Chapter 134 The Secret of Healing

"Why is she so badly injured? My healing spells can't help, you'll have to go and ask the archbishop for help. Without further ado, Archbishop Mackintosh is now in the Church, you go find him!"

Hurriedly bidding farewell to the medical priest of the "Good Church", Feige hurriedly led Lily, who was still unconscious, to the higher part of the Holy Trinity Castle. After passing the inspection of the mountain gate with the priest's emblem, Beni controlled the carriage steadily, minimizing the bumps along the way.

The healing spell was the shortest of all Feiqi's shortcomings, and he had put a lot of effort into it, but he still couldn't break through this invisible obstacle. Although alchemy potions and herbs can be used to achieve healing effects, the only way to heal through magic is magic. Magic appears powerless in this realm.

Feige has never believed in this evil. Magic is supposed to explain and reproduce every aspect of this world, but wherever the soul can reach it, it should be able to reach it. "Maybe I haven't found the right way yet, maybe it's me, not magic. "Feige has always had that confidence, so he never stopped trying.

In the Ice Peak Fortress, in the Valley Stream Castle, and in the Holy Three Castle, Feiqi never relaxed his collection and study of healing arts. There are three types of healing magic and nine levels, and there are as many as a hundred different spells, large and small. It is the first category that treats external injuries, the one that expels diseases and various undesirable states, and the third category that increases the body's ability to resist and tolerate. Its effects range from healing scratches on fingertips to bringing the dead back to life, covering different levels of magical power.

Lily Gust's injuries are visceral injuries, and the general "healing wounds" can only relieve and prevent the injury from worsening, but it has no ability to solve the problem. Moreover, the Vampire Derivative Spell also has a curse effect, lingering in Lily's body and mind, and this anomaly is not something that can be removed by the Wound Healing Spell. The priests of Yamashita "Zendo" are mainly for the common diseases of the general public, such as trauma, broken bones, colds, fevers, diarrhea, etc. They didn't have the right spell means and lacked enough spell power, so they had to turn to the archbishop for help.

Fortunately, Feige calmed Lily down in time, so that her "suicidal tendencies" did not affect the most important and fragile organs, and she was able to survive to this day. When the group finally arrived at the Holy Three Castle, Lily's face was pale, but from her chest to her neck, it was an abnormally dark red, and her nails were a little blue. "Get out of the way, get out of the way, there's a patient!" Fei Qi roared, holding up the emblem aloft to open the way. Beni hugged Lily and followed closely behind.

Lucky enough to have Archbishop Mackintosh in his office today. He and six students – including two bishops and four high-ranking priests (Golden Emblem) – were praying and listening to meditation. Feige nearly banged his door open, then apologized as he waved his arm aside and swept the things off his desk, placing Lily Gust on top of it.

"Please save her. This is Lily Gust, daughter of Viscount Van Termman Gust. She was attacked by a pirate lord in the Desert Isles, and was struck by a spell such as the Vampire Derivative Charm, and her internal organs were severely injured. Feiqi knew that time was precious, and only picked the most important information and said, "The priest of Yamashita Zendo has used healing for serious injuries, relieving toxins, and stabilizing blessings, but if it weren't for a stronger divine skill, she would still die." ”

"I see, now let me check it out. McIntosh smiled and summoned his "students" together, then placed his glowing palm over Lily's body, shining it from head to toe. Well, it's a tricky situation, far more troublesome than interrupted prayers and listening meditations. Feige, is there any way you can make my future meditations not be interrupted by someone who suddenly rushes in?"

"Installing a doorbell is a good start, it doesn't cost a lot of money, and it doesn't have to be crowded. Fei Qi scratched his head, then bowed slightly: "Everyone, I'm very sorry for interfering with your original affairs. ”

"Well, the attitude is not bad. I've heard that you're a very characterful martial arts champion, and I'm worried that you'll use your fists to get us to comply. Mackintosh withdrew his palm, and then said to a gray-haired old priest beside him, "Let's do a recovery technique first, so that her physical condition is slightly better." A few of you, prepare something for her to eat, as sweet as possible. Her injuries require regeneration to heal. ”

"Archbishop, the cost of regeneration is huge, are you sure?"

