Chapter 353 Conversation at Hatfield Manor

The metal clone stood at the door of the room, holding a round shield and a war hammer in his hands, and vigilantly performed the alert task.

Crown said: "I will take care of the two seriously injured people, you and Archbishop Ivan search for survivors together.

Also, don't separate, we would rather search slowly than lose more people."

There are only four silver-level extraordinary people in the church, and they can't stand many twists and turns.

Flanders nodded: "I understand."

Just now he persuaded for a long time, but Clown didn't change his mind, so he was a little depressed.

The change of the Pope was too sudden. Now the prestige of the cardinals is generally not high enough, and wanting to become the Pope is not enough to reverse the situation.

In addition, the Saxon family will definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If the king becomes the Pope, their lives will probably not be easy.

"Ivan, let's go."

After Flanders and the others left, Clown began to treat the wounded.

He used his spiritual vision to straighten the broken bones of the wounded, fixed them with a splint, and then took out a scalpel to cut off the corroded flesh of the wounded.

The evil beast actually had the ability to self-destruct, and the blood it sprayed was highly corrosive. The silver-level archbishops were caught off guard and suffered a great loss, and even paid the price of their lives.

Clown took out a bottle of water of life, used a secret method to completely activate the active factors in the water, and then divided it into two portions and fed it to the wounded.

At this point, there was only one bottle of water of life left in his collection.

The seals in his hands changed rapidly, releasing the wind of healing, and the wounds of the wounded kept wriggling, slowly growing new flesh and blood.

The seriously injured drank the water of life and received treatment, and their originally pale and listless expressions immediately improved.

He understood that this only temporarily stabilized the wounded's injuries, and further care was needed.

Healing Wind is a status skill that can last for five minutes. When the time is up, he will release the skill again until the wounded's face turns pale again, which is a sign that the wounded's life source is over-stimulated.

Clown stopped moving. The situation is critical now. He can only heal them as quickly as possible.

The wounded were injured and their life source was over-stimulated. They could not resist.

Now that their injuries have recovered well, they will soon fall asleep with a relaxed mind.

Clown listened to their steady breathing and breathed a sigh of relief. He sat cross-legged against the wall and summoned a golden wall.

[Healing Wind: 926/8000; Level 3]

Not bad! After releasing the skill more than ten times, he increased his proficiency by more than 400 points. It should be that the more serious the injury, the more proficiency will be increased after treatment. In addition, it is also related to the strength of the wounded.

Thinking of this, Clown decided to capture some powerful monsters after returning to Hamers to practice Healing Wind. The chickens he bought could no longer satisfy his desire to quickly gain experience.

He closed the golden wall and began to visualize the golden light spell. A cool moon-like spiritual light shone on his body, and the two wounded subconsciously shrank their necks.

Hatfield Manor, Fellstone City.

King Arthur Saxon jumped off the carriage without waiting for the waiter to open the door of the carriage. He said to the butler who came up to him:

"Butler Ford, I want to see the people of the family Senate. Please ask them to go to the meeting room immediately."

The members of the Senate of the Saxon family are all silver-level extraordinary people.

After saying that, he hurried inside without waiting for the butler to reply.

Ford realized that something big must have happened, and he immediately sent guards to notify the relevant people.

Arthur came to the meeting room first. He sat in the chairman's seat and pressed his temples hard.

Although he had been trying to calm down, his rapid breathing showed that everything he did now was in vain.

After a while, three members of the Senate came together.

Lexis had a cynical smile on his face:

"My dear brother, what's the hurry? I just returned to the manor the day before yesterday and haven't had time to enjoy my vacation yet."

He had dazzling blond hair, and his strands of hair looked like cast gold. With his fair and handsome appearance, he was definitely very elegant.

The elders sat down on both sides of Arthur, waiting for the king to speak.

Arthur stopped what he was doing, his eyes stayed on everyone's face for a few seconds, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"Just received a secret report that there was unrest in Bly City, and St. Peter's Cathedral was suspected to be attacked by evil creatures. Now the situation in the Holy See is suspected to be very unstable.

The secret report was sent three days ago. I don't know if the unrest has been suppressed now."

Prince Lexis raised his eyebrows: "Is there a more detailed report? What is the current situation in St. Peter's Cathedral?"

