The sheriffs discussed the experience of the ghost, and then expressed their gratitude to Gallo. Although their consciousness was very vague at that time, they still remembered some, and knew that Gallo saved everyone.
Of course, some people were very curious about what happened next, and asked Gallo what happened after they fainted, and Gallo answered truthfully:
"There are a bunch of people-eating plants in the woods, which are very dangerous. I burned them all before I rescued you."
"Burned?"
The sheriffs couldn't help being stunned. Compared with the plants that eat people, their professional habits caused them to care more about the idea of setting fire...
Set fire to the mountain, and sit in prison. Although there are magic and divine arts in this world, once the mountain fire burns, it is still very dangerous. This is an absolute felony! He will be arrested and thrown into prison, tortured and beaten!
They subconsciously thought that Gallo used ordinary flames to burn the plants...
Luckily nothing worse happened! Otherwise, those mages will ask for a lot of money...
Of course, even if the wildfire was triggered, no one would think of catching Gallo, and they all vowed to help Gallo keep the secret.
As for Wendy...
She seemed to be in a bad mood, didn't talk to her, curled up in a corner of the car, tightly hugged her legs with only broken stockings, lowered her head, rested her chin on her knees, the expression on her face It also changes frequently, sometimes shy, sometimes angry, sometimes ashamed, but always red...
I don't know what else I'm thinking about
A group of people rode an ox cart all the way back to the city of innocence, and then went to Miya church, asking the old bishop to help treat the cold and fever on their bodies.
Although the old bishop did not refuse, he treated 20 people in one go, and he was so tired that he was out of breath, dizzy, and almost couldn't stand still.
Seeing this, the magistrates also felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly collected their money and stuffed it into the offering box.
When leaving, Wentini stayed at the end, staring at Gallo eagerly, his big eyes blinking non-stop, looking at flickering, and falteringly said:
"I... I'm leaving... Going back to report on the situation..."
"Don't worry, you saved us, we will definitely not reveal what you set on fire..."
"If... if you are free..."
As Wentini spoke, she was suddenly at a loss for words, her pretty face blushed for an unknown number of times, and finally managed to force out a sentence:
"If you're free, you can... you can come to our side and report on what happened last night!"
After speaking, she left with a little dejection.
Gallo watched her leave, and asked suspiciously:
"Lieutenant Wendini's condition is not very good? It seems that he is very sick? Your magic spell didn't work?"
"How is it possible? I am very good at healing magic."
The old bishop spoke confidently, without blushing or panting, how could he still look as tired as before
"But why does she look so depressed?"
Gallo asked curiously again.
"If you just took advantage of the opportunity to ask her out for dinner, her mood would improve immediately."
The old bishop replied meaningfully.
"Oh, that's it. She must be hungry. Thinking about it, she was caught by those plants. She hasn't eaten all day..."
"I should have baked a potato for her earlier..."
"Oh, I'm still not careful enough after all!"
After Gallo finished speaking, he made a few self-examinations in his heart.
"well... "
The old bishop sighed helplessly, then asked again:
"What happened last night?"
Gallo then told him about the incident, and then took out that strange stone like a sea urchin from his bosom.
"Anyway, it's very strange. Those plants are dangerous even if they say they are dangerous. After all, they want to eat people, and they can also emit hallucinogenic poisonous gas, which makes people crazy, talk nonsense, and even want to bite people!"
Gallo said with lingering fear, and then added:
"However, apart from being able to move and eat people, they don't have much wisdom. They are also very afraid of the Holy Flame. Are plants really afraid of fire?"
"Well... they may not be afraid of the Holy Flame..."
The old bishop hesitated to speak, and looked at the stone carefully, then went back to his room, found several books and notes, and looked through them for a long time.
Gallo was waiting for him to look through the information, while making various guesses:
"This matter must be the handiwork of those cultists, right? Only they can do such insane acts of cannibalism!"
"Of course, it's also possible that those sinister and vicious mages did it, and they can do this kind of thing!"
"They must want to cultivate an army of man-eating plants, and then counterattack the city of innocence! Eat up all the people in the city, even the little milk cat!"
"Of course, the defense of the city of innocence is very tight. They may also attack other cities and turn the whole country into a botanical garden that eats people! Then surround the city of innocence!"
"In the end, only the last bastion of the city of innocence is left, and the remaining human beings linger in it, eating potatoes every day..."
"Why are these people so bad and vicious? How can we kind and good people live peacefully?"
The old bishop didn't answer, but a few kittens were frightened, and hurriedly rubbed against Gallo's feet, meowing.
"Don't worry, with me, Jialuo, even if you risk your life, they won't let them succeed!"
Gallo said swearingly, then lowered his head and said to the little milk cats:
"So, you have to work hard, grow up quickly, and guard your city with me in the future!"
After hearing this, the old bishop finally couldn't bear to ask:
"What did you do when you were in your hometown?"
"Priest? He's still a very powerful priest. He fights against an evil organization called 'Blizzard' every day to protect world peace. He also competes with mages for equipment, so I hate mages the most..."
Gallo replied, followed by another question:
"Didn't I tell you this?"
"No, I think you might have written the script back then..."
The old bishop made a casual remark, and then brought up the topic again:
"It's basically certain that it's not man-made..."
"This stone is not an ordinary thing. It has a very high personality. It interferes with my divination... How could someone throw something so important in the wild without guarding it?"
"Even if there is really some evil conspiracy, you will not take the initiative to provoke the magistrate. Isn't that exposing yourself and arousing vigilance?"
After hearing this, Gallo hurriedly asked:
"Isn't it man-made? Is it still formed naturally?"
"Yes, this is really a rare natural phenomenon, which is called 'spiritualization' in the book..."
