Trainee Priest

  "But I have already registered at elf Academy. I am going to go to elf Academy next week. I may not have time to come here."

  Roy said politely.

  Then he prepared to say goodbye and leave.

  Now he is hesitating whether to pay Priest Reed a hundred kohler or compensate him with a donation?

  Priest Reed could see that Roy was not very interested in what he said, so he thought for a while before saying:

  "After becoming a trainee priest, you will have two and a half days a week to read here, but you cannot take the books out of the study room."

  After saying that, he stood up, walked to the door and waved to Roy.

  Waiting for Roy to catch up, the two left the confessional. Priest Reed took Roy to the room closest to the main hall in the corridor on the second floor. After entering the room, he was greeted by a strong musty smell. The room is filled with bookshelves, and there is a wooden ladder at the door for easy access to books.

  Some of these books are prayer books, some are about the history of Liberty Goddess Temple, some divine technique guides and so on.

  Although it is of little use to outsiders, it is very precious to the priests.

  Since Roy had not yet joined the Liberty Goddess Temple, he could only stand at the door and look inside to confirm that what Priest Reed said was true.

  But Roy is still not interested in this...

  During this time, Goddess has not lowered the Oracle.

  Not only did the believers chant prayers, but Liberty Goddess did not respond, even the enlightenment ceremony held here in the temple failed to allow the believers to perceive the holy light.

  Liberty Goddess Temple has experienced two manpower redeployments in the past six months. Currently, including the trainee priests, there are only five people. Just the night before yesterday, the Holy Grail in front of the temple's holy pool was stolen. If it weren't for the shortage of manpower, , and such embarrassing things will not happen.

  Priest Reed felt that the Liberty Goddess Temple urgently needed to increase its personnel, and the youngster in front of him was the best choice.

  It took a lot of effort to meet him, but he was not willing to let Roy slip away easily.

  Roy's lack of excitement meant that the conditions offered were not enough, so Priest Reed continued:

  "There are only two prayers a week that you are required to attend."

  "In the other three and a half days, you can follow me to learn divine technique..."

  Roy found that the seven days a week were actually fully scheduled, and he had to go to school, so he simply had no time to do other things...

  The two of them stood in the corridor on the second floor. Roy looked at the stairs at the corner, thinking about how to say goodbye.

  "...If you become a trainee priest, you can also receive a subsidy of four hundred kohler every week." Priest Reed continued.

  Roy swallowed the excuse he had prepared immediately.

  He raised his head, looked at Priest Reed with an expectant look on his face, and readily agreed:

  "Well, I think I'm very suitable for this job... oh... very suitable to be a trainee priest!"

  Priest Reed didn't expect Roy to change his mind so quickly. Seeing that he readily agreed, he said very happily:

  "So... Roy, welcome to join Liberty Goddess Temple."

  …

  Roy originally thought that joining the Liberty Goddess Temple would provide some ceremony or something.

  didn't expect. It just added his name to the list of clergy in the temple, and there was also the word "trainee" in front of the priest.

  Afterwards, Priest Reed took Roy to visit other buildings in the temple. Because the theft case had not been closed, the elf patrol asked the temple to keep all the items and furnishings in the main hall as they were, so Priest Reed did not take Roy into the main hall. .

  Priest Reed is the high priest of the Liberty Goddess Temple in Castletown. The other two priests are all deputy priests. The two trainee priests are also students of these two deputy priests. However, High Priest Reed has no students around him.

  Now that I have finally found a student, of course I want to introduce Roy to others.

  "This temple was built by His Majesty Felix Mitchell, who happened to be the seventeenth during my term." High Priest Reed introduced to Roy.

  The two walked to the steps of the main hall. High Priest Reed pointed to the stone sculpture holding a two-handed staff and introduced to Roy: "This statue was created based on Felix Mitchell. ."

  At this time, the priest Roy had seen in front of the steps of the main hall came out from the side.

  High Priest Reed quickly said to him: "This is Priest Theodore. He is usually responsible for distributing blessed water from the holy pool here."

  No wonder he squatted at the door of the main hall to guard the door. It turned out to be because the Holy Grail in the holy pool area he was responsible for was lost. Roy quickly saluted the unlucky Priest Theodore, while considering whether to reveal the information he knew to him.

  If I had known that I would join the temple today, I should have asked the elf patrol to arrest the thief yesterday.

  Roy regretted it.

  Priest Theodore showed a kind smile and welcomed Roy.

  Then High Priest Reed took Roy to meet Priest Anderson, as well as two trainee priests, Jasper and Abbot, who were doing chores in the backyard.

  Priest Andyson is mainly responsible for the twice-weekly gatherings in the temple, preaching the doctrines of Liberty Goddess Temple to the believers and promoting the glorious deeds of Liberty Goddess.

  He and Priest Theodore are both ELFs, and their faces are much more handsome than Priest Reed's.

  The other two trainee priests, Jasper and Abt, are also ELFs, but they are both mixed-blood ELFs. Roy can see some differences from the Silvermoon Elfs from their eyes and ears.

  Perhaps because of the ELF clan, when choosing a mentor, they did not choose Priest Reed.

  The two trainee priests wore white robes, with only some dark red patterns on the collar, cuffs and belt, and no hats on their heads.

  After so long, a new person finally joined, and the two young elves were very happy...

  Then Priest Reed gave Roy a set of trainee priest's robes, belts, boots, and even arranged a small room for him with just a bed and a wardrobe.

  Although Roy is a trainee priest in the temple, because he still attends the elf Academy, he does not need to live in the temple. He only needs to come to the temple every afternoon and leave before dinner.

  This is already very relaxed for a trainee priest...

  Roy feels that this job not only allows him to learn, but also provides a stable salary, and is very close to home. It is really good...

  Roy casually familiarized himself with the environment in the temple and saw that it was getting late, so he put the trainee priest's robes and boots in the closet. Before leaving, he specially said goodbye to Priest Reed before wearing Brown Walk home.
