Today’s afternoon course is one of the few professional courses available to freshmen in the seminary.
Therefore, Aiwass and Lily did not wear their usual blue and white uniforms, but changed into uniforms exclusive to the seminary. That is, the set of white robes that is exactly the same in appearance and function as the priest's uniform except that it does not indicate the holy order.
Because this course is called Prayer Science.
It mainly teaches the etiquette and procedures for praying to the nine pillar gods based on different purposes and needs, on different occasions, and using different materials.
Scriptures, prayers, sacrifices, etiquette, taboos
There is no difficulty in this course. The only difficulty is the large amount of memorization. Because of the heavy amount of recitation, this course can only be taught from the first semester of freshman year to the third semester of sophomore year.
At that time, Bishop Mathers did not teach Aiwass the sacred art of "prayer" because this art was really impossible to teach. The main significance of the existence of the seminary is to spend two years teaching these preparatory priests how to pray to the Nine Pillars. In addition to the effect of restoring mana, some ritual magic must also be used through prayer.
Although the priest is mainly dependent on the candlestick, they are priests who also serve the Nine Pillars. In other words, the beliefs, inheritance and etiquette of the other eight pillar gods also need to be understood and taken care of. During other festivals related to pillar gods, priests will also change their clothes and hold corresponding ceremonies.
Because of this, the priest is the first profession on the Nine Paths to have in-depth contact with the knowledge of other paths.
The lecturer of this course, "Ms. Meiya", looks quite young.
She has dark brown curly hair tied into a ponytail, hanging in front of one shoulder. She wore the same red bishop's robe as Bishop Mathers, and her pupils were as warm and light blue as water.
Although she asked students to call her "ma'am," she looked like she was in her twenties. Her lively and cheerful temperament not only makes the students like her, but she also looks much smaller.
Even compared to Lily, who has a calm temperament and always smiles gently like a big sister, Ms. Meiya looks younger.
Students also like this young lecturer who is named a lecturer, but looks more like a senior.
But only Aiwass knows that if nothing unexpected happens, this should be the rejuvenation brought about by the "Fire Sacrifice Method".
She should really be a "lady" who has been married and even given birth to children. It's just that the sacrificial fire can restore her body to its ideal state and restore the pain and aging she has endured. It brought her back to her young body as a girl. After her physical recovery, she also recovered her mental state and personality.
"Huh"
The first time she saw Lily pushing Aiwass into the classroom, Ms. Meia looked at him and was stunned for a moment.
When the blue-haired girl passing by Aiwass saw this, she smiled and explained for him, "This is Aiwass, Mei."Ms. Ya. Did you read the report on the glass steps the day before yesterday? He was the great detective that day
"Teacher Aiwass's legs and feet are not very good, so he has to use a wheelchair. How about you diagnose him?"
"That shouldn't be necessary, Angela."
Ms. Meia shook her head, "You should sit in your seat first."
How can he use me to diagnose? If it's cured, he can just use the sacrificial fire himself
Meia glanced at Aiwass again a little strangely, and gave him a strange courtesy. Meia stretched out her hand, and touched her The head and shoulders each dot once to draw a triangle.
Aiwass just smiled gently, clasped his hands, crossed his thumbs, lowered his head and closed his eyes in prayer.
Seeing this, Meia’s attitude towards Aiwass obviously changed for the better.
This is the etiquette specially taught to Aiwass by Bishop Mathers after he discovered that he quickly learned the method of sacrificing fire and came into contact with the path of consecration.
When extraordinary beings on the same path are close enough, the higher-ranking person can sense the path aura and approximate intensity of the lower-ranking person. In other words, all the extraordinary devotees on the path of devotion in the school can detect that Aiwass has stepped into the extraordinary, and completed an advancement ceremony to reach the second level.
This is basically the graduation standard.
The gestures Mathers taught Aiwass were the code words used by the clergy of the Church of the Nine Pillars to confirm each other's identities. This is so that Aiwass will not be treated differently when he returns to school.
Ms. Meia's gesture means that she serves the church and has a bishop's crown.
This is her asking Aiwass, who guided you to your path of devotion
After all, not all priests come from seminaries.
How many people can graduate from the seminary in one year? Many township churches have a master-disciple succession system. He was taught step by step from a very young age, and after learning, he automatically joined the church. As long as you are a "bishop", you have the authority to preach and teach the sacred arts to those who are qualified for the path of devotion.
And there is another possibility, that is, no one teaches. Self-taught using only occult texts, he embarked on this path after understanding the mysterious techniques of the path of devotion. In this case, his profession may not even be "pastor." Ms. Meia may not be so friendly to Aiwass.
Because this means gaining the extraordinary power of the corresponding path and enjoying the social status of the corresponding path, but not fulfilling obligations or following the rules.
It's like someone has acquired the mysterious skills of the authoritative path through the tantra books of the authoritarian path or other types of occult books. Then the high-ranking supervisor might mistake him for one of his own, because he senses the aura of the authoritarian path from this person. This may lead to the emergence of "fake supervisors" and "fake pastors".
And there is a more serious problem, that is, you can only step on the same path once. As long as you obtain an extraordinary job from a certain path,If Aiwass gets other professions on the path of devotion, he will never be able to become a priest. According to the rules of the church, the "sacred skills" carefully selected by the church cannot be easily leaked.
