Divine Flame Crystal
Chapter 87: The Pope of Light
There was no conversation that night. The sunlight shone through the window onto Xingluo, warming his whole body. He stretched out and looked at the sky, his eyes gradually becoming firm.
A group of people walked along the straight central avenue of Prontera. At this time, the city was quieter and less noisy. Perhaps the people in this city have not woken up yet. Xingluo looked up and saw a magnificent circular building at the end of the road. The outer wall had many unique hollow decorations.
Facing them was a huge archway, more than 10 meters high. As for the width, Xingluo and his companions walked side by side without feeling it was narrow at all. As the sun rose, golden rays of sunlight sprinkled on this giant building, giving it a touch of mysterious beauty.
Vice Dean Orton led them through many twists and turns and arrived at the interior of the building. A white-haired old man was sitting in the middle of the room, leaning back in a chair with his eyes closed. Xingluo discovered that there were many milky white spots of light around him, as if he was the source of light in the world. This was a phenomenon that only occurred when the light element was extremely rich.
The old man held a gorgeous scepter with a light-attribute magic core inlaid on it. Light-attribute monsters are rare, and Xing Shi really couldn't figure out what kind of monster possessed such a large magic core, but it must be extremely powerful. The strength of the Holy See of Light was self-evident as they were able to kill it.
When Vice Dean Oton saw the old man, his expression became serious, he straightened his robes and said, "Oton from Luoshen Academy is leading the team to participate in the competition."
At this time, the old man who had closed his eyes opened them. Xingluo suddenly felt that the light in the whole room began to converge towards his eyes, as if his eyes were a black hole that could absorb light. Then he found that everything around him had darkened, and only the old man's eyes were left in front of him, emitting a soft light. At this time, the old man's somewhat dry voice sounded, with a hint of gradually dissipating emptiness, "Well, Orton, long time no see, is Constantine okay?"
"He is doing well, thanks to the Pope's concern."
"Sit down first. Other academies haven't arrived yet." After saying that, the Pope closed his eyes again. Xingluo felt as if time had just frozen. The Pope's eyes were still lingering in his mind. It was not until he sat down for a long time that he gradually recovered. "Is this one of the top masters on the continent? He is so strong. He can kill me with just a glance."
Xingluo didn't like this feeling. He gritted his teeth secretly, his eyes flashing with unwilling flames. Finally, he forced himself to calm down and returned to his usual image of the honest fat man, showing a harmless expression.
He had small eyes to begin with, so no one noticed the odd look in his eyes. Pandora seemed to have met the Pope before, so she didn't seem to be at all restrained. She ate while shaking her little feet.
"For the sake of fairness, every time the four major colleges compete, the most powerful neutral force on the continent, the Holy See of Light, will be invited to preside over the competition. Therefore, the fairness of the competition is naturally beyond doubt. You just need to play to your strength and win the competition. But this time..." Orton paused here, as if even he couldn't explain it, so he didn't continue.
"And Mo, you don't need to worry about your attributes. Although the opposite of light is darkness, they dare not attack a student of Luoshen Academy openly. As for the future, as long as you don't do anything that harms the world, they won't do anything to you even if you leave the academy. Although they are quite repulsive to the dark attribute, they won't arrest and torture anyone with the dark attribute."
"They are too busy dealing with some of the people who are truly threatening the Holy See of Light. It is said that there are also people with dark attributes among them. However, most of them are working in the Inquisition, so you can fight without worry, and nothing will happen."
Mo came from a big family, so he naturally knew something about these things, otherwise he would not dare to expose his fighting spirit attributes in public. In addition, Vice Dean Orton’s detailed explanation this time made him completely relieved. He couldn’t help but reveal a look of gratitude in his eyes as he glanced at Vice Dean Orton.
"Everyone take a break and adjust your condition to your peak. The competition will begin soon. And don't be nervous. I see how good you are. Just perform normally." Vice President Orton boosted morale with some lame words.
However, Xingluo and the others did not laugh, because some people are destined to be not good at doing certain things, and even so, they still have to work hard to do it for them, which is undoubtedly touching.
Xingluo and the others closed their eyes one after another and began to adjust their states, preparing for the next battle, while Pandora and the others also began to enter the state of cultivation. Vice Dean Oton looked at these hard-working little guys with admiration in his eyes, "It is because of these outstanding children that he feels that the future of mankind will definitely be more brilliant."
Soon, students from other academies came here and took their seats one after another. The Pope opened his eyes in due time and the students stopped practicing. This time, Xingluo found that the ethereal aura that did not belong to humans in the Pope's eyes disappeared, as did the previous illusion. He couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. That feeling as if he was an ant was really not a good one.
"The competition among the four major academies has been held for thousands of years. Many geniuses have emerged in each session, and after hard work, many of these geniuses have become powerful people of their generation." Having said this, the Pope paused slightly and looked towards the Luoshen Academy.
"Storm Lord Constantine was once the first in the four major colleges' competition. Now he has become the dean of the Fallen God College... As long as you perform well in the competition, if you are noticed by a strong person or a big force, you will rise to the top from now on. Success is just an inevitable path."
The Pope spoke for a while, seemed a little tired, waved his hand and closed his eyes again. However, no one thought that the Pope was impolite, and no one dared to underestimate him. Even though he looked a little old now, his every move seemed to contain a trace of the power of law. His every move could affect the surrounding environment, and even a glance could make Xingluo fall into despair. This is the leader of the Holy See of Light, the Pope of Light.
"I'm Fernando, the mayor of Prontera. Let me explain the rules of the game. Some people may already know them, but each game will be more or less different. If you commit a foul, don't blame me for being ruthless." The person who spoke was the referee of this game. He was upright and had a square face. He hadn't smiled at all since he came here.
"Hmph." Pandora disliked this kind of people the most. She snorted coldly and turned her head away.
"I guess most people are coming to Prontera for the first time. Everyone has already experienced the beauty and prosperity here. In order to make the competition more interesting, we in Prontera have also prepared generous prizes for the winners."
"Prize?" When the greedy Xingluo heard these two words, he sat up straight, his eyes slightly shining. Pandora saw this scene again, and she glanced at him with disdain, "Idiot!"
Xingluo naturally wouldn't bother with a little girl, and he was used to being despised by Pandora. Although this idea was scary, habit itself was a scary thing.
