Chapter 357 Buy One Get One Free
The Taina River flows through the edge of Andorhal City. The terrain here is flat and the river flows steadily.
Andorhal is the southernmost tip of the Porto Province of the Kingdom of Farouk, and downstream of it is the Kingdom of Ribia.
The setting sun shines on the river, and the orange-red clouds in the sky are rimmed with gold.
The breeze was refreshing, the reeds on the shore rustled, the rippling water waves reflected the sunset glow, like countless twinkling stars, and a few water birds flew over the river, leaving a string of tiny ripples.
The years seemed to have quieted down, and the world at this moment was frozen into a beautiful picture.
The colors of the sky became more and more magnificent, and then the bright light gradually faded. When the sky became dark, gray fog rose from every corner and quickly filled the sky.
On the city’s clock tower, a blazing sacred flame was lit, and the light dispelled the oppressive gray fog.
On the edge of light and darkness, the gray fog rolled endlessly like a vicious beast with bared fangs and claws.
A band of light rose on the surface of the river, which was a buoy on the water.
The night patrol soldiers, divided into groups of five, boarded small boats and began patrolling the wide river.
It was just getting dark and everyone was relaxed, chatting leisurely.
"Why isn't there a large-scale celebration for His Majesty the King becoming Pope? This is the direct jurisdiction of the royal family, and it feels no different from usual."
In the past few days, the news that Arthur Saxon became Pope spread in Farouk.
"The original Pope Osman died in battle, so of course the celebration after the coronation ceremony had to be cancelled," someone responded.
The team leader lowered his voice and said:
"Everyone, stay alert and keep an eye on the water. It has been getting increasingly unstable these past few days. It is said that a murloc overturned a squad's boat last night, and none of the warriors and priests who fell into the water survived."
"Captain, don't scare me. How come we don't know this kind of news? Aren't mermen only found in the sea?"
"Yes, this kind of news is bound to spread quickly."
"Idiot, you must be being suppressed by the higher-ups. Captain, is there any news?"
The captain looked around and saw that the other ships were some distance away from them. He nodded and said:
"I have a cousin who works at the Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce and often follows airships. We met a few days ago and he told me that a large area of the Kingdom of Cintra was occupied by fishmen.
These fishmen can adapt to fresh water and can swim upstream and spread quickly along the water network.
Otherwise, why have we sent out so many night patrol teams recently? Do you think the main purpose is to prevent illegal immigration? Of course not, the purpose is to…”
"Bang."
After a loud bang, shouts were heard not far away.
"A big guy has capsized the boat, be careful."
"Guys, first work together to flip the boat over. Listen to my slogan and do it together."
The captain, whose speech was interrupted, quickly gave orders: "Move closer to them and prepare for battle."
As soon as he finished speaking, the situation in the drowning team changed.
"ah!"
"Oh my god, Jack, there's something big down there."
"No."
After the water splashed, the soldier who fell into the water disappeared, leaving only scarlet blood spreading out, adding a weird tone to the quiet night.
It was as if the Pandora's box of doom had been opened, and small boats were constantly overturned.
In the Kingdom of Ribia, the town of Angolo was once a beautiful valley town surrounded by mountains, with only two paths connecting it to the world outside the mountains.
This place has always been far away from the hustle and bustle of industrialization, like a paradise on earth.
Three years ago, a seven-colored meteor fell here, turning it into a barren land.
All the inhabitants, including their livestock and the plants in the valley, were contaminated by the starlight.
These creatures were unable to muster the desire to leave, and in the end all became food for Star Color.
It was noon when Crown arrived in the area. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, but the valley was gloomy and cold.
Outside the valley, there are green mountains, while inside the valley, there is only monotonous gray and white.
With the wings flapping behind him, Crown adjusted the flight altitude and estimated the size of the polluted area.
He had dealt with Star Color several times and found that the larger the polluted area, the stronger Star Color would be.
After measuring the area of the alienated zone, he estimated the strength of the Star Colors entrenched here. They were stronger than all the Star Colors he had encountered, but their strength was limited.
After confirming the enemy's strength, Clown landed at the edge of the alienated land and took out the gold spirit coins to replenish his spiritual power.
