Just when Sean was bored, Charles sent him a text message: "How is the potion working?"
Sean replied: "Not yet."
Not only did Connie see nothing when she entered his dream this time, but he also saw all of Connie's life experiences in this lifetime. He couldn't possibly drink the forgetfulness potion himself, could he?
Charles was surprised by Sean's quick reply: "You're still awake?"
Sean casually said, "So exciting."
Charles: "What a coincidence. I'm excited too."
Sean: “Are you on drugs?”
Charles: "?"
"You're on drugs."
How come this guy is always so talkative?
His thumbs moved quickly on the phone keyboard, typing and asking Sean: "Guess where I am now?"
"Airport!"
"/grin, I'm on my way to the address you sent me yesterday."
Sean: "?"
"What are you doing here?"
Charles also knows about Alola Town?
Or……
"/Be careful, you're not going to bring me a blade again, are you?"
Charles: "/roll your eyes, dog author, don't take yourself too seriously."
"I know where you are."
This was not the first time he had seen the address Sean gave him, as he had several clients there.
Charles himself had also been to Alola Town, for the same reason as this time, to observe the teacher making medicine on site, and to ask the teacher some questions and doubts he had encountered during this period.
The difference is, this time there's something else going on.
Charles said proudly: "Do you know who my teacher is? A famous witch!"
"In the entire virtual world, the number of alchemists who are qualified to be compared with my teacher can be counted on one hand."
Wizards cannot live without potions. From the first rank to the tenth rank, potions are indispensable for practicing magic. So an outstanding alchemist often has powerful connections that far exceed those of other wizards of the same rank. As long as you want to find someone else to make potions for you, you have to give them face.
This time, his teacher, the witch, mobilized the power of her connections and planned to take the opportunity of refining medicine to introduce him to several important figures. It was said that among them there was a super genius who cultivated from rank one to rank two in just one week. This was a speed he could not even dream of.
"It just so happens that you're there too. We should go have a meal after we're done."
Charles said, "I'll think of a way to get the teacher to agree to let me bring someone with me. You can also come over and make yourself familiar with the teacher."
No matter what era or circle, people always pay attention to the ways of the world, and wizards are no exception.
Those who can enter Alola Town are all trustworthy people. Knowing more important people will be beneficial to your future development.
"Don't thank me, we are friends."
Charles said with his nose turned up to the sky: "Remember to leave time for the two days of abstinence. Don't be late."
……
Chapter 54 Abstinence Day
The Day of Abstinence is the greatest festival in the land.
Regardless of the time difference, clocks around the world will ring at the same second.
This bell sound has a name, called "the time of God's birthday", which means that the god who protects all living beings comes to the world at this moment, so the abstinence day is also called "God's birthday day".
Such a grand and sacred festival naturally cannot last only one day.
It is said to be "sun", but it is actually "moon".
每年的9月8号到10月7号,这30天内,都是禁欲日。
As the name suggests, during the abstinence days, no one is allowed to have sex, otherwise it will be regarded as desecrating the sanctity and disrespectful to the gods.
In this world where religions are almost unified, this prohibition is above everything else. Once someone is found eating the forbidden fruit, there is only one outcome - like a wizard, he will be burned alive as a heretic.
In addition, the families of both parties who violate the rules will be severely punished and despised. If they show any dissatisfaction or question the implementation of the ban, they will most likely be implicated.
Many local police stations usually go to work or perform tasks by fishing for three days and drying fish for two days, and they will get away with it as long as they can. However, during this month, they dare not relax at all. Everyone will strictly follow the special system during the abstinence day, work 16 hours a day, and conduct carpet inspections of their respective areas.
Of course, no matter how much we patrol, there will always be some fish that slip through the net.
After all, there are billions of people in the world, and it is impossible for them to knock on every door to check. Some of them are fast and can finish the work in the time it takes to go to the toilet. By the time you receive a report call and rush over, all traces have been cleaned up and you can't even smell the smell.
There is no shortage of brave people in every era.
There is no shortage of people who are optimistic.
Therefore, there was one more law in this world:
"During the abstinence day, the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty' will be abolished and replaced by 'guilty until proven guilty'."
If you burn a few more of them to death, they will behave themselves.
Moreover, these people are only a minority after all. Most of them are energetic young people under the age of 20. When they reach middle age, they will know that this kind of thing is not as important as they imagined. A month can be easily endured. It cannot even be said to be "endured". For some men who are unable to do it, this is a reward instead.
They will release their desires in advance, no longer have any desires, take their families out for a trip, or stay at home playing games, and enjoy this once-a-year holiday.
Although everyone loses sex this month, they can also gain the "freedom" that is difficult to have under normal circumstances.
All schools are closed, whether they are primary schools or universities. Some less important enterprises and companies will choose to receive subsidies and allow employees to take paid leave after obtaining government approval. Only positions that are not allowed or unwilling to take leave will continue to operate, and employees who go to work will receive triple salary.
Therefore, on the abstinence day every year, all major cities and tourist attractions are very lively.
Except that men and women cannot have sexual relations, it is almost the same as other holidays.
Whether it is day or night, you will find people everywhere, especially in commercial areas like pedestrian streets, because shopping can not only relieve work pressure, but also effectively prove your innocence like raising your hands and typing with your feet.
However, before completely putting work aside and enjoying the holidays, people must do one very important thing, which is to go to any church to confess and pray, drink holy water, remember the appearance of the Lord, and prove their faith and loyalty to the Lord.
Since the number of churches in each city is relatively limited, or in other words, the number of priests is limited, going to church to pray usually requires an appointment and queuing. In order to speed up efficiency, many churches will hire some qualified priests at this time to help share the workload.
For example, the church in Alola Town.
