Chapter 356 Cornerstone

The earth was lush and green, and everything was growing. The roads in the wild were completely covered by weeds.

From a broader perspective, after the gray fog fell, the world became a paradise for plants. According to Hammers' report on the troops patrolling the surrounding areas of the city, the number of deer-headed spirits has a tendency to increase.

In the past, this kind of monster was rarely seen, but now it can be found once every few months, and the deer-headed spirits found are all in their infancy.

With lush vegetation, the number of herbivores has increased significantly, and the number of various carnivores has soared, and more wild beasts have also transformed into monsters.

In the sunset, the rose-gold wings are shining and colorful. Clown follows the track of the steam locomotive and flies towards Hammers.

If it weren't for the sharp propeller blades installed on both sides of the locomotive, every time it passes, it can cut the grass and trees along the way, and the rails will be occupied by weeds.

Relying on extraordinary vision and dynamic vision, Clown found that the density of wild beasts under his feet was very amazing.

He urged the breath of the fire dragon, and the life energy flowed endlessly in his body.

If the corresponding actions are not coordinated, the proficiency of the Flame Dragon Breath will increase much more slowly, but he will not ask for too much since he can happily gain experience while flying.

The dragon soul is playing beside him. As the proficiency continues to increase, the spirituality of the dragon soul becomes stronger.

The dragon's might is inadvertently released, and the beasts and monsters affected all crawl on the ground and tremble.

A wandering ogre enters Klauen's sight. This guy is holding a broken pottery pot and cooking.

This is a cruel humanoid monster. All creatures weaker than it are their food, and they will kill them before eating their prey.

The ogre feels the dragon's might and buries his head in the bushes next to him. The animal skin around his waist is broken into several pieces, which obviously cannot cover his fat and round buttocks.

The huge buttocks are raised high and are still shaking.

The dragon soul swoops down in accordance with Klauen's will, and a mouthful of fiery red dragon breath spews out.

The violent fire elemental spiritual power instantly ignited the ogre, and the extremely high temperature instantly burned it into charcoal.

It had just felt the pain of the burning flames when it was burned to death. It walked very quickly and was not tortured.

The speed of the fourth-level flying magic was amazing. Not long after, Hamers City was in sight.

Klauen stopped practicing the breath of the fire dragon and flew a few points faster.

A soldier guarding on the city wall saw a golden light flying quickly in the distance, and excitedly patted his companion next to him and said:

"Look, Lord Klauen is back."

The new parish spared no effort in promoting Klauen. The gimmick of the first fifth-level extraordinary person in the entire continent can still make the people feel at ease.

"Where?"

Klauen flew over the city wall. He saw the increasingly crowded town and realized that the task of expanding the city should be put on the agenda.

He landed in the central church, retracted the golden wings into his body, and strode towards Nick's room.

It was already midsummer, the temperature outside was very high, and the room was open with frost magic arrays, so the temperature inside was very comfortable.

Nick saw the person coming in and smiled:

"You came back later than expected, is it that things are not going well?"

Crown sighed and smiled bitterly:

"My experience these days must be beyond your imagination. The Pope has turned into an unknown evil creature."

"What?!"

Nick felt that after experiencing the death of his father-in-law, he would not be surprised by many things, but he still raised his voice involuntarily.

The Pope represents the face of the church. If he has problems, the entire church will be ashamed.

Now Osman has turned into an evil creature. If this matter is known to other churches, the Church of the Lord of Fire will definitely become a laughing stock of the entire continent.

"Say it again," he couldn't believe it and whispered again to verify.

"Go and call Fanny. I'll tell you two about what happened in the Church."

"Wait a moment," Nick walked quickly to the door and told the attendant:

"Please ask Her Excellency Fanny to come here immediately."

The attendant left.

Crown whispered, "How is Fanny's mood recently?"

The death of her father had a great impact on the bishop. Her spirit was obviously much worse than before, which was why he gave her the Tao Seed that was originally reserved for Eliza.

Nick's breathing became heavier and he sighed slightly:

"It's better, but she often gets inexplicably dazed. Sometimes when he was talking to her, she would lose focus."

He tried everything, but he couldn't make his wife really happy, and he felt a little guilty.

Crown pursed his lips and comforted:

"I hope time can dilute her sadness."

"Huh" Nick let out a long breath and said nothing.

