Utopia Mountain.
It was the most famous mountain in the commercial district and even in the entire outer wall. It was the headquarters of the Holy Church. The mountain was five hundred and eighty meters high, with steep cliffs and rugged mountains. It was covered with brilliant snow-white sunflowers. Every time black snow fell, the flowers would bloom even more beautifully. Not only would the thick black snow not freeze these delicate flowers to death, it would make them bloom even more brilliantly and beautifully. Thus, it was named Sunflower.
The first Pontiff recognized the unyielding and indomitable quality of the Holy Church. Therefore, it was designated as the Holy Flower of the Holy Church. It was engraved on the back of every Holy emblem. It symbolized the will to pursue the light.
Because of this, the value of the Sun Flowers also rose, and they could not be carelessly destroyed or planted. Once the flowers were damaged, the grower would be heavily punished. Over time, no one dared to plant the Sun Flowers, much less touch them. They could only look at them from afar.
On the steps of the Piazza San Marco at the top of Mount Uto, an old man sat quietly. He wore a luxurious robe studded with gems, and he held a scepter embedded with a fist-sized snow-white gem. He looked into the distance silently.
"Boyce!"
"Boyce!"
In the vast and silent square, an anxious woman's voice suddenly rang out.
The old man slowly turned his head to look, and immediately saw an eight or nine year old little boy, holding a wooden sword, angrily walking over. Behind him was a graceful woman wearing a nun's robe, shouting anxiously.
"Grandpa Pope, I want to duel with you!" The little boy's figure was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of the old man. He looked down at the old man sitting on the steps with a face full of anger.
"Boyce!" The nun hurriedly pulled the boy. She bowed to the old man: "Your Holiness, I didn't discipline him properly. I will take Boyce back." She tried to pull the little boy's hand. However, there was a huge disparity in strength. She couldn't pull the little boy.
The Pope faintly smiled and raised his hand to stop her actions. He looked at the little boy: "You want to duel with me?"
"Yes!" Boyce angrily replied.
"Your Holiness, he is just joking. Don't take it to heart." The nun hurriedly looked at Boyce and said, "You're too rude. Quickly apologize to Grandpa Pontiff. Do you know what you're doing?"
The Pope was interested and asked the little boy, "Why do you want to duel?"
"Because I am very angry!"
This reason seemed reasonable, especially coming from the mouth of a little boy.
"Boyce!" The nun was so frightened that she hurriedly tugged at him. "How can you talk nonsense to His Holiness the Pope? Quickly apologize …"
The Pope raised his hand to stop her. He smiled faintly and said: "I like to listen to angry words. Boyce, tell me, why are you angry?"
When the nun heard this, she could only let go and step aside with a bitter smile. She kept signaling the little boy with her eyes, but the little boy completely ignored her.
Boyce angrily said: "Grandpa Pope, you said that I can go down the mountain to play after passing the test. Why didn't you keep your word? I want to duel with you. The instructor said that if I defeat others, others will listen to me. Hmph, I will defeat you! "
The nun almost fainted when she heard this. Her face was pale and her body was shivering.
The Pope, however, smiled lightly. He was not angry at all. "I never go back on my words. Do you still remember what I said? I said, 'When you can defeat the Gospel Instructor, I'll allow you to leave the mountain.' As far as I know, you tricked the Gospel Instructor into eating your diarrhea medicine. That's how you defeated him, right? This kind of method is not honorable enough! "At the end of his words, his face was slightly stiff, but the corners of his eyes were still smiling. Naturally, he did not have any dignity.
Boyce's neck shrunk as he heard this. Embarrassment flashed on his face. But soon he raised his head and said: "I didn't use diarrhea medicine. I defeated him with my own strength!"
"You will be the most outstanding Knight of Light in the future. Don't learn to lie." The Pope said in a serious tone.
