Chapter 70: Priests and Physicians
"Oh!" everyone turned their heads, and then they were startled by Erin's shocked face, and they let out a cry of horror.
In fact, I don't blame them, there is no electricity in this world, and the popularity of magic is not high enough. Places like the dining room are mostly lit up at night by torches and candles, and despite all the efforts they have made to illuminate the place, the room is still very dark. The gloomy room, coupled with Erin's nightmarish face, would have scared anyone.
"Who are you?" Nancy, who seemed much calmer than everyone else, asked as she looked at the ugly little girl.
"That...... I...... That one...... I'm ......" Erin nervous as she was the center of attention, stammering as she tried to identify herself, but couldn't say anything.
"She's a priest, a mid-level priest, and we're a squad of reapers, sent by the Empire. Regnar replied for Erin, raising the badge on his chest to identify himself.
Reaper Squad, this is the name given to these contestants by the Hawk Imperial military who came to support the battlefield. Because each member of the squad formed by these contestants has strong individual ability, although they are not enough to sweep thousands of troops on the battlefield, but in skirmishes, these people are like the scythe of death everywhere to harvest the lives of the enemy, so they get such a name.
"......" Nancy stared at Erin silently, she didn't exclude others from being in the limelight when she was incompetent, as long as she could save someone, she didn't mind who saved them. But she really couldn't believe that the teenage girl in front of her was actually a middle-level priest.
She roughly swept through the four members of the team, and the strong man at the head was about forty years old...... One woman was about twenty years old, while the other man and woman were only seventeen or eighteen years old. To be honest, they were so young, so young that Nancy was a little afraid to hand over the wounded soldier to them, after all, it was a life.
"Are you really the Reaper Squad?" Nancy asked directly, "Aren't you too young?"
"Hey, Ms. Doctor, it's not a bad thing to be young, the average age of our squad is a little younger, but the strength is recognized. Kordak spoke, and it was rare for someone to say that he was young, and he was extremely happy. This guy pointed at Regner and said quite proudly: "This guy is the top four in this competition, Ray." You've heard of the name, and the badge, these can't be faked. ”
As soon as Cordak said this, the restaurant immediately exploded, and many soldiers came over and surrounded Regner to ask questions.
"Are you the top four in this competition?"
"I heard that you went head-to-head with Miss Anne Lot, the champion, how about she? Is she very strong? Is she a stunning beauty? Is she tall?"
"Some people say that you and Miss Anne Lott behaved strangely during the competition, do you two know each other?"
"I didn't expect you to be so popular!" said Cordak, who could see that it was not Regna but Anne Lot, who was very popular, because seven out of ten of the ten questions asked by the soldiers were related to Annelot.
"Alright, now is not the time for you to have a fan meeting!" Nancy was furious: "There's a wounded man lying here!"
"Then hurry up and let her be treated. Regner stepped forward and said, "Anyway, if it drags on, he'll die, so it's better to let Erin try." ”
"......" Nancy looked at Regner, and then warned: "This is the fortress of the Hawke Empire, don't play any tricks!"
"I know, the kindness of saving people has also aroused suspicion, what kind of world?!" Regner muttered, and then pulled Erin to the wounded: "Erin, come on, believe in yourself!"
"......" Erin's face turned red, the crowd of onlookers had already made her tremble with nervousness, and now another life was in her hands, which brought unprecedented pressure to the always timid half-elf girl.
"......" Regner leaned over to her with some helplessness and whispered encouragement: "Don't worry about treatment, I'm by your side, believe in me, and believe in yourself." ”
Erin looked at Regner, then nodded vigorously and began to cast her magic.
"O merciful and kind God of Light, please give me the strength to dispel the sickness and hardship of this world, and save this poor life. Your light will illuminate all the darkness of this world and bring endless life and hope to the whole world......" Erin prayed softly with her eyes closed.
Immediately after, her hands glowed with a pale golden glow. Erin quickly stabilized the strength in her palms, and then guided them into the body of the wounded soldier.
"Wrong...... "Erin's magic had just finished casting, and before she could see the effect, Nancy sighed and said.
"What?" Regner asked.
"This is a dispelling technique,......" Nancy said helplessly, "Son, you should perform a detoxification technique...... Will you be able to do this?"
