Chapter 246 5.38 Everyone Died Suddenly
"Sir, please help us!"
"Yes, sir, my husband is the backbone of our family of four! This autumn, my two sons died, and only the elderly master can work. If he is gone, how can we live?"
"Yes, sir, my two dishwashers have disappeared!"
"You must help us find them, Bishop!"
In the meeting hall of Wind's End Castle, Jerome was on the left and Wenzov was on the right. The two looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how such a thing could happen in this city.
In the severe winter with a temperature as low as minus 30 degrees, more than 20 residents "ran away from home" from their warm houses at midnight and did not return all night!
What's even more exaggerated is that Katya led the Winged Guards to search the city for a whole day, but didn't find a single ghost.
After interrogating most of the residents who "noticed something unusual last night", only the Viking Princess Meherantine said that she fell into a coma at some point, and the next morning, she found that the group of East Continent merchants from the "Izumo Trading Company" had disappeared.
At this time, Jerome naturally didn't know that Qinghe Zhenren, who almost killed him and Lawrence two months ago, was from the "Izumo Trading Company". Therefore, in their opinion, even if such a large Izumo Trading Company chose to return in this cold winter, they would not choose to take away more than 30 Viking civilians.
The problem facing the two of them at this time is: more than 20 living people, no one is seen alive, and no body is found dead.
Where did these people go?
"Have you found any abnormal behavior of your lost relatives in recent years, such as leaving in the middle of the night, or communicating too much with some secret people?"
As a member of the Holy Lord, Jerome naturally knew that the Holy Bishop's biggest enemy at this time was the Zoroastrianism hidden underneath.
In the British Isles, the underground activities of the "Zoroastrianism" are very rampant.
Most of the ordinary farmers who disappeared after leaving in the middle of the night were participating in the secret gathering of the "Zoroastrianism" and were executed in the Fire Sacrifice Field for violating the regulations or uneven distribution of spoils.
But that was prosperous and civilized England after all.
Did the Zoroastrianism Church choose to open the Fire Sacrifice Field in the cold peninsula ruled by the Vikings?
Jerome had considerable doubts about this question.
However, Wenzof on the opposite side secretly glanced at Sophie, who was sitting at the feet of the two and holding a fur toy. Before Loki left, he was the only one in the entire Wind's End who knew that Sophie's body was still inhabited by an old monster from 2,000 years ago.
All the things that happened at this time, and then connected to the fact that this little girl had been skipping classes for no reason recently and not returning home at night
The old housekeeper subconsciously thought that this mysterious case of multiple disappearances must have some connection with this little girl and the old monster in her body!
Killing people is not a "character problem" for a Viking. If a 5-year-old child can take up arms to defend the village, quite a few Viking parents will even set up two tables to celebrate that their children are the reincarnation of gods.
But in one night, more than 20 residents of Storm's End melted silently into the air. This feat is beyond the work of a little girl no matter how you look at it.
Although the old housekeeper wanted to hold Sophie's hand and ask what happened, he still remembered what Loki said before he left.
"No matter what Sophie did, never, never"
"Never anger the devil hidden in her body!"
Forget it, anyway, it's only a few days away from the agreed return deadline of the village chief. When he comes back, let him solve this mess.
At Wenzof's feet, Sophie was still playing with the puppet in her hand boredly.
The little girl originally thought that she could play comfortably with her friends after an exam, but she never expected that she would have to come to the meeting hall every morning to "watch" how to become a lord.
This is even more boring than going to class.
Especially after Dad occupied this new castle,
"Little sister, do you regret killing these people?"
Looking back at Nefertiti in her sea of consciousness, Sophie shook her head gently.
"My father once said that if we don't get rid of these dangers today, then these dangers will get rid of us sooner or later."
"Big sister, you have lived for so long, you must have killed many, many people.
Have you ever felt regret?"
Nefertiti blinked, and was surprised to find that she seemed to have forgotten what "regret" felt like at the age of 2,000.
But this is normal. Her biological father "Amenophis III" once told her that if she wanted to become an immortal pharaoh, she must forget this feeling.
Otherwise, in the eternal life, it will not be time that will destroy her, but herself.
Closing her eyes, she fell into long memories.
At first, her excuse for killing was to survive.
For the immortal Egyptian pharaoh with many wives and concubines, it is normal to give birth to hundreds of blood descendants.
The children of the Pharaohs have to accept the cruel struggle for survival since they are born.
This battle includes themselves, the other party, and even their own mother and the other party's mother.
From the moment a baby has memory, the first thing he needs to think about is how to get rid of his blood brothers and sisters.
This is what the earth really looked like in 1300 BC.
This is the family of the Egyptian Pharaohs,
and so is the family of the foreign gods in the Greek temple.
This is how Nefertiti spent her childhood. After a bloody and cruel struggle, the loser died, and the winner continued to pursue immortality. After killing enough relatives, she began to sit in a high position and slaughter foreigners.
At this point, she could no longer remember how many people died at her hands.
When the foreigners in the city were basically eliminated through her bloody suppression, Nefertiti's husband "Akhenaton" began to go out to fight. She did not follow him. This was not because she was tired of killing, but such a large kingdom always needed a pharaoh to sit in the rear.
In her twenties, Nefertiti began to slaughter the rebels, lurkers, and conspiracy theorists in the city.
Now Sophie asked her if she had any regrets.
To be honest, it seems that there is no regret.
But the numbness and fatigue from the depths of the soul are real.
Looking at the pure eyes of the 5-year-old girl, she knew that Sophie would definitely take this path again.
Because Nefertiti had already seen that her father, the man named Loki Starrag, was a lord who was much crazier than herself.
At the age of 20, he lived in such a remote place, and he had already begun to provoke these lizard bastards lurking in human society.
His life would definitely not be too smooth.
