The temple was deserted on days when there were no assemblies, and there were only five priests in a large courtyard, and the two probationary priests had to do some things that only servants would do, such as cleaning the courtyard, taking turns guarding the temple gates, building greenery in the courtyard, and so on.

Of course, the biggest difference between Jasper and Abt and the minions is that they also learn magic from the priests every day.

In the morning and evening, they both prayed in front of the Statue of Liberty.

Roy braved the rain to rush into the lounge in the backyard of the temple, wring out his soaked clothes and hanging them in the tiny room.

After wiping the rain from his body and hair, Roy changed into the robe of a probationary priest and hurried to the study on the second floor.

Every afternoon, Grand Priest Reed would teach the three apprentice priests magic in his study.

Maybe it's because they've been here for a long time and have lost their initial sense of novelty, and Jasper and Abt are always looking for excuses to skip class.

Only Roy, who had just taken three days of class, still learned with relish, especially since he had just learned the 'Shimmer Illumination Technique' yesterday, and he hadn't even had time to show it.

Now there are some problems that he wants Grand Priest Reed, so when he comes to the temple, he can't wait to run to the study.

……

'Tuk Tuk'

There was a knock on the door, and hearing the response from inside, Roy cautiously pushed open the door to the study.

Apprentice Priests Jasper and Abt sat at a round table in the study, and in front of them lay a thick book that looked like it was some kind of magic.

The two midshipmen immediately winked at Roy when they saw him walk in, and they were a little relieved to be able to have someone face Archpriest Reed together.

Grand Priest Reed didn't know what was wrong, he was in a bad mood today, his face was rarely full of worries, and he was preoccupied.

The assessment of the homework of the two is also a little stricter.

As soon as Roy sat down, he heard Grand Priest Reed say:

"Roy, let me see what you learned yesterday."

"Okay, teacher."

Roy unhurriedly got up from his seat, adjusted his breathing slightly, and then recited the prayer of 'Shimmer Illumination', and the tips of his fingers released an extremely thin line of holy light, weaving a divine pattern in front of Roy.

Countless glimmers of divine aura appeared around Roy's body, and these glimmers slowly rose and condensed at the tips of Roy's fingers.

A light that was not too bright was rising, but the divine aura inside was extremely pure.

Jasper and Abt were surprised, their way of nature was that Roy had actually learned entry-level magic on his third day in the temple......

What a speed!

The two apprentice priests looked at each other, and couldn't help but whisper beside Roy:

"Roy, how the hell did you do it, it's incredible that you mastered the 'Shimmer Illumination Technique' so quickly."

"Roy, you're ...... Let others do? ”

Grand Priest Reed nodded slightly, very satisfied that Roy was able to master the 'Shimmer Illumination Technique' so quickly.

Then he asked Roy to condense the light in the palm of his hand......

In fact, this group of holy light has formed the shape of a seed in Roy's body, and the invisible tentacle has actually become longer, usually like a sea anemone's tentacles, as long as there are some particles of holy light floating past Roy's side, they will be caught by the tentacles into the seed of light.

It doesn't matter if Roy is asleep or awake.

It doesn't matter if Roy is taking a martial arts class, or a geography class.

The invisible tentacles were tirelessly grasping at the particles of holy light around them.

Although the Light is growing very slowly, it is growing all the time.

The ball of light was still small, so the changes were evident from day to day, and Roy released a ball of light the size of an apple in his hand.

Trainee Priests Jasper and Abt covered their mouths directly......

There was also some more approval in Reed's eyes, and he reached out and patted Roy on the shoulder, and praised him:

"The light cluster is obviously a little bigger than yesterday, and young people know that hard work is always good......"

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Roy was also secretly relieved in his heart.

Jasper and Abt couldn't see the invisible tentacle either.

Roy even asked the invisible tentacles to grab a few particles of holy light in front of Abt, but the young trainee priest really didn't react......

"Teacher, among the primary divine arts, is there anything that can improve combat ability?"

After Roy sat down, he asked Archpriest Reed.

What he thought in his heart was that since Steve's elves had decided to trouble him, they would never stop at once.

