What the cardinal said next, Alan couldn't listen. He didn't really care about the position of the deacon, and the reason for his annoyance was that Pachelel had deceived him......

Except for Allen's gloomy face, the rest of the mages who were ordained were all happy.

The canonization ceremony was soon over, and Cardinal Balik closed the canon and walked away slowly.

Alan stood up at this time, and he looked at Pachelaire angrily, trying to go to Pachelaire to ask him for an explanation, but Palielle walked past him and caught up with Barrick in front of him. As Pachelaire walked in front of him, Alan noticed that Pachelaire was also looking angry. Something came to mind, and Alan didn't catch up.

In the main hall, the clergy and the spectators were celebrating those who had been ordained, and although Pachelel ran away, Pachelaire had always acted resolutely, and the crowd did not think she was rude. And there are so many people at the scene who have been sealed, and the same is true for these people to congratulate. As for Pachelaire, you can congratulate her again at the dinner.

There was laughter and talk everywhere in the temple, and Alan sat quietly alone, no matter who came to talk to him, he was perfunctory, and he looked like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away, and he seemed out of place with the people around him.

On the other side, Barrick returned to his office. He had scarcely sat down for a few seconds before Pachillel followed.

"Oh, Pachelel, what's the matter...... By the way, congratulations first. When you become a Templar, your burden is much heavier. "Barrick's hair is white, his facial features are hard, and he has a sense of not being angry and arrogant when he speaks.

Pachelaire ignored Barrick's congratulations, she propped her hand on the table, looked directly at Barrick, and said, "Lord Barrick, what happened just now?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm referring to Alan. Didn't you say that Alan would be appointed as a deacon?Why was his position the captain when the appointment was issued just now?" Pachelaire was very angry in her heart, and she also talked to the Pope about Paulan as a deacon last night, but she didn't expect that it had only passed overnight, but this was the result!

Balik had long known what Pachelaire was coming for. Pachelaire's angry look didn't make him feel pressured, after all, Pachelaire was only a Templar, and he was a cardinal, and his strength and position were one level higher than Pachelaire.

"Oh, that's what you mean. Let Alan be the captain, that's what I mean. ”

"What do you mean?

"Whether it is a white-clothed deacon or a black-clothed deacon, the first requirement for being ordained is the seventh order. Eren is only in the early stage of the sixth order, right? and he is still a newcomer, which he has not met. ”

"There are exceptions to the provisions. Alan was able to defeat Ikael and Macaulay, and although his rank was only sixth-order, his actual combat ability was no less than that of ordinary seventh-order masters. ”

"I've heard that Eren was able to defeat Ikael because Ikael underestimated him and let him attack first, so he was suppressed. And the reason why Macaulay failed was because of Allen's sneak attack...... Allen's real strength is actually far less brilliant than his record. Bharrick said slowly, holding the teacup in his hand.

"Eren is a combat mage, he defeated the Dark Councilor at the peak of the sixth order when he first advanced to the fifth order, and he is a dark councilor with two undead puppets to protect him! Now, he can defeat the deacon of the mage guild......"

"He was able to defeat that Dark Councillor by sneak attack, didn't he?" said Barrick, smiling faintly.

Pachelaire clenched his fists: "But Eren has won after all! Moreover, Eren has a strong talent and will have a great future in the future, not only me, but even Lord Ye Luo thinks so." If the Mage Guild can promote Ikael exceptionally, why can't we promote Eren exceptionally?"

When Barrick heard the word 'Ye Luo', his expression moved slightly, and then he smiled and said, "When Ikael became a deacon, his strength was also in the late sixth order, right?"

Pachillel was about to speak again, but Barrick stretched out his hand to stop her, and continued, "And Ikael was promoted by winning a hundred battles, but Allen's record is ......"

"But Alan was co-opted by me, and I told him that he could at least have the position of deacon......" Pachelaire was not good at words, and Barrick retorted to her several times, forcing her to hurry, and she began to speak without thinking.

Sure enough, Barrick's face turned unhappy when he heard this, and he said solemnly: "Pachelel! The temple is not anyone's private property, how can you make such a guarantee!"

Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Pachelaire shut her mouth again, but her breathing became heavy, apparently suppressing her anger.

