Chapter 2: transfusion therapy

Views:

The small town of Agate Lake is located in the hinterland of the Grand Duchy.

The burlap clothes and the biting cold wind from the extreme north made Lei Luo curl up and left the church in a daze, thinking about how to face his father's disappointment when he returned home.

Depressed and sad.

Unknowingly, Lei Luo walked to the door of Bob's Bakery in the small town and stood behind the queue.

Raising his head, Lei Luo looked at the two-headed parrot in the cage at the door of the store.

"Hey, you idiot, you can't eat less, you know how to eat every day, it's because of you that I'm so fat, you can't eat less!"

The other head of the parrot, which was eating the bread crumbs, shot back: "Shut up, you nagging bastard, I'll peck you to death again."

Frightened by the eyes of the crumb-eating bird's head, the nagging bird's head shrank its neck. After turning its head, it found Lei Luo who was looking at him in a daze. A handsome parrot!"

A black line appeared on Lei Luo's forehead.

Fortunately, there were fewer and fewer people queuing up to buy bread, and we soon arrived at Lei Luo.

The owner of the bakery is a tall, fat man with beards on his cheeks. He looks down at the people who are buying bread in front of him. He is Bob, the bright gentleman in the town who snatched Lei Luo's missionary qualifications by donating gold coins this year. .

In the glass window, soft and sweet white bread was placed. Lei Luo's stomach growled uncontrollably, but he pointed to the pile of black bread beside him and said, "I want a kilogram of brown bread."

He casually took the twenty copper coins from Lei Luo and took out a piece of cold and hard black bread. Bob glanced past Lei Luo and glanced at the people behind.

Lei Luo picked up the black bread, hugged it tightly in his arms, hoping to make it softer through body temperature, curled up, and ran towards the house against the biting cold wind.

Squeak.

After closing the wooden door, Lei Luo took out the black bread in his arms and hung it on the wall, and added two pieces of firewood to the fire. The warm light made Lei Luo shiver twice.

Cough cough cough.

The father on the sickbed looked at Lei Luo, tried his best to pray, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, the God of Light, for sending my son back safely."

"Father."

With a strong smell of blood, Lei Luo looked at his father who was receiving the doctor's bloodletting treatment, looked at the doctor who was focused on the side, and asked with concern: "Doctor, how is my father?"

The doctor released the blood from the father's body through the needle tube and flowed it into the tub.

Tick, tick, the blood keeps flowing, it seems that only in this way can the dirt in the body be taken away, new blood can be ushered in through the belief in the future, and the disease can be overcome.

In this era, bloodletting therapy is the universal treatment method for all village and town doctors, and it is also the only treatment method for civilians in remote areas who cannot afford priests to perform the blessing of light.

The doctor wiped the bloody needle, and said calmly: "I have released the dirt in his body, the next thing is to see if his belief in the Lord is devout enough."

"Father will definitely recover!"

Lei Luo said firmly.

The doctor didn't say much, and left the cabin with the silver coins.

Lei Luo's father is a well-known hunter in the town, so he can spend silver coins for Lei Luo to teach to read and write, and try to obtain missionary qualifications.

Unfortunately, this autumn, my father was attacked by a monster. After returning, the wound did not heal for a long time. Even though he asked the doctor for bloodletting treatment several times, he still failed to heal the injury. Instead, his body became weaker and weaker. Many people in the town secretly said that he This is because the belief in the God of Light is not devout enough.

It was precisely because of this that Lei Luo begged the pastor to become a missionary to prove that his father was a devout believer in the God of Light.

"How about the result of the examination?"

The room was terribly oppressive, with only the crackling sound of the fire burning.

Facing his father's inquiry, Lei Luo did not respond, not daring to look at his father's disappointed eyes.

After busying himself, Lei Luo went back to his room, closed the door, and sat on the bed after silently pouring out his father's dirty blood in the wooden tub. I didn't become a priest myself, so my father got the mercy of the God of Light.

Stretching out his hands, Lei Luo looked at the traces of warmth and light gradually emerging from his palms, and his eyes were absent-minded.

The power of prayer is also called the power of light.

The God of Light is not an illusory legend. Every devout believer can feel its existence. Some priests can even summon part of its power to descend into the world, which is what people usually call the power of light and blessing.

The only way to summon this power is through devotion.

Constantly expand the number of believers, inspire confused people, and join the faith of light, and you will be able to gain more favor from the God of Light.

Human beings live in an area called the Land of Stars. There are many principalities in the territory. Besides the God of Light, there are also many local believers in God, but all of them belong to the God of Light.

