Chapter 40: Giving up treatment
When people face fear, in addition to praying to the gods, they naturally vent their dissatisfaction and fear. It is true that for the people of Ryan Town, Ed's appearance is too much of a coincidence.
The plague broke out the day after Id's appearance, which made the people of the town wonder if Id was a dark priest who believed in evil gods and brought death.
Looking at the smashed rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs, Ed couldn't help frowning and pulled Shirley down behind him. Id opened a thin shield to keep Rotten Tomatoes and rotten eggs in front of him.
"Little Fourth Brother, it's not like this! Brother Ed is a good guy! The little girl who was hiding behind Ide suddenly stepped forward and spread her arms in front of Ide, "Shirley can feel Brother Id's kindness, so Brother Ide can't be a bad person." ”
Seeing the little girl bravely stand up to defend herself, Yide couldn't help but smile slightly, and at this moment, Yide's afterglow suddenly reached the fire that suddenly appeared not far away.
Looking at the smoke and fire rising into the sky, Ide's eyes widened.
"Ding! At the heart of life, one citizen of Ryan Town died, and now there are fifty-six left. ”
A system prompt suddenly made Yide confused. What is the situation that the plague is starting to kill people? No, it's the fire over there! In that direction...... Why is it so much like the little girl Shirley who is about to go.
Yide didn't hesitate at all, and hugged the little girl who was blocking him in his arms, and a golden light flashed, and the magic was superb.
"Get out of the way, I don't have time to waste with you, life is precious, saving people is important! If you have the heart, hurry up and put out the fire! It's on fire over there! ”
Yide brutally broke through the blockade of several people brought by the fourth brother, and rushed to the location of the fire at high speed.
"What's on fire, don't try to run bastard!"
The fourth brother, who was stumbled by Ed, just wanted to get angry, when he heard Id's words ringing in his ears, and when he turned around and just wanted to catch up with Ed, he was stunned by the smoke and dust that came into view, and saw the flames in the direction of Mrs. Lisa's house!
"Fourth brother, what should we do when we come down? If you don't want to cut him, this kind of demon priest should be burned alive by the flames! ”
"What to do? What about your brother! Harry, go tell the townspeople to put out the fire! There was only Mrs. Lisa's house in that direction. The others are catching up, let's go put out the fire! Fast! ”
The eldest boy, known as the fourth brother, saw the fire rising into the sky, and immediately gave up the pursuit of Ed, and commanded his friends without hesitation, and at the same time immediately ran with his companions, chased after Id, and rushed to Mrs. Lisa's house.
The flames soared into the sky, and the blazing flames enveloped the house, and Ide felt right, it was Mrs. Lisa's house who had happened.
Under the fire, the whole house crackled.
This flame is definitely not a naturally caused fire, and a naturally caused fire cannot spread so quickly, it is man-made! Ide even saw traces of stacked firewood on the edge of the two-story wooden house.
Arson, homicide?
Ide looked at these arson marks in surprise, but now is not the time to think about catching the arsonist, Ide knows through the conversation between the former RI and Mrs. Lisa that Mrs. Lisa's family is a family of three, which means that little Shirley's father or mother, and now there is one still alive!
It's important to save people! Ide looked left and right, and then saw the fourth brother he had just met rushing towards him with a bucket of water. Yide's eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed to the little fourth brother in stride, snatched the bucket of life-saving water, and poured it on himself without hesitation.
"Boy, I think you're very good, please organize a firefight, and watch Xiao Shirley. I rushed in to take a look. Maybe you can save someone! ”
The black priest's robe was wet and sticky to Ide, and he stuffed the little Shirley who was crying in his arms into the arms of the little fourth brother.
Id's discomfort in the drenched body was soaked, and after putting on a holy shield for himself again, after talking to the big boy and the little fourth brother quickly, Ide immediately turned around, and made a brutal leap, crashing into the burning wooden house.
"Hey! What's the situation with you! The little fourth brother, who had originally changed from carrying a bucket to holding a crying little girl, was just about to get angry, when he saw Ed crashing into the fire scene, and the little fourth brother was suddenly choked by the behavior of this "demon priest".
Is this really what a priest would do? For the sake of other people's lives, he did not hesitate to put himself in danger, maybe little Shirley was right, this Father Ed is really a good person.
"Hey! Father, beware! ”
After almost being licked by the tongue of fire, the little fourth brother immediately came back to his senses, and he came to the scene of the fire, regardless of whether Ed could hear it or not, and roared loudly.
Id, who rushed to the scene of the fire, covered his wet sleeve over his mouth and nose, but the next moment, Ide knew that his current efforts were completely in vain.
The Holy One Bracelet, a piece of equipment that was almost forgotten by Ide, emitted a faint white glow, directly separating the pyrotechnic gas from Id, and now Ide only had to consider the lack of oxygen supply, and took two difficult breaths.
After looking left and right to make sure that the hall was empty, Ide found his way, kicked open the door, and burst into the bedroom of the wooden house.
"Ahem......"
A slight cough sounded and immediately shocked Ide.
