The target Vest is the ultimate boss

Back at the academy, Sid and Kanas find their apartment buried in snow.

The imperial capital was hit by a rare snowstorm in a century, and the nearby racecourse and colosseum were closed due to the weather. The nobles of the imperial capital lost several good places for entertainment, so they could only play cards and chat with their colleagues at home.

Sid leaned over the rail and watched as Canas cleared away the snow.There are flower seedlings in the backyard, and thermal blankets have been laid in advance before winter, so they survived.

Seeing bored, Sid straightened his robe, knelt down and drew on the snow with his fingers.After Kanias cleared the door, the two heard the voice of the communication crystal.

Sid took out the crystal, but didn't see any new message, so he looked back at Canias.

Kanias finished browsing Amethyst's written records, and when he looked up, he met Lord Shengzi's shining eyes.

Kanas' eyebrows and eyes looked a little cold.

"The Pope's men sent you a message?" Sid asked. He thought for a while, and then said, "I'll go with you."

Canias glanced at him, put away the crystal, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved: "His Majesty asked me to go to the Holy Court alone, and don't tell you the content of the conversation."

"..."

Lord Shengzi snorted and snatched the flame broom in his hand.

The apartments in the college are all wooden structures, which can easily cause fires. The next day after the heavy snow stopped, the Academic Affairs Office issued magic brooms to inform the students that they should not use fire spells to clean the snow, otherwise they will receive a message from the Imperial Capital Magic Tower. ticket.

Credit penalties during schooling will be recorded directly on the file and linked to the credit rating given by the council.When the Ministry of Magic and research institutes at all levels recruit students from the Imperial Capital's Academy of Magic, they will focus on the credit rating of the students.

Canias wants to get the broom back, but Sid holds the broom and refuses to let go, and refuses to look at him.

Canias said helplessly: "If you are tired, go back to your room and rest, and we will talk about it when I come back."

After hearing the words, Sid knew that Kanas was laughing at his weakness, so he chased to the gate of the courtyard, stepped on the youth's shadow, and then ran back to the fence.

The wooden nightjar resting on the boy's shoulder flapped its wings and flew into the air, and pecked Canias' head with its sharp beak.The young man turned his head and saw a portrait on the snow behind Sid, which seemed to be a portrait painted for him by His Highness the Son.

There is also a tentacles growing on the head.

Smiling to himself, he put on his hood and walked out the door.

Sid waited for him to go far, turned the wooden bird back into a wheelchair, and went to the greenhouse to get back the rabbit that was left on Vera's side.

He returned to the apartment after being scolded by Vera, and saw Albert standing at the door coldly, still facing the plane tree.

His posture was astonishingly the same as it had been during Xuechu's visit, but the plane tree had gone bald.

Sid had expected Albert to visit the apartment.

The Duke has not assigned him a task for a long time.

He was even grateful that it was Albert who appeared here.Kaleena would never stand quietly outside the door.She would break into the living room and make a mess of the living room decorated by Canias, and then childishly say "stink mite", "yellow loach", "rotten fly" and other bugs that she can imagine, Make fun of him.

But—maybe he was raised wild by Canias outside, Sid is no longer as fearful of the Duke's family as he was at the beginning of school.He looked at Albert's tense face and his extravagant gold-rimmed lenses, and remembered the scene he saw at the star party.

It is said that Albert knew that his fiancée had already been with the second prince, and would help them cover up.

There was even a flash of sympathy in Sid's heart.

Lord Son of God also imitated Albert with a sullen face.He hid that emotion very well.

Albert never looked at him directly, and he didn't notice the subtle changes in his brother's heart.

"Father has not been able to find time for the past few days, so he asked me to bring you the task."

The Dark Guild was too busy to touch the ground.In the past few months, the father's breath has become more and more frequent, but his faithful believers have traveled almost every inch of the mainland, but they have never found a hair of that god.

Then came the investigative team with an extremely keen sixth sense in the imperial capital.

The Chelt family is used to hiding and acting in the shadows, but they are still being targeted by the Magic Tower.Recently, the duke returned to the mansion from Zenia, the capital of black magic, and found the eye from the magic tower in the garden.

There are also investigators disguised as priests in the Holy House.However, Sid has been under the strict control of the pope and bishop in recent years, and the detectives are doomed to return without success.

Albert took out a card and handed it to Sid: "Give this to your paladin."

Sid: "..."

Adhering to his usual ellipsis tactics, he reached out and took the card.

Sid saw a silver ice and snow epiphyllum printed on the card, which is the special logo of the Imperial College Student Union. Turn it over, and there are two lines of gilt bronze characters printed on the back:

Appointment Letter of Examiner

Dear Cañas Alder

Underneath is the beautiful font of the civilian students of the Student Union, inviting the paladin to be the only student examiner for the next freshman entrance examination in an official tone.

Sid silently took a breath of cool air and let it out slowly.

Albert's face tightened even more.

