C15 What are you doing here?

Elizabeth and I mounted the horse and began to explore the tiny village. Elizabeth began to tour me around and tell me about her neighbors. I became aware of this. People were staring at Elizabeth with a strange expression on their faces. As soon as I saw what was going on, I drew my cloak over my face and said, "Elizabeth, don't take off your cloak." "All right, Maxilin," she murmured as she drew her cloak down a little. "Elizabeth, do you know where the church is?" I asked. "Yeah, I went there once. But it's been so long because my father refused to take me there, "she retorted.

I smiled and asked, "So, Elizabeth, why did you stop me from opening the window last night?" I asked her to I only wanted to know the truth, which they did not reveal to me. This girl is well aware of the situation. "Last night?" she asked. "Yes," I said. "Because a monster lives there," Elizabeth said quietly. She said, "and I know he attempted to hurt you last night." "Did you see that monster?" I asked. "Never, ever. I am a good girl, after all. I don't wake up once I fall asleep at night "Elizabeth stated. "what? Really? But I think a little girl came into my room last night when I was downstairs. "As I previously stated. She narrowed her eyes and gave me a thoughtful expression when she heard me. "A small girl?" she asked. "Yes," I responded. "If that's the case, it's got to be her. I simply hate her. She has the audacity to enter your room, "Elizabeth murmured, her expression moody. "What are you talking about? Who is it, exactly? ", I asked. I had a feeling there was someone there as well. "She was a girl who used to play with me. She always stole my dolls and robbed me of everything. I warned her not to come to my place, but she did, "Elizabeth expressed herself. Hearing her, I was taken aback. Is she a girl? So, how come I didn't see her? "Really? Why would she come to my room then? because I don't have any toys with me, "I replied. " "I understand, but-" Elizabeth was going to say something when she suddenly came to a halt. she stated, with a sigh, "Let's forget about her. I'll chastise her for bothering you. " I was completely absorbed in her remarks. Whatever it is, I will deal with it as quickly as possible. "Maxilin, that's the church," Elizabeth said abruptly. I was able to see the church's highest peak. I rode my horse towards it and arrived at the same well as the day before. When I looked around, I noticed that everyone was really interested in us. I grabbed Elizabeth's hand in mine and walked to the church. I didn't see anyone as I walked in. It was a little dirty, and it appeared like no one had visited here in a long time. I took the cloth off my face and approached God. I was abruptly startled to hear footsteps approaching from behind me. I turned around and saw the old man I had seen the day before.

When he spotted me, he asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I just came here to pray," I said to the old fella. He gave me a glance and moved gently towards me. Then he took a long, serious look at me from top to bottom. "You're that boy, aren't you?" the old man asked. Elizabeth was trying to hide behind me when I looked at her. I said, "Yes, I am." Then he dropped his sights and glanced at Elizabeth. "So you live with this child's family?" he asked. He's now asking for too much. I didn't respond to him and returned my gaze to God. He said, "Don't ignore me, child." "I don't think that's important to answer," I muttered, narrowing my eyes. As soon as he heard the Maxilin, he turned to face Elizabeth. Elizabeth was staring at him with her round-eyed. That man gave Elizabeth a brief glance before turning his gaze to Maxilin. He said, "Are you here for a particular reason? I don't think you're a regular guy." I opened my eyes after hearing him. He has no way of knowing that I am not a religious person. I returned my attention to him after looking at the Jesus statue. I let out a long breath and took Elizabeth's hand in mine. "Do you have any holy water?" I asked. He gazed at me for a moment before nodding wisely. "Come with me," he urged, motioning for others to follow him. We began to follow him. He simply led us to a hidden chamber. No one can tell that a room like this exists. I observed how dark this place was, yet how clean it looked. That old man set his stick down and walked over to a shelf. I looked around the room as I rolled my eyes. Elizabeth let go of her grasp and moved her feet. She is a curious girl. "I want five bottles of holy water," Maxilin said as he approached the man. I'm hoping five bottles will suffice for that jerk. He turned to face me as soon as he heard me and then moved his gaze. "Is this enough for a nuckelavee?" he asked abruptly. I widened my eyes when I heard him. How did he figure that out? "How do you-," I asked. He grinned at me and added, "I know my child," before I could complete my statement. What do you mean? But how? "I asked. "Perhaps God wants to let me know this," he remarked with a faint smile. "And furthermore, I know what your major aim is," he said, looking at me. major goal? "What do you mean by that?" I said, my eyes narrowing. but he ignored my words. Will you join us for dinner if I invite you?" he asked as he arranged the bottles.

While pondering about something, I dropped my sight. We'll come back soon, I promised Kazia. Mr. Alex will be furious if we are not found. "I'm sorry, but I'm not able to, "I said. "But if you stay with me now, you will be in the perks," the old man added. "Perhaps you can find the truth as well," he replied after we exchanged glances.

He returned his attention to Elizabeth, who was taking a look around. But, while I was pondering, I remarked to that man, "OK, we'll." He smiled and picked up a large barrel. Elizabeth approached him after noticing him doing this. "What are you up to?" I asked. "I'm only trying to help," he said as he poured water into the drum.

"I think you carry your sword with you, right?" he replied after pouring water. I expanded my eyes when I heard him. How did he know so much? Who is he, exactly? In the meantime, Elizabeth remarked, "Yes, Maxilin brings his sword with him," She smiled at us as she spoke.

That old guy caressed Elizabeth's head and murmured, "You are sweet Elizabeth." "How do you know my name, mister?" Elizabeth asked with a smile. "When you were a kid, you used to come with your dad," he remarked with a smile. "I remember," Elizabeth remarked, "I visited here before." "Would you like to plunge your sword into the water?" he said, looking at me. I took a hard look and carefully drew my sword from my sheath. He gazed at me after touching my sword. I saw that his face was gradually becoming paler. Is he in good condition? I was about to ask him a question, but Elizabeth was with us, so I couldn't. The water began to bubble as he plunged the sword. "What the hell?" I asked, my eyes narrowing. "What is going on here?" I questioned. Elizabeth clutched my cloak tightly in her grip. She became a bit frightened. However, it stopped bubbling after a minute and the water turned black. "What is it?" I said, attempting to draw my sword but being stopped by that man. "Don't take it out; the sword is being purified by the water." "What?" I asked, frowning. "I think someone impurified this sword," he said.

What? As soon as I saw the sword, my eyes widened. I observed the sword's red gem stone gradually begin to shine. That is, what I thought was right. Someone went into my room last night when I was out and did something to my sword. That old guy drew my sword out of the water.
