Chapter 13 Angry Maya

The explanation given by the church was full of loopholes for Maya, but for people like Marquis, it was flawless.

It was common sense that the holy light technique could cure all kinds of diseases, and it was true. The holy light technique could cure most of the pain of diseases, and even the people who enjoyed the bath of the holy light would be refreshed. Therefore, once the pain that couldn't be treated by the holy light technique appeared, the people of the church would tell the lie that the person was possessed by a demon.

In this way, there were two results.

First, the patient survived in the end. In this way, it could be said that they have eliminated the demon attached to the patient, and the patient finally recovered.

Second, the patient died, so they could put the blame directly on a demon.

Therefore, as the representative of the divine power, the church, and the temple had gained more and more prestige and power in people's hearts. On the contrary, demons had gradually become the representative and incarnation of illness and death. Anyone who heard the word "demon" would be frightened and retreat.

What Maya saw today not only made her understand the greed in the church but also showed her how the "evil" of demons was formed.

It could be imagined that what happened today could happen all over the world every day.

100 gold coins were totally affordable for Marquis. As a father, he agreed to the price without hesitation.

"It seems that I have to show up."

Jason sighed. After all, he won. Asmodeus was waiting to enjoy the delicious food.

He took out the crow mask that belonged to an underground doctor and put it on. Jason stood horizontally in front of the carriage.

"Wait, Sir Marquis."

The group of knights was about to drive Jason away.

"Sir Marquis, if you don't want your daughter to die, you'd better listen to me. If you just take your daughter to the church in this way, I can guarantee that even if with the support of the holy light technique with a sky-high price of 100 gold coins, your beloved daughter will either die on the road or at the gate of the church."

"Bastard! How dare you curse my daughter!"

Hearing this, Marquis was very angry. "Guards, get him out!"

The knights immediately held their spears and were about to attack Jason.

"Sir Marquis, if you don't believe me, it's very simple. You just need to press the position with the three fingers distance from your daughter's right lower abdomen to know whether it's true or not."

Jason reminded him again.

Marquis ignored Jason's words, but the daughter of Marquis, who had regained her composure in the holy light technique, heard it. Perhaps she believed it or something else, she found the position and pressed it gently.

"Ah!"

At this moment, bean-sized beads of sweat immediately popped out from Marquis' daughter's body, and the miserable scream rang out again.

The scream revealed the information that the holy light technique had lost its effectiveness!

If the priest couldn't change this idea, the reputation of the church would be greatly damaged today. She didn't know what the church would meet in the future. But at least she would be severely punished by the church, or even lose her life.

Thinking of this, the priest screamed.

"Damn it! This underground doctor is the real body of the demon hidden in Miss Duell's body! Under the guidance of his words, Miss Duell released the demon in her body. This demon is extremely powerful, and my holy light technique can't suppress it anymore!"

Hearing this, Marquis was even more scared out of his wits. It was related to his daughter's life, and his face suddenly showed a cruel and resolute expression. "Everyone, go forward! Kill him! Kill him!"

Except for the guard knights, everyone stepped back, as if they were afraid that the demon in Jason's body would hurt them.

Jason was surprised at such a result. He had witnessed the hypocrisy of the church in the past six months when he traveled through time.

"All of you... Stop!"

Maya's angry voice echoed in the street. It was the first time that Maya had been angry with the church she believed in. The holy, powerful, pure, and righteous church in her heart actually had such a dirty side.

They could even make up the most basic things by taking advantage of the influence of the church. What else could they not do?

At this moment, she even ignored Jason's identity. As a member of the knights of the sacred palace, the holy knight, she actually stood in front of Jason.

Maya's temperament was irresistible to ordinary people. The guards looked at her and couldn't help being stunned. Maya went straight to the priest and slapped her hard on the face. With a crisp sound, the priest was beaten to scream, fell to the ground, and the corner of her mouth was also covered with blood.

She dares to beat the priest in the street!

"You're courting death..."

The priest covered her face and stood up. When she was about to fight back, her face twitched when she saw Maya's face clearly.

"Maya... Your highness..."

She was just a humble priest in the church, while Maya was the chief in charge of the holy knights of the whole city! She didn't care about Marquis, but she really couldn't afford to offend Maya.

"Let me ask you."

Her voice was as cold as ice.

"There isn't any demon attached to Marquis' daughter's body. As the priest of the church, why do you say that she is possessed by a demon?"

Everyone was shocked by what the priest had been questioned. Of course, they had heard of the name of Maya, and they didn't expect that what the priest had said before was false.

"I... I..."

The priest trembled all over her body. It was impossible for her to say that she was trying to make money and frame the fake demon?

She had to take the blame herself.

"Your Highness, it should be... It should be me who made a mistake..."

The priest stammered.

"Well, since you made a mistake, I'll give you another chance," Maya said. "Go ahead and give a thorough examination. Then tell me what kind of illness is this lady suffering from?"

"Yes..."

After the examination, the priest felt her scalp tingling. The process of treatment and rescue was done with the shining of the holy light. Who cared about the cause of the disease?

However, the priest was smart. Seeing that Marquis' daughter seemed to have just finished the meal, she said in a good manner, "Your Highness, this lady should have eaten something unclean, which caused abdominal pain. And the main function of the holy light technique is to remove all kinds of viruses and evil, and for the abdominal pain caused by eating bad things, only the holy light technique can't work. She really needs to go back to the church for treatment."

"That's good."

Taking a glance at the priest, Maya said, "Since she has eaten something unclean, you don't need to use the holy light technique to escort her all the way. You can't take 100 gold coins."

Maya's words were quite straightforward. But she still saved the face of the church. The final result was that "the priest did not seriously treat the lady's disease" and it would not affect the public's perception of the church.

Although she lost her bet with Jason, she couldn't watch the priest's soul being taken away by Jason. Anyway, she had fallen into his control. At the worst, she would die for her, which could be regarded as her final contribution to the church.

However, what Jason said next almost made Maya stunned.

"Sir Marquis, your daughter will be in a coma in five minutes at most, and she will die in pain in ten minutes. If you want her to live..."

Jason's following words surprised everyone.

"Tie this priest up and bring her to me."
