Chapter 65: Cursed Magic
Under the light of the moon and the stars, even though it is not dark at night, especially the holy emblem above the sanctuary is shining in the clear moonlight like water.
The light released by the emblem is not only for lighting, but all the believers in the village who believe in the Lord of Light are like nodes pulling the holy light, so that the whole village can drive away evil spirits, and it also has the effect of warning.
The two of Bandorf were in a hurry, and the village was exceptionally quiet at night, except for the continuous croaking of frogs outside the village, and they did not know where these little things were hiding during the day.
The sanctuary is in the middle of the village, so that the Holy Light can shelter the whole village, but the Freeman family is in the south, and their family makes a living from fishing, and their parents are some of the best swimmers in the village, but his aunt Dononi is not suitable for swimming because of physical problems, and there is no suitable young man in the village to marry for a while, so he often goes to the woods by the river to pick some wild grass and mushrooms, or carry some firewood back.
Freeman's face was anxious, Dononi was gentle and industrious, and she was a good cook, and she often favored Freeman, her sister and brother-in-law had to go out to work during the day, and she basically took care of the housework, and no one in the village did not boast of this virtuous girl.
When he arrived at Freeman's house, he found that as he said, Dononi's face was blue and the corners of her mouth were still foaming cleanly, Freeman's father was sighing, and her mother was lying on the edge of the bed crying.
Bandorf walked to the bed with a straight face, looked at Dononi first, and then prayed with his eyes slightly closed.
"My lord Tonatyu, your light purifies evil and filth ......"
The murmuring of prayers echoed through the humble room, and a holy light poured down from Bandorf's hand and fell on Dononi like spring rain.
When the light disappeared, she found that although the blue color on Dononi's face had disappeared and the corners of her mouth had become clean, her eyes were still closed, and her brows were furrowed tightly, as if she had fallen into the pain of a nightmare, and she had not yet woken up.
"This ...... Pastor Bandorf, why hasn't my sister woken up yet? Freeman's father, who had been watching Bandorf perform his magic with anticipation, couldn't help but ask worriedly when he saw the miraculous scene pass, while his sister still had her eyes closed.
Bandorf's face was grim, and he was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "What I used just now was a low-level divine technique [Removal of Disease] given by my lord, so there are no more diseases and toxins on Dononi's body, but this is also the highest level divine skill I have mastered, looking at her current appearance, it should not be just poisoned or sick...... It's cursed! ”
"What? Curse?! The whole Freman family had heard strange tales even before the rise of the Church, especially since it was close to the Long River, and Shepard remembered that in his previous life, there were countless dead swamps on the south bank, all of which were cursed creatures or inhuman aliens.
Bandorf's face was ugly, and his tone was very heavy: "Yes, curse...... If you want to lift the curse, you can only use the holy power bestowed by our Lord here, unless your Excellency is here, but even if you reach the town of Ahagul, even if you reach the town of Ahagul, you can ......"
He didn't say what he said later, but the Freman family's heart sank, even if they arrived in the town of Ahagul, how could they let the Bishop who was in charge of the affairs of the church near a town, and in the church, who was also one person and above ten thousand people, consume holy power for an ordinary believer?
Seeing the desperate faces of the Freeman family, Bandorf was also a little unbearable: "Don't give up hope first, Dononi's curse is definitely something happening, if you can find the source of the curse that made her fall into the curse, or the curse will be lifted automatically at any time, she will still be able to save ......"
However, in fact, he didn't believe it himself, as the next batch of clergy seeds of the church, the church's internal training let him know a lot of things, especially the expeditionary force in the Old World is in the north, and the popularization of some common sense has already begun, so he can judge that Dononi is cursed, and judging from the symptoms, what she really fell for should be magic [cursed plague]!
A vicious curse spell that can not only infect people with diseases, but also bear curses, if it weren't for the fact that the priesthood of [Lord of Light, Tonatiu], which he believed in, would not even be able to lift the disease on Dononi's body!
But he was helpless about the power of the curse.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the room became more and more solemn, especially the sound of Freeman's mother's sobbing continued, Bandorf and her husband tried to persuade him several times to no avail, and Bandorf had also been in Grass Carp Village for a long time, and he was very familiar with the Freeman family, which made him very uncomfortable.
Unconsciously, the sky was getting brighter, Bandorf sighed, and wanted to comfort Bandorf's parents again, and was about to speak, when his heart moved, turned his head and went out of the house, and the people in the house didn't care, but after a while, he saw Bandorf pulling an imposing warrior into the house, and said loudly: "Don't cry, Dononi is saved!" ”
"What?" Everyone was shocked and looked at the warrior together, although his appearance was not outstanding, but his temperament was calm and condensed, and his whole body exuded a sense of strength and sacredness, which made people feel awe at the sight of him.
"Come, I'll introduce you." Bandorf was very happy: "Arsa! He is the first warrior of the Church! Your Excellency the Knight, appointed by His Majesty the Pope! ”
Although the members of the Order are also called knights, Bandorf is referring to knightly titles as knights, or knights.
Freeman's parents hurriedly saluted Arsa: "Your Excellency! "The church does not have the concept of equality for all, but vigorously promotes the contributions and status of different classes, but it does not support the crushing of status, but human nature is like this, everyone is equal and communist, how can there be a heart to struggle?
All the current armed forces of the church have only been trained for less than three years at most, but Artha has high hopes for Shepard after all, not only to stabilize the power of [Shanlan], but also to be extremely motivated, and now in terms of professional level, he is already a high-level [Church Knight], but counting the attribute improvement of the power of the bloodline, his strength is comparable to an ordinary epic profession! It's just that there is no mental power mutation that will inevitably come with an epic breakthrough.
"Your Excellency Arta, my qualifications are too shallow to borrow the holy power or higher divine magic bestowed by my lord to cure this kind believer, and I will trouble Your Excellency." Bandorf's face was as usual, admitting that he lacked strength.
Arsa was mild-mannered and said with a smile: "As members of the church, we are all fighting for the glory of my Lord, Pastor Bandorf, you don't have to be so polite. ”
After all, the church was founded in a grass-roots manner, and it was the most energetic stage in the prosperity of the church, and with Shepard in charge, there were still those bureaucratic and worldly vices in sight, and the internal atmosphere was still clear, and there was faith cohesion, and everyone did their best.
Freeman's father rubbed his hands and didn't know what to say, so he had to nervously watch Arsa walk to Dononi's bedside, he opened Dononi's eyelids and looked at it, closed his eyes slightly to sense something, compared to Bandorf, he had received more knowledge in the church, and said in a deep voice at this time: "Sure enough, it's a curse." ”
