The Primordial Wizard

Ace persuaded with an unusually gentle voice: This is called loyalty to the Lord. The wealth of the Mayne Gang is taken from the believers, and we take half of it and return it to the Holy Light to atone for our sins. If there is no contribution, how can we be in the old street? What about building a divisional church?

As for the remaining half, we, as the capital of the new church, maintain the orderly operation of the entire old street and protect the residents of the old street, which is to give back to the believers.

Jamila felt that what Ace said did not conform to her understanding of justice, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't tell what was wrong, so she could only reply dumbly: Then let's try?

Ace pulled up Jamila joyfully, took a step back and bowed and said, Thank you, dear Lord Star Knight Jamila.

Jamila replied seriously: Everything is for the old street believers.

This was a very serious conversation, but the blushing of Jamila's cheeks made the conversation seem a bit charming.

Jamila guarded here, and Ace found the half-giant Claire Latin. After entrusting Lisa and others to the care of Old Conte, Claire Latin carried all the wealth they obtained from the Mayne Gang and buried half of it quietly in the Cemetery in Old Street.

During this period, there was an episode. Several watchmen saw the whereabouts of Ace and others, and were also discovered by Ace, who was finally fainted by Ace.

This is my special technique. They will probably fall into a coma for three days. When they wake up, our work is almost done.

After hearing Ace's words, Jamila was still not at ease. She said worriedly: Then we can't put them here, the watchmen near here should have a place to live, so let's put them there.

Claire Latin said humbly: Your Excellency, you are such a kind person. I know the way, and I will take them there.

After he finished speaking, he lifted the three of them on his shoulders with one hand, and ran wildly. After about a quarter of an hour, Claire Latin ran back.

Seeing this, Ace asked Claire Latin to carry the treasure, and the three of them took advantage of the night to go to St. Ivan's Cathedral. Thanks to Ace's eyebrows and eyes, they avoided the night patrol soldiers and arrived at the cathedral quietly.

After delivering the treasure, Claire Latin returned to Old Street first, and he also took on the responsibility of protecting Lisa and those children.

St. Ivan's Cathedral is the parish church of the entire Royal Capital region, and its supreme leader is Mom Matt, one of the twelve cardinals.

Jamila's teacher, Bishop Pyne Hood, the deacon of St. Ivan's Cathedral, received the three of them. The church is now in decline.

It has been many years since no one paid a ransom.

Ace actually brought a treasure worth two thousand gold coins to atone for his crimes, which alarmed His Excellency Cardinal Mom, and sent Jamila's teacher, the deacon bishop, to meet him personally.

The two talked in secret for a long time in the prayer room until the sun rose before Pine Hood and Ace walked out of the room. Under the auspices of Cardinal Mom Matt, the bishops of St. Ivan Cathedral passed a resolution.

The sun shines through the colorful glass skylight, and Ace kneels in front of the cardinal. Cardinal Mom Matt anoints his hands with holy oil and declares against the sun:

Today, monk Kelan Old Street is appointed as the priest of the Bernarda Old Street Division. He is fully responsible for the construction and management of the church in the division, shepherding and guiding the people of the Old Street for the Holy Light, and spreading the glory of the Lord...

Ace took the seal, appointment scroll and priest's robe respectfully, with a solemn expression.

Jamila also saw Ace's face for the first time. The sun shone on Ace's body, it was so gorgeous, her heart beat faster and her face was slightly hot.

You're obviously very handsome, why do you always wear a mask?

She murmured in a low voice, and her thoughts went back to the time when she held Ace that night, her cheeks became more red.

The ceremony was not long. His Excellency Cardinal Mom Matt spoke endlessly for half an hour. The people finally dispersed and Ace got what he wanted.

He successfully blended into the declining Church of the Holy Light system and became a beloved clergyman. From now on, Ace's official name is the priest of the Old Street District Church of the Bernarda Regional Church.

Ace, who was walking in the sun for the first time, put the Holy Glory mask on his chest and walked out of St. Ivan's Cathedral. The streets were full of traffic, and it was the most crowded time near noon.

Jamila walked side by side with Ace on the street, and she said softly, I hope you can bring the gospel of Holy Light to the old street.

