Chapter 358 You're Not Lying to Me

Ten days later, Crown returned to Hammers City.

There is not enough time. After those cardinals took the seeds of Tao, the level of the Golden Light Spell was only upgraded to level three. I will help them upgrade it when I have free time in the future.

Now, these archbishops can provide him with about 200 points of proficiency every day. Once the spell level of these people is raised to the fourth level, the improvement of the Golden Light Spell will enter the fast lane.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, William rushed over:

"Your Majesty, you are finally back!"

Behind him, another person walked out. Tiffany had a helpless smile on her face: "My dear brother, the wedding will be held in a few days. Where have you been?! I heard from the housekeeper that your dress has not been made yet."

"There's still time," Crown shook his head awkwardly.

When he left Rhine City, he asked Flanders to arrange an airship to take his sister and her family to Hamers and help prepare for the wedding.

As a result, he was away for ten days, and many tasks had to be confirmed by his presence in person, such as custom-made dresses.

"We come from a small family, and I don't know how to hold a wedding. If Fanny hadn't come to help, we would have made a fool of ourselves."

Tiffany breathed a sigh of relief. The marriage partner was a noble family, and the wedding ceremony was extremely complicated. She was completely unable to handle it.

The main reason was that she always had a slight sense of inferiority in her heart. Recently, she had more contact with Audrey, Fanny and others, and found it difficult to integrate into the world of people like them.

Clown smiled gently, hugged his sister, and said:

"Rules are made by people. We can remove those cumbersome steps. I'll go talk to Audrey."

He was also tired of the red tape and thought it didn't need to be so complicated.

“Don’t,” Tiffany hurriedly pulled him back and waved her hand, “You know that the sense of ceremony is very important to Eliza? Besides, if you do this, the McLean family may misunderstand that you don’t respect them enough.

Now that you are back, I will explain every step of the wedding to you so that you can have a general idea of ​​it."

As she said this, she was about to pull Clown inside.

"Madam," William smiled bitterly, "I will notify the tailor now to come and make a dress for you first. We need to make three sets of dresses in total, and the tailor doesn't have much time left."

"Yes, that's right," Tiffany patted her forehead, "I've been so busy these days. Let's go to the study to discuss things. You can ask the tailor to meet us there."

"Okay." William bowed slightly and left in a hurry.

Osman stared at his reflection in the water. His brown skin made his face blurry, with streaks of flesh hanging from his cheeks and jaw.

The whiskers seemed to have their own consciousness, and they would entangle with each other from time to time, as if they were communicating something.

He stretched out his hand, and in the center of his palm, his green eyes opened, and two special perspectives appeared in his field of vision.

Faced with this situation, he did not find it strange at all, but rather found it very interesting.

Unconsciously, his aesthetic sense became distorted.

Behind him were several bear-like monsters that had turned into mummies.

Osman absorbed the life essence of the monsters, and after a few days of recuperation, his broken arm grew back.

The sun had risen and the gray fog slowly dissipated. Osman walked into the water, and his shadow gradually became transparent and merged with the water.

This is the Taina River. He goes downstream and his next destination is the Kingdom of Ribia.

He tried to find out that the cities around Bligh were all on guard and the protective array had been activated. It would be difficult to create a new army of evil beasts, so it would be better to go to neighboring countries to look for opportunities.

His most coveted target is Crown, but the previous fight has made him realize that he is not yet his opponent's match. If he wants to kill him and devour his blood essence, he needs to become stronger.

Although Osman's appearance and mentality had become inhuman, his intelligence was still online. He knew in his heart that the church would never publicize the fact that he had turned into a monster.

As long as the actions are careful and a few massacres are carried out in the Kingdom of Ribia, it will be difficult to be discovered in a short period of time.

At that time, he would lead the army of evil beasts to capture cities and territories, and fight to support the war. When the army reached a certain size, he would return to the Kingdom of Farouk with a thunderous force.

He had a strong premonition that as long as he could devour Klauen's blood essence, he would be able to make a big step forward.

The statue of the God of Knowledge is a kind old man with white hair and beard. He holds a scepter in his left hand and a book made of pure gold in his right hand.

His eyebrows dropped to his ears, and his eyes contained a wise and kind light.

Anthony Bond finished his prayer and stood up. He walked to the window, his eyes swept over the towering bell tower and the slightly shorter chimney, and fell into deep thought.

