Water and Fire Twins Magician

After walking along the wilderness path for two days, we finally left the wilderness. There were more and more houses around us, the path became wider, and for the first time, branches appeared.

Paul rolled his eyes and said, "Master Jacques, I suggest taking the path on the left. It will only take about three days to reach the two parishes under my jurisdiction, and we can take a good rest. Or, I will just give these two parishes to Master Jacques to manage!"

"You fat pig, are you going to violate the soul contract?" Gandalf protested immediately. If the two parishes were handed over to Jacques to manage, wouldn't that be equivalent to letting Jacques directly enter the Church of Light?

"Old man, calm down. Have you forgotten? When I was injured and stranded in the ruins of Chu, I was helped by Master Jacques. I promised to give him two parishes as a thank you gift, and you agreed at that time."

"You mean the profits from the two parishes! You should give him the money you earn instead of letting him manage the parish directly! Do you still want him to be a priest?" Gandalf said dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. I, Lord Jacques, am of noble status. How can I condescend to be a mere priest? What I mean is, instead of waiting for the profits, it is better to take over directly. In addition to money, there are many other benefits, hehe..." Paul showed his signature obscene smile.

"...Jacques, what do you think?" Gandalf didn't want to continue talking to him.

"Hmm... I think we should go to some villages and towns to rest for a while. As for managing the parish, that's another matter entirely..."

"Haha, it's okay, let's go take a look first." Two thin arms grew out of Paul's slime body. He rubbed his hands and said, "I can guarantee that these two parishes are rich. I'm sure they will like it after seeing it~"

"...That's not what I meant." Jacques was speechless. He just wanted to find a place to rest his feet, calm himself down, and think about his next goal.

Since Jacques had no objection, they continued their journey along the path on the left.

After walking for about two days, the originally flat path gradually became upward, and there were more flowers along the way, with fragrance everywhere and colorful butterflies flying. The view was full of vitality, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Looking from the hillside by the road, you can see endless hills and basins in the distance. There are some small villages clustered in the basins, connected by roads. The two dioceses mentioned by Paul are located between two adjacent basins, separated only by a short hill. There is a group of buildings on the hill, the tallest of which is the church of the Church of Light, which can overlook the entire scope of the two dioceses, which can be said to be in a very advantageous location.

So, after letting Paul hide, Jacques knocked directly on the church door.

The person who responded was a muscular man with grease all over his mouth and hands, as if he was having a big meal. In short, his appearance was totally inconsistent with the priest robe he was wearing.

"Oh? A kid I've never seen before." The muscular man wiped the fat from his mouth and said to Jacques with a kind face, "May the God of Light bless you. What can I do for you?"

Although Paul repeatedly told him to answer "May the God of Light bless you", Jacques couldn't open his mouth. After a second of embarrassment, he coughed a few times and inadvertently opened his collar, revealing a red badge on it. It was the badge of the Church of Light.

"I'm here to see Assistant Father Hurd."

The badge exuded a faint holy light, which was unique to the Church of Light. Its color represented the rank, and red represented the cardinal, who was the highest official in the Church of Light after the Pope. This badge was equivalent to Paul's token.

The muscular man naturally recognized it. He stared at it for two seconds with wide eyes, and immediately became respectful: "Yes, yes, please wait a moment."

He didn't dare to delay for a moment and quickly turned around and ran inside, he must be looking for someone.

Soon, a white-haired old man with a big smile appeared at the door: "Are you a friend of Cardinal Paul?"

"Yes, Lord Paul will be visiting soon. Lord Hurd, please prepare plenty of holy water."

This sentence is a code word, meaning that Paul was being harmed, his situation was critical, and he urgently needed to be saved.

As Paul's confidant, Hud naturally understood the meaning of the code word. His face turned pale instantly, and then he nervously called on everyone in the church to take care of everything.

Then he led Jacques around the church and rested in a two-story, magnificently decorated house behind the church.
