and a gas lamp next to her bed illuminated the small area.
"Hermione, are you still reading, rest early, you can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."
"Thank you Dr. Leena for taking care of me, I will rest early and strive to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."
Hermione smiled sweetly at Laiena, and her charm came to Laina, who kept hinting at herself in her heart, and sat next to her with a smile.
After a few days of study and cultivation, Hermione has learned a lot of knowledge in this world, after all, the memory of the original owner was gone more than a thousand years ago, was it more than a thousand years ago? I can't tell the difference, and my memory is a little broken. Fortunately, I was lucky this time, and I met Badr, Leena, and Kra, so I didn't end up on the streets.
Now that there is a steam engine and electricity, then it should be around the first industrial revolution. No, Hermione thought to herself, if it weren't for the occult of extraordinary power, I think I would have come to Europe in the first industrial revolution. In addition to the different languages, the accents are not quite right, they look the same but they are all different, what kind of world am I coming in?
Coming back to her senses, Hermione had just sensed that Laiena was talking to a ball of light, which could be felt from many houses away, was this what her extraordinary powers bringed? Asked Laiena
"Dr. Laiena, what was that round of light that I was talking to you just about?"
"The one just now is Mr. Fool's agent, the current Pope of the Church of Fools, Daric, Hermione, you should feel the difference, so I won't hide it from you, I am also a disciple of Mr. Fool, and I am responsible for taking care of you, and so is Badr."
"The fool must be a god," Hermione asked, staring into Laina's eyes.
Being looked at by Hermione, Laiena's face also flushed slightly, especially when she saw the big eyes under the long eyelashes, the light blue pupils in the eyes became deeper and deeper, as if she was about to be sucked in.
Laiena kept hinting at herself, and finally broke free, thinking to herself, 'Witches are really easy to make people sink, even if I don't have this will, I will unconsciously attract others.' ’
Laiena smiled, "Yes, Mr. Fool is a true deity. ”
Hermione was very excited at this point, and I had hope that I would go home and that Mr. Fool would be a friendly deity as his followers said.
Hermione hugged Laiena and said, "Praise to Mr. Fool." ”
Feeling the aroma of Hermione's conversation, Laiena, who was hugged, unconsciously hugged Hermione, her fair face turned red, and her eyes began to become misty.
Leena struggled and enjoyed, 'No, can't do this, but can't let go'.
Sensing that something was wrong with Laiena, Hermione quickly pulled Leiena away and shook her awake, it seems that her witch charm is really great, what would happen to her if she was in a complete state? I usually have to restrain myself, and I have to learn how to control my charm, Mr. Fool's church should have a way, and tomorrow I will ask Laina to help me ask.
Laiena also realized her gaffe, and after a few words, she left in a hurry with a red face.
In the early morning, Byam was still as lively as ever, and in Glenn Hospital, nurse Kra was cleaning up Hermione's room, although there was nothing to clean up here, because our Miss Hermione (Venna) had nothing but herself, which was probably a reason.
Miss Carat has a typical Rune look, with brown hair tied into a ponytail, a high nose, blue pupils, and a little freckles on her face. Unlike the usual work clothes, today she wore a casual dress, a light blue jacket and a gray-blue skirt. Because her task today is to take Miss Hermione to get acquainted with Byam and to the Church of the Fool, "Thank you so much Lady Laiena for giving me a chance, and go to the Church of the Fool The goddess should not blame me, praise the goddess." ”
At this time, Hermione, who was standing in front of the mirror, did not notice the nurse's crankiness, she looked at herself in a daze, a little distracted, although she has seen her current appearance many times in the past few days, but she still doesn't believe that what is in the mirror is herself, the girl-like goose egg face, fair skin, especially the pair of eyes like light blue gems are getting deeper and deeper, and the black hair with a little dark red and slightly curly at the ends of the hair is naturally draped behind.
"The witch is really powerful, it would be great if I could become like this if I was still in my world, and it would be good if I could go back, I don't know if my parents can recognize me, whether the sisters will be surprised, and those stinky brothers who always play games with me, I must be punished."
Hermione wore an ordinary white dress and a veiled lady's round hat, trying to restrain her charm, which should be charming.
"Miss Cara, let's go"
"Yes, Miss Hermione," Clat grabbed Hermione's right hand and walked outside, like her lover.
