Chapter 51: Distressed

Apprenticeship with Martin was not as complicated as Regner had imagined, there were no rituals, no prayers, and even the etiquette was very simple. Erin gave Martin a mentor-apprentice salute, and Martin returned the favor, and then gave Erin a staff as a greeting gift, and they had completed all the etiquette.

And the gift Martin gave to Erin was very valuable. The staff, called Daybreak, is a very useful weapon for priests. It boosts the wielder's Light spells, and for Erin, its effect is to make her healing more effective.

Regner knew very well how precious this staff was, and it might not be as good as the one that Annelot had taken during the race a few days ago, but there was no doubt that even this one, if thrown in the weapons shop, would probably be a high-end item with tens of thousands of gold coins, and it would have to be the largest weapon shop in Melindel to be able to buy it.

So when he saw the staff, Regner instinctively wanted to refuse, but Martin stopped him in advance.

"All right, kid. I think you know a little bit more than Irene. Martin smiled and looked at Regner and whispered, "I don't deny that I want to get some convenience from Erin as a god, but in the same way, I like Erin very much. So, I hope she can live a little better. This staff may be a bit more valuable as a gift, but it is not a small item to a god. You can take it with peace of mind. ”

Seeing that Martin's tone was so sincere, Regner dispelled his doubts and let Erin accept the Dawn Light. And the naΓ―ve Erin naturally didn't know how much this dawn light was worth, she only felt that this thing always exuded a faint milky white light, which was both beautiful and practical, so she couldn't put it down the moment Martin took it out. And when she got Regner's affirmation, the innocent half-elf girl immediately smiled and regarded it as her own treasure.

......

After returning to the hotel, Regner proudly announced that Erin had become the priest of Perro, and that she was directly a level 10 priest!

Regner will probably never forget the expressions on Cordak and Vera at that time. The eyes of the two of them were as wide as an egg, and their mouths were wide enough to fit an apple with ease.

Now that there is a mid-level priest by his side, the injuries of Regner and Kordaq in the next few days will be completely handled by Erin. But Irene's own confidence in these things is not very confident, after all, although she can take care of people, but it is the first time she has done such a thing as using healing techniques to treat other people's injuries, so she always shirks at the beginning, afraid that she will not be able to do it well.

"What are you afraid of? Lao Tzu is strong! Even if I say the wrong spell and throw me a secret word, I will be able to resist it!" Kordaq waved his arm and patted his chest, he was full of confidence to cheer Erin on.

In the end, under the unremitting encouragement and persuasion of the people around her, Erin finally mustered up the courage to perform the healing technique for the first time according to the knowledge that Pero had instilled in her. Originally, Kordak was ready to endure some hardships, after all, although Erin was a middle-level priest. But as a novice pastor, you need to know that there is a big difference between a new and a skilled pastor.

But for the sake of his brother-in-law's self-confidence, he felt that even if he was the eldest brother who lay in bed for a few more days, it was nothing, and his game was over anyway. It's been a few days since he's recuperating, and his only worry is that if Erin really throws him the Dark Word Technique and makes herself disabled, it won't be worth it.

However, the result surprised everyone, and Erin's healing technique was surprisingly effective. Cordak even felt that even Martin himself wouldn't necessarily be much better than her. Despite the help of Daybreaker, everyone has to admit that Erin is indeed a qualified priest, and can even be said to be a genius!

In fact, this is not that Erin has much talent, but just because of Pero's memory indoctrination. You must know that the magic trick that Pei Luo poured into Erin must be the most standard and effective, and under the effect of divine power, Erin wrote down all the knowledge without missing a bit. All she had to do was rely on her memory to do it, and maybe it might be a little rusty at first, but Erin had done no less than a hundred exercises before treating Kordak, and when she gave Kordak it, there would be no problems.

After crossing this first hurdle, Erin was visibly more confident. She sorted out her memories, and then when it came to treating Kordak's injuries, she methodically used her magic skills, bandaging his wounds with her hands and feet, and seeing the calm and skillful movements, several people almost thought that Erin had been a priest for several years.

After the change of mentality, there is a change in temperament. At first, when the Kordaq and the others first met Erin, she was like a poor kitten abandoned by the whole world. Timid, vigilant, in addition to Regner, even when facing Kordak and Vera, there is always a little fear and trepidation, which makes it very heart-wrenching to be a big brother and sister, what kind of experience can make this girl timid?

