Angel on earth

"No!" Mikhail's eyes widened in horror, "No such thing...! Mithras, I have absolutely no intention of doing so!"

"You spend time on him, that's fine, I admit that you still care about the fate of the poor in many cases - but you are thinking about him all day long!" Rollins put his hands behind his back, aggressively, " You have always been a good boy, the purest and kindest angel of God the Father; you have been on the battlefield, you have faced famine, and you have seen hell worse than the slums in Potosí! Now, you answer me: just for the sake of those ordinary people But those who are suffering, will you voluntarily put your heart on that doctor?"

"You don't understand!" argued Mikhail, "the poor are not the same as the poor! Rollins, I also want to ask, why there are still serfs after the abolition of slavery, and so many after killing the masters of the serfs People who work hard but can't get enough? Rollins, please don't lie to me. When I was 12 years old, I went to the Rhine Parish for the first time. The priest there reported three years of good harvests and sent me gold forging But I went there again last year, and more people died of starvation—why is that?”

"You don't need to understand this." Rollins frowned. "The church was not responsible for this. It's just because you have the ability to adjust the weather and you have a conscience that they let you run around with peace of mind. In fact—— "

"What is this?" exclaimed Mikhail. "Then you don't understand my reason? I want to know, and Arnold will tell me, that's all!"

"People came to this world to atone for their sins, and everyone has their own suffering." Rollins said impatiently, "Your Highness, if they don't want to be saved themselves, no one can pull them out of hell."

Mikhail blushed, and the morning stars and lightning flashed in his eyes. He said sadly: "Then this is my pain. No one is innocent. Your Excellency Rollins, please allow me to go first Retire."

Rollins sighed and did not hold back: "Okay, Your Highness. It's useless to say anything now, you should use those god's eyes to see clearly."

The young knight ran out of the church angrily, and went straight to Arnold without saying his afternoon prayers.When he reached the door of the room, he drooped his shoulders again and became depressed.

Trouble for Arnold, he thought.But anyway, Rollins shouldn't have said that, and Rollins should have apologized to the doctor.The word "seduce" can only be used if the other party is determined to be a demon or a wizard. Once what Rollins just said is heard, Arnold will be finished, no matter how many poor people he has saved.Arnold never even leads him, it's always him asking annoying things.

Arnold is his friend.His friend had beautiful green eyes, and short gray-black hair that was always messy, and smelled of clean herbs; when he returned to Sun City, he would make Arnold a new pair of glasses.Although he has no personal property, he can always apply to give a pair of glasses to a righteous person. He left Lieyang City last year, and many shares have not been used... well, except for the money that was embezzled in the name of the poor in the war that needs to be repaid For military supplies, there is still some left, which should be enough to grind two clear crystal lenses; Mithril is used for the mirror frame and chain, and the soft sword he used when he was four years old is still lying in the box, so there is no need to waste it.

Mikhail opened the door and went in.Rollins did not take back his keys.

Arnold was lying on the narrow and hard cot, chewing something and muttering something, when he saw it was him, he sat up from the bed.Mikhail faltered for a moment at what Rollins said, and drew a sun cross on his chest:

"Good afternoon, Arnold. I'm here to give you a purification ritual. Excuse me for your meal?"

"You are so polite, the meal time has passed long ago. ——It's just vetiver." Arnold covered his mouth, found a place to spit out the herbs, and wiped his lips again, "Miss Olga helped to deliver it. From the door opening Here, together with breakfast, don't worry about infection."

"Are you sick?" Mikhail closed the door and looked at him worriedly, "Is it serious? I can send you home after the ceremony, which should be more convenient for your treatment."

"Uh, it's nothing. It's rainy and my joints are a bit uncomfortable. Vetiver can relieve it to some extent." Arnold looked a little lazy and was still sitting on the bed.It reminded Mikhail of cats basking in the sun in winter.Unlike Lieyang City, the cats in the Siegfried Federation were very fierce, running around in the ruins, even daring to bark their teeth at him in an attempt to drive him away.However, it was completely different from Arnold. The cats that survived the war would eat the dead, and those who dared to show their teeth to him were as fat as lambs.

He looked at Arnold and suddenly blushed.Others can't see it, but he sees it clearly.He lay on that small bed for most of the night, and the power of the Sun Knight still remained there, causing Arnold to sit cross-legged without even taking his feet off the bed when he was talking.

Mikhail walked over calmly, took a chair and sat down opposite him, and saw him narrowing his eyes comfortably for a moment.

"Arnold, is lion grass a good and cheap medicine for the poor?"

"Lion grass?" Arnold raised his eyebrows, lost interest, "That. It's not a big deal. You should also know that there is no such thing as cheap knowledge. The Edwards family does not restrict the distribution of prescriptions, even if everyone does not. , the poor still know nothing and cannot afford it.”

