Chapter 252 Witch(1/2)
The heavy rain washed away the blood stains on Yin Fu and others.
There are a lot of bloody streams flowing on the ground.
"What should we do now?" Yin Fu looked at Xia Yanzhen and asked.
Father Anderson took the lead in this operation, and his performance just now clearly confirmed his leadership status.
Xia Yan really decided that the black crow and the blood-armored knights would not have a second thought.
"Go on, go inside and take a look." Xia Yanzhen said.
The sudden appearance of a large number of dead bodies is obviously abnormal. The castle and manor of Noda is right in front of you, so you might as well investigate it.
Send two black crows over to gather the scattered horses again and find a place to take shelter from the rain.
The remaining people walked into the castle manor.
There is a trench outside the castle, which is the "moat". It has experienced three stages: there was water, then there was no water, and now there is a little water due to heavy rain.
The black city wall is not too high, about three meters, and the main wall of the real castle inside is very high.
Medieval fortress.
The trench is three to four meters wide, and the suspension bridge has long been damaged, making it impossible to lower it to form a passage.
A group of people will not descend into a trench and then climb up like a dead body.
They easily jumped over and entered the castle estate.
Inside are various old and abandoned low-rise buildings. In theory, they will not be so completely abandoned in ten years.
There is only one reason why it is in such tatters, and that is because there are too many rats, which grind their teeth.
As everyone came in, they did hear the squeaking and rustling sounds of many mice.
Even the sound of heavy rain couldn't cover it up.
Several black crows spread out and searched everywhere.
Xia Yanzhen and the others went straight to the big castle in the center.
"Why is the door closed?" A group of people came to the castle. Compared with other buildings, the main body of the castle here is very complete.
Not too much broken.
The door is covered with iron sheet and is stained with rust.
"Is there a problem with locking it up?" someone asked.
"According to the scout's information, the door here was open. He saw many dead bodies running out of it, so he came over to report it," Yin Fu said.
The church attaches great importance to the security around the Holy City. There are Dark Crow Scouts and Red Knight squads patrolling every day.
The area is not small, and the dead bodies here were discovered by the Dark Crow Scouts.
Yin Fu and Xia Yanzhen read the mission information together.
Xia Yanzhen didn't speak, so she explained some situations.
"It's normal for the dead body to knock the door open, but can they still close it?" said a blood-armored knight.
Whether it's the Dark Crow of the Burial Agency or the Red Knight of the Knights.
The biggest enemy I have faced in these years is not other people, but the dead body.
They know a lot about dead bodies, and they know that this thing is a beast without intelligence and cannot open the door.
Yin Fu stepped forward and was about to push open the door, but paused for a moment.
"What?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"There is resistance." Yin Fu exerted force, and everyone heard the sound of something breaking, and then the door opened.
"What's this?"
"this……"
Seeing the dim scene behind the door, a group of people were stunned for a moment.
Behind the door is not a flat ground, but a huge pothole that takes up almost all the ground space.
At the very center of the pothole, there is a deep well-like underground cave.
The diameter is about five meters.
The whole shape is like a huge funnel.
In this funnel, there were still a few dead bodies that were not very healthy. As Xia Yanzhen and others entered, they moved over with difficulty to attack.
It can be said that he is very dedicated.
The dedicated dead body was trampled to pieces by the ferocious blood-armored knights.
A group of people descended into the pit and came to the cave in the middle.
It was pitch dark in the deep well-like hole, and nothing could be seen except for the slightest sound of mice.
A black crow lit the small lantern on his waist and threw it in.
The hole is much deeper than imagined.
In the end, the lantern did not hit the bottom floor, but hit a group of dead bodies crowded in the cave.
The dead reacted violently to the fallen lantern.
He quickly destroyed it and spilled the oil on himself, igniting himself instead.
In the flames, everyone except Xia Yanzhen looked unhappy.
It was obvious that the dead body had emerged from the ground.
This means that there are already roads extending in all directions underground, which is difficult for humans to explore.
These roads, possibly opened by rats, now serve as passages for "transporting" dead bodies.
Dead bodies can appear everywhere through underground roads, making them even more dangerous.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong!" Valentine thought a lot. "I can understand rats digging holes, but rats dig such big holes, and dead bodies are scurrying through these holes. In the end, the door can be closed! Is this reasonable?"
If there is no problem behind this, Valentine will cut off his head.
All these years of worries came true, and Valentine wished he could retire on the spot and huddle in the Holy City motionless.
Fire does not cause dead bodies to escape like those "regular" rats.
They are not afraid of pain, and the damage caused by fire to dead bodies is negligible.
After a while, the flames extinguished, unable to stop the charred dead bodies from climbing upwards.
As the cave turned dark again, no one spoke.
Only Valentine's words seemed to still echo.
"It's the Damon siblings who are controlling them!" After a while, Yin Fu said.
"Can William still control the dead body?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
His younger brother William can control ordinary mice by turning them into red-eyed mice, but to be honest, his control is very low.
Xia Yanzhen still remembered the difficult appearance of William's veins on his forehead.
It's like going to the toilet for someone with constipation and hemorrhoids.
He didn't think William had the ability to control so many rats to dig tunnels and then control the dead bodies to gather there.
"Is she a witch?" someone asked.
Xia Yanzhen looked over with a questioning expression.
Yin Fu explained: "Mrs. Damon, the mother of the Damon siblings, she has been imprisoned in the Holy City."
"Does she have this ability?"
"I don't know, if William can control mice..." Yin Fu shook her head.
Even Yin Fu didn't know much about Mary Damon.
The Black Death broke out that year, and after the source was determined, it was the Pope, several cardinals, and the most powerful blood-armored knight Lancelot who worked together to capture the witch and imprison her in the deepest part of the church prison.
Why do you just imprison the witch instead of killing her?
Even Yin Fu and others didn't know and didn't dare to ask.
There are many secrets involved, and I am afraid only those at the Cardinal level are qualified to understand them.
"Let's go." Xia Yanzhen turned around.
"Just leave like this?"
"Well, you don't want to jump down and get caught by a bunch of rats," Xia Yanzhen said.
He was not sensitive to an environment like an underground passage filled with rats.
Report the information here and let the Cardinal worry about it.
