Chapter 179

——Knowledge is equivalent to gold.

This sentence was engraved on the top of the city gate by eboden wizards, so that every traveler entering the city gate can see it. In the simplest and clearest way, it tells everyone the essence of the city.

Eboden is a vibrant and all encompassing city. This seaport city in the south of the misty sea and the north of the saxophone Empire not only controls the most important foreign trade port of the Empire and has the largest ocean fleet, but also the whole empire. As for some higher institutions, they must obtain the permission of the nine pointed star wizard tower.

"Must I register?"

"It's just a formality, so that the face of the Holy Cross can say the past." the fat caravan leader heard his meaning: "don't worry, I'll accompany you to the nearest church after I set up the caravan - with the guarantee of corona, the priests will never be embarrassed!"

"Thank you very much."

With a somewhat formulaic smile, Lauren thanked very "sincerely".

What he worried about was not whether the church people would embarrass themselves, but what the Holy Cross Church's attitude towards the night watchman would be in case his identity was exposed?

Although Ruth infinite claimed that the night watchman worked for the Empire, there should be no "sincere friendship" with the aboveboard Holy Cross Church.

And from his attitude, his identity can not be exposed for the time being.

"Leave it to me, uncle. I know where the nearest church is." a soft voice came from the carriage.

"Ariel?!" the leader of the caravan suddenly panicked: "this is absolutely not possible. The Lord has ordered you..."

"My father will understand."

The thin girl came out of the carriage, her long gray hair, and a pair of misty eyes turned to the black haired Wizard: "can you, Lord Loren Turin?"

Surprised Lorraine hesitated for a moment, humbly bent down and saluted the girl in front of him: "it's a great honor, Miss Ariel corona."

... Reverend DOM felt that he had been really unlucky recently.

Since Alto, the talented alchemist of the Bellini family, was born and invented the alchemy medicine that can cure all patients, fewer and fewer rich families are willing to come to church to pray.

At the same time, those damn wizards from other places poured into the city like locusts and made DOM register for them every day. It seems that just seeing them is not enough for him!

But then again, it's bad enough in the "locust nest" like eboden. It's impossible to develop devout believers in such a place. The rich and powerful nobles would rather use a lot of gold and silver coins to fund the research of blasphemy than take out a copper plate to repair the leaky church on all sides.

Great Holy Cross, if you really see this damn place, you can quickly lower the thunder and blow up the profane locust nest!

DOM's imagination lying on the main altar of the church is, of course, only imagination, because priest DOM is a native and belongs to this "locust nest" - all his complaints come only from the envy and hatred of "peers" in other places.

If only eboden could have a strong bishop one day and enjoy the taste of swaggering in front of wizards

The creaking sound of the door shaft interrupted priest DOM's "fantasy", and two more figures of a man and a woman appeared in the dilapidated church. The lying priest DOM quickly cheered up and pretended to hum:

"Children of the Holy Cross, have you come to pray to God?"

"Er... No." Lauren smiled with "some regret" and took the initiative to go forward: "sorry, I'm the wizard who just came to eboden. I hope I can register with you."

It's these damn locusts again. Can't you get together in another place?!

Careful, the priest DOM whose liver was pierced again was bleeding, and his face still maintained a compassionate expression: "it's a pity, son, you're late. All the places for today have been released. You have to wait until tomorrow."

"Oh, so it is." Lauren showed a "disappointed" look: "excuse me, when can I come again tomorrow?"

"Then I can't tell you until tomorrow." priest DOM waved to Loren with his disgust. "Go back first and remember to come early tomorrow."

Obviously, even if it was to wait until tomorrow, the priest would not easily agree.

"Could you please give me an accurate time? Sorry, I'm really in a hurry. If you need, I can pay more silver..."

"On the Holy Cross, do you think I'm a greedy villain?" priest DOM waved and frowned coldly, "please don't use these filthy things to defile the soul of a holy cross servant!"

On the Holy Cross, how much money can you, a poor jingling wandering wizard, expect to send me away with a few silver coins?

"Sorry to bother you."

The girl standing behind Lauren suddenly said, "if you can do this gentleman a little favor, the corona family will appreciate you."

"I said it was necessary to wait... Wait!" priest DOM, who heard the surname, was stunned immediately, stared at the weak little girl in front of him, and stammered: "please, may I ask you, your name..."

"Ariel, Ariel corona." there was a slight smile on the girl's bloodless cheek, and then nodded to the black haired wizard beside her: "I'll wait for you outside, sir."

Smiling and watching the girl leave the church, the priest DOM in front of Lauren turned around was still stunned: "do you have any questions?"

"No, no problem... Kekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekeke

After a moment's hesitation, the black haired wizard raised the corner of his mouth and said, "ain, ain Rand."

"Well, Lord ayin Rand, you will be a wizard of eboden from now on." bored DOM handed him a bronze nine pointed star badge. "According to the rules, you have to pay two silver coins."

"... otherwise, I'll give you twenty silver coins." I picked up a small purse from my waist and put it on the table. The black haired wizard smiled at him playfully: "you forget seeing me today, and then just find a place to register my name."

Slowly untie the money bag and look at the full silver coins inside. Priest DOM swallowed his saliva.

"So, deal?"
