“Hero, I am no pushover.”
But the Second Company Commander’s Helmet was knocked flying.
He spat out fresh blood, and his jaw was knocked crooked, but this seemed to release some kind of limit on him instead, making his Sword Technique even more fierce.
The Holy Knight Second Company Commander switched to a Swordsmanship specifically for hunting Demonic Beasts, no longer using the anti-human style he started with.
The difference between the two was obvious.
The former was forceful and heavy, while the latter focused on being swift and fast.
After all, without enough strength, how could one pierce through the Thick Hide of a Demonic Beast?
The Second Company Commander leapt up suddenly for a jumping strike, gripping his Sword with both hands to slash down at Blackie.
“Clang!” A loud sound rang out.
The Black Dragon also showed her sincerity, crossing her arms to block the strike.
Even so, everyone was dumbfounded.
Would any sane person use their arms to block such a Sword strike? Usually, one would dodge, right?
The most terrifying thing was that she actually could block it.
The Second Company Commander’s jumping strike hit the Black Dragon’s arms, and she only retreated a few steps.
“…”
The Second Company Commander was also stunned, feeling as if his Sword had struck solid rock.
But even a rock would have cracked under his strike.
Yet, the Black Dragon simply shook her hands, looking as if it were no big deal, not feeling even a hint of pain.
Is our Hero even human? She is simply a monster!
“That strike had a bit of a kick to it.” The Black Dragon rubbed her hands together, her fighting spirit surging.
“Little Black, come back.” White Feather Dove called out to her.
“Oh.” Upon hearing this, Heiqi Long intentionally retracted her aura instantly and took a backstep to return.
“Second Company Commander, let’s consider this a draw,” White Feather Dove said.
“Children, your strength is startling. Heroes come from young maidens. Welcome to the Second Company.”
The Second Company Commander knew she was giving him a way out.
With so many people watching, continuing the fight would certainly not look good, so he could only let it go.
Moreover, he wanted to quickly pull them into the Second Company.
Having such powerful young people join our company brings great prestige.
Who would dare to offend our Second Company in the future?
The Knight Apprentices who had just been knocked to the ground also scrambled up, surrounding Heiqi Long and White Feather Dove to applaud.
One look and it was clear they were won over.
These people were all Noble genius boys and girls, full of pride, but in the face of the powerful Heiqi Long and White Feather Dove, they had no choice but to be impressed.
These two could have flattened the entire Holy Knight Second Company, and even the Second Company Commander had no way to deal with them.
Furthermore, they gave him face by not continuing the commotion, choosing to stop at the right moment. They were truly both wise and courageous.
However, a small Holy Knight company could not hold these two great figures.
After finishing their reporting, the two slipped away and went to visit the Saint Lisha Academy.
But this was not in the plan. It was the mischievous Blackie who ran off on her own, and Baicheng could only follow.
This was getting interesting…
White Feather Dove did not stop Heiqi Long.
Her Younger Sister actually chose to walk around instead of sleeping in?
When things are unusual, there must be a catch; she must have discovered something.
The two finally stopped in front of a giant stone door.
Inside this Saint Lisha Academy, there was actually a giant double high wall, with a mysterious area hidden inside.
Without playing any tricks, White Feather Dove could sense waves of Magic fluctuations coming from within.
This mysterious area was likely the Magic Department that the Purple Bishop had mentioned before.
The Holy Church had founded many knight academies and priest academies, but there was only one Magician academy on the entire Continent: the Continental Magic Academy, which was jointly established by Magic families.
However, that mysterious academy would only teach Magic to family Magicians. Rogue Magicians who awakened naturally had no way to access profound Magic.
In a sense, the priest profession was also a type of Magic manipulator.
The Holy Church also possessed a significant amount of knowledge regarding the use of Magic.
Now, they were breaking the monopoly of the Magic families to cultivate their own Magician forces.
This behavior would certainly attract the resentment of the Magic families, which was why this Saint Lisha Academy was kept so mysterious and hidden within a No Man’s Land.
The Holy Knight barracks on the outskirts were merely a disguise.
The true goal of Saint Lisha Academy was to secretly train Church Magicians.
“Little Black, what do you feel? Is it the Holy Sword?” White Feather Dove asked.
“I smell something delicious. After that exercise, I’m a bit hungry,” the Black Dragon replied.
“……” White Feather Dove was speechless.
The two observed the Magic Department for a while and then left to go home.
They returned to the small church to meet up with Qingshamu, and White Feather Dove reported the events of the day.
As for Qingshamu, she spent every day wearing a nun’s robe, pretending to be a nun.
She stayed beside the coffin containing Feini, locking herself in a secret Room for Meditation and cultivation.
She was like a dog guarding its food, unwilling to leave the bone in its dish.
After all, a quiet Feini was a good Feini. An awake Feini might not be a good Feini; she might be a foul-mouthed Feini.
White Feather Dove also felt that her Evil Father was becoming more and more perverted, almost becoming demonic.
Instead of properly searching for the Holy Sword, she stayed in the Church every day acting as a fake Saintly Official.
Feini was like a goddess statue to Qingshamu, who guarded her with sincerity.
“The Holy Sword doesn’t seem to be within the Knight Order, so it must be inside the Magic Department,” Qingshamu analyzed.
“Is there any way to sneak in?” White Feather Dove asked.
“……” Qingshamu thought for a moment, her eyes looking at her daughter with a subtle expression.
“I get what you mean.” White Feather Dove immediately knew what the Evil Father was thinking. She definitely wanted her to go in as an Undercover.
“It can’t be helped, child. I must stay by Feini’s side. This Mission can only be given to you. I trust you; with your intelligence, you will surely pass,” Qingshamu said solemnly.
Soon, Qingshamu notified Ou Tuo Bishop.
The Purple Bishop brought several old priests and hurried to the small church to greet Qingshamu.
They were all smiles. It seemed they had learned that Heiqi Long had swept through the Holy Knight Second Company.
The New Hero they had brought back actually possessed such strength; they had achieved a great merit.
“Miss Shamu, may I ask what the matter is?” Ou Tuo Bishop inquired.
“Don’t you think this apprentice of mine is special? Even though she is not the Hero.” Qingshamu acted mysterious, keeping them in suspense.
At this moment, Ou Tuo Bishop and the other high-ranking Saintly Officials formally appraised White Feather Dove, their expressions gradually becoming strange.
It was one thing not to mention it, but once said, it was a shock.
This young girl looked seventy percent similar to Qingshamu.
The more they looked, the more she had the demeanor of a Hero, but the Prophecy stated it was not her.
“Actually, she is a Magician, just like me. I want her to enter your Magic Department for further studies,” Qingshamu said.
“She is a Magician?” Ou Tuo Bishop was greatly surprised.
“The real deal.” Qingshamu waved her hand.
Beside her, White Feather Dove immediately showed her skill, casually condensing a few Mana Flying Swords for them to see.
