After hearing what Dean Mellen said, His Majesty the Emperor and His Holiness the Pope were both silent.

Although Myron did not say it explicitly, the hidden meaning was already very obvious.

The academy will not get involved in the struggle between royal power and divine power, and these two forces should not try to use the academy to achieve their goal of defeating each other.

Of course, there is a deeper meaning in this sentence, which is that Dunbarton College will not allow any infiltration from the two major forces of royal power and divine power.

Looking at Dean Mellen, who was smiling and seemed as gentle as the spring breeze, His Majesty the Emperor and His Holiness the Pope knew that all their efforts this time would be in vain.

No matter how talented Victoria is, how could she possibly attract these two people to come and watch the ceremony? To be precise, Victoria was just an opportunity.

In fact, the main purpose of their coming here this time is to win over the academy.

Now the struggle between royal power and divine power has reached a very intense state, so intense that it even allows the human race to temporarily ignore everything happening outside the domain.

Under such circumstances, only by ending this struggle as soon as possible can the human race be saved from the fate of division.

At this moment, whichever side can win over the academy to stand on their side will win the final victory.

But Dean Mellen was a very capable person. How could he not see through their thoughts? So he made a final statement right from the start, leaving no room for maneuver.

Originally, after all the assessments were completed, the two of them were going to have a long talk with Dean Mellen, but now it seems that this long talk is no longer necessary.

If there was no Myron in this college, they could use some tough measures, but as long as Myron was alive, the entire Dunbarton College could maintain its absolute neutrality, and no force could interfere.

Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor and His Holiness the Pope both shook their heads helplessly.

"Speaking of which, how long has it been since you two took a good look at the scenery of the college and Dunbaron? You were all students here before, so why not take this opportunity to put aside all your burdens and revisit the old place?"

Dean Mellen's proposal made a glimmer of nostalgia in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor and His Holiness the Pope.

Yes, they were once students of Dunbarton College, and they had spent the best years of their youth here. They had left their legends and their youthful recklessness here, and they had met their best friends and lovers here.

However, as time went by, their strength and power grew stronger, and the burden on their shoulders became heavier. As for those former close friends and lovers, they had long since turned into dry bones. Only they stood at the pinnacle of the human race, enjoying the loneliness admired by everyone.

Things have completely changed.

His Majesty the Emperor and His Holiness the Pope sighed at the same time, then walked down the tower in silence.

Myron said to put down the burden for a while?

It's not that easy. They are the most powerful beings in the human race, and each of them has a huge interest group under them.

Once one of these two interest groups is in turmoil, the entire human race will suffer.

Since they are in this position, they are responsible for countless people.

Whether it is royal power or theocracy, both can slowly weaken in the struggle, but they must never be left alone.

The reason why His Majesty the Emperor and His Holiness the Pope are working so hard is simply because they do not want their own forces to be wiped out in this struggle driven by interest groups.

When the two got on the carriage, they looked at each other, smiled at each other, and then got into the carriage.

After leaving the academy, the struggle between royal power and divine power will become more and more intense until one side is completely defeated.

In fact, this kind of fight is not what His Majesty the Emperor and His Holiness the Pope want to see. At the beginning, the competition they hoped for was a limited and controllable struggle that could enhance the strength of the human race.

But in the end, things got out of control.

The conflict between royal power and divine power has never been a conflict between the emperor and the pope, but a conflict between the aristocratic group and the clergy group. The two of them are just representatives.

The so-called king, in a sense, is nothing more than a puppet of interest groups.

"I'm so glad I chose to stay."

Looking at the two carriages heading in different directions, Dean Myron sighed and murmured softly.

(The assessment plot is over, and a new plot is about to begin. I haven't figured out how to write the next plot to make it exciting enough, so please allow me to update one chapter today and give me a day to sort it out. Thank you everyone.)

Chapter 45: The Majesty of the Pope

"Your Majesty, how did the talk go?"

The Pope had just left the academy in his carriage when the high priest who had been waiting outside boarded the Pope's carriage.

