Chapter 319 A Discerning Eye
The next day, Crown stayed in the mansion and did not go out.
He had just won a victory and there was no follow-up action at the moment. He didn't need to go to churches and military camps every day.
After working hard all night last night, I used up all the raw materials and refined a total of seven clear heart pendants. My proficiency in making rare objects has reached 1631 points.
After stealing half a day of free time in Fusheng, he rarely cooked in person. He made a few side dishes, drank by himself, and sat watching the clouds rolling in the sky.
Unknowingly, it has been more than three years since he came to this world. This is the most leisurely and comfortable morning for him.
The aroma of food tempted several tamed animals to poke their heads in and out, but they didn't get anything.
He didn't even have enough for such a small amount, so how could he take it out?
As noon approaches, the glass is empty and the plate is empty.
He was about to end his laziness when Billy hurried over, holding a bamboo tube in both hands:
"Your Excellency, a secret message from Hamers City."
Crown's eyes narrowed slightly and he immediately sat up straight.
Two red copper threads are wrapped around the bamboo tube, which means the situation is very urgent.
A blade appeared on the tip of his index finger, and he easily cut open the bamboo tube. He opened the rolled-up page, scanned it ten lines at a time, and said:
"Reply immediately and I will send Lorraine back to assist him. Then you go to the third camp and inform Melissa and Lorraine to come back to see me.
Also, go to the Second Army Camp to find Lord Fanny Sith and ask her how she plans to deal with it. "
A major change occurred in the mining area and production has now been suspended. However, steel production is related to bomb manufacturing and must not be stopped. It must be dealt with as soon as possible.
Del needed to sit in the military camp on his behalf, so he sent Melissa to assist Lorraine and go together.
"Yes," Billy understood the urgency of the matter and trotted away.
Not long after Billy left, Fanny came to the mansion.
"Sir Crown, has Nick reported to you about the mining area?"
She carefully looked at Croun from top to bottom quickly, and learned from her father that the guy in front of her had advanced to the fifth level. At this moment, she felt mixed emotions in her heart.
There was both joy and a little worry about the strength of the allies.
This ally is progressing too fast, and the gap between them will become wider and wider in the future.
If you cannot maintain an equal dialogue relationship, the previous friendship will be lost every time you use it.
Is the potential of the Son of God's bloodline really so terrifying? !
Crown nodded slightly, pointed to the seat next to him and said:
"I just received it. I also sent Billy to ask for your opinion. Please sit down first and we will discuss it slowly. What are your plans?"
Fanny sat halfway in the chair, leaned forward slightly, and said:
"Safety production in the mining area is very urgent at the moment, and I talked about it with my father.
My father said that the possibility of fighting breaking out recently was very small, and he agreed that I should return to Hamers City to help deal with it. Do you have any suggestions? "
"I haven't seen the scene, so I can't make a conclusion easily. But I guess it is an evil creature with strong pollution.
As long as it belongs to the category of flesh and blood creatures, there must be weaknesses. The key is to find this weakness.
When you leave, I will lend you a small thing, just for this situation. "
Two hours later, Melissa and Lorraine galloped back to 36 Baker Street.
Crown passed the message from Nick and asked them to read it again and said:
"The main purpose of sending you back this time is to use Lorraine's power to help check how the enemy attacks, and then cooperate with Mr. Nick to eradicate the enemy and restore production in the mining area as soon as possible."
After speaking, he took out four clear heart pendants and handed them to several people in turn: "Just wear them on your body. It will automatically form a defense. Give the extra one to Nick."
Then he whistled again, and Fokine flew out from the backyard of the mansion, catching Buster underneath him.
"I'm sending Fujin and the others to you. These two are already third-level extraordinary creatures."
He passed on the situation in the Hamers mining area through Taoism. After the two tamed beasts advanced, their intelligence improved, and their understanding was equivalent to that of an eleven or twelve-year-old human boy.
Because the two tame beasts have been fed with talisman water for a long time, and now they have learned the golden light mantra, they are not afraid of ordinary pollution at all.
"Both Fujin and Buster have entered the third level of transcendence?!"
Lorraine opened her eyes wide, as if she had seen a ghost.
