2: 6. The Shadowless Boy and the Inquisitor
"Do you have a child with no shadow?
"Yes."
An old man with an embroidered gold rim, caped in a white robe with a stuffed collar and a distinctive shaped cleric hat. He is the clergyman of the Parish of Marseille, the Guardian Temple of the Wind.
The clergyman had received ad hoc reports of parish clerics. A Protective Temple is a local temple organization that falls under the control of the Great Temple throughout the continent, where multiple Protective Saints are consecrated for each attribute. This was the patron temple of the wind attribute.
"Ha, an orphanage orphan witnessed alone on the beach. The orphan's story is that a shadowless boy wiped out seawater in a certain area without a cane to help a drowning toddler."
"What, are you making up stories about kids? Forget it."
The chief cleric, for the time being, signs the stacked documents with a feather pen.
"So, I wish I had..."
The cleric begins his explanation with great seriousness.
"Because the orphans are so loud, an orphanage cleric said he went to the beach with the orphans the next day. Then... he said it was a divine power."
Deception of divine power is the power of divine power that remains on the spot after exercising mighty divinity.
"The next day, but you stayed"
The Chief Cleric doubts his ears. If a powerful operator at the emperor level uses massive divine arts, some divine power may occur, but that also leaves about a few hours. It's hard to believe, for example, that it stays on a day-by-day basis.
"They still have divine power without disappearing. Several clerics have confirmed it."
Abnormal, the cleric gets excited.
"Turned off the sea water...? Negative divine use of water attributes."
"Is that so? He said he turned off the sea water in a cylindrical fashion. Can you do that in divine art?
It's divine power. If it's true that a concert is occurring, it's assumed that the technique used by the shadowless boy is divine art. But I've never seen or heard of such divinity. The chief cleric did the paperwork and only listened to the cleric for as long as he could.
A colorful light leaking from the stained glass leaves a fantastic air in the dim Grand Cleric Chamber. The flame of the candlestick was tightly loose.
"What is the lack of shadow in the first place?"
"Is it an evil spirit"
Nevertheless, evil spirits do not walk in grandeur during the day, and those who are not under the protection of God are divine powers. Not to make a mausoleum. That's what I came to the conclusion.
"The sighted boy has thin blonde hair and slightly white skin. There are no blonde, water-negative boys in the parish of Marseille."
It was a strange story. Even during the long tenure of the clergy, such examples are not remembered. Originally, negative attributes are quite rare attributes, so the operator of the negative attributes of the parish of Marseille of all attributes is remembered by the clergyman.
"Do the orphans of the witnesses remember the boy's face? Could be another parish god."
The chief clergyman flicks.
"It was far away, so it didn't seem like details"
In common sense, the fact that there was no shadow and the fact that a certain area of water was turned off was also a mistake in the child's holla, which would mean that he was just a surgeon with powerful negative attributes. The clergyman decided to keep in touch with the upper echelons. A child's sorcerer with mighty power is immature, but therefore sometimes has a rampage of divine power all over the city. To avoid that, we need intensive education in specialized institutions.
"Contact the heretic inquisition bureau. Like finding that boy."
"As you say."
The Divergent Inquisition Bureau of the Grand Temple. It was a subdivision specialising in the mediation of evil spirits, the solemnization of heretics.
A few days later, in all the temple parishes on the continent, a search directive for one child was issued.
…━━…━━…━━…
I don't know any such trends.
Pharma and the others completed their Merseil territorial inspection and returned to the Imperial Capital. I was away for about a week, so the pharmacy was closed during that time. Now, finally, when Farma was getting ready to go to work, one of the pharmacy's security knights, the captain of the guard, rushed into the mansion of de Medicis.
"A carriage stuck to the pharmacy!?
Bruno was also up and about to have breakfast with Pharma.
