Chapter 38: Temptation

Before Anne could reply, Piger, who had been following behind, suddenly popped up, startling the priest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Frost wolf?"

Although he is only a bronze high-ranking priest, he is already a person of high status in the town. Suddenly frightened, he immediately wanted to unleash a holy light punishment, but saw that this fierce-looking creature quickly hid behind the girl.

"It doesn't hurt." Anne explained, "This frostwolf was picked up from somewhere else and has no attack power. ”

Seeing that Pijie was indeed harmless, the priest frowned and nodded, put his right hand on his chest and asked politely, "Is there anything that can help you?" ”

Anne made a gesture in front of her to represent the Light, and replied with a face full of reverence: "I am a preacher in the city of Pabulatan, and I have spread the blessings of the Light to the people of the Duchy along the way, and I hope to relieve the suffering of the common people of the town here." ”

Hearing Anne's words, although there was a moment of doubt, it was not a good thing for such a church where there were not many believers to pray on weekdays, but I didn't know how capable the girl in front of me who claimed to be an evangelist was.

Soon, however, the pastor felt that he had thought too much about it. The fact that she had a frost wolf from the other side and was able to come here safely from Babuletan, thousands of miles away, proved that she must have something special. Even if it doesn't work, it's much better than himself, a priest who can only use the simplest Holy Light healing techniques.

Soon, the bell in front of the church rang "ding-tinkling".

In a town where everyone is busy making a living, the church exists mostly as a symbolic thing. The townsfolk remember the last time the temple bell rang because the candles inside had ignited the curtains and caused the fire, but this time there didn't seem to be any smoke.

Soon, word spread that preachers from afar wanted to help the townspeople get free medical treatment. In such a barren place, even if the townspeople were sick, they all relied on it to get through. Andrei, the only priest in town, sometimes helps them for free, but after all, his ability is limited, and he can't do anything about the slightly more complicated conditions.

Today, I heard that people have come from thousands of miles to provide them with free medical treatment, and the townspeople are naturally happy. But when they came to the temple and saw a young woman in front of them, they couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Little girl, she looks quite beautiful, it's good to be my grandson's daughter-in-law, but it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that she can cure diseases."

"Auntie, your grandson is only eight years old, I wonder if I am in a hurry about marrying a daughter-in-law, how can I leave some opportunities for us young people."

In such a border town, the townspeople rarely see god-level people who live for hundreds of years, so it is natural to judge a person's seniority by their apparent age. But they don't know how long this "preacher" who is seen as a little girl has lived. In fact, Piggie was also curious, but Anne was tight-lipped about it and never mentioned it to anyone.

In a short time, the church, which was rarely visited on a normal day, was full of men and women, and of course there were not only those who wanted to see a doctor, but also many bachelors. These guys usually only see the beauty on the tin painting in the only bar in the town, but today there is a living one in the town, and naturally it spreads ten or ten times.

"Light bless." An old woman was the first to tremble, holding a small baby in her arms, and said with a sad face, "Girl, my grandson seems to be having a fever today, please show him." ”

For such a simple ailment, Anne's treatment requires little energy. She gently stroked the baby's face, but in fact, she secretly channeled the healing energy into the baby's body through the palm of her hand. Soon, some beads of sweat began to appear on the baby's face, and the crying voice became quieter.

In the process, Pastor Andre behind her has actually been secretly observing her all the time. As a devout practitioner who had studied healing magic, André had never seen such a healing method, neither chanting nor using gestures, which was truly magical.

At first, the pastor, who was no longer young, was captivated by Anne's smooth and delicate hands. Even when stroking the baby, these hands are not inferior in comparison, as if they were salvaged from milk. Andrei heard that in big cities, some big nobles use milk to wash their hands, and he doesn't know if he can wash this effect.

But soon, Andre noticed the white-purple light that overflowed from Anne's palm, and couldn't help frowning slightly. Although he didn't know much about the advanced healing arts, he knew that the power of the Holy Light emitted a milky white or silver light, and it could never be this purple.

Spell?

Pastor Andrei's body shook suddenly. That's right, in his pitiful knowledge reserve, he does have such a memory. And this spell is not of a neutral race, but can only be cast by a night mage.

But what Andre didn't understand was that this was the Sanctuary, the place where the Holy Light gathered, and if the girl in black in front of him was a member of the Night Race, how could she not be affected by the Holy Light?

Although she has a good impression of this girl, if she is really a Dark Night Race, then she has to take some measures. André felt that he might not be an opponent if he really made a move, but as a priest who dispelled evil, it was his job.

Thinking like this, he secretly drew a five-pointed star in the palm of his right hand, and then summoned a part of the holy light in his body, and whispered a spell in his mouth, and a not strong purifying light hit Anne's body directly.

If the girl in front of her is disguised as a night race, she will not only be harmed by the effect of this purifying light, but also expose her prototype. A second before the results were produced, the pastor couldn't help but close his eyes, because he was really afraid to see what he didn't want to see.

However, when he opened his eyes again a second later, he found that everything was normal. Anne sat upright in the front, and the old man touched the child's forehead, and with a look of joy on his face, he left with great gratitude.

Andrei let out a long sigh. It seems that he should have misremembered, or he was too short-sighted to know that there was such a magic technique.

And the people who were still in a wait-and-see state saw Anne try her hand at it, and they all understood that the girl in front of them was not an ordinary preacher, and immediately all gathered around to ask this and that. Pi Jie, who was originally squatting on the ground, seemed to have lost his physical deterrent power all of a sudden, and almost made everyone squeeze under the table.
