"Englos, don't be so nervous …"
"I can't help but be nervous, Your Majesty. You should know the condition of your body the best. For the past 30 years, the viper's poison has been lurking in your body, corroding it constantly. Every time you cast a theurgy, it would be more dangerous. You can't have forgotten that the Great Prophecy 10 years ago almost caused the viper's poison to go out of control. If not for the help of Mr Burnside from the Pharmacists Guild, I can't imagine what would have happened …"
"Aren't I fine now? Listen to me, Englos, the viper's poison is not that scary. What happened 10 years ago was just an accident. I didn't expect it to be able to devour even divine power. However, there's nothing to worry about now. I've found a way to suppress it, and I believe I'll be able to get rid of it completely in no time. "
"I hope so …" Since the pope had already said so much, Englos naturally did not continue to persuade him. However, when he heard the words "get rid of it completely", he suddenly thought of something. "Your Majesty, there's someone who might really be able to help you get rid of the viper's poison completely …"
"Oh?" Even with Rosario's upbringing, he could not help but be surprised and curious when he heard that. The viper's poison had been lurking in Rosario's body for 30 years. Apart from the pope himself, no one knew the pain better than him. The viper's poison had been tormenting his body and soul all the time. No one would be able to imagine that kind of pain unless they experienced it themselves.
"About two months ago, I went to Alanna to participate in a gathering organized by the Pharmacists Guild. There, I got to know a real genius pharmacist. You definitely can't imagine that a young man who's not even 20 years old has mastered pharmaceutics knowledge that even Balbo is ashamed of. In front of him, the little bit of pharmaceutics knowledge that Sendros and I had was terrifyingly poor. We saw with our own eyes how easily this young pharmacist solved a problem that left the entire Pharmacists Guild helpless …"
"Such an outstanding young man actually appeared in the Felan Kingdom?"
"Yes, Your Majesty …" Englos took a deep breath. "This is a true genius pharmacist. Sendros and I have the same opinion on this. Within five years, this young man will definitely break through to the Guru Realm. It is only a matter of time for him to formulate the antidote to Viper's poison."
"Oh?" Rosario's eyes were filled with astonishment, but not because the Viper's poison could be neutralized, but because he did not expect Englos to hold a young pharmacist in such high regard. After all, this archbishop was the chief pharmacist of the Brilliance Shrine, and even the entire Ledin Kingdom. His attainments in pharmaceutics had long reached the level of a Master-level, and there were only a few pharmacists in the entire Anril who could earn his respect. To think that this chief pharmacist would speak so highly of a young man who was not even 20 years old …
Rosario was really curious as to what kind of person this genius pharmacist Englos was talking about was.
"After hearing what you said, even I want to meet this young man. How about this, Englos, invite him to the Church of Dawn when he is free?"
"Alright." Englos nodded. This was not a difficult matter, since Felic was most likely in the Breezy Plains now. The Breezy Plains was located at the border of the Felan Kingdom and Ledin Kingdom, and was not too far from the City of Dawn. There should be many opportunities for them to meet in the future. Moreover, Felic still owed him a favor back in Alanna. As long as he was willing to ask, it should not be difficult for him to invite Felic to the City of Dawn.
"Alright, let's put the matter of the Viper's poison aside for now. The reason why I have gathered all of you here today is because of a more important matter …" Rosario raised his hand and gestured for the archbishop to take a seat. "We have to find the Son of the Holy Light as soon as possible. He is the only incarnation of the Holy Light in the world, and we must not let him come to any harm."
"But …" Englos frowned. "How do we know who the Son of the Holy Light is?"
"That is the reason why I cast the Great Prophecy Spell. It is my honor to be able to personally welcome the incarnation of the Holy Light. For this honor, I can close my eyes with a smile even if I am really swallowed by the Viper's poison." Rosario smiled, his eyes full of sincerity and determination.
