Lin Xu fell asleep for a while, and he didn't know how long, he felt that someone around him had left in a daze, Lin Xu gently pulled the hands of the people around him according to the habits of his previous life, rubbed his thumb in his palm a few times, and then gently stroked his back to his buttocks a few times to show his farewell.

The people around him seemed to be a little sluggish about Lin Xu's somewhat skillful behavior, and stood by and watched Lin Xu for a long time. Then he exhaled softly and took a light sip on Lin Xu's cheek.

Lin Xu turned his head, buried his head deeply in the pillow, and slept lazily.

……

After waking up, Lin Xu looked at the empty room and the silent pillow, and felt a sense of loss in his heart. Lin Xu washed his face, walked to the entrance of the room, and looked at the letter sent by Hei Mumu late and early in the morning. One of the golden monster skin scrolls tied with dark gold silk ribbons caught Lin Xu's attention. Lin Xu opened the scroll and saw:

"Your Excellency Lin Xu*Jing Lin:

On behalf of the Council of the Round Table of High Priests of Hoglald, I have the honour to inform you that Your Excellency has been officially promoted to the position of Preparatory Priest of Hoglard on December 2, 10029, and is temporarily in charge of the Inspector of the Hezel Deer Trial at the East Trial Site of Hoglald, and the Director of the Phantom Beast Ruins of the Winter Mountains.

Also, to His Excellency the Priest Lin Xu, the Honorable Herzel Dewdruid, Esmeralda, and Aven:

On behalf of the Board of Governors of Hezel Deer College, I have the honour to inform you that Your Excellency has been officially promoted to the rank of Deacon of Hezel Deer on December 2, 10029, and has been instructed by His Excellency Lin Xu to assist the Celebrant of Rinsus, who will make arrangements for his dispatch.

Provost Lucian signed,

On the evening of December 1, 10029. ”

Lin Xu carefully read the contents of this letter of appointment. There are many ways behind these appointments, such as the position of the chief priest deacon, which is attached to different departments and subject to different departments, and its authority and prospects will also be different. Lin Xu's Hoglard prepares for the position of chief priest, which is already the best in terms of the temporary department. Compared to the Preparatory Priests outside the Aprus Basin, Hoglard is naturally half a rank higher, and the Hoglard High Priest Round Table Council will have more freedom and space to move within the Hoglard system than the Preparatory Priests appointed by Hegel Deer or other institutions of Wrath of Nature.

Lin Xu put away the scroll and summoned the Scarlet Tree Spirit Gwynnie to inform Esmeralda and Evan to come and see him.

Half an hour later, the Gypsy siblings came to Lin Xu's room. Lin Xu was pleasantly surprised to find that after three job transfers and Lin Xu's initial embrace, Esmeralda also successfully condensed the first druid rune and officially became a druid shaman. Lin Xu happily hugged the Red Moon Blood Claness, and then encouraged Ai Wen to work hard.

After letting Esmeralda and Evan step back, Lin Xu entered the next round of learning.

December is the end of the year, and at the end of the month, there are Christmas Eve, Christmas, Christmas and New Year's holidays, so this month's class schedule is more compact than in previous months.

Lin reported three courses on "Principles of Nature", which occupied almost half of his time. Fortunately, Lin Xu himself has the foundation of mathematics and physics and academic literacy of a five-year undergraduate major in biology in his previous life, and he still has some spare strength to cope with the "Principles of Nature" class.

Due to the opening of the Killing Light Secret Realm and the concern about future wars, the main castle also opened a detailed explanation course on the power level of the Northern Curia for free, "Introduction to the Holy See Hierarchy", which is worth half a credit. Although the credits are not much, but fortunately, the course is short, as long as it takes two and a half days in a row, the exam can be replaced by the record in the secret realm of killing light, for the Hoglard students who have difficulty obtaining credits, it is a pie in the world, and it immediately fills the entire class.

The venue of the class was placed in the assembly hall after the merger of the two halls of the previous Autumn Festival dinner, and it was the first time that Lin Xu had seen such a large class of the whole school, and many of them in the back row were already graduated Hoglard alumni shamans, who had come from other parts of the Apprus Basin to observe.

The hierarchy of druids is divided into:

Apprentice - Sacrifice - (High Priest) - Shaman - (Great Shaman) - Wizard - High Wizard - Great Wizard......

The hierarchy of the Holy See is divided into two lines: Paladins and Priests:

The Priesthood line is:

Catholic - Monk - Priest - Priest - Bishop - (Cardinal) - Archbishop......

The Paladin line is:

Apprentice Knight - Knight - Grand Knight - Paladin - Holy Knight - Holy/Glory Knight

The Violet Alliance Noble Phantasm Knight line is:

Apprentice Knight - Knight - Grand Knight - Bronze Phantasm Knight - Silver Phantasm Knight - Gold Phantasm Knight - Legendary/Epic Phantasm Knight

Knights are relatively easy to get started, and there is no need for many resources for cultivation in the early stage, but almost all of them have to rely on the path of external objects to improve in the later stage. The sorcerer who lectured focused on comparing the Druid line and the clerical line, and according to the hierarchy at the time of the Great Destruction, the apprentice sacrifice shaman and the religious monk priest priest corresponded one-to-one.

