Chapter 328 Arrival
When Flanders and Plimpton came back again, Audrey was the only one left in the study. She was sitting with a complicated expression on her face, her eyebrows furrowed.
The Archbishop asked in shock: "Where are the Crowians?"
Audrey came back to her senses, smiled and said, "He has left."
Flandre pulled over a chair and sat in front of the other party: "Is there something unpleasant between you two? Does the master of the house have any orders? Can you tell me?"
"Actually, it's nothing. The head of the family expected that there was a high possibility that Crown would step into the whirlpool, so he asked me to ask him about his plans.
I didn't expect that he had a clear understanding of power and had no intention of stepping into it. "
There was a bitterness in Audrey's smile: "When I was his age, I was still trying my best to gain more power, so that I could obtain more resources and ensure faster progress on the path to transcendence."
Flanders scratched his head. This niece had asked him whether Croun had any intention of joining the center of the bishop's court. This was a personal privacy and internal matter of the church, and of course he could not disclose it.
However, based on his understanding of Crown, the reason why he has no desire to become the pope may be more because he does not want to take on more responsibilities.
Plimpton asked in confusion: "What whirlpool?"
What his aunt said was rather obscure. For a moment, he didn't understand what a whirlpool was and what a piercing fire was.
"You, you should pay close attention to the situation among the various churches and kingdoms. As the next candidate for the family head, your judgment on the situation in Faruk Kingdom is not qualified."
Plimpton laughed innocently and did not respond. In his mind, if you are not strong enough, you need to judge the situation from both sides. As long as you are strong enough, you can ignore many rules.
‘Am I strong enough now? ’
Touching his chest and asking himself, Plimpton found pessimistically that he was far from strong enough. Perhaps he could now reach the level of Crown to be qualified to act like this.
"Auntie, I understand."
"ah?"
This time it was Audrey's turn to be shocked. When the elders in the family said this to him in the past, the other party always looked unruly.
Even though the head of the family had given instructions, the other party agreed but did not mean what he said. Why did he listen to the advice so much today?
Flender secretly laughed in his heart, he was being stimulated!
A knight who claims to be a genius thinks that he is a person, but finds that he is far inferior to another person, and even has no hope of catching up in this life. This should be the mentality.
He said "hmm" and changed the subject:
"When will the situation here be reported to the family? Since the date has been set, it is best to inform the family as soon as possible to prepare."
Audrey's eyes regained their sharpness and she smiled: "I will write a reply now and it will be sent back through the family channels today. The head of the family will be very happy when he gets the news."
Flanders curled his lips secretly: "Greño, he is never the first to do anything. He is worried that Croun will do things radically. Of course he is happy with the current situation."
Above the sky, several goshawks soared in the warm sunshine.
The airship parking lot in Rhine City was overcrowded. The war was thunderous and rainy. The soldiers at the bottom had not even been on the battlefield, but they learned that the war was over.
There is no need to go up and work hard, most people are satisfied, only those who are eager to make achievements are not very happy, but now that the matter is over, they can only obey the order and go home.
Lannister turned around and said goodbye to the people who were seeing him off. He had wasted too much time here. Now that the state of war was lifted in Rhine City, he immediately got on the return airship.
I originally thought that I would have to go through a bloody storm to escape, but who knew that the enemy surrendered without a fight. In fact, it was not surrendered without a fight. The cultists died in large numbers of high-level extraordinary beings and two-headed chimeras.
What’s even more terrifying is that most of these achievements were made by one person.
He looked at the face with a faint smile with complicated eyes, nodded, turned around and stepped into the airship.
The strength of the Flame Lord Church can only be considered average at best on the mainland. Now that such a figure is born in the church, it may be able to go a step further.
As the airship door slowly closed, Flanders turned his head:
"You are getting engaged in a few days, why don't you wait until things are done before going out? If there are delays along the way, you may not necessarily come back before the engagement party."
Crown smiled and said: "Don't worry, Archbishop. I will make sure the time is tight and I will definitely be back in time.
