Chapter 379: Current Situation on the Continent

After an afternoon and half a night of intense training, Geralt's visualization method finally reached the third level.

Clown said: "This level of Golden Light Spell is enough for you to use for now. You can use Del to order a weapon with the Evil-Slaying Seal. This weapon has a stronger killing effect on dark creatures and will not affect your use of sword oil.

In addition, the Golden Seal can smudge objects, giving them certain magic-breaking properties, but only metals can maintain this property for a long time.

When I come back from the Kingdom of Namiia, I will help you raise the level of the Golden Light Spell."

"Okay," Geralt's tone was a little excited. After learning many secret techniques, both his combat effectiveness and survivability improved a lot.

These are not the most important things, because the Golden Light Mantra can also increase the source of life and repair hidden injuries of the body, and as time accumulates, the benefits brought by the Golden Light Mantra will become greater and greater.

After accumulating the visualization of the Golden Light Mantra for a period of time, he can begin to prepare for the trial ceremony.

“The Sunfire Liquid and Moon Dew you obtain through visualization are the materials for releasing the secret technique. The extra materials can be sold to me, and you can get the corresponding containers from William later.

The containers for Sunfire Liquid and Moon Dew cannot be mixed, so remember this."

Klauen talked about a lot of precautions, and Geralt took careful notes. Finally, the witcher asked a little embarrassedly:

"Sir, do you have any extra seeds like this?"

He wanted to get one for Yennefer, and his apprentice Alan also needed one. Such a good thing, everyone deserves to have it.

"There are no extra ones for now." Clown currently only has two Dao Seeds left.

He went to the Kingdom of Namiia to attend a meeting, which might be of use. If he could build a good reputation among high-level extraordinary people in other churches, he could not only enhance the strength of his allies but also quickly gain proficiency.

The evil god's revival is getting closer and closer, and the allies are stronger, which can enhance the strength of mankind and share the firepower.

The condition for obtaining the latest Tao seed of the fifth-level Golden Light Mantra is to reach half of the proficiency, and it is still relatively early now.

"Are you asking for Dao Seeds for other people?" Clown laughed. "In another two months, I will be able to produce a new batch of Dao Seeds. I will leave a few for you then."

Geralt said gratefully, "Two will be enough."

"Okay, it's late. Let Billy take you to the guest room to rest."

"Good night, sir."

The two separated, and Crown returned to the bedroom. Eliza was still awake, and she whispered:

"I gave Geralt one Dao Seed. You can only take out two Dao Seeds now, right?"

"You're really good at arithmetic. Three minus one equals two, that's right."

"Hmph, don't interrupt. I beg you for one thing. Keep these two Tao seeds safe. If you run into the head of the family in the Namiia Kingdom, give them to them."

Eliza has deep feelings for her family and has never been treated unfairly in the family, so she wants to leave this benefit to the family.

"If I really meet Mr. Grenoble, I can leave one for him. I have other plans for the other one.

The current situation is their choice. I once promised to give them fifteen Dao Seeds, but they have been hesitant to decide on the candidate, which is a waste of my resources.

But I will be able to get a new batch of Tao seeds in more than a month. If the McLean family is interested, I will leave enough Tao seeds, provided they are willing to take them immediately."

Crown did not fully agree to his wife's request, he had his own plans.

If you don't take the Tao seeds, it's impossible to gain proficiency. Wasting time is tantamount to stealing money and killing people.

Eliza hugged him and said softly, "You decide. I hope that under equal conditions, you will give priority to the McLean family.

We all know that the day of the evil god's coming is getting closer and closer, and the stronger we become, the safer we will be."

As a descendant of a large family that had experienced the previous era, she vaguely knew the true situation of the holy war from the conversations of the head of the family and others, and was not optimistic about the situation promoted by the church.

"The Kingdom of Budamia is too far away from us, and many things are inconvenient to do, but don't worry, I will help take care of the branch of the McLean family near Hamers City."

The two chatted for a while and then began to have physical contact, and the room was filled with a spring atmosphere.

No words were spoken that night.

The next morning, Crown bid farewell to everyone and set off for St. Peter's Basilica in Bly to meet Pope Arthur first.

Before leaving, he asked Del to urge Rubart to practice the Giant Bear Breathing Technique and adapt to the forging of evil-killing weapons as soon as possible.

