Before the Knights of Light had all returned to the inn, Liu Ci opened the parchment scroll that she had bought for a hundred gold coins.

The priest of Vabelon did not tell lies, but she wanted to see if this book was worth the money.

This book is written in Xiyi, the most common language in the mainland, and the first page is blank, with a very complex pattern drawn on it, Liu Ci stared at it for a while, feeling a little dizzy.

It's a magic circle!

It's no wonder that a parchment scroll can be worth hundreds of gold coins, and it is indeed a large sum. Liu Ci quickly flipped the first page and entered the main text.

The text is the ranking of the latest masters in the Bright Continent. There are no magicians or swordsmen who have been famous for a long time, and those on the list are all rookies under the age of thirty.

This information is updated every year, and once a person on the list is over the age, it will automatically fall out of the list. And in the information of each young master, it is also noted that since he was on the list, the rise and fall of his strength ranking.

A bit unexpected, the number one is a woman.

"Hézel Sidney, female, 25 years old. Born in the Xiyi royal family, a great sword master, good at military affairs, known as the iron-blooded princess. ”

There are not many descriptions, but they are undoubtedly very concise. The important thing is that this iron-blooded princess has firmly occupied the first place on the list for three years. And her first age on the list was only eighteen years old.

Twenty-five years old is an age when a martial artist has just begun to accumulate thick and thin, and he is far from reaching the peak age of a martial artist. After living in the other world for a few years, Liu Ci, who is no longer so innocent, knows very well how difficult it is for a young 3 female martial artists to thwart a group of equally outstanding magical geniuses in a continent where magicians are respected.

In second place was a twenty-eight-year-old magician.

"Gordon Mitchelson, male, 28 years old. Born in the Xiyi magic family, a great magician, proficient in mathematics and physics, good at scroll melee combat. ”

The third place happens to be a member of the royal family, but he was born in the Ruilan Empire and is a partial branch of the royal family.

Liu Ci's memory is amazing, and she quickly finished the list of a hundred young masters, and she also remembers seven, seven, eight, eight.

Most of the new generation of masters have good backgrounds, such as the aristocratic families and royal families in the three major empires, and almost 80% of the list is occupied.

The remaining twenty percent of the places were divided among many small countries on the mainland, and there was only one 21-year-old mage who was really born from a civilian background and had no background.

He is a pure fire elemental mage, and after his qualifications were discovered, he was trained by the noble family of the Spur Empire where he belonged, and now he is studying at the Amster School of Magic and Magic, and has a talent in fire control that is difficult for others to match. In an experience in the Academy of Magic three years ago, he became famous, jumped on the list, and rose in the rankings year by year.

Of course, this young man from a civilian background, after being promoted to the Great Magician, was also rewarded with a knighthood by the Spur Empire and became a new nobleman.

It's hard for civilians to produce talents!

Although large families have been married for generations, it is easier to give birth to offspring with excellent qualifications. But Liu Ci did not believe that in the entire continent, the civilian class with the largest base, there would be no children with mage and martial arts talents.

Why can't these children be on the master list? Because they may have rented a noble field somewhere, never discovered their talent, ate black bread and boiled beans, and were buried all their lives!

Commoner children who are fortunate enough to embark on the two paths of mages and warriors, if they are not gifted like that fire mage, which great nobleman will sponsor them? Just like George Hera, although her sister Lydia has formed an adventurous team to go in and out of the Moroch Mountains all year round, the twists and turns almost make it impossible for George to continue his studies.

No matter how good the talent is, it has not been discovered, or it has been delayed for several years before it is discovered, how can we catch up with those geniuses who have received elite education since childhood because of their different births?

No matter how large the civilian base of the Guangming Continent is, and how backward the slavery system is, as long as the talents of the big family continue to flow, the discourse power of the entire continent will be firmly controlled by a small number of people.

When Liu Ci closed the parchment scroll, all the information on the page magically disappeared. Liu Ci looked at the sheepskin that suddenly became old, and finally understood why Mr. Connie could sell a book for such an expensive price, it was not easy to pirate copycats at all!

Of course, in the face of a grocery store owner who is said to have lived for more than two hundred years, few people dare to steal his business in the Bright Continent, where strength is respected.

After Liu Ci finished reading the book, the Bright Knights also arrived at the inn one after another. The Marquis of Stlev was the last to come back, no one knew what he bought, the carriage in which the Marquis rode was very full, and Liu Ci was not sure if he was going to cast a net everywhere to give gifts when he arrived at the Holy Land Harbor - if it was just to clean her up, if he wanted to satisfy the appetite of the discerning Holy See, would it be worth it for the Marquis to lose his entire family business? Liu Ci felt that the other party was actually calculating quite well, and Bishop Simpson asked him to go to the Holy Land Harbor with him, and the Marquis of Streiff seized this opportunity.

How could this man, who never forgot to climb up, waste the opportunity to meet the high-ranking figures of the Holy See in the diocese of the Holy Haven.

