100: Chapter 10 Trials Are Not Smooth Sailing _2 100: Chapter 10 Trials Are Not Smooth Sailing _2 “So many books…” Liu Zhenhan also posed as scholarly and stood in front of the bookcase; he knew that many elders liked offspring who read books, although he had no interest in these books, he still pretended to be very interested, and diligently took out a book with iron-clipped corners and started flipping through it with relish.
The cover of the book in beautiful Beamon Mongolian script was marked with four large characters – “Ceremonial Code”.
Opening the cover, the thick pages of Tocharian lamp wick grass gave his fingers a very comfortable and unencumbered feeling.
“Even better than Mo warehouse paper,” Liu Zhenhan candidly gave this kind of high-quality, expensive paper an expert level evaluation.
“Master, there are so many beautiful clothes!
This is the first time I’ve seen so many good looking clothes!” Helen threw herself into the arms of her mentor and acted spoiled.
“Helen, although your mentor is a priest, she is also a young woman…” Medusa turned her head back and giggled: “Even though the beauties among the Beamons are all foxes like you, your mentor should also be allowed to have some hobbies too…”
“Women should treat themselves better.” Liu Zhenhan lifted his head from reading and nodded.
This humorous comment did make Medusa’s gaze at Liu Zhenhan change a bit.
“Richard, it seems that many people have underestimated your talent.” Cui Beixi got up from her desk, took two horn cups filled with water, and placed them on a bronze flamingo’s beak on the wall.
A faint trickle of water, carrying rising steam, flowed into the cup.
“Master Cui Beixi, I accept your compliment.” Liu Zhenhan put down the book in his hand and accepted the offered water.
Medusa twisted her waist and glided over to the desk, opened a drawer, took out a bag, and threw it to Liu Zhenhan.
“Magic Beast Crystal Nucleus?” Liu Zhenhan opened it and was taken aback.
The bag was full of Magic Beast Crystal Nuclei the size of pigeon eggs, some hexagonal, some round, and some triangular.
Each crystal nucleus was glowing with an unusual light.
Inside the nucleus, it seemed like there was a fog, with an unknown world hidden behind the mist, full of mysterious power.
“These are the crystal nuclei I’ve hunted on my travels over the years, and now I’m giving them all to you two.” Cui Beixi sat on the bed, gently kneading her colorful tail. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novelꜰire.net
Helen was envious of this very feminine gesture.
“Then we won’t be polite and…” just as Liu Zhenhan was about to put them away, Helen interrupted him.
“It’s too valuable!” Helen frowned, holding Liu Zhenhan’s hand and looked at her mentor Cui Beixi in puzzlement: “Dear mentor, didn’t you always teach me that a priestess’ self-cultivation must be diligent and all rewards must first come from her own effort?
Why are you giving us these crystals today like a doting elder?”
“Silly girl…” Medusa pursed her lips and smiled bitterly: “I don’t want you two to lose face in vain!”
“Lose face?” Liu Zhenhan was a bit confused, “Why would we lose face?”
“Witherspoon of the Northeast Province is a Fox Tribe city, not only the priests of our Witherspoon temple, but all the priests of the kingdom, whether they are soul priests collecting magic pets or war priests hunting crystal nuclei to make instruments, have never left the Donau Wasteland, they always held their ceremonies in the fluoride alkaline forest ruled by the Wolf Tribe on the border line.
Even the advancement of knights in the kingdom is carried out there.” The gentle gaze of Master Cui Beixi shone on her two juniors: “Do you know what level of priest advancement trials the South Cross Star Forest and Sunset Swamp represent?”
Both of them shook their heads in confusion.
I was too focused on getting you to do self-practice, I overlooked my duty as a tutor.” Cui Beixi shook her head in self-reproach, signaling Helen to sit on the bed as well.
“Dear Helen…” Medusa gently stroked the little fox’s face: “The Southern Cross Star Forest is also known as Death Forest, and Sunset Swamp is also known as the Bottomless Magical Abyss.
These places are all testing grounds for War Shamans to advance to Scepter Shamans!
The magical beasts from those two places have been continuously tormenting the heartland of the kingdom.
The Wolf Tribe, Pier’s Legion, and the Swans of the Smey Clan who are stationed there, they are there not only to guard against the potential threat of the Giants, Elves, and Druid Kingdom from within the Southern Cross Star Forest.
Their main purpose is also to prevent the magical beasts from the Southern Cross Star Forest and Sunset Swamp from invading the life of the Beamon civilians.”
“A testing ground for Scepter Shaman’s promotion?” Liu Zhenhan had his mouth wide open, it took him a while to digest what he had heard: “Obischillaci!
We are just advancing from Soul Shaman to War Shaman!
Isn’t this skipping levels?”
“Your performance today was too outstanding!” Even though Cui Beixi didn’t seem angry, it was clear she was a bit mad: “You made the two honorable Scepter Shaman lose face today, think about it, if Shaman Wei An didn’t make some balancing moves, how outraged the shamans would be!
If you were a true Dragon Shaman it might have been acceptable, but you lost your Dragon Beast!
How can these prideful shamans swallow this blow?”
Then let them have it cooked and swallow.
Liu Zhenhan thought to himself.
“Don’t be so stubborn, my boy.” Medusa smiled gently: “You may not know yet, but the rights of the Scepter Shamans are enormous.
The number of Shamans in the kingdom has always been in a trough period, in fact, it’s the same in the entire human kingdom, due to the large-scale decline of Elemental Flux, the number of mages and shamans is nowhere near what it was in the Heigar battle a thousand years ago.
Scepter Shaman can be considered to be close to the top of the Shaman pyramid.
Aside from Great Shaman Wei An, the Twelve High Priests, and the Cardinal, Scepter Shamans are the highest ranking shamans.
Many commoners in the kingdom live their whole lives without the honor of seeing one.”
“That exaggerated?” Liu Zhenhan looked at Helen, Helen nodded at him affirmatively.
“Far more than that.” Cui Beixi spoke with a smile: “The Scepter Shamans hold real power in their respective families.
Just think about it, even a War Shaman can already hold a title and a mining village, let alone a Scepter Shaman?
Among the two Lords of the Wolf Tribe that you offended today, Lord Redkenap is even one of the front runner candidates for the next Wolf Clan leader.
The Fawkes of the Northeast Province has always been under the shadow of the Wolf Tribe.
As a vassal of the Fox Tribe, you offended a high-ranking noble.
You can imagine the subtle relationship here, right?
A lot of what Master Qi Dan did was, in fact, out of consideration for me and was deliberately biased towards you.”
“This complicated?” Helen’s eyes glowed, staring intently at her instructor.
“Dear Helen, being a Shaman is not as simple as just learning to chant battle songs.” Medusa looked at her favored disciple: “I’ve always kept you away from these things.
I’m afraid these things, though not unmentionably dirty, are truly disgusting and may tarnish your beautiful soul.
Unfortunately, you’ve progressed far faster than I anticipated.
I thought you’d need at least another year before reaching the War Shaman level.
I didn’t expect you to experience ‘Natural Evolution’ so quickly.
Praise the gods, this time, it was just an accident.”
“Again rights and political intrigue…” Liu Zhenhan felt a little despairing, he never imagined that even the Orcs could be so complicated.
Damn it, that prince must have been behind all this mess!
Liu Zhenhan recalled the Lion-Tiger Prince Richard and the Great Shaman’s secret whisper.
Liu Zhenhan made up his mind secretly.
Sorry, it took a bit longer to revise the chapter this time.
Thank you for your patience.
