Chapter 273 Del's Pride

The gray fog covered the earth, and the moonlight could no longer penetrate the thick fog.

In Hamers City, a blazing holy fire burned on the towering bell tower of the central church, piercing a large round hole in the gray fog.

The bright moonlight shone through the round hole, and the cold moonlight sprinkled on the area near the central church. No. 9 Solent Street was also bathed in this gentleness.

At the beginning of the construction of the city, Crown had considered the increasing thickness of the gray fog, so the bell tower was built very high, with the purpose of obtaining more moon dew and moonlight when contemplating the golden light spell.

Lorraine opened the door and walked in the corridor illuminated by the bright moon.

Her movements were as agile as a cat, with an excited look on her face and stars twinkling in her eyes.

"Dong, Dong"

She knocked on the door next door. Although her movements were very light, the sound was transmitted in the quiet night, with a bit of loneliness in the quietness.

"Dong, Dong"

She knocked on the door again, as if the person inside would keep knocking if he didn't open the door.

The door was opened when she raised her hand for the third time. Leah was wearing a white fur coat with a purple V-neck silk pajamas underneath, revealing a patch of white skin under her collarbone.

"I guess it's you. It's almost twelve o'clock. Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"Good news," Lorraine waved her little fist and threw herself into the other's broad chest.

Having worked together for many years, Leah knew Lorraine's character, and she always treated her as a sister.

She rubbed the hair of the person in her arms lovingly and closed the door:

"Do you have any good news to share with me? Let's talk by the fireplace. It's going to snow soon. It's really cold."

"Yes."

Moving to the fireplace, the warm fire dyed their faces and bodies orange.

Liya added some dry wood to the fireplace, and the rich aroma of pine resin spread in the room:

"Tell me quickly, what kind of good news makes you so excited that you can't wait to come here tomorrow."

"It's good news for you too," Luo Lin turned her head slightly, her eyes curved into crescents, "I think we should have a drink."

Is it good news for me too? Liya was slightly stunned, and she had a vague guess in her heart, and her breathing couldn't help but speed up a bit.

"Wait, I'll get the wine. You're here to drink for free after all this trouble!"

Liya joked, stood up and went to a small room.

The wine cellar of the mansion has been completely filled with wine barrels by the housekeeper. As one of the recruited senior talents, she can also get a quota of ten bottles every month, and Luo Lin can also have a share.

Soon, Liya came over with two high-foot glasses with a swaying step. The color of the wine in the glass is deep red, and at first glance it looks like blood.

The crisp and pleasant clinking of glasses sounded, and Luo Lin did not keep the secret any longer, saying:

"I just took a golden light potion, and my spirit was completely purified!"

There was a tremor in her words. Although she had guessed it long ago, when she saw the black on her spirit completely faded, she felt dizzy with the huge happiness at that time.

Her spirit was more of an auxiliary type, but the frequency of use was not low, so the spiritual pollution she suffered was not less than that of combat spirit masters.

Later, she advanced to the second level, and the signs of being corrupted by the spirit became increasingly obvious, and she gradually had auditory hallucinations.

All spirit masters knew what this meant, and she could not remember how many nights she cried silently.

"Good, good, very good."

Although she was mentally prepared, when Liya really heard the news, she could no longer suppress the smile on her face, and tears flowed from her eyes. If the other party's spirit could be completely purified, her spirit would definitely be able to be.

The spiritual pollution brought by the spirit can be purified, and even the spirit can be completely purified, which means that they no longer have to live on thin ice.

She was more polluted than Lorraine, and it would take some time for the spirit to be purified, but it did not affect her joy at all.

"Captain, why are you crying? This is great news."

"I'm just too happy. Come on, drink this glass of wine. Let's get drunk today."

The two spirit masters raised their necks and drank the rich wine.

Liya took out all the wine she had allocated. The two chatted and drank one glass after another.

"The bishop's potion gave us a second life. Now that the hidden danger of the spirit has been eliminated, we can exert more strength."

"Well," Lorraine nodded, "The bishop told us a lot of things when he left. I think there will be a war. It's time for us to repay him."

