Chapter 56 Characters
If Lumian remembers correctly, today, on the afternoon of March 30, Pierre. Berry would go to church to pray, and in the last loop, he and Raymond ran into him, and in the last loop, he also met him in the village square at about the same time.
But it's already three or four o'clock in the afternoon!
"When did he go?" Lumian asked.
Malty recalled:
"There is a mile of work."
In rural areas, except for a very small number of people, almost no one owns a clock, and the description of time is often done through specific things and markers, such as the season of picking grapes, the time to walk a mile, etc.
Of course, if the time is short enough for people to perceive it more clearly, then "a few minutes" and "a quarter of an hour" will also appear in oral expressions.
A mile of work? That's not long...... Lumian also thought that Pierre. Berry went to church in the afternoon and has not returned.
One mile of the village of Kordu is one kilometer in the Intis metric unit.
Saying goodbye to Pierre's mother, Marti, Lumian left Berry's house and walked towards the village square.
He didn't know that Pierre. Berry went to church in the afternoon and went again now, but was accidentally delayed in the afternoon and was unable to go.
If it is the first possibility, Lumian can feel the turbulence of the undercurrent - Pierre. It is absolutely not normal for Berry to go to church frequently to find the parishioner, and there must be something terrible brewing.
If it is the second possibility, it will be a big problem!
Until Lumian, who retains his memory, and Auror, who knows the cycle, make an attempt, "history" should not be different!
If there is really a difference, it may mean that the laws of the cycle have not yet been truly grasped by the siblings, or there are other people who can keep their memories.
Thinking of this, Lumian let out a "hey" and raised his hand to twitch his face lightly.
He was so shocked just now that he forgot to ask Pierre if he had been to church in the afternoon.
This is important.
"It's too suspicious to turn back and ask again, so I can only wait for a side talk when I drink with Pierre." Lumian quickly suppressed the annoyance in his heart and strode towards the square.
Entering the church of the "Eternal Sun", he saw the parish priest Guillaume Guillaume. Bene stood in front of the altar with various sunflowers, facing the few people sitting in the first row of chairs, not knowing what he was talking about.
Lumian had just passed through the gate, and Guillaume. Bene closed his mouth and looked this way.
Conspiracy? Lumian smiled and walked to the altar, looking at who was listening to the priest's "sermon".
He saw the shepherd Pierre. Berry, saw Pons. Bene, the villain, and several thugs who followed him, saw the mistress of the parish priest, Madina. Bene and Sybil. Berry, saw a man who surprised him and thought he deserved it - Arnold. Andrei, Naroka's youngest son, is a farmer in his forties.
"Hi, Pierre......" Lumian greeted with a smile, but paused halfway.
The last half of his sentence was originally "Didn't you invite me to drink, why are you here", but he suddenly woke up and remembered that this agreement had not yet appeared in this cycle.
That was only in the last cycle and the last cycle, this cycle, Lumian met the shepherd Pierre for the first time. Berry.
As the king of Kordu's mischief, Lumian reacted extremely quickly on the spot, immediately adjusted his body, faced the altar, and opened his arms:
"Praise the sun!"
With the help of this etiquette, his mind turned around, and he quickly had new words.
After praising the sun and getting a response from the parishioner, Lumian turned his body sideways and looked at Pierre who was sitting on the edge of the first row, looking at him suspiciously. Berry said:
"I heard that you went back to the village, so I hurried to your house to find you, and you came to the church."
He didn't say who he was listening to, anyway, Pierre. Berry was inevitably seen on his way from home to church.
There are really no witnesses, and Lumian still has a backup:
Ava's father, shoemaker Guillaume. Liziye.
"What are you looking for me for?" Pierre in a dark brown robe. Berry stood up, his blue eyes filled with a gentle smile and a dazed emotion.
Lumian was ready to make excuses and said with a smile:
"I want to hear you talk about the things you encountered during the transition, different countries, different villages, different places, it must be very interesting."
He also liked to chat with the shepherds who had returned from the transfer in the past, enriching his knowledge and reserves.
Pierre. Berry responded, his gaze falling from the other party's messy and greasy black hair to the brand new leather shoes:
"Got rich?"
"This time, my employer was more generous and gave me a lot of things." Pierre. Berry replied with a smile, "I'll treat you to a drink later."
"Okay." Lumian was waiting for this sentence.
He even asked:
"When will you go?"
This shows the demeanor of a regular customer in an old tavern, and in order to rub a glass of wine, he doesn't want to have a face.
Pierre. Berry looked at the parish priest Guillaume. Bene glanced at it and got a corresponding hint.
