If Lumian remembers correctly, today, that is, in the afternoon of March 30th, Pierre Berry will go to church to pray regularly. In the last cycle, he and Raymond met him because of this. The last cycle In the same time, I also met him in the village square at about the same time.
But now it's three or four in the afternoon!
"When did he go?" Lumian pressed.
Marty recalled:
"It's been a mile."
In rural areas, except for a very small number of people, almost no one owns a clock. The description of time is often done through specific events and markers, such as the season for picking grapes, the time it takes to walk a mile, etc., etc. .
Of course, if the time is short enough and people can perceive it clearly, then "a few minutes" and "a quarter of an hour" will also appear in verbal expressions.
A mile of work? That's not too long... Lumian thought that Pierre Berry went to church in the afternoon and hasn't come back yet.
One mile in Kordu village is one kilometer in the Intis metric unit.
After bidding farewell to Pierre's mother Marty, Lumian left Bailey's house and walked towards the village square.
He didn't know whether Pierre Berry went to church in the afternoon and went again now, or was unexpectedly delayed in the afternoon and failed to go.
If it is the first possibility, Lumian can feel the turbulence of the undercurrent—Pierre Berry's frequent visits to the church to find the priest is definitely not normal, there must be something terrible brewing.
If it is the second possibility, then the problem is big!
"History" should not be different before Lumian, who retains the memory, and Aurora, who knows the cycle, try it!
If there is a difference, it may mean that the laws of the cycle have not been truly grasped by the siblings, or that there are other people who can retain the memory.
Thinking of this, Lumian let out an "ah", raised his hand and slapped his face lightly.
He was so shocked just now that he forgot to ask Pierre if he had been to church that afternoon.
This is very important.
"It's too suspicious to turn around and ask again. I can only talk to Pierre later when I drink with Pierre." Lumian quickly suppressed his inner annoyance and strode towards the square.
Entering the "Eternal Sunshine" church, he saw the priest Guillaume Bennet standing in front of the altar with various sunflowers, facing the people sitting in the first row of chairs. say something.
As soon as Lumian passed the gate, Guillaume Benet closed his mouth and looked this way.
plotting? Lumian smiled, walked towards the altar, and looked at who were listening to the priest's "sermon".
He saw Pierre Berry the shepherd, he saw the scoundrel Ponce Bénet with his thugs, he saw Madeleine Bénet and Sibyl Béry, the parson's mistresses, he saw A man who both surprised him and thought he should be there—Arnold Andre, the youngest son of Naroka, a farmer in his forties.
"Hi, Pierre..." Lumian greeted with a smile, but paused halfway.
The last half of his sentence was originally "Didn't you want to buy me a drink, why did you come here", but he suddenly woke up, remembering that the agreement had not yet appeared in this cycle.
That was something that only happened in the last cycle and the last cycle. This time, Lumian met the shepherd Pierre Berry for the first time.
As Kordu's prank king, Lumian reacted very quickly on the spot, adjusted his body immediately, and opened his arms facing the altar:
"Praise the sun!"
With the help of this etiquette, thoughts in his mind turned and he quickly came up with a new rhetoric.
After praising the sun and getting a response from the priest in the church, Lumian turned his body sideways and said to Pierre Berri who was sitting on the edge of the first row and looking at him in doubt:
"I heard that you had returned to the village, so I hurried to your house to look for you, but you came to the church."
He didn't say who he listened to, anyway, Pierre Berry would inevitably be seen on the way from his home to the church.
There are really no witnesses, and Lumian has a backup candidate:
Ava's father, shoemaker Guillaume Lizier.
"What do you want from me?" Pierre Berry, who was wearing a dark brown long coat, stood up, with a gentle smile and a blank expression in his blue eyes.
Lumian was ready to make an excuse, and said with a smile:
"I want to hear you talk about the things you met during the transition, different countries, different villages, different places, it must be very interesting."
In the past, he also liked to chat with the shepherds who came back from the transition, enriching his knowledge reserves.
Before Pierre Bailey could respond, his eyes fell from the other party's messy and greasy black hair to the brand new leather shoes:
"Get rich?"
"This time, the employer is more generous and gave me a lot of things." Pierre Berry replied with a smile, "I'll treat you to a drink later."
"Okay." Lumian was waiting for this sentence.
He even asked:
"when to go?"
This shows the demeanor of the regulars of the old tavern, who don't want to lose face just to drink a glass of wine.
Pierre Berry glanced at the priest, Guillaume Benet, and got a corresponding hint.
