Chapter 305: Volunteering
It was difficult to tell the direction at night, and after returning to the town in the dark, Clown did not rush to continue his journey.
He entered the church, took out the episcopal emblem and entered the sanctuary, enjoying the benefits of the church's sanctuary plan.
Outside, the night was bitterly cold, but the magic array inside the sanctuary began to operate, and it became as warm as spring.
Although he could endure extreme temperatures at his level, he certainly couldn't afford to suffer if he could have better conditions.
Crown found a cushion, closed his eyes and rested for a while, then began to practice the Savage Bone Breathing Technique.
During this period, he often pondered this breathing method.
After practicing for a period of time, he found that this breathing method helped him more than the fire breath.
The effect of fire breath is more reflected in the creation of silver blood, which improves the life essence of living things from the inside out.
In theory, this breathing method passed down for thousands of years by the Church of the Lord of Fire is very powerful. However, its function overlaps with that of the Golden Light Mantra, and its effect is not as comprehensive as that of the Golden Light Mantra.
How to choose is self-evident.
The Barbarian Bone Breathing Method focuses on exercising the flesh, blood and bones, increasing Qi and blood, and then using the power of Qi and blood to temper the bone marrow, achieving the purpose of increasing the silver blood and improving the source of life from the outside to the inside.
Not only that, he discovered that when the Barbarian Bone Breathing Method and the Golden Light Mantra were practiced cross-wise, they could actually achieve a complementary effect, increasing the efficiency of proficiency by 70% to 80%.
Clown activated the Savage Bone Breathing Technique, and the shadow of a silver dragon appeared behind him.
The membrane begins to beat, the muscles and bones tremble, and a special rhythm emerges.
The blood was rushing like a mighty river, and blood-colored mist was rising from his body.
This phenomenon is a sign that the body is expelling waste blood and producing silver blood.
As the breathing method was practiced, the qi and blood in the body became active to a certain degree, and the shadow of the silver dragon gradually became clear.
The silver dragon opened its eyes, stretched its body, and its whiskers fluttered up and down with the movement, looking vivid and lifelike.
Clown didn't know what the effect of other people's Qi and Blood Virtual Images was, but the Dragon's Shadow showed a deterrent effect.
It can scare the enemy and lower their status, but I don't know if it will work on extraordinary people of the same level.
He concentrated on practicing the Savage Bone Breathing Technique and did not stop until most of his energy was depleted. The shadow of the dragon became blurry like a phantom and finally disappeared.
Even though the sanctuary was very safe, he maintained his condition and always had enough strength to spare.
Crown summoned a golden wall to check the progress of his breathing technique, and when his eyes swept from top to bottom, he was suddenly stunned.
[Golden Light Mantra: 24662/300000; Level 4]
[Barbarian Bone Breathing Method: 6786/50000; Level 4]
His proficiency in the Golden Light Mantra had increased by more than seventy points compared to before he practiced the breathing method. Keep in mind that he did not do any visualization today.
If he can improve his proficiency in the Golden Light Mantra without actively visualizing it, there are only two situations.
The first is that practicing the fifth-level flame breath can slightly increase the proficiency of the Golden Light Mantra, and the second is the feedback brought by the Golden Light Dao Seed.
In the current situation, the only feedback could be from the golden light Dao Seed, but he was now more than a hundred kilometers away from Hamers City, and he could not sense the Dao Seed at all.
Is it possible to get feedback from the Golden Light Dao Seed even at such a distance? Only this situation can explain why the proficiency of the Golden Light Mantra will increase.
That's good! This way you don't have to worry about being too far away from the Dao Seed and not being able to gain the bonus of increased proficiency.
Crown was in a very happy mood and began to visualize the Golden Light Mantra.
. . . .
One month later.
The long winter in Farouk's kingdom is coming to an end. Daytime temperatures are starting to rise and most of the ice and snow on the roads have melted.
Several new arsenals had been built in Rhine City but had not yet been officially put into production. Although the original arsenals were operating day and night, the ammunition in stock was not enough to support a high-intensity war.
Firearms and artillery fire mainly provide fire suppression and eliminate low-level targets.
Unless the firepower is extremely dense, the impact on high-level transcendents will not be very great.
Therefore, the main force of this war is still the extraordinary troops.
Reinforcements from various parishes arrived in Rhine City one after another, making the already crowded city even more crowded. A certain number of troops were also deployed in the two newly opened refuges.
