Chapter five hundred and thirteenth new and old alternate
Tire City, Lord's Castle.
"What, the lord fell ill?" Knight Sauron was surprised. He has been busy with the Moore Mine in the north of the city these days. He hasn't seen Baron Cade for half a month. He didn't expect that he was still in good health half a month ago.
The baron was already bedridden.
"Can you take me to see it?" Sun Ran asked the castle attendant.
"I'm very happy, pastor. But now the Baron is asleep, how about tomorrow?" The attendant looked embarrassed.
"No, just today, Pastor Michael, I am very happy to see you." I remembered a voice, it was Raymond, the eldest son of the baron.
It has been more than two months since he was injured when he fell off the horse that day. He seems to have fully recovered and looks very good.
Sun Ran asked: "Doing this won't disturb the lord's rest, right?"
Raymond shook his head and frowned: "No, my father often coughs all night long, which is very painful. I feel very uncomfortable. I hope he can get better as soon as possible."
So the two of them entered the lord's bedroom under the leadership of Raymond.
The air in the bedroom is stuffy, with a strong smell of herbs floating around. From time to time, you can hear a few low coughs. Through the dim yellow light emitted by the candle in the attendant's hand, you can see Lord Cade lying on the bed.
.
In just two months, he seemed to be a different person. His face was swollen and pale, his lips were blue, and his forehead was dark, giving off a dead air.
"Who came in?" A feeble voice came from his mouth, with a hint of anger.
"Father, Pastor Michael is here." Raymond said respectfully.
"Who asked you to invite him here?" The baron became angrier and struggled to get up, but his body only moved weakly and failed.
Raymond hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and lean on the back of the bed.
The baron saw Sun Ran, shook his head and said: "Pastor, I'm not sick, I'm just weak for a while, and I'll recover soon. I don't need your magic!"
Sun Ran knew what the lord was thinking. Out of the lord's instinct, he was wary of the True Bishop, a sect that might threaten the sect he informed. He was so weak now that he might not be able to stop others from believing in the True Bishop, but he could make it possible.
Keep yourself away from all this.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Sun Ran took a few steps forward and said gently: "Lord, I don't know how to use magic. Now, you don't think of me as a priest, but as a doctor, okay?"
The baron was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
Sun Ran advised: "Lord, if you are sick, you should be treated. It is only natural to find a doctor. I think my medical skills are not bad, and I may be able to help you relieve your pain a little."
"Then... okay. But you are not allowed to use magic. I don't want to be favored by your Lord!" the baron said firmly.
Hearing these words, Sun Ran smiled. Although this baron excluded the concept of Lord, he had already affirmed the existence of Lord. This was a big step forward from two months ago when he thought this was completely nonsense.
Sun Ran sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and gently looked at the baron's eyelids, checked his tongue, and asked about the state of his body. He pretended to think for a while, and his brows slowly wrinkled.
"What? My illness is very serious and it can't be cured?" the baron asked. He was not surprised. This illness was different from the past. As soon as the pain came, his body collapsed and he couldn't.
He didn't put up any decent resistance, which made him feel really old.
Sun Ran considered his tone and said: "To be honest, your illness is very difficult. Your doctor has done everything he can, and I can only do this."
The real situation is that the baron's playing time has come, and there is still more than a year left. If nothing happens, he will be tortured in the hospital bed for one year until he dies in bed.
After the stubborn and experienced old baron passes away, Raymond will become the new baron. He is a pro-Catholic. Presumably, the true bishop can truly develop in the city of Tire. This situation is very good.
Raymond said anxiously: "Pastor, how about using magic..."
"Don't talk about magic!" The baron stopped him sternly, then his face softened, and he said to Sun Ran: "Pastor Michael, so be it. I know my body well. I'm old and there's nothing I can do about it."
In order to arouse the baron's resentment even more, Sun Ran did not mention the magic, let alone any persuasion, and just nodded: "I know a herbal recipe, which may be able to relieve the boredom in your chest."
"Oh, my chest is indeed very tight. If there is a way to relieve it with herbal medicine, I would really appreciate it." The baron was very happy.
"Then I'll prepare the medicinal soup, which will help you sleep well all night," Sun Ran said.
