Chapter 7 Chapter 6 The Witch from the East

It was already 10:30 p.m. in the church of Berthe College, and people were still whispering, and their anxiety aroused their sense of excitement. César frowned, his brows curved like hard bows.Adele's sleep was very light, and he woke up several times when he was close to falling asleep, but he didn't say anything. He was just a child in front of these conceited adults, and adults usually wouldn't listen to children. He took out the cotton he had already prepared from his school uniform pocket, rolled it into small balls and stuffed it in Adele's ear, and turned his head to ask Minnie if he needed cotton... The future Baron Minet Steele was snoring heartily. , arched under César's ribs, like a piglet clinging to a sow.

Mrs. Leia's small circle over there has already talked about Su Jialuo, the princess of Ceylon who is so beautiful that Justinian VII did not hesitate to start a war.Beautiful women have always maintained a high interest in those who are more beautiful than themselves, and Lady Leia is no exception.She uses beauty as a weapon, and a woman more beautiful than her is like a swordsman holding a sharper sword, and she always needs extra attention. "You think Justinian VII is stupid, but in the hearts of us women, a man who loves you is willing to start a war for you, that is the most romantic thing in the world!" Mrs. Leia said, "But Suga Luo actually rejected Justinian VII."

"In your opinion, isn't Emperor Nero the most romantic lover in history? Not only was he willing to start a war for a woman, he was even willing to burn down his capital, Rome, and rebuild it to please his sweetheart." said Sir Allan. "Didn't the famous poet Rahe say that the king's romance is written in blood." Mrs. Leia pouted slightly, "Emperor Nero is a sexy man in our women's hearts even though he is staring at the name of a tyrant." "I think Justinian VII was seduced by that oriental woman." Sir Mathos said. "Su Jialuo is a virgin sung in the East, but you said it was so low." Madam Leia said so, but her eyes lit up, obviously expecting Sir Mathos to continue.

"Sugaro has the rigor of 'the lotus in the sky', and claims that every Ceylon boy loves her. No matter where you put that kind of woman, it is the source of yours." Sir Mathos said, "I heard that Oriental women are not allowed to touch them. They are all proficient in seductive arts. They paint their faces like paintings, touch their bodies with seductive spices, and practice their walking postures, as if they are walking on lotus flowers. Men can't hold back in front of them." "Even if an oriental woman rests in art, Su Jialuo is a princess, so there's no need to do that, right? Besides, since she wanted to charm Justinian VII, why did she refuse the emperor's marriage proposal?" Madam Leia said.

"If she marries Justinian VII, she will lose the right to inherit the throne. Of course she doesn't want to. I heard that she seduced Justinian VII for the political interests of Ceylon, and finally stirred up the emperor's anger. Playing with fire and setting yourself on fire." "Are you saying that Su Jialuo wants to refuse but still welcome?" Mrs. Leia covered her mouth with a fan, with an unhappy expression, "In your eyes, am I also a frivolous woman? The degree of harm to the country is not enough, Maybe it’s okay to harm a city?” Sir Mathos was taken aback, and then realized that his harsh evaluation of Su Jiaro would also hurt Mrs. Leia, the queen of salons in Marston City, and hurriedly tried to make up for it: "Men's respect for women comes from Feminine temperament and manners, a truly noble woman, like Mrs. Leia, is respectable and inviolable. However, the charm of Su Jialuo is all-powerful and evil, and all she can arouse is the male desire to conquer and possessiveness."

"Late sweet words are like withered roses, they are useless." Mrs. Leia gave him a cold wink. She wasn't really angry, just posturing.She is looking forward to being compared with Su Jialuo. Although she can be regarded as a famous beauty in Masiton, she dare not think that she can keep pace with Su Jialuo in beauty. After all, the other party is world-class. the Enchantress.But she was unwilling to admit defeat. Sir Massos's words well expressed Mrs. Leia's inner meaning: Those seductive oriental women are just to awaken men's desires. up a notch. César's eyelids twitched slightly. He didn't want to listen to these boring men and women, but the name Su Jialuo awakened some of his memories...

When the spectators chatted freely, guessed the eyebrows of the lotus in the sky out of thin air, added various attributives to her, and raised or belittled her, they never thought that in this church, someone had seen Su Jialuo with his own eyes. She was lying on the bed that day, wearing a vermilion long dress, with oriental-style gold hairpins in her hair, and the sunlight was filtered by the stained glass window and cast on her body.César stood in front of the bed and looked at her silently. The princess's face was as white as paper and her eyes were picturesque. She asked César in a barely audible voice: "Please...can you...kill me?" She Staring into Cesare's eyes, the look of a doe begging for help.

The vermilion long dress could not conceal the truth of the matter. Below her neck, there was almost no complete bone to be found. After it was broken, it was reconnected with steel nails. It was even difficult for her to move her fingers.If it weren't for the huge amount of painkillers working in her body, she would have died of pain. It was the night when the report of the heavy losses of the New Knights was sent to Constantinople, the angry Justinian VII broke her bones one by one with a hammer, and the royal maids heard There was an eerie jingle, but no one heard the wail, and Justinian gagged her mouth with a large piece of cork.The next morning he regretted it again. The war was not over yet, and this important hostage was still useful to him, so he asked the doctor to use steel nails to reset Su Jialuo's whole body bones.

