056 Eat Me a Spear
After exiting the Plane Store, the newly released quest has arrived. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Main Quest: World Explorer."
"The second phase of the mission begins."
"Career paths."
"Explanation: It's not enough to make money just by playing cards. You should get a permanent career in this world and have a decent identity in order to be able to further understand the world. ”
"Career Choice: Ecclesiastical Mage; Aristocrat; Demon Hunter. ”
Ecclesiastical Priest ......
After a little consideration, Loy gave up on this option.
In this magical Middle Ages, all regular spellcasters in Europe, male and female sorcerers, were nominally under the authority of the Church of Light. Because the nature of magic in this world is relatively chaotic and active, if you don't abuse magic without moderation and blindly pursue great power, the caster is easily corrupted by the darkness and degenerate.
Wizards and witches who throw themselves into darkness will have only one end if they are caught by the church: burning at the stake.
If Roy didn't have a legal certificate to show his identity as a wandering mage, he would never dare to disclose his identity as a mage.
If Roy wants to join the Church of Light, he will naturally be able to easily obtain the status of a church mage. And because in this backward Middle Ages, the church also shouldered the responsibility of passing on and preserving knowledge. Therefore, if Roy becomes a clergyman, he will be able to easily borrow books from various monasteries or church libraries to learn more about the world and improve his plane awareness.
After all, improving dimensional awareness is the primary goal of the multiverse intelligence complex Palloe's time-traveling mission.
It's just that there are too many rules and constraints in the Church of Light, and although it is not as exaggerated as the Crucifixion, which can only be used in the missionary position, it still makes people feel constrained.
As for the aristocracy, it is indeed a good choice.
Entering the ruling class means that Roy will be able to use more social resources to explore the world, and will also be able to access higher level secrets. But having the rights of the ruling class also means shouldering greater obligations and responsibilities.
The lesser nobles are to be loyal to the greater. The great nobles were to owe allegiance to the king. If there is a war one day, you have to respond to the call to go to the battlefield.
Coupled with the complex interpersonal relationships of the aristocratic class, and various intrigues and calculations that will never disappear.
If you become a nobleman, then a lot of energy will inevitably be spent on all kinds of unnecessary things. If Roy stays in this world for the rest of his life, then becoming a nobleman is a good choice. But alas, he is just a traveler destined to leave.
So, in the end, Roy decided to become a demon hunter.
Because of the influence of the intersection of the celestial spheres, all kinds of demons and monsters are rampant in this world. Therefore, the special profession of demon hunter was naturally born.
The Demon Hunter group is backed by the Church of Light and has an official background. While walking through the realms within the faith of the Church of Light in Europe, the Witchers can receive free food and lodging from the local monastery. Demon hunters have the right to request gratuitous assistance from local nobles when performing demon hunting missions, and also enjoy a certain degree of legal immunity, and have the same social status as the knight class.
In this world, the identity of the demon hunter is very respected, unlike in a different world, Mr. Geralt the white wolf, the demon hunter who worked hard to save people, turned his head and was spit on the villagers he had just helped, and it was sad to think about it.
With so many conveniences, the threshold for finding a job as a demon hunter is also extremely high.
The social status is relatively high, and there are not too many constraints, and they can walk freely in various places, and the reward for hunting monsters is not low. Roy felt that demon hunters were his ideal career.
"You've chosen 'Demon Hunter' as your class. Please have 300 Grosso Silver Coins ready for the entry fee and pass the induction test. ”
Becoming a respected demon hunter is naturally not an easy task. In addition to the huge entry fee that ordinary people can't afford at all, they also have to go to the Church of Light to pass the test.
This type of demon hunter test is only available in the Archdiocese district. Bordeaux is just a bishopric. So in order to complete this task, Loy had to go to the archdiocese of Mogio, which was part of the Duchy of Toulouse, the closest to Bordeaux.
After taking care of the tasks, Roy returns to reality.
The dinner has begun.
A cousin of the current King of England and Count of Bordeaux, owner of the Red Maple Estate, John Plantagenet was a man of luxury. For example, in this dinner, in addition to rare foods such as dolphins and peacocks, he even ordered his servants to serve exotic spices from the Far East.
The value of these spices is equivalent to the weight of gold. Not to mention commoners, even ordinary little aristocrats, tasting a little spice is also something that can blow for a lifetime.
However, Roy showed little interest in these spices. To be precise, not interested in all the "luxury food" at the dinner.
