False prophecies kill people [Western Fantasy]

The wizard set up a notice board to accept the mission in the center of the square of the city hall. Good for your loved ones who suffer from green shoot disease.

This matter quickly spread to the ears of the residents of the whole city. Whether they were simply watching the excitement or those who were also bothered by the green shoot disease, they all decided to go to the square to have a look after three days.

If the wizard can really cure the green shoot disease, the rewards that need to be paid are not too excessive. For those who are suffering from the green shoot disease and are already counting down their lives, this is simply hope for life. To catch!

The three days of living like a year passed quickly, and in the early morning of the fourth day, many people surrounded the square, only the small area in the center with the notice board was vacant.

Some brave students loudly read the instructions on the notice board to the surrounding citizens: "The wizard made a deal with the earth, keep the promise and set up a notice board here, and residents on the land can issue tasks to seek help from the wizard when they encounter difficulties. Wizards pay attention to equal exchange, the difficulty of the task and the reward must match, otherwise they will not undertake it, and the reward is limited to magic plants and money."

After listening to the content, people whispered, although they don't know what kind of deal the wizard and the earth made, but if they can pay the price to ask the wizard to help, it seems good?

Of course, the most important thing is to see if the young man who asked the wizard for help today can succeed.

If they can succeed, then when they encounter difficulties in the future, prayer will not be the only way.

As the sun rose higher and higher, people were waiting more and more anxiously.

Just when people thought that the young man would not appear, a group of people appeared on the edge of the square.

Two young men drove two carriages into the square.

It seemed that this was the young man who was going to make a deal with the wizard.

People made way, two young people got out of the car, and then, with the help of people, carefully lifted out of the car two patients with green shoot disease.

Green shoots have already grown from their ears and nostrils. The citizens have already had a basic understanding of green shoot disease. They know that these two patients will die soon. In three days, green shoots will grow from their eyes. If they come out, they will surely die.

One of them, a young man with a beautiful face in a white silk shirt, walked up to the notice board. He took a deep breath, probably to overcome the fear in his heart, and then he took out a piece of parchment full of words, carefully posted on the notice board.

Then he stood quietly in front of the notice board and waited, and the people around him also held their breaths and did not dare to make a sound.

Suddenly, green light appeared around the parchment pasted on the bulletin board, and immediately after, a huge "task and reward are equivalent" appeared on the edge of the parchment.

This miraculous scene erupted into heated discussions among all present.

After a while, a black light seemed to appear faintly in the distant sky, and a witch riding a broom appeared!

"The wizard has really come!"

"Can they really cure green shoot disease?"

"This is a plague that even the gods can't do anything about. Can they really solve the green shoot disease?"

As the witch gradually approached, people backed away one after another. The fear of wizards had been deeply rooted in their hearts. The sky was full of excitement just now, and the bustling square was quiet at the moment, and needles could be heard.

"Who asked for help?"

The witch looked around blankly, and everyone who was caught by her eyes took a big step back involuntarily.

"it's me."

The young man pasting the parchment on the bulletin board replied in a low voice: "Can you...can you treat... my relatives?"

Under the gaze of the witch, he couldn't even finish his sentence.

Poor thing, would the witch kill him on the spot?

Fortunately, the witch did not kill anyone, she just shifted her gaze to the patient lying on the simple wooden frame: "Save him?"

The young man nodded again and again: "Yes, yes!"

The witch heard the words and looked at the patient for a while.

She didn't speak, and the people around her didn't dare to speak, and they didn't even dare to breathe. Although they were very scared, they were worried that the witch would give them a random curse, but in order to know whether the witch could cure the green shoot disease, they held back their thoughts. The thought of running away, standing still in fear and fear.

I don't know how long it has passed, but in the minds of the onlookers, nearly a century has passed.

The witch finally spoke: "It can be cured." She said slowly: "But, I want to see your reward."

The young man hurriedly moved all the wages in the car to the witch.

"Very good." The wizard nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Put it on the ground, the wizard will not ask for a reward first, and you will give it to me after I complete the transaction between us."

