I'm really a crispy French

Tiffany is a young priest, which is clear from her appearance.After all, there are still very few demigods in this world whose appearance is aging slowly, and Leon, a traverser who does not match internally and externally, should be unique.

According to her self-introduction, five years ago, the former priest was seriously ill and applied to the cathedral for a replacement, so she came to Adelaide Village.

Before he died, the old priest told her that because the sewage in Diller City had polluted the groundwater, but people here still use that kind of groundwater for drinking and farming, so the odds of freaks and newborns dying are very high.This is not a novelty, and the poor district in Diller city has proved this point long ago.

The old priest died soon. Two months after Tiffany took over the church, a pregnant woman with a big belly came to the church, crying that there might be a monster in her belly, and before she finished speaking, she gave birth. The child who came down had a shriveled head and was born without a brain.The mother screamed terribly, bleeding to death.But at the funeral, there was only the mother and no children.When asked by Father Tiffany, the mother's husband said that he had "handled" the baby.

This incident is a start. The poorer the child, the more frequently they have children. Some women even get pregnant once a year on average until their bodies are completely broken.The church in Adelaide Village is not just in charge of that village. In addition, as the priest of the God of Nature, she often also works as a doctor.At most, three or four children can be born a day, and when it is low, one or two children can be born every month.Almost half of these children are abnormal.

Some children died at birth, but others were only mildly deformed.Such as a crippled leg, a cleft lip, ears glued to the temple, no eyeballs, an extra or missing finger or toe, and intersex children.

These mildly deformed children actually do not affect their survival, and they can grow up.Tiffany was able to become a priest, but also step by step from apprentice, priest, and trainee priest. She has seen deformed children and seen them grow up.

Even bisexuality is not considered a deformity. Some religions will specifically find such children as special priests to train them—the Church of the God of Nature respects nature, so they will not deliberately pursue it, but after all, the God of Nature itself is Gods of both sexes have more love for this kind of children.

However, none of these children survived.Father Tiffany had already sensed something was wrong, and proposed to some parents to take the child away. Some refused, and some expressed that they would consider it. But the next day, the child must have disappeared.

Father Tiffany began his pursuit, of course, in secret.

"Why didn't you tell the church?"

"This incident has involved at least six surrounding villages and thousands of people. No matter what the reason is, I can't report it to the church on the basis of the speculation that 'this kind of thing is wrong, so there is a problem' without evidence. .”

Priest Hogan thought for a while, and she really couldn't say that she was wrong: "Please continue."

Her investigation has been traced to the present, and she has basically figured out the situation of these villages: "In order to prevent accidents, I guided Mr. Jerome to report to the church. I originally planned to take the initiative to explain the situation to you. However, my mercy was betrayed, and some of the girls I helped found out and reported to their families...Fortunately, the cycle knights were nearby, and they received my call for help."

Captain Morifio nodded, indicating that it was indeed so.

Leon looked at the Goddess who was talking slowly over there, turned his head and said quietly to Eldi: "I still feel something is wrong."

"I really want to solve the problem properly. There is no need to go around and ask the lord to ask the church for help. Since she has already learned the truth, why doesn't she directly report to the upper echelons of the church?"

"...She wants credit?"

"But probably no credit because she screwed up."

"Ok?"

"She was almost killed, and the people in Mordred Village have noticed it. It won't be long before more villages will follow. The best solution to this matter is that the church is with Di Li After discussing with Seoul City Hall, a large number of personnel were dispatched to implement it secretly as quickly as possible. But now that things get serious, it will turn into religious conflicts, and some people even say that the Church of the God of Nature is going to engage in religious persecution.”

The "secret execution" should be arresting, imprisoning and killing.Although the number of thousands of people is large, it should not be too many in this world. I don't know how many thousands of people will freeze to death in one winter.But the dead are different from the living. The living will shout, especially when there are lords like Mr. Jerome among the living. Although they are only small lords, their status is different from that of the poor.

They will do anything to protect themselves, and the Church of the God of Nature has enemies.Even if it's not the enemy's, they are happy to let this area have less gods to increase their own strength.

