Chapter 291 Hunting

A week later, Crown arrived in Rhine City by airship.

With unremitting efforts in the past few days, the flying magic has been advanced to the second level.

[Flying Magic: 106/15000; Level 2]

Now his flying speed is comparable to that of a bird, and his speed is faster than Fujin.

With more confidence, he planned to head to the Andes.

After his skills were advanced, he did not continue to practice, but took the time to use the Golden Light Seal to transform the tin essence into magic-breaking metal.

The tin essence is very light, but the feather blade it makes is sharper than ordinary supernatural weapons.

William has prepared various supplies, including food, magic tents, etc., so staying in the wild for half a month is no problem.

In addition, he also carried more than 400 artillery shells, which was enough to launch a round of thermal weapons strikes on the cultists' base.

After getting off the airship, Crown went to the Holy Fire Cathedral to look for Flanders.

After meeting the archbishop, he took out the gift he had prepared: "I was lucky enough to extract some silver marrow, and I'll give it to you to try."

“It actually worked?”

Flanders took the rune crystal bottle with a little surprise. He carefully examined the color of the silver marrow and nodded slightly:

"Well, it's good. From the appearance, it looks exactly the same as the finished product in the records. You have taken it, right? How is the effect?"

He originally had no hope of obtaining the silver marrow.

Although he was not an alchemist, he understood that purifying the blood of alchemical creatures that polluted the flesh was a very difficult task.

Now I have actually obtained a little silver marrow, which can be considered an unexpected surprise.

Clown smiled and said, "I feel the effect is good. After taking the silver marrow, the silver blood in my body has indeed increased a little, and I even feel that my breathing method is running more smoothly.

I brought three portions of silver marrow, one for Lord Cavendish and one for Lannister."

Others don’t have a golden wall and can’t see real progress, so their answers are relatively vague and they all use subjective words.

He paused, then continued, "How is the airship transformation going recently? Do you have any plans for the next step?"

"You're very proactive this time!"

Flanders felt somewhat relieved. Based on his understanding of Crown, he knew that the other party would not take the initiative to do anything unless it was necessary. He would only do a task if he was told to do so in advance.

The cult base in the Andes is very powerful, and now the Rhine City Diocese is facing a huge threat, and it seems that they have also mobilized the initiative of the other party to take action.

"It will take some time to transform the airship. I have thought about it carefully. We must have a large-scale airship. When we carry out bombing missions, we will definitely be able to catch the enemy off guard.

In addition, the enemy's air forces must be eliminated first, otherwise the safety of the bombing airship cannot be guaranteed.

These days, whenever the weather is clear, I send out airships to conduct reconnaissance, and I have roughly figured out the enemy's defense measures."

The archbishop took out an accurate map and described the situation in the enemy camp in detail. His tone was somewhat heavy:

“On the outskirts of the cultist base, there are reconnaissance stone towers and a small number of beholders.

In the center of the camp, there is a black fortress, which should be their central system.

After these days of reconnaissance, I found that the number of two-headed chimeras exceeded the initial estimate. Currently, there are nearly thirty chimeras observed."

If according to the information obtained from the previous battle, each Chimera is equipped with two third-level cultist riders, then the number of the enemy's third-level extraordinary creatures will reach an astonishing ninety or so.

At the third level, this number can crush the troops from Rhine City.

Even with the support of the Holy See, the battle will be difficult.

There is an even more terrifying problem. The enemy has such a large base of third-level transcendents, so how much combat power will the silver-level transcendents have?

They would most likely be drawn into a battle where they would have no advantage at all levels of power, and if that were the case, the Rhine Diocese might not be able to be saved.

If the Rhine Diocese is lost and the town of Lorente cannot be held, the Kingdom of Farouk will face invasions from two evil forces at the same time.

"There are still so many Chimeras?"

Klauen's words were filled with surprise. By knocking the bones and draining the blood of so many Chimeras, he could obtain enough silver marrow.

Advancing to the fifth level of transcendence is not just a dream, but a certainty.

"Yes, this is just the number of Chimeras. Many cultists are also proficient in animal training, and the eagles they raise can also be used as excellent scouts.

