Previous Chapter: Chapter 59 Lies

Speaking of the Knights Templar's Paladin Training Camp, people's first reaction now is Key Island, which hangs alone in the Olopa Sea leading to the 'gate' of the Southern Ocean, but 2000 years ago, Key Island was not the territory of the Central Church, so at that time, the Paladin Training Camp was actually set up in a valley on Holy Pope Island with a pleasant climate and four seasons like 'spring'. [hua. I want to read almost all the books.,It's faster than the general station to be more stable than the dìng, and there are no ads in the whole text.] Visit: wèn:. It was not until more than a thousand years later, after the Central Church obtained de facto control of the Key Island, that the Paladin Training Camp was moved out, and the valley where it was originally located was built into a city, which was later known as the Knight's Sanctuary - Madolu City.

Of course, that's all for later.

In the year 4483 of the original continental calendar, that is, in the year 433 BC, on the 'spring' day of this year, a huge army of the Knights Templar came out of the paladin training camp and marched in the direction of the holy city of "City of Myths". This was not a military operation, but an important ceremony to be attended: Alice, the goddess who had just turned 18, received the staff of the priesthood, the symbol of the Holy Maiden, from the hands of the Saint's Auxiliary, and officially fulfilled her duties as the Holy Lady of Radiance, and at the same time, Howard was officially established as the heir of the Pope. Such a heavy event had to be solemnized, and its rituals and preparations were quite complicated, and the grand Mass alone lasted for a whole day and night. The Cardinals, the Papal Guard, the Knights Templar, the Inquisition, and the local dioceses of various countries sent more than 10,000 delegates to fill the church.

After the Mass, the exhausted "Pope-elect" Howard was "kidnapped" by a daring guy on his way back to his bedroom.

"Let go of me, who the hell are you? Don't you know that kidnapping the papal successor is a capital offense!" Howard, who was carrying it on his shoulders, broke free of his hands, dug out the sackcloth that had been stuffed into his mouth, and shouted angrily.

He couldn't see the kidnapper's face clearly, only that he was wearing a blue and white 'colored' Templar uniform, so Howard took it for granted that the other party was a heretic infiltrating the Central Church.

"Hahaha, before the next pope, you've learned to put on a stinky shelf. The other party was not intimidated by Howard's Weihe, but laughed and sneered.

"This tone of speech, are you ......" Howard was startled.

Although the sound has become much thicker after a few years, the familiar taste can still be discerned from it.

"Hey, hey!" the bold "kidnapper" turned his head.

"Ahh

In the past five years, he has grown from a small 'hairy' child to a hot-blooded teenager full of muscles and 'flesh', although his appearance has changed greatly, his eyes are still the same.

"Dulos, let me go. ”

"Then you can go by yourself. ”

Dulos threw Howard to the ground, then pulled out his dagger and cut the ropes that bound his wrists.

"What have you done, get me back!" Howard said nervously as he rubbed his sore hands.

"After all these years, you are still so cowardly, what kind of man are you?" Dulos crossed his waist and lectured Howard, "When I was at Mass just now, I saw the bitter melon on your face, and I knew that you have not had a good time all these years. I kindly took you out to breathe, but you glared at me instead?"

"Huh?"

"Let's go, or you won't be able to get out when the guards come." hua.”

"What do you do with those priests?"

"Don't worry, I just knocked them out, and it won't be long before I wake up. ”

......

The two teenagers actually climbed out of the high wall of the heavily guarded Temple of Light, and none of the guards found out that this incident was a strange incident that "no one has ever come before or since" in the Central Church.

"Huhuhuhu...... No, huhu...... I can't run......" Exhausted Howard, holding his hand on his aching lower abdomen, squatted down in the alley.

"Do you regret it?" sneered Duros, who was running ahead.

He does have the capital to laugh at Howard, and he has climbed over walls and rushed all the way, without even a drop of sweat on his forehead.

