Today's Hogg House is still cold.

To ward off the devastating cold of the snow, the students changed into warm clothes, except for the two men......

Emilia was still handsome in a plain dress and trousers, and Edward had completely tied himself into a big dumpling, and his bloated body was so swollen that he walked and swayed that it made people sweat for him.

While it is true that winter in the God-given land can be hopeless, young students can always find activities that will make them willing to give their blood and passion.

Knight tryouts.

Some time ago, under the command of Rem, the southern expedition of the exorcist army achieved brilliant results. After this battle, the demons disappeared and were forced to hide in the Endless Forest and did not dare to come out. Thanks to this, many people flocked to the border villages to enjoy a leisurely and quiet life, and the small towns that were originally poor and deserted gradually prospered.

What makes people feel strange is that half a year has passed, and the demons have not shown any signs of counterattack. The military suspects that the demons are secretly accumulating strength, and are preparing to surprise and attack villages and towns with weak border defenses. So, they sent spies to risk their lives to go deep into the Endless Forest to investigate the movements of the major tribes of the Demon Clan.

It's just a pity that they got nothing. The major demon tribes are all as honest as rabbits, obediently staying in their own tribe's territory and not going anywhere.

Even the famously militant and belligerent Red Blood tribes do not make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, living in harmony with the human villages on the border.

Occasionally, daring villagers ran into the Everfree Forest to hunt and accidentally broke into their territory, and they endured it again and again, even without even killing the invaders.

The Pure White Blade team, who returned from the expedition, also confirmed this fact. They didn't find any clues to the Wings of Guilt, and they didn't receive an attack from the demons.

This kind of strange thing was unimaginable before. The demons have always been bloodthirsty, reckless, and warlike fools, and when did they also learn human patience and restraint?

Everything points to the same truth.

There's a big trouble within the demons.

So, if humans can build a powerful army in a short period of time and then fight into the Everfree Forest, will they be able to defeat the demons in one fell swoop?

Definitely, you can!

This crazy thought spread like a plague in the God-given land.

Thus, the knight tryouts came into being.

The disappearance of the Wings of Judgment, the defeat of the Pure White Blade. The successive sacrifices have caused humanity to lose a large amount of elite combat power. Nowadays, humanity urgently needs a new hero to step up and take the place of the brave and become the mainstay of the exorcist army.

Holding a tryout seems to be the quickest and most practical way to do it.

The organizer of this selection competition is none other than the Holy See. Only the Holy Ming Sect, which is spread across the continent and has countless believers, has this terrifying strength, and even the Holy Empire cannot hold such a large-scale selection competition.

The Knight Trials are limited to all the magic academies in the God-given Land, limited to a team of five people, and are fought and contested for several months.

The winner of the tryout will become a knight of the Holy See, and the winning squad will also be eligible to establish a knighthood.

If that's all there is, the students wouldn't be crazy about it.

The team that wins the championship will be blessed by Pope Shela!

For ordinary people, it is a dream that is difficult to reach in their lifetime. Even the most dull person can become a genius after receiving the blessing of Sheila.

The vigorous knight tryouts began.

The students of Hogg House have teamed up to form a team of five to prepare for the highly coveted Knight tryouts.

Among them, Alsace is also included.

Only then did Edward understand what Alsace meant. The so-called Exorcist Salvation Society is just a façade, and Arthas's real purpose is to recruit five people to participate in the knight tryouts.

Amilia's strength is undoubted, although the Holy Spirit Qi has disappeared for a long time, it is more than enough to deal with those still students, and her combat power alone is comparable to that of an entire team of others.

With Emilia joining, it was easy for the Exorcist Salvation Society to win the tryouts. However, there are those who oppose it.

That person is Angelina.

Early the next morning, Angelina rushed into the room of the Exorcist Salvation Society in a huff.

The unfortunate one is always the door to the room...... What did it do wrong to be kicked around so roughly?

"Arthas, what the hell do you want to do?" Angelina scolded at Arthas's nose.

She doesn't care about what bullshit prince is, no matter who the other party is, the guy who dares to bully Emilia will have to die!

They still don't know anything about the Gate of Original Sin. In such a situation, it is extremely dangerous to rashly expose the identity of the brave. If the enemy discovers Emilia's identity, she will likely disappear from the world on a calm afternoon.

Her concerns were rightly founded.

For her own selfish interests, she pushed Emilia to the cusp of the storm, this kind of thing, Angelina will never allow it!

"Hehe......"

In the face of Angelina's questioning, Arthas was unhurried. Because, he has the trump card of victory - his deal with Emilia.

Emilia had promised Arthas to help him find the traitor. What he did was to participate in the knight tryouts!

The reason is simple.

What would their expressions look like if the people of the Gate of Original Sin saw that the Brave Lord, whom they had been trying to get rid of, actually participated in the knightly trial under their noses, and finally won the championship and accepted the blessing of the Pope?

In any case, it is impossible for them to remain silent. That's exactly what Alsace would love to see!

"You bastard, you must have used some dastardly means to trick my family's Emilia into being fooled, right!" Angelina was about to go mad.

"Angelina, I'm sorry, it was my choice. Please ...... Don't be angry. Emilia said calmly.

"Hmm...... Why?"

"I'm sorry, I can't say. ”

"Why? Why didn't you tell me?"

“......”

"What should I do if something happens to you?" Angelina's voice was crying.

"He'll protect me. Emilia gestured to Edward, who was huddled in the corner of the room.

"He's not going to do it! He's a pervert, you can't trust him!

“......”

"Not really, I'll tell you, Amilia, Edward, he's actually ......" Angelina was so anxious that the last two words came out.

"Ah......h I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you guys keep talking. I—I'm going out for a walk......" Edward snorted, wrapped his thick cotton coat around him, and staggered to his feet.

Obviously, this place is not suitable for long.

"Hey, pervert, you wait for me!

"Ah......h Well, it's so cold, maybe you can get warmer by running. Edward ignored Angelina's shouts and ran out of the room with his dumpling skin.

In the hallway, a child in a white robe approached.

Her whole body was covered by a wide robe, and a large hood on her head covered her face. Even though her outfit was so weird, Edward didn't feel a trace of strangeness and mystery, but a feeling of warmth.

The girl asked in a whisper as she passed Edward.

"Edward, is that you?"

"Ah......h Who are you, who are you?" asked Edward curiously.

"Great, I've finally found you. The girl lifted her hood and said with a smile, "I'm Shira." ”

At first glance, Edward saw the girl's blood-red eyes, and the gentle look seemed familiar.

"Shera, Holy Pope?"

Edward took a deep breath.

He seems to be in big trouble.