After replenishing the spiritual power of the two spirits, he took a bottle of Holy Water No. 0, and then began to visualize the Golden Light Mantra to adjust his state.
When the Golden Light Mantra reaches the fourth level, double materials can be obtained for eight hours in a day, and the soul will not be damaged when bathing in sunlight or moonlight at any time.
By the time Crown had adjusted his condition to his best, it was already dusk.
The sunset glow filled the sky, leaving an orange-red imprint on the earth, but when the light fell within the valley, the grayish-white tones of the plant branches turned into an eerie scarlet, like flowing blood.
Even though they were far away, Crown could still sense an ominous aura lingering nearby.
He frowned slightly, spread his wings and flew further away.
He knew something about the habits of the Star Colors. These creatures preferred to appear at night, and they became stronger in the dark.
Therefore, he decided to play it safe and start tomorrow morning.
As night fell, gray fog ruled the world.
Clown, who was visualizing the Golden Light Mantra, was awakened by a surge of bewitching feeling, as if someone close to him was calling him, asking him to come to his loved ones.
He opened his eyes and saw a colorful beam of light rising into the sky in the distance.
A hole was broken in the gray fog, revealing the brilliant starry sky.
The direction from which the light column rose was the valley where the Star Color fell, which was seven kilometers away from the valley.
"Judging from the hostility it felt and the distance, this Starlight is at least 30% stronger than the last one we encountered."
Clown had a rough guess in his mind, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. The stronger the enemy, the more benefits he would get after killing him.
The new enemy is stronger, and he is much stronger than the last time he fought.
He released the Heart Cleansing Mantra, and the feeling of being bewitched immediately disappeared without a trace.
The wings behind him slowly spread out and he flew farther away.
No words were spoken that night.
When the morning sun completely dispelled the gray fog, Crown came out of his meditation.
He calmly released various enhancement states, the Golden Light Spell, the Heart Purification Spell, the Source Armor, the Alloy Armor, and finally attached the Fire Cube to the armor.
With his armor stacked up and his wings spread out like a fan, Crown was gleaming in the morning light. He felt like a peacock spreading its feathers.
He pushed his legs against the ground and rushed towards the sky at a thirty-degree angle.
When he reached the edge of the alienated land, he adjusted the angle and fell suddenly, and the landing point was in the center of the polluted area.
As soon as he entered this area, he was overwhelmed by the feeling of desolation and desolation, and a sense of sadness inexplicably arose in his heart.
Deep in Clown's eyes, there appeared the reflection of an hourglass. He released a 25% accelerated bullet time, and fell from the sky like a meteor, dragging a blazing white light behind him.
Getting closer and closer to the ground, he had no intention of slowing down, and he had already activated the spell of the golden light field.
"boom."
It was like a meteorite falling, and the earth was shaking.
Crown's body did not touch the ground. Due to the precise time control of his seventh sense, he released time to stand still the moment he landed.
The sound, like a heavy object falling to the ground, was caused by the rapid collision of two completely different forces, the Golden Light Mantra and the Law of Pollution.
In front of him was a pool of water that seemed clear but was filthy in his spiritual sense.
Even with such a strong collision of energy, the water in the pool remained as calm as before, without a single ripple.
Klauen lost his inertia and remained still on the ground. At the same time, his body shone brightly, and the golden light field swept away the power of the polluting laws nearby.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In his hands, he held four sun thunder seals. As long as the enemy appeared, he would be struck by thunder.
In the sunlight, the power of the law of Sun Thunder Seal will also get a slight bonus.
He has already set up his formation, and the next step is to lure out the enemy, which he is familiar with.
After taking a step forward, Crown released the time clockwork, and the invisible force field dissipated.
He was quite familiar with Star Color's attack methods. The Time Clockwork could form a deceleration field, the purpose of which was to prevent the target from advancing too fast.
Without holding back at all, he launched a series of combined punches.
All preparations are done, now it's time to go fishing.
In his sea of consciousness, Crown used three drops of moonlight to fill up the hourglass of time with spiritual power, and then took out six drops and stored them next to the hourglass, ready to replenish the spiritual power at any time.
The moonlight floats quietly, like stars surrounding the moon in the quicksand of an hourglass of time.
He stretched out his left hand, and a drop of sun essence fell on each of his five fingers.
