Chapter 746: Hope of Redemption, Researching New Magical Powers

Accardo recalled that he used to be a devout believer, praying every day, dedicating everything he had to God, and always fighting for God.

He longed for the coming of God and longed for salvation, but until his country was ruined and his family was destroyed, God never responded to him.

On the contrary, the successive jihads caused his country to perish, his people suffered countless casualties, and he was also sent to the execution platform.

When he was about to be beheaded, he gave up the God he had always believed in, used blood as currency and soul as the price, converted to evil, and sang the song of hell.

After that, there is revenge, crazy revenge. Wherever he passes, all flesh and blood will be like grass.

The long years of killing were like a terrible nightmare. He was sinking in the nightmare and didn't know when he would wake up.

He already regretted his choice back then.

If he was given another chance, he thought, he wouldn't be so resentful, turn to evil, and become a monster.

He will die calmly as a human being.

But there is no chance to do it again.

Decades ago, he single-handedly invaded London and encountered Hircine, the leader of the Knights of the Round Table at the time, the leader of the Royal Knights of the Church. He was defeated by him.

He thought he was going to die, but he didn't.

Hircine used incredible power to transform his first dependent, also his wife, from a vampire back into a human being.

That was the first time he knew that in addition to humans turning into monsters, monsters could also transform back into humans.

He seems to have seen a hope of redemption. He is ashamed of his current identity as a monster, and he misses himself as a human being.

Hircine caught hold of this mentality in him and took him as a slave. From then on, he became a...monster of the Royal Knights of the Ecclesiarchy.

This may be a good choice for Accardo.

Because he is a monster who converted his soul to "evil". If he dies, there will be no relief or salvation.

On the contrary, he will return to the embrace of "evil" as a monster, rooted in the depths of "evil", and will never be reincarnated.

It was better for him to surrender to Hircine and become Hircine's servant than to return his soul to the embrace of "evil".

He still remembered the ceremony. Hircine nailed a sacred artifact to his heart. He seemed to be dead, but also seemed not to be alive. He was in a state between life and death. Then, he woke up, with Hircine The identity of a family servant.

For him, the ceremony was very similar to the one in which he first converted to evil.

Through that ritual, he gained a new life. Although he was still a monster, his identity changed and he was no longer an "evil" monster.

After his death, he will not return to the embrace of evil and will truly find peace.

Therefore, he looked forward to relief and longed for a long rest.

But he cannot commit suicide. According to their teachings, suicide will lead to hell.

He does not die of old age, so he can only be killed and use up his life in the battle.

As a monster, his pride prevented him from dying in the hands of monsters.

He has always believed that only humans can kill monsters.

He was expecting this person to appear and end his life as a monster.

"Where is this person?" Accardo thought to himself. "Is he here?"

The waves surged onto the beach, and Walter stood behind Accardo, flipping his fingers up and down, fiddling with his knife wire, and boringly cutting off the waves that came one after another.

He didn't understand why Accardo was sometimes calm and sometimes laughing wildly, but he didn't ask much. After all, before he became a monster, this guy was nicknamed the Mad King.

It is not surprising for a madman to do whatever he does.

Accardo put away his thoughts. A hellhound suddenly appeared behind him. It opened its huge mouth and ate the red one-horned demon in one bite. Immediately, there was a creepy chewing sound.

The butler Walter was still playing the game of cutting off the waves happily, turning a blind eye to this scene.

It's just cannibalism. As Accardo's partner, he has seen many such scenes.

In fact, when he first learned that his partner was a vampire, he was very disgusted and even challenged him to defeat him to prove that he was capable of completing all the tasks assigned by his master.

And Accardo's way of responding to his provocation was also very simple. When Accardo performed his first mission, he turned into an immature child and completed the mission in an almost devastating way.

At that time, he knew that there was a big difference between him and himself.

As for why he turned into a little girl?

He guessed that this was to humiliate and ridicule himself, telling himself in this way that his strength was as ridiculous as a child in front of him.

