Chapter 360: It's not necessarily all trivial things in a small city
These two young students are really strong! The bishops of the Moonlight City Light Temple Alliance who were standing behind sighed.
"Junming, it's not easy here. "Tirida has returned to normal, no matter what happened to Jiang Junming, he was explained by the fact that he was a young apprentice priest who was favored by the goddess of care, that is, what he wanted to do so much. No longer dwelling on these questions, Tirida immediately realized what the black droplet had just appeared.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Junming asked without knowing what was going on.
"There are spell traps here, it's not easy. Tirida said.
"What is a spell trap?"
"Uh......" Tireda felt that it was really difficult to communicate with Jiang Junming, it was clear that he could already ignore the cooldown time of the divine art, but he was instantaneous, but he didn't even know some of the lowest and most basic knowledge. Tirida once again sighed inexplicably, Jiang Junming is really a monster.
"Spell traps are like hunter-made traps hunted in the jungle or grassland, if someone touches the magic array, the magic array will naturally attack the person who touched the magic array. "Tireda still broke out in a cold sweat when she thought about it now, the spell trap of this dark magic array was so powerful, if it weren't for Jiang Junming's presence, she and all the bishops present would be in danger just now.
"Oh, that's right, the person who set up this magic array is amazing. Jiang Junming said lightly, and he couldn't see anything remarkable about that person in his expression.

Towering into the sky, the Magic Spire is the tallest building in any city with a magician.
It is said that the higher the magic spire, the closer it is to the magic web. The more you can feel the purest magical breath. As a result, the magicians' spires were built higher and higher, reaching into the clouds, and it was difficult for some of them to see where the top was when looking up from below.
A sorcerer's spire somewhere. A magician was busy doing complex magic experiments on a certain level of the spire, the light of the magic crystal was constantly flickering, and the small magic arrays were flashing with various magical lights, and the whole room was filled with a mysterious atmosphere.
Suddenly, a small mirror beside the magician shone brightly.
"Huh?" The magician, who was busy, didn't expect such a thing to happen, and subconsciously sighed, and immediately turned his head to look over. Just as he turned his head, the mirror shattered with a "snap".
The whole mirror shattered. Countless glass shards were scattered around the wooden frames, reflecting the light flowing from the magic array, looking colorful. It's good-looking.
Seeing the mirror shattered, the black-robed magician's face showed a look of surprise. Then he reached out from his black magic robe, his fingers slender but thin. There is almost no flesh on the back of the hand. It looked like the palm of a skeleton. His fingers moved slightly, and two magic runes that didn't seem to exist in mid-air were outlined. The magician's mouth quivered slightly, chanting a magic spell at a rapid pace.
The magical glow reflected by the shards of glass that fell on the table began to distort with the magician's magic, and then merged into a mirror-like light and shadow out of thin air, and two shadows appeared in the light.
The shadows gradually became clear, and behind them there were many people standing, but those people seemed to be only in the background. And it didn't present an image. Only the first two shadows are constantly "metamorphosing", from blurry to clear. Two faces appear in the light and shadow.
These two people are Jiang Junming and Tireda. Their figures appeared in front of the magician, and when the figures were clear, the magician stopped chanting the incantation, carefully observing the two shadows that appeared in the light.
The magician looked at it for a long time, as if he had memorized the appearance of Jiang Junming and Tireda in his mind. It wasn't until he was sure he remembered that his withered fingers swung in mid-air, erasing the light and shadow. Jiang Junming and Tireda's figures dissipated, turning into countless points of light, floating, slowly falling to the table, and jumping twice before losing their light.
The magician turned and took out another black robe and put it on. Unlike the other mage robes, this one had a black hood that was worn over his head to obscure most of his face. A strand of gray hair peeked out from the edge of the black hood, moving slightly with the ripples of magic around it.
With a black mage robe and a black hood, the entire mage's temperament suddenly became gloomy and dark. He slowly picked up a copper basin, filled it with water, dripped two drops of potion into it, and began to chant the incantation.
The spells he chanted were not like the magic language commonly used by magicians, and they were used to communicate with the magic web, and this kind of magic spell was also full of eerie temperament like the black-robed magician.
Soon, several vague figures appeared on the surface of the water.
The black-robed magician did not continue to cast the spell, making the figures clear, and as soon as the figures appeared, he stopped chanting the spell, looked at the figures and said, "There is a magic array in Moonlight City that has reacted. ”
Although the figures in the basin were blurry, they could vaguely see that they were wearing the decorations of the Temple of Light Alliance, and several people heard what the black-robed magician said, although they couldn't see their expressions clearly, but they could clearly feel their doubts. After a few seconds, a muffled voice came from the basin, "It can only be the work of the dark god on that side, how can there be a believer of the light department?"
The magician in the black magician's robe sneered and said, "Isn't this prediction as accurate as the one below?"
"Now we don't have time to pass, many things have not calmed down, you let the forces on that side monitor nearby, and notify us immediately if there is any movement. The blurred figure in the basin said.
