Goddess Wanhua Mirror

However, being strong and not prone to diseases does not mean that they are immune to all poisons. Certain cults have specially produced potions that can kill priests with poison.

And the one who is so immortal, Evan Ruth has it in his hand!Once this stuff is exposed, his life as a bishop will come to an end.

Because he was worried that Lude, who was so weak, would fall while standing and talking, Evan Ruth took the initiative to ask him to sit down at the table, and specially ordered someone to bring a luxurious soft chair, and arranged two nuns on the left and one on the right, I'm afraid that he will have something good or bad, and serve him like a grandfather.

"Thank you for your hospitality...cough...cough...the old man really wants to...cough...I'm flattered...cough..."

He spoke intermittently, and coughed several times in a row, which made the corners of Evan Ruth's eyes twitch, and then motioned to the nun next to him to pour tea for Lud.

If the scene were changed at this moment, and Evan Ruth saw Lude's current fragile appearance, the corners of his mouth would be raised unconsciously because An couldn't bear the joy in his heart, but at this moment, he was not happy at all. When I got up, I only felt that my heart was jumping.

"This... Priest, ah no! Master Lude, why are you looking for me all of a sudden? Don't worry about it, but it's okay!"

"It's like this. You should also know that the city has just completed the census, and all the patients have been screened out, but the number is nearly [-]. The current space on East Street is not enough, so I want to move the area near the north The empty space was also transformed into an isolation hospital, but after asking, I found out that it was the property of your church. So I came here to ask His Excellency Bishop Evan Russ to take this area for the sake of many believers of your church among the patients. The land is temporarily borrowed from the Health Bureau for use, what do you think... ahem..."

"This……"

Hearing that Lude came to borrow land from himself, Evan Ruth first thought of refusing.What a joke, the land he got from the lord has been in his hands for almost three years, and the price of the land has more than five times that of when he bought it, so he had to sell it when he was about to leave office.

If this is lent to Lude to build an isolation hospital for those patients to live in, the price will definitely drop immediately, and the loss will be all in his pocket.

Seeing his hesitation, Lu De said abruptly.

"Master Bishop, actually I know it's not you..."

"Priest Lude, you, what did you just say?"

"I said, I know it's not you."

After deliberately speaking every word, the two sides looked at each other silently for five seconds, and Evan Ruth's expression suddenly became a little subtle.

"Why do you say that? Is there any evidence?"

"There is no evidence, but because there is no evidence, many people immediately suspected the bishop, but the judgment of these people can only be said to be on the first level. I don't think you did it, and it is precisely because there is no evidence. evidence."

"Then why are you telling me this? Our relationship shouldn't be considered friendly?"

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you and I are friendly or not, but I need that land to build a ward to accommodate thousands of patients, and your Excellency needs to make those gossip disappear, so why don't everyone get what they need? I need that A piece of land, even the priests of your religion, it is best to add some urgently needed supplies in the quarantine area, this will let the people in this city see your fraternity and kindness, Bishop, and the believers will thank you! "

End of this chapter

Perhaps it was a rare discovery of conscience, or maybe he was afraid that if he really refused to agree, Luther lay down on the ground on the spot. Evan Ruth finally made a compromise and wrote a written document to transfer the East Street The vacant land to the north will be lent to the Health Bureau for free until the end of the epidemic.

When the other party went out satisfied, Evan Ruth, who was severely slaughtered, breathed a sigh of relief like a heavy burden.

"Damn, this old man looks like a gentleman, how can he be so proficient in playing a rogue?"

On the other side, Lude returned to the isolation area with the agreement document from the Goddess of the Four Seasons, and the dwarf construction team that had already prepared it immediately started construction, trying to build [-] tents within two days to be used as isolation wards for mildly ill patients.

After Lude arranged everything, he went around the intensive care unit before returning to his own residence. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Aina lying on the bed, looking soft and glowing.

Aina's current state started early this morning. The divine power in her body has already become saturated, and the excess can only be kept by Lude first, and then transmitted after she breaks through.

However, the problem now is that Lude only knows that Aina needs to break through, but he doesn't know how to help her break through.Among the gods I know, Hume is the one who has experienced it, but this fellow has been away on business for more than half a year, and he disappeared like a runaway husky, so there is no hope at all.

In desperation, as Aina began to glow uncontrollably, Lu De could only ask her to take sick leave first and hide in her room, so as not to be found out and difficult to explain.

As soon as Lude came back, Aina, who heard the sound of the door opening, just raised her head and glanced slightly. Seeing that it was Lude who came in, she turned over in peace of mind, hugged the pillow and continued to sleep, lazily like a stuffed animal big cat.

