In Dong Remi Village, all the villagers had been mobilized. The villagers came out one after another … fully armed.
Although they were fully armed, they had only used everything that could be used at home.
For example, they used stewing pots as helmets, or used winter clothes to bind their hands and feet … The men picked up ironware, and the women picked up rolling pins or kitchen knives.
It seemed that the villagers were quite experienced in this kind of situation. Although they seemed to be in a hurry, they didn't panic.
In this kind of situation, Assaches found that it was quite easy to find food — because the villagers' houses were all open, and many houses were empty at this time.
The villagers had already gathered.
"With this much, it should be enough." At this time, Mr. Assaches touched the spoils in his hand, looked at Nan Xiaonan, and said, "Let's go back first, Lady Nan."
"Okay." Nan Xiaonan nodded.
On the way to find food, Nan Xiaonan and Assaches didn't talk much … Mr. Assaches seemed to have a lot on his mind. At this time, because they found enough food, he looked a little better.
But only a little better.
"Boss Assaches, are you worried about that Ludic Principal?" Nan Xiaonan asked tentatively at this time, "I heard that you have a good relationship since you were young."
"Bad relationship." Assaches said straightforwardly and seriously.
Nan Xiaonan immediately said, "The Sage should have said that we should get along well, love and help each other."
"No, the Sage didn't say this." "Either you've remembered it wrongly, or you've interpreted the Holy Words wrongly," Mr. Arthas said sternly, "Either you've remembered it wrongly, or your interpretation of the Holy Words is wrong."
Nan Xiaonan was speechless … How did she know whether the Sage said it or not? Usually, he would say it. Since he was a Sage, wouldn't he preach?
"… Maybe, I remembered it wrong." Nan Xiaonan could only smile awkwardly and say, "It should be the [Saints] of the other seven capitals who said something similar."
Assaches did not refute this time. The reason for this was very simple: he was not familiar with the other seven!
Was it a lie?
Nan Xiaonan observed Assaches's expression. This time, she carefully considered her words before slowly saying, "Boss Assaches, what do you plan to do if we can't leave this place?"
Assaches said, "Then we can only continue to live here. We can't commit suicide. If we commit suicide, our souls won't be able to ascend to heaven. Even if we're in a dangerous place, we have to stay strong and survive. "
"But here, you can't even pray to obtain the power of will." Nan Xiaonan quickly said, "I just took a look, and I found that the people in this village don't seem to have much faith."
In fact, Assaches had also found it. He had roughly looked around the village, but he couldn't find a place like a church … Even when he sneaked into the houses to look for food, he didn't find any convenient prayer facilities in the houses.
"This may be a place with poor faith." Mr. Assaches said thoughtfully, "When I was young, when I traveled with my teacher, I heard that there would be some places with poor faith. Even the holy light of the seven capitals couldn't shine on them."
"What if this place is not even the Holy Light Kingdom?" Nan Xiaonan suddenly asked.
"You're more worried about your own situation, Miss Nan." The Arthachis boss suddenly looked at her.
Nan Xiaonan blinked her eyes in surprise. She didn't mind that her intentions had been seen through … What she was surprised about was that Boss Ashaith's line of thought seemed to be somewhat inconsistent with the main theme of the entire Holy Light Kingdom.
How should she say it?
If every resident of the Holy Light Kingdom was a model human with an almost perfect personality, then Mr. Assaches was obviously the imperfect one … Or, he had some defects?
"Is there anything wrong with that?" Nan Xiaonan said, "Of course I will think about my own safety, and when danger comes, the first thing I will think about is myself. This is human nature, human instinct, what's wrong with that? "
Mr. Assaches shook his head and said, "Human nature is kind, it shouldn't be selfish."
Nan Xiaonan said disapprovingly, "Now I want to kill you or K er Lili. Only one of you can survive, who do you want it to be … Don't hesitate, what's the answer in your heart?"
"Of course …" Mr. Assaches opened his mouth, but the moment he opened his mouth, he couldn't say the answer in his heart.
He was shocked to find that he couldn't produce an answer in his heart!
