Chapter 890 - 491: Director of the Magic Academy Admissions Office, Xue Dili (Part 2)

Therefore, basically all the young and middle-aged people have gone to cultivate the wasteland.

And here, many are children. Some of them, under the guidance of the Holy Profession, are learning the texts from the Holy Scripture, while others are honing their martial arts, aspiring to become new Holy Knights.

Even if they can’t become Holy Knights, at least they should become a knight’s squire.

In short, the Church Court a year later feels completely different from a year ago, when it was lifeless and besieged by the undead disaster.

If Xue Dili were to describe it, he could only say "vigorous vitality, everything competing to flourish"...

At least, under the rule of the Church Court, people have something to look forward to in their lives.

Although in Xue Dili’s view, the Church Court is also a decaying feudal force, there’s no way around it. The development of this world has only reached this level. According to Xue Dili, the level of civilization here isn’t even as advanced as Ancient Greece.

At least Ancient Greece had already started to develop mathematics, geometry, astronomy, and navigation.

No choice, in that tiny place of Ancient Greece, surrounded by the Aegean Sea, if those people didn’t learn some mathematics, astronomy, and navigation, they would have long become corpses under the Aegean Sea.

The so-called Ancient Greece was essentially a civilization around the Aegean Sea, mostly relying on boats for travel, and protein was gained from fishing and hunting, which instead gave them an earlier enlightenment in science.

Xue Dili couldn’t force the pace of development. In this civilization even less advanced than Ancient Greece, attempting capitalism or even more advanced policies was impossible. 99% of the people couldn’t even understand arithmetic within a hundred, and the most they learned were the characters from the Holy Scripture, with the most educated being the missionaries because they recognized a few hundred characters...

The level of civilization development here made Xue Dili show a sweating soybean face.

So, that’s probably why old Barak liked Earth so much, because he’d seen higher levels of knowledge, right?

So, in this barbaric civilization, perhaps the so-called Church Court was already a progressive force.

Xue Dili’s mind thought of many things in an instant.

He looked around and scratched his head.

Well, since I’m here, I might as well give a hand...

Xue Dili thought so, as this world lacked everything, even the most basic knowledge was scarce.

But it didn’t matter, Xue Dili had just opened a school, and it also lacked students. Previously, people at the Masked Ball had asked when he would go out to recruit, so they could shamelessly tease... I mean take care of those new students.

Xue Dili thought for a while, in fact, it’s not just about lacking students now, but even teachers...

Currently, the only people at the entire school who can properly serve as teachers are those from the demon race.

As for those who ventured into the cosmic void 4 billion years ago? Forget it; they themselves still don’t understand what magic power is; that era is just too distant.

We can talk about it later, but the student source matter can be considered in advance.

Xue Dili planned to inform the church, first, to tell them he was back. Although they might not recognize him, they had once been both enemies and allies for a few days, so there was some bond.

He planned to leave a teleportation gate leading to the consciousness space, giving the Church Court some student quotas annually.

A school must have students to be called a school.

As for the requirements, Xue Dili temporarily drafted them: under 18 years old, with magic power qualifications reaching a Tier Two hero would be sufficient.

After all, it’s a student recruitment, not a recruitment for Apostle assault, so the demands needn’t be too high.

That’s what Xue Dili thought.

And as he walked to the Church Court’s entrance, he discovered that there was actually a brand new statue standing there, which stunned Xue Dili a bit.

Because the statue seemed to be wearing a bone armor, with the face covered by a hood, making it impossible to see, but why did the posture of seemingly holding a Dragon Ascending Sword look so familiar?

Wait, is that me?

Xue Dili saw the text on the stone tablet, and suddenly his head was full of questions.

Your statue, a bit abstract... the most abstract part is that it even lacks a face...

"Lost traveler, are you also here to admire the statue of the Great Angel?" a young lady’s voice rang beside him.

Xue Dili turned his head and saw a child about fifteen or sixteen years old dressed in a pure black nun’s dress; she was directly beneath the statue, palms together, praying devoutly.

Xue Dili: "?"

The Great Angel, me?

Xue Dili felt that the world’s Church Court was really a bit insane, but it was fine as long as it didn’t affect him.

