Gold is Justice

At this point, Arrow knew that the pastor had mentioned the red-haired woman again.

After thinking about it, Airo asked, "Uncle San Cake, if... it's not something very private, can you tell me why you are looking for this red-haired woman? What is she and you?" relation?"

Having mentioned this, Sanchuang sighed slightly.

He looked at the salad in his hand, there were only a few bites left, but he couldn't eat it for a while.And looking at his thoughts, it seems that he has drifted to a very long time ago, and he doesn't know where to start.

Airl didn't interrupt, just let him continue his memory.

After a long time, the clergyman raised his hand slightly, rubbed the corners of his slightly moist eyes, raised his head again, and showed a helpless smile: "Actually... I also know that the possibility is very small. After all I have been separated from her for almost thirteen or fourteen years. After so many years, it is hard to say whether she still remembers her own name, and she is not even called by her original name anymore? I originally went to you with the mood of giving it a try Principal, ask him to show me your roster."

"But, your school roster doesn't have a picture on it, only name and family registration. Sigh... I don't even know what her name is now, and I don't know what she looks like. After so many years, I originally I also know that my hope is slim. The only thing I hope now is that she can be safe and worry-free. If I am lucky, I can be taken in by a good family. Even... even now, she has completely forgotten about me. Dad, that's okay too."

For a moment, Airl felt as if he understood the actions of the priest in front of him.

Why would a cleric with the title of "High Priest" not want to stay in the Holy See, but instead run around?Why in such a remote village in the countryside, the high priest had to come over in person, and then wanted to ask about the red-haired woman when he saw someone.

At least, this clergyman is not, as he said, purely to help civilians who are suffering from pain and illness.Walking around and doing good deeds everywhere is actually for the comfort of his own heart, and at the same time, he still holds the slightest hope.

"Why not ask the Holy See to help find it?"

Arrow poured him a glass of water—

"With the power of the Holy See of Light, it shouldn't be difficult to find a red-haired girl aged [-] or [-] across the country."

Holy Cake smiled, nodded and said, "Well, it's really not difficult. But the problem is that each high priest can control different areas, and I can't let other colleagues do nothing by themselves, come and help me find this A daughter who has been lost for so many years. On the other hand, many people in our empire go missing every day. When the parents of those missing children are sad and desperate, they can only come to our church to pray and seek our help. help."

He took a sip of tea, put down his smile and said, "It's impossible for me to simply stop the search for the children of ordinary people, and use a lot of power from the Holy See just to find my daughter?"

After saying this sentence, the smile on the pastor's face looked a bit uncomfortable.He fumbled for the teacup, kept turning the cup in circles, and kept whispering——

"After all...it's been too long...if it wasn't that long..."

Airl let out a breath, and could only say with a little regret: "Uncle San Cake, a red-haired eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl... I do know a few of them. But judging from their families and identities, they shouldn't be too old. It may be your daughter. So... But don't be too discouraged, I believe that one day, you will be reunited with your daughter. Worst of all, your daughter must know that you have been looking for him, maybe She is also trying to find a way to find you now!"

The sanctuary cracked her mouth and smiled, in addition to a little relief in these smiles, there seemed to be a little gratitude for Airl's understanding.

Seeing this, Airl stood up from his seat: "Let's not always think about these past events, everything must look forward! Maybe when will we be able to find the most important person in our life? St. Uncle Cake, would you like to visit my guild? Now those children are taking classes later, you are a pastor, can you come and help me see if my teaching method is suitable?"

The sanctuary nodded lightly and said, "Okay, let's go."

Arrow was also relieved to see the pastor regain his spirits.He was leading the way, but now the cat suddenly flew over from the storage room and circled the wafer.

"Huh?...strange."

Airl frowned, why are both of them so rude?Although the high priest himself doesn't mind, it's better to do less of this kind of impolite behavior.

After all, being kind to others is related to whether money will automatically go into your pocket!

"What are you doing?"

When asked by Airl, Napa seemed a little hesitant.Its little head shook, and its tail drooped a little.

As if confirming for the last time, the cat circled the wafer once more, finally shook its head slightly, and said, "It's nothing. I've been thinking about one thing just now, this thing If I don’t find the answer, I don’t have the heart to teach those brats, so I ran out to have a look. But now it seems a little impolite to say that...but... Forget it, maybe it’s really my nose that’s wrong .”

