Quadruple split.

Chapter 124 Ask the Autumn
The inspection time is over, and the crowded crowd near the blockade is gradually dispersing. Those who think they are healthy rest nearby, waiting for the second inspection at night, and those who already know that they have been infected are just fluke. The people who came to line up went to the inside of the town. They might go to churches, mage guilds, alchemist guilds, etc. to try their luck. Those who crossed the blockade, some wanted to find a pleasant place to die, and some planned to go north to Hoover City with a glimmer of hope...

What Mo Tan said to that orc man before is actually not a rare thing, and the news that a big man from the Holy Church Union has come to Hoover City is not a big news, at least a few churches in Ina Town have already publicized it , but it didn't cause much reaction...

Hoover City was one of the places with the worst epidemic in Misha County some time ago, and the distance from Ina Town is not too close. It is not easy for those patients who are already infected to go, and any accidents will happen. Not unusual.

[Who knows if the news is true or not, what if those people just want us infected people to die far away? 】

[We just fled here from the north some time ago, and now they want us to go back, how is it possible! 】

【The plague first broke out from near the city of Hove...】

【Walk all the way back without eating or drinking, even if someone takes care of me, I may not be able to get there alive...】

【What's more, even if it really arrives...】

【Even if the Holy Church Union really sent someone...】

【Even if the plague can really be cured...】

【Is it our turn? 】

Many people think this way. Even if hope really exists, how likely is it to favor themselves?
No one knows, so...

"So it's because of these that most people don't want to leave?" After listening to Mo Tan's analysis, Owen couldn't help sighing deeply: "But as long as we go, there is still hope. Your Highness the Holy Maiden will definitely work hard to save everyone."

Mo Tan shook his head: "Hope is not fair. No matter how hard the savior works, it doesn't mean that everyone has a chance to be saved. To give a simple example, if you have the ability to cure the plague, but at the same time What are you going to do when thousands of people waiting to be rescued line up in front of you?"

"I will try my best to cure each of them." Owen replied decisively: "I will do my best."

"I believe you will." Mo Tan smiled, and then said: "But you are also human, and your magic power is limited. You also need to eat and rest, and you need to replenish your magic power. Then people who died of illness during this period How to do?"

Owen was silent.

Mo Tan said again: "Now let me assume that you have infinite magic power, don't need to rest, and can survive by photosynthesis, but it takes time for you to save people? When you save the hundredth person, you may be ranked ninth." The one hundred and ninety-nine died first, so it would be unfair to him to hope."

"I will treat the most serious person first." Owen whispered, "Although..."

"No, you don't need to." Mo Tan shrugged: "This idea is very correct, but if there is an infected person whose condition is not serious, promises you [-] gold coins and asks you to save him first, what will you do?"

The old man looked serious: "I will refuse."

Owen is a devout clergyman. Although he has no attainments in divine arts and is always just a low-level priest, the character of this old man is impeccable. Take the previous inspection as an example. If Motan did not If he comes here today, he will definitely exhaust his body and magic power to continue completing the task, just to keep those who have not been infected from danger earlier, but...

"I believe you will not be swayed by those foreign things." Mo Tan said so, but then suddenly changed the subject: "Well... By the way, you must know many other priests, right?"

"En." The old pastor nodded as a matter of course. Although he spent most of his life in this small town, Owen knew quite a few other priests.

"Then do you think all of them can be like you, unwavering under all kinds of irresistible temptations?" Mo Tan narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out an index finger and shook: "I mean, every time one person."

The old man was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head with a complex expression: "I dare not say so."

Although Owen really wanted to tell the young man in front of him that he believed everyone would do the same, but this kind of thing is unrealistic and wishful thinking...

Not to mention everyone, among other clergymen in Owen's impression, those who can do it can be said to be one in ten.

He knows this kind of thing, Mo Tan also knows, Mo Tan also knows that he knows, he also knows that Mo Tan knows that he knows, Mo Tan also... sorry...

