"Stop!"
Moon Shadow waved the branch in her hand lightly, and looked coldly at the two boys in front of her, a little girl in civilian clothes hiding behind her, a panicked look on her little face.
A quarter of an hour ago, Boudley had been beaten up by these two guys when she accidentally splashed muddy water on them while running, and Moon Shadow happened to be back from a workout out of town, so she decided to teach these two girls a lesson.
"Alice, it's none of your business, she's just a civilian!" The older boy said boldly. Seeing Moon Shadow's menacing appearance, he was a little nervous.
"Civilians? Without these civilians, where did all the clothes on your body and the food in your mouth come from? Ungrateful guys! Moon Shadow became more and more angry as she spoke, picking up the branch and slashing it over her face.
"Woo......"
The two boys burst into tears, and not only were their faces bloodied, but also their beautiful clothes were torn, and they ran away.
Moon Shadow was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect these two cowards to run away resistantly: "Hey, don't go, you haven't apologized yet!" She pulled Boudley in pursuit. And so there was a very interesting scene on the path—two and a half boys running crying in front, followed unhurriedly by two girls, the girl in front of her waving a twig in her hand, and from time to time striking the backward fellow's ass, and then another pig-killing howl echoed in the path.
The town of Carrot, located in the southern part of the Dresses Empire, is a very beautiful mountain village, because of its beautiful environment and pleasant climate, many nobles have bought properties here, and there are seven or eight manors like Tulip nearby. Although these nobles did not harass the nearby commoners, those stubborn nobles' children did not cause much trouble, only because of the insurmountable social rank, which commoner dared to protest to the nobles?!
The afterglow of the setting sun casts a magnificent red over the town, and wisps of smoke rise in the shade of green trees, making the town of Carrot look particularly peaceful at dusk.
However, this silence was soon shattered by a scream, and on the path outside the village, two boys were chased by a girl along the way crying wolf.
"Miss Alice?!"
Moon Shadow only felt a flash in front of her eyes, and a white figure appeared in front of her, and her soft voice sounded very comfortable.
"Auntie, who are you? Do we know each other? ”
Moon Shadow reluctantly stopped, looking at the middle-aged woman in front of her suspiciously, especially the white robe on her body, it was strange that there was a circle of gold edges, which was not quite the same as the white-robed priest she had seen before.
"My name is Mina, and I was introduced by Freeman, and he said there was a strange little girl at Tulip Manor!" Mina said with a smile.
"I'm not surprised that he's talking nonsense!" Moon Shadow rolled her eyes and looked at Mina's robe curiously, "Auntie, your priest's robe is different from Grandpa Freeman's!" ”
"Hehe, because Auntie is not a priest, but a healer!" Mina smiled and bent over, reaching out and touching the top of Moon Shadow's head.
"Don't touch my head, it'll be stupid!" Moon Shadow shook her head, trying to find a record of the therapist in her memory.
Healers are believers in the god of life and are a very respected profession on the mainland. The healer's specialty of 'Light of Life' is a healing magic that is better than divine magic, and is obtained by cultivating the Life Force and the God of Life Jolie, to heal injuries with the help of her divine powers.
Since most of the therapists are indifferent people, they usually travel around the continent, helping the sick, and rarely show up in the metropolis, and because such people are particularly rare, there are few healers, even a junior therapist is also the target of the aristocratic family - family doctors.
Healers also have hierarchies, as can be seen from their robes, the black-edged and white-robed ones are junior healers; The red-edged and white-robed are intermediate therapists; Silver-edged and white-robed are senior healers; The gold-rimmed white robe is the high priest.
"Hehe, let Auntie help you check your body." Mina grinned and held out her hand on top of Moon Shadow's head, ignoring Moon Shadow's protests, and a soft white light emanated from her palm and sank into Moon Shadow's body.
Suddenly, Moon Shadow's body was like an incandescent light bulb with electricity on, and her whole body glowed softly white, but luckily it was dinner time, there was no one on the street, and the two little boys had run away without a trace when Mina stopped her, otherwise she would have to be considered a monster.
What a strong force for life!
Mina was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, such a pure life force, could it be the divine envoy of the god of life?
……
Moon Shadow looked at Mina blankly, and suddenly shouted, "Witch—"
Push Mina away and run towards the manor, oh my! This seemingly kind aunt is so terrible, she just used herself as a human-shaped candlestick when she first met, and she didn't make herself a 'human barbecued pork bun' after a while?!
Hag? Mina, who was in ecstasy, was startled by Moon Shadow and watched her flee into the Tulip Manor in a strange way.
"Sylise! Hurry, hurry up and close the doors and windows! Moon Shadow ran home panting, and as soon as she entered, she asked Sylise to close the doors and windows, just ...... It's horrible!
"Miss, what's wrong?" Cylise was also taken aback.
"There's an evil witch in town, and she almost lit me with a sky lantern just now!" Moon Shadow looked out the window with trepidation, afraid that the 'witch' would follow.
"What is 'lighting a sky lantern'?" Cylise was a little puzzled.
"That's it...... The kind that burns people alive! Moon Shadow explained.
"God of Light is above! It's so wicked! Cylis's little face turned white with fright.
Just when the master and servant were suspicious, there was a 'bang' knock on the door.
"Who?" Moon Shadow asked nervously, and a cyan wind blade formed in her hand - the Countess was only a trainee magician, and there was only a single 'wind blade' magic in the wind attack magic she mastered, and with Moon Shadow's elemental body, it could be instantaneous - it could be released without chanting a spell.
"Miss, it's me, I'm a guest in front, Madame, please come over!" Outside the door came the voice of the countess's personal maid, Dia.
"What kind of guest?" Moon Shadow opened the door and poked her head out to look around.
"It's High Priestess Mina!" Diya replied.
"Oh, let's go check it out."
After making sure that she was safe, Moon Shadow followed Dia to the front living room with confidence.
As soon as I entered the door, the first thing I saw was that the Countess was talking to a woman in a white gold-rimmed sacrificial robe, and the woman who looked very familiar inadvertently showed her face, causing Moon Shadow to let out an exclamation.
"Witch?!"
