Chapter 162: Puppet Seal
Mon Carlo, in an alley far away from the busy roads.
After the conflict, in the alley paved with broken slates, Mon Carlo's city guards and the knights of the pilgrimage were standing guard attentively. On the blood-soaked floor, corpses and wounded soldiers were laid out together. The nun in white was using her abilities to heal the seriously injured in the conflict, whether they were city guards or gang members.
Suddenly, a terrible scream came from the tavern beside the alley. Vanya, who was healing the wounded, was attracted by the scream. She looked towards the tavern beside her with a strange look on her face. Then she saw Lauran pushing open the door of the tavern and walking out with an indifferent look on his face.
"Mr. Lauran? What happened in there? Is there anyone seriously injured who needs medical treatment?" Looking at Lauran walking out of the tavern in a stern look, Vanya asked with a curious look. After listening to her, Lauran shook his head in reply.
"No, it's nothing. The person inside is a 'cup'. He won't die from that level of strength. Don't worry about him." Lauran said so, and then he looked at the wounded who were cured by Vanya, and spoke again.
"Thank you Sister Vanya for coming here and taking the trouble to help us with the treatment. It's our own business in Mon Carlo that you have to worry about it."
"It's nothing. Since the person who asked for help before asked me for help, I can't stay out of it. I also know that I shouldn't interfere in Mon Carlo's internal affairs, so I just want to use my ability to provide some treatment assistance within my ability and do my best. The Lord taught me to feel pain for others, because healing others is healing myself."
With a pious tone, Vanya said to Lauran. Lauran couldn't help but pause after hearing what Vanya said, then chuckled and continued to say.
"I have come to appreciate Sister Vanya's kindness, but there is one more thing I want to say. The people you can heal should be limited to the city guards. Those gang scums are not worth wasting your spiritual energy on."
Listening to Lauran's words, Vanya continued to smile and spoke as she stood up.
"Yes... some of these evil people really deserved to die and should not be forgiven, but their death should also be a legitimate death after being judged by the laws of Moncarlo. I think that in order for Moncarlo to get rid of the endless violence and chaos, it needs not only the leniency of the Saint, but also the judicial spirit of the Saint's just authority. Only by improving the laws of Moncarlo can the city be better brought into order. Therefore, instead of more lynchings, we should promote just trials. This is why I saved everyone here."
Vanya spoke with reason and evidence. Listening to her words, Lauran, who had assisted in the management of Mon Carlo for decades and was well aware of the problems here, couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart, and his opinion of Vanya was raised a little.
"Before Sister Vanya came, there were many rumors that you were just a vase in the church. But at that time, I thought that ordinary vases could not withstand the storm of Adus without breaking. After coming into contact with you, Sister Vanya, I am more certain of this."
Lauran continued to praise Vanya, and after hearing that, Vanya also spoke humbly.
"I'm just doing my job..."
Just as Vanya said this, behind Lauran, the gang member who should have been lying on the ground twitched his hand slightly. Without anyone noticing, he slowly raised his bloody head and looked forward blankly. At the same time, his hand began to move and reached under his body. All of this was seen by Vanya who was standing behind Lauran.
"Watch out behind you!"
Seeing the gang member moving again, Vanya stretched out her hand to Lauran and shouted a reminder. Lauran turned around immediately after hearing Vanya's reminder. Then he saw the gang member who had stood up tremblingly and pointed a pistol at him angrily.
"Go to hell! Ten dogs!"
"Bang!"
Without hesitation, the gang man immediately pulled the trigger and fired a bullet from the revolver in his hand. Seeing the bullet flying towards him, Lauran quickly dodged to the side. In the end, his arm was scratched by the bullet. Lauran quickly dodged the bullet. Then he stared at the man who attacked him, and a water arrow condensed in the air and shot out at the attacker at high speed, piercing the attacker's forehead, leaving a hole on his head that was thicker than a thumb. Blood and brain matter flowed out of it, and the gang man fell down with his eyes wide open.
"Shijizi, are you okay?"
Seeing this sudden incident, the city guards nearby ran over and asked about Lao Lan's situation. Lao Lan covered the wound on her arm and said calmly.
"It's okay, but I didn't expect there are still some guys who are not dead yet. Humph... You don't know how to cherish your life..."
Looking at the motionless body on the ground, Lauran said slowly, then he turned his head to look at Vanya and continued speaking.
"Thank you Sister Vanya for your reminder, otherwise my injuries might have affected my demeanor."
"It's okay... But Mr. Lauran, you still suffered a minor injury. Please let me treat you." At this time, Vanya looked at Lauran's arm and suggested. Lauran naturally had no reason to refuse, and he answered almost without thinking.
"Then I'll trouble you, Sister Vanya."
After getting Lauran's answer, Vanya immediately stepped forward, carefully tore off the clothes on Lauran's arm, put her hand on the wound on her arm, and then used her spiritual power to emit a gentle halo. Lauran immediately felt her wound healing quickly in a comfortable warmth. The wound, which was not that serious originally, healed completely in no time. During this process, Lauran was silently watching Vanya's focused actions in front of him.
After the wound healed completely, Vanya took her hand from above the wound, and then Lauran began to rub the skin where the wound was originally, and then shook her arm, carefully checking the condition of the wound. After seeing that there were no problems in all aspects, she smiled and said to Vanya.
"I have been healed by many healing priests before. Some priests who were not devout enough would itch for days after healing the wounds. Sister Vanya, the wounds you healed healed very well, without any strange feeling at all. Sister Vanya's piety is really as good as the rumors say."
"As a nun, piety to the Lord is the most basic element." Vanya continued to respond with a smile. At this time, Lauran looked at the dusk sky around her and spoke again.
"Okay, it's getting late now. We've already wasted too long here. Now that everyone has been rescued, let's continue to Junhai Fort."
"OK."
Just like that, after some episodes, Lauran continued to act as a guide to lead Vanya towards the ruling center of Mon Carlo. If there was any difference between the team before and after experiencing this episode, in addition to the fact that some members were injured at this time, the vision of many of them could now be seen by another will in the distance.
At this moment, in a high-end hotel on the other side of Mon Carlo, on the balcony of a luxurious suite, Dorothy was sitting on a comfortable chair, looking at the pirate fortress in the distance, sensing the team moving towards the fortress.
While Vanya was healing the city guards and gang members, she naturally buried Dorothy's puppet mark under their skin in the form of flesh and blood. In order to imprint the mark on the most critical Edward's tenth son, Lauran Gibbs, Dorothy planned a sneak attack by manipulating the corpse puppet on the spot, causing Lauran to suffer minor injuries. Under Vanya's healing, the minor injury healed and the flesh and blood mark was implanted into his body. Lauran will be the key for Dorothy to know the secrets of the great pirate.
"Next... it's time to wait..."
Dorothy murmured as she watched the sun sinking in the sky. Then, after thinking for a moment, she took out her "Sea Voyage Log" from her magic box, turned over a new page that had not been written on it, and began to write on it.
