Chapter 268: Departure
The memories of the previous life were slowly forgotten in the process of thinking about it, and this foreign land slowly became my hometown.
All that accompanied Crown were the golden wall and the golden light spell, and naming this soul-infused weapon Thunderfury could make up for this small regret.
In a game that has been with me for many years, I can never get two props together. It’s the same when I open a nostalgic server. I am always missing half a face, and the main game is a annoying and nonsense one, which makes me continue to regret it.
The shape of Thunderfury is not the tuning fork shape in the game. After all, it is better to have something practical for chopping people.
Crown threw the weapon into the pool, and a large amount of water vapor immediately rose in the room, as if a thick fog had risen.
To his surprise, the water began to boil, and the pool became dark blue, with layers of light and shadows rippling.
After a long while, the tumbling water gradually calmed down, and at this moment only a shallow layer of water remained in the pool.
He took out the pliers and threw the weapon into the spare pool. This time there was no strange phenomenon.
Reaching out his hand, Crown felt the temperature of the water in the pool, which was slightly higher than body temperature.
He took out the forged weapon. A faint blue halo flowed on the silver-white sword. He gently waved the weapon. A blue flame flickered behind the shadow of the sword, which was extremely beautiful.
The good news is that the weapon has its own enchantment effects, which makes it very cool. The bad news is that the design is too eye-catching, and when he uses it to kill people, his target is very obvious.
Klauen releases his breath of fire, injecting the source of life into the wrath of thunder. The blue and red colors increase and decrease, making the shape more eye-catching.
He felt the soul of the Deer-Headed Spirit. Now was the moment to test his luck. Soul-infused weapons would inherit the abilities of the spirit. As for how many they could inherit, it all depended on luck.
The spirit of the Deer-Headed Demon communicated with him docilely, without a trace of evil thoughts or pollution. He even felt that the spirit had a hint of admiration for him.
'Is this the result of being purified by the magic water?'
Clown smiled. Generally speaking, the soul purification of soul-infused weapons would not be so thorough. The soul would be born only when the monster was killed during its lifetime, and it would definitely be filled with resentment.
Now, after some operations by himself, the spirit has no resentment towards the holder. Instead, it is very cooperative. He easily finds out the abilities retained by the spirit.
'Big profit!'
This was the thought that popped up in Clown's mind, and he inherited all of the Deer-Headed Demon's attack abilities.
He couldn't wait to enter his small training room and experiment with the effects of his weapons.
The first ability was Magic Crows, he raised his weapon and swung it forward, making a chopping motion, and a flock of light blue spirit crows flew out in a fan formation.
These crows can only fly ten meters at most, and they will quickly fade and disappear beyond this distance.
Probably because its soul has been purified, the crow’s color is no longer black.
There are twenty-one in total. Their destructive power is unknown. The spiritual crows can only attack living things.
Klauen swung his sword again, and another group of magic crows flew out. When the crows were about to disappear after reaching the farthest distance, he exchanged positions with one of the crows.
This is the second ability, position replacement, which is equivalent to giving him a skill similar to "flash".
In the future, whether it is used for a sudden attack or for running away, it will be an excellent choice.
He leaped forward, thunderous fury slamming into the ground.
With the point where the weapon landed as the center, a large number of thorns immediately emerged, covering an area of three meters, and the thorns could only avoid the position where he was.
The third ability is the thorn thorns. This is a spiritual entity that can exist for three seconds. If a creature is hit and its skin is pierced, these thorns can also absorb the enemy's blood and inject spiritual toxins.
However, these mental toxins do not have much effect on creatures with high will resistance and can only delay the enemy for a period of time.
This ability will also hinder the user's movement after being used. If Crown uses it, he needs to think about how to eliminate this disadvantage.
The weapon is made purely of Valyrian steel and is incredibly hard. The soul-infused weapon also has a special feature: if there is a nick or a bent edge on the weapon, it can self-repair.
As long as the spirit exists, Thunderfury will always have these properties.
When Clown was communicating with the spirit, he learned that the Qingxin Talisman Water could nourish the spirit.
He only needs to pour the talisman water on the location of the fine gold thread, and the spirit will be able to absorb the spirituality of the talisman water to replenish itself, which can greatly extend the service life of the soul-forged weapon.
What's more, during battle, Crown can wrap his weapons with a layer of golden light, which not only increases the hardness of the weapons, but also protects them.
After testing the extraordinary properties of Thunder Fury, Crown processed the weapon in detail and then sharpened it.
After everything was ready, he used the Fire Cube to create a fine iron pillar that was as thick as an arm and half a meter long.
