The people of this land yearn for the light, pursue freedom, and believe that they are the most devout followers of the God of Light.

Next to the royal palace is the Temple of Light, and the current Pope Cross, the oldest pope in history. His body is also much worse than before due to age.

The cardinals in the Holy See are also ready to move, and they are trying to install their own people in the selection of the Holy Son.

Although the Cult of Light is on the verge of decay, the selection of the Holy Son is still the only fair choice.

Under both the imperial power and the papacy, even ambitious cardinals had to follow the rules.

However, although the selection of the Holy Son is open to young people under the age of 10 from all over the country, the selection conditions are very strict.

Many people can't even carry the first level.

In the first level, participants must bow three times and knock nine times to reach the highest point of the ladder.

The so-called cloud ladder is a temple of light, with more than 200 steps.

It is generally difficult for a ten-year-old boy to have such a will and physical strength, so he can brush down half of the people in the first level.

However, the second level requires these exhausted teenagers to stay in the dark room for a day and a night without eating or drinking.

It's ridiculous to say that the Temple of Light prides itself on worshipping light, but trials make people get used to it.

Of course, there are also people who give plausible reasons, only when they know the horror of the darkness, will they cherish what they once had, what they have now, and even in the future... of light.

This second level is a test of both courage and patience.

The last level, and the most important part, is whether or not you can be blessed by the God of Light.

Speaking of blessings, we have to talk about this miracle that everyone yearns for, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than a reflection of the sun, and there is a lot of randomness.

The position of the sun changes at will, the setting point of the light changes, and the choice of the Son becomes unpredictable, but it is absurd to be regarded as God's will.

However, Micah was also one of those who participated in the selection of the Holy Son.

At the age of ten, he may be more ambitious and scheming than an adult. He has nothing, this is his only chance, a chance to turn over and become a master.

Now they're in the second level, struggling in the dark room...

More than 40 children were confined in a soundproofed darkroom, and their foreheads, elbows, and knees were all blurred with blood, pain, hunger, and thirst.

The first level brushed most of the pampered young masters, leaving only these teenagers who came out of adversity.

Whoever can go to the end depends on that ruthlessness.

Micah huddled in the corner with his knees crossed, the pain in his body didn't affect him, what really drove him crazy was the hunger, he hadn't eaten a drop of rice for two days.

The misty moonlight poured in through the narrow gap, and Micah suddenly realized that it was already night.

He subconsciously touched his stomach, his tentacles were only skinny, and his eyes were inker than the night, like the eyes of a lone wolf, cold and fierce.

He could die on this night, Micah leaned against the cold wall, and the thought suddenly came to him.

……

The night is blurry and the moonlight is bright.

Su Su successfully asked Sansan to help her light up her skills.

Although light work is not something that exists in this land, it can be used to explore the palace at night, and the method will not be discovered, I am afraid that light power has become the best choice.

"Ding, Micah, an important character in this book, is about to die, please go to the rescue as soon as possible." Sansan suddenly said anxiously.

"Bonus points?" Su Su asked as he hurried to his destination according to his location.

"One hundred." Sansan quickly replied, "Hurry up, and bring some food and water by the way." ”

Although Su Su felt puzzled, he still took some food in the palace according to what Sansan said.

……

This was the first time she had left the palace by herself, and she also knew that in addition to the palace, there was also a force called the Temple of Light.

When Su Su quietly unlocked the door with wire, her mind was attracted by the small figure in the corner.

It was a bloodied child, with messy hair that obscured most of his face, slender limbs, and an extremely malnourished appearance.

Micah felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and even the pain in his body couldn't wake him up, so he wanted to sleep, but he was so unwilling, he wanted to live.

In a daze, he actually smelled the smell of pastry, was he hallucinating? He struggled to open a slit in his eyes and saw a black figure crouching in front of him.

Su Su tiptoed to the young man's side, slowly squatted down, and stretched out his hand to pick up the strands of messy hair, but he didn't expect the other party to open his eyes at this moment.

Hey, why do you look so terrible in your eyes at a young age, wolf cub, Su Su thought silently in her heart.

Since he was sensible, Micah has lived a life of fighting for food, snatching and being robbed. That kind of vigilance has long been carved into my heart.

Therefore, Micah came to his senses almost instantly, but before he could speak, he was covered by Su Su.

"Shhhh

Micah's eyes widened subconsciously, his eyes full of confusion, what the hell did this girl want to do?