Arthur shook his head and sighed:

"Osman has been operating in the church for more than a hundred years. We have bribed senior members of the church and have been gradually marginalized by them. Now the remaining intelligence members are all small characters and cannot pass back more accurate information."

The Saxon family spared no effort to place their own people in important positions in St. Peter's Basilica, but the Pope refused for various reasons, and those who were bribed by them were transferred to non-core positions by the Pope. Their intelligence personnel have never entered the power center of the church.

Prince Lerol tapped the table with his fingers and asked uncertainly:

"Aren't the cardinals holding a meeting at this time? Why haven't the archbishops in the areas controlled by our royal family sent back any news?"

In the three provinces controlled by the royal family, if the cardinals do not accept the bribes of the royal family, they will inevitably encounter various difficulties and will not be able to carry out their work.

"At the beginning, the Cardinals' Conference had not been held. Osman only convened the Silver-rank transcendents to hold the Cardinals' Conference.

The Cardinals we bribed are not qualified to attend this meeting.

According to confirmation, these three archbishops may have returned to the embrace of the gods."

Arthur paused, and his voice suddenly became excited:

"I think this is a good opportunity. No matter what happens in Bly City now, the power of the Holy See will inevitably be greatly weakened.

This is the best time for us to fight to regain the throne of the Pope. We can use this incident to exert pressure from public opinion and force Osman to abdicate early.

If he abdicates, the remaining cardinals will not have enough prestige to obtain the Church's support. The emperor nominates us, we lobby some archbishops, and it is very likely that we will get the long-lost position of the pope. "

Prince Sean shook his head: "Your Majesty, I disagree. Doing so is equivalent to completely breaking off relations with Osman, and it is not conducive to the stability of the situation.

After all, Osman does not have much time to live, and who knows whether this dying man will become crazy after being provoked.

Besides, the preparations we have made so far are not sufficient.

In addition, a large number of fishmen were found in the valley province, where the Taina River leads directly to the Kingdom of Sintland.

This proves that the situation in the Kingdom of Sintland is already very serious, and it is completely unable to stop the attack of the evil god's followers. If the fishmen continue to go upstream along the Taina River, the situation we face will become more and more difficult. . "

"I agree with Arthur. This is a good opportunity to regain the glory of our ancestors," Lexis retorted, "We can gather troops while paying close attention to the situation in Bly City. If the timing is difficult, it is worth taking some risks."

"But what about the Valley Province? The three provinces we control have part of the Taine River. If the fishmen are rampant, how can we resist?"

Lexis shrugged, spread his hands and said:

"If you want to achieve great things, some losses are inevitable. If we take back the throne of the Pope, the twelve provinces of the entire Farouk Kingdom will return to the control of the royal family. It is a good deal to exchange three provinces for twelve provinces."

"Well," Arthur nodded with satisfaction, "I agree with Lexis's point of view. It is necessary to make small sacrifices to gain great benefits.

Just do as he says. On the one hand, we need to gather troops, and on the other hand, we need to pay attention to the development of the situation. If there is a chance, we will go to the Holy See to help the "friendly forces". If they can control the situation, we will not lose anything."

Sean said: "If Osman is still alive, I don't agree to send troops. The church currently has a fifth-level extraordinary person, and the strength is too strong."

Lexis smiled frivolously: "Uncle, have you lost your courage because of Osman's pressure? The fifth-level extraordinary person is indeed powerful, but we can avoid direct conflict with him."

"Huh," Sean sneered and did not answer.

Arthur made the final decision: "I will consider Uncle Sean's advice, but the current situation cannot be delayed any further. We must first gather our troops and dispatch better intelligence personnel to the Holy See to collect the latest intelligence."

Lexis stood up: "Your Majesty, otherwise let me go to the Holy See. On the one hand, my strength is sufficient, and I believe those cardinals will not dare to be too negligent, so it will be easier to collect intelligence."

Arthur thought for a moment and said:

"Okay, but you can't conflict with the people of the church, and be more tolerant in everything."

"I understand, I'm not a three-year-old child, how can I not know this truth."

The gray fog crawled over the city of Bray, tightly wrapping the city.

The magic circle of St. Peter's Cathedral was damaged, and the holy fire in the bell tower could no longer be lit. Only those small churches could light the holy fire.

