Chapter 270 Arrival at the Vatican

The time hourglass has a more accurate timing ability, and Clown can now grasp the passage of time more accurately.

If he wants, he can be accurate to one tenth of a millisecond, but it is not of much help at present. Accurately sensing milliseconds is enough for use, and there is still more.

This time, the spirit control is advanced, and it can accommodate more time sand. Clown took out two gold spirit coins to absorb the spirit essence.

Thanks to his own strength, the time spent on absorbing the spirit essence is now greatly reduced.

It only took forty minutes, and the spirit essence in the gold spirit coin was completely devoured. Then the spirit coin could no longer maintain its original form and turned into gray-white powder.

Finally, six gold spirit coins were consumed to fill the time hourglass.

Clown's mouth corners rose slightly. Not long after he released the bullet, the time hourglass advanced to the third level. Before the advancement, the time sand was not consumed much.

He now roughly estimated that the reserve of time sand is 1.5 times the original, and the increase is obvious.

Attaching consciousness to the second star at the base of the hourglass, Clown felt that the number of times time stillness was used increased once.

His consciousness continued to move, attached to the third silver star, and noticed that the duration of bullet time reached 54 minutes, but the acceleration effect did not change, and it was still only 15% higher.

Relatively speaking, he would rather not increase the duration in exchange for a stronger acceleration effect.

It turned out that more than half an hour of fighting time could already meet his basic needs. The faster the speed, the shorter the time to end the battle.

Then there was the effect of time reversal, which could retrace what happened thirty-six hours ago.

This skill would undoubtedly be the best for a detective or criminal investigator. If he was still an investigator, this skill would also be the best.

But it was a bit useless for him now, at least it was not very useful now.

Crowne sat on a chair, picked up a wine glass, stretched his arm and then let go of his hand. His other hand caught it below early.

Under the action of gravity, the wine glass fell to the ground and was caught steadily in mid-air. He recorded the time of falling in his mind.

Finally, it was the test of the time clockwork skill. Crowne activated the ability and he noticed a gray light in the air around him.

Pick up the wine glass again, stretch your arm and then let go, record the time it takes to fall the same distance.

Crown concluded that under the force field of the time clockwork, the falling speed of the wine glass is reduced by about 10%.

I don't know if this change will have the same effect on objects of different speeds. If it can be "treated equally", this skill has great potential.

Thinking of this, he immediately stopped the time clockwork, summoned the fire cube, and created a metal clone.

Seeing that most of the color on the surface of the clone's body was already golden, his smile became even stronger.

Gold is not the color of bronze alloy, but the color of the original silver iron essence after being stained by the golden light seal.

After this period of hard work, most of the iron essence has been transformed, and the next step will be to transform the essence of copper, tin, lead and other metals.

If he has free time, he plans to use the golden light seal to transform some of the refined metals, maybe it will be useful someday.

He conveyed the instructions and recorded the time it takes for the metal clone to swing when using different forces.

The clone can control its own power as accurately as a machine, which is very suitable for this test work.

Then he released the Time Clockwork again, the force field appeared again, and the metal clone began to slash.

After the test was completed, Clown came to the conclusion:

First, the Time Clockwork is a passive continuous skill. After it is released, it will automatically take effect and continue to consume the Time Sand until it is actively canceled or the stored "raw materials" are consumed;

Second, under the force field of the Time Clockwork, no matter how fast the object moves, the speed will be reduced by 10%;

Third, the range of the force field is not large, only two meters around the body.

Fourth, during the duration of the Time Clockwork, it does not affect the release of Time Stillness.

He observed the consumption of Time Sand and calculated that if there is enough Time Sand, the Time Clockwork can be maintained for three minutes.

The effect of this skill is more suitable for combat than Time Stillness. After all, Time Stillness consumes much more Time Sand, not to mention that Time Stillness is affected by the speed of the object.

And when the kinetic energy of the object is sufficient, the consumption of Time Sand will increase when Time Stillness is activated, which is an unstable factor.

After experimenting with the new characteristics of the Time Hourglass, Clown spent all his time on visualizing the Golden Light Mantra and using the Golden Light Seal.

