Chapter 347 The Storm Lord Church's Plan

Three days passed in a flash. Clown didn't need to think about so many problems. He spent all his free time on visualizing the Golden Light Mantra.

After so many years of persistence, it has become a habit to gain experience when there is nothing to do, almost instinctive.

Flanders also happily came to visualize together every day. In his words, even if the progress is small, it will be a big gain if it accumulates.

"Dong, Dong"

There was a light knock on the door outside the room, followed by Del's words:

"Your Excellencies, the airship is ready to land."

When the cycle ended, Clown stopped visualizing and summoned the golden wall.

[Golden Light Mantra: 155270/300000; Fourth Level]

During the flight, most of his time was spent on visualization. Even if he did not practice the Breath of the Flame Dragon to improve efficiency, his daily proficiency increased more than usual.

Flanders also finished his visualization and said contentedly:

"Visualizing with you is a wonderful enjoyment, and I have new insights every time."

When he visualized by himself, he could not achieve the current efficiency, which can be seen intuitively from the speed of obtaining Sunfire Liquid and Moon Dew.

The Archbishop also secretly compared the visualization method with the church meditation method and found that the visualization method was more effective in cultivating silver blood.

Since then, he has shifted more energy to visualizing the Golden Light Mantra.

You are so lucky! Clown secretly curled his lips. Now the Dao Seed holders all regard him as an experience bag.

If it weren't for the profit from the Golden Light Dao Seed, he would not be willing to share the Dao Seed.

Apart from other things, the extra proficiency he gained from the Dao Seed every day has exceeded the gains from his hard visualization.

When other people practice secret methods, the higher the level, the slower the progress. Now he is actually getting faster and faster. This kind of secret joy is not worth telling to outsiders.

After a moment of turbulence, the airship landed steadily at the parking lot.

Flanders observed the situation outside through the window and said:

"The carriage of the Holy See is waiting outside. Let's go. I wonder how many of those old friends have arrived now."

He turned his head and said with envy:

"You are now the strongest person in the church. I wonder what you feel?"

Klauen thought seriously for a moment and shook his head gently: "No special feeling."

Flanders grinned:

"If I achieve the fifth-level extraordinary, I will definitely treat all my relatives and friends, and then return to the Kingdom of Budamia in glory."

If you don't return to your hometown when you are rich, it's like walking in the night in brocade clothes.

Klauen laughed, and there was a little loneliness in his smile:

"I only have one relative left, but as I become stronger and stronger, I can feel the distance when I am with my sister.

I don't have many friends either. Now there are only Nick and the others.

Zach Town is my hometown, but there is no longing left there now. The people I used to know are gone."

Flanders sighed softly. He remembered the tragic death of his old friend and lost interest in talking. The two walked out of the airship in silence.

Theo was already waiting outside the airship. He bowed and smiled kindly:

"Your Excellency, you have worked hard on the journey. Please get on the carriage. His Holiness asked me to wait here. He wants to see you as soon as possible."

"Lead the way," Fland was not surprised that Theo was waiting here. He knew that the person the Pope really wanted to see was Crown, so the other party would not summon him alone.

With the resurrection of the evil god, the birth of the first fifth-level extraordinary person on the continent is of great significance.

For the Church of the Lord of Fire, a top-level strongman may be able to lead the church to greater glory.

Osman stood with his back to the light. He was wearing a moon-white pope's robe, holding a scepter with a ruby ​​on the top in his hand, and his face was solemn.

Theo knocked gently on the open door and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, His Excellency Crown and His Holiness Fland are already waiting in the reception room."

Recently, he found that the Pope's temper became more and more strange, and he often got angry because of some trivial things. Now he was cautious when talking to the Pope.

"Well, I understand," the Pope turned around and waved his hand:

"Let's go, this time let me take a good look at the first fifth-order extraordinary person on the continent."

Theo quickly opened the door completely and followed the Pope who came out in small steps.

In the reception room, Clown sat on a red velvet silver-studded high-back chair, looking at the person pacing back and forth in front of him, and smiled:

"Archbishop, you are not acting normal today."

Flanders frowned: "The meeting of the cardinals is about to be held, and St. Peter's Basilica is actually repairing the magic circle, and it is said to be the decision of the Pope. I feel a little weird."

At this time, it is not suitable for work that affects the image.

"Whatever, we will only stay here for a few days. We will leave after the meeting. What kind of environment here has nothing to do with us?!"

"This is St. Peter's Basilica. In the future, the Divine Kingdom of the Lord of Fire will descend over this city. How can the magic circle here be moved casually?

