Chapter 201 The Underground Church
The bitter cold wind whistled around the low stone house, causing a burst of whimpering screams, and several lonely and dilapidated wooden buildings made a squeak of begging for mercy under the pressure of the strong wind.''
The sky is like the theme song of this world, poverty, ignorance, barbarity, and filth are floating on it. The dark night covers the refugee camp-like port town, and countless ragged wanderers are frozen to death on the streets.
The occasional horse sniffing sound mixed with stepping sounds alarmed the figures that were sneaking in the shadows. They quickly slipped into the shadows like frightened rabbits.
When the patrol guards passed by here without seeing the bodies on the ground, they once again appeared quietly in every corner.
The targets of these people are drunk alone or some unlucky shop, but there are two different shadows. They slowly turned into an alley and stopped in front of a tightly closed wooden door.
This is an inconspicuous single-story stone house, but if you look closely, you will find that the texture of the house is extremely hard, no less than that of the city walls on the border.
The walls made of black stones are stained with some suspicious dark red marks. The semicircular wooden door made of wooden strips and iron sheets does not leave any gaps, as if they want to separate the inside and outside of the stone house into two worlds.
"Is it here?" The two men in black cloak stood in front of the door, and one of them asked, and when they heard carefully, it was Yi Xiao's voice.
"Yes, there are other secret passages below, I haven't found it, but this priceless treasure is very difficult to transfer. So they shouldn't run away." The other person was naturally Levine, his tone was very similar to the old housekeeper of the lord. It was completely different from the timid voice at the beginning.
Since Levin studied in the meditation pot for a week, he seemed to have begun to adapt to the new identity of the housekeeper. Whether it is the way of doing things or the habit of life, he has become a different person, and has begun to move closer to the housekeeper. This has made Yi Xiao disperse his strange scientific research spirit, and whether the meditation pot will have an impact on people's thinking.
Both of them were wearing cloaks, and Yi Xiao blessed the Warm Curse and the Iron Armor Curse. Under Levin's cloak was also a lightweight mail with modern craftsmanship.
At the same time, in order to prevent people from being recognized, both of them wore the masks of the Death Eater members, because Yi Xiao planned to stay for a while after this incident.
Of course, the masks made by Yi Xiao are much better than those of the Death Eater. They will not only not affect their vision, but will not be shot down.
Such a big effort is naturally for the priceless treasure of the Holy See. Although Yi Xiao was not very interested in wealth, there was no other supernatural power in this world except for the portrait of Catherine, as if it had all disappeared. While Yi Xiao was confused, he could only let go of any suspicious clue.
If it is just a vampire diary, then the world is probably in a low-demon state like the original earth, a vampire race. It cannot be much higher.
Vampire...Witch...If nothing unexpected happens, this will be Yi Xiao's next target. Since the magic materials cannot be supplemented for the time being, Yi Xiao will not wait. Apart from the pursuit of the Ministry of Magic on the Thames, Yi Xiao has not had any interaction with other wizards.
Yi Xiao would not stop chasing magic because it made him very interesting.
But Yi Xiao would not be careless because of a low-demon world. He would not forget how Sirius died.
"The hole of Alaho opened." Yi Xiao held the old wand and gently clicked on the door lock. The wooden door slowly separated a gap with Yi Xiao's spell.
Behind the gate, it was not a warm room, but a black corridor, with spiral stairs leading to the ground, seemingly unsightly.
Yi Xiao and Levin had learned about the information, so they were not surprised by this situation. Yi Xiao shook his cloak and "follow me."
The two of them went down the stairs, and soon the road turned into a straight corridor. No one saw it along the way, only a few torches burning on the walls.
According to information learned by Levine, this is a secret underground courthouse of the church. The two passed by one of the back doors. As for why the so-called priceless treasure was brought to the courthouse, Levine had no way to infer.
After walking a distance, there were faint crying and wailing sounds coming. Yi Xiao turned his head and listened carefully, and some women moaned in pain.
That hysterical wail can imagine what kind of inhuman torture they are suffering. This is a dark old Europe, an era where demons and angels coexist.
"It's coming soon." Yi Xiao said with a plain expression. As long as there is someone, he will always ask about the location of the treasure.
"Sir." Levin suddenly called out, as if he had something to say.
"What's the matter?" The two of them kept walking, and they seemed to have a tacit understanding. In fact, as long as one of them did not die, Yi Xiao's curse would be permanently effective. Levin would not have any idea of betraying him, so Yi Xiao was very relieved.
"I...I..." Levin stammered at a loss. This was a situation that had never happened since he adapted to the new identity of the housekeeper.
Although Yi Xiao had no soul before, he studied people's hearts a lot, "Are you nervous?" Yi Xiao seemed to see Levin again, who was a little afraid and a little clever at that time.
Did his concern for his younger brother awaken him?
"Yes...yes." Levin took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Yi Xiao glanced at him and asked casually, "Is it because of your brother?"
"Yes sir." Levin lowered his head and followed Yi Xiao, his voice low.
"This is the Inquisition. Through the books I gave you, you should know what this place is." Yi Xiao walked in front, his voice floating around, "If your brother is here, he wouldn't have survived, or...he is not here."
"I understand." Levin whispered, "If...I mean if, can you... avenge me?"
Yi Xiao didn't even look back this time, "No problem." He said calmly.
"Thank you." The conversation between the two was very short. Every butler had to understand his master's style, otherwise he would lose his job.
Finally, as the corridor became deeper and deeper, the screams of pain became more and more harsh, causing Levine to have goose bumps. After turning a corner, the end of the corridor emitted a bright light.
As soon as the tunnel came out, there were no longer cold stone walls on both sides, but prisons next to each other, closed with solid wooden doors, and torches were inserted next to each prison, illuminating the place very clearly.
Yi Xiao looked in through the gap in the wooden door, some were empty, and some were lying inside, dying women covered in blood.
However, some people were imprisoned in cages who had not been tortured. When these people saw two masked strangers breaking in, they did not pounce on them and begged them to let them go out, but instead shivered in the corner and shivered.
Soon, the abnormal movements in the prison made the guards guarding nearby alert. A strong man with a big shoulder and round waist walked from the other side with a whip wrapped around his waist, and he was in the same face with Yi Xiao.
Although the world is generally very backward and even a little ignorant, not everyone is like this. Obviously, people with higher status will receive much more information than those civilians who are struggling on the line of food and clothing. They know more and think more complicatedly.
For example, if this guard has seen more people in the world, he will naturally not make a fuss. He is far less frightened than Levine when he saw Yi Xiao.
When he found two invaders with black capes with weird masks, he was shocked, but he was not panicked. His first reaction was to touch the scimitar on the right and then call his companions.
"What are you?" He was about to yell when a green light flashed quickly in Yi Xiao's hand, choking back the second half of his words. The guardian twitched and fell softly to the ground. Unfortunately, he could never finish the rest of the words.
