Chapter 358 You're Not Lying to Me
Ten days later, Clown returned to Hammers.
It was a bit too late. After the cardinals took the seeds, the level of the Golden Light Mantra was only upgraded to level three. He would help them upgrade when he had free time in the future.
Now, these cardinals can provide him with about 200 points of proficiency every day. When the spell level of these people is raised to level four, the improvement of the Golden Light Mantra will be on the fast track.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, William rushed over:
"Your Majesty, you are finally back!"
Behind him, another person walked out, and Tiffany had a helpless smile on her face:
"My good brother, the wedding will be held in a few days. Where have you been?! I heard from the housekeeper that your dress has not been made yet."
"It's still in time," Clown shook his head awkwardly.
When he left Rhine City, he asked Flanders to arrange an airship to send his sister's family to Hammers and help prepare for the wedding.
As a result, he was away for ten days, and many jobs had to be confirmed by his presence, such as custom-made dresses.
"We come from a small family, and I don't know how to hold a wedding and what kind of specifications we should have. If Fanny hadn't come to help, we would have made a fool of ourselves."
Tiffany breathed a sigh of relief. The object of the marriage was a noble family, and the wedding ceremony was particularly complicated. She couldn't handle it at all.
It was mainly because she always had a faint sense of inferiority in her heart. Recently, she had more contact with Audrey, Fanny and others, and found it difficult to integrate into the world of people like them.
Crown smiled gently, hugged his sister, and said:
"Rules are set by people. We can remove those complicated links. I will go and communicate with Audrey."
He was also tired of those red tapes and thought that it didn't need to be so complicated.
"Don't," Tiffany hurriedly pulled him back and waved her hand: "Do you know that the sense of ceremony is very important to Eliza?! Besides, if you do this, the McLean family may misunderstand that you don't respect them enough. Now that you are back, I will explain all the details of the wedding to you, so that you can have a clear idea." As she said this, she was about to pull Clown in. "Madam," William smiled bitterly, "I will notify the tailor now to come and make a dress for you first. A total of three dresses will be made, and there is not much time left for the tailor." "Yes, that's right," Tiffany patted her forehead, "I'm almost dizzy these days. Let's go to the study to discuss things. You can ask the tailor to find us there." "Okay." William bowed slightly, and then hurried away. Osman stared at his reflection in the water, his brown skin, his face became blurred, and strips of fleshy whiskers hung from his cheeks and jaw. The fleshy whiskers seemed to have their own consciousness, and from time to time they were entangled with each other, as if communicating something. He stretched out his hand, and in the middle of his palm, his green eyes opened, and two special perspectives appeared in his vision.
Faced with this situation, he did not feel strange at all, but rather found it very interesting.
Unconsciously, his aesthetics became distorted.
Behind him, there were several bear-like monsters that had turned into mummies.
Osman absorbed the life essence of the monsters, and after a few days of recuperation, his broken arm grew back.
The sun had risen, and the gray fog slowly dissipated. Osman walked into the water, and his shadow gradually became transparent and merged with the water.
This is the Taina River. He went downstream, and the next destination was the Kingdom of Ribia.
He tried to find out that the cities around the city of Bray were all on guard, and the protective magic circle had been opened. It was a bit difficult to create a demon beast army again, so it was better to go to neighboring countries to look for opportunities.
His most coveted target was Klauen, but the previous fight made him realize that he was not his opponent yet. If he wanted to kill him and devour his blood essence, he needed to become stronger.
Although Osman's appearance and psychology had become inhuman, his intelligence was still online. He knew that the church would not publicize his transformation into a monster.
As long as he acted carefully and started a few massacres in the Kingdom of Ribia, it would be difficult to be discovered in a short time.
At that time, he led the evil beast army to capture cities and territories, and when the army reached a certain size, he would return to the Kingdom of Farouk with a thunderous force.
He had a strong premonition that as long as he could devour the blood essence of Clown, he would be able to make a big step forward.
The statue of the God of Knowledge was a kind old man with white beard and hair, holding a scepter in his left hand and a book forged with pure gold in his right hand.
His eyebrows drooped to his ears, and his eyes contained a wise and kind light.
Anthony Bond finished praying and stood up. He walked to the window, his eyes swept across the towering bell tower and the slightly shorter chimney, and fell into deep thought.
