Chapter 387: Anthony's Plan

Lantimat Cathedral, Kingdom of Ribia.

Pope Anthony sat at his desk with a happy expression. Recently, many kingdoms had ordered defensive weapons and mines from here, which greatly increased the income of the church.

Now the alchemy workshops under the church are working day and night. With the delivery of products, a steady stream of gold spirit coins flow into the Vatican's treasury.

Knowledge is power. Thinking of the teachings of God, he truly understood the meaning of this sentence in his heart.

Knowledge is not only power, but also fascinating gold spirit coin.

With more Golden Spirit Coins, they can invest in more research projects. The tide of the times is already rolling in.

In the future, the Church of the God of Knowledge will research more powerful war creations to resist the attacks of the evil god's followers.

Church of the Sun God, you have been sitting on the strongest throne for too long. Sooner or later, it will be our turn to sit in that position.

Anthony began to fantasize that with the help of the Church of the God of Life, he had replenished the lost source of life and advanced to the fifth-level transcendent.

He felt that his life would reach a new peak.

“Boom, boom!”

When Anthony was proudly imagining the wonderful future, there was a knock on the door.

Normally he hated being disturbed and would get annoyed whenever he heard knocking on the door, but at this moment he didn't find the sound irritating.

"Come in!" His tone was full of kindness.

The person who came in was Pierre Laurent. After the pollution on his body was purified, his injuries had completely healed and his broken hand had grown back.

"My Archbishop, what good news do you bring me?"

Upon hearing this, Pierre smiled bitterly. "I am sorry to fail your majesty's trust. I have not yet worked out the formulas for the two potions."

When Pisaru brought back the Golden Light Potion from the Kingdom of Farouk to purify the pollution in his body, they noticed this strange potion, as well as the Heart Cleansing Potion that replenished the soul.

Such a powerful potion naturally attracted their great attention. Afterwards, the Church of the God of Knowledge selected the most outstanding pharmacists to analyze the ingredients of the potion and try to experiment to find out its composition.

More than two months passed and still nothing was accomplished. They had not found any of the ingredients for the potion.

Pharmacists all said that this should be a completely new refining technique, or it should be made from completely new potion materials.

Pierre told the pharmacists' inferences and said with shame: "Your Majesty, I am not doing my job well. Please punish me."

He was ashamed after working hard for several months without any results.

"What's wrong with the Archbishop?"

Anthony waved his hand and continued, "Since our pharmacist can't figure it out, let's contact the person who sells the medicine and ask if he is willing to sell the formula.

The people of the Farouk Kingdom are really wasting resources. Such a good medicine must be promoted to the entire continent.

With these potions, we will be more confident in resisting the attacks of the evil god's minions.

The formula is hard to deduce, so it would be much easier to deal with a pharmacist, right?"

The effects of the Golden Light Potion and the Pure Heart Potion were very powerful. Although they were not as good as the same type of secret potions in the church, they were much cheaper and were almost free.

The number of secret potions is limited, and the Vatican's secret vault only stores about a hundred of them, which is too few.

Pierre hesitated and finally shook his head gently:

"That's the difficulty. The pharmacist who created the potion is more difficult to deal with."

"Why, are you worried about the reaction of the Church of the Lord of Fire? Don't worry, we are negotiating cooperation with the pharmacists. If we use our emotions and reason to persuade them, they won't be able to say anything."

"The inventor of the potion is Crown Moya. If we go to negotiate, many of our methods will be useless."

Pierre pointed out the difficulty. Facing the first fifth-order transcendent in the continent, the only one in the church who was qualified to negotiate was the Pope himself.

This is indeed a bit difficult. Anthony frowned, touched his beard, and fell into deep thought.

The use of force is the first method to be eliminated. Although the opponent's martial arts level has not been truly seen, it is beyond doubt that he has already stood at the top of the continent.

Using family members as threats should also be ruled out. This method cannot be tolerated in the open, and the person being targeted is an extremely powerful figure, so there is a high possibility of failure.

Friendly cooperation? How to distribute the benefits of friendly cooperation?

Unequal distribution of benefits will always become the fuse for enmity, and "unequal distribution" is highly subjective and is not desirable.

