Chapter 44 Trouble in Moonlight Town
Moonlight Town, a beautiful town nestled in a wetland forest.
It is peaceful and peaceful. The mist extending from the wetland makes it like a fairyland. Whenever the moon rises, the clear spring water in the center of the town reflects the moon shadow. The silver moonlight passes through the wetland mist, like a dream and beautiful. Moonlight Town is named after this.
Luo Lin arrived in the town in the afternoon. He rode a date horse, wearing a cold forged light steel mail, carrying a magic shield, and a newly bought thick steel one-handed heavy sword with his waist. With excellent equipment and strong figure, no one would suspect that he was a powerful warrior.
When he walked outside the town, a shrill scream suddenly came from the town. The sound pierced the fog and filled with indescribable pain.
Immediately afterwards, another tragic cry came from the town. After a while, a large wave of town people came out of the town, and it seemed that they were disbanded from a party.
In the crowd, some people sighed and some were crying, but more people were silent. Everyone's face was covered with a layer of dark clouds. From them, there was no trace of the tranquility and peace of Moonlight Town.
Luo Lin drove his horse to the side of the road. When a middle-aged man who was sighing walked by, he asked, "Uncle, is there something happened in the town?"
The middle-aged man looked up at Luo Lin, and saw that he was covered in exquisite equipment and riding a horse, with a gentle expression and polite words, and he felt more respect in his heart. He bowed to Luo Lin a little and sighed, "Oh, it's a curse, the curse of the black witch. Many people have been turned into bloodthirsty werewolf."
"That's just now?"
"The bishop of the church executed a werewolf. He was originally the hunter of Iva in the town. Alas~ Iva's family will have a hard time in the future. His family still has three children."
"Oh, thank you uncle."
"No." The middle-aged man left with a sigh.
Luo Lin continued to move forward, thinking about the middle-aged man's words, and news about Moonlight Town came out in his mind.
In the game of his previous life, he also came to Moonlight Town, but he did not come here specifically, but passed by in a hurry. At that time, he saw that a large group of werewolf were attacking the town, and the priest in the town was leading the militia to resist the werewolf attack, so he even stepped forward to help.
Wait... Rollin remembered the name of the pastor. Yes, it seemed to be Cornwalls, that was the pastor Cornwall. He was in a church in the dock area before, so how could he come to Moonlight Town? Or, the two of them just had the same names?
It was very simple to figure it out, just go and take a look. Luo Lin drove his horse to the church in the center of the town.
The town is not big. In a few minutes, Luolin arrived at the square in the center of the town. In the middle is the clear moonlight spring. Not far from the spring water, it is the town church. At the entrance of the church, there is a wooden chondred guillotine.
At this time, the guillotine was covered with blood, a humanoid body covered with black hair fell to one side, and his head fell to the other side. This head was almost no different from the wolf in the forest. Its long sniff, sharp teeth, and erect ears must be the werewolf who was executed just now.
Several old men who were covered with gray cloth and were hunched in their bodies were cleaning up the corpse. There was another person next to him who was pouring holy water on the ground, silently speaking, as if praying.
The man was wearing a gray cloth robe that was commonly used by the low-level holy light priest, with a focused and heavy expression. After he finished sprinkling the holy water, he looked at the corpse on the ground and sighed deeply.
Rollin could feel the helplessness in this sigh, and he also recognized this person. It was Cornwas, who was still in the dock area half a month ago, and also the future Archbishop of the Holy Eyebrow.
He looked much different, darker, thinner, less philanthropic, and more compassionate.
Rollin turned over and dismounted, led the horse forward, and shouted, "Pastor."
Cornwas looked up at Rollin, then gave a priest's greeting: "Soldier, is there anything wrong?"
Rowlin smiled: "You don't recognize me anymore, I'm Rowlin."
"Rolin?" Cornwas looked at the ingenious warrior in front of him carefully and could not remember who Rollin was. Among the people he knew, there seemed to be no warrior named Rollin. There was one of the same name, but that was just an orphan named Rollin, and the two of them didn't even get along.
Seeing that Cornwas did not recognize him, Rollin reminded: "Pastor, I had asked you for my adoptive father Ames some time ago. Do you still remember it in the dock area?"
"But..." Cornwas looked at Rollin carefully, and slowly, he realized the similarities between the two, especially their eyes, which were almost exactly the same, and the firm light did not change at all: "But aren't you working for people at the dock?"
He finally recognized Rollin and was incredible about the change in this young man.
"I have some strange encounters. Now, I am a little powerful warrior." Rollin looked at the werewolf corpse that had not been moved away: "Pastor, you seem to be in some trouble. I may be able to help."
Cornwas' eyes lit up, but in the end he shook his head: "No, you won't be her opponent. The black witch in the forest is cunning and powerful, and she is good at using curses. You can't help me."
"Then how do you know it was the black witch?" Rollin asked.
"A hunter saw her with the werewolf. The werewolf would not attack her. She would also speak some strange language. I think this should be an evil spell." Cornwas said, and he walked towards the town church as he said: "Come in, friend, come and have a drink of the town's specialty Qingquan."
Cornwas is indeed very different from the past. He has become much more peaceful, but despite this, Rollin does not agree with his inference about the Black Witch.
He followed Cornwas into the church: "Pastor, I have to say that your conclusion is a bit hasty. Analyzing from a purely rational point of view alone, your argument is not enough to draw the conclusion of the Black Witch."
"Ha~" Cornwas sneered and looked at Rollin: "I haven't seen you for a while, but you've become more literary. Since you think so, what's your conclusion?"
Even if a person's nature changes, it will not change so quickly. Cornwas still retains narrow class prejudice. He instinctively believed that Rollin, who was a dock worker, could not have any clever insights.
This prejudice made him feel disdainful and he couldn't listen to Rollin's words at all.
"It is impossible to draw conclusions. Just the few signs seen by the hunters can't get any positive conclusions, and more investigation is needed." Luo Lin said.
"Oh, who will investigate? Are you?" Cornwas was a little disdainful. Despite this, he still brought Rollin a cup of clear spring, which was much better than the arrogant expression in the past.
Luo Lin took a sip of spring water, and the sweet spring water flowed down his throat, which made people suddenly shocked and their whole body felt refreshed. Most of the fatigue of rushing to the road for a day was gone. This Moonlight Spring is indeed well-known.
"Yes. It's just a small task." Rollin nodded, and then said, "Pastor, can I stay here for one night tonight."
"Of course. The kind God never rejects his people." Cornwas agreed, but he still kindly advised: "Don't go to the forest. It's not easy for you to get to this point, and I don't think you have enough ability to deal with danger. I have reported the situation here to the Cathedral of Vendome, and someone will come to support you soon."
Half a month ago, the other party was weak and congenital inadequate. Even if he is better now, how many abilities can he have?
Rollin smiled and said, "Pastor, I have decided. It is my honor to be able to serve the God of kindness."
"Then let it go." The other party was so determined, so Cornwas stopped persuading him.
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice rang out in Luo Lin's mind.
