I was an apprentice in Ferren

Chapter 97 Quietly
Angie felt a little uneasy after lying to the kind nanny, but she quickly cheered herself up, cast an invisibility spell on herself, and ran to the mage academy.

In the doctrines of most churches, marriage is sacred and recognized and protected by the laws of various nations. Even in slave-owning countries like Serel, where the strong prey on the weak, the rulers still respect the marriages of free citizens and encourage them to have many children to produce more valuable mage apprentices.

Countries that worship gods like Shuni, the goddess of love, with their chaotic alignments, don't really care about these kinds of issues. Today they love your eyes, tomorrow they love hers, and they might not even know who their child's father is, which is quite pitiful.

Although these people will grow up with the help of the church, children who lack parental love will either become devout believers who live in the church or cold-hearted madmen who disregard the law. They are two completely different extremes and are definitely a destabilizing factor in society.

Of course, these are all written by a scholar in a book, and Angie doesn't really know if that's true or not. But DuPont and Pastor Dorothy are more than ten years apart in age, so even if they got married, it would probably be difficult for them to receive people's blessings.

Even professionals have limited youth; after a few decades, they will face the problem of physical aging, and their relationships may encounter problems then. She doesn't want to see such a tragedy happen.

This might be a bit presumptuous, but she had just used her talent to probe Pastor Dorothy's thoughts.

That was an emotion suppressed by doctrine for more than 20 years, now as fiery as the eve of a volcanic eruption. The overflowing lust had swallowed Dorothy's reason, making her throw away what she once cherished most, wanting only to be her purest self and obtain that decadent pleasure.

This is wrong. When that burning passion dies down, the pastor will definitely regret it!
I must stop this behavior immediately to prevent a tragedy from happening!
Thinking of this, Anqi ran even faster, her little leather shoes creaking and groaning, the soles making a crisp thumping sound on the school's paving stones. The sound was so loud that it almost extinguished the courage that Anqi had just ignited.

Using invisibility is obviously not a friendly option. Some well-funded public bathhouses even set up anti-invisibility barriers to prevent some lecherous guys from sneaking in and spying.

If someone discovers that she is sneaking into the boys' dormitory when no one is around, she can't betray Dorothy by saying she's coming to find him. So what method can she use to maintain her innocence?

Continue lying and saying I went to DuPont to ask for something?
Putting aside whether the guards would believe such a clumsy excuse, what if someone insisted on taking her to the dormitory?
Thinking of this, Angie's face flushed slightly. She looked around and thankfully, the academy was almost deserted on Sunday, and there were no guards patrolling the distance between the church and the academy; they were quite lax.

The spell still had time left, so she decided to walk slowly to avoid being caught.
She tiptoed and landed slowly, her footsteps almost silent as she walked through the academy, which she had visited many times before. For some reason, she felt her heart pounding, as if she were doing something wrong.

You are doing the right thing. You are saving Pastor Dorothy, who is so kind and loving to you. How can you be afraid?

Silently encouraging herself, Anqi felt a surge of fearless strength. However, when she arrived at the boys' dormitory, she suddenly encountered a new problem.

Where does DuPont live?

I can't just knock on each door one by one. If I come to the boys' dormitory alone on a Sunday looking for someone, people will definitely think I'm weird.
Damn it, she was so overwhelmed by the pastor's overflowing emotions that she didn't carefully find out where DuPont actually lived, and now she doesn't know what to do.

By the way, the pastor has a close friend who is the school doctor here; perhaps I could ask her for help.

The infirmary was on the first floor, not far away. After checking that no one was around, the young priest canceled his invisibility spell and gently knocked on the door: "Is Dr. Sophie in?" "Please come in."

The door opened, and the half-elf was sitting in a seat reading a book. There were also delicate snacks and tea on the table. She was a little surprised to see the little priest: "What's wrong, Angie? It's only been half a month. Are you feeling unwell again?"

“No.” Angie was a little embarrassed when she mentioned it, but the thought of rescuing people filled her with strength: “It’s like this, DuPont is a part-time monk at the church, right? I have some questions for him today.”

“Oh, DuPont?” Sophie was a little surprised at the mention of the name, then a mysterious smile appeared on her face. “I heard Dorothy said that you two had some dealings over exchanging the Handbook. Are you jealous?”

"Jealous??" Angie was so surprised that she almost bit her tongue. She couldn't help but think of what happened that night, and her face immediately turned red. "How could I be jealous of him? Doctor, you misunderstood. We just know each other."

“Really?” Sophie gave a smile like an elder: “Everyone says DuPont has found a paladin girlfriend. I heard that he’s five feet six inches tall, with a great figure and a wealthy family background. The two are very close, and they almost stripped naked in the carriage.”

"Huh?" Angie was surprised at first, then angry.

He had taken advantage of the fact that they were alone before, and he had an ambiguous relationship with the church's paladin. He even seduced the church's pastor while he had a girlfriend.

How could that guy named DuPont be so wicked!

Seeing Angie's furious expression, Sophie found it quite amusing. Although there were many people dating at school, there weren't many who were connected to the church and involved in a love triangle. More importantly, she knew everyone except that paladin.

Sophie took out the roster and glanced at it casually before replying quickly, "He lives in room 327 on the third floor, but he's been going out on weekends lately, so you might not run into him."

"Thank you, doctor. I just saw him come back." Angie made a gesture with her hand, as if to say, "Thank you for your help."

Sophie nodded with a smile, but as Angie left and closed the door, a smug smile appeared on her face. She secretly cast a spell, and then her figure disappeared into thin air.

Wouldn't it be a waste of this beautiful afternoon to not go and see such a lively spectacle?

The half-elf quietly followed ten meters behind. Her agility made her stealth almost imperceptible, and the little priest, preoccupied with other matters, was completely unaware. He saw her tiptoeing outside the door for a long time, as if she was struggling with whether or not to go in.
