"Woo..." Anna whimpered.
Because Gavin beside her was covering her mouth.
Gavin quickly sent a message to her and warned: "You are not allowed to take the initiative to mention that you can regenerate, and you are not allowed to treat Little Brown for free. It's not that you are not allowed to be treated, but it needs to be done under my care." Make arrangements and nod when you understand.”
He really understands Anna’s character.
To put it nicely, it’s called kindness.
To put it bluntly, call her the Holy Mother.
Even if the Brown family had previously called her a demon priest and a demon illegitimate child, she would still use her regeneration necklace to help him heal for free.
After all, in her eyes, she has no consumption.
But Gaiwen is not that easy to talk to. Our ancestors have said, repay evil with kindness, how to repay kindness?
Repaying grievances directly and repaying kindness with kindness is the most correct way to deal with people.
Gavin has been instilling this idea into Anna for a long time, but the effect is not very satisfactory. This is not only related to Anna's nature, but also related to the God of suffering she believes in, who is the greatest Virgin in Faerûn.
Forcing the suffering of others, whether good or evil, onto oneself is not a holy act, so what is it?
Some people’s suffering is indeed worthy of sympathy, but some people’s is not.
"Woooo..." Anna nodded, indicating that she understood.
Gavin slowly let go this time.
Anna still respects Gavin's opinions as always.
She knew the reason very well and decided to obey his arrangement.
Because she knew that Gavin was a gentle and kind person, and would not really sit idly by. He would just give the Brown family a small lesson, asking them to correct their attitude towards themselves first, and then Treat him and clear his name.
Anna saluted Marina with some embarrassment: "Chief Priest, you are well. I wonder if you have received the letters and gifts I sent you before?"
This bust The chief priest is Anna's teacher.
Marina, the halfling priestess, did not reply directly, but looked Anna up and down. The surprise in her eyes became more and more intense, and finally she said in disbelief: "You are already an extraordinary priest. ? What have you done in the past year and a half? Have you slayed the dragon?"
No wonder she was so surprised, because her student already had a professional level that exceeded hers.
The equipment on her body was something she could never hope for in her entire life.
The priest's smock with Nestu's disguised aura on Anna's body can hide the magical aura from ordinary people, but there is no way to hide it from Marina who is interested in investigating.
"Extraordinary priest? You mean little Anna? How is this possible? She has only been a priest for a few days?"
"Do you think Priest Marina is joking?"
"No, does it mean that little Anna has really become a powerful extraordinary priest?"
Those watching the excitement around The Green Nest villagers also looked in disbelief.
For a small town like theirs, every extraordinary professional is a powerful being who needs to be looked up to and respected.
Because these extraordinary professionals are the foundation for their foothold in the wilderness, and it is they who prevent those monsters from easily invading this place.
"It's a long story. I'll tell the chief priest slowly in the future." Anna is not the little white flower she was a year and a half ago. She doesn't understand anything. Many things are not suitable to be said in public.
"Okay, I just have a lot to ask you." The halfling priest is also a human elf, and he quickly calmed down his emotions, "Does the Carbone couple know that you are back?"
"I don't know yet." Anna responded guiltily and apologetically.
"Then you should go back and see them first. In the past year or so, they don't know how much they have worried about you..."
Before the halfling priest finished speaking, there was a crowd in the crowd. There was noise again.
"Is it really Anna back?"
"Is it really our little Anna?"
The crowd parted automatically, revealing a middle-aged man and woman.
The woman's eyebrows were very similar to Anna's. She was holding a baby in her hands, followed by a timid half-grown girl and a little boy with a runny nose.
“It’s really Anna, it’s really our Anna who is back!”
"Anna, you are really my Anna!"
The middle-aged woman rushed up and hugged Anna, tears pouring out uncontrollably.
I don’t know whether it was the pain of being squeezed or the influence of the mother, but the baby in her arms also started crying loudly.
The scene fell into chaos for a time.
Anna, who was not good at expressing emotions, could only cry with her mother and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I should have come back, I should have come back, it's all my fault for being selfish. …”
"Just come back! Just come back! Just come back!" Mrs. Carbone did not mean to blame Anna, she just kept repeating.
For them, being able to see Anna again is already a lost experience.
After all, in a world full of dangers, once you leave home, the chance of meeting each other again is less than half.
Even if heaven and man are not separated forever, they will still be separated by distant and difficult roads.
Although for the past year and a half, Anna has been carrying letters home through caravans, and even sent back some valuable daily necessities.
But they didn't reveal much about their situation, so they couldn't help but think about it.
But they had their whole family with them, and there was no way to find Anna.
But the more this happened, the more guilty Anna felt.
Compared with the selfless love of her parents, she was much more selfish. She only considered the difficulties and accusations she would face when she came back, but never considered their feelings.
She has a kind nature. Even though the treatment spells have side effects, her temperament is still stable and she has no complaints. Her harmonious and loving family is indispensable.
