Chapter 2749 Cursed Fire and Burning Tree
“Yesterday Flora was at the hotel completing the music score you found. The church, led by Mr. Gerald Delon, the ‘Master Constructor’ of the Thirteen Rings, has completed the composition of the Love Lake. Peripheral blockade ”
Miss Danister said, putting down the book in her hand:
“Also, Linda Bennet is awake.”
Except for Shad and Flora, a total of eleven people were rescued from the lake on Tuesday night. As of now, only three people, including Linda Bennett, are awake.
Miss Denister obtained their photos and information through the academy, and Shade understood it as soon as he saw those photos:
“Aren’t those three awake people the three people we saw floating on the lake in our dreams?”
“Yes, Daniste and I both believe that this means that the three of them were the three people who had the lowest level of dreaming at that time. As for the remaining eight people, both the church and the academy believe that they will never wake up. ”
The man and woman other than Linda Bennett are not companions. Among them, 25-year-old George Conde is the son of the local police chief Mr. Conde. Their family is even distantly related to the Bennet family.
According to Mr. Kant’s own statement, after he accidentally bought a pink necklace, he dreamed of this big lake in his dream, and then he wanted to find it strangely.
When entering the forest last Sunday, Mr. Kant suddenly felt that he knew the location of the lake, and then somehow sank into the lake.
As for that woman, she is a student of the “Ximu Town Music Academy” and is one grade higher than Miss Bennet.
She claimed to have found a strange book in the school warehouse, and then she did a lot of things with vague memory until she somehow entered the lake.
The church is still investigating the claims made by the three people, but at least three people have passed psychiatric evaluations and it can be determined that their spirits have returned to normal.
The book that Linda Bennett knew the secret of the Lake of Love, Mr. Kant’s necklace and the female student’s book have all been confiscated by the church. Out of caution, although the three were nominally allowed to leave the church temporarily, each of them wore a charm that the church said was an “exorcism” but was actually used to locate the person.
They will not be allowed to leave the local area, and their journey will be strictly monitored.
The reason why they were released so simply was because the church did not have a place to live, but because they wanted to determine whether it was a coincidence that these people came into contact with things related to “mermaids”. The church is quite worried about this. In today’s troubled times, if there is another unknown-level relic causing chaos everywhere, it will make many things more complicated.
As for the charm used to track their location, of course it also has the function of “alarming immediately after leaving a certain distance from the human body”.
It’s just the follow-up of the incident that the two ladies introduced to Shade, not to praise the church’s quick decision, but the new situation of the Bennet family:
“To thank the church for its help, the Bennet family wanted to send Linda Bennet to the church to become a nun.”
“What?”
Xia De, who was holding the cat, asked suspiciously:
“If I remember correctly, those women who are at a disadvantage in family struggles, or are involved in some kind of scandal, will take the initiative to become church nuns in order to prove their innocence.”
The nuns of the Zhengshen Church do not have the option of quitting midway. As long as they choose this path, it is impossible to leave the church. The steam age seems to be more open and free than before, but the religious atmosphere is still strong. After all, God does exist.
“Yes, just as you said.
Linda Bennet committed suicide several times for York Bronte, and now she is really involved in extraordinary events. In addition, our report to the church directly stated that she had used the Lake of Love. In the lake, she actually had no way out. ”
Flora grew up in Willendale and is quite familiar with this aspect:
“It is impossible for Linda Bennet to get married now, so instead of letting her stay at home and being gossiped about, which may even affect the marriages of her sisters, sisters, and brothers, it is better to let her go directly to the church
Although everyone knows what this means, at least this path is not the worst choice. ”
Xia De stroked the cat a few more times:
“There is a female elder in the Belindel family who is a nun in the church in Yuewan. Miss Belindel took me to visit her. I remember Miss Belindel told me that being a nun is basically equivalent to Yu was expelled from the family.”
“It’s not that serious, but there is definitely no inheritance right. This is to protect the private property of the nobility from being swallowed up by the church. Well, it is indeed equivalent to being removed from the family.”
Flora nodded. As for why Shade was taken to meet relatives of the Belindel family when she was in Moon Bay, she certainly understood that the countess had her own thoughts just like she did now.
