In the end the knights found nothing.

They came rumbling and left rumbling.

Leaving a mess and a portrait.

That is the so-called witch.

Moore went to the choir every weekend to study, where the priest who didn't know what god he believed in told him what a witch was.

Witches, that is a group of people who are bewitched by demons to gain forbidden power.

They can cause great harm to those around them.

In order to prove that the harm is really serious, the priest also gave many examples to illustrate:

For example, a certain witch burned a certain village to ashes, or a certain witch froze all her relatives and neighbors into ice sculptures, which sounds terrible.

Moore believes that witches are evil, and everyone can punish them!

At least that's what he thought before he saw the portrait.

But when he saw the portrait, his whole body collapsed.

Because the one on the portrait is none other than his sister Vanessa.

How could Vanessa be a witch?

Moore absolutely didn't believe it.

As long as he can remember, Vanessa has lived with him.

The two depend on each other for life.

He knows Vanessa's kindness and gentleness best. Even people in the village who have had a little contact with Vanessa are full of praise for Vanessa. The boys all liked her, and it was hard for them to find any flaws in Vanessa.

The arrest warrant has been issued, and Moore began to worry about Vanessa's safety.

Sure enough, when it was time for vacation, Vanessa did not come back.

It wasn't until the second week after the arrest warrant was issued that the third group of knights had searched the village. On a rainy night, there was a light knock on the door of Moore's room.

He opened the door and looked.

Outside stood a drenched, ragged Vanessa.

It can only be vaguely seen from the color of the fabric that this was once a maid skirt.

Vanessa passed out before she could say a word to Moore. Half a month of fleeing made her physically weak, coupled with mental tension and being drenched by the icy rain, she unfortunately contracted a very severe wind chill .

Moore tried to use the only magic he knew.

But that crappy purification technique didn't have much effect at all.

Moore couldn't help it.

It is impossible for him to watch his sister die here, let alone take her away in the rainstorm.

In the end, he could only take out all his savings and went to the village chief's house, begging the village chief to save his sister.

Besides him, the village head is the person who knows Vanessa best.

In Moore's eyes, the old village head is like his father!

As it turned out, Moore was right.

In the middle of the night, the village head braved the heavy rain and came to Moore's house to check on Vanessa's situation.

But found that Vanessa's forehead was hot, and her body seemed to be burning.

Fever to the extent of Vanessa is no longer curable by herbal medicine. In the end, the village chief proposed to go to a nearby big city to buy holy water. A bottle of pure holy water costs 100 gold coins, and a bottle of diluted holy water costs 10 gold coins. Legend has it that diluted holy water can heal For all diseases, pure holy water can bring the dead back to life.

It's just that Moore and the village chief couldn't take out 10 gold coins together.

So, in the early morning of the next day, Moore and the village chief announced what happened to Vanessa, and with the help of the villagers, they collected 10 gold coins to buy the diluted holy water.

The holy water is the holy water, and the effect is amazing. Sure enough, Vanessa recovered under the healing of the holy water.

But then faced a more serious problem.

That's how Vanessa should be handled.

Leaving aside whether Vanessa is a witch or not, just saying that the lord's knight is looking for her is enough to cause headaches.

Vanessa, who had just recovered from illness, had a pretty pale face. In front of the whole village, she swore that she was not a witch, but when the villagers asked what happened to the lord, Vanessa always held her head, With a painful look on her face, she said that she couldn't remember anything.

Both Moore and the village chief believed that Vanessa was not a witch.

But in order to reassure the villagers, it is also to pay back the money.

Vanessa and Moore decided to provide labor to the villagers for free.

No matter what kind of work they have, they are willing to help, hoping to convince the villagers of Vanessa's innocence and slowly pay off their debts.

At the same time, I also hope that the villagers can help conceal the fact that Vanessa is still in the village.

Every time the knight came to inspect, the village chief hid Vanessa in the secret cellar of the warehouse.

After a long time like this, nothing special happened to Vanessa.

Plus she works very hard.

Gradually, the small village seems to have returned to its former quiet and peaceful appearance.

something unexpected may happen any time.

Finally, the sixth batch of knights visited the village again.

This time, the armor of the leading knight was even more gorgeous. Even the sword behind his back shone with a mysterious light. A pair of sharp eyes in the helmet scanned the audience, and no one dared to look at him.

"We are looking for Vanessa! You may not know what she did... She almost burned the eldest son of the lord when she was working at the lord's house, so if you see her, you must report it immediately, The lord will pay 500 gold coins as a bonus!"

Before leaving, the knight left a wanted warrant.

He deliberately glanced at Moore, and said coldly:

"Concealing a witch is a capital offense, I hope you will not be trapped!"

After the knights had left for a long time, the village chief held a small meeting in his relatively large wooden house and called all the adults in the village who could make up their minds.

It's just that compared to last time, everyone seemed a little silent.

Only Moore and Vanessa sat anxiously in the corner.

This time, Vanessa was completely confirmed as a wanted criminal. Helping a wanted criminal is a capital crime, and harboring a witch is also a capital crime.

But as long as you confess Vanessa with the wanted warrant, you can get a reward of 500 gold coins.

These gold coins are distributed to every household in the village, and everyone's quality of life can be raised to a higher level.

"Vanessa grew up in the village. We all know what kind of person she is. Besides, Vanessa has been helping us with our work during this time. When I hardly rested every day except sleeping and eating, I said that Vanessa is a witch. I don't believe it."

The village chief was the first to express his opinion with a sullen face.

The surrounding villagers looked at each other and didn't say much.

After a few random discussions about this matter, it was settled.

It's just that some subtle changes seem to have taken place in the amiable villagers.

Usually, when Vanessa is very tired from work, the villagers will comfort her, or offer to let Vanessa rest for a while.

But starting today, things are slowly changing.

Even if Vanessa worked all day, the surrounding villagers just watched coldly, and even deliberately added more work to Vanessa.
