She can directly lock onto anyone within sight and launch this magical attack with a nearly [-]% hit rate, turning the other person's consciousness into a mess in severe pain.

"She's only 15 years old!" Perry's guess about the girl was confirmed. Although he was angry because of the beating, but - a high-level magician with such a talent at the age of 15, the last person with such a talent , when did it happen?

If you can introduce this girl to the Holy See, it will definitely be a great achievement.

If this Hilna can complete theological studies, gain recognition, and enter the Holy See for further study, she may even become a cardinal!

Therefore, the beating I received today is not only not a loss, but may also become a stepping stone for further progress in the future.

Ciel looked at the paladin with a joyful smile in confusion, worried that he had been beaten stupid.

"Mr. Charles...can you let me meet the parents of this Hilna? I hope to have a detailed discussion with her parents, oh, and of course you."

"Are you still thinking about this?" Charles was still a little worried when he talked with him in detail during the day, but seeing that Perry was still so persistent after being beaten like this, he was a little impressed: "You really Do you think Sirna’s child will be cultivated by the Holy See?”

"Of course! She might really become a saint! For the great cause of the Eternal Holy See, my little injury is nothing!" He was very sure.

"Ok."

…………

Sirna wasn't sure what happened, but she also felt that she didn't do the right thing today.Because instead of praising them, Teacher Charles called her parents.

She was also a little worried: "What should I do? Isn't it because I launched a magic attack on the Paladin that I will be arrested and imprisoned?"

"It shouldn't be possible, right?" Lovna thought it was unlikely: "Even if your parents want to hand you over, Teacher Charles, he will definitely protect us."

"Uh, Lovna, my dad is your dad."

"Oh, I forgot." Lovna slapped her forehead: "...Anyway, that's it. What are you afraid of?"

The two girls discussed it for a while, and each felt relieved, feeling that there was nothing to worry about.

The residents of the city didn't even care.

They just felt that the priest and Prince Nolen were making a fuss out of a molehill. They were beaten anyway, so there was nothing to regret.

Most Ipoli people are like this. In life, there is always a kind of ignorant and fearless joy.

But Ciel, and Hilna's parents had been talking to that Perry for too long.

No matter how ignorant and fearless the person is, they will still feel puzzled to some extent.

She was really curious and lying on the window sill of the small house, Hilna saw that her mother in the house seemed to be very enthusiastic and was talking carefully about something with the Paladin Perry who was lying on the bed.

Her religious mother seemed particularly excited.

As for her father, Prince Nolen, and Ciel, both of them looked worried and didn't seem very happy.

"Teacher, what are your parents talking about?" Hilna was confused and worried.

At this time, Charles, who was deep in thought in the room, saw the child peeping out the window.

He thought about it and decided to let Sirna make her own decision.

So, he waved to the girl to enter the house.

28. Persuasion

After Sirna's mother saw her daughter, her excitement was palpable: "Sierna, this Holy Knight doesn't care about today's troubles. He also hopes to send you to Glory City and let you live in the Eternal Holy See. In the holy city, receive the best magic and theological education in the entire West! This way, you can become a true saint in the future!"

"Ah? Glory City..."

Sirna knew that was where the headquarters of the Holy See was located, and even more clearly, the distance from there to Ipoli was so long that it would take several years to complete it.

Prince Nolen was a little troubled: "After all, it's too far there, and Sirna is also young. If she doesn't want to go, forget it...and, who will take care of her when she gets there?"

"We have money. If you don't want to pay, I will. Can't we just hire a few servants to protect Hilna and take care of her daily life?" Hilna's mother was very positive: "Besides, this Mr. Perry I also said that Sirna is a genius among geniuses, and she can become a saint when she reaches the Holy See..."

Perry also shouted: "Madam, please believe in the vision of the Holy See. We treat a gifted child like Hilna with absolute care. She will receive the best care and even receive personal support from the archbishops... …”

"After all, this is just a one-sided statement, madam, don't be too optimistic."

Charles reminded: "Besides, the sky is high and the road is far away. Sirna will definitely miss home. The journey from here to Rongguang City will take more than a year at least. She is a 15-year-old child, friends and family They are all in Ipoli, leaving her alone and relying on a few accompanying servants to take care of her? No way. "

Sirna's mother actually didn't like Ciel very much, but she also knew that Sirna's magical talent, which was looked down upon by others, was inseparable from Ciel's cultivation.

She could only persuade: "Mr. Charles, you also value our Hilna. She is not an ordinary child, she can become a future cardinal! For her future, you should also support her..."

The adults each held their own opinions and quarreled.

"Wait a minute!" Sirna finally reacted: "I want to leave Ypoli? And also to a place like Glory City that I will never reach in my life?"

"It's not a lifetime. The journey is only about five or six months. It can be faster by sea." Charles added: "However, I will definitely stay there for a long time. Maybe I won't even be able to return home for ten or twenty years. .”

