Hansen remained conscious despite the severe pain. He noticed that two patients in the room had been successfully cured and left the room.
The black-haired priestess was still praying for them, a process that seemed to consume a lot of magic power. She was also drinking potions continuously.
The demon wolf at her feet was holding a crystal, seemingly absorbing magic power.
The melon-shaped elf that originally attached to her body had turned back into a melon at some point and was sitting aside to rest.
The regeneration of limbs begins with bones, gradually moving to flesh, blood, and fur...
The pain began to subside as the rebirth came to an end.
As his hands grew back, the trajectory of his magic power gradually returned to normal. He even spared a moment to pay attention to the flow of all magical elements.
"I see..." The holy element is more like an auxiliary factor. Other magical elements are also used in the rebirth process.
…
Cowper remains in his wheelchair.
The treatment was officially over. He was the last injured person to be cured, and the trouser leg that was originally empty became full.
The black-haired priestess looked a little tired. After confirming that everyone's treatment was complete, she left with the demon wolf and the elf, leaving behind only these former patients who were still immersed in their own world.
Cooper saw a woman next to him constantly moving her fingers and muttering some incomprehensible language, her facial expression gradually collapsing.
A boy younger than him was jumping around non-stop, while the magician, who had been stern-faced and silent since his appearance, tremblingly took out a wand and cast a clever fluorescent spell. The light was shaped exactly like the melon they had just seen...
Cowper wiggled his toes slightly; he could see his toes as they moved, since there were no shoes on the regrown leg.
Then, though it was a bit inelegant, he lifted his regrown leg, placed his shoeless foot on the knee of his other leg, and pinched his toes hard with his fingers.
The new flesh and blood was still a little fragile and reacted strongly to external stimuli. The place where it was pinched turned red instantly.
Cowper quickly glanced around and saw that everyone was immersed in their own world and no one was paying attention to him, which made him secretly relieved.
He put his feet on the ground and carefully held the armrests of the wheelchair to lift his body out of the seat.
He never thought that one day he would be able to stand on his own two legs.
The coolness of the floor came from the soles of his feet, and Cowper swallowed involuntarily and tried to take one step, and then another.
Since losing his leg, Cowper has shut himself away, and as the years have passed, he has become less and less able to express his emotions.
The boy who was jumping around nearby bumped into him, interrupting his thoughts.
At this moment, the door opened and the blond priest who had just left appeared again.
"It looks like the treatment has been successfully completed." The blond priest wore a calm smile, and behind him followed those who had just left: "Maria, you can now enjoy..."
Before he finished speaking, relatives and friends outside the door rushed in instantly.
The rich businessman and his wife hugged each other and cried, and at the same time did not forget to put his entire purse into the donation box.
The cheerful young man leaped onto the mine owner's back, nearly knocking him over. The mine owner laughed heartily, rubbing his bent waist. His attendants wisely deposited all the coins they had prepared into the donation box.
Cowper was surrounded by his followers. "Okay," Duke Nelson simply repeated. The butler beside him, following the Duke's gaze, dropped all the magic coins he had brought into the donation box.
"Give me my seal." Duke Nelson pulled out a deed that had been prepared long ago from his arms. This was a piece of land under the name of the Dukedom. It had a superior location and was located in one of the cities in the empire that had a teleportation array.
The prime locations in the major cities had long been divided up by the nobles, and no one was willing to sell their land unless they were desperate. This was something that was hard to buy even with money.
A servant took out the ink, and another servant bent down and asked the Duke to place the deed on his back. The Duke took off his ring, dipped it in the ink, and left his unique family crest on the deed.
"We will donate a church to Maria in Wozhi City." The butler took the deed with both hands and handed it to Qiao Li. "In two days, we will send the church design here. Please choose according to your needs, Mr. Priest."
The magician, who came alone, walked silently to Jory's side.
"How much should I pay you for the consultation?"
“We don’t charge for consultations.”
"Is Bernice one of your believers?"
"No," Jory said, looking at the magician thoughtfully. "She is our priestess."
"She?" Hansen was a little surprised: "Priest?"
"Accident?" The circle of upper-class nobles was very small, and Jory knew a little about Bernice's past.
Hansen shook his head slowly. "I shouldn't be surprised. It seems she has found the right god."
"Maybe." Jory shrugged. After knowing that Hansen was introduced by Bernice, he no longer expected to squeeze money from Hansen. Bernice valued other things more than money.
…
After a rest, Eryi finally had time to count his gains.
On this day, the Healing Station earned a total of 1,221 magic coins, a church, a strange-shaped hammer, a blue badge from Nabanli, and a believer with the title of Duke thanks to the limb regeneration technique.
