The person who came to cast a spell on Gu Shi and the others this time seemed to be a priest of relatively high status. After Gu Shi opened the door, he saw several people standing outside.
In addition to the priest who was responsible for casting the spell, he was also accompanied by a knight and four servants.
Seeing Gu Shi coming out, the servant who knocked on the door immediately explained: "Hello, sir, we are here to remove the curse for you."
The Church of Light has a tradition of adopting homeless orphans, and these orphans are required to pay a fee to give back to the Church when they grow up.
If they cannot come up with the money, they can stay in the Vatican and work. Part of their salary will be used to offset this expense, and this money will then be invested in other orphans.
The servants in front of Gu Shi should be one of them.
Gu Shi: "It's troublesome."
The priest standing in the middle raised his hand and cast a spell. A soft light enveloped Gu Shi. After about two or three minutes, the light gradually dissipated.
The servant continued, "The spell is over. This is today's holy water. You may return."
After saying that, the servant handed the holy water to Gu Shi, then turned around and knocked on the next door. The priest didn't say a word during the whole process.
Gu Shi turned around and went back to his room. He opened the holy water and was about to drink it when he smelled a familiar stench, the same smell he had smelled on Blair that day.
Gu Shi paused, put the bottle under his nose and sniffed carefully to make sure he was not mistaken, the smell was indeed coming from the holy water.
Gu Shi closed the bottle, held it in his hand and observed it several times. From the appearance, it looked no different from ordinary holy water, but he was sure that this bottle of holy water had most likely been tampered with.
The holy water of the Holy See of Light is made from a sacred artifact given by the God of Light - the Cup of Light.
Just pour ordinary water into the cup of light and let it sit for a hundred days, and the water will turn into golden holy water with powerful magical powers.
The capacity of the Cup of Light is not large, and the amount of holy water obtained every hundred days is not much. The holy water that Gu Shi and the others are drinking now is made by diluting real holy water and clean water in a certain proportion.
"Was it the person just now who did it? No, I'm not sure yet." This bottle of holy water had passed through countless people's hands before it came to him, and Gu Shi couldn't find the culprit for a while.
Holding the holy water tightly in his hand, Gu Shi looked outside the door with some concern, wondering if there would be problems with other people's holy water as well.
Judging from Blair's performance last time, no one except him could smell the strange odor. If they drank the holy water without any precautions, who knows what accidents would happen.
He was very anxious, but the group of people outside the door had not left yet, and Gu Shi didn't want to expose the issue of the holy water now, in case he alerted the enemy, it would be disastrous.
Gu Shi walked to the door and listened attentively to the noise outside. He only heard the servants' faint voices and repeated knocks on the door.
About ten minutes later, Gu Shi heard their footsteps receding and the corridor slowly returned to silence. He waited for a while before opening the door and walking directly towards Marshall's room.
Seeing Gu Shi coming to him, Marshall asked, "What's the matter?"
Gu Shi walked into Marshall's room and motioned him to close the door.
After he closed the door, Gu Shi hurriedly asked, "Did the Holy Water Instructor drink it just now?"
Marshall immediately realized the problem, "Not yet. What happened? Is there something wrong with the holy water?"
Gu Shi did not directly answer Marshall's question, but said: "Teacher, please let me see your holy water."
Marshall turned around, picked up a small bottle from the cabinet and threw it to Gu Shi. Gu Shi also opened the bottle of holy water and smelled it. There was also a foul odor inside.
Gu Shi looked up and looked directly into Marshall's eyes, saying, "I don't know if you'd believe it, but I can smell a foul odor in this holy water. I suspect someone may have added something to it."
Marshall thought for a moment and said, "Don't make this matter public for now. I'll ask someone to check if there is really anything wrong with this bottle of holy water.
As for the others, I will go find them later and ask them not to drink the holy water yet."
Hearing that Marshall was willing to believe his words, Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief. They were not familiar with each other, and Gu Shi was not sure whether Marshall was willing to listen to his one-sided words.
Marshall patted Gu Shi's shoulder and said, "Okay, you can go back first. Leave the rest to me, don't worry."
Gu Shi returned to his room with peace of mind. He had already told Marshall what had happened, and now it was up to him.
————
After Gu Shi returned, Marshall began his actions with great vigor and determination.
He first found the other students one by one and asked them to give him today's holy water and not drink the next one for the time being. Unfortunately, one student had already drunk it on the spot.
Marshall looked at the student with some concern, "Do you feel unwell anywhere?"
The student shook his head. "I don't feel anything for now."
Marshall comforted him, "That's good. It's just speculation right now. There's no guarantee there's anything wrong with the holy water. You don't have to worry too much."
After instructing the students not to disclose this matter, Marshall wanted to ask Ilsa or Field if they had any reliable connections.
After all, Marshall was a commoner, and his network of contacts was mostly concentrated in Congleton. He didn't have many friends in Langari.
Unexpectedly, Marshall met Bishop Charles on the road and told him directly that there might be something wrong with the holy water.
Charles's expression was also shocked after hearing this. In order to ensure the accuracy of the results, he personally conducted the test after getting the holy water from Marshall.
