"Brother, is it really you?" Ivan's eyes misted up as soon as the young man pushed the door open. He had been frightened along the way, and had almost lost his life a few times, all for the sake of bringing his brother home.
The two siblings had survived a calamity, so they naturally had a lot to talk about when they met. In addition, the journey had been extremely thrilling, and as they spoke, their voices started to sound like they were about to cry. Unfortunately, Lin Li was used to being carefree. When this touching scene fell into his eyes, it immediately became extremely melodramatic. Lin Li waved his hand impatiently. "Alright, alright. If you want to cry, wait until we get home. Hurry up and pack up. We'll talk after we leave this damn place …"
"…" The little girl could not help but blush at Lin Li's words. She hurriedly wiped the tears off her face, and pulled her brother to his feet, ready to leave the ruins of Syer Town with the rest.
"Who are you? How dare you speak to my sister like that?" However, the young man struggled with all his might and glared at Lin Li fiercely. With his messy blonde hair, he really looked like an enraged lion cub. "Oh, yes, you should be the adventurer that my sister found to save me, right? Since when did the Adventurers of Roland City become so unprofessional? How dare you speak to your employer like that? Let me tell you, you'd better apologize to my sister immediately, or you'll regret your attitude when we get back to Roland City! "
"…" As soon as the young man said that, there was a collective gasp in the room. Almost everyone's gaze fell on this 16 or 17 year old youth, and it was as if they were looking at an elephant that could fly …
At this moment, almost everyone was thinking, Does this fella know how to spell the word 'death'? Damn it, even if he wants to die, this is not the way to do it, right?
"Brother, don't say anymore …" The young lady at the side was even more anxious. Even if Ivan was 10 times more stupid, he should have been able to tell what kind of person this guy he called a coward in the Dragon Mountains was. He killed the Humerus Wyrm, broke the Humerus Domain, and killed countless Undead creatures with ease. Not to mention Roland City, there were only a few people like him in the entire Breezy Plains.
What worried Ivan the most was that this guy was especially petty …
Ivan had seen it with his own eyes when he was outside the clock tower just now. He had beaten up the Bandit so badly. If Sienna and Jason had not recognized their mistake quickly enough, he might have really killed the Bandit. If he treated his companions like that, how could his younger brother have a good time talking back to him?
"Sister, don't try to persuade me. This guy's attitude towards his employer is so bad. How can you tolerate him? Did he threaten you with something? Don't be afraid. When we return, I will definitely tell my father and let my father teach him a good lesson! "
"Shut up, I told you not to say it!" Seeing that his brother was still chattering, Ivan suddenly turned pale with fright.
The room suddenly quietened down. Other than Ivan, who had a face full of fear, almost everyone lowered their heads at the same time and pretended to be innocent. What kind of joke was this? To provoke Mage Felic at this time, what else could it be if they were not tired of living? If the blood splattered on them, they could only blame it on their bad luck …
The little girl's eyes were wide open as she looked at Lin Li unblinkingly. There was fear and pleading in her eyes. Time seemed to have suddenly slowed down. Ivan did not know how much time had passed until the scary mage suddenly smiled. She finally heaved a long sigh of relief. She had clearly heard the young mage say to Sienna, "Sienna, get your men ready. We are returning to Roland City. Try to find the corpses of our dead brothers as much as possible. I think they definitely do not like this godforsaken place …"
"Yes, Mage Felic."
When the sun rose into the sky, more than 10 carriages drove out of the ruins of Syer Town.
…
Almost at the same time, something big happened in the Ledin Kingdom.
They were in Delano, the City of Dawn. The reason it was called the City of Dawn was because it was home to the most solemn and sacred church in the entire Ledin Kingdom — the Church of Dawn. The person in charge of the Church of Dawn was Pope Rosario of the Brilliance Shrine.
The legendary incarnation of the Holy Light had ascended to the throne of the pope at the age of 30, and had spread the teachings of the Holy Light throughout Anril in the past 100 years. Even the stubborn Felan Kingdom, a close neighbor of the Ledin Kingdom, had built more than 10 churches of various sizes. This was a feat that none of the popes in the past had been able to accomplish. To the believers of the Brilliance Shrine, Rosario was the incarnation of the Holy Light. Especially in a holy kingdom like the Ledin Kingdom, Rosario's words were almost equivalent to the will of the Holy Light. Compared to him, the king was nothing. The entire royal family of the Ledin Kingdom had to seek the opinion of the Brilliance Shrine before making any decisions.
