Seeing his emotion, Elisa smiled even more happily, "Don't worry, I will do my best to help you."
Chen Rui showed hesitation: "But I..."
"I said before, as long as your special ability can be recognized by the teacher, your identity is definitely not a problem," Elisa sighed, "If you don't even have the courage to do so, then forget it, save me from wasting effort, and in the end Hard work is not appreciated."
"No, you just... said she was sinister?"
Elisa shook her head resolutely, "You heard me wrong, Miranda is my classmate, I'm not talking about her, but another insidious enemy, I almost died in the hands of that enemy."
"So that's the case." Chen Rui hesitated for a moment, and seemed to have finally made 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 glad to use this method to repay your life-saving grace, dear Sir Richard."
Chen Rui's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.
Chen Rui and Elisa wandered around the city for a while and returned to Silver Villa. Paul was quite satisfied with the pamphlet they brought back and praised him greatly.
"Master Paul... I have something to tell you."
Seeing Chen Rui's hesitation, Paul suddenly shuddered: "Li Cha, can we wait until the selection of the temple knights is over?"
Chen Rui was taken aback: "Why? At that time, I was afraid it was too late. This matter is very important to me."
Paul's expression was a little distorted, and he took a few steps back subconsciously: "Before you say this, listen to me a few words. I know that some experiences have had a great impact on your life, and some things are understandable We used to share weal and woe, just like brothers and sisters, but my relationship is limited to this... Well, I am really not suitable for you."
Chen Rui's face became embarrassing again, and he finally understood the reason for Paul's shivering, which was exactly the same as Eliza's misunderstanding! peat! It's all about that damned elf story!
Chen Rui resisted the urge to pinch Paul to death, and told about his "admiration" for Miranda. Paul listened and heaved a sigh of relief. (Chen Rui: Your sister is relieved!)
"Master Paul, look at this matter... what should I do?" Chen Rui lowered his head: "I know it's a little wishful thinking, but when I saw Miss Miranda for the first time, I felt that she was completely different from those human women. It's different, I have an uncontrollable heartbeat. I don't know what to do, whether to do what Miss Elisa said, so I want to ask you what you mean."
"Eliza asked you to pursue Miranda?" Paul frowned, as if he had smelled a conspiracy.
"Yes, Miss Eliza said, as a reward for saving my life last time, she will introduce me to Her Majesty the Holy Maiden."
Paul quickly calculated the gains and losses, and did not remind Chen Rui anything, but nodded: "Since it is Elisa's intention, and you are really attracted to Miranda, then just let it go, I understand your point of view very well." It was love at first sight.”
"Thank you, my lord!" Chen Rui showed joy, "By the way, I want to know something related to the holy mountain so as not to make unnecessary mistakes. I wonder if my lord can tell me?"
"No problem." Paul said without doubting him.
The three main peaks of the holy mountain have three temples respectively, namely the hall of the divine seal of Pope Vandis, the summit of the stars of the patriarch Pusmir, and the hall of the holy family of the saint Eudora.
Generally speaking, these three temples represent the power of the entire Church of Light, collectively referred to as 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 that it is a sacred place connected with the will of the gods. Only the pope and two patriarchs are eligible to enter. There is no doubt that the God of Light will issue decrees or perform miracles through the Temple of Light, and sometimes send his angels down, because the residents of the Holy Light City have witnessed miracles with their own eyes more than once.
The Xuefeng Terrace where the Xuedalai Flower is located is located at the Peak of the God Seal, that is, near the Temple of the God Seal. The Xueda Lai Flower is also called the sacred flower. It is conceived by the purest light belief and has a magical and powerful The power of light is said to be able to assimilate all evil forces. In the entire holy mountain, only Xuefengtai has three trees, which are extremely rare. As one of the symbols of the Holy Mountain of Light, the conferments of the Templar Knights over the years were held under the Shedalay tree.
In fact, Chen Rui had already obtained some relevant information from Elisa before. The reason why he did this to Paul was mainly for the sake of caution. What Paul said was similar to what Elisa said, and it had to be more comprehensive, so you can be sure. , Xue Da Lai Hua is on Xuefeng Terrace to the east of Shenyin Peak.
In addition to the mysterious three supreme angels in the Holy Mountain of Light, it is not known whether there are other powerhouses beyond the level of the Devil Emperor hidden. It may only be once, so there is no room for loss.
Thinking of this, Chen Rui decided to calm down first, get more familiar with the environment and the location of the target, and wait until the selection of the Temple Knights, which attracted most people's attention, began, and then officially launched the action in one fell swoop.
