Chapter 344: Moon Spirit Spiritual Light Array
Ten days later.
The azure sky was dotted with white clouds. The golden wings behind Crown flapped rhythmically. In front of him, the city of Hamers was in sight.
A few days ago, he purified the last Star Color of the Farouk Kingdom, and the Golden Light Spell made considerable progress.
[Golden Light Mantra: 116426/300000; Level 4]
This Star Color provided more than 22,000 points of proficiency, and he now had five Golden Light Dao Seeds to use.
Not only that, he also acquired a new skill - Moon Soul Aura Array.
After a brief study, Clown found that this formation would be similar to a sanctuary after it was built. It had strong anti-pollution capabilities and could isolate mental attacks.
In addition, it also has a slight purifying ability and can nourish the soul, which can be regarded as an upgraded version of the sanctuary.
The Moon Soul Spirit Light Array uses six large cornerstones as nodes and thirty-six small cornerstones to build a basic defense array.
In addition, basic defense formations can be stacked up to form a large formation.
However, the materials for the cornerstone need to be made by oneself. Clown took a look and found that the process was not complicated, but it was more troublesome to attach a spirit to the cornerstone.
The Purifying Heart Mantra needs to be continuously embedded into the cornerstone. For a small cornerstone, 49 rounds of the Purifying Heart Mantra need to be stacked, with 36 times in each round. There needs to be a night between two rounds of the mantra. For a large cornerstone, 81 rounds need to be stacked.
This is definitely a laborious process. In addition, the refining of the cornerstone requires cold jade, but fortunately, jade of general quality can meet the requirements.
The city of Hamers already has a protective magic circle, and embedding the Moon Soul Aura Array into it may cause conflicts.
After much thought, Crown decided to find a good place outside the city to build a manor and replace the protective magic circle and the sanctuary with the Moon Soul Aura Array.
However, this matter is still a long way off, and construction can only begin after sufficient foundation stone has been prepared.
The third-level flying magic is very fast. Even if he didn't fly at full speed, the city of Hamers was already in sight.
Crown thought about it and decided to go to the church first. He was also the bishop of the new diocese. Now that such a big change had happened in Fanny's family and he had spent ten days handling private affairs, it was reasonable for him to share some of the work.
He lowered his flight altitude, and some believers patrolling on the city wall waved to him: "Hi, Your Excellency the Bishop!"
Crown returned the friendly smile and waved back.
Under the sun, a golden light shines into the central church.
On the low hill outside Hamers City, Eliza walked listlessly in front.
Audrey decided to build the family residence near the city of Hamers. After finding out that Clown had no intention of competing for the position of Pope, she wanted to do this, but was delayed by the evil beast incident.
Now that Purinton's injuries have basically healed, she finally has time to come here for field research.
Freya asked: "Aunt, how many people will be accommodated in this family residence?"
Purinton smiled and said, "You should ask how many tribesmen are willing to come here. Although Clown is a fifth-level warrior, most tribesmen are still unwilling to leave their homes and open up a new territory.
The family's territory has been operated for countless years, and the defensive power of the magic circle is not inferior to that of the church, so the safety is guaranteed.
But what about here? With all due respect, the magic circle of the Holy Fire Cathedral in Rhine City is barely acceptable, but the magic circle of Hammers City is rather shabby.
The future of Crown is indeed limitless, but the foundation is something that can only be accumulated and deepened over time."
Having said that, Plimpton felt that he had finally found some sense of superiority.
Audrey nodded. She agreed with what Plimpton said, and the letter from the patriarch also proved it.
Most of the family members willing to come to Rhine City are from the side branches, and the only ones willing to come from the main branches are the unappreciated children who want to come here to fight for a better future.
She was willing to stay here, wasn't it because of this idea? ! Audrey sighed secretly in her heart and said:
“The material support provided by the family is not particularly large, and a member of the family wrote to say that they will only support us for ten years.
I calculated that only by establishing some industries as soon as possible can we develop better. After investigating the family branch’s location, we need to investigate the industrial layout of Hammers City. "
She was unsure, as Hamers was just a newly built town that had only been established for two years. Large caravans from the Farouk Kingdom probably rarely came here, let alone those from the continent.
Without sufficient financial support, it will be difficult to establish a family branch.
Freya had been in charge of the family business for a period of time, and she understood the dilemma she would face in the future:
"Logically, we should build our family headquarters in Rhine City, where the business atmosphere is stronger and the transportation conditions are much better than here."
Audrey shook her head and retorted, "I value safety more than business atmosphere.
