215 The Redemption of the Oracle
There is a magical power in this thing, it can make people crazy, it can make people crazy. For the sake of rights, many people can kill their fathers and mothers, not to mention just younger brothers and sisters who don't have deep feelings.
Katy left the Prince's estate and went to the hidden mountain forest by the roadside, and then she took out an oil-paper bag from the crack in the rubble, and changed it into a black coat and put on the ordinary linen clothes in the oil-paper bag. Then she ruffled her hair and made it into a side braid.
As soon as she did this, her cold and arrogant and charming temperament immediately disappeared, and she became a gentle and lovely little jasper.
She returned to the boulevard and walked slowly back to the city center, through the bustling downtown and into a slum.
She walked down the alley that was slightly filled with the smell of excrement, and many people around her looked at her with squinting eyes, but many more greeted her in a friendly way.
Katie is beautiful and has a good figure, and in this ghetto, she is the most dazzling flower, and many people are interested in her, whether it is good intentions or bad intentions.
She walked around the alley, and some men came over, with the intention of rubbing oil, but she avoided them without a trace. As an agile professional, if she couldn't handle a few ordinary people, she really didn't have to mix in the assassin world anymore.
After walking down the alley for a few minutes, she paused for a moment in front of a small mud-brick house, then stooped down to get inside.
The room was a little dim, and there was a foul smell of herbs in it, and an old woman with gray hair was lying on the bed, her face wrinkled like a lake crumpled by the breeze, and most importantly. Her face was ugly, coppery, and only those who had been sick for a long time. will have such an ugly complexion.
Katie walked over to the old woman's side, looked at her carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she began to sweep the floor, boil water, cook, and more than an hour had passed after this round of work. When she had finished two pieces of wax meat and was about to open the pot, the old woman on the bed woke up.
She coughed. Then she turned her godless gray pupils, then turned sideways slightly, and saw the familiar figure who was busy working, she smiled, "Katy." When did you get back. ”
As a professional. Katie naturally knew that her mother had woken up a long time ago, so she turned around and smiled, "It's been a little while, Mother, are you feeling better?" ”
"It's still the same." The old woman sat up, and she coughed, "Father Jedo comes to treat me every day, and he is such a good man." It would be nice if you could marry him. ”
"Mother, we are people of two worlds." Katy put down her work. He took the old woman's hand with both hands and said, "I have now made a meal." Let's come and eat together. ”
The old woman sighed deeply, and she sat down at an old table with Katy's support, and felt that it was best for her to die as she watched her daughter feed herself, and watched her beautiful daughter consume her youth in this small, dark room.
But she understands better that if she dies unexplained, Katy will probably go crazy, and their mother and daughter have been dependent on each other since childhood, and their family relationship has been so deep that it is difficult for others to understand.
The two of them were eating white bread and a little honey, which was quite good in the slums, and just as they were about to finish eating, a young man walked in from outside, wearing a white life temple robe, although he was not handsome, but his expression between his eyebrows gave people a gentle look.
When the old woman saw the young man, her cloudy eyes immediately lit up, and she hurriedly got up and said, "Your Excellency Jetto, come here, come quickly, Katie is back, she has made a lot of delicious things, you can come and taste them too." ”
The young man glanced at Katy, nodded in acknowledgment, and then walked over to the old woman's side and smiled, "Aunt Polly, how are you feeling today?" ”
"It's still the same." Kati's mother, Polly, sighed: "That is, I am more comfortable for the next two days after you help me with treatment, and the rest of the time I am all soft, I have no appetite, and I always want to vomit when I eat greasy things." ”
Katy gently held the old man's hand: "Mother, don't worry, you will be fine." ”
Old man Polly nodded.
The young pastor stood aside, watching the affectionate scene of the mother and son, and only smiled slightly.
The priest waited for the two to finish their relationship, and then used the disease-repelling magic on the old man Polly, and Katie stood quietly and watched.
The young pastor had been in the room for a long time, and by the time he had stopped, he was sweating profusely.
Polly was full of gratitude, and looked at the pastor as if she were looking at her own son-in-law.
