Working Prophet.

Chapter 138 Sin Eater
Since most of the treatments take a certain amount of time to take effect, the results of the first round of competitions were not released immediately.

But judging from the scene alone, the priestess undoubtedly has an overwhelming advantage.

In addition to her own gentle image is enough to add points, her treatment method is also more in line with the current understanding of medicine on the continent of Bratis.

A variety of herbs are paired with some mysterious items with unknown meanings. At the same time, it is best to say words in your mouth when grinding, and cast some powerful spells, which makes people feel more at ease.

In contrast, Li Yu's treatment seemed weird and simple, and the process was a bit disgusting.

He actually took the shepherd's excrement and put it on a strangely shaped evil weapon with a cold luster!

Then he put one of his own eyes together.

For a moment, the onlookers couldn't help but sweat for that silly shepherd, because Li Yu looked like he was going to cure him, and he was clearly planning to add some other curses to him.

Moreover, after the somewhat evil ritual, Li Yu's follow-up treatment seemed perfunctory.

The shepherd only swallowed two small discs that looked like little thumb caps. In short, it was indeed lagging behind Adele in terms of perception, and looked more like the ignorant and backward party.

For a while, there were more people who were optimistic about the priestess.

Soon, the second round of competition began.

This time, the patient Adele had to face was the little boy Li Yu had chosen first, and the latter came before the priestess accompanied by his mother.

Compared with the nervousness of the teenager, the expression on the peasant woman's face was obviously much more excited.

Especially after witnessing Adele personally rescue the gouty butcher, the peasant woman has no doubts that the priestess can cure her child.

However, when Adele asked about the boy's condition, the expression on her face became very serious.

After that, she repeatedly asked the peasant woman if she had done anything blasphemous when she was pregnant.

At first the peasant woman insisted that there was absolutely no such thing, but later maternal love overwhelmed the fear of punishment.

She confessed that when she was in her sixth month of pregnancy, she was washing clothes by the river and once met a group of heretics passing by.

The group of pagans asked her in detail about the location of the temple and the number of armed personnel inside.

Although she had doubts about the purpose of this group of people, but because the other party was carrying a weapon, she finally confessed everything she knew honestly. only one of her.

She originally wanted to throw away the rabbit, but in the end she couldn't hold back. She stewed rabbit meat that night and shared it with her husband.

As a result, about seven days later, she heard the news that the nearby temple was on fire. Although there were no casualties in the end, the temple was still destroyed in the fire.

After the peasant woman finished telling her story, she fell to her knees and begged the priestess to punish herself with tears, but not to blame her child.

The priestess eased her frown slightly, then reached out to help the peasant woman who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly.

"You misunderstood me. I'm not asking this to blame anyone. I just want to find out what's wrong with your child. It turned out that he became what he is now because you once ate those heretics in exchange for you. the sin-eat of sin."

The peasant woman was extremely remorseful when she heard this, "I would have thrown away that rabbit if I knew it earlier, no, no, it should be because I didn't tell those people where the temple is."

After hearing this, Adele comforted, "Those heathens are aiming at destroying the temple. If you don't tell them, they will ask others. This kind of thing is not a secret."

The peasant woman heard a glimmer of hope from her words, and said expectantly, "Then Priest Adele, are you willing to take the initiative to expel the filth from my son's body?"

The priestess nodded, "Of course, but the filth brought about by sin food is not so easy to expel because it contains your sins.

"How about this, I will expel him once first, and then you take your son to the temple every year to ask the priest there to expel the filth for him, and after about seven times, he will be completely healed."

The peasant woman was overjoyed at first when she heard the words, but soon her expression darkened again.

Adele caught the change in her eyes, and added with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll talk to that priest in person later, and you don't need to offer any sacrifices for the follow-up treatment."

The peasant woman was overjoyed and knelt down on the ground again, praising the goddess incessantly.

Other nearby onlookers also praised the priestess for her kindness and generosity.

Looking at the crowd cheering together, Ilea had a vague premonition that if her friend could really win this competition, her name might soon spread throughout the western region, and she would immediately become the seat of all noble families. honored guest.

Priest Tessa of Black Rock City practiced medicine all his life and saved an unknown number of people before accumulating his current prestige, but it was still not as good as what the younger generation gained in a day.

While Miss Rabbit was happy for her close friend, she didn't know if it was her own illusion. She felt that today's Adele looked calmer than ever. So far, her performance was impeccable, but the smile on her face was not as usual It looks so natural.With a little reluctance.

But if it wasn't someone who was very close to Adele, she probably wouldn't be able to feel the reluctance in her smile.

After all, her smile is so gentle and contagious.

After thinking about it, Yi Liya just felt that her friend might be a little nervous, who made her opponent Li Yu.

Miss Rabbit and Li Yu have known each other for so long, and they have never seen this guy lose to anyone. Even though everyone is optimistic about the priestess now, Ilea still thinks that the final winner will be Li Yu.

She has not wavered from the beginning to the end, she just hopes that Adele can perform well, as long as the final gap is not too big, even if she loses, Adele can win a lot of fame for herself.

This ending should be the win-win that Li Yu often talks about.

Just as Ilea was thinking, the priestess also began to prepare for her ceremony.

I saw that she took the owl's blood and the scales of the snake, and threw them into the copper basin in front of her, and then put some spices and the teeth of an unknown animal, chanted a spell, and lit a fire under the basin.

After repeatedly burning the contents of the copper basin until the smoke rose, she quickly threw a small ball of black objects into it.

He raised his head and said to the peasant woman, "Bring your child here and let him stand in front of this copper basin. I will start to expel the filth from his body. Before the ceremony is over, don't let him leave this copper basin."
