Volume 1 The Winter of Halma Chapter 32 A Mother's Choice

Mrs. Goethe stood anxiously in the crowd, her hands clasping the sides of her precious coat, and her eyes searched the room for the thin body.

Eventually, her gaze rested on the filthy bed.

"Brandt!!"

Mrs. Goethe rushed into the room in a frenzy, unable to suppress her worries any longer, and her voice was agitated and flustered.

In everyone's minds, the wife, who has always been known for her maturity and stability, threw herself on the bed without any image, ignoring the dirty mucus on Brandt's body, and hugged him in her arms.

"My poor child!" said Mrs. Goethe, crying out her son's name in grief, but received no response from her.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for her to feel Brant in her arms, the slight heartbeat, which made her cry bitterly with excitement.

Elizabeth outside the door looked at Andu, who was sitting by the wall, her expression gradually became firm, and she gritted her teeth and followed into the room.

The crowd outside the door watched Mrs. Goethe's actions, and Elisabeth's lead, and at last they took a step and cautiously followed into the room.

"Are you alright?"

Elizabeth looked worriedly at Andu, who was covered in dark yellow liquid, and hesitated.

"It's fine. Andu squeezed out a smile, looked at Mrs. Goethe not far away, her face gradually became serious, and said weakly: "Let Mrs. Goethe stay away from Brant, those liquids are very corrosive." ”

With that, Andu raised his left hand.

At this time, his left hand was in a corroded state, the skin on the back of his hand was almost completely gone, and the back of his tender red hand had a strong smell of burning, which was dazzling and disgusting.

Elizabeth's eyes instantly turned red when she saw it, and she was just about to approach Andu when she was rejected, and said with a crying voice.

"Your hand, hand ......"

"It's fine. Andu endured the huge pain of being corroded in his hands, and moved his left hand to comfort: "You can go to Mr. Roy for treatment tomorrow, it's not a big deal." ”

"Go and warn Mrs. Goethe. Andu looked at Elizabeth's little face, which was about to cry, and interrupted: "If you don't go, Mrs. Goethe will be like me." ”

"Also, let Mrs. Goethe hurry and bathe Brandt, and in a few moments the liquid will begin to corrode him. ”

Brant, who is free from the demon's possession, will lose his resistance after a while, and must dispose of the demonic slime on his body in time.

Elizabeth glanced at Andu complainingly, and reluctantly turned to remind Mrs. Goethe.

Yannicksia was standing not far away, one of the people at the front of the crowd and the first to see the demon's corpse, and when she looked at the ugly red corpse up close, she felt her stomach tumble.

Holding back the discomfort in her stomach, she turned her head to find Andu by the wall, and then she saw the left hand that was moving towards Elizabeth.

Was it him, was he the one who killed this demon?

Yanicia reacted suddenly, looking at the other party's left hand, which was almost only a palm and had no skin, her heart suddenly ached.

She subconsciously walked over and came to Andu's side, looking at the disgusting left hand, but she only felt sad in her heart.

"You, are you alright?" she pointed to Andu's left hand and asked in a low voice, "You need to find a doctor, or someone from the church, or your hand will become infected." ”

Andu raised his head, looked at the girl in front of him, showed a miserable smile, and thanked him.

"Thank you. ”

Yannickia looked at Andu's smile, unable to control the emotions in her heart any longer, and her eyes began to slowly redden.

She turned around, walked quickly in front of her mother, and spoke.

"Mother, Andu's hand is injured, we need to hurry to the doctor. ”

"Ahh

"Quick, go to the doctor!"

She gave an order to one of the two maids she had brought with her, and she never imagined that so many terrible things would happen to Mrs. Goethe, just to visit her!

This Galway District, in the future, will have to come less, no, the entire South District will have to come less!!

At this time, Mrs. Goethe also followed Elizabeth's advice and put down Brandt in her arms, only to find that her precious coat had become tattered, and there were small holes left by the corroded liquid everywhere.

She looked at Brant, who was lying on the bed with no reaction, so sadly, as if she had forgotten that there were still guests at home, and the matter was not over.

"Ma'am!"

The two maids around her were frightened, and quickly helped her, and looked anxiously at Mrs. Renada.

She was present at this time, the one who could best express her opinion except Mrs. Goethe.

She frowned, glanced around the room, thought for a moment, and spoke.

"You send a man to church, and you say that there is a demon here. ”

Lady Renada said decisively, turning to the other maid she had brought.

"You go to Lawyer Ron, and say that something is wrong at home, and then go straight home, and call the Baron over, remember, let him bring the house guard!"

According to the aristocratic system of the Aaronic Empire, barons and above can have their own guards.

In the case of a barony, you can have a maximum of twenty guards.

Lady Renada was terrified to the extreme, and she just wanted to get out of this terrible place as soon as possible, under the protection of the guards at home!

