Chapter 291 Hunting

A week later, Crown took an airship to Rhine City.

With unremitting efforts in the past few days, the flying thaumaturgy has been promoted to the second level.

[Flying Thaumaturgy: 106/15000; Level 2]

Now his agility in flight is comparable to that of a bird, and his speed exceeds that of Fujin.

With more confidence, he made plans to head to the Andes.

After the skill advanced, he did not continue to practice, but took time to use the golden light seal to smudge the tin essence into the magic-breaking metal.

The tin essence is very light, but the feather blade it forms is sharper than ordinary extraordinary weapons.

William has prepared various supplies, food, magic tents, etc., so staying in the wild for half a month will not be a problem.

In addition, he also carries more than 400 rounds of artillery shells, which can completely carry out a thermal weapon strike on the cultists' base.

After getting off the airship, Crown went to the Holy Fire Cathedral to look for Flanders.

After seeing the archbishop, he took out the gift he had prepared: "I was lucky enough to extract some silver marrow and give it to you for a taste."

"It actually happened?"

Flanders was slightly surprised when he took the rune crystal bottle. He carefully checked the color of the silver marrow and nodded slightly:

"Well, not bad. From the appearance, it looks exactly the same as the finished product in the record. Have you tried it? How is the effect?"

He originally had no hope of getting the silver marrow.

Although he is not an alchemist, he also understands that purifying the blood of flesh-contaminated alchemy creatures is a very difficult task.

Now I have obtained a little silver marrow, which is an unexpected surprise.

Crown smiled and said: "I feel the effect is good. After taking the silver marrow, the silver blood in the body has indeed increased a little, and I even feel that the breathing method is running more smoothly.

I brought a total of three pieces of silver marrow, both to Lord Cavendi and the Lannister. "

Others don't have a golden wall and can't see real progress, so their answers are relatively vague and they all use subjective words.

He paused and then said:

"How is the recent airship renovation going? Is there any next action plan?"

"You are very proactive this time!"

Flanders felt a little relieved. Based on his understanding of Kroun, he would not take the initiative to do anything unless necessary. He would only do any tasks if he ordered them in advance.

The cultist base in the Andes Mountains is very powerful. Now the Rhine City Diocese is facing a huge threat, and it seems that the other party has also mobilized its initiative to do things.

"The transformation of the airship will take some time. I have carefully considered that we must have a large-scale airship. At that time, we will be able to catch the enemy by surprise if we carry out bombing missions.

In addition, the enemy's air forces must be eliminated first, otherwise the safety of the bombing airship cannot be guaranteed.

These days, whenever the weather is fine, I will send an airship to conduct reconnaissance, and I have a rough idea of ​​the enemy's defense measures. "

The archbishop took out an accurate map and described the situation in the enemy camp in detail. His tone was a little heavy:

"On the periphery of the cultists' base, there are reconnaissance stone towers with a small number of beholders.

In the center of the camp, there is a black fortress, which should be their central system.

After these days of reconnaissance, I found that the number of two-headed chimeras exceeded the initial estimate. There are currently nearly thirty chimeras observed. "

If according to the information obtained from the last battle, each Chimera is equipped with two third-level cultist handlers, then the number of enemy third-level extraordinary creatures will reach an astonishing ninety or so.

At the third level, this number can crush the Rhine City troops.

Even with the support of the Holy See, the battle will be difficult.

There is a more terrifying question. The enemy's third-level transcendent has such a large base, so how much combat effectiveness will the silver level have?

They are likely to fall into a battle in which all levels of power have no advantage. If this happens, the Rhine City Parish may not be able to survive.

If the Rhine City Parish is lost and the town of Lorent cannot hold on, then the Farouk Kingdom will face the invasion of two evil forces at the same time.

"And there are so many Chimeras?"

Crown's words were full of surprise. He could obtain enough silver marrow by breaking the bones of so many Chimeras and bleeding them.

Advancing to the fifth level of transcendence is not a dream, it is a certainty.

"Yes, this is just the number of chimeras. Many cultists are also proficient in animal taming, and the eagles they raise can also be used as excellent scouts.

I have given a death order to the Strange Object Manufacturing Association to develop a weapon that can target high-speed flying targets.

