After I cultivated immortality, I discussed the theory of lifespan with a long-lived spirit.

Chapter 125 Appointment of Deputy Deacon

One day later.

As dusk approached, the grain convoy finally arrived at Watchtower.

It must be said that Ovira's Dragon Language Blessing was incredibly powerful, saving them a whole day, and there were no side effects after the Dragon Language effect ended.

From a distance, Watchtower City is built on the cliffs of the sea, and on the other side, you can see a vast sea with thick sea fog that stretches to the horizon.

The location of the dock here is obviously not ideal, with only one fishing port, densely packed with many small fishing boats.

In stark contrast to the golden wheat fields outside Blackrock City, the wheat fields outside Watchtower were withered and yellow, shrouded in a thin mist, and looked extremely barren. This was clearly a poor harvest, no wonder there was a food shortage.

As the grain convoy drove along, most of the villages it passed through were abandoned and desolate.

Finally, the convoy arrived at the foot of Watchtower City. Looking up, the city walls were forty or fifty meters high, very thick and sturdy, with many watchtowers and arrow towers on them. Many soldiers in armor could be seen patrolling.

The defenses of Watchtower are visibly far superior to those of Blackrock City.

Because the convoy was quite large, soldiers quickly came to inspect it.

Lin Er was only responsible for escorting them; the handover was naturally handled by the stewards, Walter and Helena.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Illulian temporarily recalled the dragonhawks to Moonfall Forest.

After a series of security checks, the convoy finally entered the city.

At this moment, Helena walked over and said, "The food has been delivered now, and we don't need to worry about the rest. I'll take you to the guild."

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

Lin Er nodded and followed with Luna and Ilulian.

As he walked, he observed the scene within the city.

The streets are filled with orcs, and occasionally you'll encounter dwarves, halflings, or gnomes. In Watchtower, non-human races seem to make up a significant portion of the population, especially orcs.

Helena noticed that Lin'er's self-glow lingered on the orcs and explained, "There are more orcs in the lower city and fewer in the upper city."

"Is Watchtower divided into an upper city and a lower city?"

Lin Er was a little curious.

Helena nodded and replied, "The Upper City is built on the mountainside, making its defenses even stronger. As the deputy deacon, you can obtain a property in the Upper City."

C

That's a pretty good perk.

Lin Er then asked, "How's the situation in the lower city?"

Helena replied, "The lower city is quite chaotic, divided into an inner city and an outer city. We are currently in the inner city."

The four chatted as they walked and soon arrived at the center of the lower city. A rather impressive guild building came into view, with statues standing at the entrance and the ground paved entirely with white marble, bright and clean.

After entering the guild hall, Helena turned to Ilún and said, "Miss Ilún, Deacon Calvin may ask you some routine questions later."

Ilulian nodded calmly: "I know."

As a late-stage fourth-tier superhuman, she knew very well that her entry into the city would inevitably attract the attention of the local powerhouses, and it would be strange if they didn't pay any attention to her at all.

Led by Helena, the group headed towards the third floor of the guild building.

As Lin Er passed the second floor, he caught a glimpse of the guild shop. The shelves were filled with a dazzling array of equipment, many of which glowed with an eerie light, clearly enchanted weapons.

The guild shops here seem to have a much wider selection than those in Blackrock City.

Upon reaching the third floor, a man in his fifties, with a weathered face but an upright posture, walked towards us. He had neatly styled short, gray-black hair and wore a crisp guild uniform, exuding an air of competence.

Calvin looked at Ilurian and bowed deeply to her: "I have read Roslin's letter, Miss Ilurian, thank you for your help."

Ilulian nodded and replied calmly, "No need to thank me, you should thank Lin'er."

Calvin paused for a moment, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

However, he quickly composed himself, took out a wooden box, and said, "Lord Lin'er, what you need is here. We are extremely grateful for your escort of the grain convoy this time."

Lin Er waved his hand and said, "Deacon Calvin, you don't need to be so polite. I'll be relying on you for guidance in the future."

Calvin couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Where's your letter of recommendation? I'll personally take you to complete the procedures for becoming the deputy deacon later."

Lin Erxuan took out the letter of recommendation written by Deacon Roselyn, and Calvin accepted it before leading them to his office.

He took out a form from the cabinet and then a blank deputy deacon identification card.

With the deacon personally handling the process, it proceeded extremely quickly. The red seal fell, and Lin Er officially became the deputy deacon of Watchtower City.

At this moment, Helena reminded him, "Butler, the house deed hasn't been processed yet."

Calvin patted his forehead and said with a hint of sympathy, "Helena, then please take Vice Deacon Lin to the first floor to handle this. I would like to ask Miss Ilulian about some things."

So Lin Er followed Helena out of the office.

As soon as she closed the door, Helena lowered her voice impatiently, "I'll pick out a good spot for you later."

Lin Er said in a deep voice, "I just need a quiet spot."

"No problem, don't worry."

Helena said with a smile.

Back on the first floor, Lin Er followed Helena to the window and quickly completed the house deed procedures.

The guild staff member continued, "Deputy Deacon Lin'er, according to regulations, you will need to undergo another rank test."

Helena quickly said, "Isn't that unnecessary? Lin Er has already been approved by the deacon and has officially joined the company."

She had heard from Roseline that Lin Er had only recently broken through to the second tier, and was likely still in the mid-stage of the second tier. Despite his outstanding combat abilities, the people of Watchtower City had never witnessed it firsthand.

If those people knew that the newly appointed deputy deacon was only at the mid-stage of the second tier, they would probably pounce on him like sharks smelling blood.

The guild staff member immediately looked embarrassed; she dared not violate the rules so blatantly.

At this moment, Lin Er finally spoke up: "Then let's test it."

Helena turned to him, looking puzzled, and whispered, "Don't agree yet. We can go up and talk to the butler. Delaying it for two or three months shouldn't be a problem—"

She really didn't want to see Lin Er, who had only been in office for a short time, being ousted.

Lin Er replied calmly, "No need. I also want to see what my current rank is."

Before he came, he had already thought about how he should deal with the rank test.

I had already asked Flora about this matter in detail beforehand. The level of a superhuman depends mainly on the concentration and purity of the elements in their body.

The magic stone was also tested based on this principle.

The question remains whether spiritual energy can truly be considered elemental power.

Lin Er placed his hand on the testing magic stone and immediately infused it with spiritual energy.

The one-meter-tall purple magic stone suddenly emitted a ghostly light, displaying a line of text:

Element affinity: ? ? ?

Profession:???

Rank: Peak of the second tier.

Helena and Luna, standing nearby, were stunned when they saw this.
