Chapter 162: The Church Bell Rings (Part II)
Priest Dom felt that he had been terrible lately...... No, since he became a priest in this broken church, his career has been dark.
Ebolden was replaced by a pious and powerful new bishop, and the Bellini family suddenly became devout believers, relying on wealth and the Holy Cross Elixir, the status and prestige of Ebolden rose overnight, and the nobles and rich people, who had disdainful of the clergy, suddenly went to the church to pray more often...... Although most of it is because of the Holy Blood Elixir.
Even the wizards who had been arrogant in the past suddenly retreated back into their dilapidated castle one by one like scared rats—after the two decrees were passed, the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower closed its gates, and strictly ordered any subordinate wizards and apprentices who were still practicing not to leave the castle.
The retreat of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower has cheered the entire Ebolden Church, and the clergy, who had feared the intervention of wizards, are now disdainful of this seemingly powerful wizarding organization, and are completely a paper tiger that can be pierced at the slightest poke, and at the same time become more and more loyal to the new Bishop of Fanecist.
But none of this had anything to do with Priest Dom, who was and still is in this leaky and dilapidated church, responsible for worshipping the homeless and beggars around him, and his only "important" job is to register the wizards who visit Eboden and earn two hard-earned money.
"Excuse me, are you the priest of this church?"
"No, it's just a chapel, and there are no priests......," the impatient priest Dom waved his hand listlessly, but when he saw the comer, he was stunned.
The empty church suddenly had four more figures, and there were two young ladies—dressed like knights and mercenaries, but Dom swore to the Holy Cross that he had never seen such a pretty girl in his life.
The two young ladies did not walk in, but stood guard outside the door like guards, and what they had just asked was a young master who was dressed like a gentleman, who was definitely not rich or noble, and a skinny wizard with a magic wand beside him.
That's right, compared to the size of this wizard, that wand can only be described as "carrying".
Wandering around, the idle aristocratic young master, the accompanying wizard follower, the aristocratic lady who followed the fugitive and the mercenary lover - in the moment of eye contact, Priest Dom did not see an "adventurous combination among knights......
It's a big fat sheep that shines with gold coins!
"The Holy Cross blesses us. In an instant, the decadent clergyman became the spokesman of the Holy Cross: "O pious child, what can I serve?"
"Oh, nothing, nothing!" The aristocratic boy smiled like the sun at two o'clock in the afternoon, and one turned to stand behind the wizard: "This wizard friend of mine wants to register with you, can you do me a favor?"
I'm stupid, I'm ...... What else could these rich people come to me for?" Careful liver dripping blood, the priest barely squeezed out an elder's smile, "Yes, then Mr. Wizard, please tell me your name, and I will register it for you." ”
"Ain, Ain Rand, from Wimpal College in Lothair. The little wizard spoke.
"Okay, Ain Rand, wizard from Lothair......" Priest Dom smiled as he picked up the quill and was about to register, then froze in mid-air, the smile on his face stiffening.
"Is there a problem?" asked the little wizard, who saw that something was wrong, tentatively.
"Uh...... Actually, it's nothing. Not long ago, there was already an Ain Rand wizard from the Wimpal Academy in Lothair. Priest Dom hastened to explain: "Maybe you still know each other!"
Ain Rand from Lothair...... Ain's expression suddenly stiffened, and she suddenly remembered a certain incident that had happened in Shenlin Fort before: "Excuse me...... What does that 'Ain Rand' wizard look like?"
"It's a dark-haired spellcaster with dark eyes. Priest Dom struggled to recall: "Although he was a wizard, he was dressed like a wandering knight and carried a sword on his back. ”
Brunette with black eyes...... It's Loren!
A hint of surprise suddenly appeared on the little wizard's face. But Priest Dom quickly continued: "He came with a young lady from the Corona family, oh...... It seems to be called Ariel Corona. ”
Ariel Corona, the eldest lady of the Corona family...... The smile on the little wizard's face faded away, his eyes fierce and his face covered with frost!
"Do you know where the Corona family mansion is?"
"Uh...... Easy to find. Looking at the wizard who didn't know why he suddenly straightened his face, Priest Dom replied as he registered, "You only need to go to the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower in the west of the city first, and you can ...... Alas, your badge!"
Priest Dom, holding the bronze badge, froze in place, watching the little wizard who suddenly turned around and strode out of the church. Also leaving was the mercenary with the spear.
Loren Turin, stupid bastard! fool! idiot! I was so stupid to try to save him!
"Leave it to me first. ”
Brandon Sully, a noble boy who had been standing by without speaking, suddenly spoke, and took the bronze nine-pointed star badge from Priest Dom's hand: "I'm so sorry to trouble you, please forgive me. ”
"The Holy Cross blesses us, I just do my duty as a priest!"
As soon as Priest Dom, who had said a few polite words, looked up, there was no one in the church. When he lowered his head, his eyes were in a straight line.
A whole bag of gold coins, shiny gold, was placed on the table with such an open mouth!
"I hope that the little money will make the priest happy for a while, and forget about today's events. ”
Brandon, who shrugged his shoulders, shrugged his shoulders and walked outside the church door, with a wicked smile on his face: "Of course...... It was before he found out that they were all gold-painted copper plates, so we had to run away, time was waiting for no one!"
The little wizard, who had been accustomed to his virtue all the way, didn't say much, just bowed slightly: "Thank you very much for your help along the way, now we have to say goodbye to the two of you." ”
"Are you leaving so soon?" the aristocratic boy's face showed a little regret, "But we have just arrived at Eboden!"
"I'm sorry, but we have to leave now. The angry Ain barely suppressed the anger rising in her heart, and now she just wanted to tear some dark-haired bastard alive: "If you have a chance, ...... next time"
"Before you leave, allow me to say a few more words of nonsense. ”
With a smile on his face, Brandon suddenly interrupted the little wizard, "I don't know what your purpose is in Ebolden, but listen to me—the city is not as safe as it used to be, especially for wizards."
So if you can, get out of here as soon as you find your friends – it's not a long journey, but for the sake of our mutual friend Rubén Fried, I sincerely hope that you are well and that nothing unfortunate happens. ”
Although the other party still said these words with a smile, Ai Yin still felt the meaning of his words, and nodded solemnly: "Thank you for your warning, I will definitely pay attention."
It is also a reminder that this is a dangerous place, not just for wizards, but for everyone who comes to Ebolden!"
"We'll definitely pay attention. ”
A subtle look of astonishment flashed across his face, and Brandon still had that bright smile on his face, watching Al Yin and Leah leave.
"Those two people are already far away. The "knight girl" named Fitlonai said indifferently: "Aren't you going to catch up?"
"No, I already know where they're going. Shrugging his shoulders, the aristocratic boy's smile remained unchanged: "But I really didn't expect that the two people that Uncle Ruth Infinit said were actually them...... And our Lord Loren Turin hooked up with the Corona family so quickly.
How to describe it...... He's really good at surprising people!"
