Royal Academy of Rome.

Office on the first floor of the Mage Academy.

"Counselor, are you looking for me?"

Elysée entered the office, and in front of her was the counselor of her class.

The system unique to the Royal Roman Academy is that the tutor is responsible for the class, not the individual, and is responsible for taking care of the group of students until they find their own professors and tutors.

If you don't find it, you can only continue to study with a counselor, and usually find your supervisor before your junior year to prepare for your graduation thesis.

The counselor is an elegant woman who is affectionately called Annie by her classmates.

Anne smiled and said, "Have you thought about what you were asked to think about before?" Many mentors are interested in taking you as an apprentice. ”

Elyse has not yet chosen a fixed mentor, although there are already many people who are interested in throwing an olive branch to her, but Elyse has too many secrets and plans to study independently.

In fact, the mentor can help her gradually fade away.

She got more from any strategy dungeon than her mentor.

"Sorry, I don't have that idea right now." Elyse shook her head and declined: "I'm still a year old, I need to lay a good foundation, and then think about it." ”

"You're not in a hurry, but for you in the second order, the next course is a little too easy." Anne handed over a list: "I respect your choice, but I also want you to choose a professor sooner, once you enter your sophomore year, the competition will start to be fierce." ”

Good professors are also more difficult to choose.

Elyse couldn't resist it, so she had to agree and ask, "Then do you have any good candidates?" ”

Anne glanced at the list: "Half of the professors are willing to accept you, and the other half should not refuse as long as you take the initiative to visit, so ...... What kind of professor are you looking for as a mentor? ”

After thinking about it, Elyse said, "A professor who is not very controlling, has a more casual personality, is more withdrawn and does not like to delve into it, right? ”

Anne was stunned, why are they all personality requirements?

What about the individual's academic level?

What about the magic faction you are good at?

…… Is this girl here for a blind date?

After she said a word, she was embarrassed: "I don't know about this, after all, the professor's personality is more changeable, I can help you inquire later, you need to come back later." ”

As a counselor, she is responsible for meeting the needs of students, and in fact she herself is a student who has just graduated for three years and is still very young.

Elyse thanked her: "Thank you, then I'll go back first." ”

"Wait a minute." Anne hurriedly held back, put the glass down and said, "You have to go with me somewhere else, that's what we need to do today." ”

"Business?"

"I'm afraid you forgot." Anne took Elyse's hand: "Let's go, it's not too far." ”

The two quickly made their way through the magical corridor, arriving at an area she had never set foot in before.

Before entering this area, Elyse subconsciously tensed her nerves and became nervous.

Here it is...... Church?

In the Royal Roman Academy, there is still a church?

She hadn't known it before.

Rome was a standard Western country with a church in addition to the regime...... Since ancient times, the monarchy and the clergy have been hostile to each other, but in Rome this problem was solved.

Theocracy.

The head of state is the head of religion, and this directly solves this problem, just as the head of Shinto is himself the emperor, and Fuso is also considered a theocratic state, and the legitimacy of the emperor's family comes from blood, and blood comes from God.

(India's essence is similar, except that Hindu believers elect the ruling party, and the leader of the party is also a religious leader, who will take the initiative to suppress other ethnic groups and non-Hindu believers)

The imperial rule of Rome and the Holy Church had formed a high degree of unity.

The Holy Church was also the state religion of the Roman Empire and the only legal religion.

So there's a church in the Royal Academy where people come and worship.

Generally speaking, religion will inevitably lag behind the times because of the emancipation of the mind, and will eventually be kicked out by the state power because it hinders the development of the productive forces.

But not in Rome.

For the Holy Church is in charge of one thing that is coveted by all transcendental beings.

It is precisely because of this thing that the Roman emperor had to hold the Holy Church in his hands.

Elyse did not like the Holy Church because of the creed of 'human supremacy' in its teachings, and the barbaric growth of religion in the early years must have required the development of believers by various means.

At that time, alien races will become the best targets for differentiation and suppression, and many alien races and barbarians are naturally stronger than humans, and they have the ability to easily destroy villages when they become adults, which makes the contradictions and hatred more and more intense.

The Holy Church took this opportunity to establish alien races as objects of hatred for mankind and to expand its adherence and influence.

Even now, the Roman Empire has incorporated many alien races into the Roman Charter of Human Rights and the Law of Racial Management, and has downplayed human malice towards alien races through terms such as 'subhuman', but the subtle influence of this doctrine has always existed.

