Three days had passed, and Roland waited outside the Holy Realm for Schuck, who had come to pick him up.
As the holy city of the Church of Light, all the buildings in the Holy Realm were built with large, smooth white rocks, including the city wall.
The city wall of the capital of Hollevin was already very tall and wide, but it was far from the city wall of the Holy Realm.
Standing under the city wall, the huge white rocks reflected the sun's light, and looking up, it was as if a straight hill was blocking his eyes, which was quite oppressive.
But Roland also had a feeling that he wanted to fly in with a whoosh.
After all, Mages were unconventional people.
But fortunately, he restrained his suicidal behavior.
The holy land of the Church was not the capital.
The royal family cared about interests, but religious fanatics wouldn't reason with you. If they felt that you insulted the Church, they would probably fight to the death.
Schuck came out to pick Roland up in casual clothes, and the two of them teased each other for a while.
Then Roland asked, "Why do you always go back to the Holy Realm? I thought you'd be flying around on Marguerite every day. "
"It's not that I don't want to travel," said Schuck helplessly. "It's just that the Holy Realm doesn't want the Saint Samurai to run around. If there's nothing else, they want me to stay in the Holy Realm every day. "
Roland walked side by side with Schuck and asked curiously, "What's wrong? The Holy Realm doesn't trust you? "
"No, they're just afraid that something will happen to us." Schuck said with a bitter smile, "Every decade or so, one or two Saint Samurai will degenerate into Black Knights. Not only will they lose manpower, but the Black Knights will also turn around and attack the Holy Realm. Every time a Saint Samurai degenerates, it's a big deal. As time goes by, the Holy Realm gets scared. "
Roland understood what he meant.
The Saint Samurai's code of conduct was too high. Not to mention the temptations of all kinds of demons, it was easy for them to be set up and harmed. For example, a Saint Samurai could be tricked into saying that someone was killing people everywhere, and the Saint Samurai would believe it and kill the so-called bad guy, only to be punished by the gods.
Also, the Church of Light wasn't completely righteous. There was also a structure like the Inquisition, which did some dark things for the interests of the Church.
After wandering outside for a long time, the Saint Samurai's faith would easily collapse if they accidentally bumped into their own people doing bad things.
Therefore, Sanctum had always disliked Saint Samurai running around outside.
Unless there were clear goals and requirements.
However, neither the Pope nor the Holy Lady could order the Saint Samurai to do something they didn't like. Most of the time, they would just persuade them.
He tried to persuade her nicely.
Most of the Saint Samurai had good personalities and were easily persuaded.
Roland and Schuck were at the end of the line at the gate under the city wall.
Although Roland was also wearing a Mage robe, he didn't receive any special privileges this time.
Although the people of the Church of Light would not look down on Mages, they would not look up to them either.
They queued up to enter the Holy Realm of Light. In front of them was a very wide white stone path. How big was it?
At the very least, it was equivalent to the standard eight-lane highway of the Celestial Empire.
On both sides of the road were white stone buildings of varying heights, extending far into the distance. As Roland gazed into the distance, he saw a huge white palace that seemed to be able to cover half of the sky in the distance.
The intense white holy light surrounded the enormous palace. Even though it was almost a kilometer away, one could still feel the magnificence and sacredness of the palace.
After a brief daze, Roland sighed. "I feel like I'm looking up at the Three Gorges Dam from the bottom of the floodplain."
Schuck nodded. "I felt the same when I first saw the Temple of Light. This huge building is no worse than the one in my place. "
They walked on the white stone path, surrounded by a lot of passersby.
Most of them were wearing white clothes or robes, and only a few were wearing clothes of other colors.
There were quite a lot of vendors on both sides of the road, but none of them were hawking loudly. They just sat quietly and looked at the passersby eagerly.
Although the entire Holy Land had a large population, and the pedestrians on the streets seemed a little crowded, it was not noisy at all.
It wasn't that the passersby didn't talk, but when they did, they tried to keep their voices down.
Schuck led them in the direction of the Temple of Light and said, "I won't show you around anymore. Because you are not a believer of the Church of Light, many places are not open to you. If you wander around, you might be misunderstood. I'll take you directly to the Grand Library. After all, for us, there's really nothing to see here even though it's lively. "
Roland couldn't have asked for more. He was really afraid that Schuck would take him on a tour or a walk in the city as usual.
He wasn't even interested in women at this moment, much less the scenery.
They walked for another ten minutes and finally reached the bottom of the Temple of Light.
The palace was essentially a hill, with countless white square stones piled up to form an unbelievably huge foundation. Roland raised his head for a while and sighed helplessly.
Was the Grand Library in this temple?
It seemed that the security was very tight.
Roland had seen several entrances to the palace from a distance, which were all heavily guarded by Guardians of Light in white robes. If it weren't for Schuck, he wouldn't have been qualified to enter.
While Roland was thinking that, Schuck suddenly turned right and led him to a rock tower that was relatively smaller.
"This is the Grand Library." Schuck smiled. "Don't you feel disappointed?"
Roland shook his head.
Schuck continued, "That's because it's built next to the Grand Temple. That's why you think it's small. In fact, it covers an area of more than thirty acres."
Roland didn't have a direct feeling at this moment, but after he entered the tower and couldn't see the Grand Temple next to it, Roland realized that Schuck was right.
This Grand Library was truly huge.
The neat bookshelves were like an ocean of trees that stretched as far as the eye could see. There were also many female Priests who were moving and categorizing books back and forth.
Not far away, there were many priests in white robes quietly flipping through the pages of their books.
A female Priest who was working on the documents raised her head and accidentally saw Schuck.
Then, with her eyes glittering, she walked to him and asked, "Mr. Schuck, why are you here?"
"I'm here to see the Holy Lady. I have an appointment with her," said Schuck with a smile.
"The Holy Lady is in the reading room on the third floor."
"Thank you."
Schuck nodded and led Roland away.
Behind them, the priestess was still looking at Schuck's back reluctantly.
Four minutes passed. Roland saw the Holy Lady of Light in a spacious but simple room.