Yanicchia didn't say anything, just looked at Andu by the wall from time to time.

Why, when it is clear that he is a hero, he killed the demon, but no one comes forward to care about him?

Yanikcia couldn't understand this situation, but as a noble lady, she couldn't ignore her identity and ask about people's situations twice, which was a very rude thing.

In the room, in addition to Elizabeth and Yaniksia, there was finally a third person who remembered Andu.

Mrs. Goethe sat for a long time, and at last she seemed to remember something, and after a brief struggle with the emotion on her face, she rose angrily.

She looked at Andu, who was sitting not far away, pushed away the maid who was supporting her, walked in front of Andu, and said coldly.

"Here's what's going on. Mrs. Goethe looked at him coldly, and at this time, with Mrs. Goethe's actions, the people in the room finally focused their eyes on Andu for the first time.

"Why did you come to see Brant and this happened?"

After Mrs. Goethe finished speaking, she looked at the huge demon corpse with palpitations, and said sharply, holding back the fear in her heart.

"Did you summon the demon?"

For the first time, Mrs. Goethe's words plunged the room into complete silence, one that was only the slight breathing of the crowd.

Elizabeth looked at this lady who had always been smiling in disbelief, a little strange.

Mrs. Goethe's eyes were fixed on Andu, her palms covered with cold sweat, but she still refused to relax her questioning attitude.

She couldn't admit that the demon had been summoned by Brandt, and that would have killed his son!

All those who are related to demons in Akmund will eventually be purified by the church, even though she already knows that her son is different from before, but she still does not dare to go to the people of the church!

She and her husband had noticed something was wrong with Brant years ago, and unlike in previous years, Brant was only thin and weak.

But three months ago, they began to notice that Brandt's body had become strange, and they looked through a lot of information, and finally learned that their son had been infected by demons.

But even so, she persuaded her husband to hide the matter from the church, because it would sentence her son to death.

After that, they tried their best, and at the same time, in order to keep this secret, they kept a very low profile, but Brandt's condition was getting worse and worse, and it did not improve at all.

She never imagined that Andu had just joined the church and discovered the secret of her son, and finally really lured the demon out.

She didn't know what the demon's death would do to Brant, she only knew that she couldn't let anyone find out that the demon had infected her son.

Andu looked at Mrs. Goethe quietly, and said with a smile after a long time.

"The demon is dead. ”

"Fortunately, it didn't hurt Brandt, he needs to recuperate during this time, and as for the rest, you can ask the doctor. ”

When he sobers up, remember to take him to church once a week to pray. ”

"Finally, if I could, I would suggest you move out tonight, or tomorrow at the latest, it's already contaminated. ”

As if he hadn't heard Mrs. Goethe's words, Andu spoke to himself.

He wasn't going to tell the truth, because he knew too well that it would kill Brandt.

However, the possessed demon is already dead, and according to his previous knowledge, after the possessed demon dies, as long as he regularly goes to church to pray and cleanse himself of the demonic scent, he will no longer attract the attention of other demons.

But this is not the case with the tradition of Akmund, who will burn those who have been infected by demons at the stake, so that they will not become possessed by demons again and become carriers of demons.

Andu couldn't judge right from wrong, but he didn't want an innocent person to die in the end.

In that case, why tell the truth?

Andu looked at Mrs. Goethe's surprised expression and did not say anything further.

Over the years, Mrs. Goethe and his wife have really helped him and Elisabeth a lot, and he doesn't want Brandt, who finally picked up his life, but in the end he can't escape the pursuit of death.

There was silence in the room, and Elizabeth silently walked to Andu's side, and Mrs. Goethe watched the scene and did not stop it.

Madame Renada had a vague guess in her heart, but she kept silent and waited for the baron's arrival.

Yanichya's heart was full of anger, but looking at her mother's warning gaze, she still chose to be silent, standing behind her mother and bowing her head.

The maids, on the other hand, stood behind Mrs. Goethe with their heads bowed, as if nothing in the house had anything to do with them.

"Go find some charcoal and quicklime. ”

Andu said to Elizabeth beside him.

Elizabeth looked at Andu in bewilderment, but her body still chose to listen to Andu's words and got up to look for it.

As she passed by Mrs. Goethe, she looked deeply at her, then turned her head and left the room.

Mrs. Goethe stood in the center of the room with a pale face, not knowing if the church would find out her lie when they came, but there was no way out for her.

In the end, she thought about it, but followed Andu's suggestion and asked the maid to take the unconscious Brant to the bathroom to take a shower first.

After Elizabeth found charcoal and quicklime, she sprinkled some around the room according to Andu's instructions, while opening all the windows in the room.

Andu looked at everyone in the room who was thinking about their own affairs, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Alright. ”

Elizabeth returned to Andu's side, and the two sat on the floor, in great contrast to the rest of the room.

At this point, the people of the church finally arrived.
