Teufel stood there with his hands protecting his face and his eyes closed, but when he heard the rustling noise he slowly opened his eyes.
When he looked around, he noticed that they were in a huge hall. He wondered if the whole hall was made of marble. The whole building was done with a smooth white luster, it had huge pillars that was carved beautifully holding it up, and the ceiling was done in a dome shape. The whole place looked like a cathedral and the hall had a very holy atmosphere.
It seemed that Teufel and the rest were at the top of a pedestal that was located in the deepest part of the building. They were in a position higher than the surrounding area. His classmates also looked around stunned at what they were seeing. Apparently, all that students that were present in the classroom at that time, was caught up in the situation.
Teufel glanced behind. There was Jane also looking around stunned at was before them. She did not seem to be injured, so Teufel felt relief.
Perhaps, the people that were surrounding the pedestal would be able to explain the situation. Yeah, Teufel and his cla.s.smates were not the only ones here. There were at least 30 people on their knees giving prayer with both their hands in front of their chest. All of them wore a white robe that was embroidered with gold, and they had a staff right next to them.
One particular priest looked to be about 70 years old, what made him stand out was his very formal headwear that was close to 30 cm in height, stepped forward towards them. Though with his old age, he was wearing too flashy of a robe. He might have pa.s.sed for someone in his fifties if not for the wrinkles that engraved his face.
The old priest spoke to them with a clear and calming voice that fit his appearance, with the staff in his hand.
"Welcome to Phaetul, our Hero and his fellow countrymen. We welcome you all. I am called Carthis Thercul and I am the Pope of the Holy Church. Please let's get along."
After he introduced himself, he presented a smile that was often associated with nice elderly people.
-----------------------------------------------------
Currently, Teufel and the rest moved locations, they had passed through the great hall and saw some tables lined up 10 meters in front of them. Without exception this room was made with gorgeous details. From a layman's perspective, it seemed like all the works that decorated the room was made with masterful technique. Probably this was where they were going to eat. Jacob's group of 4 and teacher Amanda sat at the head of the table. Teufel sat at the last spot.
Nobody made any noise as they were guided to this area and seated, their minds were still trying to work out what happened to them. It was up to Carthis to explain the situation, even Jacob with his Charisma was silently wondering. Teacher Amanda gathered the students like a teacher should, with teary eyes.
When everyone was seated, with amazing timing, the maids entered pushing carts. Yeah, real maids! Not like those fat old maids that plagued the earth. These were real and true beautiful woman, beautiful women maids that embodied the dreams of a man.
The majority of the class boys stared at the maids because of their adolescent minds. Though the girls were sending cold glares at them.
Teufel instinctively stares at the maid that comes by his side to serve the drinks… but for some reason he felt a chill down his spine and he fixed his staring. When he faced the direction of the chill, Teufel saw Jane smiling at him. Teufel decided to stop looking.
Carthis started his explanation after he confirmed that everyone had gotten a drink.
