Chapter 258: The Current Situation in Hammers City

Crown twisted the mechanism to open the hidden entrance, and then he saw the concerned face of the Archbishop.

"Archbishop, I have accomplished my mission!"

"Okay, okay, okay."

Flanders shouted three times, and all the worries in his heart were swept away:

"You must be starving, eat quickly!"

Although there were some twists and turns, the result was good. The Rhine Diocese is bound to shine during the trip to the Holy See.

He could feel the spiritual light of the silver level, that bright silver light, pure and dazzling.

Those at the silver level can sense each other's spiritual light.

Even without releasing his spiritual vision, Clown could see a silver glow gleaming around the edge of the archbishop's body.

"Then I won't be polite."

He was indeed starving. His stomach seemed to have turned into a bottomless pit. He only ate about 80% of the dishes on the table.

He put down his knife and fork and asked:

"Archbishop, what should we do next?"

The silver rank is just another starting point. Gold is his goal. Only then will he have the capital to fight against the evil gods.

The church is an organization with a long history and a complete heritage. All you need to do is train step by step to reach the top.

“The training methods above Silver are also top secret in the church, and those who don’t have the ability will not be exposed to them.

After this winter, we will return to the Vatican together."

Crown frowned slightly. The relationship between the Pope and the Archbishop was not harmonious. He didn't know whether things would go smoothly.

"Will there be any twists and turns when learning the next stage of the secret technique?"

Flanders smiled mysteriously and said, “Although the Pope is the leader of the church, he cannot cover the sky with one hand. Now at least six new Silver Ranks have taken this step, meeting the conditions for establishing the College of Cardinals.

The power of the pope is necessarily limited, and he cannot prevent things from happening whether he wants to or not."

Crown nodded, as long as it didn't affect his subsequent improvement.

Actually, to be honest, his dependence on the church is not as strong as others.

For example, his fire breath has now advanced. Even if he cannot obtain the training method for the next stage, as his proficiency in the breathing method improves to a certain level, he will be able to slowly restore the full features of the technique. It just requires a lot of extra time.

Another point is that his most core ability comes from the Golden Light Spell and he does not need to rely on the church.

"After completing the advancement, I plan to return to Hamers City. I will try to clean up the pollution in that alienated area."

Hamers City is very close to the alienated area, and he has a lot of time at his disposal. More importantly, he can quickly improve his proficiency in the Golden Light Spell in the alienated area.

"That's fine. Pay attention to your own safety. There's no need to force it. I think that star creature will eventually leave here and return to the starry sky."

. . . .

When Crown returned to Hamers City, he went back to the Central Church first. He had been away for so long that of course he had to ask whether the current situation was stable.

Nick scratched his head, walked around Clown twice, and said in surprise:

"After going out, I always feel that you are a little different."

His spiritual sense told him that something was different about his friend, but he couldn't tell exactly what was different.

Fanny thought for a moment and said uncertainly:

"Have you already taken that step?"

Clown neither admitted nor denied it, but asked, "Mr. Cavendish has entered the Silver Rank, why haven't I heard you mention it?!"

"When I returned to Hamers City, you had already left. I couldn't find anyone to tell you about my father's successful advancement."

Fanny leaned forward and asked solemnly, "Have you entered the Silver Rank?"

When she saw her father who had successfully advanced, she had the illusion that he was glowing faintly, and now Clown also gave her the same feeling.

Crown nodded and smiled, "Yes."

Nick laughed and said, "Great, now I have a powerful backer."

His father-in-law and good friend both became silver-rank warriors, and he felt a surge of pride in his heart.

He no longer had the desire to compete with Crown. The gap between them was too big, and competing further would only make himself uncomfortable.

Fanny also smiled. The Sith family's investment was worth it. It was well worth spending 20,000 gold spirit coins to establish a friendship with a silver-rank person.

These gold spirit coins were not given as gifts, but were only temporarily borrowed. They would still belong to the Sith family after ten years. If the other party did not return them, it would be a good thing.

Clown asked, "What's the situation in the alienated area like recently? Is Nilie doing well?"

What he was most concerned about was the starry sky creatures in the alienated area, which was related to the rapid improvement of the Golden Light Spell.

