Chapter 3 The first day of the course
After this, the 65th Pope St. Valentine II presided over the revision of the glorious calendar, and the continent was officially renamed the Continent of the Holy Spirit. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe name of the Holy Spirit comes from the War of the Firmament, and of course, the world also calls this war the war of gods and demons. After this war of annihilation, the current continental pattern was gradually formed. Your Highness, Your Highness, are you listening?"
"Ahh Alan raised his head and said with hazy eyes looking at an old man across the table.
"Hey, Your Highness the Holy Son, can you repeat what I said earlier about the history of the continent before the glorious calendar?"
"Before the glorious calendar, what was it before, this ...... Hehe. "Alan is really a little helpless, he thought about it all night last night, and he was called up to class before dawn today, talking about this boring history of the mainland, listening to him drowsy, he was not a diligent and studious person, and it was normal to doze off.
"Your Highness, you have a heavy responsibility, and now that time is so short, you must seize all the time......" Seeing the old man's expression, Alan couldn't help but shrink his shoulders. Originally, he had made up his mind to be this holy son, but he didn't expect this first lesson to be so terrifying. This old priest named Luo Ta actually came to teach him a book thicker than Ci Hai, and started from the era of gods, and after a morning, he finally heard the word Holy Spirit Continent.
"Yes, it's because time is tight that we should get to the point, and let's skip the history that is too far away. Alan said.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, if you don't even know the history of the mainland, how will you inherit the throne in the future!"
"It's not that I don't learn, but I just want to learn modern first, and it's not too late to learn those histories that are too far away when I have time in the future. ”
Lotta looked at Allen and said helplessly: "I'll go and report to His Majesty the Pope, let the crown make a decision." With that, he got up and left.
......
Soon, Alan saw Edward IV again, and the Pope smiled kindly at Allen, "It's good that you have your own ideas, I think you can completely teach yourself these courses in continental history and geography." So, what are you most interested in learning?"
Alan didn't expect the Pope to be so talkative, he thought for a moment and said, "I want to learn magic!"
"Magic?" the Pope was stunned for a moment, "There are many books on magic within the Holy See, but most of them are incomplete, and since the fall of the elemental god Orimu, the elemental riot of heaven and earth, no one can perform magic anymore." If you want to do some research on ancient magic, you can't do it, but it doesn't really make sense. ”
Alan was stunned, there could be such a speechless thing, and the career he had been thinking about was over. "What about the magic arts, this is always there, I've seen the Grand Priest of Manto use it. "I took the time to ask Elaine last night, and learned that Manto used the power of magic to make him unconscious.
The Pope smiled, "There are magic skills, and when you receive the Holy Light at the age of sixteen, you will awaken, and then you can explore it on your own." ”
''Oh my God, after being baptized and awakening naturally, can I only be a god stick with peace of mind?'' Alan was unwilling, holding on to his last hope and asked, "Then can I learn martial arts?"
"Well, it's not impossible, but I'm afraid there's nothing you need to charge into, it's good to use it to strengthen your body, and you're really thin. ”
"Grandpa Pope, what is the level of the most powerful martial arts master right now?" Alan asked with the last expectation.
"That should be regarded as the martial king of the Divine Dragon Empire, he once fought a grizzly bear with his bare hands. The Pope smiled and said casually.
Allen's face instantly collapsed after hearing this, he thought that he could become a generation of powerhouses, and go to heaven and earth across the continent, who knew that his dream would be empty, and it seemed that he could only be a god stick.
The Pope saw that Alan was not in high spirits, and said with relief: "The disappearance of the magic elements of heaven and earth has also caused many powerful martial arts to be unusable, so you don't need to be too disappointed. Since you are interested in practicing martial arts, then from today onwards, go to the garden every day after lunch, and I will help you find a good teacher. ”
Alan agreed, and walked out of the hall where the Pope had summoned him. Outside the hall, under the light of the midday sun, some of the depression in Allen's heart was somewhat dispelled, and the Pope had promised to let him study history and geography on his own, and that he would not have to continue to face the old scholar of Lotta, which was the only good news this morning.
After wandering aimlessly for a while, I couldn't help but think of Elaine's figure, I didn't see her early this morning, but I missed her a lot, so Alan decided to have lunch with Elaine.
At this time, in the middle of the main hall, the Pope suddenly said to the empty hall: "What do you think of the Holy Son?"
Behind the statue came a man in a white robe, "some intelligence, but his bones are full of laziness and carelessness, as if he took all this as child's play." ”
"If I ask you to teach him, do you have faith?"
