Damn it, it's only been a few days, and Holliard has become a true high-level pharmacist under Master Felic's guidance. I might be able to take this opportunity to become a pharmaceutics Master. Leaving Siddarth, who was already dumbfounded, Fergor carefully adjusted his expression, and walked towards the herb plantation at the back of the mountain with a stiff smile on his face.
Siddarth stood in front of the court in a daze, and only snapped back to his senses after a long time. However, he still couldn't help but shiver at the thought of what Chief Judge Fergor said before he left. At the same time, he couldn't figure it out. I'm not framing him, and what I said is the truth. Isn't it the duty of the court to purify the heretics!?
With a head full of questions and fear, Siddarth returned to his teacher, Archbishop Domingo. What he said to Rina previously was true, and that was that Archbishop Domingo had indeed been immersed in pharmaceutics research for the past few days.
"Siddarth, where have you been? I've been calling you for a long time, but you're nowhere to be seen. Come and take a look at the potion I've just concocted. This is a real Master-level potion!" Archbishop Domingo was fiddling with the potion at the operating table, and didn't notice Siddarth's expression at all.
"Oh, yes, Teacher, I went out for a while." Siddarth was full of worries, and was hesitating about whether he should ask his teacher about it. After all, what happened today was too strange.
Siddarth's listless answer still caught Archbishop Domingo's attention. Usually, his disciple would be even more excited than he was when he concocted a potion. Yet, why wasn't his disciple excited at all when he had concocted a real Master-level potion?
"Siddarth, what happened? Why do you look so sullen?" Domingo asked his disciple Siddarth in bewilderment as he put down the potion in his hand. This was the Holy Mountain of the Brilliance Shrine. What could have happened to make Siddarth look like that?
After all, he was his teacher! Seeing Domingo's concerned gaze, Siddarth felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and decided to ask his teacher for advice. Perhaps it was a conspiracy that involved the higher-ups of the Brilliance Shrine. At the thought of this, he forced himself to perk up, and with an aggrieved expression, he said to his teacher, "Teacher, I suspect that there's a huge conspiracy brewing on this Holy Mountain, and it even involves some of the higher-ups of the Brilliance Shrine."
"Uh …" Domingo froze for a moment, and then said in a dumbfounded manner, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Siddarth, I've told you many times, don't always read those fabricated myths and legends. If you have the time, you should learn more about pharmaceutics from me."
"Siddarth, I'm not. Seeing that his teacher didn't believe him, Siddarth got a little anxious, but he still remembered to turn around to look outside the door. Seeing that no one was eavesdropping, he closed the door and returned. He then lowered his voice, and said, "Teacher, I discovered a heretic who snuck into the Holy Mountain today. The strange thing is that when I went to report to the Tribunal, Chief Judge Fergor ignored the facts and insisted that the other party was not a heretic."
"Since when did you pick up the Inquisition's tricks? You're always talking about heresy," Domingo said unhappily. Although the Judge of Heresy had helped the Brilliance Shrine get rid of countless enemies, they had a terrible reputation within the Brilliance Shrine. Hence, when he heard his disciple say that he was a heretic and wanted to report to the Judge of Heresy, Domingo's joy of concocting a Master-level potion immediately vanished.
Seeing that his teacher was a little angry, Siddarth hurriedly said, "Teacher, it's true. You should have heard of that mage named Felic. It's no secret in the Breezy Plains that he uses Undead creatures as servants. I saw him and Rina …"
Before Siddarth could finish speaking, he saw a foreign object flying towards him. He couldn't dodge it at all, and was smashed on his forehead. With a loud crack, the foreign object shattered, and a warm liquid that emitted an alluring medicinal fragrance flowed out slowly.
Archbishop Domingo's face had become extremely sullen, and he was pointing at Siddarth with a trembling finger, seemingly too infuriated to speak. The Master-level potion that Domingo had just concocted was nowhere to be seen.
"Y-You actually said that Master Felic is a heretic! Y-You actually went to report to the Judge of Heresy! Do you still respect me as your teacher!? Why didn't Fergor lock you up in the Judge of Heresy!? " Domingo cursed angrily while grabbing the things beside him, be it a potion bottle or some other utensils, and smashed them hard at Siddarth.
Faced with his furious teacher, Siddarth dared not dodge at all, and had no choice but to stand there while feeling extremely horrified and infuriated. It was the second time he had heard someone call that damned heretic a master today. One was the Chief Judge, and the other was his teacher. Where did that guy named Felic come from? Isn't he just the President of a small Guild of Magic!?
