Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 203: Contract with the Lamp God
"Teacher Xiao Li, I'm the contact person sent by the dean. From now on, you can give me all the new magic you get from the Jinhui Mage Academy. Ah, you can just call me Luo Luo."

"Teacher Xiao Li, this magic is so difficult, can you tell me more about it?"

"Teacher Xiao Li, do you like nun uniforms? I'll wear them for you to see, okay?"

"Teacher Xiao Li, this automatic massage bed that can vibrate up and down is very useful. Why can't the Holy See develop something like this?"

"Thoughts are restricted, which limits the development of science and technology. After attributing all unknowns to divine power, people gave up thinking. So that's how it is."

"Teacher Li, you don't hate the Holy See? Faith can be control or belonging. What does this mean?"

"Teacher Xiao Li, my hometown is very far away. My relatives are also very troublesome. If I want to go back to my hometown, are you willing to go back with me?"

……

……

"Teacher Xiao Li."

"Teacher Xiao Li!"

The sound in his sleep woke Richard up. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and dragged his heavy body to sit up from the chair.

"So tired..." The fatigue coming from the depths of his soul made Richard realize that something was wrong.

When he and Dong Luo were communicating through consciousness, the mental energy consumed was far beyond his imagination, so much so that he didn't even know when he fell asleep.

After knocking his heavy forehead, Richard looked up across the table.

Dong Luo was holding her chin with both hands and looking at Richard with gentle eyes.

"Teacher Xiao Li, please wake up. Someone is here to notify us and ask us to get ready to leave."

"Departing? Where to?" Richard was a little surprised. He didn't hear Dong Luo mention any plans for today the whole day yesterday, so why did he suddenly want to leave?

Dong Luo explained carefully:

"The Lord of Xingge City said that the opening of the church school this time is a good attempt. The City of Travel also wants to arrange for some members to enter the church school to participate in the research and study of divine arts. We are going to hold an enrollment ceremony to recruit some students who are willing to follow us to the church school."

Richard was shocked: "The students of the church school are not arranged by the Silver City, but selected publicly?"

"Yes." Dong Luo said softly: "80% of the students in the Church Academy will be directly arranged by the Silver City, and the remaining 20% ​​will be selected from students who are willing to join the Church Academy.

Talents who can study both divine arts and magic are bound to be rare, and require me to be more patient and careful in screening.

I can’t ask anyone else to help me with this job, I have to do it myself.”

"What about security work?"

"The Lord of Xingge City said that she has already made arrangements."

He was assassinated yesterday, and it was arranged today? Richard glanced outside the door suspiciously, thinking that Dong Luo was probably being used as bait again.

Anyone who has fished knows that after finally finding a place where you can catch fish, no fisherman would be willing to leave after just one catch. Richard put himself in their shoes and thought that he would definitely continue to use winter drops as bait to attract more assassins from the Holy See.

"Forget it, let's go." A bait should have the awareness of a bait. Richard shook his dizzy head and followed Dong Luo out of the room.

As he left the room, he saw Zach lighting the pipe in his hand.

"Huh." Zach blew out a puff of smoke, tapped the pipe in his hand, and asked softly, "It's already 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Why did you sleep for so long and wake up just now? You didn't even eat the breakfast and lunch that the big sister prepared for you.

When young people meet again after a long separation, they have some things to say and some things they want to do. I can understand that, but you also have to be more or less restrained.

It's only the first night and you guys are so obvious, it's hard not to think too much."

Richard really didn't know how to explain how he exhausted himself through soul communication.

He could only come up with a lame excuse to explain: "I'm used to sleeping in Saint Laurent Prison. Now I'm a little reluctant to sleep in my bed. I lay in that room for a long time and couldn't fall asleep. I didn't fall asleep until almost dawn, so I got up a little late."

"Hehe." Zach smiled coldly, looked at Dong Luo, and asked, "What about the little saint girl? He couldn't sleep, so you slept with him?"

