The second young master of the Dong family yelled out, Zhong Shu and Zhu Zi immediately jumped up, drew their swords from their waists, and the twelve zombies, as if they were triggered by the spring mechanism, made them one after another. A vigilant posture.

The red-haired girl was still very calm, as if she completely looked at the sword beside her as nothing, without showing any surprise.

Compared to the sharp blade that could kill her at any time, she obviously cared more about the soft and waxy white bread in her hand that was wrapped in fragrant custard filling.

The girl lowered her head, glanced reluctantly at the food in her hand, and then carefully put down the bite of bread, changed her posture, and sat upright in the enclosure.

The ravens hovering above the crowd stopped one by one on the tree behind the girl.

They all folded their wings, motionless, and made no sound. They set off against the thin red-haired girl, as solemn as a strange and weird postmodernist work of art.

The girl kept a sitting posture, and said a few words lowly.

Ji Lu's English is the best in all subjects, and he barely understands 70%.

The master and servant of Dong's house were confused, and didn't even understand a punctuation mark. They could only stare at Ji Lu and Ren Jianmo helplessly, hoping that someone could explain to them.

The girl's body is still weak, and after a few words, she has begun to pant, and she has to stop and take a breath.

"Are you a witch?"

Ji Lu took advantage of this effort and asked:

"If my common sense is okay, witches should be incompatible with the Holy Court? Since you are a witch, why do you act with the Holy Court army?"

His English pronunciation is relatively plastic, and modern English itself has a huge generation gap with the Old English of the "world". So when Ji Shuo talked, the red-haired girl frowned and listened attentively, and finally just shook her head slowly. , Reluctantly gave a somewhat ambiguous answer:

"I am not from the Holy Court."

Fortunately, there is a mental supernatural person in this group who can communicate with others without using words.

After a while, Ren Jianmo replaced the original owner and explained the identity of the red-haired girl.

The girl's name is Elena, fifteen years old this year, and she was born in a poor village on the edge of a forest in Northern Europe.

At that time, the power of the Holy See on the Western European continent was already very strong, and the trial of heresy became more severe every year.

Pastors, priests, and paladins will lead law enforcement officials in their jurisdictions to search for blasphemers in their eyes, including witches, wizards, astrologers, alchemists, pagans, overseas immigrants, and new scientists, etc.

As long as they fall into the hands of the clergy, these people are almost invariably framed on the torture rack, and then burned to a coke in the spit and cheers of the people.

Therefore, under the high pressure of the Holy See, anyone suspected of "heresy" can only stay away from the area covered by the core power of the Holy See and hide in the deserted countryside or cold and remote mountain forests where birds do not shit.

Jelena had no mother when she was very young, and her father was a perennial drunkard.

At a young age, the little girl had to find a way to keep herself alive, so she had to venture out into the dense forest behind the village every day to subsidize her family by picking wild products.

Because of this, one day, ten-year-old Ilena got lost in the forest and couldn't find a way back to the village until the sun went down.

It was the loss of this night that changed the little girl's life.

That night happened to be the night of the full moon, and Ilena, who was lost, stumbled into the monthly witch party in the dense forest late at night following the light of the fire.

Despite decades of persecution by the Holy See, the "heretics" have also developed some methods to protect themselves.

At that time, there were indeed a few witches and wizards on the Western European continent. They were born with talents for casting spells from their blood, and they also possessed many extraordinary abilities that ordinary people could hardly reach.

Little Elena also learned at the witch party that she ran away from home when she was a baby, and her missing mother is a real witch, and she is very powerful, and she has inheritance from her. From the blood of the mother's witch.

Jelena almost no hesitation in the dark blasphemy camp.

She haunts the witch gatherings in the dense forest every month, and learned from her predecessors how to collect spell materials, draw magic circles, how to communicate with animals, and finally how to use magic that only witches can master, and so on.

What surprised and envied other witches the most was the divination talent that Irina inherited from her mother.

Unlike the astrologers’ ability to predict world events, the rise and fall, and the ups and downs by observing the celestial phenomena, Jelena can accurately predict what will happen through a small crystal ball, a tarot card or even a tea cup with only a few tea froths left. Something.

Using the same method of divination, the results of the divination, whether it is accuracy or detail, can easily beat other witches at the party.

Five years later, the ten-year-old girl became a fifteen-year-old young girl, and the Holy Court also launched an expedition across the ocean in the name of "jihad".

Two months before the start of the Eastern Expedition, a team of Paladins came to Elena's village.