"Yes, no one dares to say that~" Mo Tan spread his hands and said, "It's just human nature, the clergy are also human, and we can't be exempt from it."

The fact is that, whether it is in reality or in the world of innocence, there are no absolutely noble groups and groups. The setting of a bad group, a good group, and a nest will always appear in imagination , and it is not a reliable conjecture.

In many stories, in the name of kindness and justice, an organization full of scum and bastards from top to bottom is pure nonsense, and the Notre Dame institution whose members are all compassionate is even more nonsense...

Where there is light, there is shadow. Whether it is religion, government, business, hospital, or non-profit organization, the people in it are satisfied with 'both...and...and more...' 'This pattern is used to make sentences with conditions.

"So you mean..." Owen looked at Mo Tan with mixed feelings, he was a little confused about what the young man in front of him wanted to express.

"I just hope you don't worry too much about everyone." Mo Tan looked around at the people around and said softly: "We will try our best to save the victims, but not everyone can be saved."

At least that's what he thinks now...

Owen, who has been comforting everyone loudly after the inspection, and urged everyone to go to Hofer City to seek rescue, smiled bitterly: "Is this why you chatted with me?"

Mo Tan shrugged his shoulders: "That's right, although it's just some remarks that don't hurt your back when you stand up and talk, but the fact is that those who desperately want to find a chance for themselves will take action without your persuasion, and if everyone Believe us, they all flocked to Hofer City...whether they can pretend to be there is also a problem, and the two saintesses didn't bring many people this time."

"Perhaps that is indeed the case." The old pastor nodded, although he was still a little bit uneasy, but he was very clear that what Mo Tan said was not wrong, and he even had some reservations.

And at this moment, the dwarf thief Dice and the orc shaman Basa, who had been maintaining order not far away, also wandered back, and brought a person behind them...

A child to be precise.

A little girl, a very sweet and lovely little girl.

"Grandpa Owen!" The girl, who was half a head taller than the dice, saw the old pastor standing opposite Motan from a distance, shouting cheerfully while running over: "I'm here to find you!" !"

The old pastor, who originally planned to chat with Mo Tan for a few more words, was so happy when he saw this little guy, he patted the girl's head dotingly, and asked with a smile: "Why? Are you running here?"

"Because you promised me to tell a story yesterday!" Wenqiu said to Owen, playing with her two long ponytails, laughing and joking, "I just pretended to run away to find you, and I surprised Sister Mona. Then she deliberately took her back to the church, lied to her that after sleeping well, she went back to the room and climbed the window to sneak out to find you~"

Dice glanced at the girl with some resentment, curled his lips and said: "This girl is definitely a good material to be a thief. I almost missed her just now, just like Nikaqiu in the foggy forest~"

Owen glared at him: "Go, go, what kind of thief is stealing! Xiao Wenqiu is doing well."

The girl turned around and stuck out her tongue at the dice: "Uncle Dice, don't be angry, you won't grow tall if you are angry."

When Dice heard this, he almost lost his breath...

"Huh? Who is this big brother?" A thief who asked Qiu Chong who was pretending to be angry shrank his neck, and then looked at Mo Tan with a pair of big pale golden eyes: "I haven't seen it before."

Mo Tan smiled: "My name is Hei Fan, hello."

"Hey, my name is Wenqiu." The girl nodded obediently, then pointed to the holy book on Mo Tan's waist and the cross wrapped around her wrist, tilted her head and asked, "Big brother is also a pastor. Come with us?"

Mo Tan froze for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I'm going to Hofer City, I've been delayed here for a long time, so..."

"Hei Fan." Pastor Owen suddenly said at this moment: "I have something to ask you, so can you go back to the church with me first?"

[The side quest has been triggered]

The system notification tone immediately rang in Mo Tan's ears.

……

ten minutes later
Ina Town, Aurora Church, a certain room
"You want me to bring Wenqiu to Hoover City?"

