Chapter 40: The God Who Walks in the Distance
Kuaishou lay there and fell asleep, and it was inconvenient to disturb him like this.
Luckily, his mother, an old lady with black feet, was on the side.
She was dressed in an old cowhide dress, her face was full of wrinkles, and she was now carefully taking care of her bedridden son, and her face was full of sorrow.
"Hello, old man, I heard that your son is in some trouble, let me see if I can help."
Andy walked in to say hello, and the old lady looked at him and smiled.
"It's you, a lot of people are talking about how much help you have brought to Blackfoot.... Thank you for your willingness to help us, but my son's injury is not simple, and it will take enough medical skills to heal him. ”
Andy checked Kuaishou's leg and found that this person should have suffered severe fractures and contusions due to improper landing posture when he fell from the air, judging from his unconscious and high fever, he was still inflamed due to wound infection during this period of time, which is actually very dangerous.
"It's not going to be good..... Even if your child can make it through, his leg may fall, I heard that the pharmacist Merlin is reluctant to treat your child, why is that? ”
The old lady sat down tiredly, as if she had despaired.
"I went to look for Merlin, but she didn't even want to see me, and when I asked her why, she just said that she wouldn't help Kuaishou because she was disrespectful to Lady Heckat.... I begged her to forgive my son, but Merlin didn't change his mind at all, just let my son get worse and worse every day. ”
As she spoke, she shed two tears.
Andy looked at the poor old man in silence, with mixed feelings.
"I've heard people talk about this Hekat before, who is she? Merlin is obviously a pharmacist in Blackfoot Village, why don't you all have anything to do with her? ”
In the old lady's choked explanation, Andy gets some new information.
Lady Hekat, a real being, claims to be a god who walks on the earth. This lady would adopt many baby girls, who would grow up to be taught mystical skills and become messengers of Hecate, who were known as Hecate's daughters.
Lady Hecate's village is called Ouroboros, and the village is a strong force, with a large group of warriors who obey her orders, and she will constantly send Hecate's daughters as her messengers to the tribes, and then ask them to become the shamans and apothecaries of the tribes themselves, and ask the tribes to worship Lady Hecate.
In this process, the natives of the tribe, although not very well educated and psychologically educated, also understand that outsiders are trying to control them, and this behavior should be resisted.
However, the tribes who violently resisted Hekathe's daughters were soon met with all sorts of unbelievable reprisals.
According to rumors, the village's land will suffer from severe harvest failures and food will not be produced. Livestock die en masse, and it's not even clear why this is happening.
Not only that, but even the fertility of the village will be greatly affected, either infertility or bizarre death.
Some strange poisonous snakes began to appear in the fields and countryside, extremely venomous, and would die if bitten.
There are always people who get sick for some reason.
There are many, many such strange events that have great influence but are nowhere to be found, in short, the native tribes who have no knowledge of the world finally succumb to Hekate's obscenity one by one, and give the daughters of Hekate who came to their tribe extraordinary treatment and status, even if they are not convinced, they need to be respectful to Lady Hekate on the surface, because if there is disrespectful action, the whole village will suffer unforeseen disasters.
The previous Blackfoot chieftain, Ramon, had refused to allow Hekat's daughter to enter Blackfoot Village, relying on the fact that Blackfoot was one of the most powerful tribes, and that year Blackfoot fell into a terrible famine.
The suspicious and suspicious Blackfoot villagers, who had long been intimidated by rumors from the outside world, suddenly boiled, and Ramon had no choice but to welcome Hecate's daughter into Blackfoot Village with the highest courtesy to stay in Blackfoot Village for a long time, and even redecorated the hostel used by Blackfoot Village to receive foreign guests and handed it over to the other party as her exclusive palace.
This man was Merlin, who had taken over the position of apothecary and shaman upon her arrival, and the last Blackfoot villager to hold that position had died mysteriously shortly after, according to Merlin, because Lady Hekate had punished him for his reluctance to leave Blackfoot Village.
As a result, Lady Hekate gradually became the true deity of the people of Blackfoot, and she proved her strength countless times, as Merlin proclaimed, Lady Hekate was the god of night, the god of serpents, the god of medicine, the god of fertility, and the god of harvest..... And these priesthoods are all poked at the places that the natives value the most.
There were tribes that had to die no matter what, but they were eventually exterminated by Lady Hecate's warriors, the tribes were burned, the guilty were put to death, and babies, children, and women were taken back to Ouroboros Village to be taught by Lady Hecate to atone for their offenses.
Therefore, the superposition of mental fear and objective threat has made Merlin, a lonely man, a nail deeply rooted in Blackfoot Village, not that no one doubts and reverses Hecate's power, but they never dare to show it, who knows if they will suddenly make Ms. Hecate angry?
Andy recalls Craig's strange reaction and wonders why he was so awkward.
Looking at Kuaishou's serious injury, Andy estimated that most of his three-legged cat's medical skills could not be cured, and it was very unrealistic to take him to Crosstown for treatment, so the only breakthrough point in this matter was Merlin after thinking about it.
What to do?
Andy thought about it for a few moments and came up with some simple solutions.
He looked at the Pip-Boy and whispered to it.
"Why is this guy of yours always ineffective, isn't this matter worth marking a task now?"
The Pip-Boy shook.
[I think it's worth prompting, I'll prompt, I now think that as long as you're not a fool, you will definitely be able to come up with a solution, don't be so lazy, try to reason for yourself]
"Hey?"
Andy glared at the beep-beep boy and flicked it a few times with one finger, but it hurt to beat himself.
Turning back, Andy looked at the old lady, who could only hope that the insider could give him some clues.
"Do you know what happened between Kuaishou and Merlin? Is he really disrespectful to Hecate? When is it? What exactly did you say? ”
The old lady replied blankly and numbly, "I don't know." ”
Andy was stunned for a moment, and then had to settle for the next best.
"Why don't you do it? .... Tell me what kind of person Kuaishou is? What does he usually do? ”
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
