96 Pious Female Mage
Nowadays, in the "Common Sense Handbook of Mercenary Groups", the treatment methods of various parasites recorded are far more abundant than the information in the booklet "Common Parasitic Treatments". This is due to the selfless sharing of the magicians of the mercenary group who have come and gone.
But the "Mercenary Group Common Sense Handbook" is not a systematic academic treatise after all. So although the content is much more substantial, the types of parasites covered are still limited. In addition to the most common parasites of flora and fauna, the newly added information also includes some parasites that mercenary groups may encounter when they go to special terrain areas during their missions. This does not include bulls-eyed demons from the depths of the underworld.
However, as more and more high-level magicians join the mercenary industry, the treatment of the same parasite gradually tends to be solved from the magic field. Therefore, it is not unreasonable for some people to use this to show that it is becoming more and more difficult for mercenary groups to get rid of their dependence on magicians.
It is true that the position of mages in the mercenary group is becoming more and more important, but this is determined by the powerful magical power they have. The popular team tactics of the moment usually revolve around the magician. For example, the Kuhl Mercenary Regiment is a team battle with Catherine as the core. Female mages are not only tasked with defense, but also with support and powerful attacks in battle.
But the premise of this arrangement is that the magicians can easily perform their magic, that is, in an environment that is full of natural elements and can be captured by the magician. Therefore, at this moment, Catherine suddenly found herself in a world insulated from the natural elements, and the impact of this moment was far greater than the impact of the female mage when she saw the bull's-eyed demon parasitic on her palm.
Catherine frowned, the few tricks she had prepared to deal with this parasitic eyeball could not be used. Although she didn't know the specific characteristics of the bull-eyed demon, with the rich knowledge of the female mage, she quickly developed several treatment plans that she could try. But now, I can't communicate with the natural elements at all
"Is this what adventurers often call the forbidden place, a special environment that turns magicians into ordinary people. As she tried to meditate for a moment, confirming that the magic could not be done, Catherine was a little agitated.
The female mage took a deep breath, trying to calm her already restless emotions. Although it may seem difficult to do, what else can be done at this time other than calm?
Catherine pushed open the door and poked her head out to take a look. Leaving aside the strange little palm ornamentation in the carriage, Catherine judged that the aristocratic carriage she was riding in was very old-fashioned. At the moment, no, even those noble families of hundreds of years in the morning, do not use such decoration.
The female mage felt like she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a moment. So she decided to look from the outside of the carriage and find out where she had been.
For some reason, Catherine has never felt fear or fear in an unfamiliar environment since the moment she woke up. And her ability to control her emotions is obviously much stronger than in the past. After taking a few breaths of the icy air outside the car, she had completely calmed down.
The carriage sits on a narrow strip of land, behind which is a tall, dark forest. The trees in the forest were obviously more than ten meters away, but they couldn't be seen clearly, as if they were covered with a layer of black fog. In front of the carriage was a towering mountain, and Catherine looked up along the smooth cliffs, which were jutting into the sky and could not be seen.
"Poof" Catherine fell to the ground on her back. Just as she looked up at the mountain, the mountain in her field of vision suddenly fell towards her, and the small female mage was immediately crushed to the ground.
"Poof" Catherine spewed out a mouthful of blood. She felt that her internal organs were completely crushed, and it was difficult for her to breathe.
The female mage lay calmly on the ground, blood spilling from the corners of her mouth. She looked at the small stretch of sky outlined by the gray forest and the massive peaks, "Is this really going to die this time? ”
"Lord Catherine, are you awake?"
The sky collapsed, the forests fell, the mountains cracked, and the sight before Catherine's eyes was shattered. She closed her eyes and blinked vigorously before opening them again. It turned out that he was still standing on the ground in a good manner, and in front of him was still the mountain that could not be seen. But this time, the female mage would not look up stupidly again, she deliberately lowered her head, for fear of falling into a senseless hallucination again.
Catherine saw a strange creature at her feet. It was covered with leaves, shaped like a palm, and stood on the ground with two fingers, bowing solemnly to the female mage. "What are you?" the mage instinctively took two steps back as she asked.
