Chapter 27: There are only seven people in a basilica-level church

Views:

Now that I know that the black-haired warrior in front of me, who looks seriously injured but always gives people a sense of threat, is actually the heir to the lord of the land under his feet - although according to the current situation, the heir can be removed - this is easy to say. .

Quickly opening the door and letting the two people in, a guardian knight ran towards the back of the hall, seemingly to inform the higher-ups. After Joshua expressed his intention to come, the two priests immediately began to prepare for Joshua in the reception room. Xiu Ya performed preliminary wound treatment.

"Please temporarily relieve your left hand's instinctive resistance to the Holy Light."

A relatively young priest explained to Joshua, "You are a gold-level warrior. If you don't cooperate, our magic won't work."

"That's right." Since he was surrounded by a group of legendary priests in the past, Joshua really forgot that even friendly treatment would be weakened under the level of suppression. He simply lifted the instinctive rejection of external energy in the fighting spirit in his left hand. , said, "Let's get started."

Hearing this, the two priests nodded, and then cast magical spells at the same time.

"Mantra: Cleanse." "Mantra: Blood flow is suspended."

It was a normal process of sterilization and hemostasis, but it seemed that he was afraid that Joshua's gold-level body would be too resistant to divine spells. The priest who used the cleansing spell seemed to use too much force. Not only Joshua, but also even Firefly, the dust on the three guardian knights was swept away, and the entire reception room was spotless in an instant.

At this time, the protective knight who had left before had returned, and behind him was a high-level middle-aged silver priest. He had white hair, but he did not look old, with a straight nose and sharp eyes. It looks very reliable.

"Teacher Artanis."

"Teacher Artanis."

Seeing this, the two priests immediately bowed.

"Done? Not bad."

After taking a brief look at Joshua's bloody left hand, the middle-aged priest named Artanis clearly understood how his two students were doing. After encouraging them, he looked directly at The soldier in front of him shook his head and said, "Joshua, how did you get yourself into this state?"

"I also want to ask you, Uncle Artanis, why are there so few people in St. Laurent Cathedral? From the sound of it, it seems like there is no one else in the whole church except us?"

The two seemed to be acquaintances, but now was not the time for small talk. The pain shield caused by anger had completely failed, and the indescribable pain went straight from the shattered left hand to the brain. Joshua almost gritted his teeth and said this. A paragraph.

"You go to the quiet room with me first."

Artanis naturally knew how painful it would be to be injured like this. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked quickly towards the back of the prayer hall.

Joshua and the two priests immediately followed, and the four knights quickly followed after closing the door again. However, just when Yingying was about to go with them, they heard Joshua's order: "Yingying, you Just look around the hall.”

"… yes."

Although I don't know why, the word "confused" is clearly written on Yingying's beautiful little face, but I have given the order, so so be it.

In the quiet room, the black-haired warrior sat on a stone chair, his left hand placed in the center of a round crystal rune plate, while Priest Artanis held fine pliers in his hand, turning the bone fragments bit by bit from the mass of flesh and blood. Come out, there are two other priests, one looks very young, seems to be only in his early twenties, and the other is at least thirty-four or five years old. The younger one is using the magic "Shadowless Light" on the side, and the slightly older one is using the magic "Shadowless Light". While performing the 'pain relieving' technique, it also released a small amount of holy light to ensure that the condition of Joshua's left hand would not continue to worsen.

It is no different from modern surgery.

"Okay, the larger bone fragments have been returned to their places, and the smaller bone fragments have been cleaned. Now the official recovery begins."

After a while, Pastor Artanis took a long breath and wiped the cold sweat from his head: "You are old and have bad eyesight. I almost cut off your blood vessels."

The younger priest immediately complained: "Last year, I told you that I would buy you a pair of goblin glasses, teacher. You don't want them yourself."

"No nonsense."

After staring at his student, the white-haired middle-aged priest's expression turned serious: "Start."

