Chapter 355 Return

Ten days later.

St. Peter's Basilica was packed with people, and the solemn prayer hall was crowded. After the music, the noisy atmosphere suddenly quieted down. Arthur was holding a coronation ceremony.

Crown and others reached an agreement with the royal family in private. They supported Arthur to become the Pope and obtained a certain degree of autonomy in the five northernmost dioceses of the kingdom.

Except for the Holy See, other areas can not send troops when attacked, or send troops for compensation.

In addition, the various secret methods of the Holy See are still open to them. When they no longer serve as archbishops or pass away, the Holy See can re-send new archbishops.

The new statue of the Lord of Fire is almost the same as the original statue, with lowered eyes and compassionately looking at the bustling crowd in the hall.

Arthur knelt down beside the statue, raised his hands and placed the holy crown on his head, then stood up and turned around, raising the scepter in his hand:

"Under the witness of the Lord of Fire, I, Arthur Saxon, succeed as Pope."

The applause was like a tide, and it lasted for a long time. After hundreds of years, the throne of the Pope returned to the hands of the royal family again. For many people, this matter was of great significance.

Arthur smiled kindly and waved to everyone. The ruby ​​on the top of the scepter burst into a strong flame aura, and the scepter was like a torch.

Behind him, the right hand of the statue also burst into a ball of orange-red flame, and the face of the statue suddenly brightened, as if celebrating the coronation of the Pope.

"King Arthur, Pope!"

"King Arthur, Pope!"

Led by the arranged helper, the crowd shouted louder and louder.

Arthur put his hand on the flame Bible and said solemnly:

"Half a month ago, the Holy See was attacked by the heretics. Pope Osman Druk led his troops to fight hard and shed blood on the battlefield. I will inherit his will, hold high the torch of our Lord Hephaestus, and burn myself for the eternal fire of God."

Sometimes it is like this. It is obviously a cancer, but it has to be covered up. Otherwise, the news that the Pope rebelled and took the lead in slaughtering the believers will spread, which will greatly affect the prestige of the church.

The sacred and lengthy oath-taking session finally passed, and the Pope began to give the Eucharist. When the succession finally ended, it was already evening.

In the church's meeting hall, bright lights illuminated the night like day. Arthur raised a goblet filled with amber wine, smiling:

"In the future, I will need your help. The prosperity of the church and the kingdom requires the joint efforts of everyone.

May we bathe in the glory of the gods, may the holy light give us the courage and strength to face evil, and may the god of fire illuminate our way forward.

Everyone, please drink this cup."

In the meeting hall, all the silver-level super-issuers of the Farouk Kingdom were present, including four people from the Saxon family and five people from Crown. For a while, they were toasting and having fun.

After a while, Flanders stood up and said:

"We have been away from the diocese for many days. Now that things have been done, we will bid farewell to Your Majesty tomorrow."

Arthur nodded slightly:

"The situation in the northern diocese is also unstable. Your return can calm people's hearts. I will not keep you any longer.

Tomorrow morning, I will prepare transfer orders for everyone. You can take away those who are useful."

Leo took out the paper he had written long ago and presented it:

"Even if Your Majesty does not mention this matter, we have to ask for a transfer order for these old subordinates who have followed us for many years."

If these confidants and followers did not leave with them, they would not be able to be reused by the new bishop, so they simply packed up the original team and took them away.

Doing so can also reassure the king and save the other party from screening and selection.

Arthur's smile became more gentle, and he said:

"This is the best, and you can quickly start working in the new diocese."

He looked away, and his tone became more gentle:

"Sir Crown, I still want to ask you to be a cardinal. As the strongest person in the church, your position is just an ordinary bishop, which is a waste of talent."

His tone was sincere. If he didn't have Crown's cooperation, he would still have a long way to go to become the Pope.

With such a subordinate who was not attached to power, he certainly wanted to reuse him.

Clown waved his hand gently and declined:

"Your Majesty, I just want to stay quietly and spend more time to improve my strength as quickly as possible.

If I serve as an archbishop, my attention will inevitably be distracted. If one day we face the evil god, the power we have is our greatest reliance, and nothing else is."

