Transmigrating into a world shrouded in gray mist and marked by the awakening of eldritch gods, Crown finds himself in a realm overrun by madness and chaos. Dreams echo with the whispers of insanit...
Chapter 374 New Channel
There were so few level three transcendents in the branch of the McLean family in Hamers City. Crown couldn't help but feel surprised. He looked at Eliza in confusion.
There are currently dozens of third-order extraordinary people in the Rhine Diocese. The McLean family is known to be a top force comparable to the royal families of various countries. Why is the branch so shabby?
Eliza understood what her husband meant and used the Golden Light Seed to convey a message to him: "Not many family elites are willing to develop here. After all, the opportunity to obtain high-level resources here is much smaller than that of the family headquarters, at least for now."
Klauen nodded imperceptibly, and his hands clenched slightly. When he opened them again, six more golden Dao seeds appeared inside.
Audrey stood up and walked in front of him, cupping her hands together and bowing slightly. When the Dao Seed was placed in her hands, her eyes were as bright as stars.
Her movements were very careful, as if she was holding the whole world in her hands.
Audrey put away the Dao Seed as if it were a treasure and asked with a smile:
"Freya said that the relevant secret techniques are transmitted through Tao seeds?"
“Yes, you can ask Eliza about matters related to the Tao, she can answer them.
I have some things to deal with at church, so I have to excuse myself now."
Crown stood up. Flanders had just passed on the message that he would arrive in Hamers soon.
"Your Excellency, please keep busy."
Audrey nodded. She didn't know why, but she was subconsciously a little reserved when talking to the other person. But when she talked to Eliza, she didn't have to be so nervous.
Crown immediately left the mansion and took a carriage to the airship berth.
Before he reached his destination, he heard the roar of the airship.
After arriving at the parking lot and waiting for a while, the airship from Rhine City landed.
Flanders got off the airship and the two of them got on a carriage and headed for the central church.
"Can you tell me what happened last night?"
The archbishop was very curious about last night's battle. Logically, the enemy had escaped from Crown once, so there was no reason for them to come again.
Something must have happened that gave the other party the confidence to come to Hamers, clearly seeking revenge, but he miscalculated and paid the price with his life.
Clown smiled faintly and said:
"There's nothing to say, Osman. Actually, we can't call him Osman anymore. He brought ten fifth-level flesh and blood alchemy beasts, and he can control these alchemy beasts to self-destruct."
His tone was steady and calm, but Flanders was horrified. The siege of more than a dozen fifth-tier extraordinary creatures was resolved so easily? !
If the enemy's target is him, he won't survive for more than three seconds.
"Have you become stronger again?"
Flanders felt a sense of absurdity. It had only been a short time since the other party advanced to the fifth level, but why was the improvement in strength so incomprehensible?
"I'm getting stronger by improving a little bit every day," Crane said half-jokingly, and changed the subject:
"I have sent out a carrier pigeon this morning to contact Archbishop Leo and others to gather here."
Osman's death meant that the sword hanging over everyone's head had been taken down. Taking this opportunity, he needed to raise the level of the Golden Light Spell of these silver-level Dao Seed holders.
Judging from Fanny's experience, if the level of the Golden Light Spell of a silver-level transcendent is raised to the fifth level, the proficiency can be increased by more than 120 points every day.
If Audrey and Fujin are included, there are seven silver-level Dao Seed holders in total. All of these people's Golden Light Curse have reached the fifth level, and they can gain more than 700 points of proficiency every day.
With his own visualization plus that of other third-order Dao Seed holders, he gained nearly two thousand points of proficiency every day.
According to the most conservative estimate, he would be able to reach the peak level of the sixth order in half a year at most.
He guessed that in the next six months, more Dao Seed holders would be promoted to the silver level, and his progress would be further accelerated.
Crowne remained calm on the surface, but he was delighted in his heart.
When others improve their extraordinary levels, it always gets slower and slower, but it's different for him, it gets faster and faster.
Flanders smiled and said, "That's great. If our Golden Light Mantra is improved again, we will have the hope of advancing to the fifth level in the future."
In this era when the evil god has descended, every bit of strength you gain is a good thing.
The next day, early morning.