Boyce felt the seriousness of the Pope's tone. But he was young so he had long regarded his face as more important than anything else. He didn't want to bow his head. He stubbornly raised his head: "I didn't lie. I didn't give him diarrhea medicine!" Speaking up to this point, she muttered in a low voice, "With his body, how can taking some diarrhea medicine make his stomach ache …"
The Pope was dumbfounded. He shook his head and smiled: "No matter what, you have to defeat him in an honorable manner. Do you understand?"
Boyce pouted: "Grandpa Pope, why can't I go down the mountain? You are unfair!"
The Pope gently touched his head: "Silly boy, you are different from others. In the future you will become the most powerful person in the Holy Church. You will become the strongest person in the entire outer wall!"
Boyce pouted: "I will be bored to death by that time."
The Pope was dumbfounded.
The nun saw that the Pope wasn't angry. Instead he was in a good mood. She took the opportunity to say: "Pontiff, Boyce is not sensible. Please forgive his rude behavior …"
The Pope smiled and put his hand on Boyce's shoulder: "Children get angry. You have to grow up quickly, understand?"
Boyce saw that Dudian was serious. He thought for a moment then nodded: "I will grow up as soon as possible. Hmph! I will whip the Gospel instructor every day and make him beg for mercy every day. Hmph!"
The Pope couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that he had already imagined the scene. He secretly mourned for the Gospel instructor for a second.
"Grandpa Pope, why are you always sitting here?" Boyce curiously asked.
The Pope smiled and turned to look at the vast St. Mark's Square in front of him. At the end of the square was an even wider area. Countless buildings were scattered all over the ground. He said softly, "The scenery here is the best."

…
Hawkeye was pacing back and forth on the balcony of the manor. Suddenly he saw a figure coming from the street. It was Dean.
Hawkeye's eyes lit up as he rushed out of the balcony to greet Dean: "Elder, you are finally back. Something happened. Our branch was swallowed by the 8th region …" He didn't finish his words.
Because Dean raised his hand.
His action was to shut him up.
Dean was expressionless and silent. He walked into the manor and followed the passage to the underground headquarters. A woman passed by and almost bumped into him. After seeing Dean's face, she hurriedly apologized.
Hawkeye scolded: "Bastard! Don't you want to live?"
Dean had gone far and returned to his office.
"Elder, you are back." Neuss stood up as he saw Dean.
Hawkeye gently closed the door. He was about to continue his report when Dean opened his mouth: "From now on, you and the other 14 council members will be responsible for the matters of the 9th region. You will vote to decide."
Hawkeye was stunned.
"Prepare an alchemy room for me." Dean sat on the chair and put the ashes to the side. He picked up the pencil and wrote down a string of materials: "From now on no one is allowed to disturb me without my permission. Do you understand?"
Hawkeye was startled: "Elder, what are you doing?"
"You don't understand?"
"Yes, I understand." Hawkeye was somewhat puzzled. "It's just that the decisions of the 9th district have always been made by you and the other councilors. Didn't you say that you want to make the 9th district the fifth district in half a year? If you don't do anything then I'm afraid the people below will …"
"Whoever has an opinion can come to me." Dean indifferently said: "The previous promise won't change. The 9th region will become one of the top five regions in six months. You don't have to worry about it."
Hawkeye couldn't figure out Dean: "Elder, the 8th region …"
"I said that you will deal with everything. There will be a total of fifteen people including you so the voting won't be deadlocked." Dean picked up the paper and handed it to Hawkeye: "Prepare these materials and send them to my alchemy room. Remember to use the best alchemy room."
Hawkeye quickly took the paper and glanced at it. He found that most of the materials were metal materials. There were also some gelatinous materials. He was puzzled as he didn't know what Dean was going to make. But at least he knew that his master was an alchemist!
Neuss was standing on the side. He had followed Dean for a long time. He was aware that Dean's situation wasn't right when he came back. He saw that Dean was going to refine things. His mind couldn't help but think of the super shark spear and the cannon that Dean had made. He also remembered the two legendary items that were spread throughout the outer wall.
