Chapter 361: The Orphanage's Request
"It's okay, I'll make a new one. Jiang Junming said.
Priest Raphael said: "We care that the church only has temples in remote and poor places, and the bigger the place, the more difficult it is to develop, and the more decaying, I don't know why, so our church has never had a good opportunity to develop." ”
Jiang Junming thought that maybe it had something to do with the fact that the bigger the place, the better the medical conditions, and the weaker the role of a small church like the Care Church. Priest Raphael's doubts were taken for granted in Jiang Junming's view, and caring for the church could only seek a little opportunity for development in places where other big churches were unwilling to set foot in.
Carefully observing the holy emblem and goddess statues in the temple, especially the goddess statues, Jiang Junming was most interested. After careful observation, Jiang Junming noticed that there seemed to be a deviation between the statue here and the one in his memory, and he had no impression of this deviation at all.
"Junming, you can help make a goddess statue and a holy emblem. Priest Raphael pleaded again.
Jiang Junming said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, let's pray first, and after the prayer, I'll do it immediately." ”
Tirida and Price Jr. were not believers in the Caring Church, so they retreated to the door of the temple at this time, and Jiang Junming, Priest Raphael and others knelt down in front of the statue and emblem of the Goddess of Care and began to pray.
As Jiang Junming began to pray, the entire temple began to tremble, and the temple, which originally did not look sturdy and would collapse at any time, seemed to be about to collapse. Tirida and Little Price stood in the doorway and looked into the temple in amazement, as a white glow appeared on the emblem. Soft and steady. The light was faint, much lighter than the emblem of the Temple of the Goddess of Care in Twilight City. It is also understandable that the emblem is a holy artifact. How can the two be compared?
To the surprise of Little Price and Tirida, the goddess in the temple was decaying at an accelerated rate, the mottled color of the statue was rapidly turning gray, and the wood below was rotting at a rate visible to the naked eye. It is as if the statue of the goddess has been placed in the long river of time, baptized by time, and will rot into a pair of wooden dregs.
The emblem brightens and radiates light, which is a miracle. In any church, this is a miracle and is beyond reproach. Tireda and Little Price have been together with Jiang Junming for a long time. They are immune to this miracle, seeing it as well as not seeing it, and they are more concerned about the decay of the idol.
This should be a kind of expression of God's wrath, whether it is Tirida or Price's mind, there are many books written about the time of God's wrath. Among them, the idol is changed. This is one of the most important changes. It's like now, the idol of the goddess of care is decaying at an accelerated pace, this is not the wrath of the gods, what else can it be!
But the two of them couldn't understand it again, one side was a miracle, and the other side was a divine wrath, what was going on? The two completely opposite expressions, not only Tirida and Little Price, but also several priests and believers who cared for the church were also dumbfounded. Not sure what the hell is going on.
Priest Raphael panicked and said to Jiang Junming: "Junming, what's wrong?"
Jiang Junming didn't have any other bad feelings. is concentrating on prayer, although it is only a decayed goddess statue, Jiang Junming can still feel the divine power of the goddess of care appear in the temple, which is no different from the temple of the goddess of care in Twilight City.
Hearing Raphael's question, Jiang Junming opened his eyes and was a little surprised to see the appearance of the holy emblem and the statue of the goddess. What's going on?
"Do you feel anything?" Jiang Junming asked.
"I can feel the gaze of the goddess of care, I can feel the favor of the goddess. After Priest Raphael panicked, he felt the divine power around him, except for the abnormality of the goddess statue, it was normal. If there is anything abnormal, it is that the surging divine power around it is simply too strong, and the power of the purest goddess of care fills the entire temple.
He is really worthy of a young priest who cares about the goddess's favor, and as soon as he prays, a miracle will appear, and such a strong divine power will appear around him. Priest Raphael felt the surging divine power, looked at Jiang Junming with envy, and thought in his heart.
"How do I feel that my magic has improved?" said Oran Priest in a whisper, looking at his hands, both hands in front of his eyes, looking dejected.
Hearing what Priest Oran said, Priest Raphael prayed quickly, and then a divine light appeared on his hand. The old man's hand trembled slightly, and the light of the divine magic was then extinguished. Priest Raphael looked at his hands in disbelief, just as Orlan couldn't believe what was happening in front of his eyes.
The level of the Divine Technique has been increased by one level!
Priest Raphael felt in a trance that the power contained in the first-level healing magic he had cast had been inexplicably raised to the level of the second-level healing divine technique, and even a little higher.
Tirida and Price Jr. stood in the gateway, watching in amazement what was happening in the Temple of the Goddess of Care, and it was hard for them to understand. The improvement of the level of divine arts cannot be accomplished overnight. How can you pray with Jiang Junming once, and you can also get the favor of the goddess of care? At this moment, Tireda and little Price were thinking, why are they not believers in the goddess of care? Or if Jiang Junming was a believer of the god of morning light, the young priest who was favored and favored by the god of morning light, he got along with him day and night, and the level of divine magic had to be improved.
