Chapter 454: Temptation into the Demon (1)
Werther, who has led the evacuation of refugees to the neighborhood, . The feeling of reading a book at zero o'clock woke up Werther, who was almost 'enslaved' by thousands of years of faith.
Looking back blankly, looking at the overabundance of refugees who had followed him, Witt was shocked.
"Such a powerful faith, if it weren't for the sudden palpitations of my heart, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what I've done now."
Werther, who regained his composure, felt a pang in his heart. He thought that he could withstand the 'side effects' of faith, but he didn't expect that not long after he started, he was led into a ditch by the power of faith.
Werther, who had been pitted by the vigilance of believing in this thing, had a new level of vigilance in his heart.
But what was that warning sign just now? I didn't let faith get in the way of this feeling. Thinking about the power of his faith at this time, what could bring him a threat, Witt couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Werther, who fell into Selren's calculations, didn't know that the other party was not targeting him in the first place, but against the refugees who followed him out of the church.
Werther, who had no choice but to be more cautious, had not taken two steps before he was forced to stop by the commotion ahead.
"What's going on up ahead?"
As Werther brows furrowed slightly, one of his priests hurriedly squeezed over to ask questions to the soldiers who were in charge of guarding and defending.
After a short conversation, and after getting the reason for the dispute from the soldiers, the priest did not dare to make a good claim, so he ran back to Werther's side, whispered a few words, and stood beside him.
"Plague people?"
Hearing the news, Werther, who was slightly disturbed by his faith, was also a little difficult to pay attention to. Intellectually, he should isolate these refugees with the plague, and after a little pacification and treatment, see if the situation can be formed into a team independently.
But the Blessed Virgin, who had become the Blessed Virgin, was very resistant to the best solution, and only thought of leading them forward and evacuating this dangerous place.
The countless sounds of help and pleading in his heart almost tortured him mad after coming out of the hellish training of the Inquisition.
"Soldiers, stand back first, take them with you!"
As soon as these words came out, Werther, who had returned to his senses, felt that he was about to suffer. Sure enough, in the face of thousands of pairs of strange eyes, Werther could only explain the mistake in one sentence.
They are all believers in the Light, God's people. Although they are sick now, they should not be abandoned. ”
After speaking, Werther pointed to a little girl with a face covered in sores among the plague people, and said, "Most of you here are not as religious in the Light as she is. If such believers are not saved, what kind of people can be saved? ”
Ignoring the ashamed stares of the crowd, Werther gave a small amount of his faith to the little girl with sores on her face.
After the baptism of faith, the little girl who was originally sick and had dull eyes gradually healed and disappeared from the thick sores on her face, and her eyes regained their former vigor and vitality.
The refugees who saw all these changes shouted that a miracle had come. However, while Werther, the initiator, enjoyed a wave of faith in his heart, the shadow in his heart became even thicker.
It was not surprising to him that one ten-thousandth of faith alone would cure the little girl. However, there was no brightness in the little girl's eyes, but it made Werther's face really ugly.
What does this mean? This shows that the little girl has been transformed by faith and has become a puppet of faith. Of course, this state is not impossible. With the passage of time, the little girl's strength and physical strength increase, and she may be able to get rid of this 'slavery'.
But none of this applies to Werther. Werther, who bears this massive amount of faith, is now like a barrel of dynamite, which may explode at the slightest sight of Mars.
Werther, who was on a higher level of vigilance against faith, took a deep breath to calm down the depression in his heart, and decided to secretly squander some of his faith. Now, he doesn't have the confidence he had at the beginning, because he too has been in that terrible state.
The terrifying state of sleepwalking, which I don't know afterwards, can only be known by experiencing it myself.
However, Werther, who has brushed a wave of faith, is not without benefits. At least, after he treated the little girl, the refugee believers who had been following him were much more honest.
"Pastor, deal with these suffering people, and let's go on our way."
Unbeknownst to Werther, this wave of plague was artificially created by Ash's pagans. And the argument between them and the soldiers in charge of the guard is also the result of Ash's remote control. The purpose was to get closer to Werther and make him resist the beliefs he carried.
Only if Werther does not trust the faith in his body will he refrain from using it. The number of times the faith is used, which means that the refugees who follow him will die en masse. After that, Werther, who has been rebuffed by faith, will incarnate the most perfect fallen demon god in their hearts.
At Werther's orders, the priests began to treat them. Of course, their main purpose is to use magic to isolate the source of the disease, so that the healthy but fearful accompanying refugees will not be easily infected.
After doing all this, Werther once again led the group of refugees on the road to evacuation.
"Is it a coincidence? Or is it artificial? Demonic energy should be able to speed up the spread of diseases, right? If it is really artificial, do those who planned all this want to weaken the bodies of these refugees and contaminate them with more demonic energy? ”
On the way out, Witt had countless thoughts in his mind. This dangerous situation has to make him cautious and cautious, and if he accidentally makes a mistake, the fact that he leads the refugees to retreat will no longer make sense.
It's a pity that Werther, who is burdened with a lot of faith, has lost the ability to give birth to dark thoughts. Otherwise, as long as he has the idea of 'this group of refugees are dead, I can also evacuate', he will be able to understand the plans of the demons. Because that kind of thought will cause faith to punish him.
Little did he know that since he had carried the faith he had accumulated for thousands of years, he had been bound by an invisible shackle between him and these refugees. The life and death of a refugee is closely related to him.
As the apprehensive Werther hit the road again. On the ship where the sea was extinguished, Serren took a glass of sweet wine and asked Ash, "Are you ready for a plan to further stimulate the target?" ”
"It's ready to go, and it's ready to go as planned."
After receiving Ash's answer, Serren shook the glass in his hand with pride. It was as if they were formalizing the invisible transparent glass, and the wine in that glass was Werther.
No matter how the wine in the glass is shaken, it is always inseparable from the shackles of the tall glass.
