Becoming a God by Raising a Witch

Locke said honestly.

"Oh, okay, I've heard what Lao Lani said. He said he wants you to make a [boiled lamb on ice] dish for the queen, but unfortunately the queen doesn't like mutton."

Rhaenys had a faint smile on her face, "So, I can arrange for you to meet with the chef in charge of the Queen's catering. If you can satisfy him, he will recommend you."

Rhaenys emphasized the word recommendation, and Locke remembered that she had said before that she didn't like sharing with others, and suddenly understood what she meant.

The implication is that if you are not satisfied with staying here with me, you just want to find another job, right?

"Director, this is actually what Lao Lani means. He thinks [ice-boiled sheep] is very suitable for the northern border and hopes to promote it to the northern border. It has no direct relationship with Her Majesty the Queen. I don't want to enter the palace and become a palace cook. "Compared with the palace, I still prefer the strange bureau and the free atmosphere. In addition, my training schedule is already full recently and I don't have time to meet Her Majesty the Queen's cook."

Locke immediately expressed his determination and would stay at the Abnormal Bureau without any intention of using Rhaenys as a springboard.

Rhaenys stroked the long cigarette rod and nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Locke's answer.

"Go ahead and remember to get your salary from Feleiya. If you want to change your house, you can ask Sigurd. His relatives have many vacant properties in Wells. With your relationship, he is embarrassed to ask you for more money." Expensive rent.”

"Okay, thank you, Director."

Locke thanked Rhaenys and left her office.

It turned out that Rhaenys had been paying attention to him, and even knew that he was looking for a house.

Kosolk's weekly salary is usually paid on the first day after a week, which means that you can get your first salary on the eighth day of work. There is no salary pressure.

Locke felt a little excited and decided to collect his salary, go find Sickert, and take Boyd's test in the afternoon.

Boyd seemed to have something to do in the morning and was probably still worried about the content of the test. He was a good teacher. Except for crying and killing people, everything satisfied Locke.

Locke came to the door of Mrs. Feleia's office on the first floor, and his colleagues Sigurd and Robson were also there.

Sigurd's skin has returned to normal, and his appearance has returned to its previous state. He is not a handsome guy in the traditional sense, but a handsome man with good looks and temperament. If he had to compare, Locke thinks he looks like Ian Somerhaler. Virtue.

Robson is the kind of handsome boy who makes people shine. Standing together, the two of them feel like an older brother leading a younger brother.

Locke was surprised;

"Sigur, don't you have a bank account either?"

"No, I have a bank account, but it was frozen by my father a long time ago. His relationship with me is like the frozen lake of the Kosol River in winter. We are incompatible. Now I can only receive cash, and I like The smell of cash.”

Sigurd smiled and spread his hands.

"If you didn't mess up the marriage between old Bruce and Elaine, why would he freeze your bank account? Sigurd, sometimes I suspect that your moral bottom line is only as high as a flush toilet."

Mrs. Freya handed Sigurd a stack of counted micks.

Sigurd took Mick and nodded, frowning,

"Damn it, I, the hero who saved Kosolk, am still being taxed!"

"Stop complaining and repair your relationship with old Bruce quickly. Isn't the money you get every month more than your salary?"

Dimo smiled and walked into Mrs. Freya's office and stood next to Locke.

Angela also slowly walked in the door,

"The premise is that old Bruce's fiancée has not become pregnant by him. Oh, poor Elaine, why did she meet little Bruce a month before marrying old Bruce."

After Angela finished speaking, everyone except the central figure of the topic, Sigurd Bruce, laughed unkindly.

The two newcomers, Locke and Robson, once again deepened their understanding of Sickert.

This playboy really likes his wife, even his old father's new wife.

Well, this is a bit informative.

In the past few days, Locke has learned a lot of gossip about the Abnormal Bureau with his [sharp hearing].

For example, Sigurd was born to Bruce Sr.’s first wife. Bruce Sr. married three wives. Sigurd also had two half-sisters and a younger brother. When Bruce Sr. planned to marry his fourth wife, his fiancée suddenly She refused to marry him and claimed that she was pregnant with Bruce Jr.'s child and wanted to recognize Bruce Sr. as her father.

In anger, Bruce Sr. broke off his marriage to his fiancée Elaine and froze his son Bruce Jr.'s bank account.

From then on, playboy Bruce had to fend for himself.

After Elaine discovered the fact that Bruce would not marry her, she decided to throw herself into the arms of the Cathedral of Life, become a nun for the rest of her life, and promised to give birth to a child to make Sigurd Bruce regret it.

The Cathedral of Life occasionally accepts women like Elaine who were abandoned after pregnancy, and they belong to a different kind of nuns.

For example, Angela was not the child of Di Mo's friend, but an orphan that Di Mo picked up from a trash can in a cold winter. It is said that the child's face was frozen and there were insects on her body. climb.

Di Mo has lived the life of an unmarried dad ever since, and lied to Angela that she once had parents who loved her, but they died in the Kingdom War. Her father was his best friend.

For example, Buster appears to be a serious and serious priest, but in fact he has a young mistress and an illegitimate daughter who is less than 8 years old. He prefers his mistress to his family.

For example, Robson grew up in an orphanage in York when he was a child. He was recruited into the Abnormalities Bureau in York because he was involved in a strange incident and survived.