"Ha, just play with him, otherwise life will be too boring. By the way, you found out nothing. ”
"Well, I've basically locked up a few people, but I still have to check carefully, you have too little information, Les. ”
"I just happened to encounter it, but I haven't been in the Holy See for the past few years, and this church is getting more and more unclean, and His Holiness the Pope needs to review it. Rice teased with a laugh.
"There's no way, it's forced by the situation. The Pope replied with a smile.
Les looked at Edward IV, although there was a smile in the eyes of the two of them, but there seemed to be something hidden behind the smile, Les nodded, and also walked out of the main hall.
At this time, Alan was sitting opposite Elaine enjoying lunch, and the many clergy around him looked at the two from time to time and whispered something.
"Your Highness, you shouldn't dine here, it's not in accordance with etiquette. Elaine's face flushed a little, unable to maintain that calm look any longer, and she noticed that as time went on, more and more people looked at her and Allen.
"Does it matter, I can eat wherever I like!"
Alan looked at Elaine's increasingly red face and thought, "What is the relationship between the two of us, I pretended to be cold last night, and now I can't pretend to be cold." ”
Elaine is beautiful and lovely, coupled with those fragrant pictures in his memory, so that Alan has regarded this little nun as his own, but as a first-time lover, he doesn't know how to pursue a girl at all, just like at this moment, Alan doesn't feel that what he is doing now makes Elaine a little embarrassed, but thinks that his relationship with Elaine has gone further.
Although Elaine is kind, she has not been a blank slate since she was raised in an orphanage. As the news of the Son's recovery of sanity spread, early this morning, many people who had left the Son asked to come back, but the Pope did not agree, but instead made himself the "great steward" of the Son. You must know that in today's Holy See, the Pope is respected, the Holy Son is second, and Alan is definitely the successor of the Pope, which makes the identity of the Son of God butler comparable to the archbishop, and he is too young and beautiful, which has led to a lot of rumors in the church, and now Allen's move is undoubtedly equivalent to pushing himself to the cusp.
Since Allen's recovery, Elaine does have some strange feelings for this holy son who is six years younger than herself, but she knows that she can't do anything about it, and she has buried this feeling in her heart, everything that happened at this time made Elaine feel infinitely wronged, and the whispers around her seemed to be getting louder and louder, and the gaze cast became more and more unkind.
"Look, it's her, climbing on the Son's bed. "How powerful people are, the Holy Son ...... when he was a fool" Elaine only felt that these words kept pouring into her mind from all directions.
Alan looked at Elaine's face on the other side turned from red to white, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?" As soon as these words came out, the people around seemed to be convinced of something, and became a little unscrupulous. Alan felt that the atmosphere around him was wrong, and before he could ask, Elaine had already run out of the cafeteria quickly, leaving two crystal lines of water behind her.
By the time Eren chased him out of the cafeteria, Elaine was gone. Poor Alan had no idea what was going on, why Elaine suddenly ran away crying, and had the heart to ask her to understand, but it was too late, so he could only keep the matter in his heart first, and hurried to the garden.
The elusive Les emerged from behind the roadside flower beds, he touched his chin, stared at Alan's distant back, and smiled evilly, "This kid is really untrained to make such a beautiful girl cry, it's unforgivable." ”
On the other hand, Elaine returned to her room, the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, even if some people in the sect were sneering, His Royal Highness the Holy Son was still helping at such a time, I am afraid that she will soon become a thorn in the side of some people. Elaine made her decision, she wiped away her tears and walked towards the temple.
"His Majesty the Pope, His Royal Highness the Holy Son has recovered, and I don't need to be taken care of by anyone, I am not capable enough, I'm afraid I can't ......" That's right, Elaine's thought of the way was to resign directly from the position of the chief butler, and before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Pope.
"Elaine, I know your intentions and the reasons for your decision, but it's better for you to listen to me before you decide whether or not you really want to leave the Son. ”
Elaine did not expect such a reaction from the Pope, so she had to wait and see.
Seeing that Elaine was gradually calming down, the Pope spoke slowly.
"The Son is in danger right now. ”
Elaine was startled, and was about to speak, when she saw the Pope wave her hand, motioning for her to listen to herself continue,
"There is definite information that there are people within the Holy See who are working against the Son, and that yesterday's events were the result of one of their failed actions. It's impossible to tell exactly how many people are involved. And some people, even if they have nothing to do with this matter, are just some people who tend to be inflammatory, and only you have been taking care of the Holy Son, and in the current situation, only you can reassure me. Besides, although the Holy Son has recovered, he has not been in contact with others for so many years, and his current behavior is already very surprising, and it is normal for him to be more attached to you. ”
Edward IV paused, looked at Elaine, and spoke again, "So, what is your choice now?"
