Quadruple split

Chapter 123 The Courage to Live

Inai town, blockade

"Please wait a moment and let the child relax."

Mo Tan whispered instructions to a pale orc woman, then raised the cross in his hand and shook it gently.

The pale golden holy light gradually lit up on the cross, exuding bursts of warmth, and Mo Tan's pure black eyes gradually overflowed with wisps of light.

The originally clear vision gradually became hazy, and the target Mo Tan was looking at gradually became blurry. The trembling orc child hiding in his mother's arms had turned into a hazy white outline in his eyes.

[Fortunately, it’s just malnutrition...]

Mo Tan slowly put down the cross, smiled at the boy whose vision became clear again, and then nodded to the orc woman: "No problem."

"Thank God! Thank God!" The haggard orc woman burst into tears of joy. Her legs softened and she knelt down. She hugged her child tightly and whispered to Mo Tan: "Thank you. You, distinguished pastor, thank you, thank you!”

Mo Tan just shook his head: "It's just a little effort, then the next one is..."

"My husband!" The woman leaned over and picked up the child, pointed at the tall orc man at the front of the team, and whispered to Mo Tan: "Since the child and I are fine, he should be healthy too, right? ?”

Mo Tan nodded slightly and said, "I hope so, please wait a moment...are you ready?"

The last sentence was said to the big orc man who had already walked up to him.

"Yes, I'm ready, Pastor." The other party nodded respectfully, and then showed a naive smile to the mother and daughter who had crossed the blockade.

"careful……"

The sound of the dice reached Mo Tan's ears at this moment: "The guy in front of you has a weapon on his sleeves. You'd better call him to me and Basa!"

In his peripheral vision, Mo Tan saw the dwarf thief not far away looking here warily and making a few gestures to him, but he didn't seem to hear it and just raised the cross in his hand again. In order to move the little "magic power" left in his body to his right hand and eyes at the same time, he activated the skill.

【Eye of Dawn】

Holy Light Sect active skills

Requirements for mastering: Possess knowledge of the Holy Light, believe in ‘Pakoshi, the Goddess of Dawn’, and have a priest profession

Consumption/limitation: 15 mana/second, no astigmatism

Effect: Activate Eyes of Dawn on a target, causing you to obtain the 'Obscure Gaze' effect for the duration. During the duration of this effect, your perception of all units other than the current target is reduced by 90%. The moment the skill is activated , you can randomly observe a buff or debuff on the target. Every five seconds the duration of 'Light Gaze' increases, there is a certain chance of providing you with a small amount of information about the target. Cooling time: 30 minutes

※Hyperlinks※

1. This skill will inevitably advance after its proficiency reaches 300. The current proficiency is 3.6/300.

2. If you choose to reject the observation conclusion directly given by the system, the cooldown time of this skill will be reduced by 99%

3. During the activation of this skill, you will lose the ability to see objects normally.

[Note: True purity is uncoded in the eyes and coded in the heart]

The notes are charming, but that’s not the point…

[Eye of Dawn] This skill was taught to Mo Tan by Pastor Owen, who had been responsible for checking everyone, because the old priest had almost exhausted all the magic power in his body more than ten minutes ago, and Mo Tan stopped it immediately. He met the former who wanted to continue to perform his duties, and asked the other party whether he, who was also a pastor, could help...

Then he learned the skill of Eye of Dawn and triggered a side mission, which was to carry out identification work on behalf of Owen during the next inspection period without making any wrong judgments.

So the scene at the beginning of this chapter appeared...

[Eye of Dawn] cannot be said to be a cool and good skill, and its actual combat value is almost zero. First of all, it can only be activated on one target, and in the process, the caster's field of vision will change, except for the current Everything outside the target becomes a mosaic, and the target becomes... a less blurry mosaic, and the cost is not that small.

However, the effect is quite good in this kind of simple identification work, and Mo Tan also has the talent of 'piety' that allows him to quickly restore his magic value while staying still, and his battery life is also guaranteed.

