After this exchange, Zhao Xu was probably aware of Lei An's frivolous speaking style.
"Also, you don't think you could really hit Antinoya just now, do you?" Leian said.
Zhao Xu shook his head, he still knew what he was doing.
And listening to Leian's tone, Shaya knew something was wrong.
It stands to reason that Antinoya can also cast the "Rainbow Spell" spell, which can also resist one of his attacks.
"Fortunately, you are not like me. Back then, I thought I really hit my mentor, which made me happy for a long time." Leian suddenly fell into a nostalgic mood.
Zhao Xu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Why did this sound a bit like the bell grabbing scene in a certain anime
"Actually, you can't cast any spells in front of Antinoya. Because we mages can perform 'counter-spells' and are fully capable of maintaining a high degree of suppression against rookies like you. But this is a digression. , we will talk about it after you have received the 'Spell Identification' skill training."
Next, Leian also teleported him directly to Mystra below.
This is also half a month after Zhao Xu once again set foot on the real land of Arthur.
He breathed the air on the surface and felt that it had a different taste.
The Temple of the Goddess of Magic and the Sacred Heart Cathedral, the church's headquarters, are adjacent to each other.
The temple was expanded based on the structure of the goddess's residence before she became a god.
The Sacred Heart Cathedral is built closely adjacent to each other. The daily affairs of the church are carried out in the inner hall, while the outer hall is where believers pray and believe in gods.
Many research institutions and organizations at the headquarters of the Mage Association are arranged on the floating city.
Therefore, the entire temple and church cover a large area in the city.
Even the city of Mystra began to expand with it as the center, radiating out in a star-like shape.
As the most central place for believers, the outer area of the Sacred Heart Church is always crowded with people.
Zhao Xu already realized this on the first day he came here.
This time he returned here, only to find that the crowd was so dense that he couldn't squeeze in.
Logically speaking, churches usually tend to be more bustling when they are closer to the inside. Unexpectedly, at this moment, it was already like this around the outermost perimeter.
"Today is the birthday of the goddess, that's what it is." Leian explained.
Zhao Xu also nodded when he heard this.
In their previous life, their family lived in a bitter and cold land in the north, where most of the residents believed in the God of Justice, the God of War, and the like.
On God’s birthday, local churches will send blessings to believers.
Among them, the most popular ones are those holy waters that usually cost 25 GP to buy.
Holy water is given away for free on God’s birthday, so it’s not an exaggeration to grab a lot of it.
It's just that they are in the privileged land of the south, and the residents of Mystra are just like the residents of the capitals of the earth.
Not to mention being superior to others, at least the standard of living is ranked high among all Arthur's towns.
Even if you look carefully at the crowd in front of you, many of them are wearing decent clothes, and they don't look like poor people.
At intersections farther away, horse-drawn carriages were restricted from entering.
"It is possible that the goddess will come to the main plane of Arthur on the birthday of the god." Leian explained, "So, it is very likely that the goddess will receive divine grace today and officially become a priest."
Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this.
Although he felt that his chance of becoming a level 1 priest was 99%, but it would be worth it if he could make up for the last 100%.
Arthur's priest basically has two routes.
The first one is to be trained as a pastor from a young age, to study spiritual teachings step by step in the local church, and to do some basic professional training.
Then, wait.
Until the gods feel pious, they will go straight to the point of becoming a real level 1 priest from a trainee.
If the route of a mage apprentice is difficult first and then easy, then the route of a trainee priest is easy first and then difficult.
In fact, most of the people present at the Mage Apprentice Awakening Ceremony that Zhao Xu participated in that day would succeed.
But for trainee priests, there are still a lot of senior ones waiting in line, waiting for God to see their piety.
Because the number of priests of the gods is also limited, otherwise they can have one priest and directly become the number one power in the mainland.
Another route for the priest is to win the favor of the gods and directly select the priest.
When people like this come to the church, they have basically experienced it and received some training.
Therefore, Zhao Xu is fully confident that he will complete the priest training within a week.
Speaking of which, Zhao Xu was also filled with emotion.
His wife in his previous life was also an Earthling.
After traveling through time, she was appreciated by Bella, the local goddess of luck, and accepted as a trainee priest.
However, her wife wasted two years and failed to become an official pastor.
At that time, the earth traveled many miles, and the player group that had transformed into an upper-class force was slowly reaching the marriage stage.
Zhao Xu served as the town's police chief for the past two years. He performed well and had a good reputation, so he knew everything.
With no hope of breaking through, his wife also got together with Zhao Xu to get married and have children with the help of her parents.
On this earth, if there is no time travel.
The other party, Bai Fumei, who came from a famous aristocratic family, was completely beyond the reach of his original class.
He even has no way to inform the other party now.
But one day, he will let Arthur's poets sing about his fame.
"Brother Lei An, why don't we teleport in directly?" Zhao Xu, who had come back to his senses, couldn't help but ask when he saw that Lei An was still lining up with peace of mind.
"Whenever the president comes, he always enters through the front entrance." Leian said angrily. "You can fly in directly as a priest in the future, but I can't."
"Brother Leian, are you not a priest?"
"Nonsense, anyone in the association can work part-time as a priest, but I, the liaison officer, cannot. Otherwise, I would be the liaison officer of the association, or the liaison officer of the Goddess Church."
When Zhao Xu heard this, he immediately knew that he had thought too little.
Although he was among the upper echelons of the town in his previous life, he had not yet reached the level of heaven. Any lord could crush him to death.
"But the liaison officer shouldn't have to wait in line stupidly." Zhao Xu said angrily.
To put it bluntly, someone like Lei An would be considered an ambassador on earth.
Not to mention privileges, you should also have basic etiquette.
"I informed you when I came. Who knows what went wrong in the church today that took so long. Normally I would lead you to jump in the queue or drive the crowd in with a random spell, but how dare I do it today on God's birthday."
Suddenly, a middle-aged priest in white robe walked out.
When the believers around saw the pastor coming out, they all consciously spread out in a way.
The outer door of the church, which was originally packed like dumplings in a scenic spot, suddenly gave way to a three-person wide path.
"Mr. Leian, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." The pastor bowed his head slightly to apologize.
"It's okay, hurry in, this guy is going to be a priest." Lei An said nonchalantly, pulling Zhao Xu's robe and walking forward.
Zhao Xu was wearing a cloak at the moment, with the same shape as Antinoya. His entire head was shrouded in shadow, cutting off the sight of the curious crowd around him.
The priest glanced at Zhao Xu one more time, nodded in the same direction and said, "Then please follow me in."
After the middle-aged pastor said this, Zhao Xu and the two of them hurriedly followed. Who knew if they would get dumped again if they took a few steps too slowly.
The exterior walls of the Sacred Heart Cathedral are all reliefs showing the goddess's miracles.
The door threshold is not a square stone threshold, but a half-arched stone pillar side, as if half buried in the ground.
After the first two people walked over, Zhao Xu followed suit.
Suddenly, he felt his mind go numb.
At this time, melodious bells also came from the temple behind the church.
One wave after another.
"Praise the goddess." The middle-aged pastor quickly lowered his head and prayed silently.
Countless people around him also bowed their heads in prayer, and some even knelt down on the spot.
"The goddess has arrived." Leian whispered.
Zhao Xu was a little confused, in his mind.
It seems like there are more magical spell slots
PS1: Thank you to Taoist Master V of the Nine Domains for the two rewards. Thank you very much.
PS2: I thought differently before. If the protagonist does not have a level 3 mage, he cannot use the extra level 2 spell slots brought by intelligence, so I changed it in the first two chapters.