Fanny said: "More bizarre plants and animals grow in the alienated area, and every night, the area is filled with strange phosphorescence.

The only good news is that the area of ​​alienation has not expanded, and the Archbishop came again and said there is no need to worry."

Nick agreed, “Yes, the Archbishop said that there is a high chance that the star creatures will leave in the end.

Nile is in good condition. He has been working hard to practice his ability to control spirits, and no pollution has occurred.

I estimate that within a few months, he will be able to advance to the second-level extraordinary person, and he will have the ability to protect himself. "

He was very satisfied with his brother's performance, and soon Ni Lie was able to take charge of his own affairs.

"What is the current situation in Sanctuary? Are there any new threats?"

Fanny sighed and said, "It is not uncommon for evil gods to corrupt ordinary people with keen perceptions through dreams. The holy power currently stored in the Sanctuary cannot sustain the long-term operation of the magic circle, so we must allocate some of our energy to screen the residents.

Fortunately, we have gained more and more experience and have already established a set of effective rules and regulations. Your pharmacy has helped us a lot and greatly reduced the use of holy water. Our holy water reserves are increasing day by day. "

It is not an easy task to manage a parish, as she has to make decisions on many complicated matters.

Fanny suddenly envied Crown, who didn't need to worry about those trivial teaching affairs and only needed to work hard to improve himself.

Nick added: "Now we have more extraordinary people in our parish, and there are more extraordinary backbones in the Crusaders. We need more extraordinary equipment to equip them. We don't have many blacksmiths who can make extraordinary equipment, so we need to replenish them as soon as possible.

The monsters in the wild are beginning to stir again. They have begun to threaten the safety of the mining area. The troops have a clearing mission every day. "

Clown laughed and said, "No problem. I will replenish enough extraordinary equipment as soon as possible. Please give me the production work order. In addition, I will visit the alienated area frequently. If the clearing force needs help, you can contact me."

He felt bad that the task of the three bishops had been shared by the other two for so long.

The blacksmith shop can guarantee the supply of troops when he is not around to forge ordinary weapons, but now they are in short supply of extraordinary equipment.

Creating extraordinary equipment can quickly improve forging skills, and it is also time to create soul-infused weapons.

Before leaving Rhine City, he had already obtained the method for making soul-infused weapons. All he had to do was to improve his forging skills and then he would start making them.

The three chatted for a while, and then Crown said goodbye and left.

He wanted to replenish the scarce extraordinary equipment as soon as possible and then head to the alienated area.

Del, who was guarding the door of the bishop's room, bowed and asked, "Sir, what are your plans next?"

Crown raised the production list in his hand and said:

Prepare the carriage, let's go to the blacksmith shop. We have to work hard in the next few days to replenish enough extraordinary equipment as soon as possible."

Del's blacksmithing skills are pretty good, and he can occasionally forge extraordinary equipment, which can help him a lot.

In addition, during the defense of Lorente Town, Del, perhaps because he often participated in battles, actually advanced to become a fire warrior, which was able to help him bear more responsibilities.

With the addition of his two pets, he unknowingly had four second-level combat forces at his disposal, and he had his own basic team.

"As you command, sir."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After becoming a fire warrior, Del became more confident.

He is now also a second-level spirit master, and his ambition to achieve further is ignited in his heart.

The carriage was quickly ready. After Crown arrived at the blacksmith shop, he immediately instructed the person in charge to prepare the raw materials and officially start mass production of extraordinary equipment the next day.

The preparations could not be completed until tomorrow, so Crown did not stay in the blacksmith shop and returned to his mansion.

He has been away from here for a month and a half and needs to get to know his own business better.

In the study, Del, William and Melissa sat respectfully on the sofa.

Crown picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile:

"It's a good wine, a genuine Bordeaux white wine aged for five years. It's still comfortable at home."

He could taste the year of the wine. After all, Lorente Town was a military camp, so he seldom drank. When he was in Rhine City, he was busy refining mithril and did not drink a drop of alcohol.

"Next time the bishop goes out, I will prepare drinks. This time it was my fault."

