Chapter 43: The Temple

After this exchange, Zhao Xu probably knew Lei An's frivolous speech style.

"Also, you don't think you were able to hit Antinoa just now, do you?" Ryan said.

Zhao Xu shook his head, he still knew it himself.

And listening to Ryan's tone, the stupid also knew that something was wrong.

Antinoa is also supposed to be able to cast the spell "Rainbow Orb", which can also resist his attack.

"It's okay, you're not like me. Back then, I thought I had really hit my mentor and made me happy for a long time. Ryan suddenly fell into a certain mood of nostalgia.

Zhao Xu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, how does this sound a bit like a bell-grabbing stalk from an anime?

"Actually, you can't cast any spell in front of Antinoya. Because we mages, we can perform 'counterspells', and we are completely able to maintain a high degree of suppressive power against rookies like you. However, this is an aside, and I will talk about it after you have been trained in the 'Spell Recognition' skill at that time. ”

Next, Ryan also teleported directly to Mystra below.

This is also Zhao Xu's second time to set foot on the real land of Arthur half a month later.

He breathed the surface air and felt something different.

The Temple of the Goddess of Magic and the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, the headquarters of the Church, are all adjacent to each other.

The temple was expanded to resemble the residence of the goddess before she became a god.

The Basilica of the Sacred Heart is built next to each other, and the daily affairs of the church are carried out in the inner church, and the outer church is used for the believers to pray to the gods.

The headquarters of the Mage Guild, many research institutes and organizations are arranged in the Floating City.

As a result, the entire temple and church occupy a very large area in the city.

Even the city of Mystra began to expand around it, radiating out in a star-like shape.

As the most central place for believers, the outer area of the Sacred Heart Church has always been crowded with people.

Zhao Xu had already experienced this when he came here on the first day.

This time he returned here, only to find that the crowd was so dense that he couldn't squeeze in.

It stands to reason that the church is usually more bustling when it is close to the inside, but I didn't expect that at this moment, it was already like this around the outermost periphery.

"Today is the goddess's birthday, yes." Ryan explained.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he also nodded.

In the previous life, their family was in the bitter cold land in the north, and most of the residents believed in the gods of righteousness and war.

On God's Birthday, local churches send blessings to the faithful.

Among them, the most sought-after and popular are those holy water that can only be bought by paying 25GP on weekdays.

The holy water that was given away for free on God's birthday is not an exaggeration.

It's just that in the fertile land of the South, the inhabitants of Mystra are like the inhabitants of the capitals of the Earth.

Not to mention superior, at least the standard of living is among the top in all Arthur's towns.

Even if you look closely at the crowd in front of you, many of them are wearing decent clothes, and they don't look like poor people.

At the farther intersections, horse-drawn carriages were restricted from entering.

"It is possible for the goddess to come to the Lord Arthur's plane by willpower on God's birthday." "So, today is very likely to be given the grace of the goddess and officially become a priest. ”

When Zhao Xu heard this, he couldn't help but be moved.

Although he felt that his chances of becoming a Level 1 priest were nine out of nine, he could make up for the last one percent of the missing, so don't be in vain.

Arthur's priest is basically two routes.

The first is to cultivate as a priest embryo since childhood, study the teachings of the gods step by step in the local church, and carry out some basic professional exercises.

Then, wait.

Until the gods feel the piety, they go straight to the point and go from apprenticeship to real level 1 priest.

If the route of a mage's apprenticeship is first difficult and then easy, then the trainee priest route is easy first and then difficult.

The mage apprentice awakening ceremony that Zhao Xu participated in that day, in fact, most of the people present would succeed.

But for probationary pastors, there is still a large queue of seniors, waiting for the gods to see their piety.

Because the number of priests of the gods is also limited, otherwise it is very possible to have a priest and directly achieve the number one force in the mainland.

Another route for a pastor is to win the favor of the gods and choose a pastor directly.

When such people come to church, they have basically crossed the water and received some training.

Therefore, Zhao Xu is fully confident that he will complete the pastoral training within a week.

Speaking of which, Zhao Xu was also emotional.

In his previous life, his wife was also an earthling.

After the crossing, she was appreciated by the local Lady Luck Bishop Bella and accepted as a trainee priest.

However, her wife was unable to become a full-fledged pastor for two years.

At that time, the earth traveled through the crowd, and the player group that had transformed into an upper-class force was slowly coming to the stage of marriage.

And Zhao Xu served as a sheriff in the town for two years, and his performance was not good, and he had a good reputation, and he knew the roots.

In the case of a hopeless breakthrough, his wife also came together with Zhao Xu to get married and have children under the guidance of his parents.

Put it on the earth in this life, if you don't cross it.

The other party, Bai Fumei, who was born in a famous aristocratic family, was not at all close to his original class.

Even now he doesn't even have a channel to notify the other party.

But one day, he will have Arthur's poets sing his reputation.

"Brother Ryan, why don't we just teleport in?" Zhao Xu, who came back to his senses, looked at Lei An who was still queuing up with peace of mind, and couldn't help asking.

"When the president comes, he enters through the main entrance." Ryan didn't have a good airway. "You can fly in directly if you are a priest in the future, but I can't."

"Brother Ryan, you're not a priest?"

"Nonsense, anyone in the association can be a part-time pastor, but not me, the liaison officer. Otherwise, I'm the liaison officer of the association, or the liaison officer of the Goddess Church. ”

When Zhao Xu heard this, he immediately knew that he wanted less.

In his previous life, although he was among the upper echelons of the town, he had not yet been able to reach the point where any lord could crush him to death.

"But the liaison officer doesn't have to wait in line." Zhao Xu didn't have a good airway.

To put it mildly, Ryan is an ambassador on the earth.

Not to mention privileges, but also basic etiquette.

"I informed you when I came, who knows what went wrong with the church today, and it took so long. Usually I take you to swagger in the queue or a random spell to drive the crowd in, how dare I dare on God's birthday today. ”

Suddenly, I saw a middle-aged pastor in a white robe walk out.

When the believers around saw the pastor come out, they all consciously spread a way.

The outer door of the church, which was originally crowded like dumplings in the scenic spot, suddenly gave way to a three-person wide path.

"Mr. Ryan, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." The pastor bowed his head slightly in apology.

"It's okay, hurry inside, it's this kid who is going to be a priest." Lei An didn't care, and walked forward while pulling Zhao Xu's robe.

Zhao Xu was wearing a cloak at the moment, and his shape was the same as Antinoya's, and his entire head was shrouded in shadows, cutting off the sight of the curious crowd around him.

The priest glanced at Zhao Xu more, nodded and said, "Then please follow me in." ”

The middle-aged pastor said, Zhao Xu and the others were also busy keeping up, who knows if they will be dumplings again if they take two steps slowly.

The exterior walls of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart are all reliefs showing the miracles of the goddess.

The place of the gate threshold is not a square stone threshold, but a half-arched stone pillar side, as if half-buried in the ground.

After the first two walked over, Zhao Xu also stepped over.

Suddenly, he felt his brain tingle.

At this time, the melodious sound of bells was also heard in the shrine behind the church.

Wave after wave.

"Praise the Goddess." The middle-aged pastor hurriedly lowered his head and prayed silently.

Countless people around them also bowed their heads in prayer, and some even knelt down on the spot.

"The goddess has descended." Ryan whispered.

Zhao Xu was a little dazed, in his mind.

Seems to have more magic slots?
