Chapter 273 Del's Pride

Gray fog covered the earth, and the moonlight could no longer penetrate the thick fog.

In the city of Hamers, a blazing holy fire burned on the towering bell tower of the central church, piercing a large round hole in the gray fog.

The bright moonlight shines through the round hole, and the cool moonlight sprinkles on the area near the central church. Number 9 Solent Street is also bathed in this tenderness.

When the city was first built, Crown had taken into account the increasing thickness of the gray fog, so the bell tower was built very high, with the aim of obtaining more moon dew and moonlight when meditating on the Golden Light Mantra.

Luo Lin opened the door and walked in the corridor illuminated by the bright moon.

Her movements were as nimble as a cat's, her face was filled with excitement, and her eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars.

“Boom, boom!”

She knocked on the door of the next room. Although her movements were very gentle, the sound was heard in the quiet night, with a sense of loneliness in the quietness.

“Boom, boom!”

She knocked on the door again, as if she would keep knocking if the person inside didn't open the door.

The door was opened when she raised her hand for the third time. Leah was wearing a white fur coat and a purple V-neck silk pajamas underneath, revealing a patch of white skin below her collarbone.

"I guess it's you. It's almost twelve o'clock. Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"Good news," Lorraine waved her little fist and threw herself into the other's broad arms.

Having worked together for many years, Leah knew Lorraine's character, and she always treated her as a younger sister.

He rubbed the hair of the person in his arms lovingly and closed the door: "Do you have any good news to share with me? Let's go to the fireplace and talk. It's going to snow soon. The weather is really cold."

"Yes."

Moving to the fireplace, the warm fire dyed their faces and bodies orange-red.

Leah added some dry firewood to the fireplace, and the rich aroma of pine resin spread throughout the room:

"Tell me quickly, what kind of good news makes you so excited that you can't wait to come here tomorrow."

"It's good news for you, too." Luo Lin tilted her head slightly, her eyes curved into crescents, "I think we should have a drink."

Is this good news for me? Liya was slightly stunned, and she had a vague guess in her heart, and her breathing became faster involuntarily.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get some wine. You've been making such a fuss, are you just here to get some free drinks?"

Leah joked, stood up and went to a small room.

The wine cellar in the mansion has been completely filled up with wine barrels by the butler, and as one of the senior talents recruited, she is also entitled to a quota of ten bottles per month, and Lorraine can also have a share.

Soon, Leah came over with two wine glasses in her hands, walking with swaying steps. The wine in the glasses was bright red, and at first glance it looked like blood.

The crisp and pleasant sound of clinking glasses rang out, and Luo Lin did not keep the secret any longer, saying: "I just took a golden light potion, and my spirit was completely purified!"

There was a slight tremor in her words. Although she had guessed it long ago, when she saw the black color on Yu Ling's body completely fade away, the great sense of happiness at that time made her feel dizzy.

Her spirit control is more of an auxiliary type, but the frequency of use is not low, so the spiritual pollution she receives is no less than that of a combat spirit control master.

Later, she advanced to the second level, and the signs of being corrupted by the spirit master became increasingly obvious, and she gradually began to hear auditory hallucinations.

All spirit masters knew what this meant. She had lost count of how many nights she had cried silently.

"Good, good, very good."

Although she was mentally prepared, when Leah actually heard the news, she could no longer suppress the smile on her face, and tears flowed from her eyes. If the other party's spirit could be completely purified, then her spirit could also be purified.

The spiritual pollution brought by the spirit control can be purified, and even the spirit control can be completely purified, which means that they no longer have to live on thin ice.

The pollution she suffered was more serious than that of Luo Lin, and it would take some time for her spirit to be purified, but it did not affect her joy at all.

"Captain, why are you crying? This is great news."

"I'm just too happy. Come, let's drink this glass of wine and get drunk today."

The two spirit masters tilted their heads back and drank the rich wine in one gulp.

Leah took out all the wine she was allocated, and the two of them chatted, drinking one glass after another.

"The bishop's potion has given us a second life. Now that the hidden danger of controlling spirits has been eliminated, we can exert even greater strength."