He looked at the shocked Hilna and knew what traveling far away from home meant to a child.

If possible, he still hopes that this child can live happily in Ipoli and use the magic he learned to benefit the country.On this basis, let’s consider the Queen’s affairs.

If you enter the fiercely competitive and glorious Eternal Holy See headquarters, you will probably be nailed to the priesthood for the rest of your life.

For an ordinary local aristocrat, the fact that his or her child can enter the greatest and most glorious city for further study, gain the opportunity to admire the supreme glory, and bask in divine grace is an event that is enough to make the souls of the ancestors laugh in the underworld.

However, Sirna is different.

With nearly ten years of companionship and care, Sirna has occupied nearly one-third of Charles's life.

Ciel has truly regarded her as a part of his life.

Although he hopes that this child will truly become a beloved queen, he does not particularly hope that the systematic prophecy will come true - any tyrant or female devil, that is too much.

If possible, it would be better to give Sirna a simple and happy life.

Sirna's mother's trust in the Holy See came from her faith, so she was full of wishful expectations.

However, in reality, Glory City, one wonders, how could a Holy See, which holds the highest divine authority on the continent and possesses massive resources, be pure and innocent?How could it be spotless?

Even if Sirna is extremely talented and has some little knowledge about rulers from Professor Charles, her political ability is definitely incomparable to that group of old fritters who play politics every day.

Let Sirna enter the Holy See, a place with a lot of rules and regulations, where crazy fanatics, self-righteous bureaucrats, and old-fashioned aristocrats are prevalent. Is this child's future really guaranteed?

I am afraid that her talent will not only not help her rise, but will become a tool for some ambitious people.

Perry, the Paladin, made ridiculous claims, saying that as soon as Hilna entered the Holy See, she would be taken seriously, that she would become a top student in the seminary, and that she would be promoted to cardinal after working for more than ten years after graduation... This was just like a liar. .

Hilna obviously disagreed.

"I don't want to leave Ipoli!" she replied immediately: "I'm not leaving! I don't trust these two guys!"

"Sirna, don't make any noise, these two are paladins..." Her mother was a little embarrassed.

"I don't care if he is a Paladin!" Sirna immediately retorted: "First they came to trouble Mr. Charles and asked the church to take down my portrait, then they beat Sister Lovna, and now they come here to take me away. I'm going all the way to the Holy See... I'm not going! This guy must be a liar!

"Isn't it said in the doctrine: Wherever there is a believer, the place where he is is a holy country - am I not pious enough? Why should I go all the way to the Holy See where I am unfamiliar? You cannot believe in eternity in Ipoli Lord?"

Her mother was speechless at these words.

"Okay, Sirna, don't be angry. I will respect your decision and have a good rest." After she yelled, Charles comforted: "Everything is based on your decision. Go play with Lovna. .”

Only then did Sirna nod in agreement.

Perry also noticed that Prince Nolen didn't have any opinions, and the relationship between Sirna's mother and daughter was tense - this girl's parents were not helpful, and it seemed that what she listened to most was the words of Mr. Charles.

She respected this Ciel even more than her parents.

Perry was thoughtful, knowing that he should open a breakthrough from Ciel.

…………

Two days later, in the Ipoli church, Perry, who had recovered from his injuries, could get up and walk.

But his companion Thalia was still seriously injured, so he still had to wait.

As the culprit of all the trouble, Ciel had to come to visit the two paladins who were temporarily staying in the church.

So, this gave Perry the opportunity to strike up a conversation.

"Mr. Charles," he said mysteriously, "Where did you learn your martial arts skills in the past?"

"I practiced by myself, what's wrong?"

"What about your magic? You learned it by yourself during your journey? Also, I heard the priest say that you are proficient in many kinds of grammar, including the grammar of classical elegant language."

"Yes, what's the problem?" Charles was impatient.

Those language packs were gifts given by the system when they first traveled through time. At present, they were of no use other than to show off, and Ciel didn't take them seriously.

"So, you should have aristocratic blood and have been educated by an orthodox aristocratic family?"

"I am a commoner." Ciel reiterated: "I am an absolute commoner, with no aristocratic blood at all."

"Oh, it's okay. For various reasons, nobles who don't want to be named can also be accepted by the Holy See."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"I just want to ask: Why do you, a young man with such rich skills and who can convince everyone by living in Ipoli for several years, live in seclusion in this remote place? You seem to be only in your 20s. Why not Try to find a place where your talents can really be used, and try to achieve something?"

"Oh..." Charles saw his purpose: "You want to invite me to Glory City?"

"Yes, try to apply for a Paladin, or see if you can join the Pope's bodyguard. If not, become a clerk in classical elegance, a patrolman in the Holy City... In Glory City, you will have no shortage of anything you want to buy, including food. The clothing is much more comfortable than here in Ipoli. As the saying goes, 'Even begging in the holy city is better than being a king in the countryside.'"

