On the third day after the druids went out, a teenager came up to the mountain dressed in shabby linen clothes.

"Are you the slave girl that Master Donghezi recently bought?" the child asked, raising his tanned face.

"Well, yes. "Le Lin was quite disgusted by the word 'slave girl', but the other party was a child after all, so she had to respond.

The child looked surprised and said, "Oh, everyone in the town says you are ugly, but I think you have lost a little weight, and you are not ugly at all." ”

Lelin was speechless for a while, she was indeed ugly a few weeks ago, and she was miserable ugly. She didn't want to talk about the painful experience before, so she asked, "Is there anything you have done here?"

"I've heard that a few days ago, Master Donghezi was going to lead the soldiers in the town to encircle and suppress the remnants of the gnolls. The child said very seriously: "My father was a soldier, and he also participated." I want to ask the master if he can take me, I want to go and see. ”

Le Lin smiled: "Fighting is a very dangerous thing, and children can easily get injured when they go to that kind of place." By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Bob Faith," replied the child, "it doesn't matter if you are injured, the master's medical skills are very powerful, as long as he does not die, he can be saved!

"Priest?" Lelin hated the word 'priest', except for Elistra's priest, of course, "Are there any priests of gods in your town?"

The child pouted: "Not a single one." I remember when I was a kid there was a pastor, but he had poor medical skills and a lot of money. Uncle Pinosa used up all the money in the family and didn't cure a disease on his body, so he always treated it for a while, and after a while, the disease recurred. Later, the master came, and it only took half a month to cure all the diseases on his body, and he has never committed it again. ”

"What happened to the priest?" said Lelin, who was still more concerned about the 'priest'. In fact, she didn't want to run into any other priest besides Elistra's priest.

Bob Feth shrugged and said, "He thought we were too poor here, so he ran away." He also said that we are not pious enough, who is pious with him in terms of his ability. ”

Le Lin felt very uncomfortable when she heard this: "How can you say that about a god's priest? Maybe his divine skills are too poor, but after all, he is the spokesman of the gods in the world, if you despise him and despise the gods, it will be bad! Then no gods will protect you." In the future, souls will not be able to go to the kingdom of God, and I heard that they will be crucified to the wall of the unbelievers and be burned at the stake for eternity!"

"I don't disrespect the gods," Bob Fez's anxious argument, "I believe in Elichia, the god of the water element of Donghezi!" and then said with some frustration, "But Master Donghezi didn't bless me with faith." ”

When a person formally believes in a certain deity, and his faith is recognized by the priest, the person will be carried out a "faith blessing" ceremony, the specific ritual content is different, sometimes there will be great differences within the same church, but in general, it is on behalf of the gods to apply some blessing spells to believers, if the believer is religious enough, then the effect and duration of the spell will be longer, and a very small number of believers can even maintain a lifelong blessing effect.

"Is Master Donghezi here? I want to learn some more lingua franca and herbal knowledge. Bob Fez, the child, asked again.

"He went out to collect medicine. Le Lin said politely: "It may take a few days to come back." Come in, sit down, and drink some water. ”

The child stuck out his tongue helplessly: "No, I still have to rush back to herd the sheep." If I'm going back late, I'll be beaten up by my dad again. ”

"Wait a minute. Le Lin suddenly became a mother, turned around and ran back to the stone castle, took out 2 pounds of dried meat from the kitchen and handed it to the child: "Take it, this kind of dried meat was spiced when making zuò, it is delicious." ”

"Thank you" The child was not polite, took the dried meat and raised one palm, and then bowed and saluted.

This kind of etiquette Le Lin has never seen before, and ordinary country people do not understand how to behave, only the rich, nobles, mages, priests, bureaucrats, etc. will care about etiquette. He asked curiously, "Who taught you this etiquette?"

"It was taught by Master Donghezi. The child said.

When the druid, named Dong Hezi, returned with a large box of herbs on his back, it was already the afternoon of the fifth day. He sat at the table in the large hall on the first floor, and by the dim light that came in from outside the door, he selected some herbs and told Lelin to plant them in the field outside.

Outside, the sky was still overcast, and there was no shadow of the sun in sight. It's late autumn now, and the cold air in the mountain breeze is getting stronger and stronger. Wearing rough animal skin clothes, Le Lin casually planted these new herbs, her body has obviously become stronger again in the past few days, and she has seen some muscles on her body when she bathed last night. She picked up each one and felt it carefully. These herbs all have a spell "breath" on them, and the herbs themselves show no signs of wilting, and it seems that the druids have applied a special preservation spell on them. Thinking of this, Le Lin was even more preoccupied, and there was a strange phenomenon that she wanted to ask clearly.