But it happened that the countess also brought people to the Lake of Love to rescue her a few days ago, so she could not ask about it:
“No one is right or wrong in this matter. Since Linda Bennett used the water of the Lake of Love, it is the right thing to accept the punishment.
To put it this way, she should actually thank Shade. If Shade hadn’t defeated York Bronte, Linda Bennet’s soul would have been imprisoned on the edge of life and death by the dead man when she died. ”
“Anyway, local things are getting more and more complicated. I originally thought there were only tree holes and time travellers, but now it seems that there are dangers everywhere in the forest.”
Xia De sighed:
“Today I want to talk to the hermits, thank them for providing information about the Lake of Love, and by the way, I also want to ask about the local tree father’s beliefs. Miss Danister, you’d better go with me.”
Because Miss Denister went with him on several visits to the hermits.
Of course the red-haired girl had no objection, but the witch said:
“It just so happens that I have to stay and continue to perfect the score. When you come back today, I will probably be able to demonstrate the final effect to you.”
“So what instrument are you going to write this as a score for?”
“Piano, I like piano the most.”
Although they now know where the hermits are stationed, Shade and the two did not rush in directly. Instead, they went to Xiaomigu Village as before and met with the familiar hermit Mr. Van Buren before being led by him. Went to a camp in the jungle.
The hermits’ camp has not changed much, except that as autumn comes to an end, the hermits are also hoarding food for the winter and renovating some houses:
“The snow will be very heavy this winter.”
Mr. Van Buren said.
Mr. Davis, the great elder of [Forest Hermits Group] did not go out today, so he greeted the two people who visited again in the camp. After Shade expressed his gratitude, he waved his hand quickly:
“No need to thank us, didn’t you resolve this matter independently in the end?”
He was quite afraid of the power there and did not want to talk more about the Love Lake, so Shade did not continue the topic. He originally wanted to continue the topic about the tree father’s belief, but Mr. Davis suddenly asked:
“Actually, we have encountered a problem here recently. I wonder if you can help.”
“Since the Hermits helped us, we will also help you.”
The red-haired sorceress said, Mr. Davis nodded:
“Please follow me, this way.”
Mr. Davis and the secret keeper Mr. Meloni took them out of the camp, but they didn’t go too far in the forest when they saw a temporary camp.
The camp was built around a dark tree. There were two ring warlocks who belonged to the hermit order in the camp. Seeing Mr. Davis approaching, he temporarily left the place, and Shade also discovered something strange about the tree.
The tree itself was scorched black, and at the bottom of the tree, a deer that was also scorched was completely fused with the tree, as if they were one before being scorched.
The deer that should have died is still alive now. The middle part of its body has merged into the charred trees. Now the charred head and tail are still shaking, as if trying to break free from the trunk.
After the four Shads approached, the charred deer even opened its mouth and spit out a stream of flames at them, but the flames were immediately blocked by the ritual arranged by the hermits.
“What is this?”
Shad asked curiously, but Miss Danister answered:
“A typical cursed creature. It seems that both the tree and the deer were burned to death by the fire, but the soul of the deer was obviously twisted by some evil force, and then forced the corpses of the deer and the tree to continue to be active.”
Mr. Meloni nodded in surprise, but she didn’t expect that she could see it at a glance:
“Three days ago, the rangers in charge of forest patrols in the Hermits discovered this kind of thing, but not here, but about 10 miles southeast of this location. They first found a small area of fire. The woodland was originally thought to be a normal autumn forest fire, but after the flames were extinguished, it was discovered that something similar to this had ignited the forest.”
“Similar? So you found a lot of similar things?”
“Yes, as of before you entered the camp just now, at least ten similar trees were found in the entire northern part of the Vista Woodland. This one is the closest to us.
All similar trees are igniting surrounding trees, but they only maintain the flames within a certain range and continue to burn, rather than spreading infinitely. Their forms of power are very similar, and their appearance is composed of charred trees and charred animals.
For safety reasons, we have arranged for people to look after the trees separately, and the news has been reported to the local church. The lady was right, not only the deer, but the tree was also alive.
Even though it has no leaves on its branches, this thing will actually actively grow burning leaves, which is quite dangerous in the autumn forest. ”