I must protest at the cardinals' meeting to urge the pope to stop this stupid decision. "

Crown immediately sat up and asked, "Will the changes in the church's magic array affect the advent of the kingdom of God?"

If there is such a hidden danger, the pope's operation is intriguing. He has been a high-level extraordinary person in the church for too short a time, and many secrets have never been known.

Because there are too many things that have never been recorded in writing, but only passed on by word of mouth in the church.

"There will be some impact, but not big. St. Peter's Basilica is a relatively key anchor point, but without it, the speed of the kingdom of God's positioning and appearance in the world will be slowed down by a few days at most."

Hearing this answer, Clown relaxed:

"It's okay, let the pope do whatever he wants. "

As long as the matter does not have a decisive impact, he is not worried about changing the magic circle or even the church.

The main purpose of his coming to the meeting is to consult the secret information and obtain information on how to improve after the sixth level.

With the help of the golden wall, it is natural to advance to the sixth level, just like water flowing to the lower place.

But he had heard from Purinton that there are other hidden conditions for the silver level to advance to the holy mark gold.

At this time, Osman walked in from the door and bowed his head slightly:

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, may the light of the Lord of Fire illuminate our way forward."

Fland turned around and raised his eyebrows slightly after seeing the other party's attire.

The Pope was wearing a holy robe, and all his breath was blocked by the holy robe. This is a garment made of special materials, with the flexibility of cloth, but can achieve the defense of armor.

Crown stood up, and the two returned the greeting: "May the light of the Lord of Fire illuminate our way forward. "

Osman waved his hand, signaling Theo to leave first. The attendant understood, turned around and left, closing the door of the reception room.

"Last time we met, Lord Crown's aura had barely advanced to silver, and when we met again, it had advanced to the fifth level. I am very curious about your bloodline.

It's less than a year to advance from the fourth level to the fifth level. I'm afraid that the gods couldn't do it back then.

I will vote at the meeting and nominate you to become the cardinal. The future of the church will be in your hands. "

Crown grinned, he felt a big pie flying towards him.

According to the church's constitution, he must first serve as a cardinal for ten years, and then compete with other candidates. Only after winning can he become the pope.

The tone of the current pope is as if he will definitely become the pope under the arrangement of the other party.

In his previous life, he ate too much pie, and he was no longer sensitive to such words.

"Your Majesty, I have a hard time managing the church affairs of a small city. If I serve as a cardinal, I'm afraid I will embarrass the church. "

"With a few more years of training, you will naturally be qualified for this position, and leadership skills can be cultivated slowly."

Crown shook his head, "I have no intention of this, being a bishop is good enough."

Osman stared into his eyes, as if he wanted to see through his soul.

A few seconds later, the Pope turned his head and said:

"Archbishop Flanders, I want to talk to His Excellency Crown alone, Theo will take you to the guest room to rest."

"Goodbye," Flanders nodded to Crown implicitly and left the reception room.

The Pope walked to the chair and sat down, smiling:

"Sit down, let's talk slowly, this is a long story."

Don't try to trick me into being a cardinal. Crown sat down obediently and listened attentively.

Osman looked at his movements and laughed:

"You seem to be wary of me?"

"I just don't want to be a cardinal. I don't want to bear too much responsibility. "

Klauen said it sincerely. He just wanted to be a leisurely bishop.

Perhaps he would develop the desire to control power if he pushed all his skills to the top, but now he just wanted to do less and gain more experience.

"The situation in the world will push you forward."

After the Pope said something unclear, he continued:

"There is a secret you definitely don't know. The shining of the red moon will accelerate the awakening of the sleeping evil god. The danger we face this time is more difficult than the last holy war.

If you become the Pope, you will get more resources and have a brighter future, and the world will also avoid falling into the abyss of darkness because of you.

Through the mist of time, I see that you have a future of gold rank.

When you stand in the center of thousands of people and feel the glory, you will definitely be glad to be the Pope. "

'Do you know how much you look like a charlatan now? Fortunately, my demand for resources is very low, and your big pie is not very tempting, otherwise I would really be fooled by you.'

Crown silently complained in his heart. In his previous life, the internal relationships of a large company would be complicated, and such a large church of gods would be even more difficult to manage.

For him, becoming the Pope has few advantages, but definitely many disadvantages.

Using one's own power to suppress others will only make the church's efficiency continue to decline.

He stated his attitude directly and firmly: "Your Majesty, I'm going to disappoint you. For the church, it's really not the best choice for me to become the Pope."

"Think about it carefully. I will still nominate you to be a cardinal," the Pope's tone became cold.

