Chapter 363: Good intentions are often misunderstood
He cautiously opened the test tube, careful not to spill the liquid inside on his hands.
A drop of blood-like liquid landed on the obsidian skull of Zuò, and a red glow suddenly rose from inside the dark basement. The light first appeared on the obsidian skull, then slowly emitted and drifted out of the skull. The three black shadows didn't expect this to happen, and they were dumbfounded.
As the blood-like liquid emitted a red glow, a black glow bloomed from the obsidian zuò skull. Black and red roam the basement like two black and red fish.
The three of them looked at it at a loss, and suddenly a crack opened on the ground engraved with the dark magic array, as if it was a crack in the ground, and the crack suddenly appeared, but it was silent, and a cold air from the ground erupted, and the three of them shivered.
As the ground cracked, three black breaths poured out of the ground, as if a bed crossbow was buried underground, and three crossbow arrows shot at the three black-clothed men.
The three of them were startled and just wanted to dodge, but it was too late for them to find out, and the black aura seemed to have locked on their figures, no matter how they dodged, the black qi still entered their bodies directly from their noses.
This qiē process took place silently, in a silence like darkness. The three men in black maintained the last movement when the black aura entered their bodies, and their faces were shrouded in a layer of black qi, which looked so strange in the black and red wandering light.
The black aura that enveloped the faces of the three men in black then began to converge and finally appeared in their eyes. Agile and active, both eyes are completely black, and there are no white pupils. There are no black pupils, just pure black, and like their clothes, monotonous and boring.
As their eyes turned black, the three men in black opened their mouths together, and black breath erupted from their mouths. These three black breaths seemed to take away their vitality, and every little black gas was spewed out. Their bodies will all shrink in a circle.
The black breath that erupted from his mouth and the black, red light in mid-air merged, like a dark cloud, covering the obsidian skull of zuò in the middle of the magic array. Then it was as if it had turned into a hand, completely covering the skull.
The entire basement was once again covered in darkness, and even the remnants of the divine light were gone, and everything disappeared into the darkness.

That's when it happened. Jiang Junming suddenly woke up. There was a strange feeling in my heart, as if something very familiar and extremely disgusting appeared, but it disappeared in an instant. This feeling made Jiang Junming feel a little palpitating, and the feeling of disgust was very clear, but it was so familiar, Jiang Junming didn't know why he had this feeling, and looked around a little confused, Tirida and Little Price slept soundly. Although the bunks on the floor were very different from the large beds they usually slept on, it was a busy day. They're all tired, too.
In the dead of night, even the cries of autumn insects have been reduced, Jiang Junming didn't find anything special, but he felt like he had entered the six-sided cuboid space of the light brain and rested, his whole body was full of energy, and he was very well rested, which was completely different from the feeling of tiredness a few days ago.
Jiang Junming simply didn't think about things he couldn't think about, he got up in the middle of the night, full of energy, Jiang Junming began to lie on the ground and think about the battle with the few strong men of the Blue Wolf Chamber of Commerce, slowly moving and adapting to his arms and elbow joints that had been modified.

Somewhere in the Wizard's Spire, although it was late at night, the Magician was still busy working, tirelessly doing magic experiments, as if there was nothing else in this world worthy of his attention except magic experiments.
The broken glass mirror on the table beside him had been replaced with a new one, and the figure of the magician appeared in the mirror, busy.
Suddenly, a white light flashed in the mirror, and the figure of the magician in the mirror was obscured by the light, and it was so white that it was impossible to see anything clearly.
The magician sensed the change in the mirror, and with a wave of his hand, a black aura appeared, enveloping the mirror and blocking the white light that appeared in the mirror. Then he quickly took out the black magician's robe, covered his head with a black hood, and then dispelled the black aura shrouded in the mirror, and said angrily: "How many times have I told you, don't contact me without saying hello, otherwise it will be easy to have bad consequences!"
In the mirror, several vague figures appeared, and the sound was very faint, just like when the magician cast a spell on the basin, and even men and women could not hear it. The man on the other side ignored the magician's angry words, and instead spoke to himself.
"The magic apparatus arranged on that side has been destroyed, and the last message that comes back is that it may have been destroyed by the dark magic. ”
The magician, dressed in a black mage robe and wearing a black hood, waved his hand impatiently and said, "I'm not interested in internal strife. ”
"Several powerful churches have made unforgeable vows that they didn't do it. ”
"They're not a joke!" said the magician, sneering.
"It has just subsided, and no one will stir up trouble without authorization. ”
"The one who can do this, at the very least, is the Cun Zài of the Divine Mansion of the Medium Divine Strength, how dare I provoke it. The magician said coldly.
"You are ready to go, and in a few days someone will join you. The blurred image in the mirror still spoke muffled words as if it hadn't heard what the magician was saying, but had assigned a task.
