Chapter 465 Invasion

Colin followed Raiden out of the study, walked through the corridor, and after turning a few intersections, the two of them arrived at the depths of the Meredith City Council Hall.

This is a secret teleportation array hall. Leiden took him on the teleportation array and finally came to a secret room.

There were two people in the secret room at this time, sitting opposite each other on the sofa against the wall, chatting about something.

The man on the left has a majestic figure, and the platinum wizard robe of the Ishtar School he is wearing is stretched tight by his strong muscles. He is obviously Yates from the Ishtar School that Leden mentioned.

The witch on the right who looks particularly petite next to Yates is obviously Mir. She looks ordinary at first glance and is only wearing an ordinary light blue witch robe. Other than that, she has no other decorations on her body. Not even a badge.

However, after taking a second look, when you touch Mil's light-colored eyes, you will feel that her whole person is so harmonious, like an orchid in an empty valley, with a unique and quiet temperament, even the ordinary light blue witch The robe also looked particularly beautiful, and Yates, who should have been more conspicuous beside him, suddenly became dim and could only be reduced to a foil.

"Lord Mir, I'm here with Colin." Raiden said loudly as he led Colin in.

Mir nodded slightly and looked at Colin: "Is this the wizard you said is as powerful as you, hates the gods to the bone, and is unwilling to be mediocre?"

Colin was stunned for a moment. He was powerful in battle... It seemed true that he hated the gods deeply... but also a little bit. Who among the wizards in this world didn't hate the gods?

Not willing to be mediocre...

"Yes, Colin is the heroic wizard who has repeatedly thwarted the gods' conspiracies. Last time, even the fourth-level ambush sent by the gods could not stop him!"

"It's just good luck..." Colin quickly explained.

Mir glanced at him and smiled softly, "I happened to be talking to Yates about the mission. It has just begun. Since Colin is also here, we can talk about it together."

Colin nodded and sat on the left side of Mir, while Raiden sat opposite him.

"Before I start explaining the specific content of the mission, I need to confirm that you have confirmed that you want to participate in this mission, right?"

After Colin sat down, Mir continued to ask.

"Sure." Colin replied calmly. He had already made up his mind before coming, and of course he would not hesitate anymore.

"Okay, then I will briefly talk about this mission." Mir nodded, then looked around at the three people in front of him and emphasized:

"This mission is very important. After what I have said, no matter what the reason is, even if you want to quit, you can only stay here temporarily. You can only regain your freedom after the mission is over. Do you understand? "

"Understood." Colin and the other three replied in unison.

Mir nodded and began to speak formally:

"Our mission is codenamed 'Invasion'. To put it simply, the main content is to sneak into Lan Shengxi Island, the center of the seven islands in the south, to set up a teleportation array to assist the Strong Wall Plan."

Mir's words are brief, but the amount of information is extremely large.

Are you going to sneak behind the gods?

‘There are also seven islands in the south. ’ Colin also keenly captured a familiar word.

"The specific execution date of the mission is tentatively scheduled for one week later. Before then, the preparation we need to make is to familiarize ourselves with the knowledge of setting up teleportation arrays. During the period, there will be assessments, and only the wizards who pass the final can participate in the formal operations."

Do you still need to take an assessment?

In this case, the wizards involved in the operation were obviously not just four as Raiden said... Colin thought to himself.

"Your Excellency Mir, didn't you say there are only four of us?" Raiden was also slightly startled and asked subconsciously.

"I never said there were only four people. I just told you that there is also Yates, asking you if you have any suitable candidates to recommend..." Mir shook his head gently, and his gentle face made Leiden unable to get angry.

Mil paused and then continued: "This operation is of great importance, and even I don't know the complete picture of the operation."

"We're just part of the plan."

"As for the Strong Wall Plan, I do know something about it, but I can't tell you yet. You just need to know that if you pass the test, you will go to Lan Shengxi Island with me to set up the teleportation array."

After Mir said this, he paused for a moment and asked again: "You can still choose to quit now. Do you want to choose to quit?"

After waiting for a few seconds and seeing everyone shaking their heads, Mir continued:

"Since no one has quit, just follow me and I will take you to get a brief introduction to the training place."

