Chapter 6: Sweet Journey

There are still five days left in the next trip, but Xavier can't stay for a day anymore. After a long day, he proposed to go back alone first, because Fenris Island can visit the priests' practice.. Alsace also felt that if he allowed him to stay with him any longer, he might secretly release the animals. Although he agreed with Xavier's point of view, as a prince, he could not ignore the consequences, so he readily agreed to Xavier's request. requirements.

The Hillsbrad Hills in midsummer are indeed a good place for collecting herbs. There are buckgrass, heather, and if you're lucky, you can even see devil's grass. Xavier's mind is now filled with how to make a new drink, which is his other main hobby besides taking care of Invincible. Use magic emperor grass? Xavier quickly denied his judgment. Herbs with unknown properties might kill people, so he might as well use heather. After all, no one would want to drink a bitter healing medicine like tripe. Maybe Xavier thought for too long, and even Mary, who was traveling with him, was tired and snored while lying on the soft grass."My God," Xavier said, becoming more and more sure that he could become a priest and could meditate for so long. Of course, this was purely self-deprecating.

Who is that? A graceful figure not far away is busy with something. The white silk cloak gently blows with the summer breeze, disturbing the long flaxen hair."She must be a lovely girl," the sun in Xavier's heart was so hot that he believed it must be an angel waving to him."Hi, hello, what are you doing?" Xavier thought about the words for a long time and was immediately retorted by the other party."First of all, I don't call you Hi, call me Marissa. Didn't you see that I am busy picking weeds?" ," The girl turned around, her flaxen hair swaying in the wind, her brown-black eyes shining brightly like black pearls in the night sky, holding her waist with one hand and breathing heavily, the skirt of her chest had been Soaked in sweat. But she still had enough energy to teach Xavier a lesson,"You seem to be very leisurely. If you are really so bored, just help me pick grass. If you go back too late, senior priest Cardson will have to teach people again."""He must be my angel." When Xavier first saw Marissa, he felt that this girl must be the object of his affection. Although she does not have the noble temperament of Jaina, what does it matter? Only people like Arthas Only a handsome prince is worthy of the noble Jaina.……

"Why are you giggling? It's time to get to work."Marissa's scolding interrupted Xavier's dream,"Yes, I am willing to serve you, my lady.""Our task is to collect 100 buckwheat and 100 heather. Originally, I didn’t know how to complete such a heavy task. Now that I have you as a helper, it will definitely be much easier for me.""Look, this is heather." Marissa held up a dark green curled grass plant and said,"That's heather." Marissa then held up a bunch of heather that was crowded together with small orchids. Xavier looked."Let’s get started."Marissa returned to the work of collecting herbs. Of course, Xavier also quickly threw himself into the work. Collecting herbs was originally his best job besides raising horses. In order to listen more to Marissa's beautiful voice like an oriole. Deliberately mistaking swiftgrass for heather, which provoked a scolding from Marissa,"I really found a stupid helper,""Oh, my mistake, I will never make it again.""Haha, I believe this must be my best day," Xavier was secretly happy. The sun began to set, and Mary dragged two large bags of herbs, her pace obviously heavy. The silver pine forest in midsummer has dense branches and leaves, and the fragrance of pine and cypress makes her feel Marissa is a little drunk

"You are a priest, you must have the power of the Holy Light," Xavier expressed his longing for the priest he admired."I am still a trainee priest, and the Holy Light has not given me enough power yet. Sooner or later I will To become as great a priest as Archbishop Alonsus."Marissa's ambitious goal has also become Xavier's goal,"Yes, my dream is also to be a priest and save more lives with holy light. Although I once wanted to be a paladin, I will definitely do it in the future. The goal is to become a priest," Xavier said with certainty. Marissa on the side could not help but laugh,"You are too greedy, be careful that you will not be able to achieve the last two goals.""So what, I am very devout to the Holy Light. I don’t like to use the Holy Light for fighting. Giving life to people peacefully is my ideal. Marissa pretended to be serious and said,"When you meet High Priest Cudson, you will feel that becoming a priest is almost impossible."""Why. Xavier had some doubts."You will understand when you get to Fenris Island.""Marissa obviously didn't want to give Xavier an accurate answer. Maybe the invisible things are the most beautiful.

