A group of people gathered together to celebrate the repulse...annihilation of the Burgundian cavalry.
Although the village was still severely damaged this time... Angel Shadow's sword almost leveled a fifth of the village, but it was a victory!
For the first time, the village of Donremi not only survived the crisis under the attack of the Burgundian cavalry, but even achieved an unprecedented victory!
More importantly, the appearance of [Saint Joan of Arc] brought the power of miracles, and she also brought hope.
What was destroyed can be rebuilt, and the days ahead will be better. There is no reason not to cheer.
The villagers surrounded the girl, and even Charles, as the village leader, was cautiously talking to the side, with his head half lowered the whole time.
The villagers spontaneously took out food, treasured drinks, lit bonfires, and waited for the arrival of a new day.
"eat something?"
Nan Xiaonan took a small plate of food and a glass of fruit wine brewed by the farmer, came to Mr. Azashes, and sat down... They had actually gone back to the guest house to meet the maid once.
However, the maid declined the village celebration on the grounds that she needed to study the symptoms of Mr. Ludick and the two men.
Nan Xiaonan didn't want to stay in the small room, so she came over with Asaches to join in the fun.
Then they discovered that they seemed unable to blend in with the joy of the villagers.
"Actually, it seems pretty good to just watch these villagers celebrate like this." Boss Asaches looked at the bonfire in front of him, "I remembered my previous experience when I traveled with my teacher, and I felt fulfilled.
"
Nan Xiaonan blinked and asked with a hint of curiosity: "Boss Asaches, why did you rush out desperately to rescue Mr. Jacques and the others?"
If Azaces had not appeared pushing the wooden cart, I am afraid that Mr. Jacques and others would have been in trouble before [Saint Joan of Arc] appeared.
Mr. Asaches said casually: "Your companions were able to stand up when we were in the mansion, why can't I."
Nan Xiaonan opened her mouth - what he said made sense, but she was speechless. Besides, based on the moral standard of the residents of the Kingdom of Holy Light, there is nothing wrong with this kind of behavior of sacrificing one's life to save others!
——I believe you as a ghost!
The witch from the other world's academic school could still tell whether she was speaking from the bottom of her heart or from the bottom of her heart. At this moment, Nan Xiaonan took out a booklet in front of Boss Asaxes.
"What is this?" Asaches asked curiously.
Nan Xiaonan handed the brochure to Boss Asachus, "Weren't you curious before about what kind of travel guide we read before we found your [Rose Mansion] that was about to close down? This is it."
"Miss Nan is really good at poking people's wounds." Boss Asaches shook his head, took the travel brochure from the other party's hand, and opened the title page at will.
He saw the column with the author's name.
His expression also changed subtly at this moment... He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Nan Xiaonan, "This... this is?!"
Nan Xiaonan looked at the girl who was surrounded by people in the crowd as if to indicate, "Is all this just a coincidence, or does it have some unknown secret?"
Mr. Asaches continued to open the travel brochure with a solemn expression and read it carefully.
Nan Xiaonan said nothing, silently waiting for his reaction.
After a while, Mr. Asaches finally breathed a sigh of relief, closed the travel brochure, and thought for a while: "This travel brochure did mention [Rose Mansion]... but that was several generations ago.
The other introductions are the same. If I remember correctly, this tourist brochure introduces the [City of Freedom] at least two hundred years ago."
"Two hundred years ago?" Nan Xiaonan frowned.
"At least two hundred years, maybe earlier." Asaches shook his head and said: "I don't have any other information on hand, so I can't study it carefully... Miss Nan, may I ask where you got this travel guide?
?”
The maid just threw it away casually.
"I bought it at the bookstall on the roadside." Nan Xiaonan said softly, and then added: "In the other seven capitals."
"The other seven capitals?" Mr. Asaxes couldn't help but frowned, and thought for a moment: "Perhaps, it was the printed version that flowed out from [Free City] in the past. I remember that my tutor once
I told you that [Free City] had a large-scale book destruction operation hundreds of years ago. Many classic documents were also destroyed during that era. There is no way to find them now. But if it was in
If it spread to other seven capitals during that period, there is a possibility that it could be preserved."