Father Tiffany's greed made things troublesome, not just for her personally, or for a few villages, but for the Church of the God of Nature in the entire Dill City area.Don't say it's a credit, the matter is over, and it's the church's mercy not to hold her accountable.

"It seems that we are going to notify the church." Leon said, his voice suddenly became louder, "Should we notify the higher-ups?"

Priest Hogan was hesitating, but Father Tiffany immediately said, "No need! We just need to settle this matter! I will be able to control the villagers! Priest Hogan, where did these two children come from? It will be soon It’s dangerous, it’s best to leave them here. Where are the fighters arranged by the church? Please call them here, let’s set off as soon as possible.”

"I'm really sorry, I'm the combatant arranged by the church, and I'm also the person in charge of this operation." Leon jumped off the swing, with his hips on his hips and chest out, speaking as forcefully as he wanted—at least himself think so.

Tiffany thought he was joking, but from the faces of Priest Hogan and Morifeo and the other knights, she saw no sign of it.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think of it... After all, you are too young, so, should we still go? You must know that this is a very urgent matter, and we can't delay it."

"I'm on the phone with the Archbishop of Huerta, and the Archbishop said, let's stand by. Father Tiffany, we still have a lot of time, and we can't talk about delays. I think you should tell us, you still Hiding something."

A crow had long been perched on a tree trunk in that garden of the cathedral.

Eldy, who was swinging on a swing by himself, smiled, and this time he gave Leon a thumbs up, thumbs up!

"Little guy, I forgive you for slandering a priest, but such absurd lies that are easily debunked by saying that you spoke to His Excellency the Archbishop will anger adults."

Leon shrugged: "Master Hogan gave you a chance to be honest, and I gave you two more chances to be honest, but you gave up. This is really... I don't regret it at all. A priest like you , in the Church of the God of Nature, of course, the fewer the better."

"Boom!" Just as Leon was speaking, dark clouds quickly gathered above their heads without wind, lightning crashed in the clouds, and huge thunder shook people's eardrums, but there was no sound. Rain falls.

Captain Morifio suddenly took out a morning glory from his armor, and the voice from the flower was indeed the voice of Archbishop Huerta: "Deprive Tiffany Edith of her priesthood and arrest her on the spot! You stay put and stand by for orders." !"

When the word "deprivation" came out of the morning glory, the knights had spread around Tiffany at an extremely fast speed, and Tiffany had an unbelievable expression on his face: "No!"

But it's useless if you don't believe it, she covered her head, the emerald green vine corolla on top of her head was rapidly withering, and in the blink of an eye it had turned into a pool of dark black sewage on top of her head.

She intended to rush towards Leon, but after only a few steps, the grass under her feet began to grow crazily, entwining her feet, making her stumble.The knights grabbed her without too much effort, and put a pair of noble black "bracelets" and "anklets" on her.

"Your Excellency, Archbishop! Please don't listen to the ravings of a child! I only have infinite love and respect for the God of Nature. Everything I do is for the sake of the God of Nature to spread the gospel to the world! I..."

"Crack!" Morifio slapped a big poplar leaf on Tiffany's mouth roughly. The leaf was like a thick and firm adhesive tape, and she could only vaguely see that she was opening and closing her mouth. mouth, but there was no sound.

But at the same time, this also means that it will be impossible for Tiffany to explain what she has done in a short time.

Morifio put the morning glory in Leon's hands, and the morning glory trembled slightly. Leon put it to his ear, and Archbishop Herta's soft voice came from inside: "In non-special times, the priesthood at the archbishop level People cannot leave the cathedral, I have now restricted the flow of people in the Adelaide Diocese, and additional people will arrive later, all under your responsibility."

"So relieved of me?" Leon couldn't help but marvel.

"You have dedicated your divine body to the gods. This kind of credit is enough for you to become a national-level archbishop of a small principality. Do you want to do it?"

"No, forget it. And I won't be responsible for the increase in staff. I'm not familiar with the personnel system. I don't know how to issue orders for such a transfer. Let them act on their own and solve the possible turmoil here. .If there is a need on my side, I will ask you for help."

"no problem."

After the matter was resolved, Leon looked at the three little girls: "You didn't just commit suicide when you went to the Howling Swamp, did you? What else did she ask you to do?"