If these flying units are not dealt with, it will be difficult to carry out bombing plans, and even night missions are unsafe. Chimeras do not suffer from night blindness. "

"Has the message been passed back to the Holy See? More support is needed to ensure the safety of the diocese."

"Not yet. I plan to implement the bombing plan and see how the situation goes. The Rhine City and Parish cannot afford to make any mistakes, otherwise the north of Faruk will fall. Even in the last holy war, the enemy did not enter Faruk on a large scale. within the territory.”

Flanders looked solemn, with a hint of exhaustion in his eyes:

"Why do you think of going back and forth to the Holy Fire Cathedral? If you just brought back the silver marrow, you would probably ask someone else to bring it here."

You really understand me. Crown leaned forward against the sofa and said with a smile:

"I recently learned a new skill. I also went around the cultists' camp to see if I could kill a few more chimeras."

"Cultists are not idiots, on the contrary, they are very cunning, and the last defeat taught them enough lessons.

If you want to repeat the old tricks, it will be difficult to achieve the same results as last time. We cannot fly and fight in the air, which is the biggest drawback. "

"You can't, I can!"

"What?" Flanders laughed, "You can fly?! Did I hear correctly?"

Crown stood up. No matter how many words he said, it would not be more convincing than showing off his abilities.

He looked around the room. Well, the space was quite large, and he could fly.

"Archbishop, you know that I have also practiced as a spirit controller part-time. My ability to control spirits is related to metals. Just take a look!"

Bronze-colored alloy armor covered his body, and then the sound of cracking silk was heard. A pair of beautiful rose gold wings spread out on his back, and the clothes on his body turned into pieces.

With his wings fluttering, he flew up gracefully. A strong wind seemed to blow in the room, with rags and papers flying everywhere.

"Okay, stop, you are going to completely destroy my house."

Flanders's eyes flashed with intelligence. He didn't expect that the spirit control could provide such a practical ability:

"How fast can you fly now, and how long will it last?"

If the flying speed is fast enough and the time is long enough, it is equivalent to unlocking a fourth-level combat power, and it is easy to deal with the Chimera's attack.

"Based on the Chimera's speed last time, my flying speed is slightly faster than the enemy's, and my continuous flying time can reach six hours.

Even if I am attacked by a large number of Chimeras, I am not afraid. My flexibility is much better than that of the huge Chimeras. "

"Okay, okay", Flender excitedly patted his companion on the shoulder. In this way, a huge problem could be solved.

The opponent has very superb shooting and archery skills, and it is easy to take down those tamed animals.

"Kill a Chimera and the church will reward you with three hundred gold spirit coins. Kill any third-level creature and you will be rewarded with one hundred and fifty gold spirit coins."

Crown was stunned and said jokingly:

"This reward is a bit shabby. The cost of cultivating a third-level creature is not only 150 gold spirit coins, right?"

He didn't expect to get a reward. As one of the top leaders of the Rhine City Diocese, he couldn't stay out of it if a war broke out.

"Don't be too little. Having said that, besides gold spirit coins, I don't know what else to reward you. The church has also stored precious materials, but they have all decayed with the passage of time. The things in the secret vault now are all recent It has been slowly preserved over hundreds of years.”

The archbishop changed the subject. Of course he knew that this reward was not attractive. A fourth-level silver powerhouse was already at the top of the world. It was not difficult to obtain something.

Crown shrugged and said, "Well, it's not bad to get gold spirit coins."

"Is there anything else I need to prepare for you?"

"Of course, I brought a bunch of supplies, and I need some space-based wonders that can store things."

Flanders thought about it for a moment and said:

"Space Rare Item. This thing is relatively rare, but there are two rings in the secret vault. Each one has about half a cubic meter of space. I will lend it to you first."

The archbishop opened the door and ordered Harry:

"Go find Cavendi and Daniel and tell them that I need to open the secret vault."

"As you command, Your Majesty."

After a while, Cavendi rushed over. Crown took out a piece of silver marrow and gave it to him, who thanked him profusely.

Cavendi did not expect to obtain silver marrow, and he also knew how difficult it was to refine silver marrow.

Soon, Daniel also arrived at the scene.

