Sitting on the carriage heading to William Memorial Cathedral, Andrea returned the necklace to Downton because it was too expensive.
"You can sell it and exchange it for gold coins to buy magic stones and potions to increase your strength. If you are reluctant, I can also help you get active and buy a noble title. This amount of money is enough for you to live a life without worries.
He’s a little rich man.”
No matter what Downton and Elaine were saying, Andrea always refused, "If it's a gift of several thousand gold coins, I want it. This is definitely not acceptable."
"Okay!" Downton had a new understanding of Andrea's character. As a noble, she was comparable to Lister and Vieri who would use all means to snatch rare items from him.
The guys are so much better.
She was born with a noble and self-disciplined temperament. Her aristocratic education from childhood made her understand that her words and deeds represent the dignity and honor of the family, and she will not bring discredit to the family.
"This woman must come from a big family that has been passed down for at least a thousand years, otherwise it would be impossible to have such self-cultivation and magnanimity." Homer secretly praised. Although Andrea was very curious, she didn't ask Downton a word about the staff and the magic staff.
Looking at the origin of the mount, it understood that Elaine was lucky to have found a real nobleman as a mentor.
The atmosphere in the carriage was very harmonious. The relationship between Andrea and Elaine was more like sisters than teacher-student. They were not rigid and reserved, but close.
"Eh? Brother, why is your lip broken?" Elaine realized that there was something wrong with Downton's mouth and asked casually.
Andrea's expression froze, and she turned her head away to look at the scenery on the street. She was extremely nervous in her heart, and she secretly said, "If this kid dares to say that I bit him, I will take off his clothes."
Hang it from a street lamp in the square to show the public."
"Eat something and bite it." Downton said perfunctorily, subconsciously glancing at his mentor's big breasts from the corner of his eyes. He couldn't help it, these papaya-sized breasts were too attractive to males.
Elaine nodded and pinched Downton's hand.
"Ah. What's wrong?" Downton was puzzled.
"It's okay, let's see if you have gained weight." Elaine pursed her lips and smiled.
The magnificent Wilhelm Memorial Cathedral is located on the central street of the royal capital together with the Royal Palace. It is one of the landmark buildings in Frankfurt and is also the branch of the Holy See in this country. There is a highly respected red archbishop sitting there.
.
Today is not the weekend, but there are still many believers coming to worship and pray.
After getting off the carriage, Andrea's expression immediately became serious. She held a Bible and stepped up the 260 steps elegantly.
"Be more solemn." After reminding Downton, Elaine followed behind.
When the believers saw Andrea coming, they immediately lowered their heads, stepped aside, and made way for them.
Andrea nodded frequently in return. She was wearing a golden robe that represented the identity of the officiant. She had golden embroidery on the skirt and cuffs, and a World Tree badge on her chest. There was magic pattern embroidery on it, depicting a plane.
The scales represent the concept of fairness and justice of the goddess of justice.
On the marble steps is a 20-meter-high statue of a goddess, and beyond that is the solemn and magnificent church door, with a hundred knights standing on each side.
Their whole bodies were wrapped in white-gold light armor, with knight's swords on their waists and halberds in their hands. With their face armor put down, they looked quite imposing.
If a little girl hadn't bumped into a knight and he leaned over to help her, Downton would have thought the knight guards were sculptures.

When Andrea passed by, the knights all stood at attention and saluted.
In the first chapel, a priest stood on the high platform and was leading prayers. Next to him was a choir composed of ten-year-old boys and girls. They sang morning hymns to the accompaniment of the organ.
A melodious and sacred atmosphere echoed in the chapel.
Watching the warm sunlight shining through the large colored glass windows onto the floor and onto the pious faces of believers, Downton felt that his soul had been cleansed and became peaceful.
Andrea walked slowly along the wall, passed through the arch, and headed to the Third Chapel, where the clergy conducted official business.
The priests, priests, monks, nuns, and Templars who met along the way would all stop and bend down to salute Andrea when she passed by.
"So majestic." Downton was a little envious and clenched his fists involuntarily. This was a symbol of status.
In the chapel, a boy in his forties was reprimanding the fifteen priests standing in front of him with a cold face. When he saw Andrea coming in, he snorted coldly and his voice got louder.
"He is Falfo, one of the three chief priests. If you are targeted by him, no matter what he scolds you, do not refute it."
Elaine lowered her voice and spoke very quickly as a reminder.
The red archbishop is old and has only been in office for one or two years. This means that one of the three chief priests will take that position, so there will be open and covert fighting, and naturally there will be factions.
