The Church Academy (Warlock academies are equivalent to universities; think of Cassell College.)

They had never imagined that the revered artifact spirit would consider Eros to have the potential to become a Saint.

Of course! Without such potential, why would a Great One have personally baptized him?

Without such potential, how could he have gained the recognition of their ancestor's divine artifact?

A Saint-a holy being! In ancient times, such beings could be called Subgods or angels. One step further, and they could raise their Divine Throne on high and attain greatness!

If Eros became a Saint, then with the three divine artifacts left behind by their ancestor and the fragments of their ancestor's Shattered Divine Kingdom that the family had gathered over tens of thousands of years, he might well be able to raise his Divine Throne on high and attain greatness!

He would become the second Great One after their ancestor, and they would witness the birth of a new Great One. At the thought, their breathing grew heavy.

Only after a long while, once they had calmed down, did someone speak. "Since this is the revered artifact spirit's advice, we should certainly follow it. We still need to give the details some thought, though."

With that, they gathered together and began whispering among themselves.

Someone said, "Isn't this year's enrollment at the Imperial Capital First Holy Academy coming up soon? Why don't we..."

Another agreed. "I think that could work. Little Eros has never been out in the world, after all. Letting him get used to things in a relatively safe environment first would be good."

Others hesitated, however. "But would that really be safe? That academy is jointly run by the Three Great Churches. If little Eros goes there, won't he be right under their noses?"

Several people nodded in agreement after hearing his words.

It was a reasonable point, after all. Going straight under their noses did seem a little too dangerous.

But the man who had first spoken laughed when he heard this.

"What is there to fear? Isn't our entire family already under their noses? Remember, the most dangerous place can be the safest."

"Little Eros has now awakened his elven bloodline. Once he leaves, he just needs to avoid using our Night Clan's Spell Formulas in front of others."

"With the Servant of Secrets concealing him and the Book of the Night shielding him, those church people won't be able to detect a thing. Where would the danger come from?"

His words left everyone momentarily stunned. Then came the replies:

"That's right. What does an elven bloodline have to do with our Night Clan?"

"Even we thought it was a joke, let alone outsiders. After tens of thousands of years, who would know that our ancestors intermarried with the Elf Race?"

"Besides, you can't find a single elf on the continent now. Even if they wanted to investigate, they'd have no way to do it."

"And those churches have spent tens of thousands of years proclaiming that our ancestor was an evil god. They've repeated it so often that they believe it themselves."

"But every history book on the Mystic Side describes the Elf Race as kind and benevolent."

"How could someone who awakened an elven bloodline possibly be connected to an evil god? It simply wouldn't make sense."

"I was overthinking things earlier. That never occurred to me," someone said with a sigh and a smile.

"The families under those churches send their outstanding younger members there to study every year."

"It does look a little strange that we haven't sent anyone all these years. Let's have little Eros go this time, then."

"Perhaps once his elven bloodline comes to light, our situation might actually become a little safer," someone else said.