And now, Erin is noticeably more cheerful and optimistic than she used to be. She also started joking around with Vera and Kordak, and occasionally with Innellis. The three of them were very happy with Erin's change, but the only one who was a little depressed was Regner. Because he found that Erin's attitude towards him in the past two days has been particularly bad, huh...... If it's not quite right, if you have to describe it, Erin feels like he owes this girl tens of thousands of gold coins.

"Have I offended her in the past two days?" Regner asked Iniris in private, and among these people, she and Erin knew her the best.

"Hmph, have you offended fewer people, Sister Annie, you haven't settled it yet!" said Iniris's little face with disdain.

"If you don't hit someone, you don't slap your face, you don't expose your shortcomings, it's not cute for Ini to do this. Regner said with a dark face.

"Cut! who wants to be cute?!" Iniris changed her face to disdain.

"......" Regner was choked for a long time, and he finally had to choose to compromise: "Okay, my little aunt, can you help me ask Erin why? ”

"Hmph, the man who stepped on three boats at the same time is embarrassed to say that he behaved well, why is Brother Regna so shameless?!" Innellis thought to herself, but she finally agreed to help Regna ask with an impatient face.

But the result was nothing, in fact, the reason why Erin is like this is very simple, it is because of the trouble caused by Perro's gift before.

Although Erin voluntarily gave up that shocking beauty for Regner, it was for Regner's sake anyway. So the half-elf girl always had a strange psychology in the past two days, that is, she felt that because of Regner's existence, she would continue to be ugly.

Although Erin herself knew that this idea was completely unreasonable, she could not help but think so. So in the rest of her life, although Erin will not resent Regner because of this, she will always be more or less petty. This was something that had never been seen before for Erin, who had always been obedient and gentle, so Regner's first reaction was not to coax her, but to be surprised. In fact, if he had said a few nice things to coax her like he had done to Inniris, Erin would have regained her old self soon. But he was just stunned by Irene's performance, completely forgetting what he should do at this time......

In the end, after Innellis asked to no avail, Regner had no choice but to go out in person.

"Erin, my little Irene?" said Regner, smiling when he had time in the evening.

"What for?" replied Erin lukewarmly, she had been quite sad for the past two days. He gave up so many things for Regner, but no one except Perot knew about it. After all, no one will believe this thing at all! So, she looked at Regner's heartless appearance of giggling with other people for the past two days, and her heart was on fire. The attitude towards Regner also became bad unconsciously. In fact, she only ships goods when she treats Regner, who is closest to her, and poor little Irene doesn't even dare to be angry with others.

"This ...... Hey, hey, hey. Regner said with his trademark cheap expression: "Brother always thinks that you are not in a good mood these two days, what's wrong?

"I didn't ...... It's nothing ......" Erin also noticed that she had a bad attitude towards Regna these days, she was a little reluctant to go, and now Regna took the initiative to come to communicate with her, which made the kind Erin apologize. But she knew that two days were the day of Regna's game, and she knew how important it was for Regner. Therefore, she didn't want Regner to be distracted by her own careful thoughts at this time.

"Erin, you know what?" Regner's tone was a little more serious.

"What?"

"Every time you lie, the roots of your ears turn red. Regner smiled and said, "And it's red again now." ”

"I ......"

"Tell me, Irene. Regner looked at the half-elf girl and said sincerely, "I want you to be happy every day, so I don't want to see you bothered by anything." You tell me and I'll help you out, don't worry about me. Your Regner brother is very good now!"

"I'm really fine, Brother Regner. Erin also looked at Regner and said seriously: "I admit that I may be a little upset right now, but I can assure you that this is not a big deal, and I can solve it alone." ”

"But are you going to let me watch you so distressed?" asked Regner.

"It is impossible for everyone to be happy all the time, and it is because of sadness that we can understand the beauty and preciousness of happiness. Erin said, "So, it's normal for me to be upset. You don't have to be overly nervous about it. And, Brother Regner, don't you notice?"

"Discovery, discovery?" Regner was stunned.

Erin looked at Regner, and she sighed faintly and said, "Don't you realize that you are carrying too much on your back?"

β€œ......”

