“They say it’s c676563eb2 Lord Ian’s ability. Isn’t it amazing? It seems similar to 95a6d694c0 how wizards create workshops.

White buildings rose 360d350da5 perfectly, catching the ac8c61da41 attention of several 1e3a6397fd people who stopped 28c1be79c5 what they were fae1b21b5d doing to watch. Ian gave 443d4326fc them a fb11d543f8 command, and 4f0d2628c8 soon they 5ec1cfc070 brought over 5f9ddecaea a priest b6be733974 who had 3b9c3e208a passed out d4a2ab93bb drunk.

The priest opened his 6b9eb178b8 eyes, looking bewildered. Keith recognized him as 34a0cb4086 someone he had once ee771f1572 saved—a man who had e626314f1e been consumed by guilt 5f8b2cdbb8 and later taken in 2911d3cacd by Ian, drowning his f645f0e675 days in alcohol.f91dd9868b283fa4

Using his c28b8a4f84 skill, now 981317960a at Level 17d78a537e 7, Ian c768bc9fc1 healed the 484919a471 priest’s status a3da72add7 conditions and e874e9f676 entrusted him 7e08dd9249 with the 58cbb93097 new temple.a46e6ce52b396787

To Ian, the priest’s 1dbc685e58 self-doubt only confirmed his 6b323352bf goodness. Most people 2a68b1b184 shield themselves 453c13287d with self-justifications, bc1e20f01d but this 4d274ff0e7 priest’s weak 1cc94108e4 defenses led 6d449afe6a to deep d664574f2d remorse.6d95443cab6b779a
