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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD9yPMRQk1
不知何時，太陽默默地躲了起來，天空變得灰濛濛的。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uCxyWdFWs
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw6fWQhljE
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH4hjLiBPa
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA904B5Zi7
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU2sh3sIEl
瘟疫，到了。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbMvV18lfQ
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3RUt028Y2
早上，慣例的彌撒結束……68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVuGIcMWsT
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ870kyPzqMo
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxexJ1T56A
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIKFTlUJV5
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……68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8bFqYXeuy
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR1y3Iz1VB
「……阿們。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSRtRAax2m
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRGqgKQGkX
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fZx69tcd3
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0sRYd83Gh
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……68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MiOoC8jIC
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjmxeem0dq
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOrIXFCeLV
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHH9e0fOLM
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1hyzVRkZL
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7qXOm2LXw
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgafBYwY07S
大概率不是，但萬一是呢？68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuEhwHiL2H
這是目前村人們主流的想法。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVacuTq8pK
而阿嘉莎，打算利用這個想法……68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWHf4ONggu
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1jA2rBTfo
喀——68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcKIIbvbtZ
厚重的倉庫門被輕輕推開，阿嘉莎小心翼翼地闔上門。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfH637PrZf
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqycf2D4yy
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF6UpQNN9S
阿嘉莎終於忍不住了：「魔女小姐，您到底在讀什麼書呀？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAfgb3jZeS
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcQloRp3pi
聽到阿嘉莎的聲音，魔女微微抬起頭。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVhYMPHTio
「這本嗎？你可以自己來看看，這是怎麼樣的一本書。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FxIQUHici
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqc2ZtvGJS
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U9lTu1kP3
「我看看……」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKGDFZ87Xd
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZPREpFCMp
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQkgbAbvyY
「這個是什麼？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yWIjj7RjX
「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？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Dcdh0HU6r
「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？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjl8eNw8IL
「呵呵……看到熊尾巴了嗎？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt9gJ3o19v
「嗯。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CKEkZg3Kp
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。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQimcP3HmT9
阿嘉莎點了點頭。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4plVy5xxP0
「那對你來說呢？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOjyrdElcE
「呵呵，對我來說，用處可就大多了……比如，預測未來……」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3TLv3ZgDr
「預測未來？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasY6RmNFFD
魔女閉著眼，沒有回答。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUth5mpzK6c
「魔女小姐？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr9vYnOotR
魔女睜開眼，看了看阿嘉莎。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMbuqFpW91
「占星……你聽過嗎？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wrri6THgd
「聽過。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib7HagCuE4
「那可是項很有趣的活動……」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJRs2JyPZD
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2EijpJwq4
啪——68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPy7kBkfI1
魔女闔上書本。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7m6am6DEi
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtsU5b8e2W
「你應該不是來找我聊天的吧，小修女？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1Mm7dfUxa
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b2Qaj5YiU
聽到這句，阿嘉莎突然想起原本的目的。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0y1T2u1wU
「啊對……抱歉。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77XB6353EL
她趕忙整理起食物，遞給魔女。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9m5KGf5O3
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqOV19uy5b
「魔女小姐，你不是說……你可以阻止瘟疫嗎？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwF6i863ry
「嗯，種摸了（怎麼了）？」魔女嘴裡含著食物，咬字不清地回覆。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhhVsM6fPo
「聞言已經傳播到村裡了……我希望你……你可以幫幫我們……」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeipz5gQUK0
魔女停下進食，抬頭看向阿嘉莎。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg5UFr62x7
阿嘉莎慌亂地擺擺手。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8GXwIUxRB
「啊不，抱歉……你才剛從火刑架上下來，大概不是很愉快吧……」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8muaKMoyx
阿嘉莎低著頭，她感覺自己其實沒什麼臉求魔女幫助村莊。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS99FWyOMC
「好，帶我去。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkVV1S3vd4
「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？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIUFHO5RkU
阿嘉突然意識到魔女的回答。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgbuVvSAST
「我說，帶我過去吧。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrYQlqEMp8
魔女微笑著抬起手，將鐐銬露出……68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKLaRdxo2r
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMWNSTxSUA
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H8XlWq4aV
一路上避開村民，不過因為人很少，很輕易就做到了。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J76FSImHr
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMIdeEQKJL
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatzz5PMU6t
禮貌性地敲了敲門，阿嘉莎推開木門，進到屋內。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxepbqFYEs
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqXq3R85ti
「呼……呼……」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpviEilbqK2
「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！」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CMIk4nxGi
「嗚喔！」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLeIHMMDVJ
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSji0NkVvbC
碰！68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd1csUdJp4
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZjDZITGq7
嚇得塞繆爾猛地一動，整個椅子翻倒，他也摔落在地。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oyyMDI6Zw
「呃……痛痛痛……怎麼回事？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmOdkPKIQR
「我帶了，魔女小姐……她說她能治療神父……」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBR9nEYAlC
塞繆爾稍微側身，看到阿嘉莎從身後進屋的魔女。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKy2t8g3oE
魔女朝他做出優雅的微笑和行禮……68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU07GHXQ9R4
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELdkKN6S28
魔女輕輕抬起米德魯神父的手，檢查他的狀況。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VMRXenLWg
「發燒……高溫……嗯，正常的反應……不過比較輕微……」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwibDD3s6f
她嘴裡唸唸有詞。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5eHyvgBsw
「沒皮疹？奇怪……不對，誤差正常……每個人狀況不同……」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eUrs92uhO
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaApSMQUb9p
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uoQnRIDeZ
一會後，魔女放下神父的手。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDLYIGbKnu
「嗯嗯……小修女？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3KtDdcHdX
「我在。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qmKlSVMn6
「有紙和筆嗎？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UEXQiFrqr
「我有，我給你，等等……」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wu18DdKY1
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJSY4lKtT4
魔女在紙上寫了些詞彙，然後遞給阿嘉莎。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwox01VMmVE
「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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin6N5FL20W
「這麼簡單啊……」塞繆爾有些不可置信。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HcDvQcILe
「呵呵，就是這麼簡單。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AzxuGUDKP
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCpj0Q8H5Y
不過阿嘉莎沒有回應，她盯著紙上的字好久。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgSit10uDN
「怎麼了嗎，小修女？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEy18WLG4W
「那個……我看不懂……」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcUF5yI4ka
阿嘉莎把紙條遞回去。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ0TFa5BbV
上面寫的詞彙，全部都是奇怪的符號，應該說，異族文字。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY4858S7Qf
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb0BzXRNJx
這次阿嘉莎看得懂了。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8momdi8dsC
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaiBoRv5dE
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51lb6Q2x0b
兩天後，神父的病好了……68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcSmtiXrgv
接著，又過一個禮拜，村人們服用藥物後通通痊癒了。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJyRXeQ9Qx
彷彿瘟疫從來沒有來過一樣。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ4C90bwI2
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pmuIoAblc
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC8T0Tc2fg
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWvggEDv6v
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKvKINPXuz
人們歡呼著，紛紛相信魔女並非魔女——而是上主的使者。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sK3GuUeiO
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。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMRdzdTlyg
她是這裡第一起翻案的魔女被告……68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNGat7NihU