Now that I have two blacksmiths who have obtained the Golden Light Dao Seed, I will have a source of weapons for my guard troops.

He calibrated the direction, entered the automatic cruise mode, and operated Silver Dragon Roaring Moon.

This breathing method can increase his combat effectiveness at night, and night is the time when the evil god and his followers are most active, so it is necessary to improve its proficiency to at least reach a similar level as the Breath of the Fire Dragon.

A silver dragon soul appeared beside him. It looked similar to the dragon soul of Breath of Flame Dragon, the only difference was the color of its scales.

The slightly cool life energy, which is obviously different from the breath of the fire dragon, flows quietly in the body. In the flight trajectory, water vapor condenses into fine ice particles that fall down, reflecting dreamy colors under the sunlight.

From a distance, it looks like an ice bird that does not belong to this world has descended to the mortal world, weaving a colorful and beautiful dream.

As he practiced the breathing method, the chill emanating from his body became stronger and stronger, but he did not feel any physical discomfort. Instead, his mind became more active and exceptionally clear.

He had a hunch that when he practiced the Silver Dragon's Roaring Moon breathing method, his life energy contained the power of the Taiyin Law, which greatly enhanced his own willpower resistance and increased his resistance to the pollution law.

When the Breath of the Fire Dragon is activated, the life energy contains the power of the Sun Law, which will automatically ignite the Law of Purification of Pollution.

This means that no matter how he fights, the strange power of the evil god cannot cause much interference to him. Now he is looking forward to how powerful he will be after advancing to the Stigma Gold level, and wonders if he is qualified to compete with the evil god.

Clown could now clearly feel that practicing breathing techniques also required the right time. The best time to practice Silver Dragon Howling Moon was at night. Practicing during the day would feel a little stiff, but he didn't care. The important thing was to improve his breathing techniques as quickly as possible.

The speed of flying magic was faster than the fastest airship. It took only a little more than two days for Crown to enter the territory of Bligh City.

It was early morning, the sun rose from the east, and thousands of golden rays of light dispelled the gray fog that covered the surroundings. The towering dome of St. Peter's Basilica shone with ruby-red light under the sun.

A faint feeling of joy rose in his heart, and he summoned a golden wall, with golden and purple writing in his eyes.

[Golden Light Mantra: 213856/500000; Level 5]

[Breath of Flame Dragon: 46153/240000; Level 2]

[Silver Dragon Roaring Moon: 108394/120000; Level 1]

More and more people are obtaining Tao seeds, and the progress of the Golden Light Mantra is gratifying. However, the progress of the two breathing methods is slow.

During this period, Clown discovered that if he practiced the Flame Dragon's Breath during the day and the Silver Dragon's Howling Moon at night, the chemical reaction between the two breathing methods would exceed the blessing of the Golden Light Spell on both.

When Silver Dragon Howling Moon is promoted to the second level, he will practice in this way.

In the past, my progress in the breathing method was faster than that in the Golden Light Mantra, but now my proficiency in the Golden Light Mantra has increased far more than that in the breathing method. I wonder what kind of changes will occur.

He flew at an extremely fast speed and soon arrived at the edge of Bligh City.

Crown used the Breathing Technique to land at the airship parking lot from the sky, and then found the church's carriage: "To St. Peter's Basilica."

It should have been explained in advance, the driver actually recognized him:

"You are Lord Crown, right? Please come in. His Majesty has ordered that if we see you, please go directly to the Pope's Office."

"knew."

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

After getting on the carriage, Crown was bored and dazed.

Practicing the breathing method made too much noise, and visualizing the special effects of the Golden Light Mantra was too conspicuous. For a moment he didn't know what to do.

With nothing to do, he began to think about the current situation in the world.

There is one known continent and several islands in the world. There are seven existing churches of gods, namely the Church of the Lord of Flame in the Kingdom of Farouk, the Church of the Lord of Storms in the Kingdom of Hinterland, the Church of the God of Knowledge in the Kingdom of Ribia, the Church of the God of Life in the Kingdom of Namiia, the Church of the God of Harvest in the Kingdom of Talon, the Church of the Moon in the Kingdom of Budamia, and the Church of the Sun in the Kingdom of Arathi.

Each church is highly exclusive, and it is impossible for two churches to exist in the same kingdom at the same time, but there are also alliances between gods.

