Chapter 2 Blood Transfusion Therapy
The town of Agate Lake is located in the hinterland of the Grand Principality.
The burlap clothes and the biting cold wind from the far north made Lei Luo couldn't help but curl up and left the church in a daze, thinking about how to face his father's disappointment when he returned home.
Feeling down and sad.
Unknowingly, Lei Luo walked to the front of Bob's Bakery in the town and stood behind the queue.
Raising his head, Lei Luo looked at the two-headed parrot in the cage at the door of the store.
"Hey, you are such a loser, you can't eat less. You know how to eat every day. It's because of you that I became so fat. You can't eat less!"
The other bird head of the parrot, who was eating bread crumbs, retorted: "Shut up, you blabbering devil. If you continue, I will peck you to death."
Frightened by the look of the bread-crumb-eating bird head, the nagging bird-head shrank his neck. After turning his head, he found Lei Luo looking at him in a daze, and said angrily: "Where's your dad? I've never seen anything like this. What a handsome parrot!"
Black lines appeared on Lei Luo's forehead.
Fortunately, there were fewer and fewer people queuing up to buy bread, and we soon arrived at Leiluo.
The owner of the bakery is a tall, plump man with beards on his cheeks. He looks condescendingly at the people buying bread in front of him. He is Bob, who donated gold coins this year to steal Lei Luo's missionary qualifications. He is a bright gentleman in the town. .
In the glass display window, there were soft and sweet white bread. Lei Luo's stomach growled unsatisfactorily, but he helplessly pointed to the piles of black bread beside him and said, "I want a kilogram of black bread."
He casually took the twenty copper coins handed over by Lei Luo and took out a piece of cold, hard black bread. Bob glanced past Lei Luo and glanced at the people behind him.
Lei Luo picked up the black bread and hugged it tightly in his arms, hoping to make it softer through body temperature. He curled up and ran home against the biting cold wind.
Squeak.
After closing the wooden door, Lei Luo took out the black bread in his arms and hung it on the wall. He added two sticks of firewood to the fire. The warmth of the fire made Lei Luo shiver.
Cough cough cough.
The father on the sick bed looked at Lei Luo, tried his best to make a prayer gesture, and said in a low voice: "Thank you to the God of Light for sending my son back safely."
"Father."
With the strong smell of blood, Lei Luo looked at his father who was undergoing bloodletting treatment. He looked at the doctor with focused eyes and asked with concern: "Doctor, how is my father?"
The doctor used a needle to release the blood from the father's body and flowed it into the wooden basin.
Tick, tick, the blood keeps flowing. It seems that only in this way can the dirt in the body be taken away, new blood can be created through devout faith, and the disease can be overcome.
In this era, bloodletting is a universal treatment method for all village doctors, and it is also the only treatment method for civilians in remote areas who cannot afford priests to perform the blessing of light.
The doctor wiped the bloody needle and said calmly: "I have released the dirt in his body. Now we have to see if his faith in the Lord is pious enough."
"Father will definitely recover!"
Lei Luo said firmly.
The doctor said nothing, took the silver coins and left the cabin.
Lei Luo's father is a well-known hunter in the town, so he can spend silver coins to help Lei Luo go to the church to study and read, and try to obtain the qualifications of a missionary.
Unfortunately, this fall, my father was attacked by a monster, and his wound did not heal for a long time after he came back. Even though he asked the doctor several times for bloodletting treatment, the injury still could not be cured, and his body became weaker and weaker. Many people in the town secretly said that he It is because the belief in the God of Light is not pious enough that it is like this.
It was precisely for this reason that Lei Luo begged the priest to become a missionary to prove that his father was a devout believer in the God of Light.
"How's the assessment result?"
The room was horribly depressing, with only the crackling sound of the fire burning.
Facing his father's inquiry, Lei Luo did not respond, not daring to look at his father's disappointed eyes.
After busying around and silently pouring out his father's dirty blood in the tub, Lei Luo returned to his room, closed the door, sat on the bed, and then cried sadly because of his guilt for his father, blaming He did not become a priest so that his father could gain mercy from the God of Light.
Stretching out his hands, Lei Luo looked at the traces of warm light gradually appearing on his palms, his eyes lost sight.
The power of prayer is also called the power of light.
The God of Light is not an illusory legend. Every devout believer can feel its existence. Some clergy can even summon part of its power to come to the world, which is what people usually call the power of light and the blessing technique.
The only way to summon this power is through devout faith.
Continuously expand the number of believers, inspire confused people, and join the light faith, and you will be able to gain more favor from the God of Light.
Human beings live in a region called the Land of Star Curtain. There are many principalities in the territory. In addition to the God of Light, there are also many local gods of their own, but they are all gods of the God of Light.
