Today's princess is still cute

It’s called homework, but it’s nothing more than reading a book and then choosing your favorite paragraphs and writing them down.

Tina sat down at the desk, spread out the paper, picked up the pen, and opened the book she had just read halfway.

The paper and pen were taken from the eldest prince, a lot of them, for Tina to use. This half brother was quite reliable, always secretly helping Tina, I don't know if it was for reputation or if he really cared about family affection.

The book I read today is "The Princess in Distress and the Knight of Justice". There is a line of words on the cover. It is suitable as a bedtime reading for children aged five to eight.

Tina watched it carefully.

This is the only joy in her life.

“Dear little princess, please believe that somewhere in this world, there must be someone who was born for you. That is the knight who is destined to protect you.

When you fall into the abyss, don't lose hope. Hold on a little longer, even for just one second, until that person breaks through the thorns and kills the dragon, appears in front of you like a hero, saves you, and takes you out of the dark ocean.

You will ride on his white horse and head towards a bright and infinitely beautiful future together.

It is full of flowers and honey.”

Knight?

Tina was silent for a long moment, finding it impossible to imagine the scene.

But she still picked up the pen and began to copy the paragraph.

She loves it.

Chapter 19 The Final Test

"Knight, Harrington, if you become a knight, what is the first thing you will do?"

Looking at the people busy with testing on the playground, Cardinson chatted.

Harrington thought about it seriously and said, "Write a letter home and tell him and them."

"Your own."

"I'll buy a lot of meat and eat as much as I want," Harrington said with a yearning expression. "Cardinson, what about you?"

Cardinson stretched his legs and said with a smile: "I haven't decided yet. Maybe I'll do the same as you and have a good meal, or go out and have some fun."

Harrington grinned and said to Cardinson sincerely, "When the time comes, let's go together. I know where it is. Barbecue is delicious."

"Hey, we'll talk about the barbecue some other time. Look, do you see that guy on the left? Yes, that's the one called Arthur. He's the son of an earl. After the selection is over today, let's go to his house and eat as much as we want." Cardinson said with a wink.

"Ah? Uncle Earl?" Harrington was a little scared. "That's not good. I am a commoner and the son of a blacksmith."

Cardinson patted him on the shoulder and said seriously, "There shouldn't be class differences between friends. If you care about class, you can't be true friends. I'll introduce you to them later and we'll have dinner together, okay?"

Harrington was infected by the enthusiasm in his eyes. He didn't care about anything else and just nodded vigorously.

circle.

A small circle.

Cardinson looked carefully for a long time and found that Arthur and Leonard had no problem passing the previous physical fitness test. They might even rank very high. Especially Leonard, who looked a little thin. Unexpectedly, he was in such good health. No wonder he was one of the top ten when the names were called, and even ranked third behind Harrington.

Now he just wants to form a small circle in the Vatican, a group that can stick together and advance and retreat together.

As for whether he would be accused of forming cliques, he didn't care.

Although there are not as many factions within the Holy See as in other organizations, there are still many people who stick together, and it is impossible to say that the relationship with everyone is equally good.

Cardinson didn't want to deny his idea at all. He wanted to be the best and the most dazzling one, so that outstanding people would gather around him and work together to seize and defend their interests.

The three people currently tentatively selected are Harrington, Arthur, and Leonard. After Cardinson observes them for a while and determines whether they can really get along, he will take these three people to fly together without hesitation.

To fight against the future demon king, the power of one person is definitely not enough.

No, it should be said that no matter what you do, you should have a group of like-minded friends.

"Is this considered excessive self-awareness? Do you want to be the big brother?" Cardinson suddenly laughed at himself and shook his head. "I wish there was a big leg I could hold on to right now. I don't know where the heroes who will fight against the devil in the future are now."

As the sun moved, the test on the playground gradually came to an end.

Arthur and Leonard were both ordered to rest and came over to talk to Cardinson.

"Kaysen, you are too good. That iron ball almost made my heart explode. I only lifted 300 kilograms and I almost fainted." Arthur patted his chest and poured the potion into his mouth while talking. "You lifted 700 kilograms! You almost broke Sir Hadley's record!"

Leonard nodded, obviously agreeing with Arthur.

Both of them had good final results, especially Leonard. Although he was a bit behind a genius like Cardinson, he was much better than Beth next to him. In terms of speed, he was just a few tenths of a second away from surpassing Cardinson.

"Thank you for your hard work! Come, introduce yourself!"

