Benjamin shook his head.
The degree of brainwashing by the church is too deep. Even if he shows a helpful attitude towards the crowd, these people subconsciously think that the mage wants to harm them, which is really a bit troublesome.
Fortunately, these people's desire to heal their families seems to outweigh their stereotypes of mages.
"But...but I can't control that much anymore. If I really have to sacrifice my soul, then let me go to hell! I, I want to save my child..."
Not just the middle-aged women, but others also looked at Benjamin with a little expectation in their eyes.
"You...can you really cure everyone?"
Benjamin nodded.
Of course, there are still some die-hards in the village. Most of them were elderly people. They looked at Benjamin with wide eyes, then looked at the surrounding villagers, and suddenly showed angry expressions.
"Don't believe him! He... he is a mage! You are betraying the gods. No wonder God will bring such disasters to us. It is all you ungodly people... You will bring great disasters to us!"
"Damn mage, get out of our village!"
When Benjamin saw this, he suddenly waved his hand, and the strong wind whipped up by the water vapor blew by. The few fanatic believers who stood up to protest were knocked to the ground by him, and the protest stopped abruptly.
All the villagers were frightened by his hand and fell to the ground, trembling.
After glancing around indifferently, Benjamin slowly spoke:
"God has abandoned this continent a long time ago. Whether disaster or luck, it has nothing to do with God's will. The current church is just a group of deceivers. They promise to give you a stable life, but they are unable to solve even a plague."
As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head and pointed at the priest who was trapped in the water. His voice echoed loudly in the open space in front of the church: "You have also seen, why do you still need such a church and such a god?" Believe in them?”
Many people raised their heads and glanced at the priest tremblingly.
The priest's expression was one of despair. He couldn't break through the shackles of the blisters. He shouted for a long time, but he couldn't even get out his voice. He looked embarrassed and ridiculous at the moment. How could he be half as solemn as before
For a moment, the villagers looked at each other in silence.
Benjamin also continued to speak at this moment: "I am just an ordinary mage. I have never had any contact with the so-called demons since I learned magic. Magic is just a tool, not good or bad. Humans can use it to fight against monsters. , you can also use it to treat patients. As long as you use it in a good direction, magic will never bring any disaster."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and drew a string of characters at the patient outside.
"Elemental Command·Healing."
A flash of light flashed, and the water elements gathered spontaneously, converging on everyone's heads. Immediately afterwards, a drizzle of light rain fell from the sky and fell on the cheeks of each patient. A strange light suddenly shone on everyone's face.
Abundant vitality emanated from the rain, and even the vegetation on the roadside seemed to suddenly become fresh and tender when touched by raindrops.
Looking at such a strange scene, all the villagers held their breath, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in their tear-filled eyes.
The raindrops fell on the patients, and some even fell on the bodies of the villagers nearby. Then, all the rainwater is automatically absorbed by their bodies. The patient's complexion improved at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and the villagers who were not sick suddenly felt their fatigue disappear, feeling refreshed and comfortable as never before.
Suddenly, their faces showed excitement.
"It's really, really possible... magic can really cure them..."
And the old people who had the most serious resistance were looking at the miraculous rain with stunned expressions and their mouths wide open, but they couldn't say anything.
The rain lasted for about two minutes. After the rain stopped, the ground was dry and all the raindrops were absorbed. The sun fell on the patient's face again, and these unconscious patients suddenly opened their eyes one after another.
"Um...what's going on? It's so dazzling..."
"Where's mom... Where are we? I, I'm so hungry..."
All the patients regained consciousness one after another, sat up in a daze, and looked at everything around them in confusion, not knowing what was happening. And such a miraculous picture made the villagers nearby tremble with excitement and become speechless.
After a brief shock, they all ran over and hugged their families fiercely.
"Oh my god... I thought you would never wake up."
"I'm here! My child, you're fine, don't worry, your illness has been cured, you will be fine..."
If the open space outside the church was like a morgue just now, with only muffled sobs echoing faintly, then now, it is like a platform for the army to return home. The villagers are holding the cheeks of their family members, and tears are flowing from the corners of their mouths. slide.
When Benjamin saw this, he couldn't help but smile.
In fact, even if his deal with the Foer family was put aside, he still felt that this matter was very meaningful. Even though this is just a small and remote village, even though the permanent population here is only three digits...
He can be regarded as completely changing the lives of this group of people, right
The patient has been cured, and the old ideas about magic have also been changed. Benjamin turned around and waved his hand gently. The priest in the blisters was suddenly cut across the throat by an ice blade that emerged, and died silently.
The villagers were still focused on the patients who had just been cured and did not notice what was happening at the door of the church.
So, Benjamin turned around and left, taking the priest's body with him and disappearing into the sky.
It's time to go to the next village.
He would dispose of the corpse and leave a good impression on these villagers. And whatever happened just now, the villagers can report it as an ordinary mage attack, and the church will not realize that the village's faith has collapsed.
Besides... even if they knew about it, nothing would happen to the church.
A war on people's hearts has quietly begun. In this short month, Benjamin will change the Horli Kingdom's old ideas about mages bit by bit. And all the church can do is try its best to influence the people and consolidate their faith. As long as Benjamin convinces enough people that there are good people among mages, it will be impossible for the church to kill them all as heretics.
Of course, this will be a long tug of war.
Benjamin's current goals can only choose those remote villages. It may be difficult to hit such a perfect time for a plague outbreak again, but... as long as he keeps doing good things, his influence will spread bit by bit.
Of course, one month is not enough. They will come again after the problem of the mage in Ikol is solved.
And when the time comes, Benjamin won’t be the only one coming.
