Villain Lord: Both The Player And The Protagonist Want To Kill Me

Chapter 808: Memories (2)

In the end the knights found nothing.

They came with a rumble and left with a rumble.

Leaving behind a mess and a portrait.

Also known as a witch.

Moore went to the choir to study every weekend, and the priest there who did not know what god he believed in told him what a witch was.

Witches are a group of people who are bewitched by demons and gain forbidden powers.

They can cause great harm to those around them.

In order to prove that this harm is really serious, the priest also gave many examples:

For example, a certain witch burned a certain village to ashes, or a certain witch froze all her relatives and neighbors into ice sculptures, which sounds terrible.

Moore believes that witches are evil and should be killed by everyone!

At least that's what he thought before he saw the portrait.

But when he saw the portrait, he collapsed.

Because the person in the portrait is none other than his sister Vanessa.

How could Vanessa be a witch?

Moore absolutely did not believe this.

Vanessa has lived with him since he could remember.

The two depended on each other.

He knew Vanessa's kindness and gentleness best. Even people in the village who had had some contact with Vanessa were full of praise for Vanessa. Vanessa was beautiful, careful, and ingenious. She was the best in the village. Young men all like her and it is difficult for them to find any fault in Vanessa.

A wanted order has been issued, and Moore begins to worry about Vanessa's safety.

Sure enough, when it was time to take vacation, Vanessa didn't come back.

It was not until the second week after the wanted order was issued that after the third group of knights had searched the village, one rainy night, there was a gentle knock on the door of More's room.

He opened the door and took a look.

Standing outside was a soaked and ragged Vanessa.

You can only vaguely tell from the color of the fabric that this was once a maid's skirt.

Vanessa collapsed to the ground before she could say a word to Moore. Half a month of running away made her physically weak. Coupled with the mental stress and being drenched in the cold rain, she unfortunately contracted a very serious cold. .

Maul tried to use the only divine magic he knew.

But that crappy purification technique didn't have much effect at all.

Moore had no choice.

He couldn't watch his sister die here, let alone take her away in the heavy rain.

In the end, he could only spend all his savings and go to the village chief's house, begging the village chief to save his sister.

Apart from him, the village chief is the person who knows Vanessa best.

In Moore's eyes, the old village chief was like his father!

As it turns out, Moore was right.

In the middle of the night, the village chief braved the heavy rain and came to Moore's house to check on Vanessa's condition.

But he found that Vanessa's forehead was hot and her body felt like it was about to burn.

A fever that reached Vanessa's level could no longer be cured by herbal medicine. Finally, the village chief proposed to go to a nearby big city to buy holy water. A bottle of pure holy water costs 100 gold coins, and a bottle of diluted holy water costs 10 gold coins. Legend has it that the diluted holy water can heal. All diseases, pure holy water can bring the dead back to life.

It's just that neither Moore nor the village chief could get out 10 gold coins together.

So, the next morning, Moore and the village chief announced what happened to Vanessa, and with the help of the villagers, they collected 10 gold coins to buy back the diluted holy water.

Holy water is holy water, and the effect is incredible. Vanessa actually recovered under the treatment of holy water.

But then we faced a more serious problem.

That's how Vanessa should be dealt with.

Putting aside whether Vanessa is a witch or not, the fact that the lord's knights are looking for her is already a headache.

Vanessa, who had just recovered from illness, had a pretty face and was pale. In front of the whole village, she swore that she was not a witch. However, when the villagers asked what happened at the lord's place, Vanessa always held her head and said, With a pained look on her face, she said she couldn't remember anything.

Both Moore and the village chief believe that Vanessa is not a witch.

But in order to reassure the villagers, it was also to pay back the money.

Vanessa and Moore decided to provide labor to the villagers for free.

No matter what kind of work there is, they are willing to help, hoping that this can convince the villagers of Vanessa's innocence and slowly pay off the debt.

At the same time, I also hope that the villagers can help hide the fact that Vanessa is still in the village.

Every time the knight came to inspect, the village chief hid Vanessa in the secret cellar of the warehouse.

A long time passed like this, and nothing special happened to Vanessa.

Plus she works very hard.

Gradually, the small village seemed to have returned to its former quiet and peaceful appearance.

something unexpected may happen any time.

Finally, the sixth group of knights visited the village again.

This time, the armor of the knight leading the team was even more gorgeous, and even the sword on his back shone with a mysterious light. A pair of sharp eyes in the helmet scanned the audience, and no one dared to look at him.

"We are looking for Vanessa! You may not know what she did... She almost burned the Lord's eldest son to death when she was working at the Lord's house, so if you see her, you must report it immediately, The lord will pay 500 gold coins as a bonus!"

Before leaving, the knight left a wanted notice.

He deliberately glanced at Moll and said coldly:

"It is a capital crime to harbor a witch. I hope you will not hide yourself in this trap!"

After the knights left for a long time, the village chief held a small meeting in his relatively large wooden house and called in all the adults in the village who could make decisions.

But compared to last time, everyone seemed a little silent.

Only Moll and Vanessa sat uneasily in the corner.

This time, Vanessa was completely confirmed as a wanted criminal. Helping a wanted criminal is a capital crime, and harboring a witch is also a capital crime. If the two crimes are added together, wouldn't it mean death by a thousand cuts?

But as long as you take Vanessa out with a wanted warrant, you can get a reward of 500 gold coins.

These gold coins are distributed to every household in the village, and everyone's quality of life can be improved to a higher level.

"Winesa grew up in the village. We all know what kind of person she is. Moreover, Vanessa has been helping us with our work during this period. One day when there was almost no rest except for sleeping and eating, she said that Vanessa is a witch and I am Don’t believe it.”

The village chief was the first to express his stance with a stern face.

The surrounding villagers looked at each other and said nothing.

After a few casual discussions, the matter was settled.

However, the amiable villagers seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

Usually when Vanessa is particularly tired at work, the villagers will express their condolences or offer to let Vanessa rest for a while.

But starting from today, things gradually changed.

Even if Vanessa worked all day, the surrounding villagers would just look on coldly, and even deliberately add more work to Vanessa.
