Who taught him to restore the country like this

Chapter 123 Situation

……

Inside the solemn and glorious Vatican Cathedral, the morning sun filtered through the stained glass windows, casting a dazzling yet cold beam of light. The air was thick with the scent of incense and old parchment, adding a sense of sacred heaviness.

Bishop Kevin stood under the holy emblem, his eyes as calm as a deep pool, staring at Celia who had come to see him early in the morning.

There was a barely perceptible tension in her straight back.

"Do you want to enter the Sanctuary Trial?" Bishop Kevin's voice echoed in the empty church, peaceful but with the power to penetrate people's hearts.

Celia took a deep breath, raised her head, and nodded vigorously with an unprecedented determination in her eyes: "Yes, Bishop Kevin."

"Why?" Kevin's question was concise and direct. His eyes, which seemed to be able to see into the soul, were fixed firmly on Celia.

Celia's body swayed imperceptibly. She subconsciously lowered her head, her thick eyelashes hiding the struggle and pain surging in her eyes.

She requested to enter the sanctuary, naturally wanting to find the holy relic that Sabnir mentioned and resurrect Ron.

But she couldn't answer that.

If she answered like that, Bishop Kevin would never let her enter the Holy Land.

"I...I want to hone my character, cast aside my confusion, and become a truly qualified priest worthy of the glorious name."

She dug her nails into her palms and forced her voice to sound steady and reverent.

A brief silence stretched through the church, broken only by the subtle crackling of the burning candlelight. Bishop Kevin's gaze lingered for a moment on her bowed head and clenched fists, as if he could see through the thin disguise to reveal a heart riven with holes, gnawed by obsession and pain.

He didn't scold or ask any further questions.

"Go back." Bishop Kevin's voice was still calm, but with an unquestionable, almost compassionate sense of finality.

He slowly turned around and faced the holy emblem hanging high up. His wide bishop's robe drew a heavy arc in the light and shadow.

"Your current state of mind is not suitable for entering the Holy Land."

The sanctuary - it sounds like a sacred, noble and desirable place.

However, its essence is actually the ruins of an ancient battlefield sealed by the power of God, a cage of evil power and endless resentment.

The whispers of corruption and mad ravings permeating the land are enough to easily corrupt the souls of those with unstable minds. Once bewitched and led astray, they will be trapped in the cursed land for eternity, becoming nourishment for the evil god's power.

Ever since Celtia returned from Orrantia, her heart has been like a lone boat in a storm, having long lost its direction.

Confusion and pain filled her heart. Letting her enter the sanctuary at this moment was tantamount to pushing a lost lamb into the bloody mouth of the abyss monster with her own hands.

Bishop Kevin's words were like the final judgment, weighing heavily on Celtia's heart.

However, she did not give up the idea of ​​entering the sanctuary.

"Please give me a chance to test myself."

She stared intently at Bishop Kevin's back.

Bishop Kevin was indifferent and was about to leave when a voice suddenly appeared in his mind: "Let her go."

That was the old Pope's voice.

Upon hearing this, Bishop Kevin bowed his head respectfully and solemnly.

Then, he slowly turned around and looked at Celia, who looked haggard and not as calm as she had been when she was selected to become a saint. He asked, "Have you made up your mind?"

Celia nodded firmly.

"Hey, let's go."

Upon seeing this, Bishop Kevin sighed lightly, waved his sleeve, and the key to entering the sanctuary merged into Celtia's body.

“Thank you, Bishop Kevin.”

Keltia bowed respectfully, then turned and left.

Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

There has been a lot of hot news in the newspapers these two days.

The most popular report is the battle report of the Third War of the Kingdom of God. After the Kingdom of Rah and the Kingdom of Doma, the Kingdom of Leyton became the third victim.

Now in the third battle of the kingdoms of God, only the Kingdom of Diam is still holding on.

Although the Diam Kingdom had shown amazing fighting power in the previous war with the Emerald Kingdom, no one was optimistic about it as it faced pressure from both the Orrantia Kingdom and the Emerald Kingdom.

The third Kingdom of God War may become the fastest Kingdom of God War to end - lasting three months.

It can be said that some people are happy and some are worried.

The end of the third Kingdom of God War means that the fourth Kingdom of God War is not far away.

In addition to the hot news of the war in the Kingdom of God, the most concerned issue is the war slave incident in the Bruviman Empire.

Since the Bruviman Empire was accused by the Orrantia Kingdom of producing war slaves a few days ago, newspapers have reported incidents of war slaves injuring people and fighting in the Silver Moon Territory of the Bruviman Empire.

The recording crystal clearly recorded the battle between the two groups. In the picture, you can see that the leaders of both sides have slave shackles around their necks.

Moreover, there are many conversations about the War Slave Laboratory, all pointing the finger at the Bruviman Empire.

Once this incident was reported, the previous excuses of the Bruviman Empire became pale and powerless.

However, even though the slavery shackles on one of the parties' necks could be confirmed to be from the Bruviman Empire, they still denied it, insisting that someone had deliberately designed it to frame the Bruviman Empire.

In this situation, even if the slaves fighting in the report were caught, they probably would not admit it.

The Bruviman Empire is very powerful, and if it insists on denying it, the outside world will have no way to deal with it.

Unless they can produce evidence of a fatal blow, even the three major churches will find it difficult to convict the Bruviman Empire.

The matter has come to a temporary end as the Church of Truth has intervened in the investigation.

Compared with these two hot news, the little fights in the Thorn Territory are not worth mentioning.

After Leo gained power in White Star City, he immediately launched an attack on Silver City.

Under normal circumstances, he would not be able to capture Silver City.

However, Silver City had been plagued by Ian's troubles in recent times and had long lost the support of the people.

Under the call of the Duke's eldest son, some of the guards in Silver City directly turned against him, and most of the remaining guards did not resist too hard.

By the time Ian arrived with his army, Silver City had already been captured by Leo.

At this time, with the integration of the military forces of Baimu City and Baiyin City, Leo was no longer someone he could easily control.

But how could Ian accept this?
For two days, he launched multiple rounds of attacks on Silver City, risking mutual destruction.

His purpose was very clear. With the combined forces of the four cities, he had the advantage in terms of numbers and supplies.

In a war of attrition, he will definitely be the winner in the end.

however……

In a tent five miles away from Silver City.

Ian sat at the desk, his face as stagnant as a pool of water.

In front of him stood a young man with torn armor and blood all over his body.

This person came from the Viscount Territory adjacent to the Thorn Territory, and he came to the Thorn Territory to seek help.
