A moving halo of light appeared on the horizon, illuminating the destination of the convoy's trip, the legendary city of Olympia, which stands on the mighty shore of the vast plains.

There are many fascinating legends and myths about the city, countless bards have poured their talents into singing the praises of this legendary city, and the magnificent poems about the city of Olympia are bound to appear in the writings of any famous poet of the continent in history.

Even Karpas, the famous poet in the history of the elves, could not help but exclaim: "Compared with this city, the city built by the elves in the mountains is like a savage man-made phrase meets a sonnet." ”

Seeing this famous mainland city with his own eyes, Constantine, who has always been calm, couldn't help but feel a little shocked on his face.

The thousand-meter-high snow-white city wall stretches between heaven and earth, reaching into the sky, and the broad wall is like an outstretched arm, encompassing the entire plain into its arms.

The lake outside the city walls looks like a huge azure gem in the sunlight. There are several islands towering over the lake, and many snow-white watchtowers are scattered on the high hills of the islands, and the guards in strong clothes stand on the watchtowers, watching vigilantly ahead.

Seven long marble bridges cross the vast lake and lead to the city gate in the distance, each of which can accommodate four horse-drawn carriages side by side, and the bustling flow of people shuttles on the bridge.

From time to time, knights on griffons swept through the air and landed on the towers.

Outside the city gate stand two angel sculptures up to 100 meters high, with handsome faces, revealing indescribable majesty, holding giant swords in both hands, arching and guarding the city behind them.

When he was about to enter the city gate, a small group of knights rushed out of the city gate, Constantine noticed that the armor of this group of knights was carved with some kind of golden petals, and the armor and swords emitted faint magic fluctuations, which turned out to be high-level magic weapons, and the knights' military appearance was also very extraordinary, although the number was only a few dozen, but they had the spirit of thousands of troops.

"This is the Golden Iris Knights, one of the most powerful knights in the Empire. Diana explained, "Together with the forbidden army, under the personal command of His Majesty the Emperor, after the rebellion of the imperial capital ten years ago, he was recalled by his father to guard the capital, so he did not have the opportunity to fight in the north and south on the mainland. ”

Constantine was in awe, he was born in the north, he knew very well how terrifying the military power of the Dragon Lance Dynasty was, and the demise of Azeroa was closely related to the Dragon Lance Dynasty, and he was able to fight against the Dragon Lance warriors without defeat, such a team was undoubtedly worthy of the awe of all Imperial knights.

The convoy passes through the city's magnificent buildings, where masterpieces are lined up one after another, temples and halls that have been weathered by the vicissitudes of life proclaim classic beauty, and the sculptures and fountains stand tall and graceful, and the street alone shows the different artistic styles of several creators from different eras, and what is even more amazing is that these different styles of art can be combined with each other.

Constantine suddenly felt that the city itself was a great melting pot, in which all the best of human art could be settled.

In a trance, the convoy passed through a street filled with magicians in spell robes, lined with shops selling spell equipment, and in the middle of the street stood a huge crystal hub, surrounded by six glowing portals. Acting as a gateway to the outside world, hordes of mages enter and exit through portals.

Constantine was shocked again, there were more mages on this street alone than he had seen in the previous ten years combined, mages could be said to be a rare species no matter where they were in the continent, how could they be seen everywhere like cabbage turnips?

The capital of the first powerful country in the mainland is really extraordinary, the young man smiled bitterly, he was born in the north, and he was still too ignorant.

Diana was a good guide, and in the carriage she introduced every famous sight in her way, and even gave Constantine the illusion that his warm-hearted eldest sister was calling poor relatives from the countryside into the city.

The convoy suddenly stopped, Diana smiled slightly, and said to Constantine: "Unfortunately, Constantine, we must part here for the time being, and hope to see you in the academy the day after tomorrow." ”

According to the custom, the children of the royal family must return to the palace first when they return to the capital, and in Constantine's current status, of course, he is not qualified to enter such a place, so he quickly said goodbye to Diana, and several mages who accompanied him all the way from Richelieu also entered the carriage one after another and said goodbye to Diana.

Stepping out of the carriage and seeing the figures of several mages disappear into the portal, Constantine picked up the box and turned his head to Mordred next to him and said, "I can't see that you will take the initiative to see me off, although you are the only one." ”

"You deserve it. The masked knight said, fighting side by side along the way, the two hunters didn't talk much, and their friendship with each other was not to talk about living and dying together, but they both had a bit of a unique tacit understanding.

"What are you going to do in the future?" asked Constantine.

