There is no snow near the bonfire in the square. The wet stone floor is full of garbage, ribbons, feathers, rags and dripping wax from torches. Two sleepy wild dogs are licking the remains of food, wearing rags.

Several bearded men were huddled next to the fire, snoring and exuding a suffocating stench.

At this time, Cheng Mo had to thank the cold weather and the heavy snow. He could imagine what a dirty environment he would have seen if the weather was nice. Cheng Mo sped up and crossed the square, chasing the alley where Dr. Bird's Beak disappeared.

passed.

The dark night and the snowflakes in the sky couldn't block Cheng Mo's sight. When he entered the alley, Cheng Mo saw a man wearing a beak doctor's clothes stumbling forward while holding on to the stone wall. His embarrassing movements made Cheng Mo suspicious.

.Because he heard the voice of the Kamikaze Chosen One, Cheng Mo did not catch up immediately, but kept a long distance away, relying on listening to the other party's messy footsteps, and quietly fell behind Doctor Bird's Beak.

At first, Dr. Bird's Beak was still running in a panic in the dark and gloomy alleyway. He didn't see Cheng Mo behind him, so he gradually slowed down and began to walk slowly while panting. It was obvious that he was very familiar with this place, and he couldn't do it without a torch.

He could find the way forward without hesitation. Soon Cheng Mo discovered that he was heading towards an ancient semi-Gothic and semi-Romanesque tower on the east corner of the town, because in the entire town, there was only one window at the top of this tower that still had windows.

The dim lights shine like a beacon guiding the way in the dark night.

Cheng Mo followed Dr. Birdbill through the winding and narrow streets, and finally arrived near the tower. At this time, the doctor's breathing had calmed down and his steps became lighter. Cheng Mo jumped on the roof of the stone house next to him and stood on the snow-covered roof.

On the ridge of the roof, one could see Doctor Bird's Beak hovering cautiously near the stone tower. He looked around for a long time before taking out a bunch of keys from his waxed black leather robe and walked to the door of the tower.

Sure enough, the other party's destination was this pointed rectangular stone building. Cheng Mo stared and noticed that there were no windows on the first floor of the building. The places where the windows should be were all shrines. There were stone sculptures placed in the shrines. The appearance of the stone sculptures was different.

It's not an angel or God, but rather an ancient Greek style. There are windows on the second and third floors, but they are not big and have iron bars on them. It doesn't look like a house, but like a prison.

This reminded Cheng Mo of the Disney cartoon "Rapunzel", but in the Grimm's Fairy Tales this story is called "Rapunzel". Compared to Disney, the Grimm's Fairy Tales are an out-and-out dark story. The lace witch imprisoned the beautiful Rapunzel.

The girl climbed up the tower along her hair every day to help Rapunzel check her body. This incident was discovered by the prince, so the prince also learned the witch's secret code, climbed up the tower along the hair of Rapunzel, and made Rapunzel pregnant before marriage.

, the witch who discovered the truth was furious. When the prince climbed up the tower, she cut off the long blond hair of Lettuce, and let the thorns at the bottom of the tower blind the prince...

In modern times, these are extremely avant-garde stories, and the large amount of ambiguous descriptions in them can be read as pornographic stories today. Of course, if you just read the dark Grimm fairy tales as pornographic stories, you will not be able to understand its profound reflections.

Under the threat of the Black Death in the Middle Ages, ordinary people's enthusiasm for indulgence and their deep-rooted hatred and fear of witches.

The sound of "squeak" interrupted Cheng Mo's thoughts. Seeing that Doctor Bird's Beak had opened the iron-covered door, Cheng Mo was sure that Doctor Bird's Beak posed little threat to him, so he calmly used teleportation and entered

We walked to the second floor of the tower. It was a small room filled with the smell of spices, which was much better than the smell on the street.

Cheng Mo couldn't help but take a deep breath. He turned his head and looked at the cabinet against the wall. In the open cabinet were countless bottles and cans, some made of metal, some made of glass, and some in glass bottles.

There was a liquid or powder with a Latin note on it. There was a wooden table next to the window. There was a book on the wooden table. The book was mimeographed and smelled of ink. Cheng Mo walked over.

After taking a look, it turned out to be a medical book with human bodies drawn on it. What surprised Cheng Mo was that the design of the pages was very similar to the manuscript.

Cheng Mo closed this folio print that looked like a publication. The cover said "fasciculus medicinae", which probably means a medical guide. In this era, if you can understand Latin, you can be said to be knowledgeable and able to read.