Under the leadership of Priest Raphael, the priests and believers of the Moonlight City Care Church knelt down in front of the emblem and loudly thanked the Goddess of Care for her gifts and favors.
Jiang Junming looked at the rotten goddess statue, which was no longer in shape, and felt strange in his heart, and carefully combed through the feelings just now, looking for the reason for this strange scene.
When I started praying just now, the power appeared from my body and was stimulated, this is the power of the light brain, there is no doubt about this, Jiang Junming also understands. But why did the idol decay? Could it be that the idol didn't bear any resemblance to the little girl who had been transformed into a light brain, and that she was angry?
Belch...... Could this be the case? Jiang Junming thought of the little girl with a light brain and a temper that was becoming more and more similar, although it was only a guess of his own. But this kind of speculation, Jiang Junming feels infinitely close to the truth.
"I don't think it's like a god or a goddess of care. Therefore, the degree of compatibility is not high, and it cannot be compatible with the divine power, so this change will occur in the light of the miracle. Jiang Junming thought about it for a long time before he found such a sentence to express what he had just thought in his heart.
Priest Oran looked at Priest Raphael, and both of them felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Jiang Junming's statement, but the changes that had occurred in him were irrefutable. The goddess of care is not angry, otherwise there would be no such thing as her divine skill level being raised.
"Junming. We take your word for it. "You are a devotee of the purest goddess of care we have ever seen, and I don't think you are wrong. ”
"Junming. That's how I feel, too. "Although there are not many believers in Moonlight City, my heart clearly tells me that you are the purest believer. When Priest Raphael first decided to recommend you for the preliminary selection of the Church College. I also expressed doubts about the words of Priest Raphael. Look now. Indeed, as Raphael said, you are the one who cares for the guidance given to us by the goddess, and you are the one chosen by the goddess. ”
"I will carve out a statue of the goddess of better care, rest assured. Jiang Junming said.
Priest Raphael and Priest Oran were excited. If he had heard Jiang Junming say this before, no one would have been sure if he would have been able to carve a statue like the goddess statue in the Temple of the Goddess of Care in Twilight City. But what happened today convinced the two of them that Jiang Junming was indeed a priest who cared for the goddess's favor, otherwise how could he have increased his divine skill level when he prayed with him? The two of them have completely believed Jiang Junming.
"Priest Raphael, are you there?" there was a hurried shout from outside the temple. The person who spoke was very hurried, and the voice Jiang Junming was somewhat familiar.
Raphael glanced at Jiang Junming and said apologetically: "Someone should be sick, I'll take a look." ”
"Let's go check it out. Jiang Junming heard that someone was sick and was sent for treatment, so he stood up with Priest Raphael and walked out.
Out of the temple, Jiang Junming saw an old man hurrying over, the figure was very familiar, it was the director of the orphanage.
Unexpectedly, he saw him in the temple of the goddess of care, Jiang Junming thought to find time to go back to the orphanage to have a look. The dean was very good to himself back then, perhaps because he was diligent and sensible, so he was finally sent to the wilderness herb shop as an apprentice, which was one of the best places for orphans to go to the right place.
"Dean, you're here!" Jiang Junming ran a few steps forward and said with some excitement.
"Are you ......" The director of the orphanage looked at Jiang Junming, didn't recognize it for a while, looked at it carefully, and then said hesitantly, "Are you Junming?"
"Yes, I'm Junming. What are you doing here? Who is sick?" Jiang Junming asked.
"This little guy started to have diarrhea last night, I cooked her some rice soup to drink, but it still doesn't work, it's almost ...... now" The director of the orphanage sighed, and behind him, several older children carried a stretcher, on which lay a little girl, dressed the same as Jiang Junming, with patches, but the clothes were very clean.
The little girl's face was pale, and her hands trembled occasionally, and only the slightest tremor proved that she was still alive. Otherwise, she looks like a dead person.
"Is it an old problem?" Jiang Junming asked.
"Well, yes, a few people leave like that every year. The dean said gloomily.
"Divine ......" Jiang Junming said, and his words were paused. This kind of disease magic should have no effect, through the research just now, Jiang Junming determined that this "toxin" in the water of Moonlight City is a parasite similar to schistosome, and that kind of parasite grows much faster than schistosome. Ordinary healing magic will not work at all, if it is a high-level healing magic skill, it may be okay, and the refreshing potion can also be treated, but the priest of the caring church ......
Raphael said, "Carry the man to the temple, and I'll try it." ”
In previous years, such patients were sent to the temple of the goddess of care for treatment, and Raphael also knew that this disease could not be treated at all by his own healing magic. But just now, the miracle of the goddess of care shines on him, and the level of the divine art has increased, and he also wants to give it a try to see if it works now.
The little girl was carried to the temple of the goddess of care. Putting it on the ground, Priest Raphael saw that the little girl was in a bad state and hurriedly began to pray. Then cast a healing spell.
