Chapter 319: A discerning eye for pearls
The next day, Crown stayed in the mansion and did not go out.
Having just won a victory, there is no follow-up action at the moment, so he doesn't need to go to the church and the military camp every day.
I worked hard all night last night and used up all the raw materials. I refined a total of seven Mingxin Pendants, and my proficiency in making rare items has reached 1631 points.
He stole a half day's leisure from his busy life and cooked a few side dishes himself. He poured himself a drink and watched the clouds roll by in the sky.
Before he knew it, he had been in this world for more than three years. This was the most leisurely and comfortable morning for him.
The smell of food tempted several trained animals to keep looking around, but they didn't get anything.
It's just such a small amount, not enough for him alone, how could he give it away?
As noon approached, the glasses were empty and the plates were bare.
Just as he was about to end his laziness, Billy hurried over, holding a bamboo tube in both hands: "Sir, a secret letter from Hammers City."
Crown narrowed his eyes and immediately sat up straight.
Two red copper wires are wrapped around the bamboo tube, indicating that the situation is extremely urgent.
A blade appeared at the tip of his index finger, and he easily split the bamboo tube. He opened the rolled-up paper, scanned it at a glance, and said:
"Reply immediately. I will send Lorraine back to assist him. Then go to the third camp and inform Melissa and Lorraine to come back to see me.
Also, go to the Second Military Camp to find Lady Fanny Siss and ask her how she plans to deal with this matter."
A major incident occurred in the mining area and production has now been stopped, but steel production is related to bomb manufacturing, so it must not be stopped and must be dealt with as soon as possible.
Del needed to take charge of the military camp on his behalf, so he sent Melissa to assist Lorraine and go together.
"Yes, sir." Billy understood the urgency of the matter and trotted away.
Not long after Billy left, Fanny arrived at the mansion.
"Mr. Crown, has Nick reported to you about the mining area?"
She looked at Clown from head to toe quickly and carefully. She learned from her father that this guy in front of her had advanced to level five. She felt mixed emotions at the moment.
I feel happy about the support from my allies, but also a little worried.
This ally is improving too fast, and the gap between them will become bigger and bigger in the future.
If we cannot maintain an equal dialogue relationship, the friendship we once had will be diminished by every bit we use.
Is the potential of the Son of God's bloodline really so terrifying? ! Clown nodded slightly and pointed to the seat next to him.
"I just received it. I sent Billy to ask for your opinion. Please take a seat and we will discuss it slowly. What are your plans?"
Fanny was halfway in her chair, leaning forward slightly, and said:
“Safety in the mine is extremely important at the moment, and I talked to my father about it.
My father said that the possibility of a fight breaking out recently is very small, and he agreed that I should return to Hammers City to help deal with it. Do you have any suggestions? "
“I can’t easily make a conclusion without seeing the scene. But I guess it’s a highly polluting evil creature.
As long as it is a flesh and blood creature, it must have weaknesses. The key is to find this weakness.
When you leave, I will lend you a small item that is just right for this situation."
Two hours later, Melissa and Lorraine sped back to 36 Baker Street.
Clown showed them the information Nick had passed on and said:
"This time, we are sending you back mainly to rely on Lorraine's strength to help you find out what means the enemy uses to attack, and then cooperate with Sir Nick to eliminate the enemy and restore production in the mining area as soon as possible."
After that, he took out four Mingxin Pendants and handed them to several people in turn: "Just wear them on your body, they will automatically form a defense, and the extra one is for Nick."
Then he whistled again, and Fokine flew out from the backyard of the mansion with Buster caught under him.
"I will send Fujin and the others to you. These two tamed beasts are already third-level extraordinary creatures."
He passed on the situation of the Hamers mining area through the Tao seeds. After the two trained beasts advanced, their intelligence improved further, and their comprehension ability was equivalent to that of a human boy of eleven or twelve years old.
Because the two trained beasts have been fed with talisman water for a long time and have now learned the visualization method of the Golden Light Mantra, they are not afraid of ordinary pollution at all.
"Both Fujin and Bast have entered the third level of transcendence?!"
Lorraine opened her eyes wide, looking as if she had seen a ghost.
