A small room located in the southwest corner of the castle. If you want to enter the low wooden door, you have to bend down. Once you enter the room, you can see a series of herbs and strange flowers hanging on the stone wall. These herbs emit fragrance. In the center of the room are many bottles and jars, including living things like toads squirming. On the small cutting board on the wooden table is a sharp knife and a very evenly cut tree root.

"Gudu, Gudu." The former priest Miss Shirley cooked it next to the fireplace with some herbs into the tongs, and the foam and medicine tasted bitter in the tongs.

"Crack~~~." Suddenly the door opened, and Aruod's servant Xiao Shane walked in. He sniffed and frowned slightly. When the Viking Warrior attacked from the sea, he was injured and sent to this small room for treatment for a period of time. Every day, Miss Shirley forced herbs to be filled with this terrible smell, so once you smell it, you instinctively feel nauseous.

"Little Sean?" Miss Shirley was wearing a white long dress. She stood up and looked at him curiously, not understanding why Little Sean, who served Arod, appeared here at this time.

"Miss Shirley, Lord Lord, please invite me." Xiao Shaun said to Miss Shirley.

"Master Earl?" Miss Shirley was a little surprised when she heard this, but she immediately picked up the small wooden box placed in the corner. The wooden box was made of solid fir and carved with many religious patterns of the Lomwa religion. However, for Shirley, it was just a box for placing medicines.

"No, don't take that." Xiao Shaun reached out to stop Miss Shirley. He knew that Aruod called Miss Shirley not to save someone. His real identity was the assassin of the Assassin Guild. Little Shaun knew Aruod's purpose very well, but he also knew Miss Shirley's kind nature.

"Why?" Miss Shirley's smooth face was full of doubts. After being captured by Arod. Because of her amazing medical and herbal knowledge, Miss Shirley became a doctor in Arod's court.

"You will know when you go." Xiao Shane couldn't tell Miss Shirley's orders in advance. He led Miss Shirley, who was suspicious, to Arod's room. At this time, Arod, the lord of Mecklenburg, was waiting here.

"Dear Count, do I have anything to serve?" Miss Shirley saw Aruod, standing at the window, wearing a noble robe, and quickly saluted Aruod.

"Miss Shirley, after you became a doctor, you have treated many of my soldiers and friends. I have always wanted to thank you for this." Aruod turned his back to the light of the window, and he exclaimed to Miss Shirley.

"Every believer who believes in the goddess of life will do this." Miss Shirley said humbly to Arud. There are many branches of their sects. Although most of the Lomwa religions rely on blood sacrifices to show the power of the gods, there are also sects that love life and nature. Miss Shirley is the sacrificial priest who believes in the earth and the goddess of life. This branch has a unique method for how to cure diseases and pains. However, each priest needs to swear to the gods that will never use their knowledge to harm life in their lifetime.

"Well, but now I have a small thing to do, I need your help." Aruod walked to the wooden table where he wrote the documents, stretched out his right hand and gently tapped the wooden table with the joint of his index finger. Looking at the priest in front of him, Aruod's request might be too much, but for his great cause of revenge, he didn't care much.

"Please give me the Count." Miss Shirley looked at Arud who was hesitating in front of her in confusion. This was not the decisive count she remembered. When she captured Mecklenburg, she killed those Slavic nobles who refused to convert or surrender overnight. Arud didn't even blink.

"That's right, do you have a herb that can make people weak and drowsy, just like an old man, but it will never hurt his life?" Arud seemed to have made up his mind and knocked down the wooden table in front of him. Then he said to Miss Shirley.

"Make people weak as old people? Poison~~." Miss Shirley finally understood after hearing it for a long time. Isn't what Arude said in his mouth poison? She couldn't help but scream. She instinctively resisted such things to the followers of the Goddess of Life. Although it was extremely simple for them to make poison, no devout believer would violate the goddess's teachings.

"Uh. I think so." In fact, Aruod didn't want to hand over such dirty things to Shirley, but the only poison in his hand was Shishen, who killed people, could kill or even paralyze people. However, to accurately make a person like a walking corpse, it requires the poison technology to be used to the top level like art. The exact difference between more points and less points is that laymen can never find a way.