"How about having dinner?" He suggested.
"Okay." Lumian agreed very readily.
Then, he was in the shepherd, the parish priest, and the Pons. Under the gaze of Bene and the others, he sat on the second row of chairs closest to him.
"......" Pierre. Berry was stunned for a second, "Aren't you going back?"
Lumian smiled:
"I haven't prayed for a long time, so take this opportunity to pray so that the gods don't think I'm not pious enough.
"You continue, you continue, don't worry about me."
After saying that, he closed his eyes, lowered his head slightly, and crossed his arms to his chest.
Pierre. Berry, Guillaume. Bennet, Pons. Bene and the others, you look at me and I look at you, I can't continue.
After waiting patiently for a long time, seeing that Lumian never finished praying, the parish priest looked at Pierre. Berry, motioned for him to ask.
Pierre. Berry came to Lumian and patted him on the shoulder:
"How long will you pray?"
Lumian opened his eyes and said seriously:
"I plan to pray until dinner time, anyway, there is nothing else, I can make a confession later."
The parish priest Guillaume. Bene twitched the corners of his forehead when he heard this.
He looked at Madina, Sybil, Pons, Arnault and others waiting for him, exhaled slowly, and said to the shepherd Pierre. Berry winked and pouted at the door.
Pierre. Berry received the meaning that the priest wanted to convey, and hurriedly said to Lumian:
"I'm done praying, why don't we go to the old tavern now?"
"Okay!" Lumian stood up with a smile on his face, how could he be serious and religious.
He had previously found that his arrival made the conspiracy of the parish priest and others unable to continue, so he forcibly stayed for a while with a mischievous mentality until Pierre. Berry was forced to leave early.
He believed that the priest could see that he was acting, but when he encountered something like this, he didn't make it bad, or was he the king of pranks in Kordu Village?
The character must be maintained, so that it will not be suspected!
Lumian regretted that his sister should have gone to Berry's house to communicate with the three sheep, otherwise sending the "blank paper" to the church to eavesdrop on the conspiracy of the parish priests and others would definitely be able to obtain a lot of useful information.
Maybe the next cycle can do this...... But Pierre. Will Berry be aware of being monitored? He is not simple, at least now he is much better than the priest of the main hall who is still an ordinary person...... Lumian was in a state of confusion, followed the shepherd Pierre out of the church and walked to the old tavern.
…………
In the sheepfold behind Berry's house.
Aurore, dressed in a white tunic, circled from the grove and crossed the wooden fence.
As a beautiful lady who rarely goes out and is particularly eye-catching, she can only choose this rather hidden route, otherwise she will be easily stopped to chat and even encounter suspicion.
"I don't know when I'll learn the secret art of stealth and shadow lurking......" Aurore sighed silently and walked towards the three sheep huddled next to the haystack.
She said in highland dialect as she walked:
"Don't be afraid, I'm Pierre, the shepherd. Berry's enemy."
The eyes of the three sheep, whose hair was brown due to their dirt, suddenly changed dramatically, first vigilant and worried, then full of hope, and then dazed.
They didn't retreat any longer, letting Aurore walk in front of them.
Aurore further said:
"I discovered your specialness in some way, you should have been human, right?"
The eyes of the three sheep were suddenly filled with emotions such as shock, ecstasy, hope and doubt, and they bleat instinctively.
Aurore glanced at them:
"You can't talk, but you can write, can't you?"
One of the sheep was stunned for a second, and quickly drew on the soil.
It writes a very simple plateau word:
"Yes."
It is saying that they were originally human.
"What happened, why did you become sheep?" Aurore thought for a moment and added very quickly, "You write the first, middle and last parts of the matter respectively to save time."
The three sheep divided the labor slightly, using their hooves to write different content on the surface of the soil.
Not long after, they each completed a sentence:
"We got caught."
"A ceremony was held."
"I was wrapped in sheepskin and became a sheep."
A ritual magic that can use sheepskin to turn people into sheep? Phew, this is obviously much less difficult than directly turning a person into a sheep...... The only question is, which being is the ritual to pray to? Aurore's thoughts rolled and asked:
"It's Pierre. Berry's captured you, he is alone?"
She wanted to confirm that Shepherd Pierre. Berry's current strength.
"Yes." One of the sheep wrote.
Another sheep writes more:
"He also has a companion, all of whom are very powerful."
Before returning to the village, Pierre. Berry has strong strength? Aurore suddenly realized that something was wrong:
Such Pierre. Why did Berry behave in the parish of Guillaume. Bene is the leader?
Now Guillaume. Bene should still be just an ordinary person!