Then the wizard ordered: "Go and get a big wooden barrel."

The young man complied quickly, and he was very fast, because a citizen who lived near the square lent him his tub for free.

The tub was moved to the square. The witch stretched out her hand, and the tub was instantly filled with a black liquid. The patient who was lying on the wooden frame floated up and was soaked in the black liquid.

After 5 minutes passed, the green shoots that had grown from his ears and nostrils disappeared, and his face showed ecstasy, and his health was visibly restored to the naked eye.

"Okay."

The witch chanted a spell, and the person who had been soaking in the tub suddenly flew up and landed firmly on the ground.

"I'm fine! I'm fine!"

Even though his whole body was soaked, he still couldn't restrain the joy in his heart, and laughed out loud.

After the witch received the reward, she turned around and was about to leave. At this time, another young man who had been waiting by the side also put up a notice, plucking up her courage and saying, "My lord wizard, I..."

After he showed his reward, the witch also cured another dying patient.

"My lord wizard... I thank you so much!"

"This is a disease that even the gods can't solve!"

The witch was about to leave, but when she heard his words, she stopped and shook her head contemptuously: "Sick? How ridiculous, this is not a sickness, you are just poisoned."

The witch's words caused an uproar, but she didn't care, and rode on the broom and left.

After the witch left, the people who had kept quiet exploded.

"Poisoning? Isn't this a disease?"

"There is no need for wizards to lie to us, so we are poisoned!"

"But...but didn't the high priest say it was a disease?"

A seed of doubt is thus planted, and while it has no effect yet, it will eventually begin to sprout and grow over time.

With such a beginning, after confirming that wizards can cure green shoot disease, there are more and more parchments on the notice board.

They repaid the wizard according to the reward given by the first young man. Some dignitaries gave the wizard some more money in order to show their respect, but the wizard refused.

"Wizards pay attention to equal exchange." The wizard said coldly: "I only charge corresponding rewards."

As more and more green shoot patients recovered, people's perception of wizards gradually became complicated.

When they were most desperate, the one who saved them was not the god they prayed to all day long, but the terrible and cruel wizard.

And wizards are very principled...

During this period of time, Xie Yi was blatantly discrediting the goddess of the sky. He didn't even bother to cover up, walking around with that very recognizable pretty face.

This is what he did on purpose.

Sure enough, not long after, the high priest who had been sitting in the temple couldn't sit still and came to the door.

"I hope you will stop slandering the goddess for no reason." The priest said seriously, "Otherwise, I will not just sit idly by."

"of course can."

Xie Yi raised her eyebrows, "It's just that you need to be paid."

When he first heard about the mission, his resistance was too obvious. What he is doing now is to reverse his image in the eyes of the high priest.

So, the high priest heard the wizard say in an extremely philistine way: "I have something to say, as long as the money is in place, everything will be easy to talk about."

The wizard raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "You guys made me very unhappy at first, so this is a small revenge for me, but, before I came here, I was a businessman."

He raised his eyelids and glanced at the high priest: "Businessmen pay attention to making money with kindness. As long as you pay me enough, I will stop my behavior immediately, and I will also perform what mission you said... as long as If you give me enough money, I am willing to save the world."

The wizard seemed to tear off the disguise, revealing his true face as a greedy philistine: "How about it, have you considered it?"

With the help of the goddess, the high priest had seen the faces of many people from different worlds. Some of them wanted to replace Sexitus, some asked for money, and some asked for power. Xie Yi's performance was mixed among them. Not obtrusive.

What is money?As long as the other party can fulfill the mission assigned by the goddess, the high priest doesn't care about the little money.

Anyway, believers of the goddess will continue to offer their wealth with both hands.

The high priest believed that he had grasped the weakness of the wizard, so he no longer cared about the other party's previous slander against the goddess, and said calmly, "Okay, wizard, I promise you."

The wizard was obviously very satisfied with his answer, and after asking for a large fortune, he really stopped criticizing the goddess.

