Water and Fire Twins Magician

However, this process seems to be more complicated than Gandalf and Jacques imagined...

This year, the priest team still followed the convention and did not receive any visitors for the first three days after arriving at Masala Ridge. They only received the highest standard reception from Lord Tutu. This was a closed-door reception. In name, it was to baptize and bless the Lord, cleanse his sins, and improve his faith, but in reality...

Jacques finally got a clue as to what kind of person Lord Tutu was and why a place like Marsala Ridge, which was almost a remote place, had a relatively rich standard of living.

The old priests who had just received the lord's hospitality all looked drunk and unsteady on their feet. Based on his experience in his previous life, Jacques knew at a glance that these people had indulged in excessive drinking and sex.

Maybe Marsala Ridge is really too remote, and the temple doesn't pay much attention to this place, so the people sent here don't have a high level of faith?

Since the chief priest could barely stand up after the revelry, the other priests followed the custom and solemnly took out the so-called holy objects: the scroll of "Mass Production Attribute Inspection Magic Circle" and the "Goddess Blessing Seal" blessed with the Holy Water of the True Goddess.

The priests unfolded the scroll, and a circle of flickering blue light immediately shot out from it. It was full of spell symbols, forming a circular magic circle. A large amount of water elements gathered in it, rotating continuously to form a magic curtain.

According to Gandalf, the principle of this magic is to create a bathing effect through the magic curtain to determine the baby's affinity to the water element.

Of course, only Jacques could see the water elemental curtain with his naked eyes. But even so, the common people were still amazed when they saw such a gorgeous magic circle unfold.

Gandalf scoffed at this: "Tsk, this scroll is the same no matter who opens it. It has nothing to do with these priests."

Jacques scratched his head.

"You may be wondering, since the scroll can allow people without magic power to cast high-level magic, why hasn't it been popularized yet?" Gandalf asked himself and answered: "The reason is very simple. The cost of making this kind of magic scroll is very high. Let's put it this way, the cost of buying such a magic scroll is higher than hiring a mercenary wizard who knows the same magic."

That means this is the temple showing off its financial strength, right?

"But the 'Goddess's Blessing Seal' is a treasure." Gandalf went on to say, "Last year, a fellow from our Prada Mercenary Group 'picked up' one and sold it for 20 million gold coins! Of course, with this thing, you can go around and be a charlatan. It's worth the price."

Jacques thought, what kind of world is this? Priests obsessed with wine, sex and money, mercenaries who kill and rob... This world doesn't seem to be any better than the previous one.

"Isn't it amazing? The Prada Mercenaries can even get treasures like the Goddess' Blessing Seal. This is the 389th reason why the great Laputa Mercenaries must join. As for the 390th..."

Have you said enough? Jacques only hated that he couldn't speak.

From the perspective of an onlooker, the climax of the ceremony was no different from slaughtering a pig.

The babies were placed on the altar, and the priests judged their innate attributes by the light flashing from the magic circle. They then chanted a spell that no one could understand, and then imprinted a wave-shaped mark, and the job was done.

"This kind of scroll is easy to fool. Remember, use all the results of your training over the past few months to circulate the water magic element throughout your body and wrap yourself up. Especially, you must hide the ball of 'fire' in your abdomen and never let the power of the magic circle penetrate it. Do you understand?"

Jacques nodded slightly.

"Hey, don't be so serious! You are a six-month-old baby! You have been acting for six months, keep acting! Give me some acting skills that will surpass your level!"

For Jacques, this may be the most difficult part.

"Huh? The young master seems to be more well-behaved and cute today than usual!" The maid touched Jacques' little face.

"Yes, the young master seems to understand the rules and doesn't clamor for milk... Look! He smiles so sweetly~" The maids also smiled with their eyes narrowed.

Beruni, as always, looked at Jacques with love, bent down and kissed him gently on the forehead before handing him over to the priest assistants.

When Jacques was carried into the magic circle, the spell on the ground immediately flashed an almost blinding blue light.

The priests who were just reminiscing about last night's pleasure suddenly widened their eyes and became completely sober.

This is an unprecedented brightness. How strong is this baby’s affinity for water?

This kid is a... genius?