Hermione also noticed that something was wrong with Carat, and looked at the beautiful girl about 18 years old, and shouted in her heart, "Miss Carat, you need to be steady, you see that my eyes are getting more and more wrong, I am panicking." ”
The two walked out of the hospital door and met the two deacons of the Church of the Storm, who were waiting
"Good morning, Mr. Adlaide, Mr. Ratrice," the two said in unison
"Good morning, Miss Hermione, Miss Cara," Adlai replied with a smile
"Good morning, two of you" Ratrice was still as calm as usual, and after speaking, he stopped speaking, and Adlai was in charge of the communication
"Miss Hermione, you should also know that you are special, so we still need to stay with you for a while to make sure there are no accidents" After confirming that Hermione is a high-order and malicious, plus the endorsement of the Church of the Fool. Adlai explained the situation directly to Hermione, otherwise with Hermione's spirituality, he would be able to find himself in an instant, and it would be very bad to fight inexplicably.
"I understand, thank you" It's rare for someone in the Storm Pathway to be so calm.
Although I was watched by the Storm Church and the Church of the Fools, I guess the Night Church also knew, but I am not a bad person, and it is good to have their protection, so that the Witch Sect will not hunt me down in Baiam. Well! I've settled down for the time being, I'm just a four-good young man who doesn't know the world, and life is really difficult!
Walking along the coastal streets of Byam, Hermione looked at the clothes of the passers-by, "Am I coming to Hawaii?" The roads are paved with stone slabs, and the streets are quite tidy, unlike the muddy roads of the castle that the original owner remembers, but after all, more than a thousand years have passed, and society will progress.
"Miss Hermione, let's go taste this gurgling juice, Byam's own wine," Clara said, pulling Hermione as she walked down the street.
The enthusiastic stall owner was instantly attracted by Hermione, and shouted for a free gift to the two young ladies
Hermione touched her face and smiled slightly, but fortunately she had put on her veil and round hat, revealing only the lower half of her face, and it seemed that she had to work hard to practice putting it away freely.
"Carat, let's go to the Church of the Fool first" Hermione thought it was better to hurry up, here she always felt that something was not quite right in her heart, a feeling that she couldn't put it into words.
"Okay, so let's go back and play," Kra replied a little expectantly
"Well, let's play together after this is done" Hermione felt that she had to correct this girl, otherwise she would fall deeper and deeper into herself, how could she be like this as an excellent young man in the new era? Be sure to teach this child well.
The four of them walked together in the direction of the Church of the Fool, and among the many pedestrians who were attracted, one of the young men looked at Hermione like a pedestrian, and then naturally disappeared into the street, and the pedestrians next to him did not seem to notice.
"Your Majesty, Miss Hermione is ready."
"Okay, I see," Darik walked out, putting down his work.
The first time he saw Hermione, Daric felt very amazing, very beautiful, especially with a charm that constantly attracted him, but fortunately he had a certain understanding of witches. Thanks to everyone in the Tarot Society, according to them, the current witches are all male transformations, and it is not easy to see the existence of women! Or there are no more. Using his demigodic concentration, Darik calmed down.
Seeing Daric walking on the opposite side, Hermione, who took off her hat at this time, smiled and said hello
"Hello, you're His Majesty Daric."
"You're welcome, Miss Hermione, just call me Derrick."
"Mr. Daric, then I won't beat around the bush, I want to know something."
"We'd like to get to know Miss Hermione, too."
"Well, I understand that."
"Miss Hermione, do you have anything to do with the Witch Sect? Why did the Witch Sect hunt you down?"
Hermione was a little helpless "As you can see, although I am Sequence 2, I am now with ordinary people, unless I passively protect myself, I can't use my own strength now, the memory of my battle with the Witch Sect a few days ago is lost, and the current memory is only stuck before sleeping, and the previous memories are very fragmented." ”
"I don't know why the Witch Sect wants to hunt me down, maybe I won't be allowed to exist! Or maybe you want to recycle the features. But it must have something to do with their leader, the Primordial Witch. You probably know the Primordial Witch, too. He left a mark on me and suppressed my power. ”
After fusing Hermione Sauron's memories, he found that he was forced to sleep by the primordial witch, and the suppression of the lower by the high-ranking people could only avoid the primordial witch's monitoring through sleep. Why the original witch was so obsessed with chasing and killing herself, this memory is unfortunately missing, but Hermione can also analyze that she is a woman. "I guess you're trying to make me into a potion material," Hermione thought to herself.
"Then Miss Hermione is not from the Witch Sect, may I ask when Miss Hermione was asleep, according to our investigation, there are no assassin path angels outside the Witch Sect in the Fifth Age"
"You're not mistaken, according to the current history, I'm a Quaternary" Hermione thought to herself: Of course, you wouldn't think that I was a different person, but it didn't make any sense.
Daric thought about it, and the witch that everyone usually talks about in Tarot took the liberty of asking, "May I ask Miss Hermione, when she first started to take the witch path, she was..."