"Go, thank you very much, pastor, you are such a noble man." The baron praised. After Sun Ran walked out of the room, he looked at his knight and asked: "Soren, you came to see me this late at night.
Me, what happened?"
"Sir, I reported to you half a month ago about the Moore Mine. The situation there is getting more and more serious. Pastor Michael said that there is a terrible dark spirit in the mine. If it is not discovered early,
Clear it out, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles." Sauron reported, and then recounted his experience in detail. At the end, he said happily: "If there were no priests, maybe I would be dead now."
The baron listened quietly, and when he heard the dark wraith, his body was shaken. He was a lord, and he was well-informed, so of course he knew about this thing.
On the battlefields in the south, in those mass grave valleys, in those dark places, there are many dark and terrifying things hidden, especially at night, which can drive people crazy.
"Since the pastor has a solution for this matter, you should fully cooperate with him!"
"Yes, Lord Lord."
Outside the room, Sun Ran took the herbs and started to make the medicinal soup. Raymond followed him all the time. When he was free for a while, he asked: "Pastor, what is the condition of my father's illness? Please tell me the truth.
.”
Sun Ran looked around and saw no one around, so he shook his head and whispered: "There's still half a year."
"Can't it be cured with magic?" Raymond was shocked.
"No." Sun Ran still shook his head: "This time, your father has been inspired by the Lord and is going to the kingdom of heaven. Divine magic cannot keep him. His current illness is to atone for his life's mistakes."
It's game time, and there is definitely nothing that can be done to save Sun Ran, so that's the only way to explain it.
"Then what you just said can relieve pain?" Raymond asked again.
"Yes, but ordinary herbs can't do anything." Sun Ran looked at the brewed medicinal soup, stretched out his finger and tapped it lightly, and a bit of golden light fell into the medicinal soup, blending into the potion silently.
"This is an analgesic and tranquilizing technique. Don't tell your father about this, lest he get angry, which will be detrimental to his illness. There are many times when we need some well-intentioned concealment." Sun Ran smiled gently.
Raymond nodded heavily, feeling more and more how wise and tolerant the priest in front of him was.
After the concoction was boiled, Sun Ran said: "You are the son of a baron. If you serve it to the lord with your own hands, he will be more pleased. It will make him feel better and be good for his health."
"Okay." Raymond nodded. He can be said to be the Baron's only son. He has been favored since he was a child and has great admiration for his father, Baron Cade. Seeing his father's health at this time, he felt very uncomfortable. As long as his father can be in peace,
Well, he's willing to do anything for it.
In the bedroom, when Raymond came in with the medicinal soup, the old baron was discussing the management of the territory with Sauron. Seeing that his son came in alone, he asked: "Where is the priest?"
"I arranged for the pastor to rest first. He said that he could only do this, and he felt guilty and did not dare to see you." Raymond repeated Sun Ran's original words.
"Haha~" The baron smiled, feeling the other person's thoughts, probably because he was afraid that he would be upset, so he sighed: "If this priest doesn't believe in any god, he will definitely become my best friend."
Raymond scooped up the medicinal soup and put it into the baron's mouth.
The baron didn't drink it yet. He looked carefully at the medicinal soup and saw that there was no golden light emitting from it. There should be no fusion magic in it. He felt relieved and drank it.
After he finished drinking the medicinal soup, he felt his body warm and the pain in his chest was greatly reduced. He couldn't help but praise: "Pastor Michael's medical skills are really amazing. Even if the herbal doctors in the city are as capable as him, I can't help it."
As for suffering so much."
Raymond knew the truth, felt happy, and became more determined to conceal the matter.
The baron was in a good mood, so he pointed at Sauron and said: "My son, my body is no longer useful. From now on, the affairs of the territory will be left to you. I have already told Knight Sauron that if anything happens, I will
Report to you, it’s up to you to decide.”
Seeing that Raymond was about to speak, he stopped him: "Don't be pretentious. Our family has been a baron for more than five hundred years. Every generation has to experience this kind of separation. Just accept it."
"Yes, father." Raymond looked at his loving father and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
…
The next day, the weather was fine. Raymond, Solan and Sun Ran came to the barracks, took the soldiers, and headed towards the Moore Mine.
