The Path of Ascension to the Priest

The position of the priest in the Holy See cannot be vacant for too long. Monica made the selection, and did not seek Bishop Lal's opinion. After the baptism of light on Sunday, she announced the selection of the priest to others.

Grace Barton and Linda Mancini.

The expected answer. After all, as long as the priests who have been to Vandent have seen that Monica attaches great importance to the blond priest, and her power of light is indeed surprising, it is only a matter of time before she is promoted to a priest.

It's just...has the blond priest been in the Holy See for more than ten days?

It's really enviable, whether it's peeking at Tang Qiu or the priests staring at her openly, the same sentence popped up in their hearts.

After the baptism of light, Tang Qiu left the auditorium with the flow of people. Jennifer came to her side over the priest in front. Although she had mixed feelings in her heart, she still congratulated her, "Congratulations."

Jennifer was originally a popular candidate for the priest, so it's fine if she didn't beat Linda, and she lost to Tang Qiu, who had just entered the Holy See, and lost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The priests were all guessing that she must be in a bad mood. Seeing that she took the initiative to approach Tang Qiu, they all looked over curiously, and some worried that they would quarrel, and there was worry on their faces.

However, they were all disappointed. Although Jennifer was very sad, her blessings to Tang Qiu were sincere, and she didn't mean to come here to find fault.

Tang Qiu looked sideways at Jennifer, smiled, nodded, "Thank you."

Jennifer has a slow personality, and after saying congratulations, she never spoke again, and Tang Qiu, who always took the initiative to adjust the atmosphere, didn't know what she was thinking, and was always a little absent-minded. After the two walked for a while in silence, Jennifer frowned, deliberately slowing down her steps to distance herself from Tang Qiu.

"I'm very sorry about Priest Secia's matter." Tang Qiu sensed Jennifer's uneasiness. She calmed down and actively opened her mouth to find a topic, saying, "It happened so suddenly that we didn't even notice it."

Jennifer is also the attendant priest of the Scythian priests.

"It's not your fault, it's the blood race's fault."

Speaking of the vampire who killed the priest of Secia, Tang Qiu frowned, "I wonder if the vampire who killed the priest of Secia is the one hiding in the town of Kafu." She described Lola's characteristics again.

Jennifer's face became ugly, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's her."

Tang Qiu's eyes widened a little, and a hint of confusion flashed in the sky blue pupils. If it was really the six-generation blood clan hiding in Kraft Town, why did she appear in Rose Manor?

Happened to be hunting there?

Tang Qiu frowned. She always felt that the timing of Lola's appearance was very strange. She pondered for a while, and when she was about to say something, a voice interrupted her. Linda left her circle of priests and came to talk to them. They walked side by side.

"Congratulations, Grace." Linda's face was pale. Although the wound on the side of her neck had subsided, it hadn't completely healed, which made her look very stiff when she turned her head.

Tang Qiu smiled softly: "Thank you, I also want to say congratulations to you."

Linda smiled slightly, then lowered her head, hesitated for a while, and then whispered: "Actually, I'm here to apologize to you."

"I said some bad things to you before and did some wrong things. I didn't give you any help when you just came to the Holy See."

Linda raised her head, with a regretful expression on her face, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She raised her hand and touched her neck, laughing at herself, "Maybe this injury is the punishment given by the Goddess of Light for my narrow mind."

Tang Qiu looked at her in surprise, then smiled and shook his head, "No need to apologize, I didn't take it to heart." She really didn't keep Linda's little action in mind.

Because to her, it wasn't enough to make her value.

"Thank you for forgiving me." Linda thought Tang Qiu had accepted the apology, she put her right hand on her left shoulder, bowed slightly, and spoke sincerely.

Tang Qiu also bowed to her, looking thoughtfully at her back as she turned away, while Jennifer looked at Linda's leaving direction with a slightly moved expression, and whispered: "She was just stunned by jealousy. mind."

Tang Qiu turned his head and looked at Jennifer delicately. Jennifer noticed her gaze and frowned back, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Tang Qiu shook his head, paused, and suddenly said with a smile, "Would you like to be my entourage priest?" Every priest can choose two entourage priests.

Her time in the Holy See was too short, and she knew a few priests, but she didn't have a thorough understanding of their personalities. On the contrary, Jennifer, who usually communicated less, left a good impression on her heart.

However, Tang Qiu's sincere invitation brought Jennifer a cold face, "I don't want to."

Tang Qiu looked at her with a smile, and Jennifer looked away uncomfortably. After a moment of silence, she whispered, "...I need to think about it."

They just walked to the door of Jennifer's room. After she finished thinking about it, she turned around and opened the door, and glanced back before closing the door. The blond priest had soft eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He was not annoyed by her refusal .

To be promoted to a priest requires a special baptism of light. In the Holy See of Bill, the leader is Bishop Lal.

Tang Qiu didn't have a deep impression of Bishop Lal. Although this person was transferred here from the Central Holy See, he had no sense of existence at all. Many matters of the Holy See were handled by Monica.

Even the king of the Bill Empire would go directly to Monica if he needed anything.

Among the bishops assigned by the Holy See to various empires, only Bishop Lal has no sense of presence.

Bishop Lal was over half a century old, and his hair was covered with hoarfrost. He stood in front of the statue of the Goddess of Light with a staff in his hand, looked at Tang Qiu and Linda below, and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, it's just a baptism of light." That's all, just close your eyes and enjoy it."