You were also present when the Church of the Lord of Fire attacked the cultists' camp. Do I need to reiterate the shock of seeing two soul-eating jellyfish being killed instantly?
If you have no comparison object for the battle at that time, then in the turmoil in Rhine City, one silver-rank soldier was killed and two were seriously injured, but it took Crown only one day and one night to solve the problem of such a powerful enemy.
A strong leader is essential to maintaining stability in the region, especially in this day and age."
She used her little finger to gather the windblown hair behind her ears and continued, "We don't have enough money, so we can only live a tight life. We can get through the hardship, but if we lose our lives, we will lose everything."
Freya looked up at Elisa who was walking in front of her, and secretly sighed at her good luck. It was said that the dowry prepared by the family was rich enough, and coupled with her fiancé being so powerful, she would not lack resources on the path to transcendence.
No matter how weak his foundation is, Clown is still a strong man standing at the top of the continent. As long as he can save face, he will have plenty of ways to make money.
Audrey caught a glimpse of a golden light passing by in the distance. She looked sideways and shouted with a smile:
"Eliza, we should go back. I saw a golden light flying from a distance and landing in Hammers City."
"Really?"
Eliza turned around, stood on tiptoe and looked around, but did not see the golden light that her aunt had mentioned.
She originally wanted to meet Crowne, as they could get to know each other better by spending more time together. However, she didn't expect that he would run away for such a long time and not come back, which made her feel a little disappointed.
Seeing her looking around, Audrey's smile widened and she said, "We've already landed, Miss. Of course you can't see it."
Eliza was a little embarrassed. She trotted over, took her aunt's arm, and asked with a smile:
"Aunt, how is this place? I estimated that it is only about four or five kilometers away from Hamers City, and the conditions are not bad."
Audrey gently scratched her small nose with her index finger: "This place is really good, close to the water source, and the terrain is suitable for building a castle.
It is also relatively close to Hamers, and when the city's population grows, the urban area will expand to nearby areas, and we can spend less on building roads."
"How big is the area of your planned base?"
“This is not something that can be planned, but it depends on the size of the crystal core to determine how much area can be supported.
The main crystal core provided by the family can only provide energy for an area one-sixth the size of Hammers City, and all plans can only be based on this premise. "
Freya frowned and said, "This is only the size of a small town."
For a moment, she felt that the future prospects were bleak. The resources she would be able to obtain in the future would most likely be much less than those in the family, and she had no idea how things would develop.
Purinton said:
"Large crystal cores are strategic resources, and the clan leader has other considerations. This area will be sufficient for your use in the short term. If the development here is good enough, the clan is willing to make additional investments."
Audrey shook her head imperceptibly. Without sufficient resources, it would be difficult to develop well.
She decided to go back and study carefully to determine the specialties of the tribesmen who came to settle here, and see if there is a good industrial layout.
Crown returns to the Central Church and finds Nick first.
"Have you told Fanny about Lord Cavendish?"
Nick pursed his lips tightly, shook his head slowly, and said in a deep voice: "After I returned to Hamers, before I had a chance to tell her, someone from the Fanny family came.
The 20,000 gold spirit coins that I lent you before were lent in the name of the Sith Family, and they want to get the IOU back for the money.
Haha, they were worried that Fanny would swallow the money."
Clown felt a little sick. Such a scene happened not long after Cavendish's death. They could talk about it after some time.
"I didn't write a promissory note at that time."
"Didn't you give the money to Fanny, and she returned it to the family."
Klauen frowned and said uncertainly:
"How dare the Sith family offend Fanny and you? After all, you are third-level bishops, and you can't curry favor with them."
When Fanny got married, there were only two third-level extraordinary people in the Sith family, Cavendish and Duke Sith. Later, Cavendish advanced to silver. Now there is only one third-level extraordinary person in the Sith family, and the family's strength has declined a lot.
Why would they do such an unwise thing when they needed external help? It is hard to understand. The people in power in the big family may be greedy, but they are not stupid, right? !
Nick laughed at himself and said, "Your intelligence is outdated. The spiritual concentration of the world is much higher now than when I advanced to the third level. The Sith family has a good foundation, and their children have been promoted to the third level one after another. Now they have six third-level extraordinary people."
It should be a problem of distribution of damn benefits, but it is not worth offending Nick and his wife because of this matter. Clown thought to himself and shook his head secretly.
He exhaled and asked, "Where's Fanny?"
"She went back to the Holy Fire Cathedral. She said she wanted to spend more time with her father."
Nick's expression darkened. He felt his chest was stuffy, so he stroked it a few times and said, "Father hasn't been buried yet. The archbishop said he would wait for you to come back. If you miss the funeral, I'm afraid it will cause misunderstandings."