At this time, Sean put on the priest's clothes and stood in front of the mirror with a blank face.
Behind him was the smiling Iris and the smiling Elviri.
"Very good." Iris praised, "It's true that she is good-looking, and she looks good in anything she wears."
Sean was speechless for a while: "I've never been a priest."
"It doesn't matter. It's just a formality anyway." Iris blinked and said, "Just take it as an opportunity to get to know the local conditions and customs of our town. After all, you may live here for a long time in the future, and you can't go anywhere else. Don't you think so, Mr. Sean?"
Sean: "..."
Iris has asked someone to help him get a new identity, so it won't be soon. Even if he does, the cities outside are not as safe as Alola Town. So what Iris said is indeed right. If he doesn't want to live in fear every day, settling down in the town is the best choice.
but--
"Isn't it the 8th yet?"
Today is September 9th, and the abstinence day will officially begin tomorrow.
"We have to familiarize you with the process first." Iris said.
Even though it's just a formality, you have to act like it.
The town of Alola is not really an isolated paradise. This place is recorded in the town documents of the Xirakel State Government. It is just disguised as a normal town by the Dawn Council. Although everyone here is a wizard, you won't see anyone using magic outside.
There is also a huge magic circle buried under the town, which can cover up the magic fluctuations emanating from the wizards. Even if the crows come, they will not be able to detect anything unusual.
Correspondingly, they must behave as much as possible like other ordinary people, and their actions must be consistent with their identities in order to truly hide.
"Okay, okay." Sean sighed, "Teach me."
Who asked him to borrow 100,000 yuan from the two women?
I am grateful to those who have helped me. This time, I am playing the role of a priest, so I should just work for them and pay the interest.
"Here are the lines. You'll understand after you take a look. They're very simple." Out of some personal preference, Elise liked to see Sean "surrender". With curved eyes, she handed Sean a small note with only a few words on it.
There is really nothing to teach the temporary priests. It's nothing more than "the Lord will forgive you" and "the Lord has heard your prayers" and so on. In comparison, the most difficult thing to get is the priest "qualification certificate", which requires one to be loyal to the Lord, serve the Lord for life, and pass a test of faith. None of these wizards can pass it.
But they managed to find the person who checked the priest's identity.
Seeing that Sean had almost memorized the words, Iris asked the nun to bring in a basin of water: "This is holy water. Don't forget to let them drink it."
The holy water in the mortal world and the holy water in the wizarding world are two different things. It has nothing to do with the Fountain of Enlightenment. Sean doesn't know what the water is made of, but suddenly he remembers that he used to drink it every year. At that time, he didn't know that his enemies were everywhere in the world.
"Don't tell me this water is poisonous," Sean said.
"Don't worry, Mr. Writer, it's not poisonous." Iris joked, "At most it will keep you from having children for a month."
Sean: "?"
"Is there a contraceptive in this?"
"You can say that."
"But that is real holy water, ours has been replaced." Iris said.
Although they had confirmed long ago that the holy water distributed by the church was non-toxic, they were still uneasy about drinking things given by the enemy, so they replaced it all with overnight boiled water and added some alchemical potions to imitate the taste of holy water.
This potion was specially made by a very powerful alchemist. Not only is it harmless to drink it, it can also strengthen the body and improve physical fitness. It can be regarded as a free benefit given by the Dawn Council to its own wizards.
And this great alchemist is now in the church.
"Just remember to prepare it roughly, don't keep people waiting too long."
Iris took Sean's original clothes and motioned for him to change into them. "Come on, let's go meet Mr. Witch together."
Sean: "?"
Witch?
gentlemen?
Chapter 55 Witch (Please read it~)
Sean followed the two women to the reception room and soon met the alchemy master who even Elviri said was very powerful.
Generally speaking, those who can be called "masters" are mostly older. According to the stereotype, rich life experience and decades of accumulated professional knowledge are the most important parts of the title of master, similar to "professor".
The witch looked very young.
Although she is not as old as the innocent 18-year-old boy like him, she is at least more energetic than Sopea. She is probably not older than Kate, at most thirty years old.
Just now in the corridor, Iris told him that the witch wanted to meet him today just to understand his basic physical condition and characteristics so that she could prescribe medicine for "Zheng" and give him the most effective alchemy formula. The real alchemy would be done tomorrow.
So this meeting was not actually formal, it was just like getting to know each other in advance and saying hello.
However, the witch was dressed very "grandly" - her hair was combed neatly, and it was as shiny black as her leather shoes, and the light was reflecting on her head. She was wearing a brown evening dress with a swallowtail style and an exquisite rose badge on her chest. Sean thought that Elise had gone to the wrong place and came to a ball venue.
But it doesn't.
The witch is indeed a gentleman.
Elise noticed Sean's subtle expression, leaned over to his ear and laughed softly, "Who says witches can't be men?"
Sean: "..."
Then can he also change his online name to Pure Female College Student?
"Sorry for the wait, Mr. Witch." Elviri greeted the man with a smile.
Seeing the three people coming, the witch also stood up, with a gentle and polite smile on her face. She placed her left hand on her chest and bowed slightly in return: "It's my pleasure. Miss Flame Crow and Miss Iris are still as beautiful as ever."
"This should be Mr. Sean, right?"
He looked at Sean and said with a smile, "Hello, I'm Lanter Gwenster, you can call me a witch. It's our first meeting, and I hope you can give me your guidance, Mr. Sean."
Sean said hurriedly: "Mr. Witch, you are too polite."
It was the first time he had seen a fifth-level wizard who was so humble and polite. The key point was that he was only a second-level wizard. This was completely different from Sopea's cold style. The whole thing was so "elegant" that he almost couldn't handle it.
