Chapter 50: Instant
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
From the moment Zhao Xu had chosen to become stronger, his character class’ path and choices themselves were all affected by The Final Scroll.
Zhao Xu originally thought that nobody had given him any instructions on how to choose a domain and thought that this wasn’t a very important matter at this point.
It was only when he saw the cleric on stage specifically pull out this particular piece of paper did he realize that nothing was ever that simple around here.
From the Wizard Association all the way to The Final Scroll, and the influence they had on the church of the Goddess was way beyond what he had expected.
It was already powerful enough to affect the cleric who was lecturing right now even though Zhao Xu had decided to go to this lecture at the last possible minute, and they put down exactly which domains Zhao Xu should pick.
The only thing that confused Zhao Xu was the fact that he had been given three domains.
According to the cleric lecturer earlier, every cleric was supposed to be able to choose only two domains for themselves.
But Zhao Xu didn’t hesitate because of that. He continued to carefully read the little additional notes that were scribbled below those three domains on his paper.
Magic: Required for Prestige Class Dweomerkeeper
Planning: Prerequisite for attaining Persistent Spell feat
Knowledge: Exchange domain
Someone had especially added these three notes to this piece of paper.
And the most important part of all was that that someone had signed it -Antonya.
When Zhao Xu saw that signature, he gasped. He was quite sure that nobody at this point would dare to forge the signature of a Legendary Wizard.
After thinking about it this way, Zhao Xu felt a bit emotional. His mentor was still looking out for him after all.
Those three additional remarks clearly wrote the reason why these should be chosen, and were totally Antonya’s style.
Zhao Xu continued to study the information on this piece of paper. He wanted to see what sort of powers these three domains granted.
For Magic Domain, the granted power was that when he used scrolls, wands, and other devices he could add to its power or level according to his cleric level.
This didn’t mean much to him, but since it was a prerequisite for a prestige class, he had to choose it even if he thought of it as a burden.
As for Planning Domain, it was able to get him the feat of Extend Spell.
Knowledge Domain allowed him to add all Knowledge skills to his list of cleric class skills, and he could cast divination spells at +1 of his spellcaster class level.
After comparing them, Planning Domain seemed the most valuable to Zhao Xu.
It was equivalent to getting a bonus feat. While this feat required an additional Level 1 spell slot, it could make a spell last twice as long.
In that case, a cleric having two domains was similar to them getting two feats, and this wasn’t something to be overlooked.
Zhao Xu nodded while he read the various spells belonging to each domain.
For all three domains, each list of domain spells had one spell for each level, from Level 1 to Level 9.
He was now a Level 1 Cleric, so he would get one Level 1 domain spell slot. He could choose to prepare one spell out of the three Level 1 spells among the three domain spell lists he had here.
For a Level 1 player with very limited spell slots, this was a great boost that shouldn’t be ignored.
According to what people were saying on the forums, learning of these domains also came with the problem of opportunity.
The fastest players generally took two afternoons to finish learning them. Zhao Xu had three domains, so it would probably take him longer.
Zhao Xu looked up at all the cleric apprentices in the hall. All of them were generally looking at the parchment paper in their hands with very serious and stern expressions on their faces.
They might have had some understanding of these things before this, but when they actually looked at the powers of these domains, they were probably extremely confused.
“Decide on which domains you wish to choose, then start praying to the Goddess. After that, you have to find your own way to increase your understanding of the powers of these domains.”
“For example, if you choose Magic Domain and you’ve gone through wizard apprentice training before, the time you take to understand it will be much faster.”
“And if let’s say you choose Knowledge Domain and you’ve studied some of these religious texts before, then you would also gain the granted powers of this domain much sooner.”
“Alright now, all of you can proceed with praying. You can leave in the meantime if you want to and just go with your feeling to understand this. I will be here to help and guide each one of you.”
The cleric giving the lecture explained all this when he felt it was a good time to.
Zhao Xu’s thoughts were pretty clear. His Level 1 Wizard status made him feel quite confident that he would have an advantage in this aspect, and he might really get this whole thing over and done with in three afternoons.
“Have you chosen which domains you want?” a female voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
Zhao Xu turned his head to look. It was Xiaoke, the female cleric apprentice who had chatted with him in the morning.
“The rest of them managed to understand one or two domains over the past two weeks. I’m the only one who still doesn’t get it, and that’s why I ended up joining this round of lectures again. I’m so glad you’re here too.”
Zhao Xu nodded his head. “I’m still thinking about it.”
The other players he saw this morning were all surrounding this particular girl, so it seemed they were pretty familiar with one another.
But Zhao Xu wasn’t really the type who became depressed because he was in a strange place, and he wasn’t the sort who would be desperate to find fellow countrymen in a foreign environment.
He had so many more things to do now. Forget wooing a girl-he couldn’t even think about going after his goddess.

Becoming more powerful was the main thing driving him right now.
“Then you’ve got to share your experiences with me later, I feel like you’re really smart. Unlike me, I’m too stupid, and I can’t seem to get it even though the other guys keep trying to teach me.”

“Sure, I’ll share if I get anything,” replied Zhao Xu.
After that, he closed his eyes and started to prepare to pray to the Goddess.
Magic, Planning, Knowledge.
Zhao Xu quietly thought about the names of these three domains as he started to recall the prayer template that he used in the morning.
Just when he was about to start praying, and that instant when he was about to start reciting his prayer…
That familiar feeling that he felt the last time he gained divine magic came once more.
A beam of light flashed through his entire brain.
Cleric Apprentice Zhongxia attains Magic Domain.
Cleric Apprentice Zhongxia attains Planning Domain.
Cleric Apprentice Zhongxia attains Knowledge Domain.
Three messages appeared in the message board of his character stats in a row.
Zhao Xu was still confused as to what was going on.
He bent down to look at the information on his feats, and there really was an additional Extend Spell feat, and it also had the words ‘Planning Domain’ in brackets behind it.
His message board might have errors, but the character stats menu would never lie to him.
In other words, he had really attained the granted powers of these domains.
Everything had gone so smoothly, he almost couldn’t believe it.
This was the first time he felt that his good luck was getting a little crazy now. The fastest record among the players was two afternoons.

Zhao Xu now opened his eyes again to look around the small hall.
Most of the cleric apprentices hadn’t reached the stage where they started praying yet. Many of them had even gotten up to walk about as they were still thinking about what they should do.
And he was done just like that?
Zhao Xu also stood up like them.
“Where are you going?” Xiaoke asked in surprise.
Zhao Xu shook his head. “I’m going out to get some inspiration.”
That was right, it was time for him to search for inspiration by attending other lectures.
He had fully gained the granted powers of each domain.
Zhao Xu rushed to be in time for the next training class and walked straight out the door.
Some cleric apprentices had also left the hall to seek inspiration elsewhere, so he didn’t catch anyone’s attention by leaving the room.
But, just when Zhao Xu reached the top of the stairs next to the door, he was surprised to see that the Wizard Association’s contact officer within the church, Reyan, was walking towards him.
“Young man, I see you’ve got that parchment paper. I got someone to stuff it in for you. I’ve brought a few things here for you, they’ll help you to obtain those domains more easily, and for all you know, you might get it by tomorrow.”
Reyan noticed that there were a lot of people along the corridor, so he started using a telepathic spell to talk to Zhao Xu and waved the little bag he had in his hands.
“No need,” Zhao Xu said to him very simply.
“What?”
“I just obtained the granted powers of all three domains.”
“…”
