This afternoon's class is one of the few specialized classes that the seminary can access in its freshman year.

Therefore, Ivas and Lily did not wear their usual blue and white uniforms, but changed into the seminary's own uniforms. That is, the white robe, which is identical in appearance and function to the clergy's uniform, except that there is no holy rank indicated.

Because this course is called "Prayer Studies".

It mainly teaches the etiquette and procedures for issuing different prayers to the Nine Pillars God based on different purposes and needs, on different occasions, and with different materials.

Texts, prayers, sacrifices, rituals, taboos......

There is no difficulty in this course, the only difficulty is the large amount of memorization. Because of the large amount of memorization, this course can only be completed from the first semester of freshman year to the third semester of sophomore year.

At that time, Bishop Mathers did not teach Ivus the sacred art of "prayer" because it was impossible to teach. The main purpose of the seminary's existence is to devote two years to teaching these preparatory priests how to pray to the Nine Pillars - in addition to the effect of restoring mana, some ritual magic must also be used through prayer.

Although the priests are mainly attached to the candles, they are after all priests who serve the Nine Pillars God at the same time. In other words, the beliefs, inheritances and rituals of the other eight pillar gods also need to be understood and managed. On the festivals of several other pillar gods, the priests will also change their clothes and perform corresponding ceremonies.

Because of this, the priest was the first profession on the Nine Paths to have in-depth contact with the knowledge of other paths.

And the lecturer of this course, "Ms. Meiya", looks quite young.

She has curly dark brown hair tied into a ponytail that sits in front of one shoulder. She wore the same red bishop's robe as Bishop Mathers, and her pupils were a light blue color as warm as water.

Although she asked her students to call her "Ma'am", she looked like she was in her twenties. Her lively and cheerful temperament is not only very popular with the students, but also looks much smaller.

Even compared to Lily, who has a quiet temperament and always smiles gently like a big sister, Ms. Meia looks younger.

The students also liked this young lecturer who was nominally a lecturer but was more like a senior sister.

But only Ivas knew...... If nothing else, this should be the rejuvenation brought about by the "fire worship method".

She should really be a "lady", who has been married and even had children. It's just that the fire can restore her body to its ideal state, restore the pain and aging she has endured. Let her return to the young body of her girlhood...... And after her body recovered, she also recovered her mental state and personality.

“…… Hey? ”

The first time she saw Lily pushing Ivus into the classroom, Ms. Maya looked at him in a daze.

Seeing this, the blue-haired girl passing by Ivas smiled and explained to him, "This is Ivus, Lady Meia. Did you read the "Glass Steps" the day before yesterday? He was the great detective of the day~

"Mr. Ewass' legs and feet are not very good, so he has to be in a wheelchair. Or...... Can you diagnose him? ”

"That shouldn't be necessary, Angela......"

Lady Meia shook her head, "You can sit in your seat first." ”

- How did he use me to diagnose? If he could really be cured, wouldn't he just use the fire himself?

Maya glanced at Ivus again with some oddity, and politely made a strange gesture to him: Maya stretched out her hand and dotted it on her head and shoulders once, drawing a triangle.

Ewass, on the other hand, smiled gently, folded his hands, crossed his thumbs, and bowed his head and closed his eyes in prayer.

Seeing this, Maya's attitude towards Ivus changed significantly for the better.

This is the etiquette that Bishop Mathers specially taught to him after discovering that Ivas had quickly learned the method of fire ritual and was exposed to the path of consecration.

When the transcendents of the same path are close enough, the superior can sense the aura of the path on the lower person, as well as the approximate intensity. That is to say, all the people in the school who are dedicated, and all the people who are transcendent in the path of dedication can be aware that Aihuas has stepped into the transcendental, and has completed an advanced ritual to reach the second energy level.

This is basically the graduation standard.

And the gesture that Mathers taught to Ivus was the code word used by the clergy of the Church of the Nine Pillars to confirm each other's identities. This is so that Ivas will not be treated differently when he returns to school.

Ms. Maia's gesture means that she serves the church and has a crown at the level of bishop.

She was asking Ivus, who guided you in your path of dedication?

After all, not all pastors come from seminaries.

How many people can graduate from a seminary in a year...... Many township churches have a master-apprentice inheritance system. I teach it hand-in-hand from a very young age, and I automatically join the church after learning it. As long as he is a "bishop", he has the right to preach and teach the sacred skills of those who are qualified to dedicate the path.

And there's another possibility, and there's no one to teach. Self-taught by occult texts alone, he embarks on this path after comprehending the mystical art of the path of dedication. In that case, it is possible that he may not even be a "priest" by profession. And Lady Maya may not be so kind to Ivus.

For this means attaining the extraordinary power of the corresponding path and enjoying the social status of the corresponding path, but not fulfilling obligations or following rules.

- It's like someone who has obtained the mystical skills of the authoritarian path through the tantric books of the authoritarian path, or other types of occult texts. Then the high-ranking inspector may mistake him for his own person, because he senses the breath of authoritarianism in this person. This may lead to "fake surveillance" and "fake pastors".

And there is a more serious problem, that is, the same path can only be stepped into once. As long as he has obtained a transcendent profession from one path, he can only "advance" and there is no turning back - if Ivus has obtained other professions on the path, he will never be able to become a priest. According to the rules of the Church, the "sacred skills" carefully selected by the Church cannot be easily divulged.