In the Holy Fire Cathedral, the conference room was filled with people. Many seats were temporarily added around the room. All the participants were at the third-order extraordinary level.
Flanders sat in the chairman's seat and was making tactical arrangements: "According to the information sent back by the reconnaissance troops, the enemy has frequently sent out air units during this period, and the location of Rhine City has been discovered.
Now, the enemy's troops are gathering, and perhaps they will start to move out when the mud on the road is no longer serious. Our advantage is that we can carry out large-scale air strikes, which can destroy most of the enemy's low-level troops.
Therefore, we only need to focus on dealing with the enemy's elite troops.
I will carry out targeted defenses based on the direction of the enemy's movement. The next few days will be busy. All troops must be reorganized and an efficient command and monitoring system must be established.
Everyone, do you understand?"
Among the troops participating in the battle, the church's troops were the absolute main force, accounting for about 70%; the Holy See put pressure on the king, and other administrative regions also sent a number of troops, and the combatants from government agencies accounted for about 25%; the rest were the troops of the Warlock Brotherhood, and only the forces of the Rhine City branch participated in the war.
The church's troops will obey Flanders' command after receiving the order, but only God knows to what extent the other two troops will compromise on the execution of the order. I'm afraid they all want to preserve their strength as much as possible.
Even within the church, many dioceses have this idea of preserving their strength.
If these support troops were lost here, it would be a disguised weakening of the various dioceses.
Therefore, the reorganization must be completed to ensure that the orders are executed in place.
"clear!"
The answering voice was loud and clear, gathering into sound waves that spread outwards, and then being bound in the conference room by the magic circle, causing a long echo.
Crown secretly curled his lips. He didn't want to attend this kind of meeting, but he had to attend, which made him very uncomfortable.
He also couldn't visualize the Golden Light Mantra, because when he did, strange visions would appear and his body would alternately glow with golden and silver lights, and any fool would understand that he was playing "tricks".
There was no other way, he could only figure out the breathing method, using the Barbarian Bone Breathing Method as the main branch, trying to integrate the breathing methods he had learned and create a new breathing method that suited himself.
Of course, he had no intention of integrating the breath of fire into it. This church's secret breathing method was not in the same system as other breathing methods.
The result of forced integration will be a waste of time and effort.
Flanders began to tell about his plan. Crown sat upright, seemingly listening carefully, but was actually doing his own thing secretly.
At the end of the meeting, Klauen stood up and said in a sonorous voice: "Archbishop, the enemy still has a certain number of two-headed chimeras. These beasts are a major threat to the airship troops and seriously affect the normal execution of the bombing mission.
I want to personally take action and kill as many Chimeras as possible to clear the way for our air forces."
Instead of wasting his time in the conference room, he might as well go out and find something to do, where he could also practice the art of flying and other secret arts.
Flanders nodded with satisfaction and said gently:
"Even if you didn't mention it, I still wanted to send you out."
The bombing airship has a slow speed, and if it is besieged by Chimera, there is absolutely no chance of survival.
Those combat airships that carried out the air defense plan were proven to be of little use against the Chimera after the last battle and could not be relied upon.
"Make sure the mission is accomplished."
Flanders warned: "Be careful, after the last night attack, the enemy may be on guard against you.
If things are impossible, don't try to be stubborn. Only by preserving yourself can you make more contributions to the church."
The other party has been smooth sailing all the way without a single defeat. This is a good thing, as it can build up invincible confidence and give one the courage and faith to overcome all obstacles.
But at the same time, there is also a bad side, because in this situation, it is easy for people to develop an arrogant character and become insolent.
If you are deliberately targeted, you may end up in a desperate situation with no chance of recovery.
The enemy is a cultist who has survived the church's endless years of siege. Now that the evil god's followers have joined, and they are deliberately targeting someone, it will inevitably be a thundering blow.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Clown smiled lightly and nodded slightly: "Archbishop, rest assured, I value my life the most."
"May the Lord of Fire protect you! You are free to arrange your schedule these days, but you must report to the Holy Fire Cathedral every night."
Flanders gave his blessing and then announced, "The meeting is adjourned and will continue in the afternoon."
Crown and several other silver-level transcendents were the first to walk out of the conference room, and the rest of the people were talking about it.
"Who was that person just now? He was acting alone."
"The Chimera is at least Tier 3, and it has the ability to fly. It would take several of us to deal with one, right? How can one person handle it?"
"He traveled with Archbishop Flanders, so he should also be of the Silver rank. How come I have never heard of this person? Does anyone know his name?"