"He seems to be a better talker. Le Lin thought to herself: "I told him about giving 2 pounds of dried meat to that kid today, and he wasn't annoyed by my assertions." He doesn't seem to be a stern master, and I'll ask him about the strange phenomena later. ”

When she returned to the Fort Building after planting the herbs, the druid was identifying the herbs and jotting down something on a few pieces of parchment on the table.

"It's all planted. Lelin said.

"Well, let's go make dinner. He replied nonchalantly.

"There's a problem. Lelin asked boldly, for a servant, especially a slave, should not disturb his master's work.

"Just ask. He looked at the herbs and wrote them on the paper again.

"You give me the rune under the pillow, its magic effect seems to be getting stronger and stronger! Every night, as soon as I lie down, I can feel a special force running from my head to my feet, like the feeling of soaking in hot water. And it's getting stronger and stronger in the past two days, and sometimes I just sit on the edge of the bed and have that feeling!" said Le Lin very seriously. According to the convention, the power of the runes will slowly deplete after use, even if the spell is constant, it can only maintain the original effect, and it is impossible to have this phenomenon of not being weak but strong! Le Lin is a martial artist who does not understand spells, so she is more sensitive to these abnormal scenes, and she doesn't want to put something dangerous under her head.

The druid looked up and said with a puzzled look on his face, "Yes, that's how it is." Your body slowly adjusts to its effects and is better able to receive its treatment, so you feel that its effects are enhanced. It's just an illusion. ”

Le Lin is still not at ease: "But its effect shows no signs of diminishing." It's been five days and I can feel it treating me every day. But how could it last so long? Could it be that you secret druids could also do the art of constancy? ”

The druid smiled and shook his head and said, "No, I don't have any magical constancy. It's just that my runes are very different from those of mages and dwarves. This kind of rune of mine is quite time-consuming and laborious to make, but once it is made, its effect is continuous, lasting for a few years or decades, and if the maker specializes in it, it is possible to make a permanent rune. I didn't study these runes when I learned them before, and the one I give you now was only made in a hurry, and the effect can only last for half a year at most. Compared to my predecessors who are good at this technique, my skills are still far behind. He shook his head, as if sorry for not learning the spell well.

Dinner was not going well, and in the days when the druids were away, Le Lin cut some meat casually, made some bread and soup, and ate it as before. But now it's going to be for this druid, and that's going to be a problem. The druid's food tasted excellent, and his mouth was also very tricky. For example, meat must be cut into small slices, and spices must be put in every dish, but there are more than a dozen kinds of spices in the kitchen. Moreover, the proportion of each dish is different, and the cooking time is also limited. He even eats with two small wooden sticks between the dishes, but the worst thing is that in the past, the druids used to cook by themselves, and Lelin only learned a little bit about it. Today, I suddenly asked Le Lin to do it, and she was in a hurry all of a sudden.

By the time the grizzled Le Lin brought dinner, it had been dark for a long time. There were no candles in the dark hall, and the druids sat at the wooden table like a piece of wood with their eyes closed, like a lifelike statue.

I really don't know what these spellcasters are doing weirdly, Le Lin muttered to herself. After lighting the candles and serving dinner, she shouted to the druid, who was in a daze with his eyes closed, "Dinner is ready!"

"Hmm" The druid took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes. Dinner can begin.

As expected, after drinking two mouthfuls of broth and eating a few pieces of chicken, he knocked on the table with a pair of small wooden sticks called "chopsticks" in his hand very dissatisfied, and said to Le Lin with a frown: "The spices are not put in place, and they taste weird." ”

Lelin quickly retorted, "Because you didn't teach me much cooking." I've never seen such a complicated cooking method when I'm underground. ”

The druid said "um" again, still in that tone that was never slow: "When the curse on you is removed, I will slowly teach you all the cooking skills, this craft really has to be learned slowly, and you can't rush it." ”

Hearing the words "get rid of the curse", Le Lin asked excitedly, "When will it be removed?"

The druid stared at her meaningfully and said, "Then it depends on whether you are willing to take the risk." In the case of general treatment, it can be as short as one year or as long as two or three years. But if you're willing to take the chance, I have a few new herbs here that I might use to make potions that banish the curse from you, but I don't know exactly what they do, so I'll have to test them on you one by one. If successful, the curse will be removed from you in a few days. But I'll say the ugly things in front of me, it's dangerous, and if you don't do it, you'll take your life. Because I really wasn't sure what would happen to these herbs after they were mixed and refined. After speaking, he stared at Le Lin and waited patiently for her answer.

