Chapter 26: Teresa


Duke Eddie's ship?

Owen thought to himself, winter was still almost a month away.It stands to reason that the Templars should be coming to the aid of Frontier Town.Since it was Duke Eddie's ship, it was carrying a Templar advance team on board.After all, the city walls were breached last winter, and it was only natural that they would send a team to investigate the situation.Thinking of this, Owen put down his quill and got up from his chair."

Let's go, follow me to the docks to meet the distinguished guests."…… There is only one small pier in the south of Bianshu Town, and the trestle bridge that juts out into the Weishui River is only a few meters long.The pier has been in use for many years, and you can smell the smell of rotting wood, which seems to be mixed with a faint stench.Speaking of which, the usual way for people in Bianshu Town to dispose of feces and urine is to pour it directly into the Weishui River.With a few knights with him, Owen stood on the edge of the dock, waiting for the approaching ship.Hearing that the Templars might have arrived, Marpel was standing beside Owen with a happy mood at the moment, his eyes full of antiquity.Having grown up listening to Templar legends, she admired and admired the Templars as she witnessed their bravery against the undead.This is one of the reasons why Marpel chose to become a knight.The civilians nearby were also looking at him from a distance, they didn't know Duke Eddie's family crest, but even the lord himself came out to greet him, presumably a big guest.A large, majestic-looking ship slowly approached, and the flag bearing the coat of arms of Duke Eddie fluttered in the wind, and finally docked on the edge of the pier.The crew of the ship lowered a gangplank, and the first to step down from the ship was a priest girl with a staff in hand.Under the girl's priest's hat is long black hair like a waterfall, with a pair of transparent and bright light blue eyes, a delicate face, and white and tender skin that can be broken by blowing, and the close-fitting priest uniform does not hide her figure, but sets off her beautiful curves.Seeing Owen standing in front of her, she smiled with joy, and her eyes were curved into a beautiful crescent shape."

Teresa!"

Owen and Marpel were both pleasantly surprised.Teresa is not an aristocrat, she was an orphan adopted by a church in Frontier Town, and her acquaintance with Owen and Marpel began by accident.Everyone has a time when they are young and arrogant, and Owen is no exception.When he was seven years old, he learned the art of fireballs, and for a while he felt that he was invincible in the world.Hearing that there are many dangerous monsters in the depths of the Mystery Forest, Owen decides to defeat a few of them in order to prove his strength to his father.After telling his playmate Marpel about his plans, he quietly set off that day.Too late to inform Owen's father, Marpel grabbed his wooden sword and was forced to join the operation.On their way deep into the forest, the two meet Teresa, who is lost.She was picking fruit in a safe area on the outskirts of the forest with the church staff, only to get separated by accident.There was no way, Owen, who had a strong sense of justice, decided to bring Teresa back first, and the crusade against monsters could only be put aside.Coincidentally, when I wanted to crusade against monsters, I couldn't even see a shadow, and as soon as I gave up, I met immediately.A grumpy canine demon attacked the trio in the middle of the way, a medium-sized red-eyed dog that emits suspicious black smoke when it shakes its fur.Completely unaware that the magician is the type to hide behind the output, Owen holds a fireball in his right hand and confidently stands up, protecting Marpel and Teresa behind him.As you can imagine, Owen's right hand was scratched, Marpel's wooden sword was broken, and Teresa cowered in fear behind a tree.The saliva-laden canine leapt at Owen and bit him down on the throat.At the critical moment, Marpel grabbed a handful of powder from the bag on his waist and threw it into the air, only to see that the powder flashed a few yellow lights, and then burst out several lightning bolts to hit the dog demon.This is the effect of paralyzing powder.Taking advantage of the fact that the dog demon was paralyzed and couldn't move, the three of them hurriedly fled for their lives.After getting out of the crisis, as soon as Owen's nervousness eased, the sharp pain from the wound quickly rushed up, and even the man's tears flowed uncontrollably.Looking at the horrific wound on Owen's right hand, Marpel panicked.She can only wield a wooden sword, nothing else.That's when Teresa plucked up her courage and said, let her try.Clasped her hands together, she closed her eyes and prayed earnestly to the gods, then stretched out her hands and unleashed the magic of faith—healing.This was Teresa's first time using magic, and she was self-taught, only seeing a few times in the church where priests used healing spells on wounded people.The pain diminished dramatically, and Owen stopped crying.He looked at Teresa quietly, feeling the wound tickle and seem to be slowly healing.During the treatment, the anxious church staff found Owen and them.This is the experience of Teresa's first acquaintance with Owen and Marpel.Of course, after the three of them went back, they were scolded by their respective guardians.Back in reality, Teresa walked quickly up to Owen and saluted gracefully."

Long time no see, Lord Owen, and Lord Marpel.""

It's been a long time, Teresa."

Owen looked her dress up and down, "You've become an official priest, congratulations." ”Mapel also stepped forward, as concerned as a friend: "I only reacted when I saw you, it turns out that it has been three years, how are you doing in the days of studying in the Holy Sect of Caleb?"

”The three grew up almost together as children.After that experience in the forest, the three formed a strong friendship, and Owen and Marpel often went to church to hang out with Teresa.It's just that Owen, who was still in middle school at that time, approached Teresa with a purpose.After seeing Teresa's healing skills, he wanted to assemble a team of adventurers consisting of magicians, knights, and priests, and then go on adventures around the world.Later, Owen went to study at the magic academy in the Eastrise Fortress, and Marpel also went to the knight academy there to train, and Teresa was allowed to further study faith magic at the cathedral on the other side of the East.Because of her excellent qualifications, Teresa was recommended to study in the Holy Church of Caleb for three years.At that time, Owen failed to obtain the qualification to study at the Royal Capital Advanced Academy of Magic, and Marpel decisively gave up the qualification to study at the High Knight Academy and chose to return to Frontier Town with Owen.At that time, Teresa was also hesitant, and it was Owen who encouraged her to study there.Although Owen said that he couldn't move Marpel, it was quite easy to convince Teresa.Time flies, and three years have passed.Teresa refused to be retained by the higher-ups of the Holy Church of Caleb and resolutely chose to return to the border town."

I've had a good three years in the Holy Church of Caleb, and I'm coming back with the Templars."

Teresa replied, "I'm a little worried about you, I heard about what happened in Frontier from the Templars who returned last year. ”She looked at Owen guiltily and continued, "Lord Owen, your father is ......"

"Yes, my father died in the battle against the undead. ”Owen closed his eyes in pain."

Sorry......"

"You don't have to apologize."

Owen opened his eyes, and there was a sense of perseverance in his eyes, "My father died for the border town, and I will also carry on his legacy, and strive to develop and strengthen the border town, so that the people here can live and work in peace and contentment." ”Hearing this, Teresa smiled with satisfaction."

It seems that Lord Owen, you have completely come out of your grief, then I am relieved.""

Then again, Teresa."

Mapel interjected, "Since you came back with the Templars, why were you the only one who disembarked from the ship, the Templars?"
