The night passed quickly, and just as the sun was about to rise, Lawrence had woken up from the guest room of the church in the dark. After coming out of the meditation room last night, he went to the restaurant to have something to eat, and he had been in the church since then.
Practice your newly mastered magic in the exclusive practice room, and don't go to sleep until all your mana is exhausted.
Through last night's practice, he found that his mana can release about 22 zero-level magics or 4 to 11 first-level magics at a time. This is mainly because the mana required for zero-level spells is almost the same, while first-level magics can be released at any time.
The mana required for different spells is 2 to 5 times that of zero-level magic. In addition, he also naturally gained the ability to see things that ordinary people cannot see.
After the practice, after a full night's sleep, Lawrence's exhausted mana was completely restored. This was mainly due to the fact that after awakening his bloodline, the energy circulation in his body naturally began to move closer to Bai Ze's internal circulation, which is equivalent to learning to
I have developed a special meditation method that suits me very well.
Stretching, Lawrence struck the match on the bedside in the dark and lit the oil lamp. Then he held the oil lamp and entered the bathroom to clean himself up. After he finished writing the telegram to his father, he stepped on the first ray of dawn.
When I entered the restaurant, I happened to meet the clergy of the Knowledge Church who had finished their morning prayers and came to have a meal together.
"Lawrence, you have fully recovered now. Thank the God of Knowledge." Just when Lawrence finished his meal on an iron plate and sat at the dining table to eat, Peter also sat across from him with his own breakfast, and then like a radio
They also talked about the recent news.
From the messy information he chatted about, Lawrence learned that the Church of Knowledge had recovered the remains of the Staff of Prosperity and Decay. After research, they believed that the reason why this powerful magic item was destroyed was because, as a belief magic item, the long-term blockade and
The disappearance of its admirers causes its power to continue to drain.
As a result, in the final battle, Bubu extracted a large amount of energy to maintain the trap space and suppress everyone's resistance. The last bit of energy contained in the Staff of Prosperity and Death was exhausted, and Lawrence himself kept attacking.
Its body ultimately led to the destruction of such magic.
This news made Lawrence breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that his secret had not been discovered. After dinner, he was originally going to go to Lister's clinic to find him to continue to perfect the paper, but Priest Carter blocked it at the door of the restaurant.
He said, "Lawrence, you have become a transcendent now, so can you tell me what your plans are?"
"I, I want to become a powerful warlock. But I don't want to give up everything I have now." Lawrence said hesitantly. "So I'm a little confused now. Can you give me some good advice?"
"There is no contradiction between the life of extraordinary beings and the life of ordinary people!" Priest Carter's eyes widened slightly after hearing Lawrence's words, and then he laughed directly.
"Read less of those novels on the street. Extraordinary people are also human beings. There is no saying that those who possess extraordinary power must be isolated from ordinary people. Think of your father, and then think of me. Even if we serve the God of Knowledge, we are not
It means giving up a normal life. For example, after your father finished his church work, he still devoted all his free time to his research."
"Oh, so that's it." Lawrence suddenly realized that he had met extraordinary beings who could be identified before, which were a group of clergy from the Church of Knowledge, and this too single sample obviously could not represent the common phenomenon of extraordinary beings.
"In fact, many extraordinary people, especially low-level extraordinary people who are not clergy, maintain their living habits and work as ordinary people." Priest Carter looked at Lawrence, "Since you have just stated your ideals, then I
I personally suggest that you’d better register your name in our Department of Faith and Catechism.”
"A name?" Lawrence asked with some confusion.
"That's right. Each church has a team that specializes in dealing with various extraordinary problems. But the problem is that the church does not have enough resources. At the same time, taking into account various influences, it cannot cultivate a large-scale armed force. Therefore, each church has a large number of
Supernumerary personnel are used to handle the endless stream of extraordinary events." Priest Carter explained.
"Among these huge numbers of non-staff personnel, most are mercenaries among the extraordinary. They will obtain information from the church, accept tasks and receive corresponding rewards."
"Of course, I will definitely not invite you to become such a low-level mercenary. After all, you grew up in the church, and you showed your position when you dealt with the Rod of Prosperity and Decay last time. As usual for a reliable person like you
You can be exempted from the test and become a non-staff member of the Ministry of Faith and Catechism.”
"As a non-staff member of the Ministry of Faith and Catechism, in addition to having all the resources of the mercenaries, you will also have the right to see some internal information and enjoy discounts on supplies, and obtain basic food at cost prices from knowledge churches everywhere.
Accommodation. In addition, you have the opportunity to prioritize tasks once a month, and you can choose a task in advance from tasks that have not been published to the public taskbar."
"Are there no mandatory tasks or orders?" Lawrence asked about his most worrying question.
"There are not many mandatory requirements. In summary, there are only two." Priest Carter said. "One is that when encountering large-scale racial wars such as monster siege or evil creature riots, you must respond to the call and cooperate and obey the local knowledge church.
The other is to not carry out any actions that are hostile to the Church of Knowledge.”
"As for the mandatory tasks or orders you mentioned, they are for the staff of the Department of Faith and Catechism. At least in our Knowledge Church, we pursue fairness in gain and payment, so only those who usually enjoy various resources and salaries are
Only the editors need to perform various mandatory tasks.”
"That's right, then I'm happy to become a non-staff member of the Ministry of Faith and Catechism." Lawrence nodded, and then was taken to a room by High Priest Carter.
This room is located in an inconspicuous corner at the back of the main hall. It has no windows except for one door. The whole room is as simple as the overall style of the church. There is a table in the center of the room, and a table on each side of the table.
A lighted candle and an inkwell with a pen.
The only difference from other rooms is that this room has a huge bronze holy emblem of the Church of Knowledge hanging on the wall facing the door. Lawrence can now feel that there is extremely powerful power hidden in that holy emblem.
"Okay, now we need to make a contract." Entering the room, High Priest Carter took out a piece of parchment that was almost unused from the only desk drawer in the room, with something written on it in blue ink.
Taking the parchment, Lawrence found that there were not many rules on it. They were the ones that Priest Carter mentioned just now. In addition, it also stated that if you violate the contract, you will be directly punished by the church.
The stipulations were very simple, so it only took Lawrence a few dozen seconds to read the entire contract. Then he picked up the dip pen in the ink bottle on the table and scratched on the waste paper next to it, and then on the parchment.
Sign your name at the bottom.
Watching Lawrence sign his name, Priest Carter took out some small tools from the drawer and melted a little wax on the candle, and then used a small silver seal to seal the rolled-up parchment of the contract with wax.
"Welcome to join us now." After putting the contract in the drawer, Priest Carter took out a small green notebook from the drawer on the other side of the table, wrote something with a pen and handed it to Lawrence. "Yes.
Okay, keep this."
Lawrence took the open notebook and saw that it was written in common Kantian language:
White Eagle Federal Eagle Castle Special City Police Department Chartered Detective.
Below this line is Lawrence's name just written on it, and above it are the church's steel seal and the seals of the city government and the city police department.
"The police department lacks enough manpower just like us, so they recruit some detectives as their downlines. Non-staff paranormal personnel in various churches will have such certificates so that they can have a convenient identity when dealing with paranormal incidents.