"Lord Catherine, don't you know me?" the Palm Monster straightened up and plucked the leaves from its head, "My god commanded me to meet you and go to the temple. ”
"Where is the temple?" asked Catherine, crouching down and observing the strange palm-shaped monster, "can you speak, what race are you? I've never seen a sapient creature of your form. What the hell is this place, and how did I get here?"
"Lord Catherine, you have been baptized by our God. Our God is omnipresent, My God is omnipotent, My God creates everything, Our God gives hope. As the most faithful servant of our God, I bless and applaud your new birth. After speaking, the palm monster bowed deeply again.
"Baptism?" Catherine stood up and circled around the palm monster noncommittally, "It's a temple and a baptism, what religion are you, what gods do you believe in?"
"My lord, please do not look at the world of my god through the eyes of the world. My God is omnipresent, there is no religion here, this is the world of My God. My God is the world, the world is my God, and you are in My God. Please feel the brilliance of our God with respect and devotion. ”
The palm monster threw itself to the ground in the direction of the mountain and said aloud: "My god is omnipresent, my god is omnipotent, my god creates everything, my god gives hope." ”
He chanted over and over again, and the ground roared at the prayer of the palm monster. Catherine swayed back and forth, almost falling to the ground. She didn't care to study the palm monster anymore, and staggered to the carriage that stopped nearby, leaning on the body to stabilize her figure.
However, the carriage began to slowly reverse, and the ground seemed to tilt. To be precise, the terrain is rising on the side of the mountain. The mage hurriedly let go, watching the carriage slide backwards and crash into the black forest without a trace.
As the ground elevated, it became increasingly difficult for Catherine to stand up. Soon, she had to follow the example of the palm monster and crawl on the ground.
But the terrain was still rising, and the mage believed that it would not be long before she would fall like the carriage.
"Lord Catherine, please pray with me that the light of my god will shine on you and protect you. The palm monster crawled into Catherine's ear and reminded him softly.
"Our God is omnipresent, My God is omnipotent, My God creates everything, Our God gives hope. The Palm Monster began to pray aloud again. The voice was loud and solemn, rumbling in all directions.
"Our God is omnipresent, My God is omnipotent, My God creates everything, Our God gives hope. In desperation, Catherine followed suit. As if in response to her cries, the same prayers were heard intermittently from all directions. The voices rang from far and near, and finally rumbled, reaching into the depths of the female mage's heart.
The female mage let out a long sigh of relief, her body immediately became warm, and a warm smile spread across her face, as if she was in her mother's arms. Countless tiny characters floated out of her body and spread all over her body.
Catherine looked at her hands, which were made up of tiny characters in a strange circle. The patterns were like living creatures, as if they would leap out of her skin at any moment. The characters are constantly changing and combining, as if to convey a silent word.
The female mage stared at the pattern on the back of her hand in a daze, and her mouth had forgotten to recite a prayer. And so the characters gradually lost their vitality, stagnated and changed, and sank into her skin again.
Catherine's body immediately slid downward. The entire ground was close to vertical at this time, and the panicked Catherine hurriedly tried to hold on to the ground, but the ground covered with thick ice had no way to start.
"Our God is omnipresent, My God is omnipotent, My God creates everything, Our God gives hope. The female mage's mind was still clear, and she immediately shouted loudly. The falling body really stopped falling in an instant, and Catherine returned to "My God"
in the warm embrace. Her hands, face, and unseen skin surfaces were filled with unreadable characters and vibrant patterns.
Catherine kept reciting this prayer back and forth. Not only does she feel gentle physically, but she is also full of energy. She even tried to stand up, and without difficulty, she stood on the ground that was already parallel to the towering mountain in front of her. The mage walked up and down the ground, looking out at the gray forest that was gradually moving away from her.
She couldn't explain what was happening in front of her, and it wasn't an exaggeration to call it a miracle. All the secrets should be in the characters and patterns that float on her skin, but it is impossible for Catherine to calm down and study them at the moment. She must always pray, always show her piety to the mysterious deity.
