Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 209 The Only Candidate
Greece.

The Acropolis of Athens.

The Parthenon declared Ye Xinxia innocent.

Someone else was responsible for the death of Saint Panicia, and the death of Saint André was also related to this person.

"The Grand Judge of the Court of Judgment, Dulan, intended to overthrow the Parthenon and plotted to kill Saint Panicia and Saint Andre in order to frame Saint Ye Xinxia."

"Thanks to Saintess Ye Xinxia's wisdom and courage, we uncovered the Grand Judge's conspiracy and imprisoned and tried him and many of his accomplices. As a result, we reorganized the Court of Judgment and tried Dulank with the Dark Judgment."

Hailong stood at the foot of the sacred mountain, expressionless, and read aloud the prepared speech by the temple's matriarch, Pamis.

"Praise be to Saintess Ye Xinxia!"

The faithful bowed their heads in worship, praising Ye Xinxia's wisdom and courage.

"Ugh."

Seeing this, Hailong sighed inwardly.

He didn't understand why the Temple Mother wanted to keep Ye Xinxia in the list of goddess candidates and continue to enhance Ye Xinxia's reputation.

Although he knew that Ye Xinxia had been framed, so many people had died at the Parthenon because of Ye Xinxia.

Without a certain number of high-level mages, the consequences would be unimaginable if the Titans attacked.

Perhaps they were worried that the man would come to the Parthenon again?
Having just won the World University Competition, he already possesses such immense power, yet he acts with such recklessness.

"..." Hailong frowned as he recalled the scene from that day.

"Lord of the Temple, may I ask about the Goddess Yi Zhi Sha?" At this moment, a rather imposing believer stepped forward, wanting to inquire about the situation of Yi Zhi Sha, whom he had seen in the Dark Judgment that day. Hai Long immediately interrupted him, saying solemnly:

"That was an illusion created by Durank, a desecration of the sacredness of the goddess Izusa. No one is to be allowed to mention this again!"

"So it was this heretic, Durank!" The believer believed Hailong's words without a doubt.

The many believers behind him also joined in spitting out Durant.

"There's one more thing I need to announce," Hailong said.

The believers immediately quieted down.

"Starting today, the access road to the Parthenon will be temporarily closed, and a separate temple for worship will be built at the foot of the mountain."

Upon hearing this, the believers were agitated.

"Silence! This is at the foot of the sacred mountain!" Hailong shouted.

After the believers quieted down, Hailong continued, "The closure of the mountain is only temporary. We will lift the closure on the day of the election for Goddess."

Hearing this, the believers were still not very willing. What was the difference between not allowing them to go to the sacred mountain to worship and asking them to give up their faith?
Hailong was helpless in this regard, after all, so many people had died or been injured, and it would take some time to fill most of the vacancies.

Despite the Parthenon's exalted status, far surpassing the five major magic associations, it has never regained its former glory since the time of Isa.

Hyron didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if more people learned that the Parthenon had lost a large group of high-level mages.

Closing the mountain is a must!

"Saintess Asha'ruya!"

The believers suddenly cheered.

Hailong looked back at the mountain path, and Asharuya came down from the mountain.

Ok?
What is Asha's purpose in coming here?
"Lord Hailong."

As Hailong was puzzled, Asha'ruya came over, bowed, and then looked at the believers and said, "I also have something to announce."

"You!" Hailong sensed something was wrong and was about to stop her when he heard Asha'ruya say, "I, Saint Asha'ruya, announce my withdrawal from the list of candidates for Goddess and will no longer participate in the election!"

"Whoosh!"

There was an uproar.

If Asha'ruya withdraws from the list of candidates for Goddess, it means that Ye Xinxia will be the only one left! "Have you discussed this with the Temple Mother? Withdrawing from the list of candidates for Goddess isn't something you can just say. And once you withdraw, Ye Xinxia will be the only candidate and can become Goddess without going through the election. She..." Hailong hesitated before continuing.

"The Queen Mother has given her permission," Asha'ruya said calmly.

Hailong was speechless.

Is Parthenon still the Parthenon he knows?
Why is it that after coming from Jiangyuan, it seems that all its former glory has disappeared?

If the Holy City were to take action, could Jiang Yuan be deemed a heretic?
A series of questions arose in Hailong's mind; he didn't even know that Asha's Ya had left.

………………

The unusual behavior of the Parthenon has attracted significant international attention.

It's important to understand that goddesses held a high status not only in the Parthenon and Greece, but also in most Western countries.

A Chinese person became the sole candidate.

This has never happened before in history.

When the news reached China, it caused quite a stir.

Jiang Yuan hadn't been at the Yaodu Research Institute for long when he received over a dozen phone calls to his communicator.

Aside from congratulatory calls for his victory, most of the calls came from mentors like Feng Li.

They had no idea what had happened at the Parthenon, and even when the old priest Bao asked, he couldn't get any information.

I want to ask Jiangyuan what happened that day.

After all, the fact that the ancient king appeared in Parthenon is no simple matter.

The emperor's every move was closely watched.

Jiang Yuan explained that his necromancy system was inherited from an ancient king, allowing him to borrow some of his power.

Jiang Yuan's necromancy has always been exceptionally strong, and the explanation that he obtained the inheritance of an ancient king is indeed very convincing.

Besides Feng Li and others calling him, Hua Junshou also called him.

He was attending a meeting in the capital to exterminate demons and invited Jiang Yuan to come and fulfill their previous agreement.

The two planned to meet at a high-class guesthouse in the capital that was not open to the public.

...........................

...........................

The sun was obscured by clouds, giving the sweltering streets a brief respite.

A car drove down the street, entered a manor, and finally stopped in front of the guesthouse.

Jiang Yuan didn't even need to open the car door himself; a waiter jogged over, respectfully opened the door, and gestured for him to enter with a smile.

"Hello, please follow me." The waiter had clearly been informed and had been waiting for some time.

Jiang Yuan got out of the car and followed him into the guesthouse, going straight to a room.

Pushing open the door, only Hua Junshou was there.

He immediately stood up to greet him, and said with a smile, "Jiang Yuan, you've finally arrived. Please have a seat."

Shortly after Jiang Yuan took his seat, the dishes began to be served.

"I heard you've already advanced to the Super Rank?" Hua Junshou asked.

Jiang Yuan nodded: "It has already advanced; it's now a super-level necromancy-type."

Hua Jun first grunted and continued, "Before the competition, I promised you resources for advancing to the next level. Now that your Necromancer type has advanced to the next level, the national treasury can also provide two rare and precious materials to help your Water and Space types advance to the next level as well."
