Chapter 66: The Team (2)
"What's your name?"
Looking at the resolute expression of the big boy in front of him, Gleilint asked with appreciation.
"My name is Alister, sir."
"My sister's name is Afra, Afra David."
He subconsciously protected his sister behind him and answered on her behalf.
Both of these children looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, about one meter and six meters tall, with dark complexions, deep facial features, and short curly hair that was not common in the Northern Continent.
Among them, Afra looks thinner, and Alister is not very strong, but it can be seen that he is still healthy.
"Is Alister Davy?"
"I'll call you Alister in the future."
"Can you tell me how you got captured?"
Glerint sipped a sip of local mint black tea with a casual and relaxed attitude. Although the altitude of the Star Heights is quite high, and the temperature difference is sufficient, there are no excellent black tea varieties introduced there, so the quality of the black tea produced is really average, and Glerint has to rely on mint to reconcile the taste.
His easy-going temperament and soothing pace of speech gave Alister a certain confidence, and Alister visibly hesitated:
"Your Excellency Mariano."
He struggled to spell out the sermon in Rune.
"We were all caught in the rebellious army."
This was a normal reason, but Glerint noticed that Afra looked up, as if she wanted to say something, but was stopped by Alister again.
Glerlinge nodded, agreeing with him.
"Okay, go freshen up first. Come back to me after dinner and I'll make some arrangements for you. ”
After the servant had taken them away, Glerint asked Shirley again:
"What's going on with them?"
The reason why he didn't ask directly was because Alister obviously didn't trust him very much, and what he answered was a lie and must have little value except for concealment.
And he wants a loyal retinue, so he doesn't want to push the other party too much.
Shirley habitually stroked the hair on the side of her ear:
"These two children are actually the children of a small tribal leader, and they have a decent family upbringing."
"It's not uncommon for small tribes like this to be found here."
"In the battle of resistance, their father was killed. And the two of them were favored by the slave boss because they had fairly good facial features and good upbringing. ”
This background made Glerin frown slightly.
Will they be particularly hostile to the Rune army because of this, and the MI9 to which they now belong is also considered part of the military......
It's no wonder that Alister was very vigilant and cautious about his specific identity just now.
And in a moment of Gleilint's thoughts, Shirley continued:
"Didn't you tell me that these two slaves were bought in the hope of raising the Extraordinary?"
"This boy, Alister, is actually the 'god' of their tribe. Their tribe worships an ancient being who is so old that even the full name of the god cannot be examined, except for the title of 'God of the Damned'. The basis for the existence of this deity is that from time to time a 'divine servant' appears in various tribes that believe in him. ”
"These 'gods' are also called 'spirit witches' locally, and they often learn some curses that can be cast with the help of rituals at some point, and such curses can even kill some mid-level officers."
"As for Afra, there's nothing special about her."
"Divine Servants, Spirit Witches?"
Gleilynt read these two words for a moment, and his eyebrows rose into deep thought.
His original intention was actually just to let Shirley find two healthy people who could withstand the power of potions, and he didn't want to provoke any ancient existence at all!
"Spirit Witch" he knew that this was the name of the sequence five of the "Sleepless" pathway. But the "Sleepless" path doesn't seem to have authority over curses, does it? That's mostly bad luck and secrecy. Is it possible to inflict bad luck on someone through rituals and thus achieve the purpose of a curse?
In addition to this path, the path that really has the extraordinary ability of "curse" should be "prisoner". However, in the original book, the ability of "curse" is not too outstanding, so Glerint can't remember exactly how many sequences have this ability for a while.
Although Shirley told him that the ancient being could not even be tested for the name of the god, and only the title remained.
But according to Glerint's analysis, since "he" can still respond to the rituals of believers, it is likely that he is not completely dead.
This is a serious destabilizing factor.
Originally, his plan was for one of the two children to take the "apprentice" path and the other to take the combat path.
Now, only Afra can determine that she will take the "apprenticeship" path.
As for Alister, Gleilint is going to convert him to "the youngest viscount of the Kingdom of Rune, the great Gleilint Mariano". As long as he no longer believes in the inexplicable "cursed god", he should be able to erase the identity of the "god". After all, the so-called "cursed god" can't always favor someone who doesn't believe in him at all, right?
When Alister no longer has the identity of "God's Favorite", Gleilynt plans to let him take the path of "lawyer", after all, he will definitely have to cultivate believers as "anchors" in the future, so it is definitely better to prepare in advance.
And you can save a lot of money on potion recipes from other sources.
After having dinner with Joan downstairs, Alister and Afra here also washed up and dressed up, at least they looked pretty good.
Although their skin color is not the skin color that Glelynt is familiar with, the facial features of these two children are still relatively attractive, after all, they are the children of the tribal leader, and they are not too ugly.
The two children, Gleilint, were not ready to sign a "contract" with them.
The "contract" is an external constraint, and the truly most effective constraint is often the internal, which is the person's beliefs, principles, and emotions.
If it weren't for Shirley's own ways that were too easy to go wrong, Gleilynt would not be willing to use a "contract" to bind her. In many cases, this kind of external restraint is more likely to stimulate people's rebellious mentality, just like a rebellious child.
Considering that after his honorific name is passed out, it will definitely have a more serious impact, after all, this is directly bound to "Glerin Mariano".
Therefore, Glerint chose to tell Alister only one person for the time being, and strictly forbade him to spread the word.
Glerint now roughly understood why the names of the gods did not need to be described, because "the true God is the only one" and there was no possibility of pointing to other beings. However, there may be more than one angel or saint of the same rank, so it is necessary to assist in description and precise positioning.
He actually has the idea of changing his last two sentences of honorific name now, but he can't find a description that not only fits his own characteristics but does not reveal his identity, so he can only use this honorific name first.
At the moment, only Jim and Alister know this honorific name, so it shouldn't have much of an impact.
Since Jim has completed the digestion of the "Trickster" potion, he only needs the "Heart of the Mutant Rava Octopus" to be promoted, while Shirley and Afra are still short of the main ingredients of their respective potions.
So Glerint was now desperate to attend an extraordinary party and buy these things.
