————————————————————————————————————————

In this magical world, people who believe in the righteous god are not scary, but those who believe in the evil god are scary. This is not because the believers of the righteous god are all good people, but because the righteous god most likely does not really exist.

But evil gods are different. Except for some Muggles who pretend to be gods and ghosts, most of the remaining evil gods are played by powerful dark wizards.

Thinking about the ghouls he had seen before, Rossi had some thoughts:

This place is most likely a testing ground for a dark wizard.

She didn't think that those dark wizards who pursued power would be so bored as to fool Muggles with their magic.

The complicated thoughts were instantly transferred from his mind. Rossi, who didn't want to get into more trouble with him, apologized sincerely, and then asked:

"Mr. Priest, we also have a companion named Sherlock Holmes. He should have arrived here in advance. Do you have any impression of him?"

Briefly describe the image of Shylock.

"I've never seen this person before."

Shaking his head slightly, the priest with a slow expression gave a suggestion, "You can go to Seit Castle and inquire about it. Maybe he did not enter the village, but went there directly."

Are you trying to trick me into going to the castle?

Rossi rolled his eyes inwardly, not intending to accept his suggestion.

At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from Pierre's room.

That was the voice of Irene who quietly followed Pierre into the room thanks to her invisibility.

"Eileen!"

Without thinking too much, Rossi immediately pulled out his wand and rushed in.

As soon as she entered the door, a faint rotten smell spread into her nostrils.

Rosie frowned unconsciously and moved her eyes from the opposite staircase leading to the second floor to the left. She saw Irene standing at the door of the restaurant at the corner, covering her mouth and making retching movements.

When he found her running in, Irene stopped her while holding back her nausea: "Xixi, don't look!"

Just as she finished speaking, Pierre came out of the restaurant with bloody flesh hanging between his teeth, a boning knife in one hand and a leg bone in the other.

The leg bones look slender and thin, with smooth bone surfaces. They should come from a woman.

The moment he saw the leg bone, Rossi subconsciously made a guess about its origin.

"Ma...la...yi...ah!"

At this time, the priest's strange pronunciation with a prolonged tone suddenly sounded outside the room. This was a language that Rossi had never heard before.

Pierre responded with a long voice in the same language, and then with a fierce look in his eyes, he raised the boning knife and swung it over.

"Collapse!"

How could Rossi, who was well prepared, let him succeed? A dark red light instantly emitted, slamming him into the wall.

"Ma...la...yi...ah!"

Weird and obscure pronunciations came one after another, and waves of footsteps surrounded him.

All the villagers in this village gathered around??

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Rossi saw a triangular mark with a broken center on the chest of Pierre, who should have been knocked unconscious by the spell.

Immediately afterwards, he stood up unsteadily, picked up the fallen boning knife, and was about to attack again.

Huh? Is it an ancient magic text?

She had seen it when she was at Hogwarts, so she was not unfamiliar with it.

"Freezing spell!"

Ice crystals containing magic lighted up at the tip of the wand in an instant. With a flick of the wand, the dense frost and snow immediately froze him into a human-shaped ice sculpture.

"boom!"

The door to the house was slammed shut. Rossi turned around and saw Fan who had bolted the door and took a few steps back. He was looking at the door with a crossbow in his hand.

"There are a lot of villagers outside, and they all have weapons. It doesn't look right!"

"It's really not right. They have magic symbols on their chests, and their whole bodies exude the aura of black magic."

Irene, who had poked her head out of the wall to conduct reconnaissance for a moment, retracted and casually made a suggestion, "Xixi, should we clear them out?"

"Let's wait and see. Let's avoid them first."

Rossi immediately shook his head and objected, "We still don't know what's going on, so there's no rush to take action."

As she spoke, she waved her magic wand, turning the doors, windows and walls on the first floor into a whole.

"Let's go upstairs and have a look!"

Rossi, who had probably guessed what was in the restaurant, naturally didn't want to be upset and cautiously walked up the stairs leading to the second floor from the living room.

Seeing her and Eileen walking towards the stairs, Fan volunteered and said, "I'll search on the first floor."

Rossi said "Yeah" and went up to the second floor.

The second floor is a studio-style bedroom. As soon as you go up the stairs, you are facing an oil painting of a male youth with open arms, and around the male, a group of ghouls are crawling.

Obviously, this is their belief in evil gods.

After seeing the face of the man in the painting clearly, Rossi shouted out his name.

"Extis?"

"Do you know him? Who is he?"

"I've seen his picture in the Ministry of Magic's files. His name is Extis, a notorious dark wizard in history. It was he who created the dementors."

After a pause, Rossi guessed: "This village is probably another of his experiments."

At this moment, there was a sudden "bang bang bang" banging sound downstairs, and for a moment it was like the whole house was shaking.

what happened?!!

Rossi quickly walked to the window, looked out, and saw a group of villagers holding giant axes and hammers surrounding the bottom, smashing the wall with all their strength.

Seeing her appear at the window, a villager shouted and then threw the ax in his hand.

"Armor protection!"

Erin, who was following Rosie, immediately cast out the Iron Armor Curse and bounced the spinning ax away.

"What are the people outside doing?" At this time, Fan asked in a muffled voice as he walked up the stairs.

"They are smashing the wall, but don't worry, there is no threat at the moment."

Rossi said with a smile and thickened the wall by another ten centimeters with a wave of his hand, "Did you find anything downstairs?"

"There is a female body in the restaurant. She was dead for about seven or eight days."

"Margaret?"

"No, that is the mistress of this house..."

Fan, who looked unhappy, shook his head, then raised his hand and shook a piece of crumpled paper between his fingers, "The content on the paper was written by Pierre. Judging from the content, this village has a general."

The tradition of sharing the body of the deceased as communion and offering it to the ghouls.”

"Stop! Stop talking!"

Hearing this, Eileen suddenly retched again.

Rossi next to him couldn't help but feel his stomach churning when he thought of the look of Pierre he had just seen, so he had to forcefully change the topic to divert attention:

"Then what's the matter with the magic mark on them? Is it mentioned on that piece of paper?"

Fan shook his head: "No, but I guess it is the product of some kind of ritual magic."

As his words fell, the system prompts suddenly sounded in Rossi's ears:

"Ding, go to Seit Castle, find out and destroy the ritual magic."
