Shaman from Afar

——Knowledge is equivalent to gold.

This sentence was carved above the city gate by the wizards of Ebden, so that every traveler who entered the city gate could see it. In the simplest but clearest way, it tells everyone the essence of the city.

Ebden is a dynamic and all-encompassing city. This harbour city, south of the Misty Sea and north of the Sakran Empire, not only controls the most important foreign trade port of the empire, but also has the largest ocean-going fleet. The second largest city and source of wealth in the Empire, its population is second only to the imperial capital of Golovin.

There are the most profound scholars and the largest number of wizards here-the Nine-Mang Star Wizard Tower is the most important and unique wizarding college in the entire empire; beside it, there are the most abundant relics of the entire empire's collection. The library contains a lot of solitary secrets that have long been lost.

The latest strange thoughts, the most incredible creations, the most incredible discoveries ... The existence of wizards keeps the whole city full of curiosity, chases the pace of truth and wisdom, and is ready to let you open anytime, anywhere Vision.

And at the same time, head to the important commercial port that you ca n’t forget-you can buy everything in Ebden that you can imagine, not even imagine. No matter where it is in the world; foreign fleets, businessmen, travelers, nobles ... inject more fresh blood into the city all the time.

Ancient mysterious but novel knowledge, wealth flowing in all corners of the city, when the two converge to form this city of wealth and wizards, but also the weakest place of the Holy Cross faith.

A chaotic but energetic city-Loren, standing under the gate with the proverb, said so.

Of course, even if the church in Eboden is too weak to be considered as non-existent, some necessary processes and procedures still exist. After all, it is no longer the countryside of Lotel.

If you want to have a legal status as a wizard in this city, you must go to the nearest church to register and get a badge symbolizing the identity of the wizard, otherwise all the collection towers and wizard-related institutions will not Unidentified wilderness wizards are open.

As for some higher-level institutions, you must obtain permission from the Nine-Mounted Star Wizard Tower.

"Do I have to register?"

"It's just a way to let the Holy Cross know the past on the face." The chubby caravan leader heard what he meant: "Don't worry, I will accompany you to the most recent car after I set up the caravan Church-with the guarantee of Corona, those priests are absolutely not afraid to embarrass! "

"That's really grateful."

With a somewhat formal smile, Loren thanked very "sincerely".

What he worried about was not whether the church people would embarrass himself, but if his identity was revealed, what would be the attitude of the Holy Cross Church towards the night watchman?

Although Rute Infinite claims to be a night watchman serving the empire, there should be no "sincere friendship" with the holy Church of the Holy Cross.

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

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

"Ariel ?!" The caravan leader suddenly panicked: "This is absolutely impossible. The master of the house gave an order and wants you ..."

"Master Father will understand."

The thin girl walked out of the carriage, and her gray hair with a pair of foggy eyes turned to the black-haired wizard: "Is it possible, Lord Loren Turin?"

The surprised Loren hesitated for a moment and humbly bent down to salute the girl in front of him: "It's an honor, Miss Ariel Corona."

............ Priest Dome felt like he was really unlucky recently.

Since Alto, the genius alchemist of the Bellini family, came out and invented an alchemy potion that can cure all diseases, fewer and fewer wealthy people are willing to come to church to pray.

At the same time, the **** wizards in the field poured into the city like locusts, making Dom register for them every day, as if seeing them was not enough for them!

But then again, it is already bad enough in a "locust nest" like Ebden. It is simply a fantasy to believe in devout believers in such a place. The rich and powerful aristocrats preferred to use a large number of gold and silver coins to fund blasphemous research, rather than take out a copper plate to repair the church for themselves.

Great Holy Cross, if you really see this **** ghost place, quickly drop the thunder and blow this blasphemous locust nest into the sky!

Dom, who was lying on the main altar of the church, was thinking, of course, only imagining, because Priest Dom was a native and belongs to this "locust nest"-all the complaints came only from the field The envy, jealousy and hatred of the "peers".

If one day Eboden could come up with a strong enough bishop to let himself enjoy the taste of showing off in front of the wizards ...

The creaking door shaft interrupted the "fantasy" of Priest Dom, and there were two more men and a woman in the broken church. The priest lying on the ground quickly rallied and pretended to hum. :

"Children of Holy Cross, are you here to pray to God?"

"Uh ... it's not." Loren showed a "some regret" smile and took the initiative to go forward: "Sorry, the wizard who has just arrived in Ebden next, I hope to register with you."

This **** locust group again, can you not get together in another place? !

Be careful, the Dom priest whose liver has been pierced again is bleeding, and his face still has a sad and merciful expression: "It is a pity child, you are late, all the quotas for today have been released, you have to wait until tomorrow Row."

"Oh, that's what it is." Loren showed a look of "disappointment": "So, when can I come again tomorrow?"

"Then you won't be able to tell you until tomorrow." Priest Dome resisted the disgust in his heart and waved to Loren: "You go back first, remember to come early tomorrow."

Obviously, even the priest will not easily agree with him tomorrow.

"Can you please give me an accurate time? Sorry, I am really anxious. If you need, I can pay more silver coins ..."

"Holy Cross is on top, do you think I am that kind of greedy villain ?!" Priest Dome waved his hand, his brow cold: "Please do not use these filthy things to defile the soul of a servant of the Holy Cross!"

Holy Cross is on top, how much money can you have for a poor jingling wandering wizard, and you expect to send me a few silver coins?

"Sorry, bother you."

The girl who was standing behind Loren suddenly said: "If you can do a little favor for this gentleman, the Corona family will appreciate you."

"I said, you have to wait ... wait!" Hearing the priest Dome froze immediately, staring at the weak little girl in front of her, even stuttering: "Please, please, Your name is ... "

"Ariel, Ariel Corona." The girl smiled slightly on her bloodless cheeks, then nodded slightly toward the dark-haired wizard beside her: "I'm waiting for you outside, sir."

Smiling and watching the girl leave the church ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The priest Dome in front of Loren who turned around is still in a dumbfounded expression: "Is there any questions?"

"No, no problem ... cough cough cough!" The Dom priest who quickly recovered his face stared at him: "Holy Cross is blessing you, there is one last place left today, what is your name?"

After hesitating for a moment, the dark-haired wizard opened his lips and said: "Ain, Ain Rand."

"Very good, Lord Ain Rand, from now on you are a wizard of Ebden." Doom, who was bored, handed him a bronze nine-pointed star badge: "According to the rules, you still You have to pay two silver coins. "

"... Otherwise, I will give you twenty silver coins." Lifting a small purse from his waist and putting it on the table, the black-haired wizard smiled at him playfully: "You forgot to see me today Things, and then just find a place to register my name and it will be done. "

Slowly opening the money bag, looking at the silver coins inside, Priest Dome swallowed hard.

"So, the deal?"
