Five years later, Griffontown, St. Radiance's Cathedral.

"Your Majesty, this is a joint proposal from the Ministry of Magic and the Minister of Education for a friendship competition between the three major schools in the Empire."

The papal acolyte pulled open a scroll-shaped piece of parchment and respectfully handed it to Clement I.

Taking the parchment, Clement I saw the title, "Proposal for the Three Schools of the Holy Griffon Empire to Hold the Solar Crown Tournament".

Tournaments? Magic is not used for performance.

Thinking so to himself, Clement I picked up the parchment and took a quick look at its contents.

"The Sun Sacred Crown Tournament is a friendly competition between the three major schools of the Holy Griffin Empire, with the purpose of improving students' actual combat ability, competitiveness, broadening their horizons, and being brave after shame...... The competition is held every four years and is held by the three major schools in turn, and is divided into two parts: the school competition and the holy crown competition. ”

The three major schools of the empire refer to the First Templar Seminary, which represents divine art in the empire, the Royal Knight Academy of the Holy Griffin Empire, which represents vindictiveness, and the Themis School of Magic, which represents magic (arcane).

Since they were put into use eight years ago, the three schools have quickly become the three most famous institutions of higher learning and the cradle of higher professionals in the Empire, openly teaching divine arts, classics, fighting spirit, martial arts, arcane arts, magic, and training priests, knights, warriors, and arcanists, which are regarded by the younger generation of the empire as the best way to get ahead, success and high society.

The strong faculty of the three major schools with at least a golden rank of professor strength is not only talked about in the empire, but also famous, attracting people from the blacksmith kingdom to come from far and wide to study in the Forest of Light, Yorkshire, and Danube.

Not only that, but the way the three schools broke the traditional apprenticeship system and taught openly caused a wave of change around the world, with countries such as the Romano Empire, the United Kingdom of Sock, and the Space Empire vying to follow suit and establish their own schools.

"The first semester is a big competition for the school, and the participants are students in grades 4 to 7 (grades 4, 5, and 6 correspond to the bronze rank, and grades 7 can sometimes correspond to silver), and they face off in pairs, using a elimination system, and each decides the ten best warriors from the seminary, the magic academy, and the knight academy. Note: The awards at this stage are determined and prepared by the three major schools. ”

"The second semester is the Holy Crown Competition, and you can invite the parents of the Warriors, officials of the Ministry of Magic, the upper echelons of the Templars, and the upper echelons of the Empire to come and watch them, show the outstanding abilities of the students, and continue to expand their influence and prestige......

The Holy Crown?

The name seemed somewhat familiar, and Clement I paused, finally remembering where he had heard it.

The Holy Crown War, which originated from the Romano Empire, the Suok Kingdom, and the Cyps Kingdom, which originated from the three successor states of the Heather Empire and competed for the Star Crown, one of the three major treasures, has a long history every ten years.

This activity was temporarily halted after the fall of Frans and the merger of the two kingdoms of Thorke and Seps, so the artifact is still worn on the head of the Romano Emperor.

"The Holy Crown Contest is divided into three events, the Ring Match, the Golden Snitch and the Battle Royale."

Somewhat interestingly, Clement I put away the carelessness at the beginning.

According to this proposal, the competition will be contested by the ninth and tenth ranked students from the three major schools (a total of six) to determine the champion, runner-up, and third runner-up, and obtain different points.

The sixth, seventh, and eighth ranked students participate in the Golden Snitch (a total of nine students), and whoever catches a special magic item called the "Golden Snitch" in the melee will win and score points.

The most critical desperate escape of the three major competitions is to place the three major schools ranked one to five, a total of fifteen students scattered into a closed, trap-ridden competition venue, free duels, allowed to "team up", "assassination", battle of wits and courage, whoever can survive to the end is the ultimate winner of the project, and win valuable points for their colleges.

At the end of the three events, the points add up, and the school with the highest score wears the Sun Crown, earns the title of champion, as well as carefully prepared rewards from the Ministry of Magic, the Empire, and the Templars, and can keep the Sun Crown at the school for four years until the next tournament is held again.

In addition, the students with the highest individual points and the best performance during the Holy Crown competition will receive additional rewards.

Clement I nodded imperceptibly, agreeing to the proposal, and then asked casually, "What are the outstanding students of the Royal Knight Academy?" ”

Counting the time, it has been eight years since the three major schools of the Griffon Empire were put into use, and the courses have all been opened to the fifth grade (bronze intermediate level) without exception, and many outstanding students have been cultivated.

