Chapter 214 The Sun God Arrives
Rhodes remembered that the last time Xiao Ziran asked him for help, he was using his power to help a believer, and that believer was a very devout fanatic.
Could it be that there are new fanatics or potential fanatics this time?
As expected, as the number of believers increases, the probability of high-quality believers appearing also increases.
As the acting Moon God, how could he disappoint the expectations of his believers?
Immediately, Rhodes calmed his mind and carefully felt the call of the elemental elves.
Swish!
The scene changes.
By the time he reacted, he had already appeared in a barren village.
A large group of villagers gathered around the clearing, pointing and talking around the dilapidated statue to which his consciousness was attached.
Under the statue, two groups of people stood opposite each other in a tense atmosphere. In the middle was a woman kneeling with an unconscious child in her arms.
"Please save my child. I'll do anything for you!"
The woman hugged her child tightly and looked at the two groups of people with despair on her face.
On one side, there is a holy priest wearing a holy white robe and holding a cross.
On one side, there are nature believers wearing life robes and with star marks tattooed on their foreheads.
They are not very old, and most of them are apprentice priests of the temple and new believers of the Church of Life.
The Church of Life uses the Twelve Mysterious Moons as the basis for job classification, and Starlight is the lowest-level believer, equivalent to the priest apprentice on the opposite side.
Originally, both teams received the mission and were preparing to go to this village to treat patients and spread faith, but unexpectedly they bumped into each other.
"Who was it I thought? Turns out it was you bunch of despicable imitators."
In the temple team, a young priest showed disdain and an arrogant look on his face, while the others curled their lips and sneered.
During this period, the Church of Life expanded rapidly and recruited a large number of believers within the Emerald Empire.
But compared to the scale of the temple, there is still a huge gap and they don’t take it seriously at all.
"Imitators? I think it's more like you guys are imitating us."
In the Life Church team, the young man leading the team was very elegant. He raised his hand and a flower of life blossomed in his hand: "Healing injuries is the responsibility of our natural magic. When did it become your responsibility?"
"That's right, when it comes to healing power, natural magic is the most powerful!" Nature believers echoed.
"Don't you know that this is under the jurisdiction of the Temple?"
The young priest snorted coldly, and the knight attendant beside him took a step forward with an imposing manner.
"Yo, yo, yo, you want to fight when you can't win. So this is the style of your temple. And why didn't I know that this place is under the jurisdiction of the temple? Are you so overbearing that you want to forcibly influence the people's beliefs?"
The young man showed no fear at all. As he spoke with full of sarcasm, the elemental mages accompanying him stood up one after another, their magic power surging wildly.
The whole scene was tense, as if a fight would break out at the slightest disagreement, which made the villagers nearby tremble with fear.
finally.
It was the old village chief who wiped the sweat from his forehead and came out with a cane to stop them.
"Please don't do anything, lest we offend the peace. Please check on the child first, he can't hold on any longer."
I have to say that the old village chief appeared very timely.
After all, the people brought by both sides are evenly matched in strength. If a fight really breaks out, it is hard to say who will win or lose, so they don’t really want to fight.
Now when they heard the word "child", both sides immediately had ideas and looked at each other provocatively.
"In that case, let's decide the winner based on the treatment method. Whoever can cure him will win!"
"What a joke! Am I afraid of you? The loser should just leave here!"
The priest apprentice sneered.
When it comes to healing illnesses and injuries, the power of their holy light magic is absolutely unquestionable, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to develop to their current scale.
These fakes who appeared out of nowhere want to beat them. How naive.
Say it.
They didn't waste any more time talking and all gathered around the mother and child to check on the child.
I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.
The child was covered in bruises and it was obvious that he had been poisoned by some kind of poison. With their apprentice-level strength, it would not be easy to completely heal him.
"How to do?"
In the Life Church team, several people were whispering, with worry in their eyes.
This was their first mission, and they thought it was just a minor illness like a cold, but they didn't expect it to be something as tricky as poisoning.
"Don't worry, they definitely can't think of a good solution."
The boy pretended to be calm and looked across.
Just then, the priest apprentice opposite also looked over, his expression panicking for a moment.
But immediately, he held his head high with a holy and benevolent expression: "Since you are so confident in your own treatment methods, then you can go first, so that you don't accuse us of bullying the temple."
"Bah! What are you talking about letting us go first? It's obvious that you can't cure it either!"
"No, then no, why are you pretending to be so high and mighty!"
"How shameless!"
A group of elemental mages cursed and swore, their words full of disdain, knowing clearly what the other party was thinking.
If they take action first, it would be easy to cure the disease.
Once the condition fails to heal, or something goes wrong, the other party will surely stand up and ridicule them, saying in front of these people that they are incompetent, or even take the opportunity to discredit the Church of Life and ruin their reputation among the people.
