Chapter 218: Chapter 48: The Divine Baptism_4
Seeing that Ah Dai’s matter had been successfully resolved, Xuan Yue took hold of the Pope’s arm and said, "Grandpa, Yue Yue has a request for you."
The Pope smiled slightly, saying, "You little elf, what kind of plans are you concocting against your grandpa now! Almost all of Grandpa’s precious treasures have been taken by you." Having received accurate news of the Savior, the Pope had felt a lot lighter in his heart, at least he would no longer need to search aimlessly everywhere.
Xuan Yue blushed slightly and said coyly, "Grandpa, when have I ever been as bad as you say, I just want to learn magic with you!"
The Pope chuckled, "When did our Yue Yue change her nature, this is unlike you."
Xuan Yue glanced at her mother, and Nasha gave her a slight smile, gesturing an encouraging look. "Grandpa, I really want to learn more about magic, after my time out experiencing the world, I realized how much difference there is between me and those experts, please teach Yue Yue some magic."
With satisfaction, the Pope nodded, he was very happy about Xuan Yue’s request to study magic, regardless of the reason, his only granddaughter was finally beginning to understand the importance of hard work. "Then why don’t you learn from your dad?"
Xuan Yue turned and looked at her father and made a face, saying, "Daddy’s magical level is lower than grandpa’s! If I’m going to learn, naturally I want to learn the best and most powerful magic. Grandpa, you’re the closest person to God on this continent, of course I want to learn from you."
Even the Pope was fond of being complimented, especially when it came from his own granddaughter. The Pope smiled slightly, saying, "Alright then, grandpa will accept you as my disciple. However, Yue Yue, the increase in your magic ability is not something that can be achieved in a day or two, it takes a lot of hard work, can you endure it? I won’t go easy on you just because you’re my granddaughter when teaching you magic, your father went through a lot of hardship when he was learning from me."
Thinking of how she could learn advanced magic and find Ah Dai to explore the land, Xuan Yue suddenly gained confidence and said, "Grandpa, don’t worry. I can hold on."
The Pope said, "Good, then from today on, I will teach you the true holy magic. Xuan Ye, Nasha, you both leave now. And remember what I have told you. Yue Yue will stay by my side, she’s finally determined to learn. I will surely guide her well."
Xuan Ye looked at his daughter worriedly, forcing a bitter smile, "Dad, please be gentle." Apparently, he had indeed suffered a lot when learning magic back then.
With a slight smile, the Pope’s voice resounded in Xuan Ye’s heart: "Don’t worry, over all these years, I have found a better method of training. Yue Yue won’t suffer as much as you did before. Go now." He made a firm decision to cultivate his granddaughter as a senior priest in the church as soon as he learned that Xuan Yue could potentially be one of the Saviors.
Xuan Ye and his wife bowed to the Pope and then left the Prayer Temple.
Xuan Yue spoke curiously, "Grandpa, are you going to teach me magic right here? How can I start? Do I need to start meditating?"
The Pope shook his head, his clear eyes gleaming with a different glint, he slowly said: "Since you might become one of the Saviors, grandpa is obliged to nurture you into a top magic user. Let’s go." As he spoke, he softly chanted two spells, and a golden six-pointed star suddenly appeared on the stone platform under his seat. With a flash of light, he and Xuan Yue disappeared into thin air.
Xuan Yue only felt a blank in front of her eyes, but in the blink of an eye, she regained her consciousness. However, everything around her had completely changed. She found herself and her grandpa in a vast huge stone chamber, over ten meters high and roughly 500 square meters in area. In the middle of the chamber, was a gigantic golden six-pointed star with a diameter around ten meters. Floating in the air above the center of the star was a golden object that looked like an angel, standing about half a meter tall, completely made of gold, and fluttering six snow-white wings on its back. Sacred auras continuously radiated from the golden angel, making people feel a mysterious sense of reverence.
"Grandpa, where, where is this?" Although Xuan Yue had been living in the church for over a decade, she had never heard of this place.
The Pope with one hand on his forehead and the other on his heart, paid his respects to the floating angel in the air. Seeing her grandpa’s solemn demeanor, Xuan Yue remained silent.
After murming the Prayer Charm under his breath, the Pope slowly straightened his body, and turned towards Xuan Yue, "Yue Yue, this is the most mysterious place in our church, the true Temple of Light. The one floating in the sky is the first Pope, Lord God Feather’s miracle left after he passed away. Back then, he had obtained God’s inheritance and gained such mighty power to save the continent. All Popes throughout the generations had to receive baptism here before their ascension."
Xuan Yue was taken aback, asking, "Grandpa, then what did you bring me here for?"
The Pope sighed slightly, "Ordinarily, not even your father, let alone you, would have the right to come here. But what you said earlier made me determined to bring you here. Because only here can you practice magic and quickly ascend to the God Realm. I hope that Prophet Pu Lin’s speculation is correct."
