Archpriest Reed pushed the door open and entered the study, and Jasper and Abt sat down in their chairs, clasped their hands together and prayed silently.

Grand Priest Reed glanced at the two of them, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Walked up to Roy and sat down, pinched the corners of his slightly astringent eyes, and then said to Roy, who was practicing the 'Blessing of Strength' divine pattern:

"Roy, how is this magic practice?"

Roy sat up straight, a little embarrassed to reply:

"I haven't learned it yet, that divine pattern is a little difficult to ......"

Seeing that Roy hadn't learned the 'Blessing of Strength' yet, Grand Priest Reed didn't feel strange, and only said:

"Practice a lot, and wait until you are proficient, I also copied for nearly a week at the beginning, in order to accurately draw the complete divine pattern, and when you recite the prayer later, you still always make mistakes, don't be too anxious when learning this kind of magic technique, just take your time."

Roy shook his somewhat sour wrist and asked Grand Priest Reed:

"Teacher, have you ever been to the Grimm Empire?"

Grand Priest Reed laughed and replied with some nostalgia: "Of course, that is my hometown, but the city of Castletown is a small stop on my life's journey. ”

Roy actually wanted to ask what life was like on the Grimm Empire.

After all, the soul in this body is a human being, and it somewhat yearns for a human life.

But before he could ask, he heard Priest Addison say in the cloister:

"Archpriest Reed, there are two elven guards outside who want to see you."

Archpriest Reed immediately replied:

"Okay, I'll be right here."

He stood up from the round table, thought for a moment and stopped, and reminded Roy, who was trying to learn the Divine Pattern:

"Only with a strong enough Light power can one learn higher divine arts, all of which are based on prayer. Roy, you have to memorize the prayers so that the goddess can feel your piety, and you will gain more power of the Light. ”

"Got it, teacher." Roy said.

Grand Priest Reed pushed open the door to the study and hurried away.

When the wooden door closed dullly again, Jasper and Abt, with their hands folded, opened their eyes again, and the two of them let out a sigh of relief.

After Archpriest Reed left, they felt much more relaxed.

Seeing Roy begin to try to recite the prayer, Jasper whispered to Roy, "Even if I pray all day now, I can't gather much light......

Abt, who was sitting next to him, also collapsed at once, put his pointed chin on the table, and said weakly:

"Yes, I feel as if the goddess has completely forgotten this elven continent, or her number of followers is too large for her to take care of, in short, I haven't felt the feeling of being bathed in holy light after prayer for at least two months."

The blonde hair on his head was a little naturally curly, and at this time, he raised his upper eyelids to look at Roy on the side, and asked him:

"Roy, have you ever felt it when you prayed lately...... That's the kind of ...... A beam of holy light shone down from the top of your head, enveloping your whole body, the kind of holy light that seems to become translucent under the holy light, and countless holy lights wash the soul in your body? ”

Roy shook his head and asked in surprise, "Do you still feel this way after reciting the prayer?" ”

Jasper said: "It's not very common, there used to be once or twice a month, every time I bathed in the holy light, the power of the holy light in the body would become extremely full, if we happened to be on the verge of promotion at this time, this holy light would break through the shackles and help us successfully advance......"

"Breakthrough?"

Roy didn't expect that after becoming a trainee priest, he couldn't just learn divine arts, but the most important thing was to condense the power of holy light to break through.

"That's right, like we probationary priests have ten levels." Jasper said it as a matter of course.

"Every time you break through, the power of the holy light in your body will increase by leaps and bounds, and the feeling will be very clear, after reaching the tenth level, if the power of the holy light reaches that critical value, you can become a real priest, and of course the temple will hold a simple ceremony."

Then Abt said:

"In the past, as long as you were willing to recite the prayer diligently, you would gather enough power of holy light to be promoted from a probationary priest to a priest, but it was only a matter of time."

He paused before he added:

"It's more troublesome now, and I can't feel the feeling of bathing in the holy light when I pray."

Jasper said helplessly:

"Yes, I've been stuck at level eight for more than two months, and I don't have any hope of advancing at all."

"Roy, haven't you been bathed in the light since you felt it?"

Roy nodded.

"Then you don't have to test, you're still a first-class trainee priest."

Jasper patted Roy on the shoulder, comforting.

"But Roy has already learned the 'shimmering technique'!" Abt doesn't agree with Jasper.

