Chapter 390 Nothing to worry about
Crown walked out of the study and headed for the animal pen. He heard Arcturus's roar echoing through every corner of the castle.
The Northern Giant Bear was extremely excited at this moment. As a trained beast of the master, it was always "bullied" by the crow and the black cat because it joined relatively late and was relatively weak.
Even though it is much larger than the other two, it is always the one that gets punished, and this situation has never changed.
Now it has finally advanced to become a fourth-level extraordinary creature, and its strength is almost the same as the other two tamed beasts. Maybe it can't get back its position, but it should at least ensure that it will not be bullied, right? !
Everyone in the living room also heard the wild roar, and Meseline discerned the level of the owner of the voice from the spiritual fluctuations of the sound.
She couldn't help but change her expression and said:
"What kind of monster's voice is this? I can tell it has reached the silver level."
Eliza smiled and said:
"This is one of Clown's trained beasts - the Northern Giant Bear. This trained beast has already reached the peak level of the third stage, and today it has finally taken that crucial step."
When Pierre heard that the owner of this place actually raised trained animals, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "How many trained animals does Clown have? Is this bear his strongest trained animal?"
Animal trainers need to have sharp mental powers so that they can better communicate with the animals they train, but people with this talent are usually trained as priests.
This profession has been gradually eliminated in the church, and only the tribes in the mountains train animal trainers.
As far as he knew, Crown was just a Crusader warrior, which meant that he probably did not possess strong mental power.
Eliza's tone was filled with a hint of pride: "He has three tamed beasts in total. The Northern Giant Bear is the last tamed beast to advance to the silver rank."
She felt that if a fight broke out, the three people on the opposite side might not be a match for her husband's animal training.
When these words were spoken, Pierre and the other two showed shock on their faces.
Pierre suppressed the shock in his heart and thought that he should carefully assess the power in the other party's hands.
Putting aside Clown's own fifth-level strength, the other party's wife is at the silver level, and he has three trained beasts that have reached the fourth level. Such a force is not easy to mess with.
He originally thought that the other party was a powerful individual who should bow his head in the face of a large force. Now it seems that his idea was a bit unrealistic.
The scene fell silent for a moment, and Eliza could hear the slightly rapid breathing of others.
She was very satisfied with the reactions of the people opposite her and said with a smile:
"How about you all move to the backyard animal pen and watch the silver-level northern giant bear together?"
Let the people on the opposite side feel the power of the Moya family, and let the people behind these people truly feel their strength hidden under the iceberg.
"It's a silver-level monster. I really need to see it. If I encounter a monster of this level in the wild, it will inevitably be a fierce battle."
Several people left the living room and walked towards the backyard.
At this moment, Crown had already arrived at the animal pen. The giant bear, which was as big as a house, lay down on the ground docilely, opening its mouth wide and sticking out its scarlet tongue as if to please, just like a pug.
After advancing to the next level, Arcturus saw his master and felt his master's power even more deeply.
Crown was surprised to see that the northern giant bear's snow-white fur was emitting a faint golden glow.
This guy has been nourished by the Golden Light Curse for a long time, and may have become reproductively isolated from its original species. I wonder if it has discovered new abilities.
Through the Dao Seed, he asked Big Bear if he had stimulated any new abilities.
Arcturus stood up and nodded excitedly.
It let out a roar, stood up, and then raised its two thick paws and slapped down hard.
A golden wave of spiritual power rushed in all directions, and the scorching sun law immediately burned the animal pen to ashes.
When Eliza and others arrived, they saw the dust flying.
The big bear shrank its neck and lay on the ground again. It knew it had made a mistake.
Crown grinned, this was like a demolition team, but he was still satisfied with the attack of the tamed beast.
The Great Bear's attack is to instantly release the spiritual energy stored in its body. Its spiritual energy is full of fiery explosions, and is even more domineering in terms of destructive power than Fujin's Sun True Fire Breath.
Fortunately, there were no servants nearby, otherwise he would have died on the spot.
Eliza coughed and communicated with her husband using Tao Seed:
"You didn't meet the visiting archbishops. I said you were studying the secret arts and couldn't get away at a critical moment. Now you show up, and it's hard for me to explain."
'I'll take care of it.'
She took a few steps forward and said to the people behind her, "This is Clown."
Clown turned around, nodded slightly to the others, and said, "I felt that the beast taming had advanced to the silver level, so I came out to take a look out of excitement."
Pierre and the others saluted respectfully, and then said with a smile:
"It's great to meet you now. We can discuss ordering medicine."
At this time, Eliza informed her husband of the subsequent remarks made by several people.
