Chapter Seventy-One: The Cathedral of the Light
The Cathedral of Vanna City, since the arrival of Essoda, the Child of Light, has almost filled the doorway on this day. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info when the king's carriage approached, he could no longer walk. I had to come down and walk. But I still can't get in...... There are too many people congested.
"Archmage, we can't get in, and many residents of the towns around Vanna City have rushed to worship today when they hear that the Children of Light are coming. The groom said, "Or let's wait, and the crowd disperses in the afternoon." You should be able to get in. He looked at the dense crowd in front of him.
All the worshippers enclose the cathedral up several floors, and only the front can see people coming in and out.
"You stay here and wait for me, and I'll be back soon. After saying that, Wang Cuo bent down, and a burst of black mist turned into a raven and flew up.
"What's that? Oh my God. I just saw a man turn into a crow?"
"It's rare and weird, that's our Archmage of Vanna City, a man with supernatural magic. "It seems that Wang Cuo's spell performance yesterday also left a deep impression on the people, and his fame has attracted more attention than before.
With the help of a pair of raven's eyes, he could see that the people below were looking up to cheer for him, some of them shouting his name. It's like a folk idol.
As I got closer, it felt indescribable, oppressive, restless, and it seemed as if something was holding me back. But Wang Cuo is a magician after all, as long as he swings his ability to rush forward, this feeling disappears.
The flapping of wings stops at the opening of the window on the second floor of the cathedral, which is open...... Inside is a domed auditorium. On the second floor, he could see the queues coming and going, and the Staff of Light was placed in front of the statue at the front of the church. The light it emitted from itself shone almost the entire hall. Everyone who came to worship knelt before it and said it silently...... Then he washed his palms in the gold-carved basin next to him, and then took the leaves he placed in the other basin and scooped a little water to drink, and finally left happily.
Everyone followed the same action, and the priests of the cathedral were in charge of pouring holy water into the basin, and there was no figure of Essorda.
It's so slow, I don't know how long I'll have to wait if I have to. Thinking that there was still a large group of people outside, he shook his head helplessly.
On the second floor, there is only a circular corridor where footsteps can be heard.
"Archmage, I didn't expect you to come so soon, welcome to the cathedral. ”
It was Essoda who had come up, and he had seen it almost from the moment the raven flew in. Because the cathedral is protected by a guardian orb, simple flying animals cannot enter, and they can only enter on foot, and if they must fly, they must have magical abilities to enter.
Therefore, the only one who can fly in must be the [Arcane] archmage in Vanna City.
Wang Cuo flew to the ground, his body gradually became larger, and his feathers and wings slowly degenerated...... Even after seeing it once, Essoda was still shocked by the magic.
Turning into a human form and bowing to Essorda, "Hello, Your Excellency the Child of Light. Take the liberty of interrupting!"
"I invited you here, and I should say thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule. There are a lot of people here, so let's talk about it later. Essorda invited the king to walk to the back of the cathedral...... Behind the Basilica is a beautiful garden.
Wearing a gorgeous pure white gift, Essoda exudes a noble temperament in every word and deed...... It's just that this kind of contrived way of expression is not cold to them.
"Today I invite the Archmage to come. At first, I think there may be some unpleasant experiences between us, but in the future, I will be based in Vanna City, as the youngest and most gifted archmage in the city, and I hope that our delay will not affect our relationship in the future. He smiled and walked to a pavilion in the garden, where there was freshly heated fragrant tea on the table. Apparently carefully prepared.
"Drink, Archmage, this is the special fragrant leaf I brought from the imperial capital, you can taste it. ”
Wang Cuo took a sip, and the fragrance was indeed special.
"Good tea, good tea. ”
Elsoda laughed and said, "If the archmage thinks it's good, I'll ask someone to prepare one and send it directly to my home later." ”
"Then I will thank His Excellency the Child of Light for his tea. Wang Cuo also smiled, receiving gifts in social networking is also a way of understanding and seeking peace, the other party invited himself today to directly express his willingness to seek peace, and there must be pressure from the city lord's mansion behind it.
It seems that Torre Roswell did a lobbyist for himself last night.
"Well said, well said. The thank-you gift also means that the previous matter is written off, and Essoda is happy. "Well, after I saw the magic of the archmage yesterday, I was convinced for the first time that the magic field is really bottomless. A magician with such a high level of attainment like the Archmage must have had a great background before, right?"
Come and ask the details?
It's just that I don't know if it's his own will behind it, or the temptation of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Hahaha, what's the name. Wang snorted and looked thoughtful. "In the early years, I traveled with the sages and traveled to many places. Barbarian borders in the south, deep in the Kampas Mountains or Lankish borders in the north. I've studied a lot of interesting spells, and I'd like to go again if I have the chance. He said casually, but deliberately revealed a lot of information.
"I didn't expect the archmage to have been to so many places. Essoda showed a yearning look, "I should ask for more advice when I have time in the future." ”
I don't know if it's true, but after listening to the introduction compiled by Wang Cuo, Essoda seems to have increased his respect for himself.
"One more thing, I hope to have the help of the Archmage as well. He took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"What's the matter?"
Essoda looked around and felt relieved before answering.
"Yesterday ......," the voice was still quiet, "Yesterday I noticed that the Staff of Light was moving, and the Archmage may not know that the Staff of Light, like the Orb of Guardians, will warn if it encounters a threat. It was like that yesterday, so I think there must be dark forces hiding in the city. ”
"And what are you going to do?" thought to himself, but fortunately he had already let Andrea leave Vanna City.
"I'm going to purge this dark force in the dark, but I can't alarm anyone else...... I didn't report this matter to the City Lord's Mansion. Essolda said.
Wang Cuo looked at him strangely, this kind of thing was not reported to the city lord, did he want to do it alone? But there is no need, organizing everyone to work together and being led by him can better reflect the identity of the son of light.
Or did he have other intentions?
"Rest assured, archmage, I just don't want to panic the inhabitants of Vanna City until I'm sure, after all, the city has just recovered from the claws of the dark forces. Essoda seemed to notice the other party's confusion and hurriedly explained.
"How do you want me to help you?"
"It's very simple, if it's just a small force, I can handle it alone, but if it's a force like 'Stargazer' and 'Witch Order', I can't stand it alone, so I need an archmage to take care of it. Although Isoda's words are very reasonable, Wang Cuo always feels that it is not so simple.
"Why don't you ask Grand Mentor Uzrien for help?"
"Ha, it would be best if you could invite him, but the magic of the Great Mentor is more strong, not as flexible as yours, and as the strongest mage in the city. Every step of the Great Mentor may be detected by the other party. So only you are the best fit. ”
It seems that the other party is determined that he wants to help, and Wang Cuo agreed.
Essora's invitation to come to the Cathedral of the Light was for these two things...... After the conversation, Wang Cuo excused the request to dine together with the bank. He didn't want to stay in this depressing place for a moment.
On the way back, Wang was thinking. It seems that the new head of the cathedral is going to make a big move, and he should also find a way to improve his strength. Otherwise, you won't be able to deal with the bigger crisis!
Adventurer's Hall...... He returned to the bank and saw the magnificent building in front of him, and he had a plan in mind.