Del also attended the meeting. He said proudly, "This is His Excellency Crown Moya of the Rhine Diocese. He is of the Silver rank and is currently in charge of the work of the Hammers Diocese."
"So, there are two silver-level masters in the Rhine Diocese who are personally commanding this battle?"
It is said that there are two silver-rank people in the Diocese of Bligh, which is the seat of the Holy See and the core of the entire Church of the Lord of Fire.
"To be exact, there are four Silver-rank warriors participating in the battle. Lord Cavendish Sis is also Silver-rank, and a Silver Warlock has also been recruited."
"Hiss", more exclamations were heard.
. . . .
St Peter's Cathedral, Blaye.
Osman sat in a red oak velvet wide-back chair, reviewing documents.
'Yesterday, the Woz Manor was burned down, and the head of the Williamson family, Anakin Williamson, disappeared, along with several family members. This is the third noble head to disappear in the city of Bly in the past two months.
Rumor has it that a high-ranking cultist has infiltrated the city of Bly, and the Kingdom Senate has asked the church for help in finding the murderer hiding in the dark.'
The Pope tapped the table subconsciously a few times and wrote down his opinion: not agreeing for now, but if a similar incident happens again, he can take over upon request.
Three family heads who have entered their twilight years have advanced to become silver-level warriors. Of course, this kind of thing cannot be known to others.
Let the church help find the murderer. What if they really find out something? How will he end up?
So, I can't agree to take over now.
Osman leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and pressed his temples with his hands.
The silver-level thing can no longer be done! In fact, his original target was those lone third-level extraordinary people, but these people were not wealthy, and the array to extract the origin of life was quite expensive. These people could not afford it, so he could only focus on the targets with rich wealth.
Sure enough, this kind of thing didn’t happen many times before it caused a lot of uproar.
The Kingdom's Senate is an alliance of aristocrats and has close ties with the top leaders of the church.
Once they notice you, you must stop.
He currently obtained four silver-level life essences and used various means to eliminate most of the hidden dangers.
After taking it, I can clearly feel the good effect. The source of life that seems powerful but actually has many hidden dangers has been nourished and slightly restored.
But the amount of life essence is far from enough, and more is needed to make up for the loss that year. He must obtain more silver-level life essence from other means.
Thinking of this, Osman wrote a letter of praise, the gist of which was as follows: 'The Rhine City Diocese has killed a silver-level cultist and is rewarded with 10,000 gold spirit coins and 10,000 milliliters of No. 0 holy water.
The silver heart is stored in the church's secret vault, and is rewarded with a bottle of water of life and five portions of fire essence.
If you capture a silver heart in the future, the reward will be the same as this time.'
The rewards of gold spirit coins and holy water are nothing, the big rewards are the water of life and the essence of fire.
The Water of Life is a specialty of the Church of the God of Life and a holy product for healing. No matter how severely injured the body is, the Water of Life can save one's life.
Other churches would trade with the Church of the God of Life every year in exchange for some water of life in case of emergency.
Osman used to use the water of life to nourish the source of life. It was slightly effective at first, but later it lost its effect.
The essence of flame is a rare object naturally produced in volcanoes. It contains certain laws of fire. One can use secret methods to draw on the power of these laws to accelerate the formation of silver blood.
For the extraordinary people of the Church of the Lord of Flame, it is definitely a treasure. However, the laws contained in the essence of flame are very overbearing, and the minimum requirement for users is the silver rank.
After writing the letter of praise, the Pope nodded slightly. Such a reward could not be refused by the Silver Rank. There should be more Silver Hearts delivered on the battlefield in Rhine City.
He then continued to review the documents.
'His Holiness Alessio Hart of the Church of Storm Lord returned to the embrace of the gods on the 12th day of the month of budding in the 167th year of the new calendar. The farewell ceremony was held three days later and lasted for a week.
His Holiness Andre Williams will be sworn in as the new Pope of the Church of the Lord of the Storm after the farewell ceremony.'
Osman stared at the message for a long time in silence.
Alessio became Pope thirty-one years earlier than him. During the same period, the popes of various churches should have used special means to advance, and the price was to burn the source of life.
The other person's today should be his tomorrow.
"I don't want to repeat the same mistake. The plan must be accelerated and the damage to the source of life must be repaired as soon as possible."
A raging fire burned in Osman's eyes.
Having enjoyed wealth and power for many years, he did not want to become a background figure in history and perish before the heyday.