Seeing his proficiency in the two skills of Golden Light Spell and Fire Breath slowly and steadily increase, he felt fulfilled and satisfied.

. . . .

The speed of the airship slowly decreased, and the golden sunlight shone into the interior of the airship through the viewing window.

Looking down at the earth, Crown saw the outline of the small city in the distance below gradually getting bigger, and the streets were like crisscrossing lines, dividing the city.

On these "lines", carriages and pedestrians were like dense insects and ants.

The height of the airship continued to decrease, and a tall red building in the city center rose from the ground, with a towering spire and a pointed arch, full of the beauty of Gothic architectural style.

From a high place, the building looked like a blooming flower of fire.

Airship parking lots can be seen around the city, and the sky is also a busy scene.

Flanders pointed to the tall building and said, "That's St. Peter's Basilica, the seat of the Vatican."

There was joy in his tone, and a hint of sighing.

Lannister looked away from the building and asked in a deep voice:

"After arriving at St. Peter's Cathedral, will we still be together?"

He passed by here a few days ago, and then left in a hurry, but he didn't expect to go back to the city of Bly.

The archbishop said: "Of course not, I will send you to the cathedral first, and the bishop in charge of receiving you will entertain you.

As for when you can see the Pope, I don't know."

It is somewhat inconvenient to have a silver warlock by his side, and he can't wait to throw him to the Pope as soon as possible.

As for whether the other party can get approval to go to Rhine City again, it depends on the other party's means.

Normally, the Pope will not expel a silver strongman for no reason, even if he himself has a bad impression of the Brotherhood.

"I understand, thank you for your hospitality these days."

Lannister nodded slightly, and the other party's arrangement did not surprise him.

He had long been thinking about finding a good reason to stay in the Rhine City of the Kingdom of Farouk, and now he has thought of a good excuse.

Turning his head, he smiled and said, "Sir, I look forward to our next meeting. We will definitely become very good trading partners."

The original plan failed, and he had to do something, at least to take back a trading agreement, otherwise he would appear incompetent.

"Then I will wait for your arrival in Hammers City."

Klauen responded politely. The potion has a huge impact on the spirit master. If the Brotherhood has no other means, it will definitely actively contact him.

What he needs to do is to control the output of the potion and then make as much profit as possible.

Everyone felt a slight vibration, and the airship landed on the land of Bligh City. The holy city of the Church of the Lord of Fire has arrived.

After getting off the airship, several people hired a six-horse carriage and drove to the city. The other entourage will look for them after handing over to the parking lot.

There is a carriage in the parking lot for the church to receive, but Flanders did not choose it.

Through the glass of the carriage, Clown saw the wide road and asked, "How many people are there in Bly?"

From the air, the outline of the city is much larger than that of Rhine City. Compared with Hamers City, it is like a baby and an elephant.

Cavendi said, "Not counting the surrounding villages and towns, there are about 400,000 people. This is the data from five years ago.

I saw that the west and south sides of the city have been expanded. Judging from the building area, the current population is at least 450,000."

Lannister couldn't help but sigh: "The total population of the entire Sindni Island is only about 500,000. The population of the largest city there is less than 100,000."

The foundation of any church crushes the Warlock Brotherhood in terms of population. However, the proportion of warlocks in Sindni Island is much higher than the proportion of combatants in the church.

The good thing is that the spiritual concentration of the world is constantly increasing, and there will be more and more children with warlock talents.

The carriage sped along the wide streets of the city, and two hours later, it arrived at St. Peter's Cathedral.

Flanders took Lannister out of the carriage and walked into the church.

About half an hour later, the archbishop returned and the carriage continued to move forward.

The archbishop sat down and smiled, "We will meet with other silver archbishops at the Laurel Hotel on Codiwat Street to discuss some things. This is already agreed.

If everything goes well, we will go to St. Peter's Basilica the day after tomorrow morning."

Cavendish said, "The Laurel Hotel is adjacent to the street where the church is located. It only takes 20 minutes to get there."

Clown understood that this was said to him, and smiled and responded, "It's very close."

