I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

Chapter 881

It seemed to be a clinic-like existence, with the entrance crowded with wounded people, all of whom looked like they were waiting for treatment.

Recently, the Demon King's army was ready to move, and the monsters were also a little too active. Coupled with the martial atmosphere of the Principality, people often got injured in sparring on the street.

Therefore, the number of injured people in the Principality was far more than that in other countries under normal circumstances. If they were injured, they had to find a way to treat them, so the clinics or churches here would obviously be busier.

The clinic in front of us was an example. It was not a particularly large house, but it was filled with people. There were even people queuing up at the door all the way to the street.

While waiting for treatment, these wounded were so bored that they chatted with each other, and some even had conflicts while chatting.

The best way to resolve conflicts in the Principality was to spar. Here, a man with a broken leg and a man with a broken hand respected the tradition and began to duel under the watch of the crowd.

Obviously, watching others duel was the most popular pastime in the Principality. After all, the barbaric need to watch others fight was almost the nature of human beings deep in their hearts.

After nearly thirty rounds of fighting, the man with a broken leg won, but he didn't look much better. Both sides were already injured, and now they were even more injured. The workload of the doctors in this clinic was obviously going to increase again.

Just when Elena wanted to leave, a faint holy light suddenly came from the clinic, which made him stop instinctively.

Originally, he thought that the clinic here was the same as the one in the Labyrinth City. Those who did not master the power of holy light could only use traditional herbs to treat patients.

After all, priests who could use holy light to trigger miracles were basically monopolized by the church. Even in the Principality, the Church of Light still had a place, and all priests were concentrated in the church.

But now there was a person who could use holy light in this small clinic, which really surprised Elena, and at the same time, his curiosity was also aroused.

He wanted to leave and started to stand outside the clinic to observe. He wanted to see who would refuse the invitation of the church and insist on staying in a small clinic to help people with injuries.

Originally, he just wanted to take a look, but it seemed a bit difficult. There were too many people coming for treatment, and the number of people would not decrease in a short time.

Elena was embarrassed to pretend to be a wounded person and wait in line, so he could only wait silently outside for the flow of people to decrease.

Maybe the pastor in the clinic also felt tired, and it was getting late. Now he looked up and found that the moon had risen, and the surroundings were gradually surrounded by darkness.

Those who were not seriously injured and could delay were driven away, leaving only those who looked worse. This time, the efficiency became faster, and finally everything was solved before the meal was over.

However, there would probably be many such wounded people coming when the next day opened. It was hard to imagine that the king of the principality could enjoy a leisurely life.

Elena observed here for a long time. The fee here was obviously very cheap, at least much cheaper than that of the church.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who would choose to line up here instead of going to the church with better efficiency and better treatment effect.

After all, even the people living in the capital of the principality are not really rich. Faced with the expensive treatment fees incurred by the church, many people can't afford it.

At the same time, Elena was a little confused. This clinic was stealing the "business" of the church. Didn't the church have any response? They were so willing to let an opposition priest take away their "orders"?

Just when Elena was curious, a few clergymen wearing the robes of the Church of Light came from a distance. They came fiercely and could be seen at a glance that they were not good.

They directly squeezed away the injured who had just dispersed not long ago and walked directly into the clinic. Many people were pushed to the ground by them, but facing these clergymen, many people dared not speak out.

Elena watched this scene silently from the side, squinting her eyes and getting a little restless, thinking of Sophia, the saint of the church.

Soon, there was a quarrel in the clinic. These clergymen were obviously here to cause trouble. Although it was not clear outside the door, Elena could still understand from the few words she heard that these clergymen were here to collect protection fees.

No wonder the church was willing to let the clinic treat the wounded here. It turned out that they had a "share" of the profits here.

However, it seemed that the price charged by the church was a bit too much. The clinic basically adopted the strategy of small profits but quick turnover, focusing on serving the wounded without squeezing their money too much..

The money earned in this situation was not much at all, but the other party asked the other party to hand over almost 90% of the share as soon as he opened his mouth.

Hearing this, Elena couldn't help it. He thought he didn't like to meddle in other people's business, but when he heard that the church was acting wild here, he thought that he had also been harassed by the church, and he couldn't help it all of a sudden.

He squeezed through the crowd and walked directly into the clinic, staring at the backs of these clergymen, and gradually released hostility from his body.

But at this moment, Elena saw a familiar figure. The adventurer team encountered during the journey to defeat the ice dragon, the only surviving priest in the team, a girl named Kai, was here.

Kai used to be unruly and willful. She relied on her ability to use healing magic to become a "princess" in the team.

But her naivety hurt her and her team. In the end, countless people died and were injured under the breath of the ice dragon. She was also the only survivor in the adventurer team in the fight against the ice dragon.

Facing the cruel scene at that time, the opponent's mental state obviously had some problems. He knelt on the snow like a zombie, with his eyes wide open and his face full of despair.

It was not until Elena and Fili rushed over to fight the ice dragon that she barely saved her life.

Elena didn't pay much attention to the movements of the priest at the beginning, and he didn't hear any news from him after he dealt with the ice dragon.

What he didn't expect was that Kai seemed to have recovered his spirit and even became the priest of this clinic. He was the one who had been busy using the power of holy light to treat others just now.

And now she was being embarrassed by these clergymen in front of her. Her haggard face showed a look of fear. She held the few savings in her hands, and her eyes seemed to be about to shed tears.

"Hey, why are you crying? This is what we agreed upon. Since you don't want to join our church, you have to give part of the money you earn to the outside world. What does your expression mean now? Do you want to break the contract?!"

Faced with such a Kai, these clergymen showed no sign of mercy. Their tone was still unforgiving, as if they wanted to force the other party into a desperate situation.
