Chapter Nine: I will not let go
Reinhardt lowered his head in immense gratitude: "Professor Hal, truly ... ... "
Merlin's words echoed once again in Reinhardt's mind: "Reinhardt, your talent surpasses that of all others, therefore, you are more noble than anyone else! You are the superior being, and all inferiors should tremble at your feet! You should not be defeated! Even if you fail due to your age and your strength not being sufficient, you must seek revenge! A superior being must never tolerate failure!" Such teachings have accompanied Reinhardt for six years! The strong sense of hierarchy and honor has already been ingrained in his very bones!
Smiling with satisfaction, a figure in a red robe proclaimed loudly: "However, no matter what, the appearance of the blood clan's grand duke near the nest of our most elite genius trainees is a bad omen, very bad. It seems that the dark forces are about to make a move again, and we must be extremely cautious in our preparations, very cautious! Over two hundred years ago, during the Great Cataclysm, dark forces shrouded the entire Earth, and human civilization was nearly destroyed. We can no longer tolerate such events occurring again!" It seems that the dark forces are about to make a move again, and we must be extremely cautious in our preparations, very cautious! Over two hundred years ago, during the Great Cataclysm, dark forces shrouded the entire Earth, and human civilization was nearly destroyed. We can no longer tolerate such events occurring again!
What should I know? Alin's expression was as calm as water, gentle yet tinged with a hint of coldness, as if casually inquiring of Reinhardt.
Another Red Robed Sanctuary immediately interjected: "Therefore, the Divine Court has mobilized all its forces! The defenses of the Divine Nest must be strengthened. Starting today, a Red Robed Sanctuary will lead..." After glancing at Reinhardt and An, the Red Robed Sanctuary continued: "Leading twenty adjudicators from the Arbitration Office, fifty guards from the Dark Hall, and ten Light Dragon Knights from the Radiant Legion to secure this place."
After Haer bowed, he, along with Durant and Kafein, walked out simultaneously. Haer and the others felt a strange sensation; they sensed that Reinhardt could not possibly be an ordinary person. Of course, Reinhardt was no longer an ordinary individual, but what Haer and the others referred to as extraordinary must far exceed the imagination of an average person.
Alin's body trembled violently, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her face. "Then, Reinhardt, I have even less reason to let go of your hand. No matter what the situation was back then, I will not let go... You finally said something meaningful."
Golden light emanated from his body, and Alin resolutely intended to close the door.
An waved his arm and grinned maliciously: "Enemies? The stronger the enemy, the better. I will tear them apart! How dare they injure Reinhardt? Don't they know that Reinhardt is my brother? How dare they harm him? I will shatter their bones and turn those bloodsucking filthy bats into garbage in the sewers!"
Is it the most powerful place of dark forces? Reinhardt looked out at the mountains, and a cold smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth: It should be London in England, then that's just perfect
Alin widened her eyes in surprise: "Oh? Are you asking me to watch you fall and turn into a meat paste?" Her beautiful face was filled with disbelief
Reinhardt had already heard of these terms and was not surprised. However, An was exclaiming in astonishment: "What? What is the Dark Hall? Light Dragon Knight? Isn't the most powerful of the Light Flame Legion the Light Bear Knight? What is the Light Dragon Knight?"
However, I still do not understand. Reinhardt, do you not know that if something is not clearly explained, it is very difficult for others to understand it
Uh... this, naturally, is that, that, ha, I think you should know.
A red-robed member of the Holy Hall waved his hand to silence An's outcry and said: "As for the qualified candidates in the Divine Nest, they will undergo six months of profound training, learning the most powerful skills of the Divine Court. After that, they will be assigned to various departments of the Divine Court, where they will cultivate and accumulate experience, striving to play the most significant role in the potential upcoming war! Reinhardt, you are one of the most favored candidates by the senior management of the Divine Court. This time, you were fortunate to escape the clutches of Sklarity, but next time, you may not be so lucky. You must work even harder!"
