Chapter 6.1 (2/2)
“Ascetic believer?” Village Head’s face shows signs of surprise!
Liang Li Dong nods. Ascetic believers are special priests who are in charge of spreading G.o.d’s ideals. They travel around the world looking for places to build new temple.Typically, ascetic believers are very popular because they are not pure combat spellcasters but spreader of truth. Of course they are armed with special skills because all kinds of danger lurk in the journey. If unable to dealt with, there is no way to spread G.o.d’s glory.
Getting Liang Li Dong’s confirmation, Village Head’s face brightens up. He quickly says: “Able to have Your Excellency stay here is the most glorious thing to happen to our Reed family in more than 100 years. Please enter……” He then turns his head to the young girl besides him and says: “Behring, go get Kyle to come back. He is practicing swordplay in the empty s.p.a.ce behind the village!”
Young girl leaves with a hop.
“Please!”
Liang Li Dong follows the village head’s footsteps into the house. The first thing that comes into view is a portrait hanging on the wall. The portrait is of a handsome man holding a burning long sword in his left hand and a s.h.i.+eld in his right hand. A flame emblem is engraved on the s.h.i.+eld. The man is wearing chain mail and stepping on an ugly devil.
Village Head notices Liang Li Dong’s sight and proudly says: “This is my ancestor, legendary hero, Kite – Reed. 500 years ago, he single-handedly defeated the devil which revived from h.e.l.l, Modi Deboro and then rejected the king’s invitation to become the leader of royal cavalry and returned to hometown alone and went into seclusion. Ancestor is so great but us descendants being so weak is a shame to our ancestor’s glory.”
Legendary hero Kite – Reed exists in the game but mostly comes out from the mouth of bards in taverns. Liang Li Dong’s cla.s.s is n.o.ble, his game experience is mostly developing territory and battling with other forces. Discovering game’s history is what the cla.s.s ‘Wandering Scholar’ will do. But he has heard things about this legendary hero.
“I have heard about your ancestor. Back then after Modi – Deboro’s revival, the first thing he did was destroyed a small nation which name I can’t remember and then led countless undead towards Holevin.” Liang Li Dong does not really believe Village Head is the descendant of legendary hero but he definitely will not show his opinions. Instead he follows the flow and flatters: “Holevin’s king Haydn V orders a counterattack but the army wasn’t a match. As Modi’s army march close in to the capital, a young man stood up at that time. He charged into the undead army alone and killed Modi with his sword. He was unbelievably strong!”
Hahahaha! Seeing Liang Li Dong so clear about his ancestor’s glorious deeds, Village Head is very happy. He feels Liang Li Dong is even more pleasing to his eyes already. In the past, when talking about his ancestor’s deeds to the villagers, they treat it as a story. While telling it to other n.o.bles, n.o.bles could not care less, an unknown village’s lowest kind of n.o.ble, if they did not still have their emblem, the upper cla.s.s of Holevin would have treated them as commoners. No one will believe their ancestor is the legendary hero Kite – Reed.
Village Head offers a seat to Liang Li Dong and says: “Where does Lord Beta plans to go to spread G.o.d’s grace?”
“Wherever G.o.d needs me to go!” Liang Li Dong puts on an act: “I believe when I find it, G.o.d will give signs.”
Village Head’s expression moves: “How about Priest Beta stay in our village…… Although our village is not rich but providing for a small temple is not……”
Thud…… Before Village Head can finish his words, a young man barges in and shouts: “Grandpa, I heard from Behring there is a distinguished guest in our house and is a Lord Bishop who can cast spells?”
This is a fair-skinned teenage around 15/16 years old with short blonde hair but not as conspicuous as Liang Li Dong’s s.h.i.+ny gold hair. His hair is dark blonde but full of l.u.s.ter. In addition, this teenage is very handsome, just the looks is more conspicuous than Liang Li Dong but because his face still looks childish unlike Liang Li Dong’s calm and amiable and with Liang Li Dong’s Cla.s.s trait ‘n.o.ble’s Temperament’ adding on so Liang Li Dong looks more handsome than teenager.
For charm, looks makes up a part of it, temperament makes up another part of it and character makes up yet another part of it.
“Kyle, what are you shouting for!” Village Head stands up and says unhappily: “Come and meet Priest Beta!”
“I’m just being anxious!” Teenager touches his head and smiles awkwardly. He walks up to Liang Li dong and looks at the latter with yearn: “h.e.l.lo, distinguished Lord Priest, I’m Kyle, the one with the best swordsmans.h.i.+p in this village. I heard you can cast spell, can you teach me magic, I can give you all the money I saved up!”
T/L note 1: The village head is calling Beta Priest together with honorific. I cannot think of any way to make it not sound weird.
T/L note 2: In the original text, 神官 Shen Guan is being used. Shen Guan literally means G.o.d’s officer. They are literally G.o.d’s spokesperson. But it is hard to find a translation for such role so i just used Bishop.