The Kingdom of Ribia is sandwiched between Sintland and Farouk, and its relations with the Church of the Lord of Storms and the Church of the Lord of Fire are not harmonious.

The situation in the Sintlands has now become very bad, with a steady stream of murlocs crossing the Sintlands into Ribia.

The entire Taina River Basin was plagued by murlocs, and he had to send more forces to resolve the threat of murlocs.

However, if Sintland still allows so many murlocs to cross the border, they will be stuck in the quagmire of war.

No matter how powerful a country is, it will be dragged down if it is caught in an endless war of attrition.

Now, the fate of the Kingdom of Ribia has come to a crossroads, and he faces a choice.

If we don't help the Sintlan, the murlocs will continue to enter the country, but helping the Sintlan is equivalent to using our own power to do things for our neighbors.

No matter what you do, you will suffer a loss.

"Knock, knock," the knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Anthony concealed his solemn emotions and put on a confident and calm smile: "Come in."

The person who came in was an older man with gray hair, but his eyes were clear and bright.

The old man bowed respectfully and presented a document with both hands: "Your Holiness, the Kingdom of Farouk has sent a notice that I think is very important."

Anthony raised his eyebrows: "What urgent matter could these barbarians hiding in the snowy land have?"

He took the file and opened it. There were only a few words on it, just a few lines, but it conveyed a lot of information.

St. Peter's Basilica was attacked by cultists, Osman de Luke, Pope of the Church of the Lord of Flame, was killed in battle, and Arthur Saxon succeeded him as Pope. Each of these events was not trivial, and when put together, they became a vortex of trouble.

It was absurd that cultists could appear in Hephaestus' church and attack the church that symbolized the gods. The Pope died in battle. These news made him feel absurd.

This is the church that has been fighting him for many years without losing?! Being able to make such a low-level mistake, the reputation of the Church of the Lord of Fire will surely spread widely across the continent.

Arthur's succession as the new Pope was not good news. The two countries had a dispute over territory, which was a small island called Bird Island located in the middle of the Taina River.

The Church of the Lord of Fire has never recognized the occupation of this place by the Kingdom of Ribia, and Farouk's royal family is a staunch advocate of war.

The two countries had numerous small-scale conflicts over the islands, and the islands changed hands several times. It was not until more than a hundred years ago that the conflict eased.

Now that the Saxon family has come to power, it means another turbulent time.

“Your Majesty, according to intelligence, on the day when St. Peter’s Cathedral was besieged, a fire burned down half of the city of Bly. Now the Farouk Kingdom must be in a state of panic.

We might as well take some measures to make them more chaotic."

The old man looked at Anthony with a burning gaze, a cold aura in his eyes.

Several talented members of his family had died in the battle for Bird Island, and as a result, the entire family hated everything about Farouk's Kingdom.

Anthony shook his head slightly: "I also wish that all these barbarians would die, but if the situation in Farouk Kingdom gets out of control, those evil gods' followers will definitely not miss this opportunity.

The Farouk Kingdom was not completely powerless, as they also involved the forces of the two evil gods' followers.

When Osman was still alive, didn't he say that a fifth-level evil god's family soul-eating jellyfish appeared in the Andes Mountains? If such a strong evil god's family entered Ruibia, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble. "

He disliked the Kingdom of Farouk very much, but as a rival, he attached great importance to intelligence gathering on Farouk.

"Haha, Osman actually boasted that he killed two fifth-level creatures while his own side was unscathed. Such news is simply an insult to people's intelligence! I don't believe it.

Besides, the Golden Family hasn't produced a fifth-order extraordinary person yet, so how can a remote place like the Farouk Kingdom be worthy of it? Anyway, as long as we don't go there to verify the truth of the matter in person, they can just make it up on their own."

Anthony did not reply. Based on his understanding of Osman, he knew that the other party would not spread such ridiculous false news.

Another very important point is that all churches have announced that they will unite to fight against the coming of the evil god.

Any small move at this time would cause resentment from other churches and greatly damage the church's credibility.

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

No one likes someone who stabs their teammates in the back. If they do this, they will definitely be suspected by other churches.

"Your Majesty, this is a really good opportunity. We can send a large force to the banks of the Taina River to drive away the murlocs that are chasing the water.