Coming from the twenty-first century, which is extremely rich in material civilization, how could he possibly feel that medieval food has a strong interest.
Once he had his fill, Roy put down his knife and fork. Looking at the surrounding guests who were still eating Hessel despite their appearance, Roy shook his head and prepared to find Illario.
The Italian is well-informed, and chatting with him can also increase your understanding of the world.
But the other party was not at the dinner.
At this moment, the owner of the estate, John the Count of Bordeaux, stood up. He picked up his fork and tapped it on the glass a few times to silence the audience.
The Earl, who was already a little drunk, hiccuped and said, "Gentlemen, ladies. I took a look at the GWENT card meeting in the afternoon and found that the one who won the most was the traveling mage from the East, Mr. Roy! ”
Roy could only stand up and nod to the others amid cheers.
Earl John pointed his fork to the other side: "And our church mage, Mr. Stephen, who, like Mr. Lowy, has won a total of seven games!" ”
A young man in a blue cloak stood up and glanced proudly at Roy's side, as if defiant.
Everyone is a mage, and they all have won back-to-back games in the afternoon, so it's not surprising that the other side sees themselves as opponents.
"Don't get too complacent, kid. I know you're cheating with spells to win the game. Me too! If you play against me, you're going to lose a lot of money, whether it's GWENT skill or magic! ”
Roy looked around and saw that Mr. Stephen was sneering at him, and immediately understood that he had sent those words with telephony.
"Some may know, some may not know, that the afternoon Gwent Card Fair was organized by me to help my cousin find a master to attend the Gwent Card Tournament in London. But now, it seems that I have a problem. Both Mr. Lowy and Mr. Stephen are skilled in their cards, but the glory of being able to serve His Majesty the King can only be enjoyed by one person. You say, 'What should I do?' ”
"Let's have another round between Mr. Roy and Mr. Stephen!" Immediately there were good deeds shouted.
"Good idea. Let a wonderful game of GWENT Masters end the day! The Count of Bordeaux raised his glass, "Long live the King!" ”
"Long live the King!"
So, the Gwent card duel between Roy and Stephen at the dinner table was so happily decided.
"Master Stephen, I hope we can put on a great game for everyone." Roy graciously handed a glass of wine to the other party.
Although he has an arrogant personality and looks down on Roy, in front of many nobles, Stephen still maintains his demeanor, smiling and stretching out his hand. But the moment he took the glass, he felt as if something had been lightly stabbed on the back of his hand.
Stephen hurriedly checked, but found no trace on the back of his hand, so he didn't pay attention to it.
What stabbed Stephen was a small thing that Loy had redeemed from the Ship's Lady World Store, costing him 100 points.
"Chieftain Spear."
"Origin: African savannah."
"Effect: A magic item born from the blood, tears and grievances of countless black-faced African admirals. The size can be scaled freely. Targets stabbed by spears have their luck reduced to 'Murder' for one hour. ”
"Description: Five hundred! Five hundred times! I've watched 20 episodes of "Bright Sword", why can't I catch Yunlong! ”
Since the opponent can also rely on spell cheating to play GWENT, why would Roy just go head-to-head with the opponent? Wouldn't it be nice to win by luck?
So, after the start of the game, Stephen sadly found that the cards he drew were always the worst in the deck, and the cards he played were always inferior to the other party, and every tactic he played was always targeted by the other party.
I thought it would be a pinnacle duel, but in the end, it only took Roy ten minutes to win with a score of 2-0.
The Count of Bordeaux ran over, grabbed Roy's hand, and shouted, "Our champion is Roy!" The god of light will bless you! ”
The generous Monsieur Earl also gave his own emerald ring to Loy as a prize for the winner. As a rough estimate, this emerald ring is worth at least 400 grosso silver coins. Roy's Demon Hunter registration fee, that's it.
Stephen snorted, glared at Roy, and left the table angrily.
The rest of the people did not pay attention to this unfortunate episode and continued to eat and drink at the banquet.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, the feast finally ended. Most of the guests were drunk and unconscious, so they stayed overnight at Red Maple Manor. Although Roy did not drink much alcohol and remained sober, he also stayed at the Red Maple Manor at the invitation of the Count of Bordeaux.
After turning off the lights and getting out of bed, and after retiring the servants, Roy immediately got up from the bed, got dressed, bought an invisibility scroll from the plane store, and quietly slipped out.
At tonight's dinner, when Illario was gone, Roy noticed that the servants had drugged the drinks on the table.
