I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city
Chapter 121: Widow
Chapter 121: Widow (Second Update)
Perhaps because Cober directly utilized the ruins of Konclay from the Great Arcane Era, the city of Cober is not composed of a castle and a castle town, but like the ancient cities of the Great Zhou, the main urban area is located within the city walls.
Unlike the cramped and densely packed buildings in the civilian area of Cober, the Temple of Woking covers an area of more than 3,000 acres, almost one-fifth of the area of Cober city.
The style of the temple is completely different from the pointed styles of other buildings in the city of Cober. Almost all the buildings are a combination of arches and covered bridges.
It is the most luxurious building complex Fang Yu has seen since he came to the main plane.
The main temple and two side halls of the temple are one building located in the center of the building complex. 99 milky white columns support the two-story temple and the high-ceilinged mass hall in the middle.
In the center of the green arch is Woking's holy emblem - a golden scale.
The midday sun shone on the arch, making the scales sparkle.
Unlike other religious sects that are either sacred or solemn, the Church of Woking focuses on luxury.
Fang Yu had actually evaluated that, based on the two cities he had seen so far, the world's current productivity, even with the assistance of magic, should still lag behind that of Blue Star in the Middle Ages.
But the Temple of Woking in Cobalt looks more luxurious than the Palace of Versailles.
Where soft covering is possible, hard covering is never used; where sculptures can be placed, no blank space is left; where marble is possible, wood is never used; where gold-plating is possible, it is definitely gold-plated. It is even more Baroque than Baroque.
And Cober is merely a diocese of a large diocese, not the main temple of Woking.
As expected, no matter where it is, the Temple of the God of Wealth is the most popular.
As an old noble family and VIP client of the Woking Church, the Belvitt family's lounge was not arranged in the side hall next to the temple, but was specially placed in the residence where the 108th Bishop of Woking lived five hundred years ago.
Other places are already very luxurious, so the bishop's former residence is even more luxurious. Even the gate is made of solid copper and plated with a layer of gold.
This is a round two-story building, and like other buildings, it has a green dome.
The top is green, which means people cannot just focus on making money.
"The person baptized this time in the Belvedere family is only 14 years old. He is the son of Edward Belvedere, the younger brother of Earl Harold Belvedere, and his name is George."
"Edward was killed in the Battle of Redstone Valley last year. He was in charge of the family's winery and herbal medicine business. Before Edward went to the battlefield, Earl Harold promised Edward that if he died on the battlefield, his power would be taken over by his son after he turned 15."
"George will soon be 15 years old. In order to smoothly take over the family business that Edward once managed, Edward's widow, Lady Claudia, hopes that George can be baptized before he turns 15. If he is lucky, it would be even better if he can master one or two divine arts."
While taking Fang Yu to meet the members of the Belvitt family, Barry Salman also introduced some background of the family to Fang Yu to avoid being rude.
The status of a druid is no lower than that of a member of the Belvit family's side branch, but the nobles have many rules and it is easy to offend them if you say something wrong.
As for extreme environmentalists like druids, these honest people will not get angry as long as you don't kill animals or burn the jungle in front of them.
Honest people deserve to be bullied.
"Wait a moment." Fang Yu suddenly felt something was wrong. "Mr. Salman, what did you just say? If you're lucky? In other words, baptism doesn't necessarily mean you can gain divine powers?"
Barisalman then realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and laughed dryly: "That is for ordinary people. Those who are already extraordinary people have a great chance of obtaining divine arts, so don't worry."
This profiteer!
Fuck you!
When they arrived at the door of the former bishop's residence, a silver-haired old man in formal attire was already waiting outside the door. He was Edward's old butler.
"Sir Salman, I guess this is the druid you mentioned? Madam and Master George are already waiting in the living room. Please follow me."
The old butler's etiquette was impeccable. His demeanor was respectful and his movements were standard without the slightest flattery.
The old butler led the two into the living room and arranged for them to sit on soft chairs. Two maids came one after the other and brought hot tea and various snacks.