In the vicinity of many human duchies, there are also some familiar alien races, such as elves, dwarves, dwarves, barbarians, etc., but most of them have been included in the rules of the human system, blending in with each other, and their beliefs do not conflict.

But at the other end of the vast melting pot desert, there is a terrifying area called the Land of Night, where a group of terrifying heretical creatures live. Humans know very little about it, only that it is that every pope will launch a crusade after he ascends the throne. evil place.

In addition, in the vast and boundless sea, some pirates spread word of mouth that in the depths of the boundless sea where terrifying giant sea creatures ravage, there is a vast continent ruled by other intelligent creatures, and some people even rumored to have seen a city floating in the sky. All were deemed nonsense.

It is true, however, that the depths of the ocean live with terrifying creatures beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Waking up from the trance, the light in Lei Luo's hands gradually dissipated, and he was a little tired and panting.

Mortals summoning divine power is a great burden on the body. Although the divine power that Lei Luo summoned has almost no combat ability, and can't cast blessings, it can only show the existence of the God of Light in front of some foolish people who have no beliefs, comfort the soul, use It's just for spreading the faith, but it still makes Lei Luo feel a little sleepy.

From this, it can be imagined that the successive popes have borne the burden of summoning the divine power of light.

Shaking his head to dispel his fatigue, Lei Luo took out the "Ceremony of Light" and recited it over and over again, constantly strengthening his belief.

"The Creator of the God of Light created the kingdom of heaven, and the human beings living in the kingdom of heaven opened the magic box of original sin due to desire, causing human beings to fall into the magic box and come to the star screen world. Only through the selfless dedication of light and the completion of self-salvation can they return to the kingdom of heaven..."

"Lei Luo!"

His father's call came from outside the door, and Lei Luo, who was reciting the "Lighting Ceremony", got up quickly and ran to his father's room.

"Cough cough cough cough."

The father sat upright against the bed and neatly arranged several things on the bed.

With the light of the fire, Lei Luo saw these things clearly, they were a book, a strange necklace, and a badge.

Lei Luo supported his father and complained, "You should rest more."

My father was a stubborn man. Although his body was already emaciated after several bloodletting treatments, and he was shaking even sitting on the bed, the stubbornness in his eyes was still alive, and he said in a low voice: "My own body, I know it myself, don't Might make it through the winter."

"No! The benevolent God of Light will definitely take pity on your pious belief. Even though you are misunderstood by many people in the town, the God of Light knows your piety!"

Laidlo has been doing his best to avoid the subject.

On the contrary, it was the father who looked at Lei Luo softly and lovingly like never before, as if he was looking at his lover who was dying seventeen years ago.

"Your mother is the most devout believer of light in this world, and also the most beautiful woman in this world. She dedicated everything to the God of light she believed in. At the last moment of dystocia, she chose to dedicate herself, sacrifice herself, and put her All love is left to you."

Lei Luo bowed his head and remained silent.

In seventeen years, Lei Luo has never had a birthday, because that day is the mother's memorial day.

"As for me... Hehe, the God of Light has mercy?"

Suddenly, his father's dignified and pious face turned into painful self-deprecating, tearful, and looked at Lei Luo full of guilt.

"How can the great God of Light take pity on a descendant of a wizard with the dirtiest blood in the world?"

wizard

Didn’t that kind of thing have long been crucified by the church and burned to death, and became a legend

Lei Luo looked at his father in disbelief. Is this the father who usually thanked the God of Light even when he came back? He actually said that he was a descendant of a wizard!

"You heard me right, Lei Luo, you and my ancestors were the sorcerers who spread the Black Death to the world, ravaged terror, and were finally nailed to the stake by the church one by one during the dark age!"

thump thump thump!

Lei Luo couldn't help backing away, constantly denying what his father said. He is a devout follower of the God of Light, so how could he be involved with wizards? It's impossible!

legend…

It was a dark age when death and terror shrouded the land. The wizards had powers that ordinary people could not resist. They collected the blood and eyes of children for evil experiments. They wantonly attacked all the clergy of the Church of Light. Over the years, they even released the Plague of Death. The terrible Black Death raged and brought mankind to the brink of extinction!

Cities are littered with dead bodies, and there are not a single village left.

Until later, as one wizard after another was crucified by the church, they cursed everyone, until the flames burned their bodies, and the wailing wailing lingered for a long time, human beings gradually survived and multiplied, and established One principality after another.

"This is impossible!"

Lei Luo's face was pale.

"Cough cough cough cough! I also questioned my father, and he only left one sentence."

Following his father's cough, his face flushed abnormally, and he struggled: "This will never be our home!"
