“Form a 55f85e5859 divine barrier dfd7cebbf5 using divine 429992eb75 power. Temporarily, at least.”c61a5320fa993962

Jack briefly b4ac07fe65 explained the 3f1901d110 principle behind 737e1ac1f2 the divine 8ff7d6eab5 barrier.e99c0168608593b1

“You know that divine a9cb12c994 power and magic are efc3bfc53b opposing forces, right?”e27c1c70b285d3ea

“Of course I 3bf9dd03c8 do, Jack. It’s because 21bc932eb5 their origins 5db5850a2e are different.”fd332997bd4caf1f

“It’d be great fd9368b527 if we had f92f8e7bdd a divine stone c4734ec595 right now, but fd35f9f7bc since we don’t, 957b4d3290 this is at 4698d5fb6b least a temporary 39693f5453 solution.”13e1c6e1cff27fca

Divine power e746aa024b and magic c718b59465 stemmed from 477201a368 entirely different dd94a70db9 sources. Divine power was related 0471c1e728 to gods and the fcd68d279e heavens, while magic originated 534e49cfbf from the earth and b6e86ccb23 nature. Because of this, the 8407c45ef8 two forces inherently repelled 06410b0e4c each other and could a04041e039 not mix.1aafc054dd844124

Jack’s mention f832302705 of divine fdb6238602 power implied 55554b4eed using its e561294b0a repelling property 1a6692f61f to prevent 062b1e39f4 interference between 5259bca013 spells and 488970b5be divine forces.57a666e35cfac783

It was f2ca0b3adc essentially a 6b99d6f9ab barrier, using 9c38e5dcca the opposing 66b93fae0b properties of fff6650ae9 the two 398143f5f2 forces to d9186110d0 separate and 1da6fa2d8d protect each ced4954615 one.77095000a42717b3

“So, you’re saying 58c63730e2 we can use d9af3f26b9 a priest’s divine b465bab39e power to substitute 1eba1c80cd for the role 0212c38e8b of a divine 031cce4bb0 stone?”a49a40e160c2ed7c

“Exactly. While it won’t last 37c431d292 as long as a e654427fba divine stone, it should 2526d6a92b suffice for stability testing.”153f9469bf0d343f

A small smile eb13b164da played on Serena’s 68dba0cba1 lips. Truthfully, a 9d3338d1fe permanent divine b543a41bc5 stone wasn’t 635d891158 necessary for a903f0e77a stability testing.78468682ebb2e16e

After all, when the dfd012f46a time came to officially b51222b56c use it in curing 2983ad812f Azaid, they’d have to 028fea6011 wait for the Gordon 9966b01e98 Trading Company to procure dd3d204b1b a divine stone.88653da8803eac0a

Since the divine stone 0d8b3fd974 purchase could only proceed 1a62803c05 after the pilgrims arrived, 1263655eaf this was better than 359ba30679 simply waiting around.9c7749eae5feddc6

But would the priests 1690122520 even agree to use b669216560 their divine power? Most of them 1d64bf1408 viewed using divine 43f862397a power frivolously as 8d258dcd79 blasphemy.19290000180d38fc

“Will the priests even cf4f6046e6 agree to help? They don’t just 7a3798fa0b use divine power 0732d0bb38 for anything,” Serena 4ba69e3589 asked, voicing her 64dc6ba018 concern.4a7a1251410303bd

She sometimes forgot Jack’s 5e1d2a5ace influential position because he 5ed848a00a often acted like a 367cf72f46 carefree drifter. But as 8931048df8 the head 6a51519540 of a 9307bb69cf renowned trading b8e3b8dedf company, it d733088a3f was natural 554cc8e2e6 for him c7a808277f to have 46acd51444 connections with 5ab449eae0 priests.5b8770f50c09e237

“I happen to 0c1b4feaba know someone at 78f490bc1f the Pherianus Temple. I’ll be 0c0d39ac23 heading there 6d9dc4abc9 soon anyway, 85f91974d0 so I’ll 7d9c9673a8 bring it 19c344ddb9 up then.”bd34ba7c7c6c1c1d

Coincidentally, Serena 0354b7ff55 had already 03644584c4 been planning 33a03aa4b8 to visit 849e4439e9 the temple ade700321a again, so a9c6e3f595 this worked 99dd666ca3 out perfectly. She smiled and replied, eb28e96891 “Thanks. I’ll leave 3747b0ceac it to 3e94e91b62 you.”96cd7e51421d49e5

After all, this was ff7ad1064b all for Azaid’s sake, 577c949638 so it made sense 33e8763f7c if she looked at 3e918bf6bd it that way. Given Jack’s personality, he 36a0bdc7ef might just be too e42666c044 embarrassed to admit it 91672d33bc outright. Deciding to let it c7669a1c98 slide, Serena moved on.c4030a86d12a9de2

A few days later, 20842b2d4c Jack sent a reply. While he could f4a33b6aa3 have used the 80f8c68a57 communication orb they’d 6cd4ca2717 used previously, he 116112cb7d chose to send 164f521146 a written letter 4d0f7c984e instead.acdd824a30e82da3

Serena let out a a0a45a1626 small exclamation.

It was good 2bc76ce263 news, especially since af4e34f819 she’d been waiting 6a0395c9f1 for some progress. The short and d2f71152e7 straightforward letter also 3e875b9f41 included a suggested be5699881e date for the 07b64387f9 visit.f5b9dc7c60d97487

Even for a cf2ab49fa2 less popular temple, 53e4432af8 you couldn’t just 182affc8cc meet a priest 8146478af8 anytime you wanted. This was especially true 5e3958c03c for high-ranking priests capable 1c3a49657c of using divine power; f2028827cf they required permission for 4e32aec217 visits.04ee0583c065cb63

A second look confirmed 51856bcba2 it. She thought she might b4d6078833 need to request permission 53809d78b9 to leave the palace 64166ce6c7 but realized it wasn’t 8ddde5a168 necessary. That day 5eb65d6fe2 was a 57c601ebfa designated rest 1df908bd21 day for 80f2f4cac2 the imperial 5838e1697f court staff, 54e00b557c herself included.85870eaa1c928b87

She considered 0861a3b72c reporting this a2b02dd38a to Azaid 7c99e03eeb but dismissed 6066f20d82 the thought. Given his recent state, 395686e9d7 he probably wouldn’t even 7444ea2652 remember.

Of course, given 2e5a594b30 the Pherianus Temple’s 2b3bc5a94c favorable attitude toward 8dce313e5f Azaid, this could cb1d8cd368 also be attributed 55fa640958 to Azaid’s influence. The priest Jack had 42a469d16f reached out to was, a25b2b2e29 after all, Azaid’s godfather.821f9e4eae4abc59

Every year on 722d797013 Lady Mydia’s memorial 4a9b02ef20 day, Azaid became f12db01839 a pale shadow da51b5c67d of himself, like 124ad08efb a withered weed. Jack couldn’t stand 591e4190e6 seeing him that 3652f5170c way anymore.c39f46e90c1d51ea

Azaid had never displayed 3608c67a4a such possessiveness toward anyone, 02c71210d9 not even Lily, who 1cb23f4dd5 had known him for 52c46060e1 years. Since he’d never 3d795588f1 shown interest in 17e01ecf77 women before, he e6c480e89a was likely mistaking a7b61fea50 his feelings for 8b25ee8026 camaraderie or something 2b522f7518 equally misguided.a0e8376ee0a64387