After that, he kept holding his breath in his heart. One day, he would surpass him, kill him, and do what a knight should do.

Accardo frowned as he chewed the food and ate it. Although the food was rich in blood and juice, it still tasted unpalatable, as if he was chewing a piece of shriveled old bacon.

"Without any spirituality, no wonder it tastes so disgusting, bah!"

The Cerberus behind him spat out a puddle of body parts, but then he laughed again:

"A guy who used his soul as a bargaining chip in exchange for power, but when the deal was about to be completed, he lost his chips... I have to say, this guy is very lucky, hahahaha..."

On the other side, Zhang Zhiwei carried the boy back to the church school, put him back in bed, and then returned to the Tiantong Church. He told Wang Ai what had just happened.

Wang Ai was shocked when he heard it. There were evil people from the West invading and doing evil in the church school. The immortals he arranged for security in the school did not find it! !

He immediately called a few old immortals to hold a meeting, asking them to control the people below, strengthen security, and prevent such things from happening.

Then, he contacted the school administrators and asked them to bring the student to the church tomorrow.

This student's physique is more suitable, and he has been strengthened by a strange power. Just right to be accepted into the church and become a formal member.

Now the church has expanded a lot, but there are few talents available in it. Most of the members in the hall are immortals. It's okay to expect them to go out to see a doctor and fight, but it's not so good to expect them to manage.

After he became the head of the Chuantang, he had attracted many children of the Wang family to join the hall to help, but there was still a shortage of manpower.

The purpose of setting up a church school, in addition to charity, is also to select talents. If there is a qualification to become an extraordinary person, he will arrange for that person to be trained.

Almost all the babies who were persecuted by the Medicine Fairy Society and sent from Changjun before were arranged by Wang Ai on this key list.

Because of this encounter, this boy has also entered Wang Ai's key training list, and will be taught magic in the future.

Regarding these, Wang Ai reported to Zhang Zhiwei, but Zhang Zhiwei did not care much, nor did he make any suggestions, and just let Wang Ai arrange it himself.

Afterwards, Wang Ai told Zhang Zhiwei about today's battle situation.

Under the full operation of the church, the riots have all stopped, but it is inevitable that there will be damage to the gangs involved in the fight, especially the people of Yongxin Company, who lost some brothers, but they were not seriously injured, and he also gave them enough resettlement fees.

And those gangs who made trouble were also remembered by him, and they will be eradicated one by one afterwards, just as if they were doing justice for the heaven.

However, things in the underworld are easy to deal with, but things in the white world are not easy to say, especially the people in the Municipal Council.

This time, the Municipal Council sent people to demolish the church resettlement area and failed, and suffered heavy losses. Although he sent some captives back afterwards, given the character of those foreigners, this matter will not be let go, and there will be a lot of trouble in the future.

In this regard, Wang Ai thought of many countermeasures, but there is no guarantee that they will succeed, after all, it involves the power of the overseas Shasun family.

Please...collect_6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

He even thought that if it is really difficult to deal with, then I won’t accompany you, just move directly, connect the Tiantong Church with a series of industries, and move from the Magic City to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.

The power of the Municipal Council there cannot intervene, and it is within the sphere of influence of the four families, so even if the Shasun family comes to the door, there is no need to worry.

Moreover, the economic development there is also good. Putting the church there, the development speed will not be as fast as in the Magic City, but it will be much smoother.

Zhang Zhiwei heard this and rejected Wang Ai's proposal. Unlike the Magic City, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas are not complicated and can accommodate anyone. The forces of the aliens there are relatively fixed. The size of the Tiantong Church is already very large. If they parachute in, they will definitely be targeted.

The four families are very powerful there, but if the Tiantong Church goes there, isn't it also encroaching on the territory of the four families?

Although he has a good relationship with the four families, relationships are relationships and interests are interests. If the two sides are mixed up, it will only cause trouble.

After denying this matter, Zhang Zhiwei told Wang Ai that the previous trip he went out not only dealt with the Western alien who came to the school to make trouble, but also dealt with the people of the Municipal Council. If there is no accident, the Municipal Council will not cause trouble again.

