Chapter 26 You Can’t Look Directly at Me
Although there was something wrong with the atmosphere at the scene, she could not let the atmosphere continue forever, otherwise Clary always felt that she would not be able to stay.
"That...Miss Jeanne?" Clary said tentatively: "Please come in and talk about it. There is no need to stand outside the door all the time."
The girl nodded silently and then walked directly into the room.
She circled around the maid who was immersed in writing formulas, and then slowly sat down - opposite Yuye.
The girl Jeanne casually glanced at the manuscript papers placed on the table, wanting to see what this woman had written, and then... and then nothing more.
can't read--! !
I can’t understand it at all——! !
I can’t even understand what words are written——!
It just feels like some kind of mathematical formula...can't it be like this?
Not all the tutors hired by my father praised themselves for learning things quickly. There were several tutors before and after, and they all said they had nothing to teach them...could this be the difference between country people and city people? ?
I'm not illiterate!
"Miss Jeanne, it's too early for you to read these things. Don't read them, they will be very nerve-wracking." The maid suddenly stopped the quill in her hand and looked up.
But the girl was not to be outdone and said: "Indeed, most people can't understand these things. Things that are too much beyond the public's understanding may be the domain of heresy."
The maid smiled lightly and said, "Then Miss Jeanne, just think of me as a heretic."
The girl couldn't help but feel as if she had punched cotton... This woman from the city was really powerful. Just like if a woman from the same village quarreled with him, she would definitely be exhausted and blush.
"I heard that people in the church like to catch heretics the most, tie them to pillars and burn them." The girl chuckled and said, "Especially for heretics, burning them once is not enough. In order to avoid fear that the heretics will be resurrected with evil magic, even if It is a burnt corpse, and it will be burned a second time until it is completely turned into ashes. Can you imagine the pain?"
The maid's bright eyes looked at the girl. In the end, she did not speak, but shook her head gently, "I hope that Miss Jeanne will never understand this kind of pain."
The girl frowned immediately.
Naturally, she would not understand this kind of pain. How could she understand this kind of pain - she is the holder of the [Sword of Victory], she is the human being chosen by [Saint Michael], how could she be heresy?
At this time, the maid asked: "Miss Jeanne is here to find someone, right? But the person you are looking for has not come back yet. Do you want to continue waiting here, or let me leave a message."
The girl frowned again and said without thinking, "Do you know who I'm looking for?"
"I think you probably know." The maid chuckled.
The girl couldn't help but ask directly: "You...what is your relationship with him?"
The maid said: "I am just an ordinary maid beside the master."
"Maid?" The girl couldn't help but be startled, and then nodded, but said nothing... If she was just a maid - but why do you want such a beautiful maid! !
Sure enough, men in the city have bad intentions!
"Wait a minute, you just said, you're just one of them?" The girl has a good foundation and a very quick mind. "You mean, you're not the only one?"
"The master's family fortune is not small." The maid said with a chuckle: "Of course there are many servants around... It is not strange to have several maids."
The girl Jeanne's face suddenly darkened, "How many more?"
There is something special about being a maid instead of a maid. Although Mr. Jacques is not from a noble family, he is still a famous farmer and has some wealth, so the girl can be exposed to some upper class things from an early age.
I heard that for the master, maids are the kind of servants who can solve various needs...
The girl was untouched, and after just imagining certain things, she felt panicked, and even her throat became a little dry... Looking at the woman with almost impeccable manners in front of her, the girl felt like she was facing a mountain.
Why hasn't that sweet-tongued guy come back yet?
"You... did you hear anything?" Suddenly, Clary's voice suddenly sounded, "It was... coming from outside."
The girl frowned immediately and listened carefully. Then her face changed drastically. She stood up in an instant and exclaimed: "No, it's a warning! There is an enemy attack! It's the Burgundian cavalry coming! You guys need to find one first." Hide, or go to the village hall to meet my father!"
With that said, the girl lifted up her long skirt and rushed out in a hurry.
Seeing this, the maid suddenly let out a sigh of relief, "I still can't calm down."
...I can’t keep my temper! !
The maid, Clary, grabbed the feather duster again in panic, "What should we do? What should we do? Boss Asaxes hasn't come back yet, what should we do?"
"Miss Clary, can I ask you a favor?" the maid said suddenly.
"Ah? What's going on...at this time?" The maid Clary couldn't help but be startled, and her body, trembling with fear, couldn't help but stop.
I only heard the maid lady chuckle and say: "I want to use your destiny system to take a look."
In an instant, Clary's eyes opened, and gradually opened... She probably couldn't react, and subconsciously said: "You... what did you just say? I..."
She became extremely flustered by the way, "The Destiny System is the most private matter and the most sacred and inviolable wealth of the citizens of the Kingdom of Holy Light. How could it be..."
"Miss Clary, you actually have a destiny system." The maid said calmly.
"How is that possible!" Clary exclaimed subconsciously, and immediately knew that she had said the wrong thing, "I... of course I also have a destiny system! Miss You, Youye, are you kidding me?"
"Don't be afraid." The maid stood up and walked to Clary's side. "There is no need to panic, and there is no need to hide it. The Destiny System, if I say you have it, you have it. You are not hiding in the Free City. Heretic...you are just a little bit stunted."
Dysplasia?
Subconsciously, the maid Clary thought about how she usually wears C-cups without sponges, okay? Although it’s hard to tell when wearing maid uniforms for work, it can’t be said to be stunted, right?
But he saw the maid lady waving her hand straight down on Clary's chest, "Destiny, turn on."
In an instant, Clary felt as if something was about to rush out of her body... This impulse gathered crazily in her chest!
She even felt an unprecedented sense of swelling, and she couldn't help but let out a soft moan that sounded like pain.
