Chapter 2440 "Sheep" and "Wolf" (1)

Margaret was terrified, when the woman took the window she was closest to. Margaret was supposed to stay at the castle today, but she and Matilda exchanged, and Leila still Even though he was calm, he was still in shock.

  Georgiana gave them both some hot cocoa with a softener, and then let Matilda take care of the two of them, and then went to see what was going on with Figuer herself.

   When she was teaching, she met several children who were particularly afraid of the forest. At first, she thought they were deliberately feigning illness and skipping class.

There are many people who have nightmares. In various fairy tales, the forest is always a scary place. The grandmother of Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White and the hunter, etc. After listening to these stories that adults think are full of childishness, children do not stop dreaming. Under the control, I imagined myself running barefoot in the dark forest, avoiding wolves, hunters, etc., and gradually developed a mental disease called forest phobia.

   There are also some people who are worried that they will get lost in the forest, even if they don't need to remind them of Albus, they will not approach the forbidden forest.

  Most people get rid of this fear in adulthood, seeing the shadows left by the branches no longer feel that it is some kind of monster finger, but some people can't get rid of it for the rest of their lives. Especially with "real monsters" appearing in TV news and movies, the fear of the forest is even more ingrained.

  The woman was placed in a servant's room on the first floor, and the servants of the castle were standing outside the door, and the room was whispering.

  Compared to the male cavalry, she believed that Feigl, who was also a woman, had been holding onto the female dragoon from the very beginning. But before Georgiana could get close, Edgeworth stood in her way.

   "Go back, we're here," Edgeworth said. "The police will be here soon."

  Georgianna didn't insist. She turned her head and left to check the castle's defense. The drawbridge was suspended with the crisp sound of chains and gears crashing. There were also guards on the city walls, and the bonfires were lit. Although Bonaparte took half of the guards with him when he left, with the addition of the Mamluks, with the moat, there should be no problem in dealing with thousands of robbers.

According to the latest census, France has the highest proportion of the rural population, at 88%, while the Netherlands has the highest degree of urbanization, at 37%, and the UK ranks behind the Netherlands, only 22%, 82% of the Belgian rural population, and only 18% of the urban population, but those populations are distributed in large and small villages.

Compared with cities, the crime rate in rural areas is much lower, but it does not mean that those villages are all "idyllic songs". During the inspections in Normandy, many villages built high earth walls to prevent bandits. of.

The countryside has always been a paradise for rebels. They can also disguise as those villages and build fortifications. The Boucher Castle, which Georgiana visited in the morning, is also near the village. It used to be a residence for exiles, but the drawbridge in front of the castle has been demolished. , replaced with an English-style courtyard, and there is a road leading directly to the castle.

Those gloomy defense facilities usually look quite disappointing, but now they feel a sense of security. After a round of inspections, she found that there was no problem. She returned to her room again, and passed by Padma's bedroom on the way. There was a knock on the door of Padma's bedroom.

   "Come in," said Padma.

  Georgianna went in, but found that Padma was not alone, Bertin was also inside, and the two of them were holding a teacup each.

   "What are you doing?" asked Georgiana.

   "I'm teaching her how to use tea stains for divination." Padma handed the cup in her hand to Georgiana. "It's the same as in the morning."

  Georgianna took the cup, which still had a wolf-like pattern on the bottom.

   "Me too." Bertin handed Georgiana his cup. "Looks like the danger isn't over yet."

   She didn't say it was suspicious, and Sybil's divination was not always accurate. When they went out in the morning, they thought they would be in danger. Isn't it safe to return now?

   She looked at Bertin again, and Bertin looked at Georgiana as if he had something to say.

   "What do you want to say?" asked Georgiana.

   "About the necklace incident." Bertin said softly, "there is one of them, you may know, her name is Jeanne."

   "I've heard her name." Georgiana said coldly.

"The first time she appeared in Versailles, no one noticed her, and she had no chance to contact the queen," Bertin said. "Then one day, she suddenly fainted, and many people gathered around to rescue her. ', and then she told everyone about her life experience. As for the reason for her fainting, it was because she hadn't eaten for several days."

   "How cunning." Padma said in surprise.

   "No, the real cunning is behind." Bertin said, "She lied that she knew the queen, and she said that when she saw everyone, in the end, in the whole palace, I am afraid that the queen herself did not know she knew her."

   "What do you want to say?" asked Georgiana.

   "You shouldn't have let that woman in," Bertin said.

   "It's also possible that she was in real danger," Padma said.

   "I'll hand her over to the police..." Georgiana said.

   "It won't be that easy." Bertin looked like a prophet. "She managed to get in, and she won't leave without getting enough benefits."

  Georgianna looked at Padma, this time she did not condemn Bertin for being unsympathetic.

   "I have a bad feeling too," Padma said after a while.

   "Let's talk when the police come." Georgiana said tiredly, "Wake me up when they come."

   Then she lay directly on Padma's bed.

   "You should change your clothes before going to bed..." Bertin said.

  Georgianna was too lazy to care about her. She remembered that when she first arrived in this world, she didn't feel tired at all, and she could not eat, drink or sleep.

She ran fast in the long and narrow corridor, flanked by door after door, she remembered that once she pushed open one of them, and then saw the scene of Josephine slapping Osten, Josephine asked her Marry Louis, although neither of them likes each other.

  Why did she push that door open?

   She recalled the reason at that time, as if the camera was reversed, this time she returned to the corridor again, but there was one more thing in the corridor.

   It was a sphinx, and although there were Egyptian sculptures everywhere, this sphinx was alive.

   It looks quite scary, but as long as you answer the right questions, it's not dangerous, and the little wizards of the Triwizard Tournament can deal with it.

  But those sphinxes have female faces, but this is only a male face, and they are much bigger than normal sphinxes.

   Its huge claws landed on the carpet, approaching slowly and silently, and Georgiana subconsciously wanted to pull out her wand.

   "Open the door!"

   A roar and smashing sound came from behind a door.

   She looked back at the sphinx, not knowing which was more terrifying for a while.

   "Do you remember how Josephine's ex-husband treated her?" Sphinx asked, as if asking a puzzle.

   "Open the door!"

  The man behind the door continued to growl and slap the door.

   "You're a woman," said the Sphinx, "or a monster?"

   She screamed and everything, the hallway and the sphinx disappeared.

   Then she sat up again, and both Padma and Bertin were gone, and she was actually still in her bedroom.

   "Ma'am." There was a knock at the door. "Mr. Langfenhorn has come with the police."

   "I'll be right there," said Georgiana, then lifted the quilt and left the bed.
