No matter how good a tailor is, he cannot make an entire outfit overnight.
Because of this, according to Allen's original plan, he planned to rest in his house for a day, preview "Astrology and Prophecy", and discuss the construction of spell models with Howard.
But he never expected that in the early morning of the next day, the housekeeper of this mansion made him an unexpected suggestion that was difficult to refuse:
"Master, today is your first day in the capital. Before you do anything else, I suggest you go to Hagia Sophia first."
"Why?" Allen was puzzled. Because of the mysterious black crystal, he didn't want to get too close to the Church of Light.
"Master, have you forgotten? On the fifteenth day after your birth, you were baptized in the Hagia Sophia Cathedral in the capital," the butler replied. "The person who presided over your baptism ceremony at that time was none other than Saint Sophia Cathedral.
The priest of the church, Yak Nelga. But now, Father Nerga has become the archbishop of the Braden Kingdom diocese. For both reasons and reasons, you should pay him a visit."
Allen frowned slightly. He had been focusing on magic recently, and he had forgotten such a thing.
It all started many years ago.
Since the Light Church defeated the Dark Temple and became the largest sect in the plane, it has been in the limelight for a while. With its powerful force, the Light Church has expanded rapidly and successfully persuaded all countries in the plane to designate the Light Church as the state religion; demands.
After every citizen is born, he must go to the church to be baptized. This is regarded as converting to the Church of Light and becoming at least a nominal believer in the Goddess of Light.
No one dares to resist the power of the Church of Light.
Even the king of every country must be crowned by the Pope of the Church of Light before he can ascend the throne and sit firmly on his own throne.
In order to manage believers in various countries, the Church of Light treats each country as a "diocese" such as the Diocese of Braden, the Diocese of Ferrand, etc. The top administrator of the diocese is called the "Archbishop", who is personally appointed by the Pope and is responsible for the parish.
All matters within the diocese.
As the spokesperson of the goddess in the world, the Pope himself has an independent jurisdiction and a territory that does not belong to any country. It is called the "Papal State" or the "Papal Territory". The majestic Cathedral of Light stands there, known as
As "the place closest to God and man".
As a citizen of the Kingdom of Braden, Allen was naturally carried to Saint Sophia Cathedral by his father on the fifteenth day after his birth, where he was baptized by Father Akenelga and became a glorious believer of the Goddess of Light.
It can be said that Father Yaconelga is his "guide".
Now, Father Nerga has risen rapidly and has become the archbishop of the diocese of Braden Kingdom, coordinating all religious affairs. Of course, it is necessary for Allen to pay him a visit.
"Do we really have to go today?" Alan asked. He suddenly began to regret why he didn't pretend to be sick in advance.
"This is the courtesy that upper class society should have," the housekeeper advised earnestly.
Allen sighed helplessly.
But then he thought about it: When I took part in the assessment of the Mage Tower, the black crystal was not discovered even if it reached the demiplane of Merlins. It is possible that its origin is more magical than I imagined; besides, Saint
Sophia Cathedral is just a church, and it is not something that the goddess of light is personally in charge of. Even the legendary mage cannot discover something, and an archbishop must be helpless.
So, he nodded and agreed: "Prepare the carriage! I'll set off right now."
"As you command, Master." the butler replied.
The servants of the York family had a clear division of labor and were well-trained. They quickly prepared the carriage and stopped at the door of the mansion.
Under the service of the servants, Allen put on a long black dress coat, put on a half-high silk top hat, held an expensive wooden staff given by his father, wore spotless black leather boots, and walked straight onto the carriage with vigorous steps.
"Master, please remember to say hello to Bishop Nerga on behalf of the Earl!" the butler said loudly, standing outside the carriage.
"No problem." Allen agreed.
However, when Allen closed the door and turned around, he discovered that there was someone else on the carriage at some point.
"Howard, why are you here?" Allen frowned, "I was tired from the journey yesterday, and I hope you can rest a little longer!"
Howard was still wearing the shabby clothes from yesterday and yawned and said, "This is my first time coming to the capital. I want to see the world."
Allen looked out the window and saw that the carriage had begun to move forward, so he gave up the plan of driving him back and continued sleeping.
"And... Alan, please forgive me for sneaking a look at your "Spell Modeling"," Howard continued, his expression full of apologies, "Your improved mental version of the invisibility spell is really very practical."
Allen turned back and took a serious look at Howard, and finally understood why the other party was able to board the carriage silently, without him or the servants noticing.
"That spell is only a semi-finished product and cannot be used yet." Allen said.
"I finished it this morning," Howard smiled, his tone modest, but his eyes showed pride, "I have to say, your invention of replacing magic power with spiritual power is really of cross-epochal significance.
Now, magic apprentices like me can use spells freely."
"It's 'like you', not 'like us'," Allen joked. "If you overgeneralize, you will be deducted five points."
"Why?" Howard was confused.
But a few seconds later, a terrible guess suddenly appeared in his mind: "Have you become an official magician?"
Allen nodded and said with a smile: "I can't let you catch me up."
"Congratulations!" Howard congratulated sincerely.
At the same time, he also secretly made up his mind to work hard and not be left too far behind by Allen, a pervert.
…………
Because the road was not congested in the early morning, the carriage quickly arrived at the door of Hagia Sophia.
"Master, we're here." The coachman got down from his seat respectfully and opened the door for Allen.
Allen walked out of the car door and squinted his eyes slightly. He saw the sun shining on the cathedral, which was made of white marble, making it particularly dazzling.
"It's so bright!" He sighed silently.
However, at this moment, the black crystal in his conscious world suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably.
