Chapter 479
Holy Mountain .
The Holy Mountain was the most famous mountain in the commercial district . It was even the most famous mountain in the entire outer wall as the headquarters of the Holy Church was located in here . The mountain was 580 meters tall with full of steep cliffs . It was covered in white flowers . The thick black snow couldn't freeze the white flowers but would make it bloom more brilliant and beautiful . That's why the name of these white flowers was Sun Flower .
Because of sunflower's proud, unyielding and tenacious qualities it had got the appreciation of the first Pope . Since then the sunflowers were called as holy flowers too . They were engraved all over the mountain as a holy emblem . It symbolized the pursuit of Light God's will .
Sunflowers couldn't be spoiled or taken out . The people responsible for the flowers would be punished if anything happened to them .
St . Mark's Square on mountaintop . An old man was quietly sitting in here . He was wearing a gorgeous gown and holding onto a scepter which had a fist big white gem on top of it .
"Boyce!"
"Boyce!"
The silence of the square was broken by the anxious cries of a woman .
The old man slowly turned to see a boy who was around 8 or 9 years old running towards him as he carried a wooden sword . A graceful woman dressed as a nun was chaing the kid .
"Granpda Pope, I wanna fight you!" The little boy rushed to stop in front of the old man and said in an angry tone .
"Boyce!" The nun reached and pulled the kid in hurry . She bowed in front of the old man: "Pope, its that my discipline wasn't strict that Boyce distrubed you . " She pulled the boy's hand as hard as she could but because of disparity in strength she couldn't take him away .
Pope smiled as he raised his hand to stop her . He looked at the little boy: "Do you want to duel?"
"Yes!" Boyce replied .
"Pople, don't take his words to heart . He is just playing around . " Nun looked at Boyce: "You are being rude! Apologize to the Pope right now! You don't understand what you are doing!"
Pope asked in a tone with full of interest: "Why?"
"Because I'm angry!"
The little boy thought that his answer was reasonable .
"Boyce!" Nun was frightened: "Stop uttering nonsense! Apologize . . . "
Pope raised his hand to interrupt her: "No need to suppress and hold back the anger . I would like to listen to your reasoning . Boyce, why are you angry?"
Nun wryly smiled as she let go of the little boy . She winked at the kid but the latter ignored her .
"I'm going to fight you!" Boyce continued: "Grandpa Pope you said that if I can beat the instructor then I can go down the mountain to play! Nobody is listening to me! Why? I want to beat you so that everyone will listen to me!"
Nun's face turned pale and her body trembled as she heard the kid's words . She almost fainted because of fear .
Pope smiled: "Remember my original words . I said that you are allowed to go down the mountain if you can beat the instructor on a head on fight . You cheated by using a medicine for diarrhea . Is that right? It's not the right way!" Pope smile as he spoke .
Boyce's neck shrank a bit and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes . However he brought back his head: "I didn't use medicine for diarrhea . . I relied on strength to beat him! Hmpf!"
"You are going to be the most outstanding knight of light . You shouldn't lie . " Pope said in a serious tone .
Boyce was not willing to bow his head so he stubbornly said: "I didn't lie and I also disdain lies . I gave him a medicine for abdominal pain not for diarrhea!" The kid whispered: "How could a mere medicine for diarrhea make his stomach . . . "
Pope shook his head as he smiled: "Anywa, you should beat him face to face . "
Boyce pouted: "Grandpa Pope, why others can go down but I can't? It's unfair!"
Pope gently touched his head: "Silly kid, you aren't same like others . You will become the most powerful person in the Holy Church in the future . . . Actually you will be the strongest person in the outer wall!"
Boyce replied: "I'll die because of boredom by that time!"
Pope laughed .
Nun took the opportunity as she saw that Pope was angered: "Your highness, Boyce is not sensible . Please forgive his rude . . . "
Pope held Boyce's shoulder: "Would you quickly grow up if you are angry?"
The kid saw the serious look on Pope's face . He thought for a moment and nodded: "I'll grow up as soon as possible! I'll whip that instructor day and night . . . Hmpf! He will ask for mercy from me every day!"
Pope couldn't help but smile . It seems that the kid had decided on it .
"Grandpa Pope, why are you always sitting here?" Boyce asked in a curious tone .
Pope smiled as he turned to face the vast St . Mark's square . There were numerous buildings at the end of the square . He whispered: "Because it has the best scenery . . . "

. . .
Hawkeye was pacing back and forth on the balcony of the manor . He saw a figure came closely . It was Dean .
Hawkeye's eyes lit up as he rushed to greet Dean: "Elder, you finally came back . One of our sub-regions is being swallowed by the eighth region . . . "
Dean raised his hand before Hawkeye could finish .
Hawkeye turned silent .
Dean went into the manor without a word . He walked along the underground passage to the headquarters . A woman almost hit him on the way . She apologized in hurry as she recognized Dean .
Hawkeye shouted: "Bastard, do you want to die?"
Dean had gone far by that time .
"Elder, you are back . " Neuss stood upright when he saw Dean come back .
Hawkeye joined the room too . He wanted to continue to report but Dean said in a cold tone: "From now on the 9th region will be controlling by you and fourteen council members . You will decide by voting . "
Hawkeye was stunned .
"Prepary an alchemy room for me . " Dean sat down on chair . He put the ashes aside and lifted a pencil to write bunch of materials: "No one would come in without my permission . Do you understand me?"
Hawkeye was at a loss: "Elder, are you . . . ?"
"Did you understand?"
"Yes, Elder . " Hawkeye scratched his head:" Elder but you were the one to control the 9th region . Didn't you say that we will be one of the top five regions within six months? Then . . . "
"If there is someone who wants to say something then let them come personally . " Dean said in an indifferent tone: "The previous commitment won't change . You don't have to worry about as the 9th region will become one of the top five areas within 6 months . "
Hawkeye looked at him: "Elder, what about the 8th region . . . "
"I said you will deal with everything with the council members . There will be a total of 15 people so there won't be any deadlocks . " Dean handed out the paper to Hawkeye: "Prepare these materials and send them to my alchemy room . "
Hawkeye quickly glanced . Most of them were metal materials . He couldn't help but wonder what Dean had in mind . But this was a quite clear message to him . Elder was an alchemist!
Neuss who was by Dean knew that something was wrong with Dean . However he remembered the shark spear and two legendary items that Dean had produced . . . His heart turned cold as he knew that Dean was upto something else!
