Deacon Andrei thought for a moment and said:"There is a tavern up ahead whose owner and I are better acquainted, and that tavern has a basement that is not used all year round, so it's a bit cleaner."
Lola said: "Very well."
The two followed Deacon Andre to the Gaffel Haus tavern at the corner of the old bazaar, Gaffel is another brand of Cologne beer, this tavern is operated by a brewery, where guests can drink the freshest and purest Gaffel beer.
As soon as they walked into the pub, the smell of fermented beer mixed with the noise hit them. The waiters wore blue aprons, carrying special trays for Cologne beer or trays with roasted pork knuckles and sausages, and their feet darted in and out of the tables. On seeing the three men enter, one of the waiters came forward, and on entering, recognising Deacon Andre, greeted them with the words, "Good evening, Mr Andre, are you three?"
Deacon Andre said, "Good evening, Peter, I'm looking for Schmidt."
The waiter said, "Oh, he's in his office, you can just go straight there."
The three walked through the noisy lobby of the pub and into the depths of the pub, a relatively quiet area, Andre knocked on a door and a red faced middle aged man opened the door and gave Deacon Andre a happy hug, he seemed to be a familiar friend.
"Use the basement, no problem, it's just that it's full of empty kegs, not very suitable for this beautiful lady." The tavern owner, Schmidt, said with a grin on his cigar.
The trio followed Schmidt to the basement level, a room with empty metal kegs yards away from the empty walls, and Lola nodded to Andrei in satisfaction.
After Schmidt left, Lola placed the small earthenware jug on the floor, and the pale white light emanating from her hand suddenly flashed intensely, hitting the small jug, while Lola said, "Come out!"
A translucent humanoid shadow suddenly appeared in the sky above the pot, and the shadow looked like a young girl wearing a long dress of an aristocratic woman from the western region of Europe in the fifth century. The shadow girl appeared to show a look of fear, suddenly opened her mouth and let out a sharp whistling, the whistling was extremely shrill, Lola and shaun could still bear it, but Deacon Andrei could not bear it and covered his ears, bending down in pain.
shaun reacted faster, and backhanded Deacon Andre into unconsciousness, so as not to harm his hearing. Lola also didn't expect this apparition to react so strongly and openly roar as soon as it
2 / 5
came up, regretting that she hadn't brought a small pot of greenery down just now, the floor of this basement was cement plastered, very dense, and it was also difficult to summon plants out from the ground.
Although it has triggered the spirit touch, but Lola and shaun also do not want to directly attack to hurt this ghost, after all, is looking out to talk.
shaun, in a moment of desperation, forced himself to hold back the piercing whine and made a forward lunge to pick up the clay pot, holding it high above his head and shouting loudly in English and German respectively, "Stop! Or I'll drop it!"
Perhaps it was shaun's movement and loud chiding that did the trick, the apparition stopped its shrill whistling and then let out a wailing cry.
shaun breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt a blast of wind above his head while Lola shouted, "Look out!"
shaun only had time to try his best to deflect his head, then he felt a strong blow on his shoulder, hitting his body flew up and fell out, hitting those empty metal wine barrels, his shoulder bone was in pain, fortunately shaun remembered to protect the pottery pot in his hand when he fell down, which was like using his own body to make a meat cushion for the pottery pot.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that Lola had already fought with an apparition in a solid form, dressed as a European medieval warrior.
This samurai dressed ghost was also a female! This clay pot turned out to be hiding two ghosts!
Shaun struggled to sit up and disarmed the Spirit Touch skill with the Secret Stone in his hand, then reminded Lola: "Disarm the skill so she can't hit you!"
But it was as if Lola didn't hear it, pinging ping ping pinging as she fought the female warrior ghost so hard that she was obviously fighting out of fire. Lola's body functions were much better than those of normal people, and although her secret stone stacked skills were not combat-type, they were still not something an ordinary person could withstand.
But that female samurai ghost is also a punch and kick with a board, powerful, and the ghost has taken advantage of the shape of the floating body, and quickly gained the upper hand.
Shaun looked a little anxious, thought, ran out of the basement, back to the dining room, with a sweep of the eyes, found a potted plant, rushed over to pick up and ran back to the basement.
At this time the female warrior ghost's fists like rain, Lola has obviously fallen in the wind, see Shaun brought the green plant, immediately catalysed skills.
3 / 5
Shaun felt a heavy weight in his hand, the green plant branches and vines grew rapidly, first binding the first ghost, then pulling the female warrior ghost's feet, trapping her in the air.
"Stop fighting, we're here for help!" shaun, who had finally seized the opportunity, shouted again in English and German respectively.
The first apparition tied up, who had been frightened and about to shrill again, heard shaun's words and made no sound for the time being, looking at shaun and Lola in horror.
The female warrior apparition in the air was bound and unable to launch another attack, her form floating around in the air, glaring angrily at Lola.
"Stop attacking, we just have something we want to ask you!" shaun held up his hands in a friendly gesture, repeating it in German and English respectively.
Lola chimed in, "You're good, I'm no match for you without using my skills. No more fighting and I'll cut you guys loose."