"There is one more thing I want to report to you," Pierre interrupted the Pope's thoughts and said:

"I learned that the Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce has obtained the right to operate the potion. Every month, they will sell some Golden Light Potions and Pure Heart Potions. The potion will be spread more and more widely."

As time goes by, potions will inevitably gain more attention, and then more churches will notice the magic of potions.

Anthony nodded slightly and said solemnly, "This is a problem. It seems that it is unrealistic to want to reap all the benefits. I will contact the popes of the two churches, the God of Life and the God of Harvest, and come up with a feasible plan."

He paused and continued:

"I will set off early tomorrow morning to visit the two popes. We will unite to put pressure on Crown and force him to make concessions."

We need to act quickly so that we can seize the initiative.

If this medicine is promoted, it will definitely bring huge profits and will also gain more support from believers.

Rhine City, Holy Flame Cathedral.

In the secret room of the sanctuary, Crown was guiding everyone to meditate. Those present included Flanders McLean, Ivan Hall, Leo Duma and Drag Mio, as well as all the cardinals from the four northern provinces of the Kingdom of Farouk.

Crown was like a light source, constantly emitting golden or silver light. Other people also had a hazy glow on their bodies, echoing it from afar.

Time is quiet and years pass slowly.

Six hours have passed in the Hourglass of Time, and it is now late at night.

He stopped his visualization and summoned a wall of gold.

[Golden Light Mantra: 349213/500000; Level 5]

[Breath of Flame Dragon: 63941/240000; Level 2]

[Silver Dragon Roaring Moon: 17629/240000; Level 2]

The Golden Light Mantra was one step closer to advancement, and his heart was filled with satisfaction.

Klauen, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and stood up. He patted his numb legs and said slowly:

"That's all for today, everyone. I'll leave here tomorrow and return to Hammers."

He came to Rhine City this time to help Flanders build the Moon Soul Aura Array. He did not expect that the other party would summon his close archbishops in order to obtain more Sun Fire Liquid and Moon Dew.

Several people felt that their efficiency in obtaining materials through visualization was too slow, so they looked for this opportunity to share the benefits.

After hearing this explanation, Clown had no choice but to let them do what they wanted, because he would get a 1/3 commission from all Dao Seed holders when they were meditating. This was something he discovered when he compared Eliza's data.

Leo sighed and said with some reluctance:

"It is only after I visualize with you that I know the efficiency can be improved to this extent. It is twice as high as when I visualize alone."

"Yes." Others echoed.

"By the way, I have also experienced your magic circle. I wonder when I can build one in my parish."

Ivan swallowed his saliva and said enviously, he felt the effect of the magic circle and was very interested.

Flanders waved his hands hastily:

"I spent a long time seeking for this magic circle. Clown doesn't have many materials, so you will probably have to wait for a while.

Besides, everyone has also felt the effect of the magic circle, and the installation fee cannot be owed, 20,000 gold spirit coins for each set of magic circle."

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

This was an exclusive business, and Crown charged him a friendly price of 10,000 Five Gold Spirit Coins, which he felt was worth the money.

He had served as the Cardinal of Rhine City for many years and had quite a bit of savings, so he readily paid the full amount.

"Money is a small matter. As long as I can get this magic circle, I am willing to spend any amount of gold spirit coins."

Leo smiled and said that the driving method of the magic circle is completely different from that of a normal magic circle. Once activated, it can be opened around the clock. This is one of the reasons why he values ​​it.

In addition, the effect of nourishing the soul will inevitably produce a qualitative change over time, which is very beneficial to the progress of the extraordinary path. The sooner you get it, the sooner you can enjoy this benefit.

Clown smiled and said, "If the materials are sufficient, it is only right to build a set of magic arrays for each location.

After meeting the needs of the territory, it is expected that there will be remaining arrays tomorrow summer, and I will contact you then. "

"It's a deal!"

"It's a deal."

Leo and the others left first, leaving only Clown and Flanders in the sanctuary.

"Thank you for the magic circle."

Clown was referring to the fact that the other party helped him raise the price of the magic array. He could earn an extra 5,000 gold spirit coins for each set of magic array, so it would be a waste not to make money.

"Why are you being polite? They don't lack Golden Spirit Coins. Besides, the money is well spent."

