Preaching Master!

When Brian heard these words from the Observer Beholder, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and there was a hint of surprise in his calm eyes.

His original plan was to wait until his strength reached at least the legendary level before he would try to win the position of preaching mage.

Who would have thought that I would be exposed to things in this field so quickly.

He couldn't help but recall detailed information about the preaching master.

Regardless of any time.

In the main material world, there will be a preacher mage appointed by the goddess of magic Mystra and the god of wizards Azuth.

Most people believe that spellcasters must fight each other and defeat or kill the incumbent in a spell duel to obtain the position of Evangelist.

This is exactly what happened.

The preaching mages were born out of this form of fighting each other.

Of course, only a very small number of powerful spellcasters can succeed in overthrowing the current preaching mage, and most of them have to pay the price with their lives...

After all, as long as you obtain the position of Preacher Mage, you will be able to obtain many special powers granted by the Goddess of Magic and the God of Mage at the same time, and you can also learn many unknown magics.

As a result, current preaching mages are often in deep danger and become the target of many ambitious and powerful wizards.

This directly caused the preaching mage to become the position with the highest death rate in the main material world.

Although the Evangelist is a fighter dedicated to the goddess of magic Mystra, this does not mean that the Evangelist will fight everywhere for the belief in the goddess of magic.

In fact, the true duty of the Evangelist Mage is to promote magic and make its secrets available to all who want to learn it, thereby increasing the power and influence of Mystra.

Therefore, as a missionary mage, what they most often do is to encourage or guide other wizards to study spells or improve existing spells, so as to enhance the magical power of the other party - whether it is their own apprentice or opponent.

However, due to loopholes in the rules for becoming a preacher mage jointly formulated by the Goddess of Magic and the God of Mage, the preacher mage has become the target of challenges from many spellcasters.

In these days when it is often necessary to guard against sneak attacks by challengers, preaching mages will only try to conceal their identities as much as possible. How can they go around the world with peace of mind to promote the mysteries of magic.

Brian once read "The Biography of the Preaching Master".

Azuth, the first missionary mage, became Mystra's chosen one and served the goddess of magic as a mortal for many years until her ascension to the gods began.

In the following nearly a thousand years, more than 130 preaching mages were replaced, and the average tenure of each preaching magus was less than 10 years.

There was even a preacher who was the most aggrieved and was beaten to death by a farmer with a manure shovel.

It is said that this preaching mage is ugly and has a sallow complexion.

He was desperate to be disliked by every female creature, and spent a lot of time perfecting the magic that could make him tall, powerful, and handsome. He was also keen on using magic to seduce and molest country women and girls.

Finally, one morning, a husband who couldn't bear it anymore raised a shovel used to dig out excrement and hit the preacher on the head, killing him just like that.

What's even more surprising is that it only took less than an hour for the mage god Azuth to usher in a new preaching mage to the world.

Although the preaching mage has many shortcomings, it seems that as long as he becomes a preaching mage, he will invisibly push himself to the forefront and become the target of many ambitious spellcasters trying to replace him.

However, Brian still valued the special ability given to the evangelist to promote the mysteries of magic and quickly identify magical talents.

Only by acquiring this ability can the arcane empire he plans to build in the future increase exponentially.

Therefore, becoming a preaching mage is also one of his future goals.

Because this is the easiest way for him to cling to the lap of the goddess of magic without causing the magic network to collapse, causing him to be unlucky like those chosen ones.

Missionary Mage Gryri Muluklas.

Brian recalled information about the evangelist.

According to the "Biographies of Master Preaching Master":

Gregory Muluklas is the 94th Evangelist, the only drow wizard among many Evangelists, and the only one whose life or death is unknown.

During an underground adventure, Guilei unexpectedly met the current preaching mage.

This missionary mage was besieged by the phaerinn demons. Although he defeated the enemy, he was also severely injured, with only his head and upper torso left, until he met the passing drow wizard Greri.

With the personality of the drow.

Of course, Guilei gave the preaching mage a good time, and then successfully picked up the mistake.

And so a new preaching mage was born.

As the only drow evangelist in history, Gryri Mulukras is a traitor to drow society.

Greer comes from the city of Shamas, known as the "City of Dark Web", which is a dark elf city dominated by drow male wizards.

His rebellious character made him naturally resist the views and laws of the wizard rulers, so he resolutely took off his robe, left the city of Shamas, and wandered through the Dark Territory to spread magic.

He taught many drow wizards how to use their own abilities to control magic, rather than just relying on radiating energy from ley lines.

Greery also regarded the energy radiated by ley lines as a cancer in drow society.

Because of the importance of leyline radiation, the drow ruling class, in other words, the priests of Lolth, regard it as an important tool to maintain their rule and power.

What this brings is the heavy shackles that restrict the development of drow society, the cruel hierarchy, the cruel and bloodthirsty character of drow, and the restrictions on drow escaping from the Underdark under the brutal rule of the Spider Queen.

Greer is famous for exploring the vast Underdark, even approaching the upper Underdark areas on the surface.

He is not only the preacher of the goddess of magic, but also a believer of the dark maiden Eilistraee. He lives in the Walking Temple in Skullport with many Eilistraee priests, and has established close friendship with the humans underground in Waterdeep City.

Greer is kind and resolute, but he also maintains the natural vigilance of drow, always ready with combat spells.

For most spellcasters on the surface, the presence of Guliry is very weak, and they even claim that there are no preaching mages at all during this period.

With the death of the Dark Maiden, no one knows the final fate of Greri Muluklas, as if he has disappeared from the world.