Before leaving, César opened the iron chain on Su Jialuo's wrist, and kissed her gently on the cheek.That afternoon, Su Jialuo used her fragmented body to crawl hard along the window sill, and finally plunged into the bright sunlight. Justinian VII was furious, but by then César was already on the train back to Emerald. César couldn't explain why she helped Su Jialuo commit suicide. Maybe it was because she looked a little like... Mom? The truth of the world always deviates from the guesswork of ordinary people. Su Jialuo is indeed a beauty, but she does not possess any demagogic charm.She is called the lotus, but the lotus is not a seductive demon flower.After the full packaging of the propaganda organs of the Byzantine Empire, she became the soul-stirring and peerless enchantress.

The Sugalo that people think is not the real Sugalo, and the Justinian VII they think is not the real Justinian VII.Justinian VII was neither insane nor romantic, and he would never be obsessed with women. Among the monarchs César had met, there were few who were more gloomy and profound than that emperor.Those who really knew him called him the "Byzantine Eagle".He single-handedly directed the Su Jialuo incident, but let people put the blame on Su Jialuo, and still trampled on her in the name of morality. What morality do they understand?All morality is a lie fabricated by kings.

For a long time, the kings of Iruber firmly believed that there must be a war between the East and the West. Either the army of the East flooded the Western countries like a tide, or the flag of the West was planted all over the East.Then it's better to take the initiative to start the war in your own hands. Sugalo was just a pawn, used as a reason to go to war. Whether he went to Constantinople or not, the Byzantine Empire would attack Ceylon. The kings of all countries are the accomplices of the Byzantine Empire. At that time, they evenly distributed the beautiful prey-Ceylon girls.The Papal States are no exception.On the surface, the Pope rejected Justinian VII's request for help, but armored knights without numbers participated in the battle to destroy Ceylon. They wore black cloaks to cover up the president on the armor.They only had a hundred people, but wherever they went, the defense line of the Black Mandala was torn apart like paper. The participation of the Papal States in the war finally ignited the anger of the Great Xia Emperor, and the war finally expanded. The believers thought that the Crusaders represented absolute justice and were the army of God in the world. In fact, they were just like the ordinary army. Pawns in the hands of the kings . Back then, on the day when the Crusaders burned Emperor Nero to death, tons of firewood was piled up under the steel cross, and citizens from all over Rome came to watch, but Emperor Nero did not show any expression of fear. He asked the executioner to put on a blue silk robe and a golden laurel wreath symbolizing the identity of the emperor, as if he were the emperor who was going to give a speech to the people. He actually gave a speech, and when the flames under his feet rose higher and higher, Emperor Nero's speech echoed in the square, sonorous and deafening, he said: "Don't believe the lies of these priests! The so-called world is the world. It is the battlefield prepared for the kings. The so-called king is the devil chosen by fate! Do you think you can end the war by burning me to death? The desire for war is engraved in the bones of every king, and you want to end the war unless There is no king in this world!" The Pope couldn't help getting up and shouting: "Devil! The history of kings ruling this world is over! From now on, the world will be bathed in the grace of God! As long as the Holy See exists for a day! It will never allow any king to start a war at will! Never allow it!" Tragedy repeats itself!" Emperor Nero looked at the Pope with the look of a poor wretch and said: "O fool, when you have suppressed all the kings, you yourself will be the new king. With the hand that holds the holy staff, you will start a new one." war!" Many years ago, everyone thought that Emperor Nero was a lunatic, and many years later, the lunatic's prophecy became a reality. The head suddenly hurt sharply, as if a sharp knife was scraping his skull from the inside, César pressed his temple tightly, making a low guttural sound. "Oriental women have seductresses. I'm not talking nonsense." Sir Mathos said, "I have a good friend who is the military attache of the Yenisei Kingdom's envoy to the Great Xia Kingdom. He was tempted by a witch in the East. Well, it was an amazing experience." "There is such a sexy and exciting