There was a long silence.

"I'm willing to give it a try!" said Lelin firmly.

Three days later.

On each of the four walls of Lelin's room hung a piece of parchment as long and wide as an encyclopedia, each with a large rune written on it. The four runes emitted a strong spell aura at the same time, making Le Lin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, feel an aura similar to early spring filling the entire room.

The druid was still wearing his dark blue "Tai Chi" robe, took out a large black pill the size of half an egg in his hand, and handed it to Le Lin while saying: "This is the medicine that was just successfully refined today, you will lie on the bed after you take it, and I will cast a spell to remove the curse, and this medicine will take effect quickly." During this process, I will always be on your pulse and probe the changes in your body. You have to keep in mind that if the medicine is done correctly, you will first feel hot and soreness or swelling in your legs and feet. If it is something else, then it means that the medicine is wrong, and you should not panic at that time, just do what I say. ”

Lelin nodded and took the pill. The pill was still warm, and she took a bite carefully.

It's so bitter! A strange smell of bitterness and bitterness rushed straight to her brain, almost turning her bitter. She really wanted to swallow the whole pill in one bite, but the pill was soft and sticky, and she couldn't swallow it if she didn't chew it!

"It's so unpalatable. She grumbled with a frown.

The druid chuckled and said, "Haven't you heard of the medicine that feels bitter when you eat it?"

"I've never heard of it!" Le Lin chewed the pill with great difficulty, grunting dissatisfiedly, "Any magic potion I've drunk before is not so bitter, I feel like I'm going to vomit." Why are your secret druids so weird?"

"This can't be sustained?" the druid looked mocking: "This medicine is not bad, I have taken dozens of medicines that are ten times more bitter than this! Don't complain, if you want to get better sooner, you must take it all, and you are not allowed to vomit it! I have spent a lot of effort to make it." ”

After taking the medicine with difficulty, Le Lin suddenly remembered that she should pray once.

"I'm going to pray to the gods. She said to the druid, and when she had gotten her permission, she went to the little wooden window, knelt in the light that shone into the room, and prayed quietly for a while.

As she stood up and turned around, the druid suddenly asked, "Do you really believe that Elise is protecting you?"

Lelin was slightly angry in his heart, listening to this druid's tone, he didn't pay attention to his gods at all, "What is that Elise Emerald God" is really a very unkind tone. Le Lin glared at him, but he was also his nominal master, and he couldn't say anything.

His tone was so impulsive, maybe it was because the gods everyone believed in were different. Lelin comforted herself.

At this moment, her stomach suddenly became hot, and with severe pain, she fell to the ground with a snort.

"Medicine—it's not right!" she screamed, and there seemed to be knives stabbing and twisting in her abdomen, and all at once her limbs curled up and rolled on the ground.

The druid lunged at her with a lunge, leaned over and slammed his palm on her head, and a force rushed down from the top of her head, piercing the center of her foot. In the blink of an eye, Le Lin felt that the sharp pain in her stomach had eased a lot. Without saying a word, the druid immediately took her right wrist and put a few fingers on it as soon as he laid her flat on the bed.

The "trumpet" was the druid's method of diagnosing her condition, and sometimes the process lasted for a long time. But now as soon as the druid's hand was on her wrist, a numbing force came from the fingers, rushing down the muscles of the arm into her heart.

Lelin was a little frightened, partly because the medicine in her stomach had not been cleared, and partly because of the strange power of the druid. Now that numb power began to spread rapidly throughout her body, she felt as if her body was out of control, and it became very difficult to even move a finger. These strange forces are gradually grasping the control of her body!

"Y-what are you doing?" asked Lelin, looking up in disbelief.

The druid's eyes were half-closed. He was very focused on sensing something, and after being interrupted, he became very impatient, and shouted at her: "What are you panicking about? I'm using secret techniques to check the properties of the medicine! You can rest assured! I can't die!"

"You should — get rid of the medicine I took first. Le Lin, who had lost part of her body control, protested intermittently.

"Oh, I know!" Druid, looking a little agitated after being interrupted again, said anxiously, "It's not a big problem now, I have to judge the effect of this medicine in order to make the right medicine next time." Don't panic! Just lie down and don't move! Don't say anything! I'll tell you something. Don't bother me from now on!"

Lelin was taken aback, the druid's attitude suddenly changed, he used to speak always without being angry, and even Lelin sometimes said something out of line, he didn't care. Why did he suddenly become so stern and impatient today?But now that he was a healer, Le Lin could only grit her teeth and endure the constant pain in her stomach.