Generally speaking, Andrea has the weakest power because she is not a local, but it is said that there are high-level officials in the Holy See headquarters who support her.
The chief priest, Falfor, had the highest power and reputation, because he was a distant relative of the King of Drankfurt, and he was very resourceful, but he was too harsh. However, given his status, everyone just complained in private.
The last gold medal officiant is called Doppler. He is only thirty years old this year and has extraordinary attainments in divine arts. Even a genius like Andrea has to admit that facing Doppler, she is only 20%
Odds of winning.
Doppler was too young. Based on his development trend, he might not become a regional cardinal but would directly serve in the headquarters. Therefore, some clergy who were optimistic about his future chose to follow him.
Downton nodded. Looking at the silent group of priests, he could roughly guess Falfo's character. He would not be convinced if he competed with two young men.
"Deacon Magath, please help him complete the procedures for a holy knight." Andrea walked to a desk and gently tapped the tabletop.
"Wait a minute!" Magath, who had a long face, smiled and continued writing at his desk.
"Okay!" Andrea led the two people to sit on the bench. Because this is a public office, everyone can't talk.
This wait lasted thirty minutes.
Downton didn't care at first, but when he saw that Magath still didn't finish his work, he suddenly frowned, thought about it, and leaned into Elaine's ear.
"Is the deacon who is coordinating the ceremony the person officiating at Falfo?"
"How did you know?" Andrea was bored and asked after hearing this.
"When we came in, he was not working. Instead, he immediately picked up a pile of documents and put them in front of him after seeing the instructor. During this period, he quickly glanced at Falfo."
The great Lord Falfo was right in front of him. If Downton had been Magath, he would have found an excuse to seduce Andrea for an hour and make his boss's enemy feel embarrassed. He would definitely gain points in his boss's mind.
"Huh?" Andrea looked at Downton with surprise. She didn't expect this young man's observation skills to be so detailed, but then she didn't say anything, closed her eyes, and leaned on the bench to rest.
.
"Mentor!" Elaine said coquettishly, she wanted to complete the procedures for her brother immediately.
"Shh!" Downton put his finger in front of his lips, making a silencing gesture, and then took out a Potions book from his bag.
Elaine was too impatient. Even if Andrea approached her immediately about something like this, Magath would have plenty of excuses to refuse. If the instructor forced him to go through the formalities, it would definitely lead to a reputation of abusing power and lower her reputation.
.
Downton pointed at the book, signaled to Elaine, opened it and read, and quickly became immersed in it.
"As expected of a postman who has been a postman for three years, his thoughts are much more delicate than those of his age." Andrea noticed Downton's little move and remembered his nickname of the Fox of the West.
The sun shone through the large glass windows and dyed Downton's body.
People around him suddenly discovered that this young man was like a statue of a thinker. Even the way he turned the pages of a book with his hands was full of a strong book atmosphere.
Elaine smiled and then opened the book as well.
An hour later, Magath saw that Andre and the others were not anxious at all, and knew that making things difficult was useless, so he stood up.
"Master officiant, I'm done. Is this young man going to register as a holy knight?" Magath kept smiling. If it hadn't been for his little move just now, no one would have known that he had tricked Downton.
"Yes!" Downton stood up with a respectful attitude, "It's troublesome."
It's not surprising to Liduo. Downton is not arrogant enough to offend Magath, let alone there is Fulfu next to him. He doesn't want to be caught by that guy.
"Okay, please fill out this form." Magath handed a piece of parchment and an ink bottle to Downton.
"Thank you!" Downton, who was accustomed to using the Golden Crown Tree Garden pen, did not use a quill to write in a swipe. He tried his best to write the words beautifully and not give others a chance to look down upon him.
"I have to earn face for my mentor." Downton understood that because of Elaine's relationship, he had been labeled as Andrea's faction.
Not only did Downton become cautious after working in the post office, but he also understood that if he disappoints his boss, his future future will be ruined.
It was a normal form, but when Downton saw the school he attended, he frowned. He couldn't fill in 'none', right?
The Holy See's Holy Knight assessment is very strict and will check candidates' information. If Downton scrawls, once found out, he will be blacklisted and permanently deprived of the qualification to take the exam.
As a clergyman, you cannot lie, but this is a dogma.
Five minutes later, after checking that there was nothing wrong with the filling, Downton returned the form.
Magarte nodded and browsed the information. He had already picked up the seal and was about to stamp it when he stopped again.
"Huh? Where is the school you attend?" Magath asked loudly on purpose. He felt that this was an opportunity that he could take advantage of.
"I never went to school!" Downton hesitated before saying it.
"Sorry, you are not qualified." (To be continued...)
