Chapter 502 : The Goddess Girl
Varil Village, Church.
The place was packed with the wounded.
Their skin was beginning to fester, and the residual magic power in their wounds was constantly burning their bodies.
Trainee nun Noelle hadn't slept well for two days. She kept using the healing sigils provided by the empire, but the effect was not good.
Not long after using a healing sigil, the wound would reappear.
Insufficient manpower, poor treatment effects, and more and more people dying in front of Noelle caused the trainee nun to gradually break down and become numb.
At this moment, she came to a corner of the church with her sigil bag slung over her shoulder, arriving in front of a father and daughter, and took out a sigil to treat them.
The first-tier healing sigil began to glow green, reflecting on Noelle's somewhat weary face.
"Sister nun, you don't need to treat my dad anymore. He's already dead."
"Eh? When...?" Noelle's pupils shrank slightly, and the light from the sigil in her hand slowly faded.
"Just a little while ago. Dad said he really wanted to die, his body hurt too much." The girl didn't feel sad, because she saw the smile of relief on her father's face when he was freed.
Noelle was silent for a moment, took out a folded thin white cloth from her bag, and covered the man's body.
"Does it still hurt on you?" She turned to look at the little girl beside her and lifted the little girl's arm to observe it.
Like everyone else, the dark red magic power remaining in the wound was constantly eroding the girl's body, making it impossible for the wound to heal at all.
"It hurts..."
Noelle forced a smile. She didn't know what to do. This dark red magic power would eventually take this little girl's life, and the sigil in her hand was completely useless.
She mechanically took out a sigil, performing the action she had repeated countless times these past few days.
She couldn't save anyone, but at least she could make them less painful before they died.
After the treatment, she had no time to be sad, because her next patient was still waiting for her.
The church could only accommodate a limited number of people, and many wounded could only lie on the streets.
The Helia sisters were among them.
Noelle felt very sorry for these sisters. Their parents had all died in the magical beast attack, and they unfortunately had wounds on their bodies as well.
Every time she went for treatment, Helia always prioritized letting Noelle treat her younger sister, and Helia wouldn't make a sound even if the sweat on her forehead kept pouring out from the pain.
But even so, like everyone in the church, the lives of these two sisters were already on a countdown.
This feeling of powerlessness, this feeling of being able to only watch people die, finally became too much for Noelle. She suddenly collapsed to the ground, the cold floor of the church making her knees ache.
"Sister nun!"
Noelle, whose vision was starting to blur, saw everyone gather around her. She suddenly wanted to close her eyes completely, to get away from this nightmare.
But at this moment, Noelle felt a warm power suddenly pour into her body, and the pain in her body disappeared after a few seconds.
She slowly opened her eyes and found the entire church enveloped in a sky-blue light.
The patterns floating in the air were like elves, attracting the gazes of everyone around.
Noelle knelt on the ground, looking up at the strange phenomenon in the air, not knowing what had happened.
"S-Sister nun, my wound seems to be healed!"
Only then did Noelle come back to her senses. She noticed that the dark red magic power at the wound on the little girl's hand was disappearing bit by bit, and the wound was slowly starting to heal.
The wound that couldn't be healed with countless sigils was completely healed in just five seconds under this sky-blue light.
"This-this is...!"
The entire church erupted in surprise and cheers. Hope surged in the eyes of the people who had been sitting on the ground waiting to die.
Noelle supported herself with her hands on the ground and quickly ran out of the church.
The entire village was now enveloped in this cool and gentle sky-blue light, and everyone's wounds were slowly beginning to heal.
Noelle reached out her hand, catching the floating patterns in the air.
She felt the fatigue in her body swept away in this moment, as if she had been reborn.
The patrolling guards in the village hurried towards the village entrance. Noelle also followed behind them, wanting to see what this power was.
When she arrived at the village entrance and saw the young girl in front of the carriage, she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands, her pupils full of surprise.
So beautiful!
Noelle had never seen such a beautiful girl. Just looking at her made her feel full of hope.
This silvery-white girl was like a figure from a poster, her whole body radiating light, a very clear contrast to the black and white world around her.
The girl's eyes were closed, her hands clasped together, her long hair flying behind her.
That magical light that could heal everyone was emanating from this girl.
"Is... is she a goddess..." Noelle leaned against the wall, muttering to herself.
She was not a goddess.
She was Zervanie.
This was the "Moon's Radiance Holy Domain" she had released, healing all the wounded in the entire village.
Noelle ran towards Helia, she was most worried about these sisters.
From a distance, she saw that Helia and her sister were now embracing and crying, as if celebrating the complete healing of their bodies.
Noelle walked to the crowd and saw three people who looked like nobles.
The silvery-white goddess girl from just now was now squatting in front of Helia, her skirt hem hanging on the ground, stained with a touch of gray.
Zervanie wanted to reach out and wipe away Helia's tears, but the little girl dodged back a little. "M-My lady, I'm dirty... I'll dirty your hands."
"A girl's face is very important." Zervanie took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped Helia's face. "You're so pretty, I can't bear to let dirt cover your face."
"B-But..."
Helia wanted to say something else, but when she saw another young lady with pink long hair get off the carriage, her lips parted in mid-air, unable to speak for a moment.
Her amber eyes reflected her cute face, but her expressionless face carried a hint of distance.
Viloti got off the carriage. Seeing Helia's surprised and slightly scared gaze, she also realized that her expression was a bit scary.
She tried to force a smile, but after trying a few times, she felt it was very strange, so she simply gave up. She hid behind Felyn, not wanting to scare Helia.
Seeing this, Zervanie ruffled Helia's hair and smiled at her. "This cute young lady is my teammate. Don't mind her fierce look, she just doesn't like to talk."
"Th-Then is this big brother also your teammate?" Helia looked at Felyn on the side and said.
"No, no, no." Zervanie waved her hand. "He is my husband."
"Eh?"
"Ouch!" Zervanie covered her head with both hands, looked up aggrievedly, and looked at Felyn who had just tapped her on the head.
"Don't talk nonsense, we're not husband and wife yet." Felyn also squatted down in front of Helia. "How is it, is your body completely healed?"
"Mhm! Thanks to your wife's treatment, your wife is really amazing, just like a goddess."
"No, she and I are not actually husband and wife... but she is indeed very amazing."
Hearing Felyn's praise, Zervanie was stunned for a moment, then moved two steps towards him, getting closer.
The trainee nun Noelle came before Felyn and the others at this time, looking at the three young people who were out of place with their surroundings.
"My lords, may I ask who you are..."
She had just seen Zervanie and Felyn being very intimate, and Viloti behind him also seemed very clingy to Felyn, so Noelle asked Felyn.
The guard at the side spoke first, explaining to Noelle what had just happened.
"So you are lords from the Royal Capital District..." Noelle's gaze couldn't help but linger on Felyn. Realizing this, she quickly averted her eyes. "You have saved Varil. On behalf of the villagers, I thank you. We will definitely cooperate fully with your future mission."
The guard at the side reminded, "Sister nun, could I trouble you to find a clean residence for the lords?"
"I can... but..." Her gaze fell on Felyn again. "But there's only one room left for tonight..."