She recalled that when she and Crown met for the first time, these two pets were also with each other. At that time, these two could only be regarded as pets, and she herself was already a first-order transcendent.
Now, the two beasts that the bishop originally kept as pets have reached the third level, and she is still spinning around in the second level. Thinking about it, she feels inexplicably ashamed.
Melissa's expression wasn't much better. She bit her lower lip and lowered her head, wanting to find a gap in the ground to get in.
‘I thought I was only one step away from being promoted to the third level, so I was a little complacent. Who knew it would be inferior to the tame animals raised by the master.’
Fanny shook her head with a complicated expression and said with a wry smile:
"The matter is urgent, let's set off. The Archbishop has learned about the situation in the mining area and has prepared the airship."
Crown stood up and said in a deep voice: "Be careful! May the Lord of Fire protect you."
"Goodbye, Your Excellency."
Fujin excitedly grabbed Buster and flew it up. He had to do related tasks every day. He had been looking for a chance to go out and play for a long time, and he finally got the chance today.
The three men and two beasts walked out of the mansion, and the servants had prepared their horses at the door.
Looking at the other two people who looked troubled, Fanny waved to them to come forward and said softly:
"According to reliable information, Mr. Crown is now a fifth-level transcendent."
"ah?!"
Melissa looked at each other in confusion. A few months ago, the bishop told them to advance to the silver level. It has only been half a year, how come they have become fifth-level extraordinary beings? This is unreasonable
"I didn't believe it at first, but I had to believe it. When comparing people to others, when I change the comparison object, I feel much more at ease."
Fanny got on the horse and slapped the horse's hindquarters hard: "Drive!"
The horses were in pain and ran wildly.
Melissa sighed leisurely: "Let's go too. The stronger the bishop is, the easier it will be for us."
After sending Fanny and others away, Crown observed Arcturus for a while and drew a few sketches.
In the future, he will need to build a suitable suit of armor for this giant bear, and now he needs to think carefully about how to do it.
If he releases his wild rage, the tamed beast will enter a state of madness, which will not only increase its combat power but also increase its size. The armor needs to be designed with a stretchable area.
However, this matter was important but not urgent. He still had plenty of time to think about it slowly. He would have to wait at least a few years for the giant bear to mature into a fixed size before he would start forging it.
Three days later.
Crown still stayed at the mansion, and the reconnaissance airship sent out every day brought news that the cultists in the Andes Mountains had abandoned the camp and there was now no one there.
Although they didn't know the real reason why the enemy left, everyone in Rhine City breathed a sigh of relief.
Flanders held a military meeting to report the situation and decided to start the arsenal at full capacity in the coming days.
If after bombing this base built in the mountains, the enemy still does not gather and move out of the mountains, it will be reported to the Holy See and the people will be released back home in batches.
The brothers and parish troops who came to support were even more delighted when they learned of this situation.
If there is an encounter, I don’t know how many soldiers will die in a foreign land. This ending will be happy for everyone.
There is also good news. A letter from the Hamers Mining District said that the situation has been brought under control and that the enemy's weakness has been found.
Thanks to Forkin, the crow breathed fire when attacked, and it was discovered that the possessed monsters were afraid of the heat.
The mining area is currently checking all areas, and production will be resumed in a few days.
It was at dusk at this moment, and Croun had just finished meditating on the Golden Light Spell, when Flanders unexpectedly came to visit.
After entertaining each other for a dinner, the two of them came to the study.
Flanders was a little worried: "I always feel that the cultists have other plots. If the troops from other parishes gradually withdraw and the enemy comes back, how can we resist it?
But not withdrawing the troops is not a solution. Now the population of the parish is increasing rapidly, and the food pressure is extremely high.
Nowadays, the number of births in all parishes has greatly increased, and each parish will not be too rich in food.
The evil god has not yet revived, and perhaps humans will have disputes over food. "
Crown held his chin with one finger and echoed:
"If we calculate based on the current birth rate, the food gap problem will become very serious in a few years."
The spiritual concentration of the world increases, plants grow luxuriantly, and food harvests are abundant.
But if the population increases too fast, the excess food produced by the harvest will gradually fall below consumption.
At that time, new conflicts will break out among humans over survival supplies.