Lude stepped forward, patted her on the shoulder and asked.

"Hey, don't sleep yet, how do you feel now?"

"It's still the same... not uncomfortable... just... just sleepy and don't want to move..."

"Then you sit up first, and the teacher will help you check your body."

Under Lude's urging, Aina, who was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, sat up reluctantly. Lude stretched out his hand to hold her celestial cap, and under the control of his consciousness, the original fire stretched out many tentacles , got into Aina's body and wandered around.

Through these tentacles, Lude could clearly "see" that the divine power in Aina's body was as viscous as yogurt.He had tried to "ignite" Aina's body on his own initiative like he did when he activated his consciousness before, hoping to help her break through, but it seemed that because of the wrong posture, there was no response for a long time.

After stirring with the "tentacle" for a long time, Aina's condition was no different from yesterday. As soon as she moved her hand away, Aina fell down on the bed and fell asleep for a second.

Seeing this, Lude shook his head helplessly. He could only take off his coat first, and went to sleep on the other side of the bed. The fatigue from a busy day made Lude fall asleep quickly. .

Lude slept in such a daze that he didn't know how long he had slept. He faintly felt a light flickering in front of his eyes. He instinctively thought that it was dawn outside the window, but when he opened his eyes and saw it, he was suddenly shocked.

Aina hugged the pillow and was still sound asleep, but her body floated in mid-air as if weightless, and just flew over Lude's head.

Lude was taken aback by this, and he thought that thanks to the closed doors and windows of the room, otherwise this silly girl would just float out in a daze, and it's not important for anyone to see, it would be a lot of fun to float on the sea with the wind.

In desperation, Lu De could only get up cautiously, stood aside and observed for a while, and confirmed that Aina was indeed unconscious, then gently pushed her back to his side of the bed, trying to use the quilt to press her back down again. on the bed.

But Aina's state was like a hydrogen balloon. No matter how hard Lude tried, she couldn't press it down. The buoyancy was so strong that she could lift him up to the sky together, and there was no response when she tried to wake her up.

In the end, there was really no other way. Lu De could only find a thin hemp rope and tie it around Aina's wrist.It turned out to look even more like a balloon than before!

"Damn it! What should I do?"

Scratching his head in distress, Lude saw through the gap in the wooden window that it was already bright outside. If nothing else, Romi Ann, who has a good schedule, should have woken up by now, and I'm afraid she will come over in a while Wake yourself up.

If Long Niang saw that her senior sister had turned into a glowing beautiful girl balloon, she would have to spend a lot of time explaining.And it seemed to confirm the old saying, "whatever you are afraid of", the door was knocked on time and Romi'an's voice came.

"Master, are you awake? I brought you breakfast."

"Master, I've woken up. Leave breakfast at the door... No, wait! Romi Ann, come in."

After thinking about it for a while, Lude felt that he couldn't just hide it. At least on Romi'an's side, Lude already regarded her as one of his own, and he had already prepared to let her gradually integrate into a part of the core, and now was just an opportunity.

So Lu De stopped Long Niang who was about to leave, and opened the door to let her into the house.As soon as Luo Mi'an came in, she saw the senior sister floating in the air, and she was stunned.

"Master! Sister, this is..."

"Calm down first, Romi Ann, and listen carefully to my teacher's detailed explanation. Your senior sister is now in a special period that is very important to her, and she may need your and my help in the future."

In front of Romi Ann, Lude told her a secret "secret" earnestly——her senior sister Aina, although she looks silly on weekdays, is actually not an ordinary human being, but The "Son of God" with the blood of the gods.

Rudd claims to have picked up baby Aina in a terrible snowstorm 16 years ago.An ordinary baby might have died in the cold winter, but Aina was protected by a holy force and did not freeze to death in the heavy snow.

Lude was sure at first glance that this child was the legendary "Son of God". She had the blood of a god in her body, and happened to be of the same clan as Lude, and both belonged to Evelina, the God of Medicine.

Lude believed that it was the benevolent goddess who took pity on the child and could not bear her to freeze to death in the wilderness, so she bestowed her own blood and guided Lude to meet her in the snowy mountains.

After that, Lu De adopted Aina, took her by his side and carefully raised her, and now she has grown into such a graceful figure.

Although she was being careless and foolish on weekdays, Lude always knew in her heart that there was a powerful force in her body, which was a gift from the goddess, and she would awaken one day!