"In the city of Olympia, although there will be trouble, there will be no danger. Mordred said, "I still need to go through the training to become stronger, so I can't stay here, although I don't know why you want to get into the church, but I hope you can help Your Highness." ”

"Rest assured. ”

"Your Highness is a good person, but not a good person in the traditional sense, she has her own unique principles of conduct, so even if she knows your secret identity, she won't care too much. Mordred added.

Constantine just smiled, "I feel a little unhappy at the thought that the next time we meet, you may catch up with me in the guild rankings." ”

"Perhaps, but by that time, you wouldn't have cared about the ranking. Mordred whispered, "Take care, Lord Morningstar. ”

"Take care, Knight. ”

The two men compared each other with the gestures commonly used by bounty hunters in a guild, and then parted ways for each other.

Maybe they will meet again many years later, but that will be another story.

.........

Archbishop Cicero gave him the task of making him the personal priest of the Four Princesses, and to enter the Academy of Magic with the Four Princesses.

This is a very ordinary but very unusual appointment at the moment, according to the past practice, the shepherds of each diocese often enter a famous institution of the empire for a period of time, this resume is the compulsory path for almost all clergy to enter the upper echelons of the Church, and often only young clergy who are favored by the archbishops of the major dioceses can obtain this qualification.

However, Augustinian seminarians often do not need such proof, the name of the seminary itself is a very valuable signboard, as the most powerful northern diocese in the empire, Bishop Cicero does not need to go to such a great deal if he simply wants to cultivate the descendants of Constantine.

The real key lies in Diana's status as a personal priest, which is an important signal to the rest of the Church on behalf of the Diocese of the North, which means that the Diocese of the North will be an important supporter of Diana's path to becoming a saint.

Within the church, many church conservatives, led by Southern Archbishop Meron, are undoubtedly the biggest opponents.

And the prince of Byron naturally would not sit idly by and watch this sister who was at odds with him become the future saint of the church.

Such a great opposition, even with the support of Bishop Cicero and His Majesty the Pope of the Northern Diocese, and the endorsement of his status as a priest, was not enough to convince the majority of the Church to accept such a young woman as the most powerful figure in the Temple of Radiance.

Constantine walked down the street, thinking about these things, and his mind drew a clear picture of many facts hidden beneath the water.

Combined with the dangers that took place along the way, even a more detached institution like the Inquisition was involved in this struggle within the Church.

"It's nerve-wracking. Constantine sighed and decided to put these things aside for now.

He was a teenager whose mind was far more mature than his appearance, but after all, he was only a teenager, and for the first time in his life, he entered a big city like Olympia City, and his attention was still involuntarily attracted by this city.

Buying a map from a small shop on the street, Constantine walked down the street full of magic shops, surveying the shops around him with curious eyes.

He didn't stop until he reached the largest shop on the corner of the street, where the sign of the shop had a signature hexagonal golden shield pattern, with a sky-blue gem inlaid in the center of the shield, a staff and a sword crossed over each other in front of the shield, and next to the famous sign were several large letters: Alchemy Altar.

As the most well-known and largest alchemy organization in the entire continent, the Alchemy Altar has its own workshops and shops in all corners of the continent, and it is often located in the most conspicuous location in the city.

Without much thought, he walked into the alchemy altar.

There are not many people inside the alchemy altar, and in the huge three-story luxury hall, there are only a few dozen guests coming and going, less than half of the other shops, but the people who can enter the alchemy altar to buy magic items are often not ordinary people.

There were many magic items on display in the hall, and Constantine glanced at them, and found that the lowest price was a fire attribute ring, which was used to increase the power and control of the mage over low-level fire magic, which meant that once the mage wore this ring, he would have a lot more advantages in releasing such magic.

However, even this lowest-priced ring is enough to make many small and medium-sized nobles in the empire sigh.

Although the seminary generously provided him with two years of tuition, Constantine did not consider himself to have the luxury of buying such a thing.

After a few more laps, Constantine's eyes fell on something in the corner of the room, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

This is a short-handled wand, the wand body is engraved with tiny runes, the end of the wand is a lilac crystal, it looks extraordinary, according to the label instructions, this staff is an arcane equipment, storing three arcane magic, namely: transformation, flash, and advanced acceleration.

In addition, this staff also has a certain bonus to the power of low-level arcane, and even has a certain chance to add a spell penetration effect, so that the mage's arcane magic can break through spell defenses, so on the label, it is unmistakably stated that this wand is a magic item classified as a transcendent level.

Extraordinary-level magical items are already unattainable in many parts of the continent, and not everyone has the same luck as Constantine and Mordred.

However, although the magic item of this transcendent item has an outstanding effect, the price is not too high among the dazzling array of enchanted items in the hall, because arcane is recognized as an unpopular among the six major magic factions, and there are few mages who practice arcane, and ordinary arcanists can't afford this wand, so their status is quite embarrassing.
