The female devils I saved came to my door

This sword master is different from other bishops.

That day, in that pulpit, everyone argued endlessly around Sirna, thinking that they were the most qualified person to be her mentor.

However, only this Munro, only him, did not look at Hilna much from the beginning to the end, but kept staring at Ciel.

Just stare at Ciel.

This incident made him very confused.

After moving into the mansion, although he also went out and tried to find Mr. Monroe to inquire about the situation, no one knew where the Lord Sword Master was.

Anyway, his qualifications and popularity are already extremely high. Even if he is not in the post, no one dares to make irresponsible remarks on him.

He will only appear during the weekly high services and masses hosted by the Pope. As an accompanying bodyguard, he will stand beside the altar holding a heavy sword, silently and solemnly guarding the spokesperson of the Father.

And when the mass is over, he will leave in a hurry.

Therefore, Charles could not find any opportunity to discuss with him in detail face to face.

"Teacher, don't be so anxious. That Lord Monroe must have his secret mission and won't have time to take care of us for a while." Hilna felt it didn't matter: "Let's enjoy life first."

She seamlessly integrated into the leisurely life here, feeding the white pigeons in the square, tasting the delicacies prepared with raw materials that only Glory City could assemble, reading the various books stored in the mansion, and changing the various gorgeous clothes in the wardrobe. ...It seems that I came to Glory City for vacation.

But Charles was not feeling at ease.

In Ipoli, he was able to relax his vigilance and enjoy life leisurely because there was really no one there who could threaten him, and everyone was simple and very friendly to him.

But it's different here.

A place with an extremely glamorous surface and where the most authoritative clergymen on the continent gathered, this kind of place would arouse his instinctive vigilance - not to mention the sword master with an inexplicable attitude.

Did he take a fancy to Sirna's talent and decide to support this girl for his own use, or did he serve as this girl's mentor out of pure love for her talent?

What is the reason for his strange attitude towards Ciel?

Is his outward goodwill motivated by a larger conspiracy?

No matter how he thought about it, there was absolutely no possibility of any intersection between him and the sword master who was at the top of the continent.

The only possibility is that he beat up a Paladin Perry - this old man claimed that when he first joined the Paladin Guards, he worked under Lord Monroe for several months.That's all.

But he also didn't want to share his worries with Silna and Lovna.

Therefore, when facing the girl Hilna who is happily painting and sketching in the courtyard and discussing clothing, art, history and love with the two maids, he will try to put on a relaxed smile and pretend that he is enjoying everything now.

When he wrote a letter to describe his current situation and wanted to send news to Lovna who was far away in Ipoli, he would only use cartoon sketches and a relaxed tone to describe the scenes he saw in Glory City instead of Mention your confusion and concerns.

In a state of anxiety, they ushered in the day when the seminary officially opened for enrollment.

Lord Monroe finally appeared again.

33.Start of school

About five months after Charles left Ipoli, the midsummer season in the Western Continent had passed.

At this time, the Great Hessend area where Ipoli is located should have entered a slightly cooler autumn.However, Rongguang City is located on the southern coast of the mainland, and there is still some scorching heat left.

The Classical Theological Seminary under the Eternal Holy See has also officially started enrollment.Top students from all over the world also come here, hoping to get the opportunity to bathe in the holy light and increase their knowledge under the grace of the church.

The great sword master, Lord Ether Monroe, finally appeared again.

It's still that oppressive heavy armor, and it's still that unsmiling face.

He knocked gently on the door of the mansion, as if he were the uneasy visitor.

When the maid opened the door and hurriedly came to report, Charles, who was writing a letter in the house, went out to greet her.

"Are you still adapting to life here?" After meeting, he asked, "Are you feeling any discomfort?"

"Of course not. Thank you for your generous hospitality, Mr. Monroe, but I have some questions to ask you..."

"If there are any questions, I will explain them later. Now, call Miss Hilna and follow me to the seminary to report." After saying that, he turned around and made a gesture of invitation.

Behind him was a rather exquisite double-door four-wheeled carriage. The exterior was completely dark. Two snow-white horses were pawing their hooves in front of the carriage. On the carriage sat a steady groom in straight clothing.

This carriage was tailor-made for Monroe's body shape, so it was larger than an ordinary carriage, and the interior space was larger and more spacious.