"Yes," Lorraine nodded. "The bishop told me a lot of things when he left. I think a war will break out. It's time for us to repay him."

. . . .

At the same time, Del closed a fairy tale book and said lovingly:

"Janice, it's late, you have to go to bed."

His daughter came home from the training base and had two days off, so he said hello to Rubart and stayed with his daughter instead of working in the blacksmith shop.

Three days ago, Aaron Cole became a senior blacksmith. Now all the blacksmiths who participated in the special training have become senior blacksmiths. His absence for two days will not have any big impact.

His daughter only has two days of vacation a month to leave the base, and he cherishes this rare time to enjoy family happiness.

"But I'm not sleepy."

Janice blinked and asked cleverly, "When will His Excellency the Bishop come back? I really miss the fish he cooked."

There was a look of longing in her eyes, and a tear of tears flowed from the corner of her mouth.

The old father felt jealous. Although his daughter also said that she missed him, it was obviously not as deep as she did now.

"Haha, that's unfortunate. The bishop said he had to go to the Vatican to do something important, and he didn't say when he would be back."

"I hope I can see the bishop next time I come back from the base. Dad, you must buy a lot of fish and ask the bishop to cook for you."

"Okay, okay," Del agreed with a smile. The bishop was very busy now, and he didn't think he had time to be a chef, but he didn't have the heart to dampen his daughter's dreams.

My daughter is now darker than before. She must have trained very hard.

"Dad, the instructor said that I have reached the minimum standard to become a Transcendent. I can be promoted to Transcendent if I lay a solid foundation."

"real?"

"Of course, how could I lie to you!"

Janice pouted in dissatisfaction. She was very angry that her father looked down on her.

"Haha, I'm so happy. In the future, our Smith family will also give birth to a super strong person."

Del stood up excitedly, walked back and forth a few steps and then sat back down.

My daughter is not even eleven years old yet. Even if she becomes a transcendent a year later, she will only be twelve years old.

At this age, most people are just children who know nothing.

He had specifically asked the instructor at the training base and learned that the youngest extraordinary person in the church's records was eleven years old. Doesn't this mean that his daughter has a chance to become one of the few people standing at the top of the world? Del stood up again, walked to his daughter, and squatted down.

He placed his hands on his daughter's shoulders and said firmly, "Janice, if you graduate from the training base, I will ask His Excellency the Bishop to accept you as a student. You have the qualifications to become a top expert."

Janice nodded as if she understood, and said without hesitation, "Okay, father."

She was not very clear about the meaning of being a top strong man, but she knew that becoming a student of the bishop would definitely have a greater chance of eating the delicious food cooked by the bishop.

The bishop once promised to make her a fish but he has not fulfilled his promise yet. After so much time, it should not be too much to ask for two. Another thing is that she really likes small animals because she can "understand" the meaning of their language.

The bishop has two pets, which she loves very much.

. . . .

The fraternity's meeting room had thick curtains drawn, and not a single ray of light came in from the outside.

Several fist-sized magic stones emitted a snow-white and soft light, making the room unusually bright.

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

Fili took off the pointed hat on her head and placed it on the table, revealing her beautiful chestnut hair that was tied up in a bun.

She cleared her throat and said solemnly:

“Recently, the church’s airships have been flying frequently to the northwest.

Mr. Londo Villa of the Security Bureau also sent an airship to investigate, and found that a large number of cultists, tens of thousands of them, were gathered on the outskirts of the Andes.

The church's campaign to eradicate the cultists has been ongoing, and the cultists have been forced to hide deep in the Andes Mountains.

The living conditions there are terrible, so logically there shouldn't be so many cultists there."

Yennefer narrowed her eyes slightly: "What is the proportion of extraordinary people among the cultists?"

"Not sure. The officer who went to investigate is only a second-level knight. He is too far away to tell the enemy's strength."

"Why not get closer for reconnaissance?"

Fili shook her head slightly: "The enemy has flying beasts. Lord Londo asked us to send a high-level warlock to assist in the investigation. It will take about two days to go back and forth. Which Lord can spare the time to go?"

She is the highest leader of the Brotherhood branch, and she is usually responsible for coordinating with other forces.