The world only knows.

When the missionary mage Gugliel slowly faded out of sight, Azuth re-awarded this position to a human wizard on the surface.

"I have heard of your master."

Brian came back to his senses and looked at the Observer Demon suspended in the air, "So, I'm curious whether your master is still alive."

Hesiah looked at Brian in surprise. She didn't expect that Brian had such a wide range of knowledge.

"How could Victor know about the master's affairs?"

The beholder said without hesitation, "Viktor's master just asked Victor to stay here and guard the master's treasure until it is taken away, so that Victor can regain his freedom."

"You just said that as long as you answer three questions correctly, you can get the treasure left by your master. Is it true?" Brian then asked.

"Of course it's true." said the Observer Beholder, "However, Victor advises you to give up as soon as possible, because Victor is..."

"If you have any questions, just ask. There's so much nonsense." Brian interrupted the beholder's nagging with a slightly impatient tone.

Hesiah was shocked by Brian's actions,

As a sword mage whose strength has reached the paragon level, the moment the Observer Beholder appeared, she clearly felt an instinctive sense of oppression.

However, when she noticed Brian's calm expression, she felt a lot more relieved for no reason.

"How dare you challenge the most perfect creation of the 'Great Mistress'." The Observer Beholder spun around Brian excitedly.

"Listen carefully, Victor will only ask you three questions. If you can't answer them, Victor will cast a teleportation spell and let the two of you randomly appear in a corner of the Underdark."

Feeling the worried look from Hesiah, Brian shook his head slightly to show that he was measured.

He just wanted to confirm a suspicion in his mind.

If he guesses correctly, he will receive a gift from the preaching mage.

If you guess wrong, at most it will just randomly teleport to other places, which is not fatal enough.

"First question."

The tone of the observer's beholder became quite solemn, "A surface elf and a drow elf fall in love. Will the child they have have black or white teeth?"

"Babies have no teeth." Brian answered without thinking.

After hearing this question, he suddenly felt that everything seemed to be developing in the direction he imagined.

This boosted his confidence a bit.

"What? You were able to answer Victor's question so quickly."

The Observer Beholder stared with five eyes in surprise, "Listen carefully, second question: What is the last thing a person needs to do before he dies?"

"Take your last breath."

Brian looked at the beholder floating in front of him with an idiot's eyes.

"..." The Observer Beholder took a deep breath, remained silent for a while, and looked at Brian, "Then tell Victor, which part of your body will expand rapidly when you are excited?"

Brian smiled and glanced at the strange-looking sword mage beside him, staring at the eyes of the beholder, "Pupillary. Don't you know? When the pupil is stimulated by external stimuli, it will expand more than seven times."

"Okay, I have answered all three questions, now it's my turn."

He immediately said before the other party spoke: "I need you to answer my three simplest questions as quickly as possible."

"Easiest question?"

The Observer Beholder was stunned for a moment and said dissatisfiedly, "Viktor is the most perfect creation of the 'Great Mistress'. Are you insulting Victor's IQ?"

"These are the rules set by your master. Do you want to disobey your master?" Brian didn't bother to talk nonsense to him and directly showed his master's signature.

"Come on, Victor is the smartest and the fastest in answering questions." The observer said angrily.

"How many eyes does the Loth beast have?" Brian said.

"Two?"

The observer's beholder blinked and spoke his answer in an uncertain tone.

"How many legs does a Los beast have?" Brian continued.

"Shijo, this is too simple." The beholder said mockingly, "Are you planning to laugh Victor to death and then take the opportunity to get the treasure that Victor is guarding?"

Hesiah on the side also looked at Brian in confusion, but she also had a vague feeling that things might not be as simple as she imagined.

"How much hair does the Loth beast have?" Brian said with a smile as he met the beholder's five eyes.

"...How many hairs does Losmon have?"

Hearing this question, the Observer Beholder froze in mid-air, "You are lying, how could Victor know how many hairs the Loth beast has so quickly? Tell Victor how many hairs this Loth beast has."

With a flick of the beholder's tentacles, a phantom of a cow-like Los beast appeared in front of everyone.

"Are you sure you want me to answer?"

Brian looked at it, "If I tell you the correct answer, does that mean you admit defeat?"

"Yes, if you can answer it right, Victor will immediately admit that you have passed the master's test."

The beholder said proudly, "Victor tells you the truth, it is impossible to use mental power to count the hairs of this Loth beast phantom. You can only count them one by one."

"This question is very simple."

Brian ignored the beholder's nagging, "Loth beasts have fur."

Hearing the answer, Hesiah, who was still thinking, suddenly woke up and looked at the shriveled beholder with a smile on his face.

"This... Losmon is covered in fur."

The Observer Beholder stared with big eyes at the phantom of the Loth Beast he had created.

It was silent for a long time, then its five eyes suddenly lit up, and it shouted excitedly:

"Haha... someone finally passed the master's test. Victor no longer has to stay here. Victor can finally go to Wisteria Valley."

"Hey, you two, Victor has opened the bar in the master's room for you. Go in by yourselves. Victor wants to leave here."

As soon as the observer's beholder thought, a ripple-like ripple flashed away.

Immediately afterwards, a six-pointed star array emerged from below, impatiently covering the beholder and disappearing without a trace.

"Wisteria Valley?"

Brian looked thoughtfully at the magic circle where the observer's beholder disappeared.

He always felt that he had heard of this place name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Let's go and see what gifts the former preaching mages left behind."