He wrapped the weapon with golden light, then raised his hand and chopped it down suddenly.
The iron pillar was immediately split into two halves. He removed the golden light and observed the weapon. The blade was still as sharp as before.
This strength is much stronger than bronze weapons.
. . . .
In the evening, Crown returned to the mansion.
He was very satisfied with the effect of the soul-infused weapon and had a smile on his face. Everyone knew that the bishop was in a good mood.
After dinner, he went to the alchemy room to prepare high explosives. This kind of high-performance explosives required relatively advanced alchemical skills.
Since there were no alchemists available, he had to do the work himself. In the past few days, he had prepared two full oak barrels of high explosives. Each barrel was as big as the barrels used to store wine in the wine cellar.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Crown left the alchemy room.
He went up the stairs to the top floor and found Leah and Lorraine at the top of the stairs.
The two spirit masters have reached an agreement to pledge allegiance to the bishop and obtain asylum.
Liya waited for him to come up and hurriedly bowed: "Sir, we have something to talk to you about."
Clown was a little suspicious, wondering why they didn't tell him during the day, so he asked, "What is it?"
"We want to pledge our allegiance to you, just like Melissa did."
Leah said this with some trepidation. She was feeling a little nervous and felt suddenly very thirsty.
There is nothing shameful in clinging to the strong. What she is worried about is being rejected, which would be very embarrassing.
"Yeah?"
Clown smiled secretly in his heart. This was exactly the purpose of his hiring these two people.
His pride did not show on his face. He had put Melissa to the test by accepting her loyalty, and he needed to do the same now, otherwise he would seem to be in need of help.
Although he was originally short of people, it was better to treat everyone equally, otherwise it might cause minor conflicts within the organization and Melissa might feel a little unbalanced.
This is an issue that leaders have to consider.
"Of course, but Melissa can help me train knights. What can you do for me?"
Leah opened her mouth and then closed it. She wanted to say she was fighting for the bishop, but that didn't make much sense. Being hired was also fighting for the employer.
Luo Lin bowed and said, "We can train spirit masters for the bishop. I see that the bishop's troops are all knights. Unless most of these knights reach the level of second-level extraordinary beings, they will be at a disadvantage in fighting against spirits."
"It does save me a lot of energy, but if I purify the evil spirits and then hold the spirit awakening ceremony, the need for a 'teacher' is not that urgent."
Crown touched his chin and nodded:
"In a few days, I will hold a soul awakening ceremony for outstanding knights. If you can guide them to become second-level soul masters within half a year, I will accept your loyalty as long as two second-level soul masters are born."
This was a step forward for the two of them. As long as the spirit masters who used purified evil spirits to awaken their spirits worked hard to practice their spirit-controlling abilities, they would advance very quickly. Del was an example.
"Half a year?!"
Leah exclaimed, it should be impossible for a spirit master who has just entered the extraordinary realm to advance to the second level in half a year. Did the bishop refuse?
A thoughtful look appeared on Lorraine's face. If the bishop had rejected them with just one word, it would have been enough. There was no need to set a task that was obviously impossible to accomplish.
Clown nodded and smiled:
"Yes, it only takes half a year. This is a test, and the success rate is very high because the spirit control I provide is quite special."
After saying that, he walked towards his bedroom.
When he walked into the room and closed the door, Liya smiled bitterly and said, "Why don't I think this test is easy? Unless you are willing to supply a large amount of golden light potion, it will be impossible.
But the Golden Light Potion is very expensive, and it is too extravagant to spend so many Golden Spirit Coins to train a Spirit Master. Do you think the Bishop is rejecting us in disguised form?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Luo Lin shook her head slightly and said, "Have you ever thought about this question? Since the golden light potion can purify the spirits in our bodies, it is normal that it can also purify the evil spirits used to awaken the spirits, right?"
"You mean"
There was surprise on Leah's face. If the potion could directly purify the evil spirit, then the cost should be much smaller than taking the potion to purify the spirit of a spirit master.
The new potion that the two of them now have in their hands is much more effective than the original potion. The spiritual pollution accumulated by the soul controller has been completely purified, and it is now in the stage of purifying the soul controller.
She estimated that within a month, the two of them would be able to complete a thorough purification of their spirits. Luo Lin's progress was much faster than hers, so she estimated that half a month would be enough.
. . . .
Half a month passed quickly. During this period, Clown maintained three hours of visualization during the day, and spent the rest of the time busy using the Fire Cube to devour the metal essence.
