Chapter 123 The Courage to Live

Ina Town, Blockade

"Please wait a moment and let the child relax."

Mo Tan whispered a word of advice to a pale orc woman, then raised the cross in her hand and shook it gently.

The light golden holy light gradually lit up on the cross, exuding bursts of warmth, and Mo Tan's pair of pure black eyes also gradually overflowed wisps of light.

The originally clear field of vision gradually became a bit hazy, and the target Mo Tan was looking at gradually became blurred. The trembling orc child hiding in his mother's arms had turned into a hazy white outline in his eyes.

【Fortunately, it's just malnutrition...】

Mo Tan slowly put down the cross, smiled at the boy who became clear again in his vision, and then nodded to the orc woman: "No problem."

"Thank you! Thank you!" The emaciated orc woman burst into tears of joy, and saw her kneeling down on the spot as soon as her legs softened, hugging her child tightly while whispering to Mo Tan: "Thank you You, honorable priest, thank you, thank you!"

Mo Tan just shook his head: "It's just a little effort, so the next one is..."

"My husband!" The woman leaned over to pick up the child, pointed to the tall orc man at the front of the line, and whispered to Mo Tan: "Since my child and I are fine, he should be healthy, right? ?”

Mo Tan nodded slightly and said: "I hope so, please wait a moment... Are you ready?"

The last sentence was addressed to the orc man who had already walked in front of him.

"Yes, I'm ready, my lord pastor." The other party nodded respectfully, and then showed a naive smile to the mother and daughter who had already crossed the blockade.

"Be careful……"

But the sound of the dice reached Mo Tan's ears at this moment: "The guy in front of you has a weapon in his cuff, you'd better call him to me and Barca!"

From the corner of his eyes, Mo Tan saw the dwarf thief not far away looking at him vigilantly, and at the same time made a few gestures to himself, but he didn't seem to hear it, he just raised the cross in his hand again, rather In order to transfer the little "magic power" left in the body to the right hand and both eyes at the same time, he activated the skill.

【Eye of Dawn】

Holy Optics Active Skill

3. During the activation of this skill, you will lose the ability to see things normally
[Remarks: True purity is when there is no code in the eyes, but codes in the heart]

The remark is very charming, but this is not the point...

[Eye of Dawn] This skill was taught to Mo Tan by Pastor Owen, who had been in charge of checking everyone before, because the old pastor had almost exhausted all the magic power in his body ten minutes ago, and Mo Tan stopped it immediately. For the former who wants to continue to perform his duties, and ask the other party if he, who is also a pastor, can help...

Then he learned the skill of Eye of Dawn, and triggered a side mission, the content of which was to replace Owen in the identification work during the next inspection period, and he could not make any wrong judgments.

So the scene at the beginning of this chapter appeared...

[Eye of Dawn] cannot be said to be a cool and good skill, and its actual combat value is close to zero. First of all, it can only be activated on one target, and in the process, the caster's field of vision will change, except for the current Everything outside the target becomes a mosaic, and the target becomes a... less blurry mosaic, and it's not cheap.

However, the effect of this kind of simple identification work is quite good, and Mo Tan also has the talent of 'piousness', which allows him to quickly recover mana points without moving in place, and his battery life is also guaranteed.

There is only one problem...

It was the conclusion that he couldn't use the system to give directly, otherwise the Eye of Dawn would enter a 30-minute cooldown, which undoubtedly significantly increased the difficulty of the task.

You must know that we click the keyboard in front of the computer to activate the skill and travel to a magical world to make a big fireball. It is completely different. For the former, you only need to pick a position and move your fingers to complete it, but for the latter, you need to perceive the day. What is the element of virtue, and then strictly follow the correct steps to cast spells, the difficulty is definitely two concepts.

So Mo Tan was even a little desperate at first...

But it turns out that the actual operation is not as difficult as he imagined.

First of all, no matter whether the system will give a conclusion or not, the judgment of 'a buff or debuff effect will be observed the moment the skill is activated' is absolute, so if the opponent does not have any abnormalities after the skill is activated, then it is fine.

And when any unknown effect is observed, the outline of the current target in Motan's field of vision will change. According to the repeated confirmation with Father Owen, he has basically been able to determine the specific characteristics of the plague-infected person, which is— -green!

If there is green anywhere on the snow-white outline, whether it is dark green, light green, grass green or emerald green, it can basically indicate that the other party is infected. Those who are terminally ill are all green, and those who are infected and have not yet spread in a few places will be divided into green... …

Fortunately, that old brother hasn't had an unfortunate forehead disease so far, otherwise it would be too miserable.

The other traits of black sandalwood are not easy to judge, but combined with the situation of the observed person, such as many refugees with yellow and thin faces before, he can roughly guess part of it. The specific manifestation of malnutrition is that the outline that originally exuded fluorescent white gradually tends to be transparent. This, if you starve for a long time, your stomach will turn gray, just like the orc kid before.

And his father...

【Sure enough...】

Mo Tan just observed for a few seconds before lowering the cross in his hand, sighed lightly, and shook his head to the still smiling orc man in front of him, "I'm sorry."

"what!?"

"father!"

The orc woman who had been relieved for a while was suddenly struck by lightning. Her hands holding her son tightly were trembling, her red and swollen brown eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot eyes, and her hoarse voice was filled with tears: "Impossible, No, my lord pastor... You must be wrong, my child and I are fine, my husband cannot be infected! Isn't that right? Isn't it?"

When the last few words were spoken, the wife was already in tears.

"Mom?" The boy who was startled by his mother asked with some panic, "What's the matter? Can't Dad come with us..."

