Becoming a disciple with Martin was not as complicated as Regnar imagined. There were no rituals, no prayers, and even the etiquette was very simple. Eileen gave Martin a master-disciple gift, and then Martin returned the favor to her, and then gave Eileen a staff as a meeting gift. They had completed all the etiquette.
And the gift Martin gave Irene was also very valuable. That staff is called Light of Dawn, and it is a very practical weapon for priests. It can enhance the effect of all the light spells of the holder, and for Irene, its effect is to make the effect of his healing spells more significant.
Regnar knew very well how precious this staff was. It might not be as good as the one Annelotte took in the competition a few days ago, but there was no doubt that even this staff would be worth a lot if thrown into the weapons shop. There are probably high-end goods worth tens of thousands of gold coins, and you have to be at the largest weapons shop in Merindl to be able to buy them.
So when Regnar saw this staff, he instinctively wanted to refuse, but Martin stopped him in advance.
"Okay, kid. I think you should know more than Irene." Martin looked at Regnar with a smile and whispered: "I don't deny that I want to get some conveniences from Irene, a person favored by God. , but at the same time, I also like the child Erin very much. So, I hope she can live a better life. This staff may be a bit expensive as a gift, but for a God-favored person, such an item is actually not Nothing. Just accept it with peace of mind."
Seeing that Martin's tone was so sincere, Regnar dispelled his doubts and asked Irene to accept the Dawn Light. The naive Eileen naturally didn't know how much the Dawn Light was worth. She just felt that this thing always exuded a faint milky white light, which was both beautiful and practical, so she couldn't put it down the moment Martin took it out. And when she received Regnar's approval, the innocent half-elf girl immediately beamed and regarded it as her own treasure.
…
After returning to the hotel, Regnar proudly announced that Irene had become Pelor's priest, and he was directly a level 10 priest!
Regnar will probably never forget the expressions of Kordak and Vera at that time in his life. Their eyes were as big as eggs, and their mouths were open enough to easily fit an apple into their mouths.
Now that there is a mid-level priest around, the injuries of Regnar and Kordak in the next few days will be completely handled by Irene. But Eileen herself was not very confident in these things. After all, although she could take care of people, it was her first time to use healing techniques to treat other people's injuries, so she always declined at the beginning, fearing that she can not do well.
"What are you afraid of? I have a strong body! Even if you say the wrong spell and throw a Shadow Word spell at me, I can still resist it!" Kordak waved his newly mobile arm and patted his chest. He was full of confidence. to encourage Erin.
Finally, with the unremitting encouragement and persuasion of the people around her, Irene finally plucked up the courage to perform the healing technique for the first time according to the knowledge that Pero had instilled in her. Kordak was originally prepared to suffer a lot, after all, although Irene was a mid-level priest. But I am still a novice priest, and I have to know that there is a big difference between a novice and an experienced person in anything.
But for the sake of his sister-in-law's self-confidence, he felt that even if he, as the eldest brother, stayed in bed for a few more days, it would not matter. His game was over anyway. He had just been resting for the past few days, and the only thing he was worried about was that if Irene really threw him the Shadow Word spell and made him disabled, it would be too bad.
However, the result surprised everyone. The healing effect of Irene's treatment was surprisingly good. Kordak even felt that even if Martin did it himself, it would not necessarily be much better than her. Although there was help from the Light of Dawn, everyone had to admit that Irene was indeed a qualified priest, and could even be said to be a genius!
In fact, this is not because of Irene's talent, but because of Pero's memory infusion. You must know that the magic techniques that Pero instilled into Eileen must be the most standard and effective, and under the influence of divine power, Eileen memorized all the knowledge without missing a beat. All she had to do was to rely on her own memory to do it. Maybe it might be unfamiliar at first, but Irene had practiced it no less than a hundred times before treating Kordak. There will naturally be no problems.
After passing this first hurdle, Erin became obviously more confident. She organized her memories, and then when she was treating Kordak's injuries, she methodically used magic to bandage his wounds with deft hands and feet. Looking at her calm and skillful movements, several people almost thought that Ai Lin had actually been a pastor for several years without telling them.
