Chapter 379 Current Situation on the Mainland
After intense training in the afternoon and half of the night, Geralt's perception finally reached the third level.
Crown said: "This level of golden light spell is enough for you for the time being. You can use Del to order a weapon with the evil-killing seal. This weapon has stronger damage to dark creatures and does not affect your use of sword oil. .
In addition, the Golden Light Seal can dye items to give them certain demon-breaking properties, but only metals can maintain this property for a long time.
When I come back from the Kingdom of Namibia, I will help you increase the level of the Golden Light Spell. "
"Okay," Geralt's tone was a little excited. After learning many secret techniques, both his combat effectiveness and survivability have improved a lot.
These are not the most important, because the golden light spell also has the function of increasing the source of life and repairing the body's hidden injuries, and as time accumulates, the benefits of the golden light spell will become greater and greater.
After visualizing the Golden Light Spell to accumulate for a period of time, he can start preparing for the trial ceremony.
"The sunfire liquid and moon dew obtained by visualizing are the materials for releasing the secret technique. The excess materials can be sold to me, and you can get the corresponding container from William later.
Containers for sunburn liquid and moon dew cannot be mixed, this must be kept in mind.”
Crown said a lot of things to note, and Geralt took note of them carefully. Finally, the witcher asked a little embarrassedly:
"Your Excellency, do you have any extra skills like this?"
He wants to help Yennefer get one, and his apprentice Allen also needs one. Everyone deserves to have such a good thing.
"There is nothing extra for the time being." Crown currently only has two Tao species left.
He went to the Kingdom of Namibia to attend a meeting, and he might be able to use it. If he could make a name for himself among other high-level supernatural beings in the church, it would not only enhance the strength of his allies, but also quickly gain proficiency.
The resurrection of the evil god is getting closer and closer, and allies are getting stronger, which can increase human strength and share the firepower.
The condition for obtaining the latest Tao type of the fifth-level golden light spell is to reach half the proficiency level, which is still relatively early.
"Are you asking for Tao seeds for other people?" Crown laughed, "In two months, I will be able to create a batch of new Tao seeds, and I will leave a few for you."
Geralt said gratefully: "Two are enough."
"Okay, it's already very late. Let Billy take you to the guest room to rest."
"Good night, Your Excellency."
The two separated, and Crown returned to the bedroom. Elisa was still asleep, and she whispered:
"You gave Geralt a Tao Seed. Now you only have two Tao Seeds that you can take out, right?"
"You're really good at arithmetic. Three minus one equals two, that's right."
"Hmph, don't interrupt. I ask you one thing. Keep these two Tao seeds. If you meet the family master in the Kingdom of Namibia, leave the Tao seeds to them."
Eliza still has a deep affection for her family, and she has not received any unfair treatment in the family, so she wants to leave this benefit to the family.
"If I really meet Mr. Greno, I can leave one for him, and I have other plans for the other.
Now this situation is all their choice. I once promised to give them fifteen Tao seeds, but they are still not sure about the candidate. This is a waste of my resources.
However, I will be able to obtain a new batch of Tao seeds in more than a month. If the McClain family is interested, I will leave enough Tao seeds, provided that they are willing to take the Tao seeds immediately. "
Crown did not fully agree to his wife's request, he had his own plan.
Without taking the Tao seed, it is impossible to produce proficiency. Wasting time is just a waste of money and life.
Eliza hugged him and said warmly:
“You decide, and what I hope is that, all things being equal, you will give priority to the MacLean family.
We all know that the day when the evil god comes is getting closer and closer. Every time we are stronger, we are safer. "
As a child of a large family who had experienced the previous era, she vaguely knew the true situation of the Holy War from the conversations of the family head and others, and was not optimistic about the situation promoted by the church.
"The Kingdom of Budamia is too far away from us, and it is inconvenient to do many things, but don't worry, I will help take care of the branch of the MacLean family near Hamers City."
The two chatted for a while and began to communicate physically, and the room was filled with spring light.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Crown said goodbye to everyone and set off for St. Peter's Cathedral in Bligh City, where he met Pope Arthur first.
Before leaving, he told Del to urge Rubart to practice the giant bear breathing method and adapt to the forging of evil-killing weapons as soon as possible.
Now that he has two blacksmiths who have obtained the Golden Light Taoist Seed, he will have weapons for his escort troops in the future.