"Yes, the store doors and some of the merchandise are shattered. We were both on guard in the system, but it was morning, so I opened the lattice gate, and there were two wagons without you on that gap, to keep standing up, and I broke in. I couldn't stop it. While we're here, I'm sorry. I don't know who owns the carriage. There's no registration number either."
"What about the dispensing room?
The dispensing room is partitioned, in a sense, apart from the counter. The dispensary is the main body of the pharmacy. Farma cares if they haven't done it over there.
The dispensing room is safe.
"What was the load?
If it is a simple compound, Pharma can be erased and immediately reopened for business. With authentic sales worthwhile customers, there are many patients who were due to pick up their medication today after the holidays.
It's dirt and sand.
The knight's report was an abnormal one.
Oh, this is a temporary leave, and Farma gives up sales. By the opening time, we must make stickers in a great hurry.
"Well...... that's what the carriage comes in unattended"
My mother is worried. Lotte and Cedric also walked into the room and gazed at the crap air and shut their mouths.
"That's a form of business disruption."
Bruno, who finished his meal, unleashed a word he didn't want to say if Farma could.
"There are a lot of people who think it's not funny, it's horrible, it's harmful to sell strange drugs."
Physically unable to operate. Or dimensions that keep customers away from the store by making them think it's a noisy place.
"Maybe."
I had a bad feeling. MEDIQUE could get hit too.
"We need to get back to business as soon as possible. The more you rest, the farther away your guests' feet are."
Bruno said so, encouraging an early resumption of business.
Farma was surprised that Bruno wanted to reopen the pharmacy.
"This is"
"It's terrible...... the store is a mess"
When Pharma and Lotte and Cedric went to the pharmacy store, it was disastrous. Was the soil flowing into the store rotten, and the stench was stuck in? The store portion was mostly filled with dirt and sand. Barely as the knight says, the dispensing room is safe. Cedric, the divine user of earth, is a positive attribute, so he cannot remove dirt and sand. However, contaminated soil could be turned into purified soil.
"Purifier"
Cedric grabbed the wand and purified the soil by striking an activated chant.
"Thank you, Mr. Cedric. The smell is gone."
"I can only do this to this extent."
Cedric snorted remorsefully.
"What do you mean, this is!
The screams of Ellen, who rode a white horse directly from the Bonufois' mansion without knowing anything and has been at work, echo through the city.
"Ellen, would you take the medicine from the dispensary to MEDIQUE and do the pharmacy sales there? I'll send the patient that way."
Pharma entered a clean dispensing room that was isolated by a wall, dispensing all the patients that were supposed to come today, writing the patient's name on the medicine bag and depositing it with Ellen. Then, I also gave him the dispensing set and the medicine bottle.
"Because this is for everyone who's supposed to come today. 'Cause when a new patient comes, I'll write a prescription and turn it around to MEDIQUE."
"Yeah, yeah. Okay."
By this time, Ellen could have asked Pharma to dispense modern medicines that to some extent mimicked Pharma's treatment policy, but if he hadn't asked Pharma, he couldn't handle anything other than a patterned disease. I was able to prescribe herbs and other medicines in conventional pharmaceutical knowledge, but Ellen thought Pharma's medicine would work better, so I was switching prescriptions.
"Then Ellen, don't leave the iron gate on the MEDIQUE table completely open."
"What, you mean they might raid you too?
"Just in case, be careful. I want Lotte to take you there, too."
"Eh, I'll help you here!
Lotte doesn't seem willing to move.
"Okay, let's go, Lotte. The owner will do what he says."
"I asked for it."
"If a suspicious man comes, I'll get rid of him with divinity."
Ellen is an excellent water god, so Farma decided to leave it to her. Pharma has to stay here and freshen up the temples of reconstruction.
"What the hell... who did this to my shop?"
Old Jean, who came first before the store opened, was outraged as if he had crushed our house when he saw what the store looked like.
"I thought I could finally buy candy from today! And you can't even drink water!
