The Statue of Liberty in Castletown, located on the eastern section of Brown Street near the port in the lower city, is built next to a rock cliff.

Due to its geographical location, this temple of Liberty is not very large, but the fact that it can preach the teachings of Liberty in the elven world where the Temple of the Moon is prevalent is in itself a testament to the fact that the Grand Priest of the Temple of Liberty, Felix. Mitchell's excellent diplomatic skills.

However, the reason why the Liberty Temple, an alien sect, was able to gain a foothold in the Elven Realm, also had some reasons for the Moon Temple.

As the largest sect in the Elven Realm, the Moon Temple only accepts the worship of elves, and has always turned away half-blood elves, half-elves, and other races that come to the elven realm.

The lower town of Castletown is located right next to the harbour.

Although it is only a fishing port, there are still ships from the Wood Elf Realm and the Darkmoon Elf Realm, which is one of the most fundamental reasons for the racial mixing of the inhabitants of the lower city near Castletown Harbour.

Everyone was accustomed to this kind of mixed life, and it was such an area that naturally became the place where the Statue of Liberty spread its teachings.

Because the inhabitants here also have a quest for faith......

The usual adherents of this Statue of Liberty are the half-blood elves and half-elves of the lower city.

As a Silver Moon Elf, Lady Belinda was a devout Luna Temple, so Roy barely set foot in the Temple.

Almost every day, Roy would pass by the door of the temple, and could often see the statue of Liberty in the center of the vestibule, stepping into the door of the temple, the courtyard was not large, except for the statue of the goddess in the center, surrounded by a neatly built shrub wall.

The floor of the courtyard is covered with terrazzo slabs, the cracks of which are filled with mortar, and at the entrance of the main hall there are two statues of priests, one of whom holds a two-handed staff, and the priest on the other side wields a flail in his hand, and carries a copper book with a half-meter chain.

The priest holding the staff on the right is wearing a robe, and the priest holding a flail on the left is wearing heavy armor, both of which are very imposing.

Probably because I lost something yesterday, a priest appeared at the entrance of the main hall of the temple.

He saw Roy walk in through the gate, paused in the courtyard for a moment, and then ascended the steps in front of the main temple of the Templar and immediately greeted Roy.

"Sorry, there is no assembly today, and the temple is temporarily closed to the public!"

The priest in the dark red robe said to Roy.

"I'm here...... I wanted to ask the priest in the temple to help me determine if I had divine magic. ”

Roy said to the priest.

The priest looked Roy up and down, and after a pause, he said:

"Then please come with me."

Instead of leading Roy into the temple's main hall, he went around the backyard from the stone path next to the main hall.

The main hall is surrounded by many cypress trees, which are arranged closely together and resemble a tree wall.

The main hall of the temple is much taller than these cypress trees, and the outline of the main hall can be clearly seen from the outside, so Roy usually doesn't pay much attention to this row of cypress walls.

When Roy followed the priest through the dense cypress wall, he found that there was a three-story bell tower next to the main hall, hidden behind the dense trees, like an attic of the main hall.

There is also a well just below the bell tower, but I don't know if this well is fresh water.

On the left side of the bell tower, behind the main hall against the wall, a row of two-story buildings is connected to the main hall, and the outside of the small buildings is connected by a corridor.

It looks like the residence of the priests.

The priest brought Roy to the door of the third room in this row of dwellings, stood outside the door, knocked on the door, and when he heard the answer from inside, he immediately said:

"Priest Reed, there's someone out there who wants to test the divinity."

The wooden door in front of him was pushed open from the inside.

A priest dressed in a dark red silver-trimmed robe stepped out of it, wearing a silver tiara on his head and holding a scepter with a gem at the top.

The priest, known as Reed, stood in front of Roy, his face unwrinkled, and Roy couldn't tell how old he was......

This Reed priest was actually a human, which made Roy feel even more dear.

Living in a city full of elves, Roy felt like an outlier.

Despite his mother, Lady Belinda, repeatedly emphasizing that Roy is a half-elf, Roy feels like a human.

Priest Reed looked at Roy with a gentle gaze, and he noticed Roy's ears that were different from those of the elves.

"Follow me."

His voice was flat and cold, and he turned and walked towards the end of the cloister, then walked up the steps to the second floor.

Roy hurriedly followed.

The priest who had received Roy left.

