"Father Ryan, I know what's wrong with him. He must have suffered a very heavy life and had a painful experience, but I don't know why he recalled that experience and suddenly became ill. He is scared now, and we'd better not get close. He, I don't rule out that he would go crazy out of fear and attack people around him."
Leo was worried and decided to tell his guess.
People other than Nok listened to Leo's words and looked at him suspiciously.
Nok waved his hand and said: "Let me take a look first. He is very scared now and cannot let him go on like this. Otherwise, he will hurt himself. You guys stand far away. If Leo is right, he will be hurt. It’s up to you.”
When Nok said this, the other villagers took a few steps back. Only the village elder Sean said it a little uneasily.
"Then what should you do, Father? No, I have to stay with you. I can't let anything happen to you. Faith is really going crazy, and I will be the first to stop him!"
Nok looked at the old man speechlessly and did not chase him away.
The old man made it clear that he didn't believe him and thought that Leo was responsible for Faith's illness.
After all, a good person suddenly changed like this.
Only the strange Leo is the most suspicious.
If he wants to stay, he can stay.
Fez, an ordinary person, even if he was stronger because of farm work, he couldn't hurt the silver-level Nok and Leo, let alone old Sean under their protection.
"Leo, help me control him!"
Nok gave Leo the order, and Leo immediately walked around behind Faith and rushed towards him.
"Ah! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
Faith suddenly screamed wildly, grabbed the round stool on the ground, and threw it at Leo who rushed towards him.
boom!
Leo grabbed the stool with one hand, then quickly reached out with the other hand and grabbed Faith's neck.
"No!" Village elder Sean shouted in fear.
Nok quickly stretched out his hand to stop Old Sean who was about to rush over, and comforted him loudly: "Don't be nervous! Leo won't hurt him! He just wants to control him!"
While Nok was speaking, Leo had already grabbed Faith's neck, lifted him up with one hand, and pushed him down on the table.
"Crash", the food on the table was scattered all over the floor.
Bang!
Leo snatched the stool from Faith's hand and threw it on the ground.
"Elder, Resac, come here and help me hold down his hands! This kid's crazy strength is a bit strong. I can't use force for fear of hurting him!"
Leo shouted loudly to Elder and Lexa who were nervous next to him. Hearing the words, the two quickly stepped forward to help.
The three of them worked hard and finally controlled Faith on the table.
But the price paid is a bit high.
Leo rolled up his sleeves because he was eating, so his two forearms were scratched with bloody marks by Faith's flailing hands.
Several scratches were also left on the faces of Elder and Lexa.
But because of this, the two of them were more than half suspicious of Leo.
Faith's strength has indeed become much stronger.
If Leoca hadn't grabbed Faith's neck, he couldn't get up.
Eld and Lexa alone may not be able to control Fez.
Seeing that Faith was under control, Nok didn't waste any more time. He hurriedly walked behind Faith's head and put his hand on the top of Faith's head.
"Soothing Technique!"
White light lit up in Nok's hand and slowly poured into Faith's head.
"Uh...uh...um...huh..."
Faith, who was still showing his teeth and claws with a ferocious expression, suddenly became quiet and snored.
Seeing his peaceful sleeping face, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let him go. I'll help you treat your injuries first."
"Healing!"
"Healing!"
"Healing!"
Three rays of light fell on Leo, Eld, and Lexa respectively, healing their skin injuries.
Elder and Lexa were surprised as they stroked their faces. The burning feeling just now had disappeared, and the original scars had disappeared.
The magic of the clergy is indeed magical.
It was not that Elder had never been injured, but he only relied on the local remedies left by the village elders and applied them on them.
Although it can heal injuries, it will not leave scars.
It is said that scars are a sign of a man’s great achievements, but who would want to leave scars if they really could?
It's not like they've never seen clergy perform magic, but this is their first time experiencing it in person.
"Father Ryan, is Faith okay?"
Nok shook his head: "It's settled for now. If you're not sure about the cause of his illness, it may not happen again in the future. Village Chief, you'd better ask him what he remembered before he got sick. Don't worry, I've already Use magic to calm his emotions, and within a short period of time, he won't get sick even if he recalls bad memories."
"However, it's best to leave him in the tavern tonight so that we can observe his condition. If something happens again, Leo and I are here to help."
"Macina, there are still free rooms, arrange one for Faith. Elder and Lexa, please help carry Faith there and follow Makina's arrangements."
"Yes! Village chief."
The three people who were named quickly picked up Fez and left.
When only Nok, Leo, Old Sean and Lisanna were left, Nok's expression suddenly changed.
He looked at the village chief and asked seriously: "Mr. Sean, it's not convenient for me to ask you just now. Now tell me honestly, has something broken into the village recently, or has anything strange happened?"
Old Sean was stunned by Nok's words.
He looked at Nok in confusion and asked: "Father Ryan, what do you mean by this?"
"The cause of Faith's illness is unusual. When I was treating him just now, I noticed a vague and ominous aura on his body."
"What!" The village chief and Lisanna exclaimed at the same time.
Even Leo's expression changed slightly.
