Volume I: The End of the Outlaw 75
Fao has been holding prayer events in the city's main squares, and I have begun to go from passing by casually to going every day, and I seem to have become dependent on that light.
I longed to be close to the light, I longed for the warmth, and the sudden peace and joy that appeared in my heart when I was enveloped by the light.
"Bill, stay at noon today, I've prepared a sacrament for you." On this day, while praying in the square in front of Lordaeron Cathedral, Uther came up to me and whispered to me.
"I'm not going." I immediately refused.
"There is no one else, only me and you."
"That's not going to go." I pouted and refused.
"You have been following our prayer procession for a week, and in the past two days I have found that you are more punctual and persistent than our priests. Thank you for your support. ”
"I didn't do anything."
"No, brother, of course you did. Thank you so much. ”
"Huh? Really? I snorted.
"Yes, you have once again validated the Light's call to me, and once again strengthened my faith in the Light."
I couldn't help but squint at him, what else could I say?
"It's good if you're happy." I say.
"Bill." A gentle call came from behind me. I shuddered. When I turned around, she was standing behind me, looking at me with excitement on her face.
"How are you?" I was a little overwhelmed when I saw him.
"Thank you, Bill. I've been looking for you and I'd love to find you and say thank you in person. Felicia seemed a little incoherent with excitement, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
Seeing the girl cry made me feel a little more helpless.
"Fili, I've prepared sacrament for you both." Uther suddenly interjected.
I was about to open my mouth when Felicia grabbed my hand. "Bill, I volunteer at the church. I can share my sacrament with you. ”
This...... What is so high-end about this communion that Felicia treats it with such respect.
"I'm ready for Brother Bill. Philippa. You've just recovered and you need to take good care of yourself. Uther said with a smile.
"I ......," I was about to open my mouth to refuse.
"For Fili's sake, don't refuse." Uther took the opportunity to gag me. Felicia was holding my hand tightly.
There were tears in her eyes, and I believe they were tears of excitement, eyes of gratitude. This thought really made me a little floating, and I saved her!
It was the first time I had sat down with this group of church people to eat, and although there was no corporate prayer, the fact that they sang carols before the meal felt so familiar to me. I looked around at the bald monks, who seemed to be unfamiliar with my presence. Didn't you think of me as a volunteer?
Look at the sacrament on the plate, the black bread with bran, a piece of chicken breast, some vegetable salad and two small potatoes, and a tomato bisque. I looked at Uther, who was munching on bread, and then at Felicia, who was looking at me.
"What's wrong?" Fili smiled at me.
"That's what it is...... Communion? ”
"We don't eat and drink for the sake of our appetite, it's all given by the Light, and we eat whatever we have." Uther said as he ate, feeling that the food was so delicious in his mouth.
I picked up the potatoes and ate them. Looking at Felicia, I asked, "What about that sister of yours?" ”
"She's healed. Now she is working as an apprentice in a tailor's shop. ”
"She's got a job?" I can't believe that there are tailors in this environment who take in apprentices.
"She used to work as a seamstress." She said.
I didn't go any further and asked why, but I don't think this girl would be very different from what happened to her.
"Fili said it was because I drank one of your potions that I got better." Uther looked at me curiously.
"It's all up to her. I don't know if the potion works. ”
"But they both lived."
"It's just an ordinary recipe, and I asked for advice from a doctor in the city."
"Doctor? Is there a doctor who can cure this plague? Uther suddenly became agitated.
"I don't know." I say.
"Don't you have a potion?"
"I don't recommend you use it, it's just a blind cat running into a dead mouse. Belch...... I mean, it's a coincidence. I looked at Fili.
"That's hope, isn't it?" Uther said. "What if more people can be saved?"
I handed over the potion recipe that I didn't want to use on the right path. Felicia stood by the burning stove, her face full of anticipation. The firelight lit up her face that seemed to be smiling, and her current state seemed to be completely different from before, and I could feel her eyes and the aura that emanated from her, she was indeed a kind girl.
"Fili's recovery is totally ...... Well, for herself. I looked at Fili and said. Very few people in the closed isolation huts showed signs of vomiting.
Fili still had anticipation on her face.
"Is the dose insufficient?" Uther said and looked at me.
I glanced at him and said, "Maybe, after all, the one I made is more troublesome than yours." ”
If Ralph was quick, Uther was more than that. After I told him about the steps of the pharmacy after concealing the location of the medicine, he rushed to the Royal Academy of Alchemy with me in the shortest possible time.