Pisaru Laurent politely said to the guard at the door: "Hello, please inform me that I am Bishop Pisaru from the Kingdom of Ribia, and I have an important matter to discuss with His Excellency Crown."
He had come to Hamers a few days before, but was told that the person he was looking for was away on official business.
Originally he thought the other party wanted to raise the price, but after some inquiries he found out that it was the case, so he had no choice but to wait here anxiously.
Yesterday evening, he received news that the target had returned, so he got up before dawn and waited at No. 9 Solent Street.
It's eight o'clock in the morning, time to finish breakfast, so visiting at this time is not too abrupt.
"It's you again. Please wait a moment. I will go and inform you."
The guard already knew this foreign bishop who had been coming every day in recent days, and his identity had been confirmed by the lady, so he went to report it without hesitation.
Two minutes later the guard returned to the door, and with him was Lord Morrison.
Lord bowed slightly and said, "Welcome, guest from the Church of the God of Knowledge. I am the assistant steward of Lord Crown. The bishop is already waiting for you in the study."
Pisaru immediately straightened his already very neat clothes and said, "Please lead the way, butler."
Finally he got to meet the real boss, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
The other party was the first transcendent in the entire continent to enter the fifth level, while he was only a third-level bishop. The gap in strength between the two was obvious.
In addition, since he needed something from the other party, he was worried that the other party would ask for an exorbitant amount of money.
Although he had found out the approximate price of the Golden Light Potion from the Warlock Brotherhood through secret connections, the quality of the potion he required was very high, so he was worried that the other party would not sell it to save face for the Church of the God of Knowledge. After all, there was still some friction between the two churches.
He took the gift box from his attendant and held it in his arms to show his solemnity.
The group moved at a fast pace. When they arrived at the study, Lord knocked on the half-open door and reported, "Please ask him to come in. Lord Pisaru from the Kingdom of Ribia is here."
Lord opened the door and said to the person behind him:
"Your Excellency, please."
Pisaru saw the appearance of the first fifth-order extraordinary person in the entire continent. He was sitting calmly behind the desk, with a hooked nose, and an awe-inspiring look.
He leaned forward slightly and said, "Sir, this is our first meeting. I brought you some gifts. I wonder if they suit your taste."
The gift was carefully selected, including five pounds of silver and two thousand gold spirit coins.
After receiving the gift box, Crown took a look at it and said with a smile, “Please take a seat.
He pointed to the leather sofa next to him and said, "I don't have any friends in the Church of the God of Knowledge. If you have something to say, please feel free to speak up."
"Your Excellency may wish to take a look at this first. This is a handwritten letter from His Majesty Anthony. Please have a look."
Pisaru held the letter in both hands and slowly handed it to Crown.
"What happened to alarm the Pope of the God of Knowledge?"
Clown became alert, took the letter, quickly read it, and then said:
"So you want to buy some high-quality golden light potions. No problem, I can provide you with the potions, but I hope you need to agree to one more condition."
In the letter, Pope Anthony, the God of Knowledge, first wrote some flattering words about him, and then requested to buy some golden light potions in order to cure the severely polluted silver-level bishops.
Others were very polite, and he was earning gold spirit coins, so he spoke directly and straightforwardly.
"What are the conditions? Please tell me, sir! As long as I can reactivate my brother's state, I'm fine."
The hopes of the Laurent family rest on his elder brother Pierre, so as long as the price is not too outrageous, he is willing to accept it.
Clown clapped his hands slowly and said with a smile:
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
“Your gifts are very much to my liking, so I will accept them. You will have enough golden light potions tomorrow.
As for the conditions, it is actually a good thing for you.”
A golden Dao Seed appeared in Clown's hand: "Take it, sir, and don't tell anyone."
His original intention was to obtain another channel to expand his power, and perhaps he could gain more knowledge through the other party.
Pisaru's eyes were immediately attracted by the golden Dao Seed. He carefully examined the pattern on the surface of the Dao Seed and asked:
“Is this thing harmful to the body?”
Crown smiled and said, "It will only benefit your body, not harm it. But you can refuse it, and it won't affect the deal between us."
Pisaru stroked the silver bean that attracted him deeply and said in a deep voice, "Can you tell me in detail what the benefits are?"
In fact, he had a deep attachment to this thing in his heart. Just a moment ago, he felt that he was facing the most important choice in his life.