"Teacher, what did I do wrong …" Although Siddarth did not suffer any injuries after being smashed by Lin Li with all sorts of things, his robe had already been stained with various potions, and he looked extremely disheveled.
"Ah." Domingo's anger gradually subsided at this moment, and he sighed before saying, "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You know that he has an Undead servant, and you know what he did in the Breezy Plains. Can't you see why the Tower of Dusk has developed so quickly in such a short period of time? Master Felic is a true pharmaceutics Guru. A Guru, do you know what a Guru is!? He came to the Brilliance Shrine this time to talk about our cooperation in pharmaceutics. Do you know how important that is to the Brilliance Shrine? "
How could Siddarth's thoughts be hidden from Domingo? After all, he had also been around that age. However, the matter of detoxifying the poison for Pope Felic was confidential, and Domingo could not reveal it. Hence, he could only mention the cooperation between the two parties in the pharmaceutical business, which would also be of great benefit to the Brilliance Shrine. Besides, it would not be considered a secret after the cooperation began.
"A … Guru? He's a pharmaceutics Guru! How is that possible? How old is he!? " Siddarth could not believe his ears at all, and that also made him understand why the senior executives of the Brilliance Shrine ignored the fact that Lin Li was a heretic.
"You've been by my side for too long, and you've been staying on this Holy Mountain all this time. Your vision has become too narrow. Some time ago, we negotiated with the Felan Kingdom, and we've already built another church. Go back and make some preparations. I'll arrange for you to take up a post there. " Without saying anything more, Domingo waved his hand at Siddarth, rubbed his forehead, and turned around to fiddle with the potions again.
However, Siddarth had just recovered from the shock, and was a little dumbfounded when he heard his teacher's arrangements. As a bishop, it was actually a rather good thing to be assigned to a church. However, it depended on where it was. If it was within the sphere of influence of the Brilliance Shrine, a bishop would have a higher status than the local castellan. However, what kind of place was the Felan Kingdom? It was a kingdom of magic, and the clergymen of the Brilliance Shrine were nothing there.
Siddarth thought of something. It was said that there was a bishop named Rene who had been sent to Alanna, the capital of the Felan Kingdom. The unlucky Bishop Rene had been preaching his teachings in Alanna for more than 20 years, but the total number of his believers did not seem to exceed two digits. His days there were probably worse than death. Although the Felan Kingdom was also very prosperous, to the people of the Brilliance Shrine, taking up a post in the desert of faith was no different from being exiled.
"Teacher, I don't want to leave you!" At the thought of the miserable days after going to the Felan Kingdom, Siddarth burst into tears, and pounced towards Domingo, hugging his teacher's leg, and bawling his eyes out.
Of course, a disciple was not a son, after all. Archbishop Domingo would not change his decision just because of a few tears from Siddarth. On the same day, he found the person in charge and informed him of the matter. The next day, he told Siddarth to pack his things and take up his post in the Felan Kingdom. At the same time, this matter also gave the senior executives a wake-up call, and they immediately released the news that they were going to cooperate with the Tower of Dusk in the pharmaceutical business. Finally, there was an acceptable explanation for Lin Li's arrival and the reason why he was valued by the senior executives.
In fact, Lin Li did not take Siddarth's matter to heart at all, and he had already forgotten the name of the person who called him a heretic the next day. He didn't even know that the young and promising bishop had been exiled to the Felan Kingdom because of this matter. Apart from giving pointers to a few pharmaceutics enthusiasts, Lin Li's main focus was on the Light Bible of the Brilliance Shrine. As for the cooperation, it was just an intention, and the specific matters would naturally be handled by specific people.
The Light Bible was the foundation of the Brilliance Shrine, and was an important book that explained the power of Holy Light. Even the most talented believers of Holy Light might not be able to make any progress in a few days of reading. However, Lin Li was different. He had obtained the debris of the stars, Holy Light, a long time ago, and had never stopped studying it. Hence, to him, reading the Light Bible was mainly to fill in the gaps, and at the same time, gain more inspiration in comprehending the Laws of Holy Light.
However, what Lin Li didn't know was that every time he was reading the Light Bible, there would always be a few pairs of eyes staring at him secretly. However, as time passed, the bewilderment in their eyes did not subside, and instead became more and more disappointed. When Lin Li was reading the Light Bible, he did not reveal any aura of the power of Holy Light at all.
After a few more days, Lin Li knew that he couldn't delay any longer. Although the priest of the Darkness Priest Jyker didn't say what it was exactly, it had to be something significant since Sendros called it a major matter.
