Chapter 296 Air Raid

When Victor saw the guest's ring seal fully revealed, his original contempt immediately faded away.

He waved his hand gently and told his attendants:

"You guys go down first, I want to talk to the guest alone."

After everyone else left the room, he stood up, performed a polite gesture, and said cautiously, "Your Holiness, how can I help you?"

If asked what Victor was most proud of in his life, he would definitely say that he helped the Nay family find the biggest backer, His Holiness the Pope of the Church of the Lord of Fire in the Farouk Kingdom.

He realized the huge benefits brought about by changes in productivity at the beginning of his industry, so since he started opening factories on a large scale, he would take out a considerable amount of profits from his family business every year to curry favor with church and government officials.

The other party also reciprocated the favor, allowing the family business to run smoothly and accumulate a rich fortune.

At this time, Victor was guessing the purpose of the Pope's visit. The other party came in person with a concealed face, which must be a very secretive matter, and it was very likely that it was something that could not be made public, because if it was just about interests, the other party could just send his confidant to convey the message.

Osman pulled back the hood that covered his face and said gently:

"I have known Count Victor for nearly a hundred years, right?"

"The exact time is ninety-seven years and three months. Meeting Your Majesty is the most unforgettable day of my life."

The Pope was stunned, then burst into laughter.

Even though he knew that the other party was flattering him secretly, he was still in a good mood:

"Well, I like what you said, Count. Then I will get straight to the point. This time, I came here to do something very important and I need your help to verify it."

He took out a tattered book from his robe and subconsciously lowered his voice: "I accidentally found an ancient book. It contains the results of an ancient magic array experiment, and it also gave me the most detailed experimental records."

The so-called ancient books are the results of his research during this period, which can replenish the life source of living things.

The reason for choosing Victor is that his life is about to reach the end, and this magic circle can theoretically strengthen the source of life.

If the opponent's life source can be replenished, he will be able to have a second spring and live many more years, or even break through to the silver level, so there is no need to worry about the opponent not trying his best.

After Victor took the ancient-looking animal-skin book, he agreed without hesitation: "I will definitely arrange the experiment as soon as possible to get first-hand and detailed data for you."

Osman was even more satisfied, and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "You will personally conduct this experiment. The fewer people who know about it, the better."

He paused, his expression becoming serious. "If the news leaks out due to your carelessness, you will bear the consequences."

Victor heard murderous intent in the Pope's words, but he was not surprised but happy. He said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I will do the job, please rest assured! In all these years of cooperation, we have never failed."

It is good to do secret things. The more secretive the things are, the more it shows that he is valued by the Pope.

Osman nodded slightly, he stood up and put on his hood, the big hat hiding his face: "I have never been here, the ancient book was obtained by you accidentally. I will come again in a month to get the experimental records."

After saying that, he walked straight out of the room and left.

Victor did not see him off. He waited until the Pope walked away and began to look through the contents of the ancient books.

As he continued to flip through the contents of the book, his expression became more solemn and his breathing became rapid.

He understood why the Pope did not conduct experiments himself. This kind of magic that extracts the soul and essence of flesh and blood of creatures of the same level to replenish one's own essence is very evil. How can it be linked to the Church of the Lord of Flame that brings fire and light to the world? !

This mission is not easy to take on. Although it can further the relationship with the Pope, it also brings potential dangers.

He has the leverage over the Pope. If this matter were to come to light, would the church and the Pope's image of being great and glorious be preserved?

What if the other party wanted to shut him up forever afterwards? However, since the other party had given him the task, he had to accept it.

Victor also understood that if this spell could be used, he might be able to go one step further and become a transcendent in the silver realm.

Done! Not only do it, but do it beautifully.

If he becomes a fourth-level strongman, it means that his strength is at the same level as the Pope. Even if the other party wants to do something ruthless, he needs to think twice.

. . . .

The sky was dyed ink-black and gray fog covered the earth.

9 Solent Street, Hammerstown.

Clown stood in the mansion, gazing at the blazing holy fire burning in the central church and the increasingly oppressive and dark gray fog, and shook his head slightly.