He paused and continued:
“But this is all for the future. More and more people will be corroded by pollution, the birth rate will be high, and the total population will not increase so fast.
If we are worried about the resurgence of cultists, we can apply to the Holy See and order troops from neighboring parishes to prepare for support.
In addition, our airship reconnaissance scope will be deeper and we will strive to obtain the most timely intelligence. As long as the cultists regroup, we can take precautions in advance. "
It is simply unrealistic to go to the mountainous areas to actively fight. The Rhine City and Parish can only passively defend and block the enemy when the cultists are advancing.
Flanders nodded in agreement. He hesitated and asked:
"After the war, if the church arranges for you to serve as cardinal in another diocese, would you agree?"
He stared at the other person slightly nervously, waiting for an answer.
Crown shook his head slightly and joked: "Forget it about the red archbishop, if you ask me to be the pope, you can consider it."
As the Pope, he may have some knowledge that can only be known by the Pope alone. He would like to check the church records to see if there is any way to achieve the Stigmata Gold. What level of life forms do those gods currently belong to?
Of course, he is not in a hurry now. He will not consider these things until he becomes a sixth-level transcendent. Maybe he can also get some information from the McClain family.
Flanders was stunned and felt relieved. If the other party continued to stay in the Rhine City Parish, the safety here would be better guaranteed.
He does not believe that the cultists have more fifth-level transcendent beings. As long as Crown continues to stay here, his arrangements will be more relaxed.
Another very important point is that the other party does not desire power, which does not affect him from giving orders, nor does he dictate his orders.
The archbishop leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice:
“If you really want to compete for the Pope, it’s not impossible.
Osman's life is short, and when he returns to the arms of our Lord, we can choose you to be our leader. "
In the past, he could better deal with the evil god by uniting more people, but if his own forces can produce super masters, then it is not impossible to be hostile to the Saxon family.
Besides, if the Saxon family learns that Crown has such strength, even if they want to use force to obtain the position of pope, they will think twice.
The higher the level of the transcendent, the less likely it is that low-level transcendents will be used to surround and kill them.
Crown scratched his head. As far as he knew, it was not a problem for the Pope to live another ten or twenty years.
But if he had spent such a long time meditating on the golden light mantra and studying the breathing method, I'm afraid he wouldn't be far away from the golden stigmata. Would he still need to be the pope at that time? He can definitely be a leader.
He waved his hand and said: "I was just joking. I am not very interested in becoming the Pope. I just think that the Pope may have more secret knowledge than us."
Flanders nodded slightly, noncommittal.
He began to calculate in his mind how likely it was that Crown would become the Pope.
With the opponent's current advancement momentum, level six is no longer a dream. If he helps with lobbying, he may become the pope.
After the war is over, the news that the other party has become a fifth-level transcendent will definitely be known to all the forces. Maybe the news will spread completely without waiting for the end of the war.
The emergence of a pope from the Rhineland Diocese does not mean that he has a unique vision and an eye for pearls?
After getting the answer he longed for, Flanders was in a good mood, chatted for a while, stood up and left.
There is no action for the time being, so Croun stays at home every day, enjoying the peaceful experience.
Cook occasionally to reward your hardworking self.
On the other hand, Eliza would come over every day, and having a beautiful woman accompany her to chat for a while was a kind of refreshment.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and five days pass in the blink of an eye.
In the early morning, Crown released the bullets and began to practice the Barbarian Bone Breathing Technique. Suddenly, he felt that his energy and blood were running a little faster, and he took a step forward and reached his position faster than expected.
In his eyes, an hourglass with a brass base flashed, and the whole world seemed to stop at this moment, and everything turned into a monotonous gray.
The vision passed quickly, and Kroun immediately thought of the hourglass of time. Only this function of controlling spirits could cause the current phenomenon.
He stopped breathing far away, and his consciousness sank into the sea of consciousness.
At this moment, with the hourglass of time as the center, circles of silver-gray runes spread outwards, while an ancient and vicissitudes of atmosphere filled the sea of consciousness.
After a while, when the light and shadow disappeared, Croun saw that the shape of the hourglass of time had grown much larger, and under the base of the hourglass, there was another bright silver star.