"I've said it, I can't solve it. Those who can do this kind of thing are at least medium-level god mansions, what do you want me to do?
"It's completely ready, you don't have to worry. The man on the other side of the mirror finally responded to the magician's anger, and the image in the mirror began to spin, turning into a blurred pattern like a thread, and then vanished.
The black-robed magician yelled at the mirror. Countless foul words came out, casting his discontented feelings.

Early the next morning, Jiang Junming got up very early. After washing, Tirida and Price Jr. got up. Although the two of them slept all night, they were very uncomfortable on the floor, obviously not well-rested, and they were mentally exhausted.
Jiang Junming thought it was funny, I am afraid that they will never adapt to this kind of life.
"Junming, where are we going today?" Tirida asked, yawning.
"Let's go to the orphanage. I haven't been back in months, and I miss being there. Jiang Junming said.
Tirida asked curiously, "Haven't you been out of there for a few years?"
"Yes, I'm here as an apprentice in the Wilderness Herb Shop. It's a busy job here, and I don't have time. When I go to the market to buy something or do something I pass by, I always look at it from a distance. At that time, I thought, wait until I have the money. I'll buy a lot of good food and send it to them. He said. Jiang Junming smiled and said, "At that time, I had never seen gold coins, so I thought that silver coins were enough. ”
"Uh......" Tirida knew that what Jiang Junming said was true, an orphanage in such a small place, I am afraid that a dozen or dozens of orphans would not be able to spend a few silver coins a month.
"The children are still young, and in order to survive, they have to work every day, and there are some jobs that are really not suitable for them. It's too onerous. So many children are sick, although they don't look serious now. It's not obvious, but if you get sick from overwork, there will be a big problem in the future. Jiang Junming said, sighed, and continued: "Go today, I'll see what I can do." ”
"Sickness, I can help you, with divine healing. Tirida said. Little Price also said on the side: "Yes, the three of us cast magic spells, and we will definitely solve the problem." ”
Seeing that the two of them were very enthusiastic, Jiang Junming shook his head with a smile and said, "Those diseases can't be cured by divine magic. ”
Tireda and Little Price didn't believe Jiang Junming's words very much, but they didn't refute Jiang Junming's words, after all, they had witnessed many diseases that could not be treated by divine magic being cured by Jiang Junming, which was all a fact and could not be refuted.
After breakfast, Jiang Junming said a word to Vincent, and walked straight to the orphanage with Tirida and Little Price.
Moonlight City is very dilapidated, and although the Wilderness Herb Shop is not located in the slums, it is similar to the slums of Twilight. Low houses, stinky gutters, rats that appear from time to time. The rats here are so thin that they can't even feed the mice. They are also not afraid of people, perhaps starving, and finding a bite to eat is more important to them than a threat to humans.
Of course, the people here are used to seeing rats, and no one is interested in doing anything to these little ones, so they are busy.
There are houses on both sides of the street, and there are some small shops that have opened, but the business is not very good, and it is estimated that they can barely make ends meet, and it is as difficult to make a living as the wilderness herb shop.
Tirida was chatting with Jiang Junming as she walked, "Junming, what did you do at that time?"
"It's just cleaning the house at the herb shop, greeting customers, and sometimes running out to buy things. But the boss rarely asks me to buy anything, you know, he's stingy. Jiang Junming said with a smile, that stingy, without any dissatisfaction and disdain, and the words were full of warmth.
"I can't believe that you can grow up in such an environment. "In the family information, it says that you grew up in an orphanage and went to the wilderness herb shop. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been hard to imagine how difficult it was to grow up. ”
"It's okay, I don't feel anything after I get used to it. Jiang Junming said disappreciatively.
"Don't say it's you, I've lived in Moonlight City since I was a child, and I've never been here. Little Price said, "Jun Ming has such a high talent, fortunately, there is a Raphael priest recommended to study at the church college, otherwise it would be a waste to nest in such a small place." ”
"Huh. Jiang Junming smiled dryly and did not answer. What Little Price said was right, but only Jiang Junming knew that even if he nested here, he would be able to get out sooner or later, but in that case, it would not be necessary to do anything. After all, the light brain is in his own spirit, and if he becomes a necromancer who transforms his divine power into dark power, it seems that he may not be able to say it.
"Are there many children in the orphanage?" Tirida asked.
"It depends on the situation, if the outside world is in a recession, or if there is a catastrophe. Just a little more. Jiang Junming said: "It shouldn't be too much now, and life can go on." But they have minor ailments and don't have the money to treat them. Stand up on your own. If you can survive it, it's good, but if you can't get through it, a minor illness becomes a major illness, and a major illness can't be cured. Sometimes the Caring Church will give some therapy, but not often. If I hadn't been born in an orphanage, I would have been in that situation yesterday. Priest Raphael would not let the abbot enter the temple either. ”
Tirida thought about it, and it seemed like that. And Jiang Junming's statement should explain why he has a soft spot for caring for the church.
