Chapter 53: The Food of Sin

Since most treatments take a certain amount of time to take effect, the results of the first round of the competition are not available immediately.

But judging from the scene alone, there is no doubt that the priestess has an overwhelming advantage.

In addition to her gentle image, her treatment method is also more in line with the current perception of medicine on the continent of Bratis.

A variety of herbs are paired with some mysterious items of unknown meaning, and it is best to recite words and cast some powerful spells when grinding, which makes people feel even more reassuring.

In contrast, Li Yu's treatment was weird and rudimentary, and the process was a bit disgusting.

He actually took the shepherd's dung and put it on a strangely shaped evil vessel with a cold sheen!

Then he put one of his eyes up as well.

For a moment, the onlookers couldn't help but sweat for the somewhat stupid shepherd, because seeing Li Yu like this, it seemed that he was going to treat him, and he obviously planned to add some other curse to him.

And after doing that somewhat evil ritual, Li Yu's follow-up treatment looked very perfunctory.

Only let the shepherd take two small discs like little thumb covers, in short, it is indeed behind Adele in terms of perception, but it looks more like the ignorant and backward side.

For a time, there were more people who were optimistic about the priestess.

Soon, the second round began.

This time, Adele had to face the little boy Li Yu had chosen first, and the latter came to the priestess accompanied by her mother.

Compared with the apprehension of the young man, the look on the peasant woman's face was obviously much more excited.

Witnessing Adele's rescue of the gout-stricken butcher in particular, the peasant woman was convinced that the priestess would be able to heal her child.

However, when Adele asked about the boy's condition, the look on her face became very serious.

After that, she repeatedly asked the peasant woman if she had done anything blasphemous when she was pregnant.

At first, the peasant woman insisted that there was absolutely none, but later the mother's love overpowered the fear of punishment.

She confessed that when she was six months pregnant, she was washing clothes by the river and had met a group of infidels passing by.

The group of infidels asked her in detail about the location of the temple and the number of men armed inside.

Although she was suspicious of the purpose of the group, because they were armed with them, she finally confessed everything she knew, and the group was very satisfied with her cooperation, and gave her one of the rabbits they had hit on the road.

She originally wanted to throw the rabbit away, but in the end she couldn't hold back, and stewed the rabbit meat that night and shared it with her husband.

About seven days later, she heard the news of a fire at a nearby temple, and although there were no casualties, the temple was destroyed in the fire.

When the peasant woman had finished telling her story, she fell to her knees and begged the priestess with tears to punish her, but not to be angry with her children.

The priestess's frowning brow softened slightly, and then she reached out to help the peasant woman kneeling on the ground, and said softly.

"You are mistaken, I am not asking this to blame anyone, but to find out what disease your child has, it turns out that he is the way he is because you have eaten the sin food that the infidels used to exchange for your sins."

When the peasant woman heard this, she immediately regretted it, "I would have thrown away that rabbit if I had known, no, no, I should not have told those people where the temple was." ”

Adele comforted her, "It's no secret that those heretics are here to destroy the temple, and if you don't tell them, they'll ask others." ”

The peasant woman heard a glimmer of hope in her words, and said, "Then Priest Adele, will you take action to banish the filth from my son's body?" ”

The priestess nodded, "Of course, but the filth of the sin food is not so easy to expel because it contains your sins.

"Well, I'll expel him once, and then you take your son to the temple every year and ask the priest there to expel the filth for him again, and after about seven times, you'll be completely healed."

The peasant woman was overjoyed at first, but soon her expression darkened again.

Adele caught the change in the look in her eyes and added with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll go and talk to the priest myself later, and you won't need to offer any more sacrifices for the follow-up treatment." ”

The peasant woman was overjoyed, and fell to her knees again, praising the goddess with her mouth in her mouth.

Other onlookers in the vicinity praised the priestess for her kindness and kindness.

Looking at the cheering crowd together, Yin Leiya had a faint hunch that if her friend could really win this competition, she would probably soon spread throughout the Western Realm and immediately become the guest of honor of all noble families.

The priest of Tessa in Black Rock City has practiced healing all his life and saved an unknown number of people before he has accumulated his current prestige, but it is not as good as the harvest of the younger generation in a day.

Miss Rabbit was happy for her close friend, but she didn't know if it was her own delusion, she felt that Adele seemed to be calmer than ever before, and had behaved impeccable so far, but the smile on her face was not as natural as it usually looked. With a hint of reluctance.

But if you weren't very close to Adele, you shouldn't feel the reluctance in her smile.

After all, her smile was so gentle and contagious.

Yin Leiya thought about it, but she just felt that her friend might be a little nervous, who made her opponent Li Yu.

Miss Rabbit and Li Yu have known each other for so long, and they have never seen this guy lose to anyone, even if everyone is optimistic about the priestess now, Yin Leiya still thinks that the final winner will be Li Yu.

She never wavered from beginning to end, she just hoped that Adele could play well, as long as the gap in the end was not large, even if she lost, Adele could win herself a lot of fame.

This ending should be the win-win situation that Li Yu often talks about.

Yin Leia was thinking about it, and the priestess began to prepare for her ceremony.

She took the blood of the owl and the scales of the snake, threw them into the copper basin in front of her, and then put in some spices and the teeth of some unknown animal, and recited a spell to light a fire under the basin.

The contents of the copper basin were repeatedly burned until the smoke rose, and she quickly threw a small black mass into it.

He looked up and said to the peasant woman, "Bring your child and let him stand in front of this basin, I will begin to expel the filth from his body, and remember not to let him leave this basin until the ceremony is over." ”