Everything in the cabin became quite fragile under the raging fire, and when he pushed open the bedroom door, Ide saw two bodies lying on the bed, and a faint cough came from the bed.
It's Lady Lisa who is still alive!
Ide stepped forward quickly, and a healing technique submerged into Mrs. Lisa's body, and immediately shocked Mrs. Lisa, who was already on the verge of dying.
Mrs. Lisa opened her smoked and dry eyes, and vaguely seemed to see Id's figure, "Ahem, Father Id?" ”
"Lady Lisa, please hold me tight. I'll take you out! Ide glanced at the bearded man who was lying on the bed and was silent, silently blessed him, and then reached out and picked up Lady Lisa in the posture of a princess.
"Father Ed...... My husband and I are ashamed of my lord, and the truth of the matter is in the hands of my girl. I'm sorry, but it was my husband who let out the demon. People like us probably don't have a chance to return to the arms of the Lord, and we sinful souls can only go into the depths of hell. Ahem...... "Just as Ide hugged Lady Lisa, Ide suddenly discovered that there was also a plague-infected ash on Lady Lisa's forehead!"
At the same time, Lady Lisa's mouth turned out to be black and red poisonous blood, which was different from the symptoms of the plague.
Mrs. Lisa's vitality quickly dissipated under a destructive force, this, this is poisoning? Suicide! Mrs. Lisa it was suicidal. So this fire, could it be that Mrs. Lisa also directed it?
Mrs. Lisa suddenly became a little more nervous, and this was a reflection of the time when she was dying!
"Father Ed...... Please, there's nothing wrong with only little Shirley. It's all my husband and I who are at fault, please raise little Shirley, please! Let us two sinners bear this iniquity. Mrs. Lisa whispered to Ed as if she were going to tell the story, and her words were full of love for her precious daughter, Shirley.
As soon as Lady Lisa's words fell, Lady Lisa struggled to fall from Id's arms with a hint of strength from the flashback.
"Ding! The Heart of Life, there are fifty-five remaining townsfolk in Ryan Town! ”
Another life dissipated in front of Id's eyes, Id's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth suddenly, bastard! Don't you just don't believe me when you say all that! I can save you, as long as you believe me, I am a fourth-level priest, and I will do my best! Four days, just four days, believe me, I can resist! No one will die at that time, so ...... The old mayor is too, and so is Mrs. Lisa, why do you have to choose to give up treatment, choose to believe me, at least there is a glimmer of hope!
Rumble!
The flammable timber frame structure can no longer support the weight of the house.
Under the eyes of the eldest boy and the fourth brother and more than a dozen townspeople who rushed to fight the fire, Shirley's wooden house collapsed under the raging fire.
"Wow! Daddy, Mommy, Brother Ed! ”
The fire mercilessly engulfed little Shirley's home, and the flames grew stronger and stronger as Little Shirley shouted hoarsely.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the flames, it was Id!
Seeing that the priest finally managed to escape at the last moment, the little fourth brother suddenly waved his fist excitedly, and then saw that behind Yide, the black priest's robe was actually set on fire, and the little fourth brother immediately lifted a bucket of water and sprinkled it on Yide without saying a word.
Yide, who had just broken through the flames, fell to the ground on his back, and was poured cold by a bucket of water, and his whole body was suddenly agitated, and the unwillingness and anger in Yide's original heart were suddenly extinguished by this bucket of water.
Ide knew very well, and the old mayor, Lady Lisa, and others also knew very well that this terrible plague was spreading, and Ide alone could not help everyone at all, they wanted to commit suicide or had committed suicide, in addition to being really unable to bear the torture of this disease, in order to leave the chance of survival to others.
Id's anger at others for not believing in him is actually just Id's fantasy that he can save everyone.
"Damn, damn, damn!" Ide slammed his fist on the ground, venting his anger at the Lisa couple who had given up on the treatment and his anger at his helplessness against the plague. The fourth-level priest was helpless in the face of a plague, and Yide's whole person used a sense of madness, and the purification technique and healing technique could only play a role in suppressing the disease. If only that sixth-level divine scroll were still in his hand, but unfortunately he had already used it.
"Brother Id! Shirley, Shirley's family is gone! Mom and Dad are gone, too! Just...... Just now, Shirley almost thought that even Brother Ide was going to be lost. Woo woo...... "Little Shirley ran past the little fourth brother and threw herself on Ed's body and cried bitterly.
Ed came back to his senses and looked at the girl who was crying bitterly on his stomach, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
For Shirley, who lost her home and parents within a day, Ed recalled Mrs. Lisa's last appeal, and Ed couldn't help but take little Shirley into his arms with pity.
"I'm sorry, little Shirley. It's my brother's incompetence that didn't bring your mom and dad back. Ide patted the little girl's back and said with guilt, and then Ide seemed to think of something, and looked at the crying little girl with sincere eyes, "I'm sorry, little Shirley." Your parents...... Shirley, although the timing is a little wrong, but how about letting Brother Ed be your family from today onwards? Would you like Brother Ed to be your godfather? I will treat and love little Shirley like your mom and dad. ”
