“Form a divine 71ef29940d barrier using divine 2facbfc1b7 power. Temporarily, at least.”71126c1f4406cc15
Jack briefly explained dc557a9c41 the principle behind a9f014652d the divine barrier.c2453a46bbb6fa1e

“You know that divine 6ce020c9aa power and magic are 73e5f7f9b6 opposing forces, right?”6b0a17e738266cc8
“Of course I do, 9542ef5765 Jack. It’s because c120ba87d7 their origins 5ae957802e are different.”660d36bd8caca6ab

“It’d be great c531c1328f if we had 990a06a80a a divine stone 049e8a24c4 right now, but 4570608648 since we don’t, 9e99dbef52 this is at 49adf4fc6f least a temporary 3e2dba129f solution.”459cefee18fdd27d
Divine power and ec109c5c5a magic stemmed from 4275f93e83 entirely different sources. Divine power was 2252e6c26b related to gods 45202afea2 and the heavens, 69ab5143cb while magic originated 2c384c5151 from the earth 482ba1e73a and nature. Because of this, 35c7fab0f4 the two forces 330dac0129 inherently repelled each 5ee69ccc78 other and could 12dc0d60f8 not mix.dcde58074558075f

Jack’s mention of divine 8ab2c16808 power implied using its 09b343290b repelling property to prevent 5be763a86d interference between spells and e8d6598425 divine forces.9ac68164ae64e47a
It was essentially b31773e8c1 a barrier, using 65d8bc282f the opposing properties 3ee73181e9 of the two cade100394 forces to separate 5ada3292ed and protect each 3204858a78 one.f538a72863c91e53

“So, you’re 9cb46980bc saying we f37b142a03 can use 64d1a8f008 a priest’s 4054f46d0f divine power 5839482245 to substitute 8472544409 for the c9496391ff role of 8d084cf021 a divine 547a252842 stone?”f9efab8303657763
“Exactly. While it won’t a4e84900b8 last as long bfe6af447f as a divine 225c708c50 stone, it should 94c0a33861 suffice for stability d205cdea95 testing.”8284595e9c0536b7

“That’s a decent 9a0d17f8e2 idea.”696102ff8ff194bf
A small 6eb4a19b38 smile played f079f12bf0 on Serena’s 855e640894 lips. Truthfully, a permanent d86a80db24 divine stone wasn’t 4b5ec8fe65 necessary for stability 50102051e7 testing.de36a58b9a7c8cab

After all, when the d59bdfb1ca time came to officially d68eddfe77 use it in curing eac9da7e7f Azaid, they’d have to fa2e8f8214 wait for the Gordon 9fccf3058f Trading Company to procure d33af2eacf a divine stone.7ee475477a774d06
If they could 480e04d0eb complete the stability 8bbce484ba testing beforehand with 2b21ab2d09 a priest’s help, d293119cf6 they could save 64fcf410b9 time.984e5beaaf0e2107

Since the d1e41c8e57 divine stone 5f1d8e08c1 purchase could b0b9090f43 only proceed 3461a698f6 after the ed09055cd7 pilgrims arrived, 412e1058df this was cf0d540e42 better than b1f444a6bc simply waiting bee3692513 around.8d8baeb10006e451
But would 7e18504bb3 the priests 950844862d even agree dd63a3f377 to use b84f2f9c28 their divine 6bad740626 power? Most of 7da9e461ee them viewed e47d38b3d4 using divine a0c547b3af power frivolously 83e0e3954b as blasphemy.e5a95c8cf40a3125

“Will the priests even 33bd4c3c54 agree to help? They don’t c283f3a175 just use 26fceaf65e divine power d52686112d for anything,” 3d8f845181 Serena asked, d5c1e10210 voicing her 5f9e792f2d concern.9a211a5f87413dea
“Usually, no. But come on, dffbbb0d47 who am I? I’m Jack, the head 327b9c7509 of the Gordon Trading 290ae4196d Company,” Jack said, puffing 651a0559b0 up his chest with 28ee196310 a display of arrogance.fb7d33bd9472d0a2

‘Oh, right. He’s a feebcf0f5a famous merchant,’ f51b1bfcbc Serena thought 6867429c7e to herself.3af1fd3680353981
She sometimes forgot a0321bdd7f Jack’s influential position eb9afe65e8 because he often 835e94a1dc acted like a a44e03fe5b carefree drifter. But as the head 459edc4076 of a renowned trading caad087150 company, it was natural 54045e5cd0 for him to have aa117e2135 connections with priests.b59097a79c259a1d