The black-robed magician sighed and said, "Since everything has been predicted, and such a strange thing is happening over there, it is better to gather strength as soon as possible." ”
The vague figure in the basin didn't seem to be discussing with the magician, but just informing him, and after speaking, the originally vague figure began to move slightly in the basin, and then there was a ripple in the clear water in the basin. The ripples rippled, and the figure was hidden in the ripples, even more unrecognizable. When the water ripples stop fluctuating. A basin of clear water turned into clear water again, and the figure that once appeared in it has disappeared.
At the end of the call, the black-robed magician looked at Qing Shui in a daze, his gray hair hanging down slightly, and his entire face was hidden in the black hood, and the shadow was cast down, covering the expression on his face.
====
The magic circle in the basement of the Stiletto Guild was purified. Although the matter has passed, in a small city like Moonlight City, there is actually a dark magic array. And there are magic traps on this magic array, and all the bishops present understand what these mean.
It was not as simple as they had imagined, and the bishops were very nervous. Mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized immediately. Really get to the bottom of it.
What does the Dark Circle mean? If Moonlight City were to experience a demonic attack like Twilight, the entire city would be razed to the ground. Although the dark aura here is not the chaotic and evil aura from the abyss, the believers who believe in the Dark Mansions are no worse than demons, if it is true that Moonlight City is facing such a threat...... All the bishops knew the severity of the situation, and none of them dared to delay.
The forces of the church and the city guards were mobilized, and they first investigated the details of the people in the Blue Wolf Chamber of Commerce. Bishop Price asked Price Jr. to take someone to investigate.
After questioning the men and the owner of the Wilderness Herb Shop, Little Price took the city guards and priests to the house of Chados the Fat and Aried the Thin Man, and brought them back for interrogation.
The outcome of the interrogation was simple. The families of Fat Chados and Thin Aried said in unison that the two of them had been expelled from the Church College in Twilight. When I got home, I suddenly wanted to do business. When the family heard this, they were also very pleased. Because the fat man Chados and the thin man Aried have been doing nothing all the time, doing evil in Moonlight City. It's not going on like this. Thinking about doing business, no matter how you say it, it's a serious business.
After the family gave them two a sum of money, they built this blue wolf trading house. The family was still a little puzzled at first, but they didn't expect that the fat man Chateados and the thin man Aride were really doing business, although it was indispensable to bully and dominate the market, but after all, ...... No matter how you say it, it's not business.
Of course, the family members of the fat man Chateados and the thin man Aried also knew that the two of them were secretly helping the robbers outside the city to sell the stolen goods, but it was not a big deal, and others often helped to do this kind of thing. As long as enough donations are given to the Light Temple Alliance, no one will hold on to this matter. The family turned a blind eye and didn't know.
In the past, this matter was nothing, but now that the Dark Magic Array has been found in the address of the Blue Wolf Chamber of Commerce, this matter is a big deal!
Whether it was the city guards of the city council or the church of the Bright Temple Alliance, they were already in action at this time, and no one dared to delay this kind of big thing in the eyes of Moonlight City. The families of Chados the Fat and Aried the Thin were convicted and temporarily detained, and then the city guard and the forces of the Church began to prepare to go out of the city to exterminate the bandits.
It's been a long time since something like this has happened in Moonlight City, and most of the city guards don't even have a set of light armor, so the order to go out of the city to exterminate the thieves group is transmitted, and the city guards begin to make preparations. But as it stands, it will take at least two days to prepare.
This is not a matter of urgency, after all, the strength of the robbers does not know the strength of the robbers, and fighting a war is a matter of life, if you rush out of the city like this, maybe the city guards and priests who exterminated the robbers will be killed by all the robbers, then it will be a big joke.
Little Price told Jiang Junming about these things, mainly to give Jiang Junming an explanation, and Little Price and Jiang Junming are more familiar, and there are some things that other bishops can't say, but Little Price can make it clear to Jiang Junming, and there is no need to taboo anything.
"Jun Ming, the current situation is like this, all the power that Moonlight City can use has been used, and no matter how many things there are, there is no way to do it immediately. After Little Price finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Junming and was a little helpless.
"Thank you. Jiang Junming said with a gentle smile on his face.
"It's nothing hard, and today you scared my dad and the other bishops. Little Price saw that Jiang Junming was very gentle, and he was also relieved. In addition, he is very familiar with Jiang Junming, and he often jokes in the church college, so he speaks very directly.
Tirida glanced at Price Jr. and said, "They're embarrassed." If it weren't for you, all the clergy of all the churches in Moonlight City would have been sent to the Inquisition this time. ”
Little Price said embarrassedly: "Small cities are like this, everyone has been used to them for so many years. ”
Jiang Junming saw Little Price's embarrassed expression. smiled and said, "I also grew up in Moonlight City, how can I not know." Now that it's all dealt with, so be it, I'm going to care for the church, do you have time?"
