Chapter 125: Awakening and Enlightenment Ceremony (Fifth Update)

Prices in Rog City are pyramid-shaped, and the closer you get to Dawn Square, the more expensive it becomes, because a radius of several kilometers around this area is the activity area of the Awakened, and all the prices, including houses, are very expensive. For example, the street where they are now is located, these shops are attracting gold at a very high rate every day.

Prices fall sharply in places farther away from the center, and where ordinary people live, prices are not very expensive. In the middle of nowhere, like some slums in the west of the city, prices and living standards are quite low.

To put it simply, in the large commercial area of the city center, Memphira does not have enough money to buy a large house with a courtyard, but in the ordinary area far from the city center, he can buy a relatively large house.

Monfila has no plans to buy a house in the center of the city, and may soon be venturing out. He just wanted to have a place to stay.

After inquiring about the high but acceptable cost of hiring a carriage, he chose a medium-sized courtyard on the north side of the city, based on what Adric had seen today.

It's already some distance from the center of the city, and it doesn't belong to the bustling area, but it doesn't go far to the north gate, and it doesn't belong to the edge.

The price is 1,000 gold coins, which is also in their budget, and Meng Feila decided to take a look tomorrow, if it is appropriate, he can be regarded as a person with real estate in this other world.

The next day, Meng Feila and the others got up early in the morning, and he was a little excited, he was about to become a propertied class! If you want to buy a house in the imperial capital before you cross, you will have to struggle for more than ten years!

The group went straight to the north of the city, and when they passed by Dawn Square, Memphira found that there were already many people moving here, especially near the headquarters of the Awoken Alliance, where the adventurers were already looking for partners or exchanging items, a lively scene.

Monfila wanted to get the urgent business done in the city and embark on an adventurous journey as soon as possible.

The northernmost part of the square is the cathedral, and at the moment the gate is open, and a group of people gather in front of the door, forming several neat columns, as if waiting for something. Meng Feila asked curiously, "What are they doing here?" ”

Everyone looked at him strangely, and Adric said, "Have you forgotten the day, today is the fifteenth day of this month, the day of enlightenment of the awakened of the Blind Eye Order!" ”

Monfila didn't know what the Awakened Enlightenment Day was, but he couldn't show it either.

At this time, Kaori continued: "The enlightenment ceremony of the awakened in this cathedral has no effect at all! My grandfather brought me here three times, and each time I listened to them recite the scriptures all morning, and I was dizzy and dizzy, and it didn't do anything!

In the past, I thought that my qualifications were not good, and my confidence was going to be gone. It's better to follow Brother Fei, and wake up so soon. I think the people in the church are liars! ”

Yolande hurriedly interrupted Kaori's words: "Don't talk nonsense, I only woke up by participating in the enlightenment ceremony." This ritual is effective, but the odds are a bit low! ”

Yolande saw that Monfila was a little unclear, so he explained to Kaori and told him these basic information about the enlightenment of the awakened:

At present, there are three known ways for humans to awaken, the first is natural awakening, but this seems to only exist among those legendary people who changed jobs a hundred or two hundred years ago, such as legendary heroes such as Tarasha and Burkeso, or the founders of some big families.

People don't know how they woke up, as if they were born with the ability to change jobs. But in more than 100 years, it has not appeared again.

The second is the Dawn Academy, which was established by several major families, and they can awaken ordinary people with qualifications through some kind of secret ritual, which is about 30% probable. However, each Arcane charges 200 gold coins and a specific Shattered Gem. There is no limit to this awakening ritual, as long as you pay the money, you can try it as many times as you want.

The third is what you see in front of you, the awakening and enlightenment ceremony in several special churches, which is open once a month, and you can participate in it as long as you pay ten gold coins, and you will have the opportunity to awaken after listening to the baptism of the ritual in the morning.

However, this method has many limitations, first of all, its probability is only about 5%. What's more, everyone can only participate three times in their lifetime. According to the clergy of the cathedral, if it is more than three times, it is no longer qualified to feel the will of the gods, and it can even cause damage to the body.

Ten gold coins is not a small amount for ordinary people, and it is difficult to get together if you don't have any skills. And some small families will take advantage of this to improve the strength of the family.

They provide some civilians who feel that they are qualified to pay for the three awakening ceremonies, if they can awaken, then of course everyone is happy, and the awakened can serve these families for a certain number of years, or pay dozens of times the compensation, a million profits; If the person being helped can't wake up three times, then maybe the person will have to sell himself to the small family for the rest of his life to pay it back.

Every six months, the cathedral will have a free awakening ceremony, and a random number of people will participate in the free awakening in the Dawning Square. However, each person is only allowed one chance to be selected for free awakening, and it will also be strictly screened and counted among the total of three times.

This may be a means of propaganda for the church, one is to increase the influence of the church through good deeds, and the other is to give the common people a glimmer of hope. If some of these people awaken, more people would be willing to pay for those ten gold coins.

As for the last one, it is rumored that ordinary people can awaken when they fight monsters and experience the test of life and death, but because the probability is too low and they will die for a lifetime, generally only desperate people will try, and it is basically not recognized as a channel for normal awakening.

Yolande and Adric were also sponsored by the small family to participate in the ritual and then awakened, but they chose to leave after contributing to the family and became free adventurers.

In the first two years, Yolande asked Kaori to participate in three ceremonies, but all failed, and later tried to save money to participate in the awakening ceremony of the Dawn Academy, but never saved enough gems to need.

Only then did Meng Feira understand that he had thought that in addition to the academy, he could only awaken by wild adventures. But judging from the situation when I crossed over, this kind of soil method is really easy to die! That would not explain the number of Awakened he saw, and there were quite a few free adventurers in the square in front of him.

In this way, Sandru and Jack in the slum should have awakened through this ritual, and they should have even seized that free opportunity, which seems to be quite lucky.