Of course, if the Municipal Council is not sharp and continues to cause trouble, he will go and talk to them in person.

When Wang Ai heard that Zhang Zhiwei had solved the most difficult Municipal Council, he was surprised and happy. He had given money and used connections to solve the problem, but Senior Brother Zhang solved it.

As expected, money, connections, face, etc., are not as effective as supernatural powers!

"Now that the Municipal Council has been solved, the rest will be easy to deal with. I will go to Fengming Tower to discuss with the eldest sister and test the opinions of all parties."

Wang Ai left in a hurry.

Zhang Zhiwei went to the church of Tiantong Church again.

Before, he tried to integrate the lightning incarnation into his statue and contact the power of faith inside.

Then he sensed the situation of the believers and came to the believers through the transmission channel of the power of faith.

This case gave him an idea that perhaps he could separate an incarnation and stay in the statue.

In this way, even if something happened and the original body did not notice it or was too late, the incarnation could arrive in time.

After all, he has received so much incense and faith from the believers, so if he has the ability, he should give back.

Zhang Zhiwei came to his own church. The main church of Tiantong Church is Western-style, with a wide courtyard, antechamber, hall and prayer hall at the back. A wheel-shaped candle chandelier hangs on the dome.

But the various arrangements inside are Chinese-style. There is even a platform with railings on the edge of the platform, and various Taoist patterns or auspicious patterns are carved on the railings.

The surrounding walls are also painted with exquisite Taoist myths, images of gods, flowers and birds, and other colorful paintings.

In short, this is a combination of Chinese and Western styles, which makes Zhang Zhiwei want to complain, but he doesn't know where to start.

He can only comment: "It's both Chinese and Western, but it's pretty good!"

Zhang Zhiwei walked to his statue. His statue was not enlarged, but a one-to-one restoration, but the altar under the statue was a little high, nearly five meters.

In front of the altar were incense burners, candlesticks and other sacrificial supplies for believers to burn incense, worship, and offer fruits, flowers and other items.

Because the statue is placed high, as long as you stand in this church, you need to look up at him.

Even if Zhang Zhiwei himself stood here and looked over, he would look like a pilgrim.

"It's quite intimidating!"

Zhang Zhiwei smacked his lips. Don't say it, the statue that Wang Ai hired someone to carve really has some of his charm. From a purely external point of view, he couldn't find any faults.

Zhang Zhiwei stepped onto the altar and faced the statue face to face. His eyes slightly opened and closed. The lifeless eyes, which were originally like dead fish eyes, became brighter and brighter. Two electric lights flew out of them and merged into the eyes of the statue.

In an instant, like the finishing touch, the statue suddenly became alive. The stone eyes seemed to blink, and silver eyes shone through them.

But Zhang Zhiwei, who was opposite the statue, frowned. "Although it looks successful, the incarnation that resides in the statue is also dominated by my thinking."

"If I keep doing two things at the same time, with my high level of cultivation, there may not be any impact in the short term, but over time, there will inevitably be disadvantages."

"Moreover, the Tiantong Church will not have only one temple in the future. If I send an incarnation to guard each temple, even I will not be able to bear it."

Zhang Zhiwei felt that it was unreliable and wanted to give up immediately, but then he thought, can I find a way to solve it? !

Immediately, he sat cross-legged on the altar and began to enter a state of meditation, allowing his body and mind to reach the most peaceful state.

The quieter the environment, the more conducive it is to thinking and understanding.

Of course, before that, he needs to check whether there are gaps in his life, and reflect on himself three times a day, just like a room, which needs to be cleaned every day to keep it tidy.

After adjusting his own state to the best state, Zhang Zhiwei began to study the ability of lightning incarnation.

Lightning incarnation is an ability born from faith, which comes from the imagination of the people. It is difficult to make any sense, so Zhang Zhiwei has never studied it deeply, but existence is reasonable.

The reason why it was born must have some rules of its own. Zhang Zhiwei began to analyze it in detail.