Kalfan responded coldly, "I've been busy refining special potions lately and can't leave. There are now two warlocks in the Brotherhood who have reached the standard for advancement to the third level."

Fecarter said, "Lord Lannister specifically told me to refine as much mithril as possible, so I don't have time to go."

"Me too, I want to refine Mithril."

Roger responded lazily, turned around and asked:

"Fecat, when did Lord Lannister come to Rhine City? He is a silver-rank warlock. According to the rules, the headquarters must notify us in advance."

"How should I know? Lord Lannister must have his own considerations."

Roger curled his lips slightly. Not long after the other party came back, a top warlock appeared in Rhine City. He didn't believe that the two had no contact.

A few days ago, Lannister met with the high-level warlock of the Brotherhood branch in the church. He felt that something unexpected must have happened, otherwise a silver warlock would not choose to stay overnight in the church.

He lowered his head and thought about what had happened.

Yennefer adjusted her hair and said:

“I’m going to assist in the investigation. A large-scale snowfall is about to begin. It is very abnormal for the cultists to gather at this time.

A few days ago, Flanders asked the Rare Object Manufacturing Association to mass-produce automatic firearms. Now I think he should know what happened.

Fili, have you gone to the Holy Fire Cathedral to ask?"

She smelled the breath of war. Because Flanders had been suppressing the research of the Rare Object Manufacturing Association on rapid-fire firearms, she decided to go to the target area to check the situation.

Fili's expression became serious. "I've been to the Holy Fire Cathedral, but I didn't see Flanders. He and Cavendish both left Rhine City and are said to be heading to the Vatican."

Fecat sneered and said, "It should be the influence caused by Lord Lannister. The arrival of a silver warlock has obviously made the high and mighty church uneasy."

Karl Fan nodded in agreement: "Very likely."

The emergence of the Silver Warlock means that the Brotherhood’s highest combat power is on par with the Popes of various churches.

The Holy Fire Cathedral did a good job of keeping secrets, and the Brotherhood's top brass was still unaware that the Rhine Diocese already had several Silver-rank warriors.

Feili ignored Fecat and the other's words and asked, "When will you leave, sir?"

Yennefer said, "The sooner the better. I can leave anytime."

She didn't think that the main reason why Flanders went to the Church was because of the Lannisters. The Church of the Lord of Fire had stood on the land of the Kingdom of Farouk for countless years, and with their background, they should not be afraid of a silver warlock.

If her guess was true, the reason why the cardinal and his party went to the Vatican was most likely because of the gathering of cultists, so Yennefer was eager to go to the Andes.

The gathering of a large number of cultists means that a high-intensity war is about to break out.

. . . .

Crown rubbed his temple and walked out of the secret library of St. Peter's Basilica. The sunlight outside was a little dazzling. He stayed in the shadow for a while to adjust before he felt better.

He stayed here and did not attend any social events while waiting for the return of the investigation team sent by the Pope.

He had already obtained the training method for the fourth stage of fire breath. There were only a few dozen books in the library, and he had already read through them all.

A large part of the books here introduce the evil gods and their affiliated tribes that appeared in the last holy war. They not only broaden your horizons but also bring a lot of proficiency.

[Magic Scholar: 4058/5000; Level 3]

This skill that was forgotten by Crown in the corner of his memory increased his proficiency by more than 2,000 points. Knowledge skills are the easiest to improve, but also the most difficult to improve.

As the Mage Scholar's proficiency increased, several more potion recipes automatically appeared in his mind.

Some of the evil gods' followers will grow special organs in their bodies, which have special effects when refined into potions.

For example, if a deep diver can grow to more than five meters, a gray spherical gelatinous substance will grow in his head. This thing can restore physical strength and energy very quickly.

What's even more amazing is that the potion made with this thing as the main ingredient can be transformed into the source of life or holy power, allowing people to maintain high-intensity combat for a long time.

Theo walked over from a distance and walked quickly to Clown's side. "Sir, good news. I heard that a big merchant named Rivergaz from Cintra came to Bray City. He has several raw stones as big as buckets, and one of them is the kind you need."
