Goddess Wanhua Mirror

If this trend continues, their Four Seasons Goddess Sect will become precarious, not to mention preventing other sects from gaining a foothold in the local area.

Except for a few fanatical hardcore fans, most ordinary believers will choose to vote with their feet because of disappointment, and believe in gods who can give them more benefits.

End of this chapter

Because of the late arrival and the serious lack of information, Evan Ruth did not rush to attack Lude as soon as he came in. Instead, he greeted the Viscount first, and then pretended that he had something to visit today, and accidentally heard the news of the lord's house. Both the young master and the second lady were sick, so they came here to treat them.

However, the Viscount didn't appreciate Evan Ruth's overtures at all, and even when he looked at him, there was a flash of disgust in his eyes.

Because just over a month ago, this fat man was still persuading the Viscount to hold a super-large-scale sacrificial ceremony for the future of the territory and the health of 10,000+ citizens, using his children as sacrifices, praying for the goddess of the four seasons to descend trace.

The Viscount was really close to being persuaded by him at that time!

We must know that in feudal society, although the lord is the local emperor, he has the supreme power and at the same time has the noble duty that must be borne, that is, to protect and lead his subjects when disasters strike.

Viscount Maple's ability may not be so outstanding, he can't be regarded as a wise and powerful lord, but at least he is not the kind of stupid person who ignores the life and death of the people. He knows what his responsibility is.If the situation continues to deteriorate, he will really nod and agree, sacrificing his most beloved pair of sons and daughters to save the people.

Fortunately, Lude arrived in time and came up with a feasible protest plan.This made the viscount feel disgusted with Evan Ruth, who had been persuading him before, while being grateful to Lude.

"Don't worry about it, Bishop. Master Lude has already used the sacred object on my children yesterday, and it is no longer a serious problem."

"Oh! Since the sacred objects have been used, why has the young master and miss not fully recovered after a whole day? Is it true that the sacred objects of your religion have always been so slow to take effect?"

Evan Ruth's words are obviously nitpicking, but it is also an objective problem, that is, the sacred object mentioned by Lude does not take effect as quickly as ordinary magic arts, which can make people stay in place with a "duang" full HP resurrection.

Lude just smiled slightly at this. He had expected that this person would jump out and disgust him, so he asked Evan Ruth a question.

"Master Bishop, may I ask how many infected people have been cured by your teaching since the outbreak of the epidemic?"

"More than a thousand people! Is there any problem? Or do you think that you have saved more people, so I have no right to question you?"

"No, no, no! Questioning is everyone's right. What I want to ask you for advice is another question. How many of the thousands of patients cured by your teaching have relapsed after being cured? Do you Have you never thought about it?"

"This……"

It was easy to fight against the general, and Lude's question immediately pushed Evan Ruth back.The biggest drawback of the conventional magical treatment of the plague is that the cured person did not get the antibody after recovery because they did not rely on their own immunity to defeat the virus, and many people were infected again as soon as they turned their heads.

For Evan Ruth, this problem was not serious before, because the situation of each sect is the same, and patients get sick repeatedly, at least it is not a bad thing for religious people like them, which means that patients have to spend time and time again. The money came to him for treatment, and the leeks were harvested one crop after another.

In Evan Ruth's memory, there was an unlucky guy who came back five times, and he named Evan Ruth, who was the most expensive, and paid him hundreds of gold coins in total. He can be called a hero among leeks!

But the patients cured by Lude are different. So far, none of the thousands of healed patients who have left the isolation area in batches has relapsed. He is a "Saint Warrior" blessed by the gods, and will not be knocked down by the same disease for the second time.

And everything is afraid of comparison, the cost of conventional magic is expensive, the entire Oyster Harbor, let alone ordinary families, except for a few big families, even ordinary rich families, can't afford to be cured like this every two days. Once, everyone wanted to solve the problem once and for all.

"If it's just a conventional magic spell, I don't need to do it myself, my disciples can do it for me. After two tricks of the magic spell, they will immediately become full of vitality again, but after that? I am a priest, but at the same time As a doctor, I am responsible for the patients I treat!"

"Then, what guarantee do you use to ensure that these two children will be healthy forever?"

"My lord bishop, I am a human being and not a god. Of course I cannot guarantee that they will be healthy forever and will never get sick. But I can at least guarantee that this plague will not harm these two children in the slightest. And what can you guarantee? Is the second treatment half price?"

"you……"

Lude was a little speechless. Although Evan Ruth is usually a big fool who can talk nonsense without changing his face, lying also depends on the situation and the target. Right now the lord is in front of him. Lude On such an occasion, let him guarantee that he will be slapped in the face nine out of ten.