Farma can't wait to hear about it, and retraces the "sailor's candy” in a store where the merchandise is buried and scattered in dirt and sand. A bottle with candy, fortunately, was on a shelf that was about to collapse. Pharma took it and handed it to old Jean every bottle.
"There's dirt on the bottle, but it's clean inside. Mr. Jean is a good customer, so I'll give it to you. When you reopen your store again, come and buy it."
"Whoa......! So much, can I have it for free!?
The old man Jean let his eyes shine and ran away holding every bottle. I don't think you're an old man. You're full of running, Farma thinks.
"Dear court pharmacist, don't let yourself down"
"Call me if you need anything I can do to help you"
"Let me help you"
The shopkeeper of the surrounding shopping district, who had been close to him, came out into the alley, feeling sorry for the disaster. I've been telling you to lend me your brother-in-law to clean up the wreckage of the carriage.
"Thank you, that helps"
Puffiness, puffiness and helping to clean up is growing.
It was pharmacy business hours and customers continued to come looking forward to opening for a long time. Seeing that the store is not in a state where it can be opened, he calls out to Pharma with his mouth, shakes his head, and returns with a painful face. Patients who were in need of medication guided them to store number two. The new patient told Pharma to write a prescription on the spot and take this to store number two.
If you're aware, a lot of the people in town were volunteering to help clean up.
"Gentlemen...... thank you!
When Pharma bows her head to the volunteers,
"Because this pharmacy is also necessary for us"
The sick regulars grinned as they sweated. Cedric said, "It looks like this pharmacy was rooted in the area already," and warmed his eyes.
"Help."
After a while, old Jean came back. Take ten or so musculoskeletal, half-naked men who seem to be bent. That Pharma is eating.
"Who is this prick?
"Not our young people. I like sailors' candy."
Old Jean uses them with his jaw and lets them help with Pharma's work. It was like the men of the sea, with tattoos of iridium and harbor names on their arms. They look like absolute obedience to old Jean. Old Jean is a retired fishery official, Farma speculated, but found nothing detailed.
Thanks to them, the earthbags were piled up and brought out of the store. In addition, the Empress, who had heard the circumstances, sent soldiers to increase MEDIQUE's security and help clean up. Noah, the Empress's lowest surname, came to see the site.
"Your Majesty, I was angry. He said he had been cocked in a store with the Imperial seal. I was scared to do it thoroughly."
Noah saw the rage and said she wanted to escape.
"What are we going to do, retaliate?
"I guess Solemn Qing. Do you have any idea who did this?
"I have too many thoughts to know"
The pharmacist guild is the main fate, but I can't say enough that it is necessarily. I don't have any proof. The Empress is going to crush me if I say something nasty like that, maybe the Guild of Pharmacists, so I'll stop doing things that could result in wrongdoing.
"Your Majesty said to give me a craftsman to fix the interior. If the dirt sand clears by the end of the day, we'll be able to build the store tomorrow and resume it later."
That's right, the Empress acts fast. It was Pharma who thanked the Empress for having her back shield.
"It's lunch, so let's take a break, good luck to you all. Thank you."
"Oh, I'll be here at noon."
"Thank you"
It was time to take a lunch break. In the morning, just doing the work, my clothes were dressed in dirt and sand, so I changed, and Pharma and Cedric finished their lunch in the dining room across the alley.
"It's going to be over by evening, Master Farma"
"Thanks to everyone who came to help."
Pharma and Cedric are outside the store, sitting on the bench and taking a break,
"Dear pharmacist, I have a patient. Please help!
Looking werewolf, a young woman approached Pharma.
"My father was working in flames, and he fell. It's right around the corner! I don't want to lose my eyes!
"I guess heat stroke. Okay, I'll go."
Pharma enters the store, picks up a visiting bag and rides her own horse. The woman also put her on the horse.
"Dear Farma, are you okay on your own?
Cedric speaks out worried.
"If it's not in your hands, I'll call for backup. I'll be right back."
