Saroyan was so upset by the rejection that he didn't even bother to research how to make a toilet. He returned to the castle and tried to distract himself by practicing a new magic circle. An hour passed, and he had exploded three vases, a new cup, and summoned a finger-sized lizard.
"Damn it."
He angrily used magic to freeze the lizard and turned it into lizard jerky.
That night, he couldn't help but find his long-lost friend in the tavern. It was a swordsman he had met during his internship. The swordsman was now a member of the Sunset City patrol.
"Why are you looking for me?" the swordsman asked unhappily. Ever since this guy became a second-level magician, he has never looked for his former friends like them.
"What if you have something you really want but no one will sell it to you?" Saroyan handed the swordsman a bottle of wine.
"What should we do?" The swordsman took the bottle and took a swig. "You magicians still consider this issue? Don't you just take it for yourself?"
There was a silence.
Saroyan pulled a fingernail-sized piece of dark green cotton from his robes, soaked in some potion. He chanted a spell, and a black, misty crow appeared in his palm.
"you're right."
"No one can stop me from getting what I want, not even the gods."
The crow flew out of the tavern and disappeared into the darkness.
That night, a potion master hiding in a canyon received a letter asking him to create two potions that could temporarily blind the gods.
"Oh, I'm happy to do that."
The news that the Baroness had gone to the Healing Inn just for a washroom quickly spread among certain circles in Sunset City. Her romantic affairs were perfect for afternoon tea conversation.
"The rumor that magicians have good brains must be false." A noble lady covered her mouth and said, "Her new lover actually researched a bathroom for her, which is the one..." The noble lady didn't even want to say that word.
"Shameless! It hasn't been long since the Baron's death, and she's already changed four."
"You're mistaken," a noble lady said with a narrow smile, "I didn't change four, I owned four at the same time."
"She has a father who is a count, but she has completely disgraced his reputation."
"Before her marriage, she was even recruited by the head priest of the God of Light, who claimed she had a holy aura. But in the end, she still..."
"That god is a perfect match for her. She was really in the limelight during those years. What a pity that the god has been expelled from the empire." A noble lady said gloatingly. Her husband was once completely bewitched by the baroness, but now he avoids talking about her.
“…”
A lady who looked a little out of place suddenly whispered, "I'm quite concerned about that washroom."
"The temple's washrooms are indeed clean, but so what?"
"No." She looked a little embarrassed, as if she wasn't used to being the center of attention in such an occasion. "It's said that it can be cleansed with magic." Then, she whispered what she had learned.
"It sounds good?" The lady who had just mocked the most hesitated.
"That's easy," said the woman, whose attire looked the most luxurious. "Have the servants go and see for themselves now, and come back and tell us."
Several noble servants came one after another, saying that they wanted to check the washroom of the treatment station, and Eryi agreed very generously.
"Don't look at it for too long, so as not to affect other people's use," she reminded.
Not long after the servants left, the butlers arrived, hoping Eryi could recommend someone to build the washroom. After being rejected, they then expressed a desire to have their own craftsmen come to learn the construction method.
"If they can learn it, then yes." Eryi didn't care at all.
Soon, she began receiving donations from numerous nobles. The total wasn't as much as the Baroness alone had paid, but it was still over eighty gold coins.
The washroom of the treatment station was suddenly transformed into an exhibition hall.
Eryi counted the gold coins happily. As long as she could get enough coins, she didn't care even if they made the toilet into a statue and hung it on the city wall.
After going in and out of the healing station many times, Saroyan knew that there was only a priestess, a girl who only worked during the day, and a second-level magic wolf in the healing station.
Not a single battle-priest or attendant.
After getting the potion, he decided to sneak into the healing station on a moonlit night, without even telling his lover.
That night, before leaving the house, Saroyan cast a spell of invisibility on himself.
——disappeared without a trace.
His figure blended into the night.
After drinking the potion, his skin began to feel alienated all over his body. The gods' gaze passed over him, and he became a person ignored by the gods for a short time.
It must be said that his concealment magic was very effective. When he walked into the door of the healing station, Fluffy didn't even feel it. It was the wild wolf king, and every night, it was most sensitive to whether anyone entered.
Even at night, the hall of the healing station was still as bright as day. Saroyan looked around and found that the magic energy storage ball he wanted was placed carelessly on the table next to the door, unattended.
This made him alert.
Although they always mocked the priests for being incapable of anything but prayer, that didn't mean they thought they were all fools. He picked up his wand and cast several spells on the magic energy storage ball.