I have issued a strict order to the Guild of Rare Objects Manufacturing to develop a weapon that can target high-speed flying targets.

If these flying units are not dealt with, it will be difficult to carry out the bombing plan. Even night missions are not safe. Chimera does not have night blindness. "

"Has the message been passed back to the Holy See? More support is needed to ensure the safety of the diocese."

"Not yet. I plan to execute the bombing plan and see how the situation turns out. The Rhine Diocese cannot be lost, otherwise the entire northern part of Farouk will fall. Even during the last jihad, the enemy did not enter Farouk on a large scale."

Flanders' face was solemn, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes. "Why did you want to go back to the Holy Fire Cathedral? If you were just sending back the silver marrow, you should have asked someone else to bring it here."

You really understand me. Clown leaned forward on the sofa and smiled:

"I recently learned a new skill. I'm going to go around the cultists' camp and see if I can kill a few more chimeras."

“The cultists are not idiots. On the contrary, they are very cunning. The last defeat taught them enough lessons.

It would be difficult to repeat the same trick as last time. We cannot fight in the air, which is the biggest disadvantage. "

"You can't, but I can!"

"What?" Flanders laughed, "You can fly? Did I hear it wrong?"

Crown stood up. Even if he said a thousand words, it would not be more convincing than showing his abilities.

He looked around the room. Well, the space was not small, enough for flying.

"Archbishop, you know that I also practice as a spirit controller part-time. My spirit control ability is related to metal. Just wait and see!"

Bronze alloy armor covered him, and then there was a sound of tearing cloth, and a pair of beautiful rose gold wings spread out behind his back, and his clothes turned into pieces.

With his wings flapping, he flew up gracefully. It was as if a strong wind blew through the house, with rags and papers flying everywhere. "Okay, stop now. You're going to destroy my house."

Flanders' eyes sparkled with intelligence. He had not expected that the spirit control could provide such a practical ability:

"How fast can you fly now, and how long can you keep flying?"

If the flying speed is fast enough and the time is long enough, it is equivalent to unlocking a fourth-level combat power, and dealing with Chimera's attack will be a piece of cake.

"Based on the speed of the Chimera last time, my flying speed is slightly faster than the enemy's, and my continuous flying time can reach six hours.

Even when facing a large number of Chimeras, I am not afraid. My flexibility is much better than that of the huge Chimeras. "

"Okay, okay," Flanders patted his companion's shoulder excitedly. In this way, a huge problem could be solved.

The other party has very superb shooting and archery skills, and it is easy for him to capture those trained beasts.

"Kill a Chimera and the church will reward you with 300 gold coins. Kill any third-level creature and you will be rewarded with 150 gold coins."

Clown was stunned and said jokingly,

"This reward is a bit shabby. The cost of cultivating a third-level creature can't be only 150 gold spirit coins, right?!"

He didn't expect to get a reward. As one of the highest leaders in the Rhine Diocese, he couldn't stay out of it if a war broke out.

“Don’t complain about it being too little. After all, I don’t know what else I can reward you with other than the Golden Spirit Coins. The church has stored precious materials before, but they all decayed over time. The things in the secret vault now have been slowly accumulated over the past few hundred years.”

The archbishop changed the subject. He certainly knew that this reward was not very attractive. A fourth-level silver warrior was already at the top of the world, and it would not be difficult for him to get something if he really wanted to.

Clown shrugged and said, "Well, it's not bad to get the Golden Spirit Coin."

"Is there anything else I need to prepare for you?"

"Of course, I brought a bunch of supplies with me, and I need some space-related artifacts to store things."

Flanders thought for a moment and said:

"Space wonder. This thing is relatively rare, but there are two rings in the secret vault, each with about half a cubic meter of space. I'll lend it to you first."

The Archbishop opened the door and said to Harry, "Go and get Lords Cavendish and Daniel and tell them that I need to open the secret vault."

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

"As you wish, sir."

After a while, Cavendish came over. Clown took out a piece of silver marrow and gave it to him, who thanked him repeatedly.

Cavendish did not expect to obtain silver marrow, and he also knew the difficulty of refining silver marrow.

Soon, Daniel also arrived at the scene.

Flanders cleared his throat and said, "I need to open the secret vault and take out two space rings. Lord Klauen will need them to carry out his mission."