Cardinson stood up, pulled Harrington over and introduced them to the two men. After they exchanged their names, they quickly formed a temporary circle.

The thoughts of young people are far less complicated than those of later generations. Even though fifteen is the legal age for adulthood in the Blue Empire, their age is there and they still have hair on their mouths.

Harrington's performance was obvious to all, and Arthur and Leonard would naturally not reject becoming friends with such a promising young man.

Even though he was the son of a blacksmith.

What the Holy See has always pursued is that as long as you become a member, everyone in the Holy See is a family member, without distinction or class.

In Arthur's eyes, it was a foregone conclusion that Harrington would become a Vatican Knight. No matter what his thoughts were, he would not reject Cardinson's offer.

"I just told Harrington that we can go to your house for dinner tonight. I hope it won't be too much trouble?" Cardinson winked at Arthur.

Arthur patted Harrington's arm enthusiastically. "How could that be? I can't say enough about welcoming you. Let's go together. Our chef is very good. He can cook flavors from all over the world. I guarantee that they will suit your appetite!"

Harrington's dark face turned red, and he said in a muffled voice, "Thank you."

Seeing his shy look, even Leonard, who was taciturn next to him, couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

The four teenagers sat together and talked about interesting topics, but most of the time it was Cardinson who did the talking, Arthur who was cheering, and Harrington and Leonard who only interjected from time to time.

Who is Cardinson, brothers? A time traveler! A senior netizen! He has a lot of random things in his mind. Just a few of them can make the other three very interested. And they are all stories and jokes about friendship. With Cardinson's efforts, the relationship between the four people has unknowingly become closer.

There were people nearby who wanted to join their circle, but Arthur sent them away after a few polite words.

As a noble, he naturally knows the principle of small but good. Now is not the time to expand his social circle. Cardinson admired this very much. This kid really knows how to do it.

The girls formed a circle, with Beth leading the group, while Fiona sat at the outermost edge with her head down, not saying a word, looking like she didn't want to participate.

The rest time was not too long. At twelve o'clock noon, after everyone had finished the test and drank the potion to rest, Burke stood up again.

He did not announce the test results ranking, but most people knew that Cardinson would definitely be first, after all, his performance was so outstanding.

"Okay! Continue to line up according to the original team! I know some of you must be hungry, tired, and exhausted, but it's not time to rest yet! When you are performing the mission, you will suffer much more than you are now!"

Burke looked at the children who quickly gathered and found their positions, and told Cardinson a test that he had not expected.

"There is only one test this afternoon. After the test, you will know who will be selected to become a knight of the Holy See! The content is - awakening yourself!"

Chapter 20 Unprecedented achievements!

Awaken yourself?

Cardinson was stunned.

It's not that I haven't heard of it, but it's too famous.

In previous games, players called this one of the most difficult selection contents for the Vatican Knights, and also the most confusing one.

At that time, a special priest will come to perform secret spells on them, and then they will enter their own subconscious world and communicate with the deepest soul. The soul will ask you three questions. If you cannot wake up within thirty minutes, it means that the test has failed, and naturally a priest will come to lift the secret spell.

This thing depends on who wakes up the fastest and gets the best result, which is a reflection of the determination one has inside.

Cardinson was a little frightened. He knew who he was, a time traveler. If he revealed his true identity, wouldn't he be treated as a heretic and be staked to death?

Things like soul are mysterious in any world.

The most important thing is that Cardinson didn't figure out whether he was an immigrant or a smuggler. Time travel is popular, but when it happens to you, you will know how scary it is.

Fortunately, this guy was standing in the first row, so no one noticed his expression. Even if Burke noticed, he would just think he was nervous.

Soon, under Burke's leadership, a group of people were taken to the inner cathedral of the Vatican. Unlike the one outside, this one was only for internal staff like them.

The Church of the Blue Empire is somewhat different from that of other worlds, the most obvious of which is the lack of statues.

God is everything and is everywhere; sculptures are just false worship.

So, what the rows of chairs were facing was actually a pot of flowers.

A pot of golden star sea flowers that can be seen everywhere on the mainland.

Many, many, many years ago, simple common people believed that this was the incarnation of God and that the Holy See was founded by a group of the most devout believers at the time, so they took the Star Sea Flower as a symbol. Even the emblem of the Holy See was engraved with the Star Sea Flower.

I don't know where the first Pope found this pot of flowers, but it has been there since the first day of the establishment of the Holy See.