At this time, it was less than two days before the trials of the Knights of the Temple. Paul stayed behind closed doors, calmly adjusting his state, while Chen Rui, as a follower, justifiably inquired about the news, chatted with other followers, and got acquainted with each other. Less intelligence.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the trials for the Templar Knights finally started.
This time, more than 200 people participated in the selection of the Temple Knights, all of whom were elites from all over the human world. The selection of the Temple Knights was divided into three items, martial arts, riding, and team fighting.
Martial arts are one-on-one duels, and the contest is about personal strength.
Riding battles are competitions on mounts. In addition to their own force 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 team battles to determine the winner.
The original selection competition adopted a round-robin system, and the time was relatively long, usually two to three months. Due to the appearance of the Black Death, after the discussion of the three giants of the church, it was decided to adopt a single-elimination system in the preliminaries, which greatly shortened the time of the game and added more uncertain factors.
The martial arts competition is divided into five groups. These five groups are first eliminated by drawing lots. One-on-one battles. The loser will lose the qualification to participate in the next round. The winner will qualify to participate in the next round of competition. the winner.
A total of five winners will be determined in five groups, and then these five people will have 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 competition will be directly disqualified, and the remaining half will participate in the next event, the riding competition. The five people who enter the martial arts final will be able to directly participate in the second round of the riding competition.
A group of people will be eliminated in the riding battle, and then in the team battle, more than 90% of the two hundred people will be eliminated, and only 20 people can become the final victors. The Pope himself canonize them as Knights of the Temple. .
Some people may have strength, but they are unlucky. In the first round, they met the strongest opponent and were eliminated. This phenomenon also exists, but luck is also a kind of strength. Losing is losing, winning is winning. Process, only result. In any case, the twenty people who were able to stay in the end must be the undisputed true elite.
There are four examiners this time, namely the three major cardinals and the paladin commander Passari. Originally, the chief referee Hughes was also one of the examiners, but due to the emergency of the Black Death, Hughes is leading the elite of the referee. Eliminate those heretics everywhere, no time to participate in the selection.
After passing the lottery, the trials began, and the names and the lottery matchups were listed on five huge magic bulletin boards, and Paul was divided into the fifth group.
The first phase of the knockout rounds was held simultaneously in various venues. In each round, a referee would decide the outcome, and there would be staff responsible for recording with magic devices. Those who disagreed could appeal to the chief examiner for a ruling.
The strength of most of the contestants is B-level, and there are only a few A-level players. Chen Rui is naturally interested in this level of battle. Paul's luck is good. After two days of competition, he defeated his opponent, and he was drawn in the next round. The bye lottery means that they can rest for half a day tomorrow morning. As long as they win two more rounds, they can become the first in the group and qualify directly.
In the evening, Eliza came with a message, and the saint Udora summoned her.
In addition to Paul, the person summoned also included Chen Rui, a follower.
Elisa took Chen Rui and Paul out of the Holy Light City and entered the Holy Light Mountain all the way.
The first impression of the holy mountain is the spacious and long stairs, all of which are paved with valuable white stones, and the simple style reveals majesty.
What makes Chen Rui believe in the most is the extremely rich power of faith, which is stronger than that of Shengguang City, but it is obviously not the time to pull out his teeth, so he has no choice but to resist the temptation and move on.
The first time he set foot on the holy mountain, Chen Rui asked some questions curiously from time to time, and Elisa answered patiently, but he didn't know that he was verifying the map he had imagined through intelligence and the actual terrain one by one.
The stone steps in front are divided into three branches, and Elisa smiled and said: "The left side is the road to the Temple of Stars, the middle is the Temple of God Seal, and the road on the right is the Temple of the Holy Family we are going to. Richard, the Holy Family Ladies don't like long-winded people, so I won't be able to answer your question like this in a while."
"Understood, thank you miss, I know how to do it."
Although he knew that Elisa had other plans for Chen Rui, when Paul heard that Elisa took care of and instructed a small follower in such a way, but ignored him, he couldn't help feeling unhappy. Of course, this kind of The unhappiness is just hidden in my heart for now.
As the Temple of the Holy Family approached, Chen Rui felt a stronger feeling in his heart, as if every breath he took was in some kind of special induction—the power of the kingdom!
Chen Rui raised his head subconsciously and saw a quaint hall in the distance. There was a huge statue in front of the hall. The statue was all white and had six pairs of wings on its back. Be a hundred times stronger!