However, the Holy Land Harbor and his party can't see the winner yet, Liu Ci feels that either she leaves the Holy Land Port safely, which means that she has killed the Marquis of Stref; Either she fled in embarrassment, or the Marquis won.

In the city of Douala, which is very close to the Diocese of Port Sangdi, Liu Ci and others packed up their gifts and began to walk towards the Diocese of Port Sande.

The evening sun shines on everyone, and July, which should be hot, is the most pleasant time of the year in the Holy Land Port.

Liu Ci did not take the carriage again, but chose to ride a horse.

Bathed in the sun, Liu Ci saw from afar the real center of the entire continent, the "Holy Land Port".

It is the center of the Holy See, not a state, but it is better than the state of China.

Different from the big city seen all the way, the front of the Holy Land Port was a smooth road, there was no city wall, and it appeared in front of Liu Ci in this way.

There is no snow in July, but the buildings of the Holy Land Port show a natural clear and pure white. White stone quarried from the deep sea builds this sacred area, and the magnificent architecture concentrates the top technology and aesthetics of the Bright Continent.

Theology is certainly not aesthetics, but in such a complex, aesthetics can bring theology to its peak!

The Veblen Priests and the Knights of Light were so devout that after entering the Holy Harbor, they even abandoned their mounts and switched to walking. Walking on the wide and clean streets, the faint fragrance of olives, the flock of white pigeons flying overhead from time to time, and the holy and atmospheric high-rise houses all around. People perceive their own smallness and become more and more reliant, as if God is really looking down on his followers from above the city.

Everything is so orderly on the streets.

Liu Ci had to admit that even in the era of the great universe with highly developed science and technology, in the Earth Federation, and on other planets, she had never felt this kind of atmosphere.

It was peaceful, without a trace of fighting.

As far as the eye can see, it is the light exposed to the sun. There may be filth here, but it's definitely not a question that a first-time believer would think about.

Even Liu Ci only flashed these slightly deliberately provocative thoughts in his mind.

The atmosphere of the Holy Land Harbor reminded her of the picture when the family was on Junshan Island, and each letter girl alternated. At that time, all the Liu family members worked together, because everyone knew that the belief of the ancestors from Junshan Island was the foundation for the Liu family to flourish for 3,000 years.

It is not shaken at all, no matter how the world changes, no matter how many regimes change, the Liu family will not collapse, it will only continue in time for eternity, until in the unknown future, people may overthrow the beliefs they have established.

The same goes for the Holy Land Port.

It is the source of legend's first visit to the world by the god of light. It is the center of the Bright Continent and the foundation of the Holy See. No matter how the countries on the continent are at war, divided, or replaced, it has always stood in this place, guiding believers and keeping their spiritual world from being confused.

"Every time I come back here, I feel so close to God...... Even Amster, who is closest to the sky, doesn't feel this way. ”

Priest Veblen sighed quietly.

The religious atmosphere, everything about it, was something he had been nostalgic for decades after he left the Holy Land Harbor.

The young knights of light come from all over the continent, and only a few of them have ever been to the Holy Land Harbor with their fathers, and the knights who arrive for the first time will be shocked by the Holy City.

Walking into such a place will make people believe that the chivalry they insist on is truly accommodated by the Pure Land.

The Holy Land Port is such a pure land.

Not to mention the little maid Sang Man next to Liu Ci, Sang Man is not only grateful to Liu Ci, but also grateful to Nana and Amy who let her come, if it weren't for them giving up the opportunity, Sang Man believes that he will never have the opportunity to step into the Holy Land Port in his life.

It is holy and sacred, and it has the magic of prostrating itself before it, telling God about its piety, and confessing its mistakes to God.

The sound of wheels spinning on the stone pavement woke everyone up.

Liu Ci raised his eyes and saw a four-wheeled carriage with a gold roof and a black bottom driving out of the inner city. The driver of the car was a young and energetic female warrior.

Although she was not wearing the armor she wore during the war, the temperament that had experienced the baptism of war, even an ordinary mercenary could not pretend to be it, so Liu Ci noticed it at first sight.

The golden roof of the carriage is particularly eye-catching under the support of the black background, and the seal is engraved with a gorgeous and extraordinary pattern of a sacred bird that looks like a phoenix but not a phoenix.

"It's the carriage of the Xiyi royal family."

Veblen Priest recognized it for a moment, then continued, "It should be the frame of a royal princess." ”

Liu Ci's eyelids jumped, looking at the female warrior who was driving the car, and suddenly remembered the parchment scroll he had climbed over not long ago.

She has an intuition that the person in the carriage is the number one master of the young generation in the mainland, the "Iron Princess" Hazel Sidney.

I don't know if it was because Liu Ci's gaze at the carriage was too intuitive, the curtains hanging from the glass window were lifted, and the people in the carriage showed a small half of their faces and glanced at everyone.

That gaze is like a bladeless sword, not aggressive, but so awe-inspiring and inviolable!

In just an instant, Liu Ci was sure that this woman was the one mentioned in the parchment scroll, the female warrior who was good at military affairs, the princess of Xiyi, Hazel Sidney-