The Kingdom of Ribia was sandwiched between Sintland and Farouk, and its relations with the Church of the Lord of Storms and the Church of the Lord of Fire were not harmonious.
The situation in Sintland has become very bad now. A steady stream of murlocs cross the territory of Sintland and enter Ribia.
The entire Taina River Basin is ravaged by murlocs, and he has to send more forces to deal with the threat of murlocs.
However, if Sintland still allows so many murlocs to cross the border, they will be trapped in the quagmire of war.
No matter how powerful a country is, it will be dragged down if it is caught in an endless war of attrition.
Now, the fate of the Kingdom of Ribia has reached a crossroads, and he is facing a choice.
If we don't help Sintland, the fishmen will continue to enter the country, but helping Sintland is equivalent to using our own strength to do things for our neighbors.
No matter what we do, we will suffer.
"Dong, Dong", the knock on the door interrupted his meditation.
Anthony concealed his solemn emotions and put on a confident and calm smile: "Come in."
The person who came in was an older man with gray hair, but clear and bright eyes.
The old man bowed respectfully and presented a document with both hands:
"Your Holiness, the Farouk Kingdom sent a notice, I think it is very important."
Anthony raised his eyebrows: "What important things can these barbarians hiding in the snowy land have?"
He took the document and opened it. There were few words on it, only a few lines, but the information conveyed was a lot.
St. Peter's Cathedral was attacked by cultists, and Osman Druk, the Pope of the Church of the Lord of Fire, died in battle, and Arthur Saxon succeeded to the throne of Pope.
Every thing is not a trivial matter, and when connected together, it becomes a vortex of trouble.
There were cultists who could appear in Hephaestus's church and attack the church that symbolized the gods. The Pope died in battle. These news made him feel absurd.
This is the church that has been fighting with him for many years without losing? ! Being able to make such a low-level mistake, the "reputation" of the Church of the Lord of Fire will surely spread widely on the continent.
It is not good news that Arthur succeeded as the new Pope. The two countries have a dispute over territory, which is a small island called Bird Island located in the middle of the Taina River.
The Church of the Lord of Fire has never recognized the occupation of the Kingdom of Ribia here, and the royal family of Farouk is a staunch advocate of war.
The two countries have had countless small-scale conflicts because of the dispute over the island, and the island has changed hands several times. It was not until more than a hundred years ago that the conflict eased.
Now that the Saxon family has come to power, it means another eventful time.
"Your Majesty, according to intelligence, on the day when St. Peter's Cathedral was besieged, the fire burned half of the city of Bly. Now the Farouk Kingdom must be in a mess.
We might as well use some means to make them more chaotic."
The old man looked at Anthony with a scorching gaze, and a cold breath burst out of his eyes.
Several talented members of his family died in the battle for Bird Island, and the whole family hated everything in the Farouk Kingdom.
Anthony shook his head gently:
"I also wish that all these barbarians would die, but if the situation in the Farouk Kingdom gets out of control, those evil god families will definitely not miss this opportunity.
The Farouk Kingdom is not useless, they also involve the forces of two evil god families.
When Osman was still alive, didn't he say that the fifth-level evil god family soul-eating jellyfish appeared in the Andes Mountains? If such a strong evil god family enters Ruibia, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble."
He disliked the Farouk Kingdom very much, but as a competitor, he attached great importance to the intelligence collection work on Farouk.
"Haha, Osman actually boasted that he killed two fifth-level creatures, and his side was unscathed. Such news is simply an insult to people's IQ! I don't believe it.
Besides, those golden families have not yet produced fifth-level extraordinary people, so how can the remote place of Farouk Kingdom be worthy of it?
Anyway, as long as we don't go to verify the truth of the matter in person, it's up to them to make it up."
Anthony did not reply. With his understanding of Osman, the other party would not spread such ridiculous false news.
Another important point is that the churches have announced that they will unite to fight against the coming of the evil god.
Doing small actions at this time will cause disgust from other churches and greatly damage the reputation of the church.
No one likes people who stab their teammates in the back. If they do this, they will definitely be suspected by other churches.
"Your Majesty, this is a good time. We can send a large force to the banks of the Taine River to drive away the fishmen chasing the water in disguise.
We don't need to do anything deliberately, as long as we drive as many of these fishmen upstream as possible, we can naturally kill people with a knife.