Soon Xavier knew how difficult it was to be a priest. The boat on the lake took them to Fenris On the island, Senior Priest Cadson has been waiting impatiently,"Marissa, you are really too slow. Don't you know how many patients here need your care. Seeing how busy the other priests are, you are still taking your time collecting herbs until evening. Don't you know that every life is irreplaceable? You have to wait until all the patients are dead before you come back to work. Kadson's words were like a barrage of words that made Xavier breathless. Marissa seemed to have become accustomed to it and responded softly,"Yes, Lord Kadson, I will start working right away."""Wait, who is this?" Cadson then discovered Xavier who was following Marissa."He is a new trainee priest. I hope Mr. Cadson can give him some guidance."Marissa winked at Xavier with ill intentions and ran away."I'm just here.……""Stop talking nonsense. Thank you Archbishop Alonsus for sending me another assistant. Now is working time. Go to work quickly. Before Xavier could say anything, Senior Priest Cadson left with two large bags of herbs."Go put a linen bandage on the less injured patient," Cadson ordered before leaving."Oh, it seems I'm going to visit Fenris Island at work." Xavier shook his head helplessly.

Fenris Island is not a big place. There are many people coming and going outside the holy church, and there are all kinds of sick and injured patients, so much so that Xavier wonders if all the patients from Lordaeron have also come here. There are almost no healthy people here except for Those priests."Don't be in a daze. Don't you understand the importance of a priest? Time is life!" Xavier suddenly understood why Marissa said it was very difficult to become a priest. Before he could think about it, he The linen bandages were piled in his arms."Hurry up and work!""Oh, my God, are you going to hang the patient? That patient can no longer be treated with a bandage, and he can't use the Holy Light!""Your stupidity really makes me crazy. Yes, he injured his left foot. Why did you tie his right foot? Under Cudson’s tireless and endless nagging, Xavier almost collapsed. He suddenly had the idea of ​​giving up becoming a priest. But in the blink of an eye, he was buried in Cudson's endless nagging.

The night finally got late, all the patients fell asleep peacefully, and the senior priest Cudson finally ended his endless nagging. Xavier Fell on the bed, recalling that in the small bed at home, I could always sleep until the sun was shining, and then take care of Wuwei and Mary, and then imagine what new drinks I could make. Even fantasy has become a luxury here.. Too much fatigue made him fall asleep quickly. He dreamed that he and Marissa were running in a field full of flowers, and she personally brought a garland for him. Marissa also looked at Xavier lovingly and then , Wait, why is that that old face of Cardson with yellow teeth! Xavier tried his best to open his eyes, and Cardson was actually looking at him,"Slacker, it's already morning, get up and eat quickly, don't you I don’t know how many lives you can save by staying in bed!"Oh, my God, Cudson is such a devil!" Xavier muttered in a low voice and put on his clothes. The early morning outside the church was slightly twilight, and the sun that had just emerged seemed to be full of sleepiness. The reddish sunlight was not dazzling at all.

In this hellish place, breakfast time It seemed that everything had become a luxury, and the annoying roar sounded again,"New priest, go quickly and change the dressings for the patients." A pile of bottles and cans were shoved at Xavier without any distinction,"It's better to run away." Xavier was thinking about his escape plan. To be honest, he didn't expect that his visit to Fenris Island would end like this, but the good news that followed made him give up the idea immediately."By the way, Marissa. Go and change the patient's dressing with him. I don't want the patient to die at the hands of this clumsy priest."Kardson's decision was really wise. The flowers in Xavier's heart bloomed instantly. Stop looking like a nympho and get to work. Marissa was somewhat helpless. He originally wanted to trick Xavier into seeing him. This is such a lively meeting, it's a recipe for trouble.

"Go and put that bottle of bruise ointment on the patient over there,""Oh, it's a little bit below. Pour it directly on the wound. Do you want to hurt the patient to death?"Yes, he had this intention," the blind patient actually interrupted. Xavier rubbed the ointment vigorously, and the result was a scream, and our patient fainted from the pain. Not far away, there was another call, card. Dessen howled,"Marissa, why don't you think highly of him? Don't you want to be a real priest?""Oh, if the Holy Light comes again, I will definitely not let you go Xavier.""Marissa said bitterly."Give this medicine to the patient over there. If you dare to make any mistakes again, I won't let you eat!"Yes, Miss Pastor."""Oh my god, do you want to choke the patient to death? Do you think he is a horse?"I am just a groom. Of course I use the groom's method." Xavier defended. Marissa almost fainted from anger. She rushed up and grabbed the bag and shouted,"I'll do it myself. If this continues, I really won't be able to graduate." At this time, Cudson's shout came again,"Hurry up, there are a large number of injured patients coming to the hospital.""Marissa was completely speechless. Where did so many injuries come from? Is there a war nearby? Xavier didn't care about this. He was very happy if he could deal with Marissa. This may be an episode in the boring life. In the end Both of them were punished for not having lunch because they made too many mistakes. It felt really bad to be hungry, especially for a beautiful woman. Xavier suggested going out to catch fish secretly. Marissa initially disagreed, but Gululu couldn't help but Her stomach growled so much that she had already protested against him, but she finally obeyed and went to catch fish with Xavier. The water in Fenris Island was clear and the fish were surprisingly abundant. It was effortless even to catch the fish with hands. Within a moment, the alluring aroma of grilled fish spread. Xavier handed a grilled fish to Marisa and started chewing it himself.

