Chapter 235: Going for a checkup. (2/2)
“Awoo…”
“Thank you Dyana”
Agni replied with a weak howl, luckily after receiving so once again
“After I clear things up, we’ll probably have to get Agni in through the back door so just wait for a ”
“It’s fine, take your tio in then”
Thuss everyone besides Agni and Dyana ate-like door
“H called the Sun Church it’s awfully chilly in here”
Elodia shi+vered slightly after going into the building with a high ceiling The drop in te too extreme Luckily Sister Kassia wasn’t far from the entrance
“We were lucky, think they just finished with the serh those, just sounds like gibberish todown froe circular stained glassbehind it that concentrated light there during certain hours When it wasn’t ht would focus down from a side hile the priests perfors you to the church, have you finally decided to devote yourself to the radiant lady? It would be a pleasure to praise the sun with you and your companions”
Sister Kassia spotted Roland the moment he entered the church For so to convert hiion He wasn’t sure why but perhaps she was just thick-headed and unable to accept that he wasn’t interested Luckily this would only allow him to ask about the favor
“Sister Kassia, It’s nice to see you… I require some help but I’m not sure that this is the best place to speak about it…”
After arriving here he noticed that the church was filled out with believers They were kneeling on the ground and praying with their hands together They did it in a very siinal world
“Not the best place to speak? There is nothing that needs to remain a secret under her watchful eyes!”
“Ah yeah, I thought you would say that… What if I tell you that I knohat really happened in Reeka and the problem is a lot more serious than the church wants us to believe”
Roland was not sure if every person in the church was infor that the inquisitors were involved hile the priests were left out of the picture People like Kassia were here to offer comfort and heal people, they were not meant to interact with the cult forces outside the church
“What is this truth you speak of…”
“Yes, it involves the Abys…”
“Don’t speak their name here!”
Before he could continue Kassia raised her voice slightly while placing her hand over hisabout the cult fro welcomed here With the problem it caused in Reeka he knehy
“You must excuse me, I’ve acted out of line”
Kassia pulled her hand ahile quickly bowing Soon she turned her face to the side where a door was
“Please followtowards Elodia and Bernir The two did so towards the new location The door led to a narrow corridor that was connected to some rooms So prayers There was even one producing holy water, indicated by the sparkly glow co from the bottle it was in
“This is my bed-chamber, please co into a nun’s bed-chae s in Before he could peek his head inside he was smacked by Elodia
“Hey, as that for?”
“Don’t think I didn’t see where those eyes were looking, I’ if you don’t stop”
“P-please anything but that!”
He could only roll his eyes at the panicked half-dwarf His assistant liked to boast about hoas the ht up he started behaving like a puppy
“Please don’t cause a scene, let's just go in”
There was no time for this so he decided to place his hand on Elodia’s shoulder Thankfully she was quick to let this matter rest while they were inside the church Bernir was clearly touched and a bit sly had his back in this situation Though after one stern look from Elodia he quickly turned his face to the side
“Would you like so to drink, we do have the best water that her radiance gifts us!”
“Hm… holy water could perhaps do the trick?”
While Kassia offered Roland a drink he conte on the parasites This blessed water was one of the most praised products of the church, it could be sold in bulk and was cheap to produce
It was nowhere near the potency of an elixir but could help out against low-level undead and deested by such a monster it would act similarly to a poison effect just like the elixir that he fed to the abyssalfro I expected Mr Wayland to drink…”
“No I ht take a while, how much do you know about the Reeka incident?”
Kassia didn’t seem well informed, she was a tier 2 class holder and a priest but not really someone in a leadershi+p position Even in this church, there were others on the same level and all of them would need to answer to any tier 3 priest if theyspecific, but I’uess that’s one way to put it”
Finally, after the door was closed and everyone was seated Roland started to explain everything He glossed over most of his battles to not worry Elodia but he did mention the parasite problem The moment he started to describe the monstrosities that people turned into if the little e
‘W-wait Boss, are you telling me that I could have one of those worms inside et it out?”
“Well… yes but there is an easy way to get rid of them”
“T-there is?”
Bernir started to panic but soon let out a sigh of relief after Rolandwith Kassia becaure out if they could have been infected in any way
“These monsters can’t stand divine spells, if they are exposed to them they should easily die”
“Should?”
Asked Elodia as she didn’t like the sound of those words
“Yes, I don’t kno time affects this…”
He didn’t want to worry them but he had no idea if those larvae could be killed after living in a host for a long period of time It could have already been too late for the people that lived in Reeka If he didn’t see Loreena ree, he would not be so sure about a cure even existing
“So, this is why I have coic to examine my companions…”
The cat lady was shocked by the revelation, her hand covered her mouth but he could clearly tell that she was shaken Yet withouta beat she just nodded when Roland posed his request of healing his friends With proper guidance froies on the spots that the parasites resided in and hopefully remove them if they were there
