God's family

Chapter 54 The Temple and the Priest

The next day, when Roger voluntarily stepped into the temple, he had already put on a pure mask.Still with a childish face, anxious and excited expression, snow-white soft hair, and pure ruby ​​eyes, he looks like a naive child, so Archbishop Lawrence smiled very kindly when he saw Roger .

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. The meeting between Roger and Bishop Lawrence was very smooth. Bishop Lawrence fully expressed his expectations for Roger's talent, while Roger expressed his endless belief in human gods, and The bracelet on the wrist representing the identity of the "god's favored one" has also become a witness to win people's trust.As expected by Roger, the archbishop who serves the gods on behalf of humans obviously knows the meaning of the favored person and the bracelet, and even he himself is one of the favored persons—after all, if the bishop cannot become a favored person , what qualifications do you have to command the entire temple?

After fully expressing his confusion, ignorance and fanatical beliefs, Roger had already transformed into a junior priest when he left the temple, changed into a sacrificial robe, took the staff of light, and even booked the next teacher It is used to learn the light spells that are exclusive to priests-mainly various healing spells, buffs, debuffs, plus a few offensive spells that priests use to protect themselves.

To be honest, this is the first time that Roger has learned a certain type of spells in such a systematic way. Even though he already has a bracelet whose learning ability is comparable to heaven, it still benefits him a lot.

After spending a day in the temple, in addition to learning priest spells, Roger also took a serious look at the class of priests.Roger believes that priests, especially those who have received priestly education in the temple since childhood, are somewhat self-contradictory.Most of them have been bound in the temple for a long time, some are pure and some are naive, they are self-disciplined because of their belief in the gods, and they yearn to spread their own glory to the world, but their high social status makes them think highly of themselves, and they faintly look down on others The mediocre beings in the world.

Generally speaking, if you exclude those old foxes who are in high positions and have a more vicious political vision, the younger generation of priests are still easy to manipulate. Of course, the premise is that you have a high enough status and enough respect.

Roger rubbed his chin, and made up his mind to perform well, first confirm the title of "God's Favored One", and then plan to go further.

——Even if the talent is amazing, as a divinely favored person, and the archbishop personally invites him, he still has to start from the grassroots level to become a priest in the temple. I really can't afford it...

Following the priest introduced by Leon to help him integrate into the temple, Roger was busy in the temple for a long time before leaving exhausted.Not only physically exhausted, but also mentally unable to adapt-God knows how long it has been since he was so warm and friendly to please others!And he really has nothing in common with a group of religious fanatics, and he is so tired of complaining...

Dragging his lazy body into the palace through the side door, he walked to his room according to his memory, but halfway he was hijacked by Leon into a corner, motioning him to keep silent.

Contemptuous of his non-knight peeping, and getting Leon's nonchalant look, Roger then turned his attention to the direction Leon indicated, and was surprised to find that Lyon was actually chatting with a brown-haired middle-aged man!For a guy who just doesn't care about the people around him, this is unprecedented.

Roger took out the staff Jeffrey from the space necklace, used a low-level non-attribute isolation barrier that most traveling mages need to learn, covered most of his and Leon's voices, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Is this who?"

"Prince Yalar, the younger brother of His Majesty the King." Leon introduced.

"Can you hear what they are talking about?" Roger said that his five senses were not very sharp, and Leon was afraid of being discovered by Prince Yalar and hid far away, so he could only hear a little sound, not at all. Ways to connect sentences.

"Maybe I can hear some." Leon's expression was a little serious, but it wasn't too bad, he just didn't want to say too much, so Roger could only suppress his worries, and planned to ask Laicant himself later.

The conversation between Prince Yalar and Laycent was not too long. Probably, there is no one in this world who can talk to himself for too long except chatter.The stern-faced and introverted Prince Alar is obviously not a chatterbox. Nine times out of ten, he stopped Laisant because of the necessary exchange of benefits. However, the indifferent Lacente seemed unmoved, which naturally made the other party lose his mind. The interest to continue the conversation is not speculative.

Prince Alar left quickly, and Roger didn't see any clues from his expression, neither happy nor angry, but Leon didn't go directly to Lycente, but pushed Roger to signal After he stepped forward, he turned around and left, his thoughtful appearance must have listened to what Prince Yalar said just now.

Roger didn't ask Leon what he was going to do. He waved his staff to cancel the barrier and walked towards Laicant, but found that Laicant was not surprised by his appearance. Instead, he kept standing still and looking in his direction, as if he was waiting He is like that.

"What did that Prince Alar say to you just now?" Roger asked straight to the point, without bothering to go around in circles.Anyway, he was probably used to all kinds of wonders of Nexant, and it was not unusual to find his whereabouts from a long distance away.

"He said that Raphael has always been growing his own strength and has a desire for the throne, and he is willing to help me and maintain my orthodox position as the first heir." Laycent's answer was still lacking in interest, and immediately after speaking complained, "Why didn't you call me when you went out today?"

"...I'm going to the temple!" Roger tugged at his priest's robe, "How do you feel?"

Lacent looked at Roger very kindly, "It's pretty good, it's up to you whether you want to be a mage or a priest."

Roger turned his head silently. He knew that this guy, Lacente, would never see the meaning behind this priestly robe. It was really a waste of him and Leon to escort him diligently.

Although he was a little displeased with Nexant's obtuse attitude, Roger didn't bother to explain it to him—or he didn't have the confidence that Nexant would pay attention to this aspect at all, so he brought the topic back to the original point, "Then what? How did you answer Prince Alar?"

"I said...'Oh, I see'." Laycent blinked his eyes, and Roger seemed to see a hint of cunning in it, but when he looked closely, he was still dazed.