"When did you become a trainee priest here?" , at first I thought that I could further receive the baptism of the Holy Light when I came to this holy land of priests. Unexpectedly, I ended up working as a handyman for that high-ranking priest in Cudson, asking me to do this and that all day long. I really don’t know where this place is. So many patients come. Marissa grumbled, taking small bites of the fish. Only then did he realize that Xavier was looking at him blankly again,"What are you looking at? Are you not hungry?""You are hungry, but there seems to be some noise." Xavier suddenly became alert. The air around him became thicker for some reason,"Why does it smell rancid?" Marissa also noticed something strange."There!" Xavier almost shouted as a poisonous spider crawled out of the water and was so close to Marissa.

When Marissa finally discovered the danger, the green and sticky venom had already sprayed out and rushed towards Marissa. Fortunately, Marissa immediately activated the priest's Holy Word Shield, and the gloomy green venom splashed on the grass, causing a stench."I'll take care of him. Xavier picked up a wooden stick and rushed over. The stick he swung hit the poisonous spider hard on the head. The blow was so perfect that Xavier couldn't help but chuckle, but he forgot his hand. There was only a piece of wood inside, and one mistake of failing to launch a fatal attack on the enemy was enough to be fatal. When the huge figure pushed Xavier to the ground, Xavier had only one thought in his mind, hoping that Alsace could open it for him. A memorial service was held to allow his own funeral to be honorable.

The darkness was coming towards him, and the scythe of death had begun to wave, but the darkness that filled his heart was suddenly lit up by a ray of light. The flame of the sacred fire burned through the play. The poisonous spider's body turned him into a guy lying there waiting to die. Xavier jumped up and gave the dying guy another two kicks,"Haha, it seems that I am still alive. The Great Holy Light must not be willing to let me leave. His embrace saved me from danger. Just as Xavier was secretly proud, a wooden stick hit him hard on the head,"Why did you hit me?" Marissa, who was holding a wooden stick, said angrily,"I saved your brother. If you think the Holy Light will really save you, then just go die and see if the Holy Light will save you." Xavier quickly apologized,"I was wrong. Of course I know it was you who saved me, Ms. Priest Apostle of the Holy Light.""Marissa pouted and said angrily,"Then you must have done it on purpose. I will punish you by doing all the work in the afternoon.""No way," Xavier raised his hands in surrender.

"Your work is done, no more work."The two of them turned back at the same time. High Priest Kadson was standing behind them with a smile. To be honest, this was the first time Xavier discovered that the holy light on Kadson was so dazzling. Then the surrounding scenery changed greatly. Reversal, all the patients disappeared, the cathedral turned into a dilapidated castle, all the priests gathered around, and the holy light shone brightly in the sky."Congratulations on passing the test, in this transformed church , your work is attentive enough, and you can save the lives of friends at critical moments. On behalf of the Holy Light, I grant you the title of priest."A ray of light shined on Marissa,"Is this all a test? Marissa almost didn't believe that everything in front of her was real. She actually became a priest."As for you, Xavier, I will recommend you to go to Archbishop Alonsus to complete the priest's training, as a reward for your fearlessness and bravery." Xavier was equally excited, and finally took the first step of priest training. I am one step closer to my dream.

Parting is bound to come. Marissa will start traveling across the country to become a powerful priest. Xavier will continue to return to his old life, and of course there will be a new mission to receive priest training. When the two parted, they agreed to meet again in Lordaeron during the Winter Veil Festival. Xavier felt a strange warmth while holding Marissa's hand. Maybe happiness was about to begin.
