The Cathedral of Holy Light was the second largest cathedral in the Frey Kingdom. Apart from the Cathedral of God's Blessing in Frey City, this cathedral in Quirrell City, the eastern city of Frey, was another center of the Church of Light in the Frey Kingdom.
When the last rays of the setting sun were about to dissipate, Qin Mufeng and the Daur priest, the old and the young, finally arrived at Qiluo City. This was because the Daur priest's priest robe and the armored soldiers did not collect the entrance tax from them. After entering Quirrell City, the Daur priest brought Qin Mufeng straight to the Holy Brilliance Cathedral.
Along the way, there were devout believers worshipping the Daur priest who was wearing a sacrificial robe. Qin Mufeng, who was following behind the Daur priest, looked at the holy Daur and thought to himself," It seemed that being a priest was not a bad idea. At least it would not be a problem for him to eat and drink. If Daur knew Qin Mufeng's motive for joining the cult, he would definitely be humiliated!
Following the flow of people, a tall church appeared in front of Qin Mufeng. In his previous life, although Qin Mufeng had never traveled to Europe before, he had seen many pictures of churches. Looking at the churches that were no different from those pictures, Qin Mufeng felt as if he had traveled to ancient Europe.
Just as Qin Mufeng was carefully sizing up the pointed dome of the cathedral and the white stone arch, the Daur priest who was walking in front of him had already walked towards the entrance of the cathedral. Qin Mufeng looked at the Daur priest who was striding forward and hurriedly followed.
"Aiya, isn't this the sacred Daur sacrifice? You haven't been here for a long time. Could it be that your Light Arte has advanced? That's a cause for celebration!" A young man in a white sacrificial robe walked out with a mocking expression.
The Daur priest ignored the priest's teasing and continued walking forward with Qin Mufeng. However, he ignored him, but the young priest did not want to let him go. Seeing Daur's submissive attitude, he became even more arrogant. "Why, Daur, your divine arts can't have really improved, right? If that's the case, I think even High Priest Reese will personally celebrate for you!”
Qin Mufeng was disgusted by this priest's harshness. Although he did not have much contact with Daur, he could tell that this introverted and dull old priest had a good character. Qin Mufeng was naturally unhappy when he saw this arrogant person making things difficult for the old priest. But now, he didn't have the ability to stand up for Daur. The only thing he could do was to support him mentally!
"Priestess Mary, I'm sorry to make a fool of myself. My divine arts haven't improved. I'm going to find Priest Bate now. Please make way.”Daur knew that Mary was deliberately teasing him, but he was not angry. His expression was as calm as ever as he spoke coldly.
Mary looked at Qin Mufeng who was following behind Daur and seemed to understand something. Looking at Daur, Mary laughed heartily. There was mockery, contempt, and even a hint of schadenfreude. "Priest Daur, you still don't know? Priest Bate should now address you as the One Star High Priest of Bate! He had cultivated a level-6 divine spell and was now transferred to the Cathedral of God's Blessing in Frey City!”
"Oh, I see. Which priest is in charge of accepting apprentices now?”When he heard that Priest Bate had left, Priest Daur's expression could not help but darken, and his heart was filled with sorrow. In the Holy Brilliance Cathedral, Priest Bate was one of the few people who had the closest relationship with him.
Looking at Daur's disappointed face, the smile on Mary's face widened. He grinned and pointed at the two silver dots on his chest. He said proudly,""Daur, your luck isn't bad. You met me the moment you arrived! Let me tell you, the one in charge of recruiting apprentices is the two-star priest, Mairi. Did you bring this kid here to recommend him as an apprentice?”
Qin Mufeng knew that it would not be easy for him to enter the Church of Light. Just by looking at this fellow in front of him, one could tell that he would probably not have a good life in the future!
Just as Qin Mufeng was secretly complaining incessantly in his heart, the Daur priest's extremely disappointed face became even gloomier. However, after some consideration, he still forced a smile and said politely," Congratulations on your promotion, Priest Mary!" Then, she pulled Qin Mufeng's hand and said,""Priest Mary, this child is devoted to God. Please arrange for him.”
In the Church of Light, priests like Daur who presided over a church had the right to send apprentices to the cathedral above him. Generally speaking, as long as they sent apprentices, the cathedral would accept them unconditionally. Therefore, the priest who was in charge of accepting apprentices was now his enemy, and the priest of Daur was only polite.
Speaking of the grudges between Daur and Priest Mary, there was also the matter of Qin Mufeng's grandfather, Xi Jinglei. A few years ago, when there was a vacancy in the priest position of the cathedral in Green Jade City, Priest Mary had already lobbied through the upper and lower levels that everything was ready. In the end, Xi Jing Lei found the three-star high priest, Riser, who was in charge of the Holy Brilliance Cathedral, and forcefully changed it to Daur.
Priest Mirany did not dare to offend a grade-9 expert like Xi Jing Lei, but this incident had left a deep psychological scar on him. From then on, whenever he saw Daur, he would always make sarcastic insinuations. Now that Daur had asked him to accept Qin Mufeng, although the hatred in his heart was not enough to reject him blatantly, it was still unavoidable for him to make things difficult for him.
"The person sent by your Daur priest is naturally fine. However, this routine still has to be followed. Come with me." As he spoke, he ignored Daur and walked into the Holy Light Cathedral.
Daur sighed and told Qin Mufeng to let's go. Then, he followed Mary into the cathedral. After entering the church, Priest Mary walked through the hall and came to a small house.
"Here, let me test your attributes first.”Priest Mary casually picked up a small white triangular stone from the table and threw it to Qin Mufeng.
Daur was furious when he saw the triangular stone given by Priest Mary. The rule of testing attributes before entering the church had not been used for more than a thousand years. Although it was not explicitly abolished, it had long since ceased to exist in the eyes of the clergymen. He did not expect Mary to bring out this rule again.
Daur wanted to get angry, but his lips trembled, but he held it in. He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Perhaps this was just a facade and would not be taken seriously. Qin Mufeng, who didn't know what was going on, held the small white stone in his hand curiously.
One minute passed, two minutes passed…As time passed, the white stone did not change at all. On the other hand, the smug look on Mary's face grew. After 15 minutes, Priest Mary finally couldn't help but laugh.""Daur, what are you planning by handing a cripple to the Church?”
