After carefully asking about the recent situation in the territory, Christine and her uncle Liam went to the temple in Dragon Claw Town.

The descendants of Dragon Vein Warlocks have always been known to be rare. At most, there are only three brothers and sisters in one generation. Christine's grandfather gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Alexander and the second son Liam. Among them, only Christine's father Alexander awakened the bloodline of the Dragon Vein Warlock.

However, although Liam has not awakened, he still has dragon veins, so he can easily understand the fighting spirit and become a knight.

In this world where family interests are at the core, inheritance by the eldest child is an unshakable iron law. The second son and second daughter can only receive a fixed annuity every year. Once the parents die, the annuity will be cut off.

After all, the heirs of the family still have their own children. If they just split the money, wouldn't it dilute the family assets. You can hire them to do something if you are thinking about old friendships. Otherwise, it is common to treat them as passers-by.

Because Liam became a knight, he was granted a fiefdom in a village, and all knights who were granted the title naturally had to serve the lord.

As for Christine, who has only one heir, assassinating her and inheriting the family business, not to mention that thousands of years of education have prevented Liam from having such an idea, it is really done in this country with magical powers and The world of magic cannot be kept secret. The whole family will be burned to death by the Church of the God of Order, and then the Borderlands will be taken advantage of by the king.

There are no such madmen in history, but they all died badly and implicated their families. Their souls will still be punished after death.

Since the lord is a Dragon Vein Warlock, he naturally has to believe in the Dragon God. Because Stuart has money, the temple is built with a high-end atmosphere.

There are many gods in this world. According to the classification of priests, they include the God of Light, the God of Order, the Goddess of Agriculture, the God of War, the God of the Sea, etc. There are also the Elf Goddess believed by elves, the Dwarf God believed by dwarves, etc.

In short, everyone must have faith. Those without faith will be tortured for hundreds of years on the wall of the unbelievers before their souls can dissipate.

Originally, the Dragon God only needed dragon faith, and at most some half-dragons or something. You must occupy the position of faith if you don't occupy other gods. If this god has more believers, that god will have one less believer. That's why there are Dragon God Church and Dragon Vein Warlock. After all, dragons are equivalent to nuclear weapons, but small problems are not always big. As for amplifying moves, it will be much more convenient to travel around the human world with the Dragon God Church.

According to the "Covenant of Gods", everyone has the right to believe in any true god, and also has the right to freely convert, and belief cannot be forced.

Although faith cannot be forced, faith can guide. Generally, whichever true god a lord believes in, his subjects will also believe in that true god. After all, you are living under someone else's management. Unless they are professionals who serve the lord, such as scholars who believe in the God of Knowledge, mage advisors who believe in the Goddess of Magic, advisors who believe in the Goddess of Agriculture, etc.

Of course, not all mages must believe in the goddess of magic, and all warriors must believe in the god of war. They can also believe in the god of light or the god of order, just like not all actors have a professional background.

Clement is a fifth-level priest who not only presides over the Temple of Dragon Claw Town but is also responsible for the academic affairs of the entire barony. Hearing that Christine was visiting, he immediately led people to greet her.

Although he is a true priest, he doesn't dare to show off in front of the other party. After all, strictly speaking, he is just a servant of the Dragon God, while Christine is a Dragon Vein. Who knows if the ancestor is a descendant of the Dragon God. .

"Good day, Pastor Clément." Christine greeted him first.

"Good afternoon, Miss Christine." Pastor Clément returned the greeting politely.

"Pastor Clement, I would like to pray for my parents."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

If it was a normal death, a funeral would naturally be held, but now that Baron Stewart and his wife encountered an accident at sea, they could only hold a prayer ceremony for them.

This world is full of all kinds of surprises. Apart from cities, towns, villages, farmland, pastures and roads, the remaining places are either forests or primitive landforms such as grasslands, deserted beaches, swamps, rivers and lakes. In addition to the existence of magical beasts and wild beasts, they must travel together when traveling far away. Every year, people disappear without seeing their bodies, so each church naturally has related prayer rituals.

The ceremony held for the local lord must be of the highest standard, and the priests and servants soon arranged it. The floor was covered with carpets, the candles on the candlesticks were lit, and several priest apprentices took on the work of the choir, singing psalms to pray to God.

Under the guidance of Pastor Clement, Christine knelt down in front of the statue and prayed quietly. Because of the existence of the true God, the souls of believers after death will be reborn in the Kingdom of God and enjoy blessings, not to mention being dragon blood descendants. This is why everyone does not seem too sad.

After the ceremony, Liam also knelt in front of the statue and prayed for Baron Stewart and his wife. As dragon blood brothers, the relationship between brothers was much better than that of ordinary nobles.

Christine took a money bag from the maid Elena and handed it to Pastor Clement: "Pastor, these fifty gold coins are a dedication to God."

Liam also handed over a money bag containing ten gold coins, and Pastor Clement happily collected it.

People in this world do not shy away from discussing money in person. Priests have to agree on the price in advance when they use magic to treat the wounded. The lower-ranking person is even more proud to receive the reward from the higher-ranking person in person.

As for the pastor's corruption, there is no need to worry at all. As long as you become a priest, your living standard will be much better than that of ordinary people according to church standards. A fifth-level priest is almost as good as a knight and there is no need for corruption. Besides, this is a world where true gods exist. Corruption and dedication to gods will inevitably shake your faith. At worst, your level will stagnate, or at worst, your level will drop. In severe cases, you may even die from the backlash of divine power.

It was already evening when we returned to the castle. The dinner party had been prepared in the kitchen according to Christine's instructions. All the vassals, officials, and knights had not left. It was necessary to hold a banquet to enhance the relationship between them.

The main dishes at the banquet included roasted stag meat, braised beef ribs, rabbit meat braised in wine, fresh salmon and sea bass, roast chicken, ham, vegetable soup. The main dishes were pork pie and white bread, and the drinks were wine and mead. , as well as apple pie, strawberry pudding and other desserts.

The sumptuousness was comparable to the count's formal banquet, not to mention the use of expensive spices, and everyone was very satisfied.

After the banquet, Christine wrote a letter and asked Lord Pierre Legrand to take it to the capital of France, and use the communication circle of the Masters Guild of France to send it to the Elf Kingdom.

My mother is from the Elf clan, so she must inform her of such a big event. Although cross-border communication from the Kingdom of France to the Kingdom of Elf requires one hundred gold coins at a time, it is necessary.