By continuously using the ability to control spirits, the Fire Cube can store more metals. Now, each of the metals such as iron, copper, lead, tin, etc. can store about 3,500 pounds, and the metal clone created is four meters tall.
At night, Crown would maintain meditation for two hours. The demand for Moon Dew was not as much as that for Sunfire Liquid, so he would use the free time to prepare high explosives and then refine the Sun Essence and Moon Essence.
Every three days, he would go to the alienated area and use the pollution laws of the star creatures to quickly improve his proficiency in the Golden Light Spell, and his proficiency in fire breath would also increase accordingly.
Now the benefits of releasing the Golden Light are further reduced, and you can only get about 120 points of proficiency each time.
The sun rises, and the sunlight dispels the diffuse gray fog, and it is a new day.
Crown drew aside the thick curtains and opened the window, letting in golden light.
Hearing his movement, two pets flew out from the next room. The owner's visualization time was up, and the two loyal audiences arrived as promised.
Two hours later, Crown heard the roar of the airship. He ended his visualization and summoned the golden wall.
[Golden Light Mantra: 36584/150000; Level 3]
[Flame Breath: 3518/50000; Level 4]
[Spirit Controlling Technique: 9832/12000; Level 3]
This is the most recent achievement. Due to the extensive use of the power of the Fire Cube, the proficiency in spirit control has increased a lot.
Before this winter is over, his spirit-controlling technique will definitely be upgraded to the fourth level, and his combat effectiveness will be raised to a higher level.
As the spirit-controlling technique is upgraded, the abilities of the two spirits will definitely improve.
The time hourglass was only at the second level, and he planned to upgrade this spirit control to the third level.
Crown walked out of the room and quickly finished his breakfast.
The airship carrying supplies came the day before yesterday, and now another airship is coming. It should be the airship that took the archbishop to pick him up.
After breakfast, Clown said to William:
"I will follow the Archbishop to the Vatican. During my absence, all industrial workshops must maintain production and stockpile as many supplies as possible."
Yesterday, he took out five thousand gold spirit coins from his private vault and gave them to the butler. The workshop is running at full capacity, so there must be a lot of goods on hand.
Now Clown still only purifies fifty spirit coins every day, but he still has about two thousand gold spirit coins in his hands.
The butler bowed slightly: "I understand, sir, the work of each workshop has been progressing steadily."
"Prepare the car. I'm going to the airship parking lot."
. . . .
The carriage arrived near the airship and stopped smoothly. William got off first and held the door of the carriage. Crown came down with Buster in his arms.
This time when he went to the Vatican, he only brought the black cat, because the cat's appearance did not change much, it could only be considered a somewhat special black cat. The crow's appearance was too ostentatious, and the golden light was too eye-catching.
"Go back, William."
"Sir, be careful on your journey."
The butler ordered the coachman to drive the carriage away and stop in the distance.
Harry stood beside the airship, bowed and looked up, with a bright smile on his face and admiration in his eyes: "Sir, the Archbishop is waiting for you inside, please follow me."
As the archbishop's attendant, Harry understood the significance of this trip to the Vatican, and knew what requirements were required for those who were qualified to go.
The last time he accompanied the bishop on a mission on the Iron Duke, he never thought that more than a year later, the other party had advanced to become a silver-level warrior.
He felt that he had lived in vain for the past thirty years. After twenty years of hard training, he had barely reached the threshold of advancing to the third level. The other party was only in his twenties and had already ignited the silver soul. The gap between them was unreasonable.
Clown smiled and nodded: "Harry, long time no see, lead the way."
William watched the bishop board the airship from a distance and told the driver:
"Let's leave and go to the apothecary workshop."
At this moment, Lannister sat opposite Bishop Cavendish with a smile on his face.
He had been staying as a guest at the Holy Fire Cathedral for some time. Although the host had not explicitly stated that he would restrict his freedom, he had been staying in the guest room obediently. He only met with several third-level warlocks from the branch to explain the current situation.
It was not until today that he found out that there was a third silver-level expert in Rhine City.
He felt very complicated. He originally thought that the gap in hard power between the Brotherhood and the Church would not be too big, but reality gave him a hard slap in the face.
The Rhine City Diocese of the Church of the Lord of Fire had three silver-level warriors, and the church's foundation was beyond his imagination.
He picked up the glass and took a sip of white wine to dilute the sourness in his mouth.
Flanders smiled and said, "I thought you would go down. You haven't seen Fanny for a long time, right?"
Cavendish nodded gently: "Yes, but the airship's stay is too short. I will come to see her when I return from the Vatican."
