Chapter 34 Temple of the Light
Edith stared at him in surprise. He sounded so arrogant. She’d never heard a mage speak so arrogantly with no self-awareness. What does he mean? There’s no danger to him? The young mage is new to this world. Surely he doesn’t think the Magical Beast Forest has the same risk factor as an ordinary forest?
Edith looked at Celia again. This young man didn’t know the dangers of the Magical Beast Forest, but the Princess of Skadi, who was near the forest, should know how dangerous the forest was, right? But Celia only pondered for a moment before saying quietly to Mo Fan, “Then I’ll leave it to you, Mr. Mage. Thank you for making the trip to the Magical Beast Forest.”

“I’ll leave Teacher’s potion to you.” The Knight Leader, Irigore, looked at Mo Fan expectantly, as if he was certain that Mo Fan would be able to obtain the Dragon’s Breath from the Magical Beast Forest.
Mo Fan really wanted to take a trip to the Magical Beast Forest, not only just to gather the magical gems. He was very curious about what the Scandimoss Dragon looked like. Moreover, legend had it that the biggest hobby of the giant dragons was collecting treasures. Perhaps after he defeated the dragon, not only could he obtain the Dragon’s Breath, he could also take over the dragon’s treasure vault?
At this moment, Edith looked around and realized that everyone in the room, except for herself, had great confidence that this young mage would obtain the Dragon’s Breath from the Magical Beast Forest. Are these people crazy? These are dragons! The Scandimoss Dragons were the only magical beasts in the Magical Beast Forest whose cubs reached the Saint Realm when they grew up. They were immune to the attack of Fire magic to a certain extent, but their Fire magic attacks had additional attributes.
Edith was speechless for a moment, but she didn’t say anything else to object. Suddenly, she turned to Mo Fan. “In that case, I’ll come along. I also want to see how insignificant the Magical Beast Forest is to you.”
Fatal accidents were not allowed for the next generation of successors nurtured by the Karensi family. As a result, Edith had been taught from an early age that the Magical Beast Forest was a forbidden place and absolutely off-limits. But Mo Fan’s decision to go to the Magical Beast Forest had completely ignited Edith’s curiosity.
Mo Fan shrugged nonchalantly. “I happen to need a guide.
If you want to follow, you can, of course.”
Mo Fan felt that it didn’t matter if he brought a girl along. Doesn’t she doubt my strength? Then I will use my absolute strength to show her what a Mage is!

The main hall of the 12 Temples of Light, the Merle Temple, was located on Holy Mount Kaffa. Huge white divine pillars stood in front of the temple. On them were carved complicated and exquisite statues of gods. The 12 divine pillars were like 12 huge scrolls. The God of Light’s Salvation Diagram was vividly carved on these 12 divine pillars.
Outside the temple, there was a vast flat ground paved with white jade. Believers in white robes knelt reverently. Suddenly, a pure aura of light spread out from the temple. Immediately, the magic patterns that covered the entire huge temple rushed into the sky. The golden light that belonged to the prophecy magic array made the countless believers chanting outside the temple raise their eyes.
But the next moment, they were blinded by the golden light and had to cover their eyes with their hands. Although there was an array protecting them, the holy light was not something they could look at directly. Slowly, the array disappeared and the golden holy light dimmed in the sky.
The worshippers looked up at the disappearing holy light, and their expressions became even more reverent as they fell to their knees in worship. Inside the temple, everyone was devout and solemn! Twelve Archbishops of the Light stood silently and solemnly in the great hall, and before them, on his high throne, sat the most powerful man on the continent, the representative of the God of Light in the world.
The Pope of the Temple of Light! Pope Themis always looked calm when he encountered anything, but now he had a tense look on his face, as if he was worried about something. This had never happened in the history of the Temple of Light. In the hearts of all its believers in the continent, no one could fight the God of Light.
Any man, any mage, had to bow at the feet of the God of Light. And it wasn’t just the Pope who was worried. The Archbishops looked equally grim and at the same time a little apprehensive. They all turned to Pope Themis on his throne. But none of them opened their mouths. They all tacitly remained silent until red tears of blood fell from the Pope’s eyes.
The Archbishop of the Merle Temple, the Great Archmage, Caliph, stepped forward immediately and asked with concern, “Are you well, Your Holiness?” The Archbishops beneath the golden throne also cast worried glances at the Pope. They had gathered here today on the orders of the Pope.
This was only the third time that the 12 Archbishops of Light had gathered together in the thousand-year history of the Temple of Light. And each time, they had gathered for the same reason. His Holiness, the Pope, was using the Great Prophecy!
