The Book I Wrote Became the Bible - Chapter 43
43 – Healing a Paralyzed Man (2)
The day after he thoughtlessly asked Ignis to treat a sick man on the street.
Simon, Iaco, and I were staying at a nearby inn.
Simon opened the curtains slightly and looked down at the outside of the inn.
“Aww sir. It was scattered around the inn. It seems that yesterday’s incident spread as a rumor?”
Sure. It just raised a sick person on the street, but what kind of ripple effect is this? Not even in a big city, but in a small provincial town.
“If you are a teacher, you must have done it on purpose to bring people together! You are so amazing, sir!”
No. I didn’t mean to.
I must have been ignorant of what the people of this world, and ordinary people, thought of paralytics.
Before that, I acted too complacently.
To do something unnecessary in such an open space.
What the hell did I do for my favorite character or an extra that wasn’t even a co-worker… !
“Teacher! Shall I open it?”
“Do that….”
The door opened, revealing the innkeeper, a bald, muscular looking man. He probably retired from a mercenary life and set up an inn. Since there are innkeepers like that, they probably won’t be able to enter the inn carelessly.
“I… customer. I came here because people outside seemed to be looking for a guest. At first, I blocked it because I thought it would disturb other guests, but I don’t know what to do….”
He looks so scary, but he’s strangely kind. I thought they were very scary because they were blocking them from entering.
“Teacher! Once I go out…… !”
“Okay. I’m going out to meet them.”
“Thank you sir! Thank you!”
So the innkeeper left.
“That innkeeper… I heard from other guests that he is very violent and scary…… Strangely, the teacher is an author. I don’t think I’ve ever found out the teacher’s true identity…… !”
Do you know what I am? First of all, I am a normal human being. What is there to find out?
Anyway, wasn’t that innkeeper originally this kind? Then why me? Could it be that she healed the paralyzed patient?
This may be a bigger deal than what I did yesterday.
Accompanied by Simon and Iaco, I came down to the first floor, opened the door, and went outside. OK… ….
“I waited, sir! Please take my arm!”
“I waited all night! I don’t want to die! Help me!”
“Teacher! Me too!”
Dozens of people were waiting.
No, how the hell did this rumor come about? There’s no proof that I cured the sick man, so how did you find out?
…… No This is the only hope, so did he come with the feeling of grabbing straw?
A sick man whose arms are completely stiff and twisted strangely, making him look ugly.
A sick man whose legs were completely frozen and brought here on a stretcher by others.
A sick man who desperately searches for me while running around even though his eyes are hardened and he cannot see properly.
This is the sick who cannot be cured even though they are paralyzed. Waiting for death…… Poor people.
This may be the first time I have properly faced the lives of commoners who have nothing.
It’s been 10 years since I came to this world, but I was born into the Persleyno family and lived happily.
Even outside, I always took Hans with me and enjoyed safe adventures.
Occasionally, I went out secretly as an escape, but within the Pulse Rayno estate.
Since this is a manor run by my father, I have never seen such miserable people.
[Deus Ex Machina] Didn’t show this kind of figure properly either.

In the first place, until now, these extras. I wasn’t really interested….
It feels strange to find me like this.
We don’t even have a one-sided relationship.
It’s not like I’m losing anything by treating them.
Rather, it might only spread rumors and adversely affect what I am trying to do in the long run.
I want to treat them.
I want to bring them out of despair.
I want to ‘save’ them.
“A stroke…… Is it?”
“Yes, sir!”
“My hands are stiff from the stroke!”
“Please save me, sir! You are our last hope!”
“I will give you all my possessions! So please my mother! hehehe!”
At the very front, a man tipped over an elderly woman on his back, collected coins, and held them out to me.
Coins that are gritty and dirty.
It’s probably the wealth that I’ve accumulated all my life in that situation. To be treated by a priest for my mother’s treatment.
In order to receive treatment from the priest, it is an amount you could not even dream of saving your whole life… Was it collected like crazy for the sake of the mother?
Knowing that it is impossible makes me feel more depressed.
