Mage Legend-Chapter 331: Episode 21 Priest

Three days had passed since crossing the border of the Elf Kingdom, and Kuboert, the Priest of Pate, still couldn’t find the correct direction to proceed. The dense forests and complex network of waterways here left him dizzy. If not for the sun’s steadfast eastward rise and westward setting, this Priest might have just spun in circles on the spot.

In the past few days, he always felt like he was being tracked. More precisely, it seemed like there were several Elf Clan warriors constantly lingering around him. Kuboert had already been mentally prepared for such a situation. The only thing that displeased him was that he never received any help from the elves.

"Hey! I am Kuboert, the Main Priest from the Holy Pate, can any friend from the Elf Clan point me in the right direction?"

Such calls had not ceased since entering Salantir.

All around, there was only the sound of birds chirping, with no response from the elves.

Kuboert shook his head. The Holy Pate Empire, established long in the north, had a mighty Priest System and a loyal following of Paladins, its overall strength was second to none across the Anriel Continent. Although everyone followed the teachings of the Light God, never waging war against the outside world, instead enjoying a peaceful life, it inevitably led to some arrogance and a cool demeanor towards other nations. Except for neighboring Haisas and the Dwarf Country Gunn, known for making exquisite armor, the Holy Pate generally has no dealings with other kingdoms. Especially with the Elf Kingdom located at a corner of the continent, there was even less interaction.

The citizens of Holy Pate always felt proud of guarding the northern border and defending against the Beastmen’s invasions, believing this achievement was enough for other countries to be grateful and respect its contribution. But in fact, every race has its own values. Without communication, it is tough to form understanding and consensus. This time, Kuboert, venturing outside Holy Pate and interacting with many rulers originally thought to offer unconditional help, felt this even more deeply.

"When we sing the glory of the Light God, we are also blinded by the dazzling light, unable to see the world around us." Kuboert had thought this more than once in his heart. Because of this, he increasingly understood the significance of his mission this time. He bore the burden caused by Holy Pate’s long-standing negligence, striving to bridge the gap among various countries.

And this mission became more and more like a test of will.

The Priests of Holy Pate all undergo tests of faith at specific times. The temple uses some challenging missions to train those promising Priests. Generally speaking, fighting evil and rescuing impoverished people are the focuses of such missions, but the mission Kuboert received was extremely rare.

Since meeting that magical Mage Lynch, Kuboert’s journey had been filled with hardships. First, on the Fengduo River, he struggled to find a small boat to track the Mage’s path forward, but a sudden giant dragon just happened to capsized his boat. Fortunately, the yellow dragon did not attack the fallen Priest, leaving only a "sorry" before flying into the sky. freewebnøvel_com

Clinging to a wooden plank, Kuboert continued downstream, entering Erutalon. The forest there was so densely arranged that it was hard to find gaps to traverse. Having entered the territory of the Elf Kingdom, Kuboert did not want to destroy the forests cherished by elves and cause misunderstandings, so he had to practice his tree-climbing skills.

A sound similar to leaves rustling nearby caught his attention, but the trees around Kuboert weren’t moved by the wind. A strong sense of nausea surged in his heart, and the Priest instinctively grasped the Holy Emblem hanging from his neck.

When encountering undead, Kuboert would have this feeling. His colleagues had joked, "Kuboert’s stomach is more convenient than a detect undead spell."

However, after waiting a while, no undead came to attack. As one of the main priests of the Light God, Kuboert would never let any undead creatures wandering this world go unchallenged. It was one of his lifelong missions to let these monsters return to their graves. In his other hand, Kuboert held the Hard Head Hammer—this weapon’s ceremonial function exceeded its practical combat use.