Probably equivalent to a top scholar. Cheng Mo flipped through this medical book curiously, and the illustrations in it actually showed the internal organs in great detail, and the organs also corresponded to the twelve signs of the zodiac...

At this time, Cheng Mo heard the sound of the stairs and heavy footsteps, followed by a low voice: "Ana, you ran out again? God bless you, nothing happened to you..." This was a soft voice.

But the stern female voice reminded Cheng Mo of the profession of doctors, who often speak in such a tone when giving injections to patients.

Cheng Mo walked to the door. He could hear the noises and voices downstairs without straining his ears. From the sounds, he could tell that Dr. Birdbill, who had just come in, was taking off his clothes. Moreover, her name "Anna" must be a woman.

"Mom, what could happen? I just quietly went to the square to take a look." Anna's soft and timid answer immediately verified Cheng Mo's guess.

"Oh my God, who asked you to wear this dress? Are you desperate for your life?"

"Didn't you say that wearing this dress can not only avoid the plague, but also see the God of Death?" Anna became excited, "Mom, do you know what I saw? I didn't see the God of Death, but I saw the angel, but he and

The picture in the book is different, there are no wings but black ones..."

"Pah!" A loud slap echoed in the room, "Shut up! Do you know how dangerous it is outside now? If you are found wearing these clothes, you will definitely be hanged at the city gate... Mine

God, you really don’t want your life.”

"Mom, no one dares to come out at night." The girl didn't cry after being slapped, but just defended in a stubborn voice.

"How do you know there is no one? I stood on the tower and saw the crusaders and monks arresting Catarina's family..."

"Aunt Katarina? Will they have anything going on?"

Before the long sigh ended, someone suddenly knocked on the door hard, and the sound of "bang bang" exploded throughout the tower. Anna's mother immediately whispered urgently: "Quick! Hide the clothes quickly..."

Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment, then carefully opened the door and walked out. The corridor was very short, and the stairs were just beside the door. There were candles placed on the rotating stone walls. Cheng Mo walked along the stone stairs that had hardly been polished and looked extremely rough.

Downstairs, there was a faint light in the foyer downstairs. A dignified-looking blond woman wearing blue coarse cloth opened the secret door on the floor, half-crouched and threw her waxed leather robe in.

Anna, who was standing aside, handed the beak mask in her arms to the blond woman and whispered: "Mom...be careful."

Cheng Mo concentrated and looked at the girl named Anna who was wearing a beak doctor's coat just now. She was not tall, but she was slim and tall, and she looked slender. Her skin was very white, and her cheeks were densely covered with some subtle brown spots, but she had a decent outline.

Delicate, not at all like the barbaric appearance of the Germans, but rather sweet and lovely like the Andalusians, somewhat like a girly version of Miranda Kerr.

The blond woman ignored Anna, and the constant knocking on the door was like a curse, mixed with a loud shout: "Delorme Lifter, open the door quickly..."

The blonde woman quickly threw the beak mask under the floor and loudly replied: "Here it comes!" She quickly closed the secret door, then signaled that she and Anna would lift the brown wooden table to the top of the secret door.

After the two pressed the heavy wooden table against the secret door, the blond woman arranged her clothes and hair, reached out and picked up the three-legged bronze oil lamp on the table and asked loudly: "Who is it?"

"It's me, Reverend Frank, the Lifter of Delorme."

Cheng Mo walked down the stairs and slowly walked up to Anna who was standing at the table. Anna, who had taken off Doctor Bird's clothes, could not see him at all at the moment. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and stared at him through his body.

At the door. Cheng Mo felt that he seemed to have found an interesting thread, and he turned to look at the door.

The blond woman opened the door a crack and asked: "Dear Reverend Frank, do you have any business with me at this late hour?"

"God bless you, Delorme Lifter!" Standing at the door, a fat kappa wearing a dark gray chinchilla fur and tightly wrapped up crossed himself on his chest and said hurriedly, "You have to hurry up.

, Lord Leohard’s wife is about to give birth, and now we need you to deliver the baby quickly.”

After hearing Priest Frank's words, the blond woman's tense body relaxed. Her hand holding the doorknob stopped trembling, and her tone became normal: "Okay, Sir Frank, wait a minute, I'll get the box!"

The blonde woman turned around and immediately turned back and asked, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"

"No, just hurry up. This damn weather is going to freeze me..."

"Right away." The blonde woman ran upstairs with her skirt in hand. Not long after, she wore a white linen cloak and carried a rattan box and walked downstairs. Before leaving the tower, she whispered in Anna's ear.

He said sternly: "Close the door tightly, don't run around, and stay at home."