After the silver warlock left, the three chatted more casually. Flanders told many interesting stories about his stay here when he was young.

. . . .

Laurel Hotel.

As its name suggests, this hotel is elegantly decorated and has a fresh scent of laurel.

When Clown and others arrived, they found that other bishops were already waiting here.

Seeing that three silver-level strongmen had arrived from the Rhine Diocese, the surprise and envy on the faces of other red cardinals could not be concealed.

In a small meeting room, Flanders introduced happily:

"Let me introduce you two first. This is Archbishop Martin Hodges of Cologne Cathedral in the Branden Diocese."

Crown and Cavendish bowed and saluted: "Archbishop Martin, good day."

Martin sighed: "Cavendish, we are old friends. It is not surprising that he has advanced to silver with his ability, but this young man."

Flanders interrupted: "The young man will be introduced last, haha.

This is Archbishop Ivan Hall of Anthony Cathedral in Kronborg City.

This is Archbishop Leo Duma of Flame Cathedral in Saxony City.

Everyone knows His Excellency Cavendish, so I will not introduce him.

This young man is the youngest bishop in Rhine City and should be the youngest silver-level warrior in the history of the church. His Excellency Crown Moya is 26 years old this year."

His tone was flat, but he could not hide the inner boasting. The corners of his mouth were raised high, and he was obviously in a very good mood.

At this moment, Crown felt that the archbishop was like a parent whose child was admitted to a prestigious university.

Martin led the applause and laughed and scolded: "I didn't even hear any news from Flanders beforehand, it was hidden very well."

A 26-year-old silver transcendent, he would never dare to dream of such a big thing. When he was 26 years old, he was just a second-level exorcist priest.

"Congratulations to the Holy Fire Cathedral for this genius."

"Twenty-six years old?! I feel old."

Flanders enjoyed the envious gazes for a while and asked everyone to sit down.

Martin said: "Sir, we originally agreed to come to St. Peter's Cathedral after the winter, otherwise our parish may have another silver-level priest. Why come in advance?"

Flanders' face regained its calmness, and he frowned slightly:

"My old friends, something big happened in Rhine City, and I had to decide to come here in advance."

He told the airship about the reconnaissance findings in the Andes Mountains, and sighed:

"The Farouk Kingdom will not be peaceful for too long, and everyone must help me get more reinforcements.

I suspect that there is also a city of evil gods in the Andes Mountains, otherwise this strange phenomenon cannot be explained."

After leaving Hamers City and returning to Rhine City, he went to the reconnaissance site in person and found that the number of cultists and strange monsters gathered there was even larger. He estimated that the number of enemies exceeded 60,000.

Nearly one-fifth of these people were extraordinary. He really couldn't understand why there were so many extraordinary enemies.

It had only been three days since the last close reconnaissance. It was unknown how many enemies would accumulate after the long winter, and what kind of threat the Rhine Diocese would face.

When the other archbishops heard this information, they all looked solemn.

According to the church's records, the evil god did not land on the land of the Farouk Kingdom until the end of the last holy war. At that time, this place was not called Farouk.

If Flanders' analysis was correct, the pressure faced by the church was much greater than the last holy war.

Leo whispered, "What preparations have you made now?"

Flanders showed a relieved smile:

"Compared to the last holy war when we could only use the flesh and blood of the warriors to block the torrent of enemy attacks, this time we have a large number of firearms that ordinary people can use.

In this way, ordinary people can also contribute to the war. If these steel weapons can eliminate low-level extraordinary people, our chances of winning will be much greater."

Ivan touched the beard on his chin with his hand and said cautiously:

"The mortal world has changed very quickly in recent years. The power of the Church of the God of Knowledge has increased rapidly. Now it seems that it is not a bad thing."

According to the records of the church, humans can only rely on their own strength to fight various mutant monsters, and the casualties are heavy.

After the battle, only one in ten humans survived. Now that they have weapons that ordinary people can use, perhaps good changes will occur.

Martin was a little worried: "There are many monsters in the evil god's team that can bewitch people's hearts. I don't know whether the large-scale use of these firearms is good or bad."
