"This is Bishop Abilit of the Golden Tree City Church."
In the small chapel of Chaidui Town, the fat city lord of Jinshu City introduced Xuan Weizi to Xuan Weizi. This middle-aged bishop was wearing a pure black priest's robe. Apart from the wooden holy emblem on his chest, he had no other accessories or redundant decorations.
He has loose curly hair and a short beard around his mouth. His expression is kind and his eyes are firm. He is not as fierce and high-spirited as Sir Salemi.
But Xuan Weizi could detect that Bishop Aibilit was much more restrained than the armed guard, and his miraculous power was much more refined. Although he looked like a thin middle-aged man with an ordinary physique, his inner life
The vitality is almost comparable to that of a mammoth in the cold zone. The miraculous power naturally applies to the whole body. Even if there is no brilliance, Xuan Weizi does not doubt that the bishop can catch the attack of the steel blade with his bare hands without breaking a trace of oily skin.
Xuan Weizi was observing Bishop Aibilite, and the other party was also looking at Xuan Weizi.
The Xuan Weizi who appeared in the small chapel at this time was the deity. He ascended the altar two days ago to perform the Dharma, transferred the pulse of the earth to gather the spiritual hub, stabilized the Xinggang Dharma Altar, and directly destroyed the castle in the process.
, so he temporarily moved to the chapel - anyway, this was originally a stone hut built by Xuan Weizi himself.
Bishop Aibilite stared at Xuan Weizi without any offense. There was just a trace of miraculous light flashing between his eyebrows. Then he clasped his fists in front of his chest, bowed slightly and said devoutly: "May the light of the Lord shine.
You, Doctor Olenso."
Xuan Weizi raised his eyebrows. He came in such a nice manner, so there was no need for him to take the initiative to stir up trouble, so he said: "My place is very simple, you two can do whatever you want."
When the city lord and the bishop of Jinshu City came together this time, they should have been treated with considerable courtesy, but Xuan Weizi, who had experienced the vacuum tribulation, had no extra thought to pay attention to worldly etiquette, and kept everything simple and evasive.
This time, only Xuan Weizi met the two people in person. He said straight to the point: "The two guests came to Chaidui Town, probably because they want to ask about your teaching, Sir Salemi?"
Abilit and the city lord looked at each other, but the bishop answered: "This is indeed one of the reasons. I heard that there was some dispute between the Salemi Catholics and Dr. Olenso, so I came here to ease the conflict.
"
"I don't have any disputes with Sir Salemi. It's just that some of my men behaved rudely... The two guests must know that a place like Woodpile Town is remote and barbaric, with colonists and natives mixed together. What would they do that is inappropriate?"
Please forgive me for the behavior in the civilized world." When Xuan Weizi said this, he did not mean to show any weakness at all, he just made a simple statement and did not care whether the other party accepted it.
After hearing this, the mayor of Abilit and Fatty City relaxed. The bishop responded: "Before we came to Pile Town, we passed through Lagen City to visit the Salemi Catholics. I advised him to know how to forgive. Hatred will only blind him."
The teachings of the Lord. From now on, I will try my best to restrain the church in Laigen City to avoid similar misunderstandings and conflicts from happening again."
Xuan Weizi was wearing Xuanhei Dharma clothes, the stars in the sky were invisible, and he nodded slightly in subtle ways. The other party's attitude was unexpectedly good - this is not surprising, the previous arrangements for the Xinggang Dharma Altar were really moving.
Too big, once again confirmed everyone in Chaidui Town's speculation that Xuan Weizi was a legendary spell caster.
No matter what, being able to perform such a large-scale magical phenomenon is enough for a strong man of this level to gain corresponding respect.
"Now that it has been clarified that it was a misunderstanding, let's explain the purpose of our visit directly." Xuan Weizi asked: "You two must have more important things."
"Cooperation." The one who answered was the plump city lord. He had a pleasant smile on his face and his chubby appearance looked a bit like Maitreya Buddha. He pressed his belly and said, "I have heard about the Changqing Chamber of Commerce in Chaidui Town for a long time.
, I heard that the Chamber of Commerce also plans to build hospitals in various places?"
"It is true." Xuan Weizi smiled and said: "But in my opinion, the Golden Tree City Church already has priests who can save lives and heal the wounded, so I'm afraid there is no need for the doctors and medicines from the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce, right?"
Bishop Abilit shook his head and said: "Ashamedly, there are not many priests in the Golden Tree City Church who can perform miracles. Although there are many worshipers, it still requires long-term training and faith to become a priest.