The girl Anna nodded, watching her mother and Priest Frank walk into the wind and snow, closing the heavy wooden door covered with iron. She tied the door bolt, cheered loudly, and then ran to the table, laboriously closing the door.

The table was pushed aside.

Cheng Mo leaned against the wall and watched the girl Anna open the secret door, grab the oil lamp and twist and climb down. He also walked down the dark room. The strong smell of incense wafted from the fully enclosed room made of stone downstairs.

The smell was very familiar to Cheng Mo. He had smelled it before at the Porte Venve second-hand book market in Paris. It was probably incense mixed with hazel wood and musk. Cheng Mo sniffed and glanced at the darkroom. He felt that this place did not look like a room.

Instead, it looks like a tomb.

The girl Anna picked up the black leather robe and bird's beak mask that fell on the ground, muttered a few words heartbrokenly, took the leather robe and bird's beak mask to the stone workbench on the side and put them on it, then she held up the oil lamp to light it.

He picked up the two oil lamps mounted on the wall, found a piece of blue cloth and carefully wiped the black leather robe and bird's beak mask.

Cheng Mo looked around carefully by the candlelight and saw details that he had not seen in the darkness just now. In addition to Doctor Beak's attire, there were also seven system magic talismans, personal magic talismans, and black candles on the workbench.

A golden candlestick, a book with a black cover, a crystal ball and a portrait of Baphomet.

There is no doubt that this is a prop for Satanic rituals. Cheng Mo was shocked. He was a little surprised that the witch was not just a frame-up, but actually existed. He walked to the workbench, and the girl Anna was still wiping the bird's beak seriously.

Mask, he moved to the bookcase next to the workbench and searched for a while. Most of them were medical books and books on astrology. Other than that, there was nothing special.

When Cheng Mo was thinking about what to do next, he discovered that there was a book on the bottom shelf of the bookcase that surprised him. It was the one he couldn't read at all among the three books he got back from the Wangfumen used book market.

He understood the brown parchment scroll. Although he didn't recognize what was written in the book, he was deeply impressed by the Roman letters written on the cover. Cheng Mo reached out to pick it up without hesitation, but he didn't touch anything.

Cheng Mo stared at the parchment book and frowned, thinking that even if he picked it up, he still couldn't understand it, but since the book was here, it meant that someone here could understand it. He had to find a way to understand this book.

What is written in it may be the key to solving the mystery of Asgard.

Of course, it is also possible that it is just an ordinary book recording black magic.

In short, anything can happen. After all, everything seems like a clue, but in fact it is just a coincidence that has a high probability of happening. After all, he went to Wangfu because he knew that the ruins of Asgard were related to "occult science".

People are looking for relevant books, and there are not many classic works on occultism. There are only a few that have been handed down from ancient times. It is not surprising to see them in a witch's home in a medieval town.

However, all this related to "black disease" and "Doctor Bird's Beak" was beyond Cheng Mo's expectation. Cheng Mo walked around the stone house again, but found nothing more. Cheng Mo felt a little disappointed and left.

Returning to the workbench, this time he did not walk around the house, but across the middle of the house. When passing through the middle, he stepped on an obvious groove. He looked down and saw an inverse five carved on the stone floor.

Star.

Under the reverse pentagram, two words are engraved in thick Roman letters: You, pray.

The oil lamp was dancing on the wall, and Cheng Mo noticed his own black shadow reflected on the floor. It seemed to be imprisoned in a neat reverse pentagram, swaying slightly inside. He could not be seen by the people in the ruins.

He saw a shadow, but this strange phenomenon aroused Cheng Mo's thinking. He vaguely felt that even if there was no special content recorded in the book, he had uncovered a corner of history hidden deep in the fog.

Just as Cheng Mo was deep in thought, a harsh and dull scream rang out. Cheng Mo looked up and saw Anna, a girl wearing a beak mask, holding her sharp and long silver beak and looking at him through the red crystal lens.

The flickering flame of the oil lamp burned on the crystal lens, struggling not to extinguish it as if it was about to use up the last drop of oil. The girl Anna's legs were shaking, and Cheng Mo thought that if she hadn't been leaning on the workbench, she might not have been able to support the paralysis.

Falling to the ground...

"You...you...who are you?" Anna, the young girl, mustered up the courage, forced her dry throat to open, and asked in a trembling voice.

"Me?" Cheng Mo stood in the middle of the reverse pentagram with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Of course...Satan..."

Just as Cheng Mo was deep in thought, a harsh and dull scream rang out. Cheng Mo looked up and saw Anna, a girl wearing a beak mask, holding her sharp and long silver beak and looking at him through the red crystal lens.
