Chapter 003: Miracles
"Get out of here!" Berkeley decided, although he believed his mage friend, but in this situation, it was not enough to prove his innocence in a few words. He unleashed an invisible orb to envelop the trio, and they disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
"We shouldn't just run away, isn't that tantamount to acquiescing in the fact that Norris did it. The dwarf said indignantly.
"It's clear that someone is trying to frame us, or at least to slander Norris. Not only does staying here prove nothing, but it is likely that he has fallen into his trap. Berkeley gave the dwarf a blank look, and he looked at Norris again, "Old friend, have you messed with anyone lately?"
Norris shook his head, "Of course I have enemies, but I don't think they'll be here forever. On my way back alone, they had too many opportunities to kill me, and there was no need to frame my reputation in this way. There are not many people in the village of Tavolib who recognize me. ”
The elf thought for a few seconds, then said, "Let's go meet Hopkin first." ”
And just as the three of them were about to quietly evacuate, a middle-aged man in a black priest's robe appeared in front of the Elephant Hotel.
"Restrea"
As the priest Longfellow Garth slowly recited the incantation, a bright white light fell on the scattered flesh and blood. The disgusting and terrifying mass of flesh was regrouped into human form, and the drunkard not only gained new life, but even woke up from his wine. He knelt before the pastor and said, "Thank God for your salvation!"
The people who felt the "miracle" also knelt down one after another. Although they didn't know which priest in front of them represented.
The three Leslie siblings also knelt down with the crowd, and whoever stood abruptly at this time was likely to be labeled as "disrespectful to the gods" and risked being targeted by the powerful priest in front of him.
The location of Tavolib village makes the villagers living here somewhat isolated. If you walk north from the village of Tavolib, you will encounter a towering mountain range that is difficult for ordinary people to cross, and if you go west, you will enter a deep forest inhabited by many dangerous monsters, even plants that can kill people, and to the east and south, the endless sea.
The villagers naturally know that there are extraordinary powers in this world, and in fact, there are many villagers who are keen on the study of extraordinary knowledge, but on average, it takes them five or six years to meet an adventurer who has traveled here and wields incredible powers. And today, there were several people in succession, which was enough to shock them.
"If you don't want to see the corpse of that wanderer, please show up now!" the priest used the magic "magic detection", whether it was the arcane magic performed by a mage, warlock, or bard, or the magic performed by a priest, druid, paladin, or ranger, as long as it was within sixty feet of him and the spell was below the fifth order, he could detect it.
At this point, although Longfellow couldn't see the three people hiding in the invisible orb, he could detect traces of arcane not far from him, so he could easily locate them.
"What happened to your halfling friends?" Berkeley disarmed the clash orb and stared at the priest with an unkind expression. Nikkor and Norris also put on a fighting stance.
"Also, when did you move your hands and feet on my staff, and why did you frame me?" Norris asked.
He asked this question more, not to get an answer from the priest, but to the villagers who had witnessed the scene at the Likehome Hotel.
After all, if the villagers who don't know the truth also become their enemies at this time, things will get a lot more troublesome.
The priest didn't make a gesture of fighting, he just responded lightly, "Follow me," and turned away.