As he spoke, he raised his staff and chanted the incantation in a low voice. The incantation was very long. Tang Qiu raised his head and looked at him three times in doubt, only to see the soft white light slowly falling on her and Linda.

The power of the bishop's light is very pure, giving her a feeling that her body and mind are being washed.

The power of light in the body was washed over and over again. Tang Qiu calmed down and felt it, and could clearly find that the power of light was becoming pure.

Time passed bit by bit, and when Bishop Lal finally put away the staff, sweat broke out on his forehead. The baptism of light consumes a lot of power of light. He raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and immediately took Two bottles of bright holy water were produced and drank.

Tang Qiu and Linda thanked each other politely. Seeing that Bishop Lal waved to them with a tired face, he left with interest.

The new priest has a lot of things to be busy with. In addition to choosing his own entourage priest, he also has to assist Monica in handling the affairs of the Holy See. Before he finds his field of expertise, the new priest needs to intervene in everything.

Tang Qiu had been busy for more than ten days in a row, and she didn't even have time to look through the intermediate light spell books. When she finally had some free time, she realized that the full moon night was approaching.

A tavern in the main city.

Tang Qiu supported her chin with one hand, while the other hand casually shook the light green liquid in the glass. She had a wide cloak covering her priestly attire, and her long golden hair was softly attached to her back. Because of her leaning action, she ran in front of her mischievously, her hair was slightly curled up.

There are more than a dozen bottles of bright holy water in front of her, and the number is still increasing.

Irene proudly took out two teleportation scrolls and handed them to Tang Qiu, "Your reward."

Tang Qiu raised his eyebrows, picked up a scroll with his slender fingers, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are very satisfied with what you have gained in Vendent."

She didn't miss the picture of Irene taking off the witch's white robe with great interest in Vendent, although she didn't know what the white robe was for.

Irene nodded happily, feeling very good, "Very satisfied indeed."

The robe worn by the witch represents the status of the witch in the witch world. Although the white robe only symbolizes three generations, but because of the mystery of the witch, the white robe can be sold at Mark's grocery store for a very good price.

Not to mention that there are many uncommon materials in Laurel's space gem, and it would be a fortune to take out any of them and sell them.

Irene's soon-to-be-empty Space Gem was filled again, which made her less heartbroken when she gave rewards to Eva, Tang Qiu and others.

Tang Qiu shook her head and laughed. She noticed that the people in the tavern were secretly looking at the things on their tables, so she raised her hand to put away all the holy water and scrolls, and then asked casually, "What are your plans next?"

Irene sighed and said, "I may have to leave Bill's Empire."

"Oh?" Tang Qiu was surprised, "Where are you going?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Irene blinked, "Maybe go to another country."

"I am a bard yearning for freedom, and wandering in different countries is my destination." Irene was pretending to be talking about her ideals in a deep voice, when a small gray ball of hair suddenly jumped out of her hood , jumped onto her head, lowered her head and looked straight at Tang Qiu with her gray eyes.

"Hey, didn't I tell you to hide it?" Irene grabbed the hair ball and said angrily.

This is the little fur ball they picked up from the Rose Manor. Tang Qiu reached out and grabbed the hair ball, looked at it curiously, and asked doubtfully, "What the hell is this?"

The hairball was still so small, the same as when she first saw it, and her eyes were a little silly.

Irene glanced around nervously, hesitated for a moment, bent over and whispered, "I suspect it's a monster."

Tang Qiu paused his hand, lifted the little furball's chin with his thumb to measure it carefully, and said in a deep voice, "...the lion man?"

But the color and appearance are not right.

Irene shook her head, "Actually, I don't know what kind of monster it is. There is no record in the summoning book."

Tang Qiu returned the hairball and said flatly, "Since it's a monster, let's kill it directly." There's no need to guess its species.

Irene held the hair ball tightly, and said falteringly: "...don't you think it's cute?"

She also thought about killing it directly, but she was a little bit reluctant to do so.

Tang Qiu glanced at it, then shrugged, "It's okay." She's not a fluff fan.

Irene silently put the little hair ball back into the hood, and decided to skip this topic.

Because Irene was leaving the Bill Empire, it was still unknown whether the two of them would meet again in the future, so Tang Qiu did not leave in a hurry, but chatted with Irene for a while.

After time travelling, the first person she saw was Irene. She was wary and suspicious of her, but in the end they got along very well.

This person is full of mysteries, and Tang Qiu will be curious, but she doesn't want to reach out to disperse the fog, so she accepted Irene's statement that she wandered around the world, and sent her sincere blessings.

After bidding farewell to Irene, the sky was getting dark. Tang Qiu did not go back to the Holy See, but went to Lucille's manor. She has been in the Holy See since she left in Vandent last time, and has not contacted Lucille. .

The location of the manor is a bit remote. Tang Qiu walked through several streets and walked for a while before arriving at the door. A few roses showed their beauty to the outside through the white fence. The maid packed up the manor and was about to leave. , looked up and saw Tang Qiu, she was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously: "What's the matter, Your Excellency?"

Tang Qiu took off his hood, smiled at the maid and said, "I'm here to find Lucille."

The maid knew the blond priest, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then replied: "Lord Lucille is not at the manor."

Tang Qiu was taken aback for a moment, and asked softly, "Can you tell me where she went?"

"I don't know." The maid shook her head, "Mistress Lucille left more than ten days ago and has never returned."

"Maybe back to Eddie."

The smile on the corner of Tang Qiu's mouth was slightly restrained, and his brows were furrowed. Did Lucille go back to Adriatic?