Daniel asked, "I wonder what mission this will be needed for?"

"Crown needs to go deep into the Andes Mountains to carry out special hunting missions, so he needs to be equipped."

"Uh, ok, no problem."

Daniel was also well aware of the situation in the Andes. These things were not hidden from him. The archbishop also wanted to use him to pass the message to the Pope and inform the Holy See how dangerous the current situation was.

The secret room is located in the sanctuary of the church. It has a bronze door with reliefs of angels holding flails and shields on the left and right. The holy emblem of the church is protruding above the center of the two doors.

The archbishop and his two companions took out the token and opened the bronze door.

Klauen followed them into the secret vault, where he found a large amount of gold spirit coins, high-purity holy water, various rare materials, and even more extraordinary equipment. He also saw several soul-infused weapons.

However, these things are of little use to him. The soul-infused weapon is a flail, and he is not good at using a flail.

Besides, he possessed the Fury of Thunder and did not covet these flails.

After Flanders found the ring, he closed the door of the secret vault, handed the ring to Crown, and told him the corresponding spell.

The ring is simple in style, with a dull brass color and simple leaf vein patterns engraved on it.

Clown put the thick ring on his finger and silently chanted a spell.

The ring shrank immediately and fit perfectly on the finger, neither loose nor tight.

He hooked the fire cube, and a walnut-sized, round bronze metal bead appeared in his hand.

Wrapping the ring with his mental power, he felt as if part of his consciousness fell into a whirlpool and came to a special space.

This space is gray and is a regular rectangular block.

As his mind turned, a metal bead appeared in the space.

He sensed the space, turned his mind again, and the metal bead returned to his hand.

"It's amazing," Crown exclaimed. If this kind of space ring were placed on Earth, it would definitely be a smuggling tool.

. . . .

The next morning, snowflakes fell from the sky and two small airships took off from Rhine City and headed for the Andes Mountains.

Crown looked down from the window. The city of Rhine became smaller and smaller until it disappeared from sight.

He turned his head and said gently:

"Actually, I can go there by myself. Just use an airship to take me to the outskirts of the mountains."

For this operation, all the fourth-level extraordinary people in the diocese were mobilized again.

In addition, there were ten bishops, and the City Hall and the Warlock Brotherhood each sent out five third-level transcendents. Most of the high-level officials of Rhine City came to the scene.

Flanders shook his head slightly and replied, "This is your first time to carry out a hunting mission alone. I am worried. If the enemy has any hidden means, you will have someone to take care of you.

If this mission goes well and you want to come alone in the future, that’s up to you.

The reason why I brought so many people with me is that I want them to see what the strength of the enemies they will face in the future will be like."

"Yes, it's always better to be careful. You are facing a group of cultists and followers of evil gods."

Lannister laughed. After receiving the silver marrow as a gift, he kept smiling.

After identification, the quality of the silver marrow is very good. Although there is only a small amount, it can greatly speed up the condensation of magic power and make the heart produce more silver blood. He decided to use the silver marrow in the late fourth stage.

The warlock seemed to remember something and asked:

"It's almost the end of the month. How are you preparing the Golden Light Potion?"

The matter of the potion is the most important mission of his trip, and it cannot be delayed. The sooner he gets the potion, the sooner the brotherhood can train a better spirit master.

"Relax, there will be no delays in delivery."

The airship landed at the place where the last battle took place, and Crown stepped out of the airship step by step.

As footsteps sounded, the alloy armor wrapped around his entire body, just like a Saint Seiya wearing his holy clothes.

With its rose gold wings spread, Crown flew high into the wind and snow.

"Wow, for real?!"

Lannister was stunned. While on the airship, he kept wondering how the other party could carry out a hunting mission alone.

Now that the truth was revealed, he was even more shocked and asked:

"Archbishop, what kind of ability is this? Is this a secret technique developed by the church?"

"No, if it's a secret technique, there's no reason why you wouldn't know it."

Yennefer saw the stylish Klauen flying away, so she withdrew her gaze and turned her head. At this moment, Geralt also looked at her.

When their eyes met, they both understood that this ability to fly should be the ability of a spirit master.
