Chapter 1: The Twists and Turns of the New Pastor
"Perseverance, kindness, fearlessness, all shine on me, infiltrate my heart, and engrave my soul. —Inscription on the Priest's Tower
"Huh, the Priest Tower was destroyed by a meteorite two months ago?" Luo Lan never expected to get such news.
As Sam walked, he desperately stuffed food into his mouth, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch something from his hands, his bulging cheeks were still squirming one moment, and the next moment he had already stuffed another piece of food into it, Luo Lan looked at him worriedly, afraid that he would accidentally choke himself to death.
It's strange that even so, Sam was able to say his words clearly,
"Yes, master, because it takes a lot of necessary materials to rebuild the priest's tower, the white stone from the Kili Mountains, the black gold that can only be found in the endless seabed, and most importantly, the three rough stones that represent the spirit of the priest...... A lot of things, so, like, maybe...... So it was extended indefinitely. ”
Luo Lan was stunned, wouldn't his identity as a pastor be confirmed?
"Master don't worry, if you want to get the staff and robes, you only need to go to the believer's gathering area not far from here," Sam patted his chest and said, "With me here, I will definitely be able to get it smoothly." ”
Luo Lan couldn't help but ponder the information behind these words.
When they came to the gathering area of believers, on both sides of the neat stone avenue were white stone carvings, exuding a fresh fragrance, on both sides of the refreshing fragrant sand trees, an old man with a peaceful appearance was sweeping the road, in front of a tall dome building, just in front of the spacious porch of the building, there was a neat and orderly procession, he couldn't help but nod secretly, it seems that this is the place suitable for believers to practice.
"******, roll aside without knowing the rules!" An extremely discordant voice immediately and ruthlessly smashed all the beautiful fantasies in Luo Lan's heart.
A young man with an honest face was pushed out of the front of the line, and he touched his head, as if he didn't know why.
The other shrewd, thin man who seemed to be his companion immediately put the four gold coins on the table in front of him, and signaled that he was with the honest young man, and a middle-aged man half-lying in a chair with a full beard nodded with satisfaction, took out a seal and struck it on a parchment scroll at random, and handed it to them along with two priest's robes and two staffs, and then he struck the table with the small hammer in his hand, and said, "Next." ”
Luo Lan was able to open his eyes, and he asked for property in front of the public and was so arrogant, which made him have to admire, he noticed that just behind the bearded man, there was a row of **** upper body, staring at others with horizontal eyebrows and angry eyes.
Needless to say, Sam ran up and diligently went up to line up for Luo Lan.
In fact, the clothes and staffs of these priests were originally arranged by the people of the priest's tower, but after the priest's tower was destroyed, all the clergy went back to the city of Mosa, so they randomly handed over such a matter to a noble believer in the city, and this nobleman changed hands on this troublesome matter to one of his dilapidated distant cousins, who soon found that it was profitable, so he clearly marked the price of these things outside the church in the south of the city, and he saw that most of the people who needed to obtain the priesthood in this way had no background in the Holy See, and some are small nobles who were kicked out of the family or joined the Holy See after their decline, so they are very unscrupulous.
Soon it was Luo Lan's turn in the team, so he took out a gold coin and put it on the table.
The man glanced at him, waved his two fingers forward, and said, "Give it to him." ”
A crumpled priest's robe, as if it had been used to cushion something, black with a layer of ash sticking, a priest's staff that had been gouged out of the magic crystal, and the ash was still stained on the hand, its actual effect seemed to have no effect other than beating dogs.
Luo Lan was very suspicious that this was the rudder of the beggar gang or the gathering area of the light believers? His eyebrows immediately raised,
Sam seemed happy in comparison with his unpleasant mood, and he took his things in his arms, and was about to leave with his dear master, when his master's next word almost stumbled.
"And the Magic Shard emblem that symbolizes the priest's apprenticeship?"
"Magic Crystal Emblem?" The bearded man's eyes narrowed into a line, he kneaded his nose, his sharp voice raised again, and he waved the small hammer in his hand and said, "What kind of magic crystal emblem do people who have not even learned the magic magic of light take?" ”
Looking at the master who was standing motionless, Sam was about to faint, why didn't this master understand the world at all? These spar insignia can be sold for a large price, and it is one of the important sources of wealth for these people, and one of the ten priest apprentices may not be able to successfully promote to a priest, so it is really not much different whether he takes the emblem or not, and as for becoming a priest, the Holy See will naturally issue a new emblem to him. He went up and reminded in a kind whisper: "Master, it's just a façade thing, no one will rest assured, they are also responsible for arranging for you to teach you the priest and mentor of the divine arts, if you offend, it will be more than worth the loss." He also motioned to Luo Lan to look at the thugs behind him with cold expressions and tall figures, which meant that heroes don't suffer losses in front of them.
Luo Lan turned his head to look at him and said coldly, "Get out of the way." ”
This sentence suddenly turned Sam's painstaking heart into stinking water flowing into the gutter, and he took the staff aggrievedly, and crouched in the corner of the wall with the priest's robe to the side, and shed tears.
Luo Lan sneered and said to the other party: "I should have an apprentice badge, I hope you will give it to me now." ”
"Yo He?" The beard that was half lying on the chair jumped up suddenly, and his mouth full of fishy spittle Xingzi spit out: "What's wrong if I don't give it?"
"It's very simple," Luo Lan took out a dagger from his arms and stuck it on the table with a "grab" sound.
The beard didn't care at first, but then he saw that the dagger was completely submerged in the solid cold wooden table, he couldn't help but tremble, cold sweat suddenly flowed out, his throat moved, as if he suddenly thought of something, and a strange smile appeared on his face, "It's all for you, it's all for you." ”
A brand new silver-rimmed priest's robe, a white wooden staff, with blue magic crystals on it, and a magic crystal emblem symbolizing apprenticeship.
The bearded man respectfully handed a stamped parchment scroll to Luo Lan, and said politely: "Your mentor is Denise Deley, this is an excellent female mentor, you should take advantage of the opportunity." ”
Luo Lan took it easily, and there was too much ink on it, making the bright red seal look even more thrilling.
Sam had seen his master have an argument with the other party, and he was thinking about whether to slip away, and these thugs behind him were not joking. However, the next scene made his mouth open wider and wider, and his jaw almost dropped, and he immediately ran over, with a flattering smile on his face, and exclaimed, "Master, you are so great." ”
He casually asked, "They must have arranged a good mentor for you too, right?"
"Well, what's Dennis's. ”
"What??" Sam jumped up as if he had been bitten by a snake, his face full of horror, and he stammered, "Dan, Dan, Dennis Deliley??"
"Yes," Luo Lan looked at him strangely, "Is there anything wrong?"
"It's over! it's over!" Sam ducked aside again, and finally hugged the thick legs of such a rich master, but he didn't expect to die so soon.
Luo Lan frowned, still didn't ask anything, he glanced around, and then came to an old man sweeping the floor at the gate of the courtyard, and handed a silver coin to the other party.
The old man narrowed his eyes, took the silver coin into his bosom at a speed not befitting his age, and then looked around sneakily, and whispered, "What do you want to ask?"
"What's going on with that?" Luo Lan shook the parchment roll in his hand.
The old man's eyes widened suddenly, and then he looked at Luo Lan sympathetically, and said in a solemn tone: "Put on your armor." ”
He didn't say a word more, as if he was afraid that something would come out of the ground, and ran away in a panic. “
Luo Lan frowned, put on his armor and went to war?