It's really a special feeling to walk in here openly.
The students in the academy were assigned to start rushing the potions. It was a bit of a surprise to me, but it made sense. The old pedants in the academy began to scoff at the recipe I offered and engaged in all sorts of heated discussions. Some professors constantly advocate the addition of other medicinal ingredients and put forward various conjectures.
Although the professors were pointing fingers, Uther represented the Church, and they did not interfere too much. And Uther didn't change his mind because of the authoritative chatter. I looked at his resolute face at this time, and I couldn't help but want to laugh a little.
Soon the first batch of rushed potions was distributed.
"Thank you for your contribution, Bill." Fao walked up to me and said to me.
"Not enough to worry about, let alone ...... It is not yet known how effective this drug will be. "I've always been a pessimistic person, no matter what it is, although I want to succeed, I can't believe that there are many chances of success.
"No, no matter how effective it may be, at least your actions have proved that you are also filled with light."
Ha! Is this full of light? I didn't realize it. I didn't take a stubble, just smiled.
I didn't really feel awkward about Uther asking me to sleep in his room, and I was sure he didn't keep me because he liked me. Because that night he gave me a passionate education in the Holy Light.
I leaned back on the bench, and he sat upright on the edge of his neat bed. I squinted at him and talked endlessly, but he looked at me with disdain but was still interested.
"Uther, you've been tossing around all day, let's take a break, I'm tired of listening." I yawned.
Still in good spirits, he said with a smile on his face, "I feel the change in you. ”
I closed my eyes and said, "Come on, I just don't want to hit you." ”
"The Light never cheats!" Hearing this, I could imagine what kind of expression he had to use with my eyes closed.
"Even if the Light never deceives you, you have to sleep, at least put me to sleep. Who knows when the monks on duty will knock on the door, I don't want to stay up late. Before I could finish speaking, there was a knock at the door.
I was stunned, and Uther stood up.
"Brother Uther! There was some severe vomiting in the quarantine center! The man outside the door shouted.
"Say what! Say what! It's all your fault! Go ahead, I'm not going! I simply put my feet on the chair, hugged my arms and closed my eyes.
The door closed softly. Listening to their footsteps as they walked away, I opened my eyes. "Change? Hmph, I've never changed. ”
When I walked to the quarantine center, Uther was chattering around with a dozen monks. It's not that I'm not at ease, but I suddenly lost my sleepiness tonight.
"After feeding the medicine, let's leave, aren't you cold here?" I said as I stood outside them.
"You're really here!" The young Uther was still full of energy.
"If it weren't for you babbling there, I would have fallen asleep a long time ago." I didn't have the heart to say it.
Pulling apart the surrounding people, there was a corpse lying on the ground with an arrow stuck in its neck.
This scene is so familiar!
Pushing away the people on the side, I hurriedly squatted down. "Give me fire!" I shouted.
The fire on the torch swayed in the cold wind, but the not bright fire could clearly reflect the man's face, and his tongueless mouth!
I slammed to my feet! "Where did you find this?" I'll grab Uther!
Uther was suddenly a little stunned by me. "Tell me!" I yelled.
"Right here!" He said.
"When did you find out?"
"Ten minutes ago." He replied.
"Get out of the way!" I screamed and opened my arms violently.
The monks quickly flashed to the side.
"Have you touched him?" I looked around at the monks who stood by.
"No, the man ran out of the house, we tried to stop him, and then he was killed by an arrow." A monk with his hands clasped together said as he sniffled.
I crouched down again and ripped off the man's clothes. The man was covered in ecchymosis. I touched him for a long time and found nothing, except that I found that his ankle was broken!
Opened the corpse's mouth, and his front teeth were gone. I remember the day I attacked Ralph, and there was a guy I trampled on and broke his ankle. Now he's dead, dead here, but not at my hands.
I looked into the room not far away, looking for the direction in which the arrow might fly. "Which house did this guy run from from?"
One of the monks pointed to a room with an open door not far away.
I rushed towards the house opposite, and just ten minutes earlier, the man who had attacked me on the day of the attack on Ralph had died, and was killed here by their men. They didn't leave! They're still here!
In three or two clicks, I climbed onto the roof.
And there is a clear trail of footprints on the snowy roof!