The pool water filled with pollution laws immediately boiled up and was purified a lot. Last time, he used this trick, and the Star Color hidden in the dark came out to fight him desperately.
This time, there is no exception.
As soon as the pool water began to boil, he felt two colorful bands of light rushing towards him, one in front and one behind.
"Buy one, get one free. Is there such a good deal?!"
Clown was ecstatic, and the Sun Thunder Seal in his hand was activated at the same time. Then, time stood still and was released again. He consumed two-thirds of the Sand of Time at once.
In this way, the duration of time standing still can reach 0.4 seconds. This time is the distance between life and death. He lives and the enemy dies!
The brilliant colors stopped, and Crown's figure was close at hand, yet seemed as far away as the horizon.
He used the remaining sands of time to release a void rift, and a person appeared above.
While traveling through the time tunnel, he once again used the moonlight to replenish his spiritual power and continued to release void rifts.
The moment before Star Color regained its ability to move, four solar thunder seals exploded. The dazzling golden light was brighter than a thousand suns, and the two Star Colors were submerged in the magic-destroying light.
The colors were ignited by the laws filled with fiery purifying power and turned into wisps of green smoke.
Before the shock wave caught up with him, Crown activated time stillness again and then retreated calmly.
When he left the danger zone and looked down at this pale land, warm currents surged from all directions. He seemed to be immersed in a hot spring, and all the pores on his body opened up. When the wonderful feeling of intoxication disappeared, Crown felt lost.
He sighed softly and summoned the golden wall to check the harvest of this trip.
[Golden Light Mantra: 219430/300000; Level 4]
[Breath of Flame Dragon: 80584/120000; Level 1]
Wow, it’s rich!
Clown originally thought that after purifying the Star Color, he would need to work hard for a few more days before his proficiency in the Golden Light Spell would exceed the 200,000 mark.
As a result, I got more than 45,000 proficiency points for a double kill. Buy one get one free is really a great deal!
The Breath of the Flame Dragon also increased with the tide, and the proficiency reached as high as 80,000. The progress from level 5 to level 6 has already gone through two-thirds.
"No, I have to collect more information about the Star Colors. It will be fun to increase my proficiency at this rate."
Clown secretly decided in his heart that he must work hard on intelligence after returning.
Clown worked tirelessly and flew at full speed, gaining a lot of experience in flying magic. He completed the journey that would have taken four days in three days.
He looked down at the land, and the bell tower of the Holy Fire Cathedral came into view.
After flying for more than twenty minutes, he landed at the door of Flanders' room.
I didn't go through the window this time because it was closed.
"Knock, knock," Crown knocked on the door gracefully.
"Come in."
Hearing the footsteps were not from the attendants, Flanders raised his head, and his serious expression immediately turned into a smile: "Why did you have time to come to see me? You should be staying in Hammers preparing for the wedding."
Without exchanging pleasantries, Clown asked directly, "There is something more important that you haven't told me yet. How did the archbishops respond to the Golden Light Dao Seed incident a few days ago?"
He is so familiar with the other party that he can be said to be his closest comrade-in-arms.
Flanders laughed, patted his chest and said;
"I demonstrated the spell I had obtained, and everyone was very interested. I said that no one would refuse this secret technique to cultivate and strengthen the essence of life.
In addition, the secret technique can improve our ability to fight pollution, so those people wanted to obtain the Golden Light Dao Seed at that time.
You came here today, is there good news?"
Clown nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, I can take out the Dao Seeds now. I wanted to ask you through the Dao Seeds, but since we are near Rhine City, it would be unreasonable for me to leave without coming to see you."
"Tsk," Flanders curled his lips, "How come I didn't know you cared about these empty formalities?!"
He paused and continued, "Since you have new Dao seeds, I will notify them to come over.
In order to facilitate communication, our several parishes have newly established a pigeon system, which does not require the use of airships to transmit messages. "
Clown waved his hand: "The Cardinal's successor should have a lot of things to deal with. I'd better go there. It won't take more than a few days."
“Well, that’s fine. As there’s still no news about the monster Osman has turned into, the cardinals had better stay in the church.
This is not a good way to go on. Every day we don't hear from Osman, we live in fear."
With a sigh, Clown frowned:
"Right now we can only passively defend, there is no better way."