After saying that, Mir stood up and took the lead to walk out.

He cast a spell to open the door to the secret room, and a breeze came to him with the familiar salty and moist smell. Colin followed him out of the secret room, looking at the large blue in front of him, and was slightly startled...Have they already reached the sea?

"This is Krall Island, located to the north of the three Pala Islands, and also at the back of the wizarding front." Raiden added in due course.

Colin nodded slightly.

When he was teleporting before, he felt that the teleportation distance might be very far, but he didn't expect that he would go directly from Meredith City to the sea front!

Krall Island is not big, it is a typical small island with a bulge in the middle. At this moment, they are standing on the gentle slope to the south.

This is a group of white buildings with different heights and styles, but the same thing is that many traces of repairs can be seen, and some remaining murals can be seen on some walls.

Colin speculated that these might be the traces left by the believers after the gods occupied the island in the past.

Following Mir up the path on the hillside, Colin continued to look at the sea on the right.

As the position rises, the scene of the distant sea becomes clearer.

A large number of steel fleets are gathering on the blue sea, like a group of huge swimming whales. From the flags and paintings on it, it can be clearly seen that it is the wizard's fleet.

Beyond the wizard fleet, and further forward, there are three islands distributed diagonally and surrounded by the fleet of gods. They are obviously the three islands of Pala.

Moving his gaze closer, Colin suddenly saw a group of people doing strange behaviors in the gently sloping clearing a little further away.

Some of them were clenching their fists and muttering to themselves, some were running around the open space, and some were sitting on the ground with their eyes broken.

"Those were the original ordinary residents of the island." Leiden noticed his gaze and explained with a sigh: "When the gods arrived, they were hypnotized and brainwashed by the priests and believed in the gods. Now it is difficult for them to return to their normal lives. "

Colin nodded, suddenly thought of something and asked: "Are all the residents there?"

"Of course not." Leiden shook his head, "After strict inspection, ordinary people who can return to normal life have been sent to a specially arranged island for further treatment. What is left now are ordinary people with more serious conditions. ."

Colin was silent. Although the wizard side regained the island, they could only take back the land, but the available population was greatly reduced.

This is true for ordinary believers. For those who become priests or bishops, although Leiden did not explain their fate, it is obvious that they can only die.

After going back and forth, if the number of people who can pass the inspection and return to the wizard's side is half of the original number, it will be good.

And these ordinary people who have believed in gods, even if they pass various inspections, may not be able to completely rest assured in a short time... at least they will not be able to rest assured that qualified children will be selected as fresh blood to train wizards.

"We're here." Mir suddenly stopped.

Colin looked back.

Beyond Mir's figure, a huge castle shrouded in a translucent defensive shield appeared in sight.

At this moment they were outside the iron fence outside the castle.

Mir waved his hand and opened the black iron door in front of him, led everyone in, stopped in the open space in front of the castle, and finally said:

"The relevant training will start on time at nine o'clock in the evening. It will be on the basement level of the castle. Don't be late."

"Before this, you can move around freely. If you want to rest, you can go to the unoccupied guest room on the first floor of the castle, but you cannot leave here."

After saying this, Mir flew away, as if he had other things to do.

"I didn't expect that there would be an assessment and training..." Leiden sighed, looked at him apologetically and said, "I didn't know this beforehand."

"It doesn't matter, the mission is so important, it would be abnormal if these links were not available." Colin shook his head gently.

When I first came into contact with Raiden, I thought he looked cold and powerful, a wizard with a deep heart.

But now it seems that it is obviously an illusion. It is probably because the relationship was still relatively unfamiliar at the beginning and Leiden talked less.

"What are you two going to do next?" Yates asked friendlyly.

Leiden did not answer, but turned to look at Colin and asked: "Where is Mr. Colin, what are you going to do next?"

Colin thought for a while and asked: "I wonder if there is any information about gods on the island. I just came to the front line and there is a lot of information that I don't know yet."

"It turns out that this is your first time coming to the front line." Yates was a little surprised. "There is a simple library on the third floor of the castle. I remember that you can find some information about the gods in it. But for more details, you have to go to the larger library next to it. It can only be found on Delshan Island."