As soon as Erin heard that she had used the wrong magic technique, she immediately turned red from her neck to the root of her ears in embarrassment. She stammered, "I ...... I think I would too. ”
"Okay, let's do it again, come on, we all believe in you. Nancy's tone softened a lot.
After a few moments, Erin finally relieved the wounded man's poisoning symptoms with her own poisoning skills. Then, under Nancy's superb medical treatment, the wounded were finally out of danger.
......
"I'm sorry I misunderstood you guys. "Even though it's winter, Nancy still sweats a lot from the work she just had. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and said to the Regners.
"It's nothing, it's important to save people. Regner smiled nonchalantly, and then asked, "It may be a bit presumptuous to ask, but how did you know that Erin used the wrong magic just now?"
"Because I used to be a pastor too. Nancy smiled slightly, and then briefly recounted her experience.
"Anyway, it's all about saving people, what's the difference between relying on one's own strength and relying on the power of God? Regner muttered to himself, but there was a smile on his face: "With your own strength to treat the wounded, although the path you have chosen is extremely difficult, I also feel extremely noble. ”
"Thank you. Nancy replied politely, and she turned her head to look at Erin, who was hiding behind Regner, with a bit of appreciation in her eyes: "This kid is a very talented priest. ”
"That's, Erin didn't dare to say anything else, taking care of people is really very considerate. Kordaq agreed, he couldn't have gotten better so quickly when he was wounded by Rego in the days had it not been for Erin's care.
"Maybe you don't believe it, but she's been a pastor for less than half a year. Regner said with a smile.
"Less than half a year later, have you become a mid-level priest?" said Nancy, slightly surprised.
"That's right. Regner nodded.
"That...... Ms. Nancy, I have a question for you. Erin whispered.
"Oh, what's the problem?" Nancy looked at Erin, and couldn't help but have a look of love, although this little girl looked extremely ugly, but her kind and timid personality was very similar to her back then, and she almost unconsciously saw her own shadow from Erin.
"You just treated that gentleman...... Isn't it magic?" asked Erin.
"It's medicine. Nancy said, "I'm a physician. ”
"Healing?" There are doctors in Erin's town, but at most they can only treat some minor diseases such as headaches and brain fever, serious injuries such as poisoning and knife wounds, and those doctors can't do anything. However, Nancy's performance was beyond Erin's expectations, although she also made a lot of contributions, but Erin always felt that if there were enough medicines, Nancy could easily cope with such a situation alone.
"Yes. Nancy replied, "Physicians don't need the power of the gods, we can use the various instruments that nature has given us to heal the wounded." ”
"You...... Can you teach me?" said Erin, plucking up her courage, Nancy's performance just now gave her a great shock, she didn't need to pray, she didn't need to plead, she was completely on her own to save others. In fact, this approach is more in line with Erin's vision, so after seeing Nancy's medical skills, she immediately became interested in this method of treating others.
"It's not something that can be taught overnight. Nancy reminded.
"I know, I can read, and I think I have patience and perseverance. Erin was unmoved.
"Erin, are you serious?" Regner was stunned for a moment, and it suddenly occurred to him that if he could put Erin here, it would actually be a good choice. This is the fortress of the Hawk Empire, and although it is not completely safe, it is much better than following them to the battlefield.
As for the lack of treatment for the team, it is not a big deal. Anyway, they didn't have a priest in the previous team, didn't they survive? With Irene's performance, it is actually not bad to have her on the battlefield or not. Instead, it is better to put her here, Regna and they have less to worry about, and if there is something urgent, they can also rush back in time to inform her to act together.
"Yes, Brother Regner, I've been thinking about it for a long time. Erin replied.
As soon as Erin said this, Regner understood. In fact, Erin also knew that she couldn't go to the battlefield, even if Regner didn't open her mouth, the empathetic half-elf girl would probably propose to quit the team before the next operation. And now, she's found a better solution, which may be the best option for them.
But Vera saw the problem at this time, and she opened her mouth to remind: "Don't forget, Miss Nancy was also a middle-level priest back then, and now that she has lost all her divine powers, will you also ......?"
"Ahhh......h Although medical skills have a lot of attraction to her, she is still a little reluctant to give up the power of a middle-level priest because of this. After all, in the current situation, the role of a middle-level pastor is far greater than that of a rookie who has just entered the medical path.