"I am a follower of the goddess of life. It is against my faith to hurt life with poison." Miss Shirley immediately refused solemnly.

"Faith? Don't forget who you and your believers can live peacefully in this land where the Lord's gospel is spread. Whenever the moon is full, the pagan behavior of you and your believers has attracted the attention of the monks. The petition for their religious judgment is still here with me." Arod sneered, and he walked to the document cabinet in the room, reached out and pulled out a roll of parchment, which was marked by the monks of St. Johnem.

"I, we just did not hurt anyone to commemorate the goddess of the earth. The growth and life of all things are fully endured by the gift of this mother." Miss Shirley's cheeks appeared red, and her slightly fat face turned rosy due to anger and fear. Arod's threat was extremely deadly. The believers who followed Shirley were Slavs who lived in Mecklenburg for generations. If expelled, they would be homeless and wandering.

"Oh, then you should just defend the monks and priests to see if they have sympathy?" Aruod smiled and hugged his arms, looking at the priestess in front of him who was extremely stubborn about faith. After hearing Aruod's words, Shirley became silent. She knew very well that the Catholic Church was cruel and ruthless. There was no tolerance for the heretical beliefs they believed. Stumping was the best way they thought to purify the souls of pagans.

"It is said that some mushrooms in the forest have special effects, you should go and have a look." Aruod said to Shirley, and issued an order to expel guests.

"It's the Count." Shirley frowned and turned around. Just as she was about to leave, Aruod's voice came to her back, which made her figure pause.

"I have a team of fifty soldiers training and hunting near the village of Oru." Aroud said to Shirley. The area near the village of Oru is the area where Shirley once spreads his faith. Just like the diocese of the Catholic bishop, the people there still respect Miss Shirley very much in private. The implication of Aroud's saying that his soldiers were stationed nearby was that you should not take your believers to try to escape.

When Miss Shirley walked out of Aruod's room, she felt her legs were weak and weak. She even had to hold the cold wall when she walked out the door. At this moment, her strong hands were holding her arms. When Miss Shirley turned around, she saw Xiao Shane looking at her with concern.

"You're okay Miss Shirley."

"No, I'm fine." Miss Shirley reluctantly smiled at Xiao Shane, but the smile was so forced, as if a person was trying his best to control himself to cry.

"Don't disobey the orders of Lord Earl, just do your own job well. Leave the rest to the gods." Xiao Shaun comforted.

"I understand." Miss Shirley looked at Xiao Shane gratefully. Aruod's authority was undeniable. There was really no choice for this powerful nobleman who was similar to the hostage.

In the early morning of the next day, Miss Shirley put on her cloak and hood, carried a basket and walked out of Mecklenburg and headed towards the forest. Xiao Shane, who monitored Shirley according to Arod's order, looked at the back of the beautiful priestess, turned around to Arod's door, and reported Miss Shirley's movements to the ruler of Mecklenburg.

"Very good, you continue to monitor and make sure to let her complete her mission." Arod's voice passed through the wooden door and ordered Xiao Shane.

"It's the Count." Xiao Shaun agreed quickly, and then left. He hadn't received a new order from the Assassin's Guild for a long time. Sometimes he almost forgot his true identity. He really thought he was the attendant of the Earl of Mecklenburg, and becoming a attendant of a noble was something he could not imagine before. His sister Shou Chai Bonnie also became a maid working by Princess Josie. Even a low-level maid was extremely honorable. If their poor mother of the laundry worker who soaked her fingers in a basin every day, how happy she would be.

The forest was full of plants and mushrooms. Only those who truly knew herbs could tell that those were herbs that were beneficial to people, and those were harmful poisons. Miss Shirley walked in the fresh air forest with the basket in her hand. Her eyes did not look between the trees and mushrooms, but instead looked around with vigilance. Suddenly, a figure flashed between a bush. The man was wrapped in a gray cloak, which seemed very hidden in the mist.