"Thank you." Colin nodded his thanks.

He had previously searched for knowledge related to gods in the Supreme Council because of the blood of gods, but there were only a few articles. Most of the knowledge about gods could only be found on the front lines.

"I'll go with you, nothing happens." Raiden said.

"Okay." Colin nodded, confidently.

"I won't go. I have to attend training in the evening and plan to take a short break." Yates said from the side.

So the three of them said goodbye. Yates went to the guest room on the first floor of the castle to rest, while Colin and Raiden came to the third floor together.

"Has Mr. Leiden been staying on the front line recently?" Colin asked on the stairs to the third floor.

"Recently, yes." Raiden nodded, "Since the defense line of Teia Strait was broken, I have been staying on the battlefield and following my mentor to kill the enemy."

"Your Excellency told me before that most of the Pope-level believers are physically strong and not inferior in spirit...isn't the actual combat ability slightly stronger than that of wizards of the same level?" Colin continued to ask.

"That's not the case." Leiden shook his head. "Whether it's the Pope or the Grand Pope, their power is only given by the gods. They have no power, but they are not as easy to use as wizards. So generally speaking, the actual combat power is not as good as that of the same level. All wizards are stronger than believers of gods."

"The only exception is the clones of gods. The clones of gods of the same level are indeed stronger than ordinary wizards in terms of actual combat capabilities. Especially the clones of gods that come through the bodies of believers are much stronger than ordinary wizards."

When Raiden said this, there was no fear in his eyes, but a hint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

"Do you know the different types of god clones?"

"I know a little bit, but I don't really understand." Colin shook his head.

"There are two main types of clones of gods, one is projection, and the other is clone." Raiden explained,

"The projection is invisible and has no special sustenance to come. It is generally weak in power and will not exceed the third level. It is closer to us in all aspects and is less resistant to witchcraft that specifically deals with souls."

"The clone needs a suitable god believer to sacrifice himself. As a carrier of the god's arrival, his strength is usually at least level two, and he has almost no special weaknesses, and his resistance to various witchcraft is very high."

"As for the true clone, it is a special name for the clone of the god who has reached the fourth level of strength, and the requirements for the required descending carrier are very strict.

Those believers who are suitable as carriers are also called sons of God or goddesses in the Church of God. "

Colin nodded slightly, thoughts flashing in his eyes.

The more he listened to this god's clone, the more he felt that it was similar to his current power. At least it also followed the path of equal emphasis on body and soul!

Colin let out a subtle breath, and walked faster. Although he tried his best to suppress it, his heart was still a little surging.

An idea that sounded a bit shocking gradually emerged in his mind——

‘Perhaps, you don’t have to rely on the blood of gods, but by studying the clones of gods, you might also be able to find your own way forward? ’

With this in mind, Colin came to the library on the third floor.

He took out the member's badge and reached out to the crystal in the center of the library. He couldn't wait to start searching for knowledge about the gods.

After a brief search, a large amount of information about gods suddenly appeared on the light screen in front of him.

‘Now five gods have actually appeared. When I checked from behind, there were only four gods: the Lord of Flesh and Thorns, the Demon God of Venom and Wrath, the Lord of Gold and Lava, and the Goddess of Night and Hunting. ’

‘Is there an extra Lord of Winter? That is the god who appears outside Graham City in the north. ’

The wizards named the gods mainly based on their characteristics rather than the real names of the gods.

Sometimes due to information lag, the same deity would have multiple names, such as the goddess of night and hunting, and sometimes also the goddess of night and blood.

"The Lord of Winter, it is said that he looks like a strong man with blue hair, but he is the most human-like among them." Raiden also checked with him and added at this time.

Colin nodded slightly and continued to look down.

In this way, by the evening, I had the most basic understanding of the message from the gods.

It's a pity that he didn't see any research on the power of gods that he wanted to know.

Maybe it's because studying the power of gods also involves the risk of corruption, or maybe that kind of knowledge cannot be found on this small island.

Colin has no way of knowing what the specific situation is, and he has no time to delve deeper.

The orange sunset sank below the sea level, and evening had arrived.

He and Raiden came to the underground level together to prepare for training.
