The next day, Xike took a car to the royal capital, and went to the university at noon to wait for Shuilonu to get out of class. Schuilonu studied the kind of university that most people refer to when they refer to "university", that is, "a university that is not a university of non-teachers, nor does it have a department of magic."

The school building of the new building is clean and solemn. Xi Ke walked on the flat synthetic bricks and enjoyed the cool evening breeze. In the hearty laughter, mixed with the sound of club practice music from somewhere. Youthful event posters are posted on roadside bulletin boards.

Xi Ke saw a pure science made electric car slowly driving by, and the blue and white plastic shell design was very technological. He admired the manicured road trees and the manicured lawn. I also saw a field with a related department, and it was full of flowers cultivated by students. Birds fly under the blue sky. Very calm and peaceful

He waited outside the classroom, but Schuilonu spotted him while he was still in class, and immediately ran out of the classroom to catch him. Shuilonu grabbed Rick's arm up and down with both palms, and felt a little pinched. Rick thought it was funny.

Schuilonu pouted slightly, and seriously pinched the flesh of Xike's arm: "It's fleshy again." 」

"Standard weight. Rick feigned seriousness.

"Really?" Shuilonu laughed.

"I've done the math according to the formula in the newspaper, and I can't be wrong. 」

The two held hands and slowly walked to the school gate, chatting as they walked.

They go to eat the average person's baking restaurant. That is, there will be no demons in the store, and the flowers on the table are just flowers, and they will not smoke or bite people. You won't see the boss grabbing a fire-breathing creature to light charcoal.

During the meal, Rick and Shuilonu mentioned his business.

"With my abilities, I have three options, sell magic weapons, magic beasts, or potions. "I don't think magic weapons are for me. That thing was replaced so quickly, and it was only half a year before it was renewed. I'm really not good at selling this kind of thing. And anyone in the magic weapon industry must be able to predict trends, which is not what I'm good at. Warcraft, I don't really like this industry. I guess I'm still good at selling potions. 」

"The potions are good. Schulonu said, "It's a very old trade. It's as old as Altero. Unlike commercial monsters and commercial magic weapons that need to catch up with the trend, as long as there are humans and diseases in this world, there is a need for potions masters.

"I was thinking that I should open a shop, and if I had money, I would have the salary of a running boat. I tried to run a market to set up a stall before, and I thought I would need to build a brand. I can't think of a name for it, though. 」

"I need a mascot too. 」

"Seems to be. Rick looked at the sign outside the store, and at the sign of the shop on the street, everyone had a mascot these days.

"But I don't know how to draw. 」

"What kind of mascot do you want?" Shuilonu asked.

"I don't know what to do, the Minotaur Demon or something?" That thing looked the most like a mascot that Rick had ever seen.

"You can find a portrait painter to paint you in a signature pattern. Shuilonu laughed. Shops selling traditional food are also popular. Think of the founder as a mascot.

Rick frowned and said, "Don't. I don't like to be hung in a big and conspicuous place. 」

"Why don't you replace it with an animal? Your mascot must be related to the moon." 」

"For what?"

"It's about it. Shuilonu played with the hair on Rick's forehead with one finger and held his cheek with the other, smiling at Cheek.

"The moon—there's a white stripe on a bear's neck that looks like the moon. 」

"Since there is a moon, let's draw the fur into a starry sky. As he spoke, Shuilonu took out his pen and drew the first prototype on a tissue.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

When Shuilonu returned to class, Syk went to meet up with the other three.

Ampat landed on the sidewalk with two men on his shoulders, attracting a lot of interested eyes.

"The ceremony is tomorrow, you can go shopping today. I'd like to visit a few potion shops. Rick said.

The royal capital is a super-old, traditional potion shop that has been passed down from generation to generation, and Xi Ke feels that he must make a pilgrimage.

"I'm going to visit the monuments. Kami said. He had a map in his hand with a large number of markings, apparently doing his homework.

"I'm fine. Girouma said. His face turned blue. Syk felt that he must have failed to dissect the mandala yesterday and was hit hard by the screams.