Such hesitant words made Airl a little uncomfortable, but just when he wanted to ask the cat exactly what's the matter...

"Help! Help! President Arrow!"

The door opened, and that Dr. Cora staggered in again.Seeing the distraught look, Arrow couldn't help but sighed.

"what happened?"

Dr. Cora stretched out his hand to support the wall, and ran to the counter in a hurry. Before Ai Luo completely entered the counter, the barefoot doctor said in a slightly panicked voice——

"Yes... yes... there are monsters! The monsters are coming out! Shining Forest!!!"

Airl was stunned for a moment: "Monster? Slime? Just walk around?"

"No... not a slime! What is a slime? It's... a bigger... bigger... monster! It's a hookrat!"

"That hook-toothed rat... has grown to the height of my waist! It's so big! It has thorns all over its body! It looks very vicious, a hook-toothed rat with thorns!!!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Compared to the past when he heard the commission from the hook-toothed rat, Arrow's mood now is indescribably complicated.

He and the pastor glanced at each other, and immediately understood what was going on.At the same time, I also understand that this matter is far from over.

"Are there any injuries? Was anyone injured?"

Airl yelled this sentence one step further, and this sentence also made the Holy Cake look at him with a little approval.

Dr. Cora nodded, and pointed out: "My friend! My friend and I went to the Shining Forest to look for medicinal materials. He is outside now! His illness...is very serious! I...I don't even know What should I do! Don’t you have healing potions here? Your guild has healing potions for alchemy, right? Hurry up and save my friend, save my friend!”

Immediately, Arrow beckoned for Cora to bring his friend in.

Soon, the barefoot doctor came in carrying a townsman with a blue complexion, black spots all over his body, and weak limbs.

He put the townsman on the table and said nervously: "President Arrow, how is the situation? I have never seen such a big hooked rat! What happened to those hooked rats? Could it be?" Could it have something to do with the recent military siege of our town? And... and..."

Cora looked at her friend with some heartache, and the expression on her face seemed to be more painful than his friend: "Will the treatment be expensive? If it is expensive...if it is expensive..."

Airl didn't have time to listen to Cora's ramblings. He quickly walked behind the counter and took out a pair of gloves that he usually used to do housework and put them on. Then he took a pair of scissors and quickly cut open the townsman's clothes. Those blood stained parts were removed.

Obviously, the townsman's waist was stained with a large amount of blood, and a piece of flesh was bitten off, and even the internal organs could be seen.

Seeing this, without thinking, Arrow took a bottle of healing aerosol from the shelf behind the counter and smashed it open beside the townspeople.

After circling for less than a second, the healing mist immediately penetrated into the townsman's body, and the wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.While a small bottle of therapeutic aerosol was unlikely to fully heal the wound, it was starting to scar and stop bleeding.

However, the more troublesome situation is yet to come.

While Airl was busy with these things, the priest of the wafer had been checking on the townsman's body.

A soft light emanated from his palm, constantly sweeping across the skin with black spots.After confirming for a while, he finally nodded and cast a very difficult look at Airl.

"Same as a Muppet?"

"Same. However, the symptoms are milder and the detection time is earlier."

After speaking, the priest immediately raised his staff of light and tapped it on the floor.The powerful light element power was instantly reflected on the staff, and a soft halo shrouded the townsman like a searchlight.

Just as darkness always fears darkness, these black spots began to fade little by little under the light.

About half an hour later, the townspeople's originally blue complexion finally returned to rosy, and the breathing of the whole person began to become more gentle.

Seeing this, the Holy Cake let out a little breath, and stopped the staff in his hand.

"Okay, it should be fine. The curse on him has been removed, and then let him go home and recuperate for a few days."

Seeing her friend regained her spirits, Cora also let out a long breath.He thanked the pastor again and again, as if feeling relieved: "Thank you, thank you pastor! If something really happens to him, I will be in trouble. I can't afford to mess with his wife and children. Especially It's his son! If his big son finds out that something happened to his father when he was helping me, I will definitely be beaten to death by them." Cora, who had relaxed again, picked up her friend again and wanted to leave, but Arrow But he stood in front of him "naturally", stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Medical treatment fee, five silver coins, thank you."