When Feige slammed the door open, he didn't think about his own gains and losses, he just wanted to save people. Therefore, what I heard was not the muffled sound of flesh pounding against the plank, but the loud sound of the goddess pounding on the heart. Ask yourself 'what can I do' instead of 'do it or not' – some things have to be done. ”

"There is room for choice to be necessary, but many times there is no choice. ”

"Makes sense, Feige. Archbishop Mackintosh nodded: "Hmm...... Tell your friends to wait outside, but you can stay. As a priest, would you like to see the process of regenerating the magic in action?"

"It's great. Feige nodded vigorously, and then put on a posture that no one wanted to drive him away.

He wanted to know too much how the healing magic was used, especially the more advanced ones. Regeneration is at the seventh level of the 9th level of healing arts, even higher than resurrection. Of course, this is mainly because resurrection requires the intervention of the gods, and the requirements for those who cast spells are not so high. If you don't take into account the increase in difficulty caused by changing a medical spell from a single entity to a large-scale cast, and only counting the healing spells for a single creature, then Regeneration can already be in the top three.

"It's the spell rune of Regeneration, can you read it?" McIntosh pulled a book from his shelf, flipped to the corresponding page number, and placed it in Feige's hand. "Are these things difficult?"

"I know them and I know what they mean, but I can't do it. Feige took a closer look, then quickly skimmed through the before and after sections.

"You're still young, it's normal that you can't show it. Twenty years old is the age of ambition, and you, except for exile, have never suffered hardships—even when you were exiled, you did not starve or be bullied, did you?"

Feige nodded: "Not really." But what does this have to do with magic?"

"Only by experiencing more can we find faith, strengthen faith, and sublimate faith. Happiness is also an experience, but I'm afraid that suffering is the most impressive thing. When you recall the sweetness and pain of the past, will you laugh because of the sweetness, or will you cry again because of the pain?"

Feige thought for a moment, then shook his head: "It's true that people have a deeper memory of pain. But I think it's instinct to remember that pain is just a process of learning from mistakes. Only creatures that can remember mistakes will survive longer, and those that don't always die sooner. What does this have to do with faith and magic?"

"Not all suffering is caused by mistakes. Mackintosh patted Feige on the shoulder: "When you live longer, see more, and experience more emotions in this world, you will understand." It's like reading a book, you don't look at the words and sentences, you see the emotions behind the words. ”

Feige closed his mouth and didn't answer. On the one hand, Mackintosh was right, the runes of the magic spell could not be regarded as a simple stack of words, but it did contain the power of faith, that is, the part of the fusion between one's own soul and the idea of the gods, which Feige had been unable to do. On the other hand, Mackintosh still has to treat Lily's injuries, and Feige also wants to take the opportunity to steal the tricks of high-level healing arts, how can he keep refuting him?

"Healing is not about chanting incantations, it's about empathy—Feige, listen well. Your magic is interesting and powerful. I went to see your game, and I don't think there is anyone among the non-divine spellcasters who can cast spells like you. Mackintosh's words made everyone, including Feige, raise an eyebrow and be taken by surprise. "You're calm in the arena and you like to think about situations in advance, so you're good at planning and adapting. However, these advantages are not very helpful in terms of magic. Divine magic, you have to empathize. ”

"How do you know happiness without suffering? Sitting in the temple, facing the tall statues, surrounded by beautiful chants...... None of this will touch you more than the screams of those who have gone through the ordeal. Some of the prayers are due to greed, but more often than not!"

Feige nodded vigorously. On the emotional side, he agrees with Mackintosh's words, and he also believes that the life of ordinary people out there is too poor and too many things are missing, both material and spiritual. However, he believes more in using his own efforts and relying on his hands to change the status quo than in prayer.

Mackintosh continued, "We are the bridge between the Goddess and the mundane, and we have long been trained to convey the voice of the praying to the Goddess. Therefore, only when we truly understand the suffering of the wounded, truly put ourselves in their shoes, and truly transfer their feelings to ourselves, can we correctly express them to the Goddess and make the healing magic work at its best. ”

These words exploded in Feige's mind like a bolt from the blue, causing his eyes to widen and he was stunned for several seconds.

The essence of spells is to change the world with souls, which has been proven when casting fireballs, ice, and air elemental ropes. But the treatment ...... The target of the treatment is another person's body, and that body has a soul! Therefore, it is necessary to let one's soul work together with the soul on the other side, at least to deal with the injury and illness together!

