Water and Fire Twins Magician

By the next day, Paul had fully recovered.

When Jacques found him in the church, he was already wearing a gorgeous red brocade robe, a jeweled crown on his head, a huge dazzling gem on the scepter in his hand, and even his thick neck was hung with strings of necklaces, and his whole body was emitting jewels.

"And all this is to glorify the almighty God of light in heaven!" These are Paul's original words. The subtext is: You see, I have gained so much by following the God of light as his younger brother!

At this time, Paul was "blessing" and the people gathered in the audience were farmers, craftsmen, hunters, etc. from nearby dioceses. They were all very moved by the cardinal's visit.

Paul chanted something like "You must believe in the God of Light completely. The God of Light will grant you happiness, wealth, peace and joy. You must dedicate everything to the God of Light," and then sprinkled holy water on the believers.

These holy waters are naturally blessed by magic. The believers who touch the holy waters feel happy and cheerful, and their skin becomes healthy and glowing.

"Finally, I am very happy to announce to everyone that the two closely connected parishes, Holy Water Village and Flower Village, will be taken over by Master Jacques, who is closer to the God of Light, greater and more noble than me!" Paul suddenly pointed at Jacques who was standing in the corner with his hands folded: "Master Jacques! Please use your divine power on behalf of the God of Light to bless us lost lambs!"

The focus of the whole audience naturally shifted to Jacques. Jacques looked at everyone in astonishment and embarrassment, forcing a smile.

The party lasted for quite a while before it ended. Poor Jacques, who finally had a night's rest, was exhausted from dealing with these fanatical villagers. He fell on the sofa, still not used to the feeling of being worshipped like a god by strangers. It seemed to be more tiring than fighting monsters in the Chu Ruins.

"How is it? It feels good to be worshipped by others, right?" Paul appeared in front of Jacques with a lewd smile, with a pretty and graceful young woman in each of his arms, and his chubby hands roaming freely around their slender waists.

When Jacques was introduced as the new priest of the parish, all the believers present believed him without any hesitation.

Although Jacques' appearance and physique appear more mature than those of his peers, he looks like a child in his early teens at most. How could he be a high-ranking official in the Church of Light?

But the believers not only did not doubt it, but also speculated that Jacques was the "Angel of Light" from the world of light. Even though Jacques denied it repeatedly, everyone just thought he was being modest, and thus believed it more firmly. They thought that the Angel of Light was just testing whether their faith was firm.

Everyone knelt and worshipped around Jacques, and held his hand to touch their heads, begging the angels to bless them. Jacques could only say auspicious words to them, such as "good health" and "everything goes well", and even accidentally said "Congratulations on your prosperity", and everyone accepted it.

Moreover, Paul and Hudt endorsed Jacques and spread holy water to everyone at all costs behind him to support him, which made everyone feel that Jacques was even more powerful.

Seeing that Jacques didn't seem to enjoy it, Paul laughed in his heart: "You are just a child. You don't know how many people dream of having power. But once you get used to it, you will soon become addicted."

He said to Jacques with a smile: "The position of acting priest of this parish will allow Master Jacques to manage the parish as a non-Christian. You don't have to worry. This definitely does not mean that you are forced to join the Church of Light. Just treat it as a temporary experience."

"Hmph, the fat guy's little calculations are very good, but when it comes to flattery, he can't compare to you." Gandalf was so angry that his teeth were itching, but Paul's words were so flawless that he could not find any handle.

“Don’t be in a hurry to make a decision. Stay a few more days, rest, walk around, and experience how great it is to be the bishop’s vicar.” Paul laughed.

Thus, in the next few days, Jacques wandered around the pleasant countryside. Jacques already had some ideas about how he would develop in this world, but his future goals definitely did not include staying to manage the two parishes.

Even though this was the highest achievement he had ever achieved in his two lives, the world outside was vast and this was only the first stop of his journey. How could Jacques be willing to stop here?

From his previous life experience, he certainly knew what it meant to have two villages and a group of fanatical believers, but Jacques did not want to be too close to Paul, who tried to curry his favor. Therefore, the best option at the moment should be to refuse. He was not worried that Paul would turn against him because these two dioceses were just a drop in the bucket for Paul, and Paul was naturally very clear about which was more important between them and the inheritor of the Heavenly Fire.

With this mentality, Jacques rested and enjoyed a few days without any burden.

But these peaceful days were soon broken.