This puts them in a dilemma.
Rhodes, who was in the statue, was very curious about what these young people would do.
After all, faith is something that is said with one mouth and thought in the heart is another, so no action was taken immediately.
However, it was beyond his expectations.
The young man hesitated for only a moment, then stood up with a serious look on his face: "Then let us go first. Now is not the time to argue. Saving people is more important."
After saying that, he came to the woman and squatted down.
"Sir, please save my child, he is dying." When the woman saw the young man coming, she immediately kowtowed several times while holding the child as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
The desperate look of pleading touched the boy's heart. A heavy weight of responsibility weighed on his heart, and his originally frivolous expression turned serious.
"I'll try it first."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and silently chanted a spell. A faint natural breath gathered in his hand, turning into emerald green energy and merging into the child's body.
For a while.
All eyes were focused on it, and everyone was very nervous.
After that energy entered the body, the toxins in the child's body began to slowly fade away and the color became lighter.
However, it lasted less than a minute before sweat began to appear on the boy's forehead, and the toxins that had originally faded away became more intense again.
"Is it really too much?"
The young man sighed inwardly, he was using the primary nature-based healing magic, which was fine for treating minor illnesses like colds and fevers, but to remove poison, he would need at least first-level or even higher healing magic.
However, he did not stop immediately and continued to work hard to transfer magic power. In the end, even his arms began to tremble violently, causing everyone around him to start to worry.
And just then.
Something unexpected happened.
"let me help you!"
The priest apprentice who had been arguing with them before stepped forward, and soft holy light bloomed in his hands and merged into the child's body.
This sudden move made teammates on both sides look at each other in bewilderment. They had never expected that he would stand up at this time, which even surprised Rhodes who was just about to take action.
"Hmph! Don't think that I am really helping you. I just can't bear to see people suffer from illness." The pastor's apprentice said hypocritically.
The young man curled his lips and said, "I know. Then the credit for today will be counted equally between us."
"make a deal!"
After all, they are just teenagers who have just joined their respective organizations and still retain their original good intentions in their hearts.
This is also their original intention for learning holy light magic and natural magic.
The teammates nearby were also deeply moved upon seeing this. They looked at each other, and finally put aside their prejudices and took out the magic potions they had prepared from their arms.
"Quick, this potion can replenish your magic power, drink it first."
"I have a magic item I just bought that can speed up the recovery of magic power!"
The entire square was in a state of chaos, with white robes and green robes intertwined together, but no one felt any sense of incongruity.
The nature elf floating in the air looked puzzled and looked towards Rhodes, only to find that he was looking at the busy people with admiration on his face.
"It is indeed rare to have such pure faith."
Believers like this who have firm beliefs in their hearts are most likely to develop into fanatical believers because they are pure enough.
It's a pity that his strength and talent are a little weak. It seems that I need to help him. It can also be regarded as training talents for the Church of Life. Maybe he can become my spokesperson walking in the world in the future.
Think about it.
Rhodes had an idea.
A strong life force crossed the plane and fell from the sky, aiming directly at the young man who was desperately casting a spell.
at the same time.
A holy white light soon followed, accompanied by the lingering holy bells and angels, enveloping the priest apprentice.
The two beams of light, one white and one green, instantly became the focus of attention within a hundred miles, attracting countless people to look up.
Rhodes: ...
???:……
and many more!
What's going on with this white light?!
Rhodes looked up suddenly, and in a trance, it seemed that there was a pair of eyes in the void watching him.
As if penetrating the void, it swept into the village with unparalleled power, passing through Rhodes' consciousness but failing to detect his existence.
then.
The breath disappeared.
As if it had never appeared.
"Sun God?"
Rhodes instantly thought of a possibility and his expression became confused and doubtful.
No one except gods can mobilize such pure holy light and bless believers.
Good guy.
Could it be that the other party also saw the potential of these two believers like me?
This was the first time that Rhodes came into contact with other gods. Although it was just a guess, that consciousness definitely did not come from this world, but most likely came from the holy kingdom of the Sun God!
"Luckily you didn't notice me."
Rhodes secretly rejoiced.
You have to know that he is a big shot at the same level as Moon Goddess, and he has no way to compete with him with his current strength.
The only thing that puzzled him was that the other party should have known about the situation in the Dream Forest a long time ago and was a rival of the Moon Goddess, but he had yet to take action.
Could it be that he was severely injured by the Moon Goddess and his strength has not recovered yet? Otherwise, how could he not even notice his third-level consciousness?
"Is there something wrong with the Holy Kingdom?"
"Or is this not the main territory of the Sun God?"
With doubt in his mind, Rhodes looked at the two young men below again. They were now excited and checking their physical conditions.
The child in front of them slowly woke up from his coma as the poison disappeared due to the dissipated breath.