If Ivas had been led through the door, he would have understood Lady Maya's code.

The gesture that Ivas responded meant that he was now only a "prayer man" – he had no crown, no priesthood, and no current work for the church, but someone had taught him.

It doesn't matter. Whether she works for the church or not, Maya doesn't care. As long as it's not another career on the same path, that's fine.

Embarrassed by her knee-jerk suspicions, Maya said lovingly, "Just sit next to me, Mr. Ewass." It's not easy to go up the stairs in a wheelchair. ”

"Then it's troublesome."

Ivus whispered, "Lady Maya. ”

While waiting for the other students, Maya sat in her chair and whispered to Ivus, "I heard about your case, and I thought you had stepped into the path of wisdom...... I didn't expect you to be a pastor. And he stepped into the second energy level at a young age......

"I wonder which bishop guided you?"

"It's Bishop Mathers." Ivas replied.

Hearing this, Meiya's eyes suddenly widened and she looked incredulous: "Huh? Mathers? ”

"What's wrong?"

Ivus caught the anomaly in her emotions.

"Samuel Mathers?" She asked rhetorically.

"That's right."

Realizing that Bishop Maya might know Mathers, Ivas asked, "Do you know him?" ”

Meia hissed, her expression becoming a little subtle.

She stole a glance at the students, and saw that they were all quietly watching, keeping a close eye on the podium—they seemed to be used to following the fact that Ivas could eat melons.

So Meiya lowered her voice and covered her mouth with her hand.

"My name is Maya Mathers. He's my brother. ”

…… That's not good.

Ivus's expression also became a little strange.

Although Maya didn't know, Ivas knew it himself—Mathers' teaching him about the sacred craft was actually last Friday. The day after that was the fifteenth, which meant that Ivas advanced immediately after the advance.

This is too shocking!

It's not going to be that good, it's just too high-profile.

Although not many people believe it...... But Ivas still likes to keep a low profile.

But fortunately, Maya gave an answer that relieved Ivus:

But I've been falling out with him for a long time because of his relationship problems. I must have not spoken to him in 10 years. ”

Saying that it was a breakdown, she had apparently become closer to Samuel because he was his apprentice.

What kind of collapse is this? It's better to be angry......

“…… So, why? Ivas was curious.

A little desire for gossip also rose in his heart: "What is the relationship problem with him, Bishop?" ”

"That day Samuel brought back a girl who was eleven years younger than him and said that this was his wife and that they were married."

Meiya frowned: "Samuel was 29 years old at that time, and the girl was only 18 years old. ”

"I remember that Bishop Samuel is an Avalon, right?"

Ivas asked rhetorically, "A girl should be able to get married at the age of 18, right?" ”

"Yes, a man and a woman can get married at the age of eighteen. The question is...... If most people want to get married, they must have talked about too many teenagers' love, right? The girl was only eighteen years old when she got married, so when did Samuel meet her? ”

When Mei Ya said this, she gritted her teeth and slapped the table in anger: "He also said at the time that he had just met her, and it was love at first sight!" Do you think I'll believe it? Should my parents believe it? ”

“…… It's not entirely impossible, is it? ”

Eivus's expression was a little subtle. It seems that there is no concept of "flash marriage" in this era.

But Samuel is a little suspicious......

But soon, Maya's words made Ivus a little serious: "Of course, there is the possibility of love at first sight." But the problem is, then we asked the detectives to look into it - she's not from Avalon.

"She is an iris person, and in the end she is still the path of beauty. At that time, the sixth department of the University of Law had not yet opened, and an iris man did not study at the University of Cité in his own country, but traveled thousands of miles to Avalon to study theology, and then followed the path of beauty. And when I was in the first grade, I married my mentor.

"—do you think that's reasonable? You don't even have to think about it, it's weird to look at everything! ”

“…… It really doesn't make sense. ”

Ivus frowned, and realized that something was wrong: "But Bishop Samuel is not such an impulsive person......"

"That's it! That's what we all say. ”

Meiya whispered, "So we kept telling Samuel to calm down and separate from that girl for a while!" But he didn't listen at all, and eventually he moved out of the house and rented a house on his own. But a few days ago I heard that he was elected to the spiritual councilor, at least I don't have to worry about his life......"

"What's the name of his wife?" Ivus asked.

"Mina. I forgot my last name, she should be Mina Mathers now...... If you do the math, she should be thirty-five years old this year.

She runs a divination shop that sells divination props and divination for others. But she is not a prophet who adapts to the path, so what divination power can she have? It's just a liar...... I really don't know why Samuel likes her so much.

"When you have time, you might as well go to his house. After all, you have a mentor-apprentice relationship, and it's normal to visit your mentor. You just mentioned it suddenly, and I'm kind of wondering how the woman is now......"

Meia clasped her hands together and whispered to Ivus, "Mr. Evas, please help!" I have a collection of tantric books that I like very much, and I can give it to you when the time comes...... Of course, it doesn't matter if you really don't have a chance. If you can try to ask my brother, I'll give you the book-"

As Maya said this, Ivus's pupils suddenly trembled.

Not for the reward.

Rather, because when he heard the name, something suddenly occurred to him.

- The in-game shop is called "Lady Mina's Fortune Shop".

It's a name that Iwass will never forget. He believes that if he is a player, he will not forget.

…… That's one thing to say, and I'll have to take a look if I have the chance.