He can also force a promotion. Clown wanted to cover his face. Why didn't he encounter such a good thing in his previous life!

Seeing that the Pope had no interest in talking, he said:

"Your Majesty, I want to check the knowledge of how to advance the sixth-level extraordinary."

The last time he came to the Holy See, he browsed the library. The knowledge above the silver level was very rare, and the sixth level could not be found at all.

He did not think that the church did not include such knowledge, but that the knowledge was stored somewhere in the church and was not open to him.

"Haha," the Pope laughed with an ambiguous meaning, "I was also curious and wanted to read this kind of knowledge."

"Later I learned that it was useless to know so much when the time was not right. Let's go, I'll show you the most secret library of the church."

The two left the reception room, walked through the corridor, crossed the archway, and walked into the underground sanctuary of the church.

Walking down the passage full of torches, the two soon came to the bottom of the sanctuary.

Osman opened a room in the sanctuary, and Crown walked into it. There was a high dome inside, but it was unusually empty. There was no bookshelf, only some metal nameplates on the walls.

On the labels, there were book titles and requirements for obtaining them.

"All the secret knowledge accumulated by the church is here. There is no limit to borrowing it, as long as you have the ability."

Osman walked to a label and put his hand under it. The originally smooth stone wall emitted a red spiritual light, and then a drawer moved out.

The Pope picked up the book inside and raised it: "The magic array here can distinguish your soul strength. You can borrow books of this level according to your level.

The sixth-level knowledge is in that wall. If you can borrow it, you must let me see it.

Let me say in advance that the magic array here is connected to the sanctuary. It cannot be destroyed by violence. If your attack reaches the limit of the magic array, the books here will be automatically damaged."

After listening to his words, Clown walked straight to the innermost wall, which was the location of the sixth-level knowledge mentioned by the Pope.

After a glance, he stopped in front of the title of "Soul Sublimation - Ladder to the Gods".

He imitated the other party and touched his hand next to the label. Suddenly, the magic array was activated and he felt an inexplicable breath flashing over his body.

'Insufficient authority, the borrower's soul strength is detected to be fifth level, please keep working hard! ’

A beautiful and pleasant female voice echoed in the empty hall, and then Osman laughed:

"Haha. This is the magic circle blueprint left by the gods. This voice comes from a wisp of soul fragment of a powerful heroic priest, who is responsible for scheduling the operation of the magic circle.

It is said that everyone who enters here for the first time will do the same action as you, but when I heard the words "keep working hard", I still couldn't help laughing."

Klauen was embarrassed there. Is this considered being despised by artificial intelligence? !

"Young man, don't be too ambitious!"

Osman left with his hands behind his back, "You can look at it casually. If you want to leave the sanctuary, just use your badge."

As the Pope left, the door of the library slowly closed.

Klauen's embarrassment has disappeared. He found the fifth-level secret method of fire breath and put his hand on the magic circle.

This secret method probably won't bring him any help, but it can broaden his horizons.

At this time, Osman stood in the passage, the torch cast his shadow on the wall, a group of tentacles stretched out from the shadow, and then waved wildly, his face seemed to melt like a wax figure under heat.

He looked up, squinted his eyes and felt the breath at the tip of his nose, intoxicated in his heart:

"What a pure delicacy, you are destined to merge with me, let us be great together"

In the guest room, the bright lights dispelled the darkness of the night, leaving shadows in the corners.

Flanders poured a glass of gin, and the wine smudged out layers of changing light circles in the transparent glass.

He took a sip of wine, squinted his eyes and savored it:

"The gin in Bly City is the best in the whole continent, and the gin supplied by St. Peter's Cathedral is the best of the best, with a mellow taste and a long aftertaste. You must not miss it."

Crown took a breath lightly, distinguished the strength of the alcohol, and shook his head:

"I am not interested in strong liquor."

In his previous life, he had a painful memory of drinking strong liquor and getting hurt. He developed to the point where his stomach would churn just by smelling the alcohol. Later, he only drank pineapple beer.

"You have done a lot of good things," Flanders put down the glass and said:

"Osman's behavior today is very abnormal. The Pope's holy robe is usually worn during major celebrations. It has the function of isolating and detecting. I always feel that he is hiding something."

The holy robe isolates the breath, and no one can sense the light of the Pope's soul.

He paused for two seconds and then said:

"What does the Pope want to talk to you about? Can you tell me?"

Crown nodded: "We didn't talk for long. He kept persuading me to become the Pope, but of course I wouldn't agree.