"..." All this happened too fast, and it was beyond the girls' expectations. Just now, they were able to talk to Leon and the others, but now their eyes and movements revealed obvious fear and awe. be on guard.

Leon and Aldi looked at Priest Hogan together. Priest Hogan was stunned for a moment, but he understood quickly. He knelt down on one knee and said to the three girls in the most gentle tone: "The beauty of nature God will bless you, although this clergyman did not do the right thing, but after today, you can leave here and live in another place, where your parents are not there, and you can receive education, Grow up, find someone you love, and have children with him."

Priest Hogan repented to God in his heart, because he knew he was lying. Leon just said the seriousness of these girls being parasitized. Whether they can survive is already a question mark.

The girls still subconsciously went to see Tiffany, but the knights had pulled her away, they couldn't see her, they could only look at Priest Hogan.Mary wanted to speak, but Cindy stopped her: "Father Tiffany has helped us a lot. Without her, we would never know that we are not as good as a beast."

"...If you can cooperate with us, then we can speak for Father Tiffany." Priest Hogan paused, and then said, "I can't promise you that she will be fine, because she did something wrong. I All I can say is that I will try my best to plead with the archbishop to minimize her punishment."

Cindy and Mary looked at each other, and Cindy was still a little reluctant, but when Mary spoke this time, she didn't stop her: "The priest gave me a doll, a doll wrapped with vines, and a few sticks Candles, some spices. She asked us to set up a small altar outside the Wailing Marsh, light the candles, worship the doll, put the spices on the doll, and throw the doll into the swamp. We did, and we blew A strong wind, blowing out from the inside of the swamp, black wind, we were so scared that we wanted to run away, but after only taking two steps, we passed out. Confused, we seemed to be with many people Playing, and then waking up on the grain drying field."

"What kind of doll?"

"It's the kind of doll that is woven with hemp rope, but the doll is not made of hemp rope, but green vines. It is very small, only the size of a palm." Cindy said.

"What is your sacrificial ceremony like, and what are the sacrificial words?"

"Sacrifice words?"

"It's what you said in the sacrifice."

"We didn't ask us to say anything." Cindy shook her head.

"Father Tiffany said that it was just a ritual to get rid of bad luck for us, nothing needed..."

"'The Wraith in the Howling Swamp, the witness of the blood of hundreds of years of crime, the hater who is unwilling to die, the dead spirit who is full of hatred for the living, the suffering person who still has pity and sympathy for young children...'" Age The youngest, Monica, who has always been silent, suddenly... opened her mouth. She said a dozen or so long sentences, which were obviously aimed at the dead spirits accumulated over the years in the swamp. After finishing speaking, Monica smiled innocently, "Father Tiffany asked me to say it secretly, shh! Don't tell her I told you."

Young girls are always cute, but the smile on her face makes everyone shudder.

Priest Hogan turned around and rushed towards Tiffany. He grabbed the rattan armor on her body and shook her: "What are you doing?! What did you wake up?! What did you create?!"

Morifio uncovered the green leaf on Tiffany's face, the former priest no longer explained anything to herself, she showed an almost bright smile: "I just awakened those souls who wanted revenge, last night No one was taken away, right? Do you know why? Because I knew you were coming, so I gave up the suppression, and it has crawled out of the quagmire!"

When Hogan grabbed Monica to question, the morning glory Leon was holding trembled again: "Hello?"

"A village in the northwest of you has just been attacked by an unknown thing. It's a big guy. It has the breath of dead spirits and plants at the same time." Archbishop Huerta said, "I made it a little trouble, but now This distance, it has already exceeded the coverage of the cathedral, all I can do is delay its footsteps a little. You can withdraw now."

"Don't you want me to solve it?"

"Although I said that you can be an archbishop, you are still a child. I thought that what I handed over to you was a small case. It was just some mischievous forest elves taking children away to play. Who knew that such a movement would happen?"

"Okay, we will withdraw." Leon nodded, the sound of the thunder was louder, but it was not above their heads, but in the northwest, even at their distance, they could still see the rumbling down The huge thunderbolt that split.