"Father Ryan, are you right? Although there is no church in our village, we still built a temple and brought back the blessed cross from the church in Chengli. Every month, we also bring back holy water If you sprinkle it on the cross, evil spirits and the like shouldn't be able to get in!"
"And we have arranged for the villagers to guard it, so monsters can't break in. The village wall is a barrier arranged by the Baron for us."
Old Sean's words made Nok's stomach twitch.
The blessed cross is of no use at all! Otherwise, with so many Madonna statues and crosses guarding the monastery, Knock wouldn't have to install a magic warning on the monastery.
No, it might actually be useful.
Nok recalled that when he was a child, there was no magic warning in the monastery.
But at that time, there were hundreds of nuns and priests alone.
There’s no monster that’s so hard to think of, let’s break into the home of our sworn enemy!
Even the dark dragon would have a headache facing more than a hundred priests! The attributes are perfect!
Not to mention a strong person like the old nun.
Nock didn't know if the so-called "blessed cross" had any effect, but the monthly holy water certainly did.
No matter how much the churches in the city try to make money, they dare not tamper with the holy water.
After all, there are too many people buying holy water.
Nobles, professionals, commoners and even poor people all buy holy water.
Whether it's to ward off evil spirits or to defend yourself, you need to use it.
Some nobles even used holy water to bathe, which was said to be very effective for men's longevity.
I don’t know if it’s true or false.
All in all, with such a huge user base, the people in the church would not be stupid enough to make money from it.
Anyone who does such a thing that hurts a monument will definitely be punished by the church!
As for the Baron's enchantment?
If the village chief was referring to the crude warning circle carved on the village wall, he had really deceived the villagers miserably.
This kind of warning circle can also sound an alarm when low-level monsters are detected to alert the villagers.
With the number of villagers, if they gather together and sacrifice some lives, they can drive away or kill low-level monsters.
But when encountering high-level monsters, this warning circle is useless.
Even Nok and Leo had countless ways to sneak into the village without alerting the security circle.
It's just that they need to stay in an upright manner, so they choose to call the door.
However, Old Sean's words made Nok somewhat confused.
If a high-level monster broke in, the village would be bleeding like a river by now.
It's not just Fes who is affected.
In Faith's case, it's more like someone deliberately aroused the deep fear in his heart and became ill.
Although the ominous aura about him disgusted Nok, he didn't feel scared or stressed.
"Village Chief, I suspect that your village is being targeted by a high-level monster. The village's defenses are ineffective against it. There are many high-level monsters that are not even afraid of divine magic, and some are said to have only been sprinkled with holy water. Cross. The effect of holy water will weaken over time, otherwise you wouldn’t need to sprinkle it once a month. You should understand this."
"This... this... shouldn't be possible, right? The village has always been fine. How could it be such a coincidence that something happened tonight."
Old Sean's words were somewhat of a slander and insinuation.
Nok felt a little unhappy.
"If the village chief doesn't believe it, just go to the city tomorrow and ask a priest to come and take a look. It would be better if a bishop could be invited. I'm worried that just the priest may not be the opponent's opponent."
"But don't worry. Since it only attacked Feisi alone, it at least means that it won't kill you in a short time. Village chief, you still have time to make arrangements slowly."
"Okay, I happened to be sleepy too, so Leo and I went to rest. Village chief, you and Lisanna should go home early and don't linger outside. Otherwise, you won't hit that thing and suffer disaster."
"If anything happens, you can knock on my door and call me. After all, you're hosting us for one night. If we can help, we'll be happy to help."
"No more talking. I plan to get up early tomorrow to visit the Baron. I want to go to bed early."
"Leo, take the ice-armored bear's fur and put it in my room. With the ice-armored bear's breath, I can sleep more peacefully at night. I won't even know I'm being attacked."
Nok chattered a lot, then decisively turned around and went upstairs.
He couldn't finish dinner, and he was suspected for nothing. It would be strange if Nok wasn't angry.
Therefore, he threatened and intimidated Old Sean with half-truths and half-truths.
There must be monsters, but they are definitely not in the village now.
Not to mention the fluctuations when Nok uses divine magic, just the smell of ice-armored bear fur can make other monsters not want to get close.
Why didn't the other villagers get hit, but this one named Faith?
Nok suspected that it was because other villagers had been "pacified" by Nok.
His heart was calm, so even if he was contaminated with an ominous aura, he was not triggered into inner darkness.
But Fez didn't catch Nok's "reward" because he went to the village chief's house.
As for Lisanna, it seems that this child has not suffered much at first glance. She is very sunny. What kind of tragic experience can she have?
It's just that Old Sean suspected that Nok and the two were responsible for Faith's illness. How could Nok let out the evil in his heart if he didn't scare the old man.
When Nok spoke, Leo would naturally not object.
He glanced at the obviously panicked village chief and his daughter, shook his head and sighed.
Do you really think the priest has no temper?
Haha, these days of getting along made Leo understand.
While Nock is a priest, he is first a child! A child who won’t grow up!
The kind of person who has a small mind and will retaliate for his anger!
