143. Stingy gods
Artie is sick, this is a very obvious thing, in fact, she has been feeling a little uncomfortable since yesterday, from the prairie where she grew up to Yafen City, she will be a little uncomfortable, Artie chose to be patient, and got up early the next day, and dressed like that to mow the lawn, and turned back and was busy with housework, and never rested.
As a result, when she was not in a good state, she was suddenly hit by an ice magic from Miya, which made her very uncomfortable, but she still refused to rest, insisted on preparing lunch for Miya and them, and finally collapsed on the table.
In fact, after losing the protection of the sword of the god of war, her physique was not much better than that of ordinary girls, and even dropped a lot because of the comfortable life all year round.
But even so, she gritted her teeth and struggled to get up to clean up the plates she had broken? Fortunately, Bai Yi moved faster than her, picked her up by the waist, turned her head to Miya and said, "I'll take her to the church." ”
"No... No need... Master... It's my first day on the job... I can't..."Artie was already weak at this time, and was held in Bai Yi's arms, still stubbornly speaking.
Bai also ignored her, but quickly ran in the direction of the church in Afen City, in fact, he also learned the church's healing magic through missionaries and others, but he didn't have a proper identity, and he didn't dare to rashly use these spells involving divine power - according to the church, divine magic and divine power are gifts from the true God to devout believers, and non-believers must not abuse them, otherwise they will attract divine punishment...
Bai Yi still has some concerns about divine punishment, so he naturally doesn't dare to act rashly, it is prudent and reasonable to take Artie to the church at this time, anyway, with his foot strength, it won't take long to arrive at the door of the church.
It was a large, solemn white building, surrounded by no walls, but instead a park-like garden, with a badge hanging on the front of the white church, on which was a hand spreading light and the gospel downward, and a line of small letters below the badge read, "Where the light shines, God bestows grace." This is the full name of the church, and it is also the first sentence they write in the canon, but because it is too long and too awkward, it is usually referred to as the church or the charismatic church.
It was the hottest afternoon of the day, but there were still a lot of civilians gathered outside the church, who were patiently waiting for the church's daily free medical care, and they only needed to throw two children into the prayer box to get the help of a professional pastor, a tradition that the church has maintained since its inception and has not changed to this day.
This is definitely a good way to attract believers, every civilian lined up outside has a solemn look on their faces, even staring at the scorching sun above their heads, there is not the slightest noise and impatience, consciously maintaining order, waiting patiently, reflecting quite a good cultivation.
But Bai Yi didn't plan to talk to them about cultivation quality, he hugged Artie and prepared to rush into the church, but when he was about to step up the marble steps, he still slowed down, and there was a little hesitation in his heart.
Since his arrival, it was the first time he had set foot in that god's territory, which might be a little risky, he stood outside and vaguely felt some kind of strange fluctuations from inside the church, if nothing else, it should be the realm of the gods mentioned by the Void Walkers from the church, although it was very faint and subtle, like some kind of harmless enchantment force field, but Bai Yi did not dare to take it lightly.
Such a realm can be found in every church in all planes, and the ability to do so alone is beyond the reach of the Voidwalker. And although this thing can't actually defend against anything, and it can't protect believers when some churches are attacked, there will always be a knight of judgment who will come back with the crusaders to find a place afterwards, and this is probably the real role of this divine realm.
Bai Yi looked down at Artie in her arms, her face was burning red, and her consciousness was already a little blurred, just like a newborn beast, curled up in Bai Yi's arms, her hand weakly resting on Bai Yi's breastplate.
So at this time, he definitely couldn't be cowardly, so he held his breath to make himself look like an ordinary person, and then walked towards the door of the church.
When he stepped into the realm of the gods, he hurriedly used his spiritual power to carefully scan the condition of his body, and found that the previous realm that was so close to it did not affect him at all, nor did it attach to him, and even after entering it, he found that this realm only had a thin layer on the periphery, and the inside was empty.
After comparing with other ordinary civilians who entered it, Bai Yi didn't find anything abnormal, which made him feel a lot more relieved, it seems that even true gods can't really care for every corner of the world.
After confirming that it was safe, he stopped in the ink and wanted to rush inside, but was stopped by two crusaders who were in charge of guarding the door.
"Please go to the side and line up." The guard said to him, then gestured to the long queue that was standing nearby.