"No, no." Dong Luo quickly waved his hands and explained, "I just can't sleep in my own bed."

"He recognizes his own bed and so do you. Did you sleep in the same bed every day?"

"Not really. Occasionally."

"Occasionally... you dare to say that, you are such a cruel boy."

Zach laughed and punched Richard. He shook the pipe in his hand and said to Richard:
“The place where we are enrolling students today is a special building in our Travel City called the Prayer Altar.

have you heard of it?"

"The Prayer Altar!" Richard's eyes lit up. "Isn't that the military zone of the Travel City? The Prayer Altar can recruit djinn whose bodies are made of elements. I've always wanted to visit the Prayer Altar, but I can't apply for a visit."

"That's right. The qualification to visit the prayer altar is tied to the prayer ceremony. On the surface, the qualification to visit appears to be open to the public, but in fact it will only be circulated in a small circle." Zach raised his pipe and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, you will also be in this small circle in the future."

"What is the prayer ceremony?" Richard asked puzzledly.

"The ceremony of contracting the Lamp God." Zack chuckled.

“If you want to obtain the protection of the guardian lamp god, you must go through the prayer ceremony, call the lamp god from the elemental world to come, and sign a contract with them, so as to obtain the protection of the lamp god.

Each prayer altar has a fixed number of guardian djinns that can be summoned each year. They are rare and precious, and not everyone can make a contract with them.

The Lord of Xingge City has opened a special channel for the little saint girl this time, so that she can contract a lamp spirit through the prayer ceremony. Richard, you can also get one by then.

Guardian djinn are good things. They are top-level guards who can protect the safety of mages very well, especially before the mages become legendary.

I, Macedonia, and even Big Sister, were all protected by the genie for a period of time.

The strongest individual among the djinn can even have the strength of 5th to 6th ring, and they are absolutely loyal. When necessary, they can even sacrifice their lives for you. If you are lucky enough to get a strong enough djinn to follow you, it is like having a master guarding you hours a day, without sleep, and ready to die for you at any time.

If you had a djinn guarding you when the angel attacked you yesterday, you would have been pulled back into the car by the djinn the moment you got out of the car. All the magic that was supposed to hit you would have been borne by your djinn. One more djinn is equivalent to one more life.

It may be difficult for you to understand what I am saying. It doesn’t matter. When you go to the prayer altar and see the guardian djinn with your own eyes, you will probably understand. "

Zach smiled and gave Richard a thumbs up, and said softly, "Don't be scared when the time comes."

Scared? Why?
Richard's doubts disappeared immediately after he followed Macedonia and others to the interior of the prayer altar.

As the Macedonian steam train soared into the sky, Richard looked at the prayer altar slowly emerging from the clouds, his eyes full of admiration.

The prayer altar is not in the Travel City, nor in any suburb of the east, south, west or north. It is in the clouds, embedded in the war clouds of the Travel City.

Richard saw that the huge prayer altar was like a temple in heaven, floating quietly above the clouds, surrounded by light mist, as if it was a bridge between heaven and earth, connecting the human world with the realm of gods.

The main structure of the prayer altar is made of flawless white marble, and the surface is inlaid with delicate golden lines. These lines sparkle with a soft and warm light in the sun, which is awe-inspiring like a miracle.

Surrounding the prayer altar are four very different natural phenomena.

In the north, the elements of the earth condense into a green grassland, dotted with colorful wild flowers, full of vitality.

In the east, the element of fire gathered into a blazing fire, and the flames illuminated the entire sky, warm and bright.

In the west, the element of water forms a clear river, the river water flows gently, falls into the clouds, and turns into cotton-like clouds.

In the south, the turquoise wind element turned into a soft breeze, gently swirling and blowing, revealing emerald green air mayflies.

Macedonia, who was driving with one hand, turned around and introduced to Richard:

"You may have seen it in a book. This is the Elemental Land. It used to be very common in the Asha world. But since the Dragon Gods stopped caring about worldly affairs, the Elemental Land has become increasingly rare.

