Chapter 16 It’s been 19 years. Why hasn’t the owl sent me the admission notice to the magic school yet?
I have to say that civilized society is a good thing, especially the food in civilized society, which is easier to satisfy the stomach than barbecue in the forest.
In the pub, I finally had a bed to sleep on and was finally able to eat food that was not barbecue. The feeling of happiness came so suddenly.
"As expected, humans are such wonderful creatures." Mo Cheng stuffed the last bit of food into his mouth and sighed as a veteran, "In times of peace, we long for war to gain benefits, and in times of war, we long for peace to live well. We get bored with the food we eat every day, but when we experience the life of savages, we realize how wonderful food with the mark of civilization is."
“Only after experiencing suffering can one understand the meaning of happiness.”
"Big brother, are you a priest?" The white-haired little girl tilted her head. Lilia finally remembered to ask about Mo Cheng's origins.
After learning that Lilia had no relatives to rely on, Mo Cheng did not say anything, but silently classified Lilia as a "partner" in the same industry.
It is not Mo Cheng's style to save people and then leave them to fend for themselves. The education he received since he was a child was to "finish what he started" rather than "give up halfway".
Moreover, the tasks on the task bar have not yet been shown as completed, which means that Lilia is not completely out of danger, and it is even more impossible for Mo Cheng to just leave it alone.
That would be no different from letting her die.
"Priest, I'm not one of them yet."
Before the first update of [Foreign Land], his profession was a monk, which to some extent made him a religious person. Moreover, the props for the subsequent legal identity were obtained in Hesen Town, so Mo Cheng would not deny that he was a clergyman.
In other words, with that power of holy light, who in the Church of Orthodoxy would think that he is not a member of the Church of Glorious Light?
"He is obviously a priest of the Church of Light. Why do you say he can be considered as one?" Lilia was puzzled by Mo Cheng's statement. It was obvious that even priests in small places could not reach that level of holy light power.
"Because I am currently only a member of a monastic order under the Church of Glory, and I have not yet passed the priest exam."
There are different religious orders within the Church of the True God, such as the Pilgrims, the Confessors, the Relief Society, etc. Under the premise of not deviating from the supreme will of the church, the subordinates of the church perform their duties and obey and carry out the tasks assigned by the church.
Each order also has the function of providing talents to the church. It is not difficult to become a priest of the Glorious Church. As long as the Holy Light power meets the requirements and passes the [exam], it will be fine.
That's right, an exam, a real test. Its rigor and breadth were almost as high as the civil service exam in the world before Mo Cheng traveled through time.
The priests of the Orthodox Church can move freely in various countries without being stopped, and because the Church of Light is one of the few churches whose priests generally have healing abilities, even if they are on the battlefield, as long as they do not explicitly attack a certain party, generally no one will deliberately attack the priests.
They are more like Doctors Without Borders from the world before Mo Cheng traveled through time.
Of course, priests who died from unknown AOEs did appear frequently.
"Besides, I have no plans to take the exam for the time being."
After Mo Cheng came to this world, he found that although Lilia and other people did not speak any language he knew, he could understand them, and their words could be understood by others. Even the words could be transformed into meanings that he understood in his eyes.
But there is a very serious problem. Mo Cheng cannot write the language of this place, and the system on his body does not have the function to convert the words he writes into the language of the Principality of Aundair.
Mo Cheng is considered semi-illiterate in this place, and can't even write his own name.
"Hey, why?"
Why?
Whether it was the fact that he was semi-illiterate or that his identity could not withstand verification, it seemed that it was not so easy to say it out loud. So Mo Cheng simply laughed: "Yeah, why?"
Mo Cheng changed the subject and said, "I just asked, the Gilded Rose's convoy will leave tomorrow, and we can get two free seats to go to the capital together."
Originally, if you want to follow the convoy, you need to pay. However, after Mo Cheng showed his Holy Light Baptism in front of the convoy manager, the manager directly said that not only do you not need to pay, but also provide food and lodging.
The treatment is much better than those miserable mercenaries who follow cars.
This is understandable. The convoy is afraid of encountering monsters and bandits when they are out. Injuries are inevitable in the event of a battle. The priest of the Glorious Church with healing ability following the convoy is simply a life-saving talisman.
"Go to the capital?!"
"Aren't you going to school in September? Now that you're leaving for the capital, there are still a lot of things to worry about. You really won't have much free time."
The speed of the convoy itself will not be very fast. Even if it only stops for supplies at necessary places along the way, it is estimated that it will still take a month to reach the capital from the border town of Hesen.
Furthermore, it is spring now, and some creatures along the route will attack the caravans on the road due to their estrus period and their large populations, thus controlling their numbers.
Some caravans are also happy to get more supplies on the road for free or even for money, so if the journey is delayed, it is not impossible to take an extra month and a half.
It's not that there aren't faster ways of transportation, but Mo Cheng and Lilia can't afford them. Or rather, the change Mo Cheng found from Viscount Joestar's pursuers was only enough for today's food and accommodation.
After all, in this kind of pursuit mission, it is impossible for people to carry hundreds of gold coins to slow down.
"But..." Lilia opened her mouth, not knowing how to continue.
The tuition at Winterhold Comprehensive Magic Academy was very expensive. Lilia and her brother had originally planned to go to the capital first to pay for the tuition. Her brother would continue to work as a mercenary while Lilia signed a loan agreement with the academy and paid the tuition while attending school.
And now...
"You don't have to worry about tuition fees or anything like that. Just study hard."
As for the tuition fee, Mo Cheng naturally took charge of it.
Lilia is an apprentice spellcaster, an apprentice among apprentices. If the Principality of Andel had not vigorously promoted education, so that even remote towns could have simple meditation training methods promoted, Lilia would probably not even know what mental power is.
In countries outside the Principality of Andel, the so-called "apprentice spellcasters" among the spellcasters have another name: a dumb cannon who may have talent.
If the Principality of Andel was not known as the country of mages and its number of regular spellcasters was not the highest among the surrounding countries, it would not have the ability to promote basic education or even spellcaster education throughout the country.
The fact that Lillia was admitted to the College of Winterhold shows that she has excellent talent as a spellcaster.
Are you trying to help because you feel sorry for the other person?
Or was it because of the talent that got him accepted into the College of Winterhold, and that he wanted to invest in a powerful spellcaster of the future?
Maybe I'm planning to try whether it's possible to trigger a new task on Lilia.
Mo Cheng didn't know which one he was, or maybe all three.
But why should we make such a clear distinction?
