Tonight, far away from Caesar, two pieces of news came from the Holy See, each more sensational than the last.

One is the new saint of the Vatican who, together with her companions, defeated the legendary dragon of destruction and brought its head back to the Vatican.

The Saint held a canonization ceremony today and said that she would reward Saint Nelly's three teammates.

The other news is even more explosive.

As one of the most powerful forces in the world, the Pope of the Holy See must choose his successor to pass on the throne.

If the latter news had not appeared, the former would definitely be the biggest news in decades, but when the second news appeared, it was nothing.

This continent has never lacked strong men. Every strong man of epic or legendary level has some impressive battle records. The ultimate destiny of all strong men is to serve as stepping stones for stronger men.

The Dragon of Destruction is a giant dragon that has been wreaking havoc at the junction of the Ornn Empire, the Demon Continent, and the Orc Tribe. It is also an extremely top-notch existence among the legendary ones.

Because of their sensitive position, it was not easy for the three forces to clean up. Which powerful force did not have a legendary warrior to mobilize? The powerful dragon race could challenge several of the same level at the same level, but it did not apply to the legendary level.

Which legendary expert in the previous epic or emerald level did not suppress the geniuses of his generation?

Not long ago, someone discovered traces of fierce fighting deep in the territory of the Dragon of Destruction. Although some people speculated that the dragon might have been defeated, due to the horror of the aftermath, the gold-level team did not dare to investigate further.

Creatures like dragons usually have a long dormant period, and their territory is barren with nothing precious. There would be no crazy adventure team that would risk their lives just to check whether the Dragon of Destruction is dead or not.

It was not until the Holy Mountain canonized the Saint that people received accurate news that a four-man team had defeated the Dragon of Destruction.

The news of the Pope's succession shocked everyone.

The territory of the Holy See is even larger than that of Orne. At that time, the continent was in chaos, and the current Pope stepped forward to quell the war. All the people he saved spontaneously supported him to become the leader. Now more than four hundred years have passed.

Countless legends have risen and fallen on this land, but the Pope who fought all his life remains standing. Why do we suddenly have to choose the next Pope now?

The life span of humans is not very long, but that is only for ordinary people. As a legendary man among the legendary ranks, the Pope is now no more than 600 years old. Even if those who died early in battle are included, the average life span of the legendary ranks is more than 2,000 years old. It is obviously unreasonable to retire at this time.

In the Holy See, someone from the Orn Empire released a strange monster. It was a bird-shaped monster with beautiful golden-red feathers. The man tied the letter to be delivered to its legs, pushed it high into the sky, and flew away.

This bird-shaped magical beast is the Phoenix, and is also the origin of the name of Phoenix University of Magic. As it flapped its wings and flew into the air, blue flames burned on its body. It let out a painful cry, endured the severe pain and turned into a stream of light and flew towards the direction of King Ornn.

Just over four hours later, a blue aurora arrived at the palace in the inner city of Orne, silently passed through the palace's barrier, and landed in the deepest part of the palace.

The news quickly passed through layers of communication and reached the hands of Ornn's current ruler.

"The Pope will take over? The Dragon of Destruction has seen the corpse and has confirmed that he has been executed?" In the emperor's bedroom, the man, who had not had time to put on his clothes, sat on the bed with his chest exposed, listening to the report from his subordinates.

"Two members of the Dragon Slayer Team are human?" Allen IV asked, "Besides the Saint, who is the other one?"

"It should be a legendary adventurer from our Orn Empire. According to intelligence, he is an adventurer named Xi Ze, and he should be the leader of the dragon hunting team. According to the divination of the astrologers, he should be in the capital at present. However, because his level is too high, even if he is not deliberately hiding, it is difficult for the astrologers to find his location."

"Too high a level? Isn't Mr. Pumei also a legendary astrologer? Have you asked him?" Allen IV stood up and a maid was helping him to dress.

"I have already asked him. Mr. Pu Mei said that the mist on his fate star is like cotton with poisonous needles inserted in it. It is okay if it fluctuates gently, but if you probe it forcefully, you will be at risk of being pricked by the poisonous needles. It is also easy to be discovered by the owner of the fate star, and thus become enemies with him."

"That's right." Allen IV nodded. "For Legendary warriors, we should still adopt the strategy of making friends with them. He didn't deliberately hide his position, probably because he wanted to make friends with us."

"You will now start looking for the brave warrior Caesar in the capital and publicize his deeds of slaying the dragon."

He dressed and walked out of the palace. A guard with long black hair like a lion's mane, muscular body and a huge sword on his back quickly followed him. Allen IV ordered: "Just write a biography. The name is: "The Story of the Heroes Who Sought the Dragon". You can collect the content yourself. I want to see the finished product within a week."

"Also, prepare for the awarding ceremony for the brave Nishizawa immediately, and hold it as soon as the brave is found."

"I'll go right away." the guard responded.

"Wait." He stopped her and said, "How many epic-level mages are currently employed by the court magicians?"

The female official waiting nearby replied, "Your Majesty, there are currently twelve court magicians on duty. If we want to cast the [Mirror of the Void] tomorrow, I'm afraid we're still short of a few."

[Mirror of the Void], an epic-level shaping magic, can project scenes from far away in front of you. Allen IV wants to watch the selection ceremony of the Pope candidate held on the Holy Mountain tomorrow.

It's just that the Holy Mountain is very far from Ornn, and the amount of mana consumed over a distance of tens of thousands of miles is probably an astronomical figure. This kind of work would be easy if a legendary master were to do it, but that would be too disrespectful of a legendary master. This kind of existence can easily destroy a city with a flip of his hand, and you want him to do a live broadcast for you?

Let's let the epic mages of the lower level come. The Empire is not short of talents, but the creatures like mages have bad tempers. They are busy with their own experiments or practicing magic every day. The Empire employs many low-level mages, but the number of high-level mages is very limited. Those who can practice to the Emerald Level have a sense of pride in their hearts, let alone the Epic Level. Even if the Empire comes, it will be difficult to instruct those mages on vacation. There are only twelve epic mages who are still working and are free, and the others are busy with their own research.

"Do you want to mobilize the army's mages?" the female official asked.

Allen IV frowned. It was not easy to transfer military power casually. "No, just hire someone from outside. Now go to Phoenix Magic University to find Dean Jessica and ask her to appoint some epic professors. The royal family donates money, buildings and land to them every year. Now it's time to let them do some work."

As Allen IV moved around, orders were issued and the empire's institutions began to operate.

Allen IV sat down in front of his study, unable to sleep. Several intelligence officers were waiting beside him to report.

"Where is Jefferson? What is she doing lately?" he asked while reviewing the memorials on the table.

"Your Majesty, the princess is currently dealing with matters related to the Black Cult and should still be in the outer city."

"The terrorists who attacked the imperial train have not been caught yet?" the emperor asked with a frown. This incident was also a major blow to the reputation of the empire and must be dealt with. However, there has been no progress after such a long time.

"According to Her Highness, the heretics basically disguised themselves and entered the imperial capital in small groups, making it very difficult to capture them. However, according to Her Highness, she has already captured one of the Black Fingers, the [Magic Swordsman] Trevor, and some of the heretics who committed crimes with him."

"Hmph, I have gained something." Allen IV's frown gradually relaxed. "Let her come back to the capital tomorrow to watch the ceremony. And by the way, strengthen the capital's security in the next few days. Don't let those ants from the Black Death Cult do anything else during this time."