thing?" Mrs. Leia was attracted. In the hearts of some Western men, Oriental girls are mysterious and seductive, and they are their most desired lovers. This complex is called "Oriental Princess Complex". As early as the era of the Roman Empire, the navigator Quintus once sailed to Rizhao City, the easternmost port of the Great Xia Kingdom.He was escorted by officials of Rizhao City to Luoyi, the capital, where he was received by the Eastern Emperor.Quintus presented the emperor with a clock made in Rome, and the emperor gave him gold and silk in return. Quintus said, Great Emperor of the East, I am Quintus, a navigator from the Roman Empire, I want to go to the farthest east of the world, and use my track to measure the Star Luo Ancient Land, can you tell me to go further east Is it the route?The emperor smiled and said, great navigator Quintus, your ideal has been realized, do you know why Rizhao City is called Rizhao City?Because there is the east pole of the world, and there is no sea route to the east, only the boundless sea. Because the wind was not suitable for returning to the voyage, Quintus stayed in the Great Xia Kingdom. For ten years, he traveled to various provinces of the Great Xia Kingdom and wrote a wonderful book called "Oriental Strange Records". People began to understand the Great Xia Kingdom. What men are most interested in is the love affair between Quintus and Princess Daxia in the book. According to Quintus himself, the Emperor Daxia appointed him a high official title and admired his accomplishments in astronomy and navigation, so he intended to betroth the princess. give him.Quintus was scrubbed clean by the small white hands of the maids and then taken into the deep palace, where he met Princess Qingzheng of Daxia. According to Quintus's description, the princess is dressed in golden hairpins, her hair is seven feet long, and her hair is seven feet long. The fragrance of ambergris wafts from the corners of her skirt, and her eyebrows are green and picturesque. Quintus is fascinated by her every move. They were fascinated, they recited poems and painted paintings, but in the end Quintus left the princess to return to his hometown in order to return home to the Roman emperor. He said that when his boat left Rizhao City, the princess was playing the flute on the top of the building. The people in the city shed tears when they heard the weeping flute.This is the beginning of the "Oriental Princess Complex". Men all over the West were moved, and they wished to go back to that era and stay with Princess Qingzheng instead of Quintus for the rest of their lives. Of course, some people say that Quintus is just beautifying his own experience. Judging from his story, it is more like he has been entangled with a famous oriental prostitute for several years. But in any case, Quintus aroused Western men's expectations for oriental girls. Although it is difficult for them to distinguish between Bharatiya girls, Ceylon girls, Xia girls and Fusang girls, all oriental girls are good.If there are a few oriental dancing girls in the family of the big nobles in Fei Lengcui, they are very proud. The women, on the other hand, harbored speculation about the "Oriental Witch".They always feel that the magical charm of oriental women comes from their sorcery, which is some kind of heresy magic mixed with herbalism and witchcraft, which can capture the soul of a man and seal it in a small box, so that the man will be obsessed with them from then on Upside down at their mercy. "The earl went to Luoyi in 1874 of the Holy Calendar and lived there for two years." Sir Massos said, "He is not only a military officer of the Yenisei Kingdom, but also a well-connected businessman who has monopolized the local area. He is a good friend of many big local businessmen in the tea trade. He has never had any heirs, and his eastern friends suggested that he go to the witch to ask for good luck. At first he declined, but he could not stand the persuasion of his friends. Some people say that the witch is a peerless beauty, which makes people lose their minds. She only divination once for each guest, and she will never see you next time you go. Many guests are attracted by her beauty, but the door will always be closed when you go again. It was closed, and they dreamed about it, and some even stood silently in the house of the witch for several days and nights. The earl thought that she was just an oriental woman, and she had such a charm, so it didn't matter to go and see. So he followed his friends When he came to the temple where the witch lived, after he entered, the temple door was closed, and none of his friends went in. He faced the witch alone, only