"But for some reason, the image of the Son of the Holy Light in the Great Prophecy Spell is always very blurry. I have cast the Great Prophecy Spell three times, but still could not confirm his identity. So far, I only know that he is in the Breezy Plains, and he is about 20 years old. He is also a mage …"
"Mage?" As soon as Rosario's voice fell, the meeting hall suddenly burst into an uproar. From the Paladins to the cardinals, from the head judge to the archbishop, the dozens of high-ranking members of the Brilliance Shrine present, none of them would have thought that the only incarnation of the Holy Light in the world would be a mage!
Although the Brilliance Shrine believed in the Holy Light, they did not discriminate against other religions, nor did they deny the existence of other gods. Especially after Rosario took over the Brilliance Shrine, he even tacitly agreed to coexist with the Darkness Shrine. This was because Rosario believed that the Holy Light itself was tolerant and loving, and any devout believer was worthy of respect, regardless of whether he believed in light or darkness.
If there was a group of people in the world of Anril that could be called heretics, it would probably be that bunch of damned mages. That's right, that bunch of damned mages. They were the only group of heretics in the world of Anril. While they inherited the magic of the High Elves, they also inherited the arrogance of the High Elves. They always clamored that as long as they had enough power, even mortals could become gods. Just listen to that, just listen to that, how sinful that declaration was …
And the first person to say that was Geresco, who was now worshipped by the mages as the God of Mages. That's right, it was the Geresco who clamored to kill a god, that arrogant heretic …
Hearing Rosario's words, almost everyone thought that they had seen a ghost. The only incarnation of the Holy Light in the world was actually a damned heretic? This, this, this … This joke was too big …
The group of people looked at each other, and their expressions became more and more dazed.
"This is the image in the Great Prophecy Spell. As for why the Holy Light would choose a mage as its incarnation, I don't understand either. This is all I can see from the Great Prophecy Spell. If we want to confirm the true identity of the Son of the Holy Light, I'm afraid we will need more time." Rosario stood up from his chair, and concluded the meeting with these few words.
"Englos, think of a way to reach an agreement with the Supreme Council. We need the information of all the mages in the Breezy Plains who are under 20 years old."
"Enke, gather all the priests who are proficient in astrology. A month later, we will conduct an astrological ritual in the City of Dawn."
"Rodriguez, let your Paladins enter the Breezy Plains. Oh yes, before that, let's inform the Felan Royal Family first, lest they think that this is another religious war."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
As the orders were issued, the entire Brilliance Shrine began to get busy.
…
At this time, on the other side of the Breezy Plains, a team of adventurers had entered the territory of Roland City.
"Mage Felic, Roland City is right in front." The one who was in the same carriage as Lin Li was the leader of the adventurers, Sienna. To be honest, if he had a choice, Sienna would not want to be in the same carriage with this fellow. It was too torturous. Sienna felt like a mouse tied to a cat, and could be bitten to death at any time by this perverted cat who would kill without batting an eyelid …
Unfortunately, Lin Li did not give him the chance to choose.
It couldn't be helped. Although Lin Li's carriage was spacious enough, it had Norfeller and Ujfalusi, the two Undead creatures inside, and Lin Li felt uncomfortable sitting in it. The other two carriages belonged to Jason and his companions, as well as the twins from the castellan's family. Lin Li thought about it, and decided that he could only squeeze in with Sienna …
"We're finally here …" After two days of bumpy journey, and with the boring Sienna as his companion, Lin Li was already getting impatient. When they finally arrived at Roland City, Lin Li heaved a huge sigh of relief, and jumped out of the carriage while yawning.
Lin Li was not the only one who could not wait. Just as he stepped out of the carriage, he saw another carriage stop beside him, and the twins from the castellan's family came out.
"Good morning, both of you."
"Good morning, Mage Felic."
"So it's you, you unprofessional fella …" The castellan's son looked up at the sky after he got out of the carriage. He did not even look at Lin Li, and only snorted. "We're about to enter the city. Just you wait, I'll get my father to teach you a good lesson …"
"Cyndorei, can you shut up …" Yvonne clenched her fists, and secretly swore to herself that she would teach this unrestrained fella a lesson when they got home. She did not know what was wrong with this fella, but he had been chattering non-stop along the way. While he was happy with his words, he had caused Yvonne to be on tenterhooks the whole way, and not even get a good night's sleep …
