Priests in the temple

  "Did you meet that Naga killer?"

  Jasper started, leaning back in his chair and staring wide-eyed at Roy.

  "en!"

  He leaned over and stared at the linen bandage on Roy's body and said:

  "Let me see your injuries."

  Jasper started to panic when he saw the hemostatic cream dried up and some scabs on his back.

  There was a trace of embarrassment on his face:

  "Roy, um... I have a private mission tonight to go out for purification, so I have to keep some Holy Light Power. You also know that it is difficult to condense holy light when praying now, so... this is not my shirk. I really need to keep some holy light."

  Jasper patted his forehead and continued:

  "Let's call Aibt. This guy has been praying day and night recently. He might gain something."

  Roy didn't expect that Jasper actually received a private job. In this case, he had no choice but to go to Abbot.

  "I saw Abt in the concierge. I'm going to find him now."

  Probably because he felt a little sorry for rejecting Roy, Jasper took the initiative and said to Roy, "I'll go with you..."

  The two walked out of the study room and stood in the dormitory corridor. Roy asked Jasper:

  "Jasper, are you going to treat someone tonight?"

  After Jasper closed the door, he turned around and walked downstairs with Roy, saying as he walked:

  "It is generally difficult to get a job like healing. An ordinary healing potion in the pharmacy only costs fifty kohler. If the injured one is Silvermoon Elf, there is no need for it. In addition to receiving Life Tree juice from the Moon God, in the Moon Temple, The priests also have healing divine techniques, so they won't come after us at all."

  Before Roy could ask again, Jasper continued:

  "It's to go to the ship to purify the ghosts."

  There were several large ships moored at the pier, and Roy knew about them.

  Jasper didn't hide anything and regarded Roy as one of his own.

  He told Roy: "There are often ships calling at the port. When these ships are sailing on the sea, some crew members will die on the ship due to various accidents. There are often ghosts who cannot cross the Netherworld River and become wandering ghosts on the ship. At this time, we priests use holy light to purify."

  Roy didn't know how many times he had heard the story about the Netherworld River and the Ferryman.

  It is said that behind the Netherworld River is a place called the Plains of Despair, which is covered with the flower of Yellow Springs - Resurrection Lily.

  All souls who cannot enter the Divine Kingdom after death must enter here...

  Roy is also very curious about the wandering ghosts.

  It is said that only souls with great resentment after death, or souls that were not received after death, will stay in this world and become lost souls. These souls will either be purified or wait for the Soul Fire to burn out. The wind dissipated.

  Apparently Jasper's private job is to purify these dead souls.

  Roy hesitated before trying to make a request to Jasper:

  "Jasper, can you take me with you tonight?"

  Jasper didn't expect Roy to make such a request...

  "You want to take a look?"

  Roy nodded and said, "Well, I'm a little curious."

  Jasper hesitated slightly.

  But looking back, since Roy is already a trainee priest in the temple, naturally these things will not be hidden from Roy in the future.

  "Well, in fact, when you learn to purify in the future, you can join us. Of course, you can also work alone. As long as you are in Castletown Port, you won't have to worry about running out of business." Jasper said frankly to Roy.

  The two passed by the well and walked into the courtyard in front of the temple.

  Priest Andyson who was sitting by the pool was no longer there. Roy turned back and looked towards the Palace Lord Hall. It was also very quiet there.

  The entire temple is very quiet when there is no gathering. No one is running, no one is making any noise.

  Jasper looked at the statue of Liberty Goddess in the center of the pool, and his steps suddenly slowed down. His eyes stayed on the stone-engraved sacred prayer in her hand, and asked Roy:

  "Roy, what is your dream?"

  Roy followed Jasper in slowing down and said casually:

  "I want to try my best to understand this world and see if this world is connected to other worlds..."

  "Of course there are, actually there are quite a few!"

  Jasper gave Roy an answer without the slightest hesitation, and then said in a calm voice:

  "But... we don't call them other worlds, we usually call them planes. As far as I know, there are at least a thousand large and small planes we have discovered so far, and some planes are extremely Rich, some planes are full of disasters, and even if we discover some new planes, we usually won't change their environment easily. The most we can do is transplant the Tree of Life there."

  Roy followed Jasper and couldn't help but ask:

  "Jasper, do you know where I can learn about the conditions in these planes?"

