Chapter 50: The End of the Demon Beast Country

  "Are you now in Azeroth for training?" Griffitz had already guessed Francis' purpose.

  "Ah! For a trial, we need to find relatively dangerous places after all! After all, there's no place like this with so many Saint-level existences!" Francis said while pinching Dolores' small face. It was really too embarrassing just now, even if I told you that, you can't say it directly, ah!

  "It's great that you young people have ambition! One thing I must remind you, it's best not to randomly hunt and kill the sacred stage magical beasts here!" Griffitz reminded.

  "Oh! Why is that?" Francis was puzzled, he hadn't thought of capturing some magical beasts after all, since there were many magic cores in the ring already, it wasn't necessary to do so.

  "These are all part of some mysterious lands, the Monster Country is the monster's territory, legend has it that in the very center there exists a divine beast that even the main gods would fear!"

  "Divine Beast!" Francis was shocked, a Divine Beast wasn't just a divine-ranked magical beast, the term "divine" was only relative to ordinary humans. A Divine Beast was already an eternal and indestructible existence! Their power was immeasurable, even the Main God couldn't defeat them! "How could an existence of this level be in the Beast Country?"

  "There is a reason, they can't leave Monster Country, but this reason cannot be told to you!" Griffitz said mysteriously.

  "Huh?"

  "The Beast Country is just a place where beasts above the Divine level train their own kind, and this is also the significance of the existence of the Beast Country!"

  "Huh? Is this for real?" Francis felt a sense of incredulity, as if there was some earth-shattering secret behind all this.

  Griffith gazed at Francis with a thoughtful expression: "You've guessed it too! There's a reason for all of this! I can tell you clearly, this continent is not peaceful!"

  "Ah! Don't say any more! If you keep going, I'm sure there's some shocking secret that will come out! I'm really afraid of trouble, don't tell me so much!" Francis helplessly scratched his head. He just wanted to be a carefree person, it was better not to know about these things.

  "Haha! If that day really comes, you won't be able to escape! Ah, right, this is for you! Take it, if you're training here and a demon asks what your background is, show it to them and say you're from the Church. They'll give you some face at least, but don't stay too long, after all, this is demon territory." Griffitz pulled out a waist badge from his spatial ring, made of unknown material, on which Francis sensed a clear aura of light.

  "What's this?" Francis took the belt buckle and examined it. The buckle was only as big as a palm, with a cross engraved on the front and a character "zhí" (meaning "to grasp") on the back.

  "This is the waist card of the Vatican White Robe!" Philomena said with a smile, and also took out two low-level light system magic cores from her ring and handed them to Deloris.

  "Ah! What's this for? I didn't say I wanted to join the Order of Light!" Francis hastily returned the waist badge.

  "Haha! I told you that there are some things you can't avoid! Young man, with your abilities, why don't you make a contribution to the stability of the mainland!" Griffitz looked at Francis very seriously.

  Looking at Griffitz's serious expression, Francis was quite helpless. I'm not that enlightened!

  "Besides!" Griffitz suddenly said with a cunning smile: "Didn't you surrender just now? As my captive, I arrange for you to enter the church, which isn't excessive, is it?"

  "Do I have to join?"

  "Don't be so reluctant? Being a deacon is already a very high position! Philomena, as a candidate for saint, also has the title of deacon! Many people have risked their lives just to get this waist badge. In the church's stronghold, with this waist badge, you can also call upon some of the church's manpower and resources!"

  "Is that so! What am I supposed to do then?" Francis was more practical, this belt had its benefits, but one had to pay a price for it! There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world!

  "Hehe! The church has some tasks, so it's time to trouble you deacons!"

  As expected! Francis scratched his head in frustration: "I'm about to go study at the Kaisar Empire's Magic Academy! I guess I won't have time to help you with your quest!"

  "Going to school?"

  "Yes! After all, I'm a light system mage! My previous dream was to become an excellent magician!" As he said this, Francis suddenly remembered his old butler, and he had promised him that he would become an excellent mage.

  "Is that so! No worries, the church also has a base in Caeser's capital! And with your abilities, it won't take long for you to graduate from the Magic Academy either! Remember to come find me when the time comes! My young attendant! Haha!" Grifitz laughed heartily.

  "Haha! What's with putting so much wine in the ring?" Taylor picked up his cup and drank it directly.

  "Hmph! My drinking capacity is also among the top in the dragon tribe! If it's a little less, how can I get drunk!" Alede raised his head, with a lonely and defeated look.