Inside the church, Flanders described the current situation: "There are no survivors in the cathedral. We found some priests and crusader warriors in the distant blocks, the highest of which is only the second level.

In addition, the secret passage inside the prayer hall has been cleared, and the exit is in the wasteland outside the city. Osman's trace disappeared by the river, and we can't know his current location."

Crown frowned. He released the time reversal at the location where Osman last appeared, and found that the other party turned transparent and then merged into the water and finally disappeared. The water flow took away all the smell, and he lost the opportunity to locate the enemy.

"What should I do next?" Ivan asked.

The situation is very bad now. He feels very uneasy now. The Pope betrayed him, his comrades died tragically, and the church has reached a very dangerous juncture.

If it cannot get through safely, the Kingdom of Farouk will inevitably fall into conflict.

Flanders said: "We must re-elect a Pope."

"Sir Klauen won't take the position?" Ivan was surprised. The wounded Leo Duma and Drago had the same expression. In their hearts, the position of Pope must be taken by the strongest person at present.

Klauen waved his hand:

"Don't mention this matter again. If I want to become the Pope, I will definitely not shirk it."

At his growth rate, when the Kingdom of God comes, it is very likely that he will also advance to the Stigma Gold. There is no point in being the Pope. Instead, he does not have enough time to gain experience.

Fland said: "If Clown has no intention of becoming the Pope, then the Saxon family will definitely fight for this position.

We don't have much advantage against the royal family."

Leo said in a low voice: "What I am worried about is that if a member of the royal family becomes the Pope, they will retaliate against us and make us guard the unstable diocese."

Drag shook his head slightly and said:

"I don't think so. Even if the Saxon family becomes the Pope, as long as we support them, we will be reused.

The threat of the evil god is getting closer and closer, and several dioceses such as the Rhine City Diocese have already The threat of the evil god's followers has been faced directly.

If the royal family now causes internal strife, it would be pure stupidity. "

Crown said: "That makes sense. The greater the external pressure, the easier it is to unite internally. The huge Farouk Kingdom must be unified to face the evil god with more confidence.

The royal family also wants to make their family's rule last longer, so they won't do things that dig their own graves. If they really do it, I will never succumb!"

"Well said," Flanders smiled. He was completely dead set on Clown becoming the Pope.

Without any worries, his thinking became a little more agile:

"The current priority is to clean up St. Peter's Basilica. Now there is blood everywhere. If the believers see it, it will definitely greatly affect the image of the church.

They will think that we can't even protect the holy land, so how can we protect their safety? !"

Crown asked: "How many believers will know about Osman's affairs?"

The Osman incident has the greatest impact on the church and must not be spread.

They could only announce to the outside world: ‘St. Peter’s Basilica was attacked by the followers of the evil god. His Holiness Pope Osman led the people to fight regardless of life and death, sacrificed his life for the church, and died on the front line of killing the enemy.’

Thinking of this, he felt a little sick.

After a short silence, Flanders said sadly: “I don’t think any believers will know, because those who are qualified to know are dead.

Why do those strange evil beasts grow so fast? It’s because a large number of believers at the extraordinary level have had their life essence extracted.”

He studied the magic array in the prayer hall for a while, and after discovering that Osman actually mastered such a vicious magic array, he restored the general cause and effect of the whole thing in his mind.

The magic array can actually extract the life essence of creatures, and then provide it for himself or other creatures. He understood why Osman could break through the fifth level.

Based on this, he began to speculate that the inexplicable disappearance of a noble high-ranking official in Bray City is likely related to Osman.

First, lure the target with something that is irresistible, and then kill it when it grows to a certain extent. If you raise cattle and sheep, when the cattle and sheep are fat and strong, it will be their doom.

Crown's expression was slightly cold, and he exhaled a long breath, saying:

"If I meet Osman again, I will definitely make him pay for what he did."

With his growth rate, when he meets the enemy again, he will definitely be much better than the other party.

He can raise the level of the two spirits to the fifth level, so that the combat effectiveness will be directly improved.

Flanders nodded, he heard the firmness and murderousness in Crown's words.

He smiled with relief and said:

"We can split into two groups tomorrow, one group is responsible for cleaning the church, and the other group is responsible for finding more survivors and appeasing the people."