"What do you want from me?" Fanny said in a somewhat cold tone. When she came in and saw the extra person in the room, she forced a bit of gentleness into her expression:

"Crown is back."

Clown looked at the thin figure with sunken cheeks and high cheekbones in front of him, and sighed in his heart. He didn't know when the confident and calm bishop would come back.

He didn't say anything to comfort him. He was a little sad, and no one could share his sorrow. He could only walk out slowly by himself.

He nodded slightly and said:

"Something happened in the Vatican. Pope Osman had a mutation and was contaminated by unknown reasons. He turned into a monster. Finally, Osman left through the secret passage, and I didn't track him down.

Later, Arthur Saxon became the new Pope, and the official documents for celebration should be sent out soon.

Osman has broken through to the level of a fifth-order extraordinary person. His injuries are not serious. I estimate that he will recover soon.

The situation in the kingdom will become unstable. We don't know Osman's next move, and we must take necessary precautions."

He briefly recounted the situation at the time and put forward his own opinions.

It is not good news that a fifth-order extraordinary creature with strong hostility to the church is wandering in the kingdom.

He felt that Osman had a special malice towards him, so he was even more worried.

With his current strength, he was not afraid of sneak attacks, but the people around him were no match for him.

What he said was too shocking. Nick and the others were speechless for a long time, digesting a series of explosive news.

After a long time, Nick asked:

"What are you going to do?"

He understood that there was only a thousand days to guard against thieves, and his companion actually said to be prepared. He felt that something he didn't know must have happened.

"The protection array will be opened temporarily, and only the inner ring array will be opened. In addition, I am going to the Kingdom of Ribia, which is expected to take about seven or eight days."

Crown said that the reason he came back was to inform his friends.

Then go to Ribia, purify an alienated area, and improve the proficiency of the Golden Light Curse.

At that time, he can get five more Tao seeds now.

The smaller the defense area of ​​the protection array, the higher the defense power. Even if the enemy sneaks here, it will not cause great damage.

He thought for a moment, and sent a message to Flanders through the Golden Light Dao Seed: ‘Archbishop, please ensure the safety of my sister and her family. I think Osman has deep malice towards me.’

‘Received.’ Flanders responded immediately.

Fanny’s eyes showed some solemnity:

“If a fifth-level extraordinary person deliberately wants to do something here, we can’t stop him at all.”

“So you need to become stronger. If the two of you can achieve the silver rank, combined with the protection array, you will have the capital to deal with fifth-level extraordinary creatures.”

Crown hoped that under the oppression of the harsh situation, Fanny would cheer up. She was the most potential Dao Seed holder to break through to the fourth level. It would be a pity to waste time.

He paused, turned to Nick, and asked:

“During the time I was away, there was no good news from the mining area?”

He was worried about the cold jade. If there was not enough cold jade, the Moon Soul Spirit Light Array could not be built.

Nick smiled: "We got some cold jade. Although it only weighs more than 700 pounds, we have found an unformed mineral layer.

The direction has been found. As long as there is cold jade ore in the mining area, it will be mined. I believe that day will come soon."

Crown's expression was also much more relaxed, and he said:

"Okay, send it to my mansion. Ask my butler William to pay the promised fee."

"The cold jade will be sent to your mansion after it is excavated. William has settled the fee."

It was dark when he returned to the mansion. Clown checked the cold jade that was sent.

He found that the quality of this batch of jade was very ordinary. He failed to select high-quality jade for the Taiyin Thunder Seal, but these jades were enough to make the cornerstone of the Moon Soul Spirit Light Array.

The manufacturing process of the cornerstone is not complicated. It only requires a second-level alchemist to complete it. The most core process is to superimpose the Qingxin Mantra Seal on the cornerstone.

However, in order to keep it confidential, he decided not to let any non-Dao Seed holder do all the processes.

The outer layer of the jade was peeled off, crushed and mixed with quartz powder, silver powder and other raw materials in a certain ratio, and then placed in a furnace for high-temperature calcination.

Two hours later, he made two cylindrical foundation stones, one meter and two meters high and sixty centimeters in diameter, which was a large foundation stone. The data of the small foundation stone was half of the large foundation stone.

The foundation stone was white marble, crystal clear and moist.

