"Okay, Brother Jiang Xiao, let me tell you about Grandma Alania. First of all, she hates demons, but it's definitely not to the point of being willing to fight them to the death."
"I! I have a question to ask!"
The little pink-haired girl raised her hands high.
Why is my power having no effect on her?
Old Mrs. Alani glanced at her sideways, thinking to herself, "What a pretentious little girl!"
You already know why you asked me to put the cat down, didn't you? Why are you still asking?
"I only know the general idea. For more details, you can ask Grandma Alania. Her answer might be helpful for your four-day city trip."
David knew why, but he gave old lady Alaniya a chance to explain in order to ease the tension between them.
Chapter 197 Expanding Your Knowledge: A New Worldview
I could see the good intentions behind David's actions.
Grandma Alania stopped being stubborn and instead explained the existence of black cats to the little pink-haired girl.
"First of all, whether in the West or the East, some animals are born with spiritual abilities and the ability to ward off evil spirits. You should know that, right?"
Black cats are believed to have supernatural powers, and black dogs are believed to ward off evil spirits.
This is not only something that has been passed down orally from the elders of the Dragon Kingdom.
They can be found in some ancient Western texts and even children's adventure fairy tales.
For example, world-class children's magazines like "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" contain accounts of cats communicating with spirits.
These things subtly planted a seed of 'black cat psychic abilities' in people's hearts.
As for the black dog...
There are fewer Western documents on this point, but many Chinese records do.
For example, the black dog blood that often appears in movies and TV dramas
For example, the four-eyed, gold-plated Chinese rural dog is said by many elders to be a mythical beast under the seat of the Golden-Eyed Bodhisattva, and keeping it at home can ward off evil spirits and bring wealth.
There are many similar sayings about cats and dogs, but the sayings vary from place to place in China, and there are even more in the world.
But the only thing they have in common is that they all have a certain 'story' about them.
"So? Then your black cat is the kind that can communicate with spirits?"
Mu Xitang interrupted their rambling, as she was only concerned about why her abilities were repeatedly thwarted.
"My lovely little devil, as you can see, my black cat is not only psychic, but it can also effectively resist the evil power within you."
"Are there many of these animals in the town?" The perceptive Black girl asked the key question.
The old woman shook her head and said, "No, as far as I know, the only spiritual animal in the town of Morrow is my black cat."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
That is not bad.
Otherwise, if everyone had one of these, Little Pinky would be completely doomed.
"Are there any other animals like this outside of town?"
"You guys want to go outside?"
The old lady was clearly taken aback. Why would these people be so foolish as to go outside?
"Mrs. Alania, their group is not only going outside, but also to a city called the Romia Cathedral."
Upon hearing David's words, the old lady quickly waved her hand to end the conversation.
"No, no, no, David, I don't know much about the outside world. I've never heard of this church before. In short, the city outside is a true abyss of hell!"
When the city was mentioned, panic appeared in the eyes of the usually calm old lady for the first time.
Is it really that scary?
No matter how much the bearded man pressed her for answers, the old woman refused to respond.
Just tell them that the people in the city are very abnormal!
They refused to discuss anything else.
No one knew whether the old lady had truly never been to the city or simply didn't want to tell them anything about it.
"Alright, then tell me, why do you go to the clock tower to ring the bell at night?"
Well.
The old woman's eyes began to flicker, and she stammered, unwilling to say more about it.
"I, well, I'm just protecting the residents of Morrow town, and they all agree to the bell-ringing."
"Yes."
David also chimed in to the old lady.
“I can testify, or you can ask the villagers tomorrow during the day. Everyone knows about the bell-ringing, and none of them object.”
"Alright, Lady Alania, I have one last question. What are those lanterns hanging in every house in town for?"
"Please, strangers, stop asking these questions. If possible, I advise you not to go to the city, and definitely don't think that the priests at the Romia Cathedral can save you."
"Gentlemen, get some rest as soon as possible. If you want to travel early tomorrow, the rooms are on the second floor. You can choose any of them. Tonight, I'll do a loss and let you stay for free."
Even though everyone still had some doubts, they didn't want to force the issue since the other party wasn't going to say anything.
"Madam, do you have any donuts here? I'm starving right now." The bearded man was starving.
"Yes, you all go and rest first. David, could you go to the kitchen and get some food for these guests?"
“Yes, Mrs. Alaniya, I’d be happy to assist you.”
Not long after.
David then carried a large tray and delivered it to the people upstairs.
Looking at the table full of delicious food.
The three bearded men, who had been hungry for almost a day and a night, immediately began to feast.
Because they were afraid that sleeping separately would lead to accidents.
So the three of them shamelessly asked to sleep in the same room as Jiang Xiao and Mu Xitang.
Of course, the three of them can sleep on the floor.
The three of them showed off their food while discussing their understanding of what the old lady had said.
"I think the dangers in the city are far greater than in the town."
"Nonsense! What are you doing here?"
"But judging from her expression, she seemed to think we were going to the Romia Church to seek help from that priest or something."
"Brother Jiang Xiao, why haven't you said anything? Don't you have any thoughts?"
Jiang Xiao was examining the ancient sword that David had given him as compensation when, without thinking, he blurted out the answer to Curly's question.
"If they're blocking the way, I'll just bury them all. The more people there are, the more money I make."
Looking at the dazzling array of "spoils of war" at Jiang Xiao's feet.
The three of them were speechless for a moment. Jiang Shen didn't seem like someone who came to challenge the supernatural tales at all; he seemed more like someone who came to buy goods.
"Oh right, you can take these useless things. I don't want the little girl to get kidnapped again while I'm away."
Jiang Xiao gave the AK to Big Beard, then gave Curly a shotgun, and finally gave Black Girl two Golden Desert Eagles.
Faced with such a gift, the three of them scratched their heads in embarrassment.
After all, their previous performance was indeed somewhat unsatisfactory; they looked like pushovers no matter how you looked at it.
But now we have guns.
They are confident that they won't perform as poorly as before next time.
As for the level of danger in the city, Jiang Xiao knew it even without the three of them saying it.
None of those fancy, deadly rules have appeared yet!
"Madam, why don't you tell them what you know?"
After delivering the food, David did not return to his own room, but went to the old lady's bedroom.
"What is there to tell? Do these people really think the priest can help that pink demon cleanse itself of evil? That's impossible."
Alania had guessed it when she learned they were going to the Cathedral of Rome.
That powerful man named Jiang Xiao must have gone to the priest to help that pink demon cleanse itself of its evil power.
"So, Madam, you actually knew about the existence of this church, didn't you?"
Alaniya sighed.
She not only knew the church existed, she escaped from it!
