"I already know what happened before. I don't blame you. Go and have a rest." The old man said to the two children outside the house in a kind tone, "Also, remember to find your teacher before you go to bed and ask him to help you eliminate the sequelae of the sanctification."
Alvin nodded, pulled Jane, who was still a little indignant, and walked down the cabin.
After the two left, the old man stood up from his seat and turned to a girl beside him. "Let's go, Renethean. Let's meet the distinguished guest together."
"Distinguished guest?" The girl did not know what the old man meant.
The ship they were on was not docked at the port of Gudilesi. Instead, it was half a nautical mile away, surrounded by boundless seawater. The girl named Renethian did not know where the distinguished guests that the old man mentioned came from.
The old man did not explain. He just pushed the door open and walked to the deck.
The paladins standing in the night wind like stone statues outside saluted when they saw him. One could feel that their respect for the old man was from the bottom of their hearts.
The old man returned the salute one by one patiently, and then walked to the center of the deck.
In the girl's surprised eyes, he made a very solemn salute to the empty bow of the ship, and then said, "Your Holiness, we meet again."
A moment later, the place he was looking at was distorted for a moment, and a figure appeared under the moonlight. It was Rob.
The reason why Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, let Alvin and Jane go was that he could follow behind them to find the person in charge of the temple tonight. The two were the secret weapons cultivated by the church. No matter who it was, they must have such powerful and dangerous things in their own hands to feel at ease.
D 'Daron's guess was right. There were too many people in Gudilesi. Even if Rob had the help of Bevinadet, it was impossible to get rid of all these forces. Tonight, there was only one party that could do it — the magicians.
With the departure of Arbus, the Magician's Association had been very quiet in the turmoil tonight. Except for Lilith, who acted alone to help Lolo escape, the others had not made any moves so far, so many people had ignored their existence.
However, Gudilesi City was, after all, the Gudilesi City of sorcerers. The City of Wizards was not just in name. Tens of thousands of sorcerers and nearly a hundred magic academies lived in this city. It was an incomparably powerful force. However, sorcerers naturally advocated freedom. The organizational structure of the Association of Sorcerers was not as clear as that of the Temple of Wizards. This force could not be commanded by Dardarion, nor could Oravia. However, once they were suddenly united for a certain goal, no matter the Temple of Wizards or the alien races, no one would be a match for this force.
What Rob was doing now was to create a goal for this terrifying force to unite.
However, Your Honor, the future supreme magician, was also a little surprised when he saw the old man. In the church's power structure, the pope was the most powerful, followed by the cardinals. However, many people did not know that the three cardinals' positions were not exactly the same. There was also a hierarchy among the three cardinals. Rob thought that the temple would send the youngest cardinal, Trevino, at most tonight, but he did not expect to meet the leader of the three cardinals, Cardinal Saruman.
The latter was the second in command of the church. Three years ago, when Your Honor, the future supreme magician, had just advanced to grade six, the church sent Cardinal Saruman to attend the ceremony. That was why the old man said that the two met again.
The holy knights on the ship were shocked when they saw someone suddenly appear. They did not expect that someone could sneak in under their nose. They wanted to draw their weapons, but Saruman waved his hand to stop them.
The old man sighed. He obviously knew why someone had snuck on the ship. "Your Holiness, don't you think what you're doing now is a little too selfish? Because of your selfishness, you're going to drag all the mages in the city into this. You might even start a war between the temple and the Magic Association. By then, how many innocent people will die because of this? As the future guardian of the human race, can you really watch all this happen? "
Rob was unmoved. He said calmly, "Cardinal Saruman, have you forgotten the cause of all this? If it wasn't because you used the power of the entire church to capture an innocent girl, things wouldn't have developed to this stage. If the gods are really so merciful, why don't you take a step back tonight?"
Renethian's little heart pounded when she heard this sentence. It was the first time she heard someone casually ask the second in command of the church, Cardinal Saruman, to take a step back. Usually, there was no need for the people of the temple to do anything. Just the millions of believers in the world would tear the person who said this into pieces.
But now, after hearing this sentence, the old man just shook his head. "If it's about other things, I can represent the temple to take a step back, but not this time. I'm sorry that I can't tell you the specific reason, but as long as you promise not to do anything tonight, I will personally go to the Royal College of Magic and Magic and apologize to you."
Renethian was completely stunned by what was happening in front of her. Although Cardinal Saruman was the most approachable among the higher-ups of the church, as the second in command of the temple, his words and actions not only represented himself, but also the image of the church. But now, he was willing to make a personal promise to apologize to this young man who came out of nowhere. Renethian had never seen the old man put himself so low before.
However, the despicable guy opposite her just calmly said, "You don't need to apologize. With me here, no one can take her away tonight."
The wrinkles on Cardinal Saruman's face deepened. "It seems that the rumors are true. Your Holiness, your relationship with the young lady of the Bretton family is …"
"Lovers." Rob did not hide it.
"As expected." The old man let out a long sigh. "Then it seems that I have no choice." He waved his hand, and a dark golden Grimoire appeared in the void. This Grimoire was bigger than any that the young man had ever seen. It actually covered the entire sky above the ship, and the rich holy power illuminated the entire sea as if it was daytime. The holy knight on the ship was bathed in it, and he only felt that his body and mind had been sublimated. Endless power surged in his body, and with a clang, he involuntarily pulled out his sword.