"Yes." Xue Dili responded offhandedly, preparing to go directly to see the Pope and mention the student recruitment plan.

"Traveler, please wait a moment, I would like to introduce you to the great achievements of our Great Angel Xue Dili, and it will surely grant you admiration for this Great Angel’s beautiful and heroic posture and his noble soul, making you concede that our Great Angel, his heroism is unparalleled." The young lady said directly to Xue Dili, showing a devout believer’s expression.

Xue Dili: "..."

Huh?

He was perplexed...

Xue Dili suspected that the last emperor who was beheaded in the Empire might have been himself; otherwise, he wouldn’t be feeling so baffled now.

"Wait, I’m busy, I’ll listen later." Xue Dili muttered, preparing to go directly to find the Pope. Alola had gone to Earth, so who was the current Pope? The Knight Commander, or someone else?

Xue Dili had somewhat forgotten the other people in the Church Court, not knowing since when he too gradually became forgetful, with many past experiences becoming fuzzy, only really remembering the identities of people he once knew, though they should recognize him.

Just as Xue Dili was about to take a step, the young lady seemed to get anxious, immediately blocking Xue Dili’s path, saying: "Traveler, you cannot just leave like this, give me a moment, I will tell you the heroic tales of the Great Angel..."

Xue Dili: "..."

Hiss, why does it seem like I’ve encountered a slightly insane little fangirl?

Furthermore, this little fangirl didn’t even know what he looked like, only because of that one thing he did?

Xue Dili was somewhat at a loss, so he didn’t get angry, just a bit of sweating soybean, planning to cast an illusion technique and then go directly to find the current Pope.

"Lost woman, you might not know that I am the current Church Court Saintess, who swears to dedicate my life to believe in and follow the Great Angel and embark on the same path as the Great Angel..."

She continued to babble on, as if today she would make Xue Dili convert, as if it was the kind of obsessed stranger who wouldn’t stop unless you believed, but she didn’t force; it was just that if you didn’t, you would be preached to like Tang Monk....

This person... seems a bit sick.

Even being the Saintess, potentially becoming the next Pope, Xue Dili felt like what he saw wasn’t a Saintess, but a hardcore fan leader, and an enthusiastically recruiting one at that.

"Wait, you are..." a sudden voice made Xue Dili, who was about to release an illusion technique, pause.

The newcomer was in a bishop’s robe, though she almost called out yet managed to cover her mouth.

Xue Dili turned his head, seeing it was a middle-aged nun, he immediately asked: "I want to see the Pope, can you lead me there?"

"Then please come with me, I will immediately lead you to the Pope." This middle-aged nun clearly recognized Xue Dili, though Xue Dili had no memory of her, and he asked, "You recognized me?"

"Yes, that day, I was also a member of the Church Court Crusade, and I even used Holy Light Healing on you." The middle-aged nun immediately displayed a devout expression, forcibly suppressing her agitation, and said, "Are you returning this time to resolve the sealed Witch Demon King?"

Xue Dili was stunned upon hearing this, only then realizing that the Church Court still believed the Witch Demon King was merely sealed and hadn’t truly died.

But actually, the Witch Demon King was merely one of the many avatars of the Eighth Apostle, and a very weak one at that. When the Eighth Apostle was devoured by the void, leaving no trace, that so-called Witch Demon King had long met its demise.

"The Witch Demon King is completely dead, but I indeed have something to do this time. I want to build a school, and you can send people to learn with us and develop yourselves." Xue Dili said straightforwardly.

Next, the middle-aged nun became even more unsettled, grabbing Xue Dili, saying: "Please follow me, I will lead you to see the Pope immediately! And thank you for everything you’ve done!"

Xue Dili: "..."

He always felt as though he’d become some sort of cult leader?

Well, if I’m a cult leader, then so be it.

And just as Xue Dili left with this nun, the Saintess standing before the statue seemed to experience a mental crash.

She had clearly heard the unhidden conversation between Xue Dili and the nun, suddenly her exceptional wisdom activated, instantly connecting the information, thus guessing Xue Dili’s identity.

"So, it was the Great Angel descending again! Wait, wait for me!"