to find that she was not very beautiful, and she was not very young. Sitting in white in front of the altar, the witch opened her eyes and looked at my friend, saying, you are destined to have no heirs, if you want to steal a child from fate, you need to pay a high price, even lifespan, are you willing? " The people around all held their breath, only feeling a ray of mystery rising faintly in the story. "The earl was also trying to be brave, saying that if you can really take my life and give me a child, then start the ceremony, and I would like to see your oriental witchcraft. So the witch smiled slightly, and during that smile she She suddenly became a peerless beauty. She bit her lip and kissed my friend, and drew a six-pointed star under the corner of her eye with her lip blood. They drank tea, drank wine, and told stories together. In the arms of the witch, giggling like a girl. My friend couldn't resist her beauty at all, and lived with her that night." Sir Mathos said, "He doesn't remember how he left the witch's house at all, When he woke up, he was already at home. He was still immersed in the charm of the witch and couldn't help himself, and couldn't wait to find her, but the temple door was never opened again, so he remembered the rules of the witch, every guest she only See you once. My friend is only her guest, not her lover. What happened last night was not an affair, but a ceremony. Only then did my friend experience the pain of his predecessors. He wandered around the door of the witch day and night, hoping that A door will open for him, but it's over. He's only seen that witch once in his life." "Did he have children then?" asked Lady Leia. "This is the most amazing place. Ten months later, someone sent a baby to my friend's house. There was a letter in the swaddle, which was written by the witch to my friend. She said that I have taken your life, and for You gave birth to this child, please raise him well." "Could the earl have been deceived?" Madam Leia said, "That kind of oriental woman because of the party may have had affairs with men for many years. How can she be sure which child is his?" "But you have to know that there are very few Westerners in Luoyi. That child does have golden lanugo, not to mention that he is a replica of my friend after the full moon!" Sir Mathos said, "That is true It’s his child, that’s right, that child is still living in Kievan Rus in the Yenisei Kingdom!” "My God!" Baron Margo exclaimed, "Is your friend all right now?" Sir Mathos sighed: "As he agreed with the witch, he got a child, but lost his lifespan. He died of sepsis in the second spring after returning to Kievan Rus. It’s so talented that I can’t bear to gamble. Just like that, he said that he has no regrets about what happened to Dongfang.” "What a creepy story!" Baron Margo's eyes widened. "It's like signing July with the devil!" "The charm of oriental women is really frightening," Sir Allen was also horrified when he heard it. "It is said that Xingjian is the leader of the court maidens, so Chu Shunhua is called the son of taboo. If an ordinary maiden possesses such amazing Crazy power, I can't imagine how terrifying Xingjian's charm is!" "Sir Allen, you want to see the charm of Xingjian, right?" Madam Leia chuckled. "It's a pity that Luoyi is too far away." Sir Allen also smiled.It was just the usual teasing and little flirting among grown-ups, Lady Leia meant no harm, and Sir Alan wasn't taking it seriously. "Excuse me, has anyone brought absinthe? My brother has a headache." At this moment, a timid voice came from behind. Sir Alan turned his head, startled. In order to accommodate as many people as possible, the pews in the church were removed, and they all sat on the floor.From the height of Sir Allen's eyes, the girl's round knees were seen at first glance, above the knees was adorned with a plain lace skirt, and a long bow made of ivory pendants hung down the side of the skirt.That skirt is white, and those legs are also white, just like a white deer hiding in a white forest. He looked up and suddenly felt a little thirsty.Adele took off her veil, revealing her sixteen-year-old face to Sir Allen's eyes.For a moment, it seemed that endless light shone into Sir Allen's eyes from above, and Adele was bathed in the light that did not actually exist, and her skin seemed to shine with porcelain light. It wasn't until Adele left that Sir Allen came back to his senses and remembered that he seemed to have touched his pocket, and told her blankly that there was no, and Adele went to ask other people for help. "Maybe the witch is not in Luoyi, but by your side." Sir Massos whispered, winking at Adele's back. After