For example, Daye Werner, a temporary worker captain, once brutally murdered a family of fifteen members because the family abused a three-year-old girl. Now the girl became his adopted daughter. Because they were both daughter-in-law, he and Di Mo's relationship is very good.

For example, never call Boyd when gambling, because he will lose every time he gambles, and he will also lose with others.

Locke discovered that the ability of [acute hearing] is really an excellent skill for gathering information. Although the authenticity needs to be verified, after all, it is all hearsay.

But one thing is certain, that is, Mrs. Feleia and the director's pipe demon are good friends, and their favorite thing to do is to discuss the gossip in the bureau.

Mrs. Feleia always called the demon Rebecca. When she got along with Mrs. Feleia, she seemed to be a little girl.

Locke heard most of this news from Mrs. Freya and Rebecca.

Normal men rarely chat about gossip. They mostly talk about which pub has the most beautiful girls.

"Oh, Goddess, please punish these twisted faces who take other people's pain as a joke. Let them be taxed ten times as much as I am."

Sigur said in a joking tone that he didn't mind others making fun of him, after all, he was such a slovenly person.

"That means my income is ten times yours, thank you for your blessing."

Di Mo said while holding the wine bottle.

"Even if it's 10 times his money, the owner of the tavern will eventually accept it in full."

Angela curled her lips and said, she was not wearing a uniform today, she was wearing a special white long skirt.

Angela likes to buy various styles of dresses. The first thing she does after getting her salary is to buy a new dress.

And she likes to spend money in advance, putting on new dresses before her paycheck is paid.

Paying after you get the money is similar to shopping on credit.

Blue butterflies surrounded her, making her look more like a little princess in a fairy tale.

The father and daughter also do not have bank accounts and belong to the moonlight tribe.

"Locke, this is your salary. Count it and see if there is any problem."

Locke received a weekly salary of 5.04 silver grams, which was exactly what he expected. He decided to use the 40 silver grams for the return trip.

Today I can take Hannah and Erin to a clothing store when I go back. They also need new dresses.

Oh no, forget it Erin, what dress does a cat need to wear, mainly sister Hannah.

After everyone received their salary, Mrs. Freya kicked out of the office. She still had some reimbursement forms to process.

"Sigur, I want to move. Do you know where the rent for houses in Wells is cheaper?"

Locke told Sigurd that he was moving.

"Of course, you have asked the right person. My uncle has some vacant properties. I will help you check it out later. By the way, what do you want?"

Sigurd asked.

Locke told Irene's request, and Sigurd nodded slightly, "Yes, you are a classy gentleman."

"I think Locke is mysophobic."

Angela said.

Locke had no excuse for this. His nose was very sensitive now, and he would try to stay as far away from the drunkard Dimo ​​as possible, and stay close to Sickert, who was always smelling of various women's perfumes.

Angela also smells very good, a sweet honey smell.

This is probably the effect of her weirdness.

"Are you going to take Boyd's test this afternoon?"

Sigurd put his hand on Locke's shoulder.

Locke nodded, "Yes, is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

"Well, the only thing you have to be careful of is not making him cry."

"He's a notorious crybaby," Sigurd said with a smile.

"Don't say that about Boyd. He's just a little sentimental. He never cries when I get along with him."

Angela spoke up for Boyd, whom she liked and who always complimented her on her beautiful dresses.

Di Mo did not like Boyd, Di Mo hated his depressed face.

In the afternoon, Locke left the kitchen and went to the library.

Boyd was already waiting inside.

The test was originally scheduled for the weekend, but because Boyd happened to be out on business over the weekend, it was pushed to Monday.

As for why the library was chosen, it was probably because even if the objects were damaged during the fight here, they would be restored to their original state by Miss Ghost.

Boyd actually preferred to spend most of his time in the library, because crying anywhere else would kill the average person.

"You came."

Boyd held a photo album in his hand and said without looking up.

On the table in front of him squatted quietly a rabbit with an injured ear, and baskets containing laurel, savory mint, cedar and other materials.

"Well, Boyd, I'm ready."

Locke said.

Boyd put the photo album on the table, stood up, and walked to Locke.

"The test is divided into two parts, the ceremony and the actual combat."

Locke breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not tested on dragon language grammar.

"Fundamentals of Occultism" contains many rituals, and Locke only learned the most basic prayer rituals.

"This rabbit's left ear was injured by a naughty child. Now I need you to pray to the goddess to heal its wound. I will choose the materials here."

Boyd said, pointing to the basket on the table.

Locke nodded, found four-leaf clover, allspice, virgin lily and other healing herbs from the basket, put them into a silver cup, and added pure dew.

He found three more candles from the basket and placed them in front of the cup.

Put the rabbit in front of you.

Use green dust to draw a circle on the ground and surround the silver cup, candle and rabbit.

This dust is ground from the leaves of the Tree of Life and has a light fragrance.

After making these preparations, Locke took out a green leaf and began to pray in dragon language.

"Great mother of all living beings,

mother earth,

the creator of life,

The founder of chaos and order,

I beg you to have mercy on this poor rabbit and let his ears be healed,

Thank you for your kindness,

Praising you for your generosity. "

Locke had practiced this prayer many times, so he didn't stumble, but some of the pronunciation was still a bit substandard.

After Locke finished his prayer, three candles burned one after another.

In the faint green light, a healing power came to the rabbit.

But the wound on the rabbit's ear was not healed, it just became a little more energetic.

It worked, but not completely.

Generally speaking, when a candle is lit, it means that the goddess responds to the believer.
