MTL - Serious People, Who is Learning Magic at Marvel?-v3 Chapter 12 Goddess Meritelli (3/5)
In the afternoon, He Shenyan sat on a bench in a square and opened a book.
"...the belief in the goddess Meritelli is one of the oldest and one of the most widespread at the time, with its origins dating back to ancient times before human civilization. Almost every pre-human Races, as well as the nomadic primitive human race, worship such a goddess. This is derived from the primitive human belief in fertility, love, farming, the stove in the home and pregnant women, which has been transformed into various female images. They ruled fertility and reproduction, cared for farmers and gardeners, blessed lovers and couples. Slowly these different beliefs came together, merged, and finally these gods became one and became the mother of all: Meritelli.”
"...caring like a mother, people worship Meritelli to protect their children. Her pastors preach love and peace to the world, they have many hospitals, shelters, orphanages all over the world, In this way, you can achieve your goals. The most important center of Meritelli's faith is undoubtedly Elland, where there is a world-famous Temple of Meritelli..."
"...Meritaly's maids, who usually enter the temple at the age of fourteen to study arithmetic, history, herbal medicine, medicine, and biology, and then choose whether to become a priest of the temple. Not all priestesses will Staying in the temple, there are also many young maids who choose to help women and children in various villages in a wandering way..."
"...The Temple of Meritelli is a sanctuary for all the suffering people. In this place, even if you have no money, you can enjoy the peace of the world. The herbs of the priestess will not only heal your body , their rescue can also calm your inner suffering and mend your spiritual wounds.”
He Shenyan can see that the author of this book has tried very hard to describe the teaching of Meritelli in an objective tone, but he is still unavoidable to be influenced. In the last paragraph of the book, he makes such an attributive statement, which undoubtedly characterizes Meritelli as the protector of poor people and women.
He also saw a very interesting description that any local lord would not conflict with Meritelli's followers unless he wanted to fight against all the local women - even his own wife. Because any woman would worship Meritelli.
Close the book and put it aside. He started to think about what he was going to do next. The day he said he was going to 'research' Geralt was just trying to make a little joke, but he couldn't get the hang of it, so it made the witcher angry for a while. Fortunately, the power of money is indeed great. He just wanted to see how much stronger the witchers were compared to ordinary humans.
As for the silver-haired elf girl, he didn't care about her at all. Just throw her in his magic backpack and feed her magic power at regular and fixed points. At her growth rate, it may take hundreds of years to fully wake up. Before that, He Shenyan only needed to treat her as a large figure.
Of course, it's the kind that can't be touched.
In all fairness, traveling around the world is not what he wants, who doesn't want to go home directly? But the more he knows about the world travel, the more he can understand the difficulty of doing this. Before that, it seemed that he could only drift like this little by little.
To be a stranger forever?
The black-robed mage squinted at the fountain in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.
On the other hand, Geralt was dying happily.
After he and He Shenyan agreed on a time to break up, he immediately ran to the bank to exchange money, holding a large bag of money, and first ran to the blacksmith shop to let the boss repair all the swords for himself - "Give me the best materials." - He sounded like he had five million crowns in his pocket. Then, instead of choosing a street vendor to cut his hair as before, he went to a high-end barber shop in the upper city and enjoyed a haircut, shaving, and face wash.
The barber's skills were really good. He touched his clean face and felt rich for the first time.
After that, it's the main event.
If you have been to Novigrad's "Love and Flowers" at noon that day, you can see a witcher sitting in the hall revelling, with three different beauties in one arm, and he is wild.
-------------------------------------
Six o'clock that night. The reluctant witcher struggled to pull himself out of the tender land of 'love and flowers'. He bid farewell to the beauties who blew kisses at him, and went out with a rare undisguised smile, several lip prints on his neck and face. He even changed his clothes, in which he not only did a full bath and massage, but also changed into new clothes. Although Geralt was not used to wearing tights, the loose and comfortable robe on his body was really good.
"It's a pity that I can't wear it when I take a commission." He thought.
"Unless I want to be pierced by a water ghost." Thinking of that scene, Geralt actually felt a burst of laughter~www.novelbuddy.com~ You look very happy. He Shenyan's voice suddenly sounded behind him, and the witcher's back straightened immediately. He turned around in surprise: "Why are you here?" "
The black-robed mage calmly pointed to the right side of his face: "You better pay attention to your image, my friend."
"Uh..." The witcher tried to restore his grim image, he said, "I don't usually do this."
"Of course, you usually don't have any money."
"Do you usually chat with people like this?"
"I don't usually do this."
"Yeah yeah..."
Geralt said perfunctorily, he spread his hands and asked, "So, how did you find this place?"
He Shenyan passed him, motioned him to follow him, and said casually, "I think it's better for us not to pay attention to these details. Where are you going to live tonight?"
Geralt glanced back at the beautifully carved oak door of Love and Flowers, and if he could, he really wanted to live there.
But what he said out of his mouth was: "Just find a decent hotel for one night."
While walking in the night of Novigrad, they talked about tomorrow. Geralt said, "I will go for a walk at noon tomorrow to see if there are any fresh monsters in the sewers of this free city."
"Are you going to take the reward first, or do you kill first and then take the reward?"
"After going through the Blavican incident, I think I'd better take the bounty first."
"I think so too."
The two chatted and came outside a hotel. This hotel is located on the quiet Fameero Avenue, a total of three floors. The brown exterior looks unremarkable, with a warm orange glow shining through the windows. They pushed open the door.
