Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

So Christine's daily life became regular. She went to the Mages Guild to study in the morning, and returned to the manor at about four o'clock in the afternoon. During this period, she took time to pray at the Dragon God Temple in Rennes City.

Although Rennes City is the capital of Brittany County, there are not many believers in the Dragon God here, so there is only one town-level temple. This is for the dignity of the church, otherwise a village-level temple would be enough. The highest level of a priest is only level four.

So they were very enthusiastic every time Christine went there, firstly because of her identity as a dragon blood descendant, and secondly, they donated gold coins every time, although there were only ten coins, which was too much compared to ordinary believers.

The church in this world is not like the Blue Star Middle Ages where it can own large tracts of land. According to the "Covenant of the Gods", except for the seat of the Holy See, which is the size of a barony, the land size of other cities, towns, villages and temples is regulated.

In other words, the church’s fixed sources of funds are gone except for tithes, donations from believers, and business from its affiliated chambers of commerce. Of course, this tithe must be paid by everyone, including farmers, craftsmen, merchants, and nobles, except the royal family.

Believers of the Dragon God in Rennes City naturally pay less tithes, and their expenses basically rely on church funding. However, funding can only guarantee the basic operation of the temple, but it will cost money to hold some large-scale prayer activities.

The reason for this stipulation is that if the church owns land, it is exclusive. For example, can the Church of the God of Order allow people on the land it owns to believe in other true gods? impossible.

Therefore, once the church of a powerful god is allowed to annex the land, wouldn't those medium, weak, and weak true gods become weaker and weaker without their believers, and may even perish? So they united to demand that this article be added to the "Covenant of Gods" .

As for secular kingdoms and principalities, it doesn’t matter. Although the royal family of the Kingdom of France is the sacred bloodline of the God of Order, the court mages believe in the Goddess of Magic, many generals believe in the God of War, and many scholars believe in the God of Knowledge. As for the beliefs of those nobles who serve It’s even more varied.

What's more important is that there are a large number of local nobles in various kingdoms and principalities who believe in other gods, such as Baron Stewart who believes in the dragon god, Baron Campel who believes in the goddess of agriculture, etc.

And even in the territories of these on-the-ground nobles, there are still many people who do not believe in the same true god as the lords. For example, the merchants in the territory believe in the goddess of wealth, and the judges believe in the god of order.

Regardless of whether the believers of medium, weak and weak true gods cannot compare to those powerful gods individually, the total number of believers of these true gods combined is far stronger than any powerful god.

A bit off topic.

Mages Guild, spell testing room.

Master Dubois came over after hearing the news and asked happily: "Christine, have you applied to be promoted to a second-level mage?"

"Master Du Bois, this is just a promotion test, there is no need to alarm you."

Under normal circumstances, all it takes is a mage two levels higher than the person applying for the assessment to give the certification. In other words, when Christine applies for promotion to the second level, a level 3 mage will be responsible for it.

"It doesn't matter, I just have nothing to do. Come on, show me."

"Ok."

Christine immediately chanted the spell to communicate with the magic network, first blessed herself with a "Mage Armor" protective spell, and then fired a "magic missile" at the pedestrian target next to her.

"Yes, Christine, congratulations on becoming a second-level mage."

A second-level mage has two first-level spell slots, which means he can use first-level spells twice a day. Now that Christine has used these two spells, she is naturally qualified for promotion.

Master Dubois immediately asked his apprentice to change her mage emblem to a second-level one, which is two bars, while a fifth-level mage's emblem is a five-pointed star.

"Very good, Christine, we all see your diligence and hard work." Master Du Bois said.

"Thank you Master Dubois."

Everyone thought it was natural for Christine to be promoted to a second-level mage at her age. She had been taught by her mother, a seventh-level mage, since she was a child that it would be inappropriate if her promotion was delayed.

Moreover, Kristen has been studying in the Mage Tower Library for at least five hours almost every day for the past half month. There is no more diligent mage than her.

In fact, other mages would also like to live in the library or laboratory every day, but most of them do not have the financial resources and have to do tasks to earn money and points.

Christine's promotion did not cause much disturbance, and everyone took it for granted. But in fact, she was really promoted, just to a fifth-level mage, but she had to hide it.

There is no such thing as pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger for professionals in this continent, because they are treated according to their rank. Even for mercenaries, the commissions of third-level warriors and fourth-level warriors are different. Who would do anything stupid to hide their rank? What's going on.

But Kristen can't do it. She is a time traveler and has many secrets. It's better not to attract attention until she has a certain level of strength.

Mages Guild, spell testing room.

A middle-aged mage with a third-level badge came in and asked: "Mr. Ibel, you want to take the assessment for a first-level mage to advance to the second level, right?"

"Yes."

"Then let's get started."

"Ok."

Ibel chanted a spell to communicate with the magic network and cast two "magic missiles" in a row.

"Very good, Master Ibel, you passed the examination and are now a second-level mage."

"Thank you."

The apprentice in charge of managing the spell testing room came up and replaced the second-level badge for Ibel, and the middle-aged mage signed the document for confirmation.

Soon the news spread that Ibel was promoted to a second-level mage. Although she was two years older than Kristen, she was considered quite outstanding for achieving such an achievement at this age.

Earl Renn and Ibel's father, Akati Renn, were very happy to hear the news, and Earl Renn even wanted to hold a small celebration banquet for her.

However, when Ibel tactfully raised the issue of his marriage, he was rejected. This cannot be changed. His nominal fiancé also attended the banquet. He is a very ordinary-looking man. Because his grandfather is a mage, he is very capable in writing and calculation. He currently serves as a steward in the Chamber of Commerce of Count Rennes.

Ibel forced a smile during the banquet, but cried again after returning to the villa. During this period of time, she was studying hard in order to be promoted. She thought that after becoming a second-level mage, her family would be able to dissolve her marriage, but unfortunately it still didn't work.

Crying can't solve any problem. After recovering, Ibel took out a book from the locked box, opened it, looked at one of the pages and said in a cold tone: "You all treat me like this, then you all Don't blame me."