Perry began to describe everything in Glory City vividly: the spacious and bright avenues, the majestic historical monuments, the solemn and solemn ancient holy churches, and novel products from all over the world.

A proud and upright knight, an honest and efficient official, a pious and compassionate bishop...

Perry's description is very contagious, describing Glory City as brighter than the Kingdom of Heaven.

If it weren't for the fact that Charles had seen a truly modern city in his previous life, he would have been bewildered by this amazingly eloquent paladin.

Maybe there will also be a feeling that "I am not appreciating my talent by staying in Ipoli", which will give rise to the unique yearning for big cities among young people in small towns.

But Perry's mouth went dry as he spoke, but Charles remained unmoved.

The paladin was a little desperate: "Mr. Charles, I've been talking for so long, why don't you express your gratitude?"

"How should I express it? I think Glory City is so beautiful. I can't wait to go there now to display my talents and climb to a high position?"

Charles was a little amused: "Mr. Perry, what you said is indeed very good, but is it really the case? Is Glory City really as perfect as you say? Is the Holy See really that courteous?

"If Sirna goes to Glory City, can she really be valued and become a key cultivation target of the Holy See, and will not be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives? Can she really grow up smoothly? You are so enthusiastic to encourage Sirna to go to the Holy See. Is it just because of your love and selflessness? Do you believe this?"

29. Hilna changed her mind

Perry was also stunned.

"It seems I was right." Charles felt a little bored: "Your Excellency Perry, you have seen that Hilna is very obedient to my words, so you hope to attract me to Glory City, and then, along with this The kids will be willing to go along, right?”

"Um...yes..." Perry was a little embarrassed after his thoughts were revealed.

After thinking for a while, he simply made it clear:

"Yes, Mr. Charles, I can see that the child relies on you very much. I also admit that if Hilna's child can be recognized by the Holy See, I, as the recommender, will definitely be rewarded by the Holy See. Within the Holy See, it is true that Some... people who are striving for power will use and bewitch those young talents and recruit them for their own use. But those are only a few!

"The real leaders within the Holy See, such as His Majesty the Pope, such as Lord Sword Master Monroe, such as Lord Saint Sister... they are all absolutely selfless and absolutely trustworthy people.

"I can guarantee that given Sirna's age and her high-level magic talent, the attention she receives is absolutely extraordinary! As long as she gets the attention of those reliable big shots, her future will definitely go smoothly without any danger!

"And, Mr. Charles, I am not lying about my opinion of you. You are indeed a very special person, with amazing fighting skills and experience; as a foreigner, you can gain the trust of the people of a country at a young age; Proficient in all kinds of grammar and basic magic... You are a truly all-round talent. You will definitely get along well even in Glory City.

"Furthermore, I can see that the reason why you lost control and beat up my partner a few days ago was because you really cared about your students, which made you lose control of your emotions - there are the top physical therapists in the mainland in Glory City. It can definitely solve your psychological depression problem!

"You are only in your 20s! Are you willing to stay in this remote country for the rest of your life, with your students, doing nothing, sitting back and watching the opportunity to get ahead disappear, and just squander your magic talent and help farmers harvest? Maizi, performing juggling at the wedding banquet? Will you regret it until you grow old? "

Charles still shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm really not interested. I don't think Yiboli is a remote place, and I don't think using magic to help them is a lowly job. The people here are very nice to me. I also want to live here forever. I won’t regret it because I can’t get ahead.”

"...Okay." Perry laughed self-deprecatingly: "I really don't understand you. My biggest ideal is to climb to a high position. At least I want to be the captain of the Paladin Guard, so that my parents can , my wife and daughter are proud of me.

"That's why I took on these long journeys, stayed away from Glory City, and came to this remote Black Sende... just because I can accumulate merit and have more opportunities for promotion. I really don't understand you. Now that I have this opportunity, I am unwilling to seize it..."

Charles replied: "I suggest you spend more time with your family. There is no need to be so busy trying to get promoted. Maybe your wife and daughter would like you to stay with them more."

The two talked for a few words, but they felt that they were at odds with each other and their words were not congenial.

The church soon fell silent again.

However, their conversation had been overheard by a third person, namely Hilna, who followed Charles and lay secretly outside the church to eavesdrop on the conversation.

Her magical affinity allowed her to completely hide in the natural environment, and even Ciel didn't realize she was being followed.

She listened carefully to the words of Paladin Perry through the wall, and she also murmured in her heart.

"Is my talent really that high? Will it be difficult for Teacher Charles to stay in Ipoli? This person named Perry also thinks highly of Teacher Charles. Teacher Charles is good at everything and knows everything. Are people really willing to stay here all their lives and be a teacher in a remote area?"

In the past, she always didn't understand Lovna's inexplicable inferiority complex, but now, she also feels it.