Klauen was quite embarrassed and responded quickly: "We can return to Rhine City now."
"Don't worry. The city needs people to stay here to guard it. I will ask the Holy Fire Cathedral for help and ask them to send a third-level extraordinary person to stay here temporarily.
If something goes wrong, all our efforts will be wasted.”
"Well," a silver bean with golden patterns appeared in Clown's hand, and he said, "This is the Golden Light Dao Seed."
"It's faster than I expected." Nick took the seed carefully, looked at it closely, and praised: "I can feel the mysterious spirituality contained in it. How should I use it?"
"It's simple, just eat it."
Nick raised his head without hesitation and put the seed into his mouth.
The Tao seed transformed when it came into contact with water, and he immediately sensed the changes in his sea of consciousness.
After Clown felt the Tao seed being generated in the other party's sea of consciousness, he immediately transmitted his insights into the practice of visualization, golden light talisman, heart-clearing talisman, golden light body protection, heart-clearing mantra and golden light seal to the other party's Tao seed.
Nick pondered for a long time and exclaimed: "It's amazing, these secret skills are the reflection of your bloodline power, right? How much of your power can we exert?"
"You are the first person to ask me this question. Generally speaking, it is 30%, but there will be differences between different individuals. The deeper your understanding of visualization, the more power you can develop."
"Golden Light Talisman, is this somehow related to the Golden Light Potion sold to the Brotherhood?"
"Yes, it is the raw material of the Golden Light Potion, but you must sell me the Golden Light Talisman you made. Not only the Golden Light Talisman, but all other finished products, as long as you sell them, can only be traded to me."
Crown just wanted to maintain the monopoly of the medicine to avoid price-cutting competition and hurt the harmony among his own people.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"No problem. I am more concerned about the help of the Golden Light Mantra in my path to becoming a transcendent."
Nick thought it through thoroughly. After all, this bloodline was not his own, and his real reliance was still his ability as a priest.
"You won't be disappointed," Crown said with a smile, "There is one more problem. I need more cold jade now. I would like you to find a special exploration team to survey where there are cold jade veins. I will pay the exploration team a good salary."
"The mining area only supports an exploration team. Just let them look for mineral veins. If you pay them, you can save me some money."
"You must want to try the visualization method, so I won't bother you. Just let me know when you return to the Holy Fire Cathedral.
By the way, is there any teaching matter that I can help you with?"
Nick laughed: "I don't know you yet. Never mind. Most of them are trivial matters. There are people in charge of them."
Crown shrugged and said nothing.
He was indeed too lazy to get involved in academic affairs. Maybe Nick was shirking his responsibilities because he wanted to have more power, but he really didn't care at all.
The most important thing is to have enough power in your hands, which is a feeling that power politics cannot give you.
The other party is willing to work hard and I am willing to take it easy, we are a perfect match.
9 Solent Street.
As soon as Crown landed in the yard, William hurried over: "Sir, you are finally back. Lady Audrey of the McLean family has been waiting for you for a long time. Miss Eliza is also here. They are in the living room."
Although he did not attend the bishop's engagement, his personal butler Billy reported the relevant news to him in detail.
William was very happy. As long as the bishop had an heir, it would mean that he would have the opportunity to teach the young master, and maybe he could even pave the way for his own children.
"Okay, I'll change my clothes and go meet them."
After he changed his clothes, he came to the living room and said with a smile:
"I went to the church to take care of some things. Sorry to have kept you waiting."
He nodded to Eliza, who lowered her head shyly.
"Dealing with church affairs is the most important thing," Audrey agreed. She paused and said politely, "Sir, I have decided to build a family residence outside the city. Do you have any suggestions?"
"Really? Very good. But Rhine City should be more suitable, right?"
Crown didn't understand the requirements for establishing a base, so how could he offer any good advice? However, he knew that the other party was just asking politely.
Audrey complimented calmly, "I think it would be safer to live near you."
"Haha," Crown Lang laughed, "If you need any help, just let me know."
The McLean family will soon be his in-laws. This force that has continued since the last holy war will definitely provide considerable help, such as the method of obtaining the stigmata gold.
Although this kind of method is absolutely a secret, as long as he shows outstanding potential, he will be able to obtain the other party's investment.
"Then I won't be polite!"
Audrey smiled. She had already had this idea in mind, and now that the other party had taken the initiative to say it, she was of course willing to seek help.
"I want to get a loan of gold spirit coins from you. I will charge the highest interest rate on the market."
