Chapter 360 Small towns are not necessarily all trivial matters
These two young students are so strong! The bishops of the Moonlight City Light Temple Alliance standing behind sighed.
"Junming, it's not simple here." Tirida has returned to normal. No matter what happened to Jiang Junming, he was the young trainee priest favored by the goddess of care. That is, what he wanted to do. Since he no longer struggled with these issues, Tirida immediately realized what the black water droplet just appeared.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Junming asked without knowing what was going on.
"There is actually a spell trap here, which is not simple." Tireda said.
"What is a spell trap?"
"Uh..." Tirida felt that it was really difficult to communicate with Jiang Junming. It was obvious that he could already ignore the cooling time of the divine arts, but he instantly launched the divine arts, but he didn't even know some of the lowest and most basic knowledge. Tirida sighed again inexplicably that Jiang Junming was really a monster.
"The spell trap is like a trap made by a hunter hunting in the jungle or on the grassland. If someone touches the magic circle, the magic circle will naturally attack and attack the person who touches the magic circle." Tirida thought about it now, but she was still in a cold sweat. The magic trap of this dark magic circle is so powerful. If it weren't for Jiang Junming, she and all the bishops present just now would be in danger.
"Oh, that's right, the person who set up this magic circle is amazing." Jiang Junming said lightly, and he couldn't tell at all that the man looked amazing.

The magic spire towers into the clouds and are the tallest building in every city with magicians.
It is said that the higher the magic spire, the closer it is to the magic net, the more you can feel the purest magic breath. Therefore, the higher the spire of the magicians is, the higher it is, and it is inserted directly into the cloud. If you look up from below, it is difficult to see where the top of the magic spire is.
A magician's spire is a magician busy doing complex magic experiments on a certain floor of the spire. The light of the magic crystal is constantly flashing, and small magic arrays are flashing with various magic lights. The whole room is filled with a mysterious aura.
Suddenly, a small mirror next to the magician radiated a dazzling light.
"Huh?" The busy magician didn't expect such a thing to happen. He subconsciously exclaimed and immediately turned his head to look over. Just as he turned his head, the mirror shattered with a "bang".
The entire mirror shattered and turned into countless glass debris scattered around the wooden frame, reflecting the light flowing from the magic circle, looking colorful and very beautiful.
Seeing the mirror broken, the black-robed magician showed a look of surprise on his face. Then he stretched out his hand from the black magic robe. His fingers were slender, but very thin. There was almost no flesh on the back of his hand. He looked like a skeleton's palm. His fingers moved slightly twice, outlining two magic runes that did not seem to exist in the air. The magician's mouth trembled gently, and he chanted magic spells quickly.
The magic light reflected by the glass fragments falling on the table began to twist with the magic cast by the magician, and then gathered out of thin air into a mirror like light and shadow, and two shadows appeared in the light and shadow.
The shadows gradually became clear, and there were white behind them, with many people standing, but those people seemed to be just the background. They did not show an image. Only the two shadows in the front kept "transforming", from blur to clear. The two faces appeared in the light and shadow.
These two people are Jiang Junming and Tirida. Their figures appeared in front of the magician. When the figures were clear, the magician stopped chanting the spells and carefully observed the two shadows that appeared in the light and shadow.
The magician looked at it for a long time and seemed to have deeply remembered the appearance of Jiang Junming and Tirida in his mind. It was not until he was sure that he had remembered that his dry fingers waved in the air and wiped away the light and shadow. The figures of Jiang Junming and Tirida dissipated and turned into countless spots of light, floating, slowly landed on the table, jumped twice, and then lost their light.
The magician turned around and took out another black robe and put it on his body. Unlike other magicians' robe, this robe was wearing a black hood, which was worn on his head, covering most of his face. The gray hair showed a strand of it on the edge of the black hood, and it moved slightly with the rippling magic aura around it.
In the black magician's robe and black cap, the entire magician's temperament suddenly became gloomy and dark. He slowly picked up a copper basin, filled it with clear water, dripped two drops of potion into the water, and then began to chant spells.
The spells he chanted were not like the magic language commonly used by magicians, and they used to communicate with magic networks. This magic spell was also full of gloomy and weird temperament like the black-robed magician.
Soon, several blurred figures appeared on the water.
The black-robed magician did not continue to cast spells, making the figures clearer. As soon as the figure appeared, he stopped singing spells and looked at the figures and said, "There is a magic circle in Moonlight City that reacts."
Although the figures in the water basin were blurry, they could vaguely see that they were wearing the decoration of the Temple of Light Alliance. Several people heard what the black-robed magician said, and although they could not see their expressions clearly, they could clearly feel their doubts. After a few seconds, a vague voice came from the water basin, "That side could only be done by the God of Darkness. How could there be a believer in the light system?"
The magician wearing a black magician robe sneered, "Isn't this prediction as accurate as the existence below?"
