When shaking hands, Shade also took the initiative to introduce himself.
"Bill has already told me about you. Being able to join is both your luck and our luck."
The old man said happily. At this time, Shade saw the champagne in the ice bucket on the coffee table, which should have been prepared by Dr. Schneider, because the financial situation of Priest Augustus seemed to be only better than Shade.
Priest Rat Augustus is a second-level sorcerer in this group. He became a correspondence-level sorcerer three years ago.
He is not a local who grew up in Tobesk City, but was born in a small town in the south of the Kingdom of Delarian. Influenced by his family, the old priest has believed in the righteous god [Mr. Dawn] since he was a boy. In his youth, he passed through Tobes
After passing the examination at Clemens Theological Seminary, he joined the Dawn Church in Tobesk City at the age of 23. He has never married since then and has been making contributions to the church throughout his life.
Although for 30 years, Priest Augustus did not break away from his status as a priest for various reasons. But no one doubted his piety. The old priest's prestige in the church of this parish was quite high, and he was very popular within the church of Dawn Church.
Clergy and believers trust him, and even the archbishop of a large diocese like Tobesk will ask his opinion on certain important issues.
Due to the awkward relationship between the Correspondence Ring Warlock and the Righteous God Church, Shade will often need to hide his identity in front of the Church in the future. Priest August is the best person in the group to settle church affairs because he has connections with the Righteous God Church.
Although the Ring Warlock's talent is not very good due to his advanced age, he is absolutely indispensable in a group of five people.
As a proof of mutual trust, Priest August and Shade also showed each other their respective life rings. The priest also belongs to an extraordinary situation among ordinary circumstances, but it is not three like Miss Louisa, but only one core.
Spirit Rune [Glimmer].
Priest August's identity and core runes are in line with the requirements of the "theological school" of St. Byrons Comprehensive College. However, the priest did not join the seminary. He is now a member of the School of Chemistry and is proficient in the cultivation and picking of herbal medicines.
and the preparation of potions.
In the group of five people, Shade now knows one more person. Among the remaining two people who have not arrived, Dorothy Louisa, a writer from the Folklore Institute, will probably take some time to arrive, and the other three-ring warlock will arrive.
Luvia Anat is unable to come today, she is temporarily away from Tobesk for some matters.
"Miss Anat is actually different from us. Strictly speaking, she is a ring warlock who belongs to the [Prophet Association]. Anat wrote a letter and asked us to say hello to you. She will not be back until next month, but in fact she has not
It’s only a few days, it’s next week.”
The doctor continued to introduce the group's situation and indicated that Shade, who had finished shaking hands, could find a place to sit down wherever he wanted.
"Since she is also in our group, isn't that lady a correspondence student from St. Byrons?"
Shade asked doubtfully, choosing to sit opposite Dr. Schneider.
Although Priest August came from a church background, he received adult education from the college, so he could be regarded as a correspondence student at St. Byrons. This Miss Anat was completely different.
"No, she is also a correspondence student of the college. She belongs to the School of Astronomy and is proficient in the art of divination. As for why she has a dual identity, do you know about 'joint training'?"
The doctor asked. Shade was just confused when he heard the lady's information, but now he is truly surprised. He once again confirmed that the force he joined is really a school.
"She still belongs to the [Prophet Society], but she was trained in both directions. In fact, St. Byrons Comprehensive College, and many friendly organizations, including Zarath College of Literature and Sussex Higher Medical School, but not
Churches all have such joint training for students, as you will know later.
But there is no need to think anything of Anat because of her status, just treat her as an ordinary companion. Do you need tea? I drank some good black tea at your place last time, and I also asked the servant to buy some."
The doctor asked, and Shade thought for a while:
"Okay, thank you... So, Miss Luvia Anat is actually the same as us?"
"There is still a difference."
Priest Augustus was playing with his old pipe as he spoke. Of course he would not smoke in the clinic, this is just a habitual action:
"In addition to the knowledge that Miss Anat can gain at the academy, the [Prophet Association] can also provide her with conveniences. She is very highly regarded by the ring magicians of the [Prophet Association]. So relatively speaking...