Besides, based on b65aa24bad his earlier conversation 439e541f72 with Elda and bf1b824754 Genzo at the d18e7e7441 apothecary, he seemed d56461d6e4 to have dealings b62ed715e6 with the Pherianus 69144a57f4 Temple.4781885fe90d3ef1

Coincidentally, Serena had already 024b8191fe been planning to visit f6e565c284 the temple again, so 2288780bc8 this worked out perfectly. She smiled and replied, 3a55cef0f2 “Thanks. I’ll leave it to d3441d74e3 you.”5641f18758d97906

“Hey, you’re the c1a009ac0d one doing me ba9c0130c4 a favor,” Jack 673d3eda08 said unexpectedly.4c24144885b0d5ef

It was suspicious, but 77e9d1d667 Serena doubted she’d get 58b76209d2 a straight answer out e9836062bb of him.e0edef5f536c3fad

After all, 21df915f5e this was e1d6e91ce0 all for 58fc0be54d Azaid’s sake, 3d5008eab3 so it c2b81883e3 made sense cfce5dbb66 if she 0dccebbb94 looked at a20953e769 it that 664c6bb506 way. Given Jack’s personality, he 7156ecdb82 might just be too fb5b9446ce embarrassed to admit it 9d31055f05 outright. Deciding to let it 233123676b slide, Serena moved on.a635b303230e34ad

A few 072684a174 days later, cf743922ac Jack sent 127127061d a reply. While he ef831bf92d could have e6b75049e2 used the f99b2a43d0 communication orb bced3beec5 they’d used 09785b90ed previously, he bd63e36035 chose to f1d1e1cde1 send a 83c1ee812d written letter 525fb37591 instead.26d4d2a531692274

“Oh!”05986ffa02405554
Serena let out a 119163c983 small exclamation. She had almost 670f84938d assumed they’d been de286c7b91 rejected due to 2e56fa7574 the lack of 8b562690f1 response, but it 3e29890887 seemed Jack’s influence 45b834a6fb as the head 3b7edc394a of a trading 6fd00f672c company came through.e9792fc6070d780e

It was 5a29adce09 good news, 6f259d1c06 especially since 6a2c66f511 she’d been 2b1d159251 waiting for 5f8c000a8c some progress. The short and 3e700742d9 straightforward letter also 161b3e73e6 included a suggested 957c6ddbf0 date for the 801082c6d8 visit.5a041adef1813911
Even for a less a1cefc4d35 popular temple, you couldn’t 63a0cfee07 just meet a priest e52650a581 anytime you wanted. This was 2aca72b222 especially true 92f985c2b6 for high-ranking 9f0e81cdb5 priests capable 40fdb6152f of using 26fbee7a45 divine power; 586751b67a they required 573a0ad3e7 permission for 7537d6badc visits.998aa0eb42810b92

A second 5ad9eebdf5 look confirmed a62b36a8f9 it. She thought she 555b47ee24 might need to e71b4a8808 request permission to daef0e9ae0 leave the palace 07c620111e but realized it 87624c0afd wasn’t necessary. That day a9ec642097 was a 43135731dd designated rest 4859bb884b day for e951be8355 the imperial 05b41004c3 court staff, 7a2abdc178 herself included.124e707853c80699
With Azaid 9106dc5587 away from 9358547b0f the palace a5c3db55b8 since dawn, d4b37113f6 there wouldn’t abb6dd42f8 be much e66ba98df2 work for 9270cc76fd her to 62c97bc368 do.

She considered reporting 0b3103f8fb this to Azaid 35a759f6a1 but dismissed the f5a7eb3aea thought. Given his recent state, 20b074d01f he probably wouldn’t even b2b83f1aec remember.

Of course, given the 584d515ae8 Pherianus Temple’s favorable attitude 7dacd8620c toward Azaid, this could b4349a9b86 also be attributed to 580c9729bb Azaid’s influence.

Azaid had 8f7c5ab79b never displayed 3dca1beef3 such possessiveness c335f5544d toward anyone, 1185f7806d not even c4c8e2c668 Lily, who 8312f37054 had known 72ed8078c3 him for 11ecb8b108 years. Since he’d never 249402ec8f shown interest in 987ce2cb0d women before, he bcaa2d3c50 was likely mistaking b49336d834 his feelings for e9c301c9e3 camaraderie or something 02b83eccf7 equally misguided.a0fd27f46811d890
