Chapter 134 The Secret of Healing
"Why did she suffer such a serious injury? My healing spell can't help, you have to ask the Archbishop for help. Without further ado, Archbishop McIntosh is now teaching the priest, go find him!"
Having said goodbye to the medical priest of "Good Hall", Feiqi hurriedly led Lily, who was still unconscious, to a higher place in the Holy Trinity Castle. With the priest's holy emblem, he passed the inspection of the mountain gate, Benny controlled the carriage steadily and minimized the bumps along the way.
The healing magic is the shortest of all Fitch's shortcomings, and he has really put in a lot of effort, but he still cannot break through this invisible obstacle. Although the use of alchemy potions and herbs can also achieve healing effects, the only way to heal through spells is the only way to heal. Magic seems powerless in this field.
Feiqi has always disbelief of this evil. Magic should explain and reproduce all aspects of the world. Wherever the soul can reach, magic should be able to reach. "Maybe I haven't found the right method yet, maybe it's me, not the ability of magic." Feiqi has always had this confidence, so he never stopped working hard.
In the Ice Peak Fortress, in the Valley Fortress, and in the Holy Trinity Castle, Feiqi never relaxes his collection and learning of healing magic. Healing magic is divided into three categories and nine levels, with as many as 100 different spells of different sizes. The one that treats trauma is one type, the one that eliminates diseases and various bad states is one type, and the third type that increases resistance and tolerance to the body. Its effect ranges from treating scratches on fingertips to resurrection, covering different levels of power of magic.
Lily Gust's injuries are internal organ damage. The general "treatment of wounds" can only relieve and prevent the injury from worsening, but it has no ability to solve the problem. Moreover, the blood-sucking spell also has the effect of a curse, which is entangled in Lily's body and spirit. This abnormal state cannot be eliminated by the wound treatment spell. The priests of "Shantang" at Yamashita are mainly aimed at common diseases, trauma, fractures, colds, fevers and diarrhea, etc. They do not have suitable spell methods and lack sufficient spell abilities, so they can only ask the Archbishop for help.
Fortunately, Feiqi calmed down Lily in time. Her "suicide tendency" did not affect the most important and fragile organs, and she could survive until now. When the group finally arrived at the Holy Trinity Castle, Lily's face was pale, but from her chest to her neck was abnormally dark red, and her nails were a little blue. "Get out of the way, get out of the way, there are patients!" Feiqi roared, holding the holy emblem high to open the way. Benny hugged Lily and followed closely behind.
Fortunately, Archbishop McIntosh is in his office today. He is praying and listening to meditation with six students—including two bishops and four senior priests (Kim Holy Emblem)—who is praying and listening to meditation. Feich almost knocked open his door, then waved his arms while apologizing and swept the things on his desk to the side, and placed Lily Gust on it.
"Please save her. This is the daughter of Lily Gust, Viscount Vantman Gust. She was attacked by the pirate lord of the Desert Islands and was hit with spells such as the blood-sucking spell. Her internal organs were seriously injured." Feiqi knew that time was precious, so he only selected the most important information and said: "The priest of Yamashita Shinto has used to treat serious injuries, relieve toxins and stabilize blessings, but if there is no stronger magic, she will still die."
"I get it, let me check it out now." McIntosh smiled, summoned his "students" together, and then placed his glowing palms above Lily's body, illuminating them from head to toe. "Well, this is indeed a tricky situation, far more troublesome than interrupted prayer and listening to meditation. Feich, is there any way for me to stop me from being interrupted by someone who suddenly rushed in?"
"It's a good start to install a doorbell. It doesn't cost much money and doesn't have to take up people." Feiqi scratched his head, then bowed slightly: "Everyone, I'm very sorry, I've interfered with your original affairs."
"Well, the attitude is pretty good. I heard that you are a very personality champion and are worried that you will use your fists to make us submit." McIntosh retracted his palm and said to a gray-haired old pastor beside him: "First perform a recovery technique to make her physical condition slightly better. You guys, prepare her something to eat, as sweet as possible. Her injury requires regeneration techniques to be treated."
"Architect, the regeneration technique consumes a lot, are you sure?"
