290 Dragons are Less Reputed as Air Dominators (1/2)

The first floor and the second were full of books and therefore had the smell of paper, but there was nothing but a faint fragrance in this room.

The Holy Lady of Light was quite beautiful, with red hair and green eyes. She seemed warm, but there was innocence and purity in her gaze.

She was petite and looked young. She couldn't be more than fifteen years old.

But that was quite normal. The demands for the Holy Ladies of most religions were devoutness and virginity.

Also, the Holy Ladies were the faces of those religions, so they needed to be both pious and pretty.

Before, the Church of Light paid little attention to the appearance of the Holy Lady as long as she was devoted and capable.

However, the case changed decades ago when the gods convened a meeting on the compatibility issues of the churches.

After all, the doctrines of certain churches were contradictory to those of other churches.

Both the pope and the Holy Lady took part in the meeting.

When a dozen churches gathered at the periphery of the Elf Forest, the Holy Ladies of the other churches were all gorgeous, but that of the Church of Light was only plain.

She did not seem more capable than other Holy Ladies either.

It had been an embarrassment to the Church of Light for years. People mocked in private that they could not find a girl who was both pretty and capable when they had so many believers.

The plain-looking Holy Lady could've kept the position for another ten years, but she applied for retirement only three years later when she heard the rumors.

For the reputation of the Church of Light, she resigned voluntarily and became a bishop elsewhere.

Ever since then, the Holy Ladies who the Church of Light chose were also the pretty ones.

The young Holy Lady nodded at Roland and smiled at him politely.

Then, she looked at Schuck, her eyes glittering. ”Mr. Saint Samurai, is this the friend you referred to?”

Schuck nodded. ”Yes. He's my best friend.”

”Got it.” The Holy Lady took out a thick book from the drawer and put it on the table. ”In the next half-hour, I'll be cleaning the bookshelves downstairs. You can suit yourselves.”

After that, the Holy Lady stood up and left the room.

Roland walked over and opened the book. It was indeed the spell model.

Instead of reading it in a hurry, he turned the pages and took a picture of the magic nodes with the camera function of the system.

Schuck waited quietly.

After a dozen minutes, Roland finally finished capturing the whole book.

Roland was not entirely satisfied, but he did not ask Schuck if he could read more of the books.

What the Holy Lady said and her eventual departure suggested that Schuck was helping him with his power as a Saint Samurai, or the Holy Lady wouldn't have shown Roland the spell model.

”Are you done?” asked Schuck.

Roland nodded and said, ”I've captured all of it. I'll learn and analyze it later. I'm going back to Delpon.”

”You're not spending a few days here?” asked Schuck.

Roland shook his head. ”That's unnecessary. I only want to learn this spell at this point.”

Schuck sighed. ”You're more and more like a pure Mage now.”

”Is it not good? That's a synonym for rationality.” Roland felt that he was in a good state.

He was full of curiosity, and he was much more active than before.

”I don't know if it's good.” Schuck thought for a moment and said, ”But everybody changes, quickly or slowly. Just follow your heart.”

As they talked, they left the room and went downstairs.
