Chapter 110 Care
Callisto had a faint smile on his face, and his eyes looking forward were gentle yet firm.
He was wearing an extremely formal and luxurious papal robe, with layers upon layers of overlapping robes. Such overlapping layers of robes should have been heavy and cumbersome, but when worn by Pope Callisto, they showed an extremely solemn and majestic dignity.
The interwoven golden embroidery covered every inch of the white inner robe, and a dark red metal cross dotted the edge of the collar. The outermost layer was an extremely thick golden silk robe, the satin surface of the robe reflected the shimmering light of water under the light, and the wide hem dragged on the clean marble floor, extending nearly ten meters. On this nearly ten-meter hem, there were inlaid with complex and exquisite patterns, and various jewels and gems of various colors were inlaid on it, which was beautiful and expensive.
Callisto's long platinum hair was carefully tied behind her back. She wore a tall crown on her head that matched her golden robe. The crown was a deformed pentagon, with dark gold as the base and red and blue as the secondary colors. It was surrounded and inlaid with gems of various sizes, forming a papal crown that symbolized power.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, Callisto's steps were still neither hurried nor slow, calm and composed, with a nonchalant temperament that transcended the joy of things and his own sorrow.
The bishop and the nuns walked in front of him, and Callisto was the only one left behind.
There were hundreds of people in front of him, but he walked alone, yet he displayed the tremendous coercive power of more than a hundred people.
The supreme being of the human race, His Holiness Pope Callisto.
His name is engraved on the tallest monument in the Holy See's Basilica of Glory, and next to it are the names of all the popes of past dynasties who were extremely outstanding and had countless achievements.
Pope Callisto is the only person in history who has his name engraved on the sacred monument before his death.
His followers are spread across almost the entire continent, and his fame has spread to the habitats of intelligent races.
The entire opening ceremony of the Holy Son Selection Tournament was less than one-tenth of his brief appearance.
From the moment Callisto appeared, he captured the attention of everyone present.
Everyone's eyes followed him closely. The candidates who were originally sitting on their chairs stood up instantly and looked at His Holiness the Pope who was walking slowly in front of them.
Lu Yi also stood up following the actions of the people around him.
The loud and excited screams and cheers in my ears have not stopped since the moment Callisto appeared, including those from the people in the spectator area and the candidates in the candidate area.
Lu Yi's head was buzzing from the long-lasting sound, and he subconsciously used his magic power to weaken the sound reaching his ears.
But even so, the large number of people's cheeks flushed with excitement still gave him a great shock.
"Your Holiness the Pope!!!"
"Your Majesty Callisto—"
“God of Light! That’s His Holiness the Pope!”
"Your Majesty! Please look at me! Please bless this humble believer!!"
No matter how many times he faces it, Lu Yi is still shocked by the existence of this almost crazy belief.
[“…No kidding, Kaka is even more like a god than Ares, at least that’s the case on the Isaiah continent.”] Lu Yi sighed.
Ares is the god of war and murder, and he has no reputation at all among humans.
Not to mention believers, there are probably only a handful of people who know about the existence of this god.
[“Gods are like humans, and humans are like gods. From a certain perspective, this can be considered a two-way journey.”]
Lu Yi looked at Callisto's faint smile, trying to discern even the slightest bit of other emotions from it.
As expected, he didn't see anything in the end.
Callisto's perfect smile was as steady as his hand when filling in the answer sheet for the college entrance examination. Not to mention the flaws, after looking at it for a long time, even Lu Yi began to feel a sense of peace from the bottom of his heart.
No wonder Callisto is always described as having a compassionate divinity.
I'm afraid that some people who are bad but not completely bad will be educated by Callisto's unique temperament and immediately turn over a new leaf if they look at him a few more times.
Lu Yi thought a little exaggeratedly.
Callisto still walked leisurely at the end of the team. The cheers from the crowd became smaller, but still continued at a low level.
Lu Yi's thoughts have already expanded to the causes of this special temperament.
When Callisto faced him in private, this special temperament was not obvious, and even did not show it most of the time. It was not as shocking as it was at this moment.
Rather than the temperament developed from being in a high position for a long time, it seems more like there is some special force supporting this special temperament.
Is this special temperament towards the outside world controllable?
Or is it actually a way of using the highly affinity magic of the element of light that is manifested after the level reaches a certain extremely high level?
A professor from Braceside had once talked to him about the reorganization and advanced use of some elements.
Among the seven major elements, the element of light is the most special.
The most powerful wizard of light currently recognized is Callisto.
The diligent and studious Lu Yi hypothesized seriously and secretly decided that he would give it a try someday.
"Look! It's His Holiness the Pope! It's His Holiness the Pope! God of Light, I finally saw His Holiness the Pope with my own eyes!!" Milu said excitedly.
"His Holiness the Pope is even more perfect than people say! He is worthy of being the strongest of the human race. I can't even detect the slightest fluctuation of his magic power... Even if I concentrate all my energy to observe and capture it, I can't find it! Is this the seventh-level peak magician who has one foot in the holy magician?" Someone couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.
"Oh my God! God of Light, I finally understand what divinity is... Your Holiness the Pope, Your Holiness the Pope!" someone sighed.
"Lant, why are you still in a daze? That's His Holiness the Pope!" Taber noticed Lu Yi's wandering eyes and tugged at his sleeve slightly to try to bring him back to his senses.
