Angela listened carefully and shook her head, "You're a madman. ”

"In the future, at a mysterious moment, you will also realize that there really is a destiny in this world. Blaze blinked, "What do you say? ”

Constantine's hand trembled slightly, "I didn't think about these mysterious things. ”

However, his heart suddenly fluctuated, and an inexplicable throbbing welled up in his heart, and in his mind, those things that were sealed in the depths of the labyrinth of memories seemed to be awakened by the word Destiny with the meaning of the Divine Mandate.

The fire was raging in front of him, and on that life-changing night, the woman in white stood in front of him, calmly telling him that there was an important mission waiting for him to complete.

What's that mission?

In the dark, there seemed to be a voice reminding him that he seemed to have forgotten something all these years.

"What's wrong with you?" the delicate female swordswoman sensed Constantine's trance.

"Nothing. After calming down, the indifferent voice of the morning star came from under the silver mask, and Constantine stood up, "I'll go make a cup of tea." ”

.........

"Do you believe in Destiny?"

In an empty room in the Grand Temple of Radiance, the Pope sat in an armchair, holding a cup of tea and muttering to himself.

The room was empty except for the Pope, so it looked like the Pope was talking to himself.

But everyone in the Church knows that the Pope is a man of great self-discipline, both physically and mentally, and never talks to himself.

Soon, another voice sounded in the room, "I have dealt with this old thing fate all my life, and I know what kind of scheming guy it is, sometimes, it will put some crossroads on your path, making you think that you have the right to choose, but once you make a choice, you will find that no matter which path you take, the final destination is arranged in advance by fate." ”

The mist from the teacup floated, but it did not escape in the huge room, and in the diffuse water vapor, the figure of an old man slowly emerged, and a faint magic fluctuation came out of the mist, obviously, this was a magic projection.

The image of the projection is an old man in a silver robe, his gestures are full of elegance and mystery, even if the person in front of him is the Pope of the Church of Light, the most sacred existence in the entire continent, he is not the slightest nervous, and his tone is calm.

This old man is the old man Constantine met at the Augustinian seminary, the top astrologer in the continent ---- Laplace.

Seeing Laplace appear, the Pope's gray eyebrows stretched slightly, "Back then, you said that the person who became the Pope would be me, not Drex, I didn't believe it much, but now it seems that your prediction is as accurate as ever, perhaps, some things are really destined by fate." ”

"Even if Younas hadn't been in Olympia this time, there might have been some other opportunity for the little guy to learn about the past, but the visit of this old friend had to bring the process forward. ”

The Pope shook his head, "Unfortunately, time is still too short, that kid is not ready to set foot in the City of Dawn now, and even if he has the ability, the people in the council may not like to see him coming." ”

"As long as the black box remains in his possession for a day, nothing will change the fate of that child. Laplace's eyes lit up with a deep light, and his tone was solemn and calm, as if he were narrating a grand epic, "He will inherit the will of His Excellency Faustus and take up the great mission handed down from medieval times, and no one can stop him." ”

The Pope was silent at the sight of Faust's long-lost name, and even though he was now the most admired figure on the continent, he still had the same deep reverence for the owner of the name as he had when he first entered the City of Dawn many years ago, no less than his reverence for the Lord of Light.

"I will tell Constantine everything about his mother, and it is up to him how far the boy can go on this path. The Pope closed his eyes in weariness.

"Don't forget, Constantine is her son, and since she chose to give him that box at the last moment of her life, why don't we old fellows believe him?" Laplace smiled.

The glow of the magic projection faded.

At the last moment of his disappearance, Laplace admonished, "And, my old friend, keep an eye on Drex." ”

After saying this, the mist disappeared with the wind, and the figure of the old astrologer disappeared into the room.

......

Half a month later.

In the early morning, countless people gathered at the entrance of the Palatine Academy, including students of the Palatine Academy and ordinary citizens who came to visit.

Today is the day when the ranking of the players will be announced, and this ranking will directly determine the number of places in the semi-finals of the martial arts tournament.

Countless people are looking forward to this.

In the standings, the name of the first place is Roland Austin.

No one has any doubts about this, Roland's outstanding performance since the competition is obvious to all, even if the Palatine Academy loses the team battle, it can't hide Roland's strength at all, whether it is the superb command ability displayed during the team battle, or the amazing divine brilliance when facing the dragon vein warlock's magic attack, it makes him deserve the first place.

However, what really excites ordinary people are the next three names: Rommel, Morningstar, and Blaze.

All three of them are from the blue group, and what it means is self-evident.

"Shine brightly, only one person from the Palatine Academy made it to the semifinals this year. A civilian forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and said with a little excitement.

In the past countless years, the Palatine Academy, which has almost won all the places in the semi-finals, has only Roland, who is a civilian student, has entered the semi-finals this year, which is bound to be a big blow to the students of the Paladine Academy, which has always been arrogant and aristocratic, but it makes most civilians very happy.

There was a cry of excitement from the crowd, it was an old man in simple clothes, everyone around him knew that this was the old man Pete who lived in the Oak District, his knightly nephew participated in the martial arts tournament five years ago and encountered a shady scene, and was accidentally eliminated by the descendants of a certain noble of the Palatine Academy in the qualifiers, which became the old man's heart for a long time.

Now, the aristocratic students have all failed in the semi-finals, and old Pete naturally feels angry.

There are not a few people who think like him, and for a long time, the commoners who dare not speak out about the privileges of the nobility have found the best outlet, and they have rushed to tell each other and congratulate each other.

In contrast, many of the Paladine students who learned of the results were depressed and complicated, and they were defeated by the civilians who had always looked down on them, and the blow to their self-esteem was self-evident.