"Destroy the books?" Nan Xiaonan blinked, "Why?"
Asaxes thought for a while and said: "I heard that it seemed that a certain great scholar at that time made a subtle misinterpretation of the words of the [Sage] in the process of studying the Holy Word. This great scholar was too well-known.
, so it influenced many scholars at the time, and incidentally also influenced the works of others. Therefore, in order to safeguard the accuracy of the [Holy Word], [Free City] launched a massive book-burning operation, and those who criticized the [Holy Word]
Most of the scholars who misinterpreted the words were also arrested, especially the leading scholar. Later, after trial, he was defined as a heretic. His family was also declared to be the blood of sinners, and they were all driven away.
Free City]..."
Nan Xiaonan said in surprise: "So [Free City] also had a side of brutal rule?"
"How can this be said to be a brutal rule?" Asaches shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Don't you know how much heresy affects faith? The foundation of the Kingdom of Holy Light is faith. Once it is eroded by heresy, it will be lost.
Without faith, how can the residents of Holy Light Kingdom survive?"
You have hands and feet. If you don’t pray, you can’t live. Nan Xiaonan didn’t say this directly.
Residents of the Kingdom of Holy Light firmly believe that it is true that they cannot live without faith - this can be seen from the fact that the Lord of Durand went crazy and disappeared because he could not accept that he could not pray.
Looking at the righteous Asaches, Nan Xiaonan decided to go one step further, so she said directly: "However, Mr. Asaches, you seem to be one of those people who can't pray... The man at the mansion
The same goes for the maid, aren't you also living well?"
Asaches was instantly frightened in his heart, but he could not see it at all on his face. He said in surprise: "Miss Nan, your joke is not funny. Fortunately, it was just in this strange place. If you say it casually in [Free City]
If you do, it will affect Clary's life...be careful what you say."
"Be careful." Nan Xiaonan nodded apologetically, lowered his head and ate.
It was as if they had never discussed this issue. After a while, an unexpected but reasonable person came to the two of them: Mr. Jacques.
…
…
"I wonder why Mr. Jacques called me out alone?"
Asaches looked at the farmer of the village farm with a somewhat complicated mood... Vaguely, he saw some familiar shadows on Mr. Jacques' face.
The nose of Mr. Jacques really looks somewhat similar to his grandfather.
"First of all, I want to thank you for stepping forward and saving us." Mr. Jacques said slowly: "Without you, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to wait for Jeanne to show up."
"It's a trivial matter." Asaches said nonchalantly.
"I discussed with Charles and the others and decided to send most of the manpower to search for your Mr. Durand." Mr. Jacques continued at this time.
Mr. Asaches nodded, not overly surprised... It is difficult to repay kindness. He saved many people. If the people of Donremi Village did not help with the search, it would be too unreasonable - maybe
, when he took action to save people, he also had the same consideration...partly.
"And there's another thing." Mr. Jacques looked at Asaches deeply at this time and muttered: "Why did you save me? In that environment, you were very likely to die. Those monsters were too scary.
Already."
Asaxes did not use the same rhetoric he used to Nan Xiaonan, but just smiled bitterly and said: "If I say, even I don't know why, I just did it like this at that time... Do you believe it?"
"I believe it." Mr. Jacques said directly: "Your eyes tell me that you did not speak! Asaches, you are also a brave person. I hope we can become friends and let me feel honored for your bravery.
Opportunity."
"We will become friends." Asaches smiled and said, "Perhaps we will stay here for a long time. Having a friend is something to be happy about."
Mr. Jacques patted Asaches on the shoulder, "One more thing, I would like to temporarily invite you and your companions to live in my home... After all, it is not convenient for you to stay in the guest house during this period. Besides,
You still have two patients. I have asked the doctor in the village to prepare them, and he will come to my house early tomorrow morning."
"This is excellent." Asaches nodded.