turning around, Adele still couldn't find the absinthe, so she had to go to the drinking fountain to fetch a pot of water and come back. When she woke up, Cesare was making a low noise in pain and sweating, and she knew that her brother had another headache.Cesare suffered from persistent headaches, which came at irregular intervals and were painful.The doctor could not determine the cause, but said that absinthe could be drunk when the pain started, and that absinthe had the effect of relieving headaches. Adele supported her brother, brought the water bottle to his mouth, and fed him water. Her long hair hung down like a strand of silk wrapping her curvaceous body.This scene is like a famous painting, "Rescue the Boy and the Girl Who Fetches Water" by the famous painter Reynolds. In the painting, the girl kneels in the half-light and shadow, holding a silver pot to help the little beggar who is about to die of thirst on the street.The painter used translucent strokes to express the girl's body to show her holy and flawless beauty, just like the Virgin Mary descended from heaven. A similar scene happened in reality, and there was a charm that was hard to explain. Only then did Sir Allen notice that many men's eyes were fixed on Adele, but they didn't dare to look at it for a long time, as if they were soaked in water and took off again. dragonfly. Sir Allen had also heard of Adele's reputation, but he thought it was just an exaggerated exaggeration by a boring man, and he didn't take it to heart. This was the first time he saw Adele today.It was difficult for him to describe Adele's charm. If he had to say it, it was a perfect but dangerous beauty. The most beautiful things often make people feel awe, just like the statue of a saint carved in white marble, which makes people want to worship devoutly.But Adele's beauty makes people want to invade, seize or even crush her in the palm of her hand. Like a dragonfly that dips in water and takes off again. Such a young person is already fascinated, if she becomes an adult...wouldn't she be the second Su Jialuo?There is no reason, just intuition, Sir Allen felt that this girl would be the next Sugaro, countless kings would die for her, and she would ascend to the throne of the queen of the world stepping on numerous dead bones. "No one can explain that magical charm. It's clearly a little girl, but after a long time, it will give birth to longing like seeing a lover." Sir Massos lowered his voice, "It's a mixed-race girl. Fei Lengcui was sent to Marston to go to school, maybe the family didn’t want to see this kind of ominous thing. She is already fascinated at such a young age, if she becomes an adult...wouldn’t she be the second Su Jialuo?” There is no reason , Just intuition, Sir Allen felt that this girl would be the next Sugaro, countless kings would die for her, and she would ascend the throne of the queen of the world stepping on numerous dead bones. "It's just a child, don't be too mean. But little girls have such a coquettish attitude, and they are too indiscreet." Sir Allen said this deliberately, so as to conceal the throbbing in his heart. This is the little old man who came out from the crowd and grabbed the water bottle in Adele's hand, together with her hand: "What's the matter, isn't your brother feeling well? I'll help you." "Can you help me talk to the mounted police? My brother may need to see a doctor. He's having a headache! He's suffering!" Adele was very nervous. "Oh, don't worry, don't worry, let's see how anxious the child is." The old man took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Adele's forehead, "I'm going to tell the mounted police, uncle is here, is your brother okay?" Something's going to happen, baby." He put his arms around Adele's shoulders lovingly, like a grandfather with a granddaughter. The salty old thing!Lady Leia thought. It was Count Madeleine, one of the most famous nobles in the city, but Count Madeleine and his wife were known in the noble circle as a wonderful lady. Lady Madeleine received strict theological education since she was a child, and her beliefs were extremely pious. She always wears a nun's attire and claims that she has given her heart to God.Earl Madeleine obviously didn't find his holy wife in nun's attire attractive, so she mingled among the women all day long.He is also a frequent visitor to Mrs. Leia's house. Mrs. Leia was present today, so he didn't come to join in the fun in order to avoid suspicion.Madame Madeleine is suspicious and always feels that women in the city want to seduce their husbands, and Madame Leia is the most dangerous imaginary enemy.Several times she rushed to the charming young widow's