火刑當日的，豔陽下的大雨下了整整三天，直到今日上午才停下。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpylarrvkh
不知何時，太陽默默地躲了起來，天空變得灰濛濛的。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf1S6GE3Ki
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr02XfVZtu7
信使的咳嗽越發嚴重，隨著他的移動，村內越來越多人開始咳嗽。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkvyHM6R3C
身上長出皮疹，不自覺痛苦地扭曲身體，有些人還發起了高燒。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLhcLIolDP
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluOuiELv9w
瘟疫，到了。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBErKNxi460
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLlBABD1yf
早上，慣例的彌撒結束……50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkG35DHTP2
說是彌撒，其實已經變成信徒們自己來教堂禱告，禱告完後就趕緊離去。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlr05aXlfl
因為村內主持彌撒的米德魯神父如今正發著高燒，躺在家裡不能動彈。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vRBGIbC21
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbBDNxJ417
阿嘉莎修女例行地跪在神子受難像前，虔誠地禱告，祈求上主能將下奇蹟，拯救村人……50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KSzj1NcRs
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsqWpzt4pm
「……阿們。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaTQMjNTfN
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD3bnnpRnX
禱告結束，阿嘉莎提起準備好的餐籃，往村莊偏僻的倉庫走去。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e6QGR3Pcp
路上冷冷清清，村民們大多數都躲在自己家中，除非必要否則都不外出。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Er11Z8Cdf
遠遠地農地上，有些農夫正組織家人們迅速採收沒被泡爛的作物，儘管尚未成熟，但勉強還能吃……50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3JaHiRmEQ
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpDnqght0l
倉庫邊，那位衛兵杜比斯已經離崗了，據說也得了病，正在家裡休息。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJqTrUXcS2
村長也沒有另外派衛兵來，因此將鑰匙交給了每天都會來送飯的阿嘉莎修女保管。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIWqztrFMi
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQovm8jutX
如今已沒有人在看守魔女，自那次異象之後，許多人開始懷疑她可能真的是天使。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxvvrXJSRa
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCtnOHC7k9
大概率不是，但萬一是呢？50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Wjt9EgE0a
這是目前村人們主流的想法。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ONeunSVaD
而阿嘉莎，打算利用這個想法……50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtFe7Wi5I6
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3DEgFhl6a
喀——50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRNt2bBZcq
厚重的倉庫門被輕輕推開，阿嘉莎小心翼翼地闔上門。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJMm7HfJOZ
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnmDXWo6HC
倉庫內，那位白髮的魔女依舊靠坐在牆邊閱讀她那本沒有封面的書籍。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDyfBTCN2n
阿嘉莎終於忍不住了：「魔女小姐，您到底在讀什麼書呀？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rpy2oJCJh
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5cfUOv6OJ
聽到阿嘉莎的聲音，魔女微微抬起頭。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wynsvYP4G
「這本嗎？你可以自己來看看，這是怎麼樣的一本書。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq6WM0Eocq
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegbQDThmko
阿嘉莎隨手將餐籃放在木板箱上，走到魔女身旁蹲坐下來，靠過去看看那本書。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEHjBwQWmQ
「我看看……」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rAgpkkiBj
書本上面畫著各式各樣奇妙的圖形，看起來像寶石的小點們在微微塗黑的紙上被排列成各種形狀——就好像，夜空中的星星一樣。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlQWGL2RUJ
一旁還標註上印刷出來的不知名的異族文字，阿嘉莎讀不懂，她伸出手指指著其中一個圖案。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLE3obajYr
「這個是什麼？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXQNL7Edtl
「星相……你手指的這個，叫『大熊』，瞧……」魔女也伸出白皙的手指，在圖像上劃了過去：「有沒有像一隻熊？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nQLfN4hey
「真的，好神奇！」阿嘉莎臉上帶著孩童獲得新知般的笑容，不過她馬上想到了另一個問題：「感覺很厲害，但……這有什麼用？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaafRU1EdUW
「呵呵……看到熊尾巴了嗎？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO5P22E4st
「嗯。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oe9vKNe22
魔女指著「大熊」的尾部，然後向旁延伸點距離，指著圖案上另一個小點：「這個叫北極星，春夏時可以透過這種方式找到。對旅行者和水手們來說，可以用來辨識方位。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGEl4JK1rE
阿嘉莎點了點頭。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt7LLmYHej
「那對你來說呢？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP3fJ4jnao
「呵呵，對我來說，用處可就大多了……比如，預測未來……」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XIu2oPGj8
「預測未來？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZgrkPkXLB
魔女閉著眼，沒有回答。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetO8Og9OXA
「魔女小姐？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q2GFWSJW7
魔女睜開眼，看了看阿嘉莎。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqaOs7Amfa
「占星……你聽過嗎？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPExsHTuefk
「聽過。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0BasPVNI3
「那可是項很有趣的活動……」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymIyrhyuOI
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXciKfqIbbf
啪——50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mXYHm8RGI
魔女闔上書本。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCG21kyipv
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMjHvQicpe
「你應該不是來找我聊天的吧，小修女？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf2Un2snfk
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbTvskcOEw
聽到這句，阿嘉莎突然想起原本的目的。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sWPFgRKZR
「啊對……抱歉。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcJUyCnzIg
她趕忙整理起食物，遞給魔女。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ph9PQIOGN
看著慢悠悠吃著東西的魔女，阿嘉莎猶豫了一會，像是在下定決心。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfgUDYOpmG
「魔女小姐，你不是說……你可以阻止瘟疫嗎？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h7aKpUS6Y
「嗯，種摸了（怎麼了）？」魔女嘴裡含著食物，咬字不清地回覆。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvr4DoQhXz
「聞言已經傳播到村裡了……我希望你……你可以幫幫我們……」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxImsmnObDU
魔女停下進食，抬頭看向阿嘉莎。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaamr5IXjgV
阿嘉莎慌亂地擺擺手。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYVjSWXqr6
「啊不，抱歉……你才剛從火刑架上下來，大概不是很愉快吧……」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylyk5T7C3D
阿嘉莎低著頭，她感覺自己其實沒什麼臉求魔女幫助村莊。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZroA7DFb9o
「好，帶我去。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0gmgdmyiq
「果然……沒關係的，不願意的話。但已經有人……有人覺得你真的是……什麼？你剛剛說什麼？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTVUTdHaAY
阿嘉突然意識到魔女的回答。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIhJxIEh3N
「我說，帶我過去吧。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xekqF3pWf
魔女微笑著抬起手，將鐐銬露出……50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53QURCYRjR
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT90Vr3sGR
之後，阿嘉莎替魔女解開鐐銬，讓她重新活動活動後，帶著魔女去往米德魯神父的家。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGprMaJNGNV
一路上避開村民，不過因為人很少，很輕易就做到了。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7dh7GD21Q
米德魯神父的住所位在教堂旁，並沒有多起眼，和村民們的房屋差異不大。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbBxWXY7A2
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE0EKA3Otk
禮貌性地敲了敲門，阿嘉莎推開木門，進到屋內。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlCpgNXLuL
塞繆爾正坐在床邊的椅子上打瞌睡，這幾天都是他在照顧著米德魯。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKq6ie63vc
「呼……呼……」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG1tBwwjoi
「塞繆爾大人？」阿嘉莎輕輕碰了碰塞繆爾，不過沒有反應：「塞繆爾大人！」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzk1flSkWt
「嗚喔！」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6Q589k4BG
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAc8BQRKVG
碰！50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2iFaWSE3d
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE7TCTa7Gc
嚇得塞繆爾猛地一動，整個椅子翻倒，他也摔落在地。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I9x06WOyZ
「呃……痛痛痛……怎麼回事？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2nqWUx4w3
「我帶了，魔女小姐……她說她能治療神父……」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2pRWgsgLl
塞繆爾稍微側身，看到阿嘉莎從身後進屋的魔女。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36yN04ffvL
魔女朝他做出優雅的微笑和行禮……50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWoPe6oExG
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlJXPkwU8B
魔女輕輕抬起米德魯神父的手，檢查他的狀況。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU76nOK0sg7
「發燒……高溫……嗯，正常的反應……不過比較輕微……」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFj4NQav26
她嘴裡唸唸有詞。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv1jmZn6p9
「沒皮疹？奇怪……不對，誤差正常……每個人狀況不同……」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5CdehG8H8
她說的很小聲，阿嘉莎和塞繆爾都沒聽清楚。不知道在說些什麼，大概是在檢查米德魯神父的狀況。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrWPhGhAq1
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjHqdI4G0X
一會後，魔女放下神父的手。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMOCl8zjcG
「嗯嗯……小修女？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiugqkVIEow
「我在。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3PHuYtHqM
「有紙和筆嗎？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOenoxDcIzW
「我有，我給你，等等……」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSH9gZZlLP
塞繆爾從胸口的口袋裏拿出一本小冊，從裡面撕下一張紙，又拿了隻羽毛筆給魔女。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxArgKZ5g7h
魔女在紙上寫了些詞彙，然後遞給阿嘉莎。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSg3dXJB7N
「拿去，把這些藥材合起來，就可以治好得病的人了。」魔女笑著說道。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HBVAAjrWm
「這麼簡單啊……」塞繆爾有些不可置信。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD1BBd0OUO
「呵呵，就是這麼簡單。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREx8QSogs4
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW17CAvEc1k
不過阿嘉莎沒有回應，她盯著紙上的字好久。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92XdjfSsYD
「怎麼了嗎，小修女？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhUEfmjBLR
「那個……我看不懂……」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP2x0tKpkh
阿嘉莎把紙條遞回去。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbzo1Worl0
上面寫的詞彙，全部都是奇怪的符號，應該說，異族文字。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQA6FhYpU6
魔女愣了一下，但迅速接過紙條，劃去上面的詞彙，重新寫了一遍。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsATDLkq1v
這次阿嘉莎看得懂了。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOhv00w8ti
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukXQccplux
隨後，阿嘉莎和塞繆爾用這個藥方配置出藥來，然後用米德魯神父做實驗。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYlmGvdLmt
兩天後，神父的病好了……50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIX5u8tzCU
接著，又過一個禮拜，村人們服用藥物後通通痊癒了。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE8Uk9pkZr
彷彿瘟疫從來沒有來過一樣。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq7igeIazC
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2LgTylZoV
在阿嘉莎的請求下，病好起來的米格魯神父答應組織村民一起製藥。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0eLRtBwjc
一個月後，東、西和南邊疫情也緩和了，得病的人吃過藥後很快便恢復過來。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4GYRWU8DX
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnC7onmCtd
人們歡呼著，紛紛相信魔女並非魔女——而是上主的使者。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAtse12Ikx
她不再被囚禁，而是移動到阿嘉莎修女的住所暫住，也能自由活動。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxbZDP6SUq
她是這裡第一起翻案的魔女被告……50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreCXIUJOEy
