Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy

Chapter 641: Chapter 630: Trade and Judgment_2 Chapter 641: Chapter 630: Trade and Judgment_2 Thus, he finally had the qualifications to exchange for the things he desired.

In fact, he consulted on two issues: one was the promotion of the Legendary Star Venerable, and the other was information regarding the condensation of the Throne.

Answers to both questions were obtained from the Seal Palace; the former was Cambard’s own cultivation insights, and the latter was information summarized by the Seal Palace based on multiple Throne strongholds.

The knowledge he obtained from the Seal Palace could naturally not be transferred to others due to strict contractual constraints.

The knowledge the Seal Palace obtained from him, on the other hand, was quite the opposite. Once a suitable client was found, the Seal Palace could earn continuous profits, even using knowledge as bait to let people voluntarily join the guild’s ranks.

“Though the Seal Palace is not bad, being free is even more precious. In the short term, joining the Seal Palace is highly beneficial for the condensation of the Throne, but beyond that, it’s uncertain.”

After the transaction concluded, Ivan also received an invitation from the Seal Palace, inviting him to join the guild, but he refused on the spot.

Apparently, the guild was not disheartened. They immediately elevated his status to ‘Golden Sun Honored Guest’ and granted him a Golden Sun Seal Order.

With this Golden Sun Seal Order, he could sense the existence of the Seal Palace within a certain range. If the distance was too far, it was beyond his capability.

“Why think too much? The Star Realm River is so vast; who knows when I’ll encounter the Seal Palace again.”

“With Mr. Cambard’s guidance, the path to becoming a Legendary Star Venerable is smoother. Strive to take this crucial step as soon as possible.”

A moment later, Ivan calmed his mind and focused on the Path of Knight Cultivation. He had a strong premonition that the day he became a Legendary Star Venerable was not far off.

After the Black Star exited the Seal Palace’s range, it adjusted its direction and continued towards the Song Praise Plane, maintaining its usual swiftness.

…

Song Praise Plane.

Fertile Plain, this most lush land has always been controlled by human kingdoms, and above the human kingdoms is the human church.

People here worship many deities, among which the Father of Holy Light is the most revered.

The church dedicated to serving the Father of Holy Light is named the ‘Holy Light Church’. The Holy Light Church is also the most powerful force on the Fertile Continent, without exception.

Under the Holy Light Church, there exist four major military institutions, widely known, including the Holy Guardians, the Ascetic Elders, and the Heresy Court, especially the latter, which is so well-known that it is said to stop children from crying at night.

“Halt!”

“Stop right there. This is Mountain City. Without Viscount Donner’s written order, no one is allowed to enter the city at night. Step back quickly.”

On this night, a team wearing black light armor approached Mountain City aggressively and was immediately scolded by the guards on the walls.

“Hold on!”

The captain of the guard came out for a look and immediately broke out in a cold sweat when he saw several masked men with sinister expressions in the team below and hurriedly issued a command to stop.

“What’s wrong, Captain, is there something amiss?”

“You better shut that mouth of yours. These are the gentlemen from the Holy Light Church.”

The guard who spoke earlier did not think his actions were inappropriate, and as a result, he was rebuked by the captain. He heard someone hiss in his ear, telling him the visitors’ identity – Heresy Court.

Hearing these words, the guard’s legs went weak, and he almost fell headfirst.

“Ahem, greetings, sirs. May I ask what brings you here? Is there anything we can assist with?” The captain of the guard cautiously inquired.

He was answered by a dazzling light.

The powerful attack landed directly on the fortress, and in just one round, the guards standing there questioning were decapitated, leaving no remains.

“Kino, your methods are too violent for the plane.”

Among the team below, there was another person who appeared different from the others. This man wore coarse linen garments and was actually an ascetic monk from the church.

Just after he finished speaking, another dazzling attack fell on the city gate, which exploded with a roar.

“What? Elder Gulas, what did you just say?”

“Nothing, quickly enter the city and eliminate those evil figures who desecrate the Holy Light; otherwise, I will find it hard to be at ease.”

“Elder Gulas, please rest assured. With our court taking action, we guarantee that not a single sinner will escape. Moreover, those bloodlines tainted with sin will all be eradicated.”

As they spoke, the team swept through the city like a streak of black starlight.

In the human kingdom, Mountain City was actually known as a place of disorder. At this moment, as the court’s team arrived, it fell silent.

Only after the team passed did people dare to make a sound.

“They are heading to Viscount Donner’s castle.”

“Now the Donner family is in trouble. Previously, Viscount Donner actually foolishly thought of restoring order to Mountain City. Who knows where he got the confidence from? Now it seems he might have borrowed the power of an Evil God.”

“After tonight, there might be no more Donner family. Heh heh.”

Seeing this scene, some people took pleasure in others’ misfortune, while others were worried.

Some wanted to escape under the cover of night but were stopped by acquaintances, who advised them that such actions, once defined as fleeing, would lead to endless pursuit by the court.

Terrified, the person quickly retreated to their own dwelling.

On another side, fierce sounds quickly erupted in the ancient castle within the city.

“I am Fenny Donner, Viscount of the Kingdom. May I ask what brings you here?”

“By the decree of the supreme Father of Holy Light, we have come to purge the evil heretics who desecrate the Holy Light. Sinner Fenny Donner, prepare to meet your end!”

“Honorable sirs, there must be some misunderstanding—bastards, how unreasonable your Holy Light Church is!”

“Boom boom boom.”

The conflict erupted directly. Led by Great Judge Kino and Elder Gulas, the Heresy Court’s team launched a surprise attack into the sturdy castle.

Viscount Donner had no choice but to use all his trump cards, thereby exposing his alien power and proving his heretic identity.

Ultimately, his strength was no match for theirs. Before long, under the siege of Kino and Gulas, Viscount Donner met his demise with deep regret.

“Leave this place to you to handle. I will go judge the heretical evil power.”

“Elder Gulas, please feel free.”

The two split up. Gulas had come well-prepared and quickly found a statue of an Evil God in a secret hall.

Seeing this statue, Gulas remained extraordinarily calm. An unusually pure and intense Holy Light emerged from him, illuminating the vast dark hall.

The sacred light enveloped the area, in stark contrast to the screams elsewhere.

“Impudent!”

“So it is indeed a heretical evil. Holy Light Judgment!”

The deity represented by the statue would not sit idly by and erupted in fierce dark light, while the Holy Light emitted from Gulas grew more magnificent, several times more than before, instantly condensing into a Holy Light Sword.

The magnificent Holy Light Sword slashed directly toward the divine statue.

“Despicable Holy Light thief, just wait. When I return, I will destroy everything of yours.”

Under the judgment of the Holy Light Sword, the heretic was ultimately eradicated. The final roar reverberated throughout the entire secret hall.

Gulas was utterly exhausted, sitting on the ground, panting heavily.

That night, the ground of the ancient castle seemed soaked with blood, and in other parts of the city, several families connected to the Viscount were also wiped out.

The surviving people then learned that Viscount Donner had been tempted by an alien Evil God and had already gone astray, prompting the church to dispatch people to correct the chaos and cleanse the sinful blood.

Not long after, a bishop of the Holy Light Church arrived, calling on the residents of Mountain City to build a church, and everyone responded.

After some time, a magnificent Holy Light Church replaced the former Viscount’s castle, standing prominently within the city.

The heresy trial finally came to an end, and as time passed, Mountain City gradually returned to its original order.

Neither Elder Gulas nor Great Judge Kino knew that their target for extermination was, in fact, flourishing in the faraway Beastman kingdom, where the Black Star Knight Order was thriving.