Moreover, the past kings of the Ledin Kingdom had never felt that there was anything wrong with this. In the 1,300 years after the Dark Age, the Ledin Kingdom had lived just like that. If not for the protection of the Brilliance Shrine, the Ledin Kingdom would have been devoured by its ferocious neighbors 800 years ago. How could it have the glory of being one of the four major powers of Anril then?
The Church of Dawn was especially quiet today. There were 40 Paladins, 12 cardinals, seven Head Judges, and two archbishops in the conference room. Pope Rosario looked like he was in his fifties. His face was rosy, and his smile was gentle. He looked like an amiable old man. Sitting on either side of Rosario were the two archbishops who were second only to him in the Brilliance Shrine. One of them was even Lin Li's acquaintance — Archbishop Englos, who was an expert in pharmaceutics …
However, for some reason, the atmosphere in the conference room was extremely solemn today. Almost everyone held their breath as they stared at Rosario motionlessly. If it had been 700 years ago, nine out of 10 people would have thought that the Darkness Shrine had attacked.
Of course, no one would have thought so now.
700 years ago, the Darkness Shrine had already suffered a great loss due to a tragedy, and did not have the ability to challenge the Brilliance Shrine at all. Now that the two shrines were put together, the only reason would be because of the names "Light" and "Darkness" …
To the Brilliance Shrine today, the Darkness Shrine, which used to be their biggest rival, was nothing. Rosario had even acquiesced to the friendship between Englos and Sendros. From this, it could be seen that the Brilliance Shrine did not care about the Darkness Shrine at all. And that was the truth. Just look at the group of people in the conference room …
The 40 Paladins and 12 cardinals were all powerhouses who were infinitely close to the Legendary-realm. The seven chief judges and two archbishops had broken through to the Legendary-realm many years ago. As for Pope Rosario himself, he was a living legend. He had broken through to the Legendary-realm at the age of 30, and had not fought anyone for the next 100 years. Perhaps even the two archbishops he trusted the most did not know how strong the pope was …
At a glance, there were a total of 10 Legendary powerhouses in this conference. How terrifying was this force? Even in the whole of Anril, perhaps only the Supreme Council could compete with them. As for the Darkness Shrine … Uh, let bygones be bygones …
"Your Holiness, is what you said true?" The one who broke the silence was a red-robed bishop. He looked to be in his forties and had a mustache that the men of Ledin liked the most. From this, it could be seen that this red-robed bishop was a native of Ledin.
"Yes, Enke."
"This … This is impossible!" The middle-aged cardinal's voice rose by half an octave, and he stood up in an exaggerated posture. Then, he suddenly realized that everyone's eyes were on his face. At this time, the middle-aged cardinal suddenly realized that his words were too disrespectful to Pope Rosario. Hence, he hurriedly explained, "Uh … Your Holiness, it's not that I don't believe you, but … but this is too unbelievable … Holy Light … Why would the Son of the Holy Light suddenly descend?"
"Sit down, Enke, I understand what you mean …" Rosario looked at the youngest cardinal, but there was no sign of impatience on his face. He only smiled warmly. "Actually, it's not just you. Even I feel that this is really … really unbelievable …"
"Then …"
"Listen to me, Enke."
"Yes, Your Holiness."
"Everyone here is the most devout believer. I believe that all of you have felt it. Last night, at midnight, in the southeast of the Ledin Kingdom, there was an explosion of extremely powerful Divine Power. After I woke up this morning, I have been studying the Book of Dawn. The description of the Son of the Holy Light coincided with the Divine Power last night. It was powerful and pure, just like the Holy Light itself …"
The conference room that was filled with dozens of people was unusually quiet. Everyone was listening attentively, afraid that they would miss out on any details.
Rosario's gaze swept across everyone's faces, and he revealed a slightly tired smile. "Actually, on the way to the Church of Dawn, I have already used the Greater Prophecy Spell three times …"
"What!?" As soon as Rosario said that, not only the middle-aged cardinal, but even the two archbishops and the seven judges who had been silent changed their expressions at the same time. Among them, Englos was the most agitated. This Legendary Archbishop stood up abruptly, and his face was filled with worry and anxiety. He no longer had his usual calmness, and looked like a young man who had just left home. "Your Holiness, you … you just said that you have used the Greater Prophecy Spell three times?"