Sid knew he was expressing distress.

very pitiful.

Because Albert's handwriting is really too big.He was determined to take Canias under his feathers.

Canias made it clear to him that he had been invited by Sid.But as the months passed, Sid didn't reply to his messages.Albert thought that Canias' silence expressed his hope to see his sincerity, so he prepared to do it himself.

He has sent Canias an invitation letter from the Student Council and nominated him as the only student examiner at the end-of-year student council.

Sid received the power of attorney: "What do you want me to do?"

"You have to find a way to attend the freshman exam with Cañas Olde," Albert handed him another list, "keep the ones circled by the red pen, and let him do whatever else he likes." .”

Sid unfolded the list, with five or six names highlighted in red ink.This is the connection the Duke left for his eldest son.

He scanned it and remembered the names of several people. Albert's fireball technique burned the list.

Due to the suspicion of the Magic Tower, Chelt dared not make too obvious actions. The freshmen who were placed in the Imperial Capital College had already met the entrance level, but a wise man was always cautious, and there was bound to be a mistake. The freshmen who were on the edge of the pass line were most likely to be eliminated. .

The chief examiner has the right to veto and approve the admission of the new students.

Therefore, the chief examiner is a fatter job than the student president. Since Albert was re-elected as the president, he has moved this position under his own buttocks every year. His name.

Sid watched Albert away, picked up the flame broom, and began to think hard.

His roommate must have known he didn't like crowded places.

How to convince Kanas?

The Void Room is located in the center of the holy courtyard of the imperial capital. There are 24 ionic columns, and the dome casts a waterfall of sunlight, which is so dazzling that it is almost impossible to look directly at it.

In the dizzying sunlight stood a tall figure.The priesthood hat on his head was as high as a tombstone, but it didn't weigh down his shoulders.He closed his eyes, listening to the ethereal and divine singing from the choir upstairs.

Pope Clark was eighty years old, the same age as the Fairy Godmother.However, even in his old age, the great sage who is proficient in magic is still as smart as a young man, his hair is still as soft as a girl, and his eyes are still as bright as torches. Didn't leave much of a mark on him.

Howard's figure came to the door.He bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, people are here."

Clark walked out of the aperture with his hands behind his back.His body was as thin as a flagpole, and even his shadow was as straight as a feathered arrow.

"Bring him in."

Howard backed out.After a long time, a young man stepped into the void.

Canias, dressed in the silver armor of a paladin, knelt in front of Clark on one knee.

Clark lowered his head and looked at the young man.

"I must apologize to you," he said, "for keeping the truth from you on this mission."

Canias: "Your Majesty does not need to blame yourself, this is a reasonable balance."

Clark narrowed his eyes: "Did Sid Chelt doubt you?"

Kanas lowered his eyes and nodded: "Yes. He hasn't been abnormal recently."

Of course nothing unusual.

Clark snorted coldly in his heart.

Sidchelt was controlled by their holy court like an ignorant child, who didn't even know the most basic social etiquette of noble children. The priests repeatedly hinted to the imperial capital that the image of the Son of Light was unreasonable, and would never There are outsiders who can influence him mentally.

How could there be an exception.

Even if there is, it can only be an "abnormality" brought by the Chelt family or Cañas himself.

So Pope Clark secretly passed on Canias after he heard that he had killed the monster giant, and promised him a benefit by making him a watcher next to the Holy Son.Clark uses Cañas, but also fears him.

Clark knew that only benefits and threats could tie talented people. The gift list he offered to Canias was not only the position of Paladin Commander, but also his heirs.

In history, it is rare, but not uncommon, for a platinum seated knight commander to be directly promoted to the pope.

This is a power that cannot be exchanged for no matter how many Dukes of Chelt stacked up.Clark believed there was no better place in the world.

A skylark perched on Clark's shoulder.

He turned his head, and the skylark jumped to his ear, spit out a string of sound transmission magic from its beak, and then flew up, rushing towards the huge dome.

The sun pouring down from the sky suddenly burst into flames, melting the figure of the skylark in the scorching light in an instant.

An unburnt feather lingered back to his shoulder.Clark gently brushed off the foreign object on his shoulder, with a hint of pity on his old face.

"You must understand that you signed a soul contract in front of the statue of the great father. If you deceive the Holy Court, you will be scattered."

The young man put his body into the shadows: "Go through fire and water for His Majesty."

Disgust appeared on the pope's face.

Cañas made him feel bad.This paladin is more like a scheming broker than the eldest son of Chelte, and sometimes the pope even thinks he is like a black hole, like an abyss of silence, and he is more unfathomable than the master of the Magic Tower or the headmaster of the Imperial College.

Clark hated what he couldn't control.

But no matter how shrewd a wolf is, if he puts on a collar, he can only become his watchdog, picking up the bones he gave him.

"Let's go, keep looking at him." He closed his eyes and waved his hand wearily, "The position of Paladin Commander is yours until next year's selection season, Your Excellency."
