The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

"Come to think of it, I don't know any of you here yet. Would you be willing to introduce them to me?"

"Of course." Jiang Liujing nodded. This was his responsibility.

He simply told Cyrus the names of several people and their status in the school. He noticed that Cyrus suddenly laughed strangely when he heard Chi's part, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Chi.

That look was far from friendly.

Jiang Liujing's impression of Cyrus suddenly worsened. He frowned slightly and stood in front of Chi.

This man's strength was unfathomable, and he was worried that he would attack Chi.

But Cyrus ultimately did nothing.

As if to dispel Jiang Liujing's vigilance, he greeted everyone present one by one in a very friendly manner.

Among the people Jiang Liujing brought with him, there were also a few who believed in the religion. They were extremely excited at the moment, and Jiang Liujing could even hear their screams behind them.

They were surprised to see the Pope, and he even spoke to them! This was an opportunity that no amount of gold could buy for the nobles.

The teachers were also very excited and came forward to guide the church members into the campus.

Jiang Liujing remembered his mission and mentioned what he wanted to do to Cyrus on the way, concealing his real purpose.

As expected, this was opposed by people from other churches.

The cardinal was the first to speak, his emotions extremely intense, his words harsh. "No, how can you steal the name of God? Just to make your performance more authentic?"

"This is extremely disrespectful, extremely disrespectful to the gods." He stared at Jiang Liujing, as if he wanted to pierce two holes in him.

Jiang Liujing looked at his expression and for a moment he was reminded of a kind of wild bull mythical beast he had seen in the Canglong Mountains. When it saw the enemy, it would breathe heavily and angrily, wheezing like a broken bellows.

But the bishop is much more dangerous than the bull.

Jiang Liujing has heard many stories over the years about people who disobeyed the divine religion and were treated as heretics.

Not only the bishop, but also the others who remained silent were filled with disapproval. Especially the masked man. Although he was still sealed and unable to speak, Jiang Liujing could read strong dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Jiang Liujing glanced at him. This man was the one the Pope had just called Xavier.

He has the same name as Xavier from Wakoin, but he wears a mask. Jiang Liujing and Xavier have met very few times, so it is impossible to tell whether they are the same person.

The atmosphere was tense for a moment, and even the people Jiang Liujing brought with him looked very surprised. Before this, Jiang Liujing had not told them about this matter.

Until the Pope spoke and broke the silence.

Cyrus narrowed his eyes, his blue pupils flashing a faint light in his eye sockets, and suddenly said: "I don't think there is any problem."

"In the past, we were too rigid in our rituals, adhering to fixed procedures and forms. I think it's good to add some innovative activities occasionally. Moreover, it really attracts the audience."

As soon as he said this, the expressions of the people in the church froze instantly.

The angry expression froze on his face before it even dissipated, and it even looked a little funny.

Their collective dissatisfaction was vetoed by their own leaders. What else could they say?

Did they dare to question Cyrus?

Rather than anger, they felt more puzzled at this moment.

Cardinal Yugna kept thinking in his mind, suspecting that the Pope was confused by the young man opposite him.

When he saw Jiang Liujing for the first time, he knew that this was the kind of person who would be praised to the sky if he entered the church.

This boy, his black hair is so pure and so beautiful, like the sparkling night, even the finest ink pen cannot reproduce such a perfect color.

And their Pope, Cyrus, is an absolute fan of black hair.

He loved collecting pure men and women with black hair. Yugna knew that Cyrus had a private courtyard dedicated to storing his black-haired "dolls".

But he did not desecrate them, but simply admired them quietly - just like a king admiring his own private garden.

He was no longer satisfied with just watching, and even chose to abandon his own hair color, trying every possible way to dye himself with the modified holy water.

And now, a "high-end product" that is more perfect than all the dolls in the past suddenly appeared in front of him.

Yugna thought to himself, if this young man didn't have the reputation of being the most talented magician on the continent and had several forces behind him, it would be difficult to take action against him. Cyrus would probably have captured him as soon as they met.

He was now suspicious that Cyrus was trying to please Jiang Liujing because he couldn't arrest him directly. After all, people are always more tolerant when it comes to things they love.

Yugna's mind was racing when suddenly Cyrus's elegant voice rang in his ears again, still speaking to Jiang Liujing:

"But I'm not without demands."

Cyrus's blue eyes, like glass beads, folded and absorbed Jiang Liujing's entire figure, young, fragile, like a small rose.

He was blooming, but too early, and the thorns on his body were not strong enough to pierce the hands of anyone who tried to pick him.

Cyrus looked at him and said, "I hope that the person chosen to play the role of the God of Law is you."

Jiang Liujing opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Cyrus explained the reason first.

"The image of the God of Law, passed down since ancient times, is black hair and black eyes. You probably can't find another person as suitable as you in your school, right?"

"The Divine Cult has already made a lot of concessions. At least we hope you can satisfy us with the selection of candidates."

"But I am the person in charge of the event, and I also have to manage other activities." Jiang Liujing said.

"If your subordinates are not incompetent, then you don't need to worry about these matters." Cyrus said, "If you are short of manpower, the Divine Cult can also help."

Jiang Liujing sensed an inexplicable urgency from him, as if this person really wanted to see him perform. He looked at Cyrus in confusion.

Cyrus noticed his gaze, but did not avoid it and continued to smile.

He knew the outcome of the conversation.

Sure enough, Jiang Liujing just glanced at him and agreed: "Okay."

He originally wanted to find someone to play the role. In the past, there would be similar situational drama performances at the Dharma God Festival, and the actors already had rich experience in how to perform the superior posture of the gods.

But Cyrus insisted on specifying his words.

At worst, he could just wear a mask so others wouldn't recognize him. Jiang Liujing thought to himself, "It's not a big deal after all."

Afterwards, several people confirmed some other activities in the ceremony, including the most critical "coming of age blessing" ceremony involving the gods.

Cyrus suddenly asked, "You are not far from adulthood, right?"

Jiang Liujing nodded. All this information was accessible to the outside world, so there was nothing to hide. He casually said, "Just a week before the Law God Festival."

"Will there be a birthday party? Considering your status in school, there should be, right?"

Jiang Liujing shook his head: "I don't often celebrate my birthday."

Except for the first year, he told his classmates in the following years that there was no need to celebrate for him in a big way, and on his birthday he would just invite familiar friends to have a meal together in the dormitory.

Although this year's birthday is special, symbolizing adulthood and a new stage in his life, Jiang Liujing has no plans to change his habits.

When mentioning birthdays, he suddenly looked at Chi.

After returning from the Canglong Mountains, Chi told him that he would be away from school for a few days and would be back before his birthday.

Jiang Liujing didn't know why he was so mysterious.

After waking up one night in the elves' tribe, he found that something was wrong with Chi. It seemed that he was hiding something from him and even sneaked out in the middle of the night.

Jiang Liujing noticed it, but just didn't say it out loud.