End of this chapter

Lude's remarks were mostly made up by him. He didn't tell Romean directly that Aina was actually Evelina, the God of Medicine, but borrowed the term "Son of God" to express Explaining Aina's current state would make it easier to be accepted by the other party.

However, although it is a made-up rhetoric, the "Son of God" does exist, and it is not a secret in the religious world.

Many gods can "donate blood" to allow an ordinary mortal to have their own blood, and some male gods even go to battle in person, and have a negative distance contact with mortal women.

These sons of gods can be said to be natural priests. The same blood makes them have an excellent compatibility with the same source of divine power. The magical powers they use are more powerful, and the burden on themselves is less.

What's interesting is that the Son of God is not the same as the Chosen One. The Son of God can be the Chosen One, but the Chosen One is not necessarily the Chosen One.

Lude believes that Aina should be an abandoned human baby who received blood donation, but because she received blood donation from the gods when she was a baby, this child showed many amazing things in the process of growing up, the most prominent feature of which was It is the appearance, which looks more and more like a goddess.

After listening to Lu De's explanation, Romi'an was deeply shocked at this time. The Son of God is still secondary. The main reason is that she did not expect that the senior sister who usually looks like an optimist has such a tragic life experience, and she is still in her infancy. He was cruelly abandoned by his parents in the wilderness.

In contrast, Romi Ann's childhood was at least considered happy before the sudden change. She was loved by a gentle mother. Although her biological father rarely showed up, she always entrusted her friend Bourne to deliver letters and living expenses to their mother and daughter. .

Thinking of this, Luo Mi'an secretly made up her mind that when she wakes up, she must treat her better.

"Master, what can we do for Senior Sister now?"

"It's good to wait and see for the time being. Only you and my teacher and apprentice know about this matter. The main reason is that she is in this state and cannot be discovered by outsiders. The status of the Son of God is special. I am worried that someone will play tricks on her."

"I understand, master, I will definitely protect my senior sister."

"Well! I'll leave this to you. Your master is too old to protect your senior sister for the rest of her life. Although you started later than your two senior sisters, Luo Mi'an, you are very talented and have a more mature and strong heart, so For you, I am very relieved. In case I am not here one day, promise me to take care of these two worry-free silly girls. Cough..."

Seeing Lu De's serious face as if he was making a will, Romi was a little nervous and uneasy.After her family was in trouble, it was Lude who gave the lonely Romi a new home, cared for her, and didn't even care about her identity as a mixed-race demihuman, allowing her to join the God of Medicine Sect, and now she has become a An honorable trainee priest.

So unconsciously, Romi Ann alluded to Lu De's feelings towards her father.Now Lude said that he was going to die, which made Romean feel very scared, afraid of losing his loved ones again.

"Master, don't say that, I, I don't want you to leave..."

"Silly boy, birth, old age, sickness and death are unavoidable for us mortals. As long as there are no regrets in life, death is not something to be feared."

Smiling and stroking Long Niang's head, Lu De gave her a few more instructions, and then he finished his breakfast and left the room to start a new day's work.

Under Lude's command and arrangement, the work in the isolation area was in good order, and the patients were properly taken care of. In addition, there were priests who kept an eye on the critically ill patients for the bottom line, and the death rate was directly suppressed to the lowest level. Hundreds of patients are recovering in batches every day.

And all of this will be counted into data and announced on the bulletin board every morning, boosting the morale and confidence of the people in the city.

"This is simply a miracle!"

In the isolation area, the priests of various religions who joined the Health Bureau saw all this in their eyes. Before that, they never thought that mortals can really save themselves without relying on gods. The powerful magic is only used as the last insurance and exist.

Some people are rejoicing, because by participating in this vigorous anti-epidemic operation, they have learned a lot of useful skills from Lu De, which can be used by themselves in the future.

Others are worried, because if ordinary people can save themselves, their dependence on gods and religion will be reduced, which is a bad sign enough to shake their own foundations.

But no matter what everyone thinks, at least when Lude is mentioned, they will give a thumbs up unanimously, praising him as a capable priest with the appearance of a saint.

However, what worries many people is that this saint may be overworked. These days, his physical condition is visibly deteriorating. It is often seen that he coughs continuously, and sometimes he suddenly loses his footing and wobbles. It looked like he might fall into a faint at any moment.

Many patients thought that Master Luther had been infected at first, but later discovered that he was actually tired. With such a high-intensity work every day, let alone an old man who was nearly seventy years old, he was in his prime. Even the prime of life can't stand it.

The people are ignorant, but the people are not without a heart of gratitude. Everything that Lude has done for them is obvious to all.So many patients chose to convert to the God of Medicine religion to which Lude belonged, and prayed devoutly to the goddess for Lude every day.

