Chapter 201: The Underground Church
The cold wind howled around the low stone houses, whining and screaming, and several lonely dilapidated wooden buildings squeaked for mercy under the pressure of the wind.
The sky is like the theme song of this world, poverty, ignorance, barbarism, and squalor float on it, and the black night envelops the small port town like a refugee camp, and countless ragged homeless people freeze to death in the streets.
The occasional sound of a horse's snort mingling mingled with the sound of footsteps, alarming the sneaky figures who slipped into the shadows like frightened rabbits.
And when the night guards passed by without paying attention to the corpses on the ground, they once again quietly appeared everywhere.
The target of these men was a lonely drunk, or some hapless shop, but unlike the two dark shadows, they slowly turned into an alley and stopped in front of a tightly closed wooden gate.
It is an inconspicuous single-storey stone house, but if you look closely, you can see that the texture of the house is unusually hard, no less than the border walls.
The walls of the black hole are made of stacked stones, and there are some suspicious dark red marks on them, and the semi-circular wooden door made of wooden strips and iron sheets does not leave any gaps, as if to separate the inside and outside of the stone house into two worlds.
"Is this it?" Two people in black cloaks stood in front of the door, and one of them asked aloud, and if you listened closely, it was Yi Huan's voice.
"Yes sir, there are other secret passages underneath this, which I have not discovered, but this priceless treasure is very difficult to transfer. So they shouldn't run away. "The other person, of course, was Levin, and his tone was very much like that of the old butler of the old lord of the beginning. It's completely different from the submissive voice at the beginning.
Since Levine studied in the meditation basin for a week, he seems to have begun to adapt to the new identity of the housekeeper, whether it is the way of doing things or the habits of life, he seems to have changed a person, and he has begun to move closer to the direction of the housekeeper, which makes Yi Huan diverge his strange scientific research spirit, and whether the meditation basin will affect people's thinking.
Both of them were wearing cloaks, on which Yi Huan blessed the warmth charm and the iron armor charm. Levin's cloak also draped under a lightweight chain mail of modern craftsmanship.
At the same time, in order to avoid being recognized, both of them put on the kind of masks of Death Eater members, because Yi Huan planned to stay for a while after this incident.
Of course. The Death Eater's mask is much better than the Death Eater's, not only does it not affect vision, but it also does not get knocked down.
Such a big effort is naturally for the priceless treasure of the Holy See. Although Yi Huan doesn't have much interest in such things as wealth. But because there are no other supernatural powers in this world except for Catherine's portrait, as if they have all disappeared, Yi Huan can only let go of any suspicious clues while making Yi Huan puzzled.
If it's just a vampire diary, then this world is probably in a low-magic state, a vampire race, just like the original earth. Can't pull it up much.
Bloodsucker...... Witch...... If nothing else, this will be the next target for Yi Huan. Since the magic materials can't be replenished for the time being, Yi Huan won't wait, except for the pursuit of the Ministry of Magic on the Thames, Yi Huan hasn't intersected with other wizards.
Yi Huan doesn't stop chasing magic because it makes him find it interesting.
But Yi Huan will not be careless because of a low-magic world, he will not forget how Sirius died.
"Alajo Cave Open." Yi Huan held the old wand and lightly tapped the door lock, and the wooden door slowly opened a gap with Yi Huan's spell.
Behind the door, instead of a warm room, there was a corridor with a black hole, and a spiral staircase leading to the ground, as if there was no bottom in sight.
Yi Huan and Levin had already known about the intelligence, so they were not surprised by this situation, Yi Huan shook his cloak, "Follow me." ”
The two of them descended the stairs, and soon the road turned into a straight corridor, and there was no one to be seen along the way, except for the few torches burning sporadically on the walls.
According to what Levine learned, this was a secret underground inquisition of a church, and the two passed through one of the back doors, and as for why the so-called priceless treasure was brought to the inquisition, Levine had no way of deducing.
After walking some distance further, faint cries and wails began to pass through, and Yi Huan turned his head sideways, and listened carefully, it was the painful moans of some women.
The hysterical wails can be imagined what kind of inhuman torture they are under, in the dark old Europe, when demons and angels coexist.
"It's almost there." Yi Huan said with a flat expression, as long as there are people, they will always ask for the location of the treasure.
"Sir." Levin suddenly shouted from the side, as if he had something to say.
"What's the matter?" The footsteps of the two did not stop, it seemed that there was a tacit understanding, in fact, as long as one of them did not die, Yi Huan's spell would be effective forever, and Levin would not have any idea of betraying him, so Yi Huan was very relieved.
"I ...... I ......" Levine was a little overwhelmed, something he hadn't seen since he had adapted to his new role as a butler.
Although Yi Huan had no soul before, he did not study people's hearts, "Are you nervous? Yi Huan seemed to see in Levin again, who was a little scared and a little clever.
Was it his brother's worry that woke him up?
"Yes...... Yes. Levin took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Yi Huan glanced at him and asked flatly, "Is it because of your brother?" ”
"Yes sir." Levine lowered his head and followed behind Yi Huan, his voice low.
"This is the Inquisition, those books I gave you, you should know what this place is." Yi Huan walked in front, his voice fluctuating, "If your brother is here, he can't survive, or...... He's not here. ”
"I understand." Levine whispered, "What if...... I mean, if you ...... Can you help me get revenge? ”
Yi Huan didn't even look back this time, "No problem." He said calmly.
"Thank you." The conversation between the two was very short, and each housekeeper had to find out his master's style, otherwise, he would lose his job.
Finally, as the hallway went deeper and deeper, the screams of pain grew more and more piercing, giving Levine goosebumps, and after turning a corner, the end of the front of the hallway shone brightly.
As soon as you come out of the tunnel, there are no cold stone walls on either side, but one prison after another, closed with sturdy wooden doors, and each cell is lit up with torches next to it.
Yi Huan looked through the gap in the wooden door, some were empty, and some were lying inside a dying woman covered in blood.
But there were also cages where people who had not yet been tortured were held, and when they saw two masked strangers entering, they did not pounce on them and beg them to let them out, but shrank in the corners and shivered.
Soon, the abnormal movement of the prison made the guards guarding here vigilant, and a strong man with a big waist and a round waist came from the other side with a leather whip around his waist, and he collided with Yi Huan and the two of them in the face.
Although the world is generally very backward and even a little ignorant, not everyone is like this, and it is obvious that people with higher status will receive much more information than those civilians who are struggling to make ends meet, they know more, and their thoughts are more complicated.
For example, this caretaker, who has seen a lot in the world, naturally does not make a fuss, and is far less frightened than when Levin saw Yi Huan.
When he spotted two intruders in black cloaks and strange masks, he was startled, but he didn't panic, and his first reaction was to touch the scimitar on his right and call out to his companion.
"What are you......" He was about to let out a loud cry, when a flash of green light flashed in his hand, choking back the second half of his sentence, and the caretaker's body twitched, and he fell to his knees limply, unfortunately, he could never finish the rest of the sentence.
This is the first life-seeking spell of the night, and it definitely won't be the last. (To be continued......)