After a while, the pain in my stomach began to weaken, but a tingling sensation began to appear all over my body, at first it was only a slight soreness, then it was like being bitten by thousands of ants, and finally it turned into countless steel needles stabbing out of the body.

But Lelin didn't even have the ability to moan! Her whole body was in a terrible state of numbness, let alone crying, and she couldn't even turn her eyes! And that druid was still "pulse" with his eyes closed!

Lelin began to curse in her heart, one moment scolding the druid for being a monster, the next scolding for making her like this, and the next scolding the god Femmulika. Then her mind began to sink too, and the tingling pain seemed to slowly fade away, as she passed out little by little.

When she woke up, she found that her arms, legs and feet were full of silver needles, and the pain all over her body had completely subsided. She breathed a sigh of relief, and then found that the druid was smiling at her, and said in a tone of contempt, "It seems that that Elise Emerald of yours is not very responsible for your blessing, and the first time he tried the medicine, he ran into the wrong medicine." ”

"That's because your skills are so poor!" Lelin protested dissatisfiedly, "And I prayed after drinking your medicine!, so it's not that God is not responsible!" She couldn't tolerate this druid's contempt and mockery of her faith, although he was his own master, and his own life was still in his hands, and Colleline could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Unexpectedly, the druid did not get angry this time, but showed a look of admitting defeat, waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, this time it's my problem, then next time before I refine the medicine, you can pray and pray, don't let me make this wrong medicine again." ”

After 5 days.

The druid handed another black pill of the same size to Lelin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed praying. He laughed, "Have you prayed these days? Did your god tell you that the result of this test was a headache or a stomachache?"

This way of speaking against the gods made Le Lin quite dissatisfied, and she asked unceremoniously, "Are you an unbeliever, don't you pray to the gods you believe in every day, don't your gods answer you?"

Unbelievers, that's a very threatening word, no one in this world feels like an unbeliever, even the high-ranking mages who are above the top will claim to believe in a god, even if they are always shallow believers. Of course, there are many people in this world who do not believe in gods, and for various reasons they turn to the devil, demons, the powers of the outer plane, or other beings who transcend mortals. But at least on the surface, they would still make up a false name of a god to show that they still had faith. For it is believed that the unbelievers will be nailed to the wall of divine punishment in the kingdom of death and will be tortured for eternity. It is also rumored that the souls of the unbelievers will fall to the lowest levels of hell and be devoured little by little by Asmodeus, the lord of hell lurking there, until they disappear into the universe forever.

The druid was stunned for a moment, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I revere Elikia, the god of the water element, but she doesn't seem to be interested in my prayers, so she never answers me. ”

"Hahahaha," Le Lin chuckled, "Except for the fire elemental god Kataus, most of the elemental gods don't like to answer the prayers of their believers. No wonder you don't have much respect for the gods, it turns out that you have found such a god to believe in. Are you embarrassed to talk about me now?"

"I don't think your god has answered you. The druid urged, "Hurry up and take the medicine." If your god really takes care of you, then let her bless you with this medicine without a problem. ”

While chewing on the very unpalatable bitter pill, Le Lin grunted unconvinced: "Who said there was no response? It was with her blessing that I was able to be rescued by you from the slave traders!",

The druid asked angrily and amusefully, "Oh, is it because of Elise and not mine that you were saved?"

"Why do you talk like that?!" Le Lin finally got angry: "Is God's favor measurable by man? You saved me, but why did I meet you and not others? Why did you buy me and not others? It's all because God is bless me!"

"I bought you because God is blessing you?" the druid looked very surprised, and then sneered and said, "You can think of such a reason." It's really laughing, hahahaha. ”

Lelin was suddenly angry, but after all, the other party was his master, and he was a druid who didn't have much interest in the gods, and now arguing with him couldn't get any results, so he ignored him.

But really, why did he buy it that night and not somebody else?

Half an hour later.

"Still no response?" the druid sat on the edge of the bed, pressing his four fingers on Lelin's wrist to give her a pulse, and asked puzzledly, "Strange, it should have changed a little, why hasn't the function of your internal organs changed at all?"

Le Lin interjected, "It must be that your medicine is wrong, and my gods protect me from the medicine, so there is no change in my body." ”

"It's all nonsense!" the druid snorted coldly and said, "If there is a god interfering, then there will be a divine art." But so far I didn't feel anything. It must have changed my medicine unexpectedly when it was being refined. He pondered for a while and then said, "You stay in the room, and I'll come and give you a pulse every half an hour to see what happens to your visceral function." I don't believe I can't see the name of the name!" After speaking, he lowered his head and turned to leave.