"She's in a dangerous situation." Bai Yi whispered, looking down at Artie in his arms, the girl was having a painful expression on her face at the moment, her body was trembling slightly, and she looked extremely pitiful.
The ordinary believers who were queuing up next to him also noticed Artie's situation, and even took the initiative to say: "Let him go in first, that girl looks very uncomfortable, and God doesn't want to see her suffer like this." ”
The two guards nodded and let Bai Yi enter.
Bai Yi hurriedly ran to the clinic responsible for treating people, but the pastor there was treating others, the door was tightly closed, and treating diseases was not as simple as treating trauma, it often took a lot of time, and I didn't know how long it would take.
Bai Yi shook his head, he didn't have much time to wait, so he hurriedly walked through the northern half of the church, and walked into the southern half of the area where ordinary believers and tourists were, and regardless of the surprised eyes of others, he directly stopped a junior apprentice and said to him, "I'm looking for Pastor Wesley." ”
This Wesley priest is the master priest who went with them to save Wendini last time, and he looks like a yellow mouse with a sharp beak and cheeks, but he is very strong in his beliefs and his strength is not bad, and he happens to be half an acquaintance with Bai Yi.
If it weren't for the fact that Artie's situation was really bad, Bai Yi really didn't want to deal with the clergy or even owe favors, so he didn't think to come to this yellow-skinned priest in the first place.
However, after listening to his words, the junior apprentice was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and said with some doubts: "We don't have a pastor named Wesley here, your Excellency must have recognized the wrong person, right?" As he spoke, he looked down at Ati in Bai Yi's arms, and was stunned for a moment for her beauty, and then continued with some enthusiasm: "If you want to see a doctor, you can go to the back treatment room." ”
"No, no, no, I know there's a pastor named Wesley, who must have just come back the day before yesterday." Bai Yi continued.
"Just came back? Belch... You don't mean Vicar Wesley, do you? The junior apprentice hurriedly asked.
"Anyway, it's the guy who looks like a yellow mouse." Bai Yi added, he didn't expect this guy to be a small leader with a leader? Although not very valuable vicar.
"That's him, but if it's him, he usually doesn't receive guests casually." The junior apprentice said with some hesitation.
"Tell him that my name is Hope, and that he will come to see me." Bai Yi said in an almost commanding tone.
The junior apprentice may have been frightened by the momentum of the superior who suddenly appeared on Bai Yi's body, or maybe he didn't want to see a beautiful girl like Artie suffer, but in short, he still turned his head and ran to find someone.
The process was a bit slow, and Bai Yi was a little impatient, so he simply found a bench and sat down, put Artie on his lap, and turned his head to look at the enamel glass window on the top of the church and the exquisite frescoes painted around it, which mostly told the heroic deeds of some heroic figures, and there were also a few pictures that he was more familiar with.
For example, the picture of a figure walking alone in the dark, with only a few souls floating around him, is telling the deeds of the missionaries back then, but even if you look at it now, it is not wrong, but the figure that symbolizes the light has long since fallen.
When Bai Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead for the third time, Pastor Yellowskin finally rushed to him out of breath, panting and saying intermittently, "It's really... I'm sorry... Whew, Master of Hope... I'm riddled with mundane things... It's late..."
Are you busy stocking up on winter food? Bai Yi thought angrily, and then looked down at Artie who was lying on the bench.
"There are a lot of people here, it's not convenient to cast magic skills, come over here..." The yellow skin mouse wiped the sweat from his face, took Bai Yi to an empty confessional room next to him, and then began to cast magic skills.
However, after the first cast, Artie's face did not improve in the slightest, and the yellow-skinned mouse priest frowned a little puzzled, and released five or six magic skills in a row, only to see a faint white light constantly sprinkled on Artie's body, but she still did not wake up.
"Go get some holy water, the kind we use ourselves." The yellow mouse said to the junior apprentice who was following him.
Then he turned his head and said to Bai Yi with a face full of apologies: "Master Hope, the situation of this barbarian king is a little strange, and my divine magic has no effect when it is released?" Her body seems to be resisting? ”
Without waiting for him to continue to explain, Bai Yi figured out the reason for himself, which should be the reason for the mark, which made Arti's body automatically reject the power from other gods; Or maybe the power of the true god would not enter her.
It seems that whether it is a god of war or a true god, they are all stingy guys.
