Grasp the farming script in the famous book

The family named Canter in the town was publicly reported by the neighbor Mrs. Brown-they secretly took in a litter of kittens.

The woman of the Kanter family burst into tears, and the man beat the child cursingly.

Their actions were quick, and it didn't take long for a litter of kittens to be brought to the square and handed over to the mayor.Most of these kittens have not yet opened their eyes, and without the mother cat to take care of them, it is difficult for them to move, and they can only occasionally meow in a weak voice.

The mayor looked at this pile of soft little creatures with disgust, and wanted to hand them to Roland, but Mrs. Brown took a step forward and hugged all the cats in her arms.

"Come, my dear Countess, take these young devils—"

The old woman walked towards Roland step by step, her eyes shining brightly.

"Since you don't admit that little thing is a cat, these are real cats."

"As long as you throw them into the fire, let them be wiped out, and no longer cause harm to the world, the old lady will apologize to you."

"After all, you are the most powerful person on this land."

The old woman came to Roland with the cat in her arms, and bowed deeply to her.

Roland caught a glimpse of approval from the people around him—it seemed that people agreed that, as the Countess, she should show her attitude and stay away from the devil.

"Are you persecuting me?"

Roland answered with his head raised.

"Why do you ask me to do this, and I have to do it?"

Mrs. Brown bent her body and replied: "If you don't do this, you won't be able to prove that you are not a witch. Stay away from the devil!"

As she replied, she looked back at the pile of firewood beside her: "In recent years, there have been fewer. When I was young, the stakes here were often used..."

Roland suddenly felt a surge of anger in her chest, which rushed straight to her forehead, which could not be suppressed.

She reached under the cloak and found a wooden handle.

The smooth handle made of polished oak is connected to a cold and hard copper pipe. The place where her index finger is hooked is the trigger.

She is very familiar with this thing - an old-fashioned flintlock gun, Rhett gave her two in the last plane.At that time, it was already a weapon that was about to be eliminated.

But this thing is now the newest and most fashionable firearm, the "treasure" that she and Prince Andrei found in the deepest part of Count de Raphael's arsenal.

At that time, Andre was amazed by this thing, saying that he had never seen such a brand new "real object" outside the museum, and he was not very good at using it.

However, Roland directly filled and bolted the flintlock, and with a bang, a big hole was left in the bullseye of the arsenal—shocking Duke Andrei.

And this time she came from the manor to rescue Luna, carrying this terrible weapon with her.

But now, she frowned tightly, looking at the stubborn old woman in front of her, her eyes began to become unfriendly.

Why is such a stubborn old woman, ignorant, ignorant, paranoid, and vicious, standing in front of her, disobeying her orders, coercing her, and asking her to do things she doesn't want to do...

There is a cold thought in her heart, which is slowly rising:

——I have power in my hand and a weapon to kill people, why should I obediently be manipulated and obey others?

Roland's fingers gently caressed the gunstock carved from oak. The smooth, cold, and hard touch was giving her the strongest support.

Roland stared closely at Mrs. Brown, her gaze was so cold that the old woman looked up at her triumphantly, her color suddenly changed, she dared not look again, that aggressive face was gone, she even looked down Head started shaking.

"Sister, Countess..."

Priest Florent, who had been by her side all the time, also sensed something was wrong at this moment, and hurried forward, trying to stop Mrs. Brown.

Just now he opened his arms to protect Roland; now he also turned around and opened his arms to protect the old woman.

Roland let out a sigh of relief.

She immediately cleared the evil thoughts in her heart.

With her power and force, she can certainly suppress all those who oppose her, but this violates her own principles of life and is not beneficial to the future.This is not how she solves problems.

She reached out and took the litter of kittens straight from Mrs. Brown.

The young cats are very soft and cute. With their eyes closed, you hug me and I hug you. They are piled up in a pile and make a purring sound.

For the present, we can only work hard to change the deep-rooted superstitions in people's hearts.This cannot be done entirely by Roland, and must rely on the power of the church.Whether it can be done in an instant, Roland is not sure.

But even if she couldn't do it for a while, she couldn't just give up these innocent lives.

I will not send you to the fire - Roland whispered to the kittens.

"Floren, tell everyone about the Bible and the church's attitude towards cats."

She turned to Floren, she still had some confidence in this weak priest "brother" - compared to the impersonal priest, Floren was more like a person.

"Okay, let me say it," Florent said with relief.

He felt cold sweat running down his back.

He didn't know what weapon the countess was hiding, but he knew that she had made a murderous attempt just now.

If she becomes ruthless, no one will be able to stop her - Floren has this inexplicable impression.

It was already dark when the priest spoke.

Every household in the town has not had time to light their lamps.There are only a few torches scattered around the square, and the light is dim.The brightest place is only the burning firewood pile in front of the church.

