As soon as she finished speaking, a kind-faced grandmother dressed in a pure snow-white church robe walked slowly down the stairs. Behind her was a short-haired blond boy just over fifteen years old, wearing pure white armor and a handsome face.

"It's the Pope!" Exclaimed Eve, seemingly surprised by the Pope's presence.

"Mistress Santa Angelia, thank you for coming. "Grover's attitude towards the Pope was extremely respectful.

Everyone present gave the Pope a deep salute as a sign of respect.

"Please don't be polite. The kind old woman smiled slightly, "I am here today as Eve Elder to help my niece." ”

"So please treat me as an ordinary elder. ”

"Grandma Angelia!" Eve trotted over excitedly as the Pope walked down the stairs, holding her palm lightly, acting like a child, "Long time no see, Grandma Angelia." ”

"Well, it's been a long time, my niece. She patted the back of Eve's hand gently, "Let's talk about it later." ”

"So what my father means is that you're here to help us and bring good news?"

"Yes, listen to me next. The Pope cleared his throat and spoke, "To help my niece and granddaughter find the whereabouts of that young man, I used a ninth-order miracle spell. ”

"It's actually the ninth-order..."The people present couldn't help but be secretly surprised, the Pope actually had the strength to use the ninth-order miracle, if this news spread, I was afraid it would cause a sensation in the entire continent.

Because the average king-level spellcaster can only use sixth-order spells at the most, and the power of sixth-order spells is extremely terrifying.

"Are you using..."

"The Art of Fate and Fortune (Fate_and_Destiny), a spell that allows you to peek into your fate for a short time. "But I paid a lot for it. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people present were extremely shocked.

"Grandma Angelia, are you alright?" asked Eve, urging urgently, fearing that the respected elder would suffer a loss.

"Well, my good niece, I'm fine. All that was paid was a few god-level creation items. But you're sure to know what I'm seeing, right?"

"Your Holiness, please speak. ”

"I was amazed by the fate of that teenager, and the calmness and composure shown in the 'Forest of Silence' was by no means comparable to that of the average person of his age. ”

(Can the Pope even spy on what is happening in the Forest of the Dead?) Eve was secretly surprised.

"But alas, he was forced to board a pirate ship and arrive on an island one day," said the Pope in a very heavy tone, "and he was disconnected from the 'thread of fate' of this world. ”

"The thread of fate is broken?"

The Pope nodded and explained: "In this world, their destinies are inextricably linked to the people and things of this world. But once they die, their fate has nothing to do with this world. ”

In other words, it means 'the thread is broken'. ”

When Eve heard this, her heart couldn't help sinking, "Isn't that..."

Grandma Angelia sighed and patted Eve on the shoulder, "Yes, the boy is most likely dead on that island and is no longer alive. ”

"But—" She vaguely felt that the boy should not have died so easily. Because when he was in the Silent Death Forest, he relied on his alone strength to walk out of the forbidden place alive.

But she couldn't say it, after all, it was just how she felt.

"My niece, although he is your fiancé in name, and you have met a few times before you were young, you can be considered friends even if you do not succeed in making a marriage contract. Grandma Angelia comforted, "And I don't think it's easy for my friend to die, I understand that." ”

"Grandma—" The girl didn't know what to say at this time, since the Pope had already made up her mind, I was afraid that the boy had already met with an accident.

"May Jasmine, the goddess of light, guide his soul. ”

"May the Goddess guide his soul...", the crowd bowed their heads in silent mourning.

A few minutes later, with the Pope's final eulogy, the crowd raised their heads.

"Let's make plans for the future first. Grover cleared his throat, "What does the Pope think of the fact that the boy has died?"

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, I gave it to you back then, right?"

"Yes, Grandma Angelia, remember that you said that the golden scroll used in the marriage contract has the power of the goddess Jasmine, and once it is signed, it must be carried out, otherwise the punishment will fall. ”

"But I remember the contract, and there was no time limit, didn't it?" said Grover, musing that he was there when the contract was signed.

"Now that the other half of the contract has died, the contract is no longer valid. Although the Book of Oaths cannot be destroyed, there is no one left to enforce it. ”

"Therefore, in my capacity as Pope, I officially give a prophecy to St. Bauhinia Joanna Eve. The Pope raised his hands, and the incomparably divine light slowly descended like stars, and the entire hall appeared incomparably sacred.

As the Pope's divine voice sounded, everyone in the hall knelt down with an extremely reverent gesture.

"St. Bauhinia Joanna Eve, you, are designated as the Seventh Holy Woman. Officially crowned three months later. ”

"I, St. Bauhinia Joanna Eve, follow God's predestination. ”

Angelia lowered her hands, smiled kindly, and helped Eve to her feet.

"I'm sorry, my grandniece. It's probably going to be hard for you. ”

"Please don't say that, Grandma Angelia. From the moment I became a candidate for the Holy Maiden, I had this awareness. ”

"Good, good. Sure enough, it's my good niece. Angelia patted the back of Eve's hand gently, "I heard that you lost the 'Holy Sword's Sword Blade' when you were a child, right?"

Eve was stunned when she heard this, and replied, "Yes, the Sixth Holy Sister was still there at that time, and I thought I..."

"Eh, that's not your fault. If the Sixth Holy Maiden is still alive, it won't bother you. In this way, when the Sixth Holy Maiden left, she left her 'Holy Sword: Final Judgment' with me, and in a few days you set off for the Holy Mountain, and I will give you that sword. ”

"However, isn't the holy sword unusable by anyone but its owner?"

"I'm sure you can, Eve. You have lived with the Sixth Holy Maiden since you were a child, and it is not difficult for it to accept you as a holy sword, but it may take a little time. ”

"Moreover, you possess an extremely powerful 'miracle' talent, and the purity of the 'Holy Mang' in your body has surpassed that of almost all saints in the past, and you already have enough qualifications to become the new master of the 'Holy Sword: Final Judgment'. ”

"So I expect you to build a new relationship with the Holy Sword during these three months, while training. After all, as a saint, you need its power. ”

"Yes, Joanna Eve will not fail Grandma Angelia, no, Your Majesty, Your Majesty. ”

Hearing this, the Pope nodded in satisfaction.

"So let's get to know each other first. Angelia took a step back and pointed her palm at the young man in pure white armor behind her, "He's Van Luntekai Ron, the youngest and most outstanding paladin in my Holy Sect. ”

"In the meantime, after three months, he will be your Sworn Knight, following you for the rest of your life. ”

The short-haired blond boy took a step forward and straightened his waist and slapped his right hand heavily on his heart.

"I, Van Luntekai Ron, will follow you for the rest of your life. ”

(Van Lun Tiekai Ron, the first paladin of the young realm of the Holy Cult, the loyal dog of the Cult.) Dennis said to himself, (Entrust Eve to him...) Is that really good?)

(If the boy is still alive, would he be willing to become a Knight of Oaths and compete with Ron?)

(No, I think too much.) There's no way the church would be willing to let go of the opportunity to let an outsider become a knight of oaths. ）

At this time, the girl looked at Ron's handsome face, not knowing what she was thinking.