They had received a report from the villagers to hunt down the witches hiding nearby.

There is a holy artifact that seems to be able to sense dark energy in the paladin's hand, and can accurately distinguish those who have been exposed to witchcraft.

The soldiers spent ten days searching from house to house, and of course they caught Jelena.

In the makeshift shack that was used as a prison, the red-haired girl saw every companion who had appeared at the witch party, and many more, perhaps just ordinary people who had inadvertently touched the casting materials and props.

Everyone arrested has undergone cruel interrogation and inhuman punishment.

Half of the people were beaten to death during torture, while the remaining half, whether they were real witches or implicated innocents, were named heretics and put on the torture frame.

Except for Elena and the other two witches.

All three of them have some special talents, and the Holy Court believes that their abilities will be useful in the Eastern Campaign.

So Elena, who was dying of torture by the prisoner, was taken by the team of Paladins to the holy capital she had never set foot in.

But as a witch, she fell into the hands of the holy court, who was famous for being extremely cruel to heresy, and she couldn't live well even if she was immortal.

Jelena never had the other two witches.

Her shoulder was pierced by a chain, and she was imprisoned in a box, and then she was crushed under the papal coffin of the "Holy Relic", running around with the Paladin team every day.

The box is extremely small. Even a girl with a petite figure and frail body can only lie curled up in a dark iron container. The only light that can be seen is leaking from the four-corner holes that serve as vents. Into the sun.

No one helped her deal with her shoulder injury, and she was rubbed with chains every day, and she had already started to fester and become inflamed.

But as a valuable tool, the Paladins would not let her die easily due to inflammation.

Every day, Irina was briefly released from the box by the soldiers, eating a little food, drinking a few sips of water, and pouring a bowl of hanging medicinal soup.

In contrast, as the price of survival, the girl must perform divination in accordance with the requirements of the paladin and inform them of the result without any difference...

"I see!"

Hearing this, the Second Young Master Dong made a fist with one hand and knocked it on his knee.

"No wonder that no matter which way we go, those Xiyi people can catch up!"

As he said, he pointed at the red-haired girl.

"It turns out that you are using the method of divination to inform them of the news!"

Dong Jing guessed right.

Ever since the Holy Court decided to eradicate Dong's family and his party anyway, it has been making full use of Ilena's ability to let her use divination to find the whereabouts of Dong Jing and others.

Elena's bloodline talent is extremely strong, and she can also synesthesize with animals such as crows, bats, cats, snakes, and rats. When the two are combined with each other, the results of fortune-telling are indeed perfect.

Previously, the second master of the Dong family speculated that the Holy Palace Army had some way to track where they were, which was in fact both right and not completely right.

Because Jelena does not rely on tracking, on the contrary, she can accurately figure out where the Dong family and the group will appear at a certain moment in the future.

Therefore, no matter how careful and cautious they are, no matter how they choose to walk around the wild mountains and ridges with complex terrain and sparsely populated areas, it is impossible to get rid of chasing soldiers.

After listening to Ren Jianmo's retelling of the girl's identity, the scene fell into silence for a while.

The masters and servants of the Dong family knew nothing about Xiyi's history, and they grew up in a multi-god and multi-belief country. They really didn't understand the bizarre thinking mode of Yi people who were forced to die forever in order to believe in which god.

However, through Ren Jianmo's narration, they could generally feel that the girl in front of him and the group of Xiyi invaders were indeed not the same group.

Although she was once forced to do things for the Paladins, and her divination ability did cause them a huge trouble, but in the final analysis, the girl had to do it only to survive under the enemy's hands.

"Even so..."

Dong Jing pursed his mouth, muttered and muttered:

"I don't want to take her..."

As he said, he raised his head and saw that Jelena took advantage of this opportunity to grab the bread and gobbled it up again. Suddenly, he fell out of breath and shouted:

"Besides, who knows if those red-haired devils did anything to her, such as if they betrayed, they would die on the spot!"

The second youngest of the Dong family said that in order to make the servants loyal, their Dong family would still punish the servants!

"If you take her, in case she gets some moths on the road..."

Ren Jian silently nodded, feeling that Dong Jing's remarks made sense.

As a result, the pupil of his right eye once again turned into a light golden amber, forcing Jelena, who was holding the bread in his mouth, to face his eyes.

After a while, Ren Dameiren looked away and smiled slightly.

"There is nothing wrong with this girl."

He paused, then added:

"Furthermore, she said she can help us get rid of the chase of the Holy Court."
