Certificate of Asceticism

After the brief baptismal ceremony, William received another series of system prompts.

"Dear player William, your camp reputation: human, has been raised, currently is: friendly (0/36000)"

"Your organization's reputation: the Church of the Sun, has been raised, currently is: friendly (0/36000)"

"The Kahn Village NPC, 'Father' Yves Adolph, has increased his favorability towards you."

"Black Iron Era 12058, July, summer, dry and hot wind blowing across the land, you have officially become a 'Throne' player, may you find happiness and memories in the game in the days to come."

William pressed his excitement and closed all these messages after a cursory browse, then got up and followed the priest who was already walking towards the back of the hall.

At this point he looked at the priest again, his head has been able to show the specific name and HP.

The priest of the village of Kahn was named Yves Adolph, and the name above his head showed some, but not a lot, of goodwill in light green. His HP border is pale gold, symbolizing the second order Extraordinary.

As a comparison, William's own HP is just dull white, symbolizing the first order Mundane, while those surrounding the interns, even gray HP, symbolizing mortals without order.

Follow the footsteps of Adolph all the way into the office space at the back of the hall, a simple circle-shaped small hall appeared in front of William, in the small hall around and lined with many rooms, respectively, belong to the different functions of the church.

Although the priest did not say any words to follow him, William did not dare to fall one step behind, because in the game, Polenesius left behind in the canon "lifting the sun" wrote: "You must not open your mouth to speak in the place where I am watching, because those who open their mouths in front of the sun are bound to have dry mouths."

Therefore, it is not allowed to speak freely within the Church of the Sun, especially in the presence of Polenesius.

But according to the rules, the Church of the Sun will give each new friar a set of equipment, including a Gospel book used to record the grace of God, a handy one-handed weapon and a clergy uniform.

This is the 'advance payment' that William has been planning for a long time.

Only some wealthy churches will be willing to give a set of Mundane grade equipment that can greatly improve the combat power, so that the precious clergy get the necessary help.

And look at Father Adolph, who is leading the way in front, the pure and flawless silk robe is adorned with gold threads pressed with precious solar gold, which serves only to outline the corners of his garment, making it beautiful and not easy to flutter, creating a sense of solemnity.

To embellish the white silk, many rubies were sewn on it, simply because it was one of the favorite offerings of the sun god Polenesius.

There is no doubt that the Church of the Sun is one of the 'wealthy churches', otherwise it would not spend a lot of money in the countryside or a small town to build a tall and luxurious church, just to inspire people to the reverence of the Sun God.

Following the priest's footsteps, William came to a warehouse located relatively close to the inside, where a friar was leading many interns to organize the inventory, inventory the collection on the books, and carry out the necessary maintenance.

When they saw the priest arrive, they stopped their work and silently saluted him, who greeted them with a nod.

Without further ado, the friar in charge of the warehouse immediately selected a set of newly delivered monastic robes, a well-made scepter and a brand-new Gospel book, and handed them all to William.

This is the reason why William followed the priest here closely. If he had not come in with the priest just now but had been informed by the intern sometime later and came here alone, then the equipment he received would not have been so well made.

Although they are all Mundane grade standard equipment, but there is the performance deviation.

After receiving the equipment, William saluted the priest goodbye and left the church.

Although there are many rewarding side quests to do in the church, and William can even be the fastest group of players to upgrade with his experience, but in the 'throne', level is not the only factor that affects a character's ability. Only players who have the advantages of level, order, equipment and profession at the same time can be called top players.

If William wants to obtain the special branch profession of 'ascetic friar', he cannot stay inside the church where friar eats with customized tableware and lights countless whale oil candles during the day to showcase God's grace and enjoy luxurious life.

Instead, he needs to go to the wilderness, measure the earth with his own feet, and influence believers with his own good deeds.

Of course, even with a good set of equipment, he is now only one level, and can use very limited spells, so he still needs some helpers.

With the identity of clergy, he met with the village chief of Kahn, Robert Kahn.

Although Robert was overwhelmed with surprise that this outsider was able to gain the favor of the church so quickly, he controlled his emotions well and did not show it, but received William warmly.

Then he jumped up in shock and said, "What? You want to go with the militia to eliminate the bandits around?"

Overly shocked Robert almost pulled off his beard, how could he not expect that a friar, especially a friar of the Church of the Sun, would be willing to go and do such hard work.

"No, absolutely not, I can't allow an honorable friar to be in a dangerous situation in my village."

William was not surprised by the village head Robert's refusal, but simply said goodbye to Robert in a friendly manner, and then went to the church again.

After receiving a greeting containing envy from the interns, William instructed one of them to go as soon as possible to report his request to the priest: he had volunteered to go to the most dangerous and hardest places to spread the glory of the Lord with his hands and words.

The interns went in for a long time before one of the friars himself handed William a fine, soft parchment.

William took the parchment and read what he most expected to see written on it:

I, Yves Adolph, priest of the church of the village of Kahn, baptizing my friar, William Green, issue this certificate: He voluntarily offers himself to Polenesius, the sun god, by his sweat and devotion, and no one may interfere.

When Robert, the village chief, saw this' certificate of asceticism ', his emotion was so wonderful that William took a photo with the camera function and posted it on the forum, instantly attracting countless players who were exploited by the village chief and became militia laborers to praise him.