When a duke becomes a believer in a certain god, the chain reaction he brings will be very huge.
Firstly, this was equivalent to opening up a channel to the upper class. Some of the smaller lords and nobles who were attached to him would consider whether they needed to convert to the faith as well.
And these nobles surrendered their faith not just with a few prayers, they also had to pay a fixed amount of support money on a regular basis.
When the harvest is good, they offer money to the gods. When the harvest is poor, they offer money in the hope of the gods' blessing. When they feel lucky recently, they offer money. When they feel unlucky recently, they still offer money in the hope of the gods' blessing.
I don’t know who developed this, but it’s really a good habit.
But this is just the beginning and the effects are not yet apparent.
Eryi opened the deed left by the Duke and looked at Qiao Li: "Maybe this should be given to someone else." She was already too busy to take care of the treatment stations in several planes.
Jory nodded in agreement.
Eryi immediately sent the contract to Bernice and asked her to handle it.
Eryi took the strange-shaped hammer in his hand, and the system prompted.
[Dwarf Hammer: Physical attack power increased by 100%] The system mall recycling price is 20,000 energy points.
She decided to put this thing aside for now.
"What is this?" Eryi took out a blue badge from the donation box.
"It's Nabanli's badge, I don't know if it's real or not." Qiao Li said with some disdain, "But in addition to the badge, he also paid an additional 199 magic coins."
"Is it useful?" Eryi asked, "Can it be sold for money?"
Jory shrugged. How would he know?
If Bernice were here, she would have rolled her eyes at Jory. He didn't even know how he could get along among the nobles.
This badge cannot be sold for money, and its value cannot be measured in money.
Nabanli is a small country located in the southern part of the empire.
This country is different from other places. They have only accepted missionary work from three churches so far.
The Goddess of Harvest, Goddess of Blessing, and Goddess of Luck. Because these three churches are relatively gentle.
They also don't allow the church to interfere too much in certain major decisions, and the God of Light is therefore kept out. There are many non-believers in this country, and their passes are difficult to obtain. Without a pass, you will not be able to reach their lands through normal routes or teleportation.
The scenery here is beautiful, the mineral resources are plentiful, and the people have no worries about food and clothing. It is a good place to live. Therefore, they don't really need the gods to bless them.
Why hasn't such a wonderful place been occupied by other countries?
This has to do with the terrain. This beautiful place is sandwiched between two extremely high mountains, making it impossible to enter from the side. The chaos that occurred on the continent of Nadus barely affected this land.
The rarer something is, the more it's sought after. Furthermore, anyone who has been to Nabanli raves about its delicious food and surroundings. The nobility is proud to possess a Nabanli pass, but to this day, only a handful of people in the Empire possess one. They generally only issue single-entry passes, and they're expensive.
Nabanli's pass is a card that records personal information using magic and requires a dedicated person to apply for it.
But what the treatment station received was a badge.
Badges have greater authority. They come in five colors: yellow, orange, red, blue, and purple. Yellow badges have the least authority, purple has the most, and blue is next.
There are only three badges that have been circulated outside of Nabanli to this day.
One of the orange badges is in the hands of an S-rank adventurer, the other yellow badge is in the hands of a sixth-rank magician from the empire, and the last blue badge was given to the healing station.
It was equivalent to obtaining a permit for the relocation of personnel, a permit for land, and a permit for construction. Furthermore, this badge also came with a nice piece of land, although it hadn't been developed yet...
The power is so great that one would doubt its origin. If Bernice were present, she would definitely try to find out who the man with the eyepatch is.
…
[Congratulations on gaining a believer with a faith level of 100.]
【The belief system enables the subordinate function.】
Subordinates: All priests should have subordinates who can protect you from all evil. If the Faith level reaches 50 or above, you can recruit them as subordinates.
When a follower receives treatment from his priest, he will receive at least 10% more treatment. As the follower's faith increases, the treatment increase will also increase accordingly.
In addition: Servants will gain different skills based on the abilities of their priests.
Your contracted pet 'Fluffy' will be automatically included in your slave list.
New skills added to Fluffy: Holy Wolf and Defense Shield.
Holy Wolf: Increases its ability by one level, doubling its magic power for 1 hour. Cooldown time is 24 hours.
Protective Shield: Consumes 20 mana points to provide yourself with a protective shield that can absorb 50% of damage. The basic duration is 2 minutes. For every 10 mana points consumed, the duration is increased by 1 minute until the magic is exhausted or the magic is lifted by yourself.
Eryi opened her list of believers, and at the top was an adventurer named Kofi.
