Working Prophet

When the peasant woman saw Tom and three other Black Dog Guards and the weapons on their waists, she looked obviously frightened, and said tremblingly, "My lords, our village has given last month's tax money to the Popo family. .”

"We are not from the Arias family, and we are not here to collect taxes." Tom said as he stretched out his right hand, rolled up the cuff, and revealed the silicone bracelet on his wrist.

"I am Jerry (Christian name) from the Black Iron Guard of Shuangxiu Cult. This is the Prophet Merlin. The three beside him are my colleagues. The last person is..."

"I am Anton from the Silver Moon Church. You are all Pisiya's believers. Don't be afraid. I will protect you from the heretics." Anton said with his chest raised.

"We come here with no ill intentions." Tom shrugged. "It's just that two monks here are missing. They came to your village yesterday to preach, but they haven't gone back since, and no one has seen them again until now." You've been to them before, do you know what's going on?"

"I...I just got married here not long ago, so I don't know." The peasant woman said.

Just as everyone was talking, the baby's cry sounded again in the house. The peasant woman turned her head and looked inside the house, and then at the people outside the house.

Li Yu said, "It doesn't matter, you can go back and comfort the child."

The peasant woman breathed a sigh of relief, thanked everyone, and then closed the door. After a while, a song came from the house. It should be a local lullaby. Li Yu also heard Miss Rabbit hum it, but he forgot the title of the song.

Anton was stunned for a moment when he heard the singing, but he didn't say anything.

As the song sounded, the baby stopped crying.

After that, Tom moved to another house. This time the person who opened the door was an old man, about sixty or seventy years old, but he was much more enthusiastic than the previous woman.

After hearing Tom's intention, he also invited six people into his house.

Besides him, there were also his wife, an old cow and an old hen.

Since humans and animals live together, the smell is not very good.

But the old man's wife, a somewhat deaf old woman, was as enthusiastic as her man. She also took out the only half barrel of ale left in the house and said she wanted to warm up Li Yu and others.

Tom refused several times. He didn't know whether the old woman was too hospitable or a little deaf, but insisted on pouring wine for everyone.

Seeing that the hospitality was hard to resist, Tom could only take out a few silver coins from his body and put them on the table as money to buy wine. Then he brought up the old story again, "About yesterday, did you see two people, one fat and one thin, coming to your village?"

"Yes, I have the impression." The old man nodded. "They claim to be the messengers of Saturday. They wear strange bracelets like yours, and they say they want to invite us to build some kind of land-based kingdom of God. But I told them that I I am too old, and I don’t know how many more winters I can survive. I really don’t have the strength to be loyal to the great Saturday...

"I told them to ask the young people in the village. Maybe someone would be willing to listen to their sermons. After all, young people always like those novel things."

"No, you are still doing the right thing. People should not betray their beliefs under any circumstances." Anton said loudly, "Especially for Pissia's belief. As long as we believe in her wholeheartedly, she will also Bless us! Protect us!"

The old man was a little surprised when he heard this, "Aren't you someone who takes a break from teaching?"

"No, I am the common language teacher of the Arias family. I was sent here by the Silver Moon Church. We share the same faith!"

"Is that so..." There was a look of hesitation on the old man's face.

Tom had no intention of listening to Anton's nonsense. He actually didn't understand why Li Yu brought such a guy who was obviously going against them.

Tom interrupted the conversation between the two while raising his glass and asked, "Where are those two people now?"

He rode all the way, and his limbs were a little stiff from the cold. He really needed a glass of wine to warm his body.

"They are at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Delmon in the east of the village." The old man said. "They have three children who insist on sticking to the two Sir Hughes and letting them tell stories."

"Really? Let's go over now." Tom was overjoyed when he heard this and was about to drink all the wine in his hand, but Li Yu held his shoulders and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, please don't touch them." Something here.”

As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, he saw the old woman with some hearing loss suddenly took out a crossbow from the straw mat under the bed and raised it tremblingly.

But before she could press the button, a Black Dog Guard rushed forward, raised his knife and chopped off the old woman's head with one strike.

And Li Yu's voice just sounded at this time, "Don't kill people randomly."

But it was too late when he finished speaking. The head rolled off the bed and rolled all the way to his feet.

Li Yu saw full of hatred in those eyes that were staring at death.

Witnessing the tragic death of his old wife, the old man on the other side rushed over, took out the knife from his waist, and stabbed Li Yu in the chest!

It's a pity that he is an ordinary person, and an older person at that. His movements are too slow.

Tom rushed forward before his other lizard warriors could take action, kicked the dagger out of the old man's hand, and then pinned him down and captured him, finally leaving him alive.

Anton was still dazed at this time. After a moment, he asked Li Yu as if he had seen a ghost, "You... how did you find out that there was something wrong with them?"

"We met the first family before. The woman said that she had just gotten married and came here not long ago, but when the baby in the house cried, no one came to comfort her. This meant that her man was not at home, but it is so cold outside now, who would Why choose to go out at this time?"

"Well, that's a little weird."

"As for the second family, there are even more problems," Li Yu continued, "How could ordinary people prepare so many wine glasses in the house, as if they were waiting to entertain us, and from the moment we entered the house , the old woman’s look was actually a bit unnatural, but pretending to be deaf was a very smart choice.

"But when she was pouring you wine, I deliberately stamped my feet and knocked off the snow on my shoes. At that time, she obviously reacted and wanted to look at me, but she finally held back. But the biggest problem is, Or I found the young woman’s clothes in this room, and the same problem as the first house, she’s not here either.”

Li Yu pointed to the skirt next to the straw mat. The style did not look like something the old woman would wear.

After a pause, Li Yu said to Tom again, "For some reason, most people in the village are very hostile to us, and there may be other ambushes here. Contact our personnel outside and ask them to stay vigilant."

"Contact, how to contact us? They are still some distance away from us." Anton asked doubtfully.

Then he saw Tom take out a wireless walkie-talkie from his arms and wave it in front of his eyes, "You know nothing about the power of Saturday."
