"Sure enough, he is possessed by evil spirits."
"Bewitched?"
Both Makina and Leo looked at Nok in confusion.
Even the villagers lying nearby after being treated by Nok looked up at Makina in fear.
"Don't worry, it's just that an ominous being with the power of bewitching passed by the village and happened to be seen by you. You were infected with its aura, so it triggered the thing you feared most in your heart and expanded it infinitely."
"Your symptoms are the same as Faith's last night. I guess Faith also encountered that ominous existence last night, and was also aroused to the fear in his heart."
"Now that I have helped you get rid of that ominous aura left on you, you are fine."
Nok gave a simple explanation, but there was still fear on the faces of Makina and the villagers, especially the way the villagers looked at Makina, as if they were looking at something dirty, which made Leo very upset after witnessing all this. accurate.
"But Father, I have been busy in the tavern and have never gone out. I probably won't encounter the thing you mentioned."
Makina asked fearfully.
Nok shook his head and chuckled: "Have you forgotten what you just said, the bird you saw this morning?"
"bird?"
"Yes, it's early spring and it's still very cold. Don't you think it's strange that a bird appears?"
After Nok said this, Makina finally remembered what was wrong in the morning.
"Yes, it was the black bird. It looked at me with its eyes when it left."
Makina shouted excitedly, her body trembling involuntarily.
"calm!"
Nok frowned. It seemed that Ms. Makina had a serious depression in her heart, and she actually had negative emotions under his calming spell.
"Leo, send Ms. Makina and her daughter back to their room to rest."
"Okay, Father."
Leo gently hugged Makina's trembling shoulders, then held Makina's daughter, Little Jasmine, with one hand, and jumped up to the second floor corridor with the two of them.
It turns out that it wasn't that Leo couldn't jump to the second floor. He was probably afraid of jumping too high and spilling the broth in the basket when he landed.
Seeing Leo sending away Makina and her daughter, Nok looked around tiredly at the injured people with twinkling eyes.
Obviously, the villagers who heard the conversation of Nok and others had other plans in mind for Makina and her daughter.
However, Nok was too lazy to care about this.
If the people in this village are so selfish, then Nok will have no choice but to give up here and look for the next place to stay.
He didn't want to live in a place with a bunch of ignorant and selfish people.
Nok stood up slowly, not wanting to stay with these people anymore, lest he could not stand the atmosphere here and get angry suddenly.
He walked to a corner next to the collapsed stairs and pushed open the corner door.
This is also a guest room, but it was rented by a villager named Feis last night.
At this time, this Faith was no longer here.
He left after probably not waking him up because of what happened in the morning.
It was last night that he suddenly woke up and left.
No one knew when he left. The sudden incident in the morning made people forget about him.
Only Nok thought of Faith after discovering that his boss Makina had been tricked in the same way as Faith.
"Is it really gone? It seems the problem is bigger than I thought."
Nok looked at the empty room, thought for a while, walked in, and closed the door behind his back.
He threw himself on the empty bed in the room, closed his eyes, and began to sleep.
Yes, he wants to rest.
Ever since the village woman scolded Nok for refusing to save him, Nok had long wanted to give up.
But his childhood dream and his current identity made him persevere.
He is a priest.
A priest who saves the suffering, loves the world, and spreads the glory of the Holy Lord.
Helping people in need is Nok's bottom line as a priest.
After Nok left the tavern lobby, the seriously injured people lying on the ground recuperating began to move.
Their external injuries have been healed by Nok, and their internal injuries are slowly recovering.
The reason why he kept lying down was because of Nok's request.
But now Nok had left. Except for a few who were dizzy from excessive blood loss, everyone else struggled to sit up.
"Come on, hurry up. I didn't expect that Makina was possessed by evil spirits and became unlucky. No wonder we almost fell to death because of it. Hurry up."
"Yes, yes, let's go quickly. Find the village and ask him to capture Makina and burn her to death."
"What did you say Roger!"
"Burn the demon Makina to death. She has been possessed and must have turned into a demon. If we don't burn her to death, why don't we just leave her to kill us slowly?"
"Well, what Roger said seems to make sense."
"Stop talking, leave here first!"
In the blink of an eye, the group of villagers, who were lying weakly on the floor a moment ago, helped each other and left.
On the way, I met family members who were returning with food, and I quickly persuaded them to leave together and not go near the pub.
However, in just half an hour, rumors spread throughout the village that Makina was an evil spirit and that she deliberately collapsed the stairs to kill the villagers.
After the village elder Sean heard the rumor, the villagers had already spontaneously blocked the door of the village elder's house.