In the history and legend of the Holy Church, Gurgon is the quintessential evil being, with eyes that turn those who look at her to stone, long snake-like hair that bites humans, and makes all kinds of strange potions.

Hence the name Gorgon.

She didn't like the Holy Church, and she was even more worried that she would reveal her identity because of it.

Although she has more human blood components in her body, what if?

Anilla didn't move Elyse, and when she saw the girl's face, she comforted: "Don't be nervous, this is just an office of the church, and there are not so many ceremonies." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Elyse also entered the church, and saw the statue of the Holy Lord.

It stared at itself silently.

And Elysée didn't feel any breath of judgment.

Sure enough, it's all a lie.

The so-called judgment of the alien race is a false fabrication, and although it has divine powers, it cannot distinguish between evil and good, but it can only react to forces that do not belong to this world.

She stepped into the church with a change of heart.

The staff of the office, a pastor, greeted him with a smile

Elysée Goethe...... Congratulations on becoming a second-order magician. ”

"The submitted materials have been reviewed and reviewed by the church."

"Starting today, you have been allowed to enter hell to explore, this is your 'amnesty card', please keep it."

The priest placed a white pendant on the table, which looked like a pair of pure white wings that had spread out and embraced the central gem.

A very beautiful pendant, with a cold touch to the touch.

But what really matters more than its appearance is its functionality.

This is the key to 'hell', and to every Roman transcendent, its importance is to every Roman transcendent what the 'dragon vein seal' is to the transcendent of Bactria and is necessary to enter a special realm.

This is also the reason why the Holy Church is important, and the amnesty it issues is the only legal way for the transcendent in Rome to enter hell.

Regardless of whether it interferes with the productive forces or not, as long as it is tied to the 'amnesty', then the Holy Church has the necessity and legitimacy to exist.

Speaking of the origin of the 'amnesty certificate', it is inevitable to mention the formation of the concept of 'amnesty'.

I'm sure someone has heard of the historical indulgence, but in reality, it's not called a indulgence, and it can't be atonement.

Although it is called indulgence, its original word means 'amnesty'.

So, what is amnesty?

To mention amnesty, we must mention a concept in the Church, myths and legends say that after death, people go to heaven or hell, good people go to heaven, and evil people fall into hell, but many people are not black and white, what about those who are not good or evil, or who have good deeds and evil deeds?

The Church has patched this with the addition of a new area, 'Purgatory'.

Purgatory is a place where ordinary people will be 'punished', and when the punishment is over, you can go to heaven when you are clean, but for the wicked, you still have to go to hell to suffer.

Therefore, indulgences do not atone for sin, and sinners still have to go to hell.

Then amnesty is a statement born on the basis of this theory.

Since one's 'evil' needs to be punished, what about 'good'?

The concept of the Church mentions that the good deeds of the saints are immeasurable, and they have exceeded their standard of being good enough to go to heaven, and if they overflow, then these 'goodness' that overflows will be stored by the Church to form an inventory of good deeds, which can be allocated to others according to the will of the Pope.

Those who have attained 'goodness' are exempt from punishment in purgatory after death.

The so-called 'amnesty' refers to the elimination of this punishment in purgatory with the overflowing 'goodness' of the saints.

Each time the Pope held an amnesty, it was a time-limited celebration that could be obtained by making a pilgrimage to any place, and it was only later that the game of buying indulgences was developed, and the game of buying indulgences was developed.

The amnesty in Rome was even more special, it was more practical.

The priest continued: "Going to hell will cause your soul to be polluted by the sinful breath of hell, and the amnesty certificate can save you from being polluted. ”

"But there is a limit to the amnesty certificate, and it needs to be purified once a year, so it has to be re-processed every year."

"We'll give you one month's notice once it's on file."

"If you lose it, you need to replace it in time, and it is extremely dangerous to go to hell without an amnesty certificate."

"It's important to note that many mages have their souls defiled because they entered Hell without an amnesty certificate."

Talking about the basic rules.

The middle-aged pastor hung something around Elyse's neck and wished faithfully, "I thank you on behalf of the church collective, and I hope you will contribute to the purification of hell, child." ”

If Elyse hadn't been Gorgon, she would have been moved.

Unfortunately, the divine light does not envelop me.

He will never favor me.

Would love a witch like me...... Only editors.
