Release that Witch - Chapter 367
[Chapter 165]
Pei Luo yawned and sat up from the bed, his upper body immediately felt a chill.
If possible, he hopes to stay in bed all the time, not only warm, but also accompanied by Shirley.
“Don’t sleep any longer?” The woman beside him turned over and murmured sleepily, “It’s still early?”
He leaned down and kissed the other person’s forehead – Shirley’s brown hair Soft and curly, the skin is as smooth as a baby, and there are a pair of lovely big eyes.
It was at the Long Opera House that he first met her, and he was firmly attracted by these eyes almost as soon as he met her.
“It should be almost noon, I have to go downstairs to see if there is any business to deal with,” Pei Luo whispered, “If you don’t want to wake up, you can continue to sleep, and I will ask the servant to deliver the lunch to the bedroom later ”
“But I want you to stay with me,” Shirley stretched her arms over and put her arms around his waist, “It’s snowing outside anyway, so there’s nothing I can do.”
This sentence is true.
, since the evil moon came, the whole city suddenly quieted down, the theater opened once a week, all the merchants in the market were evacuated, and the taverns closed their doors.
If you walk on the street during the day, you may even think it is a ghost city.
So… just sleep for a while, shall we?
After chasing Shirley for nearly a year, now that he finally got his wish, Pei Luo was really reluctant to leave.
Exhausted by the pleasure of last night, I have now returned to a state of energy, and after lunch, I may have another lingering time.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the bedroom.
“Master Peiluo, there is a blue letter.”
He was startled, then immediately turned over and got off the bed, picked up the robe that was thrown on the ground, and put it on his body, “I’ll be right there.” “My lord
?” Xue Li Er groaned.
“Wait for me later,” Pei Luo hurriedly fastened his belt and left the bedroom.
After a while, he returned to the room and climbed into the bed again, with a letter in a blue envelope in his hand.
“What is this, who wrote it to you?” The woman was basically awake at this time, she yawned, and sat up next to Pei Luo.
“From Border Town,” the latter replied, “it should be a letter from His Royal Highness.”
Opening the cover and pulling out the letter paper, he quickly scanned the contents of the letter, his brows furrowed, “Your Highness asked I’ll go to Border Town.”
“Now?” Shirley asked in surprise, “Are you going in this weather?”
“Well, there must be something important.” Pei Luo sighed, “I Prepare your luggage later and set off in the afternoon. You go home first, and I will look for you when I come back.” He couldn’t help but think of a year ago, when he went to Border Town by boat in the wind and snow, for Duke Lane’s warning to Longsong Fortress.
But now, the reason why he went to that barren land was because of a letter from the lord of the small town, which made Peiluo lament the impermanence of fate.
“Can’t you pretend you didn’t see it?” She said a little displeased, “Even if he captured Longsong Fortress, you are the actual person in charge of the fortress. Even if it is the king’s order, you don’t have to execute it immediately, right? If it was
the
Duke, he would indeed do this, but Pei Luo knew the temper of the fourth prince well, he patted the other’s head pamperingly, “That’s not the same, the king may not be able to control the Western Region, but His Royal Highness Roland can …He is not only the lord of Border Town, but also the lord of the entire Western Territory.”
…
After entering the evil moon, Longsong Fortress really didn’t have too many official duties to deal with, so he simply handed over some tasks to his subordinates and, by the way, sent his father, Count Hermon Pulled to the castle to sit in charge, Pei Luo left the castle.
Unlike the last time when only one assistant was following him, this time he was on the “Lionheart” dedicated to the Duke. There were more than ten servants and apprentices each, plus two family knights, which can be called a huge momentum.
Just as he passed through the outer city block and headed to the fortress dock, the noise from the corner of the street attracted Pei Luo’s attention.
I saw a dozen or so people gathered around, as if they were watching something. The group of people dressed up should be civilians, probably the surrounding residents who were attracted by the noise. Occasionally, there would be a sentence or two in the circle, such as “the devil !” “Hang her!” Such a sharp roar.
With a thought in his heart, Pei Luo said to the knights
beside him, “Go and have a look. If it’s an ordinary dispute, let them go back to the house.
”
, everyone quickly dispersed.
He finally brought back a woman and two children, one of whom still had a hemp rope around his neck.
“What’s going on here?”
“My lord,” the woman threw herself at Pei Luo’s feet, “kill her quickly! She has degenerated into a witch!”
This word made Pei Luo slightly stunned, “Witch?” He shifted his gaze to the other two, and the taller boy immediately stood in front of the girl, making a vicious look that would pounce on him at any time, but his face was bruised and purple, obviously he had been beaten badly just now. “She’s not the devil’s minion at all. It’s been played in dramas. There are good and bad witches. Why do you deal with her?”
“Are you sure she’s a witch?” Pei Luo ignored the boy and continued to ask the woman.
“That’s right, my lord, don’t be fooled by the performances in the theater. If the church is still there, they will not tolerate their nonsense on the stage. This beast is also a little devil, and I am punishing her for the church, my lord. Hurry up and strangle her, so that the breath of hell will not spread to Changge City!”
“Get to the point!” he scolded.
After the other party chattered endlessly, Pei Luo finally figured out the cause and effect.
It turned out that after the church was burned down by Timothy, she and some other believers spontaneously organized and continued to preside over preaching and praying in the outer city, waiting for the Holy City of Hermes to send out new priests to build the church in the west.
As for the situation this time, it was purely a coincidence that the girl was caught by her when she was using her ability to remove snow from the residents’ roofs, and that’s how the scene I saw before happened.
In the narration, the women also repeatedly complained about the absurdity of what was taught in primary education and the upside-down performances in the theater, so that the nearby onlookers only dared to grab the boy, but few people were willing to help themselves hang this abominable devil. Before doing this, her body should have been hung under the roof beams… These words full of hatred made Pei Luo’s brows twitch.
“Take her back and interrogate her carefully,” he ordered the knight. “This time you stay in the fortress. When I come back, I hope to see that all believers related to her have been imprisoned.” ”
What…no! My lord, how could you—” Before the woman could finish speaking, the knight slapped her in the stomach in protest.

“Are you really a witch?” Then Pei Luo looked at the terrified little girl, “Show me.” The
latter knelt softly on the ground without any reaction.
Pei Luo shook his head, and repeated with a raised voice, “If you can prove that you are a real witch, I can let you go.”
After a while, the girl timidly stretched her hands into the snow, and soon Soon, the nearly palm-thick snow gradually turned into flowing ice water.
“I see,” Pei Luo nodded, “Come with me.”
“Go?” The other party raised his head, “Where are you going?”
“A place suitable for witches to live in.” He signaled his servants to pick up the girl and continue towards the pier .
“Let her down, you liar! You promised to let her go!” The boy wanted to rush up, but was stopped by several other servants, and the shouts gradually disappeared behind his head.
