In the grand church hall, the priest Felli looked down at a farmer kneeling at his feet.
The other party's originally burly figure is now hunched over, his hands are shaking slightly, and his skin is abnormally bluish-purple. In less than a long time, these color blocks will condense into black spots, and eventually spread to the whole body until today, and they are infected enough.
I know you, living in Shishan, Dongcheng District, often bringing some fresh wheat grains to the church.The priest spoke.
You... remember me!Great, Lord Priest, he kowtowed repeatedly, "My family is infected with evil diseases, I, I need the Holy Spirit potion, please
But what did you bring to the church this time?Holy medicine is not something that can be given at will. Feili said slowly, and it requires you to exchange it with a pious heart.
I and the mice were cheated of money in order to buy medicine. Shi Shan said tremblingly, please forgive me for being dishonest and should not seek shortcuts from the black market.I have only one egg left now, so please accept it.He took out a round egg from his arms and raised his hands over his head.
If you place your hope on a black market full of fraud and injustice, you will naturally be punished. However, God will always lend a helping hand to the lost Lamb. Only those who realize their fault will go further and further on the road of pilgrimage. Feili took the egg and smiled and said, "Get up, God forgives you."
Really, really?Shishan dared not believe it.
God's messenger never deceives people.Fei Li waved, and another believer immediately walked up with a box of potion.
He picked out four bottles from them and handed them to the other party.
If I remember correctly, your family has four people, right?
yes!Sir, he swallowed, held the Holy Spirit potion in his hand, bent down and kissed the priest's shoes. Thank you, thank you!I will definitely devote my whole life to the church and to the true God in the future!
The onlookers were also moved by this scene and cheered, happy that the church family had a new pious person.
After the cheers stopped, Fei Li pressed his hands down to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said aloud: Next.
……
Such a ritual continues until dusk.
As the bell rings at the royal city, the priest Feili declared that the ceremony ended today and continued tomorrow morning, and left the hall amid the sound of everyone's retention and begging.
Although he was a little tired, he was still energetic. He stood in the hall and listened to the pleas and prayers of the people. Seeing them impatiently trying to please themselves, he couldn't help but feel that he was a god.
No, like a god, the church itself. Fei Li thought that after developing evil epidemics and medicines, he could easily control the life and death of others. What is the difference between this power and the true god?
He couldn't help but sigh that the most correct choice he made in his life was to give up inheriting his family business and devote himself to the church.
In the face of such a force, no one can stop it.A wealthy businessman?A nobleman with a high position and a powerful position?In the face of death, they are willing to abandon everything in exchange for the opportunity to survive.
Back at the rest area of the back hall, a priest hurriedly came forward and whispered in his ear: Sir, a mouse reported that he had discovered the situation.
About what?
He will only be willing to tell the details of the fleeing people in the East after seeing you.The priest replied.
According to the church's previous instructions, Feili should make full use of the evil epidemic and antidotes to transform more believers for Hermes as much as possible. Therefore, it is also part of his plan to win over the escaped people, but compared with the citizens of the royal capital, the importance is not so high.
He planned to spend another two or three days, and then leave the city for treatment when these homeless wanderers die of illness, and at the same time let them fill the vacancy in the royal capital.
In this way, a huge royal city will have a population of 90% of the church believers. Such achievements, coupled with the previous order to fight for the king, may be enough to make him go further and take the position of bishop.
At least in terms of rewarding merits, the church is very fair, never considering the bloodline and identity of the meritorious person. As long as he performs well, he can be promoted.
Could it be that something went wrong among the escaped people?
He suppressed the doubts in his heart and said calmly, "Take him to the secret talk room, I'll be there later."
Yes, sir.
Fei Li took off the priest's robe, took out a soft armor from the closet and replaced it, then put it on a loose coat, and after a little tidying up at the Silver Mirror, he walked towards the secret talk room.