Later, I went to the library in the sanctuary and read through the fourth and fifth level knowledge, and gained a little."

[Demon Scholar: 296/8000; Fourth Level] (You know the habits of most high-level monsters and understand the value of monster flesh and bones. Your diet has expanded!)

[Hermes Language: 2054/8000; Third Level] (This language has always been called the language closest to Dragon Language. You can feel the flow of energy when you recite it.)

These two knowledge skills have increased their proficiency by more than 3,000 points in total, which is his biggest gain today.

Flanders sighed bitterly:

"Indeed, with your bloodline power, the biggest benefit of becoming the Pope has lost its appeal.

Such a good opportunity is not worth mentioning in your eyes, which makes those who are vying for the position of Pope envious."

Crown spread his hands: "If you are interested in competing for the position of Pope, you can also try.

You have been a cardinal for a long time and have enough prestige. In my opinion, you have a good chance of becoming the Pope."

"If I had such an opportunity before I got the Golden Light Seed, I would have tried my best to grasp it. Now, the position of Pope is not so attractive."

Becoming the Pope can use more resources to supply yourself to advance on the extraordinary path, but the Golden Light Mantra can also play the same role. Therefore, Flanders has less covetousness for the position of Pope.

Storm Spire, Kingdom of Sintland.

This is the Holy Seed of the Church of the Lord of Storms. At this moment, there is a commotion in the conference hall.

Since the fall of Xinsaro Harbor, the situation in the kingdom immediately began to become turbulent, and more and more marine life variants set foot on this land.

Now, the church held a meeting to discuss and decide on the course of action.

Pope Andre Williams picked up the scepter and shook it heavily on the ground, saying solemnly: "Silence!"

His voice was as powerful and passionate as thunder in the rain, and immediately suppressed all the discussions.

"You are all powerful people at the level of cardinals. If you make such a noise, it will be laughed at if it gets out!"

"The situation in the kingdom is in turmoil now, and we must come up with a feasible plan to deal with it.

The envoys sent to other churches have returned one after another, and our request has not received due attention. Although other churches have agreed to send troops to support, the number of troops will not play a big role in the current situation."

"Your Majesty, the church has paid a lot for the peace of the entire continent. If it weren't for our desperate resistance, the evil god's followers would probably have spread the war all over the continent.

We sacrificed so much, but let people from other countries reap the fruits of our labor. This is unfair.

I suggest that we open the passage so that the evil god's troops can Flooding into other countries. "

"Second! The church has lost four silver-level extraordinary people in the battle, and the number of casualties in the low-level troops is incalculable.

Why are our silver-level extraordinary people sacrificing like this? It's not for other churches to reap the benefits.

Fighting against the resurrection of the evil god is a matter for the whole continent, not a private matter of our Storm Lord Church. "

"Agree. We open the defense line of the Kingdom of Ribia and the Kingdom of Budamia, and let these guys who reap the benefits also feel the cruelty of the evil god. "

Andre nodded secretly. The Kingdom of Xintland was destined to be unable to hold on with their own strength. Instead of letting the situation slowly deteriorate, it is better to make other attempts while their own people are still powerful.

He said "um" and said: "Everyone, let's start voting. Archbishops who agree to implement the plan to make way for the passage, please raise your hands. "

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone raised their arms.

"Okay, since everyone agrees, let's make a plan. There is no reason for our church to carry the burden for other countries on the continent."

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

After breakfast, Crown and Flanders went to the sanctuary to hold a meeting of cardinals.

Today, the silver-ranked people met to set a framework for future decision-making.

There was one more silver-ranked extraordinary person in the Pope's line, but Cavendy died in the Rhine City. After this addition and subtraction, Flanders and others no longer had an advantage in the meeting of cardinals.

When the group entered the meeting room of the sanctuary, they were surprised to find that Osman and others had already taken their seats.

The Pope glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice:

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I declare that the meeting of cardinals will begin now.

There are new faces joining this meeting, and there are also familiar old faces who have sacrificed their lives for the cause of the church.

The speed of the evil god's revival has begun to accelerate. In this increasingly severe era, I propose that His Excellency Crown Moya serve as the cardinal of the Porto Province. He has reached the fifth level of transcendence and is fully qualified for the position of cardinal."

Crown narrowed his eyes slightly in annoyance. He has made it clear that he does not want to become a cardinal, so why is the other party still not giving up? !

He stood up and sternly refused: "Your Majesty, I have stated my views before. I have no intention of becoming a cardinal!"

Being an archbishop is a waste of time. Wouldn't it be better to have more free time to gain experience? !
