Chapter 6: Father Kempes

The bumpy carriage actually made Pandice sleep very uncomfortable, but because he was too tired, his consciousness quickly blurred, and he actually had several nightmares, one moment he dreamed that he fell into the volcanic magma, and the other he dreamed that Chris was gone, and then he dreamed that the elves of the clan were going to kill Cris, and he took Chris to run away desperately, and in a panic, he didn't know that there was a cliff in front of him, and pulled Chris down with him.

With a shock, Pandis opened his eyes.

In front of her, the stubby man's panicked face was less than two feet away from her, and when he saw her open his eyes, he let out a short, frightened gasp, and hurriedly retreated.

Pandis found himself leaning on the carriage, and Chris was still in his arms, and breathed a sigh of relief, and said sharply, "What are you doing?"

The man's hand retracted, his face constantly changing, and he was speechless.

Pandis saw that he was holding a rope in his hand, and immediately understood, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and with a scolding in his mouth, an ice pick suddenly appeared, and pierced his shoulder with a "poof", and blood splattered immediately.

When the man saw the magic, his face changed greatly, and he wanted to beg for mercy, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was injured by an ice pick, and he only howled miserably, and then he fell down, and at this time he knew that he had caused a big disaster, and he trembled in severe pain from the wound, and knelt on the ground and cried: "Spare your life, spare your life!"

Pandis had a cold face, his eyes sharp, and he didn't say a word.

The carriage stopped, and the woman who drove the carriage stretched her head in a panic, and when she saw the blood on the man's body, her face changed greatly, and she slapped the man in the face: "You bastard, why did you make the adults angry when you let you rest, don't you apologize quickly!" and then knelt in front of Pandis with a "grunt", and begged for mercy again and again: "Little girl, ah no, my lord, please look at my face, and bypass this bastard's life!"

After that, he kowtowed again and again.

The man's wound didn't bleed much, because the wound had been slowly frozen by the cold, and the whole shoulder began to gradually form frost flowers, and slowly spread to his face and chest, his face slowly turned blue, and the cry for mercy gradually became weak, seeing that the man was about to fall to the ground, the woman quickly supported him, and kowtowed to beg for mercy together.

The couple had bad intentions, and Pandis knew it, but now he couldn't kill them.

She raised her hand and cast a healing spell to heal the man's wound, and the two were overjoyed, knowing that they had picked up a life, and thanked them again and again.

"Is there a Church of Light in the nearest town?"

The woman hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, you can arrive in the evening." ”

Pandis: "Then go there, hurry." ”

"Yes, yes!"

Pandis caught a glimpse of the man's tearful and snotty face, and couldn't help but feel a burst of disgust: "You go out to catch the car." ”

"Yes, yes!" the man staggered out.

The carriage began to move again.

Hyde Town.

A small town on the edge of the Booth Empire, where neither the mountains nor the sea, and the townspeople had to rely on their own hands to grow crops in the barren land, it was one of the poorest towns in the northwestern part of the empire.

The Church of Light here is also the poorest.

There is only one clergyman in the church: Father Kempes.

Of course, in the beginning, he must have been the only one, but the clergy could not bear this poverty, and they were transferred out of this place one after another, and then no one wanted to come to this place where the birds did not want to stay as a nest.

When Father Kempes came, the clergy in the church never changed.

At that time, the same qualified clergy of the local church rose to become a deacon in other cathedrals, but he has been quietly tending to a group of God's people in this forgotten corner.

When he first arrived, he gathered a small number of residents each week to pray in a dilapidated church, but he soon discovered that most of the town's inhabitants were illiterate, and some of the children were teenagers who could not write their names.

"Knowledge is just as important as faith, faith is spiritual comfort, and knowledge is a life-changing tool. The old priest thought.

So he left the town, and when it was assumed that the new priest must have fled, he took his bantam mule back to the town.

The mule pockets were filled with pens, ink, small books, and some books, and the priest said to the curious villagers: "Let the children come to church every afternoon, and I will teach them." It was of course completely free, and he also refused to take money, even to every dinner invited by those who were grateful.

"The more I eat, the less nutritious the child gets. ”

In the past twenty years, many children have grown up and gone out of the town with the encouragement of Kempes, some of them have made a fortune, and brought their families into the city, but they have not expressed any gratitude to the old priest, and he does not care.

The people here are poor, but their spirits are rich.

The old priest was the richest man in the village, he had an old mule and two sheep, and every quarter the Holy See distributed a sum of money to all the churches, but he often had an empty bag, because he also adopted three homeless orphans.

There are so many places to spend money.

Buy stationery for all the schooling kids in town.

Subsidies for the lonely and widowed elderly who have no ability to live.

He also had to save money to repair the church, which was older than his own, so that it wouldn't suddenly collapse one day.

.................

In the evening, a horse-drawn carriage drove into the town.

The people in the countryside were late for dinner, and the sky was getting dark, and the residents who were working in the fields put away their farm tools and walked home with tired steps, dust and sweat.

The people saw the carriage.

The carriage was a very common double set of horses, and the carriage was very simple, with no ornate patterns or carvings on the outside, just the common cork and some simple decoration with black paint, but it was rare to see in this poor place.

The adults stopped to watch, guessing what kind of big man was in the car, while the children followed curiously.

The carriage passed through the town and gradually drove towards the road high up outside the town - the road to the church.

Then, in front of the church gate, the carriage stopped.

Getting out of the car was a woman, and the onlookers thought she must be an angel because she was so beautiful, so beautiful that people could imagine her.

The angel also brought a sick person, and after entering the church with the angel, the carriage left the town. (To be continued.) )
