Benjamin shook his head.

The degree of brainwashing of the church was too deep, and even if he showed a helpful attitude towards the crowd, these people subconsciously thought that the mage was trying to harm them, which was really a bit troublesome.

Thankfully, these people's desire to heal their families seems to trump their stereotypes of mages.

"Yes...... But I can't do that much. If I really have to give my soul, then let me go to hell! I—I want to save my children......"

Not only the middle-aged woman, but also the others looked at Benjamin with a little anticipation in their eyes.

"You...... Can you really cure everybody?"

Benjamin nodded.

Of course, there are still some diehards in the village. Most of them were elderly people, staring at Benjamin with wide eyes, and then at the surrounding villagers, and suddenly showed angry expressions.

"Don't believe him......! He's a mage, you're rebelling against the gods, no wonder the gods would bring us such calamities, you ungodly people...... You're going to bring disaster upon us!"

"Damn mage, get out of our village!"

Seeing this, Benjamin suddenly waved his hand, and the wind of water vapor blew, and the few fanatics who stood up to protest were blown to the ground by him, and the protest stopped abruptly.

All the villagers were so frightened by his hand that they fell to their knees and trembled.

Glancing around indifferently, Benjamin slowly spoke:

"God has long abandoned this continent, and whether it is disaster or luck, it has long had nothing to do with God's will. The present church is just a bunch of deceitful people who promise you a safe life, but they can't solve even a plague. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head and pointed to the priest who was trapped in the blister, and his voice echoed loudly in the open space in front of the church: "You have also seen such a church, such a god, why do you still believe in them?"

Many people raised their heads and peeked at the priest in a trembling voice.

The priest's expression was desperate. He couldn't break through the shackles of the blister, he shouted for a long time, but he couldn't even wear his voice, his appearance at the moment was embarrassed and ridiculous, how could he have half of the solemn appearance he had before?

For a while, the villagers looked at each other and were silent.

And Benjamin continued to speak at this moment: "I am just an ordinary mage, and I have never had any contact with the so-called demons since I studied magic. Magic is just a tool, there is no good or bad, humans can use it to fight against monsters, and they can also use it to heal the sick. As long as it is used in a good direction, magic never brings any disaster. ”

With that, he stretched out his hand and drew a string of characters at the patient outside.

"Elemental Instruction? ”

A glimmer of light flashed, and the water elementals spontaneously gathered and converged on top of everyone's heads. Immediately afterward, a light rain fell from the sky and fell on the cheeks of every patient, and everyone's faces suddenly flashed with a strange brilliance.

The abundant vitality emanated from this rain, and even the grass and trees on the roadside, stained with raindrops, and the withered yellow leaves seemed to suddenly become fresh and tender.

Looking at such a strange scene, all the villagers held their breath, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in their eyes full of tears.

Raindrops fell on the sick people, and some even fell on the nearby villages. Subsequently, all the rain is automatically absorbed by their bodies. The patient's face has improved at a faster rate that is visible to the naked eye, and the villagers who are not sick have suddenly been swept away with fatigue, and they feel refreshed and comfortable like never before.

Suddenly, their faces showed excited expressions.

"Really, really...... Magic can really heal them......"

And the old men who were the most resistant were also looking at this miraculous rain at this moment, looking stunned, opening their mouths wide, but they couldn't say anything.

The rain lasted for more than two minutes. When the rain stopped, the ground was dry and all the raindrops were absorbed. The sunlight fell on the faces of the patients again, and these unconscious patients suddenly opened their eyes one by one.

"Hmm...... What's going on? It's glaring......"

"Where's Mom...... Where is this? I—I'm so hungry......"

All the patients regained consciousness one after another, sat up in a daze, and looked at everything around them in confusion, not knowing what was happening. And such a miraculous picture also made the villagers on the side tremble with excitement and were speechless.

After a brief moment of shock, they ran over and hugged their families fiercely.

"Oh my God...... I thought you'd never wake up. ”

"I'm here, kid, you're fine, don't worry, you're cured, you'll be fine......"

If the open space outside the church was like a morgue just now, with only the muffled sobs echoing, now it is like a platform for the army to return home, with villagers holding their family's cheeks and tears sliding down the corners of their mouths.

Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but smile.

In fact, even putting aside his deal with the Fol family, he felt that this matter was very meaningful. Even though it's a small, remote village, even though it has a three-digit population......

He can be regarded as completely changing the lives of this group of people, right?

Now that the patient had been cured and his old notions of magic had changed, Benjamin turned around and with a wave of his hand, the blistered priest was suddenly slashed through his throat by an ice blade, and died silently.

The villagers' attention was still on the newly healed patients, and they did not notice all this at the door of the church.

So Benjamin turned and left, taking the priest's body with him, and disappeared into the sky.

It's time to move on to the next village.

He will dispose of the corpses on his behalf and leave a good impression on these villagers. And everything that has just happened, the villagers can also report it as an ordinary mage attack, and the church will not realize that the faith in this village has collapsed.

Moreover...... Even if you know, the church will not be good.

A war has quietly begun, and Benjamin will turn the old concept of mages in the Kingdom of Hori around little by little in just one month. And the only thing the church can do is to influence the people as much as possible and strengthen the faith. As long as Benjamin convinces enough people that there are good people among the mages, the church will not be able to exterminate them all as heretics.

Of course, it's going to be a long tug-of-war.

Benjamin's current target can only choose those remote villages, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to hit the plague outbreak at such a timely time, but ...... As long as he keeps doing good deeds, his influence will always spread little by little.

A month is certainly not enough, and they will come back when Ikor's mage problem is resolved.

And when the time comes, Benjamin will not be the only one who comes.