But the orc man shrugged his shoulders, and smiled dotingly at the children not far away: "Yes, Dad can't go with you, you have to listen to your mother, although she often makes trouble for no reason, loses her temper, and doesn't care about you." Be reasonable, make a fuss over a molehill, make a fuss, make a fuss about nothing...but you, a bastard, still have to take it easy."

"Come here!" The wife shouted with red eyes, "I'll kill you #￥@%..."

"I can't make it through." The husband put on an expression that he didn't want to be spanked, and said happily, "You can't make it~"

Mo Tan quietly activated [Eye of Dawn] again, staring at the tall and strong orc man in front of him, but the result was not the same as before. The dots of miserable green are gradually connecting together...

Undoubtedly a severe infection.

"Master Pastor! Please take another look, and... check him again..." The wife could no longer hold back the vicious expression on her face, sobbing as she begged Mo Tan: "One time, one time... it is good……"

But her husband waved his hand at Mo Tan, turned to the woman and said, "Don't let the pastor waste your time, I know my body very well...it's just that I haven't told you two, I never told you about it." I started to vomit blood the night before, and at noon yesterday, my left arm also started to feel numb, and I guess it will rot in two days, so don’t worry about it, and take the child away.”

"I'll accompany..." The wife took a trembling step forward, and then...

"Don't come here!" The husband yelled sharply, and stretched out his hand to pull out a tattered wooden handle dagger from his cuff, and before the flying dice arrived...

He aimed it at his chest.

The wife froze.

The dwarf thief who had drawn his short blade and ran to him was also stunned.

"I'm sorry, shrew." He made a face at his wife, and said with a smile, "Take care of that little bastard, he will do as you please, and if you don't take care of it, you may be beaten to death when you go out."

"do not……"

"My lords, please help me stabilize that bitch, don't let her do stupid things." The big man glanced at the dice and ink sandalwood, held the dagger firmly in his hand, and then stabbed hard at his chest: "I'll just..."

"do not want!"

Bang! !

A sharp arrow of light hit the dagger impartially, flying it viciously before it pierced through the owner's heart.

The big man just stayed where he was, his wife, kids, dice... I mean the dice on the side were all dumbfounded.

"Well, it is indeed much stronger than before."

Mo Tan, with a lingering light still lingering between his fingers, nodded, and smiled slightly at the eight-foot man in front of him: "What do you think of this condensing light arrow?"

"My lord pastor..." The man smiled wryly at Mo Tan, who knocked his weapon away just now: "The power of your condensed thing just now is not bad, but it was hard for me to muster up the courage to strike! You are so After a toss... I have to do ideological work for myself again."

While playing with the cross in his hand, Mo Tan casually glanced at him: "Is that so? Does it take a lot of courage to commit suicide?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense..." The man curled his lips: "I'm afraid of pain."

"Suicide is very simple." Mo Tan shook his head, then pointed at the dice beside him: "It's also very simple to die without pain. This skilled thief next to me can definitely make you easily hit the streets..."

"Hey, hey!?" Dice rolled his eyes: "Do you think I'm addicted to killing people?"

"Master Priest, you..." The orc woman chewed tears in her eyes.

"I don't want Dad lying on the street, Liang!" The child also shouted beside him.

"Look~" Mo Tan shrugged his shoulders at the big man, "I think it takes more courage to live..."

The other party was silent.

Mo Tan glanced at him, and continued: "Of course, you have already been infected with the plague, so it is absolutely impossible to leave here, and even if you don't die now, you may die in a few days, and the death is even more painful, but... it is not hopeless .”

"What do you want to say?" The big man scratched the back of his head and said with a dry smile, "Then am I dead or not?"

"The two saintesses of the Aurora Sect have arrived in Misha County a few days ago." Mo Tan pointed to the distance and said softly: "They are in Hofer City in the north, if..."

Dice coughed dryly beside him: "You mean Xi, buddy."

"Uh, I'm sorry." Mo Tan smiled awkwardly, then pointed in the opposite direction, and said in a deep voice to the big man in front of him: "So you can go to the north to try your luck, and then... um, pray Blessings of the goddess, even though there is a great possibility that you will still die, if you can get there alive, they will never hesitate to lend a helping hand."

The orc man clenched his fists and said with a wry smile, "This journey may be the last journey of my life..."

Mo Tan nodded: "That's right, it's far less easy than rubbing your neck directly. You may be in pain, suffer a lot of torture along the way, and eventually die on the road or in the long queue without any miracles happening, but no matter what ...there is still a glimmer of hope."

"I see." The man nodded vigorously, then turned to his wife, and said seriously: "I plan to listen to the pastor's words and go to Hoover City to try my luck. If... I mean if... I If you are lucky enough not to die, you must..."

The wife nodded vigorously, broke down in tears: "I will definitely wait for you to come back..."

"You must forget what I just scolded you!" The man said sadly: "I really didn't mean it! I just wanted to have a mouthful before I died!"

wife:"……"

Mo Tan: "..."

dice:"……"

a minute later

"Go!" A certain shaman who was urgently called over turned to the man of the same clan and shouted: "Why is your wife so strong! I can't stop it! Run!"

The orc man with weak legs nodded stiffly, looked at his daughter-in-law who was blocked by Dice and others not far away, sighed softly, and bowed slightly to Mo Tan in front of him: "Thank you, Mr. Priest... "

"It's okay, come on."

"I have one last question."

"You said."

"You've been talking about going north, but you haven't pointed to north once, so where should I go..."

Mo Tan: "..."