The reason he asked what benefits he could get was just to come up with more reasons to convince himself.
"You can obtain various secret techniques, such as this."
Klauen released the Moon Spirit Shield, and a silver light bloomed in the room. Pisaru immediately felt the difference between himself and before.
His thinking has become more agile and his resistance to pollution has been greatly improved.
"You can also release secret techniques like this," said Clown, releasing the Golden Armor Technique.
The golden aura enveloped the two of them, eventually forming a layer of shining light film.
"This secret technique can provide us with a layer of magic similar to the Spirit Armor, and its defensive power is much higher than that of the Spirit Armor."
Pisaru felt the state of the golden light film, and his desire for the golden light seed deepened.
"There are many more secret techniques, so I won't introduce them one by one. There are also many invisible benefits, so you need to explore them slowly with your friends."
Pisaru resisted the urge to agree immediately and asked in a low voice:
"Sir, since this thing has so many benefits, why don't you give it to the person you trust the most?"
What he meant was to find out why, and he would be willing to cooperate as long as the other party gave a reasonable explanation.
"The person I trust the most has the Golden Light Dao Seed. You can think about it carefully and give me an answer tomorrow.
Now, I will go and prepare the medicine you need."
Crown left the study and came to the alchemy laboratory. He couldn't act too anxious, otherwise people would mistakenly think that there was something fishy going on.
This is just a casual move. If it succeeds, that's even better. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter.
He configured ten bottles of the highest quality golden light potions and five bottles of high quality clear mind potions on the spot. The golden light potions were used to purify pollution, while the clear mind potions were used to replenish the power of the soul.
The soul of a polluted person will inevitably become very easily tired, which will last for a period of time. The Heart Cleansing Potion can immediately solve this problem.
As the number of Golden Light Dao Seeds increased, Clown obtained more and more Sunfire Liquid and Moon Dew, and the supply would inevitably be increased in the future. However, he did not want to sell most of the potions to the Warlock Brotherhood.
He took the potion back to the study, handed it to Pisaru, and said solemnly: "This is the highest quality golden light potion I can provide. The silvery-white solution is the heart-clearing potion, which is used to nourish the soul. These things are more than comparable to your gift box."
Pisaru took the medicine, checked it, and carefully put it away. Then, he lowered his voice and asked:
"Sir, please allow me to ask you one last question. Can you get something you want from this matter?"
"Of course there are extra benefits. I am not a philanthropist and I will not do good things for no reason."
Pisaru nodded, knowing that there was no need for the other party to deceive him.
He decided to follow his inner choice and without hesitation, stuffed the golden light seed into his mouth.
The Tao seed, which was originally as hard as stone, immediately turned into a ball of nectar, flowing down the throat, and waves of warm currents spread to every part of the body.
Seeing this, Crown clapped his hands softly and said with a smile:
"You will definitely not regret your choice today!"
Half a month later.
Crown sent Audrey away who was meditating with him. At this point, the Golden Light Mantra level of all his people at the silver level had advanced to the fifth level.
Not only them, but most of the third-level Dao Seed holders' Golden Light Mantra was also upgraded to the fifth level.
The proficiency of the Golden Light Mantra that he could gain every day had now reached 2,400 points, and he would reach the pinnacle of the sixth level even faster.
Eliza's eyes curved into crescents, and she said in a sweet and innocent voice:
"According to the current rate of improvement, I think the day of advancing to Silver will not be too far away."
During this period, she meditated during the day and practiced breathing techniques at night, and her progress in all aspects was visible to the naked eye.
That's why she said that the day of advancement to silver level is not far away.
Clown smiled and said, "Then you have to work harder. Now you have plenty of resources, and you have the Golden Light Spell to improve your potential, so your advancement speed will certainly be much faster than before.
I have already prepared the materials for the sublimation array for you. As long as you meet the requirements, you can perform the ritual at any time."
The material most consumed by the sublimation array is mithril. The Vatican has sent him the spoils, including 34 pounds of mithril. Taking into account the transaction with the good luck gold coins and the one hour he spends every day to refine the mithril, he now has a total of 49.36 pounds of mithril in his hands.
Eliza herself used the Golden Light Potion and the Clear Heart Potion to trade for some from her family, and she had a total of twelve pounds of mithril in her hands.
