Chapter 61: The Third Advent

......

At Wu Hui's advice, six probationary priests, including Catherina, inspected the well in the city one by one, and soon discovered the problematic well, and immediately blocked the well.

However, even with the timely blockade, the situation has not improved, and civilians continue to fall. In the short time they were inspecting the wells, the number of civilians who had fallen had reached 134.

Even the soldiers of the Knights Templar and the Templar Guard had the same symptoms.

To make matters worse, Catherina also detected a dark elemental reaction in the well water she took out, suspecting that someone might have been poisoned with dark potions.

The only one who can brew dark potions is dark wizards.

Wizards have never been uncommon on the mainland, and in today's decline of the Bright Sect, wizards, as one of the few professions that master the mysteries of herbs, have a much higher status than before.

However, even now, dark wizards are extremely unpopular.

Because dark wizards worship darkness, worship death, and believe that death is the destination of the soul. Historically, many large-scale plagues have been caused by dark wizards. These people are notorious.

Catherina and the others were angry and anxious.

They finally occupied Gruburg, so that the development of the Holy See of Light gradually on the right track, and there were actually dark wizards who came out to spread the plague, isn't this a deliberate attempt to get along with them?

However, no matter how angry you are, you still have to save people first.

Dark wizards have always been secretive, and dark witchcraft is unique in concealing their whereabouts, and it is not easy to find them.

Soon, though, the six priests ran out of spirits.

Because of the news from the quarantine area, the symptoms of the elderly who first showed symptoms suddenly worsened, and they were about to die. The six of them hurried back to the quarantine area and tried their best to save the old man.

However, just as the old man was just right, another person showed worsening symptoms.

The six had no choice but to continue the rescue without stopping.

In the midst of the continuous rescue, the passage of time has become extraordinarily long.

"Whew~ finally cured another one. ”

Catherina loosened the sackcloth that covered her mouth and nose a little, wiped the hot sweat from her forehead, and then looked down at the old man who had stopped wailing and fell into a deep sleep on the wooden bed.

The six priests worked together to continuously perform the Light Healing Technique, and it took a full quarter of an hour to finally pull the person back from the death line.

However, this is just one of the many patients.

In the makeshift quarantine area, more than 100 patients are waiting for their treatment.

Catherine looked up and saw patients lying on their beds groaning in pain, many of them turning their heads to look at them, and the hope and longing in their eyes pierced her eyes like steel needles.

The air was filled with the foul smell of pus, and the atmosphere was suffocating.

"Your Highness, it's not okay to go on like this~" Susan pulled the linen cloth covering her face off the bridge of her nose, her tired face showing a little anxiety, "The plague is spreading too fast, and our healing speed can't keep up at all." ”

Harry was a little calmer than her, but his expression at the moment was also a little anxious: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, when you were performing your magic just now, Knight Langdon sent someone to say that someone in the knights had also fallen, and he was being carried over. ”

Hearing this, Catherina and Susan were fine, but the three new priests, Arya, Chrissy, and Ulysses, panicked.

"Your Highness the Holy Maiden, there are only a few of us, there is no time to treat, they will all die~"

The youngest priest, Chrissy, was only sixteen years old, and she had never experienced such a battle, and now her voice was already crying.

"Don't panic. Our Lord is watching us from heaven, and Our Lord will not forsake His people. Catherina looked at her soothingly, her blue eyes resolute and peaceful.

Under her gaze, Chrissy calmed down a little, and even Arya and Ulysses slowly regained their composure.

Yes~ God is omnipotent, how can he not deal with the plague?

They are helpless against the plague, and in the end, they are just too weak. As long as they practice diligently, sooner or later, the plague will no longer be a problem for them.

In the kingdom of God, Wu Hui has been paying attention to them through the eyes of God, and he is also relieved to see that they have done things in an orderly manner and rescued the dying believers in time.

But Catherina's strength was still too weak after all, and they alone were not enough to deal with the plague.

This time, he still had to take action himself.

It just so happened that he had just flipped through the divine technique of Shen Geri and found a divine technique specifically aimed at the plague, which could just be used in this matter. It's a pity that after casting that magic spell, the 1 point of divine power he just saved up probably has to be used again.

Thinking of the divine power that was about to leave him, he felt distressed and panicked.

It's a pity, no matter how distressed he is, he can only grit his teeth and spend this divine power. Because the loss of believers is more distressing to him than the loss of divine power.

Sighing, he finally made up his mind, and said to Catherina: "Let everyone in the town gather under the idol of the sacred square, whether they are sick or not, no one is missing." I personally cast a magic spell to dispel the plague. ”

Catherina's heart was relieved, and she felt as if she had a backbone, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, my lord, give me an hour, no, half an hour, and I will ensure that everyone in the town will appear in the square one by one." ”

"Good. ”

Wu Hui agreed, and cut off the connection with Catherina.

Soon, half an hour passed.

Catherina really brought the entire town of civilians to the statue, even babies who were still swaddling and people with disabilities who had limited mobility. The few who were unwilling to come, and who tried to resist stubbornly, were directly escorted over by the soldiers, strictly guarded, and never allowed to step out of the square.

The sick were carried to the square early and placed in a circle around the altar.

Looking down from above, the entire square is densely packed with people, not far more than the miracle seven days ago.

Led by Catherina, solemn prayers soon rang out in the square, asking the gods to have mercy and free them from the plague.

At the same time, the channel of faith also trembled rapidly.

Wu Hui took a deep breath, his consciousness sank into the godhead, ready to descend.

......

In the corner next to the square, a shadow suddenly squirmed.

Immediately after, the figure of Miss Judy, the dark witch, dressed in a purple hooded robe, gradually emerged from the shadows.

"It turned out that I was going to pray for the gods to come down to drive away the plague, what a stupidity~" Looking at the crowd gathered in the square, a mocking smile appeared on her pale face, "If the gods would save you, the Holy See of Light would not have fallen to the point it is now." ”

Seeing that Catherina had simply identified the source of the infection, and quickly quarantined all the patients and all the people who had drunk the water from the well, she was worried that the plan would go wrong. Now it seems that she is really worried in vain.

All gathered in one place, with the contagiousness of the "kiss of death", these people will surely die.

However.

As soon as she finished speaking, a flash of light suddenly flashed on the statue of the god as white as jade on the altar.

The next moment.

Divine golden light burst from the statue and illuminated the entire sacred square.

"Zhun Er and other believers wish. ”

Wu Hui's pretended solemn voice also swept over the entire square at the same time, wrapped in vast divine might.

In an instant, the entire square was boiling.

Almost all the believers were so excited that their faces turned red and excited, and the fanatical mood swept through the square. Even the civilians who had been forcibly escorted unconsciously weakened their legs and knelt down.

In the corner, Judy, the dark witch, froze.
