Parallel Army - The Sound of the Turning Tide Chapter 35 Baptism Ceremony
In the oral mission briefing Alexander submitted to the guild, Hawkins was a little vague about her age and era, and was said to be a strange pharmacist who escaped from the belly of a monster.
After that, it was a pity that the three of them could not find a suitable commission at the Mercenary Industrial Bank. But coincidentally, the jewelry merchant who bartered with Alexander was discussing matters with a supervisor here at this time.
When Alexander saw an acquaintance, he remembered that the things he sold before were pretty good, and planned to wait for him to finish talking and go over to say hello.
Fageni had nothing to do, and thinking that idleness was nothing but idleness, he found a few colleagues to chat about Burialliu Island.
Heath was unfamiliar with this place, so he could only watch Fageni to prevent him from talking too much about steam locomotives.
Fageni learned that there were not many adventurers and mercenaries in Gobende Castle, and even fewer people came into contact with the sea to make requests. Even if they came into contact, they might not know about this island, so no one could place orders for fish eggs.
Take it.
But it didn't take long for the jewelry merchant to finish talking, and the supervisor went behind the counter to give instructions to the counter lady.
Alexander went up to say hello. "I didn't expect to meet again. How are you doing recently? We just finished a big task, are there any new goods?"
"It's Ms. Johnson, good afternoon. Alas, I have an order from a nobleman, but I have no goods, so I'm worried." The businessman immediately put on a distressed look.
After hearing this, Fageni immediately said goodbye to his colleagues, and then walked over to listen to the conversation between the two. Hitz also went over to listen, but did not speak, and was prepared to prevent Fageni from speaking at any time.
"Recently, other merchants have seized the market. In order not to lose customers to them, I have taken a lot of orders. Now I have a serious shortage of high-end goods." The merchant looked angry again.
"Um...that's a question. We were just talking to the supervisor about purchasing goods, right?" Alexander touched his chin.
"Yes. You mercenaries are well-informed. Do you know about some rough stone mines, or gems that are used as spell consumables but still have ornamental value?" The businessman was looking forward to it.
Anyway, Alexander showed the merchant all the useless things on his body that looked like gems. "Do you think this counts?"
"Oh oh oh! The quality of these is very good, great, enough to last for a while. Let me think about it, the countercurrent trading company will charge about 1,200 linseys for this, and the auction price will be about 1,800 linseys, so I will
The price is one thousand four hundred. If it’s not one thousand five hundred, Lindsay, can you sell it to me?”
"Yes, yes...is this thing so valuable?" Alexander was surprised. "Since you said so, I'll sell it to you at this price. I originally thought these were useless...maybe I have time.
I should also learn jewelry appraisal or something." As a woman, Alexander has never cared about the price of jewelry...
"No, next time it happens, come to me directly and I will buy it at a price higher than the market price." The jewelry merchant immediately took out a source crystal card and gave it to Alexander. "You can get the money at the countercurrent trading house, let's go."
"Okay." Alexander took the card and handed it over, and then went to the commercial bank to confirm the amount of the deposit.
Next, the jewelry merchant accompanied the three people to a trading house. The staff of the trading house confirmed that there were indeed fifteen hundred Lindsays inside, and then the merchant hurriedly left.
Alexander put the card away and walked out of the business. "Now we seem to have money to hire an armored ship. Do you think we should ask directly at the business or something?"
"Go ahead, go ahead." After hearing that there was so much money, Fageni shook his head and pulled himself out of his fantasy.
"I was looking forward to some more constructive opinions... Sigh." Alexander sighed.
"It's best to ask about the price of hiring an ironclad first. We don't understand the market, and it wouldn't be good if we were cheated." Heath suggested heading to the dock.
"Do you want an opinion? Then I suggest you go to the church and ask. Maybe they can find a friendly price for us." Fageni said after thinking about it for a while.
"The church may be able to give us a friendship price, but they don't have ironclads, right?" Alexander felt that was not possible.
"They have been here for so many years, and they must have more connections than the three of us, including friends." Fageni refuted Alexander's words forcefully.
"It's okay to go and ask, then let's go." Alexander actually didn't want to meet the investors, which always made her feel awkward, so she bravely walked towards the church.
"Let's go, let's go." Fageni thought that even if he didn't buy something from the church, it wouldn't be able to alleviate the phobia that he had gradually developed.
"Let's go, let's go." Alexander was a little frustrated when Hitz's suggestion was not adopted.