house to search Lady Leia's bedroom, which she believed to be hiding her husband. Madam Leia was just playing around with Count Madeleine, and the great impression Count Madeleine left on her was salty and wet.Occasionally, I have the opportunity to invite Mrs. Leia to dance. During the whole dance, Mrs. Leia felt goosebumps all over her body because a bird-claw-like hand was scratching behind her back. Count Madeleine doesn't appear at Madam Leia's house very often recently, and I heard that he spends all day in the choir of Berthy College.At first, Mrs. Leia was surprised that the earl was interested in singing poetry. Today, after meeting Adele, Mrs. Leia understood Count Madeleine's "transferring love". Sure enough, Count Madeleine's hand slid down Adele's shoulder and touched Adele's back.Mrs. Leia had expected that the old man had an inexplicable fascination with the skin on a woman's back. Adele didn't realize what she was encountering, but Mrs. Leia looked disgusted.Thanks to his obsession with such an unobtrusive place like the back, that little girl is so careless, Mrs. Leia snorted coldly in her heart, if she was obsessed with women's legs, wouldn't she kneel down and hug Adele's legs now? Call her mother?Wouldn't it embarrass Madeleine's family? "Get your dirty hands off my sister, or... I'll cut it off!" Duke Madeleine suddenly heard a hoarse voice.It's hard to imagine this lonely boy making such a... brutal sound. Count Madeleine is the kind of person who has lust but no guts. She can't take advantage of a well-known courtesan like Madam Leia. She only dares to use her power over maids and lowly ordinary girls.In his opinion, Adele is similar to a commoner girl, and he thinks of himself as an old man, patting a little girl on the back will not come true, even if Adele is aware of it, it is difficult to say it.The two brothers and sisters live in Marston, how dare they offend the upper class in the city? "This... this ridiculous child, who do you think I am? I'm just trying to help you poor little guys." He was eager to save face, and then symbolically patted Adele on the back patted, this time it was really slapped instead of stroking, meaning "I just patted casually". "I said... take your hands away!" César forced himself to stand up. Although he was thin, he was half a head taller than the short Count Madeleine.Earl Madeleine shivered. The moment César stood up, he felt that he was under coercion. It was really strange. How could a thin boy overwhelm such an imposing earl? "As long as you're fine! As long as you're fine! I won't touch her! I won't touch her!" Count Madeleine raised her hands.The old guy panicked completely. At this time, a middle-aged and elderly woman in a nun's attire suddenly rushed forward from the crowd to block Count Madeleine, holding a cross in her hand and facing Adele and César, praying in a shrill voice: "God. , please let this filthy carnal beauty disappear from our eyes! May you demote all the banshees to hell, let them marry evil spirits as wives, and don’t let them confuse your believers!" That was the pious Mrs. Madeleine. In her eyes, even Mrs. Leia was a bad woman, let alone Adele.She made no secret of her hostility towards Adele in private, claiming that a shameless little girl who flirts with her husband intentionally or unintentionally should have been burned at the stake a hundred years ago. Of course Mrs. Madeleine was aware of her husband's problems, but to admit it in public would be to embarrass Madeleine's family, so she rushed out with a grudge, grabbing the cross, and wanted to calm down this beautiful little girl. Adele stood there blankly, tilting the kettle in her hand, and the clear water fell on the marble floor, splashing the corners of her skirt, but she didn't notice it. She heard what Madame Madeleine meant.She has also encountered embarrassing things before, such as being pestered by uncles she met on the road, pretending to be caring and asking this and that, being pointed at the back by female classmates and facing the stage while singing poems The strange look was just a momentary embarrassment, and it didn't affect her psychological balance.The education she received since she was a child told her that the world has a sunny side and a dark side. If people always see the sunny side, they will be happy and optimistic, and get closer to God. Besides, there is always a brother by their side, except for the big things. With her brother protecting her, she always lives in her own little happiness. She didn't expect Marston to give her any special treatment. In this world, the only city that would treat her as a princess is Fei Leng Cui, but she likes Marston