Syk said to Giruma, "Go to the inn and rest. Reserve stamina. Wake up early tomorrow. 」

"Then I'll take care of Girouma. Ampat said.

Although he felt that Giluma did not need to be taken care of, Syk had no intention of stopping Ampat.

So Xi Ke made his way to the old magic shop alone.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

He found one of the shops on the list. When I looked up at the front of the store, I saw a gourd hanging from it.

In ancient times, there was a potions master who always hung a gourd when he sold medicine. Later, the potions master of Aethero imitated him and also hung a gourd, indicating that the spirit of hanging pots to help the world was passed on from generation to generation.

You can smell the herbs when you stand outside the store. Potions used in traditional medicine are divided into many categories, and so are scents, woven into a profound pattern of scents that are imprinted in the soul of every Ataro. They have recognized the taste for thousands of years.

From the moment he walked into the store, he began to count the herbs, from the smells, the potions on the shelves, and the small lattice drawer behind the counter, which could be said to be the signature decoration of the potion shop. This cool feeling is the kernel root grass, which has only been lightly sun-damped...... The gall of the swamp mud snake is not available in the market, and it can only be bought if it has a relationship with the hunter...... The boss ignored him, but when he finished shopping through a row of cabinets, the boss asked aloud, "Are you a potions master?"

Frightened, his neck shrunk, and before he could call himself a potions master, he had to say, "I want to open a potion shop. 」

"Ah, so young. The boss was a middle-aged man, and his voice was hearty and full of energy: "Have you studied with any teacher?"

"My master is a dragon, and he has a potion to teach me dragons. Rick walked from behind the cabinet to the counter. This man looked at him very specially. Rick had never seen such a person before. The man looked at Rick with no hostility or curiosity. This man seems to have seen through a certain trait in Rick, but he doesn't intend to use it, and he doesn't even want to evaluate Rick. The smiling face showed kindness to Xi Ke, and the raised eyebrows seemed to want to see Xi Ke more clearly.

The boss took out a piece of kernel root grass and put it directly in his mouth to chew. Rick was taken aback. It's very bitter, and it's usually drunk in soup with sugar. He thought that no one but him would put this thing in his mouth and chew it. So he also began to look back with the way the man looked at him.

It's good to run into the same.

Xi Ke had never been so talkative in his life, and they talked for more than two hours. The conversation was full of everything that only a potions master could understand. From the application of different water purification methods in special locations, to the cultivation planning of rare materials, the reproduction of lost formulas, and the combination of therapies with stackers...... Xi Ke only felt that the more he talked, the more energetic he became, and he didn't feel tired at all.

As he leaves, the boss gives him a journal of the Potions Society of Ethero, which contains an application for membership. Seal filled it out, found the post office and sent the application out. It was the first society he attended.

After that, Rick visited several old magic shops, and similar situations happened several times.

When he returned to the inn, he was so refreshed that he looked radiant, which startled Ampat.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The next day they got up early in the morning to prepare. The festival of Evangel is also known as the "Stargazing Festival". Most of the participants are members of the Rooftop Lift-off Association, and it's fitting that many indoor stargazers will gather at this ceremony.

The ancients said, "Sacrifice is like there." The sacrifice should be as if the object of the sacrifice were present. Attending the ceremony of worshipping Evangelsal is like going to see Evangelsal himself. Everyone cleaned themselves up and put on their formal robes.

Rick was a little nervous. He was worried about whether he would behave inappropriately at the ceremony. But he knew that participation in the ceremony of worshipping Evangel was not as strict as it used to be. Generally, mages only need to stand obediently and occasionally listen to the password and make movements until the end. It's unlikely that he'll do anything to sabotage the canon. But he was still nervous, for what was he doing? He thought about it for a while and finally came to a conclusion: because he thought it was like going to see Evan Sal himself.

He respected Evan Sal, so he didn't want to be rude at his ceremony.

With Ampat's help, Gilluma smoothed out the layers of her clothes. Kaisi also donned the traditional robe of the local Ataro, and he looked very happy, and he had been studying the patterns on it.

