Chapter 123: Ser Slow's Serious Illness

Cairns then rushed to the temple of the goddess of care. Facing the surprised gaze of believers who were praying devoutly, Cairns rushed in directly.

Jiang Junming put down the potion in his hand and went out to greet him. Why was Cairns looking for him so anxiously?

Idria curled his lips contemptuously. In her opinion, Cairns resisted the convening of the temple because his father was one of the nine members of the city council and openly refused to participate in the action of treating the Twilight City people. What else can I say to such a person?

When Jiang Junming saw Cairns, he was also shocked. Cairns looked gray and had obviously exhausted his energy and exhausted. His eyes were covered with blood, which was scary red, and it looked like he was about to drip bleeding.

"Junming, I can find you." Keynes's voice suddenly became hoarse, holding the wall with his hands, almost falling down.

"What's wrong with you, Cairns?" Jiang Junming asked in confusion.

"Junming, please go and save my father. He is sick." Keynes held the wall and sat slowly on the ground, but his eyes kept looking at Jiang Junming, with blood-covered eyes full of begging eyes.

Jiang Junming was stunned. Sir Slow should be a very status person. How could he lack the divine arts treatment of the priest? If there is divine arts treatment, cholera germs are nothing.

Idria was even more surprised. As one of the nine members of the city council, Sir Sloe is the most prestigious person in this city. How come he lacks the treatment of priests or magicians? Why can't he cure it with divine art? Judging from Cairns' appearance, Sir Sloe is probably not going to be able to do it. Besides, Sir Sloe has a family magician at home. Even the divine arts of the priests are not needed at all, so why is he so anxious?

Besides, what is the use of coming to Junming for things that even priests and magicians cannot do? Is Keynes crazy? He didn't even go to Chenguang Church to find the great priests, but instead came to Jiang Junming for this kind of thing.

Jiang Junming didn't know what was wrong with Sir Slow. Seeing Keynes' anxious look, he didn't waste time and said, "Let's go now."

Cairns heard Jiang Junming agreeing to his request. He tried hard to stand up. The person who followed him supported Cairns, turned around and walked out.

When Jiang Junming walked out of the temple, he looked back and wondered why Master Ilaina hadn't come back yet. Could it be that he wouldn't come back as she said? Thinking of this, Jiang Junming shook his head and tried his best to drive away all the bad thoughts in his mind.

Idria and Peta hesitated for a moment, and followed Jiang Junming to get on Cairns' carriage, intending to see what disease Sir Slo had.

After the group left, the gangsters who were cured by Jiang Junming began to gather together and whisper to discuss, and then someone went to ask if the goddess in black was in the temple where the goddess cared for.

Among the hooligans, there was a man hiding in the corner and began to disguise. Soon, when he walked out, he became like an ordinary poor man, with a simple smile on his face, a calm and simple face, and a piety towards the goddess of caring.

"Go quickly." The gangsters were not surprised at all. Obviously, they were all familiar with the gangster's disguise skills.

The disguised gangster did not attract the attention of the poor people around him, pretending that his body had not yet recovered. He followed the other poor people in a staggering manner, waiting for the old women in the temple to arrange for them to enter the temple to pray.

When he was about to enter the temple and passed by the old woman, he asked politely: "Is the priest of the temple? Are you talking about the older goddess wearing a black robe? I have expressed my gratitude to the little priest and want to thank her for her treatment for me and my family."

The old woman said gently, "Prince Ilaina is not in the temple." After that, she said kindly, "Every time she leaves, it will take a long time to come back. Don't wait. If you have this intention, you can come back in a few days."

The disguised gangster thanked the old woman very much and walked into the temple like other poor people to pray.

After he came out, he walked into the corner and returned to his previous outfit unknown.

"It will take a long time for the priest Ilaina to come back, and it will take a few days at the earliest." The disguised gangster squatted beside the others and whispered.

This was the same as the hooligans' speculation. After it was confirmed, the hooligans looked at Sula greedily, as if they were looking at a pile of silver coins.

"Then find an opportunity to steal the boy and sell it." A fierce gangster said, with a wide finger on his chin squirming.

"Will the person who steals the temple make the goddess of care angry and cause divine punishment?" A cowardly gangster asked in a low voice in a panic.

