Chapter 24: CH 12.2

Trick of the Trade (2)

Fiona curled her lips. Anna's remarks about becoming a noblewoman evoked unpleasantness in her heart. She said with some attitude, "But do you have five gold coins?"

Abigail and Kelly stopped talking when they heard Fiona's words.

"Five gold coins?" Anna asked, puzzled. Her current salary was ten silver coins a month. Even if she could save all of it, it would take more than four years to save enough.

The three girls’ salaries were slightly higher than hers, and it would still take nearly four years to save enough money.

Fiona sneered, "If you want to know if you are the body of the holy light or have affinity for the supernatural elements, you must go to the church or the Mage association to check. Each examination requires five gold coins."

She seemed to be a little happy to be able to hammer Anna's unrealistic dreams. At the same time, she seemed to be upset and resentful for this fact. Her emotions were a bit complicated.

Anna pursed her lips. If that was so, she wouldn't need to even think about this for years to come.

Speaking of it, there was that demon who was still eyeing her, and she didn't know if she could still wait out these years. She didn't know when the demon would lose his patience. She desperately wanted to become a mage and gain the strength to compete with the demon.

"Apart from paying five gold coins for the examination, is there no other way?" Anna asked without giving up, "Maybe I can learn it by myself?"

"Are you literate?" Fiona raised her chin, her expression sarcastic. "Even if you are literate, where can you find those precious books? I heard that a book of that kind costs more than ten gold coins!"

Although Anna was a college student in her own world, she was indeed illiterate here.

The literacy rate in this world was very low; there were even a small number of nobles who were illiterate, let alone ordinary people. And English was not used here, so Anna still relied on the memory of the original body to talk to people without language barriers.

Therefore, even if a magic book was placed in front of her, she could only look but be unable to do anything else.

Seeing Anna’s depressed expression, Kelly hurriedly grabbed Fiona. She then turned to Anna and said, "Actually, it is not without a chance! The goddess loves the world. Every five years, priests will choose the Holy Light Body. The most pious people can get the chance to be tested!"

"What kind of people are considered the most pious?" Anna asked.

Kelly was taken aback, and said with uncertainty: "The goddess will send down an oracle."

Fuck the goddess oracle!

Anna looked at the sky. It was very bright, and there was no sign of punishment coming from the skies.

Even her behavior of scolding the goddess was not punished. It could be seen that the goddess either did not exist, or existed but was not so versatile, or just doesn't care about such trivial things. The selection of the Holy Light Body every five years was obviously a trivial matter.

In other words, the standard was probably set by the clergy, and she, as an atheist, existing in a magic-containing world, would be eliminated after some strange spell at the beginning.

Anna asked less hopefully: "When will the next selection be?"

Kelly said: "The selection was last year, so we have to wait for another four years."

Anna sighed in her heart.

Four years? Then she might as well save for those five gold coins.

But before that, the demon might just kill her. If it was her, she wouldn't be willing to wait so long for someone either. The demon's temper seemed short, and she suspected that he could not even wait three months.

"If you have confidence in yourself, you can borrow money from others to go to the church for a test." Fiona looked at Anna and suddenly said, "Once it is determined that you are the Holy Light Body, the church will return five gold coins to you. Of course, if it turns out that you are not, then these five gold coins are gone."

Anna looked at Fiona and smiled: "Thank you, I will consider it."

It seems that the five gold coins of the church were put in place to stop civilians. If the test was free, the civilians would all want to test, and the church would become more lively than a vegetable market.

As for the five gold coins of the Mage Association, there was no need to return them. Any one of the magic books needed ten gold coins. It was clear that this was only affordable for the rich and nobles. If one couldn’t even pay five gold coins for the test, what should they do if they advanced to the next level and needed gold coins to continue studying? If one did not have money, there was no need to test from the beginning.

For the impoverished Anna, all the roads, whether to become a mage or priest, were blocked.

And this was exactly the disappointing reality faced by all civilians in this world.

Anna looked at Abigail and her group; none of them seemed to be in a good mood.

The gap between the rich and the poor was miles wide.