After giving the order, a blazing white light suddenly rose from his hand, and then poured into the crystal disk. As the divine patterns on it were lit up one by one, a milky white light began to flash in its center. , under this radiance, Joshua's left hand that was originally blasted to pieces began to slowly recover, and then returned to its original state as if going back in time.

"Okay, that's almost it."

The middle-aged priest interrupted the energy output, and the milky white light gradually dissipated. Joshua couldn't wait to try and make a fist, and nodded with great satisfaction: "Except for feeling a little missing in the bones, it has indeed been completely healed."

"Assuming there are no accidents, as long as you ensure that you keep up with nourishment, and with your gold-level self-healing power, you will be able to completely return to your original state tomorrow."

Pastor Artanis stepped forward, took off the crystal disk, and said seriously: "But be careful, don't use your left hand with all your strength within two weeks, unless you want to come here again - next time it won't be free, if it weren't for you He’s an acquaintance, I’ll charge three thousand gold coins for this set.”

"No problem - but, Uncle Artanis, aren't you a priest of the Divine Punishment Society? Why is the healing light suddenly so powerful?"

Standing up, since his left hand has been cured, Joshua has no reason not to ask this question: "Is it possible that this can convert different types of holy light into each other?"

His eyes looked at the crystal disk held in the hands of the white-haired priest.

The former legendary warrior didn't remember that this kind of thing existed in the game. If it was so easy to use, there would be no need to have a few of each of Gray Knights, Paladins, and Judgment Knights when forming a group. You could just grab a handful of them. , how can it be so particular... But the church has so many good things, it is normal to hide things from players.

"That's right, the Divine Pattern Talisman made of spiral crystal can allow the Heavenly Blazing Holy Light, the Healing Holy Light, and the Judgment Holy Light to transform into each other. It was because of this that the Lord Bishop urgently led the team a month ago, with his unique skills. Most of the guardian knights and priests went to the Holy Mountain of the Far Sea, and as a result, the entire church now only has seven people in total, otherwise, it would not be the turn of the group of people outside to cause trouble."

Sighing, the white-haired priest who claimed to be middle-aged frowned and said solemnly: "Joshua, I am not blind or deaf. You were originally only an intermediate silver-level person but you advanced to gold level, and then something like this appeared outside. The big movement, coupled with this serious injury—have you already killed that group of people?”

"They're all dead." He spoke concisely. Now, Joshua really spoke in a serious tone to the white-haired middle-aged man in front of him, the old housekeeper's friend, Artanis, the Divine Punishment Priest of the Church of Justice: "Whether it's me or The uncle and the mastermind behind it are all dead."

"... Kang Bolie, Vic, you two go out first."

The two priests heard their teacher's order. Even though they were very curious about the next conversation, they walked decisively towards the door. The last one to leave closed the door smoothly.

Artanis turned his back to Joshua and said nothing.

Joshua was not surprised at all. The man in front of him was one of the reasons why he came to the church. Of course, the main purpose was to heal his wounds. Artanis was a good friend of the old butler. The two often drank together at the dwarf bar in the east of the city. At that time, Fan had not aged yet and looked very young. Some people always thought that this was a father taking his son, or a grandfather taking his grandson to drink. , passed around, the two friends who had the same love for gardening finally became friends over drinking. The white-haired pastor was so angry that he immediately asked everyone to call him "middle-aged man" and never stay in front of him. Say the word 'old'.

It is indeed a very interesting thing, if the old housekeeper is still there.

After a moment of silence, Artanis, who had his back to Joshua, suddenly laughed. He turned around and looked directly into Joshua's red pupils, which were as deep as black. He said happily: "I really didn't expect it to happen so quickly." , not even two days have passed since I received the commission.”

Shaking his head, he took out a very ordinary letter from his arms: "Yours."

Joshua took the letter and noticed the signature written in smooth cursive script.