Well, very good, Cora's expression of gratitude just now was immediately distorted into an expression of wanting to renege on someone who owed him hundreds of gold coins.

But Airl didn't intend to just let him go.Although in the final analysis, the injury on the townsman's body is indeed a factor that he didn't pay attention to before.If I can tell the townspeople in advance that I can avoid many dangers if I don't go to Shining Forest for a while.

But...you don't make money, are you stupid?

"Five...silver coins? So expensive?"

Cora slowly put his friend down, as if as long as this friend didn't die, then he would take the initiative again.

Airl continued to pretend to be stupid, and said with a smile, "Is it expensive? It's cheap, right? I only charge you for a bottle of healing aerosol. As for the priest's fee for removing the curse, I haven't charged you yet."

The sanctuary on the other side quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's a little effort, it's okay. I don't charge money."

Cora immediately nodded to the sanctuary and thanked again: "My lord pastor! You are really our best lord pastor~~~!"

After speaking, he looked at Airl again, as if he was about to use this eye attack to make Airl obey.

It's a pity that Ai Luo still stretched out his hand, with a gesture of reluctance.

"Damn... your guild is really good at stealing money. If you cheat money, just cheat money. What happened to those hook-toothed rats? Is there any way to deal with it?"

Cora handed over five silver coins, and complained as she pushed her friend into the carriage outside the door.

Airl picked up a silver coin and said very seriously: "Please rest assured, these five silver coins should not only be used as medical expenses, but also as expenses for extermination of those hook-toothed rats. We will definitely find a way to get rid of those things."

With Airl's promise, the barefoot doctor seemed to have gained a little psychological balance.He put his friend into the carriage, looking full of anticipation: "It's a deal! Hurry up, the harvest in the forest has started to decline recently. If I delay for a few more days, I won't be able to collect herbs anymore."

After receiving Airl's full consent, the doctor took his friend away.

After his carriage disappeared from the corner of the street, Arrow returned to a serious face and said to the sanctuary——

"Uncle Holy Cake, it looks like the situation is more serious than we thought. Someone was attacked in just one morning. I'm afraid that if the time goes on, the situation will get worse and worse."

The sanctuary rubbed her staff slightly and nodded, "I think so too. Then shall we set off now?"

Airl shook his head: "Wait a minute for our guild members. Once these hook-toothed rats bite people, they will infect the curse. It's better to have more people and more helpers."

After staying at noon, the guild members came back for dinner. After hearing Airl briefly introduce the mutation of yesterday's hook-toothed rat, they immediately said that they could stop their work and go to Shining Forest.

Seeing this group of members working so hard, Airl was also very pleased, and immediately told everyone to pack up their equipment and props, and after a simple lunch, they immediately went out to the Shining Forest in the east.

----

Hook-toothed rat, a small monster in the fields.

There is no very powerful force, but relying on the advantages of fast reproduction and large numbers to form survival.

It has no means of attack itself, and this kind of monster is often the food of other monsters.To put it more simply, some children in the countryside can even catch hooked mice to play with, and even treat them as a delicious meal.

"Ah? Can hooked rats really be eaten?"

Ke Ke was startled. Although this little girl has been exposed to many hook-toothed rat tasks, she was still very surprised to hear that this kind of monster can really be used for roasting.

Airl gave a wry smile. Seeing that the Shining Forest was gradually approaching, he nodded and said——

"It is indeed possible, but wild hooked rats are not very tasty. They have almost no meat and are all bones. Generally, people will only eat them during times of famine. In contrast, if they are specially bred Hook-toothed rats will have much more meat on their bodies, and they will taste more delicious."

"Oh……"

Coco shrunk her head slightly, and slowly shook her head——

"I still think this kind of thing is terrible...Warcraft will eat us humans, and we humans will eat monsters..."

Airl ignored her self-talk, and continued: "As I said just now, hooked rats don't have much strength. Although they are a little faster, they are not too much to deal with. But all of this Based on the common hooked rat."

"According to Kola's description, the hooked rats we are about to face now may be as tall as our waist, and some of them have barbs on their bodies. Once bitten by them, they may be cursed and lose their fighting ability. So we must be careful now, and there must be no damage in this battle. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded loudly, and this answer also made Airl feel more at ease.He turned his head and glanced at the shining forest in front of him again, and nodded slightly.
