Chapter 179: Magic Ceremony (Fourth Watch)
The respect for the Lord of Order and the closeness to Kylelius in Viscount Rick's tone made several people around him look at him slightly, obviously unable to accept such explicit admiration from this arrogant viscount.
They are not naΓ―ve enough to think that a second in line to the throne of a duke would believe in a true god for no reason, and that their faith is in the service of their own interests and political aspirations. And Rick's sudden closeness to the Church of Order obviously hints at the inclination of Rick and even the Duke's family of Luxembourg, and the question of this is worth pondering carefully.
Kylelius was also a little surprised to feel that the attitude of the viscount in front of him towards him was very different from half a year ago.
In retrospect, if there is any time when the viscount made such a change, it is probably in the last few months. If it's more precise, it's after the battle at Earl's Manor half a year ago.
From that day on, he began to visit the church where Kellius was stationed very frequently, and he had become the undisputed most "sincere" believer in the order.
From a false believer who used to come only once a week on Mass, to now come almost once every two or three days, if it weren't for the recent events in Banky Town, he might have come to church every day.
If he hadn't had any intuitive feelings about his recent behavior of coming to church every now and then, today's friendship and the deliberate closeness in his words made Kylelius involuntarily have a trace of doubt in his heart.
During this period, the viscount's attitude changed so much that even the nervous Kyrlius was a little suspicious of his motives for doing so.
Although the strength shown by Kylelius in the battle that was half a year strong made most of the people on the Earl's side change their attitude towards him. But among these people, Viscount Rick has changed the most and the most obviously.
And this change of his made Kylelius feel that there was some other reason or purpose, and he always had some bad premonition in his heart.
However, Keerlius did not continue to dwell on this, but reached out with the same smile, took the Viscount's outstretched palm, shook it gently, and then said: "Of course, His Excellency the Viscount of Luxembourg is a frequent visitor to my place, and it is really a great honor for me as a priest to have such a sincere believer in the church. β
Hearing this, the viscount pretended to be displeased and said: "You are too polite, it would be good if Your Excellency the Bishop can call me Rick, the title of Your Excellency the Viscount is really too foreign." β
"It's mine, no, dear Rick. At the same time, I guess you can also call me Kylelius or just Kyle. Hearing this, Kylelius naturally did not resist this proposal, and said to Rick with the same enthusiasm.
Although he has never understood the communication patterns of the nobles, he still understands that Rick asked him to call him by his first name just now, which can be regarded as a more intimate attitude in the communication of the nobles.
"That's great, Kyleus. As he spoke, he looked at the people around him, and realized that he and the priest had talked too much, so he smiled, let go of the hand holding Kyleus, and said, "We will have time to continue to communicate later, and we will find time to talk in detail later." There are other people here now, so it's not good to keep everyone waiting. β
Speaking of this, he paused, apologized to the few people around him, and then continued to say to Kyleus: "Then, today is your big day Kyle, and I won't delay you too much." Finally, happy newlywed, Your Excellency. β
"Thank you for your blessings, Rick. Kylelius bent slightly, thanking Rick for his wedding wishes. Then he looked at the Count, waiting for him to introduce the remaining important guests.
Seeing that Rick and Kyrlius had finished greeting each other, the Earl continued to introduce the following important guests to Kyleus.
"Kyleus, the rest of you, I think you know them all. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and introduced to Kylelius in order: "This is Viscount John Fisher, the speaker of the town's council. "First of all, the Count was pointing to an old, diminutive elderly nobleman, John Fisher.
"Thank you for coming to my wedding, Lord Fisher. Kelelius followed the Count's finger and saluted the old Viscount. A faint hint of magic encircled the finger in the depths, and the magic that was unrecognizable to the naked eye slowly extended towards Fisher.
It is a kind of etiquette between magicians, similar to the kiss and handshake, etc., and belongs to the understanding of greetings between magicians.
Each of them stretched out a finger containing magic power, pointing at each other from a distance, and the subtle and imperceptible magic power flowed in the straight line formed between the fingertips of the two fingers, and finally touched together, which was considered the completion of the ceremony.
In the past, magicians who adhered to mysticism were reluctant to let other professionals know about their communication even if they just said hello, so they invented such a set of etiquette between magicians.
In the eyes of the magicians, the subtle fluctuations of magic are like fireflies at night, clearly visible. But for most other professions, such fluctuations in magic are completely undetectable.
At the same time, because of the high requirements for the operability of magic power, it can generally only be used by magicians who have reached a certain number of rings, and the current minimum standard is that at least three-ring magicians can use it.
After all, these subtle magic powers have to make them directly into a straight line, and the magicians in the low ring can't do this, either they input too much for others to easily notice, or the magic input is too little, and it doesn't take long for it to dissipate into the air.
After more than half a year of intermittent contact, Keellius knew that although the viscount had not gone far on the road of magic, he still liked to be confronted with him with the same courtesy and communication as he faced a magician.
So Kellius did not greet Rick with aristocratic etiquette as he had just done with Rick, but instead used the way and etiquette of communication between magicians.
Sure enough, an ugly smile appeared on the viscount's old face, and he also stretched out a finger and threw it at Kyleus, or rather, at the outstretched finger of Kyleus, and a faint fluctuation of magic power came from the finger.
Except for the two of them at the time, almost no one noticed it, and the two subtle magic powers came into contact with each other, and then disappeared into the atmosphere as if nothing had happened.
"It's so gracious, your daughter, the daughter of the Earl, and the priest, how can you not be there. The old viscount trembled and withdrew his thin fingers, and said with a smile. However, the smile on his face, no matter how he looked, made Kylelius feel a little uncomfortable.