Recalling the first time she and Clown met, these two pets were following each other. At that time, these two could only be considered pets, and she herself was already a first-level transcendent.
Now, the two wild beasts that the bishop had kept as pets had actually reached the third level, while she was still stuck at the second level. Thinking about it, she felt inexplicably ashamed.
Melissa's expression was not much better. She bit her lower lip and lowered her head, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"I thought I was only one step away from reaching the third level, and I was a little complacent. Who knew I couldn't even compare to the beasts raised by the headmaster."
Fanny shook her head with a complicated expression and smiled bitterly:
"It's urgent. Let's go. The Archbishop has learned of the situation at the mine and has prepared an airship."
Clown stood up and said in a deep voice: "Be careful! May the Lord of Fire protect you."
"Goodbye, sir."
Fujin excitedly grabbed Buster and flew away. He had to complete related tasks every day, and he had been looking for a chance to go out and play for a long time. Today he finally got the chance.
The three men and two beasts walked out of the mansion, and the servants had already prepared the horses at the door.
Looking at the other two people who looked embarrassed, Fanny waved her hand, motioning them to come forward, and said softly: "According to reliable information, Lord Crown is now a fifth-level extraordinary person."
"ah?!"
Melissa and the other looked at each other in bewilderment. A few months ago, the bishop told them that they had advanced to the silver level. It had only been half a year. How could they have become level five extraordinary people? This didn't make sense. "I didn't believe it at first, but I had to believe it. Comparing people, hey, changing the object of comparison will make me feel much calmer."
Fanny climbed onto the horse and gave it a hard slap on the hindquarters: "Gee!"
The horse ran out wildly in pain.
Melissa sighed and said, "Let's go too. The stronger the Bishop is, the easier it will be for us."
After seeing Fanny and the others off, Crown observed Arcturus for a while and drew a few sketches.
He would need to make a suitable set of armor for this giant bear in the future, so now he had to think carefully about how to start.
If he releases his wild rage, the tamed beast will enter a frenzy state, increasing its combat power and size, so the armor needs to be designed with a retractable area.
However, this matter is important but not urgent. He still has plenty of time to think about it slowly. He needs to wait at least a few years until the giant bear reaches adulthood and its size is fixed before he can start forging it.
Three days later.
Crown still stayed in the mansion. The reconnaissance airships sent out every day brought news that the cultists in the Andes Mountains had abandoned their camp and it was now deserted.
Although no one knew the real reason why the enemy left, everyone in Rhine City breathed a sigh of relief.
Flanders convened a military meeting, informed them of the situation, and decided that the arsenal would operate at full capacity for the next period of time.
If after bombing this base built in the mountains, the enemy still fails to gather and leave the mountains, it will be reported to the Vatican and the enemy will be released in batches.
The brother parish troops who came to support were even more delighted when they learned of this situation.
If a skirmish had occurred, who knows how many soldiers would have died in a foreign land. This ending is a happy one for everyone.
There was also good news. A letter came from the Hamers Mine District saying that the situation had been brought under control and the enemy's weakness had been found.
Thanks to Fujin, the crow spewed fire when attacked, and it was discovered that the possessed monsters were very afraid of being burned by high temperatures.
The mine is currently checking all areas and will be able to resume production in a few days.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It was dusk at this moment, and Crown had just finished visualizing the golden light spell when Flanders came to visit.
After treating each other to dinner, the two of them went to the study.
Flanders was somewhat worried: "I always feel that the cultists have other plots. If the troops from other parishes withdraw one after another and the enemy comes back, how can we resist?
But not withdrawing the troops is not an option. The population of the parish is increasing rapidly and the food pressure is enormous.
Now the birth rate in all parishes has greatly increased, and food will not be too abundant in each parish.
The evil god has not yet revived, and perhaps humans will have disputes over food."
Crown rested his chin on one finger and echoed:
"If we continue with the current birth rate, the food shortage problem will become very serious in a few years."
The spiritual concentration in the world increases, plants grow luxuriantly, and grain harvests are plentiful.
However, the population is increasing too quickly, and the excess food from the harvest will gradually fall below consumption.
By then, new conflicts will arise among human beings over the supply of survival materials.