I got away with it because of the rain today, but that doesn't mean I'll be so lucky every time.

Once you are blocked on the street by these elves, then it is inevitable to do it.

Roy's idea is also very simple, even if he is beaten, he must at least pull a cushion.

Naturally, Grand Priest Reed didn't know that Roy was preparing for the group fight he was about to face, and thought that he had decided to take the route of the 'Battle Priest', so he would learn the magic of assisting in battle.

"Yes, the 'Blessing of Strength' is a primary divine skill that every combat priest must learn." Archpriest Reed said.

"Teacher, I want to learn!" Roy said.

The curiosity in his eyes made Grand Priest Reed very satisfied.

"Let me look for it, oh, here ......"

Grand Priest Reed flipped through the bookshelves behind him for a moment before he found a book that was covered in thick dust, and it was clear that he didn't like the magic that was supporting the battle.

He put the book in front of Roy with some disgust, and still didn't forget to recommend it to Roy:

"I think the secondary treatment technique is more practical, as a trainee priest, it is inevitable to meet people who have been injured by some accidents in the future, the secondary treatment technique will help you heal some minor injuries, and for those serious injuries, it can also speed up the healing of wounds, and with some first aid knowledge, this is the knowledge that priests need to focus on."

"Teacher, I want to learn this ...... too"

Of course, smart people do all the multiple-choice questions!

Grand Priest Reed frowned, and promptly corrected Roy's choice:

"Roy, people's life energy is limited, even if you have excellent talent, you can't become a priest and a battle priest at the same time, it's better to choose some favorite divine arts and learn more specialized."

Roy smiled and said:

"Teacher, I'm a half-elf, if I don't consider some unexpected events, I can probably live to be three hundred and fifty years old, so it shouldn't matter if I learn a few more elementary magic techniques......"

This sentence immediately left Grand Priest Reed speechless.

"Okay, this is the 'Blessing of Strength', this is the 'Secondary Healing Technique', I haven't learned the 'Blessing of Strength', but it just so happens that Priest Osido is good at this Divine Technique, if you don't understand something, you can ask him for advice, now, Jasper, you can demonstrate the 'Secondary Healing Technique' for Roy."

"Yes, Grand Priest Reed!"

Jasper quickly stood up, crossed his fingers in front of his chest, and began to recite the prayer one by one.

A cloud of holy light lit up in his chest, and the light almost enveloped his whole body, and in the divine glow, a halo appeared under Jasper's feet, and in the halo was a very complete set of divine patterns.

He performed this magic very quickly, and as he finished chanting the prayer, in the blink of an eye, a beam of holy light fell on the round table.

Roy, who was sitting at the round table, clearly felt the rich vitality in that holy light.

Grand Priest Reed didn't seem to be so satisfied with Jasper's display of magic.

He motioned for Jasper to sit down, and explained to Roy with a slight displeasure:

"Jasper burned the divine pattern of the 'secondary healing technique' in the 'Divine Prayer' book, and when performing the divine technique, as long as he injected the power of holy light into the magic book, and combined with the prayer, the divine pattern burned in the book could be activated, so that this divine art could be released as quickly as possible."

"To put it simply, burning the Divine Pattern in the Magician can greatly simplify the casting steps of the Divine Spell and increase the casting speed."

"But for beginners, it can't be practiced, especially if it will make the magic incomplete, I don't recommend practicing like this, but it is allowed to be used in daily life, after all, it is more convenient......"

Roy nodded humbly and modestly, indicating that he understood.

To put it bluntly, Jasper's approach is like simplifying the steps when solving a math problem, although the final result is the same, but it lacks some intermediate steps to solve the problem.

Still, Roy glanced enviously at the book of the 'Sacred Prayers' in Jasper's hand.

Then, Grand Priest Reed recast the 'Secondary Healing Technique' in its entirety, allowing Roy to see the correct steps of this Divine Technique.

This is followed by a detailed dismantling of the divine pattern and prayers, and the timing of the two cooperation, etc., all of which are explained in detail......