Jieduo wiped his sweat, smiled innocently, and then said, "Auntie, I have to go, and I have to go back to the church to preside over some affairs." ”
"Okay, I'm bothering you again this time." Polly strained her face at her daughter Katy, and then said, "Alas, I'll let Katy send you, we're dirty here, and Katie will lead you out, and it will be a lot less trouble." ”
In fact, as a pastor, there is really no one in the slums who dares to trouble Jetto. Katie nodded at this time, and said gently: "Okay, then mother, you wait here, I'll go back." ”
Then Katy, in the encouraging eyes of his mother, went out of the low room with Jetdo, and then the two walked around the slum, and many people saw Katy and Jetdo together, all of them showed a look of surprise or jealousy, and in their minds, Katie was about to climb the high branches, and sooner or later he would have to leave the slum.
For ordinary people, fate can be changed, and this is the most important thing.
The two soon walked to a secluded place, and then stood still.
Katy's gentle smile changed, and she suddenly became indifferent, she took out six gold coins, handed them over, and said, "This is a month's fee, I'm sorry for you." ”
Jiedo took the gold coin, then he looked around and said, "Actually, I don't understand one thing, you are also a professional, in fact, with your ability, as long as you give up your mother, you can live a better life...... As far as I know, she's not your birth mother. ”
"It's my business, it's none of your business." Katy's face changed from indifferent to slightly murderous.
Feeling the murderous aura of substance, Jiedo was not afraid, and he said with a bit of ridicule: "A person who is in charge of assassination full-time actually knows family affection? ”
Kati's hand was already pressed on her waist, her pale pink lips were slightly upturned, and a little murderous intent had been revealed: "If I don't understand, you know?" ”
Jieduo ignored her killing intent, and just said slowly: "It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, I just want to tell you that your mother's illness, at most, will last for another three months, which is the limit of my ability." ”
Katy's body trembled, her face turned pale, and her thin lips trembled slightly: "You're lying to me...... Money is not a problem, I can continue to earn, you use more snacks......"
Jetdo interrupted Katie with a wave of his hand, and he said self-deprecatingly, "I want to explain once again, there is a strange source of life energy in your mother's body, and this energy source grows with her flesh and blood, and is itself a part of her body, and there is no way to get rid of it with magic alone. ”
"Is there any other way?"
Jetdo looked at Katie and felt pitiful for her: "There is no way, at least I can't help it." If you don't believe me, you can ask a priest who is more powerful than me, but many times, they are not willing to treat an old woman, but also a commoner old woman, and their guests are usually high-ranking officials. What's more, I don't think anyone can break this strange curse. ”
Katie clenched her right hand tightly, her eyes a little blank, and she couldn't accept the fact that she couldn't hold on: "Why do you suddenly feel like you can't hold on." ”
"Limited capacity." Jiedo put away the six gold coins in his hand, and then continued, "I will treat your mother for another month, and after a month, I will stop." No longer accept your commissions. ”
Katy gritted her teeth: "In a month, I will get you ten gold coins." ”
Jetdo shook his head: "It's not about money. It's that I really don't have the ability to cure it if I can't cure it by then...... I'm afraid, to be precise, that if you can't suppress your mother's illness and make her have a seizure, and then take your money, you'll probably go berserk and kill me. It's not easy to say you're going to kill me, but I don't want to mess with an enemy for nothing. ”
After Jieduo finished speaking, he left lonely, in fact, he liked this woman a lot, but he also knew that all the feelings of this woman were placed on her mother, as long as her mother did not heal for a day, she would never talk about the relationship between men and women.
Jetto lasted for three years...... But he really couldn't get through it. Although Katie is indeed beautiful enough and has enough strength, it is not an excuse for him to waste his time.
He, Jetdo, one of the candidate bishops of the Temple of Life, as long as he wants, waves his hand, and a large number of women with the same appearance as Katie will pounce, as long as he thinks of this, he feels very happy, but he doesn't know why, he faintly feels that such a woman is boring, compared to Katy, it is too boring.
The conflicted Jetdo left, and Katy felt as if all the strength of his body had been drained.
She took out the last two gold coins on her body and looked at them carefully...... As a professional, she can earn a lot of money, and it is not difficult to earn about ten gold coins a month, but now this money is useless, and no amount of money can buy back her mother's life.
She took a few steps back, almost losing her footing...... The gold coin fell to the ground, and her tears fell, smashing little by little on the coin.
I am willing to trade my life's luck and freedom for my mother's health and longevity.
Katie stood in front of the gold coin, clenching her knees and crying bitterly.
Liang Lidong, who was thousands of miles away, suddenly raised his head, because at that moment just now, he heard the divine thought sent by the goddess Workin:
Go and help me redeem a woman and make her the fangs and blades of our cult. (To be continued.) )