The robes that Ampat had prepared for the three of them were quite valuable. Each layer is embroidered with auspicious animal and plant patterns. The fabric glowed in the glimmer of light from the window. The one worn by Xi Ke is blue-black with indigo silk thread embroidered on the top, and the gold edge is embroidered with white thread to create a moire.

He walked over to the mirror and looked at it, and suddenly he had the feeling that it was not Sarafaydo one hundred and twenty-nine years ago, but Evansar's time. These clothing styles have been passed down from that time to the present day.

There are many more important intangible things, which have also been passed down to the present day.

They went downstairs. Ampat regained his dragon form, and first carried Kaisi and Giruma over, while Xike stood at the door of the hotel for the time being. He slipped his staff into the staff pouch at his waist. At a glance, others knew that he was a mage who was preparing to participate in the ceremony.

At this moment, a very kind-looking woman came up to him and stuffed a leaflet into him. Nick glanced at it, and the leaflet read "Evan Sal is a false god!"

Rick's brow furrowed. Evensal was sacrificing as a grandfather, and if he wasn't a god, that would be true by some definitions, the way this leaflet was written gave him a very bad feeling. These people definitely don't just want to stop students from praying to Evansar for good grades.

Cheek looked down and it read "Danissa is the only true God!" and he shoved the leaflet back to the man, "No. 」

The man had a smug smile on his face that he must have been looking forward to what she had to say, and would definitely agree with her. Syk vanished from his eyes for a moment, becoming just an accessory to foil her. She said to Rick, "I know where your strength comes from, and that is the power of the devil. 」

"No, it's not. We are harnessing the power of nature. Rick frowned. All spell energy originally existed in this worldly realm, and mages are the ones who can use it.

"You should abandon the false god Evansar. Return to the bosom of the true god Danissa. 」

He didn't bother to discuss the first sentence with her, and said directly to the second, "I never went back in his arms. 」

"Do you know that He created Yourself?"

There's another guy who also says that he created it, and that guy is called the Night King.

Cheek turned away from her, just as Ampat returned. As he watched the woman draw an exorcism symbol at Ampat, he felt the urge to cast some curses on her, but they were in a hurry, so he didn't fix her.

The man was still handing out leaflets to passers-by, and Nick saw from heaven that she had a large group of companions who were all wearing the same vests.

Near the temple of Evensal, Syk descended from the dragon's back, Ampat took on human form, and the four of them rendezvous. Many volunteers are guiding the participants.

Kaisi was so popular that a bunch of people wanted to take a picture with the foreigner in the traditional costume of the Ethero. It took a moment to pull him out.

They first took a brief at the long table next to the gate, and then registered to get the mark of the staff of light placed on the back of their hands, and were allowed to enter. It wasn't so troublesome before. In the past, to participate in this ceremony, it was good to walk directly to the queue. He heard another teacher who brought his students say, "A few years ago, there were believers of the True God who deliberately sang the hymns of Danesa in a loud voice during the solemn ceremony. After that, you will need to check your identity. 」

The student was surprised: "Won't Shinfu stop them?" Shinfu is the name of the clergy of the True God Church, and their religious groups and places are called churches.

The teacher said, "The Staff of Light protested to the church, and as a result, those people were praised by other believers of the True God for having the courage to challenge the devil. A bunch of people in the church volunteered to imitate him in the coming year, and Shinfu said that it was a revelation from the true God that could not be stopped. I had to go in and out of control in the future. 」

The men began to talk, "There were believers of the True God who refused to salute the flag, saying that they only worshiped Danissa. That's what Shinsuke said at the time. "The Buddha's birthday parade of the Buddha Juejiao has also been there. "They mobilized believers to interfere with the erection of idols everywhere. 」

Rick found that there were guards on both sides of the road, presumably also to stop the believers of the true god. That's why those guys ran to the door of the hotel where the foreign mage might be staying, blocking those who were going to attend the ceremony.

This behavior made Xike feel very uncomfortable. They have a lot of disrespect for other people. Not respecting other people to such an extent means that they do not want to live peacefully with others. They also want to use peace to keep themselves alive, but they don't want to give others the opportunity to exist.

"Enter. Ampai Tlalacek's sleeve. If you're late here, you won't be able to enter.