Ace smiled slightly, and said to Jamila: I will work hard. Only you and Claire Latin know that I am Mr. Cat. I hope you don't say it. This identity is still useful occasionally.

Jamila nodded heavily, and the two slowly moved away from the crowd, and came to a quiet alley. Jamila said with some concern: I need to learn the combat skills of the Star Knight, and I can't go to the old street to help you for the time being. You can only do it on your own.”

Ace shook his head and interrupted: You have to believe me, the order in the old street will be completely new in a few months, and no one can bully kindness wantonly. It's just that the most important problem now is with you, and there are still half a year to go before the blessing of the Holy Sword ,are you ready?

Jamila clasped her hands subconsciously. She was a little afraid. Although she yearned for justice in her heart, she had never been in a high position. What she was afraid of was not competition and death, but fear of not doing well.

Mr. Cat, do you know? I'm just a farmer's daughter. I didn't know how to read until I came to St. Ivan's Cathedral. Even so, I'm only literate. I don't have any culture at all, and I don't know how to govern the country.

Not only that, but I am reckless and naive. I always think that people should always maintain a righteous heart, have compassion for others, and have a clean soul.

Her eyes were full of longing, no doubt this is Jamila's expectation, and also her vision of a perfect self, she said with a slight sigh: With such a will, it is of course no problem to be a knight under the holy light, but If one wants to be a king, a ruler is unlikely.

Ace shook his head, the thread of fate began to spread, and a brand new script scroll was born in his vertical eyes.

He put his hands on Jamila's shoulders and said solemnly:

I don't agree, I never agree. The ruler must be dark, and the ruler must be proficient in various schemes. This is the perception of the vast majority of people, and it is also a fact of this world, but this does not mean it is correct.

Why can't this world be ruled by pure souls, clean and righteous? We can build a fair world, a world where people can climb up if they just work hard.

Ace's eyes were full of light, and the sun shone on him, making Jamila a little bit blindfolded, and the exciting music of fate began to play, making Jamila's heart leap. She listened to Ace and continued:

Are we going to be happy because injustice persists? Can't we do our best to change the world?

Since you have been selected by Wang Shi, you have the qualifications to become a king. As long as you are firm in your heart, you will become a participant in the battle for the selection of the king.

Jamila, you do have a lot of deficiencies. You don’t have an overwhelming advantage in personal strength. You don’t know how to maneuver or govern, but you have a heart like gold. You really yearn for the light. I think this is the most rare quality of a king. .

Jamila Bernard, what exactly do you think the king is?

Accompanied by the waves-like music, Jamila said in a somewhat confused way:

Do I have the quality of a king? I have always believed that a king is a supreme ruler in the world, he can do whatever he wants.

In the eyes of different people, Wang may be different. My father has always envied Wang. He always said that Wang would use a pure gold hoe to cultivate the land.

Of course, I know that kings don’t need to farm land. In fact, many people want to become kings. I’m afraid they are more envious of the king’s extravagant life and natural royal power.

Ace touched Jamila's confused little head, took her hand and jumped up, and the two jumped to the tallest tower nearby, overlooking the bustling crowd.

The music of fate became more and more passionate, and Ace faced the wind and said gently to Jamila:

If you become a king, the lives of everyone in front of us will be closely related to you. The king is the responsibility, the king is the burden, the king should be a righteous person, the holy light protects the world, and our believers should also be controlled by one Ruled by a righteous king, protected by a righteous king.

Jamila was a little shaken by what Ace said, her long hair and dress fluttered with the wind, and she said softly:

I also really want to have such a righteous king who can punish all evil, can distinguish right from wrong, and bring happiness to all kind people. But I have no confidence at all except that I can strictly abide by justice and have a pure heart. .

I don't have the confidence to tell right from wrong, I don't have the confidence to govern the country in an orderly manner, and I don't have the confidence to bring happiness to all kind people.

Ace smiled slightly, Jamila's thoughts were just as he wanted, and he said seriously:

Ability can be exercised, but a pure soul cannot be exercised. Even if the ability cannot be exercised, it can be supplemented by selecting talents and hiring sages.