Just now, he experimented with the speed at which his proficiency improved when practicing fire breath, and he completely lost the desire to work hard.

In half an hour, I only gained five points of proficiency. Even with the use of Gintama ointment, it only increased by twelve points in half an hour. It was not cost-effective.

Unless he gets the next stage of training for the breathing method, he doesn't plan to practice fire breath for a long time. He only needs to practice occasionally to keep the heat up and grind it slowly.

Next, Crown began to test the changes brought about by the Source Armor and the Fire Spirit Transformation.

These two secret techniques are derivative skills of the breathing method, and will improve with the progress of the breathing method.

Now that his fire breath has advanced to the fifth level, he has a better understanding of these secret techniques.

In his eyes, these skills that he thought had been honed through thousands of times had room for improvement.

The first is the Source Armor, which has the ability to stimulate the source of life and then condense the vigorous energy of qi and blood outside the body to form a special protective film.

After his breathing method improved, the original stimulation intensity seemed insufficient, and he needed a more explosive stimulation of the source of life.

Clown's actual situation is different from that of others. The source of life cultivated through the breathing method and the life energy cultivated through the Golden Light Mantra have long shown signs of fusion, and now the proportion of fusion is increasing.

One day, the 'source of life force' cultivated by the two systems will be combined into one.

He understood that even if he got the fifth-level fire breath training method, the speed of improvement in his breathing method would not be obvious because he was different.

The golden wall and the golden light spell gave him an unparalleled speed of advancement, destined him to carve out a path that was uniquely his own.

As for breathing techniques, he would try to integrate what he had learned and create a breathing method that would suit him perfectly.

People have different physical conditions. For the same technique, people who are suitable for it will be very capable when learning it, but it would be a waste of time for those who are not suitable to learn it.

After deciding on the breathing method, Klauen prepared to diversify his fighting methods.

In the past, the Golden Light Curse was rarely used in battle, because the abilities it provided were limited to long-range attacks and auxiliary means. Another reason was that the Golden Light Curse did not have much lethality against ordinary creatures.

However, the thunder magic provided by the Golden Light Curse was not included in this list, but he subconsciously ignored it.

For example, the palm thunder. After he learned this ability, he never used it in actual combat. It was really a waste of time.

Thunder magic is not only capable of exorcising evil, but is also extremely lethal. Apart from anything else, it can also fry the enemy to a crispy outside and tender inside.

In addition, in order to improve his own combat effectiveness, he can also explore more of his ability to control spirits.

There is a lot of potential to be tapped in both the Time Hourglass and the Fire Cube. He originally wanted to obtain a spirit control with the ability to deal fire damage, but now it seems unnecessary.

This ability overlaps with the effect of Fire Breath, so having another spirit controller is a waste of time.

It would take time to master all these abilities, but he could often go to the cultists' territories to give consolation performances and hone his combat skills.

When you arrive at the enemy's territory, use artillery shells to bombard the area first. Don't believe that the enemy will not take the initiative to attack.

Even if he advances to the fifth level, able to crush all living beings, he is not prepared to enter the cultists' territory alone.

Who knows what tricks the enemy can use if they deliberately target him? A cult organization that has been able to fight the church for so many years must be quite capable.

Now that Clown is a high-ranking official in the church, he knows that if he activates the core magic array in the Holy Fire Cathedral, he will create a field of laws.

Within this area, the combat effectiveness of the church's direct forces can be greatly improved, while suppressing the enemy at the same time. A fifth-level transcendent who is besieged may also suffer in it.

Not to mention the flaming light array in St. Peter's Basilica, which is said to have a protective defense comparable to that of a god.

Of course, the spiritual concentration in the world is too low now, and these magic arrays cannot last long relying solely on the stored energy, and will not be easily activated.

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

Clown began to practice the Savage Bone Breathing Method, which had great potential. He also planned to find some other breathing methods to practice.

Different from cultivating spirit control, he now starts with breathing method as if he is building a bird's eye view. With the foundation of fifth-order breathing method, he can practice breathing method at a very fast speed, which is easier than eating and drinking.

. . . .

A week later.