However, not long after the calm and calm, another voice gradually sounded.

Wizards charge a lot of money to cure green shoot disease, only rich people can afford it, but poor people who suffer from green shoot disease don’t want to die, a wave of waves resounds in the city: “The wizard’s charges are too expensive, we We can’t afford it, but we are all believers of the goddess of the sky, shouldn’t the temple help us pay this fee?”

The terrifying image of the wizard still lingers in people's minds. People dare not criticize the wizard, but they don't want to die, so they can only point the finger at the temple.

The high priest laughed angrily when he heard the news. This greedy wizard is really unscrupulous in order to make money!

But at the same time, his fear of wizards gradually decreased.

Although a wizard who can be bought with money is not reliable, as long as he has money, he can gain the temporary loyalty of the other party.

And it just so happened that the last thing their temple lacked was money.

After thinking about this, although he was still very annoyed, the high priest followed the wizard's wishes and helped the poor pay for the wizard's treatment.

For a while, the reputation of the temple rose significantly, and the people who had doubts about the temple became grateful to the temple again.

The last doubt of the high priest who saw this effect disappeared.

His judgment was correct, the wizard was no threat to the goddess, he was just greedy for money.

·

After Sexitus was sent back to the Daqi Kingdom, he realized that something was wrong with him.

He seems to have been chasing the wizard so much that he neglected his own plans in pursuit of the wizard.

This is really weird, the young king tried hard to suppress the desire deep in his heart, and began to focus all his thoughts on siege and plunder.

Today, the royal families of the defeated countries he annexed are sent to the palace in prison wagons.

These members of the royal family would be whipped thirty times in public, then branded as slaves in full view, and then auctioned off on the spot.

When the attendant came in to report, he saw not the king, but another man.

This man named Uthers was sitting in the king's seat to deal with official documents. The king seemed to value him very much, and he was willing to let him handle even the most important state affairs.

The attendant didn't dare to ask anything, but respectfully reported: "Your Excellency, the royal family of the Tolan Kingdom has been sent. "

"Oh?"

Uthers, who was sitting at the top, put down the official documents he was processing, and seemed to be very interested in the royal family.

He raised his blood-red lips, and said with great interest, "Let me meet them."

During this period of time, the attendant had roughly figured out the character of His Excellency Uthers, and after a few seconds of silence for the unlucky Toland royal family, he hurriedly agreed.

A group of royal families who were about to become slaves were obviously not worthy of being moved by Usses, a powerful minister in the sky, and the attendants brought them all in front of Usses.

Among this group of royal families in shackles, there are once Queen Camilla of the Kingdom of Daqi, and former Second Prince Ohezer.

"Your Mightiness……"

The coquettish and charming Camilla still looks seductive. She took the beauty potion that the wizard once gave her. She is already in her thirties and looks as young and beautiful as a real girl, but she has a kind of beauty that girls can't have. Mature charm, showing a contradictory and seductive temperament, when she raised her head and looked at someone pitifully, it was difficult for anyone to resist her charm.

But Uthers was unmoved in the slightest. He looked down at Camila with an unexplained smile on his lips, and he didn't speak.

In order not to become a slave, Camilla worked very hard. Regardless of the heavy shackles on her body, she twisted her waist and walked in front of Uthers, her eyes were slightly red, and she hesitated: "... Your Excellency"

Uthers' originally casual eyes suddenly froze.

——He thought of the scene where the wizard had blushing eyes, struggling and scolding him, but still couldn't escape.

Even though it was just an illusion, and the content of that illusion has been almost forgotten by him, but this scene is always deeply imprinted in his heart.

wizard……

Uthers, who had a calm face, suddenly stood up. He looked at Camilla and murmured softly, "It's a pity."

It's a pity that you are not him, otherwise, I would really let you go.

Then, he pulled out his whip and slapped Camilla hard.

"Your Majesty the Queen." The official of unknown origin said politely, "Your method is very useful, but unfortunately, you are not the person I want to see, so no matter how useful the method is, it cannot make you Get rid of fate."
