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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlEpuQQBh9
不知何時，太陽默默地躲了起來，天空變得灰濛濛的。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbJt2IcbES
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFbMT1Vct9
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7d6E1NrMX
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEXArxuPWE
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnBHIqxAQz
瘟疫，到了。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuIOkx5rjL
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF62pRIobt
早上，慣例的彌撒結束……80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iHSHse1ih
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOKROHDk5l
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAVj7kWvcy
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedksSGg2Rl
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……80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveUV3AGq7k
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZofLp22PK
「……阿們。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMbxOvKpYa
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwoxWJbNE2
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi4AKpVqYv
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8irmyvDwYo
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……80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDAK6obMiK
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8ZJ77gose
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgHFpy3uNN
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhi7g38ISR
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ9EJIYIFF
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYmw4utQbf
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8add654Au
大概率不是，但萬一是呢？80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJaVeKYjXF
這是目前村人們主流的想法。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIccy7rsEFA
而阿嘉莎，打算利用這個想法……80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpuEp3FRs9
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhSVMiPZYW
喀——80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr2q6I9tTh
厚重的倉庫門被輕輕推開，阿嘉莎小心翼翼地闔上門。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3shHCJdAS
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8TIMXPohV
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj1B4U1J6P
阿嘉莎終於忍不住了：「魔女小姐，您到底在讀什麼書呀？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVDYIB1wkV
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgyXSSv7DB
聽到阿嘉莎的聲音，魔女微微抬起頭。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6A4pSSPnp
「這本嗎？你可以自己來看看，這是怎麼樣的一本書。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2oS7HyBdv
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN962G6wo6
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbNKHCwAG9
「我看看……」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRQVz6ialt
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl3J5qlLaq
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PoIpdeCAg
「這個是什麼？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelgvKZOIPW
「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？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1742S1PMpy
「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？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgnptvBU78
「呵呵……看到熊尾巴了嗎？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyvEZLq4bK
「嗯。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrIHEx7hxP
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。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgnBVs849Q
阿嘉莎點了點頭。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnBnWlaou5
「那對你來說呢？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JVQ0Dr9tK
「呵呵，對我來說，用處可就大多了……比如，預測未來……」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLG88wNgNQ
「預測未來？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMr6HmVHMc
魔女閉著眼，沒有回答。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuGqupKnBy
「魔女小姐？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hGZJSqL4g
魔女睜開眼，看了看阿嘉莎。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkvr9bInNm
「占星……你聽過嗎？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS47kpM19AE
「聽過。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4j2z90jez
「那可是項很有趣的活動……」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7OeGhTdl0
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2vNf3T08l
啪——80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCMkNYsZgb
魔女闔上書本。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgr1yiuGQ1
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOrvvXWcPW
「你應該不是來找我聊天的吧，小修女？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDhAfNAZa9
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabRmZApM9d
聽到這句，阿嘉莎突然想起原本的目的。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw5mTKJUVp
「啊對……抱歉。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjELnjV2Vw
她趕忙整理起食物，遞給魔女。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kTkIRqJ9P
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXcEV5wZs3
「魔女小姐，你不是說……你可以阻止瘟疫嗎？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN9fI5on1t
「嗯，種摸了（怎麼了）？」魔女嘴裡含著食物，咬字不清地回覆。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtxZKbRn2l
「聞言已經傳播到村裡了……我希望你……你可以幫幫我們……」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7XGcQWpn3
魔女停下進食，抬頭看向阿嘉莎。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvOs9r8FwB
阿嘉莎慌亂地擺擺手。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz7Zrezywp
「啊不，抱歉……你才剛從火刑架上下來，大概不是很愉快吧……」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXoe556AWA
阿嘉莎低著頭，她感覺自己其實沒什麼臉求魔女幫助村莊。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnIWH3rsfh
「好，帶我去。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7lQNkQuhE
「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？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLywEVrBlr
阿嘉突然意識到魔女的回答。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoh8xp3IqG
「我說，帶我過去吧。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsPzvnTaY8
魔女微笑著抬起手，將鐐銬露出……80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78dj6pcOQq
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIeDc1oZLj
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFwNFg6Lak
一路上避開村民，不過因為人很少，很輕易就做到了。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoiZJQtHgy
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDgYM9ACIt
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbuh4VQyEd
禮貌性地敲了敲門，阿嘉莎推開木門，進到屋內。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFa8dXwsxu
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMxeBdny3W
「呼……呼……」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsAMRbHIop
「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！」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzTEiFte9j
「嗚喔！」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxsqjR69dz
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62cHXHSQjs
碰！80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC2O6FPGxj
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULXImh1oxN
嚇得塞繆爾猛地一動，整個椅子翻倒，他也摔落在地。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8b6dowDC1
「呃……痛痛痛……怎麼回事？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJyT2WPyCp
「我帶了，魔女小姐……她說她能治療神父……」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAecDXXzbdO
塞繆爾稍微側身，看到阿嘉莎從身後進屋的魔女。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YQAWyds2N
魔女朝他做出優雅的微笑和行禮……80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDjYjluh6F
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8RjEefuDQ
魔女輕輕抬起米德魯神父的手，檢查他的狀況。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfCtwYsrlH
「發燒……高溫……嗯，正常的反應……不過比較輕微……」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTERr3MECLa
她嘴裡唸唸有詞。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh5IEEJneB
「沒皮疹？奇怪……不對，誤差正常……每個人狀況不同……」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMc7PDsvyd
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPufZ8bByk
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VRkm31yIV
一會後，魔女放下神父的手。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD8VbM9np8
「嗯嗯……小修女？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjNn3y4VJN
「我在。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhiR77jumU
「有紙和筆嗎？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtyedFXNOj
「我有，我給你，等等……」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGndRE5i6TZ
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDZ4JTYFYV
魔女在紙上寫了些詞彙，然後遞給阿嘉莎。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsj0uGz0eR
「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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYlGTcJ2KO
「這麼簡單啊……」塞繆爾有些不可置信。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8OFgsaihR
「呵呵，就是這麼簡單。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpf11NH1Rc
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAerTq4wbd
不過阿嘉莎沒有回應，她盯著紙上的字好久。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0epgL2UzqX
「怎麼了嗎，小修女？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86WRfYx4Ej
「那個……我看不懂……」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD70uBiIAJH
阿嘉莎把紙條遞回去。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamZ7VDyFOB
上面寫的詞彙，全部都是奇怪的符號，應該說，異族文字。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVffATJ9p8
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzCl3gv13e
這次阿嘉莎看得懂了。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2KrsZNax1
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEqa7YwzpK
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMCczgalrC
兩天後，神父的病好了……80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOMvl9PLcf
接著，又過一個禮拜，村人們服用藥物後通通痊癒了。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptXeLGolID
彷彿瘟疫從來沒有來過一樣。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxGvuN3oUX
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKmLECrGGp
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Baey5RXlc
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtilnHGpaS
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy51L046C8
人們歡呼著，紛紛相信魔女並非魔女——而是上主的使者。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XhM28APbA
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR0nYAsk3E
她是這裡第一起翻案的魔女被告……80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD6YXHp5V0