Soon, the first batch of students will receive degree certificates issued by the three major schools, officially enter the society, and become the reserve talents and backbone of the empire.

Over the past eight years, countless human, material, and financial resources have finally begun to be transformed into a vital force.

The reason why Clement I didn't ask about the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry of Themis is because in recent years the School of Magic has almost been famous for a student named Chris Dean.

Chris had the strength of the bronze junior level on the day of admission, and after five years of precipitation, he reached the bronze high level in one fell swoop, and he is the leader of the fifth grade.

It is said that the professor and the principal of the Themis School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are discussing the need for an early seventh-grade class for Chris.

In addition, because Chris himself is the only student of Her Royal Highness Isabella, the Witch of the Nine Rings, Moilefe, and the white-robed wizard Frank both sincerely hope that the other party will join the Council of the Nine Rings after graduating from the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and take up important positions in the magical capital of Danube.

The Ministry of Magic, which manages the affairs of the Empire's magical world, has also fought several verbal battles with the Council of the Nine Rings to win over Chris.

- As the only city in the Holy Griffon Empire composed entirely of spellcasters, Danube, the capital of magic, has become the magical center of Yuple in recent years, with a strong academic atmosphere, and is the most desirable place for arcanists from all over the world.

Even if an alien spellcaster was required to register a magic certificate the moment they landed on the territory of the Griffon Empire, it could not stop their enthusiasm.

The Trust Chamber of Commerce, led by Minister of Commerce and Trade Martin, earns almost a quarter of the Empire's other provinces in a year in the Magic Capital, and a large handful of tinkling gold coins are swept into the treasury every day.

As for the seminary, the rector was a Holy Spirit, and the grandson of Clement I, Graves, who was sixteen years old this year, attended the seminary, and he knew all too well about the situation.

Unlike the Knight Academy and the School of Magic, the seminary is the most onerous.

In the first year, there are seven courses: Origin of Heavenly Mountain (History), Church Doctrine, Sacred Scripture Study, Prayer and Meditation, Divine Arts, Sermons and Missions, and Plane Studies.

The key to a pastor is to have a devout faith, and the shaping of faith and worldview is generally best cultivated from an early age.

The sooner you understand, learn, and master the doctrine and scriptures of the church, the farther you will be on the path of pastorhood.

Graves was the leading figure of this generation of seminaries, and was so devout to the Lord of Radiance that he was officially promoted to the rank 9 priest after completing his one-year, early military service.

At present, the college is arranging to travel to the diocese of New York in Rika, North America, to preside over a church alone and to take charge of the mission affairs of a small town.

Maybe after completing this sermon task, combined with the experience of handling teaching affairs, you can attack the position of a level 10 pastor.

"Your Majesty, there are a total of 45 fifth-year students in the Knight Academy, including 15 knights."

In the main material plane, generally speaking, those who can advance to bronze before the age of twenty can be called geniuses.

With an average age of 45 students, it is only natural that the three schools deserve special mention – another important factor in the international reputation of the three schools.

Of course, everyone knows that this is the result of a combination of several reasons.

One of the most crucial points is that talents with vindictive spirit and magical talents have been excavated by the Empire and the Templar from the Gryphon Empire, which spans two continents.

Geniuses exist in every era, and the number is almost the same, but sometimes they are buried, or have the conditions but not the qualifications to learn Dou Qi and spells—they come from poor backgrounds, have no way to test their talents, or know their talents but don't have the financial resources and enough teachers to be smart.

Once conditions permit, one by one little demons will spring up like mushrooms after a rain and emerge in the three major schools.

"But the best of all is a boy named Alam."

Aram, sixteen years old, and his father, Tom Sr., a fisherman from the eastern town of Griffon, had twice seen the sea monster Levatine.

"He is the only student of the Royal Knight Academy who activates the Glory Fighting Qi and gains the ability to cast spells."

Such students may be referred to as Templars or Templars in the Templars, depending on their profession, and outside the Templars, they may be referred to as Divine Swordsmen or Radiant Knights.

As the standard Dou Qi of the Templar, the first condition for Glory Dou Qi to be able to be learned by people is to recognize Adam, the Lord of Heavenly Mountain, or Andrew, the God of Knights, in their hearts, otherwise even if they put the complete cultivation method of Glory Dou Qi in front of them, they will not be able to practice.

And those who can activate the glory fighting spirit and obtain the ability to cast spells can be directly hired by the empire in the future without even additional political review.

"Uh-" Clement I nodded, and was about to express his opinion, when he suddenly felt a joy rise from the bottom of his heart like never before.

That's the joy of the gods!

