Chapter 87: Madam Mina's Fortune Telling Shop

This afternoon's course is one of the few professional courses that freshmen can get in the seminary.

Therefore, Aiwass and Lily did not wear the usual blue and white school uniforms, but changed into the school uniforms of the seminary. That is, the white robe that looks and functions exactly the same as the priest's uniform except that there is no holy order.

——Because this course is called [Prayer Studies].

It mainly teaches the etiquette and procedures of making different prayers to the nine pillars based on different purposes and needs, in different occasions, and using different materials.

Canons, prayers, sacrifices, etiquette, taboos...

This course is not difficult at all. The only difficulty is a lot of recitation. Because the amount of recitation is so large, this course can only be completed from the first semester of the freshman year to the third semester of the sophomore year.

At that time, Bishop Mathers did not teach Aiwass the sacred skill of "prayer" because this skill was really impossible to teach. The main purpose of the seminary is to spend two years concentrating on teaching these prospective priests how to pray to the Nine Pillars - in addition to the effect of restoring mana, some ritual divine arts must also be used through prayer.

Although priests are mainly dependent on candlelight, they are priests who serve the Nine Pillars at the same time. In other words, the beliefs, heritage and rituals of the other eight pillars also need to be understood and managed. During festivals related to the other pillars, priests will also change into their clothes and hold corresponding ceremonies.

Because of this, priests are the first professions in the Nine Great Daos to deeply contact the knowledge of other paths.

And the lecturer of this course, "Ms. Maya", looks quite young.

She has dark brown curly hair tied into a ponytail, draped over one shoulder. She wears the same red bishop robe as Bishop Mathers, and her pupils are warm and light blue.

Although she asked students to call her "Ms.", she looks like she is only in her twenties. The lively and cheerful temperament on her not only makes students like her, but also makes her look much younger.

Even compared to Lily, who has a calm temperament and always smiles gently like an older sister, Ms. Maya looks younger.

Students also like this young lecturer who is nominally a lecturer but more like a senior.

But only Aiwass knows... If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the rejuvenation brought by the "fire worship method".

She should really be a "lady", married and even have children. It's just that the fire worship can restore her body to an ideal state, restore the pain and aging she has suffered. Let her return to the young body of her teenage years... and after her body is restored, her mental state and personality are also restored.

"...Huh?"

When she first saw Lily pushing Aiwass into the classroom, Ms. Maya looked at him and was stunned.

The blue-haired girl who passed by Aiwas saw this and smiled and explained for him: "This is Aiwass, Ms. Maya. Have you read the "Glass Steps" the day before yesterday? He is the great detective of that day~

"'Teacher Aiwas' legs and feet are not very good, so he has to sit in a wheelchair. Otherwise... you can diagnose him? "

"That shouldn't be necessary, Angela..."

Ms. Maya shook her head: "Please sit down in your seat first."

-Why does he need my diagnosis? If he can really be cured, can't he just use the sacrificial fire himself?

Maya looked at Aiwass again with some strangeness, and performed a strange etiquette to him politely: Maya stretched out her hand, pointed once on her head and shoulders, and drew a triangle.

And Aiwass just smiled gently, put his hands together, crossed his thumbs, bowed his head and closed his eyes to pray.

Seeing this, Maya's attitude towards Aiwass obviously became better.

-This is what Bishop Mathers said when he found Aiwass was fast After learning the fire worship method and coming into contact with the path of dedication, he was specially taught the etiquette.

When the transcendents of the same path are close enough, the superior can sense the path aura and the approximate strength of the inferior. In other words, all the transcendents of the path of dedication in the school can sense that Aiwas has entered the transcendent and completed an advancement ceremony to reach the second energy level.

This is basically the graduation standard.

The gesture that Mathers taught Aiwas is the hand gesture of the priest of the Nine Pillars Church. This is a codeword used to confirm the identity. This is to prevent Aiwas from being treated differently after returning to school.

Ms. Maya's gesture means that she serves the church and has a bishop-level crown.

This is her question to Aiwas, who guided you to the path of dedication?

After all, not all pastors come from seminaries.

How many people can graduate from seminaries in a year... Many rural churches have a master-apprentice inheritance system. They are taught hand-in-hand from a very young age, and they automatically join the church after learning. As long as they are "bishops", they have the power to preach and teach those who are qualified for the path of dedication.

And there is another possibility, that is, no one teaches. Only self-taught through mystical books, and embarks on this path after understanding the mysterious skills of the path of dedication. In this case, his profession may not even be a "pastor". And Ms. Maya may not be so friendly to Aiwas.

Because this means obtaining the extraordinary power of the corresponding path and enjoying the social status of the corresponding path, but not fulfilling obligations or following 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 may 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 get a supernatural profession from a certain path, you can only "advance" and there is no turning back - if Aiwass gets other professions on the consecrated path, 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 Aiwas 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, but someone has taught him.

