Crowned King

Chapter 5 Perception

"Nesser! Are you going to abandon God's favor?"

The sun shone through the window to the bedside, and Adam woke up from his sleep a little later than usual.

He was still a little scared by what happened last night, but fortunately it was a blessing in disguise.

Adam looked at everything around him, and suddenly the sound, smell, and light seemed to explode. Everything around him was reflected in his mind, as if breaking a certain boundary. He became extremely familiar with everything around him, and had a feeling of being in control.

"Perception?" Adam's state of perceiving everything did not last long, and soon faded.

Before last night, he smelled the smell and saw the picture, but now during that period of time, all perceptions were integrated together, and could even collide with other people's perceptions.

If he had not been able to exit the perception state in time last night and had fought hard, he would have been completely covered by the perception of the black smoke werewolf, and then he would have been hit by various perceptions, and his eyes would have turned black and he would have fainted.

Exhaling, Adam tidied up the attic, listened to the noise downstairs, took the book "God's Word" in his hand and walked downstairs.

Brother Fra was talking to Maggie downstairs, and seemed to ask about the tuition.

In the Sky City behind Roya, there is the Holy Huixuan Seminary. Almost all the monks and nobles nearby graduated from this seminary, but the tuition is too high for ordinary civilians.

Although Brother Fra is optimistic about Adam, it is impossible for him to pay this money for Adam, after all, he is not rich.

What's more, Adam is unwilling to go to that seminary. Why go there? To die?

Looking at Adam holding the "God's Word" down, Fra's eyes are full of regret. It's a pity that Adam was born in the wrong era. In the early years when the seminary was not reformed, civilians could enter the school as long as they passed the test and bought a copy of "God's Word".

However, with the strengthening of the power of the nobles, most seminaries have been reformed, and the threshold for entry has become higher. It has become extremely difficult for ordinary civilians to enter.

Although the monks of the seminary have obtained better resources and their status has become more noble, even Brother Fra is also a beneficiary, but he still sighs.

"Brother Fra! You haven't come for several days." Adam ran over with surprise, and then his face became reluctant, but he still handed out "God's Word" and placed it in front of Fra: "Give it back to you."

"There are a lot of things recently." Looking at Adam's performance, the young monk became more and more regretful, but he also took the "God's Word". Although he has good skills, he is still not rich in essence, although there is a reason why he rejected some inappropriate "gifts" from the nobles in the city.

Just after taking over "God's Word", Fra's expression moved and opened the book. In between, there was a small piece of thin wood, and on the wood there was a picture drawn with charcoal, imitating the illustration next to it.

Uncle Alis can do some carpentry, and this wood chip and charcoal were found in his small carpentry workshop. Adam has been preparing to become a painter these days. "Did you draw this?" Brother Fra was very surprised. The charcoal was too rough, and the painting was done on the wood chip. The whole picture seemed too simple, but it was not difficult to see the similarity between this picture and the illustrations in the scriptures. "Hmm!" Adam seemed very embarrassed. He hummed and lowered his head and stopped talking. "It seems to be successful!" Adam knew the bargaining routine very well. What should you do when you want to make a request and are afraid that others will not agree? First make a more excessive request, and then wait for the other party to refuse, and then make the original request. At this time, the chance of the other party agreeing will be greatly increased. Although the situations of Adam and Fra are somewhat different now, the principle is the same. Let Fra be optimistic about his talent in theology first, but Fra does not have the ability to support Adam. Therefore, when a slightly inferior alternative option appears, Fla will choose to compensate under the guilt, even if this option will make him slightly violate his principles.

To some extent, Adam is taking advantage of Fla's kindness.

"You also have a good talent in this painting." Fla did not hesitate to praise him, pinched the "Word of God" in his hand, and said with some joy.

After hesitating for a while, Fla said: "I know a few painters, I will go and discuss with them later, maybe Adam can learn something from them."

"Why don't you thank Brother Fla!" Maggie pushed her nephew, and wanted to give Fla with joy, but Fla refused.

"If it works, I'll come and take you there tomorrow morning." After saying that, Fla left the Boku family and whispered, "God will favor believers."

Looking at Fla's departing back, Adam grinned and said to himself in his heart, "God will not favor anyone, only I will favor myself!"

"Adam?" Maggie's voice made Adam turn his head and smile shyly.

"That's great. Adam has the talent for painting and can get the help of Brother Fla." Maggie was very happy. After her nephew came, there was one more mouth to feed in the family.

Although Adam is very capable of working, it does not mean that the more people work, the more income will be. There is a limit to the income of a family.

Adam smiled, walked into the kitchen, picked up the basket of pickled vegetable cakes and walked out.

Except for the encounter with a powerful fellow last night, everything is still under his control.

He collected a lot of information. In addition to the information of various nearby residents, the most important one is naturally the information of the South District Church.

Through the purchase of materials by the purchasing staff of various materials in the South District Church, as well as the arrangements for the baptism and worship of believers, Adam analyzed a piece of information, that is, the South District Church may need to be repaired, and the focus should be on murals.

He chose to become a painter at that time, with this consideration.

Adam had a deep analysis of Fla, who was born in aristocracy, but because he was not the eldest son, he was sent out of the house with a sum of money after he became an adult.

With that sum of money, Fla entered the seminary, and most of the nobles' bastards would choose this way out.

Perhaps in the seminary, influenced by some ascetics, Fla had a strong sense of justice. He was very unhappy about the nobles raising the threshold of the seminary. After graduation, he did not even return to the family territory, but came to Roya.

In Roya, he also refused the nobles' solicitation and did not have any connections here.

Adam admired people like Fla very much, but this did not prevent Adam from using this naive monk.

This naive young monk with no connections, when he was unable to support Adam to go to the seminary, discovered that Adam had a talent for painting, and he thought of repairing the murals in the church.

Adam remembered the grace of Fla's sword on the night of the burning. With his clone and ability, he could actually gain a lot of benefits as long as he was willing to ask.

According to Adam's judgment, letting Adam join the mural repair as an apprentice and help the painter should be just within Fla's psychological bottom line.

Being able to enter the church and stay there from morning to night, there is really too much intelligence information that can be collected during this period.

At that time, whether it is to use the church to clamp down on Baron Mansla's opportunity to cross the wall, or to explore the church's defensive layout for the Roya side wall, he can take more initiative.

Most importantly, as a local church, the news must be the most informed, and he should be able to get some personnel transfer information of the church in advance from here.

"Although I have done a lot of cover-ups, that person will find Roya one day!" Adam thought. After selling a piece of pickled vegetable cake, he put down the cloth, raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his face with the back of his hand, and gently rubbed the scar on his face.

Of course, even if he failed, Adam would not lose anything. Everything was just Fra's spontaneous behavior and had nothing to do with him, Adam. The only thing he was afraid of was that Fra's bottom line fell too fast and he would use his connections to send him to the seminary.

Lowering the bottom line of a good person is as disgusting as pouring a dung bucket from the second floor. Adam knew this very well, but he did not regret it.

No matter what his ideals, hobbies, and great beliefs are, the premise is to survive.

Fra walked into the church from the side door, nodded to other monks, and became a little hesitant.

He had never done such a thing of using his connections to seek benefits for others.

But in the end, Fra still came to the painter.
