Chapter 373: Is it true that all you need to do is smile?
"Why do you want to inform me of this kind of thing?"
Sivi returned the rubbings of the map to the white-robed archbishop, and asked Nicholas in confusion.
"For we hope that Your Excellency the Chosen One will be able to travel with the special priests of our Church to Middle-earth to investigate what is happening in that place that has been cut off from us for hundreds of years."
Although Nicholas's words sounded as if he was asking for Sivi's opinion, he exuded a sense of majesty that could not be denied.
"I'm sorry, my college is still under construction, and I haven't had anything to do in the short term, but it's impossible to leave the school for a long time in the near future."
However, Sivi's nerves have also been honed in various dungeons on the line of life and death, even the eldest princess of the night nobles or the strongest magician of the human race will not be timid, let alone the Pope, who is even less powerful than them?
So he didn't hesitate to say no.
"Although the Adric Academy is developing rapidly, in fact, because of the current flood of magic academies, no matter how fertile the soil is, it is impossible to supply nutrients for plant growth uncontrollably, and under the selection of other academies, it has become as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack to find students with magical qualifications, and your academy has also entered a bottleneck period."
Nicholas didn't directly use his status as the pope of the Pure White Church to oppress people, but opened his mouth to persuade Sivi: "Instead of struggling between the various large academies, wouldn't it be better to go to Middle-earth to find more people with magical qualifications?" ”
"There is no need for His Holiness the Pope to worry about me, I still have a way to find someone who can become a student in the crowd."
For example, there are also open-hanging, open-hanging, and the like......
Although he knew that the other party didn't understand what it meant. But Sivi swallowed the second half of the sentence into his stomach.
And through what the other party said, Sivi finally knew why the Pure White Church was so enthusiastic about exploring the situation in Middle-earth.
As the largest religious group in the Eastern Plains, the Pure White Church controls almost the entire human faith.
But because of the checks and balances of the King's Council and the Mage's Association, he can't reach the level of divine authority such as the divine authority of kings.
And when his family reaches this level, it means that they have developed to the extreme of this land - you can't go and pull orcs or elves over to listen to their own teachings or something, can you?
Coupled with the recent prosperity of the magic academy, the number of mages is also gradually rising, and ninety percent of the magicians have no faith, at most they just talk about the goddess of magic, the god of magic.
So the recent pure white church has begun to go from prosperity to decline, and has begun to go downhill.
At this time, rumors came from the Mage Guild that there was a discovery of human civilization in Middle-earth. Of course, the pure white church will pounce on it like a hungry dog that smells meat......
As for pulling himself up for Mao, Xiwei was completely confused.
"Besides, the war is about to begin. Julianne is also half of my hometown. Of course, I can't just leave at this time. ”
Because the previous sentence was too rude, Sivi added another sentence later.
"Does Lord Adric think that this war cannot be won without you?"
At this moment, a cardinal standing on the right side of the prayer table, with a stinky face all the time, spoke up.
He said aggressively, "Even if you don't mention the one in Hohenhagrid who is closest to the legendary archmage. Our pure white church alone has a significant number of new crusades. The Knights Templar and the Knights of Divine Grace are even more courageous. Moreover, there are hundreds of thousands of human main legions on the side of the King's Council. There are hundreds of elite troops, don't you think we can't win against those low-level creatures in the Northland without you? ”
Sivi was stunned by the other party.
Let's say it's won. If you shirk it on your side, it really doesn't hold; said that they couldn't win, and they slapped each other in the face again, saying that their people were incompetent...... No matter how you answer, it's not good.
Just as Sivi was about to turn around and divert the conversation elsewhere, a crisp voice suddenly rang out at the door.
"Of course you can't win."
All eyes of everyone in the cathedral, including Sivi, were suddenly focused on the door.
The visitor was a young girl.
She was about twenty years old, and wore a white dress with a simple but actually cumbersome and luxurious mass scarf, fluffy skirt with tassels, and long silver hair tied into a noble bun, fastened with a cross-shaped hairpin. The whole looks like a noble girl who is going to a dinner party or something, but she has a little more pure and holy temperament than those young ladies.
For some reason, Xiwei always felt that the other party's unpowdered face was a little familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember where he had seen her.
Behind the girl, there was Frey with a wry smile. It seemed that Her Excellency the Holy Silver Sword Ji wanted to persuade or block the girl to come in, but in the end, he failed.
"Lord Elilia, please don't talk nonsense, this is not a place for you to play casually." The cardinal's face turned the color of pig liver when the girl retorted, and he said in a low voice as if he was forcibly holding back his anger, and the bruised tendons on his forehead made Sivi worry if he would go straight to it because of high blood pressure.
Wait a minute...... Elilia?
“!”
Sivi looked at the slightly rude girl in surprise, her mouth open enough to stuff an egg in.
When he first saw the saint in the crypt, he had already taken the form of a child, and then Eliria's appearance became smaller and smaller due to the constant blood loss, and if there were not only a few seals, Sivi suspected that she would have shrunk until she became a baby......
I didn't expect the other party's original appearance to be like this. And just from the outside, the other party seems to be a little better than him.
Is this guy really that childish saint-sama?
"Oh? I'm just conveying the meaning of the Light. If you think your prophecy is more accurate than mine, then I don't mind giving you the position of saint. ”
Elilia was not polite at all, and directly retorted to the cardinal.
After saying that, she didn't care about the other party who was trembling with anger, turned around, and seemed to be planning to leave here.
It was only after walking a few steps that she turned around as if she remembered something: "Your Excellency Edric, I haven't officially thanked you for the incident last time, please come with me to the White Orchid Court." ”
After saying that, she didn't look at the expressions of other people, and walked out of the hall by herself.
Frey bowed to the Pope and the stunned bishops, and hurried after him.
"If nothing else, then I'll quit."
Xiwei came back to his senses first, and after confessing his guilt, he chased after Lu - it would be unreasonable not to take advantage of the chaos at this time!
It's just that when he left, Nicholas's meaningful eyes made him a little concerned...... (To be continued......)