Soon. Jiang Junming and his entourage came to the orphanage. Hearing that Jiang Junming came to see everyone, the children waited in the yard early, lined up in an orderly manner, and no one spoke or made noise.
The director of the orphanage saw that Jiang Junming was coming. Greeted him. Some embarrassed Jiang Junming said: "Junming, you also know the situation here, some children have already believed in the God of Morning Light, and some children have believed in the God of Justice, they can't be converted, otherwise...... Belch...... Otherwise, you won't be able to get ......."
As he spoke, the old dean let out a long sigh.
Jiang Junming said with a smile: "Otherwise, you won't get the money, I know." Never mind. The goddess of care doesn't care about these things, as long as the cured children express their gratitude. Don't believe in caring for the goddess. ”
Tirida and Price Jr. knew that this was something that the big churches often did, especially in places like orphanages, where a certain number of believers could be obtained for a small amount of money, and no one cared about how far these believers believed in the gods.
This kind of thing is normal for Jiang Junming, and he has converted from a caring church to a big church like the Chenguang Church. If a promising young priest of the Morning Light Church converted to the Goddess of Care, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction and cause an uproar in the Morning Light Church. In the same way, the children in the orphanage who already had faith could not be converted, because that would inevitably offend the Church of Morning Light and the Church of Justice.
Seeing that Jiang Junming didn't care, the old dean was very grateful to Jiang Junming, and held Jiang Junming's hand hard, not knowing what to say.
Jiang Junming said with a smile: "Don't worry, and you don't have anything to be polite to me." I grew up here, too, and I'm happy to be able to come back and do something for everyone. ”
While he was talking, several priests rushed over from outside and walked into the orphanage. When the orphans in the orphanage saw so many priests suddenly walking in, they all hid back, and they were too timid to speak.
Jiang Junming looked at the three priests who walked in, and the holy emblems they wore were the Morning Light Church, the Justice Church, and the Guardian God Church.
Little Price saw the priest walk in, and said to Jiang Junming: "Knowing that you are coming to the orphanage today, the church specially sent several priests to assist you. ”
Jiang Junming felt that it was meaningless, but since the church had sent people, it was not good for him to drive people away with a cold face. And these people belong to the three most powerful churches, so you can see what is going on at a glance. Jiang Junming walked up to the priests with a smile and said, "Hello, I'm Junming, I'm bothering you today." ”
The Bright Temple Alliance in Moonlight City sent a total of three priests, and they looked at Jiang Junming's expression with some embarrassment, among which the priest of the Righteous Church said: "Divine Commander Junming has strong divine power, we all saw it that day. I can't say anything about helping, but I'm afraid that the Junming priest won't be able to do it, so let's help take care of it. ”
The words were very polite, but Jiang Junming could sense a little hostility from these people, especially one of them, his eyes were full of hostility when he looked at him. Jiang Junming also knew that this time because the Blue Wolf Chamber of Commerce bullied the Wilderness Herb Shop, he insisted on having a word about this matter, although he later found out that there was a dark magic array in the station of the Blue Wolf Chamber of Commerce, which could be regarded as helping the Moonlight City Light Temple Alliance solve a potential problem, but they had offended them before, and they must have an opinion about themselves.
Jiang Junming was not very polite, and after performing a ritual between priests and officials, Jiang Junming came to the front of the children and said, "If you have anything uncomfortable, just tell me, don't be restrained." Probably most of you don't know, I'm also a kid here, and I just left a few years ago. So, you're welcome, everybody. ”
Hearing Jiang Junming say this, the expressions of the children in the orphanage were much more relaxed, and some of the children were still very curious, eager to talk to Jiang Junming, and ask Jiang Junming what the situation was like after leaving here and the outside world. But the director of the orphanage glared at them and said, "Junming is here to see you, and I'll talk about it later if there is any problem." ”
"Dean, but we're not sick. An orphan said.
Several of the priests sent by the Bright Temple Alliance all showed disdain on their faces when they heard the orphan say this. In their opinion, Jiang Junming's visit to the orphanage to treat the orphans is like the bishop of every church who comes to the orphanage every year to go through the motions, in order to gain a greater reputation and win a good name, which can later give him a reputation of generosity in high society.
"The orphans said they weren't sick, and they didn't know what we were doing today. The priest of the Church of Morning Light muttered quietly.
"It's not clear yet, let's take a look and it'll be over in a while. He also said that what is a priest who cares for the favor of the goddess, in my opinion, is a shameless scoundrel who goes to the orphanage to treat children who are not sick, and I don't know what kind of illness he is seeing!" said the priest of the Church of the Guardian God.
"I told you to be quiet, don't get into trouble. The priest who spoke to Jiang Junming at the beginning scolded in a low voice. (To be continued......)