In the small room in the basement, the priest saw the whistleblower's messy hair, a burnt face, and a thin, and could see the shape of the bone at a glance.
But strangely, there were no symptoms of dark spots on him.
My name is Needle Eye. When the other party saw the priest, he immediately knelt down and said, "I have important information to tell you."
You tell me.
But... he raised his head, looked at the other two in the spy room, and stopped talking.
It's okay, this is the priest Shattas, my capable subordinate, Fei Li said, the other is the brown-toothed mother-in-law, who is responsible for the management of this secret room and almost never leaves this place.
Then I'll say it, but you promised
The potion was here, and he impatiently took out the blue bottle and shook it. As long as your information was valuable, I would naturally cure your evil epidemic.
Sir, I promise that this information is absolutely amazing. Needle Eye raised his head and said, "Someone is transporting escaped people continuously, and there are vacant ships everywhere on the canal. This is what I have seen with my own eyes."I'm afraid they will be able to take all the escaped people away in a few days.
Take away those dark spot patients?Fei Li frowned, are you reading it right?
He had also received news that a fleet had received refugees from the East, but this was normal. Nobles from all over the country liked to plunder a group of labor at extremely low prices when natural disasters or disasters occurred in other territories.
Anyway, when the evil epidemic occurs, those idiots will naturally be punished by gods.
But now...how can anyone even shelter refugees even though they know that the evil epidemic is rampant?
No, they have a cure for evil diseases!The dark spots quickly subsided after the mercenaries drank a bag of strange water to the patient.Some people also claimed that they came from the West and that as long as the fugitives followed the fleet, they would receive food, shelter and remuneration.The needle eye paused, and the most incredible thing was that there were witches among these people!
What did you say?
It's true, sir!He shouted, "I got on the boat in the ranks of fugitives. I didn't notice it at first. Until someone jumped into the boat and fled, the mercenaries on the shore chased after a while, I noticed that the circling black shadow in the sky was not a bird, but a flying witch."I was so scared that I didn't dare to move until the sailboat sailed for several miles and could no longer see the witch, I found a chance to dive and escape, and it took almost a day to come back.The needle's eyes rubbed his hands, sir, do you think this information is worth exchanged for a bottle of holy medicine Ah?
Wait, you said they have a way to treat evil diseases, and you also drank the potion, which means you are not sick now?Fei Li asked.
Uh... That's right, but you didn't say that, as long as you find valuable information, you can grin awkwardly, revealing a jagged yellow teeth.
So that's it. He wanted to take this bottle of Holy Spirit potion that he could no longer use to sell it on the black market. Fei Li pondered for a moment, how many people were there on the other side?Are you sure they are all mercenaries of the caravan?
Indeed, they had no armor or horses, their weapons were all wooden spears, and the number of people... The needle's head scratched, at most no more than one hundred people!
Where is the ship?Which one is from?
I don’t know this...I don’t know. Most ships don’t have flags, and even if they are hung, I can’t recognize them.Anyway, the mercenary said in person that the fleet would lead to the Western border.Ah… By the way, he also mentioned that this was the recruitment of the lord of the border town.He racked his brains to recall that it seemed that in order to reclaim the land, the lord needed to accommodate a large amount of manpower.That's all I can remember.
Well, it is indeed a very important intelligence sacrifice. After hearing this, the priest took a deep breath, took out the bottle of blue potion from his arms, threw it towards the needle's eye, take it, it's yours.
Thank you, thank you sir!The latter hurriedly caught the bottle, suddenly trembled all over and widened his eyes.
I saw a slender short sword piercing out from his neck, and the tip of the sword emitted a faint cold light, and standing behind him was the elderly and aged secret room manager.
The other party's originally burly figure is now hunched over, his hands are shaking slightly, and his skin is abnormally bluish-purple. In less than a long time, these color blocks will condense into black spots, and eventually spread to the whole body until today, and they are infected enough.