Ludik and Durand's assistants really need a good environment to recuperate... Mr. Jacques is the richest in the village. Not only is his family big, but he also has servants, so many things will become more convenient.
…
"What did Monsieur Jacques say to you?"
When he came back, Nan Xiaonan looked at Asaches and asked directly.
"It's nothing. Mr. Jacques is very hospitable and plans to invite us to his home during this period." Asaches said casually: "In addition, he also found a doctor and promised to organize a search team early tomorrow morning to help find Durand."
"Probably because you saved them." Nan Xiaonan nodded: "I can imagine... By the way, let me ask you a question."
"Um?"
"Have you seen Livar?"
"Livar isn't...Livar?" Asaches couldn't help but be startled at this moment. Only then did he remember that he had never seen Livar along the way!
After the battle, they returned to the guest house, but they did not see Livar. They originally thought that Livar had also come out to participate in the village's celebrations.
"Okay." Nan Xiaonan thought for a moment and said, "It seems that we don't even know when Mr. Livar disappeared."
Asaches subconsciously said: "Livar is Ludik's personal secretary, and he has always stayed close to him... Ludik is like this now. It is impossible for him to leave too far. Maybe he just has something to do and goes out temporarily.
"
"So." Nan Xiaonan said: "Our situation is the same. When we come to this strange place... Do you think Livar will have any [other things] that require him to leave temporarily? He should
Isn't it like Durand, who has a mental breakdown because he has no way to pray?"
"I'll go around the village and look for it!" Asaches said quickly: "Miss Nan, are you here to help?"
"I just finished eating." Nan Xiaonan stood up and stretched, "Just treat it as a digestion activity after the meal."
…
…
"Livar! Livar?!"
"Mr. Livar, it's dawn, get up~~~"
The sound of calling sounded in the village. The two people who were searching separately had met several times in the village, but in the end they could not find Livar.
They met once, and after each shaking their heads, they decided to look for it one more time, and then went in different directions... The sound also gradually faded away.
The meeting place this time was next to a dry well in the village. It was surrounded by traces left by the Burgundian cavalry attack. Some houses were even directly washed away. The villagers were still celebrating. For the time being,
No one came to clean it up.
But in the dry well, a faint orange-red light flashed suddenly.
At this time, under the dry well, there was a figure, with his hands using meaningless claws to scrape the soil and stones in the dry well... There were tiny cracks on his body.
And the faint orange-red light suddenly emerged from the cracks in the skin of his body... When the calling voice finally disappeared due to the distance, he suddenly became quiet again.
His body was curled up and trembling... When dawn came, he suddenly stopped moving, as if he had turned into a stone, and the cracks on his body had closed at this time.
The depths of the ancient well became completely dark.
…
…
They all looked at themselves and wanted to hear their own voices.
The girl suddenly felt distressed - she didn't know what she was going to say - she had only thought of her lines until she took action.
This was already the best line she could think of for her appearance... the important thing is, it's not shameful.
Most of the villagers are enthusiastic, and the enthusiastic girl doesn't even have the chance to have a few words with her family.
The sky is slightly bright.
The girl took the opportunity to say: "A new day has arrived. After a night of fear and joy, we need to rest to recover from physical fatigue. The village needs to be rebuilt, so the celebration ends here."
"Yes! Lord [Saint Joan of Arc] is right! Let's go back and have a good rest, and then rebuild our home!"
The crowd gradually dispersed.
The girl breathed out slowly.
She suddenly discovered that such a scene was not as fragrant as she had imagined. Even after the initial excitement, she felt uncomfortable.
I don’t know where my father is... After the celebration started, it seemed that he was nowhere to be seen.
The girl looked around, and then found another figure under the eaves not far away.
He stood under the eaves, and the shadow blocked almost half of his body... He just stood there, looking at himself silently.
It was the fiancée whom my father found.
Her heart trembled slightly, and her body subconsciously walked towards the figure under the eaves.
She didn't know why, but she just felt that as long as this person stood there, people would unexpectedly want to get closer... closer.
