Inside the four-house arena, players prepare for the corridor outside. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The members of the two college teams of Loris National Academy and Guangming Academy were instructed by their respective captains to go to the preparation room to rest and wait, while the two captains stayed in the corridor near the door.

Cheruth looked up at the boy in front of her—no, she should call it youth now.

Meow, I haven't found out before I crossed, why do boys grow so fast...... Well, in fact, she also knows that it is because she has never been tall that she seems to be jumping fast.

Discovering a truth that wasn't news, Chelus suddenly felt a little painful.

Rayk didn't know that Chelus was still thinking about something that would be boring in his head at such a time, and after three years, this fire genius candidate didn't change much in appearance, except that he had grown taller and his facial features had become much more mature.

However, his temperament has changed a lot.

“...... Okay, what's the matter?"

There is indifference in the plainness, this kind of coldness is different from Robert's more like pretending to be cool today, it is completely a feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away, and habitually exuding vigilance and hostility towards anything that takes the initiative to approach.

If Rayke's words and deeds three years ago seemed very arrogant and conceited, like a sharp sword, then today's Rayke is more like a cold light dagger immersed in darkness, obviously the main attribute is fire, and he has minored in both molten and blazing magic, but just from the perspective of his popularity, Rayrk is so gloomy today that it is completely like people's impression of those traditional dark magicians.

However, Chelus didn't care, she had heard about the reason Relker was the way he was, more or less when she was chatting with Raphael with the Communication Stone.

Three years ago, due to a huge plot between Tafel the Changer and the Chaos-tainted Wissinger, the Cult of Solan and the Holy City of Solan were chosen by two conspirators because of their strongest faith power in modern times, and became the victims of their plot.

The entire Holy City was destroyed in that disaster, and almost all the teachers and students of the Solan Bright Academy, the original number one school in the south of the continent, were also wiped out in that disaster.

Relke was a lucky exception, as at the time of the disaster, Ralke did not happen to be in Solan Holy City. Although he was a candidate for the Flame Branch of the Cult of Solan at the time, Relk was not a well-established follower of Solan like Raphael, his father was a lord of a Dominion in the western part of the Holy Kingdom of Solan, and he escaped the disaster by returning to his home to visit his parents in the days of the disaster.

However, while he was lucky not to have experienced this catastrophe, the destruction of the Cult of Solan was not something for Rayk to be happy about. The destruction of the Solan Bright Academy, which provided him with the best faculty and academy environment in the entire south, was secondary, and the most important thing was that the status he had originally gained in the Solan Cult was also over.

The Solan Divine Cult's Flame Faith has been suppressed by the Light Faith for hundreds of years, and in addition to retaining its own power and influence in the Fire God Temple in the Holy City, it does not have its own chapters in various places like the Light Faith at all. After the catastrophe in the Holy City, the Light Faith still has many remnants of forces and believers in various branches, but the Vulcan Faith is really completely broken, and the entire Fire God Temple, from the two great elders of Lilde and Ramo to the lowest level of the Fire God sacrifices, almost all died in the Holy City.

Originally, he was not an orthodox Solan believer, but at the beginning, he valued Rayrk's fire talent, and he was forced to bring him to the Cult of Fire to shape him into the second son of the Flame Saint, and all the people in the Fire God Temple went to see the God of Fire, and Ralk became a child who was "abandoned and forgotten by the organization" overnight, and he didn't even know if he would still think that if he responded to Red's call in the name of Raphael to join them, would anyone still regard him as a member of the Cult of Solan.