"
The priest glanced at the doctor. The doctor shook his head indifferently and signaled to the gray-haired old priest that he could continue:
"Although she is only in the third level and is only one level higher than me in the group, even the doctor is not sure that she can beat her without a head-on confrontation. Of course, this also has the abilities of Schneider and Louisa, so it is not suitable for a head-on fight.
Reasons to fight.”
Priest August believes that although ring warlocks have power, this profession is for studying the world and exploring themselves deeply, rather than for killing. In the eyes of the old man, ring warlocks are more like scholars than employees.
soldiers.
He had a similar idea to the doctor. After becoming a correspondence magician, he should not indulge his heart just because he gained power, but should be more modest and cautious.
In other words, the two of them were gently reminding Shade that he must be careful when doing things and not get involved in things he shouldn't be involved in. Read patiently, carve spiritual runes to accumulate spiritual energy, read the notes of predecessors, and learn more thaumaturgy.
and spells are the correct way of life for a correspondence magician.
Shade therefore suspected that the doctor had told Priest Augustus about what he had experienced the day before yesterday. Priest Augustus was worried that Shade had suddenly gained strength through the remnants of the old gods and was eager to gain more power through similar adventures, which is why he acted like this
explain.
Priest August is also a very good man.
"Speaking of which, I'm actually quite curious about one thing."
Since the relationship between ring warlocks and fighting and killing was mentioned, Shade asked:
"Since the Ring Warlock collects elements himself, and even has spiritual runes engraved by the elements. Then by killing the Ring Warlock, can he obtain the opponent's power, such as spiritual runes, elements that escape, or the opponent's elements turned into artifacts?
Something like that.”
"Oh, this is such a terrible idea."
The gray-haired old priest shook his head, held the Holy Emblem on his chest and closed his eyes to pray. The doctor shook his head seriously, looking at Shade with his blue eyes:
"Shad, I don't know where you got such a terrible idea. But if you kill a ring warlock who has nothing to do with you, all you can get is the corpse of the other person, and the guilt that will accompany you throughout your life.
From Delarion to Carsonric, from the Old World to the New World, from steam-industry cities like ours to dark rural cemeteries. Ring warlocks can appear almost anywhere, but remember, this is the age of civilization,
It's not a dark forest where the jungle is strong. If someone attacks you, you can fight back, but don't kill for pure profit, as this will make it easier for you to lose control."
Shade also understood that what he said was inappropriate, and he was only so curious because of the fantasy stories he had read in the past. The stranger did not want to gain power by killing people at all, he was just worried that others would do this:
"Sorry, actually I'm just curious. Yes, that kind of world is too scary... It's like people can live by eating people."
Priest Augustus, who was holding the Holy Emblem tightly, looked at Shad. His eyes were not as harsh as the doctor's, and the wrinkled eyes showed a gentle meaning:
"Although our world is so weird and terrifying, with countless evil things entrenched, relics of the past era can be seen everywhere, dangerous and mysterious knowledge challenges the limits of normal people's reason at any time, evil gods walk on the ground and peek into the world, old and new.
There are behemoths of the abyss hidden under the oceans of the continent, but we are still happy for the existence of the world. Come, gentlemen, respect this kind world."
The old priest said he was moved, and took the initiative to raise the tea cup in front of him. The doctor nodded happily and raised the cup, while Shade smiled. No matter how bad his situation was after he came here, it seemed that this world
To compensate him, I sent him such wonderful friends:
"To this kind world."
The three of them spoke loudly together, and the stranger's smile at this moment came from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, the door was pushed open. The blond writer who barged in without knocking did not hear the previous conversation. But as soon as he opened the door, he saw three men holding teacups high. One had a sacred face, one had a serious face, and one had a mouth.
With a smile.
Miss Louisa looked at the men hesitantly, wondering whether she should withdraw:
