I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

It's even more humid than Skye here, with a hint of chill. Although Char's appearance is not as eye-catching as Alicia's, in order to avoid trouble, he still put on a cloak, covering most of his appearance. .

They walked through the forest and came across a small abandoned village. The houses in the village were all low-rise brick and earth houses about two meters tall. The bluestone-paved path was soaked with water vapor.

Not far away, a slender waterfall flew down, washing out a small lake.

The village looks like it has not been inhabited for a long time. Many broken tiles have fallen to the ground and are covered with moss. The buildings must be at least from the medieval period.

After passing through the abandoned village, they never found such a gathering village again.

Except for some places where water resources are scarce, many rural houses are very scattered. There are no neat rows of houses like small towns. Most of them are built next to their own farmland or pasture.

But from a visual inspection of the surrounding houses, the population of this valley should be around 500 to 1,000. The streets are all dirt roads and are muddy after rain.

Suddenly, Xia Ya seemed to notice something, raised her head slightly and looked at the roof of a certain house.

On the ridge of the roof, a young man wearing special clothes and a hood was secretly observing them. When Xia turned his attention, he hurriedly hid behind the house.

"There seems to be someone watching us over there." Sebastian stared at the ridge of the roof not far away and said, "Do you need me to go over there and deal with it?"

Xia Ya calmly shook his head, "It's okay."

"Is he someone you know?" Sebastian seemed to understand something.

"I don't know, but it should be related to a friend I haven't seen for a long time." Xia Ya said.

Wearing an assassin suit and a hood, there was only one person in the world who wore this look, and that was Heilang.

But obviously, the person wearing the assassin uniform should not be Heilang, otherwise he would not be able to recognize Xia Ya.

The brotherhood that Heilang wanted to establish when he came to Europe should have achieved certain results.

Although this assassin's movements are still a bit unfamiliar, for ordinary people, he is definitely considered a master.

The purpose of Heilang's establishment of this organization is to find his sister and the existence of the mysterious organization that caused the Marquis of Os to be parasitized by nightmares.

And this mysterious organization seems to be looking for some kind of special treasure.

So, maybe that's why these fraternity guys are here.

Sebastian nodded, and since he was an acquaintance, he said no more words.

They walked straight to the tavern, an intelligence center found almost everywhere.

The pub here fits the stereotype of many pubs.

There were some rough, hairy men everywhere who were very drunk. They were very loud and noisy. Some of them were even kicking their feet. The strong stench was mixed with the smell of alcohol.

But what is surprising is that the waiters here are all teenagers, the youngest of whom looks younger than Arthur.

It seemed that no one had come here for a long time, so when Char and Sebas came in, all eyes were focused on them.

There were several people wearing assassin uniforms and hoods sitting in a corner not far away, looking at this from the corner of their eyes.

Xia Ya ignored these looks and walked directly to the bar.

The owner behind the bar is a Celtic woman with red hair tied back casually.

She looks to be about thirty years old, with fair skin like all Celts, and three-dimensional facial features. The only flaw is that there is a very ferocious scar from her chin to the corner of her eye, like a bug, which greatly affects her appearance.

"welcome."

The landlady looked at Char and Sebas, and she joked, "I don't know what the wind has been blowing recently. In the past, there was no stranger in Sleepy Valley for several years, but recently there have been so many people."

Xia Ya smiled, casually found a seat to sit down, and took over the conversation, "And maybe, the questions are all about the same thing."

The landlady stared at Xia Ya, her eyes gradually getting sharper.

"Are you that interested in the Headless Horseman?"

"Headless Horseman?" Xia Ya's eyes showed a little interest, "Do you have a Headless Horseman here?"

The landlady reacted and said angrily, "Are you trying to trick me?"

Xia Ya shrugged, "It's just a wonderful misunderstanding."

He took out a map from his body and handed it to the landlady.

"I want to ask about this place."

The clairvoyance given to him by Merlin's destiny can only see everything on the "now" timeline, but cannot see the past or future.

But in this work, Merlin can use his clairvoyance to be similar to Laplace's demon, using everything he knows to predict the future and make certain predictions.

So Char can do it to a certain extent, and as the weaver of destiny, he should do it too.

But compared to asking directly, it definitely requires more effort.

With that said, Xia Ya took out a gold coin from his arms and placed it on the table. Although the currencies were not the same, the gold was real.

The landlady's eyes lit up. She picked up the gold coin and looked at it. She took a bite to test whether it was genuine or not. Then she clicked her tongue and said in surprise, "You are much richer than those people."

She accepted the coins, then looked at the map carefully, frowning slightly.

"This is the Forbidden Forest?"

She looked at Char and said suspiciously.

"Are you really not here to find the Headless Horseman?"

A glimmer of light flashed in Xia Ya's eyes.

This treasure must be inseparable from this knight.

"Can you tell me about the legend of the headless horseman?" Xia asked.

Catherine came back to her senses, shrugged and said, "This is not a secret, everyone in Sleepy Hollow knows it.

Legend has it that he was a brave knight under the Duke of Britain during his lifetime. Unfortunately, he was killed on the battlefield and his head was cut off by the enemy.

So the Duke of Britain buried him in Sleepy Hollow.

Every night when the moon is dark and the wind is high, he will ride a horse that is also undead, looking for his lost head everywhere;

Whenever he saw someone who looked similar to himself in life, he would cut off his head and take it back.

Speaking of which, the end of April and the beginning of May is also the time when the legendary Headless Horseman appears most often. "

"Has any of you here really seen the Headless Horseman?" Xia asked with interest.

Catherine shook her head, "Maybe the old man has seen it before. During this period, we would draw down the curtains at night and stay indoors and wear gold jewelry.

Because the Headless Horseman is afraid of the light from gold, this is his only weakness.

Although gold cannot cause harm to the Headless Horseman, it can protect the souls of the residents of Sleepy Hollow from being taken away.

This is a custom passed down from long ago. "

"There must be some people who don't follow customs, right?" Xia Ya asked.

Catherine nodded, "It is true that some people did die in the suburbs during this period, but most of them died of accidents and were not beheaded."