Arthur shook his head gently and sighed:

"Only people like you who are pure and focused can walk so fast on the path of transcendence."

He secretly regretted that the other party was just a Crusader warrior, and his future path would only reach the sixth level at most, and it would be almost impossible for him to step into the golden level of the stigma.

Crusader warriors are only knight-like professions, and many methods of priests cannot be learned, but practicing holy power makes it easier to ascend to the throne of God.

Throughout the several eras of the continent, there are only a few knights who have achieved the stigmata, the god of war Tyr and the god of hunting Uller, but both gods died in the last holy war.

It is an extremely difficult road for knights to achieve the stigmata, but once they achieve the stigmata gold, they are extremely powerful among the same level.

The corners of Clown's mouth curled up, revealing a polite smile. Family members know their own business, because every effort can see the harvest, so he can persevere.

The waiter brought a tray covered with green velvet and presented it to Prince Lexis.

The prince took the tray, walked up to the few people, and removed the velvet covering it:

"The rebellion of the Church was quelled by you. His Majesty specially opened the secret vault and prepared a gift for you."

The cover was removed, revealing the rune crystal bottle inside, and the green in the bottle was full of vitality.

Arthur smiled: "It's just a little gift, don't refuse. There are twelve bottles of water of life in total, each person can take two bottles, Lord Crown, please take four bottles."

Since the others are so cooperative, he must show some sincerity, and reciprocity is the norm.

'Does the church still have secret vaults that were ruined by Osman? Or are there some more secret vaults that only the Saxon family knows about? '

Crown's thoughts turned very quickly, he didn't think these gifts were taken from the secret vaults that Osman knew about.

He took out his share and put it into the space ring, and the others also took their shares.

Everyone talked for a while and exchanged opinions on how to deal with the relationship between the countries.

Finally, Crown and others said goodbye and left, and only the Saxon family was left in the meeting room.

Leroy said: "We can't let the five northern dioceses have autonomy for too long. If we wait for the right time, we should bring these dioceses under the absolute jurisdiction of the church as soon as possible."

Arthur lowered his eyes, quietly looked at the wine in the glass, looked at the blurred light and shadow of the wine under the bright light, and shook his head gently:

"It's too early to say this now. The church suffered heavy losses in the turmoil of the Holy See this time. Not counting the troops of the family and the kingdom, the Holy See has no ability to organize an elite force.

In the northern diocese, Rhine City faces two major threats, the evil god Hakka in the Andes Mountains, and Cthulhu in the estuary town of Lorente. In this situation, even if we take back control of the diocese, can we be better than what Flanders did? Better?"

"I've looked through the files. The reason why the Rhine Diocese was able to keep the two evil gods out was mostly due to Crown, and Flanders just benefited from it."

Lexis added: "But, Crown supports Flanders, there is no doubt about that.

If we were in power, he might not be willing to do so much.

I think my brother's arrangement is very good. If the situation in the north can be stabilized, we will have more ways to go back."

Arthur nodded: "Crown said something very right. The most worthy of reliance is the power we have.

If the family has several fifth-level extraordinary people, how can these archbishops have the qualifications to bargain with us?"

Amid the roar, the airship slowly took off and left the city of Bly.

The airships originally parked in the city of Bly were deliberately destroyed. These were airships sent by the royal family to escort Crown and others back to their respective dioceses.

Except for Flanders, whose control area remained unchanged, the other three archbishops had to go to unfamiliar dioceses to take up their posts.

In the room, Clown and Flanders were visualizing the Golden Light Mantra, with gold and silver colors flowing, as if the sun was rising and the moon was setting, and all things were growing.

Under Clown's lead, Flanders' visualization went very smoothly.

After feeling the flight time of the airship, Clown stopped visualizing and summoned the golden wall.

[Golden Light Mantra: 171730/300000; Level 4]

The Golden Light Mantra was steadily improving, and it was one step closer to obtaining the Tao Seed again.

Whenever he thought about the automatic increase in proficiency, he would smile involuntarily.