However, judging from the difficulty of cultivation and the specific number of people, it does not correspond in this way:

The monks correspond to the sacrifices, and the druids are slightly stronger in the strength of the two, and the number of monks is larger;

The priest corresponds to the shaman, and the druids are slightly stronger in strength, and the number of priests is larger;

The great shaman corresponds to the priest, and the druids are slightly stronger in the two, and the number of priests is larger;

The wizard corresponds to the bishop, and the strength of the two is equal, depending on the individual differences, the number of the two is about the same;

The high wizard corresponds to the cardinal, and the strength and number of the two are about the same, depending on the individual differences;

In terms of the comparison between the archwizard and the archbishopric level, the archwizard is stronger, but the Holy See forces in the north have two Holy Alliance and the Holy Tree Dynasty, and these two countries also have the Holy Patriarch and the Holy Tree Pope. However, there has been a tacit understanding between the two sides for the past thousand years, and in the war, the archwizard and the archbishop-level powerhouse will not make a move easily, and if one side makes a move, the other side will definitely retaliate until it is a tooth for a tooth.

Therefore, the actual war does not need to consider the problems of these top powers.

The wizard who gave the lecture also mentioned the problem of killing the light tower in the secret realm of killing light, and the killing light tower currently has nine layers, and the trialists who enter the secret realm have to face a team composed of paladins and clergy to kill on each floor, and the opponent is stronger than the other, and dying in the secret realm will consume a lot of their own mental power, and may even cause mental trauma, so they should be extremely cautious when entering the secret realm.

……

The two-day "Introduction to the Papal Hierarchy" class finally ended, and in these two days, Lin Xu had a clear understanding of the hierarchy of the power of the Holy See in the north, and his heart was also a little heavy. At present, neither the Apprus Basin nor the Violet Alliance has formed a centralized regime that can effectively govern the forces, and in the face of the religiously brainwashed and centralized and unified Paladins and clerical armies, are the druids and the Phantasm Knights really capable of facing it?

Lin Xu was only in a hurry. The days will continue to move forward, and Lin Xu will soon return to his daily state.

Due to the compression of the December course, the credit test can be taken in mid-December. After spending a week in the last few days of the end of each year in his previous life, Lin went to Provost Lucian's office and completed the exam for the three courses of "Principles of Nature".

The tense exam ended in one day, and Lin Xu looked further ahead to face a three-week Christmas holiday.

After mid-December, the Hoglard Castle Complex allows students from the main castle to enter the 'fairytale castle' for activities, as in previous years.

The 'Fairytale Castle' is located somewhere on the northeast side of the main castle of Hoglald, next to the castle 'Castle of Twilight', where Sennan lives, and the most famous of them is the candy market on the fifth to seventh floors of the castle. The Candy Market is a huge secret place made of candy and filled with all kinds of candy desserts and snacks. The folk legend of the 'Candy Witch' used to scare children comes from this story, and most of the houses in the castle are made of various candy bricks, which can be cut and eaten directly, which can be said to be a fairy tale kingdom in children's dreams.

After the opening of the fairy tale castle, it attracted many couples and classmates in the castle to come to play, and Lin Xu also let the gypsy siblings accompany him, and Isabella, Ethelina, Palanphoni, Wren, Ian, etc., played in the fairy tale castle for two days.

But without his beloved woman to accompany him, Lin Xu also regretted it from the bottom of his heart, but Lin Xu was already preparing for the main priest, and he did not have to limit the restrictions of Hoglald's students in the future, and he could take Sen Nan to the 'Fairy Tale Castle' again.

After the middle of the year, the airship harbor of the Hoglard castle complex also changed, and the airship harbor began to provide giant airships to and from Eiffel City, the capital of the Violet League of Louisiana, the state capital of the Death Prairie on the east side of the Apprus Basin, and the giant airships carrying the road were particularly fast in the airship group, and it only took more than two days to get from Hoglard to Eiffel City, and many druids who needed to go home for Christmas could go to the states of the Union by passing through Eiffel City.

Louisiana, west of the Violet Alliance, is located on the main transportation artery, bordering the Death Prairie and the Apprus Basin to the west, and the prosperous territory of the Union to the east. The entire state has a population of nearly 4 million people, of which the city of Eiffel alone has a population of more than 700,000, which can be described as an extremely prosperous big city.

Lin Xu stayed alone in the main castle of Hoglard for a few more days, without classes, and especially wanted to go out for a walk again. Thinking that he really needed to place the Demon King's tombstone everywhere, so that he could use the Hidden Sea Dock in his Demon King's tombstone to quickly travel to and from the destination city in the future, Lin Xu decided to take Esmeralda to Eiffel City and buy a place to live.

……

Three days later, Lin Xu and Esmeralda flew in an airship over the original Black Camp, Grey Town, and Death Meadows to Eiffel City. After inspecting for a long time, Lin Xu looked at his money bag and found that he only had more than 10,000 gold coins on his body, which was not enough for future expenses. Lin Xu tossed and turned all night, but decided to buy a small warehouse by the Eiffel moat and put down the tombstone of the demon king as a teleportation base in the future.

In the evening, the forest attribute column in Eiffel City changed again:
