Chapter 50: The Dean's Great Crutch

The Temple of Light is the largest structure of the Thorn Flower, and it is also an envoy power organization independent of the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion.

In other words, the Temple of Light, like the Thorn Flower Academy of Magic, is a great institutional force that is directly under the direct jurisdiction of His Majesty the King, and the magistrates have no right to do so.

However, due to the transcendent status of the Temple of Light and the Thorn Flower Magic Academy itself, His Majesty the King sometimes has no way to restrain these two forces, and can only send a duke with enough strength and prestige to suppress Thorn Flower City so that the city will not be in chaos.

Because the two are not looking at each other, one advocates theology and the other advocates magical education.

Over the years, the Temple of Light and the Thorn Flower Magic Academy have been fighting and friction with each other, but the two sides have been suppressing each other, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, and they will not expand the friction and contradictions.

This is not because both sides are good, but because neither side can be absolutely sure that the other can be suppressed.

Until recently.

There are rumors in the city that the Temple of Light has caught the personnel in the magic academy and summoned the undead in an attempt to envelop the continent of Esker.

Rejecting the existence of dark magic and undead creatures is a long-standing consensus between the two major forces.

The Thorn Flower Academy has long sided with the Temple of Light on this point, and this is one of the contents of negotiations left over from the battle between the two in a much longer historical period.

In other words, if there are really people related to the undead in the Thorn Flower Magic Academy, the Temple of Light has the right to arrest and judge according to the agreement.

Even if this is something that the Thorn Flower Magic Academy agrees to, if there are really personnel from the Magic Academy who are arrested by the Temple of Light, the Academy of Magic will definitely feel that it can't hold its face.

Originally, the two families were fighting with each other, the temple wanted believers, and the magic academy wanted apprentices.

If the person who was judged by the temple this time, how would the magic academy recruit people in the future? Everyone doesn't think that the temple is a little more awesome, so it's better to just go and learn the divine arts.

Although some people in the main city predicted that the Academy of Magic would refuse the Temple of Light to capture the members of the Academy, the actual outcome was beyond everyone's expectations.

The Academy of Magic did not resist, and even took the initiative to cooperate with the arrest of the temple, and handed over the person himself to let the temple judge.

"Could it be that the Academy of Magic has given up resistance? Don't they want to fight the temple? ”

"I have heard for a long time that His Majesty the King had a serious illness a few years ago and was cured by the Lord of the Temple of Light, and His Majesty has been relying on the Temple of Light since then."

"I see, the Academy of Magic should have also learned of this news, and the Temple of Light, with the full support of the king, is not to provoke."

"It seems that in the future, the name of the first school in the Eske Continent will be taken away by the Temple of Light."

Along the way, there were people who met each other, adventurers, magicians, and worshippers of the temple.

Whoever is judged, this matter will be a blow to the Academy of Magic, a blow to reputation and prestige, and it will also make more people feel that the Academy of Magic is far inferior to the Temple of Light.

In front of the temple hall.

A group of priests and knights stood with solemn faces, surrounding the entire hall and preventing people from approaching.

From a distance, everyone could only see a young girl in a white magician's robe, kneeling in the middle of the hall.

She hung her head and was silent, her shoulders occasionally swaying, as if sobbing.

A knight with a knight's sword stood behind the girl, he was wearing armor, the sword was clenched in his hand, and the side of the sword shimmered in the sunlight, stabbing the eyes painfully.

"Is this posture going to kill her? Poor child, she is still so young. ”

"Don't talk nonsense! It's not a slash, it's a purification! All evil will be purified by the light! ”

A light believer glared at the old woman who took pity on the girl: "If you talk nonsense again, I will go to the temple to report you!" ”

"I ......"

The old woman opened her mouth, dared to be angry, did not speak, bowed her head and did not speak.

"I know who this girl is, she's Arya, a summoning magician who is about to graduate from the Academy of Magic."

"I've heard that it seems that she cast a summoning spell in the northern forest, and then summoned an undead creature, so she was captured and judged."

"Your information is not accurate, I know the deeper reason, my brother has been making bread in the temple, and he heard that it was Arya who opened the plane passage when he summoned the undead, and released a large number of undead."

"Really? That's not a small crime! ”

"Yes, not long ago, an archbishop led a knight legion to encircle and suppress this group of undead. I guess this group of undead will be wiped out soon. ”

"Then she really deserves to die, the undead are all evil beings and can't be released."

Some people agree, and some people oppose it, but they don't dare to say it openly.

The content of the discussion is limited to the matter itself, and they dare not touch on the issue of position.

The momentum of the temple is in full swing, don't you see that even the magic academy is compromised now? But anyone with a little brain will not touch the mold at this time.

Just pity the little girl Alya.

She is at the best of her age, with an excellent magical background and potential, and if nothing else, she should graduate and become a magician that everyone admires.

However, the unexpected has already happened.

Life is always like this, some accidents can only make you annoyed, but some accidents can completely change your destiny.

On the steps of the temple hall, there stood several old men in robes.

There were a few temple bishops in big red robes, as well as teachers from the Academy of Magic, who surrounded the two people in the front.

One is the Lord of the Temple of Light, and the other is the Dean of the Thorn Flower Magic Academy.

"Dean, are you really not against it?"

The hall master glanced up at the sun, then turned his head to look at the dean, and seemed to smile: "I heard that Arya is a student of Teacher Murphy, and Teacher Murphy should be a child of your family, right?" ”

"Against what?"

