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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS63jb0UqT
不知何時，太陽默默地躲了起來，天空變得灰濛濛的。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz0pNt6RLf
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYwbtQBAjr
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7pWCyvl0U
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjXQaHchEA
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe2286B2XS
瘟疫，到了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TABEDnut1
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUWuWoEbgW
早上，慣例的彌撒結束……78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblRwPGP7Hd
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKaWQKssA0
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy4w2YPyJO
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX8OAVS9Nt
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……78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpCCuIaJoV
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyrgKJcMjw
「……阿們。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6woyaE20lt
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbns4T62eaq
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagdkEOMNLI
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexeAmhUk3n
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……78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6jOvdDEuJ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqw0g8y9WU
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOeoyl4oMZ
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzFnUMJlcw
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpJddc2RpI
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNOZeGAe8k
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAG2K3ZpzH
大概率不是，但萬一是呢？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGTrKGpHML
這是目前村人們主流的想法。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILA74cOpgN
而阿嘉莎，打算利用這個想法……78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAUAbut9iv
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlqvt0lAmh
喀——78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2yIQvkuvj
厚重的倉庫門被輕輕推開，阿嘉莎小心翼翼地闔上門。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk9pTTO0iM
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0MWqZhm9K
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbljx3yh4ZL
阿嘉莎終於忍不住了：「魔女小姐，您到底在讀什麼書呀？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14UrCnVaVw
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hB3tjDmty
聽到阿嘉莎的聲音，魔女微微抬起頭。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXVa4ngiEy
「這本嗎？你可以自己來看看，這是怎麼樣的一本書。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhE3XvAXCo
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xpq6Wnfss
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSTY4l1SgX
「我看看……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tVeCOyppd
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE3SKlNRlz
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnDVqpk6Ot
「這個是什麼？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfEUUtPXvm
「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？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMNFSMTt2j
「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？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyHENvvBN8
「呵呵……看到熊尾巴了嗎？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQxF7ICczx
「嗯。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QK2qQWFpD
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。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAt8quaL8r
阿嘉莎點了點頭。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJg775LwPB
「那對你來說呢？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEnXg8SVm0
「呵呵，對我來說，用處可就大多了……比如，預測未來……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSJzQAJNFW
「預測未來？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX62YELBdxI
魔女閉著眼，沒有回答。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx8aPfdyQP
「魔女小姐？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04Phq6sE3L
魔女睜開眼，看了看阿嘉莎。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUhCliNi8e
「占星……你聽過嗎？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtgxL6zs5X
「聽過。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKYpEfgQFR
「那可是項很有趣的活動……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0QrRImxIE
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkpH6Umguq
啪——78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqrFV1rFMy
魔女闔上書本。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx5uHf7Shr
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde32jcKeU1
「你應該不是來找我聊天的吧，小修女？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87dk9Ot751
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iJk9MvxPe
聽到這句，阿嘉莎突然想起原本的目的。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5za5f4pzEr
「啊對……抱歉。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ux6cVqKY2
她趕忙整理起食物，遞給魔女。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ8GxxdeTk
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2DCVOFWpR
「魔女小姐，你不是說……你可以阻止瘟疫嗎？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDrU7zpMUW
「嗯，種摸了（怎麼了）？」魔女嘴裡含著食物，咬字不清地回覆。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOPzfTLgmg
「聞言已經傳播到村裡了……我希望你……你可以幫幫我們……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYdZbQBggP
魔女停下進食，抬頭看向阿嘉莎。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7T2tbYGVw
阿嘉莎慌亂地擺擺手。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu29i2zqQr
「啊不，抱歉……你才剛從火刑架上下來，大概不是很愉快吧……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdJIxeLjp8
阿嘉莎低著頭，她感覺自己其實沒什麼臉求魔女幫助村莊。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTj30amSLK
「好，帶我去。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3ie9FQ206
「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？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2sPIwKSr0
阿嘉突然意識到魔女的回答。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY0Yo1YeW2
「我說，帶我過去吧。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxDTdDn6el
魔女微笑著抬起手，將鐐銬露出……78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhhqfgielb
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB21My11XA
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlDnJfFV9K
一路上避開村民，不過因為人很少，很輕易就做到了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK42BlhrKUJ
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnblhxKRIWt
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfcmFvB8w6
禮貌性地敲了敲門，阿嘉莎推開木門，進到屋內。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJqUk2IGv3
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtqjoN497H
「呼……呼……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8msMIKmHl3
「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！」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc5g2jHPDN
「嗚喔！」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xBnoFSAQg
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTPZc4ZYNl
碰！78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSEMaCVRrD
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjhO8INkzd
嚇得塞繆爾猛地一動，整個椅子翻倒，他也摔落在地。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ke8eerNZH
「呃……痛痛痛……怎麼回事？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm8VMeGTl8
「我帶了，魔女小姐……她說她能治療神父……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD5OkOpItu
塞繆爾稍微側身，看到阿嘉莎從身後進屋的魔女。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGMsNzN5nr
魔女朝他做出優雅的微笑和行禮……78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vv7S6ojGT
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UngN8fN3x
魔女輕輕抬起米德魯神父的手，檢查他的狀況。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwGM536qTk
「發燒……高溫……嗯，正常的反應……不過比較輕微……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvbXNlmmkw
她嘴裡唸唸有詞。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvBeUM9tVD
「沒皮疹？奇怪……不對，誤差正常……每個人狀況不同……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPoYp9WSuS
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tUfVjb1M7
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlT6lvFmwL
一會後，魔女放下神父的手。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06JfI6f7mM
「嗯嗯……小修女？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg0fS38FkV
「我在。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURcpyHKaOc
「有紙和筆嗎？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIoMFHoz3e
「我有，我給你，等等……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwT9OmDwzg
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU7JGTXDZX
魔女在紙上寫了些詞彙，然後遞給阿嘉莎。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDTwitSmtK
「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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux0h5Yw6DW
「這麼簡單啊……」塞繆爾有些不可置信。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIq7he3AHY
「呵呵，就是這麼簡單。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrCcC9id3g
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLXMGNGNLJ
不過阿嘉莎沒有回應，她盯著紙上的字好久。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0jFs1ximu
「怎麼了嗎，小修女？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLamg4fQzPN
「那個……我看不懂……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLFQd7M6NT
阿嘉莎把紙條遞回去。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnKpIrSKTL
上面寫的詞彙，全部都是奇怪的符號，應該說，異族文字。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4qkoVHrbu
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4NOhjamcr
這次阿嘉莎看得懂了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFj2Jj9PES
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeKULd5Cfn
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZYP2TIcoZ
兩天後，神父的病好了……78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqRV4KSdsW
接著，又過一個禮拜，村人們服用藥物後通通痊癒了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NFc37rRIR
彷彿瘟疫從來沒有來過一樣。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6h2MPdshT
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnGsVyQg3X
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5Eg2fAXN3
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd505Ei9K2
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RyPXGhEMU
人們歡呼著，紛紛相信魔女並非魔女——而是上主的使者。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1A0i2pYLS
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmMKqz2DNr
她是這裡第一起翻案的魔女被告……78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GVJARshOm