She studied the other party's past carefully. He spent most of his time improving his level as a transcendent. He didn't actually accumulate many connections in all aspects. Only someone who was so focused could improve so quickly.
Golden Spirit Coins! Clown scratched his head. He didn't have many Golden Spirit Coins left.
Audrey, who was smart, saw his dilemma and said, "If you don't have enough money, forget it."
William explained:
"Your Excellency may not know that due to the war in the past six months, the church owes us a large amount of goods on credit. It takes a certain period of time to settle the bill, and the operating costs are all borne by ourselves."
Clown waved his hand and said, "I am indeed short of money recently, but I will lend you some money when I recover.
Since you are going to build a base, have you prepared the core crystals needed for the magic circle?"
When each large force establishes a base, the most important thing is the protective magic circle.
Purinton said: "Everything is ready. The crystal core will be delivered together with Eliza's dowry."
"How big will your base be?"
The size of the main crystal core of the magic array can be inferred by the size of the base.
Purinton was a little unnatural: "It's one-sixth the size of Hamers City. If the family branch can gain a foothold, the patriarch will definitely provide more assistance."
Clown smiled politely and turned to look at Audrey. "What's your ideal size? I happen to have an extra crystal core. If you think it's suitable, you can use it first."
As he spoke, he took out the crystal core produced by the Tindalos Hound.
Seeing the egg-sized crystal core, Audrey's eyes lit up immediately, and then she shook her head: "This is too expensive, I can't afford the corresponding price."
Such a large crystal core can be sold for thirty to forty thousand gold spirit coins, but it is a priceless item and no one is willing to sell it. It is used to exchange for rare items and things supplied by the family, and there are no rare spirit objects.
Clown handed over the crystal core and said:
"It's useless to keep it with me. Just take it and return my gold spirit coins to me."
"Sir, I estimate that this crystal core can be used as the main crystal core of a protective array as large as Hamers City. Maybe one day you will want to build a Moya family base somewhere else. Are you sure you are willing to sell it to me?"
"Yes I do."
Klauen added silently in his heart: "Because I have a better choice."
The Moon Soul Spirit Light Array can provide better defense and is more useful than the Protection Array. Exchanging this doomed thing for gold spirit coins and favors is a very cost-effective deal for him.
Audrey was silent. This gift was too valuable and heavy. She didn't know whether she should accept it.
Freya shouted anxiously in her heart: "Accept it quickly, aunt!"
If a family branch wants to grow and develop, there must be enough space. Even if it is not possible to develop such a large area now, it can be done slowly.
"Take it, aunt," Eliza advised. Her maternal family was her backing, and the stronger the family branch, the more confident she would be.
"Then I would like to thank you, Your Excellency." Audrey understood and happily accepted the crystal core.
As for favors, it means you owe me and I owe you, and this is how the relationship will gradually deepen.
"I am willing to offer 50,000 gold spirit coins, and the interest will be calculated based on the current highest interest rate."
"No, normal interest is fine. You're setting up a family branch, and you'll need money everywhere. It's not good to have too heavy a burden."
After sending Audrey and the others away, Clown instructed, "Help me prepare some quartz stones, the purer the better, and also prepare some high-purity silver powder and mercury gold."
He reported some materials, which were the cornerstones for creating the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array.
"I understand, sir," William said with difficulty, "but our cash is tied up in the goods, and you asked us to buy the Gray Spirit Coins, so we can't afford to buy these things at the moment."
"How many Gray Spirit Coins have you purchased so far?"
"More than 4,000 coins. The gold coins you sent back and the proceeds from the trade with the Brotherhood are almost all used up. Now we only have more than 30 gold coins left in our account. This is what I plan to use to pay the workers, but it can only last for two months."
Klauen nodded and said with a smile: "Send all the Gray Spirit Coins to the Alchemy Lab. Don't worry that we will go bankrupt."
Ever since he spread the Golden Light Dao Seed, materials such as the Sunfire Liquid are now much more abundant.
"That's good," William's mood suddenly became much brighter. He had been very anxious these days, and the pressure of the broken capital chain was too great.
"Your Excellency, I will go and supervise the kitchen to prepare dinner."
"Go ahead."
Crown took a short break and started to complete his daily routine. He began to practice the Wind of Healing. Half an hour later, William invited him to the restaurant for dinner.
When Crown arrived at the restaurant and saw the grilled chicken wings on the table, he suddenly had an idea: 'Why don't I try to practice the Wind of Healing with a chicken? I'll cut the chicken first, then release the skill. If this can speed up my proficiency acquisition, it will be worth it.'
He turned to the butler standing beside him and said, "Catch a live chicken and send it to the training ground tomorrow morning."