"When Fitch broke open the door, he did not consider his gains and losses, but wanted to save people. Therefore, what I heard was not the muffled sound of the body slamming against the wooden board, but the loud noise of the goddess hitting the soul. Everyone should ask themselves more 'What can I do' instead of always thinking about 'Is there any need to do' - some things must be done."
"There is only necessary to consider the choices, but there is no choice in many cases."
"It makes sense, Feich." Archbishop McIntosh nodded: "Well...you ask your friends to wait outside first, but you can stay. As a priest, do you want to see the process of the magic of regeneration?"
"This is great." Feiqi nodded vigorously, then acted as if no one could drive him away.
He wanted to know how healing magic was used, especially those at higher levels. The regeneration technique is at the seventh level of the 9th level healing magic, which is even higher than the resurrection technique. Of course, this is mainly because the resurrection technique requires the intervention of gods and the requirements for those who cast the magic are not that high. If you do not consider the difficulty increase caused by the transformation of medical spells from a single body to a large-scale cast, and only calculate the healing magic technique for individual creatures, then the regeneration technique can already rank in the top three.
"This is the spell rune of the regeneration technique, can you understand it?" McIntosh took out a book from his bookshelf, turned directly to the corresponding page number, and placed it in Feige's hand. "Is these things difficult?"
"I know them and I know their meaning, but I can't show it." Feiqi took a closer look, and then quickly browsed the previous and subsequent parts.
"You are still young now, and it is normal for you to not be able to perform. The age of twenty is at the age of ambition; and you have never suffered any hardships except being exiled - even if you are exiled, you have not been hungry or bullied, are you?"
Feiqi nodded: "It's true that there is no. But what does this have to do with the magical art?"
"Only by experiencing it more can you find faith, strengthen faith, and sublimate faith. Although happiness is also a kind of experience, I am afraid that suffering is the most impressive thing. When you recall the sweetness and pain of the past, will you laugh because of the sweetness or cry again because of the pain?"
Feiqi thought for a while and then shook his head: "It is true that people have a deeper memory of pain. But I think remembering pain is just a process of learning from mistakes, which is instinct. Only creatures that can remember the mistakes can survive longer, and those who have no memory will die earlier. What does this have to do with faith and divine art?"
"Not all pain is caused by mistake." McIntosh patted Feich's shoulder: "When you live longer, see more, and experience the emotions of people in this world, you will understand. It's like reading. You are not looking at those words and sentences, but seeing the emotions behind the words."
Feiqi shut up and did not answer. On the one hand, McIntosh said correctly, the runes of the magic spells cannot be used as simple characters. It does contain the power of faith, that is, the part that the soul and the concept of gods are integrated - this is a part that Feiqi has never been able to do. On the other hand, McIntosh also wants to heal Lily's injuries, and Feiqi also wants to take the opportunity to secretly learn the tricks of advanced healing magic. How could he always refute him?
"Healing magic is not about chanting spells, but about empathy - Feiqi, listen carefully. Your magic is very interesting and powerful. I went to watch your game, and I don't think anyone among the non-divine spell casters can cast spells like you." Macintosh's words made everyone, including Feiqi, raise their eyebrows, and feel very surprised. "You are calm in the arena, and you like to take into account all situations in advance, so you are good at planning and adapting. However, these advantages do not help much in magic. You need empathy."
"How do you know happiness without pain? Sitting in the hall, facing tall statues and graceful chants... These will not touch you more than the screams of those who have experienced hardships. Prayers, some are because of greed, but more because of lack!"
Fitch nodded vigorously. In terms of emotions, he agreed with McIntosh's words. He also believed that ordinary people outside lived too poorly and lacked too much, both materially and spiritually. However, he believed more in using his own efforts to change the status quo rather than praying.
McIntosh continued: "We are the bridge between goddesses and the mundane world. The training we have received for a long time is to convey the voice of the prayer to the goddess. Therefore, only by truly understanding the pain of the injured, truly putting themselves in the shoes of others, and truly moving their feelings to ourselves, can we correctly express it to the goddess and make the healing magic work have the best effect."
This passage exploded in Feiqi's mind like a bolt from the blue, making him stare at him for several seconds.
Yes! Transcendence! Why didn’t you expect it? The essence of spells is to use the soul to change the world, which was verified when casting fireballs, ice and qi element ropes. But the treatment... The goal of treatment is another person’s body, and that body has a soul! Therefore, one’s soul must work hand in hand with the soul on the other side, and at least they must cope with the injuries and illness together!