"Your question is not valid." Mr. Assaches finally shook his head, "You don't have a reason to kill me or K er Lili, because we are now in the same difficult situation, we need to help each other to have the possibility of getting out of this difficult situation."
"So." Nan Xiaonan chuckled and said, "Mr. Assaches, you are avoiding my question … Because you may have hesitated in your heart."
"I haven't." Mr. Assaches took a deep breath and said seriously, "I firmly believe that the Saint will definitely appear in the midst of despair, bringing us hope and dispelling fear … So, what you are thinking is not valid."
"You firmly believe? What makes you so sure? "Nan Xiaonan smiled coldly and said," In this place, you can't even pray, right? How would the Saint know that you are in trouble? "
"Of course it's because!" Mr. Assaches opened his mouth and then closed it.
"Because of what?" Nan Xiaonan suddenly narrowed her eyes.
Mr. Assaches said indifferently, "The Saint won't give up anyone who believes in her. You worry too much, Lady Nan."
— He actually restrained himself from saying something out of impulse?
— As expected of an old man, an old scheming boy.
Nan Xiaonan shrugged her shoulders, then suddenly pointed to the front and said with a smile, "Now, let's see if the Saint you speak of, Mister Arthashis, will not give up on any of his believers."
Mr. Assaches frowned doubtfully and looked at the direction where Nan Xiaonan pointed.
Outside the village, on the road in the field, something was rapidly approaching … It was a dark mass of people!
"Seems like … cavalry?" Mr. Assaches couldn't help but turn pale with fright.
…
…
"Father!"
On the other side of Donremi Village, the girl easily met up with Mr. Jacques under the guidance of the family's maid.
At this time, Mr. Jacques was discussing the cavalry's attack with Village Chief Charles and several other village representatives. They thought that the cavalry would attack soon, but after waiting for most of the night, there was still no movement outside the village.
The village chief and the others naturally didn't doubt Mr. Jacques' intelligence — After all, this was something that several village militias could prove besides Mr. Jacques.
They were only puzzled about the cavalry's absence. This wasn't a good thing because fear and uneasiness would continue to expand with time.
Perhaps, this group of Burgundian cavalry was waiting for the villagers to be exhausted because of nervousness before attacking and destroying them in one fell swoop?
Perhaps, the cavalry's real goal wasn't the village, but they were just passing by and actually had other missions?
There were many different opinions, and there was no unified statement … Gradually, there was even a trend of quarreling.
At this time, Mr. Jacques sighed, rubbed his eyebrows, and temporarily left the discussion. He came to the door of the meeting room and looked at his daughter.
He straightened his face and said, "Jehanne, you should know that there is a limit to my tolerance for you."
The girl bowed her head and apologized. She knew that her father liked this — as long as she bowed her head and apologized, she could always hit her father's weak spot.
"Usually, you are willful and mischievous, but this time, you can't be easily forgiven." Mr. Jacques' anger was quite big today, and there was even a tendency that it couldn't be extinguished.
The girl was calculating in her heart.
Mr. Jacques said directly, "Your mother said that it is time to find you a husband. After you get married, you will become more mature. I have always felt that you are still young and shouldn't decide on marriage so quickly. But now, it seems that it is necessary to find you a good husband. "
The girl looked up at her father in surprise, and her heart was suddenly enlightened.
Her father was probably using this opportunity to reveal some information to her, so that when the young man who stepped forward in the mansion safely returned to fulfill the marriage contract, he could pave the way for her, right?
He was obviously facing his own daughter, so why did he have to be so scheming?
Although she had some complaints in her heart, the girl surprisingly didn't refute Mr. Jacques at this time. She just lowered her head and looked pitiful.
At this time, Mr. Jacques was also surprised that his daughter didn't refute — logically speaking, with his daughter's character, she should have argued for it.
Why did it seem like she acquiesced?
Forget it, it's not necessarily a bad thing for his daughter to be obedient … At least when that brave young man returns safely, he can fulfill his promise.
"Father, let's talk about my matter later." The girl looked up at this time and said, "How is the situation in the village now?"