The sound of footsteps echoed as three red-robed cardinals, with expressionless faces, hurried past accompanied by a large group of high-ranking clergy. One of the red-robed cardinals could be faintly heard exclaiming: "Indeed, truly a genius with exceptionally high intelligence; even in matters of courtship, they behave just like a fool!"
However, in reality, Reinhardt, I really do not know what you want me to understand! If there is nothing else, I would like to take a break. You should know that we will undergo six months of profound training and then leave the Divine Nest to officially become clergy, right? Reinhardt, I do not want to waste time on your nonsensical questions any longer. " Alin was about to close the door.
At the door of Alin's room, Reinhardt carefully adjusted his attire and gently knocked on the door. "Alin, are you there? Are you alright?"
I suppose it should be like this! Truly, it is no wonder that you are the most outstanding genius of the divine court in the past century, to express your affection to a young girl in such a earth-shattering manner!
In the center of Reinhardt's bedroom stood three red-robed cardinal priests, six white-robed cardinal priests, twelve black-robed cardinal priests, and more than twenty individuals whose identities Reinhardt could not discern. However, it was evident that they were accustomed to giving orders, exuding an overwhelming aura of authority. Such a lineup had not even been seen when several students from the Divine Nest were killed by wild beasts in the wilderness last time
The red-robed cathedral, speaking with a smile, gently raised its right hand and pressed it on Reinhardt's head. A torrent of energy, as hot as a hot spring, surged into his body, cleansing every corner of it. Reinhardt's somewhat sore and soft body immediately became vigorous, and even the divine power within him was significantly enhanced. Reinhardt quickly expressed his gratitude to the red-robed cathedral, marveling inwardly: "Truly one of the most powerful red-robed bishops in the divine court, even a casual gesture possesses such formidable strength."
Reinhardt trembled all over as he watched the group pass by. Suddenly, he turned around and saw a large number of students from the Divine Nest, aged between five or six and thirteen or fourteen, peering curiously nearby
Indeed, Reinhardt, if such a thing happens again, I will not catch you anymore... You are too heavy, or... you should eat a little less.
Suddenly shivering, An rolled her eyes and took a few steps back. Reinhardt looked in the direction from which the sound came, and was taken aback, quickly jumping off the bed and respectfully bowing in that direction: "Esteemed lords, Reinhardt is incompetent and has brought shame upon the glory of the divine court"
Reinhardt immediately became stammering, and he cautiously said: "Oh, it's all right. With the three red-robed archbishops acting together, is there any evil force that cannot be dispelled? But Alin, I heard that you, you are also injured? Hmm, you... you were foolish enough to grab hold of me? You know, with my size being so large and your strength being so small, it is simply impossible for you to hold me!"
A commanding voice resounded: "Silence, silence! Reinhardt's opponent is the Grand Duke of the Blood Clan! Such a defeat does not signify anything!"
In a moment of speechlessness, Reinhardt suddenly realized that his exceptionally high intelligence seemed to be of no use in front of Alin. It was indeed difficult to articulate this; he couldn't just say, "That's right, you should just watch me fall to my death, right?" Frustrated, he scratched his head and suddenly recalled Socrates' words. His eyes lit up as he hurriedly said: "Alin, you should know this, you should know the things you ought to know. In fact, I would rather die myself than see you in danger"
"Alright, Alin, do not evade my question. Whether you will catch me next time is a matter for the future, but what I want to ask is, why are you not letting go this time?"
Hal nodded and encouraged, "Indeed, if it were not for the recent vampire incident, you would have qualified to leave the Divine Nest long ago! However, Reinhardt, you must be prepared. I have heard that due to your special qualifications, you will be assigned a special task. Perhaps, instead of entering the headquarters of the Divine Court, you will be sent to the most dangerous places on Earth, where the dark forces are most powerful, to undergo training. Well, you must be very careful."
With a swift motion, Reinhardt pressed against the door, a bitter smile on his face as he helplessly said: "Oh God, I beg you, Alin is not a fool, why doesn't she understand? But, oh heavens, all the gods..."
What? Upon hearing that A and - Tu - Shu Lin were injured, Reinhardt, who had been remarkably calm while contemplating future plans, immediately turned pale and rushed out with a "whoosh".