If Aiwass was led in by someone, he would definitely be able to understand Ms. Meia’s code words.
The gesture Aiwass responded to means that he is now just a "prayer". He has not received a religious crown, has no teaching position, and is not currently working for the church. He has only been taught by someone.
That doesn’t matter. Meia didn't care whether she worked for the church or not. As long as it's not another profession with the same path, that's fine.
Meia was ashamed of her subconscious suspicion, so she said caringly, "Sit next to me, Mr. Aiwass. The stairs are not convenient for wheelchairs."
"That's troublesome."
Aiwass said softly, "Ms. Meiya."
While waiting for other students, Meiya sat in her chair and talked with Aiwass chatted in a low voice, "I heard about the incident where you solved the case. I thought you had already entered the path of wisdom. Unexpectedly, you turned out to be a priest. And you entered the second level at a young age." Level
“I don’t know which bishop guided you”
“It was Bishop Mathers. "Aiwass replied.
Hearing this, Meia suddenly opened her eyes with disbelief. "Hey Mathers"
"What's wrong"
p>Aiwass caught the anomaly in her mood
"Samuel Mathers" she asked
"Correct. "
Aiwass realized that Bishop Meia might know Mathers, so he asked, "Do you know him?"
Meia hissed, and her expression became a little bit... Subtle.
She glanced at the students secretly and found that they were quietly looking over and paying close attention to the movements on the podium. They seemed to be used to following Aiwass to eat melons. < /p>
So Meia lowered her voice and covered her mouth with her hands.
“My name is Mea Mathers. He is my brother. ”
That’s not good.
Aiwass’s expression also became a little weird.
Although Meia didn’t know it, Aiwass knew it. Mathers taught him the sacred skill on Friday, the day after that, which meant that Aivas advanced immediately.
This is too shocking
It’s not that bad, it’s just too high-profile.
Although not many people may believe this, Aiwass still likes to keep a low profile.
But fortunately, Meia gave an answer that made Aiwass feel relieved
“But he and I have been falling out for a long time because of his emotional problems. . I haven't talked to him in about ten years. ”
It’s just a jokewas broken, but she clearly became closer to Aiwass because he was Samuel's apprentice.
This is not a breakdown, but rather a sign of anger
"So, why?" Aiwass was a little curious.
A little desire for gossip arose in his heart, "Teach him what relationship problems he has"
"Samuel brought back a girl eleven years younger than him that day. , saying that this is his wife, and they are already married."
Mea frowned, "Samuel was 29 years old at that time, and the girl was only 18 years old."
" I remember Bishop Samuel is from Avalon."
Aiwass asked, "Girls should be able to get married when they are 18 years old."
"Yes, men and women are 18 years old." You can get married. The problem is that if most people want to get married, they must have been in love for many years. The girl was only eighteen when she got married. So when did Samuel know her?"
When Meia said this, she gritted her teeth and slapped the table in anger, "He also said at that time that he had just met her not long ago and it was love at first sight. Do you think I would believe it? Should my parents believe it?"
"That's true." It’s not completely impossible, right?”
Aiwass’s expression was a little subtle. It seems that there is no concept of "flash marriage" in this era.
But in this way, Samuel is indeed a little suspicious
But soon, Meia's words made Aiwass become a little serious, "Of course, there is a possibility of love at first sight. But. The problem is, we later asked detectives to investigate and she was not from Avalon.
“She is from Iris, and in the end, she is the Path of Beauty. At that time, the sixth faculty of the Royal University of Law had not yet opened. Instead of studying at the University of La Cité in his country, a man from Iris came all the way to Avalon to study theology and then follow the path of beauty. And when he was just in the first grade, he married his tutor.
"Do you think this is reasonable? You don't even have to think about it carefully. It looks weird no matter how you look at it."
"It's really not reasonable."
Ai Hua Si frowned and realized something was wrong. "But Bishop Samuel doesn't seem to be such an impulsive person."
"That's what we all said."
Meia whispered, "So we kept telling Samuel to calm down and separate from the girl for a while, but he didn't listen at all. In the end, he moved out of the house and rented a house by himself. But a few days ago I heard that he was elected as a spiritual councillor, so at least there is no need to worry about his life."
"What's the name of his wife?" Aiwass asked.
"Mina. I forgot her previous surname. She should be called Mina Mathers now. If you think about it, she should be thirty-five years old this year.
"She He runs a divination shop, sells divination props, and also provides divination for others. But she is not a prophet who is adapted to the path. If she has any divination ability, she is just a liar. I don’t know why Samuel likes her so much.
"What are youIf you have time, you might as well go to his home and have a look. After all, you have a mentor-apprentice relationship, and it is normal to visit your mentor. You just mentioned it suddenly, and now I'm a little bit curious about how that woman is doing now."
Meia clasped her hands together and whispered to Aiwass, "Mr. Aiwass, please help me collect it." A tantra book on the path of devotion that I like very much, I can give it to you when the time comes. Of course, if you really don’t have the chance, it doesn’t matter. As long as you can try to ask my brother, I will give you the book."
When Meia said this, Aiwass's pupils suddenly trembled.
Not because of the reward.
But when he heard the name, he suddenly thought of something.
The name of the mall in the game is "Mi." Mrs. Na's fortune-telling shop.
Aiwass will never forget this name. He believes that he will not forget it if he is a player.
If I have a chance, I will. I have to take a look.