"Nonsense! Are you crazy! What does this morning's accident have to do with Makina! Count yourselves how many of you there are! Whose staircase can withstand the pushing and shoving of you people on it!"
"If something goes wrong, you don't find the reason yourself, and you blame it on Makina! Are you confused?"
"Besides, Father Ryan lives in the tavern. If Makina is a demon, he won't know! You are spreading rumors!"
Old Sean was going crazy.
Before Tax Collector Carroll left, he urged him to prepare for the banquet.
He just wanted to go home and tell his wife and daughter something, planning to ask them to organize the women in the village to prepare food. He himself organized the men and led them to prepare the firewood needed for the dinner.
There was no place in the village where the whole village could sit, so the banquet could only be held in the open air.
The weather is so cold, a necessary campfire is indispensable, and firewood naturally needs to be prepared in advance.
But before he could start organizing people, he informed Carroll of the tax officer's decision.
The villagers spontaneously gathered in front of his house and even planned to burn the widow Makina and her daughter from the same village to death!
This is nonsense!
Father Ryan and Knight Gareth are still living in the tavern. If Makina was a demon, they would have captured Makina long ago and sent her to the stake. How could it be the villagers' turn to speak?
When he thought that these idiots might offend Father Ryan, Old Sean became very angry.
"Village Chief! We are not spreading rumors. The foreign priest said it himself. We all heard it."
"Yes, and he also helped the demon Makina and didn't care about our life or death at all."
"Maybe he is not a serious priest at all. Don't forget, he pretended to have no strength before and refused to save us. Look, he just teamed up with Makina to defraud us of our money! One hurt us, and the other Pretending to save us so he can ask for high treatment fees."
"Yes! There is a priest from the city over there at the mill. Let's ask him to help us administer justice and expose the liar priest!"
Perhaps seeing that Old Sean was not on their side, the villagers actually responded to the caller and rushed towards the mill, trying to find the priest from the city to confront Ryan.
When Old Sean saw this, he was immediately furious.
"Stop! You all stop! You are going to rebel!"
However, the villagers were so excited that they did not listen to the village chief's advice.
"Father, stop shouting. I think something is wrong with everyone. I'm not surprised that those sarcastic aunts usually make trouble. But don't you find it strange that honest people like Uncle Selman and Aunt Luna are involved? "
"There are also Uncles Elder and Lexa. They are both people who have seen the world, and they actually make trouble together. I think there must be something wrong inside."
Lisanna stops Old Sean from trying to catch up with the villagers.
When the village chief was reminded of the torture, he suddenly felt that his daughter's analysis made sense.
"Listening to what you said, something seems wrong."
"Father, do you think they will be like Feis, who was..."
Lisanna didn't say it clearly, but Old Sean understood what she meant.
He looked at his daughter and wife and said: "I will go to the tavern to inform Father Ryan and the others. You two should work harder and wait for the Baron at the entrance of the village. Tell them what is wrong with the villagers."
"Remember, something is wrong with the villagers now. Don't approach them easily. We need help now, and only the Baron can help us. You must be careful. If the situation is not right, you should leave the village and go directly to the Baron's castle."
The village chief's solemn explanation made Lisanna and her daughter feel uneasy.
Tina, the village chief's wife, grabbed the village chief and said, "Sean, how about we go find the Baron together. The villagers have gone crazy, and you can't help much if you stay."
"No, Tina. I am the village chief. Although I have no merit, I cannot become a sinner in Tarn Village. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of your father who asked me to succeed the village chief. You and Lisanna leave quickly, go Wait at the entrance of the village. If the situation goes wrong, just leave the village."
"No!"
"Go! Obey! Lisanna, take your mother away!"
The village chief plucked his wife Tina's hand away, ignored his wife's shouts, and strode towards the tavern.
Lisanna looked at her father's back and felt a sense of pride in her heart.
"Mother, let's go back and put on our coats, and then go to the entrance of the village to wait for someone. Don't worry, my father will be fine. Father Ryan and Lord Gareth are both very powerful people. My father will be fine."
Thinking of Father Ryan whom she met last night, Lisanna was fascinated by his handsome appearance and confidence.
She firmly believed that how could such a person be harmed by the riots of mere villagers.
After returning home and changing into cold-proof clothes for going out, Lisanna supported her mother Tina and walked towards the entrance of the village with her headscarf on.
Neither the village chief nor his family noticed that there was a black crow standing on the chimney on the roof of their house, observing all their words and deeds.
When Lisanna and her daughter left, the crow spread its wings and flew down the chimney, heading towards the village.