This kills two birds with one stone, weakening the enemy and making the problems we face much simpler."
Anthony thought for a long time and responded:
"Do it covertly and don't arouse suspicion from those who have ulterior motives."
"Don't worry, I'm the best at this kind of thing."
Hamers City, Solent Street No. 9.
The mansion was decorated with lights and a lively scene. The best man group had arrived, but the groom was still nowhere to be seen.
Crown was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the bedroom at this time, meditating on the golden light spell.
He felt that the time was almost up, ended the visualization, and summoned the golden wall.
[Golden Light Spell: 235866/300000; Level 4]
[Flame Dragon Breath: 83578/120000; Level 1]
His proficiency is steadily increasing, and the day when he advances to Level 6 is not far away.
Even if he no longer seeks the Alien Land to "earn extra money", two months is enough for him to make further progress.
'It seems that there is no second Level 5 Transcendent on the continent, and I have advanced to Level 6. Isn't it a bit too conspicuous? '
Crown thought narcissistically in his heart. After washing up, he opened the door, and then he saw his brother-in-law Rodney Wilkerson standing at the door with his arms raised.
Rodney said in an exaggerated tone:
"Oh, dear Crown, I thought you were too excited last night and fell asleep too late and forgot the time!
Today is a big occasion, I think you will always remember everything that happened today.
Are you ready to go out and meet the bride? "
He tried his best to make his tone friendly. Thanks to his brother-in-law, he has now reached the level of a third-order extraordinary person, which was unimaginable before.
He knew that the reason why he could make such rapid progress was that hard work accounted for only a small part, and the biggest help was the brotherhood's dedicated training.
But he knew very well in his heart what virtue he had to let the brotherhood spend so much energy on him.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, I'm ready."
"Let's go now, the wedding car is ready, and the eight horses pulling the car are all white, without a trace of stray hair. It took me a lot of effort to find so many white horses. "
Crown led a large wedding procession to the McLean family's residence outside the city.
Entering the castle, the buildings inside were extremely luxurious.
After the cumbersome ceremony, everyone came to the central cathedral of Hamers.
Flanders was the wedding host and pastor. With his loud announcement, the wedding entered the most important part:
"Crown, the Lord of Fire has given you the glory of fire, giving you endless courage to shoulder the responsibility of the head of the family. Now, let us cheer for the newlyweds. The Lord of Fire will illuminate their way forward. "
As his voice fell, the holy fire in the church niche suddenly shone brightly, and the flame jumped more than one meter high.
The applause was like a rushing wave, one wave higher than the other, and it lasted for a long time.
Under the witness of the gods, the newlyweds made a sacred vow, and everyone went to the tavern to get drunk.
After the sunset cast the last ray of afterglow, the gray fog dominated the world.
Crown looked out the window and felt that the fog was also a bit gentle.
He closed the window, drew the curtains, and approached his bride.
At this moment, Eliza was sitting at the table, with a shy face.
Crown stretched out his hand, put it in front of her, and smiled:
"For you."
In the palm of his hand, there was a heart-shaped pendant and a silver bean painted with gold threads.
The pendant was a bright heart pendant infused with moonlight, and the silver bean was of course the only remaining golden light Taoist seed.
"So beautiful," Eliza picked up the pendant and the Taoist seed, "Please help me wear it. "
Crown followed suit, picked up the pendant and put it on her, explaining:
"This is a strange item, with a strong calming effect and anti-pollution effect. If spiritual pollution invades you, it can emit spiritual light to protect you."
Eliza raised the Golden Light Dao Seed, and raised her eyebrows slightly:
"Thank you, I like it very much. What is this? I always feel that it has a mysterious attraction. "
"This is a holy item that can stimulate a certain blood power, called the Golden Light Dao Seed."
Crown said, releasing the Moon Spirit Shield.
The two people flashed silver light, and then he released the Golden Armor Technique, and the room was bright with golden light.
"If you take the Dao Seed, you can also release such a spell, and there are many other functions."
Inexplicably, Clown felt that he was the wolf grandmother who coaxed Little Red Riding Hood, and couldn't help laughing.
Eliza's eyes lit up with a different look, and she could feel the effects of the two spells:
"Just eating this little bean, you can have such an ability? You are not lying to me, right? ! ”