With his eyes closed and his white beard mopping the floor, he held a large black crooked cane, and said lazily: "Since you have made a mistake, you must be punished, and no one is an exception." ”

"It's you, look at the sun less, and be careful that your eyes become blind."

The dean's sarcasm made the hall master laugh, he raised his hand and pointed to the sun, and said proudly: "This is my lord's creation, and as a servant of the lord, I naturally want to take a closer look." ”

"It's just that I think Your Excellency, as a magician, don't you think you're very different?"

The hall master pointed to the dean's crutch, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile: "I'm curious, is it really a magic wand?" Or are you too old to cast a spell to make your wand so big? ”

"A big wand, it can cast spells and hit people."

The dean smiled: "Do you want to try?" ”

The hall master didn't speak, but just waved his hand: "Start purifying the villains!" ”

No matter how much you sarcastically mock me, it's useless, I take your child's school life, I want her to die, she has to die.

The dean was silent, he opened his eyes and looked at Arya kneeling in the center of the hall with a blank expression.

She was so embarrassed, ragged, and covered in blood.

Only God knows how much she has suffered these days, and the dean can't see her eyes, but he can feel that the pupils covered by her long hair should be full of pain, grievance, and resentment.

"She maybe, too, hated why the academy wouldn't help her."

The dean sighed a little in his heart, and he saw that the knight had already lifted his knight's sword.

The hall master has ordered that the purification ceremony is about to begin.

"Alas, what a poor little girl."

"Don't look, don't look, close your eyes."

"Great Lord, is about to cleanse the evil being!"

There was some commotion in the crowd, they looked at the knight's greatsword held high, and most of them did not dare to look directly at the scene of killing.

This is the temple's deterrence, and it is also a means for the temple to proclaim its majesty, although it is ignorant and backward.

"To kill is to kill, why do you say purification, does God also need to wear a dress to hide his ugliness!"

In the crowd, there was a sudden shout of sharp sarcasm.

The hall master frowned, and a cardinal beside him shouted angrily: "Who is making trouble, who is blasphemy!" ”

"It's me, the Great Law of the Sorrowful Wind!"

A man in a black robe walked out of the crowd with his head held high, he was wearing a mask, and no one could see his appearance.

"It's a villain! It's a tragic villain! ”

"Templar, catch him!"

The crowd was agitated, and the Templars rushed forward to catch the wanted criminal of the Temple of Light.

But they were still a step slower.

"Winds of Darkness!"

In the crowd, there was a sound of softly chanting spells, and a thick black mist with a foul smell quickly spread, filling the entire temple hall at an extremely fast speed.

"It's dark magic, and he has accomplices!"

The hall master's expression was stunned, he took his scepter and stomped it.

"Boom."

With the dull sound of the scepter hitting the ground, a ripple visible to the naked eye spread out of the air.

A breath containing divine power quickly blew away the black mist.

When the Templars saw the scene after the black fog cleared, they couldn't help but be shocked.

The hall master's expression also became extremely ugly.

Arya is gone.

The Sorrowful Wind Mage has also disappeared.

They rescued the people in front of countless members of the Temple of Light.

"You did it!"

The hall master turned his head and stared at the dean.

"Don't talk nonsense."

The dean waved his hand again and again, looking innocent: "I have always stood with you, and I don't even have a chance to cast spells, how can I save people." ”

"Mage Grief is your student!"

"Yes, but he's also a traitor to the Academy of Magic, and a wanted criminal!"

The dean gritted his teeth and was filled with anger: "He killed so many students of the Academy of Magic, I can't wait to catch him and kill him with my own hands!" I regret teaching him so much magic in the first place! How did I know that he secretly learned dark magic behind my back! ”

"My poor Arya."

Tears slipped from the corners of the dean's eyes: "She was captured by the tragic wind, and she will definitely suffer even more miserable torture." ”

"It's really not you?"

The hall master was a little suspicious, but there was really no evidence, after all, the evidence of the Sad Wind killing the students of the Magic Academy was conclusive, and he had long been the common enemy of the two major forces.

"By the way, where's your wand?"

The hall master noticed that something was wrong, the dean's hand was empty, and the big cane was missing.

"Ah, I've put it away, I don't think I should be able to hold it every day, so that some people will think I'm too old to cast spells."

"Hmph."

The hall master's face sank, and then he turned to the bishops around him and ordered: "Go and inform the city lord and block the main city!" Open the forbidden magic array in the city! Strictly check all outsiders! ”

"Check it out! You go for me, I'm going to catch Grief and Arya! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The cardinals nodded, their expressions very serious.

No one can live unharmed after provoking the Temple of Light in public.

Especially this significant trial ceremony, which was supposed to severely damage the Academy of Magic, was robbed by the people of the Academy of Magic.

Although Grief is a wanted criminal, he is still from the Academy of Magic, which is undeniable.

"I'll keep an eye on you."

The hall master watched the cardinals leave with the knights, and he turned to look at the dean, meaningfully: "More than once, I will always keep an eye on you." ”

"No, you better look at the sun more."

The dean turned around with a smile: "Let's go, let's go, teachers, let's go back." ”

Perhaps realizing that he shouldn't laugh, the dean lowered his face again and sighed with tears in his eyes: "My poor Arya, your fate is so miserable......"