After the mentality changes, what follows is a change in temperament. When Kordak and others first met Erin, she was like a poor kitten abandoned by the whole world. Timid and vigilant, except for Regnar, even when facing Kordak and Vera, there is always a bit of fear and panic. This makes the eldest brother and sister very heartbroken. What exactly is going on? What experience can make this girl so timid
Now, Eileen is obviously more cheerful and optimistic than before. She also started joking with Vera and Kordak, and occasionally with Inelis. The three of them were very happy about Eileen's change, but Regna was the only one who was a little depressed. Because he found that Irene's attitude towards him has been particularly bad in the past two days, well... It's not quite right to say bad. If I had to describe it, Irene's feeling towards him was as if he owed this girl tens of thousands of gold coins. .
"Have I offended her in the past two days?" Regnar asked Inelis privately. Among these people, besides Regnar, she was the most familiar with Irene.
"Hmph, how many people have you offended? Sister Anne, you haven't settled it yet!" Inelise's little face was full of contempt.
"It's not cute to hit someone in the face without exposing their shortcomings. It's not cute if Yi Ni does this." Regna said with a dark face.
"Tch! Who wants to be cute?!" Inelise changed to a look of disdain.
"..." Regnar was choked for a long time and couldn't breathe. In the end, he could only choose to compromise: "Okay, okay, my sister-in-law, can you help me ask Eileen why? I feel that I have been acting very badly these days. nice."
"Hmph, a man who has three boats at the same time has the nerve to say that he is doing well? Why is Brother Regnar so shameless?!" Inelise thought angrily, but she finally agreed to help Regner impatiently. Na asked.
But in the end, nothing was found. In fact, the reason why Irene was like this was very simple. It was because of the trouble caused by Pero's gift before.
Although Irene voluntarily gave up her shocking beauty for Regnar, but no matter what, it was still for Regnar. Therefore, the half-elf girl has always had a strange mentality in the past two days, that is, she feels that she will continue to be ugly because of Regna's existence.
Although Erin herself knew that this idea was completely unreasonable, she could not help but think so. So in the rest of her life, although Irene would not resent Regnar because of this, she would always be more or less a little temperamental. This was something unprecedented for Irene, who had always been docile and gentle, so Regnar's first reaction was not to go over to coax her, but to be surprised. In fact, if he went over and said a few nice words to coax her like he did to Enelise, Irene would definitely return to her former self soon. But he was just stunned by Irene's performance and completely forgot what he should do at this time...
In the end, after Inelise's inquiries were fruitless, Regnar had no choice but to take action himself.
"Irene? My little Irene?" Regnar came over with a mean smile on his face when he was free in the evening.
"What?" Eileen replied lukewarmly. She had actually been quite sad these past two days. I gave up so many things for Regnar, but no one except Peiro could know. After all, no one would believe this thing! Therefore, she felt angry when she saw Regna carelessly joking with others in the past two days. His attitude towards Regnar also became bad unconsciously. In fact, she would only deliver goods to Regnar, who was the closest to her. To others, poor little Irene didn't even dare to get angry.
"This...hehehe." Regnar said with his signature mean expression: "Brother always feels that you are not in a good mood these past two days. What's wrong? Tell me?"
"No... it's nothing..." Irene also noticed that her attitude towards Regnar had been a bit bad these days. She was already a little bit sorry about it, but now Regnar took the initiative to come to communicate with her, which made the kind-hearted Irene feel guilty even more. . But she knew that in two days it would be the day of Regnar's competition, and she also knew how important this competition was to Regnar. Therefore, she didn't want Regnar to be distracted by her little thoughts at this time.
"Eileen, do you know?" Regnar's tone became more serious.
"What?"
"Every time you tell a lie, the base of your ear gets red." Regnar said with a smile, "And now it's red again."
"I… "
"Tell me, Irene." Regnar looked at the half-elf girl and said sincerely: "I hope you can be happy every day, so I don't want to see you being troubled by anything. Just tell me , I will definitely help you solve it, don’t worry about me. Your brother Regnar is very powerful now!"
"I'm really fine, Brother Regnar." Eileen also looked at Regnar and said seriously: "I admit, I may be a little worried now, but I can assure you that it's not a big deal, I'm alone It can be solved.”
"But, do you want me to watch you continue to be in such distress?" Regnar asked.