It is too difficult to make a soul who cannot use spells to adapt to the caster's soul, so if you want to heal, the caster needs to turn his daily habits in reverse. It is not to let the soul change the world, but to let the world change itself first, and then turn back to change the other person! Transcendence, or put yourself in the shoes of others, or long live understanding?
This is not a question of thinking, it has nothing to do with the amount of knowledge and brain power, it is just whether it can be connected with others' hearts. Panic after injury, fear after poisoning, helplessness when tortured by illness, sorrow and panic all day long. These are not physical pain, but spiritual and soul feelings. Just like a person with a frown, he will not like the company of a hippie smile, but will unknowingly talk to someone with the same disease. The resonance of the soul is the first part of the treatment.
"The patients and the injured must know that I am on the same side as them, and wounds and diseases are the enemies on the opposite side, so that they can be treated." Feiqi said.
"It's very good." McIntosh nodded with a smile: "The best healing pastors are all in the Holy Word, because we are always among the people and can better experience suffering. Of course, we are more willing to treat those devout believers because they are more willing to believe us, so that the treatment is better. Those blasphemers who make things difficult for us and slander us have automatically stood on the other side, and we are also powerless."
As McIntosh said, he began to perform the magical arts. The spells recorded on paper turned out to be just part of the magical arts. Before actually entering the spell part, the priest had to have a prayer. Now Fitch understood that this prayer was not nonsense, but a process of harmonious coordinating between the two souls.
Only by understanding people with a broader and deeper understanding of people, especially those who are injured and sick, can you truly understand their mood.
"She resisted me a little, and she was very reluctant to listen to me. It seemed that there was something more important than her life in her soul." Archbishop McIntosh frowned at the first time. "This is not good, it is not good. Although I can still force the magic of regeneration, the effect will be much worse, and it may even fail in treatment."
"I'll try it." Feiqi said: "I may not understand her injuries and her current mood, but I should be able to persuade her to reduce her resistance. Well... Will my joining affect my magic? "
"No - as long as you don't make trouble, you won't. In fact, if you can join in, the magical arts may be better, and we will lose less." Macintosh said: "The magical arts mainly rely on the power of the gods, part of which is its own magical power, but the healing arts must also be put into it. The recovery of the patient also requires the help of the priest's body. Feichi, tell me the truth."
"Since it is empathy, the empathy of the soul will inevitably bring both parties' physical feelings. Therefore, it is not only necessary to consume part of the energy, physical strength and recovery for the patient. This is also a manifestation of kindness."
"You can be a good priest." McIntosh nodded, grabbed Feich's hand, and pulled him into the casting process of the magic: "You learn more magic so that the people of Minas Ishir can benefit more. Now, listen carefully and feel the soul, can you hear her prayers?"
I didn't hear the prayer, but the slave felt that he was acting coquettishly to his master and kept it all in his heart. Feiqi calmed down and felt it carefully in the magic atmosphere created by McIntosh, and found that under the superficial emotions of acting coquettishly, there were actually fear, sorrow and helplessness.
A magician can use his soul to change the world, but who can change the soul of a magician? When two souls lean together, it is not just a matter of "change". There are so many ways to interact. Listening, understanding and empathy should not be just the exclusiveness of the priest.
"Don't worry, I'm here, listen to me, and receive treatment." Feich did not use a prayer, but talked directly to Lily Gust and used his soul to convey the voice deep inside her. "Follow my guidance and get yourself well. I need you to be healthy, I need you to step out of the haze step by step. I hope you can be truly free and happy."
Under the guidance of the Archbishop, Feiqi first empathized with the magical environment. Regeneration, the top healing magical technique, its power flowed through Feiqi's body and then acted on Lily Gust's fragile internal organs.
The wound was recovering quickly, and the damaged internal organs began to recover as before. Feiqi felt that part of his strength had been pulled away, but he had no wound, so he couldn't use it for the time being. Therefore, he temporarily borrowed his own recovery power, and just needed to eat more afterward to replenish his physical strength.
Moreover, he already has some of the devil's abilities, and his regeneration and recovery abilities are much stronger than ordinary people, and the lent out of this is nothing at all.
Wait...Fei suddenly had an idea, maybe it could solve the problem of healing spells.
