Chapter 2440

Margaret was terrified. At that time, she was the closest to the window that the woman took. It was Margaret who was supposed to stay in the castle today, but she and Matilda switched. Although he was calm, he still looked in shock.

Georgiana gave them both some hot cocoa with palliatives, then left Matilda to nurse them both, and then went to see how Figgle was doing herself.

When she was teaching, she met a few children who were particularly afraid of the forest. At first, she thought they were pretending to be sick and skipping class.

Many people have nightmares. In various fairy tales, the forest is always a scary place. Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother, Snow White and the hunter, etc. After listening to these stories that adults think are full of childishness, children can’t help but dream. Controlled to imagine running barefoot in the dark forest, avoiding wolves, hunters, etc., I gradually developed a mental illness called forest phobia.

Others were so worried about getting lost in the forest that they wouldn't go near the Forbidden Forest without Albus reminding them.

Most people get rid of this fear when they reach adulthood, when they see the shadows left by the branches and no longer feel that they are some kind of monster's finger, but some people can't get rid of it all their lives. Especially with "real monsters" appearing on TV news and in movies, the fear of the forest is even more ingrained.

The woman was placed in a servant's room on the first floor, and the castle's servants stood outside the door, and the room whispered.

Compared with the male cavalry, she believed in Figel, who was also a woman, and had been holding the female dragoon from the very beginning. But before Georgiana could get any closer, Edgeworth blocked her way.

"Go back, we're here," Edgeworth said. "The police will be here soon."

Georgiana didn't insist. She turned her head and left to check the castle's defenses. The drawbridge was hoisted with the crisp sound of chains and gears colliding. There were also guards on the city walls, and the bonfires were all lit. Although Bonaparte took half of the guards with him when he left, but with the addition of Mamluks, it should be no problem to deal with thousands of robbers with the moat.

According to the latest census, France has the highest proportion of rural population in the total population, at 88%. In contrast, the Netherlands has the highest degree of urbanization, at 37%. The UK is ranked behind the Netherlands, only 22%, 82% of the Belgian rural population, and only 18% of the urban population, but those populations are distributed in large and small villages.

Compared with cities, the crime rate in rural areas is much lower, but it does not mean that those villages are "idyllic". During the inspection in Normandy, many villages built high earthen walls to prevent bandits of.

The countryside has always been a paradise for rebels. They can also pretend to be those villages and build fortifications. The Boucher Castle that Georgiana visited in the morning is also located near the village. It used to be the residence of exiles, but the drawbridge in front of the castle has been demolished , into an English courtyard, and there is a road leading directly to the castle.

Those gloomy defensive facilities usually look quite disappointing, but now they look at them with a sense of security. After looking around, she found that there was no problem. She returned to her room and passed by Padma's bedroom on the way. There was a knock on Padma's bedroom door.

"Come in," Padma said.

Georgiana went in, but found that Padma was not alone, and Bertin was also inside, and the two were holding a teacup each.

"What are you doing?" Georgiana asked.

"I'm teaching her how to use tea stains for divination." Padma handed the cup to Georgiana, "It's the same as the one in the morning."

Georgiana took the cup, which still had a wolf-looking pattern on the bottom.

"Me too." Bertin handed his cup to Georgiana, "It seems that the danger is not over yet."

She didn't say it was suspicious, and Sybil's divination was not always accurate. When they went out in the morning, they thought they would be in danger. Didn't they come back safely now?

She looked at Bertin again, and Bertin looked at Georgiana, as if he had something to say.

"What do you want to say?" Georgiana asked.

"About the necklace incident." Bertin said softly, "There is one of them, you may know her name is Jeanne."

"I've heard her name," said Georgiana icily.

"The first time she appeared in Versailles, no one noticed her, and she had no chance to get in touch with the queen." Bertin said, "Then one day, she suddenly fainted, and many people gathered around to wake her up." ’, and then she told everyone about her life experience, as for the reason why she fainted, it was because she hadn’t eaten for several days.”

"How cunning." Padma said in surprise.

"No, the real cunning is in the back." Bertin said, "She lied that she knew the queen, and told everyone she saw. In the end, the queen might not know that she knew her in the whole palace."

"What do you want to say?" Georgiana asked.

"You shouldn't have let that woman in," Bertin said.

"It's also possible that she was actually in danger," Padma said.

"I'll turn her over to the police..." Georgiana said.

"It won't be that easy." Bertin looked like a prophet. "She got in with great difficulty, and she won't leave without getting enough benefits."

Georgiana looked at Padma, and this time she did not accuse Bertin of being unsympathetic.

"I have a bad feeling too." Padma said after a while.

"Let's talk about it when the police come." Georgiana said wearily. "Wake me up when they come."

Then she lay directly on Padma's bed.

"You should change your clothes before going to sleep..." Bertin said.

Georgiana didn't bother to care about her. She remembered that when she first came to this world, she didn't feel tired at all, and she could not eat, drink or sleep.

She ran fast in the long and narrow corridor, with door after door on both sides. She remembered that once she pushed open one of them, and then saw Josephine slap Olstein, and Josephine demanded that she Marry Louie, even though they don't like each other.

Why had she pushed open that door?

She recalled the reason at that time, as if the camera was reversed, this time she returned to the corridor again, but there was one more thing in the corridor.

It was a sphinx, and despite the Egyptian statues everywhere, the sphinx was alive.

It looks scary, but as long as the questions are answered correctly, it is not dangerous, and the little wizard of the Triwizard Tournament can deal with it.

But those sphinxes had female faces, but this one had a male face, and it was much bigger than normal sphinxes.

Its huge paws landed on the carpet, approaching slowly and silently, and Georgiana subconsciously wanted to pull out the wand.

"Open the door!"

There was a growl and slamming sound from behind a door.

She looked back at the sphinx, not knowing which one was more terrifying.

"Do you remember what Josephine's ex-husband did to her?" Sphinx asked, as if asking a puzzle.

"Open the door!"

The man behind the door continued to growl and banged on the door.

"Are you a woman," said the Sphinx, "or a monster?"

She screamed, and everything, hallways and sphinxes disappeared.

Then she sat up again, and Padma and Bertin were gone, and she was actually still in her bedroom.

"Ma'am." There was a knock at the door. "Mr. Langfenhorne is here with the police."
