The night market in Leuthe is mainly concentrated at the foot of the mountain, because most of the lower class people live at the foot of the mountain.

In addition, the maritime merchants and sailors who passed by were mostly active at the foot of the mountain, and the trade of goods was also concentrated in this area, resulting in a particularly good market atmosphere in this area.

The sky has not yet completely darkened, and the bright lights have been turned on. The shining lights are much more eye-catching than those in the higher places where the masters live.

Sophie walked beside Li Jiu, jumping up and down with joy.

She even seemed to have forgotten her shyness, even taking off the black coat she wore all year round, revealing her delicate face.

But if she glanced at Li Jiu and her face turned slightly red, it still revealed her inner shyness.

Li Jiu also felt a little weird inside, mainly because this was their first date alone.

That's right, no one else followed. Obviously, the idea was to cultivate feelings for them alone.

But after all, Li Jiu was someone who had been there before, and he adapted immediately, at least more comfortably than the little girl Sophie. Leuthe's night vision was indeed wonderful, and many people in Innsmouth, Tut, and Nassau couldn't see it.

Everything you've come across is here.

For example, there are some jugglers wearing exotic costumes, those who train animals to perform circuses, there are also some jewelry whose materials are not found in the West Sea, and some special food.

It is a night market full of real fireworks and novelty.

The most outrageous thing was a stall selling grilled fish, and the seller was a man with a head that looked like a shark.

The shark man sells grilled fish. The scene is so bizarre no matter how you think about it.

Sophie was so frightened that she kept leaning on Li Jiu and even grabbed Li Jiu's hand.

Li Jiu had no choice but to pat the back of her hand gently to signal that she was okay, and also bought a bunch of fruit candy skewers from the Central Sea for her to eat.

As soon as she ate, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons again. She was no longer afraid, but became curious about the origin of the shark man.

Li Jiu actually knew something. This kind of shark was different from the deep diver Matt, but it was not completely different.

Because they were all humans in the past, but Matt, the deep diver, was made like this by that bastard Dalong.

These shark people are the people of the original Shark Island, which is in the South China Sea. Originally, the people on the island relied on sharks as their source of livelihood, whether for food or trading goods.

As a result, I don’t know what happened. The people on Shark Island began to mutate, and gradually transformed from normal humans into shark heads and bodies.

Moreover, after the mutation, their temperaments became violent, and they would attack each other and even cannibalize themselves.

Then overnight, Shark Island was destroyed, and only a few people escaped.

It's strange to say that once they left the island, they all got better again, and their temperaments became gentler, but they couldn't change their minds.

There is no way back to the island.

They had no choice but to wander around the world.

A few years ago, a shark man wandered into Innsmaus, but because his appearance was too strange, he was hated by the people of Innsmaus, and he disappeared not long after.

When Sophie heard this, there was a look of pity on her face. She turned to look at the shark man. She was no longer so scared. Instead, she said: "In the past few decades, something like this seems to have happened. I don't know why.

What's wrong, I hope the great Lord can lead us to the light."

After she finished speaking, she made the complicated Lord of Radiance prayer gesture.

Li Jiu was thoughtful: "Does this happen over there?"

Sophie comes from the Kingdom of Ohm, which is located in the distant Eastern Sea. Because of the long distance, it is a relatively unfamiliar place to the Castilians.

"Yes, in the past few decades...the elders in the church said that this was divine punishment and the result of insufficient faith in God." Sophie said, having finished her prayer at this time.

"Hmm..." Li Jiu didn't think so, he just felt a little weird.

Over the past few decades...

What went wrong?

After the two said goodbye to the shark man, they continued walking forward and suddenly saw a group of people gathered together, as if they were watching something exciting.

When he got closer, Li Jiu felt some familiar atmosphere, and Sophie's eyes lit up.

Because that is exactly the smell of healing, or in other words, the breath of the Lord of Glory.

Have you met a colleague?

Then Li Jiu remembered that Sophie had said before that there was indeed a colleague of hers preaching in Leuthe.

I said this at the time when I was trying to figure out how to solve Talina's mental problems.

Could it be this?

Listening to Sophie's tone at that time, this colleague seemed to be quite powerful.

The two people separated a little from the crowd, walked deeper, and finally got a clear look at the situation inside.

In the center of the crowd, an old man wearing a shabby linen shirt, about sixty years old, with a snow-white beard and white hair, but overall looking energetic, was standing on the ground with a pair of bare feet, a pair of

The hands, mottled and eroded by time, were pressed on the head of a middle-aged man who was shivering as if he had suffered some cold.

The next moment, the light flickered, and the light was so bright that it even overshadowed the lights of the night market.

In this light, the old man with snow-white hair and beard, quite square appearance, dressed as an ascetic monk, chanted slowly in a low and solemn voice: "May your illness be dissolved under the light of our Lord, and you will be healed."

Like ice and snow, may your suffering be dissipated by the light of our Lord. Like ice and snow, may the light of our Lord shine on the earth as it does in His kingdom.”

Reciting those words so grandly in the shining light, everyone felt as if their souls had been sublimated for a moment.

When the light dissipated, the trembling middle-aged man suddenly stood up, looked at himself with some surprise, and said: "I...I'm fine! I'm fine!"

Then he looked at the old man, looking like he was crying with joy, and said: "Thank you, thank you, great sage, respected Lord Matthew! Thank you for curing my illness, thank you Lord, I am willing to convert to the great

The Lord of Glory! I am willing to serve you!"

As a result, the ascetic monk named Matthew shook his head and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. The Lord is in our hearts and in everything in the world. You only need to have the Lord in your heart and don't stick to other things. Go home."

.”

This actually surprised Li Jiu. He had originally doubted whether this healing episode was a drama that had been arranged long ago.

But what this Matthew did was really a bit unreasonable.

Just as he was thinking about this, he noticed that the crowd slowly separated.