——Reveal the true form, remove the curse,
After the spell was cast, the appearance of the magic energy storage ball did not seem to change, and the indicator above it began to display the number of magic energy injected.
"It can decompose the completed spell into magic power again." Saroyan wanted this ball even more.
All the summoning spells he cast at the mana storage ball were converted into magic and absorbed. In the end, he decided to take it himself. He had just taken out the dragon leather case he had prepared earlier when a cold voice came from above the escalator.
"Good evening, sir." The only female priest in the healing station, dressed in white robes, was standing by the railing on the second floor and asked him, "What are you doing?"
There was nothing to say. Saroyan raised his wand and took out the remaining bottle of isolation potion, wanting to cut off the connection between the priestess and her god before she could pray to him.
Then everything went dark before his eyes.
"Why would someone who looks like a decent person become a thief? I thought he wanted to sell magic." Ling Ling Ba said they didn't have a self-service magic sales business. So, while Er Yi was energetically watching a TV series, he called her out.
"What is this?" Eryi walked to the unconscious Saroyan and picked up the bottle of potion that had not been successfully used.
[Isolation Potion: Can temporarily isolate all gods from the user.] 500 Energy.
"Confiscated."
Eryi considers himself a good citizen who abides by the law, so in this situation, of course he would choose to call the police.
When Saroyan woke up again, he was imprisoned in a cell in Sunset City. His wand had been confiscated, and he was given some potions that restricted the regeneration of his magic power.
People from the Magic Guild and the Believers Guild worked together to reconstruct some of the facts of that night and confirmed Saroyan's guilt.
The Baroness parted with him gracefully and sent a servant to bring her letter to read to him. ——I originally admired your intelligence, but I didn't expect that your brain seemed to be in the wrong place.
His friend from the patrol came to visit him and said, "I never thought you'd dare to attack the priest. Why are you hiding in the corner? That's not like you."
A junior student, who had always had a bad relationship with him, also came to visit him. "The instructor said, I didn't expect you to be so incompetent that you couldn't even defeat the priests of the new gods. After you get out, don't return to the Mage Tower. I will sever all ties with you." The junior student leaned in and asked, "So, what happened? We tried to reconstruct the events of that night, but we only saw you faint. Was something tampered with?"
Saroyan hugged himself and closed his eyes, refusing to recall the past.
“It’s everywhere.”
The ladies gloated over his misfortune.
"Her lover tried to steal things from the very god she wanted to be close to. How could she still have the face to do that?"
"If I were her, I would restrain my behavior and stay in my castle, not daring to go out." A noble lady looked very happy: "I really want to see her face."
"By the way, is that thing ready?"
"If we only make one similar one, and it really comes in handy, it may be very expensive." To renovate some parts of the castle itself, we need to obtain the consent of the owner.
"You're talking about that. When it's used, the sound permeates the entire castle. We need to hire a magician to regularly reinforce the soundproofing spell."
"You mention it, and it reminds me." A lady who didn't look particularly wealthy said, "The Lord once requested a similar thing be built, and even built a large sewer system for it. I have to admit, despite the opposition at the time, the streets did become much cleaner..."
"Is it finally done?" The lady didn't care whether the street was clean or not, she didn't walk on the street at all.
"I don't know about that."
A church.
"The Baroness is such a face-saver, she definitely won't hang out with her anymore." One woman seemed cheerful. "She had no other choice but to choose us. She even had me by her side yesterday afternoon."
"well done."
"Did you know? The priestess actually refused the Baroness's invitation to view the flower fields, saying she didn't have time."
"I believe the lady will make the right choice. She needs to support the rise of a new god in order to retain all her current rights. She will soon realize that only we can help her and understand her."
When everyone thought that the Baroness would be too embarrassed to continue associating with Eryi, she sent someone to deliver a donation of one hundred gold coins, saying that it was an apology for her lover, and invited Eryi to share afternoon tea with her.
——I hope to have the honor of enjoying my flower fields with you.
Eryi was busy upgrading his skills, so of course he chose not to go.
The next morning, a carriage pulled up at the Healing Inn, loaded with fresh flowers. Beautiful maids decorated the inn with petals and vases, occasionally offering flowers to passersby. This gesture greatly improved the inn's popularity.
The car was also loaded with cakes and tea commonly used by nobles, and the servants arranged everything for her.
——May you appreciate it with the gods. See you another day.
Fluffy was surrounded by flowers, with a wreath on its head that Dale had woven for it, and it sneezed loudly.
Eryi tried to eat pastries from another world.
"Cake?" She took another bite and found it surprisingly delicious.