"Madam, Lord Salman and Lord Druid have arrived." The old butler walked to the side of a screen, lowered his head and spoke softly.
"Victor, thank you." A magnetic female voice sounded from behind the screen.
What do you mean? Why don't you let us see it? Isn't that too polite?
Fang Yu just curled her lips when she saw a woman wearing a black long skirt that trailed the ground, a black wide-brimmed hat on her head, and a layer of black gauze hanging from under the long-brimmed hat walking out from behind the screen.
She was holding a little boy who was only about 14 meters tall. He was years old? He looked like he was about years old.
And madam, I can understand that you use a black veil to cover your face, but can you cover the front as well?
Aren't you being a little too generous?
But it's a good sign.
Can you turn misfortune into good fortune?
"Madam Claudia, this is the Gisdruid who will be attending the ceremony. Gisdruid, this is Lady Claudia and Lord Edward's heir, George Belvitt."
Barry Salman chuckled and his eyes rolled around several times.
There was a hint of sadness in Claudia's voice. She bowed slightly to Barry Salman and said, "Thank you very much for your help this time, Mr. Salman."
Then he turned to Fang Yu and bowed slightly, saying, "Githdruid, please forgive me for being so rude. I just lost my dear husband Edward recently, and I am still deeply saddened."
"Nevertheless, I am delighted to see you at George's christening. Your presence adds a sacred touch to this solemn occasion. Please allow me to welcome you on behalf of my late husband."
The translucent black veil could only vaguely reveal Claudia's facial features. As the veil swayed, her fair and delicate jaw appeared and disappeared from time to time.
I guess his appearance isn't that bad.
Fang Yu also bowed his head in return: "Madam Claudia, thank you for forgiving my intrusion. I came to watch the ceremony only out of my own accord. I was not aware of Lord Edward's misfortune before. For this, I deeply apologize."
"To express my apologies and to bless Mr. Bellwitt's baptism, please accept this gift I bring. It was prepared in a hurry and is not a sign of respect."
After saying that, Fang Yu took out a wooden box from his arms.
The silver-haired old butler took it, opened it and handed it to Mrs. Claudia.
Inside was a champagne-colored silk scarf.
"Silk! Such beautiful embroidery."
Although she was only a branch of the Belvitt family, Claudia herself was born into a noble family and had an extraordinary vision.
Silk is an absolute luxury in the current Nowen continent.
Even the great nobles of Loirac were proud to own silk clothes or bedding, but these silks were actually often defective products sold from the East.
But the scarf in Claudia's hand was smoother than any silk she had ever seen.
She was a noble and took good care of her hand skin. Even so, when she touched the silk, she could even feel the silk being scratched by her skin.
The embroidery of those golden crabapple flowers was so exquisite that she had never seen anything like it in her life, and almost every stitch was neat and tidy.
"Thank you very much for your gift. It is really precious, Lord Gisdruid." Claudia pulled George to bow his head and thank him again.
Talking to nobles is troublesome.
"You're welcome, Madam Claudia. I heard that Lord Edward also did a lot of research on herbs during his lifetime, which happens to be the specialty of us druids. Unfortunately, I am sorry that I was unable to exchange my experience in herbal medicine with Lord Edward."
The regretful expression on Fang Yu's face looked real, except that he blinked a little too fast.
Herbs? An idea suddenly occurred to Claudia.
Recently, some book friends have reported that these two chapters are not attractive enough.
Indeed, the recent chapters have caused some impact due to the deletion of plots.
The original setting was that part of the contents of the Pink Book were obtained from the Lorin Tower and returned to Blue Star for practice. This part of the content happened to be related to Cober in the main plane, so the connection was made.
But this part of the content is a bit too explicit, and I was afraid of something going wrong. Just a few days ago, I wanted to correct a typo, but found that the previous text could not be edited. I thought it would be reviewed again, so I didn’t dare to write it, which led to some problems with the rhythm and plot arrangement.
But it’s not a big problem, it can be adjusted later. I may revise the recent chapters and fill in some of the plots when I have time in the future.