From the respected pride of the sky to the original uncared for country master, this gap almost made Rayrk, who has been above the top since he began to learn magic, completely degenerate, although the Solan Cult of God that has temporarily ended with internal and external turmoil has once again rebuilt the Solan Bright Academy and recalled Rayke, the most talented and famous genius in the original academy, but because the Vulcan faith has existed in name only, no one has mentioned his candidate for the Flame Saint Son。

The current Rayrk, although he is still an out-and-out young genius who was promoted to the fifth order at the age of 18, but his status in other aspects is completely unable to speak of the same as before, in the rebuilt Solan Divine Cult, the identity of this young genius can be described as extremely embarrassing, and the Solan Divine Sect, which lost the original Pope and other top powerhouses three years ago, is naturally unwilling to easily throw away Rayrk, a high-quality stock that has a great chance of becoming a new generation of law powerhouses in the future, but in fact, Rayrk's background also makes the Divine Sect dare not invest too much trust in him。

You must know that three years ago, when the Solan Divine Cult was in turmoil, most of the autonomous territories in the original Solan Divine Kingdom did not continue their previous way of glorifying the Solan Divine Cult and the Holy National Anthem, and either they could not wait to throw themselves into the arms of the Lothar Alliance, the Prud Empire, and the princes of the Phoenix Kingdom extending from the east, or they simply declared their independence and then claimed to be a prince. In fact, Relke's father has rumored more than once in the past three years that he has a private vassal agreement with the Bloodspear Tribe, the second largest force in the Lothar Alliance, although he himself has always claimed that he is a supporter of the Cult of Solan and a worshipper of the legendary Pope Hanik, and will not renegade the sacred covenant when the Holy Kingdom was established hundreds of years ago, but this does not make the Cult of Solan, which has experienced a series of heavy blows during this period of time, completely relieved of his son.

Losing his backer and status, his embarrassing position in the current Divine Cult is more just being cultivated as a pure super peripheral thug, and at the same time, his father, who is full of loyalty to the Solan Divine Cult, has also hinted many times in his family letters that if Relke himself is unwilling to stay on the broken ship of the Solan Divine Cult, their family has completely found a way out...... It's no wonder that Rayrc has become what he is now, but at least he is stronger than those greenhouse geniuses who were directly defeated by the cruel reality, although his temperament has changed greatly, but judging from the performance of this year's Four Chambers Competition, his talent is finally not decadent and dusty with his own efforts.

You must know that it has not been even three years since the completion of the new Guangming Academy, and the postponement of the four-academy competition for one year is precisely because last winter, the newly built Guangming Academy could not even come up with a team that could compete in the senior group competition. In this year's four-house competition, the main team of the seminary was actually only participated by Rayker, a veteran who was only counted as a fifth-year student of the seminary, and five children who had just been promoted to the third grade of the seminary. And it was such a team that no one was optimistic about, and it was also stunned that Rayker was forced to pull to the third place in the points by himself, and unexpectedly squeezed the Meteor Castle Academy to the end.

However, this is estimated to be the last struggle, compared with the original body, the gap between the rebuilt Bright Academy and the original body in terms of teachers and teaching resources can almost be called two completely different schools, and due to the suffering of the largest background of the Solan Divine Cult, the rebuilt Solan Bright Academy is not as competitive as before in recruiting students. Looking at the freshman competition of this year's Four Academies Competition, you can see that the freshman team of the Academy and the freshman genius elites of the other three colleges are not at the same level at all, and in a few years, maybe whether the new Bright Academy is still qualified to participate in the Four Academies Competition may be a problem.

"Ahaha, it's not an important matter, it's just something I want to ask you...... Recently, is the state of the Solan Cult okay?"

Hearing Cherus's question, a hint of surprise appeared on Relke's indifferent face.

“...... It's a bit surprising that Miss 'Fifth Order Arcane', a famous genius of the Lorris National Academy, would be interested in a sect that has already begun to decline, could it be that you are actually a well-known Light Believer?"

Cheruth grinned, it seemed that this old flame saint had a lot of resentment in his heart towards the new Solan Cult that had now abandoned the flame faith......

