Several nuns wearing white robes with silver edges dressed up Loran Hill, and then Ingrid handed over the staff that the girl had used during the competition and placed it in Loran Hill's hand.
Only then did they follow the silver-haired girl and walk out of the Starlight Cathedral.
"Luo Xier!"
"Luo Xier!"
The scene before them was like a fanatical star-chasing scene, with students crowding the open space in front of the Starlight Cathedral. Some of them were genuine followers of Roxelle, some were simply curious about her and wanted to see what she looked like, while others were drawn in by the crowd, eager to see who she was.
In any case, no one had any ill intentions, so Loran Hill had no choice but to walk out of the church and wave to the classmates below, thus satisfying their curiosity.
In this way, similar scenes continued in Emenas for several days, and the enthusiasm of the students gradually subsided and became similar to usual.
------
The cemetery on the north side of the Temple Academy has a quiet environment. Stone tablets are arranged among the green grass. Roxelle and Ingrid walk among them.
"At this year's Winter Festival Gala, Bumansha once again won the championship with an absolute advantage." Ingrid talked about the recent events in the school.
"However, other amazing talents have also emerged, such as Eloi and Ye Ling from the Tower Academy, and our academy's second-best perennially, Elro." When mentioning Elro's name, the knight lady smiled unconsciously.
"Elro is in the fifth grade now, right?" said Loran Hill.
After this winter, I will be promoted to the fourth grade. Looking back, time flies.
"Yes, he's about to graduate. I heard he's already contacted an organization, seemingly a necromancer faction in the Verdant North. They're famous for their arts of ice, bones, and war."
"In today's Western Continent, the only place that doesn't discriminate against necromancers and treats them well is the territory under Duke Raven."
"The Undead Sequence..." Loran Hill whispered the name, recalling Trinasha's teachings. It seemed that this extraordinary sequence was still full of hardships.
She was also interested in the Undead Sequence, but later because she practiced the Natural Sequence, Demon Sequence, Angel Sequence, etc., she did not have much time and energy to take care of other sequences.
While the Mercury Dynasty might have made many mistakes, their achievements were not negligible. She did not discriminate against or dislike those who practiced this sequence. However, the general public was not so rational. Many still held prejudices, believing that those who practiced the Undead Sequence were abnormal, cold-blooded, and cruel, lacking humanity, and so on.
Some of the necromancer's methods can easily create such a perception, so some prejudice is inevitable.
The girl shook her head slightly. Changing people's views requires continuous efforts from both sides. It is not something that can be done overnight. It is better to take it step by step. Perhaps we have to wait for the next large-scale improvement of the Undead Sequence.
She asked Ingrid about the Sanctuary again.
"Did Ingrid grow up in the Sanctuary?"
"Yes, I was adopted by a nun in the church when I was young. Then, when I was a little older, I was sent to a church school to learn some things. Then, because of my good physical fitness, I became a knight."
Knight in the world of Ivar is not simply a title for a type of soldier. To be called a knight, one must have at least Sequence 3 strength and pass the assessment and certification of some organization or institution and be awarded a badge. Only then can one be called a knight.
Although the assessment methods varied from house to house, knights generally possessed a high level of education. They were literate, familiar with local laws, possessed skilled combat techniques, and were able to work together effectively. Among these, the best knights even possessed excellent military command abilities.
In peacetime, they may be busy with different things, but once a war breaks out, they will be recruited by local nobles or organizations to become officers of the army.
Therefore, if you want to quickly understand the military strength of a certain noble, just look at how many certified knights he has under his command and in his territory. The more knights he has, the stronger he is.
In some countries' elite troops, all members of their legions are knights. Such outstanding individuals, fighting together in a unique way in the war sequence, can unleash tremendous power and are often the pillars of the country.
For example, the Lightning Knights of Zephyr, the Griffin Knights of the Salus family, the Red Dragon Knights of the Pascal family, the Unicorn Knights of the Wordsworth family, and so on.
"Has Luo Xier considered where to go after graduation?" Ingrid asked.
"I haven't decided on this yet. Maybe... I'll just go around a bit?" said the girl.
"Is that so? How about coming to the Holy Land? No matter where you go, strength is the most important thing. There are many Heavenly Sequences in the Holy Land, and you can ask many seniors for advice. When you advance, you will take fewer detours and it will be smoother." Ingrid invited sincerely.
Loran Hill, who had originally planned to visit the Holy Land, did not refuse at this time, but before going, she still wanted to know more about the situation there.
"Ingrid grew up in the Sanctuary. What's life like there?"
In the quiet cemetery, the two walked and talked on the path. Birds landed on the branches and chirped. Some white snow fell from the branches to the grass leaves below, turning into drops of water.
----------
Tower Academy.
"Hahaha, stupid Night Spirit can't catch me."
A burst of hearty laughter came from one side of the tower, and then many students saw a girl with short brown-black hair riding a lion flying past the window in the corridor.
Following behind was an angry girl with off-white twin ponytails, riding on a dark golden dragon, chasing the lion.
Although the winged lion was not flying very fast, the dark golden dragon behind it was even slower. Its outstretched wings were like heavy rocks, and were left behind by the flying lion.
"Ahhh, so angry!"
Ye Ling stomped his feet behind the dragon and spoke to the dragon under him.
"Eloi, can you go any faster? Can you do that?"
The giant dragon below snorted unhappily, and then made a thin sound that was inconsistent with its size.
"I can't do that, Ye Ling. Flying is not my forte."
"Woo, Alena, just wait. When Sister Loran comes back, I'll go and complain to you, saying you bullied me." Seeing Alena riding the black flying lion and disappearing among the mountains, Ye Ling sat on the dragon's back in frustration.
The dark golden dragon carried Ye Ling and landed on a platform. Then its body dissipated and re-condensed into a girl. She was about the same height as Ye Ling, wearing a cute bubble skirt and light blue spiral twintails.
"We've been flying for a while and I'm hungry. Let's go eat." Eloi said this as she pulled up the slightly unhappy Ye Ling.
"All right."
The two walked hand in hand down the corridor, talking to each other and soon bursting into quiet laughter.