"Let's go home." Compared to Mrs. Carbon, Mr. Carbon's mood was obviously much more stable. He was also wearing a priest's robe and the holy symbol of the God of Passion.
Anna is of family origin.
But this is normal. The most primitive units of most religions in Faerûn are not churches and monasteries, but families.
When pastors preach, they usually start with the people closest to them, and children are most easily influenced by their parents.
The more those gods whose teachings are extremely harsh, the more obvious this situation is.
"Yes, yes, yes, let's go home! Let's go home! Let's go home!" Mrs. Kara held the baby in her arms to Anna and said, "Look, this is your new brother Neo. When you left, I I just got pregnant with him. Look, he is so big now..."
"Wait, wait, wait... "The Browns were unwilling to let Anna go so easily. They looked at Anna as if they were grasping the last straw and said, "What did you mean when you said you could cast regeneration?"
"This..." Anna's eyes drifted to Gavin involuntarily, with a look of embarrassment on her face.
She is not good at lying, and she doesn’t like lying, but she agreed to Gavin.
"Miss Anna is the chief healer in our territory. She is in charge of hundreds of excellent priests and thousands of doctors. Naturally, she masters the art of regeneration." Gavin took the initiative and introduced them to them with a proud look on his face. Anna's identity.
At this time, everyone noticed the ordinary-looking young man who had been following Anna.
When Gavin approached Green Nest Town, he took the initiative to use super transformation and changed his appearance.
First of all, his charm value is too high and his appearance is not bad. If he doesn't suppress it, he will probably take away all Anna's brilliance. She is today's protagonist.
Secondly, he is now a celebrity regardless of age, especially since the Giant Plains is not very far from here, only separated by a troll mountain range, so there is no guarantee that his reputation will not spread here. If someone recognized him, he could easily get into trouble and would be seen as a sign of westward expansion.
There may be a day in the future, but not now.
Not to mention that his main energy is now in the desperate eastern region. Even if it is not there, it is not appropriate to continue to expand. His next main task is to strengthen internal construction and reproduction, as well as introduce more people.
"Hundreds of priests, thousands of doctors... Hey, young man, you don't even know how to brag. How big is your territory? Will you need so many doctors?"
"Most of all At least it has to be similar to Amn or Cormyr, but the chief healer there must at least be a legendary priest!"
"That's right, young man, what is the name of your territory? Listen!”
Many Green Nest villagers sneered at this and questioned the authenticity of what Gavin said.
“Have you heard of the Road of the Conqueror and the Army of the Conqueror? It was built by our lords, and Miss Anna was an important participant in it. She led the legion of amputees in the Army of the Conqueror. With the help of the medical team, countless amputees on the Dragon Coast have regained their lives." Although Gavin kept his identity secret, he was not prepared to let Anna continue to keep it secret, and there was no need.
Because his visit this time was not as simple as letting Anna visit relatives.
Instead, she is planning to let her parents move and move them all to their own territory.
As his strength continues to expand and he has more and more enemies, Gavin pays more and more attention to his high-level protection and anti-espionage work.
Anna is considered one of her core senior executives, so naturally she cannot leave her fatal weakness outside to be exploited by someone with ulterior motives.
Not only her, but other high-level officials will also be in this situation. It is just left to them to solve the problem on their own. Only when they encounter a situation that they cannot solve themselves will the territory directly intervene.
“The Road of the Conqueror? Are you talking about the brand new trade route that started from Tethyr, crossed the Kingdom of Amn and the Giant Plains, and finally headed from the Goblin Frontier to the Valley?”
“The army of conquerors you mentioned is one year The one who almost swept away the entire Dragon Coast and forced them to form a city alliance?"
"I think there is no second road in this world called the Road of the Conqueror, and there is no second army called the Road of the Conqueror? The army of conquerors!”
"Are you a participant in the Army of Conquerors? Your boast is even more exaggerated than the last one, haha... With Anna's magical healing skills, how can you join the Army of Conquerors? Haha... We are watching. She grew up!”
The name of the Conqueror’s Army and the Conqueror’s Road is big enough, and it has already spread to this small town.
Strictly speaking, Green Nest Town is also a beneficiary of the Conqueror's Road.
The Urden Trade Road on which Green Nest Town is located is a branch trade road that connects the trade road with the goblin frontier.
What restricted this trade route in the past was the rugged and difficult roads on the goblin frontier and the overgrown monsters.
When the Conqueror's Road was opened, the Urden Trade Road immediately became a natural central passage connecting it to the trade road. Passenger traffic increased rapidly. As the largest transfer station on this trade road, the town naturally had more business opportunities and gained more from it. Much wealth.
But these villagers never believed that Gavin and Anna were participants.
After a year of fermentation, the army of conquerors had long been rumored to be miraculous. How could Anna, a little girl they had watched grow up, be involved in such an earth-shattering thing?
