Chapter XXVII
As long as anyone with a discerning eye can see that Melmon's trick is to abandon the car and protect the handsome. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Rushumar took it upon himself to kill Bert, and if he still tried to protect him desperately at this time, then this matter may not end so easily. Although Melmon has a bad temper, he can't become a supreme magic class like a magister without a fairly high IQ.
Because the ring was destroyed and the incident was very serious, the competition between Erin and Blaney was postponed by a day. Bert was sent to the Water Academy. As for Russimard, after a simple rescue, the water magician directly gave up the treatment with his own likes and dislikes. On the same day, he was informed that his family was carrying it away.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the continent, in a splendid palace.
"Your Excellency Abby, His Majesty the Pope, please. A priest in white knocked on Abby's door.
Since escaping from the Malegobi, Abby has traveled day and night, but it took more than half a month to arrive at Vatican City, the headquarters of the Holy Patriarchate, and was arranged to rest at the headquarters of the Holy See after being informed of the specific matters. But it coincided with the Pope's diplomacy abroad, and Abby had to stay in the Holy See first. Due to the seriousness of the situation, the three cardinals immediately dispatched three of the most elite Templar squads to secure Abby's residence. At the same time, the priests of the second rank and above in the city are on standby at any time, and everything is carried out according to the time of war.
After waiting for more than a week, after receiving the notice, the Pope immediately stopped his diplomatic trip and rushed back in the starry night.
The wait was long, and in the more than a week, Abby barely left the room in order to protect the jade pendant. Although she was in the Holy See and heavily guarded outside the door, Abby could hardly sleep at night. I don't know what happened to the master and the Pengamu mage, the Holy See has sent a team of paladins deep into Lop Nur to find their traces.
As soon as Abby, who had been suffocating in the room, heard that the Pope had returned, she immediately followed the priest out of the room, and the Templars scattered around quickly gathered to follow.
Walking through the various courtyards, Abby arrived in the Chamber of the Holy See, where four elderly men were talking. The first one, dressed in white robes and wearing a white skullcap, is supposed to be the Pope, God's spokesman. The other three red robes were the three cardinal archbishops I had seen before.
Abby, who had just been promoted to the rank of Paladin, was a little overwhelmed, he had seen thousands of people worship the Pope in Vatican City before, and he was also a believer kneeling there. It's just that now the Pope is only far away from him, and the words he prepared have long been forgotten.
The Pope also saw the boy and smiled and beckoned to him. Seeing that Abby was still stunned, the priest secretly pulled his hand. The young man came back to his senses, clasped his left hand on his right chest, and slowly knelt down.
"Get up. "Pope St. Peter III was a very kind man. It has a very good reputation in the Holy See, and there is no papal shelf at all.
Abby took out the jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to the Pope with both hands.
"Your Majesty, is this a yin-yang fish jade pendant?" exclaimed a cardinal.
Even the well-informed Pope gasped deeply. Stretched out his hand and took the jade pendant, the black fish noodles felt a little cold in his hand, but when the hand touched the white fish noodles, it was warm. There is no joint between the two fish, which means that the two fish are not artificially combined.
"I'm afraid it's the Yin Yang Fish Jade Pendant, this thing comes from the Ancient Oriental Continent. As for why it appeared on our continent, I don't know the specifics. But in the Bible, it is written that these are two extremes. The Pope slowly explained in detail to the few people present.
"It doesn't matter if this thing is good or bad, it can be good or bad, yang or yin. The bad guys holding it will be controlled by its shadowy fish, thus forming a bloody storm. But the good people hold it, and the fish on the sunny side will provide infinite and huge energy. ”
Hearing this, the cardinal archbishop made a suggestion: "Then please ask His Majesty the Pope to keep this thing, with His Majesty's wisdom and skill, he will be able to lead our religion to carry forward." ”
The Pope vetoed it on the spot: "This thing is an artifact, and it is divine will to land here." Those who are destined for him will naturally have access to him, and all we can do now is keep it for the time being according to God's instructions. ”
And all the people were silent, and the husband was not guilty, but he was guilty. This thing will cause chaos no matter who it falls into, and only the Holy Patriarchate, where the religion of the world is located, can have the ability to keep it. Moreover, the Holy See's free secrecy mechanism also prevents the leakage of information.
"I'm afraid something big is going to happen. "The artifact was born for no reason, and even if it was eventually held by a virtuous person, it would inevitably rewrite the situation on the entire continent.
"Your Majesty, I request to follow the second team to Lop Nur to investigate. Abby suddenly fell to one knee, breaking the silence in the chamber.
