Chapter 691
The Holy Light Academy was furious, but Cheng Lianhui still felt regretful. These guys were too useless. They couldn't even bring out You Yuanjing's true strength, and he made it to the end with the strength of a great magician. Moreover, even the magician might not be his ultimate strength.
After the competition, Cheng Lianhui called Yuan Jing over, and Yan Yuansen followed behind carelessly. The other students thought that this guy followed Junior You too closely, but Cheng Lianhui twitched his eyes when he saw him. He felt that since he had guessed his possible identity, it seemed as if he had been seen through by this guy. He became more casual in front of him, not worried at all that he would reveal his identity.
"I've got two things to ask you to do this time. No, three things," Cheng Lianhui added, "The first thing I think you should be happy to hear is something that was sent from the Miman Kingdom. The news was passed on when you won the individual championship. Take a look at the results from there."
Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows, not surprised at all. He wanted to become famous in the Seven Schools League so that the Depu family would know and regret it. Sure enough, he didn't have to do it himself, as someone did it for him.
Seeing the news from the Miman Kingdom, Yuan Jing smiled and said, "That's great. My mother's property will be handed over to the Miman Magic Academy to be used to support magicians of civilian origin."
Cheng Lianhui was very happy. With Yuan Jing's current status, that little bit of property would be a lot for ordinary people, but he might not be interested in it. It would be better to use it to play a bigger role: "I'll help you convey it. The second thing is the news that just came not long ago. That is, the red dragon that escaped from the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce has appeared again. As soon as he appeared, he destroyed a branch of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce and took away all the property inside."
Yan Yuansen raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Honglong did a great job on this matter. He was afraid that he would specifically confront the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce in the future.
Seeing their expressions, Cheng Lianhui couldn't help laughing. Were these two guys really not afraid that he would leak the secret? They didn't even try to cover it up.
Of course, he didn't think the Bauhinia Merchants were worthy of sympathy. They had imprisoned the Red Dragon for fifty-two years, extracted its blood, and stripped its scales, and they didn't allow the Red Dragon to come back for revenge? It all depended on who failed first and who was faster.
He coughed lightly and continued, "The third matter is more serious. Even if I don't say it, others can guess that it has something to do with you, Yuan Jing, because the formation has been handed over to the Magician Guild. Other forces will not do anything to you, but there is one force that will not let you go."
"The Church, huh? What will the Church do? This is clearly a good thing that will benefit the country and the people." Yuan Jing was not surprised to be targeted by the Church, but he would not be restrained by the Church's targeting and would not take out this thing that could enhance the collective combat effectiveness. This world is not peaceful, and he doesn't mind doing anything that can help mankind.
Cheng Lianhui sighed, "Everyone knows this, but the Church of Light has always been the only one in power. They may not say anything openly, but it is hard to say what actions they may take in private. The most powerful magician on the continent is still the Pope of the Church. After the league is over, both the individual champion and the team champion will be received by the Pope. You should be careful then. And Mr. Yan, you'd better stay put and don't show up."
They couldn't see through Yan Yuansen's identity, but the Pope might not. The Church was worried that it couldn't find any evidence against Yuan Jing, so wouldn't Yan Yuansen just deliver himself to the door? Losing a red dragon, it would be perfect to use a black dragon to compensate.
Yuan Jing and Yan Yuansen looked at each other, and Yuan Jing nodded and said, "Okay, then stay." Let Yan Yuansen stay in the space then.
Cheng Lianhui finally patted Yuan Jing on the shoulder and said, "In short, remember to be careful when facing the Pope." Cheng Lianhui was obviously very afraid of the Pope.
Yuan Jing nodded again. This was the strongest magician they had ever seen, so it was reasonable for them to be more cautious.
After Cheng Lianhui finished talking about the red dragon, the news spread in the Holy City the next day. Many dragon-slaying and dragon-hunting teams went out in pursuit of the red dragon, but so far no team has found the whereabouts of the red dragon. Who would have thought that the red dragon would show up on its own initiative and make a big move.
Even the students of Deya were eager to form a team to look for the red dragon after the Holy Light City was over. They also wanted to get Yuan Jing to join, but Yuan Jing refused. What a joke! He already had dragons around him, both Eastern and Western dragons. He was not interested in the red dragon at all.
After sending these people away, Yan Yuansen said, "I will go into the space tomorrow and go with you to see the Pope."
Yuan Jing held his chin and said, "I think the same thing. For some reason, I think the Pope is the big boss."
Yan Yuansen's expression became more serious: "Then we should be more careful and make more preparations tonight."
There was only the little golden dragon left in the space. Although the black dragon often bullied him in the past, he was not bored at all with someone as a companion. Now he was so bored that he was playing with his own tail. When he saw Yuan Jing and Yan Yuansen finally coming in, he was so happy that he let out a "whoosh" and pounced on them. However, before he could pounce on Yuan Jing, he was stopped by Yan Yuansen.