"No, well, to be honest, I wanted to ask you if you know how Raphael is doing. ”

Rayke is a little clear about the friendship between the current "Daughter of Redemption" Raphael of the Holy Daughter of the Solan Divine Cult and the famous genius "Fifth Order Armager" Cheruth in the Western Continent, only a handful of people know about it, because the intersection between the two people who have disclosed in the eyes of the public so far seems to be only the four-academy competition three years ago, and one is a main player and the other is a freshman player. However, Relke was one of the few people who knew about the intimate relationship between Raphael and Cheruth.

However, Relke is also a little stranger, according to him, this kind of question is based on the relationship between Raphael and Cheruth, it would be good to write a letter or ask Raphael himself, why should he ask him as an outsider.

"If you're asking this, you're probably looking for the wrong person. ”

Rayke shrugged his shoulders, he didn't have any ill will towards Raphael, and even used to be a young genius He still had some sense of identity with Raphael, but now, the gap between the situation of the Saint-in-Waiting and the Son-in-Waiting was a world of difference, and this kind of thing still left some knots in the heart of Ralke, who had always been unwilling.

"Although it seems that I am still a member of the Solan Cult, in fact I can not know much more than you, and Her Highness will go to preach and bless the believers in various places one day, and Her Highness will always be so approachable and like an angel of light...... In short, such a day must be much more beautiful than a forgotten former candidate Flame Saint Son. ”

"Well...... Raphael: If she's having a good time, that's fine, thank you. ”

"Happy? Not necessarily," Raphael only looked a little envious and resentful when he said about Raphael, but now he replaced it with a very sarcastic sneer. It is said that since the accession of His Majesty Pope Eric three years ago until now, Lord Red, the head of the Knights Templar, has completely broken with His Majesty Pope Eric and Archbishop Girdis who strongly advocated the accession of His Majesty Pope Eric, and the two sides have not exchanged a word in private for three years'Happy' to live it. ”

Cheruth was silent, she was also very clear about the things of the Solan Divine Cult back then, and she knew that Rayk was not wrong.

Three years ago, after the Holy City incident had just subsided, the local faction that supported Raphael's accession to the throne and the local faction that supported the re-election of the pope were opposed in the Church of God, and the final impasse was broken with the return of Archbishop Eric and Archbishop Badis who had been stationed outside。

Although this view was unpleasant to Red, it was easier to accept than the attitude of the localists who explicitly did not recognize Raphael's qualifications, so Red finally reluctantly agreed not to put Raphael on the pope immediately, but the subsequent development of events completely exceeded the Templar Knight's expectations.

In the election of the temporary acting pope, the local faction actually changed their position against all the central powers, and flocked to stand behind Archbishop Eric and put him forward as the acting pope, and even proposed to remove the word "acting" less than a month after Eric took the throne and make Eric the real new pope. And Eric also "reciprocated", symbolically appointing Raphael as the new Holy Lady of Light, and then vigorously assigned almost all the vacant and important positions in the new Church to the local faction and his and his cronies in the Templar system.

When Red finally realizes that he has been tricked by Eric and the local government, the old Knight Master almost rushes into the temporary stronghold of the New See with the Templar Knights in a fit of rage to kill Eric. In the end, the only sanity he had left did not do so, but since then he has completely broken with Eric's two "shameless traitors" in the original Church, and it is rumored that the old Master of the Templar Order has made it clear that their Templars will always stand behind the Holy Maiden of Light - the implication is obvious, except for the Holy Maiden Raphael, who will not obey the orders of the new Pope Eric.

That's why Cheruth will ask Relk to ask Raphael about the current situation, the Solan Cult has covered up these ugly infighting very well to the outside world, so as not to disappoint the ordinary believers who have finally regrouped to them, but for the countries and forces with a little bit of means and ability, the internal division of the Soran Cult is not news and secrets at all, and Cheruth from Sekaria, the princess of Lloris, and from "Qiu Qi" The Seagull Chamber of Commerce, a business partner, had heard of these things about the Solan Cult.

But even so, every time she contacted Raphael with the communication stone, the natural dull always told Cheruth in a cute tone: "Everything is fine, don't worry~"

...... It's no wonder if you don't worry. (To be continued.) )