The spiky ghost looked timidly at the female warrior, who floated angrily through the air for a moment longer before finally stopping and speaking, "Why are you disturbing us?" It was spoken in an oddly accented English, rather ancient in style.
shaun really breathed a sigh of relief this time: "We would like to ask you to answer some questions, and then we will help you find a suitable stealthy place."
Seeing the female warrior calm down, Lola let go of the branches and vines.
The female warrior got free and floated in the air and asked, "What questions do you have?"
shaun and Lola looked at each other and Lola asked, "You've been hiding in this pot?"
The warrior woman asked, "Yes, ever since we were killed by the pagans, Sophia and I have been hiding in this jug, which Princess Ursula brought with her from her homeland, and we feel safe in it. We slept in it until the jug was excavated but thankfully it was bought and sort of calmed down again, we continued to sleep in that wine cooler for but ten years before we were woken up again just ten or so days ago." Lola asked, "Woken up for what?"
Upon hearing this question, the spiky ghost Sophia wailed again, her cries filled with fear.
The female warrior ghost said with a grave expression, "Attila's blood."
"Attila's blood?" shaun and Lola asked at the same time.
The female warrior nodded, and Sophia cried louder beside her.
4 / 5
shaun quickly combined that answer with one of the other clues in his head and came up with a surprising answer.
"Attila the Whip of God?" Lola asked in surprise.
If there was a Daemon that the European mind thought had ever appeared in European history, the Hitler we were familiar with could only be considered a younger generation. In the middle of the fifth century A.D., Attila the Hun, who was later called "God's Whip" by the Europeans, led the Hun army to sweep across Europe, killing people, and was a nightmare in the minds of the Europeans.
Back then, Attila had led his army all the way to the north of Italy, and Venice was founded when people chose the mouth of the Po River to establish a refuge from the massacre of Attila's cavalry.
"When you say Attila's blood, is it that bloodstain on a short sword?" shaun asked tentatively.
"Yes, that sword was Princess Ursula's defence sword, when Attila tried to desecrate Princess Ursula and was slashed by the princess, Attila killed the princess in a rage. Of course, he would have to step over my body before he could harm the princess. I have already died at my post guarding the princess first." The female warrior spoke angrily.
shaun and Lola looked at each other and both saw shock in the other's eyes.
From the not-so-long narration of the female warrior's apparition, they had already deduced the full picture of what happened in conjunction with what had happened before.
Legend has it that when Saint Ursula returned from Rome with eleven thousand pilgrim virgins, she passed through Cologne just in time for Attila to lead the Hun army to attack Cologne, and so the pilgrim virgins were all killed by these pagan armies.
Sophia, the wailing ghost, was one of the 11,000 pilgrim virgins, and after being killed, her spirit and that of the warrior woman did not dissipate for some unknown reason, but was hidden in the kettle that Ursula carried with her to sleep.
And the unearthing of the short sword with the bloodstain ten days or so ago had frightened Sophia. Consequently, she cried and wandered every night, and was seen by Hessel, who was born with psychic sight.
Nothing could frighten Sophia more than the bloodstain that still carried the scent of the Archdemon King Attila. The fear of seeing her sisters slaughtered before her eyes, and herself dying by the sword of a murderer, had not subsided even after fifteen hundred years.
5 / 5
And the unearthing of the short sword had disturbed not only ghosts like Sophia, but also nature spirits that had existed for eons.
The horrors of the mass destruction of life fifteen hundred years ago had caused the nature spirits to feel sadness and fear. And since Attila's army fought as far as Ravenna in the Western Roman Empire and south of the Alps was not spared, the unease of the Alpine Mist people is explained.
But was it only Attila's aura emanating from the short sword that the nature spirits feared?
"The agents of the Demon World don't want something as simple as a holy relic, they want the blood of Attila on the short sword!" shaun and Lola simultaneously summed up such a terrifying conclusion.
Currently in the Spirit Realm, the Spirit World had the overall advantage in the fight against the Demon Spirits, and the Demon Spirits belonged to the guerrilla state, hiding in the depths of the Spirit Realm and not daring to appear easily. Once the blood of Attila was used as a medium to create a boundary for Attila in the spirit world using a special sacrifice ceremony, then the demonic spirits would have a base from which they could fight against the Spirit World.
"Wake up Andre, we need to notify the church immediately and have them contact the Vatican. We also need to contact the Imperium, we need help. The Demon Agent won't just send an assassin of that calibre to take care of this." Lola said.
"I'm going to go find the short sword as soon as I can, that's the most important thing right now!" shaun said with a frown.
Lola said: "Don't, wait until the help arrives, I'm afraid that finding the short sword too early is falling into the other side's plan, maybe the other side is secretly spying on us, waiting for us to get the short sword so that we can start to grab it. You can go to look for clues, to determine the place to hide the short sword do not reveal the sound, secretly monitoring not to be the other side to get it."
shaun combat self-confidence was hit a little, but also can only nod his head and say: "reasonable, I will go to look for clues."
-------------------------------------------- split line ------------------------------------
"God's Whip" Attila in the minds of Europeans is a similar existence to Genghis Khan, he was born in 406 AD, and the martyrdom of Saint Ursula is recorded to have occurred at the end of the fourth century, so the one who killed Ursula should not be Attila.
