The next day.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
The wooden door of Kangkai Church had already been opened.
Today is Monday, which is also the Sunday of the God of Contract. The residents of Lengye City came to the church without any prior arrangement, with pious smiles on their faces, and walked in from the outer courtyard in an orderly manner.
Men, women, young and old are looking forward to today's mass, hoping to listen up close as the new priest delivers the gospel of the God of Covenant to them, so as to protect them from injustice and betrayal.
A missionary in black stood at the entrance of the outer courtyard. Every time a believer entered, he would nod and smile and hand them a newly printed flyer.
"Good day, Miss Jennings. This is a new service provided by Kangkai Church for all residents. You can pass this gospel on to your relatives and friends in need..."
"Good day, Mr. Harrier, please do take a look."
"Good day, Mrs. Tatum..."
"Oh, the new bishop is actually willing to treat the 'Frost Disease' for the residents of Lengye City?!"
A slightly plump woman looked at the flyer with an excited and unbelievable expression. She turned around and shared the good news with another woman, and the people around her also showed surprise and joy.
"Is this true?"
"Of course it's real. There's even the seal of the Kangkai Church on the flyer."
"Praise the contract! Praise the bishop!"
The believers looked at the flyers in their hands and seemed to see the hope of salvation. Some of the believers' family members or friends happened to suffer from "frost disease", but most of them could not get a cure due to financial constraints.
Now, Kangkai Church has launched this new service, which is free of charge. This immediately made these residents excited and at the same time filled with great gratitude.
"Father Lishman, if we want to cure the 'Frost Disease', is there anything we can do?"
A middle-aged man in plain clothes held a flyer and spoke hesitantly.
The black-robed missionary standing at the door recognized the gentleman. He was a tailor who lived nearby. His old mother had contracted "frost disease" and was suffering from the pain and torment.
"Later, after the mass, you can bring old Mrs. Mueller to the right side of the church. Sister Maggie will diagnose and treat her."
Lishman answered truthfully.
"Don't worry, there will be no charge, Mr. Ganther."
After hearing this, the man's expression eased a little and he quickly smiled and thanked her.
At this time, several believers started to ask questions, and Lishman patiently answered them one by one. Then he looked at the faces of the believers in front of him, which were full of expectation and gratitude. Somehow, he felt happy as if he were feeling the same way, and at the same time, he felt extremely proud.
"Her Majesty Jack is truly a great and noble man... With her help, the parliament will surely be more prosperous and the residents here will live better."
The missionaries felt reverence in their hearts and became more willing to serve under him.
At this time, Mrs. Fay, who had stopped to chat with him yesterday, came to the church with her husband and two daughters. When she saw some neighbors and friends, she greeted them with a happy face.
"Hey, little Nari looks good today, I'm so happy."
The slightly plump woman noticed that the little girl's condition had improved and said in surprise.
"We need to thank the new bishop for all this. It was the 'holy water' she generously gave that cured the little guy's frost disease... I brought Roca to the service today because I wanted to thank Her Majesty in person."
Mrs. Fay said quickly.
Everyone surrounded little Naili, looking at her with joy and surprise, and exclaiming continuously.
"It seems that what Reverend Lishman said is true!"
The believers felt more at ease and walked into the church eagerly.
The priest in charge of presiding over the mass today was Akbin. He had already changed into a green priest's cloak. Holding the Bible "The Book of Justice" in one hand and a scale in the other, he was telling the believers about His Majesty Conrad's deeds and famous teachings at the bulletin board.
He told believers not to be afraid of the villains who betrayed the contract, but to muster up the courage to resist and pray to the God of Contract.
An hour and a half passed quickly.
After the sermon, Akbin led the crowd in singing a short hymn to express gratitude to the Lord for his gift.
"Praise the Contract!"
"Thank you, Father Akbin."
The believers stood up and saluted.
Soon, someone couldn't wait to walk to one side of the church, where there was a large table and a nun in a gray robe was sitting behind it.
She looked meticulously dressed, with her long, soft flaxen hair draped over her fair face. Her expression was calm, with a smile on the corners of her mouth.
It gives people a sense of holiness that they dare not cross.
"I am Sister Machidella of Kangai, and I wish to cure the evil diseases and save the believers of my God from misfortune..."
Maggie spoke softly.
A woman suffering from frostbite sat on the chair and looked at the young nun in front of her with trepidation.
"Please extend your hand."
Maggie smiled and said to the woman.
Seeing the friendly smile, the woman seemed to feel relieved and slowly stretched out her arm. After Maggie took it, she glanced at the dry and red skin, then pressed it lightly twice and made a judgment in her heart.
She calmly used her sequence ability to plant a small spore as small as a sesame seed on the woman's wrist.
Then, she asked the woman to open her mouth and stick out her tongue, observed the situation inside her mouth, and asked some questions. The whole process was careful and gentle, which made Golov, who was sitting next to her, quite uncomfortable.
Golov's eyes were fixed on Maggie's every move, and the always holy expression on her face always felt weird.
"Father Golov, please fill a vial of holy water for this lady."
Maggie turned her head and spoke to him politely with a smile in her eyes.