"How about dinner?" he suggested.
"Okay." Lumian agreed very readily.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the shepherd, curate, Ponce Bennet and others, he sat on the second row of chairs closest to him.
"..." Pierre Berri was stunned for a second, "Aren't you going back?"
"It's been too long since I prayed, so take this opportunity to pray, lest the gods think I'm not devout enough.
"Go on, go on, don't worry about me."
After speaking, he closed his eyes, lowered his head slightly, and crossed his arms to his chest.
Pierre Berry, Guillaume Benet, Ponce Benet and others looked at each other and couldn't continue.
After waiting patiently for a long time, seeing that Lumian never finished praying, the curate priest looked at Pierre Berry and motioned him to ask.
Pierre Berri came to Lumian and patted him on the shoulder:
"How long are you going to pray?"
Lumian opened his eyes and said seriously:
"I'm going to pray until dinner time. Anyway, I have nothing else to do. I can make a confession later."
The priest Guillaume Benet heard his forehead twitch.
He looked at Madena, Sibyl, Ponce, Arnaud and others who were waiting for him, exhaled slowly, winked at the shepherd Pierre Berry, and pouted towards the door.
Pierre Berry received what the priest wanted to convey, and hurriedly said to Lumian:
"I'm done praying, why don't I go to the old tavern now?"
"Okay!" Lumian stood up abruptly, with a smile on his face, how could he be serious and pious.
He had discovered that his arrival made it impossible to continue the plot of the priest and the others, so with a mischievous mentality, he forcibly delayed for a while until Pierre Berry was forced to leave early.
He believed that the priest in the church could see that he was performing, but if he encountered similar things, he wouldn't make a mistake by the way. Was he still the prank king of Kordu Village?
The character design must be maintained so that it will not be suspected!
Lumian's regret is that my sister should have gone to Bailey's house to communicate with the three sheep, otherwise, if I send "blank paper" to the church to eavesdrop on the plot of the priest and the others, I will definitely get a lot of useful information .
Maybe it can be done next time round... But will Pierre Berry be aware of being monitored? He is not simple, at least he is much better than the priest who is still an ordinary person... Lumian was full of thoughts, followed the shepherd Pierre out of the church, and walked to the old tavern.
...
In the sheepfold behind Bailey's house.
Aurora, who was wearing a white tunic dress, came around from the small woods and jumped over the wooden fence.
As a beautiful lady who seldom goes out and attracts attention, she can only choose this rather secluded route, otherwise she will be easily stopped from chatting and even met with suspicion.
"I don't know when I will learn the secrets of invisibility and shadow hiding..." Aurora sighed silently, and walked towards the three sheep that had huddled beside the haystack.
As she walked, she said in plateau language:
"Don't be afraid, I am the enemy of the shepherd Pierre Berry."
The eyes of the three sheep whose hair was brown due to filth suddenly changed dramatically. First they were vigilant and worried, then full of hope, and more at a loss.
They didn't retreat any more, and let Auror walk in front of them.
Aurora further said:
"I discovered your specialness in a certain way. You were supposed to be human, right?"
The eyes of the three sheep were suddenly filled with emotions such as shock, ecstasy, hope and doubt, and they bleated instinctively.
Aurora glanced at them:
"You can't talk, but you can write, can't you?"
One of the sheep was stunned for a second, and quickly started to draw on the dirt.
It writes a very simple plateau word:
"Yes."
It's saying they were originally human.
"What happened, why did you become sheep?" Aurora thought for a while, and then added very quickly, "You write the first, middle and last parts of the matter separately to save time."
The three sheep divided the work slightly, and wrote different contents on the soil surface with their hooves.
Not long after, they each completed a sentence:
"We got caught."
"A ceremony was held."
"Wrapped in sheepskin, turned into a sheep."
A ritual magic that can use sheep's skin to turn people into sheep? Huh, this is obviously much less difficult than directly turning a person into a sheep... The only question is, which existence is the ritual praying to? Aurora asked in a tumbling state of mind:
"Pierre Berri caught you all alone?"
She wanted to confirm the current strength of the shepherd Pierre Berry.
"Yes." wrote one of the sheep.
Another sheep wrote more:
"He also has a companion, who is very powerful."
Before returning to the village, Pierre Berry already had a strong strength? Aurora suddenly noticed something was wrong:
Why does such a Pierre Berry behave like curate Guillaume Benet?
The current Guillaume Bennet should be just an ordinary person!
