Path of light

"But I have already registered at the Elf Academy. I am going to go to the Elf Academy next week, so I may not have time to come here."

Roy said tactfully.

Then he prepared to say goodbye and leave.

Now he is hesitating whether to pay Priest Reed a hundred kolers or compensate him with a donation?

Priest Reed could see that Roy was not very interested in what he said, so he thought for a while before saying:

"After becoming a trainee priest, you will have two and a half days a week to read here, but you cannot take the books out of the study room."

After saying that, he stood up, walked to the door and waved to Roy.

Waiting for Roy to catch up, the two of them left the confessional. Priest Reed took Roy to the room closest to the main hall in the corridor on the second floor. After entering the room, he was greeted by a strong smell of mold. The room is filled with bookshelves, and there is a wooden ladder at the door for easy access to books.

Some of these books are prayer books, some are about the history of the Temple of Liberty, some guides to magical spells, and so on.

Although it is of little use to outsiders, it is very precious to the priests.

Since Roy had not yet joined the Temple of Liberty, he could only stand at the door and look inside to confirm that what Priest Reed said was true.

But Roy is still not interested in this...

During this time, the goddess had not sent down an oracle.

Not only did the believers chant prayers, but the Statue of Liberty did not respond. Even the enlightenment ceremony held here in the temple failed to allow believers to perceive the holy light.

After two manpower redeployments in the past six months, the Temple of Liberty currently only has five people including the trainee priests. Just the night before yesterday, the Holy Grail in front of the temple's holy pool was stolen. If it weren't for the shortage of manpower , and such embarrassing things will not happen.

Priest Reed felt that the Temple of Liberty urgently needed to increase its personnel, and the young man in front of him was the best choice.

After finally meeting him, there was no way he would let Roy slip away easily.

Roy was not moved, which meant that the conditions offered were not enough, so Priest Reed continued:

“There are only two prayers a week that you are required to attend.”

"In the other three and a half days, you can learn magic from me..."

Roy found that the seven days a week were actually fully scheduled, and he had to go to school, so he had no time to do other things...

The two of them stood in the corridor on the second floor. Roy looked at the stairs at the corner, thinking about how to say goodbye.

"...If you become a trainee priest, you can also receive a subsidy of four hundred kolers every week." Priest Reed continued.

Roy swallowed the excuse he had prepared immediately.

He raised his head, looked at Priest Reed with an expectant look on his face, and readily agreed:

"Well, I think I'm very suitable for this job... oh... very suitable to be a trainee priest!"

Priest Reed did not expect that Roy would change his mind so quickly. Seeing that he readily agreed, he said very happily:

"So... Roy, welcome to join the Temple of Liberty."

…

Roy originally thought that joining the Temple of Liberty would involve some rituals or something.

Unexpectedly, his name was just added to the list of clergy in the temple, and there was also the word "trainee" in front of the priest.

Then Priest Reed took Roy to visit other buildings in the temple. Because the theft case had not been closed and the elf patrol required the temple to keep all the items and furnishings in the main hall as they were, Priest Reed did not take Roy inside. Main hall.

Priest Reed is the high priest of the Temple of Liberty in Castletown. The other two priests are all deputy priests. The two trainee priests are also students of these two deputy priests. However, there are no students around High Priest Reed.

Now that I have finally found a student, of course I want to introduce Roy to others.

"This temple was built by His Majesty Felix Mitchell, who happens to be the seventeenth in my term." High Priest Reed introduced to Roy.

The two walked to the steps of the main hall. High Priest Reed pointed to the stone sculpture holding a two-handed staff and introduced to Roy: "This statue is based on His Majesty Felix Mitchell. Creative."

At this time, the priest Roy had seen in front of the steps of the main hall came out from the side.

High Priest Reed quickly said to him: "This is Priest Theodore. He is usually responsible for distributing blessed water from the holy pool here."

No wonder he squatted at the door of the main hall to guard the door. It turned out to be because the Holy Grail in the holy pool area he was responsible for was lost. Roy quickly saluted the unlucky Priest Theodore, and at the same time considered whether to reveal the information he knew to him. .

If I had known that I would join the temple today, I should have asked the elf patrol to arrest the thief yesterday.

Roy felt a little regretful.

Priest Theodore showed a kind smile and welcomed Roy.

Then High Priest Reed took Roy to meet Priest Anderson, as well as two trainee priests, Jasper and Abbot, who were doing chores in the backyard.

Father Andyson is mainly responsible for the twice-weekly gatherings in the temple, preaching the doctrines of the Statue of Liberty to the believers and promoting the glorious deeds of the Statue of Liberty.

He and Priest Theodore are both elves, and their faces are much more handsome than Priest Reed.

The other two trainee priests, Jasper and Abt, are also elves, but they are both mixed-blood elves. Roy can see some differences from the Silver Moon elves from their eyes and ears.

Perhaps because of the elves, when choosing a mentor, they did not choose Priest Reed.

The two trainee priests wore white robes with only some dark red patterns on the collar, cuffs and belt, and no hats on their heads.

After such a long time, a new person finally joined, and the two young elves were very happy...

Then Priest Reed gave Roy a set of trainee priest's robes, belts, boots, and even arranged a small room for him with just a bed and a wardrobe.

Although Roy is a trainee priest in the temple, he does not need to live in the temple because he still attends the Elf Academy. He only needs to come to the temple every afternoon and leave before dinner.

This is already very relaxed for a trainee priest...

Roy feels that this job not only allows him to learn, but also provides a stable salary and is very close to home. It is really good...

Roy casually familiarized himself with the environment in the temple and saw that it was getting late, so he put the trainee priest's robes and boots in the closet. Before leaving, he specially said goodbye to Priest Reed before wearing them. Walk home on Brown Street.