There are also some familiar alien races living near many human principalities, such as elves, dwarves, dwarfs, barbarians, etc. However, most of them have been incorporated into the rules of the human system, integrating with each other, and their beliefs do not conflict.
But at the other end of the vast Furnace Desert, in a terrifying area called the Land of Night, there lives a group of terrifying heretics. Humans know very little about it. They only know that after successive popes ascended the throne, they would surely launch crusade. evil place.
In addition, in the vast and boundless sea, some pirates have spread word of mouth that deep in the boundless sea where terrifying giant marine creatures are raging, there is a vast continent ruled by other intelligent creatures. Some people even rumored to have seen cities floating in the sky. Later, All were deemed to be nonsense.
However, it is true that there are some terrifying creatures living in the depths of the ocean that ordinary people cannot even imagine.
Waking up from his trance, the light in Lei Luo's hand gradually dissipated, and he was slightly tired and panting.
Summoning divine power by a mortal is a huge burden on the body. Although the divine power summoned by Lei Luo has almost no fighting ability, and cannot perform blessings, it can only show the existence of the God of Light in front of some ignorant people without faith, comfort the soul, and use It was just about spreading faith, but it still made Lei Luo feel a little sleepy.
From this one can imagine the burden that successive popes have endured in summoning the divine power of light.
Shaking his head to dispel his fatigue, Lei Luo took out the "Light Ceremony" and read it over and over again, constantly strengthening his faith.
"The God of Light, the Creator, created the Kingdom of Heaven. Human beings living in the Kingdom of Heaven opened the magic box of original sin due to desire, causing humans to fall into the magic box and come to the star curtain world. Only through the selfless dedication of light and completing self-salvation can they return to the Kingdom of Heaven..."
"Lei Luo!"
His father's call came from outside the door. Lei Luo, who was reciting "The Ceremony of Light", quickly got up and ran towards his father's room.
"Cough cough cough cough."
My father sat upright against the bed and placed several things neatly on the bed.
By the light of the fire, Lei Luo could clearly see these things, which were a book, a strange necklace, and a badge.
Lei Luo supported his father and complained: "You should rest more."
My father is a stubborn person. Although his body has become very thin after several bloodletting treatments, and he is even shaking when sitting on the bed, the stubbornness in his eyes is still there. He said in a low voice: "My own body, I know, no Maybe we can survive this winter.”
"No! The benevolent God of Light will definitely take pity on your devout belief. Even if you are misunderstood by many people in the town, the God of Light knows your piety!"
Lei Luo has been doing his best to avoid this topic.
On the contrary, it was his father who looked at Lei Luo with eyes that were softer and more loving than ever before, as if he was looking at his lover who was dying seventeen years ago.
"Your mother is the most devout believer in light in the world, and she is also the most beautiful woman in the world. She dedicated everything to the god of light she believed in. At the last moment of difficult childbirth, she chose self-dedication, sacrificed herself, and gave birth to her. All the love is left to you.”
Lei Luo lowered his head and remained silent.
In the past seventeen years, Lei Luo has never had a birthday because that day was his mother's memorial day.
"As for me...haha, the mercy of the God of Light?"
Suddenly, his father's dignified and pious face turned into painful self-mockery, with tears streaming down his face, and he looked at Lei Luo full of guilt.
"How could the great God of Light show mercy to a descendant of a wizard with the dirtiest blood in the world?"
wizard?
Hasn’t that kind of thing been nailed to crosses and burned to death by the church a long time ago, turning it into a legend?
Lei Luo looked at his father in disbelief. Was this his father who usually thanked the God of Light for his return? He was actually saying that he was a descendant of a wizard!
"You heard it right, Lei Luo, your and my ancestors were the wizards during that dark age who spread the Black Death to the world, causing terror and raging, and were eventually nailed to the stake and tried one by one by the church!"
Thump thump thump!
Lei Luo couldn't help but back away, constantly denying his father's words. He was a devout believer in the God of Light. How could he be involved with the wizard? This was impossible!
legend……
It was a dark age that was shrouded in death and terror. The wizards had power that ordinary people could not resist. They collected the blood and eyes of children for evil experiments. They wantonly attacked all the clergy of the Church of Light. At the peak of darkness and terror, Over the years, they even released the death plague, and the terrible Black Death was raging, which once brought mankind to the brink of extinction!
Cities are littered with corpses, and every village is gone.
It was not until later, as one wizard after another was crucified by the church, and they cursed everyone, until the flames burned their bodies and the shrill wails lingered for a long time, that humans gradually survived and multiplied, and established the One principality after another.
"This is impossible!"
Lei Luo's face turned pale.
"Cough cough cough cough! I also questioned my father, but he only left one sentence."
As his father coughed, his face became abnormally flushed, and he struggled: "This will never be our home!"