The proficiency required to improve the Golden Light Mantra by one level was too much, but the existence of the Tao Seed did not slow down his improvement speed, but instead had a faster trend. He loved the Tao Seed, this "hook within a hook".

Flanders felt that the visualization was no longer so smooth and smooth. Knowing that Clown had stopped, he also ended the visualization and opened his eyes, saying:

"I think Ivan and the others are also worth cultivating. If they obtain the Golden Light Dao Seed, their strength will surely grow as fast as mine."

The effect of the Golden Light Dao Seed, whoever uses it knows it! It is equivalent to adding a powerful secret technique to increase the source of life. The richer the source, the greater the possibility of advancement.

He originally did not have such high hopes for advancing to the fifth level, but now he thinks that he may be able to fight for the sixth level extraordinary person. By then, he will be able to become an existence at the same level as the ancestors of his family. That feeling of raising his eyebrows must be very refreshing.

Clown smiled slightly: "Do you think Drag is also qualified to obtain the Dao Seed?"

Not long ago, Drag and them did not have a harmonious relationship. As a diehard of the Pope's line, their relationship could only be described as a nodding acquaintance.

Fland nodded without hesitation: "All those who are willing to contribute to resisting the evil god are our allies. Drag can achieve the silver rank, and his own ability is worthy of recognition."

In his eyes, the evil god is the ultimate enemy, and the contradictions within the human race can be temporarily put aside.

"It will take time to get new Tao seeds. You can hint to them in a few days to see if they have any intention in this regard."

Crown is of course willing to give Tao seeds to those with stronger strength, so that he can get more benefits.

The next time he gets Tao seeds, Eliza will take up a quota. He had reserved it for her, but Cavendish's death interrupted his plan.

The Tao seed holder died, and the Tao seed disappeared. He tried to condense the Tao seed again, but found that he could not condense it.

This incident reminded him that Tao seeds are best given to those who do not need to fight on the front line.

Fland laughed and said:

"No need to hint, the Tao Seed can strengthen their life source again, which is a real benefit.

I bet that no silver-level extraordinary person can refuse such a temptation.

When they get the news, the only dissatisfaction will be that they can't get such a gift immediately."

He stopped laughing and said seriously:

"When can you get the Tao Seed again?"

Klauen calculated the time and replied:

"As short as half a month, as long as one and a half months."

If he goes to the neighboring country to purify the alienated area, his proficiency will increase quickly, otherwise, he needs to grind slowly.

In fact, his speed is already very fast now, but people are greedy and want to be faster.

"The airship will soon land in Rhine City. I will talk to them before leaving."

After feeling the vibration when the airship landed, Klauen and the others walked out of the room. He saw Ivan and the other two waiting outside the door.

Leo stepped forward, bowed deeply, and raised the two bottles of Water of Life in his hands above his head, saying:

"Your Excellency saved me and Drago, these two bottles of Water of Life are just a thank you gift."

Crown did not reach out to take it immediately: "It's a bit expensive."

Besides, he only used one bottle of Water of Life to treat the two people. If he sold the extra Water of Life, he could at least earn thousands of gold coins.

Drag advised: "Take it, Your Excellency! If you don't take it, we don't know how to thank you."

Seeing this scene, Flanders also advised Crown to take it.

Crown could not refuse, so he had to take it. He really thought that it would be better to put the Water of Life on these people. If they were injured in any danger, the Water of Life could at least keep them alive.

After accepting the thank you gift, Crown said:

"Everyone, I'll go first, goodbye."

He wanted to return to Hammers City as soon as possible, where there was still a lot of work to do.

The soul-casting weapons of Rivigaz and his partner have not been forged yet, so he wants to ask Nick if he has found a cold jade vein.

If he finds a vein, he can build a special castle with the Moon Soul Spirit Light Array as the foundation.

"Goodbye."

Amid the farewells of the crowd, Crown spread his rose-gold wings behind him, then soared into the sky and soon disappeared into the clouds on the horizon.

Flanders took over the topic and said:

"Old friends, I have a few things to announce.

One is that Lord Crown will hold a wedding soon, and the other is that Crown has mastered a mysterious power that can condense the power of blood into a seed."