He calibrated the direction, entered the automatic cruise mode, and drove the Silver Dragon Roaring Moon.
This breathing method can increase his combat effectiveness at night, and night is when the evil god and his retinue are most active, so it is necessary to increase his proficiency in it, at least to the same level as Breath of the Flame Dragon.
A silver dragon soul appeared beside him. It looked similar to the dragon soul of Breath of the Flame Dragon, the only difference being the color of the scales.
The slightly cool feeling that is obviously different from the Breath of the Flame Dragon flows quietly in the body. In the flying trajectory, the water vapor condenses into fine ice particles and scatters down one after another, reflecting dreamy colors in the sunlight.
From a distance, it looks like an ice bird that does not belong to this world has descended into the mortal world, weaving a colorful dream.
As the breathing method was used, the chill emanating from his body became stronger and stronger, but his body did not feel any discomfort. Instead, his mind became more and more active and exceptionally clear.
He had an intuition that when the Silver Dragon Howling Moon Breathing Method was used, the Life Qi contained the power of the Taiyin Law, which greatly improved his will resistance and increased his resistance to the pollution law.
When the Flame Dragon Breath was used, the Life Qi contained the power of the Sun Law, which would automatically ignite the Purification Pollution Law.
This meant that no matter how he fought, the strange power of the evil god could not cause much interference to him. Now he was looking forward to his ability after advancing to the Golden Stigma, and he didn't know if he was qualified to compete with the evil god.
Clown could now clearly feel that the practice of breathing method also required the right time. The best time to practice Silver Dragon Howling Moon was at night. Practicing during the day would feel a little condensed, but he didn't care. It was the right thing to do to improve the breathing method as soon as possible.
The speed of the flying magic was faster than the fastest airship. It took only a little more than two days for Clown to enter the territory of Bray City.
It was early morning, the sun rose from the east, thousands of golden lights dispelled the gray fog covering the surroundings, and the towering dome of St. Peter's Basilica shone with ruby-red light under the sun.
A faint sense of joy rose in his heart, he summoned the golden wall, and a golden purple handwriting appeared in his eyes.
[Golden Light Mantra: 213856/500000; Level 5]
[Flame Dragon Breath: 46153/240000; Level 2]
[Silver Dragon Howling Moon: 108394/120000; Level 1]
More and more people have obtained Tao seeds, and the progress of the Golden Light Mantra is gratifying, but the progress of the two breathing methods is slow.
During this period, Clown found that if he practiced the Flame Dragon Breath during the day and the Silver Dragon Howling Moon at night, the chemical reaction between the two breathing methods exceeded the blessing of the Golden Light Mantra on both.
When the Silver Dragon Howling Moon is upgraded to the second level, he will practice in this way.
In the past, the progress of the breathing method was faster than that of the Golden Light Mantra, but now the proficiency of the Golden Light Mantra has increased far more than that of the breathing method. I don’t know what kind of changes will occur.
His flying speed is very fast, and he soon arrived at the edge of the city of Bly.
Clown converged his breathing method and landed from the sky at the airship parking lot, and then found the church’s carriage:
“Go to St. Peter’s Basilica.”
It should have been explained in advance, the coachman actually recognized him:
“Your Excellency Clown, please go in. His Majesty has ordered that if you meet you, please go directly to the Pope’s Hall.”
“Got it.”
After getting on the carriage, Clown was bored and dazed.
Practicing breathing method made too much noise, and visualizing the special effects of the Golden Light Mantra was conspicuous. For a moment, he didn’t know what to do.
There was really nothing to do, so he began to think about the current situation in the world.
The world is known to have a continent and several islands, and there are seven existing churches of gods, namely the Church of the Lord of Flame in the Kingdom of Farouk, the Church of the Lord of Storm in the Kingdom of Hinterland, the Church of the God of Knowledge in the Kingdom of Rebia, the Church of the God of Life in the Kingdom of Namiia, the Church of the God of Harvest in the Kingdom of Talon, the Church of the Moon in the Kingdom of Budamia, and the Church of the Sun in the Kingdom of Arashi.
Each church has a strong exclusivity, and it is impossible for two churches to exist in the same kingdom at the same time, but there are also alliances between gods.
For example, the relationship between the three gods of knowledge, life and harvest is relatively harmonious, and the relationship between the three churches is relatively close, but it is rumored that the power of the three gods is the weakest among the gods, so they keep each other warm.
