Early the next morning, Gordon washed up and went out again in good spirits.
"Blessed by the goddess Waukin, I hope that today I will get what I want." Gordon looked at the white belly of the fish in the sky, and prayed in his heart to Wokin, the goddess of wealth.
On Earth, Gordon, who attended a world-class university, signed a labor contract with a lunar energy company before graduating. The hardships of job hunting experienced by ordinary college students, Gordon finally experienced it once in the other world. But this experience was enough for once, and he didn't want to get nothing today.
Crossing the Bishui River again, Gordon did not go to the business district again. He was going to look for an opportunity in a residential area.
At this time, a golden line appeared in the sky, and a round of autumn sun rose under the background of the glow.
The black tiles on the roof were gilded with a layer of golden light, and there were suddenly more pedestrians on the road of Gordon, and there seemed to be a special aroma in the fresh morning air.
As more and more people flowed to a tall and majestic white temple, almost all the pedestrians gathered in the wide square in front of the temple, waiting for something reverently.
Driven by curiosity, Gordon stopped.
In the open space in front of the temple, there is a white marble sculpture. This is a beautiful woman with a thin veil and a slender figure and a holy expression. She held a rising sun in her left hand and a sinking moon in her right hand.
"It turned out to be the temple of Lady Dawn Melicia." Gordon muttered to himself.
Melicia, the goddess of life, dawn, spring, and light, is commonly known as the Lady of Dawn. Her church is spread all over the Great 6, and she has many believers, and she is a powerful good god. Even among the dark elves underground, there are also their followers.
Early in the morning, it is the prayer time for the followers of Lady Dawn, and her holy warriors and priests will also prepare for the magic of the day.
Several priests with solemn looks and rich clothes came out of the temple.
Under the auspices of the priests, the faithful kneel in front of the statue of the goddess and pray sincerely.
The holy emblem in the priest's hand burst out with a white halo, enveloping all the believers, as if it had the power to cleanse people's hearts. Even if you are far away, you can feel the divine power of the aura.
This prayer ceremony opened Gordon's eyes. He more intuitively understood that this was a world where gods and gods were real and religious life was everywhere.
After the prayer service, Gordon was about to leave, when suddenly a priest appeared on the bulletin board in front of the temple, pasting a piece of paper.
When I got closer, it turned out to be a job posting.
Work: From midnight to 7 a.m., guarding the cemetery on the northern outskirts of the city.
Requirements: Master the one-ring spell "Protection against Negative Energy".
Reward: 2o gold for January.
The priest who posted the job posting saw a young black man in a mage's robe stop in front of him, looking quite interested, and immediately walked over.
"Young mage, are you interested in this job?"
"The pay is good, and I'm really interested." "Can you tell me a little bit more about the work?" ”
"Of course, please follow me." The priest made a gesture of please in the direction of the temple.
The fifth-level middle-aged pastor's name is Jack, and he is in charge of the church's funeral. On a hill on the outskirts of the northern part of the city, an old cemetery has been built. This cemetery has been preserved since the Second Age. There are many ancient tombs with a long history, even so old that it is difficult to trace. In order to prevent people from robbing the tomb or generating undead spirits due to the accumulation of negative energy, the lord entrusted the cemetery to the church of Meritya.
Although the priests of Lady Dawn are on a mission to sow light and destroy evil, no one likes to spend all year round in the cemetery dealing with the dead. So the temple came up with a way to outsource the care of the cemetery to someone else.
Yesterday, the former tomb mage suddenly quit his job and followed the adventure team into the Cold Mist Mountains, and it was Gordon's turn to take the job.
Although the working environment is not very pleasant, the pay is very good, with 2o gold coins a month, and most low-level mages can't earn such money.
"There is a shrine in the cemetery, which is the center of operation of a large circle. Every three hours, you'll have to cast a negative energy protection spell on the shrine to keep the circle running. That's the specific requirements, is there anything else you don't understand? ”
"Nope."
"Good." Pastor Jack pulls out a deed. The emblem of the Temple of Dawn was already stamped on it, just waiting for Gordon to sign it.
Gordon wrote his name. The text on the entire contract suddenly radiated a faint golden light, and then, a breastplate-shaped pattern depicting blue gears appeared in the upper right corner of the contract.
This is the hallmark of Eracis. She is the builder of the city, the maker of the law, the guardian of order and contract. She is adored by the enforcers and rulers of the city, and when the contract is signed, she is guaranteed that the violator will be punished.
Pastor Jack put away the contract with satisfaction, and his face was relieved, as if a matter of heart had been settled.
In order to adjust Gordon's schedule, the official work starts tomorrow.
Gordon returned home satisfied. Finally got a job, and he only had to wait a month to get a salary of 2o gold coins before he could start his money-making plan.
For the rest of the day, Gordon decided to spend the rest of the day in that little study.
The Drawing and Application of the Sixteen Basic Magical Runes.
"The Principles of the Circle".