***

The Pantheon, where there was no meeting of the gods, was as quiet as ever, with only the occasional negligible fluctuation, when the incarnation of the will left by the gods asked the Pantheon for an independent space for secret talks, and there was no better place in the world than the Pantheon's secrecy.

In a place where other gods could not perceive, two consciousnesses turned into two figures here, one was a goddess dressed in jewels and jewels embellished with various metal sequins and pearls, and the other was a devil who was extremely fat.

"Your Highness Wojin, when do you plan to move the Kingdom of God into the Nine Layers of Hell? I think the time is ripe. The devil, the Supreme of the Nine Hells, asked with a low smile, "If you are still willing to join the Hell God Department, I can also transform the seventh layer of arrogant hell into a wealth hell and crown you as the lord of the seventh layer of hell, just like Sergei." ”

"Your Majesty Mammon—"

"Listen to me, Your Highness Woking, there's something I've wanted to tell you a long time ago." A smile bloomed on Mammon's chubby face that would never have been pretty, "My rule is greed, and I have the priesthood of jealousy, and your realm is wealth and business. There is no priesthood and power in the world that complements each other more than we do. ”

"Greed is the origin, commerce is the means; What we can't get, we are jealous; Once possessed, it is wealth. So—"

The greedy demon god took the hands of the goddess of wealth and commerce, and was full of affection, but just as he was about to confess, the golden throne representing Adam in the pantheon suddenly flashed with a burst of brilliant and holy light, and moved forward in the roar.

"it!" The greedy demon god who was disturbed by the good thing scolded secretly.

Such a movement naturally attracted the attention of the gods, who knew very well what it meant - the sun god held more authority in the multiverse, and the Pantheon changed positions according to his priesthood, authority, and rank.

For a moment, the avatars of the will, who were either contemplative or closed-minded, focused their eyes on the throne that was still moving.

Boom –

The throne soon surpassed the original god of war, who was essentially on a par with Adam.

The Greedy Demon God explained with some jealousy and some anger, of course, with a hint of longing: "The position of the gods in the Pantheon is only an insignificant measure of the strength of the gods, and it is not directly related to combat power. Believe it or not, if there is a conflict with the Lord God of War, the Lord of Light may not be the opponent of the Lord God of War. ”

As for the reason why the blow reflected on the Ring that day made him feel palpitations and fear, it was probably because of the insurmountable gap between the true god and the main god, the greedy demon god said this to himself in his heart.

However, the movement of the throne did not stop there.

After surpassing the Lord God of War, continue to leave the Goddess of Darkness, one of the four veteran Lord Gods of the Multiverse, behind.

The greedy demon god laughed dryly, feeling a hot pain on his face.

If he could still talk nonsense because of jealousy just now, then after surpassing the two main gods in a row, it would be too petty to talk nonsense in front of the goddess of wealth and business.

So, the greedy demon god quickly organized his words, and pretended to comment lightly on the remedy: "It should be that the battle five years ago made the Lord of Radiance's understanding and mastery of the law of light even better, but it is estimated that this is the case. ”

The God of Truth, the Demon God of Destruction and Fire, the Goddess of Life, and the Goddess of Darkness, these are the four veteran main gods of the multiverse, and their strength is very extraordinary.

The God of Truth is the master of the laws of chaos, and also holds the most mysterious law of time among the ten laws;

The two main gods of destruction and the flame demon god were next to each other, and they were joined by the four main gods, and he secretly poisoned his hands before he fell unwillingly;

The goddess of life, who holds the law of life and has the priesthood of creation at the same time, is equally extraordinary.

Being able to surpass an old main god is already very remarkable for a new main god who has only been promoted for less than ten years, you must know that whether it is himself, or the goddess of earth and abundance, and the goddess of beauty, he is the last of the twelve main gods.

However, the movement of the throne continues, surpassing the goddess of life in one fell swoop under the incredible gaze of the greedy demon god.

Now, the greedy demon god's brain, which had just been filled with lust and jealousy, quickly came to a conclusion: the Lord of Radiance had obtained a very important priesthood!

Yes, it must be!

Otherwise, it would not be possible to explain why his throne is above the goddess of life.

Is it the Flame Priesthood?

Still is......

"Mammon, look!"

"What?"

Reminded by the goddess of wealth and commerce, the greedy demon god was shocked to find that the throne position belonging to the sun god Adam was still moving forward!

Hell, that golden throne is still moving, and it can't be stopped!

The normally quiet Pantheon remained silent, with no sound other than the roar of the throne moving, but if one looked closely, one would find that the incarnations of the will of the gods were using their spirits to discuss it violently.