It is too difficult to get a soul that does not use spells to adapt to the caster's soul, so in order to heal, the caster needs to reverse their daily habits. It's not about letting the soul change the world, it's about letting the world change itself first, and then turning back to change the other person! Empathy, or putting yourself in the shoes of others, or long live understanding?

It's not a matter of thinking, it has nothing to do with the amount of knowledge and brainpower, it's just whether you can communicate with other people's hearts. The panic after an injury, the fear after poisoning, the helplessness, sorrow, and panic when suffering from an illness are not physical pains, but spiritual and spiritual feelings. It's like a person with a sad face who doesn't like the company of a hippie smiley, but unconsciously confides in someone who has a similar illness. Soul resonance is the first part of healing.

"I have to let the sick and wounded know that I am on their side, that wounds and diseases are the enemies on the other side, so that they can be treated. Feige said.

"It sums it up very well. Mackintosh smiled and nodded: "The best healing priests are all holy words, because we are always among the people, and we can better understand the suffering." Of course, we are also more willing to treat those who are devout believers, because they are more willing to believe in us, so that the healing effect is better. Those blasphemers who make things difficult for us and slander us have automatically stood on the other side, and we are powerless. ”

Mackintosh said as he began to cast his magic. The incantation written on paper turned out to be only a part of the divine arts, and the priest had to have a prayer before he could actually enter the incantation part. Now that Feige understood, this prayer was not nonsense, but a process of harmonizing the two souls into harmony.

Only by understanding people more broadly and deeply, especially those who are injured or sick, can we truly understand their feelings.

"She was a little resistant to me, she was very reluctant to listen to me, as if there was something more important in her soul than her life. For the first time, Archbishop Mackintosh frowned. "It's not good, it's bad. Although I can still forcibly advance the Regeneration Divine Technique, the effect will be much worse, and it may even fail to heal. ”

"I'll try. "I may not be able to understand her injuries and her current mood, but I should be able to persuade her to be less resistant," Feige said. Well...... Will my participation affect the use of divine magic?"

"No—as long as you don't mess around. In fact, if you could get in, the magic might work better, and we'd have less attrition. Mackintosh said, "Divine magic relies primarily on the power of the gods, part of which is their own mana, but healing must also involve itself. The recovery of the patient also requires the help of the pastor's body. Fitch, tell me why. ”

"Since it is empathy, then the empathy of the soul will inevitably bring about the experience of both parties. Therefore, it is not only necessary but necessary to consume a part of the patient's own energy, physical strength and resilience. It is also a manifestation of kindness. ”

"You can be a good pastor. Mackintosh nodded, grabbed Feige's hand, and pulled him into the process of casting the magic: "You learn more magic, so that the people of Minas Ihir can also benefit more." Now, listen carefully, feel the soul, can you hear her prayers?"

The prayer was not heard, but the feeling of the slave being coquettish to the master was not leaked to the bottom of my heart. Feige calmed down, felt carefully in the magical atmosphere created by Mackintosh, and found that beneath the coquettish surface emotions were actually fear, sorrow, and helplessness.

A magician can use his soul to change the world, but who can change a magician's soul? When two souls are close together, there is not only one thing to do, there are so many ways to interact, listening, understanding and empathy should not be exclusive to priests.

"Don't worry, I'm here, listen to me, get your treatment. Instead of using prayers, Feige spoke directly to Lily Gust, using her soul to send her voice deep inside. "Follow my guidance and get better. I need you to be healthy, and I need you to get out of the haze step by step. I hope you can be truly free and happy. ”

Under the guidance of the archbishop, Feige was able to empathize with him for the first time in a magical environment. Regeneration, the ultimate healing technique, its power flowed through Feige's body and then applied to Lily Gust's fragile internal organs.

The wound is rapidly healing, and the broken internal organs are beginning to heal as before. Feige felt like some of his strength had been drained, but he didn't have a wound, so he couldn't use it for the time being. Therefore, he is equivalent to temporarily lending his recovery power, and he only needs to eat more afterwards to replenish his strength.

Moreover, he already has some of the devil's abilities, and his regeneration and recovery abilities are much stronger than ordinary people, and the little bit he borrowed is nothing at all.

Wait a minute...... Feige suddenly had an idea that might solve the problem of healing spells.

And it's not a magic healing, it's a magic spell healing.
