Chapter 269 Time Clockwork
Klauen looked at the furnishings in the airship and found that it should be an airship purely for transporting passengers. The space utilization rate was extremely low and the decoration was luxurious.
The airship was covered with a layer of soft leather and gray carpets were laid under his feet.
Compared with the airships he had taken before, it was N levels higher.
At this time, Harry, who was leading the way, stopped and pointed to the front:
"Your Excellency, the Archbishop and his men are in front. I will go and notify the pilot to take off."
There were three silver-level masters sitting there. For some reason, he always felt that there was a silver glow flashing in his eyes, full of oppression, but he did not have this feeling when facing a silver-level master.
Standing near them, Harry felt like a chicken being stared at by an eagle, and a sense of fear would arise as if engraved in his blood.
Now that there is another silver-level master joining, he doesn't want to get close.
If possible, he wants to stay as far away as possible.
Clown stepped forward, walked to the bishop who was talking, sat down next to Lannister naturally, and said:
"Archbishop, Lord Cavendish, Lord Warlock, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
Flanders smiled kindly: "I just said that there is no need to send someone to notify you, you will come by yourself."
He looked down and saw the black cat in Clown's arms, and said, "Huh": "This black cat is very special."
Most cats have white whiskers, and a few are black, brown or gray, but he has never seen a cat with golden whiskers.
This is not the most surprising thing for him. Just now, the black cat's whiskers actually flashed with light, and he would not think that he was dazzled.
After advancing to silver, he felt that his body was like a dry pond filled with water again, full of strength, and his eyes could capture faster objects.
He tried to use his spiritual sense to sense and found that the black cat's spirituality was pure without a trace of impurities, just like "seeing" the moonlight shining into the room at night.
The words of the archbishop also attracted the attention of the other two people, and the peculiarity of the black cat was soon noticed by them.
Lannister asked curiously: "I didn't expect that you would raise such a strange pet. Is it because of a positive mutation?"
Since the gray fog spread, the concentration of spirituality in the world has increased rapidly, and all creatures that have been in direct contact with the gray fog for a long time have mutated.
In most cases, a group of deformed and highly aggressive monsters have been created, but there is also a very small probability that beneficial changes will occur to organisms.
He once saw a sparrow grow a second pair of wings, and its flying speed increased significantly, and this sparrow did not lose its rationality.
"It should be. When I first saw this kitten in the wild, I found that it did not mutate into a disgusting and deformed appearance like other animals."
Clown gave a perfunctory reason. How could he not understand that all this was the credit of the Golden Light Curse and the talisman water.
In total, he probably spent thousands of gold spirit coins on the two pets.
After talking for a while, Lannister stood up and said goodbye. These bishops should have other things to discuss, and it was not appropriate for him to stay here.
In addition, facing the three powerful church members, he felt a lot of pressure.
After the silver warlock left, Clown asked:
"Archbishop, is there anything to pay attention to in the Holy See? Is there a place to sell jade in the city of Bly?"
It was his first time to go to the headquarters of the Church of the Lord of Fire, and he was a little curious.
The Holy See is located in the south of the Kingdom of Farouk, which is much warmer than the north. Maybe he can buy warm jade.
If he can't buy warm jade in the capital, he can only find a way through a multinational caravan.
Thinking that the production of the Sun Thunder Seal is still a long way off, he was secretly a little anxious.
This talisman is a real killer. The earlier you get the right warm jade, the earlier you can warm it up.
That's right, the Sun Thunder Seal is the same as the Taiyin Thunder Seal. If the carrier is good enough, the power will be further improved with warming up.
Flanders' eyes flashed with memories. He had left the Holy See for more than 20 years, and he hadn't been back for the past four or five years.
After a while, he smiled and said:
"There is nothing worth noting. There will be a set of complicated etiquette for the first audience with the Pope. Just follow his instructions.
Now we have all achieved the silver rank, so as long as we are not rude, it will not affect much."
He thought to himself that this time he went back to the Holy See to establish the College of Cardinals, and the Pope who had been in power for many years should not like them.