Hermione looked at the second half of Daric's speechless appearance and hurriedly replied, "Ahem, I'm a female witch, don't think about it, Mr. Dariek, I'm not one of the twisted people of the Witch Sect." ”
Daric also knew his faux pas, "I'm sorry, Miss Hermione, I just wanted to make sure, nothing else"
Derrick's heart thought "The other party is an angel, how can I be so reckless, I usually have more contact with Mr. Azik and Ms. Renette, pay attention next time"
"Miss Hermione, I heard you're interested in believing in our Lord," Daric hurriedly diverted the subject
"Yes, Mr. Daric, I would like to know more about Mr. Fool and hope to believe in Him" Hermione was very excited, "It's finally time to get to the point, it's up to Mr. Fool to see if he can go home or not."
Daric pulled out a copy of the Fool's Tome
"There is an oracle of our lord, a divine precept, and how to pray to our lord, you can first understand our Mr. Fool from above, and then make a decision"
"During this time, Miss Hermione, you will live next to the Church of the Fools first, and we will need to confirm you for a while, or wait for some of the Lord's angels to come back to confirm that there is no danger, and then you will be free. You can also choose to join our Church of Fools and serve the Lord together. ”
Miss Hermione's humanity is so well preserved! Dai Rick sighed. For an angel with a good humanity, all the churches will welcome it.
"Laiena is also there, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask her."
"Thank you, Mr. Daric, may I do anything about it? After all, it's not good to eat and live for nothing like this" Although I am an angel, I am no longer allowed to eat or drink, but I have received so much care from others, and I have to repay it.
"Miss Hermione, if you can, then help us clean up the Church of the Fools"
"Okay" Hermione replied briskly, this is also what she wants, according to the memory of the original owner, the gods of the Orthodox Church are all gods of sequence 0, so the public fool should also be a true god. I must know a lot of hidden knowledge, and the road home is one step closer.
The conversation ended, and Dalek watched Hermione and the others leave. "Miss Hermione is even more terrible than Miss Justice, and there is always a feeling that I want to pull Miss Hermione into the church, is this a hint that Mr. Fool gave me?" So Little Sun prayed earnestly and told Mr. Fool about it. "I don't know if Mr. Fool will receive it, and when he will wake up. Miss Justice is coming soon, and I'm going to talk to her about it too. ”
Then, a voice appeared in his head, and Darek was very excited, and God responded to himself.
After getting to know Byam briefly, there were a few gangster pirates who tried to talk to Hermione halfway, and when they saw the two familiar Storm Church punishers behind Hermione, the thugs slipped away instantly, it's better to drink, the storm buddies are not easy to mess with.
Hermione returned to the hospital and waited for Laina, when she saw Laina, her face was a little red, tall, light blonde hair, a pair of light blue eyes, in Hermione's eyes this is a typical mature lady, just a little too tall, with one meter eight, or she is short, outsiders look like a mother and daughter.
Laiena left work early and took Hermione to get her identification, which was successfully completed with the guarantee of the Church of the Fool, and then purchased some daily necessities and returned to the small building next to the Church of the Fool, "It's still convenient when you can use your abilities flexibly" Hermin sighed.
One living room, one kitchen, three rooms, two independent bathrooms, Hermione chose a room where she lived to clean and put her luggage, a simple room, without too much decoration, a bed, a cabinet, and a desk by the window. Hermione, lying on the bed, "finally has a place to stay, Dr. Laiena is so nice, let me come to her house"
In the evening, after a simple dinner, Laiena took out a delicate black gauze round hat and gave it to Hermione, the covering effect is better today, "Miss Hermione, it is better to wear this when you go out, or go to the Church of the Fool, after all, your charm is too great, there are many people on the street today with bad intentions, fortunately, the two senior deacons of the Storm Church are also there." ”
"I know, Doctor Laiena" Hermione was also speechless in her heart, there are advantages and disadvantages in the way, the charm can't be controlled by herself, too beautiful is also a problem, will the people of the Witch Church recognize her very easily.
Laiena was also worried in her heart, afraid that any pirate who came to Baiam for fun would provoke Hermione, if Hermione couldn't control herself to give Baiam an earthquake, a tsunami, a plague or something, then Baiam would be finished.
After a few brief words, Hermione and Leena each said goodnight and went to rest.
Hermione lay on the bed to sort out her memories, and when she came to another world, she had to sort out the knowledge she had and prevent herself from dying, there were too many things in this world that could not be touched or understood, "The Abyss", "God's Forsaken Land", "The Black Emperor who unified the Northern Continent", "Death", ......
Some memories were also forgotten, possibly related to her current situation, and Hermione drifted off to sleep in the memories.
