In the center of the town, there is a quaint and elegant tower made of yellow bricks and off-white marble, surrounded by finely manicured lawns.

When they walked in, they realized that it was a church.

The only old nun in the tower's behavior was unexpectedly normal. After charging enough fees, not only did she arrange comfortable rooms for everyone, but she also provided a lot of fever-reducing herbs.

"It's really time for you to come. If it's completely dark, the people in the town will not be like that at all." The old nun carried them and walked down the stairs tremblingly.

The stairs are made of a thin piece of wood, and there is a creaking sound when you go up. If you go smart, it's quite rhythmic. Several people walked on it, and the wooden boards creaked non-stop, making up a messy piece of music.

Cara crept behind her, fearing that she would accidentally step on the stairs, and whispered, "Could it be that it will suddenly come back to normal?"

The old nun paced laboriously, and said in a familiar voice, "They are lunatics by day, and beasts by night, all the time."

"Disease? Or...custom?" Yale just happened to pass a small window, his eyes poked out of the window, and he witnessed several people in the town scrambling together, scratching and biting, blood and flesh splattered, it was the behavior of a wild beast. .

"Curse." The nun turned her head, the old man's yellow eyes took a deep look at him, and his shriveled lips wriggled again: "The witch's curse."

"Witch? You mean alchemist?" Laurie raised an eyebrow, a word he was unfamiliar with.

"It's not that kind of counterfeit... here it is." The old nun brought a few people to the top floor, took out the key with difficulty, and opened the two doors facing each other.

"When you leave tomorrow, go through the back city gate and go all the way east. If there is a carriage, you can reach the next town in two or three days."

Staring at her presbyopia, she skillfully tore off the two keys and put them into Charlene's hands. At the same time, she glanced at everyone: "You may be faster."

The female knight looked down at the key and asked, "Is there no carriage here?"

"There are only cars, no horses." The old nun passed the crowd without squinting, and walked down the stairs on her own.

"This old woman, with such a bad attitude, has obviously charged us so much money." Cara scolded her in a low voice while facing her back.

Watching the other party disappear at the corner of the stairs, Charlene whispered with a hint of doubt: "It's good, it's not a word."

"Miss Charlene?" Laurie cast a doubtful gaze.

"Go in and talk." The female knight beckoned and led everyone into the room on the left of the stairs.

Yale came in last, buttoned them lightly, turned around and said to everyone, "This town is obviously abnormal."

Carla walked to the bed opposite the door, fell headfirst, and grumbled, "This old nun is a little normal."

"She's the most abnormal one." Charlene pondered for a while, her sandals rubbed the floor unconsciously, her eyes moved casually from Laurie to Yale, and her thin lips trembled as she said:

"There are so many weird people in the town, don't you think it's strange that the old nun doesn't worry about her own life safety and continues to live here?"

"Perhaps...she has a secret to staying alive?". Laurie replied calmly, and at once he found that the guess was completely unconvincing to him.

"You mean... this old woman is weird?" Kara asked suspiciously.

"It's a good habit to be vigilant at all times." Yale took over the words for the female knight. He laid down Jasmine on the soft couch and covered the quilt by the way.

"There are a lot of doubts." Charlene pursed her thin lips and said uneasily, "I think this mission was out of control when I encountered the sudden storm."

Laurie frowned and murmured thoughtfully, "If you think so, what happens next has always been strange."

"Is it too much?" Kara suddenly smiled and explained to everyone: "The storm didn't send us directly to this town, our airship crashed in the forest. Even if there is a conspiracy, how can we be sure that we must Will you be here?"

"Because the town of Lloyd is to the east." The black-haired knight inserted a sentence seemingly indifferently, and Laurie's expression suddenly became serious.

"What do you mean?" A certain drunk knight stared blankly at the crowd, still confused.

Charlene stared at him with hateful eyes, and said simply and quickly:

"The small town of Lloyd is on the eastern frontier of the empire. As long as we want to complete the task, we must go east. In this way, as long as we have the heart, it is easy to control our actions, understand?"

"Impossible, impossible!" Kara shook her head violently in shock and muttered to herself: "The premise of this assumption is that the other party knows our mission... This is impossible! Could it be that... the obelisk has spies? "

"It's not as bad as you think." The female knight hurriedly stopped the guy from thinking wildly, and said hurriedly:

"It's very simple. Set up a bureau in advance and make a big news somewhere in Asia Minor. The obelisk will inevitably dispatch a knight to investigate, and then make a trap on the only way. It's that simple."

"Miss Charlene, your reasoning is indeed very reasonable, but the other party did not attack us. On the contrary, he provided medicine." Laurie looked at her calmly, with a calm expression.

The green-haired girl glanced at him lightly: "So it's just reasoning. I propose to search the tower head secretly, if you find any clues that are not good for us..."

"First strike is stronger!" She gestured with her fingers, crossing her white pink neck.

Before he finished speaking, the light in the house suddenly dimmed. Although there were no lights at the beginning, at least there was still moonlight, and even the cool breeze outside the window stopped.

The four of them turned their heads at the same time, and a convex translucent crystal that seemed to be immersed in clear water covered the window, with strands of blood-colored vertical stripes centered on the light blue turbid crystal, which spread radially throughout the entire body of the crystal.

Everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva dumbfounded, staring at the center of the crystal - from there, they could see their own reflections, still moving with the crystal...

"Four little mice are in the lion's den, discussing to kill the lion, what an interesting fairy tale... Hah ha ha ha ha!"

The old and infiltrating maniacal laughter entered the room from the window, and the entire tower shivered in the deafening thunder.

Accompanied by laughter, the convex crystal retreated, and the moonlight shone into the room again. At this time, everyone finally saw clearly the old nun's face that was magnified thousands of times.

Chills ran from the bottom of my heart to the whole body like a snake, and the cold air seeped into everyone who looked at her from those blue eyes, Yale took a sharp breath, and desperately squeezed out of his chest:

"Run!!!"

At the same time, he quickly reached out and grabbed Jasmine on the soft couch, smashing the wall of the room. The remaining three also reacted quickly, retreating in an instant, and they will completely collapse in three or two.

Immediately afterwards, a foul-smelling hurricane poured into the house in a blink of an eye, smashing furniture and utensils.