Before the light of the magic dissipated, Jiang Junming had already come to the little girl's side and felt her pulse. Raphael's divine skills will not work, Jiang Junming can be sure of this, so Jiang Junming is unwilling to waste time, and begins to examine the body in the light of the healing divine art.
The vital signs were very weak, and Jiang Junming briefly checked his body. It was determined that she must have suffered from a parasitic disease.
After confirming the symptoms, Jiang Junming stood up and said to Tireda, "Tireda." Please go back to the Wilderness Herb Shop and get a bottle of pick-me-up. ”
Tireda didn't dare to hold a beard, and after Jiang Junming finished speaking, he answered. Turn around and leave. Running away from the temple of the goddess of care.
"Refreshing potion?" asked the director of the orphanage, confused.
"Well, now look, only a pick-me-up potion can cure her. Jiang Junming said affirmatively.
Priest Raphael didn't understand what Jiang Junming wanted Tireda to do to get the refreshment potion, and Priest Oran was also very puzzled. People who live near the slums know that a refreshment is a very common, or the most common, medicine. This child is already dying, and he can't even be cured by magic skills, so what good can the refreshment potion be?
The director of the orphanage angrily raised the cane in his hand and smashed it at Jiang Junming. While smashing, he scolded: "You kid, didn't you also get out of the orphanage back then? You're already dead. Now that you put on the clothes of a priest, you don't treat the children in the orphanage as human beings?"
When Little Price saw that the old man raised his hand and hit Jiang Junming, he rushed up and wanted to pull the old man away. Jiang Junming smiled, didn't hide, let the crutches hit his body, pulled away the little Price who rushed up, and said with a smile: "Dean, it's not like this, you misunderstood." ”
"What's the misunderstanding? Don't think I don't know, what is the use of the refreshing potion, you tell me, what is the use of the refreshment potion!" said the dean, and picked up his cane to hit Jiang Junming again.
Seeing that the trouble was not good, Raphael quickly persuaded him: "Jun Ming is a priest who cares for the church, and he will not forget that he grew up in an orphanage. This child can't be treated with magic anymore, don't be too sad, carry the person back, take a bath, change into new clothes, and let her go clean. ”
Hearing what Priest Raphael said, the director of the orphanage bowed his head and sighed, turned back to the children and said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”
Jiang Junming grew up in an orphanage and knew that the dean had done his best. He said very simply, he gave the child some rice soup. Elsewhere, rice soup may not be a big deal. But in the orphanage, rice soup is already their best tonic. He took her to the temple of the goddess of care and asked the priest for help. Everything he could have done had been done, and now that Priest Raphael had made up his mind, what else could he do but carry the little girl back to die?
"Wait. Jiang Junming stopped at the door of the temple and said loudly.
"What are you waiting for! I've only been gone for a few years, and I tell you, if you don't get out of the way, don't say I'm going to beat you to death here. The old dean said angrily.
Price Jr. doesn't cry, neither does he laugh. How many people did Jiang Junming's refreshing potion save in Twilight City? How did he return to Moonlight City, and the people here didn't even believe him? Even Priest Raphael, who had just seen Jiang Junming cause a miracle, didn't believe him, what the hell was going on?
Seeing that the director of the orphanage was about to beat Jiang Junming again, Little Price hurriedly stopped in front of Jiang Junming and said sternly: "Stop! I am Little Price, the son of Bishop Price of the Chenguang Church, Junming is not lying, why don't you believe him?"
"Morning Light Church?" the director of the orphanage heard little Price say this, recognized the holy emblem he was wearing, and hurriedly saluted respectfully.
Little Price didn't leave at this time, he didn't go, he stood very uncomfortable in front of the orphanage director, thinking about Jiang Junming behind him, he hurriedly helped the old dean up, and Wen Yan persuaded him, "Junming's medicine has saved many people in Twilight City, you have to believe him." ”
"Do you believe it?" the director of the orphanage did not dare to offend little Price, although he did not believe what he said at all, and only muttered quietly.
"Junming, I'm back. There was a stalemate, and Tirida said loudly outside, and as she spoke, the man had already run in.
Moonlight City is really not very big, and it didn't take long for Tirida to come and go, running all the way, not even a breath of air. He was holding a bottle of refreshing elixir in his hand, which was refined by Jiang Junming last night and handed it to Jiang Junming.
Jiang Junming didn't say anything to the dean, he knew that the old dean of the orphanage was very stubborn, and he couldn't understand what he said, so it was better to let the little girl drink the refreshing potion directly.
Besides, the little girl is in a very bad state, and if she delays a little longer, she is afraid that she will die in the temple. Isn't it a joke that a sick person who can be healed dies in the temple of the goddess of care.
At first, Priest Raphael and Priest Oran still felt that they had heard it wrong, Jiang Junming was not talking about a refreshing potion, but something else. But when Tirida brought the potion back, they saw that it was the kind of refreshing potion they were familiar with.
What kind of joke is he kidding? Priest Raphael and Priest Oran were at a loss, and they didn't know what Jiang Junming wanted to do with the refreshing potion. (To be continued......)
