Chapter 635: The Difficulty of Destigmatization

God finally made it to the edge of the Valley of God's Forsaken. They put ginkgo biloba on the towering mountain wall in front of them, and suddenly turned around, and returned to the original world.

The original world was still at night, and although it had been several hours in the Valley of God's Forsaken, it seemed that only ten minutes had passed here. The location that came out was no longer the ruins of the prison, but near a deserted mountain peak north of the royal capital.

As soon as the time and place were confirmed, Benjamin also breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, there wasn't a one-hour reality in the Valley of God's Forsaken for a month, otherwise their plans in Ikor would have been in vain.

It was not too early, and they camped at the foot of the mountain to rest, preparing to use the rest of the time to continue to cause disturbances in the kingdom of Hori. Miles agreed, except that the next morning, when Benjamin woke up again, he had said goodbye.

He didn't sleep at all, and left in the middle of the night. The system said.

Benjamin shook his head helplessly when he heard this.

Never mind...... Let Miles calm down for a while, he still has business to do.

In addition to completing the deal with the Fur family, Benjamin thought about it and felt that this might also be a good opportunity for mages. The people of the church are busy with infighting, and he can try to start spreading the idea of magical innocence in the kingdom of Horry.

After all, unlike other countries, most of the people here have been brainwashed by the church into believing that mages are the spokesmen of demons. And if Benjamin wants to eradicate the church so that the mage can walk in the sun with his head held high, he must also change the people's mindset.

It's certainly been a long process, and he's ...... now Maybe the conditions are not good, but he is free.

In this way, Benjamin unfolded the map of the kingdom of Hori, his eyes wandered around the remote towns, and mentally calculated the remaining time. Soon, he worked out a rough route.

Benjamin then set off without hesitation.

In the afternoon of the same day.

"God, Father, save our children! The plague is spreading more and more, and if it continues like this, I don't know how many more people will die in the village. ”

In a remote mountain village, countless people gathered outside the church, kneeling on the ground and pleading bitterly with a priest at the door of the church.

In the open space behind them, dozens of straw mats were spread. On each mat lay a dying patient, men, women, and children, and a murmur of pain came out of their mouths. And dozens of patients are densely arranged, and this scene can be called spectacular.

It's just that, looking at all this, the priest still folded his hands and looked without sadness or joy on his face.

"You don't have to worry, God has a plan for them. ”

This kind of line, which has been repeated many times, naturally cannot satisfy the villagers who kneel down the steps of the church. A middle-aged woman leaned up and tugged at the priest's trouser leg, tears pouring down like a July rainstorm.

"Father, aren't youβ€”aren'......t you magical? Isn't that the strength God has given you......? You can use your magic to save them, okay?"

The priest looked at the middle-aged woman with pity, then at the crowd of patients, and finally shook his head.

"I'll try to report all this to the royal capital, and they'll send a doctor. He said in a gentle voice, "But magic, that is a weapon used to ward off evil, and we must not abuse it. ”

When the people who knelt down heard this, their expressions did not change much relief.

"Doctor...... Will the doctors from the royal capital really come? We are a small village, and there is nothing...... In the past, when there was a famine, food for disaster relief never reached us......"

The priest's face turned cold, and he said solemnly: "What are you thinking? Everything is God's will." Even the slightest hint of impiousness in your hearts will bring even greater calamity to this village!"

When the villagers heard this, they were all shocked, lowered their heads, and no one dared to say anything for a while.

Because of this, the voice that came from above their heads was very clear in the silence.

"Let's just say that your divine skill level is too poor, can't you save these people, why bother talking so much nonsense, it's both divine will and disaster, aren't you tired?"

Everyone was stunned.

They looked up at the source of the sound.

I saw a man dressed in a black robe and dressed as a typical mage descend from the sky, smiling, and before everyone could react, he landed lightly behind the priest.

At that moment, almost all the villagers were dumbfounded.

"God...... God, it's a mage!"

The priest reacted the fastest, and without even looking at Benjamin, he crushed the cross in his pocket, turned and ran under the protection of the shield. However, as soon as he ran two steps, a huge bubble suddenly condensed in the air, and he was directly contained inside.

Suddenly, the poker-faced priest shook his head and frantically attacked the blister, but he couldn't get out of it anyway. His angry roar echoed throughout the village.

"See, it's not that he doesn't want to save it, it's that he doesn't have that ability at all. Benjamin turned his head to the villagers kneeling outside the church.

The villagers were stunned.

"You...... You ......"

I don't know if it was because a mage suddenly appeared in front of them, or because the priest who had always been high up in the sky had changed so much that they couldn't even speak, but just stared at Benjamin standing at the door of the church and the priest trapped in the blisters, and some of them even began to tremble.

From the look in their eyes, Benjamin could read the shock, but more often than not, fear.

- These villagers are terrified of magic.

There is no way, the church's years of propaganda have not caused such an impact now, and if it weren't for Benjamin's appearance, he even suspected that these villagers would throw rotten eggs at him.

"Run, tell the priest in the next village! This is the evil mage who has been doing evil lately, run!"

The priest is probably the quickest to calm down. Seeing that he couldn't get out of the blister, he immediately opened his mouth and yelled at the villagers, trying to thwart Benjamin's actions.

However, in reality, the villagers did not hear him shouting.

As soon as the first word blurted out, Benjamin used the blister to completely block out the sound coming from inside. As a result, the villagers could only see the priest with his mouth wide open and hideous face, but could not hear a single sound.

For most of them, this is definitely a huge collapse of the image of the church.

Benjamin, though, wasn't just trying to make a fool of the priest.

"These people are very sick, let alone this priest, even if the king sends you a bishop, he may not be saved. He looked at the piles of sick people outside and said slowly, "However, I had to use magic, but I was able to heal them all easily. ”

The villagers listened to his words, and they didn't know why, and their bodies trembled.

But no one spoke.

Seeing this, Benjamin frowned.

"What? You don't want to save them? Is your grief just a drama, and you don't care about these relatives who are infected with the plague?"

Finally, the middle-aged woman who was crying so much couldn't bear it anymore and cried bitterly: "No......! I want to save my baby!"

When Benjamin heard this, his face just showed some joy, but the other villagers below showed eager expressions.

"No...... Don't believe him, it's a devil trading with you!Have you forgotten the teachings of the priest? The devil is always kind at first, and doesn't say anything bad, but when you nod your head and agree, your soul will not belong to you!" An old man pulled the middle-aged woman and persuaded in a panic.