Lu Yi blinked, and his light amber eyes refocused.
"No, I was just thinking about..."
Lu Yi's voice suddenly stopped.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lu Yi looked forward with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"...Did His Holiness look at us just now?" he asked.
"Ah?" Taber was stunned and turned back to look at the Vatican's team. "Is there?!"
"Yes! Yes!" Milu couldn't help but said excitedly, "Just now! Just when you were talking to Lante, His Holiness the Pope's eyes moved towards us! His Holiness must have been looking at the candidates!"
Lu Yi didn't say anything, his expression was a little subtle.
[“857, did Callisto glance at me just now? Was it my illusion?”]
At a quick glance, he actually made eye contact with Calixto who was a hundred meters away.
It's hard to tell whether this is just a coincidence or has some deeper meaning.
857 specifically retrieved the backend log and confirmed: [Yes, Lu Yi! He is looking at you! He is looking at Rant Hobbs! ]
[“Oh.”] Lu Yi raised his eyebrows, [“He can actually recognize Lant from the crowd? Could it be that what I said a few days ago really came in handy?”]
857 continued to flip through the mission log. Because the mission log did not cover the entire route, it could only use limited information to try to restore events that occurred in corners that they did not notice.
[On the one hand...] 857 suddenly said with a look of excitement, as if he had discovered something, [Got it! Paso also came to Kadivan yesterday! He even met with Callisto in secret...]
Lu Yi paused slightly and repeated subconsciously: [“Paso…?”]
Paso Aparri.
The current Beast King.
Lu Yi hasn't seen Paso for a long time since Paso came to see Rant that night.
Whether in Lu Yi's main perspective or in the hosted memory of Lant's vest perspective, the name Paso seems to have been a thing of the past for a long time.
Come to think of it, that was during the freshman competition.
It was indeed several months ago.
[Yes, yes!] 875 became excited, [Let me see, let me see, what did they talk about? Thank God there is a mission log to record this part...]
…
One day ago.
Katifan, the reception palace of the Vatican.
Paso sat on the soft sofa in the hall with his legs crossed, looking very natural.
He was dressed simply and neatly, and there was a hint of maturity and calmness in his eyes.
But after Callisto showed up, Paso raised his broken eyebrows slightly, still revealing a bit of unruly.
In his hand he still held the cold water brought to him by the temple servant, and his gaze towards Callisto became more casual than before, or more confident.
"Why did you come to me suddenly?" asked Callisto.
Callisto slowly sat down opposite Paso. Although he was asking a question, there was a hint of expected ridicule in his eyes.
The teasing in his eyes was too obvious, and Paso pursed his lips and did not answer immediately.
Callisto knew exactly what Paso was up to, "If you hadn't told me, I would have gone ahead."
"Wait a moment." Paso put down the water cup and took back his crossed legs.
Callisto raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "If you have something to say, please tell me now. The Holy See has a lot of things going on recently."
Paso sneered, "Your Holiness, you are joking again. No matter how many things the Holy See has to deal with, they can't be handled by you, right? It's me who has been running around for the past few months..."
There were many more things going on within the Orc Tribe than Paso had expected. He had hardly had a full night's sleep in the past few months.
Callisto also laughed, but he spoke without any reservations.
"Oh, really? I can sense your presence in Kadifan from time to time... I don't know how honored Kadifan is to have the Beast King linger so much that he would still come to see you despite all the hassles."
After being exposed by his few casual words, Paso felt a little embarrassed. He coughed and said, "You humans understand the art of language. I can't argue with you!"
Callisto chuckled and shook his head without commenting on his words.
He didn't understand Paso's thoughts, but generally respected the blessing.
"So now can you tell me what you are here for?"
"You're asking even though you already know the answer." Paso snorted, "When did His Holiness become so bad-tempered?"
They both knew about Paso's visit, but they pretended to be ignorant.
Callisto smiled, "Just relax once in a while."
What he had just said to Paso was the truth. The affairs of the Vatican had indeed been numerous and complicated in the past few days. He had been busy for several days and was not in a good mood.
As the first person in the Holy See, His Holiness Pope Callisto can indeed do as Paso said, without doing too much work personally.
But Callisto didn't want to do that.
Maybe this can also be attributed to his desire for control?
Callisto smiled and lowered his eyes, playing with the cup in his hand.
"Okay, I know what you mean. Let me take care of a certain new student from St. Dover, right?"
Speaking of that someone, Paso couldn't help but smile.
"Yes, Lant Hobbs."
He whispered Rant's name softly, as if he had recited it countless times in his mind.
There is an indescribable sense of cherishment contained in it.
—Lant Hobbs.
A liar.
"You should take a good look in the mirror right now and take a good look at the expression on your face right now," said Callisto.
"Perhaps you would like me to raise a water mirror for you?"
"No, thank you." Paso restrained the smile on his face.
Callisto looked down on his worthless appearance, raised his hand to his chin and asked: "Have you dealt with all your affairs? Aparri, it has been a long time now..."
Seeing that Callisto was talking about serious matters, the smile on Paso's face faded.
"It's almost done." He nodded slightly.
“Oh, I see…”
Callisto smiled, unable to tell whether he felt more regretful or happy for him.
The two people's smiles were deep and shallow, and finally turned into a tacit understanding of the profound meaning between them.