Time flies, three weeks have passed.

Half of the time limit for issuing a military order with the lord has passed, and the cumulative number of infected people in the entire Viscounty territory has also exceeded the 3 mark.

But what is encouraging to the public is that the number of new patients per day has dropped to less than 20, and is about to fall below single digits.In the isolation area, after two weeks of observation, the first batch of recovered people were finally approved and could be released.

And thanks to the tireless health promotion of the Health Bureau in the past month, people have learned that this group of self-healers defeated the plague by themselves without relying entirely on divine magic, so they obtained the protection against the plague. This kind of demon resistance, this layer of BUFF is estimated to last for a long time, so that they will not get this disease again.

Ever since, the original prejudice and discrimination disappeared, replaced by respect.After all, the title of "Defeating Demons" sounds very prestigious. When the self-healers leave the quarantine area, not only will they not be excluded, they will even be more popular than before.

Out of a sense of ritual, on the day this batch of [-] self-healers were about to leave the quarantine area, Lu De specially arranged a send-off ceremony. The atmosphere was like a graduation ceremony, and the self-healers lined up In the applause of the surrounding medical staff, one by one came to Lude to receive the certificate of recovery, and then walked out of the gate with their heads held high, embracing the relatives and friends who came to welcome them.

Looking at this warm and encouraging scene, Lu De couldn't help but look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.The people next to him thought that he was emotional because he was moved, but in fact Lude was observing the torrent of faith in the sky like a river of stars.

During these days when Aina fell into a deep sleep, most of these beliefs were collected by Lude because Aina couldn't eat anymore, and now the flow has finally resumed, which shows that the girl is finally waking up!

End of this chapter

Counting the days, it has been 22 days since Aina fell into a deep sleep, and she has been floating like a balloon for 22 days.The light emitted from his body became stronger and stronger, so that Lu De had to wear a thick cloth blindfold that was completely opaque in the room to barely be able to sleep.

So noticing that the flow of faith had resumed again, Lude deduced that Aina should have completed a breakthrough, and she might have woken up at this moment.

So after the discharge ceremony was over, Lu De excused himself to be ill and wanted to go back to his room for a rest. He winked at Romi Ann, then quickly left the scene and went straight back to his room.

Before Lude wrote a letter and consulted with Fallen Leaves who stayed behind in Pine Town, the first breakthrough of most gods was very easy. Basically, when the faith was collected to a certain level, it would be a matter of course. It is normal for her to fall into dormancy. Breakthrough will wake up.

So when Lude came back to see, Aina had indeed woken up, but she looked a little bit lost... Oops!

Because Aina had been floating around the room unconsciously during her deep sleep, and the light emitted by her body was getting stronger and stronger.Lude and Romi Ann could only try to fix her to the bed with ropes, wrapped a lot of hemp rope from head to heel like a pig, and covered the body except the head with a quilt.

As a result, when Aina woke up, she found herself tied up on the bed and unable to move.

When Lude came back, Aina should have been struggling for a while, but more than a dozen hemp ropes bound her tightly in all directions, so after struggling for a long time, not only could she not break free, but because the ropes moved and misplaced, the Certain body parts are strapped tighter than before.

Fortunately, Lude came back in time, and Aina didn't yell to attract others, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain this matter clearly!

With Lude's help, Aina was freed from the bondage. After getting up, she moved her wrist while complaining to Lude.

"Master, why did you tie me up?"

"Do you know how long I have been sleeping? For 22 days, and I have been flying around unconsciously! I tied you up because I was afraid that you would go to heaven. Besides, even if I don't come, you can't do it yourself with magic spells." Untie it?"

"Ah yes! How did I forget that I am a goddess?"

Lude: "..."

obviously!The improvement brought about by the breakthrough in the ranks has not been able to make up for Aina's congenital shortcomings in IQ.However, if you just look at the appearance, the growth is indeed very remarkable. It feels like you have changed from a junior high school student to a female college student. The pretty face is still pure and pure, adding a bit of the charm of a mature woman, and the hair has become longer. , I have grown taller, and even my chest has become bigger!The nun's dress that was still a good fit was stretched a little tight.

In addition, the increase in rank has also increased Aina's "capacity" by an order of magnitude.

From waking up to now, Aina has been crazily absorbing the power of faith generated around her. Even when Lude injected all the faith that had been escrowed for nearly a month into the other party, she only got "That's it? Not satisfied at all." "Such a subtle and uncomfortable evaluation.