When Balik saw her like this, he suddenly smiled again: "Didn't you say that Allen's talent is good and he will have a good future? Now I just gave him the captain according to the regulations, and I didn't mean to go against him." When his strength reaches the seventh order, he can go to the assessment to become a deacon by himself. Becoming a deacon with real skills will not cause people to gossip. If he had been appointed a deacon now, not only would people chew their tongues, but even he himself would not have cherished this office that had come so easily. Moreover, the position of deacon is so high that he is likely to be proud and complacent in such an important position at such a young age, and he will be deposed instead of being a good seedling. ”

Barrick said so much, which meant that Alan would not be allowed to serve as a deacon, but he also gave such a high-sounding reason! Pachelaire was not good at words, and was choked by Barrick in his heart. She finally shook her hand in hatred and was about to go to the Pope for an explanation.

As if he knew what she was thinking, Barrick smiled faintly behind him: "Pachelaire, this is not only me, but His Holiness the Pope also supports my point of view. ”

"Good, good!" said Pachelaire coldly with his back to Balik.

It wasn't until Pachilael had left that Barrick's smile darkened.

"Ye Luo also thinks that Alan will have a great future? When Ye Luo said about the future, does he mean to be an ascetic like him!"

At the beginning, the fourth cardinal of the church was Ye Luo, and later Ye Luo gave the Heart of Light to the seriously injured Pachelaire, causing his strength to fall back to the first order, and Barrick was able to take the opportunity to squeeze Ye Luo.

Ye Luo has never resented Barrick, and Barrick also respects Ye Luo on the surface, but behind the scenes, Barrick has always had an inexplicable hatred for Ye Luo. He subconsciously always felt that someone was talking about him behind him, saying that he was not as good as Ye Luo, and it was Ye Zhi's strength that had declined, so he could come up as an alternative. He also felt that some people said that it was the great sage Ye Luo that he squeezed out, saying that he would only play tricks and had no strength......

"Hmph. Snorted for no reason, and Barrick was in a very uncomfortable mood.

Feeling a little irritable, he opened the drawer and pulled out a box.

It was a crystal box with a palm-sized gray feather inside. The feathers are soft and shiny, with fine downfeathers on them. The edges of the feathers have turned completely black, but a large area in the middle is still gray, and near the veins, it is pale red.

Looking at this feather, Barrick's mood was instantly relieved.

This is the feather of the 'finch fox'.

The finch fox belongs to the relics of the sacred beast Vermilion Bird, and has a very powerful bloodline supernatural power. More than 100 years ago, there was a finch fox causing chaos in Pompeii, and dozens of masters could not defeat it. In the end, though, it was killed by the water sanctuary mage Talasia using a spell that cost his life.

Barrick had read the information of the fox in the canon, which said that it was difficult for the fox to really die, and that they had the same magical powers as the Suzaku and could be resurrected from the fire. The key to resurrection is feathers. Their feathers automatically absorb the power of fire, and they hide their souls in their feathers before they die, and if they absorb enough power, they can be reborn.

The feather in Barrick's hand was the feather of the finch fox he had managed to find.

"Reborn from the fire?" said Bharrick, placing his palm on the crystal.

He unleashed a 'flame of light', and the feathers in the crystal instantly absorbed the power of the flame......

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Barrick's expression moved, and then he slowly put the crystal stone away again.

After seeing the visitor, he frowned and said, "Michelle, if you don't go to cultivate at this time, what are you doing here?"

"Father, I just saw Pachelaire coming......"

"Pachelaire, she's not happy with my appointment of Allen as captain, and wants to come to me for an explanation. ”

"And what do you say?" asked Michelle, a little nervous.

Barrick pouted disdainfully: "Of course I'm sticking to my own judgment. The allusion of the tiger father and dog son is already a well-known thing! Allen's talent is very ordinary! Now that his cultivation has improved, he does not rely on pills and elemental spirits? Is this his real strength? If such a person is allowed to become the deacon of our mage team, what will outsiders think of us? Moreover, Alan is young and vigorous, brave and ruthless, and as soon as he came to Yanjing, he got into trouble with the mage union. Isn't it a dream to include such a person in the mage team? If it weren't for the fact that the recommenders were Pachelaire and Ye Luo, it would be impossible for Alan to even enter the mage team! It would be very good to be a captain for him, and he wanted to be a deacon? This is a dream! If you have the ability, you can join the mage team by yourself, what kind of ability is it to rely on the recommendation of others?"

Michelle finally breathed a sigh of relief, he had been worried that Barrick would be persuaded by Pachelaire......

"That's what you're here for?" said Balik, looking at his son.

Michelle nodded.

Balik's face suddenly became gloomy, and he reprimanded, "Don't go and cultivate quickly! You only became a seventh-order mage in your thirties, this is a very good talent, don't waste your talent!"

Michelle was excited and hurriedly retired......