"Master Babu likes little boys. Look at Sura's current appearance, it will definitely be worth a lot of money to send him to Master Babu. If you don't want to do it, just get away and don't be jealous when you share the money."

When it comes to dividing money, all the hooligans' eyes turned red, like a group of greedy jackals seeing the lamb.

"What are you afraid of? You are just a child taken in by the temple. The goddess of care is treating those patients with epidemics. How can you care so much? That child is not even a believer, who will care about him?" said the gangster in the lead.

"Where is the little priest?" The cowardly gangster didn't want to offend the priest who cared for the goddess temple, but when he thought of the silver coins with silver light, he couldn't bear to let go and thought about all the difficulties very thoughtfully.

"Just you think more!" The gangster in the lead whispered: "How old is the little priest, you only know how to cure diseases, why are you afraid of him? And he is not here now, you are more skillful, who can know why the child is gone? If you please Mr. Babu this time, we may do some work in his caravan in the future. Isn't it much better than living in this place where you can't squeeze out much oil and water?"

After hearing what the gangster leader said, the other gangsters, including the somewhat timid gangster, were moved. A group of people gathered together and whispered to talk about how to do it.

Jiang Junming sat in the carriage, and Cairns beside him leaned weakly on the soft seat in the carriage. While urging the coachman to speed up, he arranged for someone to notify the priest that he must maintain his father for a while. In Cairns's view, Jiang Junming was the last hope of his family. If his father died like this, the entire family would face countless greedy gazes and sharp minions, and disappeared into the Twilight City.

"Keynes, what's wrong with your father?" Jiang Junming asked.

"My father got sick yesterday. Like those who were infected with this outbreak of the disease, vomited and had diarrhea." Cairns glanced at Idria and Peta who followed Jiang Junming into the car. Cairns knew some of the situations about Idria. Few people didn't know about the God of Morning Light in Twilight City. They followed them together, and they didn't have to worry about the leaked news. As for whether Jiang Junming can cure his father's illness, it depends on God's will. If it can be cured, it's nothing they can follow. If it cannot be cured, everyone will know about his father's death sooner or later.

After thinking about it, Keynes decided to tell the truth. At this time, it is the most important thing to let Jiang Junming know what kind of illness his father had. As long as he could cure his father's illness, everything would be easy to say.

"We have a family magician at home." Cairns said, looking at the magician around him. The magician's face looked a little ugly. He couldn't even use magic to heal him well. This was a shameful thing. The young master was also confused. After searching for a night, he actually went to the slums to find such a boy to treat the master. Is he crazy?

Cairns ignored what the family magician was thinking, and did not introduce the family magician to Jiang Junming, and continued: "The magician's healing magic began to work. People who had epidemics at home, including my father's disease, were cured. But my father's condition had just recovered and worsened. He did not continue to vomit or diarrhea, but he was in a coma, as if he was suffering a lot of pain."

Keynes' hands tightly grasped the light yellow satin on the comfortable seat of the carriage, and his fingers were pale. It seemed that only in this way would he feel better.

"The priest was sent to the temple, and I also invited the great priest, but the magical arts were useless. Now the priest uses the healing magic to maintain my father's life. I think about it over and over again. Since the magician's healing magic and the priest's healing magical arts are useless, maybe you have a way."

After hearing Keynes say, Jiang Junming pondered. Sir Slow should have been infected with the cholera virus at first, but after being cured, he fell into a coma again. It should be the cause of complications. What complications will cholera cause? Jiang Junming began to quickly recall the complications that cholera bacteria may cause. Because epidemiology is not a major discipline, large-scale infectious diseases in Jiang Junming's era have been controlled. They will only break out when a new virus appears, but targeted therapeutic drugs will be quickly developed. As for cholera, Jiang Junming has not seen any patient who is actually infected with cholera except for seeing it in the book.

"Can someone use evil magic or curse Sir Slo?" Idria asked. As soon as she finished speaking, she knew she was wrong. She smiled embarrassedly and said, "As Slo, the priests and magicians in the city will do their best to treat them. No matter what evil magic or curse it is, they will be driven away. If it is a very high-level evil magic or curse, there will be signs, and even the priests will not be able to see it."

"Yes, it shouldn't be a magic or a curse. Junming, are you sure?" Keynes's eyes looked at Jiang Junming with ardent hope.
