Seeing his move, Eliza smiled even more happily, "Don't worry, I will do my best to help you."
Chen Rui showed hesitation: "But I..."
"I said, as long as your special ability can be recognized by the teacher, identity is definitely not a problem," Eliza sighed, "If you don't even have the courage, then forget it, it will save me the waste of effort. In the end
Hard work is thankless.”
"No, you just... said she was sinister and vicious?"
Eliza shook her head decisively, "You heard me wrong, Miranda is my classmate. I am not talking about her, but another insidious enemy. I almost died in the hands of that enemy."
"So that's it," Chen Rui hesitated for a moment and seemed to finally make up his mind, "Miss Elisa, can you tell me something about the Holy Mountain? Including...Miss Miranda's situation."
"Of course." Eliza said with a smile: "I am very happy to use this method that has the best of both worlds to repay your life-saving grace, dear Sir Richard.
Chen Rui's eyes lit up and he nodded.
Chen Rui and Elisa walked around the city for a while and returned to Silver Mountain Villa. The booklet they brought back made Paul very satisfied and praised him greatly.
"Lord Paul... I have something to tell you."
Seeing Chen Rui's hesitant look, Paul suddenly shuddered: "Richard, can we wait until the selection of the Temple Knights is over before we discuss this matter?"
Chen Rui was stunned: "Why? I'm afraid it was too late to say it at that time. This matter is very important to me."
Paul's expression was a little distorted, and he subconsciously took a few steps back: "Before you say this, listen to what I have to say. I know that some experiences have had a great impact on your life, and some things are understandable.
.We have shared weal and woe, just like brothers and sisters, but my relationship is limited to this...that, I am really not suitable for you."
Chen Rui's face turned into embarrassment again. He finally understood the reason for Paul's shivers. It was exactly the same as Eliza's misunderstanding! Peat! It's all to blame for that damn elf story!
Chen Rui resisted the urge to squeeze Paul to death and told him about his "admiration" for Miranda. Paul listened and breathed a sigh of relief. (Chen Rui: Your sister is so relieved!)
"Lord Paul, look at this... what should I do?" Chen Rui lowered his head: "I know it's a bit wishful thinking, but when I first saw Miss Miranda, I felt that she was different from those human women.
It's completely different. I have an uncontrollable heartbeat. I don't know what I should do, whether I should do what Miss Eliza said, so I want to ask what you mean."
"Eliza asked you to pursue Miranda?" Paul frowned. He seemed to have smelled a conspiracy.
"Yes, Miss Eliza said that in return for my life-saving grace last time, she would introduce me to Her Majesty the Holy Maiden."
Paul quickly calculated the gains and losses, and did not remind Chen Rui anything. Instead, he nodded: "Since it is Eliza's intention and you are really interested in Miranda, then just let it go. I understand your point very well.
A feeling of love at first sight.”
"Thank you, sir!" Chen Rui beamed, "By the way, I want to know some things related to the Holy Mountain. To avoid unnecessary mistakes, can you tell me?"
"No problem." Paul said as he was sure he was there.
There are three major temples on the three main peaks of the Holy Mountain, namely the Temple of the Divine Seal of Pope Vandis, the Summit of the Stars of Patriarch Pusmir, and the Temple of the Holy Family of Saint Eudora.
Generally speaking, these three temples represent the power of the entire Church of Light and are collectively called the Temple of Light, but they are not the real Temple of Light.
The real Temple of Light is located on the top of the Holy Mountain. It is said to be a sacred place connected with the will of the gods. Only the pope and the two patriarchs are eligible to enter. The God of Light will send decrees or display miracles through the Temple of Light, and sometimes
There is no doubt that an angel was sent to come, because the residents of Holy Light City have witnessed miracles with their own eyes more than once.
The Snow Peak Platform where the Snowdale Flower is located is located on the Peak of the Divine Seal, which is near the Temple of the Divine Seal. The Snowdale Flower is also known as the Sacred Flower. It is bred by the purest faith in light and has magical and powerful properties.
The power of light is said to be able to assimilate all evil forces. There are only three trees in Xuefengtai in the entire holy mountain, which are extremely rare. As one of the symbols of the holy mountain of light, the temple knights over the years have been awarded the title in the snowdale tree.
held below.
In fact, Chen Rui had already received some relevant information from Eliza before. The reason why he attacked Paul was mainly to be cautious. What Paul said was similar to what Eliza said, and it was more comprehensive, so it can be determined.
, the Snow Dale Flower is located on the Snow Peak Terrace east of the Divine Seal Peak.
In addition to the mysterious three supreme angels, it is not known whether there are other powerful people who transcend the level of the Demon Emperor hidden in the Holy Mountain of Light. It is difficult to deal with the existing powerful Demon Emperors alone, and the chance of stealing the Snowdale Flower is very high.
It might only happen once, so there’s no room for error.
