Fanaz, a Persian woman who was preparing a traumatic potion in the parish school's bedroom, chuckled in her heart when she heard Ron convey Art's order, "This day has come. ”

He put down the herbs in his hand, picked up a handful of water and washed his face, then put on a light coat, and followed the herald Ron out of the wooden castle to the military tent outside the fort......

"Sir, Fanaz has arrived." With that, Ron put down the tent and left to get busy.

Art was looking down on a simple wooden table and writing and drawing to think about the development of the territory, when he saw Fanaz arrive, put down the charcoal stick in his hand, and waved his hand to signal Fanaz to come forward and speak.

Fanaz couldn't grasp the meaning of the young lord, so she slowly moved to Art's side, and then began to gently pull down her clothes......

"What are you doing??? Art was startled by Fanaz's wide coat's movements, and quickly got up and took two steps back.

The Persian woman Fanaz was completely stunned by Yat's movements, and her hands were still gently holding the hem of her blouse, and her white and smooth shoulders were already exposed.

"My lord, didn't you ask me to serve the night?" Fanaz looked confused.

"Ron told you to come and serve the night?"

"Brother Ron said let me come to your tent......" Fanaz naturally felt that Art finally couldn't hold back*, and wanted to be here while she was still married.

Art stared at Fanaz's slick white shoulders and proud*, swallowed lightly, and tried his best to toss away the distractions in his mind.

It's not that Art is not impressed by this beautiful Persian woman, if she is just an ordinary woman, she will sleep when she sleeps, if Lottie can't accept that Art has other women in the future, give some money to send it away, but the Persian woman in front of her is proficient in medical skills, and her medical skills are even more clever than those "barbers" who are half-gods, half-witches and half-doctors, so although she covets Fanaz's beauty, Art has always suppressed the * fire in her heart. And Arte doesn't allow anyone under her to do anything wrong to her unless Fanaz is willing.

In Art's eyes, the Persian woman Fanaz was a healer and scholar who cured the sick and saved people, and was by no means a slave girl who satisfied her expectations, which is why he resolutely left a heretic despite dissent.

Art coughed lightly and said, "I think you misunderstood, please put on your clothes." ”

As he spoke, in order to avoid embarrassment, Art turned around and picked up the water cup and drank a few sips of water.

Rao is familiar with the affairs of men and women, and Fanaz, who has read countless people, is also shy and embarrassed at the moment, she hurriedly lifted her clothes and straightened the neckline, and then stood in place with her head bowed.

Art put down the cup, turned to look at the well-groomed Fanaz, and motioned for her to sit down and speak, but Fanaz still stood with her head bowed.

"Fa~Ms. Fanaz." Art had already announced the restoration of the Persian slave girl's free status, and it was reasonable to use the title of "lady".

"Ms. Fanaz, you've been in the valley for more than a month, are you used to being here, and is anyone bullying you in normal times?" Art pretended to be calm and asked softly.

On weekdays, this Persian woman has a good mouth, but the embarrassment just now has not subsided, and she has no choice but how to answer for a while.

Seeing that he couldn't go around in circles, Arte luckily went straight to the point and said, "I called you here today to discuss something with you, I know that you are a slave sold from the East, but as a healer who is proficient in medical skills, I need people like you very much." But you are a heretic after all, and if you want to stay here for a long time, I am afraid you will have to be baptized and become the most devout believer in God......"

It turned out that Art really asked her to come to the military tent to discuss things, which made Fanaz's own behavior not proper enough, and the blush on her face turned red.

After Yate finished speaking, he didn't see Fanaz respond for a long time, he looked up at the Persian woman, and asked in an inquiring tone: "Ms. Fanaz, this~ Don't you agree to the baptism?" ”

Fanaz came back to her senses and muttered, "My lord, do you mean to change my gods?" ”

"Well~ can be understood so, because if you don't get baptized in this place, you will always be a heretic......"

"Although I don't think that the gods you worship are better than ours, I am at your disposal." Fanaz was reluctant to change her faith, but years of slavery had worn out her hopes, and now it was not easy for her to gain the long-lost dignity in this strange place.

"Well, sooner rather than later, I'll ask Father Hamish to arrange for your baptism tomorrow." Art breathed a sigh of relief.

In a few words, the matter of the baptism was decided, because of the embarrassing scene just now, after saying the business, both of them fell into a short silence, and the atmosphere in the tent began to be embarrassing again.

"The apprentices of the ~ academy have bothered you, they are all half-grown boys, and they are the most difficult to discipline." Art found a suitable topic in time.

"The children are very obedient, they are all abandoned orphans, and now they are kindly cared for by adults, and they are all cherished." Fanaz said yes and said no more.

Art wanted to have a good talk with this Persian woman to learn about her past, but now the atmosphere was abnormal, Art had to give up, "You go back first, you can come to me if you need anything in the future, if I am not in the wooden castle, you can find the old butler, I have already instructed the old butler to take more care of you." ”

"Thank you, sir." Fanaz fled and left Art's tent.

Looking at Shi Ran's departing back, Art swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then picked up the water cup and poured a mouthful of water fiercely.

"False seriousness!" Art cursed herself.

............

Father Hamish is simple and efficient. When Art told him that Fanaz was willing to be baptized and asked him to arrange the baptismal ceremony, it only took Hamish half a day to arrange the baptism.

The holy relics of the baptismal rite are all ready, the choir is served by the apprentices in the school, and the believers who witness the baptism are also ready-made, and this is not Lucesen, everything is simple, anyway, as long as the priest Hamish admits it, Fanaz will immediately become a devout believer.

At noon, seven or eight people, led by Yat, came to the chapel in the center of the wooden castle.

Father Hamish, dressed in long white, and a dozen apprentices from the parish school were already ready in the church's sanctuary. Fanaz, the protagonist of the baptismal ceremony, is praying and preparing in the front row of the church.

When Hamish, who presided over the ceremony, saw that all those who had attended the ceremony had arrived, he nodded to the dozen or so apprentices who were acting as choirs, and the roll call of the holy congregation resounded in the chapel of the church; Immediately after the roll call was over, Fanaz stepped out of her seat and knelt on the cushion that had been set up in front of the altar.

"All the faithful and believers are invited to pray for the baptized." Hamish said to all the participants in the temple.

Art led the group to their feet and sang the words of prayer from the Bible.

Hamish, who was presiding over the baptism, came to Fanaz, who was kneeling before the altar, and asked: "Fanaz, will you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and make Him the only true God in your heart?" ”

Fanaz replied, "By soul, I would like to be a believer in God." ”

Hamish continued: "Now I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and remove all demons and evil thoughts from your soul. With that, he nodded to an apprentice with a clay pot, and the apprentice stepped forward.

Hamish placed his hand in the clay pot and dipped his finger in water to draw a holy cross on Fanaz's forehead.

"From now on, you are a devout believer in our Lord. Amen! ”

"Amen!" The crowd chanted.

The apprentice wiped away the water stains with a clean linen, and Fanaz and the others in the ceremony partook of communion and received blessings in the church.

A baptism of the faithful is complete.