"I don't regret it, I'm just surprised. I didn't expect it to be you. "Howard really doesn't regret it. Although he was mentally prepared to be scolded and punished by the Grand Cardinal, this was nothing compared to the long-lost friend and the short-lived but precious freedom.

"So what are you rubbing? There's another guy waiting for us!"

"There's another guy? doesn't she ...... too" Howard immediately realized who Dulos was talking about.

Suddenly, he forgot about the swelling pain in his lower back and ran after Duros's footsteps.

The two bear children walked through the alley one after the other, as they ran into a vacant house, took off their papal and Templar uniforms, changed into the clothes of ordinary civilians, and then slowed down a little and headed west to the west of the Holy City.

It was the first time Howard had had the opportunity to visit the Holy City in the five years since he arrived. Compared to the town where they lived before, the grandeur and liveliness of the Holy City is breathtaking. Howard entered the city like a hillbilly, feeling new and wanting to try everything, if it weren't for Dulos's repeated urging, I was afraid that Howard would be immersed in this market all day long. In the end, even Dulos couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to pay for a carriage and stuff Howard into the sealed carriage.

Finally, after the 'wave' had taken a full three hours, they reached their destination.

It was a station on the western outskirts of the Holy City that belonged to the Knights Templar.

When they got out of the car, Howard was inside the inn and found the person he had dreamed of seeing: Miss Faria.

Unlike the two boys, Falaya did not change into civilian clothes, she still wore the uniform of a nun of the Founding Evangelical Theological Seminary. Compared with five years ago, she has grown a lot, although she is still only a 12-year-old girl, but the delicate figure that has begun to take shape, coupled with more and more cute and peugeot facial features, is already a beauty.

"Faria!" Howard shouted her name at the door.

"Ahh......h

Although she had seen Howard at the big mass a few hours earlier, he was on the high altar at the time, giving Fareya an unattainable feeling that she was no longer face-to-face now.

The two couldn't help but rush towards each other, and just as they were about to hug each other, a "forgotten" third person intervened. "You really don't have zài anymore. Dulos grimaced and said very unpleasantly.

Howard spread his hands awkwardly, while Fareya shy shrank back. She seems to have just realized that she seemed to have done something that was inconsistent with the "cultivation of 'women' and 'sex'" that she had studied in seminary.

However, the small 'interlude' does not diminish the joy of meeting friends.

The three friends sat on the floor and talked at length.

For Howard, he had a very high position in the Temple of Light, but because of this, almost everyone saw him with deference and respect, and he himself could not laugh or do whatever he wanted, he had to 'deal' with others according to the tone, attitude and words taught by the Grand Cardinal, and he must always be careful not to do anything inconsistent with the status of the papal heir. In these five years, Howard had no friends who could speak half a sentence, his life was all arranged, and under the glossy exterior, there was a long-pent-up, closed heart. It is only when he reunites with two friends that he is eligible to be treated equally. Howard has a feeling of 'spring' wind, and even if he faces severe punishment after returning home, he has no regrets about today's reckless behavior - which is unimaginable before today.

As for Faria, although the rules in the Genesis Evangelical Seminary are many and strict, she is still much "happier" than Howard, because the little girl has a freedom that Howard does not have. Every 'female' student of the seminary has the opportunity to leave once a month. Falaya went deep into the market and experienced the people, she came into contact with many people, and she was much more cheerful in 'sex', and knew more about nature than Howard. She had long heard about Howard as the "Stigmata" and the successor to the Pope, and Falaya had a low status compared to her, but she still had hope that she would be reunited with Howard one day. The Holy Divine Seminary has cultivated many talents for the Holy Female Department for hundreds of years, and many Radiant Divine Female Seminary have been selected from among the students of the seminary. Due to the fact that Alice, the contemporary saint 'woman' is very young and in good health, the possibility of Fareya becoming the next successor of the saint 'woman' is extremely low, but every year the seminary will select one of the best graduates from among the graduating students of this year, and send her to the Temple of Light to serve as the "saint's 'maid'", which is equivalent to the personal 'attendant' of the Radiant saint'. Falaya was one of the hardest working students of her age, and she did all this so that she could be chosen to be a Holy Acolyte after graduation, so that she could spend her days and nights with Howard in the Temple of Light.