For example, the relationship between the God of Knowledge, the God of Life and the God of Harvest is relatively harmonious, and the relationship between the three churches is relatively close. However, it is rumored that the power of these three gods is the weakest among all gods, so they stick together for warmth.

The Lord of Fire and the Lord of Storms both have hot tempers and are not very popular among the gods. The Moon God and the Sun God are the two strongest gods, and the power of their two churches is also the largest.

Crown could not guess the purpose of the joint meeting led by the Church of the God of Life. Logically speaking, even if such a meeting was held, the presiding church should be the most powerful Church of the Sun God.

He was not interested in the situation of other churches on the mainland. After thinking for a while, he could not figure out the reason, so he just stared blankly.

The wide roads in the prosperous areas of Bligh were all traveled by horse-drawn carriages. Steam locomotives were not popular among the nobles because of their excessive noise.

Time passes slowly with the sound of horse hooves. No matter how long the journey is, there will always be a time to reach the end.

The driver stopped the carriage skillfully, bent down and opened the door:

"Sir, we have arrived at St. Peter's Basilica."

As soon as Crown got off the carriage, he was welcomed into the Vatican by the Pope's attendants.

Arthur came down the steps and went to meet him personally, saying enthusiastically:

"I thought your Excellency would arrive this afternoon. Fortunately, we arranged for staff to wait at the parking lot."

I haven't seen him for a while, why is this guy so enthusiastic? Clown wondered in his heart, but he said gently and humbly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but what if I go through the city gate?"

"Haha, all the captains of the city gate guards have also been notified. Unless you fly directly into the city, it will be easier to be discovered and will not be missed."

Arthur paused and continued:

"You must have traveled a long way and didn't have breakfast. Why don't we have breakfast together?"

"I'm really hungry."

Clown only brought some dry food with him, and he had to sleep in the open air. The reason he didn't take the airship was that he wanted to take this opportunity to practice more flying skills.

It takes time to practice the art of flying. During these days, while enjoying high-speed flight, you can also improve your proficiency in Silver Dragon Roaring Moon. It’s like killing two birds with one stone.

After breakfast, the two returned to the Pope's Hall. After they sat down, Clown asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think of this joint meeting? From what I understand, the Church of the God of Life would never do such a thing."

He couldn't figure out the complicated relationships between the churches, but as the Pope, the other party must know what these secret relationships were.

If he wanted to succeed the throne of Pope after Osman escaped, it would probably take a long time to sort out all these relationships.

“It is imperative to hold a joint meeting to discuss how to jointly resist the evil god. The reason why the God of Life convened the meeting is because they have mastered a certain secret method that can replenish the damaged source of life.

You should have heard that the current batch of popes were all crowned around the time of the red moon. At that time, the spiritual concentration of the world did not support normal means of advancement to the silver rank, and they could only use some kind of magic array combined with secret techniques to achieve a leap in the essence of life.

The price of using the secret technique is to damage the source of life, and there is no way around it.

The lifespans of the popes generally came to an end, because they were not able to obtain more lifespan supplements due to their abnormal advancement to silver level, and their hope of advancing to level five was also cut off.

It should be that as the spiritual concentration in the world increases, the Church of the God of Life can produce some special potions to replenish the source of life.

For the old popes who have held power for many years, the Church of the God of Life can prolong their lives and allow them to make further progress, which is a great favor, so their proposal to hold a meeting will go very smoothly.

But from what I understand, the Church of the God of Life must have reached some kind of agreement with a top church behind the scenes, hoping to gain some kind of benefit through the meeting."

The Pope talked a lot, breaking down the grievances between the various churches. After listening to him, Crown was relieved and began to understand the current complex relationships on the continent.

Arthur took a sip of red wine to moisten his throat, and said softly: "The law of the Sun God includes two aspects: light and heat, and the law of our Lord is also reflected in these two aspects. Therefore, our relationship with the Church of the Sun God is not harmonious, and it is even poor.

In the past, the two churches lived in peace because their spheres of influence were far apart, but it is hard to say if they can get along together.

There may be some friction during this meeting, we must try our best to avoid escalating the situation, if anyone provokes us, please be patient. "

The reason why he gave such instructions specifically was because he knew the true strength of the guy in front of him. It could be said that if there was no magic circle, the other party would definitely beat everyone.

However, showing off their strength at this time would instead arouse the fear of all parties, who might even unite to betray them, which he did not want to see.
