Chapter 290: 290
She was petite and looked young . She couldn’t be more than fifteen years old .
But that was quite normal . The demands for the Holy Ladies of most religions were devoutness and virginity .
Also, the Holy Ladies were the faces of those religions, so they needed to be both pious and pretty .
Before, the Church of Light paid little attention to the appearance of the Holy Lady as long as she was devoted and capable .
However, the case changed decades ago when the gods convened a meeting on the compatibility issues of the churches .
After all, the doctrines of certain churches were contradictory to those of other churches .
Both the pope and the Holy Lady took part in the meeting .
When a dozen churches gathered at the periphery of the Elf Forest, the Holy Ladies of the other churches were all gorgeous, but that of the Church of Light was only plain .
She did not seem more capable than other Holy Ladies either .
It had been an embarrassment to the Church of Light for years . People mocked in private that they could not find a girl who was both pretty and capable when they had so many believers .
The plain-looking Holy Lady could’ve kept the position for another ten years, but she applied for retirement only three years later when she heard the rumors .
For the reputation of the Church of Light, she resigned voluntarily and became a bishop elsewhere .
Ever since then, the Holy Ladies who the Church of Light chose were also the pretty ones .
The young Holy Lady nodded at Roland and smiled at him politely .
Then, she looked at Schuck, her eyes glittering . “Mr . Saint Samurai, is this the friend you referred to?”
Schuck nodded . “Yes . He’s my best friend . ”
“Got it . ” The Holy Lady took out a thick book from the drawer and put it on the table . “In the next half-hour, I’ll be cleaning the bookshelves downstairs . You can suit yourselves . ”
After that, the Holy Lady stood up and left the room .
Roland walked over and opened the book . It was indeed the spell model .
Instead of reading it in a hurry, he turned the pages and took a picture of the magic nodes with the camera function of the system .
Schuck waited quietly .
After a dozen minutes, Roland finally finished capturing the whole book .
Roland was not entirely satisfied, but he did not ask Schuck if he could read more of the books .
What the Holy Lady said and her eventual departure suggested that Schuck was helping him with his power as a Saint Samurai, or the Holy Lady wouldn’t have shown Roland the spell model .
Roland was grateful for Schuck, but he kept his gratitude to himself instead of speaking out .
“Are you done?” asked Schuck .
Roland nodded and said, “I’ve captured all of it . I’ll learn and analyze it later . I’m going back to Delpon . ”
“You’re not spending a few days here?” asked Schuck .
Roland shook his head . “That’s unnecessary . I only want to learn this spell at this point . ”
Schuck sighed . “You’re more and more like a pure Mage now . ”
“Is it not good? That’s a synonym for rationality . ” Roland felt that he was in a good state .
He was full of curiosity, and he was much more active than before .
“I don’t know if it’s good . ” Schuck thought for a moment and said, “But everybody changes, quickly or slowly . Just follow your heart . ”
As they talked, they left the room and went downstairs .
Then, they saw that the Holy Lady was really cleaning the bookshelves . When she saw Schuck and Roland, she smiled at them in greeting .
Then, she resumed cleaning .
Schuck led Roland out of the grand library, but a red-haired girl in a white dress was glaring at them angrily below the stairs with her hands on her hips .
Schuck walked down and asked, finding it odd, “Margret, why are you here? Didn’t I ask you to stay home?”
“I thought you were here to chat with the Holy Lady . ” Margret looked at Roland and said, “It seems that you weren’t lying when you said that you would be receiving a friend . ”
Schuck was amused, and Roland somehow smelled jealousy .
Dragons were connected to their knights . They could feel each other even when they were thousands of kilometers apart .
So, when Schuck came to the grand library, Margret, who could tell where he was although she was at home, immediately set off to catch him .
Schuck approached her and petted her . The girl looked upset at first, but after Schuck stroked her head, she smiled happily again .
Then, Schuck led Roland out of the city .
On the empty meadow outside of the city, Roland said, “Okay, let’s say goodbye now . I’m going back . ”
“By teleportation?” asked Schuck .
“No . This is too far away from Delpon and I don’t have enough mana,” Roland said helplessly . “I need to fly half of the way before I teleport myself back . ”
“How long is it going to take?”
Roland ran an estimation and said, “No more than a day . ”
Schuck sighed, “That’s really fast . You’re even faster than Margret . ”
Margret, whose mood had been improved, was not happy to hear that . “I don’t believe it . You must be bragging . ”
Roland tilted his head and looked at Schuck .
Cleverness flashed in Schuck’s eyes . He found it quite interesting . “Do you want a race?”
“Why not?”
Margret shouted and jumped aside, glowing red . In less than ten seconds, she turned from a human girl into a red dragon .
Schuck jumped onto Margret’s back .
Roland sighed . Actually, he did not want to compete .
However, Schuck had already patted Margret’s back gently . Realizing his intention, Margret flapped her wings and ran a few steps, before she took off at a high speed and soon accelerated to the highest speed of a dragon .
I’m the fastest anyway .
While Margret was thinking that, a stranger suddenly appeared next to her . She focused her eyes, only to find that it was Roland .
Also, Roland’s speed was still increasing .
Margret, who was unwilling to give up, tried to flap her wings, but it didn’t help .
She could only watch Roland go faster and faster . Swallowed and ejected by the spatial bubbles, the man became a dark spot on the horizon in no more than three minutes .
Even his shadow was nowhere to be seen .
Margret slowed down and hovered in midair .
Her pitiful voice was passed to Schuck’s head through the mental connection of the dragon knight .
“That’s unfair . He’s not using a flight spell at all . ”
Schuck replied, laughing, “But he did fly away at an astonishing speed, didn’t he? Margret, as I’ve kept telling you, human beings are very strong in general, and they have a lot of geniuses . Don’t underestimate them, or you may suffer great setbacks one day . ”
After a long time, Margret’s gloomy voice finally sounded . “Okay . I won’t underestimate human beings anymore, all right?”