Dulos, on the other hand, was the luckiest of the three children.

"Haha...... You see, I'm a knight now, and a member of the glorious Haslem family!" Dulos eagerly showed off his noble badge to his two friends.

"Haslem, I've heard he's a very famous paladin. How did you become part of his family?" Howard asked.

"Hmph, of course, it's because of Uncle Ben's talents! Sue you, I'm now the best student in the Paladin's Training Camp. Dulos unabashedly boasted.

"But I heard from the Grand Cardinal that you were assigned to the Inquisition for Holy Inquisition training, so how did you end up with the Templars?" Howard continued.

Upon hearing this, Dulos's face sank on the spot.

Falaia, on the other hand, covered her mouth with her hands and laughed.

"Damn Howard, which pot is not opened. Dulos grimaced and cursed, just like the one he had before.

It turned out that when he was recommended to enter the training base of the Holy Inquisitor, Dulos's academic performance was quite unsatisfactory, and he could even be said to be an inferior student. He had almost no talent for learning magic, could not learn the most basic of the Holy Light for half a day, and he had no interest in religious theories, and even fell asleep in prayer, becoming a laughing stock among his peers, so he was ruthlessly expelled after less than a year as a student of the Holy Inquisition. The homeless Dulos was unaccompanied in the Holy City, and for the next six months he worked as a laborer on the docks, selling his body to support himself.

However, the so-called "shit luck" is also talking about guys like Duros.

One day, when he was carrying goods at the docks as usual, he saw a thief stealing the wallet of an old man who had just disembarked from the ship, and Dulos reminded him in time, but he was beaten by the thief and a dozen people, Dulos showed his amazing athletic talent, and a little combat skill he learned in the training base of the Holy Inquisitor also came in handy. Although he was badly repaired in the end, his actions caught the old man's attention. Dulos never dreamed that this old man who had to rely on crutches to walk was actually a retired paladin: Gail Haslem.

The Gaelic Knight was born into a family of paladins with a glorious tradition, but he dedicated his life to the Order and the Holy See, so much so that his marriage was delayed. Now he is in his eighties, still alone, and the inheritance of the family has become the biggest problem. I don't know if it's because I'm too lonely in my old age, or because I think Dulos's righteousness and enthusiasm are very similar to when I was young, the old knight "picked up" the child and adopted him as a righteous son. In this way, Dulos went from being a dock to a child laborer to an aristocratic heir.

Shortly after, Dulos was sent to the Paladin Training Camp. Compared to the lifeless Inquisitor's classes, the Paladin's training placed more emphasis on combat skills, and Dulos had no interest in magic and culture, but he was a martial arts wizard whose talent was fully exploited. Two years later, Duros was one of the most outstanding students in the Paladin's Training Camp, which was one of the reasons why Duros was eligible to join the Templar Order's team for the ceremony.

The small inn is full of boys and girls. The three children talked about their vision for the future from the recent situation and interesting stories around them, and before they knew it, the sun was setting and the night was coming.

When the night completely flooded the station, the three of them finally understood that it was time to part ways, and they had to go back to their respective places and accept the punishment of their mentors.

However, Dulos still seems to be unsatisfied, and before parting, he also proposed a proposal:

"We don't know when we'll meet again. So before I go, I want to take you guys to see a strange place. ”

Strange place?

Howard and Falaya glanced at each other, and they both felt that it was not a joke or a casual act on the part of Dulos, because when he said this, Dulos had an unprecedented seriousness and strictness on his face.

"If I hadn't gone to see that so-called 'strange place' with Dulos, the next tragedy might not have happened. The Lich King Callowan picked up the kitchen knife and shoved it back into Emilia's hand, he sighed and said, "That was the last choice I made of my own volition, and everything that happened after that was out of my own volition. ”
