In the cold and dark underground tunnel, a soldier used a lantern to illuminate the tunnel and led a man covered in a black cloak down the stairs.
All the way to the deepest point, there was a man behind the metal cell door whose hands and feet were fixed, with long hair covering his drooping face, and strange tattoos on his body, unable to move.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man slowly raised his head.
The black cloak came to the door and asked the soldier to step aside temporarily, leaving him alone to face the prisoner.
The prisoner saw the face under the black cloak and asked in a deep voice: "What do you want?"
"Baron Jotta, do you want to make a deal?"
"Deal?" The prisoner known as Baron Jota laughed in a low voice, "Can you let me go?"
"I can grant you one wish before execution!"
"Haha! My wish is to leave alive."
"Baron Jotta, you know this is impossible! Even if you are released, you will be hunted down by the Church of Light! Other than that, you can make any request!"
"Any request? I'm going to die, what can I wish for?"
"Don't you call death a return to the embrace of the Mother Goddess?"
"We want to spread the blessings of the Mother Goddess in this continent. How can we return to the Mother Goddess's embrace without accomplishing anything? Although I don't know what you want to trade, let me go, otherwise there is nothing to talk about!"
"Really? Then wait here for execution. I won't be the only one I can find!"
Seeing the other person turn around and leave, Baron Jota looked at his back until he was almost at the end of the corridor, and finally said: "Wait!"
"What? Have you thought about it clearly?" The other party stopped, turned around and asked.
Baron Jota's eyes, which were covered by his long hair, turned quickly and said in a deep voice: "Besides letting me go, can you fulfill any wish?"
"Of course! The premise is that you can fulfill my request! You are destined to be executed, and this cannot be changed! But before the execution, I can make the decision to let you realize a sufficiently reasonable wish!"
"What do you want?" Baron Jota hesitated for a moment and then asked.
The other party returned to the door of the cell and said something in a low voice.
After hearing this, Baron Jotta nodded and replied: "That simple?"
"It's that simple!"
"Okay! I can help you, but you must keep your promise!"
"Tell me what you want first!"
"woman!"
"woman?"
"Yes! A beautiful woman!"
"Is this your wish?"
"No?"
"It's not that I can't do it, I'm just curious!"
"I'll do something for you, and you send the woman here, that's it!"
"no problem!"
…
Early the next morning.
Someone knocked on the door of Holy Light Church.
The church pastor opened the door and found a large number of people standing outside, including nobles and civilians.
Before they could speak, the people quickly surrounded them and asked the pastor for help.
The pastor finally got them to calm down and asked them why they were there.
It turned out that the pastor was invited to visit the family to see a doctor, which made the pastor of the Holy Light Church nervous. Is there a contagious disease suddenly appearing in the city?
This kind of thing can be big or small. Report it to the bishop immediately.
The bishop immediately assigned priests to follow these people and go to their homes to investigate.
A priest followed a nobleman to his home and soon saw the patient, a young man.
The moment he saw the other person, the pastor was startled.
Because the left half of this man's face is normal, but the right half of his face is distorted, wrinkled and ugly, and has a strange stench. It doesn't look like a disease, but a bit like a curse.
The priest immediately stepped forward and first used the aphrodisiac on the patient, but there was no response.
Even after using the healing technique, there was no change at all.
It was neither a disease nor an injury. The priest's face became serious and he used the curse to dispel the disease.
Something unexpected happened. When the curse was removed from the patient, a skull shape suddenly appeared on half of his deformed face. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 473 Curse
A phantom like figure was directed towards the priest.
The priest was startled and quickly deployed the holy light shield to block the skeleton's shadow. His heart almost flew out of his throat.
The family members of the patients next to them were also frightened and kept retreating, not daring to get close.
The pastor also took two steps back to distance himself. While remaining vigilant, he asked the patient's family: "Have you offended anyone? Especially unfamiliar faces from other places?"
The patient's family members shook their heads.
The patient himself shook his head, saying that he had never offended anyone.
The pastor said solemnly: "This is not a disease, but an evil curse! Think about it carefully, have you ever come into contact with strange strangers?"
The patient replied: "I am a soldier who just escaped from the battlefield. I returned to the camp immediately after reporting. I have not been anywhere, and I have not met any strange strangers! This is what happened when I woke up in the morning, so I asked for leave and went home. I thought
Cure this strange disease!"
The patient's family members nodded, proving that what he said was true.
"That's weird!" The pastor thought for a moment and said to him, "This curse is quite difficult and cannot be easily lifted with my ability. If you don't mind, can you go to the church with me?"
This priest is only at the bottom of the Holy Light Church. He is usually responsible for treating some common illnesses. There is nothing he can do about this curse.
How dare the patient's family delay? They agreed repeatedly, asking the pastor to quickly bring the patient to the church and find a way to solve the problem.
So the priest took the patient and left in a carriage, returning to the church as quickly as possible.
As soon as I arrived at the church, I noticed something was wrong. There was a long queue!
The large number of people is normal, but the problem is that everyone present is the same as the patient brought back by the pastor. The left side of his face is normal, but the right side of his face is distorted.
The pastor was quite surprised. He quickly speeded up and went to the front to consult his companions: "What's going on? What happened? Why do these people's faces look like this?"
The priest on the opposite side replied solemnly: "This is an evil curse that suddenly appeared overnight. It is quite terrifying! The only thing we have found in common is that all the cursed people are young soldiers who have just escaped from the battlefield!"
"They are all soldiers who came back from the battlefield? Did the curse come from the battlefield?"
"I don't know! It may come from other places!"
"What should we do now?"
"We can only wait for the time being. The Bishop will come over soon. With his power, we can break the curse!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man wearing a bishop's attire appeared. He had heard about the situation here, but he couldn't help but gasp when he saw it in person.
The patients and their families quickly asked the bishop for help, hoping that he could help lift the curse.
The bishop did not refuse and immediately used it to expel the curse.
Those things that middle and low-level priests couldn't do became quite easy in his hands. One by one, the patients were cured, and the curses on their faces disappeared one after another, returning to the condition of normal people.
Seeing that it was effective, the patients and their families breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