There's only one problem...

It was because he couldn't use the system to give a conclusion directly, otherwise the Eye of Dawn would enter a 30-minute cooling time, which undoubtedly significantly increased the difficulty of the task.

We must know that clicking the keyboard in front of the computer to activate skills is completely different from traveling to a magical world to make fireballs. In the former, you only need to choose a position and move your fingers to complete, but in the latter, you need to sense the day to know what is going on. What are the elements of virtue, and then strictly follow the correct steps to cast the spell, and the difficulty is definitely two concepts.

So Mo Tan was even a little desperate at first...

But it turns out that it's not as difficult as he thought.

First of all, regardless of whether the system will give a conclusion or not, the judgment that "a gain or debuff effect will be observed the moment the skill is activated" is absolute, so if there is nothing unusual about the opponent after the skill is activated, it is fine.

When any unknown effect is observed, the outline of the current target in Mo Tan's field of vision will change. Based on repeated confirmation with Father Owen, he has been able to basically determine the specific characteristics of the plague-infected person, which is - -green!

If there is green anywhere on the snow-white outline, whether it is dark green, light green, grass green or turquoise, it basically means that the other person is infected. The terminally ill person will be covered in green, while the person who is infected in some places and has not yet spread will have green areas... …

Fortunately, the old man has not yet contracted the disease on his forehead, otherwise it would be too miserable.

It is not easy to judge other characteristics of Mo Tan, but based on the situation of the person being observed, such as the many refugees with yellowish faces and thin muscles in the past, he can roughly guess part of it. The specific manifestation of malnutrition is that the outline that originally exuded fluorescent white gradually became transparent. This way, if you starve for a particularly long time, your stomach will turn gray, just like the orc child before.

And his father...

【Sure enough...】

Mo Tan only observed it for a few seconds before he lowered the cross in his hand. He sighed softly, shook his head at the still smiling orc man in front of him and said, "I'm sorry."

"What!?"

"dad!"

The orc woman, who had been slightly relieved, suddenly felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her hands holding her son tightly were trembling, her red and swollen brown eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot eyes, and her hoarse voice was full of tears: "It's impossible. No, Pastor... You must have read it wrong. My child and I are fine, and my husband cannot be infected! Right! Right?"

When she said the last few words, the wife burst into tears.

"Mom?" The boy, who was startled by his mother, asked with some panic: "What's wrong? Dad can't come with us..."

The orc man shrugged his shoulders and smiled fondly at the child not far away: "Yes, dad can't go with you. You have to listen to your mother. Although she is often unreasonable, loses her temper, and doesn't care. Be reasonable, make a fuss out of a molehill, make a fuss, and act up over nothing...but you, the brat, still have to bear with it a little bit."

"Come here!" The wife shouted with red eyes: "I'll beat you to death..."

"I can't get through." The husband put on an unusual expression that he didn't want to be beaten. Hehe Zhile said, "You can't get through~"

Mo Tan quietly activated [Eye of Dawn] again and stared at the tall and strong orc man in front of him, but the result was not the same as before. Even as the duration of the skill increased, the outline of the figure that was originally not much appeared. The dots of miserable green gradually became one...

Severe infection without a doubt.

"Master Priest! Please take another look, and... check him again..." The wife could no longer hold back the vicious expression on her face, and while sobbing, she begged Mo Tan: "Once, just once. good……"

But her husband waved his hand at Mo Tan, turned to the woman and said, "Don't let the priest waste your efforts. I know my body very well... I just haven't told you two. I have never told you." I started vomiting blood the night before yesterday, and I started to lose feeling in my left arm at noon yesterday. I think it will be rotten in two days. Don’t worry about it, and take the baby away quickly.”

"I'll accompany you..." The wife took a shaky step forward, and then...

"Don't come here!" The husband shouted sharply, stretched out his hand and pulled out a tattered short knife with a wooden handle from his sleeve, and before the flying dice arrived...

Aiming it at his chest.

The wife was stunned.

