Maybe in the field of magic, Pierre is just an ordinary human with a slight understanding of fur. The weakest vampire will not put him in the eyes, but in terms of investigating intelligence and collecting historical secrets, Pierre said Being an absolute expert, his skills in this respect may be no worse than that of Nangong March: Humans are a curious race, and their weak strength will also urge spirit detectives to pay special attention to the collection of intelligence. Pierre is in Before coming to this village, he has investigated a lot of things, and in the two months of being trapped, he is also constantly studying the broken ancient books he brought, during which he investigated more than Hao Ren imagined. .
The noise in the village square is still going on. This long celebration does n’t know when it will end, and the strange villagers do n’t seem to worry about someone escaping this place, or that they have There are other ways to monitor the borders of the village. Until now, no one has come to the long house to check the situation. Hao Ren is a little surprised by this: "I thought they would monitor closely."
"Who to watch? You? Or me?" Pierre shook his head. "They have a regular pattern of action. Although there is no loophole in which they can escape, they can find some gaps according to the law. They are new to the village. People will be relatively accommodating. This is probably to prevent suspicion. After all, people who have just entered the village still have a considerable degree of self-will. If the villagers behave too abnormally, it will cause a series of problems. And as you stay in this village The time is getting longer and longer, you will subtly accept here, identify with this, become unwilling to leave, and even forget where you are from, where the villagers will use the rules of the village to restrain you, and you You will gladly accept. In the end, you become a complete walking dead, you think you belong here, or even born here, you will have a false memory, the content of this memory is that you were born and raised in this village, And is destined to be a lifetime-by that time all the foreign traces on your body will be corroded and you will wear their clothes and stand in their team Where, yes, you will become 'villagers', just as you see the day. "
Vivian was immediately surprised: "You said that those villagers who changed here are also changed?"
"If my investigations and guesses are correct, it should be so," Pierre nodded gently. "When I first came here, I found traces of the 'transformation' on several villagers. They There are Elvis tattoos on his body, but after a month, these traces have completely disappeared, and they have become a complete "village". I am afraid that the village chief of Winston also did so. "
Vivian touched his chin: "I remembered the allusion of being a tiger."
"There is only a circle of fences outside this village," Hao Ren looked up at the window. Because of the angle problem, he could just see the village boundary from here. The tattered low fence was clearly visible here, "You Have n’t tried going out? In theory, the villagers trapped here ca n’t leave this land, and your chances of breaking out should be quite large. ”
Pierre knew that Hao Ren would mention this. He smiled and shook his head: "Impossible, no one can cross that fence. The other side of the fence is still a village. I have tried many times. There is magic here. Effective, of course, you may be able to try. "
Hespe rides frowned: "I was normal when I came here three hundred years ago. What happened here?"
Pierre immediately looked around carefully, as if what he was about to say would attract some kind of evil spirit in the dark night. He lowered his voice and said in a mysterious tone: "According to my investigation, I am afraid It is related to the evil witchcraft ritual performed by an ancient family. "
"Family? Witchcraft ritual?" Hespe rides was stunned. She thought that what happened in this place should be caused by Hagrid Hercules and the ancient artifact, but she didn't expect it to involve other aspects. "You What did you find? "
"The earliest record was more than two hundred years ago," Pierre put down the window of the room and lit another spare oil lamp in the room, as if to disperse the dark atmosphere around him. The village is still a remote and poor ordinary village. Although it is hidden deep in the dense forest, there are no bad rumors, and the towns outside the forest have occasional communication with the village. Later, a poor noble family moved here. They are The French exiles who lived in exile, after losing power and status, left only wealth. They settled in a small town outside the forest. However, the family was quickly crowded out and hostile by the residents of the town. The lives of family members are beginning to be threatened ... "
Vivian interjected: "Why?"
"Because of the study of witchcraft, even the people who came back from home have brought a bad reputation to this family. At that time, there were not many such noble nobles, because their social status was violently turbulent, and their lives were not safe. The proper spiritual sustenance and strength, these records can not be found in the history, but I found evidence from many secret documents. The aristocratic nobleman who moved here is one who is quite addicted to witchcraft, and his family is more than other families. Sundown: They have been obsessed with this since generations ago. Unlike those who can only shout around the campfire with a fake magic book, they have some real magic knowledge.
“For this reason, this noble family, which has lost its dominant position, was rejected by the townspeople, and even risked being sent to the guillotine, so they could only move away from the town, and later between the town and the small village in the forest. Has built a house somewhere. "
"In the forest? My heart is really wide ..." Vivian raised an eyebrow, "What then?"
"There are multiple versions of what happened afterwards. Some say that this family summoned a devil in their basement. The devil destroyed the town outside the forest and cursed the village in the forest. It is said that their family patriarch became mad because of the study of witchcraft, and he became a devil, but my investigation is more inclined to the third statement: a small magical item with considerable power was originally hidden in the small village of Linzhong. The nobleman who had migrated here was directed at the magic item himself. He and his family deceived a hermit in the village, stole the artifact from the hermit, and tried to obtain the magic power of the artifact. The hermit found himself deceived Afterwards, he came alone to ask for an explanation, but the noble deceived him again, pretending to return the artifact, but poisoned in the wine. Finally, the weak hermit and the noble fought the witchcraft war, the noble was defeated, and when he was dying Ignite a fire, burn down my house, burn all my family members and want to die with the hermit, but the hermit escaped with the power of the artifact ... "
Pierre said that there was a pause here, and the next point was the key point: "The hermit who escaped from the fire returned to the village with an artifact, but died of poison at the entrance of the village. His anger before his death contaminated the piece. Magic items, so the magical power of the ancient times immediately spread out and cursed the entire village. I guess the hermit's obsession is 'no one can take anything from this land', so this obsession is distorted by the curse. , It turns out that no one can leave this land. The above is my investigation and speculation. "
After Pierre finished speaking, Hespe rides nodded with his arms: "I'm afraid your guess is indeed the one closest to the truth, but only a little is impossible-that" hermit "can not be ordinary human Get the guy. "
As soon as Pierre heard it, he realized that these people probably knew part of the truth. He opened his eyes wide: "Do you know who the" hermit "is in the story?"
"We came here to find him," said Hao Ren. "He was called Hagrid Hercules ."
Pierre responded for a few seconds, and finally it was a strange cry: "Ancient Greek mythology, the twelve trial Higer Hercules ?!"
Hespe rides whispered next to me: "To be honest, I think that the twelve trials were very unreasonable. It was too your mother to toss people, but it was a pity that Hera was mixing in the back. I was looking for Zeus. It ’s useless to reflect a few questions ... "
The strange look on Pierre ’s face seems to be the first time someone has heard this kind of ancient myth being blown in the first person, and it ’s not very suitable for them—although Hespe rides is not blown.
"But anyway, Hagrid Hercules is indeed unaccounted for now," Vivian touched his chin. "It seems that the crux of the problem is related to the family at that time. They may have touched something that should not be touched causing the artifact. Out of control. Pierre, do you know where the family ’s former residence is? "
"Outside the village," Pierre pointed in a certain direction. "Actually, it's not far from here. The ruins of the old house have been engulfed by the forest, but I guess the main body of the house should still be there. According to records, it was built with a lot of stone and ancient concrete. I know that the key to lifting the curse should be there, but unfortunately I ca n’t get out. "
"Let's go," Hao Ren stood up. "The twist of Space - Time here should not stop us."
"You better wait until dawn," Pierre said. "By then, there will be some changes in the village." (To be continued.)