Clown nodded imperceptibly. He understood that these people were still determined to do it, and they might even have been assigned tasks by their respective popes.
"Let's go back to the living room and talk things out face to face."
Everyone returned to the living room, and after the host and guest sat down, Clown spoke:
"Regarding your request to purchase medicine, I really can't do anything at the moment.
Although the production of medicines has increased significantly, most of them have been ordered, leaving only a few.
If conditions are right, it will take about half a year before production increases again. There is nothing we can do about it.”
Pierre said, "Sir, as far as we know, a large batch of potions were supplied to the Warlock Brotherhood, and they seem to be using the Golden Light Potion to purify the contamination of the Spirit Tamers, and not to use it in the battle against the minions of the evil god.
The Brotherhood no longer has the glory of the last era. If we want to resist the evil gods, we still have to rely on the Church of God. We are its natural allies.
If we take the greater good into consideration, we can reduce their share.”
Clown curled his lips secretly. The relationship between the Brotherhood and the Church of the Lord of Fire was average, but there were still some frictions between them and the Church of the God of Knowledge.
Besides, the sale of medicine is a business, and he uses the money earned from the medicine to support himself and build his own power.
If the other party adds money to buy it, it's understandable, but how can you get a share by saying that the overall situation is important? ! "Regarding the issue of the sale of medicine, it was the Chamber of Commerce I founded that did it. The reason why we cooperated with the Brotherhood was because we had an agreement a long time ago.
Who would be willing to do business with us if we break the business contract without any reason?"
Messerlin added:
"Sir, due to the special nature of the medicine, this is not just a business, but also a question of control over strategic resources. We sincerely order medicine from you. With a cooperative foundation, our alliance will be more stable, will..."
Crown interrupted her: "Before the potion is sold, the control is in my hands.
I have already said that in a few months we will be able to increase the production of the drug and meet your needs by then."
If the other party politely offered more money, he would be willing to issue a reward to encourage Dao Seed holders to extend their visualization time and obtain more materials.
It is pure nonsense to not mention anything substantial and to talk about high, big and empty things in order to gain preferential treatment.
A trace of shame and embarrassment flashed across Meseline's face, while Giroud, who had not expressed his opinion, said:
“Your Excellency, the three popes all attach great importance to our purchase of medicine this time.
If there can be a satisfactory result, I believe that Your Majesty will remember your friendship.
Your Excellency has already advanced to the fifth level, and with the accumulation of the church, Your Excellency will gain the friendship of our three churches."
Crown picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He didn't answer and seemed to be considering something.
After a few seconds of silence, a faint smile appeared on his face and he asked, "What do you mean by a satisfactory result?"
"Well"
Giroud paused. For some reason, the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.
Pierre looked anxious, he knew that the atmosphere was very delicate.
After thinking about it, he decided to tell Pope Anthony what he meant:
"We want to obtain the right to sell the pharmacy in our respective countries. Your Excellency supplies the church, but within the area governed by the church, only we can operate the pharmacy."
He knew in his heart that if he didn't speak openly, he might not have the chance to talk to the other party again.
Regardless of whether the other party agrees or not, he must express the church's demands.
Eliza sat up straight and said softly:
"What would you be willing to pay for exclusive sales rights?"
This request is not impossible to agree to. As long as the benefits are great enough, it doesn't matter who you sell it to.
“Friendship of the three churches, and the right of first refusal to purchase church products.”
For some reason, Pierre felt that he had always spoken this sentence with righteousness before, but this time he felt a little embarrassed.
"hehe."
Clown laughed twice and lost interest in talking. He waved his hand and said to Eliza, "Entertain the guests well. I'm going to get busy."
He stood up and said, "Personally, your conditions are not attractive at all."
After saying that, he turned away.
The talks failed. Pierre breathed a sigh of relief. He was too embarrassed to stay here any longer and prepared to go back and report to the Pope.
One month later.
The Farouk Kingdom was still snowing and the temperature was a little colder than usual.
In the castle on the outskirts of Hamers, it was green and warm like spring, with flowers blooming in the flower beds and a few bees dancing in circles around the flowers.
In the study, after finishing his meditation, Crown stood up and stretched, then summoned a golden wall.
[Golden Light Mantra: 499999/500000; Level 5]
[Breath of Flame Dragon: 87596/240000; Level 2]
[Silver Dragon Roaring Moon: 36851/240000; Level 2]
My proficiency in the Golden Light Mantra reached its current level a week ago, but there has been no improvement since then.
Based on past experience, this is a normal phenomenon. If you spend some time every day to work hard, you will advance sooner or later.
