Section 94: Admission
The main theme of the Yabei Cathedral is a magnificent building, and the gate alone is different from ordinary churches, which is as high as two floors, and it is difficult to open and close it.
And today's gate of Yabei Cathedral is also a little different from usual, looking in from the outside, it seems that there is a layer of misty water vapor cover on it, and it looks a little weird.
"People who are taking entrance exams, please come in. β
Several priestly dressed men lined up on either side of the gate, and one of them said.
The black-robed mages and their students finally took their eyes back from Norman and Duke Lake, the mages arranged their robes, and the students wiped away their tears and snot and shook their spirits, and prepared to enter.
Leading the way were the red-robed mage Naiden and his students.
Naiden took the lead, slowly walked towards the gate of the church, and when he came to the layer of water vapor cover at the gate, the mage badge on his chest lit up slightly, and then half of his body merged into the water vapor cover, and then two more steps, he passed through the water vapor cover and entered the church.
The one closest to Naiden was dragging the corner of Naiden's mage robe, and the rest of the students were dragging one by one, and they followed Nayden one by one through the vapor cover and entered the church.
And then there was the other red-robed mage......
After seeing this scene, Norman realized how naΓ―ve and ridiculous his idea of wanting to fake the black-robed mage was, the magical methods of the mages were far beyond his common sense, and it was obviously not easy to get away with forging a mage robe and mage badge.
But as the mages gradually entered with their students, Norman discovered something.
What did he do?
Although Hardy agreed to let him take the entrance exam, he didn't have a mage badge, how could he get in?!
So he could only ask Duke Lake: "Duke Lake, how can I get in?"
Duke Lake, the big lord, is also idle, standing here and chatting with Norman until now.
With excellent communication skills, the two of them talked all the way from Thomas to Norman's origin, and they were about to talk about Norman's ancestors for eighteen generations, and now after receiving Norman's call for help, he smiled slightly and said: "Norman, don't worry, I believe that Hardy Priest must have arranged everything." As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze crossed Norman's body and shot in the direction of the church, and his mouth paused slightly before continuing: "Look, someone has come to pick you up." β
Someone came to pick him up?
Norman followed Duke Lake's gaze and turned to look, and sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man in a plain cloth robe walking towards him.
This man is a little familiar, huh?
Norman stared at the face of the man who was walking towards him in the distance several times before he remembered where he had seen him.
It was on the night that the Holy Maiden fell from the sky, and this man was one of several people who later fell from the sky, standing with Priest Hardy at that time.
The man walked slowly, but unusually fast, as if he had come to Norman's side in just a few steps, and the feeling was awkward to look at.
And when the man came to them, he was the first to salute Duke Lake.
"Good morning, Duke Lake. β
Duke Lake didn't dare to slack off, and returned a salute to him, with a smile on his face, "Good morning, Mr. Dominic." β
Looking at Duke Lake's attitude, this man in plain cloth is obviously not an ordinary person.
After greeting Duke Lake, Dominic said to Norman, "Come with me." Then he took his leave with Duke Lake, and turned to walk in the direction of the church gate.
Norman, who had not been trained in special etiquette, was about to leave with Dominic, but Lancelot reminded him.
"Say goodbye to Duke Lake first!"
Norman hurriedly turned around again and said to Duke Lake, "Duke Lake, I'll go first, hopefully...... I hope to have the opportunity to meet again in the future. β
Thanks to the fact that he had been chatting with Duke Lake for most of the day just now, and he was a little familiar with each other, he was not so nervous, otherwise he would really not be able to say such things.
Duke Lake smiled and said, "Okay, you're always welcome at the Lord's Palace, Norman. β
This attitude was very useful to Norman, and as he followed Dominic towards the church, he still remembered Duke Lake's friendly attitude.
This is the great nobleman, friendly, polite, and like a spring breeze, just a short period of effort, has made Norman have a good impression of him. Of course, what is more important is that Duke Lake, as such a high-status nobleman, the native emperor of Barnes, can talk to him so cordially, which is what excites and touches Norman the most, and at the same time gives birth to an idea.
Is he hugging Duke Lake's thigh?
If he can't get along in the church school, can he go and follow Duke Lake? Will Duke Lake reward him with a small nobleman? He doesn't have high requirements, as long as Lord Patton has his own manor!
The face of the saint still hasn't been seen, and Thomas, who was originally holding the new thighs, seems to be unable to protect himself, and the new Duke of Lake seems to have become a good new choice for Norman......
Norman was still thinking about his thoughts when a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"I apologize to you for the Leopold thing. β
It's Dominic's voice.
Norman looked up, but all he could see was the back of Dominic's head, and Dominic's voice kept coming to his ears.
"You may not know who Leopold is, the young man who badly injured you that night. β
That's when Norman learned the name of the guy with the sword that night.
"As the 48th Pope Nicholas III said, the Church should stay away from blood. Leopold's impulsive behavior deviated from the teachings, and I have already disciplined him. β
So that guy was punished?
This made Norman's heart ache a little.
Should!
At the same time, I also had a good impression of this Dominic, but Dominic's next words made a big turn.
"Leopold's behavior was impulsive, but his attitude was mine. β
"As the Deputy Master of the Templar Order, I want you to abide by your actions and understand who you are. Otherwise, you will bear the wrath of the entire Knights Templar, and I swear by my glory. β
They had already walked behind the last group of black-robed mages, but the black-robed mages in front of them didn't seem to hear Dominic's words.
Only Norman could hear it.
"Nicholas III did say that the Church is far from blood. β
But St. Quentin also said that the Church is not afraid of blood. β
That's ...... Threatened?
While Norman was still pondering this, Dominic suddenly grabbed his hand, which made him startle and his heart skip a beat.
Then Dominic pulled him through the water vapor hood.
As the other mages led their students through the water vapor hood, even the two red-robed mages at the beginning, and the priests on both sides of the gate stood motionless like statues, their eyes not bothering to glance at them, but when it was Norman and Dominic's turn, they all bowed slightly and saluted the man in plain cloth with respect.
This kind of differential treatment fell in the eyes of the black-robed mages who had just entered the church, and they couldn't help but look at Dominic twice, their eyes were shocked, but no one was qualified to recognize who this person was.
This man obviously has a great background, but now he is doing the work of guiding the way......
Justin was also watching.
Lambert was one of the last mages to enter, and as Lambert's student, he could just see the scene when Norman entered the gate just now, which made Justin's eyes even more complicated now.
One of Lambert's students stared at Norman for a long time, and then suddenly whispered, "I think I've seen him?" Just ten days ago, he seemed to have come to beg the teacher to take him as a student?......
Norman's appearance changed a bit drastically, and the student finally recognized it at this moment.
It's good that he didn't say this, but as soon as he said it, Lambert's face twitched, and after taking a few deep breaths, he said, "Let's go." Then he led the students inside.