"Please get in the car." He made a gesture of invitation and then opened the car door.

In the carriage that has been cast with many spells, the temperature and humidity are absolutely constant. Sitting on the soft backrest chair really feels like a king.

Sirna was still a little cautious. After all, it was her first time to see such a spacious, stable and comfortable high-end carriage, and she was facing a legendary figure like the Vatican Sword Master.

She was worried that the black dress she put on today was too eye-catching and would make others unhappy.

Ciel's focus was more on the sword master in front of him.

He traveled in a carriage without taking off his armor.The tall body wearing armor looked even bigger when sitting in the carriage.

Especially when he looked down at Ciel, the feeling of oppression was extremely strong.

It was like a giant elephant looking down at the little man in front of him.

This awkward and torturous look forced Charles to say something to diffuse the atmosphere:

"Sir Monroe, uh, I..." Just as he was about to ask a question, he was interrupted by his father-in-law in front of him.

Monroe said: "Char, I won't add honorifics before and after your name - not only Hilna, I think you should also enter the seminary to study for a period of time.

"Although your talent and age do not allow you to be the target of key training. But if you are interested in becoming a Paladin, a Pope's personal guard, a Holy City guard, or want to serve a noble lord in the future, you can gain a future. , then the experience and knowledge acquired in the seminary will become an indispensable boost for you.

"Oh, a few letters of recommendation from superiors are of course essential. You know, without a reliable person as a guarantee, a genius with an ordinary background will inevitably have his pearls tarnished... I can help you get these. I I believe I can help you in the future to gain recognition and become a great person.

"Don't worry, since I have served as your and Hilna's mentor, I will definitely be serious and responsible, and I will definitely teach you well."

As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand with a thick arm guard and patted Ciel's shoulder gently to show friendship.

But I have to say that his movements were very stiff, and he always had an expressionless poker face, and his tone of voice was even more emotionless, as if he was a primary school student who was forced to recite lessons.

It's like an honest person who never lies is forced to learn to please others.

All in all, it makes people feel uncomfortable.

Helpless, he could only vaguely agree, saying that he would live up to Lord Sword Master's high expectations, study hard, and express his gratitude to Lord Monroe for his concern...

The sword master probably realized that his words were too false, so he was a little embarrassed.

Both of them turned to look out the car window.

On both sides of the flat avenue, there were occasionally patrolling knights and clergymen in monk uniforms passing through. They all recognized that the carriage passing by was Ether Munro's car, and they all stopped to salute.

Looking out the car window, there are people bowing and bowing their heads everywhere.

In doubt, he was brought by the sword master to the most sacred, solemn, noble and elegant... In short, all the praise words were not enough to modify it, the gate of this ancient seminary.

In fact, this Rongguang Theological Seminary is actually not very large.

After all, Glory City only consists of this small area. The school is surrounded by cultural relics and valuable private residences, so there is no way to renovate or expand it.The school only enrolls 600 students every year, which is naturally very small.

The main buildings are a library, classroom buildings for teaching various courses, a row of equipment rooms, some buildings, a small canteen, a public meeting hall, and a chapel for students to pray and preach.

In order to restore the difficult learning environment of the forefathers, some dormitories still have broken walls of rammed earth, and the beds inside are still squeaky old wooden beds that may fall apart at any time.

This deliberately difficult environment is also considered to be a training for students.

Therefore, these alone are enough, because this is a seminary under the jurisdiction of the Holy See.

The professors and teachers who teach here are at least bishops. His Majesty the Pope and the Holy Sisters will give lectures here from time to time.Eighty percent of the cardinals and [-]% of the popes in the past have also studied here.

Many devout believers spend a lot of money just to sit in those simple classrooms without any decoration and listen to the teachings of those great clergy.

When Ether Monroe arrived at the entrance of the seminary with Charles and Hilna, the priest who greeted him immediately realized the identity of the visitor and hurriedly greeted him.

The students who were checking their identities and preparing to enter the school formed a long queue early at the school gate.

Charles was a little helpless: He didn't expect that even after coming to another world, in this highest-level seminary, the students' reporting efficiency would still be so low.

The waiting students also realized that the tall warrior was the legendary sword master: Lord Ether Monroe.