The two gods, the Lord of Flame and the Lord of Storm, both have a hot temper, and their popularity among the gods is a little worse. The Moon God and the Sun God are the two strongest gods, and the power of the two churches is also the largest.
The purpose of the joint meeting led by the Church of the God of Life was beyond Clown's guess. Logically speaking, even if such a meeting was held, the presiding church should be the most powerful Church of the Sun God.
He was not concerned about the situation of other churches on the continent. After thinking for a while, he could not figure out a reason, so he simply stared blankly.
On the wide roads in the prosperous area of Bligh City, carriages were all running. Steam locomotives were not popular among the nobles because of their excessive noise.
Time passed slowly in the sound of "clack, clack" of horse hooves. No matter how long the journey was, there was a time to reach the end.
The coachman stopped the carriage skillfully, bent down and opened the door:
"Sir, we have arrived at St. Peter's Basilica."
Clown got off the carriage and was immediately welcomed into the Pope's Hall by the Pope's attendant.
Arthur walked down the steps and greeted him personally, saying enthusiastically:
"I thought you would arrive this afternoon, fortunately we have arranged staff to wait in the parking lot."
After not seeing him for a while, why is this guy so enthusiastic? Clown wondered in his heart, but said gently and humbly:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but what if I go through the city gate?"
"Haha, all the captains guarding the city gates have also been notified, unless you fly directly into the city, but that will make it easier to be discovered and will not be missed."
Arthur paused and continued:
"Your Excellency has been traveling all the way, and you must have not had breakfast. Why don't we have breakfast together?"
"I am really hungry."
Clown only brought some dry food, and he was indeed sleeping in the open. The reason why he did not take the airship was that he wanted to take this opportunity to practice flying magic.
Practicing flying magic usually requires time. In the past few days, while enjoying high-speed flight, you can also improve the proficiency of Silver Dragon Xiaoyue. It's a two-birds-at-one-stone, very refreshing.
After breakfast, the two returned to the Pope's Hall. After sitting down, Clown asked:
"Your Majesty, what do you think of this joint meeting? From what I know, the Church of the God of Life will never do such a thing."
He couldn't figure out the complicated relationships between the churches, but as the Pope, the other party must know what these secret relationships are.
If he wants to succeed the Pope after Osman escapes, it will probably take a long time to sort out these relationships.
"It is imperative to hold a joint meeting to discuss the joint resistance against the evil god. The reason why the God of Life held the meeting is that they have mastered a certain secret method that can replenish the damaged life source.
You should have heard that the current batch of popes were crowned around the time of the red moon. At that time, the spiritual concentration of the world did not support the normal means of advancing to the silver level. They could only use a certain array with secret methods to achieve the transition of the essence of life.
The price of using secret methods is to damage the life source, and there is no other way.
The lifespans of the popes have generally reached the end, because they did not get more life supplements by advancing to the silver level abnormally, and their hope of advancing to the fifth level was cut off. Absolutely.
It should be that after the concentration of spirituality in the world increases, the Church of the God of Life can produce some special medicines to replenish the source of life.
For the old popes who have held power for many years, the Church of the God of Life can prolong their lives and let them go further, which is a great favor, so their proposal to hold a meeting will go very smoothly.
But as far as I know, the Church of the God of Life must have reached some agreement with a top church behind the scenes, and wants to gain some benefits through the meeting. "
The pope talked a lot, breaking up the grievances between the churches and telling them out. After listening to it, Clown was like seeing the sun through the clouds, and he slightly recognized the current complex relationship on the continent.
Arthur took a sip of red wine to moisten his throat, and said softly:
"The law of the Sun God includes two aspects: light and heat, and the law of my Lord is also reflected in these two aspects. Therefore, we do not get along well with the Church of the Sun God, and even have a bad relationship.
In the past, the two churches were far apart in sphere of influence, so they lived in peace, but it is hard to say if they can get along together.
There may be some friction in this meeting. We must try to avoid the situation from escalating. If someone provokes, please be patient."
The reason why he specifically reminded him was because he knew the real strength of the guy in front of him. It can be said that if there was no magic circle, the other party would definitely beat everyone.
However, showing strength at this time would cause fear from all parties, and they might unite to pit them, which he did not want to see.
