Chapter 34 Chapter Twenty Nine

evening prayer Salvatore utters an amazing spell This dinner for the delegation was exquisite and delicious.The Abbot must have been well acquainted with the frailties of human nature and the customs of the Holy See (I must say that Brother Michael's Order of Menoret was not offended either).The cook told us that the blood of a freshly slaughtered pig was meant to be used in blood pudding, but that Venantius' horrific death made them prefer to throw all the blood away after the pig had been slaughtered. .I believe that at that time everyone abhorred the idea of ​​killing God's creation.However, we had pigeon stew with vegetables, local wine, as well as roast rabbit, pies from Santa Clare, rice with almonds from the mountains - the snack of the day - and glazed cakes, olives, fried cheese , mutton with raw peppers, white beans and delicate desserts, St. Bernard, St. Nicholas pie, St. Lucie pudding, and good wine and liqueurs to ease everyone's mood (even the usually stern ones) Bernard Gouy also appears cheerful).It was a lot like a sumptuous meal, except that every sip of wine or food was accompanied by reverent recitation.

When the meal was over, all rose cheerfully, and some avoided going to the chapel for vespers on the pretext of being ill.But the dean has to go no matter what. My curiosity kept me lingering in the kitchen after the monks had gone.They're ready to lock it up.I saw Salvatore slipping into the courtyard with a bundle under his arm.I became more curious, followed him, and called out to him.He tried to avoid me, but when I asked him what was in the package (moving around in it), he replied that it was a strange snake. "A strange snake that dwells in caves! The king of boa constrictors, it is very poisonous! Even the stench on its body can cause people to choke to death after smelling it! It is very poisonous... There are black spots on its back, its head looks like a fox, and it is half of its body Stretch up, wrap half of your body on the ground, like other snakes. It will kill Belula..."

"Belula?" "Yes! A rodent, a little bigger than a mouse, also called a muskrat. Like a snake and a porta. When they bite him, Belura goes to Fenikira, bites him, and Back to betta chili. They say it gives off a smell, but most of what they say is wrong." I really couldn't understand his strange assortment of words, so I asked him what he was doing with a strange snake.He said that was none of my business.This brought my curiosity to its peak. I said that so many people had died in the past few days, and no one could keep any secrets. I was going to tell William right away.So Salvatore begged me not to tell the story, and opened the package to show me - it turned out to be a black cat.He pulled me closer to him, showing an ambiguous smile, and said that he didn't want to let the powerful administrator, or the young and handsome me, enjoy the love of the village girl again, because he was ugly and strange, and no girl would stay with him.But he knew a powerful spell which would make every woman yield to love.As long as you kill a black cat first, dig out its two eyes, then take two eggs laid by a black hen, and put the two eyeballs into the two eggs (he took two more eggs) Show me and swear it's from the black hen), and put the eggs in a pile of horse manure until they stink (he's already got a pile of horse manure in a corner of the vegetable garden where no one will go ), at this time each egg will give birth to a little devil, and they will obey your orders and obtain all the joy in this world for you.He sighed again, and told me, but for the magic to work, the woman he loved had to spit on the two eggs before they were buried in horse manure.He was very troubled by this problem, because he had to go to the woman who didn't know where to go, and let her complete the ritual without knowing where she was. ※Bandhammer Academy's E-Book※

I suddenly felt a rush of heat, on my face, or in my internal organs, or all over my body.I asked Salvatore in a low voice if I was going to take the girl to the convent that night.He laughed and mocked that I was already in lust (I said I wasn't, but I just asked casually out of curiosity).Then he said there were many women in the village and he would bring up another one, even prettier than the one I liked.I think he probably lied to me and wanted to send me away.What can I do anyway?How could I follow William all night while he was waiting for another operation?Can I meet the girl I want so badly but really shouldn't?Of course not.So I convinced myself that what Salvatore said was true, at least the part about women.Otherwise all he said was lies, and the spells he described were nothing but the foolish fantasies of his superstitious mind, and he could do nothing.

I felt a little annoyed, and roughed him up, telling him he'd better go to bed that night, because the monastery was patrolled by archers.He replied that he knew the monastery better than the archers, and that with the mist that night, no one could see the other.In fact, he added, now that I'm gone, you'll never see me again, even if I'm two feet away having fun with that girl you want.He said it in different words, but that was the gist.I left angrily. A noble apprentice monk like me can't afford to argue with someone as vulgar as him. I found William and proceeded with the plan.We were going to the back of the chapel for vespers, and when the service was over, we entered the maze for the second time (for me, the third time).