At the same time, in Clary's sight, a light curtain similar to an interface was slowly opening... The moment it opened, Clary even forgot about the abnormality of her body.
Her eyes were almost dull as she watched the light curtain being formed bit by bit...
"It turns out that the system interface is really colorful..."
Clary murmured to herself like she was dreaming, and her palms even trembled, wanting to touch the light curtain in front of her.
She never knew that her destiny system really existed. She always thought that her destiny system was just a decoration, a gray, lifeless thing that wasn't even a business card... She was born evil. prove.
She once wandered in the wilds of [Free City]. Ever since she was sensible, she had never taken the initiative to enter any town. She didn't even have parents.
Only Boss Asachus didn't care about her. He brought her back from the wild to [Rose Mansion], gave her a stable job, and even taught her how to hide the fact that her destiny system couldn't be used.
"I...it turns out that I can also have faith."
"You don't even have it yourself, so what do you want to do with faith?"
Clary subconsciously raised her head and realized that she had passed through the interface of the Destiny System and landed on Miss Youye... But at this time, Miss Youye...
"You can't look at me."
Clary's spirit felt as if she had been hit by something, and her consciousness was completely lost.
…
…
The sound of the trumpet has resounded throughout the village.
The militiaman on guard in front of the village gate climbed down from the wooden guard tower in panic. However, he was too frightened and accidentally fell all the way down.
But he couldn't care less about the pain and quickly struggled to get up.
The warning horn had just sounded, and the person in charge of the village was afraid that he had no time to react. He wanted to report what he saw to the ground as soon as possible.
Fortunately, because Mr. Jacques came back early to report the news, the militia in the village had already begun defensive work... The village had been attacked several times, and some defensive equipment had been prepared and could be pulled out immediately if needed. .
"careful--!"
Not knowing who had given the warning, the militiaman subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.
But at this moment, a strong stinging sensation almost suffocated the militiaman on the sentry post... and then, under the influence of huge inertia, his body fell directly to the ground!
Behind his back, a heavy two-handed sword was suddenly inserted!
The two-handed sword actually pierced the militiaman's body directly and was nailed to the ground... And this two-handed sword was thrown from a distance!
At the same time, two figures quickly came to the side of the fallen militiaman.
"What's wrong with you!"
"He won't survive."
The two people who were flying over turned out to be Nan Xiaonan and Boss Asaxes - they were looking for food in the village, and they immediately spotted the cavalry charging towards them from afar.
Nan Xiaonan was very courageous at times, and Boss Asaxes was more curious at this moment. The two of them ran away to the nearby village entrance without much hesitation - but in the end they failed to save the militiaman. .
"This sword seems to be..." Mr. Asaches looked at the two-handed sword that pierced the militiaman in surprise.
This is the two-handed sword used by the cavalry captain Lyon Bell in [Rose Mansion].
"He can actually throw a big sword from such a distance, and with such power?" Boss Asaxes looked at the menacing cavalry team in front of the village in disbelief, "It was so shocking that his arm fell to the ground. people?!"
"When I first threw it, the distance was a few hundred meters at least... It really didn't look like normal human strength." Nan Xiaonan frowned slightly, then pulled Mr. Asaches' arm and hid aside.
Because the Burgundian cavalry has now threatened the village's first line of defense!
The wooden stakes blocking the road looked like paper under the charge of the horses... Several militiamen in charge of the first line of defense wanted to light the kerosene, but at this time they were too panicked and missed the opportunity. , was directly knocked away and trampled by the charging horses, and there was probably no chance of survival.
The militiamen on the second line of defense were screaming to fight... However, how could a few militiamen and some wooden road-blocking tools be able to withstand the charge of dozens of cavalry?
The defense lines were broken through one after another, and the twenty or thirty militia men temporarily organized by the village had all fallen... The Burgundian cavalry had officially invaded the village.
Fortunately, the villagers had already evacuated earlier and temporarily moved to the back of the village... But Nan Xiaonan and Mr. Asaxes didn't know their next move.
"Ms. Nan, have you noticed that there seems to be something wrong with the appearance of this group of cavalry?" Hiding aside and seeing the whole process of the cavalry breaking through the defense line, Boss Asaches couldn't help but look extremely serious at this time.
"I'm not blind." Nan Xiaonan said: "More than anything is wrong...these guys don't look like humans now."
What does the Burgundian cavalry look like?
Their bodies were stained with blood, and there were even various wounds, which seemed to be torn open by claws or bitten open by teeth... Not only the cavalry, but even the horses also had wounds from exhaustion.
The person's face was extremely pale, with no eyeballs, only the whites of his eyes. What appeared on his face was the ferocity and madness that wanted to destroy everything!
The cavalry rushed into the village, hitting everything wildly. They brandished their weapons and slashed at anything they encountered.
"It doesn't look like a human being...then, what does it look like?" Mr. Asaches took a deep breath and asked.
"Something like the dead." Nan Xiaonan thought for a moment and said, "These guys should have died once... Have you seen that guy? His chest is pierced, and his heart has long been gone."
"What the hell is going on..." Mr. Azaches was shocked: "When they were at [Rose Mansion], they were still human beings. How come they became like this in the middle of the night?!"
"They came here through the forest." Nan Xiaonan bit the nail of her thumb and muttered: "They must have encountered something while walking through the forest... What could it be?"
"Mr. Jacques has brought people here. Are they going to fight against this group of crazy cavalry?" Asaches waved his hand at this time.
Inside the village, Mr. Jacques held a sharp sword and rushed out with a group of young people in the village... But the moment Mr. Jacques met the cavalry head-on, he was frightened by the appearance of the cavalry. Jump!
"What kind of monster is this..."