Knowing that too many words will be lost at such a time, Evan Ruth snorted coldly and did not say any more. He is now stepping slowly, step by step, the lord no longer trusts him, and his position has been replaced by Lude. If you keep entanglement, you will only bring yourself humiliation, and the lord's impression of himself will further decline.

This passive situation made Evan Ruth uncomfortable, and at the same time felt very strange, as if something was wrong.

Because Evan Ruth is still very clear about his own cognition, on the surface he is sanctimonious, but behind his back he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal!According to the standards of the world, he is a complete villain, a villain who has done all the bad things.

After all, the reality is not like a fairy tale book for children, the good guys can always defeat the bad guys in the end, but the facts have proved to Evan Ruth time and time again that it is those despicable and shameless little boys who can really be invincible. people.Because the so-called good people will always use the shackles called "morality" to bind their hands and feet. It is a ghost that such a fool can win!

So Evan Ruth has been living a very "real" life, and he has indeed been winning all the time, and his status has risen step by step. No matter the common people or the nobles, he has been playing around with dirty means.

The only few failures were all because of encountering villains who were more despicable and shameless than myself, and I was just not as skilled as others.

Until he met Lude...

On the way back from the lord's mansion, Evan Ruth was groaning in his mouth while touching Aria's delicate thigh.The existence of Lude is not only challenging his status, but also provoking his cognition, some common sense that he has firmly believed in for the past few decades.

"Damn! There is absolutely something wrong with this person!"

End of this chapter

From not paying attention at the beginning to now having to pay attention, Evan Ruth was surprised to find that his understanding of Lude and the God of Medicine was very limited.

In my impression, the first time I heard of this person's name was around the middle of last year, when several new medicines with outstanding effects appeared on the market in Oyster Harbor.

But at that time, Evan Ruth was only slightly interested in medicine, and didn't take this little-known sect seriously at all, so naturally he didn't bother to investigate their details.

As the largest sect in the world, the Goddess of the Four Seasons Sect has a sphere of influence spread across three continents. The relationship between the major dioceses may not be harmonious, but at least the most basic information exchange has never been interrupted, so it has been able to build a very large set of Giant intelligence network.

If Evan Ruth could have started to act earlier, mobilizing all the forces at hand when he heard the name of the God of Medicine for the first time last year, and doing his best to thoroughly investigate all the information about Lude and the God of Medicine, then Now he will definitely come to a conclusion that surprises him through the intelligence collected from all over the world.

In the isolation area, Lude, who had just returned from the lord's mansion, entered the door of his office, and saw a certain "Goddess of Pleasure" flipping through his research notes with great interest.

When the other party heard Lude coming back, he said without raising his head.

"Boy, although in principle, I promised that I would never interfere with any of your actions, but out of goodwill, I must remind you that it is best not to expose your details to those old gods too early."

"Don't you count?"

"I can only be regarded as a minority. Not all the old guys are willing to accept the newly rising juniors. They don't want challengers."

"But I don't want to be a challenger."

"Hehe, do you think those guys will believe it?"

"……All right!"

Lude shrugged his shoulders. He had previously exchanged with Kumilad about his experience in making gods, and he confirmed from the other party how unbelievable his actions in the past two and a half years are in the eyes of other ordinary gods!

Back then, in order to practice his own conjecture, Kumilad explored how to create gods without the source of fire. It took more than 300 years before he succeeded in making the "Thieves God Hume" born in the form he expected, and then experienced It took thousands of years for Hume to break through to the fourth level and become the middle god.

On the other hand, Lu De and the cheap master who once owned the original fire, Shanisi took a year and a half to be born, while Aina only took eight months, and then successfully broke through the first level in less than two years.

If this growth rate is exposed, it will definitely drive a large group of gods to go crazy with jealousy, and then unite to strangle them.

However, Kumilad also comforted Lude, telling him not to worry too much while being cautious, because other gods are not directly involved like her, so they will not be aware of the truth in a short time.

In the past thousands of years, many gods have been born in this world. Some of them have grown and grown, some have fallen, and some have gone underground, or led their believers to hide in some inaccessible secret places to live in seclusion.

No one knows how many gods have been born in this world. Even if it is rumored that the Holy Cult of Light has a "God Record" dedicated to recording the names and taboos of gods and demons, it is impossible to say that there are no omissions in it.

So as long as there is no one in the know, others may not be able to guess that the God of Medicine Sect is just a new sect that has been practiced for only two and a half years.

To be honest, Lude thinks that he is doing pretty well at this stage. At least in the northern part of the Duran Kingdom, he has established fairly good interests with many sects here, including the God of War Sect and the Holy Sect of Light. The relationship between them is the Lake God Sect and the Four Seasons Goddess Sect.

