Chapter 398 Winter Spring Fire Wine
The setting sun was blood-red, and the white snow on the ground was also covered with red makeup.
The cold wind blew up the fine snow particles, weaving a bloody dream under the sunshine.
Crown was hovering in the sky with the Ashbringer in his hand. He looked around and found that there was no living person within a radius of ten kilometers.
The cultists killed by the Ashbringer left behind only a pool of black ash, which had long since been blown away by the wind.
At this time, the silver that the Ashbringer used to store the fire dragon's soul had turned into a bright bronze color, emitting a blazing spiritual light.
The silver disc flickered in and out regularly, like a person's breathing.
Seeing that there were no more enemies, Crown flew back to the town, landed in the chapel from the air, and then summoned a golden wall.
[Blade Storm: 4256/5000; Level 2]
[Wind Slash: 1704/8000; Level 3]
The battle ended quickly. These cultists were weak and could not resist being beaten. Fortunately, the levels of these two skills were relatively low, and their proficiency increased a lot.
In fact, he could increase his proficiency in these skills quickly by practicing them alone, but he still felt that the killing skills would be more effective if some blood was seen during practice.
After closing the golden wall, Clown glanced at the courtyard filled with various trees and shook his head slightly.
Humans have withdrawn from this ecosystem, which has been taken over by plants.
If there were no houses, this place would be no different from a small woods in the wild. What’s even more amazing is that a cedar tree is sticking its head out of the window of the church’s side hall, and no one knows how it took root here.
Klauen walked in the town, constantly releasing time reversal to determine the time when the enemy arrived here.
It was roughly estimated that at least a day had passed since the enemy passed through Butchi Town, and he didn't have much time left.
The time of this area flowed backwards in his mind, and all the information within a three-meter radius was spied on.
He had marveled at the magic of this skill countless times. It could actually trace back the traces of time. The time hourglass should still have enormous potential to be tapped.
However, the improvement of this spirit control was not fast through use, and he had not found a better way to improve it quickly.
Crown felt that he must have reached a bottleneck, otherwise the time hourglass would not have been advanced for so long. You know, he maintained the 5% bullet time acceleration mode almost all day long, which lasted for more than half a year.
Because he possessed the spirit of the time hourglass and the seventh sense provided by the Golden Light Spell, Clown could accurately grasp the passage of every millisecond of time. He quickly found what he wanted from the "image".
The large group of cultists arrived in Butchi in the early hours of yesterday morning, and after a day of rest, they raided Rhine City. It was only two hours before they could not be found even if time was turned back.
Clown sighed lightly. He had too little time and could only detect a short section of the enemy's route.
He spread his wings and flew into the mountains and forests along a route he thought was suitable for the army's march. He wanted to seize the last bit of time and try to find the location where the enemy came out of the Andes Mountains.
The sun's rays began to weaken, the setting sun reflected on the snow, and the clouds in the sky changed from a furnace-like look to a gray hue, finally merging with the gray fog.
Crown stopped his search at a mountain pass. Time was no longer on his side.
He had completely lost the clue, and this was the last place he could explore.
"That's it. It's not like we've gained nothing."
After whispering to himself, the rose-gold wings behind Crown slowly opened and then flapped gracefully.
With him as the center, a gray fog vacuum with a radius of thirty meters was formed.
He released the Breath of Fire Dragon, and the fiery life energy circulated at high speed in his body. The radius of the gray fog vacuum increased to more than sixty meters, and the field of vision also improved a lot.
Crown's eyes could see through the gray fog, so flying at night was not difficult for him.
After calibrating the direction, he flew towards Rhine City.
During the journey, he first contacted Flanders' Golden Light Dao Seed: "The clue is interrupted. I will return to the Holy Fire Cathedral in about half an hour."
'Okay, dinner is ready, let's have a few drinks and have a good chat.'
After ending the call with Flanders, he contacted Eliza again and briefly told her about the current situation in Rhine City, asking her not to worry.
"Tomorrow morning, the church's airship will arrive at Moya Castle. You will arrange for eighteen small cold jade pillars to be sent to the airship. A part of the Moon Soul Spirit Light Array here has been destroyed and needs to be rebuilt."