The Pope glanced at him, and the young man's face was full of determination. "You have more important tasks, I want to send you as an envoy to the Oslan Empire and the Satya Empire. ”
Abby thought she had misheard, and secretly glanced at the three archbishops, also with a puzzled expression. Generally, civilian officials are sent to other countries, especially the two military powers, and they are generally at the level of cardinal archbishops to be qualified to take on this important task. Ordinary military officials only accompany them at most, and besides, he is still a paladin who has just been promoted.
"You are the party to this matter, and you go more convincing than anyone else. Your task is to remind countries to put aside their immediate conflicts of interest and wait patiently for their fate. ”
In the hearts of all believers, the word of the Pope is the word of God, and no one will disobey it. Abby buckled her chest, "Do as my god commands." ”
"For the second team, I'll send a Templar to lead the team, so you can rest assured. "The Templars are the highest rank in the Holy See, and there are only ten of them, all of whom have special skills, and only the Pope has the right to give them a task. With a Templar on the way, the success rate of the mission will skyrocket.
Abby let go of her worries and bowed and exited the chamber.
"Why did Your Majesty send a newly promoted paladin to accomplish such an important task?" Abby brought the door to the door, and the cardinal archbishop raised the doubt in his heart.
The Pope stood up, facing the statue of the God of Light behind him. "I think this matter has something to do with him in the dark, maybe it's fate. And I don't think it has anything to do with the Oslan Empire. It's said that they're working on some kind of big magic, and I'm afraid that one day a war will break out and cause human beings to be destroyed. ”
In recent years, the border friction between the Oslan Empire and the Satya Empire has intensified, and both countries have amassed a large number of military forces on the border. The grievances between the great powers are no longer something that these small religious states can stop, and they only hope to postpone the war as much as possible or keep it between armies.
Abby went back to her room and began to pack her things, she was leaving for the Oslan Empire tomorrow, and the last time she was there was with Kane. Abby's vision was blurred, and each paladin would only take one apprentice in his life, and in the same way, each paladin would only worship one person as a teacher in his life. Each mission is based on a two-person team, and this feeling of mentorship and friendship makes the two give each other their backs in complete trust in battle.
Abby sighed, he had been disappointed for a long time when he heard that he could not apprentice Celtic. It wasn't until later that Kane came to the door and asked to take little Abby away, for the next ten years. Leaving her parents, Abby followed the paladin, who was her father's contemporary, to help the poor, and the radiance of mercy always shrouded him. He had long regarded Kane as his father.
Abby thought of the three teenagers she met in Lisbon at that time, Bert, who was silent but stood up for someone she didn't know, Erin, who was beautiful and moving, and Frank, who had different views but knew how to repay him. I don't know how they're doing now, but they can see each other again. And now there's only a month left until the magic convention.
At this time, Bert had just woken up, and in his dreams he dreamed of the village of Mino, his father, and the smell of wine. There is also Eileen who smiles like a flower in the sun, a pale blue robe that flies while running, and long black hair that is as soft as flowing water in the sun. Eventually, the dream vanished in a whirlpool.
Laboriously opened his eyes, and the girl in the dream sat in front of him, and there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes. I feel like I've been asleep for a long time, but I'm still sleepy.
Seeing that Bert was awake, Erin hurried to call the others. As soon as he stood up, his hand was grabbed. As soon as Erin turned around, Bert was dragging her.
"I'll call you master. Erin comforted Bert.
Bert shook his head, "Did I lose? Master, his old man should be angry with me, right? Bert, who had just woken up, felt a burning pain in his throat, reminding him of the battle with Rusiumar.
"No, you won, you beat Ruschumar to the point of vomiting blood. Your master has to challenge Melmon for you. Bert suddenly woke up, and Lan Dao was actually going to challenge Melmont?! Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly felt a pain all over his body, and almost fell out of bed.
Erin hurriedly helped Bert and pressed him back to the bed, "Don't worry, Melmont didn't agree, he apologized to your master and you in front of the whole academy." ”
As if he had just woken up and had auditory hallucinations, Melmont would apologize? Maybe it was more likely that he would commit suicide.
"How many days have I been asleep, how is your game?" Bert regained his spirits after a moment of scare.
"Of course I won, and I don't look at who I am haha. The girl's silver-bell-like laughter attracted many people. Lan Dao also stood in the doorway.
"Awake?" "Hmm. The two looked at each other speechlessly, both with doubts in their hearts, but neither of them spoke.
"The rules of this year's Magic Contest may have to be changed. Lan Dao still opened his mouth first.
"Huh, how?" asked Erin.
"I don't know exactly how to change it, the dean went to discuss with the magicians of other countries today, this year Songhai will not participate in the competition, there are only three countries left. In this way, there are only nine contestants, and it is not good to compete. The dean will be notified of the details when he returns. Both of you are well prepared, there is still a month to go. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Good. ”