The blue-haired girl following the sword master was probably Sirna, whose talent was so outstanding that she alarmed the entire Holy See.

Jealousy, envy, curiosity, confusion, disgust, sadness, hatred... eyes containing various emotions were directed towards Sirna like swords.

This made her feel uneasy, so she huddled behind Ciel and tugged on the teacher's arm, hoping that her teacher could shield him from these gazes.

Ciel habitually raised his hand to protect Sirna, and at the same time glanced at the people who were watching her.

Most people's eyes dodge after meeting his gaze, thinking that this Ciel is some fierce guardian of Sirna.

Only a few had the guts to look him in the eye.

All this was also seen by Mr. Monroe.

He waved to open the small door and enter the school directly without registering.It made those students waiting in line envious and jealous.

"Silna is a top-notch talented student. She doesn't have to go through the same cumbersome procedures as those people." Monroe ordered: "Just go with me..."

It was extremely convenient to have this senior leader from the Holy See with him.They can easily bypass all the red tape and unnecessary formalities and begin their studies in seminary directly.

Ether Munro, although he didn't know why, Ciel could feel familiarity and gentleness from him - this man was very similar to himself.Perhaps his behavior had some deep meaning, but it shouldn't be malicious.

34. Seminary students

"Ether Munro..."

When Ciel read out this name, the nameless person in front of him felt confused and... familiar.

She was troubled by searching her memory in her mind, but she just couldn't remember it.

"Lord Charles, is there really such a Vatican Sword Master in history?" She asked doubtfully: "Why, why do I feel that his name is not included in all the historical records I have read?"

Ciel: "His existence was erased from history by me after the establishment of the Ipoli Empire. Just like many truths at that time. You must have never heard of it, so don't think about it anymore."

But Wuming still felt confused.

She always felt that she knew this name.

Moreover, she could feel that this person was very important to Ciel. Whenever he mentioned this name, Ciel's tone would be a little low, and he would always lower his head, as if he was remembering his father. .

------------------

In this way, Charles and Hilna began their studies at the seminary.

Yes, due to Monroe's suggestion, Ciel, who originally planned to be Sirna's guardian in Glory City, also became a student here.

As mentioned before, students admitted to seminaries are divided into three categories. Let’s briefly describe them:

The first category is the most common, which is to recruit motivated people with no status or average talent.

If these people are willing to join the military, they can train as knights, guards, and grassroots military personnel.If you want to engage in clerical work, go to local church leaders and missionary priests for training.

After coming out, these people can become outstanding backbones of the Holy See. Compared with other mages with ordinary backgrounds, with the seminary level of training experience, their talents will inevitably be higher and there will be more opportunities for promotion.

They can even be appreciated by the superiors and become the sons-in-law of lords or the daughters-in-law of wealthy families.From this, he rose from the bottom and became a high-ranking person.

These people will definitely be grateful to the Holy See.

There are also many in the second category, those who have a very high status and are lucky enough to have magical talents.

These people are often the children of powerful princes, the children of parliamentarians from wealthy city-states, the princes and princesses of kings of great countries...

As if they were favored by the gods, they were not only born with silver spoons in their mouths, but also possessed magical talents.

Such people will definitely inherit the status of their parents in the future and become the rulers of the new era. They will be able to use their magical talents to expand their influence. Of course, the Holy See must make good friends with them.

They are here to gild.

The Holy See taught them the skills to maintain their rule, taught them to be pious and good (the Eternal Holy See is the greatest good), to understand etiquette (the etiquette formulated by the Eternal Holy See), and also taught them some magic spells.

Then, these people can graduate successfully.

They can also claim to be outstanding students of the Holy See's seminaries, and they will be better able to gain support from local churches and consolidate their power.

To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of wooing each other and exchanging benefits.

The third category is the real geniuses.With outstanding ability, he seems to be a messenger sent by Heavenly Father to the world to guide the people.You can understand extremely profound secrets at a young age.

If these people are left alone, it will be a waste of natural resources. Only by using them for their own purposes can the Holy See feel at ease.

Under normal circumstances, only about ten students can meet this standard every year.As for Sirna's talent, she is "one of the top three talents in recorded history."

This was more exaggerated than Ciel expected.