The sun exerted its last bit of passion, and the orange-red light made the snow look faintly blood-red. Inexplicably, a hint of murderous intent was revealed on the earth.

The snow at the Rhine City airship parking lot had been cleared, and six large airships and four small airships were neatly parked there.

A small airship landed in the parking lot and Crown stepped out.

Harry took a few steps forward and said respectfully:

"Sir, please follow me. The Archbishop has been waiting for a long time."

The two men boarded one of the large airships and saw Flanders and others, who were tasting red wine and talking.

The Archbishop raised his hand and greeted him, smiling:

"I invited you here today because I want you to enjoy a grand fireworks display."

"Haha, I'm honored," Crown responded. He understood that Rhine City was ready to launch an attack on the cult's base.

Cavendish said softly, "The attack time is set at three in the morning. Generally speaking, humans will sleep soundly at this time.

Even though those cultists are very active at night, darkness will be our best disguise."

Fland added: "There were also small airships for air combat missions, equipped with rapid-fire artillery and heavy machine guns.

These guns and ammunition have been specially developed to be able to cause some damage even if the two-headed Chimaera is in the air."

Has the research on arms progressed to this point? Chimera is a third-level creature, and armor-piercing bullets must be prepared. Klauen smiled and nodded. He understood that he still had the task of backing up.

In case a large number of air units block the airship troops at night, he will need to go up and fight.

He does not reject this.

These days he was busy practicing the Golden Light Spell and the Savage Bone Breathing Technique, and he did not bother with the cultists.

The winter in Farouk's Kingdom was particularly long, and it would take another two or three months for it to completely end, so he had plenty of time.

Lannister was also present. Whenever there was a large-scale task, Flanders would definitely call him along to make the best use of his resources.

The Silver Warlock was not impatient at all. The situation was stronger than him, so he was always available at any time and had a very positive attitude.

The warlock smiled and said, "We only have one chance. Afterwards, the enemy will surely be alert, and it will be difficult to launch an air strike again."

The enemy is not stupid. Air strikes are designed to catch the enemy by surprise. A cluster of airships flying in the night sky makes quite a bit of noise. After suffering a loss once, the cultists will definitely come up with a special response.

"So this time, we have to inflict a complete loss on the enemy. After months of preparation, the airship is fully loaded with 800,000 pounds of bombs of various properties. The cultists will tremble under the attack of iron and fire."

Flanders raised his right hand and suddenly clenched his open palm into a fist as big as a casserole.

He personally supervised the bomb test, and the test results were much better than he expected.

Although he repeatedly overestimated the value of these mortal creations, he still underestimated the effectiveness of these new weapons.

Low-level transcendents are no different from ordinary people under high-density attacks. The form of war is about to change.

In this way, they can win by simply suppressing the enemy in the high-end battlefield.

As a last resort, they can use low-level extraordinary people to consume the enemy's high-end combat power and finally reap the battlefield.

The cultists have no air transport units, and with the heavy snow and wind this year, they will definitely not send out any troops, so they are now targets.

Every bit of enemy strength they deplete will reduce the pressure of war next year.

Everyone had dinner on the airship and then went back to their rooms to rest and recharge their batteries for any emergencies that might occur in the evening.

Clown visualized several great cycles of the golden light spell, and then summoned a golden wall.

[Golden Light Mantra: 137903/150000; Level 3]

[Barbarian Bone Breathing Method: 4652/12000; Level 3]

Without using any auxiliary means, it only took a week for the Barbarian Bone Breathing Method to be advanced to the third level. This efficiency was something I never dared to dream of before.

As he learned more and more breathing techniques, his talent for practicing them became more and more extraordinary.

Crown could feel that his quality had improved slightly, but because his foundation was too good, this advanced breathing method that was comparable to the breath of fire did not produce any special effects.

He planned to first master the breathing method to the fourth level. The breathing method was like the extraordinary realm. The fourth level was equivalent to a sublimation, and all the special effects should be revealed.

After closing the golden wall, Crown began to practice the Savage Bone Breathing Technique with small movements in the room.

He was like a player who was trying to achieve success while playing games. He felt happy as he watched his proficiency number continue to increase.