"We don't have time to go through now, and many things have not subsided. You let the power on that side monitor nearby and notify us immediately if there is any movement." said the vague figure in the water basin.
The black-robed magician sighed and said, "Since you have already been predicted and there is such a strange thing happening on that side, it's better to gather your strength as soon as possible."
The blurred figure in the basin seemed not to be discussing with the magician, but just notifying him that after saying that, the originally blurred figure began to move slightly in the basin, and then a ripples appeared in the water in the basin. The ripples rippled, and the figure was hidden in the ripples, making it even more unrecognizable. When the water lines stopped fluctuating, a basin of clear water turned into clear water again, and the figure that had appeared inside had disappeared.
After the call, the black-robed magician looked at Qingshui in a daze, his gray hair hangs slightly, and his whole face is hidden in the black cap, and the shadows are cast down, covering the expression on his face.

The magic circle in the basement of the Dark Sword Guild was purified. Although the matter has passed, there is a dark magic circle in a small city like Moonlight City. And there are magic traps on this magic circle. All the bishops present understand what these mean.
This matter is indeed not as simple as I imagined. The bishops were very nervous. They immediately mobilized all the power they could mobilize and truly investigate this matter thoroughly.
What does the dark magic circle mean? If Moonlight City experiences a demonic siege like Twilight City, the whole city will be razed to the ground. Although the dark aura here does not come from the chaos or evil aura of the abyss, believers who believe in the Dark God are no worse than demons. If Moonlight City faces such a threat... All the bishops know the seriousness of the situation and no one dares to delay.
The power of the church and the city guards started to investigate the detailed situation of the people in the Canglang Chamber of Commerce. Bishop Price asked Little Price to lead the people to start the investigation.
After Little Price asked the client and boss of the Wilderness Herbs, he took the city guards and the priest to the home of the fat Chados and the thin Aider, and brought all the people from their family back for interrogation.
The result of the interrogation was very simple. Fatty Chardos and the thin man Erede's family said in unison that after they were cleared from the church academy in Twilight City, they suddenly wanted to do business. When the people at home heard this, they were very pleased. Because Fatty Chardos and the thin man Erede have always been doing nothing and do evil in Moonlight City. It is not a big deal to continue like this. Thinking about doing business, it is a serious matter no matter what.
After the family gave them two of them a sum of money, they started this Canglang business. The family members were puzzled at first, but they didn't expect that the fat man Shados and the thin man Ailide were really doing business. Although they were bullying and dominating the market, after all... they were all doing business, no matter how they said that.
Of course, the family members of the fat Chados and the thin Aider also knew that they were secretly helping the robbers outside the city to sell stolen goods, but it was not a big deal. Others often helped with such things. As long as they donate enough to the Light Temple Alliance, no one would hold on to this matter. The family members turned a blind eye and thought it was unknown.
This incident was nothing in the past, but now a dark magic circle was found in the address of the Canglang Chamber of Commerce, so this incident is a big deal!
Whether it was the City Council's City Guards or the Church of the Temple of Light Alliance, they had already started to move at this time, and no one dared to delay this kind of thing in Moonlight City. The family of Fat Chardos and the Skinny Aider were found guilty and temporarily detained. Then the City Guards and the Church's forces began to prepare to leave the city to wipe out the gang of robbers.
There hasn't been such a big thing in Moonlight City for a long time. Most of the city guards didn't even have a light armor. After the order to go out of the city to wipe out the thieves group was conveyed, the city guards began to prepare. But according to the current situation, it would take at least two days to prepare.
This is not a matter of rush. After all, the strength of the robbers is not known. War is a matter of life. If you leave the city rashly, maybe the city guards and priests who wiped out the robbers would be killed by the robbers, which would be a big joke.
Little Price told Jiang Junming these things, mainly to give Jiang Junming an explanation. Moreover, Little Price and Jiang Junming are more familiar with them. Some things cannot be said by other bishops, but Little Price can explain them clearly to Jiang Junming, so there is no need to be taboo.
"Junming, this is the situation now. Moonlight City has used all the power it can use. No matter how many things you have, you can't do it right away." After Little Price finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Junming with a little helplessness.
"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Junming said to Little Price with a gentle smile on his face.
"Thank you for your hard work, today you scared my father and other bishops." Little Price was relieved when he saw Jiang Junming was gentle. In addition, he was very familiar with Jiang Junming and often joked in the church academy, so he spoke very directly.
Tirida glanced at Little Price and said, "They are so embarrassed. If it weren't for you, all the priests of the church in Moonlight City would have been sent to the Inquisition this time."
Little Price said awkwardly: "This is the case in the small city. Everyone has been used to it for so many years."
Seeing Little Price's embarrassing expression, Jiang Junming smiled and said, "I grew up in Moonlight City, how can I not know? Since I have dealt with it, then let's do it. I want to care for the church. Do you have time?"