There is nothing to say about the former, the lake god Bo Rong is just a lower god of the third level, his younger brother who is known for his timidity and fear of getting into trouble, there is no basis for it.

The trouble is the Goddess Cult of the Four Seasons, but Kumilad told Lude that there should be no need to worry about the Goddess of the Four Seasons, Haraleiya, will end in person in a short time, because there are various signs that the other party is preparing to break through the ninth level, and her current The state should be similar to that of Aina two weeks ago.

In addition, unlike other gods, Haraleiya itself is a very special existence.Before the war of gods broke out, the goddesses of the four seasons used to be the goddesses of the four sisters, and Haraleiya was the third goddess of autumn. After the war of gods broke out, the four sisters fought and fought, and Haraleiya finally won, and the four gods united for one.

But from then on, Haraleiya rarely showed up.

About 100 years ago, Kumilad met Haraleiya once in front of the holy peak where the Lord of Light lived. The other party was wearing a veil, a dress that originally belonged to the goddess of spring, and a cloak of the goddess of winter. There was an aura all over his body that made Kumilad very uncomfortable.

Kumilad liked to talk to Lude about these "interesting stories" between the gods, and Lude didn't just listen to it for fun, he was able to filter out a lot of valuable information from it.

"Speaking of which, what are you going to do next? Judging from the current situation, the plague has been brought under control, and it's just a matter of time before the end. That Evan Ruth doesn't seem to be willing to talk to you How do you plan to deal with him in a peaceful coexistence?"

"To deal with him? Why would someone as elegant and easy-going as me be an enemy for no reason? Besides, this is Oyster Harbor, the fief of Viscount Maple. I'm a humble foreigner, how dare I mess around! "

"Okay! Then I don't know that you sent Hume out yesterday, that you asked her to disguise herself to meet certain people, and that you asked her to convey some instructions to the other party. We will wait and see the results! "

"you……"

"I am the audience, I have already agreed."

Kumilad smiled, got up and left Lude's office, and before leaving, he also took Lude's half-written script and a box of snacks, as if he was at his own home.

And after the other party left, another figure sneaked in from outside the door, it was Aina who had just broken through to the advanced stage not long ago, but the expression on the little goddess' face at this moment was obviously a little nervous.

"Master, how long is that strange blue-haired traveler going to stay with us? I don't like her a little bit!"

"What did she do to you?"

"That's not true, but I just feel that I don't feel comfortable here with her around."

Stretching out his hand and poking his elastic chest with his fingertips, Lu De stared straight at it for five seconds before realizing that Aina was referring to the heart, not the "front armor" blocking the front.

As for the reason why she felt uncomfortable, Lude actually knew that the main reason was the "level suppression" of her by Kumilad.Even if Kumilad took the initiative to hide his divine power, Aina would still be instinctively afraid.

End of this chapter

Above the vast ocean, the monsoon wind blowing from south to north.

At this time of year, Oyster Harbor is busy. There is an endless stream of sailboats from the south and across the sea. It is the frequent business exchanges that have created the prosperity of this city.

However, this year is different from the past. No one expected that a plague would suddenly hit Oyster Harbor. All the well-informed merchants diverted to other places, but there were still some ships willing to take risks to come here.

The three-masted sailing ship "Great Shark Carving" is one of them.

Like many sailing ships doing business in the North Sea, the Great Shark Eagle mainly runs the "triangular route" on weekdays, that is, the Oyster Port in the Kingdom of Duran, the Teck Port in the Canary Empire, and the outer sea Treasure Bay. .

Among the three major trade nodes, Oyster Port and Teck Port are both on the East Continent, while Treasure Bay is located in the Kraken Islands in the middle of the ocean, and is a key transit point connecting the three continents for ocean trade.The port is named Jinyinwan, which means that wealth gathers here.

However, in the business on the sea, some are serious and some are not. The Great Shark Diaohao belongs to the kind of existence that is constantly wandering on the edge of good and evil. As long as it is a profitable business, it doesn't matter whether it is serious or not.

A week ago, the Great Sand Sculpture was moored in Jinyinwan for a rest, and the captain Barry suddenly received an urgent letter from his old owner, giving him a long cargo list, asking him to be in Jinyinwan immediately. They are purchased locally, and then sent to Oyster Port as quickly as possible. The buyer is their regular customer-Bishop Evan Ruth.

When he first received the letter, Barry was hesitant at first, because the news about the outbreak of the plague in Oyster Harbor had reached Treasure Bay.These old seals who have lived at sea all year round are very aware of the horror of the plague, so in the past few months, everyone would rather go to other places than go near the Oyster Port.

