Friar Albrecht looked at the dazzling golden patch of gold in front of him, where lay a line of words that had just been written:
"Here is wisdom. Whoever understands can calculate the number of the beast. For it is the number of man; his number is six hundred and sixty-six."
He deeply understood what this line of text represented. It was the text of Chapter 1, Verse 18 of the book "Revelation".
6 is an imperfect number because of the appreciation of 7 in the Bible. God created the world in 7 days, there are 7 days in a week, there are 7 books of Revelation, etc. So 7 represents perfection and 8 represents super perfection. Three consecutive 6s are the code for the devil in the Bible.
These words that I usually copy are shining with golden light. They seemed so gorgeous and dazzling before. Why now I just feel cold in my hands and feet, and my brain feels like it is being run over by countless wheels, causing me to feel dizzy.
The feeling of helplessness is spreading, is something going to happen
Friar Albrecht stomped up and down the room with his head in his hands. It seems that heavy steps can make the mind clearer.
He simply opened the door. It was just past midnight, the darkest time of the day.
While looking out, Monk Alberich noticed a vague figure swaying in the distance. The wind blew on his body, and he felt instantly chilled to his heart.
The strange feeling deepened. In front of the figure was a dark moonlight swaying there, and behind him was the darkness that invaded his heart. As he walked slowly, the light was swallowed up by the darkness bit by bit.
Friar Alberich felt his legs were weak and leaned against the door, just watching the figure slowly go away.
He stood like this until the sky slowly brightened, and the darkness receded like a tide. Several miserable roars came from the backyard, and the limp limbs suddenly gained power. It was the sheep, the sick sheep.
I stumbled to the backyard. One of the poor sheep was twitching hard on the ground. Its fur was still wet to the touch. I fetched a basin of water and tried to wash it, but I found that there were faint black spots on the skin on its abdomen. He didn't know if it was because he didn't sleep all night, but he felt that the spots were slowly expanding. The other ones are not in good condition either. They can no longer stand firmly and are walking with a staggering pace, just like an old man who shakes a few steps and is about to be blown down by the wind at any time.
He watched with distress as the sheep twitched on the ground. Its fur had been scratched and blood was oozing faintly. However, the sheep was twitching like crazy until pools of blood foam appeared on the ground. It was vomited by the sheep. His head hung weakly on the ground and would never be raised again.
Looking before me, I thought about last night again. He immediately packed himself up and rushed to Kaffa City.
But after he reported it to his superiors, they ignored him at all, thinking that he was just living in a remote place for a long time, which put too much mental pressure on himself. Could it be that when he stopped copying the scriptures, he wrote that One paragraph is the revelation given by the Lord. This is too far-fetched. Even if you say you heard it in a dream, it is a better reason than this. If a sheep vomits blood, it means it is sick. Alas, this poor man must have lost his mind after staying in that desolate place for more than five years.
Although he was not kicked out, and he still had dozens of dollars given by them in his hand, he knew in his heart that he was not good at eloquence, and they had not experienced it in real life, so they would not believe everything they said and that they needed to be thoroughly investigated. To comfort himself, Brother Alberich wandered the streets and secretly said to himself, my poor sheep, I will never let you die in vain, I must find the murderer.
Who is the most powerful person in Kaffa? Of course Sir Cross!
When he stood in front of Sir Cross and Queen, he could already express his thoughts fluently. It was much more complete and fluent than the previous speech to the supervisor, and he also expressed his thoughts in a stronger tone:
"Sir, just as the Lord predicted, darkness will fall on this land, and the world will be full of sin and disaster. Just look at those sheep. Before they died, their mouths and corners were full of blood, and their skin was black. Only demons He and his followers only drink blood!”
When Brother Alberich said this, he looked at the expressions of the knight and queen in front of him, and finally added: "The last scene I saw was that a demon came to the city of Kaffa in the night, and his The magic power was too strong and I couldn't move at all, so I couldn't see his face clearly, so I could only watch him leave. That road could only lead to Kaffa City, so I thought he must have come to the city! "
"Very good, I already understand the whole process of the matter." Sir Cross thought a little. "There is indeed something fishy going on. I will send someone to investigate. You can bring the sheep back to have a look. Manager, we have bought the sheep. You can return it first."
Naturally, someone took him down.
"What does the Queen think of this matter?" After Sir Cross sent everyone around him away, he lowered his voice and asked the Queen.
"This thing sounds weird, a sheep vomiting blood before it dies." The queen gently shook her fan. "However, the way of death is a bit bizarre. Could it be poisoning? Otherwise, I have never heard of a sick sheep vomiting blood and dying!"
"He has lived there alone for five years, dealing with scriptures every day." Sir Cross was moved in his heart.
"It's possible to be confused. It's possible to make a fuss when a sheep dies!"
"Queen, the devil he said and his followers..." Sir Cross did not finish his words, but stared into the queen's eyes.
Who else could be a believer in the devil? Yes - a witch! Thinking of this, the queen smiled, she understood.
"Since the Lord has lowered his will and the devil is about to come, we have to investigate further. Cross, you must catch them all," the queen ordered with a slight smile.
"Yes!" Sir Cross also smiled.
That figure was none other than Huang Xuan who came out of Kaffa City. He found a few houses that had not yet collapsed near the old city and filled them with food. Some of the food was even piled on the open ground. Lorraine had already checked, and there was only one person living in the church in front of him. He wanted to leave directly without being disturbed, but when he glanced at it, he knew that he had been discovered. He had to know that he had passed by. After receiving special training, the improvement of his eyesight was good, but what if he was discovered? Huang Xuan didn't care about it at all. Besides, he was so far away and it was dark. Even if he was discovered, he believed that the other party would not even know about him. I can't even see his appearance clearly.
What he is thinking about now is how to deal with Reinhardt and the materials that are about to be traded so that he will not be suspected.
The walls of Kaffa City are 5 meters high, but for Huang Xuan, asking Lorraine to add some anti-gravity, a little run-up, and a little bit of both feet, the person flew over lightly, which was a bit like Qinggong.
He was arranged in a room facing the street on the second floor of the Jazz Palace, so he jumped out of the window, but he did not go back to the bedroom directly because there was someone in his room. Although there was no light on, Lorraine already knew that there was someone inside. A person is a woman. Since she was in the room, she naturally knew that he had been gone for a long time.