Thinking of this, Chen Rui decided to calm down first, become more familiar with the environment and the location of the target, and wait until the selection of the temple knights that attracted most people's attention began, and then officially launch the operation and succeed in one fell swoop.
At this time, it was less than two days before the Templar Knights Trials. Paul had been staying at home and adjusting his state. Chen Rui, as a follower, was legitimately inquiring about the news, talking to other followers and getting to know each other, but he also got a lot of information.
Little information.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the trials for the Temple Knights finally began.
This time, there were more than two hundred people participating in the Temple Knights trials, all elites from all over the human world. They were divided into three categories: martial arts, riding combat, and team combat.
Martial arts is a one-on-one challenge, and the contest is about personal strength.
Riding combat is a competition on mounts. In addition to one's own strength and combat skills, the requirements for riding skills are quite high.
The team battle is a test of commanding ability. Participants will command an equal number of light knights to conduct a team battle to determine the winner.
The martial arts competition is divided into five groups. These five groups first conduct a single elimination round by drawing lots. The single elimination is a one-on-one battle. The loser is eliminated and loses the qualification to participate in the next round. The winner advances to participate in the next round of competition. One level at a time.
Go up the levels until the final winner is determined.
A total of five winners will be determined from the five groups, and then these five people will compete in a round-robin match, that is, each opponent will fight once, and the one with the most wins will be the final winner.
The first batch of people eliminated in the martial arts battle will be directly disqualified, and the remaining half will participate in the next event of riding battle. The five people who enter the martial arts finals will directly participate in the second round of the riding battle.
A group of people will be eliminated again in the riding battle, and then in the team battle, more than 90% of the two hundred people will be eliminated. Only 20 people can become the final winners. They will be canonized as temple knights by the Pope himself. The cruel competition is evident.
.
Some people may have strength, but are unlucky. They meet the strongest opponent and are eliminated in the first round. This phenomenon also exists, but luck is also a kind of strength. Losing is losing, winning is winning. There is no such thing.
Process, only result. No matter what, the twenty people who can stay in the end are definitely the undisputed true elites.
There are four examiners this time, namely the three cardinals and the Paladin Commander Passari. Originally, Chief Judge Hughes was also one of the examiners, but due to the emergency of the Black Death, Hughes was leading the elite of the Inquisition.
Purging those heretics everywhere, there is no time to participate in the selection.
After passing the lottery, the selection competition began. Each name and the results of the lottery were listed on five huge magic bulletin boards. Paul was placed in the fifth group.
The first phase of the knockout rounds is held simultaneously in various venues. There are referees to decide the outcome of each match, as well as staff responsible for recording with magic devices. Anyone with objections can appeal to the examiner's decision.
Most of the contestants were B-level, with only a few A-level players. Chen Rui was naturally interested in fighting at this level. Paul was lucky. He defeated his opponents in the two days of competition, and drew another one in the next round.
The draw with a bye means that you can have an extra half-day of rest tomorrow morning. As long as you win two more rounds, you can become the first in the group and qualify directly.
In the evening, Eliza came and brought news that Saint Eudora had summoned her.
In addition to Paul, the people summoned also had Chen Rui, a follower.
Elisa took Chen Rui and Paul out of Holy Light City and entered the Holy Mountain of Light.
The first impression of the Holy Mountain is the spacious and long stairs, all paved with valuable white crystal stones. The simple style exudes majesty.
What Chen Rui believes in most is the extremely rich power of faith, which is even richer than Holy Light City. However, now is obviously not the time to pull out teeth, so he has no choice but to resist the temptation and move forward.
It was the first time he set foot on the Holy Mountain. Chen Rui was curious and asked some questions from time to time. Elisa answered patiently. Little did he know that he was verifying the map he had imagined through intelligence with the actual terrain one by one.
The stone steps in front were divided into three branches. Elisa smiled and said: "On the left is the road to the Palace of Stars, in the middle is the Palace of Divine Seals, and on the right is the Palace of the Holy Families where we are going. Richard, Saint
Madam, I don’t like long-winded people, so I won’t be able to answer your questions like this for a while.”
"I understand, thank you miss, I know how to do it."
Although he knew that Elisa had other intentions for Chen Rui, Paul couldn't help but feel a sense of displeasure in his heart when he heard that Elisa was taking care of and instructing a small follower in this way, but neglecting him. Of course, this kind of
The unhappiness is just hidden in my heart for now.
As the Palace of the Holy Families approached, Chen Rui's feeling became stronger and stronger, as if every breath he took was accompanied by some special feeling - the power of the kingdom!
Chen Rui subconsciously raised his head and saw a quaint hall in the distance. There was a huge statue in front of the hall. The statue was all white with six pairs of wings on its back. The entire hall exuded a strong power of faith, which was even stronger than the one along the way up the mountain.
A hundred times stronger! (To be continued...)