It 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 felt ashamed of her subconscious suspicion, so she said caringly: "You can sit next to me, Mr. Aiwass. It's not convenient for a wheelchair to go up the stairs."

"That would be troublesome."

Aiwass said softly: "Ms. Meia."

While waiting for other students, Meia sat in her chair and chatted quietly with Aiwass: "I heard about the incident where you solved the case, and I thought you had entered the path of wisdom... ...Unexpectedly, you are actually a priest, and you have entered the second level at a young age...

"I wonder which bishop guided you?"

"It's Bishop Mathers," Aiwass replied.

Hearing this, Meia suddenly opened her eyes with disbelief: "Eh? Mathers?"

"What's wrong?"

Aiwass caught something unusual in her emotions.

"Samuel Mathers?" she asked.

"Yes."

Aiwass realized that Bishop Meia might know Mathers, so he asked, "Do you know him?"

Meia hissed, her expression becoming a little subtle.

She glanced at the students secretly and found that the students were quietly looking over and paying close attention to what was happening on the podium - they seemed to be used to following Aiwass to get something to eat.

So Meia lowered her voice and covered her mouth with her hands.

"My name is Maya Mathers. He is my brother."

…That’s not good.

Aiwass's expression also became a little strange.

Although Meia didn't know it, Aiwass knew that Mathers taught him the sacred skills last Friday. The day after that was the 15th, which meant that Aiwass advanced immediately after he advanced.

This is too shocking!

It's not that bad, it's just too high-profile.

Although not many people may believe this... But Aiwass still likes to keep a low profile.

But fortunately, Meia gave an answer that made Aiwass relieved:

"——But he and I have been falling out for a long time because of his emotional problems. I haven't talked to him for ten years."

She said it was a falling out, but she clearly had a closer relationship with Aiwass because he was Samuel's apprentice.

How could this be a breakdown? It would be better to say that he is angry...

"...So, why?" Aiwass was a little curious.

A little desire for gossip arose in his heart: "What's wrong with his relationship, Bishop?"

"That day Samuel brought back a girl eleven years younger than him and said that this was his wife and they were married."

Meia frowned: "Samuel was 29 years old at that time, and the girl was only 18 years old."

"I remember Bishop Samuel was from Avalon, right?"

Aiwass asked: "Girls should be able to get married when they are 18, right?"

"Yes, men and women can get married at the age of eighteen. The problem is... if most people want to get married, they must have been in love for many years, right? The girl was only eighteen when she got married, so when did they meet Samuel? her?"

When Meia said this, she gritted her teeth and slapped the table in anger: "He also said 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?"

"...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 having said that, Samuel is indeed a bit suspicious...

But soon, Meia's words made Aiwass become a little serious: "Of course, it is possible to fall in love at first sight. But the problem is, later we asked detectives to investigate - she was not from Avalon.

"She is an Iris person, and in the end it is the path of beauty. At that time, the sixth faculty of the Royal University of Law had not yet opened, and an Iris person traveled thousands of miles to Avalon instead of studying at the University of La Cité in her home country. I studied theology and then followed the path of beauty, and when I was just in the first grade, I married my mentor.

"——Do you think this is reasonable? You don't even need to think about it carefully, it looks weird everywhere!"

"...It's really not reasonable."

Aiwass frowned and realized something was wrong: "But Bishop Samuel doesn't seem to be such an impulsive person..."

"That's right! That's what we all said."

Meia whispered: "So we kept telling Samuel to calm down and separate from the girl for a while first! But he didn't listen at all. In the end, he moved out of the house and rented a house by himself. But before I heard a few days ago that he was elected as a spiritual councillor, so at least I don’t have to worry about his life anymore..."

"What's the name of his wife?" Aiwass asked.

"Mina. I forgot her previous surname. She should be called Mina Mathers now... If you do the math, she should be thirty-five years old this year.

"She is running a divination shop, selling divination props and divination for others. But she is not a prophet who is adapted to the path, so what divination ability can she have? She is just a liar... I really don't know why Samuel likes her so much.

"Whenever 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 suddenly mentioned this, and now I am a little curious to know how that woman is doing now. Already..."

Meia clasped her hands together and whispered to Aiwass: "Mr. Aiwass, please help me! I have collected 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 If you really don’t have a chance, it doesn’t matter. As long as you try to ask my brother, I will give you the book——”

But when Meia said this, Aiwass's pupils suddenly trembled.

Not for this reward.

It was because when he heard the name, he suddenly thought of something.

——The name of the mall in the game is "Mrs. Mina's Divination Shop".

Aiwass will never forget this name. He believes that as a player, he will never forget.

...That's it, I have to take a look if I have a chance.