He paused, then continued, “But this is all in the future. More and more people will be corrupted by pollution, and the birth rate will be high, so the total population will not increase so fast.
If we are worried that the cultists will make a comeback, we can apply to the Vatican and order the troops in neighboring parishes to prepare for support.
In addition, our airships will conduct reconnaissance a little deeper to obtain the most timely intelligence. As long as the cultists regroup, we will be able to prepare in advance."
It was simply unrealistic to go to the mountains and actively fight. The Rhine Diocese could only passively defend and block the enemy as the cultists advanced.
Flanders nodded, deeply in agreement. He hesitated, then asked, "After the war, if the church arranges for you to serve as a cardinal in another diocese, would you agree?"
He stared at the other person nervously, waiting for an answer.
Crown shook his head slightly and joked, "It's ok to be a cardinal, but if you want me to be the Pope, I can consider it."
As the Pope, he might have some knowledge that only the Pope could know. He wanted to check the records of the church to see if there was any method to achieve the stigma gold. What level of life forms did the gods belong to? Of course, he was not in a hurry now. It would not be too late to consider these things when he became a sixth-level extraordinary. Maybe he could also get some information from the McLean family.
Flanders was stunned, then felt relieved. If the other party continued to stay in the Rhine Diocese, the safety here would be more guaranteed.
He didn't believe that the cultists had more fifth-level extraordinary people. As long as Clown continued to stay here, his arrangements would be more relaxed.
Another very important point is that the other party has no desire for power, which does not affect his ability to give orders, nor will it interfere with his orders.
The archbishop leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice, "If you really want to compete for the Pope, it's not impossible.
Osman has little time left, and when he returns to our Lord, we can choose you as our successor."
In the past, he could only better deal with the evil god if he united more people, but if his own forces could produce a super master, then it would not be impossible to be hostile to the Saxon family.
Besides, if the Saxon family knew that Crown was so powerful, they would have to think twice even if they wanted to seize the position of Pope by force.
The higher the level of the extraordinary person, the less likely it is that they will be able to use lower-level extraordinary people to surround and kill him.
Crown scratched his head. As far as he knew, there would be no problem for the Pope to live another ten or twenty years.
But if he had such a long time to contemplate the Golden Light Mantra and study the breathing method, I am afraid he would not be far away from the golden stigmata. At that time, would he still need to be the Pope? He could be a leader.
He waved his hand and said, "I was just joking. I am not very interested in becoming the Pope. I just think that the Pope should have more secret knowledge than us. I am interested in knowledge."
I want to improve so much!
Flanders nodded slightly without commenting.
He began to calculate in his mind how likely it was that Crown would become Pope.
With his current advancement momentum, the sixth level is not a dream. If he helps lobby, he has a good chance of becoming the Pope.
After the war, the news that the other party has become a fifth-level transcendent will definitely be known to all forces. Perhaps this news will spread completely without waiting for the war to end.
The fact that a pope came out of the Rhine Diocese shows that he has a unique vision and can recognize talent. After getting the answer he wanted, Flanders was in a good mood. After chatting for a while, he got up and left.
There is no action for the time being. Clown stays at home every day, quietly gaining experience.
Cook occasionally to reward yourself for your hard work.
Eliza, on the other hand, comes over every day. It's a relief to have a beautiful girl to chat with for a while.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and five days pass in the blink of an eye.
In the morning, Crown released Bullet Time and began to practice the Savage Bone Breathing Method. Suddenly, he felt that the speed of his blood circulation had increased slightly, and his steps forward also reached the destination faster than expected.
An hourglass with a brass base flashed in his eyes, and the whole world seemed to stop at this moment, and everything turned into a monotonous gray.
The vision was fleeting, and Crown immediately thought of the hourglass. Only this spirit-controlling function could cause the current phenomenon.
He stopped practicing the Far Rotation Breathing Method and his consciousness sank into the sea of consciousness.
At this moment, with the hourglass of time as the center, circles of silver-gray runes spread outward, and at the same time, an ancient and vicissitudes of life aura permeated the sea of consciousness.
After a while, when the light and shadow disappeared, Clown saw that the shape of the hourglass had increased a lot, and under the base of the hourglass, there was another bright silver star.