. . . .

At the same time, Del closed a fairy tale book and said lovingly:

"Janice, it's late, you have to go to bed."

After his daughter returned home from the training base, she could enjoy a two-day vacation. He said hello to Rubart and did not go to work in the blacksmith shop, but stayed with his daughter.

Three days ago, Aaron Cole became a senior blacksmith. Now all the blacksmiths who participated in the special training have become senior blacksmiths. It won't have a big impact if he doesn't go for two days.

His daughter can only leave the base for two days a month. He cherishes this rare time to enjoy family happiness.

"But I'm not sleepy."

Janice blinked and asked cleverly:

"When will the bishop come back? I miss the fish he cooks."

Her eyes showed a look of longing, and a trace of crystal flowed from the corner of her mouth.

The old father was jealous. Although his daughter also said that she missed him, it was obviously not as deep as it is now.

"Haha, that's really unfortunate. The bishop said he had to go to the Holy See to do something very important, but he didn't say when he would be back."

"I hope I can see the bishop when I come back from the base next time. Dad, you must buy a lot of fish and ask the bishop to cook it for you."

"Okay, okay," Del agreed with a smile. The bishop was very busy now. He didn't think the other party had time to be a chef, but he couldn't bear to extinguish his daughter's thoughts.

My daughter is now tanner than before, so she must be training very hard.

"Dad, the instructor said that I have reached the minimum standard to become a transcendent. If I strengthen my foundation, I can be promoted to a transcendent."

"real?"

"Of course, how could I lie to you!"

Janice pouted dissatisfiedly. She was very angry that her father looked down on her.

"Haha, I'm so happy. In the future, our Smith family will also give birth to a super strong man."

Del stood up excitedly, walked back and forth a few steps and then sat back down.

My daughter is not yet eleven years old. Even if she becomes a transcendent one year later, she will only be twelve years old.

At this age, most people are just children who don't understand anything.

He once specifically asked the instructor at the training base and learned that the youngest extraordinary person in the church's records was eleven years old. Doesn't it mean that his daughter has a chance to become one of the small group of people who stand at the top of the world? !

Del stood up again and walked over to his daughter, then knelt down.

He put his hands on his daughter's shoulders and said firmly:

"Janice, if you graduate from the training base, I will ask the Bishop to accept you as a student. You have the qualifications to become a top powerhouse."

Janice nodded in understanding and said without hesitation: "Okay, father."

She was not very clear about what the top experts meant, but she knew that students who became bishops would have a greater hope of eating the delicacies cooked by the bishops.

The bishop once promised to make her a fish but has not yet fulfilled it. After so long, two should not be too much.

Another thing is that she really likes small animals because she can 'understand' the meaning of their languages.

The bishop has two pets, both of which she loves very much.

. . . .

The thick curtains were drawn in the fraternity's conference room, and no light came in from the outside world.

Several fist-sized magic stones emitted a snow-white and soft light, making the room extremely bright.

Feili took off the pointed hat on her head and placed it on the table, revealing her chestnut hair.

She cleared her throat and said solemnly:

“In recent times, the church’s airships have frequently flown to the northwest.

His Excellency Rondo Villa of the Security Bureau also sent an airship to investigate, and found that there were a large number of cultists gathering on the outskirts of the Andes, numbering tens of thousands.

The church's campaign to eradicate the cultists has continued, and the cultists have been forced to hide deep in the Andes Mountains.

The living conditions there are harsh, and logically there shouldn't be so many cultists there. "

Yennefer narrowed her eyes slightly: "What is the proportion of extraordinary people among cultists?"

"I don't know. The officer who went to investigate is only a second-level knight. He is too far away to tell the enemy's strength."

"Why don't you come closer for reconnaissance?"

Feili shook her head slightly: "The enemy has flying beasts. Your Excellency Rondo asked us to send a high-level warlock to assist in the investigation. The round trip will take about two days. Which of you can spare the time to go?"

She is the top person in charge of the Brotherhood branch, and she usually does the work of coordinating with other forces.

