Chapter 30

A month later, Jian Lu and the others returned to the Temple of Light in Kabe City in the Western Continent.

Chris came back one step ahead of them, and since he got the news, he rushed back from the Wenya Forest as fast as he could, and he only returned to the Temple of Light a few days earlier than Jian Lu and them. Knowing that the Holy Son had returned, he followed the others in the temple out to greet him, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Jian Lu was intact.

"Sorry to worry you." Jian Lu's voice was gentle.

Chris showed a rare smile, "Your Excellency is fine." Then his gaze fell on Hines, and he felt the fluctuations in Hines's body, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

After Jian Lu was welcomed into the Temple of Light, he saw the holy maiden Amelia and the maid Vena standing in the cloister.

I haven't seen it for more than a year, the girl has become more beautiful, if Jian Lu is a collection of all the male handsome, then Amelia is a collection of all the beauty of all the women of the human race, the two stand together, the appearance is already higher than all the humans, even compared to the elves who are famous for their beauty.

Jian Lu is an orphan, and her parents' family is no longer verifiable, but Amelia does have elven blood in her, and her great-grandmother is an elf.

Amelia saw Jian Lu standing there well, her eyes were slightly red, and she almost shed tears.

Jian Lu didn't expect that the saintess, who had always been as strict and cold as a big sister, would almost cry because of her disappearance, and suddenly she was a little in a hurry, and finally touched the girl's head, and said in a soft voice: "Aren't I coming back?" ”

Seeing that he was so at a loss, Amelia was finally amused, gave him a hug, and said, "Welcome back, Jane!" Thank you, Goddess of Light, for keeping you safe. ”

Then she looked at Hines with a somewhat gloomy expression, and said with a smile, "Welcome back, Hines." ”

Hines's expression was slightly slow, but he was still a little depressed, staring at her hand holding Jian Lu's arm, his gaze was a little ferocious.

Amelia couldn't help laughing, she had known that Jian Lu had taken Hines as her younger brother over the years, although the two were not much different in age, but the relationship was similar to that of brothers, seeing Hines like this, she also thought it was a child's exclusive desire, and she didn't want to be crooked.

Vena also gave Jane Lu and Hines a hug, respectively.

While they were gathering, an attendant came and conveyed the Pope's intention to invite the Son to the main hall.

Jian Lu knew that the matter of him and Hines falling into that gray mist space had been transmitted back to the Temple of Light, so there was nothing strange about the Pope's summons, and he smiled and said to Amelia and the others: "You guys sit here for a while, and I'll come when I go." ”

The Pope is a handsome man with blonde hair - old man = mouth = !

In Jian Lu's memory, he was taken to the Temple of Light at the age of five, and at that time it was still the talent that the Pope gave him, and the Pope was already like this at that time, he looked like a handsome young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a pair of golden eyes of the same color as his hair, and when he smiled, he was like a holy father with his own halo, and he was almost blind.

After all these years, the Pope still maintained his youthful appearance, and there was not even a trace of wrinkles at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and later Jian Lu still inadvertently learned from Creder that the Pope was older than him, the archmage.

The higher the magic level of a mage, the longer the lifespan and even the delay in aging. But it is only to delay aging, and it cannot be a pillar of youth, unless you enter the divine plane after becoming a god. Obviously, the Pope is not yet a Dharma Saint, and he is still far from the road to becoming a god, and even the Olawen Continent has not been a Dharma Saint for more than 5,000 years, so how does the Pope maintain his youth?

Jian Lu had deep doubts, but he saluted the Pope with a serious face.

"My child, thank you for your hard work." The Pope stood in front of the Statue of Light, holding a gold-colored scepter, and smiled lovingly at Jian Lu.

For the Pope holding the young man's face with such a loving look, Jian Lu could only paralyze his face to restrain the twitching feeling in his heart, and then sat down on a chair next to him at his motion.

After Jian Lu sat down, the attendant of his own Temple of Light presented delicious refreshments, he took a sip of tea, and found that it was a top-grade black tea with spices, and immediately lost his appetite.

"What, don't like Amit tea?" The Pope asked gently.

Jian Lu slumped his face and said honestly: "It's pretty good, it would be better if there were no spices in it." ”

The Pope laughed, and asked Jian Lu to make a cup of unflavored black tea again.

Spices are extravagant things made by the aristocracy, representing their taste and aesthetics, and they like to add to food and drink, indicating that only the nobility can afford to drink, which is different from those fart people. Jian Lu had to get dizzy from the spices in the tea every time, and he really couldn't understand the aesthetics of those nobles.

After changing the tea without adding anything, Jian Lu felt much more comfortable, and then began to cheer up to face the Pope.

The Pope called him over, in addition to caring about the Holy Son's experience, he really also cared about the gray mist alien space, and when the Olawen Continent discovered the alien space, it would always attract the attention of all forces, and if there were a large number of treasures in the alien space found, it would be even better. It's a pity that Jian Lu didn't have that luck, and found a gray space with no treasures except for danger, and there was nothing to use.