William agreed. It was not his fault. It was Crown who specifically told him not to bring any alcohol. He was going to fight, not to travel.

Crown waved his hand and smiled, "Tell me about the situation at home."

William immediately sat up straight: "We currently have four large-scale manufacturing industries. The arsenal produces rifles and bullets, which are mainly supplied to the troops in the mining area. The explosives produced are supplied to the production department in the mining area. We can make a net profit of about eight gold spirit coins every month.

The blacksmith shop supplies weapons and armor forging for the Hamers Parish. Without taking into account the creation of extraordinary equipment, the net profit is 17 to 18 gold spirit coins each month.

The brewery now produces high-quality ale and beer steadily, supplying the taverns in the new parish. We also have our own store, with a net profit of six to eight gold spirit coins each month.

Finally, there is the pharmacy workshop, which made a profit of ten gold spirit coins last month.

The monthly rent for the shop we own is twelve Gold Spirit Coins.

All adding up, the monthly profit is about fifty-three Gold Spirit Coins.

The expenses of the family and the training of private soldiers require seven or eight gold spirit coins every month, leaving a surplus of about forty-five gold spirit coins every month."

As a butler, he is actually not satisfied with his job. He will feel qualified only when his monthly net income reaches one hundred gold spirit coins.

Clown nodded slightly. His business was aimed at ordinary people, and most of the transactions were settled with gold shield and silver coins, so it was reasonable that the income was not high.

In fact, it cannot be said that the income is not high, it’s just that the business of purifying spirit coins is too profitable. The profit of the industry is converted into gold shields, which is nearly 10,000 gold spirit coins every month.

As the population of Hamers Parish increases, the pharmacy's business will expand outward and the industry's profits will continue to increase.

Although the money is not much, he can get it without worrying about it, so it can truly be called income while sleeping.

The forging of extraordinary equipment is settled with Golden Spirit Coins, which is considered a high income, but he needs to do it himself.

After hearing what the housekeeper said, Melissa coughed twice and said gently:

"This month, eight more servants have advanced to Transcendents, and even more have reached the critical point for advancement. I think we can complete your mission by the end of this winter."

The servants she selected were all of good quality, and with adequate supplies of nutrition and medicine, it was reasonable for her to make such progress.

"very good."

Crown smiled widely. He would soon have a usable private army, and he needed to create some more usable extraordinary equipment.

In the future, if he could obtain Sunfire Liquid and Moon Dew more easily, he might be able to create a dual-professional army of spirit masters and knights.

“The intensity of training cannot be lowered. What I want is an elite force, at least as elite as the Crusaders.

In the future, firearms training courses will also be set up, and long-range attack methods cannot be left behind."

"Understood, sir. I'll arrange it tomorrow."

Melissa smiled and nodded. Now that the bishop had taken the initiative to bring up the issue of training, it showed that he was really beginning to take his work seriously.

Klauen nodded and turned to order:

"Tonight, prepare a rich dinner. My own diet will be twice as much as usual."

William immediately stood up and said, “Okay, sir, I’ll get ready.”

He was a little puzzled. Normally, the appetite of adults is not much different. He didn't know what happened to the bishop that his appetite doubled.

The butler quickly left the study and carefully closed the door after going out.

Melissa felt as if a thunderclap sounded in her heart. When would a person's appetite change?

As a knight, her appetite changes significantly, but only occurs before and after advancement.

"The bishop is already a third-level transcendent. Could it be, could it be..."

She didn't dare to think further, this information was too explosive. Although she thought that the bishop would become a strong man of the silver level, she didn't dare to believe that the bishop could advance now.

Crown enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, then pulled his two pets over and began to visualize the Golden Light Mantra.

After a long period of passive training, animal taming now feels like it has made some progress.

This skill has currently reached its limit. If it improves further, it will reach the pinnacle.

He currently only possesses two extreme skills, and the special effects they provide greatly enhance his combat effectiveness.

Judging from the current situation, if the art of animal training can be advanced to the highest level, it can at least greatly improve the ability of trained animals to withstand pollution.

In the future, when facing evil gods with extremely polluting characteristics, he will be able to deal with them more calmly.