  Jasper shook his head, patting Roy's shoulders comfortingly:

  "Those are things that only high-level elves in the upper class are exposed to. It's not easy for mixed-blood elves like you and me to enter that circle, and even if you enter that circle, it's not easy to understand the situation in all planes. It's too realistic, because the information on every seat is very precious, and those nobles are not willing to share it with others."

  "That's it!"

  This is the first time someone has talked to Roy about this, and it is very novel for Roy.

  Jasper came to the gatehouse at the gate of the temple, where Abbot was still praying seriously.

  Knocked on the open door.

  Abbot opened his eyes and saw Jasper, with doubts in his eyes:

  "Jasper, did those people change their minds and make the appointment not tonight?"

  "The agreement over there has not changed." Jasper walked in and said, "Abt, I need your help with something. Roy was slightly injured in the morning, and you also know my current situation, so this I'm afraid I have to ask you for help this time..."

  "Oh, why didn't you just tell me directly, is my 'lesser healing' worse than Jasper's?"

  Abt did not refuse, but smiled directly at Roy and joked.

  Roy stood at the door and explained awkwardly:

  "I saw you praying in the concierge just now, so I didn't have the nerve to disturb you..."

  Abbot asked Roy to sit in the concierge.

  There was no room for three people in the small space, so Jasper had to stand outside.

  Abt picked up the prayer book from the side and looked at Roy's injuries. While complaining to him:

  "Hey, it's been getting harder and harder to gather the holy light recently. No matter how much you pray, it has no effect. Roy, how on earth did you advance under such circumstances..."

  Roy felt that even if he told the truth again, neither of them would believe it.

  Even if someone does believe it, they will probably regard themselves as alien...

  Whether they are people or elves, everyone always likes to find those who have something in common to be friends, and is used to rejecting those who disagree.

  Roy said vaguely:

  "I just felt that the holy light particles around me were constantly integrating into my body, and then I advanced unknowingly."

  Aibte fiercely patted the table and loudly said:

  "It's exactly as I guessed. It was entirely because Holy Light Power was naturally integrated into Roy's body that he was promoted. This kind of situation can only happen to low-level trainee priests. If the two of us want to rely on this to advance, it will probably take a long time. several decades…"

  Jasper was also a little dumbfounded: "It can't be so exaggerated."

  "Why not!" Abbot said with despair again: "Originally, I thought Goddess's Holy Splendor might have some fish that escaped the net and shined into the elf continent, but I didn't expect that everything was just my fantasy. ."

  Seeing Abbot's low mood, Jasper quickly reminded:

  "Hey, be careful, failure is the biggest waste."

  Abt patted the prayer book and said with confidence: "With this...how could it fail!"

  The three of them chatted, and in the narrow gatehouse at the entrance of the temple, Abt completed the treatment of Roy.

  The secondary healing spell fell on Roy, and Roy could clearly feel that the scabbed wounds began to heal quickly again.

  Just as Roy stood up and tried to move his body, Jasper said to Roy:

  "Roy, try not to ask High Priest Reed to do this kind of thing in the future..."

  Roy looked towards Jasper with some confusion.

  Jasper said: "You just need to go to High Priest Reed. I guess he won't refuse. But for next week's temple gathering, he will have to inject Holy Light Power into the pool to maintain the basic efficacy of the holy water in the pool. …"

  Abt sat in the concierge again and asked in a low voice:

  "Has Teacher Andyson's holy light not recovered yet?"

  Jasper was nominally a student of Priest Andyson, and he knew more about Priest Andyson's affairs. There was a trace of worry on his face and he said:

  "Recently, the teacher's mood is not right. I feel like he looks at everyone like he is looking at the Holy Grail thief..."

  Aibute also sighed and whispered:

  "If the Holy Grail was still there, life wouldn't be so difficult!"

  Roy suddenly remembered that there were three priests in the temple, and asked:

  "What about Priest Theodore?"

  Aibute laughed and said casually:

  "He is now the golden sign of the temple. If the elf nobles in the city have needs in this regard, he will almost always come forward to solve them. Therefore, the teacher is almost outside all day long, and even if you can meet him in the temple, most of the time He will still refuse, even if I ask for it, he will not waste Holy Light Power easily, and he even got into a quarrel with Teacher Andyson because of this matter a few days ago."

  Jasper put his arm around Roy's shoulders, waved to Abbot, and walked to the backyard with Roy, saying as he walked:

  "So just come to us for this kind of thing. If you can help us, we will definitely help. Of course, it is best for you to learn the 'secondary healing technique' yourself. The primary level divine technique is not difficult. Just practice more." "
