Who taught him to restore the country like this

Chapter 193 Mad
As the sun rises in the east, the warm winter sun shines on the faces of everyone who survived the ordeal.

The crisis that had plagued the magic capital for days came to an end with the killing of Gray.

"ended."

"We... survived."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, immersed in the joy of surviving a disaster.

Except for Ron.

Only he knew that the real show was just beginning.

Ron took the Lionheart that had materialized in front of Laura.

Laura didn't say anything about it.

Ron saved the Lionheart Kingdom despite past grievances, and also saved her and her sister. If the Lionheart, which she loathed, could serve as a token of gratitude, she would be overjoyed.

"Thank you."

She bowed deeply to Ron, then jogged toward her sister who was slowly descending from the sky.

"Mr. Ron, thank you for saving us."

"Professor Ron is really amazing."

"As expected of the hero."

"Mr. Ron, may I become your student?"

“Teacher Ron, if you don’t mind, you can come to my country. I can ask my father to give up a piece of territory for the restoration of the Kingdom of Lah.”

“Professor Ron, don’t listen to him, come to me.”

“Mr. Ron…”

"........."

The students gathered around Ron, cheering in adoration.

Although Ron only showed his face at the very end of the war, it is undeniable that he deserves the most credit for their survival.

If Ron hadn't brought them out, they would have died even if the combined forces of the three major papal organizations had invaded.

Without Ron, even if the Allied Forces killed Gray, they would still die because of the grafted causal threads.

After this battle, Ron's legendary status was further enhanced.

Because both of these are problems that no one but Ron can handle.

Moreover, Ron's actions from beginning to end were all about saving everyone, and he truly deserves the title of hero.

Not only students, but also many members of the Allied Forces gathered around Ron.

Princes and princesses from many kingdoms have even extended olive branches.

Such prestige caused the three neglected bishops of the Papacy to frown.

In the past, when incidents involving the three major papal courts were resolved, the first thing all parties did was to flatter the three major papal courts.

Now, these people have abandoned those who organized the coalition and are instead flattering Ron.

This suggests that Ron's prestige has subtly surpassed that of the three major papal houses.

This is absolutely a terrible thing for them.

If Ron didn't have the title of King of the Kingdom of Lah, they would at most feel a little envious.

But Ron's status as the King of the Kingdom of Lah only gave them more headaches.

The biggest obstacle to the war of the divine kingdoms is their high prestige, which makes it difficult for them to make a move.

If the three major papal churches were to attack Ron simply because he hindered the war for the Kingdom of God, it would be fine if they could kill him.

If they can't be killed, the three major papal courts are basically at the end of their rope.

At that time, Ron's call to arms would be overwhelming, and the whole world would unite, enough to overthrow the rule of the three major papal courts.

How to do?
The three bishops of the Papacy looked at each other, each seeing the anxiety in the other's eyes.

After a brief exchange of glances, the three reached a consensus.

"Your Majesty Ron, thank you very much for your heroic act. If it weren't for you, we would probably be in grave danger."

The three approached Ron and first expressed their gratitude.

"You're too kind, three bishops. It's all I should do."

Ron responded humbly to the official's smile.

"Your Majesty Ron is young and promising. What are your plans for the future?"

"The question was asked by the bishop of the Holy See."

There are no other plans at the moment.

Ron laughed.

"In that case, Your Majesty Ron, please accompany us to the Church of Truth."

After exchanging pleasantries, the bishop of the Glorious Vatican revealed his purpose.

Although it is extremely inappropriate for them to launch an attack at this time.

There was no other way; they couldn't let things continue like this and had to curb Ron's rampant growth.

Even if you can't do it, you have to bite the bullet and do it.

"Can you tell me the reason?"

Ron remained calm, as if he had expected this.

"We have discovered that you have recently had close contact with officers of the Demon King's army, and we need your cooperation in the investigation."

The bishop of the Holy See gave his reasons.

"How can this be?"

"How could the Hero possibly collude with the Demon Clan?"

"You're just trying to settle personal scores."

“Yes, you sent people to kill Professor Ron, but instead of killing him, you were killed by him. You hold a grudge and want to settle your personal score.”

“Professor Ron, you absolutely must not go with them.”

Before Ron could respond, the crowd spoke for him.

In their eyes, the accusation that Ron colluded with the demons was a baseless one.