  "Really? I'm also very confident in my drinking capacity, come on, let's compete!"

  "Haha! Don't blame me when you vomit later!"

  "It should be you who falls down!"

  “……”

  ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

  "Ow! My head hurts!" Francis sat up in bed, looking around dazedly. "What's going on? Why does my head hurt so much? This feeling... I didn't drink too much, did I?"

  Three steps and a swing, Francis walked out the door, just in time to see Aeolus punching the air: "Aeolus! Where are those Vatican people?"

  "Master! You're finally awake!" Eryndor Thorne exclaimed: "They left yesterday!"

  "Yesterday? Weren't we still drinking together last night?" Francis shook his head, feeling dizzy!

  "Hey! Young master, you've been asleep for two days already!"

  "What? Two days?" Francis was taken aback "How could you sleep for so long!"

  "It's unclear! That night after you were knocked down by Miss Saber..."

  "Leah!!!?" Francis was shocked, what did Leah have to do with this?

  "Yes! At that time, the dragon knight challenged Saber-san, but was defeated by Saber-san! And then there was that dragon too, which also got put down! The people from the church felt very humiliated, one after another went up, but still ended in complete defeat! In the end, even Young Master went up, and... Hehehe! Saber-san is truly amazing! She took care of so many people without even getting a red face!" Eriolus sighed in admiration at Saber's capacity for liquor.

  "......" Francis scratched his head, what a loss of face, so many big men all fell down! "Then I slept until now?"

  "Hmm! The Pope took a look at Young Master and said that you've overused your spiritual energy, just take a rest and you'll be fine!"

  "Have you overused your spiritual power?" Francis thought for a moment, that day in order to control his own strength, the spiritual power was indeed used a bit excessively!

  "Right! That Pope of Light wants us to remind you not to forget what you promised him!"

  "You promised him that once you graduated, you would go to the church to find him!"

  "What was I saying! How could I forget!" Francis shook his head, still feeling a bit dizzy and unable to recall.

  "You seemed drunk at the time!"

  "...... He also took the wine talk seriously! You guys too, I drank a lot and didn't even pull back!" Francis was very helpless, it's better to drink less of this stuff!

  "Ah! At that time we also said your words were just drunken talk, but how could you... Hehe!" Aiolos gave Francis face and didn't continue.

  "Alright, alright! Don't mention it anymore! It's already embarrassing enough!" Francis patted his forehead, luckily everyone was knocked out by Saber that night, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing. But Saber can really drink, huh?

  "If Master is looking for Miss DeLoris, she has already gone out with Saber and Garry!"

  "Hmm! Nothing much, I still feel a bit dizzy, going for a walk at Shui Tang!"

  ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

  Six months later!!

  "What a petty bunch of monsters! Can't even handle a little sparring? Saying I'm too heavy-handed, or else they'll kick me out! I didn't even use my Corpse Energy, can that be considered heavy-handed?" Dis raised his middle finger at the forest behind him with great disdain.

  "It's always you, every time picking a fight with someone! Who wouldn't get angry?! I had planned for six months, but because of you, we were kicked out a month early! If it weren't for the Pope's waist plate, we probably couldn't have even stayed five months!" Francis was at his wit's end, this Dis guy is getting worse and worse.

  "It's obviously Aeolus, this kid's moves always make those magical beasts cry out in anguish! Can't you just not use your ultimate move for once, Aeolus?" Dais hurriedly shifted Francis' resentment.

  "Dee! I didn't use my ultimate move! You're mistaken, aren't you?!" Eioulos was very wronged, Dee was absolutely framing him.

  "If you say you have it, then you have it! Listen to me, and there won't be any mistakes!" Dice kept his signature sly smile.

  “……”

  "Whatever! It's not like it's been a month or anything!" Francis ran his hand through his hair, which had grown down to his waist. Six months ago, he had cut it short while bathing, thinking that was the reason for his recent clumsiness. However, when Dorothea saw him, she burst into tears, and Francis could only grow his hair out again in resignation!

  "Dis, where are we now?" Francis looked around at the surrounding forest, this is no longer the Beast Country!

  "We've already left the Beast Kingdom! This is Caesar's territory, but it's still some distance from the big city! Walking forward for two days will be a town! We should now be directly west of the Imperial Capital!" Diess flipped out the map and took a look, and indeed there was a town not far away on the map.