Of course, Tirida has to follow Jiang Junming, after little Price returns. got his father's instructions, he must get closer to Jiang Junming, and listen to Jiang Junming say this. Hurriedly said: "Of course, let's go together." ”
After a busy night for the affairs of the Blue Wolf Chamber of Commerce, and now that the sky is bright, Jiang Junming, Tireda, and Little Price have come all the way to the Caring Church.
Moonlight City is small. Jiang Junming saw familiar streets and those familiar people along the way. I sighed in my heart. I used to think that the orphanage was the whole world, and it was so difficult to get out of the orphanage. Later, by chance, he was sent to the wilderness herb shop by the director of the orphanage. I thought I would live here for a long time, or even die of old age. At that time, my ideal was to live and live better. But things changed quickly, and I didn't expect that in just a few months, I would become what I am now.
Thinking about the previous qiē, it really feels like a dream.
The place where the Caring Church is located is not far from the slums. It looks a little more remote and barren than the temple of the Goddess of Care in Twilight. The temple is not large and dilapidated. Jiang Junming has only been here once. I can barely remember what it used to be like. This time, I took a closer look at this temple of caring for the goddess, and I sighed in my heart.
When the temples of other churches are built, at least alchemy arrays that can enhance divine power and magic will be added to the foundation, but the temple of the goddess of care in front of him, Jiang Junming did not feel this kind of aura. When you want to come here to build, you should be very casual, or the priest who built this temple doesn't know at all, or you can't afford to ask an alchemist to make an alchemy circle.
The church that cares for the goddess is poor...... Jiang Junming remembered the temple that was being built, and inexplicably had a sense of anticipation.
Pushing open the door of the temple, Jiang Junming saw that Priest Raphael and another priest were praying, and several young men in the temple who looked like apprentices saw Jiang Junming coming, and they all respectfully came to greet him. Jiang Junming vaguely remembered that he went to the church college to study, and it seemed that he occupied a place for a certain person here, but Jiang Junming couldn't remember this matter clearly, and he couldn't tell which person it was.
O'Neill, who used to be very unfriendly to Jiang Junming, stood in the apprenticeship center and looked at Jiang Junming with complicated feelings. It's only been a few months? How did Jiang Junming go from an apprentice in the herb shop, a guy who couldn't even pray, to a young priest who was favored by the goddess of care? Listening to what happened in the wilderness herb shop last night, O'Neill could also feel the reactions of the surrounding city guards and church priests.
Even if there is something to do in ordinary care, if you want to mobilize the city guards, you are dreaming. Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiang Junming came back, he made a lot of noise, and the city guards stayed awake all night, and they didn't see any officers of the city guards dare to complain.
Really...... O'Neill looked at Jiang Junming's body, which had become much stronger, and sighed in his heart, at that time, Raphael Priest said that this was the guidance of the goddess of care, and he still didn't believe it. Now look at it, it's really like that.
Jiang Junming saw Priest Raphael standing up, hurriedly stepped forward, and said politely: "Priest Raphael, I'll go back to the temple to see, don't you want to make the holy emblem and the statue of the goddess." Is there any material?"
Raphael said, "There are materials, but I'm afraid they can't be compared with the materials you used to make the Zuò emblem and the statue of the goddess in Twilight City. ”
Jiang Junming smiled and didn't care. It would be strange if the Caring Church in Moonlight City could come up with the materials provided to them by the Felleonlos family and the Great Alchemist of Tisendahal.
Looking up, the emblem in my memory and the statue of the goddess of care were still there. The Holy Emblem didn't seem to have changed, and the statue of the goddess looked a little decayed at this time. The pure wooden statue of the god, after years of boiling, the color depicted on it has fallen off, and you can see many small holes exposed in the wood inside, which are rotten and almost rotten.
Seeing Jiang Junming observing the statue of the goddess, the priest Raphael said with some embarrassment: "This statue of the goddess of care was carved by me when the temple was built. I didn't know what the goddess looked like, and at that time it was very difficult to build a temple, and there were no good materials to carve the goddess statue, so I just found a piece of leftover materials from the construction temple to carve the statue of the goddess. ”
Jiang Junming smiled, caring for the church is very poor, and he understands this best. Priest Elaine threw down a sentence at that time, that is, she didn't care how she wanted to toss, but she didn't have money to care for the church. Gold coins are not seen in the Caring Church at all. It is understandable that Raphael would do this.
Tirida sighed in her heart, as long as Jiang Junming was willing, he would become a disciple of the Archbishop of the Morning Light Church in Silver Moon City, and his future was limitless. And even if he becomes an archbishop in the future, it is estimated that it will not be too difficult, after all, Jiang Junming is the person mentioned in the oracle by the archbishop. But he would rather stay in the Caring Church and see what the Caring Church looks like now, in a city where there is a temple, there is a simple temple, not even a bishop, two or three priests, a few believers. Even the carving of the statue of the goddess has to use leftover scraps from the building of the temple, is there a future for this kind of church? (To be continued......