Especially the people of Orantia.

Ron is colluding with the demons, who died in the Eternal Illusion months ago.

This accusation is clearly a case of settling a personal score.

For a moment, the crowd was filled with righteous indignation.

Various factions began to condemn the three major papal courts.

Despite the condemnation from the crowd, the three offered no explanation and made no attempt to intimidate the disrespectful group.

Because deterrence is no longer effective.

In the past, these people would never have dared to do something so disrespectful to the three major papal courts.

But now, after the gods changed the rules twice in an attempt to kill Ron, yet were unable to do anything about it, the prestige of the three major papal courts is no longer as absolute as it once was.

Not only the Vatican, but even the prestige of the gods has fallen from its pedestal.

In truth, they all knew that Ron most likely wouldn't trade with the demons. The few times they observed him doing so were probably when the demons approached Ron, wanting to cooperate.

Judging from the fact that Ron has not yet shown any signs of corruption, he seems to have rejected all invitations to cooperate with the demons.

They knew that Ron was most likely innocent, and that inviting Ron to the Church of Truth was not simply to investigate whether he had colluded with the demons.

Instead, they wanted to use this as a pretext to lure Ron to the Church of Truth, put him under house arrest, and prevent him from carrying out his restoration efforts.

Therefore, they were unable to refute the condemnation of the crowd.

Although it wasn't a matter of settling a personal score, there was indeed a selfish motive.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't assist the demons in doing anything to harm the human race, we will never make things difficult for you."

The bishops of the Holy See made a commitment.

This is not a lie.

They did not specify how long the investigation would take, but said they would naturally return Ron's freedom after the third and fourth wars of the divine kingdoms were over.

"Your Majesty Ron, are you perhaps feeling guilty and unwilling to cooperate with our investigation?"

Seeing that Ron was slow to respond, the bishop of the Glorious Church began to use reverse psychology.

Whether or not anyone believes it, the fact that this question has been raised and Ron has refused to cooperate with the investigation will more or less affect the growth of his prestige.

Ron didn't say anything, he just looked at him with a smile.

"Ron, please give a clear answer whether you're going or not."

Ron wasn't guilty, but the bishop of the Radiant Church was feeling a bit guilty from being stared at.

Ron was a smart man; how could he possibly hide his little tricks from him?

It's over, I've made things worse.

The bishop of the Glorious Vatican realized that the situation was likely to spiral out of control.

If Ron refuses to cooperate with the investigation, there's nothing they can do about him.

After all, Ron is still protected by the rules of the War of the Gods and cannot use force.

Moreover, force may not necessarily solve the problem.

The farce ended with Ron refusing to leave, which was the best possible outcome for the three major papal courts.

The fear is that after his refusal, he might make some targeted remarks against the three major Vatican councils.

They had long heard of the power of Ron's speeches.

They can call black white and white red. If Ron were to do this, after it was published in the morning paper the next day, the three major papal courts could very well become public enemies.

Thinking of this, the bishop of the Glorious Vatican became nervous.

Every second that Ron was silent was agonizing for him.

"all right."

Finally, Ron, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.

To everyone's surprise, they agreed to the investigation invitations from the three major Vatican councils.

"really?"

The bishop of the Glorious Vatican stared wide-eyed, hardly believing his ears.

Ron actually agreed!?

"I don't really care, it's just..."

Ron paused deliberately when his tone shifted.

"Just what?"

The bishop of the Glorious Vatican asked hastily.

"I'm afraid some people won't agree to let me leave the magic capital."

Ron smiled and looked at someone.

The crowd, who were initially puzzled by Ron's acceptance of the invitation, all turned their gazes to one person in the crowd, following Ron's eyes.

She was an elven girl who, even in the dead of winter, wore a thin, plain white dress and whose appearance made it impossible to tell that she had lived for hundreds of years.

The crowd's expressions grew even more puzzled.

Ron's gaze fell upon Mavis, the headmistress of the White Hallows.

Mavis stood there quietly, her demeanor ethereal, gazing at Ron.

"Dean, do you think I should leave?"

Ron asked with a smile.

Mavis didn't speak, but silently conjured a magic wand.

When Mavis took out her weapon, the three bishops of the Papacy frowned.

This is clearly an attempt to go against them.