I am about to go to Old Street. If you want, you can come to Old Street to help me, or you can experience how to govern a place.

Jamila's eyes lit up, she nodded heavily and said, Wait for me for a month, not half a month, as long as I write down the combat skills I want to learn, I will go to Old Street to help you.

Ace stopped talking, he put on his mask and jumped into the sky, waved his hands without looking back, and quickly disappeared from Jamila's sight.

Jamila clenched her small fists to cheer herself up, and said softly, Is the king of the righteous? If he is the real king of the righteous, does he also need a wise man of righteousness and even...

Ace has arrived at Old Street. He is wearing a priest's robe, which looks very conspicuous. Old Street is almost an unmanaged place in Bernarda, the capital of hope.

Bernarda is directly ruled by the royal family. It is reasonable to say that except for the religious territories, the rest are under the jurisdiction of royal officials, but the officials do not manage this place, nor does the church. Only some evil forces survive here.

He found Claire Latin, took out half of the remaining treasure, and first went through the official channels to report the matter to the political officer in the southern block of the kingdom. The political officer Wheeler Commons said to him with a righteous face:

Priest Kelan, I didn't expect the church to be so embarrassing. The jurisdiction of the old street belongs to the royal family. Although I am only a small district administrative officer, I also have a backbone. You have misunderstood the person. I cannot betray the interests of the royal family.

Seeing him pondering, Ace clapped his hands and let Claire Latin come in carrying the treasure.

The political officer saw a four-meter-tall half-giant bending over and was about to shout, when he suddenly saw Claire Latin smashing a bag on the ground, and the gold, silver and jewels slipped off. Said: You are so accurate!

Ace was holding two authorization documents with the royal seal. With this document, Old Street was a subsidiary of the yet-to-be-established branch church, and he legally obtained the jurisdiction, taxation rights and religious rights of Old Street.

Among them, the tax right is the most important. Although the direct royal family cannot be entrusted, they can sell the tax right to others for one hundred years. As long as others pay the tax equivalent to fifty years within one year, they can rule a certain area for one hundred years. years of power.

This is the method pioneered by the previous king, and it is said that a large amount of wealth was collected very quickly.

Because there are not many taxes in the old street, after Ace gave the treasure to the administrative officer, he directly obtained the jurisdiction document and tax package document.

He smiled and said to Claire Latin: You know what? I have tried my best to establish a new order in the old street. Our place should usher in changes, right?

Claire Latin said with a simple smile: I believe in you. You have been distributing money to the poor in the past, and you have made people in the neighborhood not afraid of me and get close to me. You will definitely make the old street better.

The vertical eyes between Ace's brows were faintly hot, his aura rose unconsciously, and the hidden power of fate was finally digested when the new script opened, which made Ace's heart burn blazingly, and a phantom appeared above the fire, He also successfully promoted to the first level of life.

Claire Latin felt that Ace seemed to be getting stronger and grinned.

Ace also smiled. The strength of a first-level fighter is enough to suppress the vitality group near the old street. More importantly, his spirit has finally achieved overclocking, and many magic methods can also be used.

It doesn't take much to persuade the surrounding vitality groups. Ace's several shots let everyone know that this priest is great. Coupled with two royal documents and a commission from St. Ivan's Church, everyone in Old Street Numbly accepted the fact that there was a new ruler on his head.

Ace spent a lot of money. He used the market price to invite the residents of Old Street and the Engineers Association of Bernarda to build a new church in the ruins of the Mayne Gang headquarters.

This church is neither tall nor magnificent. Its shape is simple and its structure is simple, and it only occupies the front part.

All of them were converted into monasteries in the back, and they were put into use after a little decoration. Ace brought all the orphans who wandered in the old street into the monastery, and influenced a group of residents through preaching and money, and entered the monastery as monks and nuns.

Lisa also made great efforts here. As a nobleman, she learned how to manage the manor and treat people since she was a child, and she became Ace's right-hand man without knowing it.

One day Ace couldn't help asking: Lisa, why don't you want to go back to your own home? Stay with me, you can only be a nun, at most a deacon nun of a divisional church.