The test.”
Xuan Weizi's face was noncommittal, but the bishop could honestly admit in front of outsiders that his mental cultivation was much better than Sir Salemi's.
We must know that the mage's arcane magic can become the mainstream of today's spell-casting system. The fundamental reason lies in two points - one is that the arcane star map can be extremely widely connected with various energy substances. The mage uses it as a medium to cast spells, and naturally has the right to control it.
Reality has a more significant ability to intervene and shape.
The second is the logical thinking exercise that the mages have explored, which is the most widely exercised ability under various existing spell-casting systems. Even though it still has talent requirements for intellectual quality, in terms of entry difficulty, compared to the church
Priests and druids both need to be simple.
Especially for spellcasting professions that require perception, they often require the caster to have various special experiences and insights about internal and external things. As an alchemy monk, Xuan Weizi is very aware that similar experiences and insights are completely unavailable.
Chance is often an individual phenomenon that is difficult to repeat.
Only mages, through boring training and unremitting study day after day, can more or less touch the threshold of magic, and at least be able to use magic items.
In a flash of thought, Xuan Weizi understood the intention of Bishop Abilit, so he smiled and said: "So, Jinshu City hopes to cooperate with the Changqing Chamber of Commerce and invite us to build a hospital?"
Bishop Abilit leaned forward: "Not only that. My idea is, can church members be allowed to study in the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce? Just like what happened in Fire Dance City. Of course, they will still be in the name of the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce.
As a healer and physician, Jin Shucheng’s specific income can also be discussed.”
Xuan Weizi knocked on the table and thought silently for a while, then said: "Your Excellency Bishop, since you took the initiative to come to Chaidui Town, you must have inquired clearly beforehand. Our Changqing Hospital in Huowu City is not just about simple treatment of diseases.
It is also a place for public teaching of skills. I am afraid that the content I teach is not suitable for the church."
"So I came here this time and brought a group of priests with me, specifically to consult you, Doctor Olanso." Bishop Abilit said: "We heard that Chai Dui Town is a place where different spellcasters gather.
A place where we can exchange skills with each other.”
"Chaidui Town does welcome spellcasters from all walks of life, as long as they are not here to cause trouble." Bishop Aibilite's attitude is more low-key than Xuan Weizi imagined. But this low-key and humility often means longer-term pursuits.
.
"Here are a batch of miraculous scrolls and items produced by our Golden Tree City Church, as well as related manuals for use. Please see Dr. Olanso."
Bishop Abilit immediately asked his entourage to bring a wooden box, which contained dozens of scrolls tied with ropes. There was also a small wooden box inside, which contained several wands and five rings. The overall production process
It's plain, but it radiates a holy aura and is spotless, making people feel at peace just by looking at it.
"The Holy Lord Church actually knows how to make magic items?" Xuan Weizi asked, twisting one of the rings and looking at it.
Bishop Abilit explained: "The scribes of the church have been committed to promoting the practical application of miraculous power many years ago, so that it can benefit the majority of believers, and it is also used as a way to spread the light of our Lord."
"Your Excellency, the Bishop, is very straightforward." Xuan Weizi put down the ring and asked, "Then do you plan to continue preaching in Chaidui Town?"
Abilit did not answer directly, but instead asked: "Doctor Olanso, I heard that the chapel in Fire Dance City was reopened with your assistance?"
"Yes, I just hope that the bishop will not blame you. I don't know what specific rituals your religion has to do when opening a chapel. It's just that Huowu City has experienced a plague caused by the necropolis, and it requires the miraculous power of your church's priests.
Purify it for a long time to avoid further disasters." Xuan Weizi chuckled and said: "I heard that this was a tradition that existed before the empire was established."
"Indeed, I am not against your move, Doctor Olanso. On the contrary, the power of the church can reappear in Fire Dance City, and we would like to thank you, doctor." Bishop Abilit stood up and bowed to express his thanks.
Xuan Weizi was noncommittal. His original arrangement in Huowu City was just to make the best use of the people. Huowu City experienced war, and most of the people were frightened. Changqing Hospital can treat diseases, but it cannot soothe people's moods, let alone
Nelem is the main mage.
From the perspective of a cultivator, this kind of low-level comfort and relief is actually a typical ordinary person's mind. When encountering real hardships and problems, they always habitually rely on gods and the salvation of superiors. When faced with complexities
The changing reality is simply attributed to gods, rulers, or so-called institutional problems.