more than Fei Leng Cui, as long as this city treats her as an ordinary princess. The girl is fine... But she suddenly felt the city's malice towards her and her brother, and it turned out that Fei Leng Cui is not the only city in the world that doesn't like their brother and sister. Why should Madame Madeleine misunderstand her?She is also a believer, devoutly believing in God, she posted a picture of the Virgin Mary behind her door, and prayed devoutly to her every night, and she prayed for little things.She even gave up the princess's gemstone crown, and he doesn't want anything big, good, or valuable in this world, but why do these people misunderstand her? She wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry. Tears rolled across her face, like a doll soaked in rain. "I told you a long time ago not to get close to such a filthy girl! Who knows what devil's soul is in her beautiful body! What I want to eat is the flesh and blood of a defenseless old man like you!" Madeleine The wife felt that she had won a temporary victory and grabbed her husband and was about to retreat. She couldn't get away, César grabbed her scarf, pulled off the nun's hat, and slapped the old face severely. Everyone present was stunned.In Marston City, someone dared to beat Madeleine's family?Or a boy hitting an elderly woman?God!How could he do that?Even if Count Madeleine's hand was misplaced, it was Count Madeleine, one of the most powerful families in Marston, and even if Mrs. Madeleine said some harsh words, she was already half How can a boy hit an old man? The development of the situation exceeded the speed of their thinking, César slapped Madame Madeleine in a circle, then he swung his left arm and slapped him a second time. The well-mannered nobles were all stunned by the boy's sudden ferocity. The breath of swords, guns and swords appeared on César's body, rising uncontrollably, and even temporarily suppressing headaches. A certain man once said to César: "If you want to become a real superior, you must first learn to suppress your anger. There is no need for lions to compete with jackals. If you don't like those jackals, what you have to do Just kill them silently." He should have had complete control over his emotions. But today I got a little out of control... How dare a little countess yell in front of him?If it was three years ago, if it was when he was in Fei Leng Cui, if he was still a member of the high-ranking group... "This kid is crazy! This kid is crazy!" someone shouted. "Stay away from him, be careful that he hurts again!" "This is the little girl's brother? The siblings don't look alike at all." "Brother and sister, who can prove it? The ghost knows what the relationship between the two is, maybe it's a shady relationship." Count Madeleine and Madame Madeleine were completely dumbfounded. Given their status in Marston, let alone being slapped, even if they were bumped by a rash person while walking, the other party would be terrified.There were more than a dozen members of Madeleine's family who rushed forward to pull the count and countess back.The women pointed at Cesare and Adele from a distance. Sir Mathos had no interest in Adele, but the scene in front of him just illustrated his point, so he shrugged and said, "This is the so-called 'Sugaro-style charm', right? Bring trouble wherever you go." Wherever you go, the orientals are all inferior people, and mixed-race children are no exception. They can't hide the viciousness and humbleness in their hearts, but it's a good thing that Bertha College let them enter." "It's just two poorly educated children. It's not that exaggerated." Sir Allen was a little gentler, "I think that girl is just ignorant, she doesn't know how to restrain herself because of her beauty." "To say that their family education is not good seems to be an excuse for them. The inferiority of the oriental blood is innate. Their men are aggressive and their women are kind." Sir Mathos snorted coldly, "If you don't believe me, just wait and see. In a few years, that girl will learn to curry favor with men to gain benefits, don't look at her face like an angel, the coquettishness in her bones cannot be concealed." César suddenly rushed out from between Count Madeleine and Madame Madeleine. No one expected that this skinny child who had never failed in sports would have such explosive power.Sir Massos felt that the dispute had nothing to do with him, and he was all focused on talking freely, but César rushed forward and kicked on his lower abdomen, and fell to the ground on his back. Priest Roman was resting in the back hall, and he came out only after hearing the noise. The first thing he saw was Cesare