We don't need to do anything deliberately, as long as we drive as many of these fishmen upstream as possible, we can naturally kill them with a borrowed knife.

This kills two birds with one stone: it weakens the enemy and makes the problems we face much simpler.”

Anthony thought for a long time and responded:

"Do it covertly, so as not to arouse suspicion from those who have ulterior motives."

"Don't worry, I'm the best at this kind of thing."

9 Solent Street, Hammerstown.

The house was decorated with lights and was bustling with activity. The best men had already arrived, but the groom was nowhere to be seen.

At this time, Clown was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the bedroom, meditating on the Golden Light Mantra.

He sensed that the time was almost up, so he ended his visualization and summoned a golden wall.

[Golden Light Mantra: 235866/300000; Level 4]

[Breath of Flame Dragon: 83578/120000; Level 1]

His proficiency increased steadily, and the day when he would advance to the sixth level was not far away.

Even if he no longer seeks alienated places to "earn extra money", two months is enough for him to make further progress.

"There seems to be no second fifth-level extraordinary person on the continent, and I have already advanced to the sixth level. Isn't this a bit too conspicuous?"

Crown thought narcissistically in his heart. After washing up, he opened the door. Then, he saw his brother-in-law Rodney Wilkerson standing at the door with his arms raised.

Rodney said in an exaggerated tone: "Oh, dear Crown, I thought you were too excited last night and fell asleep too late and forgot the time! Today is a big occasion, I think you will always remember everything that happened today.

Are you ready to go meet your bride?"

He tried his best to sound friendly. Thanks to his brother-in-law, he has now reached the level of a third-order transcendent, which was unimaginable before.

He knew that hard work was only a small part of his rapid progress; the biggest help was the brotherhood's dedicated training.

But he knew very well what he had done to deserve the brotherhood to spend so much energy on him.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, I'm ready."

"Let's get going right away. The wedding carriage is ready. The eight horses pulling the carriage are all white, without a single stray hair. It took me a lot of effort to find so many white horses."

Crown brought a large wedding procession to the McLean family's residence outside the city.

Entering the castle, the buildings inside are extremely luxurious.

After the tedious ceremony, everyone came together to the central cathedral of Hamers.

Flanders was the wedding host and pastor. With his loud announcement, the wedding entered its most important part: "Crown, the Lord of Fire has bestowed upon you the glory of fire, giving you endless courage to shoulder the responsibility of being the head of a family. Now, let us cheer for the newlyweds. The Lord of Fire will illuminate their way forward."

As soon as he finished speaking, the holy fire in the church niche suddenly shone brightly, and the flames shot up more than one meter high.

The applause was like a surging wave, one higher than the other, and it lasted for a long time.

Witnessed by the gods, the newlyweds swore a sacred oath, and everyone went to the tavern to get drunk. After the sunset cast its last rays of light, gray fog dominated the world.

Crown looked out the window and felt that the mist had become somewhat gentle.

He closed the windows, drew the curtains, and approached his bride.

At this moment, Eliza was sitting at the table, looking shy.

Clown stretched out his hand, placed it in front of her eyes, and said with a smile:

"For you."

In the palm of his hand, there lay quietly a heart-shaped pendant and a silver bean painted with gold threads.

The pendant is a Mingxin pendant infused with moonlight, and the silver bean is of course the only remaining golden light Taoist seed.

"So beautiful," Eliza picked up the pendant and the Dao seed, "Please help me put them on."

Clown readily took the pendant and put it on her, explaining:

"This is a rare item. It has a strong calming and pollution-resisting effect. If spiritual pollution invades you, it can emit spiritual light to protect you."

Eliza raised the Golden Light Dao Seed and raised her eyebrows slightly:

"Thank you, I like it very much. What is this? I always feel that it has a mysterious attraction."

"This is a holy object that can stimulate a certain bloodline power. It is called the Golden Light Dao Seed."

As Clown said this, he released the Moon Spirit Shield.

There was a flash of silver light on the two people's bodies, and then he released the Golden Armor Technique, and the room was filled with dazzling golden light.

"If you take the Tao Seed, you can also release spells like this, and there are many other functions."

For some reason, Crown felt like the wolf grandmother who tricked Little Red Riding Hood, and couldn't help laughing.

Eliza's eyes lit up with a different look. She could feel the effects of two spells:

"Just by eating this little bean, I can gain such power? Are you kidding me?!"
