Chapter 1893 Steel Virgins XI
At the same time, somewhere in the southwest of France.
A wild wolf shuttles through the forest. It has an orange glow in its eyes, and while driving, it looks at the forest that is getting into the night. Its purpose is not this forest, the forest is just a process before it achieves its purpose. Its real purpose is to be in close proximity to a village in the forest and another town farther away.
The speed of this wolf is amazing, and it can fly quickly and without obstacles in the dense jungle. It crossed the forest in a few minutes and came to the edge of the village. The night is getting darker, and the poor and backward French village is filled with fog. The residents here are sleeping early, because people are convinced that the night is a monster and a ghost. Only when they hide in their small brick houses, they can avoid it. Attacked by the monsters.
These human thoughts may be right. This fine wolf may be a good example of the monsters and monsters that people fear. Even if the wolf itself is not malicious, if humans encounter such a wild wolf with eyes shining at night, I am afraid that it will be scared.
The wolf must have known this, so it did not intend to alarm the humans in the village. It simply integrates its own figure into the night, quietly lurking in the village and inquiring about various information. It easily bypassed the farmer's sight and reached the backyard of a house. It puts its ears on the wall and through a slightly leaky stone wall, it can clearly hear the conversations of the people in the house.
"This year's crops have failed." Someone complained.
"The drought lasted for a long time. I really hope that God can have a long eye, at least a few drops of rain." Another person complained.
"In this way, the days will not go on."
"It's all good things that the British cockroaches made. If there is no such war, we don't have to live in such a small place."
"Hey! Don't talk nonsense! It's bad if you hear it from the British! Do you want to die?"
The complaints of the farmers continued, one sentence after another. But this is not the intelligence that the wolf wants to inquire. They are meaningless. After listening to a few words, the wolf left the backyard of the village house and continued on.
In order to find out more information, it is not acceptable to not enter more people in towns.
Thinking so, the wolf continued to sneak along the edge of the village. The village is just an extension of the town. As long as you pass through this suburb, the wolf can enter the relatively prosperous streets of the town. The information that can be overheard from the town is much more meaningful than the complaints of the farmers in this village.
But, of course, the closer it is to densely populated areas, the tighter the human guards are, and the greater the risk of stealth. The patrolling knights can already be seen on the edge of the town. If you face these knights in front, the wolf can hardly fight back and can only sit still. It can't beat the knights who hold the weapons. Even if they want to escape, the knights riding the horse will catch up with it and then use a long gun to run through it. Once it is discovered, it is finished, so it can only sneak more carefully.
Fortunately, the world's technological level (photon civilization level) is very backward, even the lighting system in the town is just the simplest torch. There is definitely no street light that is illuminated by electricity. In the town, a lot of wooden stakes are used to hang the plate high, and the lamp oil is added to it, which can continue to burn for one night. But after all, the lamp oil is extracted from the animal's oil and fat. It is a consumable item. The quantity is limited. It is impossible to illuminate the whole street with a dense fire plate. Therefore, the "street light" in this town is just every A tree 30 feet apart, barely illuminating the marble-built streets by the less bright lights between them.
There is still a dark interval between the lights, which gives the wolf a chance to sprint back and forth in the dark areas. It sneaked through the streets of the town while avoiding the patrols by the dimness of the town. Every time I reached a bright area where it couldn't pass, the wolf ran with the fastest speed and the smallest possible footsteps. Although its figure appears under the light, it is only a moment, and there are not many personal classes that will recognize it. People even think that this is just some sort of stray dog ​​and won't care.
At the risk of being killed, the town is in the town. The purpose of the wolf trip is to have several bars in the town. In the evening, the bar is filled with people of all shapes, and in their words, the information will be revealed. This wolf can only know the various illusions that have occurred in this country by eavesdropping on intelligence. For the wolf who is eager to find his companion, this is the most effective and quick way to achieve its goal.
Of course, it is obviously impossible to eavesdrop on the wall. After all, the bar is quite big, the back door is the kitchen, and the front is exposed to the light of the street lamp, so it is inconvenient to sneak. The wolf looked at the surrounding environment and suddenly went to several wooden boxes in the back alley, then borrowed a wall and climbed to the roof of the bar. Unlike the rustic thatched roofs of the country, the roof of the bar is supported by wooden beams and has a tiled surface to shelter from the wind. Its roof is not perfect, but it is precisely because of imperfections, this roof just provides the opportunity for the wolf to sneak out to the downstairs.