For some reason, Roy could always feel the urgency of Grand Priest Reed, as if something was chasing him behind him, and he couldn't wait to hand over these magic spells to Roy.

Even if he knew that Roy had not yet mastered the 'Shimmer Illumination Technique', but when he heard that Roy wanted to continue learning the 'Blessing of Strength', he agreed without hesitation, and even attached the 'Secondary Healing Technique'......

In fact, Grand Priest Reed was also worried that this kind of cramming teaching would make Roy's foundation unstable, so he repeatedly told Roy to practice more when he went home, and strive to let these elementary magic techniques form some muscle memories and can be used as he wants.

He also sternly warned Roy that it was strictly forbidden to use magic props to assist in spell casting during the study of divine arts......

For these requirements of the Grand Priest Reed, Roy naturally pursued them all.

However, Priest Theodore, who then rushed over to demonstrate the 'Power Blessing' spell casting steps to Roy, had a different attitude, as an elven priest, he admired the auxiliary casting of magic props, believing that this could not only greatly shorten the casting time, improve the success rate of spell casting, but also simplify the difficulty of learning magic magic.

This way of learning is bound to replace the traditional way of learning magic......

Although the two priests had conflicting views on the study of divine arts, this did not prevent Roy from learning the 'Blessing of Strength'.

It took Roy almost an afternoon to stumble upon the magic of 'Blessing of Strength', and although the success rate was pitifully low, at least he felt the feeling of success.

As long as you keep that feeling in mind, the cast success rate will gradually increase.

For Roy's diligence, even Priest Theodore praised him.

In fact, Roy can't explain this......

Of course, he couldn't say that this curiosity for magic was completely forced out by Steve's elves.

……

In the course of an afternoon, Roy had only learned the 'Blessing of Strength'.

Although he also wanted to learn the 'secondary healing technique', he couldn't do it until he left the temple.

But even so, the two apprentice priests, Jasper and Abt, who studied with him in the study, saw Roy's hard work and were completely impressed by Roy.

"Roy, I think you are simply a genius, you have mastered the 'Blessing of Strength' so quickly, when I entered the temple, it took about three months to learn the 'Shimmer Illumination Technique', and the 'Blessing of Strength' has not been learned until now......"

The three midshippers walked out of the study, Jasper with his arm on Roy's shoulder, babbling about his 'glorious past'.

Abt next to him was also very curious and asked:

"Roy, don't you feel bored when you practice these magic techniques?"

Roy told the truth: "Actually, it's okay. ”

It's really okay, for Roy, it's many times easier than brushing up on questions a few months before the college entrance examination......

Abt felt that Roy's freshness had not disappeared, and he couldn't help but say:

"Well, when his excitement about the magic has passed, he will become like us as the salted fish of Castletown Harbour that are drying up, and would rather hang on a rope and blow the sea breeze than sit in the house and learn the magic......"

At this point, Roy returned to the break room to change out of the trainee priest's robes.

However, his clothes were not dried in the room, and he could only wear them half-dead and half-dry.

Jasper and Abt were chatting with Roy right at the door.

"By the way, on the day of the temple assembly tomorrow, remember to come over early to help." Jasper reminded Roy.

Roy endured the uncomfortable feeling of wet clothes sticking to his body, and happily agreed:

"Got it, I'll be here as soon as class is over."

When Roy came out of the break room to change his clothes and saw Priest Andison sitting alone by the well in the backyard, he obviously didn't notice Roy.

Holding a fir staff in his hand, he was reciting the prayer in a very soft tone, and he walked around the courtyard a few times while reciting a few words, his steps were a little hurried, his face was still as pale as yesterday, and his mood seemed a little restless.

"Reed, we should also take a stand, we can't be so silent anymore, we should also write a petition!"

Priest Andison muttered to himself, and was overheard by Roy passing by, but he didn't expect that he was actually preparing some words with Archpriest Reed......

Roy was also confused.

Thinking that he would probably have to deal with those troubles tomorrow at the Elven Academy, Roy could only speed up his pace and go home, striving to practice the 'Blessing of Strength' a few more times.