Cardinson knew that this pot of golden flowers, which looked nothing but beautiful, was actually a true miracle, a mythical item that surpassed the legendary level and would never wither or be damaged.

Twenty years later, facing the devil's all-out attack, the city was about to be destroyed. The Pope had no choice but to throw the flower away.

blocked

The players at that time were all dumbfounded, and the Demon King was also dumbfounded. The human coalition seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack and finally won the victory.

It was quite dramatic. Cardinson even suspected that it was a scripted killing. The Demon King's combat power was already the ceiling of this world, but it was reversed by such a small thing.

There was a related task later, called [Explore the Secret of the Miracle Flower]. Cardinson worked on it for three months but failed to complete even one-fifth of it. In the end, he went to play the ladder in frustration. Not long after that, he traveled through time and space, and never saw anyone or any team complete this task.

According to professional players on the forum who have completed three-fifths of the task, this quest is related to the Sleeping God and is probably the highlight of the new version.

Well, none of this has anything to do with Cardinson now.

In your previous life, you were so arrogant, the number one Shadow Knight in the server, and even the Pope had to greet you when you walked into the Vatican. Now you are just a small fry waiting for others to recruit you into the organization. The real thing is to think about how to get through this level.

Burke asked them to sit down and get ready, then he said calmly, "I know what most of you are thinking. Didn't do well in the physical test? No chance of joining the Holy See? No, the physical test is just an assessment. I can tell you frankly that in our selection, I couldn't even lift a 200-pound iron ball. My speed and endurance were at the bottom, but I was selected only because of the final test."

As soon as he finished speaking, a priest in a white robe walked out from the side. He looked to be in his early twenties, so ordinary that he could be lost in a crowd. The only thing that impressed people was his pair of weathered eyes.

"You're right. The final test is the most important thing."

Just seeing this person, Cardinson's pupils suddenly shrank.

Bach Ellis!

A legendary figure who has been active on the continent a hundred years ago. His age is unknown, but his strength is unfathomable. He is the head of the three cardinals of the Holy See today, and his status is second only to the Pope. He and the First Paladin who lives in seclusion in a small diocese are known as the twin pillars of the Holy See.

In the game, players listed a list of the "Top Ten NPCs", and Bach Ellis ranked ninth.

It's a pity that if the plot develops as it should, the bishop will be sacrificed at the hands of the devil, using his life to buy time for the imperial capital's defense formation.

Cardinson was in the crowd underground at that time and saw it clearly. The Demon King, who had chopped down the First Paladin with three sword strikes, was actually delayed for five minutes by this bishop.

This white-robed priest just standing there gives people a natural feeling of being one with the world.

Burke respectfully saluted as a knight, and placed his right fist on his heart: "Greetings to you, the respected Lord Ellis."

The Vatican advocates being like a family, but when seeing this bishop, everyone respects him from the bottom of their hearts, even the Pope has to take the initiative to greet him.

Among Cardinson's group, no one except him knew Bach Ellis, who was only famous in high-level circles.

When this pivotal bishop entered the Vatican, most of the people present had not even their great-grandfathers been born.

Bach waved his hand, his voice gentle and calm: "Children, I will perform a secret technique on you next. Don't be nervous, just relax. What you will see in the ocean of subconsciousness will be your truest and deepest soul. Talk to him and answer the questions. You will wake up after three seconds. If you feel confused, I will wake you up in half an hour."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Bach also noticed Cardinson who was sitting in the front row. After all, he was the best looking one. Now he happened to meet the boy's eyes.

Cardinson felt his hair stand on end.

We often see in novels that when a great master takes a look at the protagonist, the protagonist feels as if he has been seen through and through.

In fact, masters who have reached a certain level are basically not so boring.

Bach blinked at him, moved his lips slightly, and a voice floated into his ears.

"Hello, child. Please don't be nervous. In the past few hundred years, you are the first human who has been associated with the Dark Moon Elves to join the Church. Welcome."

The hair dye carefully prepared by Old Pine's friend looked like a clumsy child's trick in Bach's eyes, and it was easily broken.

Cardinson didn't expect that this was what was said. He felt very nervous and could only nod quietly with gratitude in his eyes.

This was just a minor episode for Bach.

No matter if they are half-blooded Dark Moon elves or pure humans, as long as they join the Church, they are part of it. He has no prejudice against them. Instead, like old Pine, he is extremely tolerant and loving.