Flanders cleared his throat and said:

"I need to open the secret vault and take out two space rings. Mr. Crown needs them to perform the mission."

Daniel asked: "I don't know what tasks I need to use it for?"

"Crown needs to go deep into the Andes Mountains to carry out special hunting missions, so he needs to be equipped."

"Uh, okay, no problem."

Daniel also knew the situation in the Andes Mountains, and these things had not been hidden from him. The archbishop also wanted to use his hand to convey the news to the Pope, telling the Holy See how dangerous the current situation was.

The secret vault is in the sanctuary of the church. The bronze door has reliefs of angels holding flails and shields on the left and right. The holy emblem of the church protrudes above the middle of the two doors.

The three archbishops took out their tokens and opened the bronze door.

Crown also followed them into the secret vault, where he found a large amount of gold spirit coins, high-purity holy water, various rare materials, and more extraordinary equipment. He also saw several soul-infused weapons.

However, these things are of little use to him. The soul-infused weapon is a flail, and he is not good at using flails.

Besides, he possesses the fury of thunder and is not greedy for these flails.

After Flanders found the ring, he closed the door to the secret vault, handed the ring to Crown, and told him the corresponding spell.

The ring is simple in style, with a dull brass color and a simple vein-like pattern engraved on it.

Crown put the thick ring on his finger and recited the incantation silently.

The ring immediately shrinks and fits perfectly on the finger, not loose or tight.

He stirred the Fire Cube, and a walnut-sized, round bronze metal bead appeared in his hand.

Wrapping the ring with mental power, he felt as if part of his consciousness fell into a whirlpool and came to a special space.

This space was gray and a regular rectangular block.

His mind turned, and a metal bead appeared in the space.

He sensed this space, turned his mind again, and the metal bead returned to his hand.

"It's amazing," Clown exclaimed. If this kind of space ring was placed on Earth, it would definitely be a smuggling weapon.

. . . .

The next morning, snowflakes floated in the sky, and two small airships took off from Rhine City and headed for the Andes Mountains.

Clown looked down from the window, and Rhine City became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared from sight.

He turned his head and said gently:

"In fact, I can go there by myself, just use the airship to send me to the outskirts of the mountains."

For this operation, all the fourth-level extraordinary people in the diocese went out again.

In addition, he brought ten bishops, and the City Hall and the Warlock Brotherhood each sent out five third-level extraordinary people. Most of the high-level people in Rhine City came to the scene.

Flanders shook his head slightly and replied, "This is your first time to carry out a hunting mission alone. I am worried. If the enemy has any hidden means, there will be someone to take care of it.

If this mission goes well, you can come alone in the future.

The reason why I brought so many people is that I want them to see what the strength of the enemies they will face in the future will be like."

"Yes, it's always right to be careful. You are facing a group of cultists and evil gods."

Lannister smiled. After receiving the silver marrow, he has been smiling all the time.

After identification, the quality of the silver marrow is very good. Although there is only a small amount, it can greatly speed up the speed of magic condensation and make the heart produce more silver blood. He decided to use the silver marrow in the late stage of the fourth level.

The warlock seemed to remember something and asked:

"It's almost the end of the month. How are you preparing the golden light potion?"

The potion is the most important mission of his trip. This cannot be delayed. The earlier the potion is obtained, the earlier the brotherhood can cultivate a better spirit master.

"Relax, the delivery will not be delayed."

The airship landed at the place where the last battle took place, and Clown stepped out of the airship step by step.

Along with the sound of footsteps, the alloy armor wrapped around his whole body, just like a Saint Seiya wearing a holy garment.

The rose gold wings spread, and Clown flew high into the wind and snow.

"Wow, for real?!"

Lannister was stunned. When he was on the airship, he had been wondering how the other party could carry out the hunting mission alone.

Now that the truth was revealed, he was even more shocked and asked:

"Archbishop, what is this ability? Is it a secret skill developed by the church?"

"No, if it is a secret skill, there is no reason why you can't do it."

Yennefer saw Clown, who looked cool, flying away, and turned her head away. At this moment, Geralt also looked at her.

The four looked at each other, and both understood that this flying ability should be the ability of a spirit master.