"I, Sister Anne, little Ini, and Big Brother Kordak and Sister Vera. Erin said, "I know that we people are important to you, and I understand your strong desire to protect us. But I don't want to see you take everything on yourself......"

Erin unconsciously reached out and gently touched Regner's face: "You have to help Big Brother Kordak take revenge, help Sister Vera take care of the lives of our people, spend every day to make Inni happy, make her happy every day, and think about me as a novice priest all day long." Meantime...... It won't be long before you have the problem of Sister Anne that you care about the most. And now, you're going to come and help me solve my troubles...... You've pretty much everything on your own. ”

"Are you saying I'm over-controlling?" said Ragner, with some bitterness.

"No, Brother Regner, I definitely didn't mean that. Erin hurriedly said, "I'm just...... It's just that...... I just feel sorry for you...... You must be very tired of working so hard and working so hard, right? You must be very tired, seeing you so tired, I ...... I'm distressed...... I'm really distressed......"

Tears trickled down Erin's face as she spoke, and she pressed her head against Regner's chest, feeling the sound of a powerful heartbeat coming from his solid chest. After some time, she muttered, "You are the only person I can rely on in this world, I am scared, I am really afraid that I will lose you...... So, don't try so hard, okay, if one day you get tired, what are we going to do......? I don't want to go back to the old days. So, please, Brother Regner, don't try so hard anymore...... I...... I'm really scared......"

Regner held Erin in his arms, and his heart was overwhelmed. Indeed, only Erin, only a thoughtful and gentle girl like Erin can truly understand herself and be truly considerate of herself.

Although he has left the Reims Continent, it is said that he has stayed away from those bloody killings and right and wrong. But is he really relaxed? Of course not? Not only does he have to think about everyone around him, but he also has to think about Anne Lot and himself, and he has to think about the MIA and the Lunaris Thieves Guild.

Although he seemed to have distanced himself from these mundane trivial matters, he knew that even a single thought of his own could drag himself and the people around him into that dangerous whirlpool again. As such, he's been almost always in disguise since coming to Melindell, and if it weren't for the fight with Rego who knocked off his mask, he might have continued to disguise.

So, isn't Regner tired, can he not be tired? But he never said it, because he felt that it was worth it for the sake of his companions.

"I don't want to. Regner put his arm around Erin and sighed softly and said, "But I have to fight hard, because it's not just you who are afraid, I'm even more afraid, there are some things that I have experienced, so I don't want to go through it again, and I don't want you to go through it again!" ”

As Regner said this, his mind flashed to the bloody battlefield, with his head and limbs discarded everywhere like garbage. And the most terrifying of them were the three corpses. It was Selenos, Jarhart, and Minnie. Even after all this time, he still felt the chill that even his soul would tremble when he recalled the scene. These images are like stimulants that constantly give him strength, urge him, and even whip him forward, forcing him to fight hard.

"Brother Regner......" Erin burst into tears when she heard Regner's answer.

Regner couldn't bear it, so he could only pat her on the shoulder, and then said: "Don't worry, I said that I am very strong, how can I fall down so easily?" Moreover, I am here to promise you, if I really can't hold on, I will tell you, tell you all. Trust me, okay?"

"......" Erin withdrew from Regner's arms, she looked at Regner's serious and determined look, and finally could only nod slightly.

"Okay, I'll leave you alone today, but you want to promise me that you can handle it yourself, promise me?" Regner touched Erin's little head.

"Hmm. Erin nodded vigorously.

"Very well, I promised you one thing, you promised me one thing, then even if we made an agreement, remember? What if someone breaks the contract?" asked Regner with a smile.

"Who's the puppy!" Erin finally laughed.

"That's it!" Regner nodded in satisfaction, "This is my Irene!"

PS: This ...... The plot of these chapters has dragged on a bit, but Hometown feels that it is worth spending more ink for the role of Erin. It can be revealed here that in fact, at the beginning of the setting, only Erin was the real heroine. And Anne was originally just a supporting role filled in to get through the gap between the early wooden heroines, but the hometown liked the role of Anne more and more (does this prove that the hometown likes cold and arrogant girls?!), so in the end, Anne replaced Erin as the first heroine. Of course, her hometown will not treat Erin badly, and she will have a lot of wonderful scenes in the future stories, so I will compensate her first. Well, that's pretty much it!