Kalfan responded coldly: "I've been busy refining special potions recently and can't leave. There are currently two warlocks in the Brotherhood who have reached the third level of advancement."

Feicart said: "Lord Lannister specifically asked me to refine as much mithril as possible, but I don't have time to do it."

"Me too, I want to refine mithril."

Roger responded lazily, turned around and asked:

"Fekart, when did Lord Lannister come to Rhine City? This is a silver-level warlock. According to the rules, the headquarters must inform us in advance."

"How do I know? Lord Lannister must have his own considerations."

Roger curled his lips slightly. Not long after the other party came back, a top warlock appeared in Rhine City. He didn't believe it if the two of them had no contact.

A few days ago, Lannister met with the high-ranking warlock of the Brotherhood branch in the church. He felt that something unexpected must have happened, otherwise a silver warlock would not choose to stay in the church.

He lowered his head and thought about what had happened.

Yennefer straightened her hair on her forehead and said:

"I went to assist in the investigation. It's going to start snowing on a large scale soon. It's very unusual for the cultists to gather at this time.

A few days ago, Flanders asked the Strange Object Manufacturing Association to mass-produce repeating firearms. Now that he thinks about it, he should know what happened.

Feili, have you gone to the Holy Fire Cathedral to inquire? "

She smelled the breath of war. Because Flanders had previously suppressed the Oddity Manufacturing Association's research on repeating firearms, she decided to go to the target area to check the situation.

Feili's expression became solemn: "I have already been to the Holy Fire Cathedral, but I did not see Flanders. Both he and Cavendi left the Rhine City and are said to have gone to the Holy See."

Feikat sneered and said: "It should be the influence caused by Lord Lannister. The arrival of a silver warlock obviously made the high-ranking church unable to sit still."

Kalfan nodded in agreement: "It's very possible."

The appearance of the silver warlock means that the highest combat power of the Brotherhood is on par with the popes of various churches.

The confidentiality of the Holy Fire Cathedral is very good. The senior leaders of the Brotherhood do not know that there are already several silver-level strongmen in the Rhine City Diocese.

Fili ignored the echo of Fekat and the others and asked, "When will you leave?"

Yennefer said, "The sooner the better. I can leave at any time."

She did not think that the main reason for Flanders to go to the Holy See was because of Lannister. The Church of the Lord of Fire has stood on the land of the Kingdom of Farouk for countless years. With their background, they should not be afraid of a silver warlock.

If her guess is true, the reason why the cardinal and his party went to the Holy See is probably because of the gathering of cultists, so Yennefer is eager to go to the Andes Mountains.

The gathering of a large number of cultists means that a high-intensity war is about to break out.

. . . .

Clown rubbed his temples and walked out of the secret library of St. Peter's Cathedral. The sunlight outside was a little dazzling. He stayed in the shadows for a while to adapt before he felt better.

While waiting for the return of the investigation team sent by the Pope, he stayed here and did not participate in social activities.

He had already obtained the training method for the fourth stage of fire breath. There were only dozens of books in the library, and he had already read them all.

A large part of the books here introduced the evil gods and their affiliated families that appeared in the last holy war, which not only broadened his horizons but also brought a lot of proficiency.

[Scholar of Demons: 4058/5000; Level 3]

This skill that was forgotten by Klauen in the corner of his memory increased his proficiency by more than 2,000 points. Knowledge skills are the easiest skills to improve, but also the most difficult to improve.

After the proficiency of the Scholar of Demons increased, several potion formulas automatically appeared in his mind.

Some of the evil gods' followers will grow special organs in their bodies, which have special effects after being refined into potions.

For example, if the Deep Diver can grow to more than five meters, a gray spherical colloid will grow in his head, which can restore physical strength and energy very quickly.

What's even more amazing is that the potion made with this thing as the main ingredient can be transformed into the source of life or holy power, which can allow people to maintain a long-term high-intensity battle.

Theo came from a distance and walked quickly to Clown's side:

"Sir, good news, I heard that a big merchant from Cintra, Rivergaz, came to Bray City. He has several bucket-sized raw stones in his hands, one of which is the kind you need."
