Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 126
Serena is a witch, a real witch, she always admits it generously, but not many people believe it.
When she was sixteen years old, the power of witches was officially awakened – the spread of death and plague.
She used to live in a peaceful mountain village, not too far from Lisbon. In the words of city people, she was a child in the countryside. Her greatest joy was running in the fields every day and watching her father work in the fields.
Their home is a wooden hut built by their father. Although it looks a bit shabby, it provides shelter for them. Her mother often jokes that if she wants to go to the city to find a job as a carpenter, it might be better than planting better.
By the way, there are two pigs at home, and that is the responsibility of the mother every day.
Every year before Christmas, my father would catch up with two pigs, get on an ox cart from the farmhouse next door, and go to the big city of Lisbon.
It was the happiest day of the year. In the evening, my father would bring back two little piglets from the city, as well as a lot of small gifts, and Serena could also have new clothes to wear.
There is a large field of lavender at the back of the house. Every spring, when the lavender in the field blooms, the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers.
If nothing else, Serena will grow up quietly and happily, and will marry a young man from the same village, or marry into the city, her mother always smiles and says: “Selina, you It’s a princess, and the girls in the city don’t get any prettier than you.”
But all this was broken when she was sixteen. On the day she turned sixteen, she began to realize the difference. Wherever she walked, the flowers began to wither, the land became barren, the trees she stroked become rotten.
“What’s wrong with me?”
She looked at her hands and made the decision she regretted the most in her life, which was to run home.
After the parents knew about it, they just kept it secret and still loved their daughter.
“They say witches are hateful and kill countless people, but how could my daughter be such a person?”
Father touched her head and said kindly that night, even ignoring the dark spots on his hands.
……
Three days, just three days, the strong father couldn’t get sick, and the mother also began to have dark spots.
That day, the doctors and priests who covered their mouths and noses with white cloth shook their heads. It was the Black Death, and there was no cure. The only thing they could do was to remove other people in the village to prevent more people from getting infected. .
“Rats spread this disease, and there is no cure. Get out of here.”
Everyone in the same village wanted to bring Serena with her, but she insisted not to leave, because she knew that it was all because of herself, that she brought it all.
“Cough, Serena, if you leave here, you will also contract the Black Death…”
The mother wanted to push her away, but the father could no longer get out of bed and walk.
……
For three days, she almost shed all her tears. In the end, her parents didn’t even endure a week. Even the Black Death didn’t let people die so quickly. She dragged the bodies of her father and mother to bury them. Under the lavender, and live here alone.
She didn’t dare to touch other people. Serena, who was only fourteen years old, started to work with her hoe, but the plants withered and there was no harvest, and the originally fertile land became a dead place.
She doesn’t feel hungry either. She hasn’t eaten for a long time, but she hasn’t died. She is no longer a human being, but a witch.
In the days of becoming a witch, she began to feel her own abilities and began to be able to control them. She could even gradually see the souls of dead animals, infiltrating towards the earth, and then entering Gaia.
Gaia, she didn’t know why she was able to know this very unfamiliar name, but it suddenly appeared in her mind, and she began to learn a lot from it.
He was able to see many things in this world, and from it he learned how to do divination to understand the fate in the dark.
Three years have passed, and this land has become rich again. The name of the village that was moved away has returned to this land. All I can see is the lavender all over the mountains and a girl, Serena.
Someone witnessed the dead silence of this land, and Serena lived here for three full years.
“She’s a witch! His parents died because of her.”
“…”
Serena was silent, she couldn’t refute at all.
The angry and frightened villagers found priests and soldiers, and then searched for Serena all over the mountains.
She is a witch, but her physical quality is not much better than that of a human being, and the first power awakening in her life killed her parents, which made her feel incomparably disgusted and fearful of this power. Under the lavender, soldiers rode their horses, captured her, and handed it over to the so-called priest.
The pastor read some godly words, sprinkled some holy water, and then asked Serena to repent. Her expression was extremely pious. She was really praying for her parents and repenting of her sins.
“take away!”
The brutal shouting and shoving of the soldiers ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Serena was taken back again, because in this age of kingship, the king decided to put the witches on public trials and hang them, or is burnt.
This is to prove to people that the world is under the control of kingship, and even witches who ran rampant in the Middle Ages will eventually fall under the sharp blades of soldiers.
The greedy and rude soldiers simply didn’t believe that this was a witch, or that no one except the villagers who had seen the dead place with their own eyes believed that she was a witch.
In a certain dark night, the soldier quietly opened the door of the cell, trying to vent his desires on this beautiful woman.
“Since you are dying, why not enjoy this last beauty.”
“You know, I’m a witch?”
Serena smiled when she saw the rude and dirty man in front of her. She had never seen the dark side of human nature, but she saw that his face was extremely ugly.
The ending of this soldier is not the same as what the patrolling soldier said. The soldier directly bit off the thumbs of his two hands under the control of Serena, and then bit it and swallowed it. The scene was extremely bloody, but the soldier seemed to be there. Eat a delicacy.
Manipulating people’s minds is a kind of power that she learned in the next three years. Although she fears and hates this kind of power, she has to admit that it is a great, mysterious, and tempting power, and it is very useful.
Serena couldn’t help but explore this power every time.
She was once loaded into a prison car and entered the court for trial. She can understand the fear and abuse of ordinary people.
There seems to be no place in the whole world for him.
So she thought it would be good to stay in prison, so that he would have enough time to learn that knowledge from Gaia, because if she wanted to leave, no one could stop her.