“Have you heard of the regeneration gems produced in the Troll Mountains? The necklace Miss Anna is wearing is made of troll gems. It has powerful regeneration capabilities, including using it as a medium to perform regeneration spells. ." Gavin pulled out the regeneration necklace from Anna's neck.
Without the camouflage cover of the priest's robe, this huge alexandrite sparkled in the sunset, exuding a magical aura that even ordinary people could easily feel.
If it were Gavin himself, he would just sneer at the doubts of these small citizens and ignore them at all. He doesn't need to find a sense of existence from them.
When one day they need it, they will have no choice but to look up to him.
But now, it is to find face for Anna who has returned to her hometown and strengthen her self-confidence.
Not only did people in her hometown realize that she was no longer the teenage pastor she was a year and a half ago.
It also made her clearly feel the huge changes in herself.
"Regeneration gem? You are talking about the troll gem! Hiss...it is really the troll gem from the troll mountainous area!"
"I heard that this kind of troll gem is extremely precious. A small piece is worth tens of thousands. Little Anna’s piece is so big, it’s worth tens of thousands. Tens of thousands?”
“A necklace worth tens of thousands? I can’t imagine it!”
“Do you think it’s fake?”
>"Fake? What's with that powerful magical aura?"
"What's so rare about this! Those magic swindlers like to use spells like light to deceive those who don't know how to do it. When they buy it back, they find it's a piece of junk!"
"You yourself too I said it, it was a magic liar, did Anna need to lie to us?”
There are many knowledgeable people in Green Nest Town who recognize the troll gem at a glance.
They are not close but not far from the Troll Mountains. They have long heard about the production of recycled gems there. Many young people are even tempted by this and go to gold mining. Most of them never come back, so This gem is also known as "Devil's Temptation".
It means that it looks beautiful, but in fact, it is filled with endless despair and demands your soul.
"Little Anna, is everything he said true? Are you really a participant in the Conqueror's Army?"
Not only the Green Nest villagers didn't believe it, but even the Carbones looked in disbelief. , on the contrary, Priest Marina looked thoughtful.
Of course Anna would not dismantle Gavin, and what he said was true. She nodded and admitted: "Yes, I accepted Lord Gavin's adventure invitation and embarked on a journey together to find me. The road to healing
The army of conquerors is the great immigration launched by Lord Gavin to solve the problem of population shortage in the territory. Policy, by the way, I still have some memory phantoms along the way."
Anna rummaged in her combat backpack and quickly took out a thumb-sized spiritual crystal ball. With the infusion of magic power, a magical phantom immediately appeared in the sky, and the image projected inside was clearly about the army of conquerors.
This perspective should be from Anna's. It is all about treating various injuries, with Anna's narration.
This phantom projection stone is not a big phantom for publicity, but for medical science education.
Anna specially asked Regina to make it in order to make it easier to popularize basic medical knowledge.
If the Browns had seen this magic projection before, they would not have carried Little Brown around on his back without any treatment on his wounds. At least they would have known about the treatment on his legs. Apply an emergency bandage to temporarily stop the bleeding.
This medical knowledge projection only lasts for ten minutes, and it only shows the tip of the iceberg of the conqueror's army.
In other words, the army of conquerors serves as the background for medical education.
Even so, everyone present was still stunned.
Have they ever seen such a brand new thing? Ever since Anna started to play the magic projection, they have been controlled for more than ten minutes. They didn't even dare to breathe. After hearing the news, more and more people gathered. The entire street was filled to the brim, seriously affecting traffic, but no one cared.
Although magic projection has been researched for a year, this brand-new thing is still a long way from being fully popularized.
Even Gavin’s territory adopts a mobile tour model, and other areas cannot be taken care of for the time being.
Even if magic projection propaganda and sermons are launched in the future, priority will be given to starting from big cities like Waterdeep City or Ximen, rather than small towns like Green Nest Town with a population of less than 10,000.
If Anna hadn't been born here, if a small town like this wanted to be exposed to this new thing, at least it would have to wait until the magic projection propaganda was fully launched and expanded from the city to the countryside.
"This is really unbelievable, the magic is really wonderful, we just seemed to have really peeked at part of an army."
"But this does not mean that Anna has participated The army of conquerors, from beginning to end, There is no figure of her in it, only her voice."
"You have really watched for so long. Everything just now is clearly Anna's memory, and everything is from her perspective. What she really saw and heard ”
"Have you not discovered the real use of this magic? What is recorded above is clearly the basic medical methods of those doctors. If we can learn it, even if we cannot become doctors, we can still treat some injuries and avoid the cost of going to a doctor."
"That's true. It's a pity that I was just looking at the picture and didn't remember what was said!"
The Green Nest villagers looked at Anna again with obvious confusion. There is less doubt and more awe.
Powerful professionals are worthy of their awe, especially those powerful priests. They are not only the people closest to God, but also have the ability to save lives and heal the wounded, and bring back the dead.
Everyone may turn to them for help. (End of chapter)