"It is impossible for everyone to be happy all the time. It is precisely because of sadness that we can understand the beauty and preciousness of happiness." Eileen said: "So, it is normal for me to be upset. You don't need to go too far because of it. Nervous. Besides, brother Regnar, didn’t you notice?"
"Discovered? Discovered what?" Regnar was stunned.
Irene looked at Regna, she sighed quietly and said, "Don't you realize that you are carrying too much?"
“…”
"Me, Sister Anne, Little Yi Ni, Brother Kordak and Sister Vera." Irene said: "I know that we people are very important to you, and I also understand your strong desire to protect us. However, I don’t want to see you taking everything on yourself..."
Eileen unconsciously stretched out her hand and gently touched Regna's face: "You have to help Brother Kordak take revenge, help Sister Vera take care of our lives, and spend every day trying to make Yi Ni happy. Let her be happy every day, and think about me, a novice pastor, all day long. At the same time... Soon you will have to solve the problem of Sister Anne that you are most concerned about. And now, you have to come over and help me solve mine. Troubles...you take almost everything on yourself."
"Are you saying that I have too much control?" Regnar said bitterly.
"No, Brother Regna, I definitely don't mean this." Eileen said quickly: "I just... just... I just feel sorry for you... You must be tired if you work so hard and hard like this, right? You must be very tired, Seeing you so tired, I... I feel sad... I really feel sad... "
Irene's tears fell down as she spoke. She put her head on Regnar's chest, feeling the strong heartbeat coming from his strong chest. After an unknown amount of time, she murmured: "You are the only person I can rely on in this world. I am very scared. I am really scared that I will lose you... So, please stop working so hard, okay?" If one day you are exhausted, what should the rest of us do? I... I don't want to go back to the days like the past. So, please, brother Regnar, don't work so hard anymore... I... I’m really scared…”
Regnar held Irene in his arms, feeling extremely moved in his heart. Indeed, only Irene, a girl as thoughtful and gentle as water, can truly understand herself and be truly considerate of herself.
Although he has left the continent of Lance, he is said to have been far away from the bloody killings and right and wrong. But is he really relaxed? of course not? He not only has to consider the problems of everyone around him, but also the problems of Annelotte and himself, as well as the affairs of the Military Intelligence Agency and the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild.
Although he seemed to be far away from these trivial matters in the world, he understood that even a thought of his could drag himself and the people around him into that dangerous whirlpool again. Therefore, he has been showing off his mask almost since he came to Merindl. If his mask had not been knocked off due to the battle with Rego, he might have continued to disguise himself.
So, isn’t Regnar tired? Can you not be tired? But he never said it because he felt that it was worth it for his companions.
"I don't want to either." Regnar hugged Irene and sighed softly and said, "But I have to fight hard, because it's not just you who are afraid, I'm even more afraid. I've experienced some things, so I don't want to anymore." I have to go through it again, and I don’t want you to go through it again! So, I have no choice but to work hard."
When Regnar said these words, what flashed in his mind were battlefields where blood and flesh were everywhere, and heads and limbs were discarded everywhere like garbage. What frightened him the most were the three corpses. Those belong to Silenus, Gerhardt and Minnie. Even after such a long time, when he recalled the scene at that time, he still felt the coldness that would make even his soul tremble. These images were like stimulants, constantly giving him strength, urging him, even whipping him forward, forcing him to fight hard.
"Brother Regnar..." Irene burst into tears when she heard Regnar's answer.
Regna couldn't bear it, so he could only pat her shoulder, and then said: "Don't worry, I told you that I am very strong, how could I fall down so easily? Moreover, I promise you here, if I really When I can’t hold on any longer, I will tell you, tell you all. Trust me, okay?”
"..." Irene withdrew from Regnar's arms. She looked at Regnar's serious and determined expression, and finally she could only nod lightly.
"Okay, I won't care about your affairs today, but you have to promise me that you can handle it yourself, promise me?" Regnar touched Eileen's little head.
"Yeah." Erin nodded vigorously.
"Very good, I promise you one thing, and you promise me one thing, then we have made an agreement, remember? What if someone breaks the agreement?" Regnar asked with a smile.
"Then who is the puppy!" Erin finally laughed.
"That's it!" Regnar nodded with satisfaction: "This is my Irene!"
