>>6285774>>6285919>>6285924I laughed a lot good sir.
>>6285970>>6285990You explained everything with diplomacy and tact, as any gentleman.
-We have priests to give us advice on these matters.
-Oh ! Priests... Like druids, I have a friend who is a druid you know and I studied amongst druids a long time ago.
-No, no, we have no more druids. Only priests.
-Of what church and of what deity if I might ask ?
-Of the Church. The only one. And of the only God. Our lord Jesus Christ who was born and risen from the dead.
She seemed fascinated.
-You mean that you have a necromantic clergy counselling you ? Are you categorised as an evil nation ?
You did not understand everything but the last words made you chuckle.
-According to Englishmen I suppose, but who cares about them ? But we are not in France now, tell me about yourself my lady.
She answered pleasantly, nodding and explaining.
-Me ? Oh, I come from a long line of Thaumaturgist who have studied traditional wood elven medicine. But after several centuries of practice, and the situation in Tricked and Bifuria... We had to live in cities and you know how it is with Thaumaturgist and traditional doctors. They are seen as rural boors by the High Elves, even by the humans... So I studied the Arcane arts properly, graduated first of my class of course, and I am now a trained mage with almost two centuries of practice. I would have joined a temple, and I would want to, in the future, but I think that I shall wait to be at least a millennia old before a monastic retreat. I have been a mage in Briberopolis, as a member of the Mage's Guild, I have finished eleven dungeons, healed many forms of wounds and I am a mage of rank six, soon of rank seven if I continue to practice.
You were not an expert about what she said and understood half the words but one thing was sure, she was a witch. Even if she had monastic dreams of repentance it was probably not with the Lord. Whatever, she seemed to have healed for centuries and was probably a master in her demesne, or someone very talented for the Guelphs to have remarked her talents in such a short time. So you told.
-Can you cure illnesses like the one of my lady's handmaiden ?
-My Lord, I have never seen your lady's handmaiden. If I see her I could tell... I have been told that she is ill but I know nothing more.
You tried to find an answer but she had a point, yes, of course. You then asked.
-And besides magic, do you have any other talent that I could put to good use ?
-Oh ! Besides magic ? You are a wise lord, lord de Villeroi. Many of them ask court wizards to do everything with magic like they have a magical solution for everything. I am not simply a magician, I can do something that becomes far more fashionable each year : science !