However, it is not without gain. Now the proportion of the sun's essence and the moon's essence obtained through visualization is much higher than before.
If he was willing to dilute the essence of the sun and the moon to make the golden light potion, the output of the potion would increase significantly.
Through internal observation, Crown discovered that most of the blood in his body had turned silver, with only a small amount showing bright red.
He is almost done with the road to the silver rank.
He didn't know how long it would take for the Golden Light Mantra to advance. He would spend more time practicing the two breathing methods in the future. The visualization method was now regarded as a daily task, which only required four to five hours a day.
Walking out of the study, Crown stood on the top of the castle and overlooked his territory.
The training ground in the backyard of the castle was unusually noisy. With his supply regardless of cost, the strength of these knights increased rapidly, and all the guard members recruited before had advanced to the extraordinary level.
Several people with particularly excellent qualifications were granted Golden Light Dao Seeds by Crown and have already advanced to the second level. Their advancement speed is even faster than that of Del's daughter Janice.
Clown felt that it was because these people had been staying in the Moon Soul Aura Array that they gained more hidden benefits than Janice received in the church.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
According to this situation, he will be able to obtain an elite force composed entirely of third-level transcendents in due time.
Such a luxurious formation, even the Holy See of each church currently only has a small team of about 20 people.
The number of members in Crown's guard reached 500, and he gave the guard a unique name - Silver Dawn.
I hope that one day, these knights will be able to usher in a bright future under his leadership.
The person in charge of training the new warriors on the field is Janice, who has already advanced to the third-level extraordinary person.
Melissa, the former head of the guard, is preparing to advance to silver. Since she learned how to visualize the golden light spell, she has not sold any materials. All the Sunfire Liquid and Moon Dew she obtained were exchanged for potions to enhance herself.
The spirit master Leah had performed a sublimation ritual, but unfortunately it failed. Her life span was severely damaged and it was unknown how long she could live. Klauen vaguely judged that her life fire could burn for another ten years.
The corruption she had suffered in the past was so severe that even visualizing the Golden Light Mantra could not make up for all the losses.
Crown did not assign any more tasks to the other party, he just hoped that he could live the rest of his life in peace.
It seems that the Golden Light Spell is not omnipotent. It only lowers the threshold for everyone to achieve silver level, but that threshold still exists and has not disappeared.
With Leah's experience as a lesson, Del, who had some confidence in trying to advance to silver, became cautious and decided to accumulate for a few more years.
Crown watched the knights training for a while and then walked into the underground training ground.
This is a place that belongs exclusively to him and Eliza, mainly because their breathing method is quite special, and training outside would cause serious interference to others.
There is a magic array here to isolate the breath, so he can practice breathing techniques without restraint without worrying about hurting others.
He activated the Breath of the Fire Dragon at high speed, and the dragon soul emerged. The scales on its body turned red, and also took on an ancient light golden metallic color.
As he practiced, his proficiency in the breathing techniques began to grow rapidly.
Perhaps it was because the visualization of the Golden Light Mantra had completed most of the transformation of the Silver Blood, and the speed of improvement in proficiency was comparable to that when he practiced the low-level breathing method.
The dusk in the sky gradually became heavier. When the last ray of light disappeared, gray fog began to sweep across the earth along with the wind and snow.
A pillar of silver-white light rose from the magic circle in the castle, reaching the sky and dispersing the gray fog that gathered in the sky.
Crown completed a set of cross-training breathing techniques, summoning a wall of gold.
[Breath of Flame Dragon: 89462/240000; Level 2]
[Silver Dragon Roaring Moon: 38684/240000; Level 2]
After just over three hours of training, the proficiency of the two breathing methods increased by about 2,000 points each.
Assuming that Clown performs four sets of training every day, based on this efficiency, it will only take twenty days to reach the advanced level of Breath of the Flame Dragon, without sacrificing visualization time.
Crown blew a whistle. The path for others on the extraordinary path was getting narrower and narrower, but his was getting wider and wider.
He decided to give himself a day off tonight, have a few drinks until he was a little tipsy, and then start practicing dual cultivation.
The future is so bright, it's not too much to indulge yourself in one night, right? !
The Stormspire, Kingdom of the Hinterlands.
In the control room of the sheltering magic circle, there is a young cardinal on duty. As long as a strong enemy appears, the power of the magic circle will be immediately increased to maximum.
Ever since Dagon's failed raid on the city, everyone in the Church of the Storm Lord has been on high alert, fearing another surprise attack, so they began to implement strict combat rules to ensure that there is always someone on duty in the main control room of the protection array.
At this time, an older cardinal walked into the room and said, "Mr. Carls, it will be dawn soon. You should go back and rest. I will be in charge here."
