Release that Witch - Chapter 228

[Chapter 227 The Whistleblower]

In the magnificent church hall, Priest Fei Li was looking down at a farmer kneeling at his feet.

The other party’s originally burly figure is now hunched into a ball, his hands are shaking slightly, and his skin has an abnormal purple color, and within a long time, these color spots will condense into black spots, and eventually spread to the whole body until today. Infection is considered strong enough.

“I know you. I live in Shishan, Dongcheng District. I often bring some fresh grains of wheat to the church,” the priest said.

“You…remember me! That’s great, my lord priest,” he kowtowed repeatedly, “My family is infected with an evil disease. I, I need the holy spirit potion, please.”

“But this time you brought What happened? The holy medicine is not something that can be given at will,” Fei Li said unhurriedly, “It needs to be exchanged with a pious heart.”

“I, I was cheated by the mice to buy the medicine. It’s gone,” Shi Shan said tremblingly, “Please forgive my insincerity, I shouldn’t seek shortcuts from the black market. Now I only have, the last egg left, please accept it.” He took out an egg from his arms. A round egg, hands raised above the head.

“If you pin your hopes on the black market full of fraud and injustice, you will naturally be punished, but the gods will always lend a helping hand to the lamb who has lost his way. Only those who realize their mistakes will go farther and farther on the road of pilgrimage ” Fei Li took the egg and said with a smile, “Get up, God forgives you.”

“Really, really?” Shi Shan dared not answer.

“God’s messengers never lie.” Fei Li beckoned, and another believer immediately stepped forward holding a box of medicine.

He picked four bottles out of them and handed them over to the opponent.

“If I remember correctly, there are four people in your family, right?”

“Yes! My lord,” he swallowed, held the holy potion in his hands, and bent down to kiss the priest’s shoes, “Thank you, thank you! I will definitely dedicate my life to the church and to the true God in the future!”

The believers who were watching were also moved by this scene, and they all cheered, happy that a devout member had been added to the church family.

When the cheers subsided, Fei Li lowered his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and then said loudly: “Next.”

…

This kind of medicine ritual continued until dusk.

As the clock rang on the hour of the king’s city, Priest Fei Li announced the end of today’s ceremony and the continuation tomorrow morning, and left the hall amidst the crowd’s persuasion and begging.

Although his body was a little tired, he was still full of energy. Standing in the hall, he listened to everyone’s entreaties and prayers. Seeing how impatient they were to please him, he couldn’t help feeling that he was a god.

No, it is the church itself that is like a god. Fei Li thought, after prescribing the plague and medicine, he can easily control the life and death of others. What is the difference between this kind of power and the true god.

He couldn’t help feeling that the most correct choice he made in his life was to give up inheriting the family business and devote himself to the church instead.

In the face of such power, no one can stop it.

A wealthy businessman?

High and powerful nobles?

In the face of death, they would be willing to abandon everything in exchange for the chance to live.

Back in the rest area of the back hall, a priest hurried forward and whispered in his ear: “My lord, a mouse has reported the situation.”

“About what?”

“East border escapees, specifically He won’t tell you the news until he sees you.” The priest replied.

According to the church’s previous instructions, Fei Li should make full use of the evil plague and antidote to convert as many believers as possible for Hermes. Therefore, attracting fugitives is also part of his plan, but compared to the citizens of the capital, it is more important. Sex is not that high.

He originally planned to spend another two or three days until half of these homeless wanderers died of illness before going out of the city for treatment, and at the same time let them fill the vacancies in the capital.

In this way, 90% of the population of such a huge royal city will become believers in the church. This kind of achievement, together with the previous order to fight for the king, is probably enough for him to go one step further and set foot on the position of bishop.

At least in terms of rewards for meritorious deeds, the church is very fair, never considering the bloodlines and identities of meritorious persons, as long as they perform well, they can be promoted.

Could it be that something went wrong among the fugitives?

He suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said calmly, “Take him to the secret meeting room, I’ll be there later.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Fei Li took off the priest’s robe, and took out a soft armor from the closet After changing into a loose coat, and tidying up in front of the silver mirror, he walked towards the secret meeting room.

In the small room in the basement, the priest saw that the “informer” had a disheveled head, a scorched face, and thin arms where the shape of bones could be seen at a glance.

Strangely, however, no symptoms of dark spots were seen on him.

“My lord, my name is Needle Eye,” the other party knelt down as soon as he saw the priest, “I have important information to tell you.”

“You tell me.”

“But…” He raised his head and looked around the secret room. The other two were hesitant to speak.

“It’s okay, this is Priest Shattrath, my right-hand man,” Fei Li said, “The other is Granny Brown Tooth, who is in charge of taking care of this secret room, and almost never leaves here.”

“Then I will say Yes, but what you promised”

“The potion is here,” he impatiently took out the blue vial and shook it, “as long as your information is valuable, I will naturally cure your evil plague.”

“My lord, I Guarantee that this information is absolutely astonishing,” Eye of the Needle raised his head and said, “Someone is continuously transporting fugitives, and there are empty boats everywhere on the canal. They

took all the people away.”

“Take away those black-spotted patients?” Fei Li frowned, “Did you read that right?”

He had also received news of a fleet receiving refugees from the Eastern Territory before, but this was not true. It is normal for nobles from all over the world to take advantage of natural disasters or riots in other territories to search for a batch of labor at a very low price.

Anyway, when the plague strikes, those idiots will naturally be punished by the gods.

But now…how could someone take in refugees knowing that the plague was rampant?

“No, they have a cure for the evil disease! After those mercenaries gave the patient a bag of strange water, the black spots disappeared quickly. Some people also claimed that they came from the western region, as long as the fugitives followed the fleet , will receive food, shelter, and rewards.” Needle Eye paused, “The most incredible thing is that there are witches among this group of people!”

“What did you say?”

“It’s absolutely true, my lord!” The fugitives got on the boat and didn’t notice it at first. It wasn’t until someone jumped out of the boat and the mercenaries on the shore chased after him after a while. I didn’t realize that the black shadow hovering in the sky was not a bird, but a flying Witch. I was too frightened to move. I didn’t find a chance to jump into the water and escape until the sailboat sailed for several miles and I couldn’t see the witch anymore. It took almost a day to come back.” Needle Eye rubbed his hands, “My lord , do you think this information is worth exchanging for a bottle of holy medicine?”

“Wait, you said they have a way to cure evil diseases, and you also drank the potion, which means you are not sick now?” Fei Li asked .

“Uh… That’s true, but you said that, as long as you get valuable information, you can.” Needle Eye grinned awkwardly, showing his jagged yellow teeth.

So it turned out that he wanted to take this bottle of unused Holy Spirit Potion and sell it on the black market, UU Reading www.

“That’s true. They don’t have armor or horses. Their weapons are wooden spears. The number…” Needle Eye scratched his head, “No more than a hundred people!”

“Where are the boats? Which one do they belong to?”

“I don’t know, most of the boats don’t have flags, and even if they did, I wouldn’t recognize them. “

Come out. Anyway, the mercenary himself said that the fleet will sail to the west. Ah… By the way, he also mentioned that this is the recruitment of the lord of Border Town.” He racked his brains and recalled, “It seems to be for land reclamation, the lord needs Containing a lot of people. That’s all I can remember.”

“Well, it is indeed a very important information sacrifice,” the priest took a deep breath after hearing this, took out the bottle of blue potion from his pocket, and threw it towards the eye of the needle, “Take it, it’s yours now. “

Thank you, sir!” The latter caught the bottle in a hurry, and suddenly trembled all over, and his eyes widened.

I saw a slender dagger protruding from his neck, the tip of the sword gave off a faint cold light, and standing behind him was the old and aging manager of the secret room.