All these are blind behaviors of pursuing outwards, which are far from the first priority of ascetics: "Those who know themselves will understand."
As the saying goes, "Be obedient to others, and be rebellious to immortality", how does nurture reflect nature's rebellion against nature? It lies in introspection and self-knowledge, which is the restraint on letting one's mind pursue outward pursuits, the breaking of "acquired nature", and the search for "innate nature"
"the process of.
Even though Xuan Weizi has always looked down on those who pray to gods and Buddhas, he cannot stand that no matter which world he is in, ordinary people make up the majority and act on a whim. There is no need to completely go against the general trend of the world, at least right now it is not the time.
Seeing that Xuan Weizi didn't speak, Lord Feishuo and Bishop Aibilit couldn't figure out his attitude, so they had to ask: "We want to know, can Dr. Olanso agree with our church's missionary behavior in Chai Dui Town?
"
"Finally we got to the point." Xuan Weizi thought to himself. The bishop was giving gifts and thanking him. But at least he was sensible enough to know who the real owner of Chai Dui Town was. He came to Xuan Weizi's eyes.
When doing things down there, you also know to ask first.
Xuan Weizi drummed his fingers on the table and said nothing, as if deep in thought. There was only the sound of "tuk-tuk" in the hut. In the eyes of the fat city lord, the walls of the hut slowly squirmed and twisted, and his sensory perception became a little mixed and erratic, as if he was in a
In the bloody mouth of a man-eating monster, boundless terror was oppressed.
The fat city lord was about to seek help from Bishop Abilit, but suddenly found himself alone. The panic in his heart made him scream, but even his screams became tinny and unpleasant.
"Fear is a trial of faith, says the Lord."
A soft prayer, as if endless light shone through the monster's bloody mouth, bringing the fat city lord back to reality. He was sweating all over, breathing rapidly, and almost fell off the chair.
"Doctor Olenso, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me directly. Please do not harm innocent people." Bishop Abilit said humbly.
Xuan Weizi's finger was hanging in the air, and there was a faint but strong light on the fingertip, like an insect holding against the wheel, struggling to support it.
"That's right." Xuan Weizi praised softly, loosened his fingers and said: "If you want to preach in Chaidui Town, the price is to obey my arrangements. I am also very interested in miraculous power, and I need the clergy to cooperate with me.
do experiments."
Bishop Aibilite hesitated for a moment, and then heard Xuan Weizi's words: "I don't accept bargaining, but don't worry, I won't disembowel the church personnel you sent. On the contrary, I will disembowel the church members you sent.
The medical skills of the Qing Chamber of Commerce will be taught to you."
"In that case, I hope we can have pleasant cooperation in the future." Aibilite agreed without hesitation without any unnecessary nonsense.
"I will send someone to Jinshu City later to select the address of Evergreen Hospital." Xuan Weizi said: "In addition, if your sect has any miraculous items that are inconvenient to sell directly, the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce can also sell them on your behalf.
Just charge a small fee.”
Bishop Abilit thought for a while, nodded and said: "This is best...it's getting late, so we can't bother you anymore."
"I will have someone bring it to you for the specific business contract." After Xuan Weizi said this, Bishop Abilit left in a hurry with the fat city lord.
After the two people left the hut, the fat city lord said with a pale face: "Bishop, was that some kind of illusion just now? The 'blessing' ring you gave me had no effect?"
Bishop Abilit firmly held the Holy Emblem on his chest and led the fat city lord out for a certain distance. Then he lowered his voice and said: "What you saw just now, city lord, was not all an illusion! Doctor Olanso... he really just now
Turn the entire interior of the house into the mouth of a monster!"
"Ah? Is he really planning to kill people directly?" The fat city lord quickly touched the ring on his hand and confirmed the effects of the spells stored in it one by one.
"It should just shock us." Bishop Aibilite looked around and said: "I have already felt from just now that the entire Pile Town and dozens of miles around it are within the scope of a huge magic circle. And that person
Doctor Olenso is the center of the magic circle!"
The fat city lord was stunned and said: "Dozens of miles?! How can there be such a large-scale magic circle? Even the legendary mage can't do it!"
"I don't know, I guess he used some special means." Bishop Aibilite said: "Considering the earthquake two days ago, I guess he used the energy of the earth's pulse in some way. Rumor has it that Austrian
Dr. Lanso is a psychic. Is this the power of psychic powers? It’s hard to imagine..."
