Chapter 110: The Pope
As soon as Bill finished speaking, the contestants from the three houses left their positions one after another and headed for the medical department where Pastor Melina lived. Meanwhile, a teacher ran to the judges' bench and whispered something in Bill's ear.
After the teacher left, Bill couldn't help but fall into deep thought, he had just received the news that the Pope of the Holy See of Light had actually arrived at Osford, and had already arrived at the venue. Although he didn't know what the pope, who had been blessed with Talis, was doing here, he didn't really care.
However, although the Pope seems to be the head of a civil organization, no one can ignore the faith and power of the Holy See in the world, and the center of the Holy See, the Pope, is like the emperors of the Seven Great Empires. However, the successive popes had no ambition to interfere in the affairs of the court, and only had a quiet corner in Tallis, the headquarters of the Holy See of Light. As a symbol of light, Talis attracted many light believers to live in Talis, and as time went by, the circle of residents around Talis became larger and larger, and eventually formed a metropolis no less than the capital of any empire, and over time Talis also had another title. Privately, they called it "Talis, the "Holy Kingdom".
Just when everyone was waiting for the upcoming competition, Dean Bill of the judges' seat suddenly left the table, but he came back after a while, and he was not alone. He was accompanied by an old man with a gray beard, wearing a golden crown on his head, with a kind smile on his face all the time, and his eyes smiling like two crescent moons. If it weren't for the old man's gorgeous yellow and white robe, the old man would look like a leisurely old man on weekdays.
The old man sat between Bill and Clerance, the dean of Tlaire, and the students in the audience also saw this old man, and the sharp-eyed people had already recognized this as the Pope of the current Holy See of Light, and no one knew why he was here, but it was none of their business, maybe they were also here in the name of the Triwizard Tournament. The people in the audience were arguing because they saw the Pope coming.
"Quiet, please be quiet." Bill said with a louder amplification magic, making the voice of the audience much quieter, "I think you know who this person next to me is, His Holiness the Pope of the Holy See of Light has come to this arena today, he will be the fourth judge of the Triwizard Tournament, I believe that with his company, it will be a triwizard tournament that everyone will remember." But if anyone wants to sign an autograph, please wait until the end of the game, otherwise we'll be bothered. ”
Bill's joke made everyone smile slightly, and the Pope's smile made people feel very kind, but he didn't say anything, because it was a whim today, and Bill made it really difficult for him to be the fourth judge.
After Bill finished speaking, he only followed the three deans around him to exchange a few polite words, but it was not difficult to see that he had a good relationship with Bill.
"I didn't expect you to have time to come here, Claire, you wouldn't have any purpose, would you?" Bill squinted at the Pope, looking like you had impure motives.
Not caring about Bill's tricks, Pope Claire said to Bill with a smile on her face: "I really guessed it, I saw the promotion of Osford Academy in the Triwizard Tournament, and one of them aroused my curiosity." ”
"Who is it?" Bill put away his funny expression and said seriously. But if he's not mistaken, Bill should only have one person to meet, because only one of the Academy's students was a priest this time.
"Alicia."
When Bill heard this, it was true, Ellie had an unparalleled talent for healing magic, but it was still a little surprising for him to be able to attract the attention of the Pope, because even if Ellie's healing magic was very good, she should not be invited by the Pope to join the Holy See in person, and this courtesy was not even available to the Emperor. And you must know that basically all pastors will be recruited by the Holy See of Light after graduation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Priest Department of Osford is the pastoral training center of the Holy See of Light. However, if Claire wants to recruit Ellie into the Holy See of Light, it may be difficult.
Ellie is a friend brought by the dragon king Elmos, and also lives in Dragon Valley, but the dragon clan has been at odds with the Holy See of Light hundreds of years ago, and Claire may run into a wall this time.
"Come to think of it, Ellie has a good talent for healing magic, but it might be a little troublesome if you want to recruit Ellie into the Holy See, she is the one brought by the Dragon King." After thinking about it, Bill still told Claire about Ellie's origin, although he really wanted to see the Pope's tangled appearance, but he also knew about the affairs of the Holy See and the Dragons, and in order to avoid the increase in conflicts between the two parties, he still said it.
"Really? Words brought by the dragon king Elmos...... We do have some disputes with the dragon princess. "The Pope looked surprised, he came here because of interest, he accidentally saw the portrait of Alicia, so he came here directly, but he never thought that such a girl would be related to the dragon clan." That's a bit of a problem......"
Claire sighed and stopped, which made Bill wonder, and seeing Claire's thoughtfulness, he didn't talk about it again.
……
The three teams of warriors set off from the arena and arrived at the medical department at Osford, where Melina had already prepared all the items waiting for them. The people of Tellel and Magic Lanka have been here before, and they won't be strangers. Edwell knew about it because of Ellie. And Treriel is because of Algert, who is restless, he is often beaten by Gloria's eldest sister's fat head, and every time he heals the blue nose and swollen face from here, although he has quite an objection to the eldest sister's head every time he slaps his face, but he has become familiar with Melina after coming and going.
On the table in front of Melina were three boxes, each with the names of the three academies. When the nine people came to her, she spoke: "I think you have heard the rules of the competition, so please put your rings in this box according to the name of the academy." ”
As soon as Melina finished speaking, everyone did not hesitate to take off their rings and put them in the box, which was sealed by Melina.
"I will send your rings to the Church of Light in Osford to seal them up, and I will return them to you after the game, so please rest assured that no one will be able to touch them."
Melina then took out a few more rings, the metal rings were unadorned, only the shiny surface reflected the faces of the people. If it weren't for the thickness of a finger, no one would have thought that it would be a ring, perhaps as a part cut from a steel pipe. Its modest appearance makes it look like a bland steel ring, and it doesn't look as good as the ones in department stores, you must know that you can buy more than 30 of these rings for a silver coin in a department store, and there are beautiful patterns on them.
"These are spatial rings for you, and inside each ring is a compass magic guide, and its pointer will point to the location of the golden egg. You can enter Tamir Forest from two places, the first from behind Osford and the other from the mercenary branch at the end of Riley Street. Prior to this, the Academy had prepared a gold coin for each of your teams, which you could only use to buy some of the necessary items to enter the forest. I think you've all read the rules of the tournament in the Triwizard Tournament contract, but I still want to remind you that you can't ask for help from others during the tournament, and you can't do anything illegal, otherwise you will be disqualified from the tournament. ”
"Well, if you're ready, go ahead, and good luck." After saying everything she wanted to say, Melina gave the order to evict the guest.
Everyone understood, and their respective captains led the team away, and Nina walked out of the courtyard of the medical department with Randall and Ellie. Ellie winked playfully at Melina as she left. Melina wrinkled her nose when she saw this, and turned her head to see that Cialis had opened a crack in the door to reveal her head, and she was still wearing pajamas when she woke up, and one hand was stretched out and she was making a fist at Ellie to make cheering movements. However, after being discovered by Melina, she obediently shrank her head and closed the door.