beating Madame Madeleine, and then he kicked Sir Mathos down.This church was originally under his management, and César was his student. He was furious but could not pass through the crowd to subdue César, so he climbed up to a high place and pointed at César and shouted: "Mount police ! Mounties!" Lady Leia screamed as César stepped on Ser Mathos's face, crushing him mercilessly with the sole of his shoe.If it weren't for his light weight, Sir Mathos's proud nose would have been broken. People couldn't wait for the mounted police to come over, and several strong men rushed forward to grab Cesar.At this moment, Minet, who was sleeping like a dead pig, finally woke up, seeing a mess in front of him, he was dazed at first, then jumped up, and put on a boxing stance behind César.This guy actually did not hesitate to offend most of the adults present to help his companion. The future Baron Mines Steele is such a person, he has a pair of pure eyes, he looks gentle and lovable, but in fact he is obsessed with oriental chivalry, and he has always dreamed of standing up in front of girls one day, He drew out his beautiful sharp sword and shook it, saying: "If you want to hurt this beautiful girl, just step on my dead body!" 根据他对侠义道的理解，保护美丽的少女固然重要，和好兄弟并肩作战也很能体现英雄气，因此他特意把拳击的姿势摆的很帅，目光锐利，凛然不可侵犯。 西泽尔也摆着拳击的架势。这个瘦削的男孩连平端重剑都做不到，而且正受着头痛的折磨，但每一记敏捷的直拳都能逼退扑上来想要制止他的大人。他那并不很有力的拳头会提前一点点打在对方的肘弯或者手腕处，一下子就能瓦解对方的进攻。 他的眼神空洞，全无焦点，看起来随时会被击倒，但直到拳击姿势优美的米内被某个强壮的男人用胳膊锁住咽喉拖了下去，依旧没人能够接近西泽尔身边。他用远远算不得宽厚的身躯把惊慌失措的妹妹挡在身后，向着四面八方出拳……对着整个世界出拳！ 这才是他的本性，与其说他孤僻和特立独行，不如说他对这个世界怀着莫大的敌意，一旦被激怒，那股敌意就不可抑制的爆发出来。 “嗨嗨！你们这些蠢货！别碰我的兄弟！”米内被人压在地上，还扯着嗓子高喊。斯蒂尔家的人只有他来参加弥撒，否则他早就被父亲或者叔伯拉下去痛打了。 确实没人敢接近西泽尔了，几位懂点格斗的爵士本想支付这个男孩，却被他的凶狠吓到了。如果不在乎受点轻伤的话，制服西泽尔是很容易的事情，但是养尊处优的猫必然会爱惜漂亮的皮毛而不愿接近野鼠，此刻的西泽尔在他们眼里就是只不好对付的野鼠。这种野孩子还是留着给骑警对付好了。 人群忽然裂开，一名骑警大步上前。在马斯顿人的眼里，这帮骑警一直游手好闲，让他们帮忙上树抓只跑丢的猫都懒得动，可此刻这名骑警的动作却凌厉如电闪。 火铳划出一个巨大的半圆，枪柄重重地敲在西泽尔的侧脸上。那一刻所有人都听见了骨头开裂的微声，西泽尔的直拳已经抵到了骑警的腕间，却被坚韧的护腕挡住了。他翻滚着旋转着倒地，把一口黏稠的血吐在大理石地板上。 “拖他们去禁闭室！把他们都关起来！”罗曼神父怒吼。 那边玛德琳夫人正捂着脸嘤嘤的哭泣，莱娅夫人按着丰腴的胸口花容失色，这些都是虔诚的教友，罗曼神父怎么能看着这些尊贵的夫人被一个野鼠一样的男孩侮辱？ 那名面无表情的骑警踏上一步，左手拎起西泽尔的衣领，右手把阿黛尔拦腰抱起，这时本该精疲力尽的西泽尔发出了一声刺耳的嘶叫，紧紧的捂着头，痛苦地在地上翻滚起来。 那声嘶叫真是难听……准确地说是可怖……好像把地狱里的魔鬼放在烈火上烤似的。 “叫大夫！快叫大夫！我哥哥犯病了！”阿黛尔惊恐地挣脱了骑警，紧紧地抱住哥哥，带着哭腔大喊。 体力透支和骑警的那记猛击让原本能压下去的头痛症彻底地爆发出来。不知道多少次阿黛尔看着哥哥痛苦地抱着头在床上翻滚，痛到极致的时候他从床上滚下来自己都觉察不到。西泽尔严禁阿黛尔把这种情况告诉别人，连米内都不知情。 永远不能让人知道你的弱点，否则在你虚弱的时候，原本相安无事的人也会走过来给你一记背刺！ 医生虽然无法确诊，但再三提醒阿黛尔说这种病可轻可重，病发时过量的鲜血涌向头顶，脑部的血管有可能裂开，当场死亡或者疯癫都是可能的，西泽尔想要安然过完这一生，就是不能生气不能激动，要平和。 “谁带了糖？谁带了糖？我得喂他吃点糖。”阿黛尔焦急地问，糖分对于缓解病情有点帮助。 人们你看看我，我看看你，谁都没有动。如果换做平时，大家还是愿意伸出援手的，有那么多欣赏阿黛尔的男人，又有那么多心仪着西泽尔的女孩。可经过刚才的事情，这对兄妹已经不再属于他们这个群体了，这对身份不明的野孩子，他们竟敢对高贵的玛德琳伯爵和夫人动手，谁帮助他们就是跟玛德琳家为敌。 “装可怜么。”有人猜测。 “不装可怜就得被关禁闭室吧？”又有人说。 人群里的安妮伸手到自己的裙兜里，抓住了里面的软糖，却被父亲隔着裙子抓住了手腕。父亲用严厉的眼神警告安妮，让她不要管这件事。米内拍着地面，大叫着：“嗨嗨放开我！你们得让我去帮帮我的朋友！”但他的双腕被扣了个水手结，腰间的猎刀也给搜了出来。 阿黛尔惊慌地四顾，四周冷漠的目光像是高墙那样围绕着他们，她的眼泪对这些人毫无用处，哥哥的痛苦也打动不了他们，他们无动于衷。 时隔多年，阿黛尔再一次清楚地感受到了这个世界的恶意，仿佛回到了翡冷翠，回到了那座威严的审判堂，她和哥哥被居高临下的目光围绕，那些人俯视他们，审判他们，无论她怎么哭喊怎么求救都得不到任何回应。 “辩护驳回！辩护驳回！辩护驳回！”他们的声音在高处隆隆作响。 而哥哥呢……哥哥咬紧了牙关，仿佛牙齿里咬着生铁，无论那些男人怎么定他的罪，他都不辩解，于是那些男人就越发的讨厌他，把他的罪定的更重。 其实他早已筋疲力尽了啊，其实他的身体里早就满是疮痍了啊，他孤独地站在那幽深的圣堂里，强硬的梗着脖子，目光像是荧荧的鬼火。 你们还想怎么样？你们还想怎么样？被你们审判和嘲讽的这个男孩已经一无所有了啊，你们还想从他那里夺走什么？不受控制的情绪如灼热的岩浆沿着血管流淌……平生第一次，阿黛尔在心底诅咒这座曾经带给她平安和幸福的马斯顿小城，因为它伤害了哥哥。 大概连那位高高在上的神都不喜欢哥哥吧，每个人都是神的孩子，哥哥也是神的孩子……可他是神的逆子。 罗曼神父也有些踌躇，这种情形下把这对兄妹关进禁闭室去似乎显得不太人道。于是所有人都退开了几步，看着女孩用尽全力拖着她痛苦的哥哥去向饮水泉边。没有药物也没有糖，更没有医生的辅助，阿黛尔仅能做到的事情就是喂西泽尔点水，用水浸湿裙角敷在他的额头上。但她首先得把哥哥弄到饮水泉边去。 偌大的教堂里回荡着女孩的哭声，就像一只被从鸟群里驱逐出去的知更鸟在夜幕下哀叫。西泽尔虽然瘦削，但娇小的阿黛尔想要拖动他还是很不容易，她纤细的脖子上青筋凸出，额发垂下来遮住面容，人们只能看见泪水漫过她的脸在下颌上汇聚，仿佛流不完的山泉。 几位男士终于受不了了，上前一步，想着帮这个女孩把她哥哥挪到饮水泉边去总是绅士该做的事。可那边玛德琳夫人又开始捶着心口号啕大哭，喋喋不休的祈求着神怜悯他这可怜的妇人。她那么虔诚地信着神爱着神，却被魔鬼般的孩子侮辱。 原本要帮忙的手最终还是缩了回去，没有人愿意当众背叛自己的阶级地位。他们是马斯顿本地人，是高高在上的老家族，理应团结在一起，即使那对兄妹看起来有点可怜，即使阿黛尔那么美，可仍不是他们中的一员。 沉默中，风雨声变得格外清晰，沉重的黑铁大门在震动，好像全世界的雨水都被聚拢起来浇在了这座教堂的屋顶上。雨水冲门缝下方浸了进来，混着枯枝败叶。骑警队长的脸色有些难看，马斯顿位于半山，雨水太大的话会造成山洪，山洪规模可大可小，小型的山洪会顺着城市旁边的泄洪沟流走，大型的山洪却会冲破城市上方的防洪坝，带着枯枝败叶和碎木浩浩荡荡地席卷全城。历史上马斯顿曾经重建了两次，就是因为被山洪摧毁。偏偏是这个时候，城里抽不出人手去盯着山上的水势。所谓“屋漏偏逢连夜雨”大概就是这回事。 “你们几个去找些碎布来！把门缝堵住！”骑警队长下令。 没人去管西泽尔和阿黛尔了，骑警们匆忙的扯下几张帷幕去堵塞门缝，向着教堂内部避让。阿黛尔终于拖着哥哥挪动到了饮水泉边，撩起裙摆浸入水中，想把湿润的裙摆塞进哥哥嘴里让他好歹喝点水。但西泽尔在剧痛中牙关紧扣，连点水都喝不进去。 “请帮帮我！请帮帮我们！求求你们！”阿黛尔环顾四周，可无人回应她的目光。饮水泉所在的区域正好是门前，冰冷的雨水流淌着逼近她，漫过她的膝盖。门缝里渗进来的雨水把她淋得湿透。她仿佛坐在无尽的暴雨中，所能做的事情只是抱紧她似乎正在死去的哥哥。 “孩子，你不要害怕，因为我与你同在。不要惊慌，因为我是你的神。我必坚固你，我必帮助你，我必用我公义的右手扶持你。”她抚摸着哥哥的额头，念诵着弥赛亚圣教的祈祷词，此时此刻能够帮助她的，大概也只有那在至高无上的神了。 滚滚的雷声由远及近，那沉重的铁门猛然洞开，那一刻紫色的电蛇撕裂夜空，漆黑的人影站在教堂门口，风声仿佛狮吼，教堂中的烛火被疾风压得矮下身去，半数以上的火光在门开的瞬间熄灭。 那扇门本该是锁死的！ 骑警队长在这忽如其来的变故中流露出野兽般的警觉，后腰交叉的火铳滑入双掌，直指那个黑影。他没有问话，也不准备问话。他的真实身份是高文共和国的精英战士，此时此刻马斯顿处于一个极特殊的时间段，一切的危险因素都要排除。黑影有任何进攻的表示，骑警队长就会对准他的膝盖开枪。 风过去之后，烛火重新升起。教堂内的亮度恢复了，那个忽然闯入的黑影就站在阿黛尔和西泽尔面前，暗红色长发在风里起落。轻盈的裙摆也在风里起落，脚下是四下满溢的雨水，她那么纤细修长，便如水上盛开的莲花。 竟然是个女孩。骑警队长愣住了。“什么人？”他严厉的喝问。 “来自东方的魔女哦。”女孩清清浅浅地笑着，仿佛从画中走来。
