Fulilian: Becomes a disciple of Celia at the beginning

Countless magicians came one after another to specifically challenge one or two stone statues of their choice.

Because of the repeated explorations by their predecessors, the candidates have basically figured out the differences between the various stone statues.

Some stone statues have sophisticated fighting skills, and their attack methods are sometimes fast and sometimes slow, making them unpredictable.

However, some stone statues are only flexible and good at dodging the candidates' offensive magic, but they are slightly weaker in combat skills and do not have such high laning strength.

There is also a most burly stone statue, whose attack force is the most powerful, but its movements are relatively slow. It can even insert several high-powered attack magics that need to be chanted and prepared in the intervals between [ordinary attack magics].

In addition, the examination rules did not limit the number of times the magicians could challenge, so there were many magicians waiting to be challenged under each stone statue.

Of course, the queue sizes behind stone statues of different characteristics are completely different.

The longest team belongs to the burly stone statue, which is also the one with the most successful challenges in the half-day assessment so far.

As long as we can contain it and the attack magic we unleash is powerful enough, there is hope of defeating it.

Next were the nimble stone statues. There were about six or seven magicians lined up there, most of them skilled in restrictive magic. Their bet was that they could restrain the challenging statue before being sent flying by it.

The two stone statues that had the least number of people queuing, or didn't even need to queue, were experts in close combat, and their fast and slow punches were accurate and fierce.

So far, no candidate has been able to pass its test.

until

A middle-aged man came to the Challenge Square.

Haita waved the holy book in his hand, and a shield of brilliant light enveloped him. Even if the melee stone statue swung its fists until they broke, it could not shake it in the slightest.

Haita only turned a few pages of the [Holy Scripture], and as a few lines of prayers in the [Chapter of Paradise of Heaven and Earth] shone, Celia attached to the stone statues, and the magic used to control them was forcibly dispelled.

The nearly two-meter-high challenging stone statue was scattered all over the ground.

"Tsk-"

"interesting."

Inside the hall, Celie, who sensed the scene outside the hall through magic, grinned.

Then he clasped his hands together, and a stream of condensed magic power flowed out from his palms and fell onto the scattered stones on the field.

The originally scattered stones were re-solidified, and even more stones were added to them.

However, these stones, which were much larger than the original ones, did not gather into a taller stone statue. Instead, they became several times smaller than before, and were only about 1.67 meters high.

As Celie in the hall closed her eyes, the stone statue that had just formed on the field began to move slowly.

Looking at the familiar pace of the new stone statue, Gut raised his eyebrows and instantly knew who was personally controlling the statue.

He quickly stepped forward to interrupt the challenges of the other candidates and led them out of the barrier. Then, he stood on the stage and cast a concerned look at Haita who came to "challenge and disrupt the event".

I hope your [Goddess] can really protect you.

On the field.

Although Haita was not aware that the stone statue in front of him was controlled by the great magician Celia herself, the sense of crisis that came over him still made the bishop of the holy city immediately prepare for defense.

Press your fingers on the corresponding chapter of the [Holy Scripture] and immediately launch an all-round defense if something goes wrong.

"boom!!!"

Without being polite to Haita, the stone statue controlled by Celie herself threw a quick punch.

With just this one blow, the previously indestructible brilliant barrier surrounding the sea tower instantly lost its luster, and the impact site of the stone fist was covered with spider-web-like cracks.

"Gu-du-"

Haita swallowed his saliva and immediately increased his magic output, making the dimmed [Holy Light Guardian Magic] bright again, quickly repairing the cracks caused by the stone statue's punch.

However, in the face of Haita's rescue, the stone statue controlled by Celia remained motionless.

In other words, he was still maintaining his previous movements, smashing his stone fist against the protective barrier of the sea tower, constantly exerting force.

But if a fist that has been thrown is not retracted, how much force can it exert?

Seeing this, Haita ignored the punch and, while maintaining the output of magic power to the protective barrier, quietly turned the [Holy Scripture] to the [Chapter of Paradise of Heaven and Earth], trying to release Celia's control over the stone statue again in the same way as before.

However, as the short chant was about to end, Haita accidentally noticed that the manipulated stone statue seemed to have a triumphant smile on its face.

Realizing that something was wrong, Haita immediately stopped the magic he was preparing halfway, wanting to strengthen the resilience of the protective barrier again.

But, it's too late.

The stone fist against the shield suddenly flashed with magical light, and then its weight increased hundreds and thousands of times.

Haita's [Holy Light Guardian Magic] was like paper and was instantly shattered by this stone fist.

Fortunately, Haita's awakening at the last moment played a slight role.

Under the effect of the instantaneous [Defensive Magic], six or seven layers of magic crystals used for protection were stacked together, giving Haita the opportunity to take two steps back and create a small distance between himself and the stone statue.

