Working Prophet

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 of unknown meaning. It is best to chant words while 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 moved one of his eyes up.

For a moment, the onlookers couldn't help but sweat for the somewhat foolish shepherd, because Li Yu looked like he was trying to cure him, and he was clearly planning to add some other curse to him.

Moreover, after completing that somewhat evil ritual, Li Yu's subsequent treatment seemed very perfunctory.

The shepherd was only allowed to take two small discs that looked like little finger caps. In short, she was indeed lagging behind Adele in terms of appearance. On the contrary, she looked more like an ignorant and backward party.

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

Soon, the second round of competition began.

The patient Adele had to face this time was the little boy Li Yu first selected, who came to the priestess accompanied by his mother.

Compared to the boy's anxiety, the look on the peasant woman's face was obviously much more excited.

Especially after witnessing Adele personally saving the butcher suffering from gout, the peasant woman was convinced that the priestess could cure her child.

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

Then she repeatedly asked the peasant woman whether she had done anything blasphemous when she was pregnant.

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

She admitted that when she was in her sixth month of pregnancy, she was doing laundry by the river and encountered a group of passing pagans.

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

Although she became suspicious of the group's purpose, because the other party was carrying weapons, she finally confessed everything she knew honestly. The group was very satisfied with her cooperation and even divided the rabbits they shot on the road. Got her one.

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

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

After telling her story, the peasant woman fell to her knees and begged the priestess in tears to punish herself, but not to take her anger out on her children.

The priestess's frown relaxed slightly, then she reached out to help the peasant woman kneeling on the ground and said softly.

"You misunderstood. I'm not asking this to blame anyone. I just want to find out what disease your child has. It turns out that he became like this because you once ate those pagans who used them in exchange for food. the sinful food of sin.”

After hearing this, the peasant woman immediately felt extremely regretful, "If I had known better, I would have thrown away that rabbit. No, that's not right. I should have not told 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. It's not a secret."

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

The priestess nodded, "Of course, but the filth caused by sinful 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 happy at first when she heard this, but soon her expression turned gloomy 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.

Other nearby onlookers 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. Guest of honor.

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 hint of reluctance.

However, if you are not very close to Adele, you probably won't be able to feel the reluctance in her smile.

After all, her smile is so gentle and contagious.

After thinking about it, Ilea just felt that her friend might be a little nervous, because her opponent was 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 situation that Li Yu often talks about.

Just as Ilea was thinking about it, the priestess also began to prepare 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 in the copper basin until the smoke rose, she quickly threw a small ball of black stuff 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."