These are my last hope.
Without me…….
“Summon. Ignis.”
A burning flame wrapped warmly around my back.
-Did you call me, Luke?
Can they all do it?
-If Luke wants it.
In that case, please, Ignis.
Ignis replied with a grin.
-Everything according to Luke’s will.

Thump thump
“Bishop~! Bishop! It’s a big deal!”
A priest with only the top of his head shaved was knocking on the door.
Kung
“What’s going on… I should have told you not to come in at this hour.”
The door opened, revealing a naked bishop who was hastily donning a robe. Behind the bishop, a similarly naked woman gasped and covered herself with a blanket.
“Oh! I’m sorry, Bishop! I’m not interrupting the fun!”
“Enough. What’s up? If it’s not important, you really die.”
“Ah! It’s a big deal, Bishop! Some strange guy is said to be treating the sick in the city!”
“…… What? What do you mean by that?”
“That, that is to say, at first, a strange man whom I have never seen in this city appeared and treated a paralyzed patient on the street!”
“A priest with divine power? It’s special to be on the street. A guy who deserves to be healed by a priest wouldn’t choose the street as a place of treatment. It can take a long time to heal.”
“It is said that it healed in an instant! And above all that… They said they didn’t get a reward!”
“…… What? In an instant? That would be difficult even with the holy power of a saint! No but what? Don’t take the case? Can a priest do that? …… Got it. I know what happened.”
“Yes?”
“This is another denomination’s scheme to steal our territory. By pretending to heal without accepting donations, we make public opinion against us. It must have been that he did not actually heal, but pretended to heal through a fake sick person.”
“Ah… no way!”
“Then I understand. Who is it anyway Guys with no morals! Are you trying to take our territory?”
“Yeah, but just before, it was said that it wasn’t just one or two people!”
“Ah?”
“That…… At least 20 or more paralytics were cured at once…… It is also said that they are the sick people who originally lived in this city. I came to ask the commoners!”
“…… Does that make sense 20 people? That would be impossible even for a saint or a saint. If the. Suppose there is someone who has done such a thing. If so, he must be a god who has descended to this land. I know because I’ve seen the miracle of the saintess. No one will ever do that.”
“Yeah, but… ….”
“But what! It’s all lies and smoke! …… Still, we’ll have to check who’s trying to steal our rice bowl. Good. Let’s go.”
“Yes, yes!”
* * *
The next day, the sick on the street were treated, and the paralytic patients who came the next day were all cured in one place with the power of Ignis.
The inn was surrounded by more people.
I can’t tell exactly what they’re talking about because the windows were pushed tight and people couldn’t come inside the inn.
Well, maybe it’s something like asking them to treat themselves.
But the soundproofing here is subtly good. It is a nice inn.
The problem is that none of them seem to be paralyzed patients.
If you are a paralyzed patient, how can I be cured with the power of Ignis, but in the case of other diseases, it is difficult for me to do.
I got two bottles of ‘elixir’ just in case, but I can’t use it for people I don’t know. These are insurance for my precious characters.
But I don’t think ‘gift’ will cure their disease….
In fact, there is no need to treat the diseases of those who do not know who they are.
However, they came to me with hope because I did something with impulsive emotions yesterday. With the slightest hope that their ailments could be cured.
What comes to mind is the reaction of paralytic patients yesterday.
-Thank you sir!
– Even the priests turned away and ignored us!
-You are our lifesaver!
No matter how late I was in [Deus Ex Machina] And I’ve grown a lot over the past 10 years, I’ve never been treated like this before.
He’s just an ordinary prince of the grand duke’s family.
I was treated like a savior.
…… Feeling for the first time.
Be the savior…….
I’m looking for a colleague.
This isn’t the time to be playing savior here.
Huh? But if we gather people like this here, isn’t it possible that she will be among the onlookers?
Huh?
Then Simon opened the door and came in.
“Seo, teacher! Yes, the priests! The priests have come to see you!”
Priest?
“Now the teacher on the 1st floor is making a fuss by telling me to come down!”
What? What the hell is going on?
