A flying knife was thrown into the air, passing through layers of apple branches and leaves. An agile figure flashed three times on the path of the flying knife, making various incredible movements. Finally, as the flying knife landed, it fell steadily.
Standing on the ground.
The girl held a green apple in each hand and bit one in her mouth. With a proud smile on her face, she looked at the nun in front of her.
Rachel smiled and clapped: "Karin, that's great! In such a short period of time, you have been able to use your ability three times in a row. Your progress surprises me!"
The girl's happiness only lasted for a while, and soon she had a sad face.
Rachel stood up holding her chest, looking at the other person's expression, and asked lightly: "What? Are you thinking about the priest again?"
"I didn't even go to say goodbye..."
The nun touched the top of her head, and there was a rare tenderness in her words: "I once heard you talk about the heresy trial. At that time, the priest took the responsibility to protect you, right?"
Karin nodded moodily.
"Do you know what that means?" Seeing the other party shaking her head slightly, the nun smiled and patted her forehead: "He is willing to leave part of his destiny in your hands."
"Still don't understand? Let me put it in a simple way. Todd said that there is no personal relationship between you and him. Your only purpose of entering the monastery is to study books. But if you are idle all day long and always go to him, others
What would you think and how would you speculate?"
Seeing Karin's expression with some realization, Rachel patted the dust under her body, waved to her and said: "Come on, Karin, it's time to go back to town. Let's not talk about these boring things.
Let’s talk about some interesting topics... Well, for example, who did the priest learn alchemy from? Regarding alchemy, does he have any hidden treasures..."
Old craftsman Aiden Colm is in a very depressed mood now.
He had just had a big quarrel with his wife and children, and with an indignant expression on his face, he walked into the tavern he usually frequented and found a table where two people were already sitting.
After ordering a pot of ale and a plate of braised beans, Aiden said to the other two people: "How is it? How much did you get?"
One person's voice was so low it was almost indistinguishable: "Thirty-three Bronze Stars."
Another person's voice was even lower: "Twenty-one bronze stars..."
Old Aiden's face twitched and sighed: "Your family doesn't agree with this idea either?"
The other two people looked at each other and nodded.
The old craftsman took out a small money bag, put it on the table, touched the back of his head and said: "With what I have here, the three of us should be able to make up a silver moon. By the way, the current market price of holy bones
How about it?"
One of them said: "I can definitely buy it for fifty bronze stars. If I make a counter-offer, I might be able to get it for forty-eight or forty-nine."
"If it weren't for Mr. Todd, I would be just a poor craftsman at the foot of the monastery mountain. Where would I get the money to recruit apprentices, buy tools, and open my own workshop..." Old Aiden took a sip of ale and pursed his lips.
Said: "Father in heaven, how can a mortal be ungrateful when doing things?"
Another person also nodded and said: "Yes, if there hadn't been that exorcism ceremony, if there hadn't been the Holy Son who sacrificed his life to save me, my soul would have become the devil's food. Where would I have the opportunity to sit here and drink wine?"
Small talk.”
The remaining person kept echoing.
It turns out that these two people were two craftsmen from "acute lead poisoning" who Todd rescued in the past...
Aiden Colm grabbed a handful of braised beans and stuffed them into his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls: "Some people outside said that Mr. Todd ran away with the money, and others said that all the money was lost. I don't believe it, even if the facts are like this
I don’t care what those people say.”
"We want to buy holy bones, but we don't have the money. What should we do?"
The old craftsman touched the ring key chain on his waist and murmured: "My newly built workshop and the tools I bought, if I pawn them with a businessman, I should be able to make a sum of money..."
"That's right! I also have some things that I can exchange for money."
In Muxi Town, conversations like this are not a special case, but happen in every corner.
In the next few days, the price of the sacred bones of "Muxi Mutual Aid Fund" reached the lowest point of 45 bronze stars. Most of the sellers were merchants, and those who had received Todd's favor or had no doubts about his miracles
The poor believers joined forces to "buy the dip", causing the originally sluggish price of holy bones to rise back to 60 bronze stars...
"Walton, you bought another sacred bone?!"
Watching the short, fat man walk out of the church, Leslie looked at his companions with a speechless expression.
Walton dug his ears with his little finger and gave the red-striped boy a look of disdain: "You don't understand the secrets here, just based on what you saw last time... what..."
"microscope."
"Yes! Microscope! Based on this alone, I feel that the priest will not let me down!"
Leslie curled his lips: "I thought you had a problem with him, but I didn't expect your position to be so unstable."
Walton smiled: "As long as he buys me wine money, I don't care even if he draws my blood every day..."
Alfonso De Cabo stood on the top of the hills outside Muxi Town and had a panoramic view of the town.
The knight untied the armor on his chest, took out a copper pendant from under his neck, and gently pressed the button of the card slot. Three strands of hair lay quietly in the copper shell.
"Boss, it's time for dinner." Adelina's voice came from behind, causing Alfonso to put away the pendant.
"The scenery here is so beautiful!" The woman in white robe combed her long hair that was blowing in the breeze with her hands, looking at the sea, beach, fishing boats and houses below the hills, and couldn't help but sigh.
The knight looked at the smoke rising from the chimneys of every house, and suddenly asked a question in a low voice: "What drives us to live on this earth, decorating the world day after day, year after year?"
Adelina was stunned for a moment because of this strange question. She squatted down and touched a vole that poked its head out, and moved her chin forward. The latter raised its front paws, nodded, and ran away.
Come on.
"Maybe it's because I want to achieve something..."
Hearing the woman's answer, the knight turned his head and waited for the answer in silence.
Adelina watched the field mouse find a fallen fruit on the big rock not far away, jumped up and dragged it into the nest, stood up, and said softly: "Before I lost my husband, I once
I thought about being a mother. Now, I hope to protect every woman who wants to be a mother..."
Alfonso closed his eyes, listened to the sound of the sea breeze blowing by his ears, and held the pendant on his chest tightly.
