"What is it, firewood?"
When Yi Chen saw this word, the first thing that came to his mind was to roast the grapes over the campfire.
"You don't know this! When I accepted this ancient eye disease, I glimpsed many scenes from the past! By the way, this human prophet Rudolph really has amazing willpower.
He himself is not a guy like the Eyeball Collector Gumhar who has fallen into depravity and specialized in the study of evil magic, but a decent person who is completely the opposite.
He was totally unable to accept the ancient and evil disease of 'Pyrophthalmia'. He relied entirely on his own willpower to hold on and even completed 'semi-integration'.
Because Rudolph had paved the way for me, I was able to accept this gift with relative ease... this ancient eye disease would take me to a higher realm.
However, Rudolf was not directly infected, but indirectly contracted the disease through voyeurism.
And because he died so long ago, the damage to his eye has been done over the centuries, and I'm only scratching the tip of the iceberg.
In order to obtain the true power of this ancient eye disease, it is necessary to continue to look for the "firewood" scattered in the old world or collected by some patients. It is an ancient material that carries this cursed fire.
Anyone who peers into the material will be infected with 'scorching eye disease', and if I can use the flames from this material to burn my eyes, I can further deepen this ability."
"It doesn't sound like a good thing. It might cause harm to you, right?"
"You know nothing! Since ancient times, those who want to obtain supreme power must bear the corresponding burden, and even need to give up something... And this grape has been considered an evil creature since its birth, so this kind of thing is perfect for me.
William, do you want to experience my new ability?"
"Goodbye for now! Little Grape, you just reborn from the Ashes, take a good rest."
“Coward!”
The brief conversation ends and the scene returns to the monastery.
Because the little grape completely accepted the eyes of the prophet Rudolf, the prophet's body was completely turned into ashes.
"Bishop Aleris, I am so sorry! The body of the prophet Rudolf could not be preserved."
"Haha, what's there to apologize for? I should thank you instead~ Rudolph has been trapped under the curse for a long time, and now he finally gets the freedom he deserves, and he also passed on the eyes, although the form of inheritance may be different from what he expected.
Since your pet can build a human form and become Rudolph's successor, why not give him a gentleman status and let him participate in Zion's "Prophet Assessment"
If it passes, it will provide a good platform for development.”
"Is it okay? Let me ask."
When Yi Chen conveyed the Archbishop's intention, Little Grape flatly refused.
"Humph! Does this old man want to use the identity of 'prophet' to trap me? You wish... I will not be imprisoned in a small human organization. I have already peeked into the beauty of the old world. When you, William, are no longer here, let's go explore the old world together."
"You can put the adventure aside for later. I will definitely go when the time comes.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could become a prophet now? Or do you think you don't have the ability to become a prophet, Little Grape? 』
"Bah! Isn't it simple for me to be a human prophet? I just don't want to be restricted."
"How about this, if you find any treaties that will restrict you during the assessment of the prophet's identity, you can just quit, okay? As for the gentleman's identity, the archbishop will help you with it."
"Then... I'll just give it a try."
It was obvious that Little Grape's last words lacked confidence. After all, he had participated in the nightmare game with Yi Chen and had witnessed the level of Yuri and Marco the Prophet with his own eyes.
However, since the Archbishop himself proposed this matter and was willing to help, Yi Chen still wanted to let Little Grape give it a try.
If he could obtain the status of a prophet, he would be able to maximize the use of the organization's resources, which would also be beneficial to Little Grape himself.
As the Archbishop sent out the message, personnel from the Gentlemen's Hall soon arrived at the scene, registered Little Grape's identity as a gentleman individually, and gave him a sufficient amount of "Gentleman's Skin".
The name registered is Yujin.Grip
At this time, Little Grape has transformed into a human form, shrouded in a black cassock given to him by the archbishop. The exposed parts of his body are slightly gray, and multiple eyes can be faintly seen under the hood.
The archbishop looked up and down at Little Grape's robes. "All you need to do next is take your leather to any tailor shop, put on the right clothes, and then you can apply for the prophet's assessment... Here is my letter of recommendation, which will save you a lot of trouble."
Little Grape under the cloak stretched out his wrinkled hand and took the letter of recommendation.
The two men bowed and said goodbye to the archbishop. Just as they walked out of the building's gate along the stairs of the hall, a familiar breath came from the side.
"Principal Deslin!"
"Sure enough... William, it's you who's causing trouble! You can even inherit Rudolph's 'Eye of Endurance'. The little pet in your body is really not simple."
Dai Silin raised her glasses slightly and looked at the stranger wrapped in a black robe beside Yi Chen.
When she peeked at the multiple burnt eyeballs under the hood, Deslin actually felt a little uncomfortable, and even a slight gray tint appeared on her eyeballs.
But as a string of stars passed by, the influence of the ash disappeared.
"Wearing a religious robe, holding a leather bag, and standing alone... Is this a gentleman who is preparing to join the organization under the recommendation of the Archbishop?"
Following the principal's questioning, Yi Chen explained the cause and effect of the matter in detail.
"You actually want to take part in the prophet's test, which is one of the most difficult tests among organizations. However, since you can inherit Rudolph's eyes, it means that you must have some skills. Go and give it a try."
Little Grape said nothing and just nodded slightly.
Dai Silin turned to Yi Chen and said, "So, you entered the secret room just to let your pet get this eye, and you get nothing yourself."
"Yes~ However, I looked around carefully and didn't find anything that particularly interested me. I'd better wait until I have time to go to the Old World to look for opportunities myself."
"You just dealt with the nightmare, and you want to run to the old world? Stop and rest for a while. You haven't been to my office for a while. How is your self-study of star magic going?"
Yi Chen scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I just happened to have a new realization recently and wanted to discuss it with the principal, but I've been too busy to come. I'll come to see you after I take Little Grape to make the costume."
"New insights? Hmm... Go ahead. You were so busy that you forgot to come here the first time. I really want to see what you have realized."
…
Savile Row Tailor Market
The largest gathering place for tailors under the organization, except for Mr. Yin Wan, an independent tailor who is completely separated from the organization and does not need any subsidies,
Most of the authentic tailors who are able to stay in Zion and obtain tailoring qualifications will open a shop in this area, or join other tailors to open a shop.
They don't need to worry about whether the business is good or bad. As long as the store operates normally and meets the standards during monthly inspections, they can receive a large subsidy.
Of course, some stores that are well received by customers and produce a sufficient amount of clothing will also receive support from the organization, and the corresponding tailors will also be able to be rated upward, gain higher honors and status, and enjoy better treatment.
Every day, a large number of gentlemen come to the market to repair, alter and add materials to their clothes.
Yi Chen also brought Little Grape here.
The two of them casually stepped into a relatively deserted shop.
Before the boss at the counter stood up, Yi Chen took out a special business card and showed it to the other party... The boss, who was a tailor, was so scared when he saw the words on the business card that he almost fell off his seat.
"You guys are looking for the chief tailor, Mr. Spacey?!"
"Yes, this is our first time here. Could you show us the way?"
"Okay, please follow me."