Of course, Tirida had to follow Jiang Junming. After Little Price came back, she received her father's instructions and must get closer to Jiang Junming. After hearing Jiang Junming said this, she hurriedly said: "Of course, let's go together."
After all the night of busy work on the Canglang Chamber of Commerce, it was already bright, and Jiang Junming, Tireda and Little Price came all the way to the Care Church.
Moonlight City is very small. Jiang Junming saw familiar streets and familiar people along the way. He sighed in his heart. He once thought that the orphanage was the whole world, and it was so difficult to get out of the orphanage. Later, by chance, he was sent to the wilderness herbs by the director of the orphanage. He thought that he would live here for a long time, or even die of old age. At that time, his ideal was to live better. But things changed very quickly, and he did not expect that he would become what he is now in just a few months.
Thinking about everything in the past, it really feels like a dream.
The place where the Care Church is located is not far from the slums. It looks even more remote and deserted than the temple of the Care Goddess in Twilight City. The temple is not big and very dilapidated. Jiang Junming has only been here once. He can hardly remember what this place once looked like. This time, he looked at the temple of the Care Goddesss, and sighed in his heart.
When building temples of other churches, at least the foundation will add alchemy arrays that can enhance divine power and magical techniques. However, Jiang Junming did not feel this kind of aura in front of him. He thought that when he came here to build, or the priest who built this temple did not know at all, or he was powerless to ask the alchemist to make an alchemist.
The church that cares for the goddess is very poor... Jiang Junming inexplicably felt expectant when he remembered the temple he was building.
When Jiang Junming opened the gate of the temple, he saw Priest Raphael and another priest praying. Several young men in the temple looked like apprentices came and all came to greet him respectfully. Jiang Junming vaguely remembered that he went to the church academy to study, and seemed to have occupied a place for a certain person here, but Jiang Junming couldn't remember this matter clearly, and he had no way to tell who it was.
O'Neal, who used to be very unfriendly to Jiang Junming, stood at the center of the apprentice and looked at Jiang Junming with a complicated mood. Only a few months have passed? How did Jiang Junming go from an apprentice in the Herbs, a guy who can't even pray to a young priest favored by the goddess of care? Hearing Master Raphael's story about what happened in the Wilderness Herbs last night, O'Neal could also feel the reactions of the surrounding city guards and church priests.
Even if you care for the church, even if you want to mobilize the city guards, you are dreaming. Unexpectedly, when Jiang Junming came back, he was in a mess. The city guards did not sleep all night, and no officer of the city guards dared to complain.
It's really... O'Neal looked at Jiang Junming's body that had become much stronger and sighed in his heart. At that time, Priest Raphael said that this was the guidance of the goddess of care, and he didn't believe it yet. Now, look at it, it's really the case.
Seeing that Priest Raphael stood up, Jiang Junming hurriedly walked forward and said politely: "Prince Raphael, I'll go back to the temple to see, aren't you going to make a holy emblem and a statue of the goddess? Is there any material?"
Priest Raphael said: "There are materials, but I'm afraid there is no way to compare with the materials you made in Twilight City's Holy Emblem and Statue."
Jiang Junming smiled, not caring about it. It would be strange if the Moonlight City Care Church could bring out the materials provided by the Ferionros family and the Great Alchemist of Tisendal.
Looking up, the holy emblem in my memory and the statue of the goddess of care are still there. The holy emblem seems to have not changed much, and when the statue of the goddess is carefully looked at it, it is already a bit decayed. After years of hardship, the color depicted on it has fallen off. You can see many small holes exposed on the wood inside, which are almost decayed.
When Raphael saw Jiang Junming observing the statue of the goddess, he said embarrassedly: "This statue of the goddess caring for the goddess was carved by me when I built the temple. I don't know what the goddess looks like. Moreover, it was very difficult to build the temple at that time, and there was no good material to carve the statue of the goddess, so I just found a statue of the god carved with scraps left in the building of the temple."
Jiang Junming smiled. Care for the church is very poor, and I understand this best. At that time, Priest Elaine threw a sentence, saying that she didn't care about whatever she wanted, but the church was not rich. Gold coins were not seen in the church. It was understandable that Priest Raphael did this.
Tirida sighed in her heart that as long as Jiang Junming is willing, she will become a disciple of the Archbishop of Chenguang Church in Yinyue City, and her future will be limitless. And even if she becomes an Archbishop in the future, it will probably not be too difficult. After all, Jiang Junming is the Archbishop mentioned in the oracle. But he would rather stay in the Church of Care and see what the Church of Care is now. In the city with temples, there is a simple temple, which does not even have a bishop, only two or three priests, and several believers. Even the statue of the goddess has to use the scraps left over from the temple to carve the temple. Will this kind of church have a future? (To be continued...)