Clown then asked: "Do we have to meet the Pope immediately after getting off the airship?"
The archbishop waved his hand, and a gleam flashed in his eyes:
"No, we will meet some friends and then go to St. Peter's Basilica."
Cavendish yawned a little bored and said:
"The airship will take three days to reach Rhine City. I feel bored just thinking about it. There is nothing to do."
After achieving the silver rank, he felt more energetic than ever, but this journey did not seem very wonderful.
He wanted to practice his fighting skills, and the airship was obviously not an ideal place.
As a warrior eager for battle, he wanted to fight with Clown to see if there was a big gap between the two after they advanced.
When both of them were at level three, he vaguely realized that he would not be the opponent of the other party.
Flanders understood the thoughts of his old friend and smiled:
"Go back and rest. In addition to fighting, you should develop another hobby. Crown is good. He knows how to bring a pet to pass the time when you are bored."
Croun grinned. He had endless things to do. The reason why he brought pets was because he didn't want to waste the effect of the golden light spell.
The pets will also be subtly strengthened during the visualization. If it weren't for Fu Jintai's popularity, he would definitely bring both pets with him.
"Then I'll go back and see if I can fall asleep."
Cavendi nodded listlessly, stood up and left.
"Go ahead."
The archbishop waved his hands, then leaned forward and lowered his voice:
"Your residence is next to Lannister. Let Harry help you lead the way later."
Crown raised his eyebrows and also lowered his voice: "What do you think he will do in private? Okay, I will pay attention."
"I'm sure Lannister is a smart man and wouldn't do anything small in this situation, but safety comes first just in case.
You don’t need to stare, Cavendi is next door on the other side of him, I live opposite him, and now he is completely surrounded by us. "
The two chatted for a while, and then Crown said goodbye and left. He found Harry who was waiting beside him and asked him to lead him back to his room.
. . . .
St. Peter's Basilica.
The sun shines through the bright windows and slants on the profile of Osman Deluc.
He has short gray hair, like stubborn steel needles, standing upright with great energy.
Under the alternating light of light and dark, his profile was sharp and angular, giving him a different kind of majesty.
He stared at the two archbishops in front of him, his eyes a little softer:
"How have you gained from watching secret volumes during these days?"
Within a month after receiving the news that the cardinal archbishop of Cologne Cathedral had achieved the silver rank, two archbishops in his direct lineage had successively advanced to silver, which made him overjoyed.
What made him even more happy was that one of the secret troops in his hands also advanced to silver. No one else knew about this news.
Counting himself, there were three senior silver-ranked people in his own force, which was on par with the group composed of Flanders and others.
Flanders and others did not hide the fact that they set off for the Holy See. They submitted the application a week ago and said that they had major military intelligence reports.
Osman sneered. The Kingdom of Faruk was not bordered by the ocean. It only had two short coastlines and was surrounded by mountains on three sides. How could it have any major military situation.
He believed that the other party came here firstly to obtain the Silver Rank Cultivation Secret Scroll, and secondly to establish a College of Cardinals to limit the power in his hands.
Now even if the College of Cardinals is established, he has the upper hand. The Pope's resolution has two votes in the College of Cardinals, and each of the other Silver Ranks has only one vote.
Ah Med bowed slightly and said with a cheerful face:
"Your Majesty, I have gained a lot these days. I feel that my holy power is beginning to grow rapidly. I have not felt this kind of pleasure of rapidly increasing strength for more than 20 years."
Drago Mio also had an uncontrollable sense of joy on his face: "Your Majesty, I feel the same way. The rapid increase in strength is intoxicating."
"Very good. This will surprise those opponents. You go down first. There are still a few days before Flanders and others arrive at the Holy See. Maybe you can improve a little more."
"Your Majesty, let us take our leave."
The two archbishops bowed and walked away.
The Pope was the only one left in the room, and the joy on his face quickly dissipated, and Youyou said:
"Everyone is making progress, am I the only one who is standing still? Is it unfortunate to become the Pope before this era comes?"
His voice was low, but it echoed in the room.
