Chapter 56: Temple of the Goddess of Light

"Fire Serpent, why are we hunting such a thing?" asked the Titan, looking puzzled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Isn't our mission to drive away the wolves?" Tibbit was skeptical of the improvised request, "the fiery serpent has nothing to do with the wolves. ā€

"It's not your business, in fact, the wolves have already been dispersed by our men on your way here. ā€

Strange to say, the Titans have done quite a few of these missions before, including hunting wild boars and crusading against black bears, but the employers of these missions are usually residents living in the vicinity, or simply the official release of the kingdom.

And such a dangerous mission, of course, the employer will not follow, if the official task of the kingdom is even more so, the royal family has so many things to deal with every day, so it will not send people to follow a group of mercenaries to the wilderness.

But this time it was an exception.

It was the young man in front of him, who looked to be about twenty-five or six years old, and who didn't talk much along the way, but when he reached the place where the wolf plague was in the river bay, he jumped out.

"What's going on?" Seeing the situation here, of course, a group of mercenaries also surrounded them, and one of them asked, "All the way here, let alone a wolf, we haven't even seen wolf fur." ā€

"That's right, the wolves have been driven away by my men. The young man said.

"Aren't you with us all the way?" asked one of the mercenaries.

"Leave that alone, there won't be a single wolf in the entire Riverbend right now. ā€

"Then what are you doing with the association's mission to ask us to come over?" the mercenary was not happy, and said anxiously, "Is this playing with us?"

"Didn't I tell you, the wolves, driven away by our people, and besides, this is the official mission of the kingdom, and I am just an entourage. The young man waved his hand and said, "I have to hunt a batch of fiery snakes now, and if you wish, I can pay you an extra commission, and the commission for the task of driving away the wolves will not be less than a copper plate for you." ā€

"Damn! what are you kidding!" said Titan, rolling up his sleeves and walking up to the young man, "What are you doing as a mercenary?

"This is treating us mercenaries like beggars. ā€

"Fuck you fire snake, I really won't do it. ā€

As soon as the Titans took the lead, the mercenaries immediately began to coax, and now it is clear that they received a fake mission to trick the mercenaries into coming to this river bay, but this fake mission is still officially released by the kingdom.

"Hey, hey!" the young man saw that his gaffe was about to become uncontrollable, and hurriedly said loudly, "Fellow mercenaries, everyone is eating outside, why be angry?

"As for the fire snake, I will produce a silver deer for a fire snake, and I will pay as much as I can catch, what do you think?"

When this sentence was thrown, the young man also realized that he had angered the mercenaries before, so he immediately changed his words, and the mercenaries also calmed down and discussed with each other.

A fire snake and a silver deer, this is really a big deal, after all, it doesn't take much effort to catch a fire snake, but you have to be careful not to rub your fangs against yourself.

In this kind of wild, ninety percent of those bitten by a fire snake can't escape death, but with the right snake catching tools, the risk can be greatly reduced, the price of a silver deer and a snake and the risk of being bitten by a snake, these two are compared together, and the mercenaries immediately made a decision.

What is it to catch a poisonous snake, among these mercenaries, there are tigers, black bears, and bandits, in terms of danger, can a fire snake be compared to several tigers?

————————

In this world, there are no hospitals, and when people are sick, they go to the church's infirmary and are treated by the church's priests.

But what about this church......

Of course, Su Fei from the modern earth has the length of a novel and wants to complain, although the church in this world is far from the extent of divine control of the imperial power, but is still suppressed by the royal family, as a belief or thought in people's hearts, the royal family spends very little on the church every year, it can be said that the church is almost equal to the mascot of a kingdom, and ...... The low-profile version of the hospital, and the "psychological clinic", as for this "psychological clinic", it is limited to people who are depressed in their hearts to go to the confessional of the church to confide, and the priests will not come to enlighten you.

And when it comes to the medical power of the church...... In fact, you can only take some simple herbs to treat bruises, and the treatment of fractures is already the limit of technology, after all, external injuries are always much easier to treat than internal injuries of the same severity.

If the church encounters a problem that they can't solve, it will diagnose it based on the severity of the problem.

If you catch a cold, the church will hand you a cup of hot boiled water called "holy water", drink the holy water, and the holy light will protect you, and the cold will be cured soon.

If it is too serious to be cured, then the church will hand you a cup of hot boiled water called "holy water", drink the holy water, and the holy light will fool you, and the sickness will soon be away from you (and you, then, will go to the supreme God of light).

However, even if the church has many problems, the biggest role it plays is to comfort these ignorant natives of another world, but in addition to a few large families with specialized doctors, the church is indeed the first choice for ordinary civilians to seek medical treatment.

The church is not far from the business district, and next to King's Landing Square, there is an imposing high-rise building, which is the temple set up in King's Landing.

After all, in such an era of backward material life, establishing an image of a "god" in the minds of the common people can, to a certain extent, reduce the possibility of unrest among the common people, and even on the earth, isn't it true of the Western world? Although in some parts of the earth, the divine power once overpowered the imperial power......

Sophie walked into the brick and stone building, and there was a huge statue of a woman in the temple, holding a book in her left hand, a staff in her right hand, and a crown on her head, looking at the direction of the temple door with a kind face, this is the goddess of light who protects the entire kingdom of West, at the foot of the statue of the goddess, a groove extends to the ground, and the gurgling water flows out of the groove, and finally flows into a small pool on the ground, needless to say, this is the so-called "holy water".

Bypassing the Statue of Light, on one side of the temple is the church infirmary where people usually go to see a doctor.

"The Goddess will protect you. As soon as Su Fei walked in the door, he heard a voice inside.

"The Goddess will protect you. Su Fei also replied in a low voice, as for the sentence "The goddess will protect you", it is the verbal greeting of the Goddess of Light Sect, which is probably equivalent to "Nan Wu Amitabha".

"Father, I would like to ask about something. Su Fei said respectfully, although the power of the church in the Kingdom of West is not strong, but after all, it is also the belief of the people, as the representative of the goddess of light in the mortal world, in addition to the royal family, people must add the word adult after the priest.

"This is a temple, not a tavern. The priest frowned slightly, and said.

"I'm sorry, Father Priest, but only you can answer what I want to ask. ā€

"Oh? The priest said, with a relaxed expression.

Hmph, it's still that old-fashioned setting, the people in the church are so face-loving, as soon as they raise him up, their hearts float.

However, this is also good, but it saves the trouble of talking to him, Su Fei asked directly: "Recently, many people in King's Landing City have had fever symptoms, I wonder if Father Priest understands?"