Clown did not continue the topic. He nodded slightly and asked, "Are there any movements from the cultists in the Andes?"

In order to guard against the cultists, the troops in Zak Town were not withdrawn, and an airship team was retained to maintain reconnaissance in the mountains.

“Nothing has been found so far. The mountain is now blocked by heavy snow and the wind is very strong. The airship’s visibility is too poor and too unsafe.

They did not insist on daily reconnaissance. I allowed them to conduct reconnaissance once every three days. If there was an emergency, they would immediately release five carrier pigeons to report back.

Why, are you worried about something going wrong there?"

Clown nodded slightly: "The mountain folks believe in evil gods. Since the enemy once sent out a fifth-level soul-devouring jellyfish, it means that the evil gods they believe in are not weak. You have to know that I had just advanced to the fifth level at that time."

It is obvious that the cult tribe has mastered a way to contact the evil god, otherwise this phenomenon cannot be explained.

Flanders clenched his fist slightly and said:

"The enemy suffered heavy losses last time. If they want to attack us, they need to accumulate strength before they are qualified."

Before the last war, there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and the enemy was the stronger side.

At the end of the war, a large number of the enemy's silver-level extraordinary people were slaughtered, and the enemy's hard power declined seriously, and it was no longer enough to pose a greater threat to the Rhine City Diocese.

"We still have to be careful. The last time Rhine City was attacked by the enemy, it must have been because the enemy sent a small group of elite troops to bypass our surveillance area."

Flanders nodded slightly and responded seriously:

“Speaking of the last war in Rhine City, I think it was mainly caused by the negligence of management in the White Church District. As you know, there are too many people there, and it is difficult for us to conduct a thorough investigation.

I decided to put a lot of effort into cleaning up that area and not let it get dirty, and I'm going to do it this winter."

Now that heavy snow has blocked traffic, most people are staying at home, making the inspection much less difficult.

Crown agreed, "That's a great idea. Come to me if you need any help."

"I was waiting for you to say that," Flanders responded with a smile, then his expression became serious: "The situation in Lorente Town is a little unstable right now. The whispers of the evil god at night are more persuasive, and the troops need to change guards frequently to ensure that they are not completely contaminated.

Especially for low-level troops, the frequency of rotation is higher.

A large part of our energy will be tied up there, and although the frequency of the murloc's attacks has been reduced a lot, they are still particularly ferocious each time.

According to the battle report, the ratio of deep divers and high-level murlocs is increasing. I think it won’t be long before silver-level enemies appear.

At that time, we must send a silver-level extraordinary person to take charge to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Lorente's situation gave him a lot of headaches, but he couldn't find a better way to deal with it. He could only passively defend himself, which made him annoyed but helpless.

Clown frowned. Ever since he advanced to level five, the other party had not arranged for him to be on duty in Lorente Town. He did not expect the situation to deteriorate further.

He thought for a moment and asked, "If I remember correctly, the evil god whispering that Lorente Town is facing comes from Crusoe of R'lyeh City, right? Why don't they attack the Kingdom of Sintland?"

"Yes, although R'lyeh is closer to Hinterland, there are too many murlocs, so it is normal for them to run to Lorente Town."

Flanders paused and continued, "The Pope sent a message yesterday that the mines developed by the Church of the God of Knowledge will be delivered in half a month. They can give us some, but we need to buy them with our own money because the Vatican is in financial difficulties. Do you think it is necessary?"

"Of course it is necessary. We need to place some mines in the direction of Zak Town. But we must make a map of the minefield. In case it is not used, it will also facilitate mine clearance.

In addition, in view of the situation in Lorente Town, I can place a Moon Spirit Light Array, which is very suitable for the situation there."

Crown told his plan that Zach Town needed to guard against the cultists in the Andes Mountains. If the frequency of changing guards was too fast, there would be a big gap in the defense of Lorente Town.

It is imperative to ensure that the troops can hold out for a long time in order to effectively defend against the enemy's attack.

"Do as you say. I will give you the cost of the magic circle from the secret vault. The price is 20,000 gold spirit coins."

The first Moon Soul Aura Array was built in Flanders’ home, so it was sold at a private friendship price. This array was to be built at the parish front, so it was paid for by the parish.

As they talked, they walked out of the sanctuary together.
