"It's … It's a lie, right?" Lolo said blankly. Leaping from level-0 to level-3? Even those knight novels that were popular with noble ladies wouldn't have such a crazy plot. Teacher Harvey, who taught the history of magic, was 42 years old this year, and he was only a level-3 magician.
With the girl's aptitude, without any help, no matter how hard she worked, she would never be able to become a level-3 magician.
Therefore, this kind of thing was like a dream to Lolo.
"Wait, don't you think all this is a little too strange? If this is really the Philosopher's Stone, why would someone be willing to give such a precious thing to someone else?"
"Not bad. At a time like this, you haven't been blinded by joy and can calm down and think about the problem." Rob first praised Lolo, then continued, "But this Philosopher's Stone itself is indeed fine. Of course, to be on the safe side, I will check it again. How about this, give me a week, I will give you a result a week later."
"Hmm, I feel like you know something." The girl looked at the young man in front of her suspiciously.
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor smiled, but did not say anything.
Lolo thought that Rob had been hiding in the bakery and slacking off these few days, but in fact, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor had not been idle. After the battle in the courtyard, he had suffered a serious injury, especially before the wound on his back had fully healed, so he could not do any strenuous exercise. Therefore, Rob could only continue to apply for an extension of his vacation from the school. However, during this period, he did not stay at home to recuperate. In fact, as early as when Lolo was still in a coma, he had already started to take action.
The first place that Rob went to was a small church called Saint Repose. This church was located in the southeast of the university town. It did not cover a large area, but it was still quite famous in Gudilesi because it was one of the ten oldest churches in the south, with a history of more than 1,400 years. Now, it was a famous scenic spot in the university town, like the Marian Lighthouse. Apart from believers, there were many tourists who came here because of its reputation.
Saint Repose Church was famous for two things. One was the Holy Grimoire that was personally copied by the 23rd Pope, Ilavich. It was said that with this Holy Grimoire, even the most ignorant person would receive God's grace. However, the original Holy Grimoire had been taken away by the church 400 years ago. Now, only a copy was left in the church for tourists and believers to admire.
Another famous thing in Saint Repose Church was the famous Dark Night Armed Forces, which was the predecessor of the Temple's Third Holy Knight Regiment.
The Dark Night Armed Force was initially formed by a group of priests. At that time, mages had not yet been born, and the human race was in its darkest period. Almost all the armed forces were used to defend and resist the invasion of the surrounding forces. It was like a newborn puppy desperately waving its claws and teeth in front of wolves and tigers, trying its best to look fierce, because only in this way could it be removed from their menu and survive among the beasts.
However, because of this, the human race did not have the extra strength to deal with the monsters that roamed everywhere. Large cities like the Imperial City were still fine, as they had the Royal Guards guarding them. However, other places were not so lucky. Due to the severe lack of military strength, even some medium-sized cities were occasionally harassed by monsters more than a thousand years ago.
At that time, Gudilesi was not as prosperous as it was now. At best, it was just a small port, and it was the kind that was not valued. Naturally, it could not escape the fate of being visited by monsters. The simple city wall might be able to deal with some ordinary monsters with low intelligence, but it was powerless against some of the more cunning ones.
After those monsters sneaked into the city, they were like a weasel sneaking into a chicken coop. They specialized in ambushing people and livestock that were alone. Ordinary people were almost defenseless against them, especially during times of war. The number of young men in the city was pitifully small, so those monsters were even more unscrupulous.
The Dark Night Armed Forces was born in this era. This organization was not even founded by the church at first, but by the personal actions of a few priests. When they were spreading the gospel, they often found that some of their relatives or friends were eaten by monsters. These sad people came to the church to seek guidance from the gods, so the clergymen of the church also comforted them and tried to soothe the grief in their hearts.
However, as time passed, the priests gradually became doubtful. After all, words were useless. Since the disaster had come, no matter how merciful the gods were, they could not change the facts that had already happened, nor could they save the souls that had long passed away.
Therefore, as the only young men in the city who did not need to serve in the military, these priests and priests began to be dissatisfied with using doctrines to guide their believers. They wanted to do more to protect these poor people. So they picked up weapons, spontaneously gathered together, and pooled money to hire a disabled veteran to teach them martial arts. During the day, they were priests who healed the wounded and the dying, but at night, they put down the scriptures in their hands, picked up swords and shields, and became the last barrier of the city.
"— — If there is no light in this long night, then I will be your light!"
This sentence was engraved on the long sword of every Paladin in the Third Paladin Group of the Temple. People only knew that this sentence came from the Dark Night Armed Forces, but they did not know who said it. The nine priests who founded the Dark Night Armed Forces were only the lowest clergymen. Some of their names were still unknown to this day. They fought with ferocious and cunning monsters in the alleys of the night with the simplest weapons, protected the city behind them in silence, and died in silence.
Except for one who was seriously injured, the other eight died in the battle with monsters without exception. However, the Dark Night Armed Forces did not disappear. The deeds of the nine priests touched more and more people, and the Dark Night Armed Forces became stronger and stronger. With the increase of people joining them, their activities were no longer limited to the city of Gudilesi. They killed more and more monsters, and their fame grew. The military was moved by their deeds and gave them extra military supplies, letting them change into excellent armor. The church assigned real Paladins to train and command them, and even lent them a sacred weapon to fight against evil. Later, the Dark Night Armed Forces became the third Paladin Group of the Temple.
This was the reason why Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, came this time.