Yuan Jing flicked the little golden dragon's head in amusement and said, "Wait a little longer. After the league is completely over, we will leave school and continue our training."
The little golden dragon nodded his head repeatedly. Although the space was good, it was so small that it was not as fun as outside.
After a busy night, Yuan Jing appeared in front of everyone the next day as energetic as ever. He saw several students with dark circles under their eyes, as they were so excited that they hadn't closed their eyes all night. Although they didn't get along well with the Holy Light Academy, the Pope was a powerful being at the level of a god of magic, and they were excited at the thought of being received by the Pope.
Cheng Lianhui looked at their performance and shook his head secretly. He felt relieved when he saw that Yan Yuansen did not show up. He thought that Yan Yuansen was staying in Yuan Jing's room. When everyone was present, he would take everyone to the headquarters of the Church of Light, which was also the highest place in the entire holy city.
Cheng Lianhui sent them to the designated place where someone would receive them. Cheng Lianhui had other clergymen to greet them, who were also magic saints, and they had regular interactions. Cheng Lianhui secretly watched these students, especially You Yuanjing, leave, and then he withdrew his gaze.
The cardinal smiled and said, "Are you worried about them? Are you afraid that someone will eat them in the Pope's territory?"
Cheng Lianhui chuckled: "I am afraid that these children are ignorant and disturb the Pope. I haven't seen His Holiness for many years. I wonder if His Holiness is doing well now?"
The cardinal laughed, "The Pope is naturally a good person, but he often goes into seclusion to comprehend the will of the God of Light, so even we don't get to see him very often. By the way, is there any news from your student?"
Cheng Lianhui was surprised and asked, "You haven't been able to catch that guy yet? What's his whereabouts?"
He was really surprised, knowing that the Church would never let Leo go, or would never let go of anyone who dared to humiliate the Church. He didn't dare to determine how powerful the Church was in private, but it must be amazing. But if even the Church couldn't find Leo, was it the effect of his halo as the son of destiny?
The cardinal was testing Cheng Lianhui. Seeing that his expression was genuine, he sighed and shook his head, "We have found their tracks a few times, but lost track when we chased them. Now they may have entered the Orc Plains. You know, the Orc Plains is very vast. It's easy to hide a few people, but it's hard to find them."
"Is it the same with that female magician?" Cheng Lianhui asked curiously.
The cardinal frowned slightly and said, "The two are not in the same group. There are clues that they may be heading towards the Dark Continent."
Cheng Lianhui showed a surprised expression again, and did not hide it: "She was detained at the beginning because it was discovered that she had contact with a vampire who sneaked into Deya City. However, she was released before being interrogated. It can be said that there is a problem within Deya. Could it be that she is still in contact with the vampire? The vampire also escaped using the space transmission scroll."
"I see. I'm afraid they are really colluding with the Dark Continent. I'll have to ask Deya to help investigate this matter."
"Okay, if we have any clues we will inform the Church."
When it comes to dealing with the forces of darkness, Deya Magic Academy will do everything in its power.
While they were having a tentative conversation, Yuan Jing and his party were taken to an extremely solemn hall. Inside the hall there was a statue of a god, high up on top. Its eyes looked down, as if they could see through everyone's heart. Being watched by such a pair of eyes, everyone felt a huge amount of pressure, and they were very cautious and restrained.
Yuan Jing just looked up at the statue and then lowered his head like everyone else. It was the statue of the God of Light. There was indeed some inexplicable charm on the statue, which seemed to be somewhat similar to merit. Yuan Jing turned it over in his mind and realized that this should be the power of faith. The church was spread all over the place with many believers, and the resulting power of faith was also very huge.
According to historical records, there was a battle between the gods in ancient times. What was the battle for? The book says it was a battle between light and evil, but maybe it was just a battle of faith. In the end, the god of light won, and the believers of other gods could only hide in the corner.
"The Pope of Light has arrived!"
Yuan Jing felt that his team members were almost unable to breathe. He was also sensing the situation in the hall. After the voice sounded, a special aura appeared in the hall. This aura continued to expand and encompassed everyone.
When this aura spread to his surroundings, Yuan Jing had an urge to break free, but he controlled himself at the last moment and tried his best to restrain his breath. He didn't even extend a tentacle of his soul power, and he lost communication with Yan Yuansen in the space.
With this aura, the owner of this aura can see every change in everyone's expression, and no change can escape his perception.
Is this the power of the God of Law? It is indeed not to be underestimated, and the moment the Pope appeared, Yuan Jing felt that he and the statue had become one, which means that he could draw on the power of faith surrounding the statue at any time for his own use, so the real strength of the Pope was higher than he expected.