"God, has His Majesty become the Lord of the Laws or has he gathered some great priesthood, leaving the three main gods behind at once!"

"I don't know what priesthood, but isn't the real problem now that His Majesty, the Lord God of Heaven, still continues to move forward? I can't even believe my eyes! ”

Three seconds later, Adam's throne finally stopped under the complicated gaze of the gods, juxtaposing with the position of the three goddesses of fate.

Before Him there was only one throne, which belonged to the God of truth.

The throne in the main god area is now divided into three rows:

In the first row, the God of Truth.

In the second row, the sun god, the three goddesses of fate.

In the third row, the other main gods.

***

On the seventh floor of Heavenly Mountain, Adam opened his eyes, and the symbol of the Sun Cross flashed in his pupils.

Beside him, countless rays of light and light flew around, surrounded by angels with two wings and four wings on their backs.

Aside from the difference in the number of wings on their backs, the angels were clearly divided into two camps, one of which was similar to the Angels of the Templars, with either a resolute and handsome appearance or a holy and beautiful appearance, and the wings were pure white, while the other camp was ......

Similar to Sergei, the fallen angel, his wings are pure black.

Although his appearance is as good as that of the Seraph, without a trace of evil, he is extremely indifferent.

In particular, a pair of jewel-like eyes shimmered with a cold and inorganic luster, like a machine without the slightest emotion.

When Adam opened his eyes, all these angels turned into wisps of light and converged on the back of Adam's head, rising with a divine and clear light.

In the radiance was a white-gold divine fire, and the divine fire was wrapped in three brilliant crystals.

One is a regular twenty-four hedral body, which is the godhead representing the law of light.

the other two, one exudes a warm and bright atmosphere all the time, for the sun priesthood; The other one has a terrifying aura of destruction and destruction, which is the result of Adam in the past five years, the destruction of the priesthood!

After the fall of the Demon God of Destruction and Flame, helping the Goddess of Earth and Fertility transform the Flame Priesthood into a Summer Priesthood, and leaving an avatar of will to accompany Isabella and her children, Adam entered the highest level of Heavenly Mountain and began his retreat.

In the first half year, Adam integrated the newly gathered flame priesthood into the solar priesthood, pushing the solar priesthood to the point of consummation!

In the second half year, Adam increased his comprehension of the law of light to 95% with his complete solar priesthood, the limit of what an ordinary main god could do.

Over the next four years, Adam fully comprehended the Law of Destruction with the help of the Blade of Chaos, an artifact created by the Demon God of Destruction and Flame using the Destruction Gem, and the Medium Artifact Calamity Box left behind by the Five-Colored Dragon.

In Adam's view, if the law of light represents hope, then the law of destruction represents despair, despair in the face of the collapse of the heavens and the earth, the extinction of the universe, and the collapse of the laws.

The Light heals wounds, heals wounds, dispels darkness and evil, and maintains the righteous order, while destruction is the opposite, turning objects into powder, strangling life, and destroying all good things......

It boils down to one word, and that is the end of the world!

At first, the two completely different ideas almost split Adam's thinking into two halves, and even the divine fire was shaken in the hedge of the two laws, until the sacrifice of the medium artifact Genesis, Adam was finally able to calm down and understand the law of destruction.

The rules of calamity drawn from the Calamity Box were first mastered by Adam, and thus evolved into the plague of hemorrhagic floods, frogs, lice plagues, plagues of flies, animal plagues, bubble plagues, hail plagues, locust plagues, plagues of darkness, and plagues of the firstborn, which were called the Ten Plagues of the Apocalypse by Adam.

The second one to be absorbed by Adam was the Blade of Chaos, which had been reduced to a medium artifact due to its breakage, which helped him gather the Priesthood of Destruction in one fell swoop.

According to Adam's original plan, the combination of the Calamity Box, the Edge of Chaos, and the book of Revelation in Genesis would bring together the Priesthood of Destruction.

However, he obviously underestimated the ability of the Blade of Chaos, after all, it was made of the Destruction Gem, and it had been fought by the Demon God of Destruction and Fire for many years, which contained the Demon Master's understanding and perception of the Law of Destruction, which allowed Adam to complete his work ahead of schedule.

In this way, Adam has more room to operate in the coming period.

You know, the book of Revelation records the understanding and use of the Law of Destruction, and there is even a page of images that are completely embodied by the Law of Destruction.

If he was lucky, after absorbing the knowledge of the book of Revelation and inheriting that image, Adam almost met the basic requirements for condensing the Godhead, and his comprehension of the law reached 70%!