Once again, this well-formed wolf put his ear on the roof and eavesdropped on the messy conversation in the bar.
"Good news! Joan of Arc has won again." One voice said: "She led the French army and is currently deadlocked with the British army in front of the Trelleborg. I am afraid that it is a matter of time to capture the toll. France is just around the corner!"
"Do you really believe in this Joan of Arc?" The other person remained skeptical: "I don't know if God is really helping us in France. But an ordinary rural girl claims to be the of God." I don't believe it."
"She swept the abominable British army with the army!"
People talk about it one sentence at a time.
"She joined the army and saved the almost fallen Orleans!"
"She was arranged to meet with Charles VII. In order to test her, Charles VII deliberately dressed up as a man to let others pretend to be. She immediately recognized the disguised Charlie VII adult!"
auzw.com "She is the best person in the world, if she has help! She can meet the future!"
The discussion became more and more fierce, and the crowd also praised this Joan of Arc, and there was little doubt about the saints.
however--
"The Holy See has not acknowledged this saint so far. Is she really God sent to help the Virgin of France? If so, why has the Holy See never received instructions from God?"
The discussion ended abruptly.
Of course, there are certainly many people in the crowd who are willing to speak for this Joan of Arc. But none of these people dared to stand up and say that the half sentence of the Holy See was not.
Because, in this era, those who dare to openly oppose the Holy See will be considered to be heretics and will be sanctioned by the heretical judge.
"So as long as the Holy See does not recognize this Joan of Arc, she is not a true saint in a day?" A voice whispered, "What do you say in the Holy See?"
"They didn't say anything!" The answer was ambiguous: "Some things even the Holy See did not dare to assert."
"But the Holy See has sent a cardinal to the French investigation. The daughter of Orleans is a true saint, or a witch who participated in the war in the name of God, let the cardinal check it out. Be clear!"
The wild wolf on the roof blinked slightly.
The times have changed and the situation has changed. In the near future, there will be a bigger and more cruel storm between France and England, and the people of France will be involved in it. Now that this Holy See is in the game, the situation is only getting more complicated.
While the wolf was thinking, his ears moved. He thought too much, and he didn't even notice the danger of being quietly close.
Hey! A sharp burst of sound suddenly sounded, and the wolf realized the dodge at this time. However, the pointed sharp blade of the long gun had already drawn a shallow wound on the wolf's back.
The pain is definitely there, but it is not fatal, just a skin injury.
The wild wolf on the back was hostilely watching another dark shadow on the roof, a human man with a gun. The lights in the town are dim, and the whole picture of this person cannot be seen. But the light of the moon and the night vision of the wolf itself is enough to make it roughly clear what kind of person he is.
This slender man is very well matched with the rifle he uses. The light armor he wears is light and unobtrusive, and provides the most basic defense. There are actually only two shoulders that are wiped out. The man with the gun was covered in a white long coat on his chest, and the lightly covered long coat covered the armor underneath. The long coat itself had a red cross on the white base.
The wolves who have been in and out of various towns for a long time to gather information, of course, know what this dress represents.
This slender man who made the gun was a crusader belonging to the Holy See. Although the Crusade's heyday was almost a century ago, a very small number of elite troops were still preserved and became faithful running dogs of the Holy See.
They can't be bothered.
"Oh, look what we found?" The crusader who made the gun spoke of a strong Roman population, but said awkwardly in French: "A demon wolf? It's all fine, can you get on the roof?"
The wolf did not answer the other party, although it could understand the other person's words. He knows that with his current strength, in the face of such an elite Holy Cross crusade, there will be no chance of winning. The only way to think about it now is to find a way to escape from the night.
"Don't answer yes? But your actions have already sold you. Going deep into the city, flying away, is definitely not something that an ordinary beast can do. You are abrupt, just accept God's judgment here. !"
The voice just fell, the crusader has already attacked! He is fast, and walking on the roof can be as smooth as it is. His rifle was like a meteor to the brain of the wolf, and this shot was extremely deadly.
The wolf can't continue to sit still, it looks at the trajectory of the long gun, a jump, and dodge beautifully.
"Stupid, they are all cheating on you." However, the man said.
The wolf has not realized what is going on, and another wind has come from behind it. Another crusader sneaked from behind the wolf, and the shot was quick and awkward. Before the wolf felt dangerous, the rifle had already penetrated from its back neck and passed through the wolf's throat!