The high-ranking clergy present nodded in acknowledgment and, under the leadership of three Cardinals in red robes, quickly walked out. It was not until these high-ranking officials had moved far away that Hal, who had been standing in the corner, let out a deep breath and murmured to himself: "This time you were truly fortunate, Reinhardt! You were tainted by the evil magic of the blood clan; although you did not die, your power has been nearly destroyed! Fortunately, two Cardinals in red robes were handling affairs in Europe, and with the new leader of the Divine Nest sent by the headquarters, the three Cardinals worked together to restore you in the shortest time possible."
Suddenly awakening from deep darkness, the first thing Reinhardt saw was Anna's rugged face. Upon noticing that Reinhardt had opened his eyes, Anna lunged at him, shouting with fervor: "Reinhardt, you useless thing, this is utterly embarrassing! You actually got knocked unconscious and fell off a cliff! My God, if it weren't for Alin desperately holding onto you and managing to grab a vine, both of you would have fallen to your deaths!"
An stood there, scratching his head vigorously, and said in confusion: "Alin is indeed injured, but it's not a serious injury. He just exhausted too much energy trying to catch you, and his hands got quite a few scrapes. He'll recover after a few days of rest. Why are you in such a hurry?" Suddenly, An became excited again: "Ah, the so-called secret training, I wonder what it will teach us? Hmm, it should be much better than what we learn here, right? Hahaha, with these powerful skills, when I return to the town, heh..."
However, Alin, in fact, what I want you to know has already been said by someone else, you should be aware of it
Reinhardt said urgently: "But Alin, you shouldn't have grabbed me back then!"
Hal directly ignored An's vow. He turned to Reinhardt and advised, "Since all the esteemed members of the Scarlet Sanctuary have stated that you need to undergo six months of profound training, you must cherish this opportunity... Perhaps, you will learn some extremely powerful skills, which cannot be acquired by the senior clerics of the Divine Court. Even graduates from the Divine Nest must undergo long-term evaluation by the Divine Court and establish merits before they may learn those profound skills... Perhaps, you will learn some extremely powerful skills, which cannot be acquired by the senior clerics of the Divine Court. Even graduates from the Divine Nest must undergo long-term evaluation by the Divine Court and establish merits before they may learn those profound skills! Reinhardt, make sure to seize this opportunity well!"
Reinhardt and An's faces were filled with shock as they stared blankly at the Cardinal in red. However, the other bishops remained expressionless, seemingly in agreement with the words of the Cardinal. Glancing at each other, Reinhardt and the others felt their hearts suddenly convulse a few times.
Indeed, I, Reinhardt, am the most outstanding of the divine court. How could I be defeated by those despicable blood clans? Skarlati, wait for me, m.hetushu.com. You must wait for me. Standing quietly there, Reinhardt's slender body resembled a long sword, emanating a trace of sharp chill.
The expressions of the high-ranking officials present in the divine court suddenly turned grim, especially those of the ten middle-aged men dressed in tight-fitting attire, who glared fiercely at An. Each utterance of "What is this? What kind of thing is this?" could provoke even a true deity to anger, let alone these lofty individuals who wield significant power.
Reinhardt, do you think such questions are meaningful? What exactly do you want to ask? Over the past year, you have become like a fool, rambling on like An, yet you have not uttered even a single meaningful word! A strong chill emanated from Alin: "Please... do... not... waste... my... time. If you cannot even say one meaningful sentence."
One cannot speak like this; it is forgivable for young people to lack experience. However, I truly admire the courage of the youth. That shout just now could at least be heard by half of the people in the divine nest, right
Especially the Cardinal of the Scarlet Chapel, the entire divine court possesses only twenty-three Scarlet Cardinals, which illustrates the weight of their power! When such individuals appear, there are three of them, leaving Reinhardt no choice but to bow in trepidation, and even the usually arrogant An has become quite submissive.
