Chapter 29: Small Talk
By the time Zhao Xi returned to the middle of the convoy, the surrounding mercenaries had already cleaned up the corpses, leaving only a few people harvesting the materials on the corpses, which was also their main source of income in addition to the task rewards.
Daisy on the side had a thick strip of cloth wrapped around her arm, and it seemed that the wound had been treated, and when she saw Zhao Xi coming, she hurriedly ran to Zhao Xi's side.
"Don Don Don, thank you. Daisy lowered her head and whispered, after knowing Zhao Xi's true identity, she couldn't help but feel a lot more restrained.
"You really don't have to be so polite, how is your wound?" Zhao Xi shook his head and said.
"It shouldn't be a big deal, it's just that I can't exert myself for a long time. At the mention of the wound, Daisy's face darkened.
After all, any wound is fatal to mercenaries, and the remuneration of mercenaries is distributed according to their work.
Daisy's situation is more embarrassing, not only does she need to pay an expensive treatment fee, but the additional gains of this mission are basically lost.
However, the basic task reward is still available, but it is not very high, and she will also have a share of the loot of this battle.
And the remaining time is estimated to require mercenary companions to protect her, after all, she may not even be as good as an ordinary person now when she is seriously injured.
"If you don't mind the magic healing you, my companion can make your recovery faster. ”
Zhao Xi tentatively put forward his opinion, Cornelia's healing magic technique just now didn't cause much disgust, so he wanted to see how other people reacted to Cornelia.
"Huh? Really?"
As soon as Daisy heard that there was hope for a quick cure, she immediately raised her head, and there seemed to be a glint in her eyes.
"Cornelia's healing magic is still very reliable, but don't you mind if it's a magic technique to treat you?" Zhao Xi touched his nose and said.
"This..."
After hearing the specific words this time, Daisy hesitated a little, after all, their generation's impression of the church is second only to the devil.
Some people even felt that the church was more hateful than the devil, and the withdrawal of the church at that time was extremely sudden, and even the clergy at the bottom did not know the news except for the high-ranking personnel inside.
Even the front-line legions that resisted the chaos withdrew, not caring for the lives of the others in the north at all.
There wasn't even time for the people of the North to prepare, and if Chaos hadn't invaded on a large scale at that time, it wouldn't have been Archduke Xavier's turn to unify the North.
There are also some local pastors who are reluctant to leave their hometowns and want to stay in the north, but most of them face faith and their hometowns and end up choosing faith.
There were also a few low-ranking priests who chose to stay in the North, but after going against the will of the church, there was no possibility of them moving up the ranks.
However, because of the complete withdrawal of the church, they also suffered from the eyes of some people in the north, and it was not until Archduke Xavier himself bestowed medals on these people that their deeds began to circulate.
However, most of the remaining priests did not accept Xavier's bounty, and disappeared into the North once the situation stabilized.
Some say they returned to the Church Federation to serve the gods again, and some soldiers say they saw them in the battle against Chaos.
However, no one can say exactly where they went, and the whereabouts of these people are still a mystery.
But even with some great priests, people in the North now have a very extreme view of the clergy.
"Rest assured, my companion is not a pastor of the church,"
Zhao Xi saw that the other party still seemed to be very concerned, and continued to explain.
"Then trouble your companions. ”
Daisy couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard that it wasn't the pastor on the other side of the church, and raised her head to look at the straight Zhao Xi standing opposite.
After hearing that the mercenary on the other side was not from the church, the sense of rejection was much less, and Zhao Xi's heart was also in his stomach.
It's not that he cares much about what the mercenary thinks of Cornelia, he just wants to see what ordinary people think of people who aren't the pastors of the church.
It was already a fact that Dorothy would have to stay in Shudria for a long time to help Dorothy find her mother, and if the inhabitants of the place were so repulsive to non-church pastors, the three of them would have a hard time for the rest of the day.
After all, you can't let Cornelia stay where she lives all the time and not go out, as for the representative of the radical faction, Il Zhao Xi has already seen it, and he wants to see what proportion of the radical faction is among the ordinary mercenaries.
If the proportions are not natural, it is best, and if the proportions are too large, you have to consider the placement of Cornelia.
In fact, he can also ask Buffy a few people about these questions, but Zhao Xi thinks it's better to see this kind of thing with his own eyes
However, he looked at Daisy and was visibly relieved to hear that Cornelia was not a clergyman of the church, and some of the mercenaries just now did not have a more obvious rejection of the magic that healed him.
"Isn't that a big deal, do your other companions reject non-church clergy?"
Zhao Xi wanted to get more opinions from Daisy about ordinary people about non-church clergy.
"Non-church clergy are not very repulsive, but there are some..."
Daisy didn't finish her words and just gave Zhao Xi a look you know, after all, there are still a lot of people around, and it's still a little bad for her to say it too clearly.
"Then if my companion and I were to live in Shodria for a while, would there be any danger. ”
Zhao Xi naturally knew who some of the people Daisy was talking about, and he didn't dwell too much on this issue, but asked the question he was most concerned about.
Daisy thought for a moment and said, "It's not dangerous, the security of Shodria is still very good, but there are still some unfair treatments. ”
"Even if you show yourself as a clergyman on the street, doesn't it matter?" Zhao Xi said, raising an eyebrow.
"Even if the clergy of the church comes, they won't be hurt in Shodrea, but they won't be treated very well. ”
"Then what do you usually look at when distinguishing clergy, clothes?"
"The main thing is to see if they are wearing the robes worn by the priests, and the real church personnel will not wear anything else. ”
"Then if you wear regular clothes, you won't be recognized?"
"Of course, there is no one on the street who looks at you like a clergyman and comes up to you and asks if you are a clergyman. ”
Daisy seemed to be amused by what she said at this, and the smile seemed to pull the wound on her arm, her beautiful brow furrowed, and a muffled snort came out of her mouth.