"We don't necessarily have to hire an armored ship. Maybe the church can help us get there." Fageni said again halfway, and what he said was absolutely right.
Afterwards, the three of them arrived at the Cathedral of the Holy God of Glory. At this time, the trainee priests and several priests were busy preparing for some ceremony. Bishop Slovin saw Alexander trotting over from the opposite side, with a smile on his face.
"Hello, long time no see, Bishop Slovin." Alexander came up to say hello. "What are you busy with?"
"You don't know if you don't check. This is the fourth time Miss Alexander has destroyed the ritual of the evil god. To show respect, the church has decided to make you a glorious believer. Of course, this is a superficial thing. You don't need to have real faith, you just have this title.
, you can receive the second baptism. The first baptism is usually performed by the godfather and is a blessing to the baby. The second baptism is to receive God's favor and can pave the way to legend. It must be performed within the system.
Your other teammates can also receive divine gifts and blessings."
His calmness was actually very shocking. At this time, what Hitz was thinking in his heart was - [The fourth time! Is this the fourth time that Captain Alexander has destroyed this evil god's ritual? It's so awesome, he deserves to be the leader, cough
Cough, calm down, show no emotion at all, act very common, um, don't embarrass Alexander.】
"It's a great honor. I'm very grateful for the church's kindness." Alexander said while recalling how it felt like there were only three times. Did he include the time in Devil's Rift?
"Is this what you are busy with?" Fageni asked.
"That's absolutely correct. Mr. Fageni is a blessing from God. Although he is not as good as Ms. Alexander, he still has the best treatment outside the system. Well, Miss Heath's gift from God is a powerful holy relic."
"Thank you very much." Hitz acted calmly and couldn't be too surprised, otherwise he would be like the bumpkin who just entered the Iron Armored City like last time.
Fageni looked at the busy priests and thought that if Kanas had not been there, he would have died in that shelter. "Then when will we be ready? We still have to look for fish eggs. .”
"We also received the reward, which is what we should have done. Unexpectedly... we really deserved it." Alexander felt that it would be a bit excessive to talk about the ironclad ship in this situation, so forget it.
"No, no, no, you are fully worthy of the name of a hero. There will be no audience for the baptism ceremony, and it will be completed as quickly as possible. It will only take one afternoon in total."
Although Hitz feels proud to receive God's blessing, he must help them well after receiving the holy relics.
"Okay, then let's just wait. It's time to work." After Alexander answered, he was led over by the bishop.
The three of them performed superficial rituals of different scales inside the cathedral one after another. After the ceremony, the three of them were sticky and needed to take a bath. Fageni and Alexander rejected impurities from the body, while Shiz was simply hot. ——She got a wooden dagger made of ironwood, named the Holy Forest Heart. After tuning, this holy relic can significantly enhance the resistance to elemental damage and strengthen the power of the protection school spells.
"My will is stronger." Fageni felt the power given by God's blessing.
"This holy relic has an unforgettable feeling. Thank you, Lord God." Heath clasped his hands together and prayed, although he only expressed respect.
"It's really amazing... Well, let's say goodbye and go back to take a shower?" Alexander felt uncomfortable all over.
Slovin was already sweating with oil. He waved his hand nonchalantly and insisted on sending the three of them out of the church before returning to work.
"Thank you, I'm done." Alexander waved goodbye. "Let's go back and take a shower quickly, and then go to the trading house again."
"Okay." Fageni took a step out of the church door.
"Okay." Hitz followed Alexander and prepared to take a bath.
Alexander rushed back to the hotel in a hurry. It would not look good if someone he knew saw him like this.
The three of them returned to the hotel and freshened up. It was already dark after taking a shower. Although they hadn't eaten yet, Alexander thought he would go to the business first and talk after eating.
Fageni thought that it would be enough to eat on the road, so the three of them bought some at a roadside stall and ate a little. When they arrived at the business, the staff were preparing to close the shop.
Alexander went to ask if there was any way to hire an ironclad ship to go to sea, or if there were other clues to bury the island or get fish eggs.
The staff member told Alexander that although Countercurrent Trading Company was involved in shipping, it could not hire the country's fleet.
And it is estimated that no one will be willing to sail to this place, but you can buy an old ship and hire sailors who are not afraid of death.
Alexander sighed secretly, expressed his gratitude to the staff of the commercial bank for their advice, then left and went to have something serious to eat - after all, he had too much money on hand now, so he could enjoy it a little. Besides, how much can you spend on some delicious food? money?
But it was already very late now, so the three of them could only eat something ordinary.