After hesitating for a moment, Reinhardt originally wanted to say that he had actually learned powerful skills from Harlox and Elvick, but his divine power was insufficient to unleash the full potential of these skills. However, thinking of Merlin's warning that these matters were absolute secrets, he ultimately refrained from speaking. Reinhardt simply bowed to Hal and respectfully said, "Yes, Mentor Hal, I understand... Therefore, after six months of studying the profound mysteries, I apply for the trial. I believe by that time, I should be qualified to leave the Divine Nest."
With a heavy cough, An placed a hand on Reinhardt's shoulder. He said excitedly, "Reinhardt, you are really lucky! You were just beaten up, and yet three Red Robed Saints came rushing over. God, why don't I have such good luck? I used to be beaten up by those Radiant Knights every day, and no one ever came to comfort me... Well, Alin is also injured, aren't you going to check on him?"
Quietly watching Reinhardt, Alin took a long time before saying: "But in fact, it was I who caught you. However, Reinhardt, you are truly heavy; I almost couldn't hold onto that vine. Fortunately, An and the others sensed the abnormal energy fluctuations and rushed over as soon as possible; otherwise..."
The Red Robed Saint nodded slowly and said in a dignified voice: "Reinhardt, it is not that you are incapable, but that the enemy is too powerful! Sklarity is a well-known figure among the blood clan on Earth, the most capable general under the Demon King Skye, one of the seven great demon kings of the blood clan. " His expression suddenly became extremely strange, as if he had unconsciously let something slip: "If I had not suppressed my own power, I fear I would only be able to match him evenly." Sklarity is a well-known figure among the blood clan on Earth, the most capable general under the Demon King Skye, one of the seven great demon kings of the blood clan. " His expression suddenly became extremely strange, as if he had unconsciously let something slip: "If I had not suppressed my own power, I fear I would only be able to match him evenly."
A slight bow of acknowledgment, yet a deep sense of humiliation surged within. "Socrates? Next time, I will kill you." Under the education of the divine court, the immensely proud Reinhardt could not tolerate his humiliating defeat at the hands of a despicable dark creature. Only with Socrates' blood could Reinhardt cleanse his humiliation.
Ah! A scream that seemed to be from a ghost echoed, as Reinhardt transformed into a thick bolt of lightning, rapidly fleeing along the electrical wires in the channel. A series of loud explosions followed, as all the electrical appliances along the way exploded due to the rapidly increasing current
The door opened silently, and Alin, who appeared somewhat haggard, stood quietly at the entrance, frowning as he looked at Reinhardt. "You should still be recuperating; how did you manage to come out? The bishops said you were afflicted by a very malevolent spell, and the power within you was nearly completely eroded. Are you really alright?"
Hehe, hehe, Reinhardt chuckled foolishly, just staring blankly as the door gently closed in front of him
Reinhardt, An, and Hal, who was standing in the corner, all bowed simultaneously and respectfully said: "Indeed, no matter how powerful the forces of evil may be, they cannot rival the power of the divine"
After a long silence, Reinhardt finally asked in a low voice: "So, why didn't you let go on the cliff? Alin, I can only imagine how dangerous it was at that moment! If it were An who had grabbed me, he would have pulled me up like a gorilla. But you, Alin, your strength couldn't even lift one of my legs!"
Children, do not worry. Although the forces of evil are powerful, the will of God is even more irresistible. Another red-robed saint smiled and said: "As you can see, those evil beings only dare to hide in the darkness and do not dare to directly challenge the majesty of God. Therefore, you must have faith in God and firmly believe in Him. Evil is merely a temporary existence and does not represent anything." So, you must have faith in God and firmly believe in Him. Evil is merely a temporary existence and does not represent anything.
Hal raised his hand and said solemnly: "There is no need for such unnecessary pleasantries, Reinhardt. You understand your position; you are more exceptional than the other children, and thus you must bear greater responsibilities. Since the Duke of the Blood Clan has appeared near the Divine Nest, they are bound to make significant moves. You must be mentally prepared! You are likely to face unexpectedly powerful enemies, so be cautious!"
Reinhardt was truly desperate, his mind a blank that day. He shouted loudly: "But, Alin, just like that damned vampire said, I... maybe I have fallen in love with you. So, I honestly say, I would rather die myself than let you get hurt. Do you understand?"