He was wearing a bright red sacrificial robe and holding a scripture. He first bowed and then, at the Pope's signal, sat in front of His Holiness.

The high priest is the supreme leader of all priests in the church, and all bishops are under his command.

This high priest possesses temple-level strength, is one of the top leaders in the theocratic power, and is also an important assistant to His Holiness the Pope.

“It didn’t work out.”

The Pope shook his head at the high priest's words. It can be said that there was no gain this time.

"Dean Myron has chosen to stand on the side of the king?"

The high priest frowned. Originally, the power of the king was slightly inferior to the power of theocracy.

But once Dunbarton College chooses to stand on the side of His Majesty the Emperor, the strength of the two sides will instantly be greatly separated.

"No, Dean Myron did not choose any force, but remained absolutely neutral."

The Pope's voice was a little low. If the academy chose to remain neutral, then there was no telling when this struggle would end.

“Is that so…”

The high priest groaned and said that it was good enough that the academy could remain neutral.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Victoria of the Empire is extremely talented. Is that true?"

As he was speaking, the high priest suddenly thought of the famous princess. He had heard in the holy city of Tadin that there was a princess with extraordinary talent, Victoria, in the royal city of Tara.

Since she has taken part in the assessment this time, His Holiness the Pope should be able to easily see the background of this princess with his keen eyesight.

Now he just wanted to know whether the princess's talent was as exaggerated as the rumors said. After all, this was related to the issue of his successor.

"Yes, this princess's talent is indeed outstanding. If my estimation is correct, it is a sure thing for her to become a temple-level person."

After hearing the words of the high priest, His Holiness the Pope nodded and gave a brief account of the confrontation he saw in the observatory tower.

To be honest, when the Pope saw Victoria performing Meteor in the observatory tower, he was also surprised.

A wizard who can cast forbidden magic in the Glorious Realm is truly terrifying. Only professionals above the Divine Level will understand what this means.

After listening to what the Pope said, the high priest was silent for a long time.

If everything is really as His Holiness the Pope said, then this Princess Victoria is too dangerous for their theocratic forces.

With such a high talent, once he breaks through to the semi-god realm in the near future, it will completely overturn the situation of royal power and divine power.

The worst thing is that there is no genius among the theocracy who can compare with Victoria.

"Your Holiness, why not let the Inquisition Church... before this princess grows up..."

The high priest didn't say anything else, but the cold light flashing in his eyes and the strong murderous aura on his body had already exposed the extremely dark thoughts in his heart.

Under the theocratic power represented by His Holiness the Pope, there are four institutions.

One is a church headed by the high priest, who is in charge of all priests, missionaries and nuns, and controls the economic power of the entire theocratic force.

One is the Crusader Legion headed by the Legion Commander, who commands all Crusader armies and holds the military power of the theocratic forces.

One is the major professional temples, but as things have developed to this point, it is still hard to say how many masters of these professional temples will obey the Pope's orders.

The last one is the Inquisition mentioned by the High Priest. This Inquisition is headed by the Grand Inquisitor and is specifically responsible for dealing with various pagans and spies lurking in from the dark races. It is an institution that controls the judiciary.

At this time, the high priest mentioned the Inquisition, obviously intending to assassinate Victoria.

It is best to eliminate a genius before he becomes a strong man. If Victoria can be eliminated at this time, the threat will naturally no longer exist.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

After hearing the high priest's words, the Pope's expression immediately became serious. He spoke in a cold tone and stared straight at the high priest.

Under that sharp gaze like a blade, the high priest became a little flustered, and his back was gradually soaked with sweat.

This is the pressure of a demigod. A strong man who can draw on the power of gods is not someone that an ordinary temple-level professional can resist.

"Listen to me. There are many ways to fight for power, even if it means sacrificing some people with less talent. But I absolutely won't allow you to touch Victoria, because this is shaking the foundation of the human race. The future of the human race needs Victoria, do you understand?"

