"Your Excellency Qin Mo, the entrance to the inner hall, the Gate of Sages, is just ahead. Those qualified to enter and exit through here are all powerful individuals recognized by the Holy Temple."
"Oh! What are they doing?"
"This must be the inner temple's teachers testing the invited 'geniuses.' Once they pass the test, they will become inner temple practitioners, instead of trainees like us."
"My cousin and Bai Longtang are both qualified to compete for an invitation to the inner palace of the Duchy of Venice, which is why Bai Longtang has always been hostile to them."
"Only one person from each powerful kingdom is qualified to come here to be examined by the temple's powerful figures; ordinary duchies are not qualified at all. Being qualified to enter here is the dream and pride of every 'genius' in the Western Continent."
Giulio picked up where Elisa left off, murmuring to himself, his eyes filled with longing that even surpassed the adoration he had shown Elisa when he looked at her.
Of course, at this moment, the longing in Elisa's eyes was stronger than that in Giulio's. She only admired power, and before today, Giulio was not even in her heart.
Qin Mo pointed to a boy being brutally beaten in the small square and said, "This... is what you call... a dream? Then this dream is a bit too tragic."
Elisa was once speechless at Qin Mo's words. She couldn't understand why Qin Mo always had the ability and methods to drive people crazy, making her furious time and time again.
"Your Excellency Qin Mo, you underestimate me. My dream is there, that's my idol."
Elisa pointed to the Gate of Sages on the stone wall. The Gate of Sages was similar in style to the Hall of Sages, but much smaller. However, its ancient and profound aura was exceptionally strong.
Upon closer inspection, Qin Mo noticed that unlike the Hall of Sages, which was entirely made of granite, the three large doors of the Gate of Sages seemed to be entirely... cast in bronze.
There wasn't a large group of priests and knights like in the Temple of Sages on the steps outside the gate; there were only six or seven people there.
One of the knights had a purple cross pattern on his armor, signifying his esteemed status as a knight commander. He was also tall and imposing, with piercing eyes and an undisguised, flamboyant aura.
Elisa wasn't pointing at the cool knight commander, but at a woman in a white gauze robe in the corner.
The woman was in that corner all along, but Qin Mo hadn't sensed her at all. This was the first time Qin Mo's perception had been enhanced by Starshine since then.
The woman's robe was the color of a divine robe, and its style was quite bulky. Yet, it reminded Qin Mo of Audrey Hepburn's heartbreaking wedding dress—cold, glamorous, and sacred.
A white veil, identical to the one on Elisa's face, concealed her features, but strangely, Qin Mo didn't have any romantic thoughts about it.
It's worth noting that Qin Mo not only has an abnormal eye for detail, but her ability to fill in the blanks has also been honed through countless Japanese romance films. Yet, she can't quite picture whether her appearance should be heroic, charming, or solemn.
