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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mQB2301Dv
不知何時，太陽默默地躲了起來，天空變得灰濛濛的。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks0nJwx5K6
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJfF1x2oKT
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH9FVAGa4j
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf7XY7oefd
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ9Ywv0rTm
瘟疫，到了。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXBGER4zng
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDowhXnzHS
早上，慣例的彌撒結束……96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qE4Xa1hbl
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsK2zsLo2L
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBo5MZ57QY
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP1ATSgsVB
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……96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPz6VQ46f8
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxXbWBSpVC
「……阿們。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXoyQZ0Qrl
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0H90ZPchN
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1FQPsYfJp
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmIyxT2c6q
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……96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF7QJBQBl4
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKJW6ismtV
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8oqVQ5K3j
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZWKcktC53
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvhBHpNfH2
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sfkXrHVwY
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaQb1fihyp
大概率不是，但萬一是呢？96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yc5f6s3yx
這是目前村人們主流的想法。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwHW8yQ6rE
而阿嘉莎，打算利用這個想法……96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVbi8DBoEX
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqIKD5eVLJ
喀——96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNUU5m0wq1
厚重的倉庫門被輕輕推開，阿嘉莎小心翼翼地闔上門。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapEGJLaiDe
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc0jtMwu94
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDQnQljtJY
阿嘉莎終於忍不住了：「魔女小姐，您到底在讀什麼書呀？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgURJCgcrAE
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuBRXPYgtY
聽到阿嘉莎的聲音，魔女微微抬起頭。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu37NHnC8z
「這本嗎？你可以自己來看看，這是怎麼樣的一本書。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXk1sUjQlZ
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzK3Zdlmqp
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92RbIPuqvu
「我看看……」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPqQ61xZ1V
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskHsNh0o6R
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6ykngKh5d
「這個是什麼？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT02dQnjVP
「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？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBllDwvxWR
「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？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtSgEMfxXy
「呵呵……看到熊尾巴了嗎？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGBn6XskZC
「嗯。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl4g9JbwXJ
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。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn5SihgROV
阿嘉莎點了點頭。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VMxPBJi0i
「那對你來說呢？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp5tjBX2iz
「呵呵，對我來說，用處可就大多了……比如，預測未來……」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6rpc8zE7e
「預測未來？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAzMwjVLci
魔女閉著眼，沒有回答。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqSrHG2Ps2
「魔女小姐？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDk9uT7s1a
魔女睜開眼，看了看阿嘉莎。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrHHr1CNK6
「占星……你聽過嗎？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcVOes7wjg
「聽過。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN0nfDFlB2
「那可是項很有趣的活動……」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh9mSSFZDx
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr2bH2iGVc
啪——96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhHCbtM4jF
魔女闔上書本。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgO4ell0Jq
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fgUwu6tVw
「你應該不是來找我聊天的吧，小修女？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw2qPn61Oj
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wf4v5HJYy
聽到這句，阿嘉莎突然想起原本的目的。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtLq4YLanA
「啊對……抱歉。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGb29TYVE3
她趕忙整理起食物，遞給魔女。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7vPv6HaLg
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzOLXVuU5r
「魔女小姐，你不是說……你可以阻止瘟疫嗎？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlcTVjB4dK
「嗯，種摸了（怎麼了）？」魔女嘴裡含著食物，咬字不清地回覆。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgbvCfKDkK
「聞言已經傳播到村裡了……我希望你……你可以幫幫我們……」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09iFNlWnXS
魔女停下進食，抬頭看向阿嘉莎。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0khSeayxs
阿嘉莎慌亂地擺擺手。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5JujXVk7W
「啊不，抱歉……你才剛從火刑架上下來，大概不是很愉快吧……」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIefFC9Ufmu
阿嘉莎低著頭，她感覺自己其實沒什麼臉求魔女幫助村莊。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi3hM1D3CG
「好，帶我去。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZvjZ0wMOG
「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？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2qgmXweQY
阿嘉突然意識到魔女的回答。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe3vJRsAse
「我說，帶我過去吧。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBofVTvyHS
魔女微笑著抬起手，將鐐銬露出……96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIJIr3LhTl
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4m7LmzdzD
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRNh4mSqGH
一路上避開村民，不過因為人很少，很輕易就做到了。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj4VRK9r8G
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD4QqgVs2X
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3roGWyqxw
禮貌性地敲了敲門，阿嘉莎推開木門，進到屋內。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1whV2UOefO
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD41qpS3P4
「呼……呼……」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV4pyhRv2y
「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！」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlcKWTW6FA
「嗚喔！」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqcA6s7UTd
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RbrUzKWsM
碰！96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUQsrjVYVW
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCVyZE3Pwr
嚇得塞繆爾猛地一動，整個椅子翻倒，他也摔落在地。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcefh4k2mK
「呃……痛痛痛……怎麼回事？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaJcta1amR
「我帶了，魔女小姐……她說她能治療神父……」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtDETnwrzT
塞繆爾稍微側身，看到阿嘉莎從身後進屋的魔女。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbcXMyVQ9y
魔女朝他做出優雅的微笑和行禮……96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYtOyY1Aat
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrlxjoHr61
魔女輕輕抬起米德魯神父的手，檢查他的狀況。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvReXledS4
「發燒……高溫……嗯，正常的反應……不過比較輕微……」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJZQNsw774
她嘴裡唸唸有詞。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMSEwRNL8a
「沒皮疹？奇怪……不對，誤差正常……每個人狀況不同……」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA5xWOqqga
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSI5cMzjfc
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMibXdqSPI
一會後，魔女放下神父的手。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWglOTmPkp
「嗯嗯……小修女？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjyQg1sNnY
「我在。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qc6aOFd93
「有紙和筆嗎？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC4XDiX9t3
「我有，我給你，等等……」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxdB2HAsi8
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihtnd94UVz
魔女在紙上寫了些詞彙，然後遞給阿嘉莎。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF0PyHd1rW
「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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtstaUH0gtJ
「這麼簡單啊……」塞繆爾有些不可置信。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDx0qEHKkH
「呵呵，就是這麼簡單。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1wV7IEEul
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseL0y3TB84
不過阿嘉莎沒有回應，她盯著紙上的字好久。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAj7zBPEZn
「怎麼了嗎，小修女？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J80MQcqLz
「那個……我看不懂……」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdPh3pqqRa
阿嘉莎把紙條遞回去。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhC3QjlUKz
上面寫的詞彙，全部都是奇怪的符號，應該說，異族文字。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLkftkjsVo
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmxpD9QmSL
這次阿嘉莎看得懂了。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSdKonpK6x
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxxN7fSHK5
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwDFdVbKoJ
兩天後，神父的病好了……96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DeUQt8MgL
接著，又過一個禮拜，村人們服用藥物後通通痊癒了。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcXc1ccuG2
彷彿瘟疫從來沒有來過一樣。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM6UC5kDtb
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMEye3HvLy
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ghfprJW17
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpCfi9cdQo
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfB0lgfk3B
人們歡呼著，紛紛相信魔女並非魔女——而是上主的使者。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhT7PFrG3O
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。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy3S3a7zGG
她是這裡第一起翻案的魔女被告……96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ854rnONNnA
