Chapter 22: Marsala Trial?

"My Lord, how long have we known each other? It must have been eight years, if not ten. Trial of Marsala? Give me that. Hahaha!" The chief priest said with a smile: "I understand. Jacques is your child. Tell me, what conditions do you want the temple to set? We have never treated you unfairly."

Tutu still had that nonchalant expression on his face.

"Master Priest, in this country, it is of course very important to maintain a good relationship with the Goddess Temple. My child, who has been appreciated by the Temple, has a promising future. As a father, I am afraid that I am also honored by my son. For the sake of the family and the territory, of course I hope that he can receive the elite education of the Temple as soon as possible..."

"My Lord is indeed wise."

"So, I will arrange for Jacques to pass the Marsala trial as soon as possible. After he passes, I'll trouble the High Priest to visit again." Tutu bowed deeply.

The chief priest thought Tutu had figured it out, but he didn't expect this to happen. He couldn't help but frown.

At the same time, an armrest held a document from Masala Ridge and reported to him, "Master Priest, the Masala Trial did exist in history, just like the rite of passage in other cultural traditions."

This custom has actually been passed down for hundreds of years, but it gradually faded away a few decades ago and has only become known to the public in recent years.

But this trial has a very special meaning for the hereditary lords of the Masala family, because all their members, including the current Tutu Masala, must pass the trial before they can be recognized as true members of the family.

"The Marsala Trial is not a formality. Even someone as casual as me cannot afford to neglect it and cannot get away with it." Tutu said seriously, "This is a major event concerning the teachings of our ancestors and the inheritance of our territory."

When Tutu said this, everyone was shocked. But the ladies in the mansion reacted even more than the priests in the temple.

Of course, Tutu's mention of the inheritance of the territory was almost equivalent to making it clear that Jacques would be his heir. How could the other ladies sit still?

"My Lord...you...you have decided..." Barbara jumped up from the stool, her eyes wide open, looking at her husband.

"The young masters are still young. It seems... please think twice before discussing this now, Lord..."

Tutu pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to be quiet. He looked slightly unhappy, obviously dissatisfied with the ladies' behavior of usurping the throne. After all, he was negotiating with the chief priest of the Goddess Temple, and could not afford any mistakes.

The chief priest had a very complicated expression. He originally thought that Tutu had always been a playboy and had a carefree personality. With the background and power of the Goddess Temple, he should be able to complete the task in a few words. But now he really didn't understand. Tutu obstructed the temple and even leaked the information of the lord candidate. He couldn't figure out Tutu's true thoughts. The so-called Masala Trial must be just a delaying tactic. What was his real purpose?

Seeing the ladies' overreaction, he had some ideas. Perhaps Tutu wanted to buy time and let Jacques take the position of heir firmly before sending him away to avoid further twists and turns?

The chief priest rolled his eyes and said, "Since this matter is so important, I certainly cannot go against the Lord's wishes. But with your ability, it shouldn't take too long for you to pass the Marsala Trial, right? How about I come to pick you up in three months?"

"Just three months, it's a deal." Tutu smiled with satisfaction.

After seeing off the chief priest, everyone had their own thoughts and the hall fell into silence for a while.

Jacques had been sitting in Beruni's arms, witnessing the entire negotiation process. On the surface, he looked innocent and swung his legs, but in fact, his heart was surging and his heart was beating fast.

In fact, Jacques really wanted to leave Masala Ridge and see the outside world. Since his rebirth, he has been staying in Masala Ridge. Although he lives a rich life with no worries about food and clothing, it is still a bit monotonous after living there for a long time.

What's more, there are no cameras or video cameras in this world. The customs and habits of the Love Continent can only be learned from ancient records or the words of the older generation, which makes Jacques even more curious.

But Gandalf destroyed his beautiful expectations. As soon as he heard that the priests were going to take Jacques away, Gandalf started yelling in his head.

"Do you understand what it means to be educated by the high priest in the temple of the goddess Helen? Do you understand what it means to be promoted to be the spokesperson of the goddess Helen in the continent of Love and the wielder of divine power?" said Gandalf.
