Release that Witch Chapter 227: The informer
In the grand church hall, Priest Ferry is looking down at a farmer kneeling at his feet. [
The original burly figure of the other party has now shuffled into a ball, both hands shakes slightly, and the skin appears abnormal blue-violet. Or in a long time, these color patches will condense into dark spots, and eventually spread to the whole body until today. The infection is already strong enough.
"I know you. Rock Hill living in eastern district often brings some fresh grains to Church." The priest said.
"You ... remember me! Great priest," he said again and again, "my family is infected with evil diseases, I and I need holy elixir, please."
"But what did you bring to Church this time? elixir is not something you can give at will," Ferry said slowly, "it requires you to exchange with pious heart."
"I, I was cheated by Mouse to buy medicine," Rock Hill said with a trembling, "Please forgive my insincerity, and I should not seek a shortcut to the black market. I have only left The last egg, please accept it. "He took a round egg from his arms and both hands raised his head.
"Placing hope on a black market full of fraud and injustice will naturally be punished, but gods will always lend a helping hand to the lost lambs. Only those who realize their fault will be on the road to pilgrimage. Go further, "Ferry took the egg and smiled." Get up, God forgive you. "
"Really, really?" Rock Hill didn't dare to channel.
"God's envoy never lied." Ferry beckoned, and another believer immediately came forward with a box of potion. He picked out four bottles from it and handed them to each other. "If I remember correctly, there are four people in your family?"
"Yes! Lord," he swallowed, held holy elixir in his hand, and leaned down to kiss the priest's shoes. "Thank you, thank you! I will dedicate my life to Church all my life, to the true **** ! "
The spectators are also moved by this scene, cheering, and happy to add a devout person to the Church family.
When the cheers stopped, Ferry pressed down his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said loudly: "Next."
...
This medicine ritual continues until dusk.
With the bell sound of Kingdom Capital, Priest Ferry announced the end of today ’s ceremony and continued tomorrow morning, leaving the hall amid the retention and begging of everyone.
Although he was a bit tired, he was still trembling. He stood in the hall and listened to the entreaties and prayers of everyone, watching them can't wait to please themselves. It was gods's feeling that he couldn't help raising himself.
No, as gods is generally Church itself, Ferry thinks that after the release of the evil epidemic and drugs, it is easy to control the life and death of others. What is the difference between this power and the true god. He couldn't help expressing his regret that the most correct choice he had made in his life was to give up inheriting his family business and devote himself to Church.
In the face of such power, no one can stop it at all. A wealthy businessman? High-weight noble? In the face of death, they will be willing to give up everything in exchange for a chance to live.
Returning to the back hall rest area, a God's Officer hurriedly came forward and whispered in his ear: "Sir, Mouse reported that situation is now available."
"About what?"
"eastern region refugees, he will not say anything until he sees you." God's Officer replied.
According to the instructions before Church, Ferry should make full use of the evil epidemic and antidote to transform as many believers as possible for Hermes. Therefore, attracting refugees is also a part of his plan, but compared to Kingdom Capital city residents, importance is not so high That's it. He was planning to spend another two or three days, waiting for half of these homeless wanderers to die, and then leaving the city for treatment, while letting them fill the vacant Kingdom Capital. In this way, a large Kingdom Capital will have 90% of the population become Church's believers. Such feats, plus the previous struggle for the throne, are probably enough to allow him to go further and set foot in the position of bishop.
At least in terms of merit rewards, Church has done a fair job. It never considers the pedigree and identity of the merit, as long as it excels, it can be promoted.
What's wrong with Is it possible refugees?
He depressed bottom of heart's doubts and calmly said, "Take him to the secret room, I will be there later."
"Yes, sir."
Ferry took off the priest's robe, took out a soft armor from wardrobe, put it on, and put on a loose coat. After finishing a little in front of the silver mirror, he walked to the secret room.
In the small room in the basement, the priest saw the "whistleblower" with a messy head, a yellowish complexion, and a thin, thin arm. Strangely enough, no dark spots were seen on him.
"Sir, my name is Needle," the other party kneeled as soon as he saw the priest, "I have important information to tell you."
"You say it."
"But ..." He raised head, looked at the other two in the agent's room, and stopped talking.
"Anyway, this is Shattrath God's Officer, my capable man," said Ferry. "The other is Grandma Hea, who is responsible for the care and management of this secret room, and almost never leaves here."
"I said that, but you promised"
"The potion is here," he said impatiently, taking out the blue vial and shaking it. "As long as your intelligence is valuable, I will naturally cure your evil epidemic."
"Sir, I promise this information is absolutely amazing," Needle raised his head. "Someone is carrying refugees continuously, and there are vacant ships everywhere on the canal. This is what I have seen with my own eyes. I'm afraid it will take a few days. , They will be able to take all the refugees away. "
"Take away those patients with dark spots?" Ferry frowned, "Did you read that right?"
He had previously received news that a fleet was accepting eastern region refugees, but this is normal. situation noble all like to take advantage of the natural disaster or ** in other territories to search for a lot of labor at a very low cost. Anyway, until the evil epidemic, those idiots will naturally be punished by gods. But now ... why would anyone know that the epidemic was rampant and went to host refugees?
"No, they have a cure for evil diseases! After the mercenaries drank a strange bag of water to the patients, the dark spots quickly subsided. Some people also claimed that they came from Western Region, as long as refugees followed the ship When the team leaves, they will get food, accommodation and remuneration. "Needle paused," The most incredible thing is that there are witch in this group! "
"What did you say?"
"It's true, sir!" he yelled, "I got on the boat in the refugees team, but it didn't show up at the beginning. It wasn't until someone jumped off the boat and the mercenaries on the shore caught up after a while. I noticed that the circling shadow in the sky was not a bird, but a flying witch. I was scared to move until the sailboat sailed several miles away, and I could no longer see the trace of witch. Then I found a chance to dive and escape. It took almost a day to come back. "Needle rubbed his hands," Sir, see if this information is worth a bottle of elixir Ah? "
"Wait, you said they had a cure for evil, and you drank the potion, which means you are not sick now?" Ferry asked.
"Uh ... That's right, but you didn't say it, as long as you hear valuable news," Needle grinned awkwardly, revealing a jagged yellow tooth.
So that's it, he wants to take this bottle of holy elixir agent that he can no longer use and sell it on the black market. Ferry pondered for a moment, "How many people are there on the other side? Are you sure they are all mercenary of the caravan?"
"It's true. They don't have armor or horses. weapon are all wooden lances. The number of people ..." Needle scratched his head, "No more than a hundred people!"
"Where are the ships? Which one?"
"This ... I don't know. Most of the ships have no flags, and even if they do, I can't recognize them. Anyway, the mercenary himself said that the fleet would go to Western Region. Ah ... yes, he He also mentioned that this was the recruitment of Border Town feudal lord. "He racked his brains and recalled," It seems that in order to clear the land, feudal lord needs to contain a lot of manpower. That's all I can remember. "
"Well, it is indeed a important intelligence sacrifice." After the priest heard take a deep breath, he took the blue potion from his arms and threw it at Needle. "Take it, it is yours."
"Thank you, sir!" The latter caught the bottle in a hurry, suddenly trembling and widening his eyes. I saw a slender dagger coming out of his neck, and the tip of the sword showed a faint cold light, and standing behind him was the old and aging steward.