The Pope looked down at the high priest coldly. His tone seemed to be able to freeze the surrounding air into ice. Although the Pope did not show any anger on the surface, the high priest knew in his heart that the Pope was on the verge of exploding.

"Yes Yes Yes."

The high priest bent down in a slightly embarrassed manner, constantly wiping the sweat from his face. He had not expected that his idea would arouse such great anger from the Pope.

"Go out and do what you should do. Get all our people out of Dunbaron and don't send anyone in for a while."

After hearing the words of His Holiness the Pope, the high priest felt as if he had been pardoned and hurriedly left the carriage.

He was not a strong man at the level of Sword Saint who could chat and laugh in front of a demigod-level strong man. He was just an ordinary temple-level professional. To be honest, he really could not withstand the wrath of the Pope.

"call."

Looking at the slightly embarrassed high priest, the Pope let out a deep breath and frowned slightly.

"That girl seems very special."

The Pope murmured softly and cast his gaze once again toward the busy evening streets of Dunbarton. No one knew who the girl he was referring to was.

On the other side, with the end of the assessment, the instructors also began their ten-day vacation. Elena was naturally dragged by Margaret to the streets of Dunbaron.

Dunbarton is particularly beautiful at night. Various magic lights are constantly lighting up, and the whole city becomes dazzling. If you look at it from high in the sky, it is as dazzling as a pearl adorning the earth.

The streets are also very lively with people coming and going.

Today is a carnival night and all entertainment venues will be open all night long so that students who have been successfully admitted to the college can have a night of partying.

"Phew, you're suffocating me to death!"

As soon as she walked out of the academy, Lamia ended her hiding state and appeared in front of Elina and Margaret.

During the assessment, this girl wanted to complain all the time, but because of the existence of the human demigod, she couldn't speak, which made her feel very depressed.

"Good evening, Miss Lamia."

Seeing a delicate little dragon that looked like a crystal sculpture appear before her eyes, Margaret was not surprised at all and greeted it very naturally.

Passersby did not notice Lamia. After all, in Dunbaron, all kinds of strange people and things could happen, and the citizens had long been accustomed to it.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lamia. I'm going to treat you to a big meal as a reward!"

Elina rubbed Lamia's head. Although this made Lamia very resistant, when she heard that she could have a big meal, a look of desire still reflected in her eyes.

(There is one more chapter, still being written.)

Chapter 46 Why is business so good!!!

At night, Alina took Lamia and Margaret for a stroll through the streets of Dunbaron.

The night in Dunbaron gave Elina a different feeling from all the cities she had experienced before. Here, there seemed to be a more comfortable atmosphere and a more youthful vitality, which could not be felt in other cities.

Every city has its own unique temperament, and I think this is the unique temperament of the Academy City - Dunbaron.

"Ok?"

Elina frowned slightly, then looked back and saw a bustling crowd, and there was nothing wrong.

"what happened?"

Margaret looked at Elina with some curiosity, and Lamia turned her head at the same time.

"Ah, nothing, let's keep going."

Alina shook her head.

It was strange. Just at that moment, she could clearly feel that someone was following her, but why couldn't she find anyone when she turned around?

Elina felt something was wrong. There were only a few people in this world who could follow her without being discovered. Who could it be?

In the crowd not far away, the silver-haired Melissa had completely disguised herself as an ordinary human girl. She also carried a hidden treasure bestowed by Lilith.

In this case, as long as Melissa does not leave the area protected by the treasure and does not enter the academy, even Dean Myron will not be able to find her, let alone Elena.

Melissa noticed Elena and her group as soon as they left the academy, and then she followed them quietly. After all, her attention was now all focused on the academy.

When she saw Lamia appear, there was an obvious hint of murderous intent in her eyes, and this uncontrolled murderous intent caught Elina's attention.

Every time Melissa sees this Doragon named Lamia, she can't control her emotions.

She could never forget what happened that day over the Axis Fortress.

This was the first time in thousands of years that she had suffered such a great humiliation, and she vowed to take revenge.