Introduction to Meditation.
"Three Thousand Rules for Mage Apprentices Must Learn".
……
Gordon picked up the magic books, only to be told that they had all been read. He can't get any experience points from it.
Thankfully, when Gordon picked up a black book with a dusty cover from the corner of the shelf, the system gave him the answer he wanted.
"The Principle and Energy of the Magic Web".
"Books Intellectual Needs: 14. The intelligence test is passed guò and can be read. Current reading progress o%. Final Reading Gain: Arcane Knowledge +4, XP +4oo. ”
A system chime rings in your ears.
"No wonder I haven't read this book, it turns out that the previous Gordon didn't have enough intellectual attributes to understand the content." Gordon grabbed the new cover of the book, sank himself into the soft sand, and began to read.
The content of "The Principle and Energy of the Magic Net" is better than the last time I read "襤uàn annoying S Mei ㄊ醯 Brain Moraine Gizzard τ 谩 Fang Xiao Xiao Xi Xi Qi Ji
Although he was recovering from a major injury, Gordon's spirit was surprisingly abundant. He held the book in his hand and stayed in the study for more than ten hours, except for eating twice and going to the toilet several times, he did not move the nest.
At five o'clock in the morning the next day, Gordon was relieved of the long and complex magical theories in his book. He checked his mana, and now it was because he used the light of the light spell to illuminate, and he had consumed half of his mana reserves.
Moving his body, which was sore from sitting for a long time, Gordon felt tiredness hit him. He went back to the bedroom, went to bed, and went to sleep.
He didn't wake up until nine o'clock in the evening.
Stepping on the hazy moonlight, Gordon walked down the city boulevard at night.
Autumn nights are already a little cold. The occasional gust of wind that slipped through the neckline and into his body would give Gordon goosebumps all over his body.
"Be sure to add a piece of clothing when you come out tomorrow night!" Gordon thought. He felt that after he had plenty of money, he must have a constant "endure elemental damage" on his mage robes. In this extreme environment, from minus 45 degrees to minus 60 degrees, he will not feel uncomfortable.
With the help of the Temple of Dawn's special night pass, Gordon was not questioned by the night patrol or troubled by the soldiers guarding the city gates. He followed the city to the cemetery, which was located on the outskirts of the city, half an hour away from the city of clear water.
The cemetery covers an extremely large area, with hundreds of acres of land, and it takes more than an hour to walk around. But Gordon's job is not a grave keeper in the traditional sense, so he doesn't need to patrol around. All he needed to do was stay in the small room next to the shrine and bless the shrine's circle every three hours to keep it running.
"This is the key to the rest hut." Pastor Jack, who was waiting for the handover, handed a bronze key to Gordon, "The cupboard is stocked with jerky, cheese, and bread, and you can use it to satisfy your hunger at night when you are hungry." There are also spirits brewed by the Orlandos barbarians, which will banish the cold of the night for you. ”
Gordon nodded, thinking that in addition to the work environment, this errand is quite good, not only with high salaries, but also with good benefits.
"So, Mr. Mage, have a nice evening." After explaining the chores, Pastor Jack politely said goodbye and drifted away.
There is a huge cemetery, and only one living person is left in Gordon.
Looking at the hourglass, it's twelve o'clock. He went to the Shrine and pulled out a small piece of Sunstone from his pocket, which was necessary to cast protection against negative energy. This small stone was worth 5 silver coins, enough for him to eat with an open belly in a good restaurant.
It's not so much about casting spells as it is about burning money.
It's a pity that you can't learn the specialty of "casting spells without materials" until level 11, that is, when you master the six-ring spell, so now Gordon has to bear the huge expense of casting materials.
Fortunately, the spells that maintain the magic circle and the casting materials can be reimbursed by the Temple of Dawn.
“1uosa-so!” Gordon chanted the incantation, and the white light that protected the negative energy spell suddenly shot into the heart of the circle, a statuette of Lady Dawn.
"If it's the kind of magic circle that can automatically extract energy from the magic net, there is no need to be so troublesome." Gordon thought.
Having fulfilled his duty, Gordon returned to the hut. It's a long night, so it's natural to find something to do. He took out the "Principles and Energy of the Magic Web" that he had brought from home and continued reading.
As time passed, the system in my mind showed that the reading progress bar was growing, and in the process, the experience points flowed into the experience pool like water droplets, little by little.
"Smack!"
The sixth flash of light failed, and the hut was plunged into darkness.
At Gordon's current level, one Light Technique would only last for half an hour. He needs to keep adding. Fortunately, the casting materials of the Light Spell were very cheap, otherwise he would not have dared to waste it so much.
The seventh light technique rises from Gordon's palm. He glanced at the hourglass, and it was almost three o'clock in the morning.
"It's time to recharge the circle." Gordon stood up and pushed the door open.
A fluttering green flame appeared in the dark night where you couldn't see your fingers.
"Undead?!"