The dwarf thief who had already drawn his short blade and ran in front of him was also stunned.

"Sorry, bitch." He made a face to his wife and said with a smile: "Take care of that little bastard, he will do whatever you want. If you don't take care of him when he goes out, he will be beaten to death."

"Don't……"

"Sir, please help me stabilize that bitch, don't let her do stupid things." The big man glanced at Dice and Motan, held the dagger in his hand tightly, and then stabbed his chest hard: "I'll just..."

"don't want!"

Bang! !

A sharp beam of light hit the dagger without missing a beat, ricocheting it away before it penetrated the owner's heart.

The big man was dumbfounded, and his wife, children, dice... I mean the dice on the side were all dumbfounded.

"Well, it is indeed much stronger than before."

Mo Tan, who still had a trace of residual light lingering between his fingers, nodded and smiled at the eight-foot tall man in front of him: "What do you think of this condensed light arrow?"

"Master Priest..." The man smiled bitterly at Mo Tan, who had just knocked away his weapon: "The power of your hair condensation thing just now was pretty good, but it was so difficult for me to muster up the courage to do it! You are so After a lot of trouble...I have to do some ideological work for myself again."

Mo Tan played with the cross in his hand and glanced at him casually: "Really? Does it take a lot of courage to commit suicide?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense..." The man curled his lips: "I'm afraid of pain."

"It's easy to commit suicide." Mo Tan shook his head, and then pointed at the dice next to him: "It's also easy to die painlessly. The skilled thief next to me can definitely make you jump off the street easily..."

"Hey, hey, hey!?" Dice rolled his eyes: "Do you think I'm addicted to killing people?"

"Master Priest, you..." The orc woman had tears in her eyes.

"I don't want dad lying on the street, Liang!" the child yelled next to him.

"Look~" Mo Tan shrugged at the big man: "I think it takes more courage to live..."

The other party was silent.

Mo Tan glanced at him and continued: "Of course, you have been infected with the plague, and you will definitely not be able to leave here. And even if you don't die now, you may die in a few days, and the death will be more painful, but... it is not without hope. ."

"What do you want to say?" The big man scratched the back of his head and said with a dry smile: "Then shall I die or not?"

"Two saints from the Dawn Sect have arrived in Misha County a few days ago." Mo Tan pointed to the distance and said softly: "They are in Hofer City in the north. If..."

Dice coughed dryly beside him: "You mean Xi, man."

"Uh, sorry." Mo Tan smiled awkwardly, then pointed in the opposite direction, and said solemnly to the big man in front of him: "So you can go to the north to try your luck, and then... well, pray With the blessing of the goddess, even though there is a high possibility that you will still die, if you can get there alive, they will never hesitate to lend a helping hand."

The big orc man clenched his fist vigorously and said with a wry smile: "This journey may become the last journey in my life..."

Mo Tan nodded: "Yes, it is far less easy than wiping your neck directly. You may be in pain, tortured along the way, and eventually die on the road or in a long queue without a miracle happening, but no matter what … There is still a glimmer of hope.”

"I understand." The man nodded vigorously, then turned to his wife and said seriously: "I plan to listen to the pastor and try my luck in Hofer City. If... I mean if... I If you are lucky enough to survive, you must..."

The wife nodded vigorously and burst into tears: "I will definitely wait for you to come back..."

"You must forget what I just scolded you!" The man said sadly: "I really didn't mean it! I just wanted to have a good time before I die!"

wife:"……"

Mo Tan: "..."

dice:"……"

one minute later

"Go quickly!" A certain shaman who was called over urgently turned around and shouted to the man of the same race: "Why is your wife so strong! I can't stop you! Run!"

The orc man with weak legs nodded stiffly, looked at his wife who was stopped by Dice and others not far away, sighed softly, and bowed slightly to Mo Tan in front of him: "Thank you, Pastor... "

"It's okay, come on."

"I have one last question."

"you say."

"You have been talking about going north before, but you have never pointed north once. So where should I go..."

Mo Tan: "..."