The release of the Qingxin Mantra seal has been integrated into Clown's bones. He first familiarized himself with how to superimpose the seals, and then got started directly.

Due to the experience of Mingxin Zhui, he completed the seal superposition work very skillfully, but the seal of the large foundation stone needs to be superimposed eighty-one times, and it will take a long time to establish a basic Moon Soul Spirit Light Array unit.

After only one round of Qingxin Mantra seals, the foundation stone exuded a spiritual light that calmed the soul.

Putting away the foundation stone, Clown began to visualize the Golden Light Mantra to restore the consumed energy.

During the trip to the Holy See, he watched the church's fifth-level secrets and found that there were few that were suitable for him, and these secrets had no appeal to him who had the Golden Light Mantra, so he didn't learn anything.

Later, he focused his main energy on the Golden Light Mantra and the Breath of the Flame Dragon. The two secrets complement each other, and the effect of cross-practice is very good.

At night, he spent time in visualization and practicing breathing methods. Before going to bed, he habitually summoned a golden wall.

[Golden Light Mantra: 172539/300000; Fourth Level]

[Breath of the Flame Dragon: 75892/120000; First Level]

[Healing Wind: 4086/8000; Third Level]

[Flying Magic: 14973/50000; Fourth Level]

This is all the gains from his trip to the Holy See. The proficiency of the Golden Light Mantra and the Healing Wind increased the most.

The next day, Clown went to the area where the McLean family built the castle and found that the buildings here had broken the scale.

Although there are no "modern" tools here, many jobs need to be done by manual labor, but in terms of the physical fitness of the extraordinary, even if they are moving bricks, they are much more efficient than ordinary people.

His arrival attracted Audrey's attention. Wearing golden alloy armor and flying in the air, it is hard not to attract attention.

Clown landed beside the female knight and bowed slightly:

"Good day, beautiful lady."

"Good day, may the moon god be with you." Audrey wanted to say a blessing. She looked up at the sun in the sky and laughed:

"It feels a bit strange to say such words as blessing the moon god under the sun."

Clown laughed loudly, he stopped laughing and said:

"The project is progressing very fast. When will it be completed?"

"It will be completed in half a month. The building will be treated with secret methods and you can move in in a few days. Are you here to discuss the wedding date?"

Clown nodded, "Yes."

Audrey covered her mouth A smile: "The 20th of the Flowing Fire Month happens to be the festival of the Moon God Church. That day is a good day for the newlyweds to get married."

Quickly calculating the date in his mind, there is still a month left, Clown nodded:

"Okay, please inform my housekeeper if there are any preparations to be made."

Audrey heard the other party's implication and frowned:

"You are getting married soon, and you don't even worry about these things?!"

"I have something urgent to do and need to go out," Clown lowered his voice, "Find a secluded place, I have something to tell you."

The two walked to the grove on the distant hillside, one in front and one behind.

Audrey stopped and looked a little serious:

"Tell me, what's so mysterious?"

Crown told the "official version":

"Something happened in the Holy See. A powerful evil god polluted a large number of believers in dreams and besieged St. Peter's Basilica. A powerful fifth-level evil creature participated in the siege. Pope Osman and a large number of cardinals were martyred. Arthur Saxon succeeded as the new Pope.

I later fought with that evil creature, but it escaped."

He told the other party about the situation, hoping to arouse the other party's vigilance and attention.

Audrey's pupils shrank suddenly. This can be regarded as an event that affects the continent. A pope of the Church of God died in the seat of the Holy See. Have the minions of the evil god become so rampant?

According to the family's records, the Kingdom of Farouk was the last country affected by the war during the last holy war.

Now this country has also shown some chaos, and there may be many crises in the future.

Audrey nodded heavily and said:

"I know what to do. Thanks to the crystal core of the magic circle you supported us, our protective magic circle can completely defend against the fifth-level attack."

"Don't take it lightly. I'm afraid that this evil creature will bear a grudge and follow me here."

Crown couldn't tell her the truth, so he could only hint at the dangers that the other party might face as much as possible.

It's one thing that the magic circle can defend against the fifth-level attack, but whether it can be opened in time is another matter.

Audrey's expression became more cautious: "I will make the best preparations."

"Very good," the rose-gold wings slowly spread out, and Crown nodded slightly: "Goodbye."

"Don't you want to see Eliza?"

"No, there's a long way to go."