The young bishop nodded slightly, with a hint of fatigue in his expression. He laughed dryly and said:
"Another peaceful day has passed. I don't know when these days of anxiety will end."
The old bishop replied calmly, "Be content. At least we have the protection of the magic circle. According to the records in the classics, the people in the last era lived much worse than us. It was difficult to find a place to rest.
At least we have a stable residence and a magic array that can resist the attacks of sixth-level supernatural creatures.
Without these, the Stormspire would have been razed to the ground the last time Dagon showed up."
He knew that the other person was feeling nervous, and so was he.
Long-term mental stress coupled with high-intensity work has put many people on the brink of mental breakdown.
The real pressure is not that great, it’s just that after witnessing the high-level power confrontation, many people feel that the balance of victory is not on their side.
A wave of despair began to grow in the city, and many people, unable to bear the invisible pressure, chose to numb themselves.
A new evil god belief spread from the slums and even had the momentum to spread further and further.
Karls scratched his head and said, "Thanks to those new artifacts from the Church of the God of Knowledge, otherwise we would not be able to stop the endless stream of murlocs.
Sir Ailon, what do you think? "
The old archbishop said slowly:
“The church also paid a large amount of gold spirit coins, and a large part of these gold spirit coins were originally energy reserves for the protective magic circle.
We are now consuming the war potential of our church. When one day we cannot produce enough gold spirit coins, I don’t know if we can stop the invasion of the fishmen.”
He sighed in his heart. When the church was on the verge of collapse, he wondered how many clergy would be willing to continue to stand before the Lord of Storms.
He didn't know the answer to this question, nor did he want to know.
Karls's expression began to become depressed. He smiled bitterly and said:
"Is there no hope for us?"
This question is not only asked to the other party, but also to himself.
The evil murlocs and deep divers continued to attack the city's defenses, and a lot of the energy of the protective array was wasted meaninglessly.
"There is still hope," Ailon also realized that his words were a bit pessimistic, and continued:
“The number of extraordinary people in the city has increased a lot. When they pray in the temple of the church, they can gather more power of faith and thus produce more holy water.
Do you know why His Holiness the Pope has not appeared in front of everyone in recent days?"
"What's the reason?"
Ailon's eyes gleamed with hope and he smiled:
"If I'm not mistaken, Your Majesty is preparing to advance to the fifth-level extraordinary person.
Other churches are protected by fifth-order extraordinary people, and now our Pope is also fighting to protect the church.
The spiritual concentration in the world is getting higher and higher, and more and stronger extraordinary people will emerge.
The evil god is about to revive, but the kingdom of gods has also entered the countdown to its descent into the outer world.
The enemy has become stronger, but we will become stronger. Come on, young Kars, you will have a bright future. "
The Andes Mountains, where the Kurud tribe gathers.
In Kusuun's temple, Somla poured a large basin of blood essence onto the gray cocoon.
The blood quickly seeped into the gray cocoon, and no trace could be seen on the outside.
He felt the vigorous vitality emanating from the gray cocoon, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
It will be soon. According to his experience, it won’t be long before the creature inside breaks out of the cocoon.
At this moment, he was standing next to the gray cocoon, feeling terrified. It showed how powerful the creature being nurtured was.
Solo walked into the temple and said softly, "Great Witch Doctor, our connection with the Mind Flayer has been cut off.
According to news received a few days ago, the enemy is deliberately clearing out unstable factors in the city.
The mind flayer possessed the pagan, and for some unknown reason, was discovered by the enemy. "
Somla thought for a moment and asked:
"Did the Mind Flayer send back any news about any changes in the enemy city?"
In his opinion, the Mind Flayer was discovered now, which must be because something new had appeared.
This kind of thing can detect the source of danger hidden in the human brain, otherwise it is not enough to explain why the mind flayer has not been discovered before.
Solo lowered his eyes and replied:
“Yes, the Mind Flayer reported that a silver pillar of light appeared in the city, and the gray fog in the sky was dispersed by the pillar of light, leaving a big hole, through which the starlight outside can be seen.
I think this is a magic circle. It is very common for enemies to have magic circles, so I did not report it to you. "
Somla chuckled and said, "You don't have enough experience yet. You still need my guidance."
In order to curb the rapid momentum of the Lionheart Family, he became very close to Solo. They both had common demands and did not want a very powerful family to emerge in the tribe, which would be detrimental to their control of power.
He paused for a few seconds and continued:
"Don't worry. New followers of the gods will be born soon. In the face of absolute power, the pagans' magic array is just thicker leather. There is no need to worry."
