Chapter 23 (2/2)

“As long as G.o.d is in the heart, everywhere is paradise.” Liang Li Dong acts like a devout religious quack, and leads Carl into the house.

Carl smiles bitterly: “Lord, a follower like you, it is the first time I’m seeing it.”

Joan is sleeping on the bed, it awakens after hearing the sounds and says in a daze: “It’s time for lunch already?”

Carl looks at Joan, although his face does not have too much expression, his tone is quite conflicted: “Familiar? Since Lord is already able to contract a familiar, possessing such a strong strength, why are you willing to be a ascetic believer, I think you should be able to fight for the position of bishop.”

Joan sees that there is a guest, it instantly has no energy again and continues sleeping while curling the blanket.

The same reaction as Barbara, seems like contracting familiar really did became a kind of relatively high level technique. This thought flashes through Liang Li Dong’s mind, and then he invites Carl to sit down, and smiles: “This position like bishop, is not a.s.signed to whoever is strong, it is mainly based on whether one is sufficiently devout to G.o.d or not. Towards G.o.d’s ideals, my understanding is not thorough enough, so I can only be a ascetic believer now, and not bishop.”

“Honestly speaking, I’m unable to understand you, believers.” Carl’s expression is very sullen: “At times, very kind, but at times, very wild, especially when they felt G.o.d’s glory is humiliated.”

Liang Li Dong does not answer, what Carl said is the truth, many G.o.d’s believer are very reasonable, but there are also some G.o.d’s believers that are very fanatic, so fanatic that they cannot accept other G.o.ds’ ideology, having crusade from time to time. This actually is purely the doctrine’s problem, based on Liang Li Dong’s experience in the game, many religions’ doctrines were tampered with by men, and became specious.

“I seems to have said too much?” Seeing that Liang Li Dong is not speaking, Carl thought he is slightly angry.

Liang Li Dong shakes his head: “Not really, I’m just speechless, because it is a fact.” He pauses, takes out 3 scrolls from his dimensional backpack, puts it on the table and continues saying: “Lord Carl, you came at the right time, I’ve already completed the scrolls last night. Fortunately, I succeeded 3 times, I wonder if this amount reached your bottom-line?”

Carl’s expression is very serious, his hands are also slightly trembling, he takes the 3 scrolls, after feeling the magic fluctuation in it, immediately be all smiles: “Enough, enough already! I originally though the best result is to have 2 scrolls. I even made mental preparation for a complete failure. After all, I’m too clear how difficult the crafting process of Level 3 magic scrolls is.”

With 3 ‘Dimensional Anchor’ scrolls in hand, Carl’s chance of immobilizing his mind dimension is even higher, because there is even more chance for error.

Liang Li Dong keeping 2 ‘Dimensional Anchor’ scrolls, is actually not considered greedy, because the 2 extra scrolls, is what he deserved. According to statistics in the game, the success rate of crafting Level 3 magic scrolls, is only around 30% on the average, in other words, with 7 sets of materials, normally can only produce 2 scrolls, this is also why Carl said 2 scrolls is already the best results. Liang Li Dong giving him 3 scrolls already made him unexpectedly happy.

Furthermore, Liang Li Dong is the only one who he encountered in the recent few years that can craft ‘Dimensional Anchor’ magic scroll, even if he was given 1……He will still be very grateful.

Carl carefully keeps the 3 scrolls into his robe, and then he says very sincerely: “Lord, you’re my friend forever, I’ll definitely repay you well……Oh right, I came to the village this time is actually because I was requested by someone to deliver a letter to you.”

An exquisite white magic letter is placed onto the table. Liang Li Dong takes it up for a look, it is the invitation card to invite him to Barbara’s 17th birthday, and inviter is Winter Wind City Mayor, Uther-Longman.

Carl is a war mage, being under Winter Wind City’s management is not too strange, but what he is curious about is: “Although I’m also a spellcaster, even if Mayor Uther wants to show that he thinks highly of me, sending a servant to deliver the invitation will do, there is no need to make a honorable spellcaster to come, this does not goes with the rules, this makes me feel slightly fearful.”

“I’m just an errand man!” Carl smiles slightly bitterly.

Making a spellcaster do the legwork……Imperceptibly, he displayed his power, and not make others dislike it, what a move! And is this considered another way of putting me in place? However, to be able to groom a daughter with that kind of bearing like Barbara, Winter Wind City Mayor must be someone very shrewd, having these kind of tricks is nothing strange.

For a while, Liang Li Dong already thought about many things, but his face does not show anything, shaking the magic letter in his hand, he smiles: “Rest a.s.sured, 5 days later, I’ll definitely be punctual for the banquet!”