"Your Majesty, you are the wisest and most adventurous person I have ever met. You will definitely be able to find other ways to make up for the shortcomings of forced sublimation."
The light and shadow changed in the shadow behind him, and a man of medium height wearing black clothes appeared.
There were several criss-cross scars on the man's face, and the scars twisted as he spoke, adding to the fierceness.
"hope so."
Osman spoke calmly, he sighed in his heart, and then said:
"After Ahe and Drago became archbishops, they may have never fought again, and they have lost the vigilance that an exorcism priest should have.
I've been meeting with them several times, and I'm really disappointed that I didn't notice your presence.
The resurrection of the evil god is inevitable, and this is not a good phenomenon. "
"Peace has lasted for a long time, and there are too few battles in the diocese that require the use of the cardinal archbishop.
I hid behind the crown, submerged in the silver brilliance of the crown. In addition, my ability was very concealed, so it was normal for me not to be discovered by the two bishops.
If I were alone in this room, the two bishops would be able to tell something was wrong. "
"Not necessarily! Have you discovered anything worth being happy about recently?"
The man responded calmly: "Your Majesty, I sent secret guards to the Kingdom of Ribia to investigate a bizarre case.
The file says that there is a skinny weirdo hidden under a broken yellow robe. He can give yellow symbols to those learned people. Most of the people who receive such gifts go crazy. There are exceptions. Those who are not crazy get Endless hidden knowledge.
If the investigation is clear, the secret guard will return immediately. If the matter is true, I wonder if people who are not crazy will have the knowledge to replenish the damaged source of life. "
"Haha", the Pope suddenly laughed, he felt that this kind of thing sounded like nonsense.
A symbol can make people gain endless knowledge, but more people have gone crazy, it sounds like mortals hearing the evil god's bewitching muttering.
Since his own secret guard leader has sent people out, he might as well find out the real situation.
. . . .
Compared with Cavendish's idleness, Clown felt that time was not enough.
He summoned a ball of metal essence the size of a ping-pong ball, released bullet time, and then continuously released the golden light seal.
When the sand of time was consumed by half, he ended the bullet time.
It has become his instinct to stay in combat.
At any time when he is not in a state of war, he will keep at least one-third of the stock of "casting materials".
With the continuous improvement of the proficiency of the Golden Light Mantra, the speed at which the Golden Light Mantra smudges the metal essence is getting faster and faster. After two hours of uninterrupted casting, this ball of metal essence can be completely transformed into magic-breaking metal.
The Golden Light Seal consumed the Life Qi and Sunfire Fluid. When Clown realized that only half of the Life Qi was left, he stopped his movements and visualized the Golden Light Mantra.
During the visualization, the recovery speed of the Life Qi was greatly accelerated.
Two hours later, he ended the visualization, took out two Golden Spirit Coins and began to absorb the spiritual essence from them to accelerate the recovery of the Time Sand.
After the Time Sand was full, he began to repeat the previous behavior and started the bullet time.
After a day and a night spent safely on the airship, on a morning with the rising sun, Clown released the bullet time again. Not long after, he felt the violent vibration of the time hourglass, and the spirit control advanced.
His consciousness immediately sank into the sea of consciousness. He observed that the size of the time hourglass had increased slightly, and the color on the brass base was also much brighter, as if it was often touched by someone, and there was a special sense of brightness.
The most satisfying thing was that there was an extra silver star on the base of the hourglass.
Clown's consciousness entered the time hourglass and felt what this new ability was.
Time Clockwork, this is the name of the new ability. He can create an invisible force field around his body. The movement speed of enemies entering it will be reduced, but he himself will not be affected.
"Haha", Clown chuckled. Bullet time increases his own speed, Time Clockwork reduces the speed of enemies, and Time Standstill pauses enemies. Combined with his faster basic speed and strength than the extraordinary people of the same level, it is a perfect match.
If he fights monsters, he will definitely become a real melee butcher, and a silver warrior with powerful long-range attack methods.
There is a warlock living next door. Clown suppressed his eagerness to experiment with new skills immediately and checked the current level of other abilities of the time hourglass.