Until now, only large cities that have reached the level of a main city can open the elemental land by gathering enough power. "

"I heard that mages in ancient times could live and cast spells directly in the elemental land, and could even directly absorb the rich elemental energy of the elements to advance.

But now, as the contact between the Elemental World and the Yasa World has become more complicated and chaotic, living in the Elemental Land has gone from a benefit to a danger. "Zack shook his head and said, "Even staying at the Prayer Altar is a dangerous behavior. If you stay there for a long time, the mages will easily absorb too many elements and affect their own elemental balance. Those mages stationed at the altar need to be rotated every month."

Richard was a little curious: "Why did the Elemental Land change like this?"

Iluna patted Richard on the shoulder and said, "This is not a question you should be curious about. When you reach the legendary level, someone will naturally take you to study these things.

Relax, we'll be at the altar soon."

Rumble! The steam locomotive slowly slowed down in the air, passed through the dense elemental zone, and landed on the altar.

Richard looked through the car window and saw a group of mages in colorful robes slowly walking towards them.

Their faces were all serious and heavy, each more serious than the other, and they were unsmiling. They surrounded the car and looked as if they were going to smash it.

"Teacher Li. They look a little scary." Dong Luo carefully approached Richard, but was blocked by Richard with his hand.

"Don't be afraid, we're in the car. Wait for Iluna and the others to negotiate."

Macedonia opened the car window and handed over a document without any further ado.

A wizard in colorful clothes took the document, flipped through it carefully for a while, nodded to Macedonia and said:
"Two contract quotas. Three summoning opportunities for each quota. Tell your contractors to be ready. The elemental fountain will open in half an hour."

The wizard in colorful clothes wanted to return the document to Macedonia, but Macedonia did not take it. Instead, he smiled and asked:

"Sir, there are some lucky mages among those who made contracts this year."

"There is one." The wizard said, "A wizard summoned the Elder Lamp God who controls luck in the Elemental Land.

The Elder Djinn has the ability to predict the future. With the Elder Djinn, he can always stay lucky on the battlefield, while his enemies will be plagued by misfortune.

The Elder Djinn can decide how to bestow luck. He can bring good luck to his own troops, or bring bad luck to his enemies.

This doesn't even require the Djinn Elders' attention; they can do it instinctively, just like breathing."

"Oh, cool." Macedonia whistled and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What level is that Djinn Elder?"

"4 rings."

"Oh? This hasn't even reached the master level yet?"

"It's not that easy for the Master Lamp God to appear." The wizard shook his head. "The last time the Master Lamp God appeared was when the Lord of Xingge City appeared six years ago."

"Then we are here to break the record today." Macedonia knocked on the car door and said to the car: "Richard, little saint, you can get out of the car. This guard wizard will take you to prepare for the contract."

"Okay." Richard followed suit, opened the car door, and got out. Dong Luo followed behind him and also got out of the car.

"Contractors, please follow me." The mage guard looked at Dong Luo strangely, probably because he had never seen anyone wearing nun robes. But he did not ask more questions, but said calmly: "Two contractors, please follow me. We have to hurry, after completing the contract, we still have to select students."

"Wait a moment." Richard stopped him and said, "Hello, guard. This is my first time here and I have never seen the guardian djinn. Can you show me what the guardian djinn looks like?"

The guarding mage was a little surprised. He probably didn't expect that there were people who could come to this place who had never seen the guardian lamp god. But he still nodded and replied:

"Of course. You can watch it then."

Richard's eyes widened as he saw the guarding wizard rubbing his fingers together and saying, "The genie has appeared!"

In an instant, Richard saw an illusory figure suddenly appear behind the guarding wizard!

The figure was as huge as an incarnation in mythology, like cloud, like fog, and like a giant standing tall.

Richard was shocked. The appearance of this lamp god was exactly the same as the giant spirit in Journey to the West!