Jasper swore and said:

"It only says that he is very talented, and it does not represent his rank. That's why the Grand Priest Reed asked him to recite prayers more often. ”

Abt casually flipped through the sacred prayer in front of him, and said weakly, "But what's the use? Anyway, I don't have any confidence at all. ”

Jasper hooked his hand around his neck and reminded him, "As a devout Lady Liberty Cadet Priest, Abt, you will be whipped for saying such things. ”

Abt spread his hands and said with some scoundrels, "So...... I never said that! ”

It can be seen that Jasper and Abt have a good relationship.

With the explanations of the two of them, Roy can be regarded as understanding the intention of Grand Priest Reed's earnest advice, probably because he feels that he is obsessed with divine arts, and does not calm down and pray, which is a bit of putting the cart before the horse.

Then he put down the 'blessing of strength' and began to learn to recite the long and elaborate prayers.

After just some trying, Roy found out that it was really the same as Jasper said.

His prayers seemed to be of little use, and the particles of holy light around his body did not have the slightest intention of gathering.

The Holy Light Seed in his body was still doing his thing, and he used that invisible arm to pick up the Holy Light particles around him, but the Light Seed seemed to have sprouted a young bud, and Roy suddenly found that the light cluster was much more dazzling than yesterday.

The light in that seed of holy light seemed to flow slowly, like the thick fog rolling by the Dane River in the early morning.

And as the tentacles continued to suck the particles of holy light into the seed of light, the brightness of the seed of light in Roy's body began to surge, and even burst out through Roy's body.

An extremely warm glow spread throughout the body, and the warm current flowed through the body like an empty water bottle.

Roy could clearly feel that the dark wounds on his body that had not yet fully healed were slowly dissipating under the illumination of these holy lights.

The seed of light stretched out an invisible tentacle in the dazzling light, and now there were two tentacles dancing constantly, touching the particles of holy light that were floating around Roy's body, and they would suck it into the seed of light.

The light that burst out of the light seed in his body had not completely dissipated, and when he saw Roy open his eyes, Jasper next to him grabbed Roy's arm and asked loudly:

"Roy, how did you do that?"

"What am I talking about, Roy is very talented as a priest, it seems that the goddess has not completely forgotten here, what she has forgotten is only the two of us......"

Before Abt could finish speaking, a hand covered his mouth.

"Don't talk nonsense, the goddess is above......"

Jasper's face changed slightly, and he rebuked Abtt.

Abt fended off Jasper's big hand and said to Roy:

"Roy, congratulations on your successful promotion to ...... Trainee Priest II. ”

Roy sat in his chair a little bewildered.

Seeing Roy's blank face, Abt knew that he was a beginner who didn't know much about anything, so he said to him:

"As a person who has come over, in this case, I suggest that you better get used to it a little and feel the subtle changes in your body, these holy lights will not only improve your physique, but the main thing is to strengthen your mental strength, so that you can enter the state more quickly when praying, and in general, your body has become stronger......"

Roy got up from his seat.

Extend your right hand with your palm up.

As he concentrated his thoughts, a dazzling cluster of light appeared in his hand, and although the flame was only the size of an apple, it was far more dazzling than what Roy had condensed before.

"So that's what it feels like to be promoted......"

Roy tried to draw the 'Blessing of Strength' divine pattern with the power of the holy light in the palm of his hand, probably because the holy light was extraordinarily rich, and this time it was much smoother than when he drew it before.

I spent an afternoon in the study.

And Roy's successful promotion also completely rekindled the confidence of Jasper and Abt, and they recited the prayer very seriously......

……

On the way home, Roy thought about going to the Elven Academy tomorrow.

The elven nobleman Steve was beaten, and he would definitely not be reconciled, and he would have to lead someone to block himself on the street tomorrow.

Roy is not a fool.

Of course, he knew that in Castletown, a Silver Moon Elf nobleman would not care too much about the life or death of a half-elf with no background.

This is also the reason why he heard about the feud between Claire and Steve, and did everything possible to bring Claire in.

With him, at least the other party won't go too far.

Otherwise, he will be directly blocked in the alley, and it is very likely that he will be killed by an arrow like an elf thief, and he will be secretly interrupted.

Now we have tried the other party's bottom line.

Maybe it's because of Claire's presence, and the young elves are also very measured, at least they didn't do it ruthlessly when they beat up the group.

After thinking about it, Roy decided to practice the dismantling movements he had learned in the elementary martial arts training class in the evening.

Maybe you'll be able to use it tomorrow......

"Roy, you seem to have turned white......"

Katie Venal, the neighbor's bear child, sat on the wall of her house and taunted Roy on the street.

Roy stooped down to pick up a stone from the side of the street, and frightened the bear child to slip off the wall and hide in the roses that filled the side.