Golov was stunned at first, until he noticed a hint of threat in Maggie's eyes, then he came to his senses, quickly took out a tube, scooped some holy water from the golden cup in front of him, and handed it to the woman.
"Drink the holy water, and your disease will be cured... But if you don't want it to recur, please come to me for a checkup every Sunday."
Maggie instructed.
After the woman drank the holy water, she felt her physical discomfort relieved. She was pleasantly surprised and immediately stood up to bow and thank Maggie.
"Thank you, Sister Maggie. I will definitely follow your advice."
"I hope you have a good sleep tonight."
Maggie laughed.
There was already a long line of believers coming to treat frost disease. The next patient sat down at the table, greeted politely, and stretched out his arm.
Maggie showed no impatience and examined the patient's condition and asked about the symptoms gently, just like she did with the woman just now.
It was around two o'clock in the afternoon when the church was empty.
After Golov slowly closed the church door, he heard a burst of laughter behind him. Turning around, he saw the holy "Sister Kangkai" Maggie, dancing and enjoying herself.
“As long as the supernatural disease I planted adapts to the ‘Frost Disease’, it can evolve into the corresponding fever to offset it, but this fever will not harm the human body, achieving a perfect balance... If successful, then these patients will no longer get the ‘Frost Disease’. Hahahaha, I am such a genius!”
Golov walked forward tremblingly and heard Maggie mumbling something.
Maggie put her hands on her hips, turned around and looked at Golov, and said:
"Why, you're willing to sit with me for a whole day? Not going to play cards?"
"Miss Maggie, in your eyes, am I only good at playing cards?"
Golov smiled bitterly.
"Yeah... I can also pull a cart."
Maggie thought for a moment and said.
Golov's breathing stagnated, and he quickly explained:
"It was Mr. Jack who asked me to assist you in treating the believers."
"I know, I know. How about I arrange for you to sit next to me and flirt with me?"
Maggie rolled her eyes.
She deftly took off her nun's gray robe, revealing a vest and hot pants underneath, and waved her hand as she turned and left.
"You did a great job today. I just like your quick and efficient drive!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Maggie."
Golov smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He walked forward consciously, cleared the things on the table, and then left the church.

On top of a building in the city center of Lengye City.
There were two men and one woman sitting in the spacious and formal meeting room.
"On behalf of the Linbang Shelter and all the people, I salute you... Your Majesty Jackspeter, your arrival is a blessing for Linbang. From now on, you will need to take care of this area."
The middle-aged man with brown hair parted in the middle raised his glass to signal.
On her chest was a golden plaque the size of her index finger, engraved with the words "Linbang Asylum, Chief Judge Farrick".
"Thank you, Your Majesty Falric."
Chen Lun leaned back on the sofa, raised the cup of warm milk in his hand, and responded with a smile.
Lengye City, as the main city of Linbang, should have three churches co-located there. However, due to its special geographical location and long-standing good public security, there are only two churches here in addition to the local official shelter.
In addition to the Kangkai Council represented by Chen Lun, the other was the Madman School.
"In fact, Linbang is a relatively peaceful city district. Lengye City and the surrounding towns have not seen any major eucalyptus in decades..."
The woman sitting on the other side of the couch spoke up.
She looked only about thirty years old, with blond hair tied up in a bun, and wearing a retro sky-blue robe. This was the head of the Madman School in the main city of Limbang, the great scholar Sulaya.
"Although located on the border, the Kingdom of Byron is not as keen on stirring up trouble as the Kingdom of Beelzebub. They have been living in peace with the Empire for hundreds of years. Border trade is in full swing, and both sides exchange what they have... Byron's wool, leather, and minerals are in high demand here, while the Empire's canned food and industrial daily necessities are also quite popular there, especially the multi-functional folding knives."
Suraya said with a faint smile.
"As far as I know, there are more than a dozen companies that specialize in folding knives and have made a fortune by selling Byron as their main product."
"I have heard of this. When I was still in the Royal City, the headquarters of 'Church Company' and 'Jendley Folding Knife Group' were set up in the upper city of Tourmaline Closter."
Chen Lun agreed with a smile.
The three of them chatted about irrelevant topics for half an hour.
Chief Judge Farrick mentioned the local climate disease "Frost Disease" with a helpless tone.
"This disease is not difficult to cure. The shelter has asked the workshop to research the corresponding medicine, but the cost is too high and the people are not willing to accept it... Now only the two solutions of the Madman School are barely feasible."
Soraya glanced at her.
"My sect is not trying to make money. Medicines and candle treatments are all costs, but we do it out of convenience. We will help if we can. But most of the people who can afford it are the nobles, wealthy businessmen and other upper classes."
She shook her head calmly.
Chen Lun put down his cup and joined the conversation.
"Speaking of 'Frost Disease', there happens to be a doctor under my command who is interested in this. She takes the natural branch approach and may be able to help the local residents."
Falek became interested, chuckled and raised his glass.
"In that case, I would like to thank you again on behalf of the people of Lengye City, Your Majesty Jack."
"The God of Contract witnesses fairness, and it should be so."
Chen Lun smiled slightly in response.