"Dean Mavis, what brings you here to see Professor Ron?"

"The question was asked by the bishop of the Holy See."

Although they outnumbered Mavis and were not afraid of her at all, it was still better to ask for clarification.

Mavis remained silent, but her body floated up and flew towards the demon god's altar.

"If you don't stop her now, it'll be too late to regret it later."

Ron smiled and offered a reminder.

Upon hearing this, the three papal bishops immediately joined forces to attack Mavis without any hesitation.

"stop!"

Seeing that Mavis showed no sign of stopping, the three of them became even more impolite and unleashed their three trump cards: Radiant Annihilation, Chains of Truth, and Divine Judgment.

Mavis, however, paid no attention to this.

Normally, this would be tantamount to courting death.

Even if Mavis were a centuries-old, veteran eighth-tier archmage, it would be impossible for her to block all three attacks at the same time.

However, when someone acts irrationally, there must be a reason behind it.

Just as the three men's killing blows were about to hit Mavis, a layer of pure white light suddenly shone from the ground.

The three people, who were still moving forward, suddenly felt their bodies lose control and fell to the ground from the sky.

Their three attacks vanished in an instant.

"This is……"

The three were horrified to discover that dense patterns and runes had appeared on the ground.

It's a magic array!
"Sacrifice Array!"

The bishop of the Vatican said in a somber tone.

Meanwhile, between the gaps in the third ring area of ​​the magic city, layers of pillars of light rose from the sky.

The rings and runes quickly appeared and spread out.

From an aerial view, it can be seen that the magic circle's coverage extends throughout the entire magic capital.

"Why can't I move?"

"Me too."

Exclamations arose from the crowd.

Then everyone realized they couldn't move.

It was the magic circle beneath their feet that restricted their movement.

At this moment, Mavis had arrived at the center of the Demon God's altar.

"Mavis, what are you going to do?"

The bishop of the Glorious Vatican shouted a question.

"Can't you see that?"

Ron walked slowly to their side and said calmly, "She wants to resurrect the god of magic."

The Demon God Altar, an altar, an altar—perhaps those who have used it as a secret realm for hundreds of years have long forgotten that it was originally an altar.

Its purpose was for sacrificial purposes.

Sacrifices must involve offerings.

Why has the Magic City continued to operate for centuries without any tradition of offering sacrifices?

Because all the magicians living in the magic capital are the sacrifices prepared by Mavis.

"The god of resurrection magic?"

The three were shocked.

The fact that Ron said something impossible gave it absolute credibility.

Made.

Just when you've dealt with one lunatic, another one appears.

The bishop of the Glorious Vatican couldn't help but curse under his breath.

"Why did she do this?"

The bishops of the Vatican did not understand.

One moment Mavis was fighting alongside them against Gray, and the next she was doing the same thing Gray was doing.

What does this mean.

"You'll have to ask her about that."

Ron said.

"Ron, you noticed it all along, didn't you?"

The Holy See's Path of Bishops.

Ron did not respond.

He looked at the center of the demon god's altar.

Mavis hovered in the center of the demon god's altar, chanting ancient and obscure incantations.

History is always strikingly similar.

As Mavis chanted, countless fine threads extended from the cone at the center of the Demon God Altar, spreading out to every corner of the magic city.

The thread of cause and effect.

It's another thread of cause and effect.

Judging from the sheer number of them, it's clear they're trying to connect everyone in the entire magic capital.

Then it's used for sacrifice!?
"Mavis, stop right now!"

"Do you know what you're doing?!"

The bishops of the three major papal courts rebuked him sternly.

Mavis remained unmoved.

"Ron! You must have a way, right?"

Unable to communicate with the madwoman, the bishop of the Radiant Church suddenly looked at Ron, the only one who could still move, and asked urgently.

They once again placed their hopes for survival on this young man who had repeatedly created miracles.

However, Ron ignored their expected questions, his gaze remaining fixed on Mavis, as if he were observing something.

His calm demeanor suggested he had no intention of stopping Mavis's outrageous behavior.

Mudd!

They're all a bunch of lunatics!
The three of them mentally broke down and cursed.

They could only watch helplessly as Mavis's chant ended, and the threads of cause and effect connected everyone.

At this moment, she slowly turned around.

His ethereal eyes swept over the desperate crowd below, finally settling on Ron.
