Raphael took off the hood he was wearing on his head, revealing his face, a head of silver-white thick hair casually draped over his shoulders, but not messy, although his face was covered with traces of time, but he could vaguely see the handsome appearance of the old man in his youth.

But the most peculiar thing is his eyes, the blue eyes are like brilliant gems, they look bright, and the clear eyes are not sharp at all, but they seem to have already seen everything in the world.
If some people's eyes are as sharp as a sword, they can pierce people's hearts and see through people's souls, but Raphael's eyes do not have this piercing process, and your soul has long been invisible in his eyes.
Raphael took the wine glass and drank half of it in one gulp, which made Giles look a little embarrassed, you know, this is a large glass of high-strength spirits...
After half a glass of spirits, Raphael's face did not change in the slightest, and his eyes were still clear, as if he had taken a sip of tea, only the room diffused with the aroma of strong wine, proving that this was indeed a glass of spirits.
"Whew... Tastes good. Raphael's voice, though old, did not have a sense of vicissitudes.
"These wines were purchased in the previous town, so you should use them first, teacher." Hearing the compliment of his most respected teacher, Giles laughed: "If I had known that the teacher would find me on the way, and come to Rosall City with me, I would have prepared some more good wine." ”
"Of all the students I've taught, you're the best at talking, hehe.."
Raphael smiled gently, drank the rest of the wine from the glass, then put down the glass, and stood up, although he was an old man, his waist did appear straight, and there was no rickety in the slightest, he strolled to the window, pushed it open with both hands, and suddenly a fresh breeze blew into the window with a unique fragrance.
Located on the top floor of the inn, this house has an excellent view of the twilight forest in the direction of the window.
Giles put away the cup and asked aloud, "I wonder what happened to the teacher when he came to Rosall City this time?" Students are willing to do it for you! ”
Raphael looked at the scenery outside the window and shook his head: "I don't have anything special to do, I came to Rosall City for the same reason as you." ”
"Is it because of the Demon Banquet's attack on Rosall City a few days ago?" Giles was surprised: "But that group of demon banquets is extremely weak, and the damage caused is not too big, why would such a trivial matter disturb you?" ”
Raphael shook his head, there seemed to be some sadness between his eyebrows, and he said slowly: "Things are not as simple as you imagined, we have received some news, the recent movement of the Demon Banquet is a bit extraordinary, it seems that a major event is being planned, the Holy See has sent additional personnel in several cities near the territory of the Demon Banquet, but what I didn't expect was that the initial change actually happened in Rosall City, so they asked me to come and take a look." ”
"Then why are you the one who came to Rosal?" Giles was still a little puzzled: "You are the white-clothed pope of the temple, and it stands to reason that the two cardinal popes who are here should be the ruling temple." ”
Raphael held his hand on the windowsill, looked at the scenery in the twilight forest, and smiled casually: "I happened to be traveling around again, so I was here." ”
Giles understood, he knew what his teacher was talking about traveling, and seeing that the wrinkles on his teacher's face had become much easier than the last time they met, Giles felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Haven't you found the right person yet?"
Hearing this, Raphael sighed, and the old man's expression was a little lonely: "No..."
Looking at this aging back, Giles couldn't help but persuade: "Your conditions are too harsh, can't you relax a little?" ”
"It's not up to me to decide," Raphael smiled, "I know it's difficult, I've traveled all over the Continent of the Gods over the years, and I still haven't been able to find a qualified candidate." ”
Giles sighed, "How many years have you not been back to the Holy See since you went out this time?" ”
"It's been almost two years," said Raphael, recalling slightly, "and we old fellows have nothing to do in the Holy See, and now Hoover can be on his own." ”
"yes, so Hoover now..."
Before Giles could finish his sentence, Raphael suddenly reached out a hand to stop him.
"Don't talk yet."
At this time, Raphael was facing out the window, not saying a word, his eyes narrowed slightly, like a goshawk staring at a distant place in the twilight forest.
Giles was surprised to see his teacher's strange behavior, and curiously followed Raphael's gaze in the direction of the twilight forest outside the window.
Suddenly, a huge, thick pillar of light rose from the depths of the forest!
The pillar of light connects the heavens and the earth, and the light is extremely dazzling! In an instant, it took away all the colors of the world and rendered everything around it into a dazzling white!
After a few seconds, the pillar of light vanished, and the world returned to its original appearance.
After the vision, a series of noises and exclamations sounded outside the window, and the whole city of Rosall became noisy.
"That! .... What is that? Giles looked out the window in a daze and asked with a shocked expression.
Raphael didn't answer him, took out a bottle of wine from his spatial ring, opened the cap, and took a sip, but his eyes never took off the place where the pillar of light started.
Putting away the bottle, Raphael commanded, "Wait for me here." ”
Then the figure flashed and disappeared into the room.
Giles was the only one left in the room, and the aroma of wine was still lingering in the room...
-----------------
Still dressed in his plain white robes and holding the immaculate white staff in his hand, Raphael walked into the depths of the twilight forest.
He doesn't walk fast, but he is extremely fast!
The distance of a few hundred meters seemed to automatically shrink to the size of a step under his feet!
The extremely fast speed did not bring any wind, not even a sound, those low-level demonic beasts frolicking in the deep forest, only felt as if something had flashed, and then continued to sit and do what they had to do, the branches and leaves of the trees were still gently swaying with the wind.
The figure stopped, Raphael holding the white staff, standing in an ordinary place in the deep forest, but he had already noticed that the road ahead was full of all kinds of magic arrays.
"Oh? In front is the territory of the Hitai? ”
Then he took a step forward, and continued to walk in the direction of the Xitai territory without any worries.