Roger took a deep breath, raised his hand to caress his forehead, and resisted the urge to shake his collar.Even if he had never been in contact with Prince Alar, he didn't know his personality traits, but Roger had no doubt that he could fully understand the depression on the poor prince's face when he almost spat out blood.

"Then... What else does His Royal Highness say? You won't just leave like this?" After enduring and enduring, Roger finally maintained his steady tone.

"He said something more, but I don't remember it very clearly, because you came at that time, and I kept thinking about when you would come to see me." Laycent replied casually, and became a little aggrieved in an instant, " We haven't seen each other for a long time, yesterday I was left behind by my father and queen mother, you have been with Leon, and this morning you disappeared without saying hello, I think I need to ask for some compensation for being neglected."

It is unbearable to keep trying to talk about business but being abducted to some strange places by the other party. Roger raised his hand and pressed Lycent's shoulder, watching him understand and kindly bend over and lower his head. , unceremoniously messed up his black hair, "Who the hell is the person who sneaked over to climb the bed last night?!"

"But I was driven away by you in the end." Laycent argued with reason.

"Shut up!" Roger yelled angrily, so Lacent finally shut up obediently.

Although the current place is relatively quiet, there are still some attendants and maids who come and go. When he found that they were looking at him and Lacente with unimaginable and horrifying eyes, Roger finally covered his face with one hand. With one hand, he dragged Lacente quickly towards his room.After all, family ugliness should not be publicized. As the crown prince and future king, it is better not to expose Laisant's stupid appearance too much to the eyes of the world.

Along the way, the unrepentant Roger tried again and again to extract detailed information about Prince Alar from Lacente, but Lacente always dragged the topic away by acting like a baby.So, when Roger returned to the room, he simply gave him a closed door to express his dissatisfaction.

Since he has already lived in the palace, Roger has to endure the harassment and entanglement of Laycente day and night, but Leon, who has been inseparable from Laycente all the time, has disappeared. Occasionally, he has been seen a few times, and he seems to be in a hurry, as if he is in a hurry. What are you busy with?

Roger went to the temple to report every day, with a diligent attitude, which can be called the two points and one line of "the palace-the temple". At first, Lycent often followed him to visit the temple, but after a few days, he had to complain Letting Roger regain his freedom, he expressed that he hated places like the temple for some reason. It was said that there was an aura there that made him feel uncomfortable no matter what.

Roger couldn't help but think of the anomaly that happened to Jeffrey the staff. Lacente probably didn't react too strongly because he lost his memory, but obviously, like Jeffrey, he has an inability to understand "human gods". Neglect of repulsion.

Roger felt that he probably guessed what had happened...

On the surface, the conflict between the Sea Clan and the Human Clan was resolved smoothly. Although the king was weak, he was not confused. He naturally knew what would happen if he didn't handle it properly.He sincerely apologized and gave the Hai Clan generous compensation. At the same time, he also stated that he would thoroughly investigate the forces behind Angus, the chief culprit of the Hai Clan's civil strife, and give the Hai Clan an explanation.Of course, Roger felt that the last point was just talk. Standing behind the "God's Favored One" was not only a temple, but also a human god.The king can't even shake the temple, and naturally he can't do anything to the god who protects his own race - he can't even complain or be disrespectful.

However, if the gods are not involved, this may be a good opportunity to attack the temple. It just depends on how the king plans to deal with it and how to use it.

Due to the rampant activities of the "God's Blessed One" international terrorist organization, this period of time is probably an eventful time for the human race.The Elf Prince Theodore also gave up the initial practice of gathering the elves to take revenge on the lord Ain after communicating with the sea princess Doris in many ways, and chose to appeal through official channels.On the one hand, it can prevent the elves and the human race from being exploited by those who are interested in causing greater conflicts; An apology from the elves is also indispensable. Roger felt that His Majesty the King was haggard after arranging many matters, and seeing his golden scepter was full of pain.

Theodore settled a big worry, and his shoulders relaxed a lot. After calling the real elf envoy to deal with the follow-up matters through the elf's unique contact information, he continued to plan the next trip, and the poor Hai Doris, the princess of the clan, was rejected by her father to travel abroad, and reluctantly left the capital with the Sea Clan envoy.

Roger's priest courses have progressed by leaps and bounds. With the bracelet as a learning device, coupled with the mana value that has increased with the level of experience a while ago, Roger quickly learned and used most of the priest spells proficiently. Everyone's jaw dropped and passed the assessment of the middle-level priest.

Although he has not yet made any outstanding contributions to the temple, such an astonishing learning speed still made Roger stand out among the priests very quickly, and gained many "friendships" mixed with reverence—in the eyes of the priests, what they The spells used are the result of the gods' gift, and Roger's rapid progress means that he is the one favored by the gods, which makes the priests who worship the gods have to treat Roger differently.

Roger felt that the way Bishop Lawrence looked at him had also changed significantly. Perhaps even he himself did not expect that Roger would gain a firm foothold in the temple so quickly.Outstanding ability, good at dancing, coupled with Lyon's secret arrangements, made Roger faintly have the position of the leader of the younger generation.

Just when the elves had almost studied the next training route, Laycent was restrained in the capital, and his patience became less and less, Leon became more and more overwhelmed, and Roger thought he would be in the temple. When he was promoted to high priest, he received an official summons from Archbishop Lawrence again.

"Child who is loved by the gods, Roger, I have a very important task to entrust to you now. I believe that only you can complete this task. It is not only offering to the gods as a priest, but also The responsibilities of being a 'God's Favored One'."

Roger knelt under the long steps, looking up at the solemn Bishop Lawrence, and felt the bracelet on his wrist was slightly hot.

...that sucks, I almost forgot about this QAQ - just the only thought on Roger's mind at the moment.