"Luckily I didn't drink last night. This level of pressure is no less than the battle with the Demon King."

Haita, who was holding the [Holy Scripture], was sweating profusely at this moment. He immediately summoned a holy light barrier to protect himself, and at the same time, he continued to reinforce it with lingering fear.

“Dang-dang-dang-”

The stone statue controlled by Celia tapped the barrier a few times with its fingers. From the deep echo, it was clear that its defensive capabilities were absolutely top-notch.

"In that case, why not try the latest research results?"

The petite stone statue pondered for a moment, then its figure blurred and flashed behind the barrier.

Haita was shocked and immediately increased the magic output on this side to improve the defense capability.

However, as Celie, who was sitting in the hall, uttered a string of unknown characters, the magic power attached to the petite stone statue flickered and changed slightly.

"penetrating"

A light palm was pushed out, as if passing through ordinary air, and the extremely thick holy light barrier around Haita was unable to play any role.

The stone palm slapped Haita, knocking him away. He landed on the platform and was caught by his disciple Gut.

"Sure enough, my idea is feasible."

Celie in the hall smiled with satisfaction, opened her eyes, and dissipated the excess magic power on the petite stone statue, restoring it to its normal strength.

Haita, who fell into Gut's arms, had a confused look in his eyes, unable to understand what had happened before.

"Why? My magic didn't provide any protection at all."

"The undefendable characteristic is [Curse]?"

"That's not right. The Great Mage Celia is unlikely to be a [Demon]. And my [Goddess Magic], even if it is really a [Curse], should be able to provide some protection."

“Then why is it still like this?”

For a moment, Haita couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only regard it as a special magic mastered by Lady Celia, and he felt even more awe for this legendary magician.

With Gut's support, Haita stood firm. After several shots of highly effective [Healing Magic], his chest, which had been a little heavy, gradually recovered.

"Mr. Gutt, your teacher's attack was quite fierce."

As Haita spoke, he looked at the group of monks who had followed him to the stage, as well as the many magician candidates who were being treated by the monks.

This is why they came from the Holy Temple.

Originally, today should have been a peaceful working day. As the Bishop of the Holy City, Haita would have some free time after leading the monks to complete their daily morning classes.

Look through the ancient books in the temple, take a look at the situations presented by various churches in recent days, and practice magic and [Goddess Magic] under the guidance of the younger generations.

You can even take advantage of your free time to run to the corner and secretly drink a few sips.

but.

Following the lively shouts coming from the [Continental Magic Association] next door, the entire [Holy Hall] could no longer rest.

First, the magicians sent two wounded people, and after the monks cured them, several more were sent over.

This cycle repeated itself, and more and more wounded were sent here. Their injuries were surprisingly similar. They were all caused by blunt objects and had blood clots in their bodies.

Such a special situation naturally alarmed Haita. After learning the details from the recovered wounded, Haita simply brought several experienced old monks and a group of newcomers with relatively unfamiliar skills and walked directly to the door of the [Continental Magic Association].

This would save the candidates the trouble of being sent to the [Holy Temple]. Not only would the wounded receive treatment faster, but the [Holy Temple] would also be safer.

As for Haita himself, he felt a little itchy after curing several candidates.

In addition, monks are a variant of magicians, so they also went to the square to try it out.

"Well, Mr. Hatter."

"Have you considered becoming a disciple of Master Celiai like me?"

"According to the assessment rules, if you can defeat the initial stone statue or withstand its attacks for five minutes, you will be able to enter and participate in the interview with Teacher Celia."

"You succeeded in the first stage of the challenge. Would you like to consider increasing your seniority and becoming Miss Fulilian's uncle?"

"This"

Haita smiled. "Seems like an interesting choice."

"If we meet again, Fulilian will probably be shocked."

Chapter 106: Revealed Haita!

Ultimately, Haita refused.

Making arbitrary choices for a fun idea is a privilege that only young people have.

Haita, who has now become the [Bishop of the Holy City], has not felt that his own character has changed over time, but he has unknowingly become a reliable adult in the eyes of his juniors.

If you are an adult, you can no longer be willful.

Those who trusted and relied on him were still waiting for him, their senior, to preside over tomorrow's prayers.

"Is this so"

Gutt nodded, not surprised by Haita's refusal.

As the nominal supreme administrator of the Holy City, it would be a surprise if he really agreed.

After a few more pleasantries, Haita took the initiative to say goodbye in order not to affect the normal assessment of the association.

Although it was not difficult to see from the monk's expression that he had a lot to say, now was not the right time to talk, so he had to find another time.

So when they parted, Haita took the initiative to invite Gut.