"Help, help—"

Suddenly, someone exclaimed loudly in the direction of the main road from Tianshui Town into the town.

"A lot of cats... cat eyes..."

Everyone was shocked, no one cared about the litter of kittens in Roland's hands anymore, everyone turned around and stared at the direction of the road, not even daring to breathe.

On the road into the town, there is a cold fog that is common in this season.Among the mist, some figures appeared indistinctly.

Then there was the sound of horseshoes, gently, one after another, da, da, da...

But the most frightening thing was that between the figure and the sound of hooves, several faint green lights suddenly appeared—they were the eyes of cats.

As the figures appeared, people began to realize that those cats were all squatting on horseback and on the shoulders of "people", moving with the actions of "people", and slowly approaching the town.

"The devil, the devil... The devil has come to Tianshui Town..." Someone yelled in shock.

The residents of Tianshui Town began to tremble.

"It's all because of that old thing..."

The first person to blame was naturally Mrs. Brown—if she hadn't made such a fuss, the devil would not have thought of their town.

Mrs. Brown was as terrified as she was when she faced the cat before, and now she is so scared.

At this time, she hid behind Florent, and whispered tremblingly: "The devil is afraid of the priest's cross, the devil is afraid of the priest's cross... Priest, you will not abandon us!"

Floren: ...

Roland ordered loudly beside the two of them: "People in the town, light the torches and illuminate the square!"

Heathcliff and the knights were the first to move.They immediately realized that the person approaching the town should not be some devil, but an outsider who came to the town.

It is not clear whether the opponent is an enemy or a friend. We can only light the way first, find out the identity of the opponent, and then make plans.

As the road into the town is illuminated, the shadows of outsiders gradually become clear.

A group of guards surrounded the men on horseback as they approached the center of town.In the middle of the team, people on horseback are wearing red robes.There are kittens squatting on his shoulders, on the horse's back, and on the horse's head.It is the cat's eyes of these cats that reflect the light of the surrounding torches, like the faint green fireflies in the dark night.

"Meow--"

A cat yelled, and then several cats meowed together.

Roland heard that Luna was also surprised in the cat cage: "There are so many cats!"

Hearing the meowing of cats one after another, the people in Tianshui Town panicked even more.People followed Mrs. Brown and knelt down behind Father Florent, begging God to appear and save them from the horror.

"Is the local lord here?"

"Are there any local officials?"

"The curate of the diocese is invited!"

Among the outsiders, there were loud voices, speaking in a straight voice.

His accent is very special, a little condescending.

It seems that he is the only one who speaks French in the whole world, and everyone else speaks "provincial dialect".

Roland, who had lived in Paris for a long time in a certain plane, naturally knew it—this is the Parisian accent.

The visitor immediately named Roland, the mayor, and Florent.The mayor hesitated, but he was embarrassed to hide behind a woman in Roland.

Who would have thought that at this time Floren suddenly strode forward and asked excitedly, "Who is here... is it Cardinal?"

This question scared the whole town into a fool.

Originally they thought it was a devil, but it was actually a cardinal?

How could the cardinal come to such a small place like them?

"Bullshit!"

Mrs. Brown began to accuse loudly again, "How could the bishop carry so many cats with him? This must be the devil who has turned into a human form..."

Before she finished speaking, among the outsiders, two tall guards approached Mrs. Brown silently, picked her up by the collar, and made four "snacks, slaps, slaps" , gave her several loud slaps.

The two guards paid great attention to technique. After the beating, Mrs. Brown's cheeks were swollen and painful.But the assailant was merciful and saved the few teeth in Mrs. Brown's mouth.

Now, who would dare to question the bishop?

After the guards finished beating them, they asked again, the local lords, officials and priests.

Florent had already stepped forward to meet each other, Roland and the mayor exchanged glances, and both of them stepped forward slowly.

The scene in front of him was still a bit chilling. Amidst the vague cold fog, a thin man of medium build slowly dismounted with the support of the guards.

The green cat's eyes beside him were still flickering. At this moment, one by one, they all stayed on the horseback, staring at Roland's side motionlessly.

Roland heard the trembling voice of the mayor beside her, chanting "God bless" in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, Floren's voice sounded at this time: "Countess, the mayor... This is really His Excellency Cardinal. I heard his sermon near Lucong a few years ago."

Floren is an honest priest, he said that the person in front of him is a cardinal, and this is undoubtedly the cardinal.

Others couldn't imagine that the cardinal would come to such a small place as Sweetwater Town.

But Roland knew that in this plane, there was a close connection between Cardinal and Milady.

So she stepped forward slowly, came to the cardinal, bowed her knees to the cardinal, and then raised her face to look at the bishop who had a cat squatting on his shoulder and still holding a cat in his arms.
