"The Prime Minister has already gone to the battlefield and has no time to take care of household affairs, so we will naturally keep it a secret for you. Charlie still did not give up, and said: "Your Excellency the Pope has specially prepared a greeting gift for you, if you insist on refusing, the Fisdal family and the Holy Light Church may not live in peace as before." ”

The middle-aged man coughed, and the attention of the others returned to him. The badge awarding ceremony was still going on unhurriedly, and when Lilith and Locke saw that Charlie's face was a little ugly, they stepped aside.

"Oh?" Casio suddenly became interested and said, "Your Excellency the Pope is so polite, and I am really flattered here." ”

Hearing the magician's slightly mocking tone, Charlie couldn't help frowning, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "The treasure of the Holy Light Church-the Embrace of the Magician. ”

"What?!" even though Charlie had lowered his voice, the people nearby heard what he said.

"The Magic Guide's Embrace is an artifact-level magic book, how can it be given to this guy casually?"

"That's right, it's just a mage who has just stepped into the high level, and he doesn't have the strength to control the magic guide at all!"

There was a commotion all around, after all, Charlie's words were really incomprehensible.

Casio was equally surprised, his face full of surprise. The surrounding discussion made him feel a little bored, but what he had to do now was to refuse the Pope's invitation.

Ellie's eyes widened, she couldn't imagine how valuable Casio was to the church to make the Pope offer such a tempting bargaining chip.

She was fortunate enough to see the true face of the Magic Wizard's Embrace once, when she was about to arrive in the imperial capital before, when the group was attacked by the twelve thundering knights.

Ai Wen is already a magician who has stepped into the Sanctuary, and his strength is firmly against Charlie. But when Charlie took out the Magic Guide's embrace, the situation took a turn for the worse, which shows the power of the Magic Guide's embrace.

"Lord Charles, despite the Pope's good intentions, unfortunately it is impossible for me to join the Church of Light. Casio calmed down and said with a calm face.

In fact, in the short few seconds just now, the magician's heart went through a fierce struggle.

Although joining the Church of Light would give him a higher status, and even more tempting, he would be able to obtain an artifact that all magicians could only dream of!, but he was clearly more afraid of the latter than the Demonic Embrace and Shiloh's punishment.

Shiloh is notoriously hot-tempered, and despite his amiable approach to Ellie, he is as cunning and cunning as a fanged sword wolf when facing his enemies.

Once Casio defies his family's rules and joins the Church of Light as a royal magician, the magician will have to endure the wrath of the patriarch when Shiloh returns to Grande to learn about it.

Shiloh has always believed that a treacherous friend is far more hateful than an enemy.

Charlie's face turned extremely ugly, and Ellie noticed that the Thunder Knight clenched his fists, and a trace of fear swelled up in her heart.

I saw the anger in Charlie's eyes flash, and then he returned to an indifferent expression. He waved his hand helplessly, and said, "It seems that Lord Shiloh is really good at teaching, then I will not force you anymore, but I still ask you to write a letter to reply to the Pope in person." ”

The magician nodded and bowed to Charlie.

Looking at Charlie's back as she turned away, Ellie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't be afraid of him, I've heard Lord Shiloh mention you, you should be one of the Children of Prophecy, right?" Casio patted the girl's shoulder lightly, a smile on his pale face.

Ellie snorted and lowered her head in embarrassment, half of her face obscured by silver hair.

"Lord Shiloh takes your safety very seriously, so I'm here for more than just a strength test. The girl looked up blankly, and Casio winked mysteriously at her and said, "Another reason is to keep you safe." ”

"I see......," Ellie said thoughtfully.

"Ellie Hugo, third-order archer!" the middle-aged man's deep voice echoed throughout the reception hall, and the girl hurriedly raised her right hand and walked through the crowd to Charlie.

"You're so good at torturing Luna like that. Charlie whispered to the girl, not knowing whether it was mockery or dissatisfaction.

"Lord Charlie, I don't understand what you're talking about. Ellie suddenly became nervous when she heard this, and a little bead of sweat oozed from her forehead.

"Don't think that because Fisdal's people are here, I won't dare do anything to you. Charlie smiled coldly and said in a threatening tone: "The Shilo people are thousands of miles away on the battlefield, and there is no one to give shelter. If it weren't for Aven's obstructive guy who has been protecting you in the shadows, how could you have lived so peacefully? ”

Ellie didn't answer, she wanted to take the badge and leave immediately. But Charlie seems to be deliberately stalling for time, and he wants to send a message to the girl - as long as they stay in the imperial capital, then there will not be a moment of peace.

"The short bow behind your back looks pretty good, can you show me a closer look?" Charlie said as he handed the power badge to Ellie, a disdainful smile on his lips as he felt the girl's hands tremble slightly.

Ellie shook her head vigorously, everything around her was eerily quiet, and everyone stopped moving at this moment, staring at the white blue bow behind the girl like a puppet.

Ellie felt like a thorn in her back, and she couldn't stand the strange stares. For some reason, Ellie always felt that the scene she was in was not where reality was, and she even felt that it was all an ethereal scene.

"Then you must take care of it, or I will offer it as a tribute to the Pope when I am in the mood for it. Charlie smiled weirdly, and his eyes never took off the white blue bow for a moment.

"Thank you, sir. Ellie turned and walked back to her original position, her back already soaked in cold sweat.

"Ellie, are you alright?" asked Lilith as she walked over to the girl and asked with a worried expression.

"I, I'm fine. Ellie was slightly sure in her heart, and looked down at the power badge in her hand.

The six-pointed star engraved on the edge of the coat of arms is faintly shining, and in the center is a delicate short bow with star-like protrusions around it.

Ellie put the badge in her pocket and looked at the people next to her, she wanted to go back because Loras was still waiting for her outside.

"Ellie, Locke and I are about to leave later, do you want to come with us?" Lilith took the girl's hand, a little reluctantly.

"Thank you for your kindness, but my brother has been waiting for me outside, and it's a pleasure to meet you!" said the girl, and the previous melancholy had subsided a little.

"Okay, I declare this strength test a success!" Charlie's deep voice pierced Ellie's ear like a sharp blade.