Leon touched his chin. The jurisdiction of the God of Nature is really wide, including the four seasons, flowers, fruits, trees, animals, and thunderstorms.

"Do you want to go?" Eldy asked, his two calves were still swinging to drive the swing, looking leisurely.

"Let's go, I'll go play for a while." Leon said, looking in Thunder's direction.

"..." Leon said before that he wanted to go by himself, but the second time he heard it, Eldy was still unhappy, "Okay, you have to pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry... In fact, if there are no outsiders, I can take your head away." Leon saw that everyone was still concentrated on Priest Hogan and Tiffany, so he cupped his chin with both hands and lifted his head upwards. After a while, a neat gap appeared in the middle of his neck, but his body was still standing firmly. As soon as he released his hand, the gap closed, "However, there are too many outsiders, it will scare them." .”

Eldi smiled happily. He would not die if he was beheaded. It was really difficult to be killed.Then he was worried again, it was so difficult to be killed, so if he betrayed himself in the future, how should he be killed?

——He has completely forgotten that a few seconds ago, he was still worried about Leon's safety, worried that he would become Leon's burden.

"Priest Hogan! Don't talk to her! Get ready, the bishop let you go!" Leon shouted, "Captain Morifio, take them all away. Don't forget to go to the manor, My coachman is still there."

Morifeo was a little depressed. Although he went to protect Tiffany, he just beat up a group of mortals. Are he going to be thrown down by Leon now?

Leon ignored him, and didn't even give Priest Hogan time to talk. He was already lifted by the "Leon factor", flew up, and rushed towards the direction of the thunder bombardment like a cannonball. !His speed was very fast, and within ten minutes, he saw the big guy that Archbishop Herta said.

This thing is similar to what Leon saw in the phantoms created by those screams before Leon cut off the unknown thread on the children, but it is bigger and more distorted than the things in the phantoms.It is as big as a mountain peak, but it is not as tall and majestic as a mountain. It is soft, like a puddle of mud with too much water.However, it is not made of mud, but tiny people.

As shown in the hallucination, there are men, women, young and old, but not the hairless appearance in the hallucination. Some of them have hair, some don't, some are half-rotten, and some have rotted into fragile bones.Everyone's bodies are tightly packed together. From the surface of this huge monster, only their wailing faces with twisted eyes and wide open mouths can be seen, an outstretched arm, and shoulders. Below the shoulders, this person It's hard to see what it's like.

When it wriggled, probably the position of the head would bulge upwards, and countless little people wriggled and squeezed upwards, and the subsequent parts became smaller and smaller. before collapsing.Because it is too huge, and the speed of the bulge is not slow, so the forward speed is extremely fast.

When the thunder strikes down from the dark cloud, it will concentrate on the topmost point of the monster, and then turn into a huge power grid, spreading to the monster's entire body.

Leon heard the scream, just like the scream when he cut off the unknown thread, only louder and clearer.

Eldy and the others reacted violently when they heard the screams, but Leon didn't react.He was suspended in the sky, and the factor had already been released towards the monster. At the same time, he opened his big and cute eyes and looked at the monster curiously.What he saw were countless souls like the three sisters of Cindy, whose bodies were covered with unknown threads. The thunder split the souls, but soon the next soul blocked them.

A person who was not struck by the thunder disappeared, but was swallowed by the factor.But at that position, there was still a soul standing there, seeking something out with the same movements as the body, but it only stayed at the original position for a few minutes, and was suddenly dragged down!Don't push another half-rotten figure up.

"Bishop Huerta, the shell of this thing is very hard, wait until I knock it open before thundering." Leon took out the morning glory.

"Have you passed? No one knows how this thing was made for the time being. You should pay attention to safety. If something is wrong, grab this morning glory immediately. It can provide you with a shield and let me know your location. To provide you with safe protection."

"Okay, thank you." Leon said, stretching out his hand to the huge monster. The first layer of the monster's body surface completely disappeared. The body swelled violently, and it returned to its previous size, but this time, Leon provoked it, and from its huge body, densely packed raptors flew out - only the outline looked like a raptor, but in fact, It is made of rotten flesh and blood squeezed and twisted together.