If everything goes well, it will only take eight days to get back and forth, and the engagement party will be ten days later, so there will definitely be no problem. "
He understood that if he didn't come back in time, it would make the McClain family look bad, but there was no if.
This time the destination was Porto Province, southeast of Rhine City, a four-day journey by airship.
But since he was flying by himself, his speed could be a little faster.
Flanders shook his head and cursed with a smile:
"You idiot, what I meant was why it would be good to take this time to chat with Elisa more and improve our understanding."
Crown didn't agree with this view in his heart. He said perfunctorily: "There will be many opportunities to learn more about it in the future."
Although he was single in his previous life due to his strength, there was one thing he saw very clearly.
The so-called getting to know each other at this stage actually has a filter, and everyone will not show their truest side, but will only show their beautiful side as much as possible, which is not real enough.
"It's up to you," Flanders stopped admonishing, "pay attention to safety, go early and come back early."
"Goodbye," when Kroun spoke, the alloy armor had already covered his body. As his rose gold wings unfolded, he flew high into the sky. After finding his direction, he quickly left.
Although his flying speed is faster than that of an airship, he needs to know the way, which will waste some time. Fortunately, he carefully wrote down the 'coordinate buildings' along the way.
After a while, the hawk's cry came slowly, and the goshawks circling and playing in the sky chased and flew into the distance.
As dusk fell, the goshawk circled and landed in a mountain forest.
The animal trainers quickly communicated with the goshawks, analyzed the enemy's intelligence, and communicated with each other in order to compile a detailed intelligence.
Soon, the third-level animal trainer ran to the commander with a happy face and described the information in detail.
"What, the guy with the golden wings left?"
Zoro suddenly grabbed the person in charge of the animal trainer and shook him several times because he was so excited.
The animal trainer has also seen Crown show off his power, so he understands the commander's mood:
"Yes, my beast taming will never go wrong."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Solo was overjoyed. A large number of troops from the enemy's city evacuated, and the most dangerous person left. They finally waited for the best time.
‘I said it makes sense why there are such powerful people in this remote area. It turns out they were seconded from other places. ’
Zoro felt that his courage was back. He patted the trainer on the shoulder and said, "We'll explore again tomorrow. If the enemy doesn't move, sneak into the city at night."
The setting sun cast its last rays, and the golden stratus clouds gradually turned as red as a fire. After a while, the light became lighter and lighter, turning into a gray tone, and finally blended into the night.
The gray fog descended together with the night, and lay thickly on the ground.
The wilderness at night is a paradise for mutated creatures. The gray fog is stirred by shrill roars, and bloody fights and indescribable deaths are staged inside.
All of this has nothing to do with Crown.
The metal essence that made up the alloy armor was smudged by the golden light seal, and the gray mist automatically made way for him.
Now the flying thaumaturgy does not need to be controlled deliberately, it is like instinct and does not need to occupy his energy.
As he flew, he pondered the problem of breathing method integration, and would experiment with his ideas when he felt like it.
When most of the Fire Cube's spirit-controlling power was consumed, he fell from the sky and took out the golden spirit coins to absorb the spirit essence to replenish the spirit-controlling power.
The handfuls of gold spirit coins turned into fine gray sand. When his spirit control power was replenished, he began to visualize the golden light spell instead of resting.
It only took two or three hours of visualization to adjust his condition to the optimal level, and then he found the right direction and took off again.
Traveling day and night, it only took him three days to find his target.
It was midnight when Kroun arrived. He saw the plants in the alienated area shimmering with colorful spiritual lights, and the branches seemed to be twisted and danced by strong winds.
At the edge of the alienated area, there are many wooden signs erected with warnings and suspicions and red signs symbolizing danger.
Twisted spirituality can spread through the gray mist. Outside the alienated area, a large number of monsters are like controlled marionettes. They walk into this polluted area with blurred eyes, and then their bodies will light up with dark and magnificent colors.
In less than a minute, the monster will stay on the ground powerlessly, and its originally plump flesh and blood will become shriveled.