Mo Tan sat on a slightly old chair, with a hesitant expression on his face.

The old pastor sighed softly: "That's right, since you plan to go over there to join His Highness the Holy Maiden and the others, then I hope you take that girl with you, Wenqiu's body is still healthy, and she hasn't been infected with the plague, but After all, she is still a child with very weak resistance, and I and other people in the church are worried that something will happen after a long time..."

"I can understand." Mo Tan nodded, and then smiled awkwardly: "But I don't have much experience in taking care of children, and this journey may not be safe, so I'm a little worried that I won't be able to protect her..."

What he said made sense, but it wasn't the point.

In fact, the reason why Mo Tan didn't immediately agree to Owen was mainly because of his identity.

He is not just an ordinary Dawn Sect priest, but also a player!
And he is also a player whose online time is very unstable...

You must know that Ina Town is not close to Hofer City, even if Mo Tan is riding Xiaobai and rushing all the way, it is impossible to reach there in one day, let alone bring a child.

Then the problem comes...

What should I do if I get disconnected in the middle?
It's okay when I'm alone, but it's okay when I fall.

But if you bring that girl named Wenqiu...

As a player, Mo Tan is easy to talk about, but what about the little girl?
Whether he is offline in the form of disappearing or passing out, the consequences will be disastrous.

【No, I have to find a way to refuse! 】

Mo Tan thought so.

"I understand your concerns." Owen whispered.

【Do not!Sir, you really don't understand! 】

"But Wenqiu is a very obedient child, so he shouldn't cause you any trouble..."

[I'm afraid I'll cause trouble for her! 】

"Moreover, our town of Ina is on the edge of the epidemic area, and many people come here every day. Those of us who are clergy and dice are fine, but children with poor physical fitness are easily infected. .”

【uncle!I understand the truth! 】

"In addition, that girl is restless at all, she always appears and disappears all day long, and sometimes she can't be found if she doesn't pay attention. It's really worrying."

【Didn't you say she was obedient before?Uh...wait a minute...]

"Really, I couldn't find it no matter how hard I searched, and then I always ran back from outside the church or got out of some corner for no reason. You said that if something goes wrong..."

【Um! ? 】

Hearing this, Mo Tan finally couldn't help interrupting Owen's rambling: "Wait a minute, can you tell me where Qiu came from first? Is it a child from the town, or..."

"No." Owen immediately shook his head and said, "Xiao Wenqiu appeared in the town a few days ago. At that time, the epidemic situation here was not so serious. Mona and a few apprentices happened to be going to buy a batch of things that day, but they came back She was already at the door of the church when I was here, and I didn't notice it when I stayed here..."

Mo Tan pondered for a moment, then got up and said, "I'll go and talk to Xiao Wenqiu."

After that, he quickly left the room.

……

Moments later, Mona's Room, Apprentice Priest
"I'm sorry~ I'll just have a little chat with her." Mo Tan apologized to Mona in front of him, "I'm sorry for your inconvenience."

The latter smiled and shook his head and said, "It's okay, I've already taught her a lesson, you two can talk slowly."

Then he stretched out his hand and squeezed Wenqiu's little face, and left the room with red eyes

Mo Tan looked down at the girl in front of her with wide-open eyes and a little question mark floating on her head...

According to visual estimation, he is eleven or twelve years old, with long double ponytails, and a small face with pink makeup and jade carvings, full of vigor and vitality. A pair of pale golden eyes are as clear as crystal, full of innocence and curiosity.

The priest's robe that was cut into a miniature version made her look innocent and lovely.

Clean, pure, innocent, innocent...

Wenqiu is such a girl who looks the same~
"Well, big brother, can I ask you a question?" Mo Tan squatted halfway in front of the curious girl, and stroked her little head.

"Okay~" Wen Qiufei nodded quickly.

"How many steps does it take to put an elephant in a refrigerator?"