But the owner told Barry in a letter that the plague in Oyster Harbor had been brought under control, because a magic medicine that could cure the plague had appeared there.

My boss is very interested in this kind of medicine, so I want to go to Dasha Diaohao to see if I can get some magic medicine while delivering the goods to Evan Ruth. It would be even better if I can get the formula of the medicine up.

As long as Barry can complete this matter for him, the boss promises to pull him "ashore", so that he won't have to go to sea for the rest of his life.

So after careful consideration, Barry gritted his teeth and chose to take the order.

The bishop ordered the goods, and Barry quickly completed the purchase in Jinyinwan according to the order.They are mainly rare and rare treasures, which are prepared for giving gifts to some important people at first glance.But in addition to these dead things, twelve "young birds" were named at the end of the manifest.

The so-called "little bird" is a slang word among maritime merchants, referring to the kind of juvenile slaves with good looks. Generally, there are two types of buyers, one is a high-end brothel club, bought back and raised from an early age, and the other This is simply a perversion, in order to satisfy the dark desire in my heart.

Barry was not surprised that the bishop wanted to buy baby birds. After all, the other party was their regular customer, and Barry's Shark Diaohao was responsible for delivering the goods for the bishop.It is not the first time to purchase the items on this list, and they can already be regarded as "repeat customers"!

However, the slave trade is a shady business after all. Regardless of the kingdom or the empire, even if the government repeatedly prohibits it, at least it is clearly written in black and white in the law that the slave trade is prohibited, and human trafficking is a felony here.

Therefore, when buying goods, Barry deliberately purchased a lot of general goods, trying to fill up his cabin as much as possible to cover the contraband in the bilge.

After the sailboat set off, the spring monsoon sailed at high speed all the way, and the journey went smoothly. There were no bad weather or sea monsters, and the pirates I encountered were also acquaintances.Because the shipowner behind the Great Shark Eagle also took some business in private to help pirates sell stolen goods, so as long as Barry showed his "token", the pirates would know that it was a partner's ship.

It only took six days for the Great Shark Eagle to successfully enter the sea off the kingdom. The sailors on the top of the mainmast were able to see the junction of the sea and the sky with their naked eyes, and the outline of the coastline emerged.Continuing at this speed, they reckoned they would reach Oyster Harbor before dark.

Seeing this, Barry told his men to cheer up and be careful of the underwater reefs they might encounter, and then turned around to the bottom cabin to check the status of those "key cargoes".

Thanks to the good sea conditions during this voyage, the [-] young birds are fine except for a little listlessness, and they look healthy.

These twelve children were bought by Barry from an acquainted slave trader in Treasure Island. It is said that they are not of mainland race, but aboriginals found on a certain island.

Barry still remembers the slave trader bragging to himself at the time, saying that his slave catcher ship had encountered a storm in the Western Ocean and was blown to an unfamiliar sea, only to discover a small inhabited island by accident.

The natives on the island are a tribe with a population of more than 1000. The folk customs are very simple. They warmly entertained these slave traders who came from afar, and provided them with clean fresh water and very delicious food.

As a "repayment", the slave traders brought out the added wine from the ship and gave it to the natives, and then captured them all and turned them into slaves.

These twelve children are "pretty guys" selected among the natives, and they are said to be the sons of the gods in the tribe. They all have beautiful eyebrows, and have pink and white delicate skin that is not at all like the island natives.The gods believed by the natives of these islands are said to be a Goddess of Kitchen Fire.

Barry held a cautious skeptical attitude towards the slave trader's rhetoric, because the other party often fabricated some deceptive nonsense in order to increase the price of their "goods".There are no less than ten "princesses" sold by him. If you don't know, you might think that you have destroyed other people's kingdoms!

When Barry came to the bottom cabin, he found that these children were unexpectedly quiet, not the kind of silence that was exhausted from crying, nor the depression after accepting their fate, but pure calm, as if they didn't care about what was happening to them at all. Situation and possible future tragic fate.

He held up the lantern and looked around. These children in the cage were all cross-legged, with one hand resting on their chest and the other covering their face. This strange posture was like a religious prayer ceremony, and it followed most of the faces. Looking in the direction, Barry noticed that one of the older girls was holding a wooden statue tightly, so he reached out and snatched the statue away without saying a word.

And his robbing also caused the children who were originally quiet to explode.

End of this chapter

In the evening, the Great Shark Eagle finally sailed into the harbor. Captain Barry stood at the bow of the ship with a gloomy expression on his face.He raised his right hand and looked at the bandage that was still oozing blood on the back of his hand, feeling a little bad.