‘The monsters here are a bit strong. ’
Crown observed from a distance that the two starry sky creatures around Rhine City could only hunt within the alienated area. Although the enemies here could not step out of the alienated area, they could lure creatures outside the area into their own traps. .
The spiritual aura of pollution was rippling, constantly impacting his reason. There were waves of coolness between his eyebrows, and the golden light in the sea of consciousness was strong. All the enemy's methods had no impact on him.
After watching for a while, he decided to step into this area to see for himself. If the enemy was too strong to win, he would probably leave.
The starry sky creatures here should also be fifth-level creatures, otherwise they would never have such power.
Thinking of this, Crown became slightly excited. The stronger the enemy, the higher the proficiency gained after killing it.
The laws of the Golden Light Curse have a natural advantage against this extremely polluting law. Even if the enemy is stronger than him, he will be restrained to death.
Now that you have decided to fight, you must be fully prepared.
Starry sky creatures like to be active at night, so you should try to avoid fighting during the time when the enemy is strong, and use all available power.
Crown ignored the whispers lingering in his ears and spread his wings to leave.
He will recharge his batteries tonight and fight the enemy again tomorrow.
He carefully sensed the size of the pollution laws nearby. When the pollution in the air was reduced to a certain level, he landed and began to meditate on the Golden Light Mantra to regain his energy.
He is like a statue, sometimes shining with silver light, sometimes bursting out with golden brilliance, flowing like the sun and the moon, endlessly.
A night of silence.
The morning sun rises, and a golden sun leaps into the sky. The gray fog becomes thinner and thinner, and finally slowly dissipates under the sunlight. Twenty minutes have passed since the sun rose.
Seeing such a scene, Crown frowned slightly. The gray mist was becoming more and more resistant to sunlight.
Maybe in a few years, the brilliance of the sun, moon and stars will be obscured by gray fog.
He suddenly thought of a terrible question. The growth of plants is inseparable from photosynthesis. If the sun's rays cannot penetrate the gray fog, then where will human food come from?
‘Fuck, this really doesn’t make people worry. ’
Crown's mood suddenly became bad. It has been three years since the gray fog descended on Faruk Kingdom. At first, the gray fog would completely evaporate in the sunlight a few seconds after the sun rose.
Now, the gray fog in the Rhine City area will be 'killed' within five minutes after the sun rises.
I don't know if it's because of the special nature of this area or some other reason, but the gray fog here can last for twenty minutes under the sun.
In a few decades, gray fog may indeed cover the world throughout the day.
He shook his head gently and comforted himself: "I hope my judgment is wrong."
With his development, he should not be afraid of anything that might happen in a few decades, but if most of the human race in the world were wiped out, life would be much more boring.
Crown clenched his fists and dispelled the distracting thoughts in his heart. He couldn't control the future, but he could take care of his present.
He first used his flame breath to release the source armor. The golden and red light covered the surface of his body and then integrated into his skin.
The source of life has been integrated into the breath of life, and the source armor now has strong defense against spiritual attacks.
Die Jia continued, and the golden body armor and alloy armor were also released. Then, he released the Heart-Cleaning Curse to once again increase his resistance to various pollution laws.
The wings on his back spread out, and he quickly flew into the alienation area.
The moment he entered here, he released bullet time and activated the 5% acceleration mode.
Crown felt the cold air that penetrated his bones surrounding him, and intermittent murmurs of 'Join me' rang in his ears.
It also seemed like there were countless little snakes crawling across the sand, their fine scales rubbing against the sand. The sound of "rustling" was remembered deep in my soul, and a chill ran up my tailbone.
He has now determined that the starry sky creatures living in this area have reached the fifth level.
After confirming the enemy's ability, Crown's heart calmed down.
He adjusted his breathing and flew towards the center of the alienated area, which was most likely where the starry sky creatures landed, and the enemy was probably hiding in that area.
It is to his advantage to fight during the day. If possible, try to deal with the opponent during the day.
Suddenly, a pillar of sand rose up from the ground and blocked Croun's path.
In the center of the sand pillar, a colorful human face with a blurred face appeared.
There was an evil smile on the person's face.