Jian Lu replied very carefully and honestly, and did not dare to tell a lie in front of the Pope, because the Pope had an alchemical item that screened lies, which was even more terrifying than the lie detector he had seen in his previous life, so no one would want to lie in front of the Pope. Although he can't lie, he can blur the topic or avoid it.

When the conversation was over, the Pope smiled kindly again and said to Jian Lu: "I remember, in a few months, you will be fifteen years old, and you should go to school." ”

Jian Lu: "......" almost forgot that most of the magicians in this world can enter specialized schools to systematically learn magic.

As the Holy Son of the Temple of Light, he has been taught by a special magician since he was a child, and he has a rich collection of books for him to read, so it doesn't matter if he goes to school or not. However, the academy is a place where you can cultivate your own power and pull talents, and even nobles will not give up this rare opportunity.

So, when the Pope said this, he was actually just informing him that after this year, he would be going to school.

As soon as Jian Lu walked out of the Pope's temple, he was invited to the chamber of the Council of Elders, and continued to face another concerned interrogation.

With a slumped face, he looked at the group of elders with a cold and noble face, and answered their questions in an orderly manner, and the questions were not surprisingly similar to the Pope's. It can be seen that the people of the Elder Group are very disappointed with his answer, and they are all the same as Mentor Cred, thinking that his luck is really not good, and it is rare to encounter a spatial rift, but they did not expect to enter a dangerous alien space where there is nothing, and they are blind to this opportunity.

Although there was no benefit in the different space, Jian Lu still gave them the location of the space passage in the different space in detail, and let them deal with it. Although it is not known whether the spatial passage was automatically closed or changed direction, according to the past situation, perhaps the changed spatial passage will appear not far away, and these are all uncertain, and it is up to people to explore and discover.

After dealing with the Pope and the Elders, it had been half a day, and when Jian Lu returned to his dormitory, he found that Amelia and the others were still there, and they were sitting in the sunny courtyard drinking tea, although they did not communicate with each other, the atmosphere was still good.

Jian Lu also added them, and then began to deal with Amelia's concerned questions, but it was all Hines who said, and Jian Lu occasionally interjected.

Hines looked very happy, and he thought to himself: Jane only needs to talk to him, and the others don't have to pay attention to it, just leave it to him to deal with it, and it is better to continue to maintain that cold and noble appearance.

As a result, Jian Lu was unconsciously and purposefully accustomed to a more talkative character by Hines.

When the topic came to an end, Jian Lu suddenly asked, "Amelia, what's going on with your marriage to the second prince of the empire?" ”

Amelia looked at him, her eyes were green, beautiful, like emeralds. She looked calm and said coldly: "This is what the Pope and the elders agreed, I have no opinion." ”

Jian Lu was stunned for a moment, and then was silent in his heart.

Perhaps Amelia's attitude is correct, and what the Temple of Light needs is this kind of obedient puppet who can give everything he has, not someone who is self-aware and knows how to resist. As a puppet of the temple, you need to be more sacrificial.

So Amelia is very indifferent to her marriage and thinks that marrying anyone is the same.

After saying that, Jian Lu told them what he had just learned from the Pope, "It's time for us to go to school." ”

Amelia was stunned, she was sixteen years old this year, but she hadn't thought about the school before, the Temple of Light had given them a complete education and a rich collection of books, for them, it didn't matter if they went to school or not.

Magicians have a very long lifespan, and their magic power is generally more stable after the age of ten, so the school recruits magicians from the age of ten to twenty-five, and there are even many auditors who are over thirty years old, after all, magic is an esoteric science, and many magicians who do not have a special tutor and systematic learning may spend ten years only wandering in the apprenticeship magician, let alone becoming a formal magician.

"Do you have to go?" Amelia frowned.

"Actually, it's not bad to go to school." Jian Lu said, "In a different environment, there are more magicians who can communicate and discuss, which is beneficial to improving oneself." ”

Amelia had to admit that Jian Lu was right, so she had no objection to it.

Hines also said: "I am Your Excellency's guardian knight, can I go to the academy with you?" ”

Jian Lu looked at him, the knights of the Temple of Light rarely went to school, they all received a unified education in the Temple of Light, and it was a waste of time for them to go to school. And Hines is only twelve years old, isn't it a little early? Fighting warriors and magicians are different, the school has a stricter age for recruiting fighting warriors, which is probably the armed forces in the Olawen continent, the ratio of fighting warriors to magicians has always been five to one, and the base number of fighting warriors is too large compared to Ma mages, and the recruitment conditions are naturally stricter.

"Although Hines is a little younger, if you can pass the Guò school test, you should be able to get in." Chris replied that he knew more about it than anyone else.

Hines's eyes lit up.

After Amelia and the others went back, Hines also followed Jian Lu back to his bedroom, and after washing himself, he lay down directly on Jian Lu's bed.

Jian Lu: "......"

Looking at this natural bear child, Jian Lu felt that something seemed wrong.