"Okay, I'll recommend this one for work"
"Thanks"
I ran my horse as the woman guided me, and I came to the top of the hill off the Empire City. It was a beautiful hill overlooking the Empire City. Farma wonders if it's supposed to be right around the corner. It's an unpopular lonely place.
"Right here."
"Is this it?
With the woman, Pharma also gets off the horse.
(I wonder where someone is falling. What were you doing here?
"Um, the patient..."
It was when Pharma would say that or not.
From under the hill, horseback riding by men in white outfits climbed the hill in a row. The woman was gone at some point.
(Fixed!
Many of them were passive, and Pharma seemed to dwell.
All the men on horseback have canes. It's a clean divine battle. It's not a lynch of chimps.
"We are heretical inquisitors of the Great Temple Inquisition Bureau"
Everyone wore a white costume that appeared to be highly functional and resistant to the divine arts, and an armband of the Temple Saints.
"What can I do for you"
"By order of the Great Temple, I was searching for a shadowless, blonde boy"
(It's me! How long have they been following me?!?
Other than Pharma, yes, I don't even think I have a shadowless child.
"I didn't know you were walking in the daytime so grandiose, it was a detour"
"Why, you have no shadow"
Well sunny, it was a hill beneath a clear sky. At Pharma's feet, there is no shadow. If you wear thick clothes, the clothes can have a little shadow. But wearing thin clothes, there will be no shadow anywhere in him. The colors and shadows fall at the feet of the men.
"Evil spirits."
"No. It's not evil spirits!
Worst of all, maybe it's a spirit, but at least it shouldn't be an evil spirit. And Pharma thinks.
"Then what is it!
When Pharma was having trouble responding, one man, paralyzed,
"Hands up, ten steps back"
and blackmailed. Pharma takes ten steps back as he is told. It was grassless, flat ground there.
"Capture him! (Arrestation)"
A man jumped off a horse screamed, sticking his wand up to the ground and screaming. The superior junction against evil spirits is activated. Activation commands and divine power were injected into a precise theological formation that seemed to have been drawn in advance on the ground, red light poured out of the ground and the flash struck Pharma. However,
"Hey, what?!?
Leaving a loud explosion sound, the junction destroyed itself.
"The kingdom against evil spirits doesn't work," he said!?
"Well, I'm not an evil spirit."
How dumb the words sounded.
One man who tried to quickly see who he was,
"Uncover who you are!
"Tempête de la flamme"
Say so quickly, or you will strike a flame-activated chant and unleash a fiery attack.
Suddenly, the battle began.
Pharma throws her medical bag on the hill, holding her left hand, holding her breath and producing a lot of nitrogen without chanting. At the same time, oxygen is eliminated from areas with flames. Preparing for something noble, that is to say, combat training for unforeseen events, has been received from Ellen. Is Pharma's body highly defensive, or about a scratch at best when the attack hits him, and scarcely scratches. Not to mention Ellen. I never bled or anything. What Pharma is worried about is, "Don't overdo it and kill them". The flame went out before it reached Pharma. To prevent fainting, also turn off nitrogen.
"Become... with your bare hands! Negative attribute of flames!
Ice-based attacks emitted by the divine user of water are eliminated without difficulty with his right hand.
"Negative attributes of water, too, you say?!
Basically, the men seem confused because theology users don't have more than one attribute.
(Even vaporized anesthesia is sprinkled and stunned? Oh, that makes me faint too)
Then let it faint with low blood sugar or mild dehydration with negative abilities?
Pharma had managed to find a way to cut through this scene intact from each other, but even if we had survived this scene, we'd already found out as long as we were running the pharmacy, and many times they'd come to heretical interrogation. You can seal your mouth if you kill them left in this place, but someone might be watching it somewhere, and killing isn't an option in the first place. However,
"Life and death are not a matter of concern. Kill him."
(Uh!?
A leader character man with a double line in his armband gave me a slight kill command.
Heterogeneity, don't die. like the spirit of
This is not going to be mutually intact anymore.