"We have temporarily arranged the retreat route." Mr. Jacques said worriedly, "But once the cavalry attack, with our speed, I am afraid that it won't take long for them to catch up … Originally, the sooner we retreat, the better, but the people inside are arguing non-stop and haven't made up their minds. They are still fantasizing that perhaps they can give up their wealth and let the cavalry plunder it in exchange for safety. Humph! Last time they set fire to the village, this time they dare to kill people with swords! "
"Father, I have a way to protect everyone's safety!" At this time, a flash of light flashed in the girl's eyes, and she quickly said, "I know a place, very secret and spacious enough to hide!"
"Oh?" Mr. Jacques was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed, "Where is it?"
The girl quickly mentioned that not far behind their farm, there was a secret passage that could lead to an underground lake and an underground river.
"… That was one time when I was hunting nearby, chasing a prey and accidentally found it!"
"Hunting again!" Mr. Jacques stared and then shook his head, "But it was a coincidence … If what you said is true, then this time the village may be able to survive the danger safely. Without further ado, I will discuss this matter with Charles and the others immediately! You wait for me outside, when I need you, I will call you in and explain … You can say that you found it when you were lost while walking. "
"Got it …" The girl murmured and then immediately said, "By the way, father, why didn't I see those outsiders who left with you in the afternoon? Didn't they come back? "
Mr. Jacques briefly explained what had happened, "Except for that brave young man, the rest of the people have come back … That young man was really brave. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that I would have died under the sword of the cavalrymen. If he can come back safely, you must thank him, do you understand! "
The girl was a bit absent-minded at this time.
— — Still not back?
— — It shouldn't be … I have already gone home first, and even changed my clothes before entering the village, why hasn't that person come back yet?
— — Or, he has already returned to the village, but hasn't come back yet … Instead, he met up with his companions first?
"Where are those outlanders now?" the girl suddenly asked.
Mr. Jacques casually pointed at a house in front, and when he was about to speak, a voice called him from the meeting room … It sounded quite excited.
"You wait for me here, don't go anywhere!" Mr. Jacques hurriedly said, and then returned to the room.
The girl quietly stuck out her tongue at this time, lifted the long skirt that hindered her movement, and directly turned around and left.
…
…
Miss K er Lili of the [Rose Mansion] was now using the feather duster to drive away mosquitoes for Mr. Ludic and the male assistant … This was the only thing she could do.
K er Lili was now looking at Miss You Ye who was sitting on the table and writing something with awe.
She had already written many sheets of white paper, and now neatly stacked them aside … They were all formulas and names that K er Lili couldn't understand at all.
Something about the purity of belief, something about the benchmark of souls … and a lot of other things.
Ha … Yes.
Miss Maid even yawned at this time, and was about to fall asleep.
At this time, the door outside the room was suddenly pushed open by someone.
K er Lili was so shocked that she didn't feel sleepy at all, and even directly stood up, and then held the feather duster in front of her to protect her body. Then she found that she was holding it upside down, so she turned it around again and continued to protect her body.
At the door, she saw a 14 or 15 years old beautiful girl with long blonde hair wearing a dress. K er Lili's tense heart was slightly relaxed, and she subconsciously asked, "Who are you?"
"Jehanne!" The girl in front of the door directly said her name, and then frowned, "Only you are here?"
"This room is only so big. Miss, will your eyesight be affected at night?"
The one who responded was Miss Maid.
At this time, Miss Maid was still writing a lot of things that K er Lili couldn't understand … She didn't raise her head.
The girl in front of the door couldn't help but frown again. She looked at the woman who was concentrating on writing something, and couldn't help but think in her heart, "She is a strong opponent!"
…
Why did the atmosphere feel a little strange?
The maid of the [Rose Mansion] quietly shrank in the corner … She just remembered that her feather duster was still raised, so she quickly put it down, and showed an awkward but polite smile.
But neither the girl in front of the door called Jehanne, nor the maid who was writing, actually looked at her.
— So embarrassing!
— Boss Assaches, come back quickly!