"Why? It doesn't make sense."

"There are many unreasonable things in the world, such as the laborers are always hungry, and those who whip them drink wine from golden cups. Your Highness, do you know how much literacy was in the Mithra dynasty, and how much in Potosí ?"

"……I have no idea."

"You are very honest. Last time I asked a lord, he was so angry that he kicked me out." Arnold smiled sarcastically, "Your Highness, I dare say that even in the Mithra dynasty, more than [-]% of adults even They couldn't understand the first sentence of the Sun God's Code. The majority of people couldn't afford books and didn't know how to write, let alone distinguish between medicinal herbs and poisonous herbs, and make medicines. Otherwise, doctors would not easily become first-class citizens. "

"Your work and research are not easy."

"good."

"You're really—well. The cure for leprosy is the result of your research with Dr. Terekin, isn't it? It's really powerful, pardon my presumption... May I ask you to teach it to the doctors of the church? This will saved many lives."

"I think it's so powerful that Rollins believes that I'm a purebred Edwards again?" Arnold was very embarrassed, but Mikhail moved closer to him, and his expression became less rigid and sarcastic , "Part of it was completed by me and Terekin, but the technique is not scientific in Kus, but in the Federation. It is a trivial matter to teach without permission. The teacher only taught me one, because only I can learn it. You may Well, the doctors of the church, and most of the doctors in the world, don't even think about it, this skill requires a lot of practice and the best talent..."

Arnold carried himself away as he spoke, and even raised his chin slightly, revealing a rather proud smile.

"You are amazing." Mikhail is what attracted Arnold to like him. He believed everything he said, and the young man was sincere in both the admiration in his tone and the astonishment in his expression, "I invite you on behalf of the church, Edwards Doctor, come back to Lieyang City with me. If you can research a prescription suitable for promotion, it will be a feat to be able to enter the kingdom of heaven alive. Don’t worry about your surname, I will protect you.”

Arnold's beautiful green eyes looked at him through blurred lenses.After a while, his lips trembled and he said:

"Hello, Potosí. I want to be closer to home. When the war is over, I will go back. You see, I am 36 years old now, and I am not married yet. My fiancée who wants to come there has married someone else long ago."

"You have... No, I was rude." Mikhail said half a sentence in surprise, shook his head and smiled, "Well, I wish you and your family health and safety."

"...Thank you." Arnold said uncomfortably, a little regretful.They are all lies, why not just tell him that he has a wife and children waiting in the Federation?

"Actually, there used to be a prescription for treating this disease, but... it was banned. Some old people knew it, but because the prescription was too weird, they were often taken away as wizards, and it is rare now."

"Then this is the negligence of the exorcism agency!" Mikhail wrinkled his nose, "I know, some of them are lazy. When I go back this time, I will catch them one by one, for the brave good doctor restore their honor."

"That's all I'm saying, don't tell me."

"I'll protect you, I won't lie." Mikhail finished speaking firmly, then asked curiously, "But, what kind of weird prescription is it?"

"Well, it came from Aerys at first, though so did the leprosy. The recipe is this: Take a bushel of barley and about half a bushel of toads and boil them in a large lead pot until the flesh separates, The toad meat is then left to dry in the sun and fed to newly hatched chickens, which are then cooked and fed to leprosy patients. I have never used it."

"You haven't used it." Mikhail said righteously, "I will take it to Lieyang City for everyone to appraise. As long as you know that it has nothing to do with magic, you should promote it."

"However, on the whole, the church is still fair, and it is also reflecting on it, and it is getting better and better..." Mikhail blushed, probably because he was embarrassed to praise himself, "Since I was four years old, the famine... I am It is said that the disaster years have become fewer."

Arnold laughed: "Okay, Your Highness Misha, I praise your love, but it's time for me to perform a purification ceremony."

"It's almost there." Mikhail moved closer to him. "You're right if you feel like you're basking in the sun. There's still a while."

"……Very comfortable."

Arnold was stared at by those eyes without pupils, and stared at the slowly rotating nebula involuntarily. He felt that the morning mist and stars were lighter than before, and he was dancing on tiptoe. Glittering tamely like ice.

Mikhail leaned down, and his big hands, which were whiter against the background of the black robe, climbed up the slightly looser sleeves little by little.He supported the doctor's thin shoulders, approached slowly, and in the dim light of an oil lamp, he gently kissed the doctor's lips.

The next day, the dark clouds that had covered Chalek for half a month completely dissipated.The sun was pouring warmly on the surface of every drop of dew, the flowers and plants of the Miracle Clinic rushed over the fence, and the ladies and ladies put on lace parasols when they went out.August came, and then there were no more lingering rainy days.

The author says:

Entering the kingdom of heaven alive is a saying in the Bible, which is more noble than entering the kingdom of heaven after death.