Roy followed Priest Reed into what looked like a confessional room, a small room with a communication port on the wall and a table and two chairs next to it.

Priest Reed asked Roy to sit down across from him.

Roy sat in his chair and casually surveyed the somewhat dimly lit room......

Priest Reed placed one hand on the table, and then took out a magic crystal, a square sand table, and a glass hourglass with a bronze border.

"Generally speaking, there are three steps to the test on our side, first of all, we must use magic crystals to check whether you have divinity, even if you don't have it, don't worry, I can also use hypnotism to make you enter the dream realm, see if you have received the revelation of the goddess, even if there is no revelation, I can also teach you some simple prayers, as long as you can recite the prayer fluently before the hourglass streamer, and get a trace of the power of the Holy Light, you have the potential to become a trainee priest."

"Because piety will slowly let you master these divine arts, the goddess will not abandon any believer, it has little to do with your identity and race."

Priest Reed introduced the test process to Roy, and it seemed really detailed......

Roy sat down at the table, rubbed his hands together, and explained to Officer Reed:

In fact, it is...... That's why the appraiser from the Magic Guild asked me to give it a try. ”

After speaking, Roy ignored Priest Reed's drowning look, stretched out his right hand and laid it flat on the table, just slightly concentrating, and a firefly-sized flame of light appeared in his palm.

Priest Reed looked at the holy light in Roy's hand with some surprise, and then even condensed a ball of light as big as a candle flame on his fingertips, and leaned his finger over, and under his gentle push, the two rays of light actually merged into one very harmoniously.

"This is indeed the Holy Light, which means that you have the ability to learn divine arts, which is very good, and this light is very pure."

Priest Reed's eyes lit up as he looked at Roy.

I was also a little excited when I spoke.

"What's your name?"

"Roy."

"Roy, would you like to learn magic from me?" Priest Reed asked sincerely.

If a devout believer hears Priest Reed's question, he will not hesitate to agree.

But Roy is not, he is just here to identify what the light cluster in his palm is, so that he can choose a more suitable discipline when he enters the Elven Academy.

"That...... I would like to ask, is there any benefit to learning divine arts? Do you want me to join the Temple? Are there any precepts for the temple? Roy asked hesitantly.

Officer Reed was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him didn't wait to agree at the first time, but asked several questions in a row.

Almost all of the light that can be condensed is the power of the light that can be condensed through the recitation of prayers every day.

They belong to the kind of believers who have a certain foundation and believe in the goddess of liberty.

Obviously, Roy was not like this, he came to identify it when the power of holy light appeared in his body......

Priest Reed sorted out the relationship, and his mood calmed down.

"I'll answer your first question first...... Isn't learning a benefit in itself? ”

Reed asked Roy rhetorically.

Roy shrunk his neck and muttered to himself, 'It's a good thing, but I'm going to school soon, so I can't study both at the same time......

Seeing Roy droop his eyelids and stare at the table without speaking, Priest Reed knew that what he said had not moved Roy.

"Learning the arts does require joining our Statue of Liberty Temple, and then you'll become a trainee priest in the temple." Priest Reed continued.

There are currently only three Priests and two Probationary Priests in the temple, so Priest Reed is desperate to recruit a new Probationary Priest......

He continued, "Once you become a trainee priest, you need to follow the rules of the temple, but those rules are very lenient and will not affect your real life. ”

He paused for a moment and then said, "In addition, after becoming a trainee priest, you can also enjoy many conveniences in the temple. ”

I thought this would make Roy interested, but Roy just looked up at Priest Reed, as if he wanted to listen quietly.

"For example, you can come and go as you like in our library." Priest Reed said.

Roy could only secretly complain: The library of the Elven Academy is twice as large as the main hall of the Temple of Liberty, what is the library......

"Learning magic can increase your strength." Priest Reed said again.

After saying that, he felt that this was not vivid enough, and raised the scepter in his hand and recited a prayer to Roy, and then a pillar of light fell on Roy's body.

Roy only felt a sense of refreshment, like he had just taken a shower, lying on the terrace at night, with the sea breeze gusting......

Is this magic? When you're done with your studies, open a bathing centre in Castletown's Uptown?

Roy was a little confused, and felt that there was really no need to waste time here.

"How's that...... Do you want to think about it? Since you have the Light, it means that you were born to be a priest. ”

Priest Reed sat across from Roy and said smugly.