"No problem, I'll make the arrangements. Is the array seriously damaged? Is it difficult to repair?"
'In my opinion, the damage is not serious, and the difficulty of repairing it is almost not difficult.
I just need to clean up the destroyed part and replace it with a new base.'
Crown felt that repairing the magic circle was as easy as changing a light bulb in his previous life, and there was no technical difficulty at all.
'That's good. When will you be back?'
"If everything goes well, she will be back at noon in two days. Also, inform Fujin to come to the Holy Fire Cathedral. We need her to perform a single mission. Send her now."
'I'll do it right away.'
The two men finished their conversation, and Clown concentrated on his journey. A golden streak of light was left in the gray fog, which lasted for a long time.
He returned to the Holy Fire Cathedral, enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, and then followed Flanders to his study.
The archbishop took out two bottles of emerald green wine and said with a smile, "This wine is called Winter Spring Fire Wine, a specialty of our kingdom. Different from other wines, this wine is brewed in the cold winter.
Only the Winterspring Valley in the north of Bolga can brew the most authentic firewine, so it is called Winterspring Firewine. "
'Hua La La'
When the wine was poured out, Crown immediately smelled a strong aroma rushing into his nose. Although the smell was strong, it did not make people feel uncomfortable. He also smelled that the wine was made with two kinds of herbs: mountain sage grass and golden ginseng.
Flanders filled two glasses with wine and handed one over: "Try it. I guarantee you've never had such a strong and refreshing drink! Remember, drink it in big gulps.
For low-level transcendents, drinking Winter Spring Fire Wine can increase their strength for a certain period of time."
Crown took the wine glass, raised his hand, and observed the color of the wine under the light.
The crystal clear green is like the reflection of the emerald trees on the bank in the clear water flowing with the wind, or like an emerald without any impurities. The beauty makes people subconsciously hold their breath.
He brought the wine glass to his lips, raised his neck, and took a big gulp.
The cool and refreshing taste occupies all the taste buds, and you can even feel this freshness flowing through the esophagus and finally entering the stomach.
Then, a warm current spread to all parts of his body, and all the pores on his body were opened. Clown shook the wine glass and raised his eyebrows.
"It's really good wine. Why haven't I seen you serve it to me before?!"
The other party had never invited him to taste such good wine before.
"You are wronging me," Flanders said with a bitter smile, "Winterspring is located in Oakland Province, and the bishop there used to be a direct descendant of Osman.
The production of Winter Spring Fire Wine is scarce, and all of it is supplied to the Holy See and Ottoman bishops. There is no place for us.
Now that is Archbishop Leo's territory, and we were just allocated some of it, which was just delivered this evening.
I have packed your portion. The treatment for sixth-level transcendents is different. Leo gave you exactly twice as much as I did.
Oh, you don’t know that you have advanced to the sixth level. This is the treatment for the fifth level.”
There was envy in his eyes. If a person is strong enough, he can get a lot of benefits even if he does nothing.
"Haha, I'll accept it. Please give my regards to Archbishop Leo."
Crown laughed, took two more sips of wine, and slowly recounted what happened when he went to Butcher Town:
"When I arrived near the town of Butchi, I saw more than 200 pagans gathered together. After I killed all the enemies, I continued to track them into the mountains, and the clues disappeared at a pass on a ridge."
The archbishop listened carefully, sometimes sitting relaxed, sometimes leaning forward with a frown on his face: "Do you think we need to send a garrison to Butcher Town?"
"It doesn't make much sense," Klauen shook his head and continued, "The purpose of the garrison is to stop the enemy. If the cultists gather the strength to attack Rhine City last night, these garrisons will be fat meat delivered to the enemy.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In my opinion, it is better to follow your original plan.
Set up a post in Buchi, and monitor the area from the pass on the ridge to the town of Buchi."
It is unrealistic to expect the garrison to stop the enemy, but it would be great if it could play the role of transmitting intelligence.
“I always feel uneasy. The barbarian tribes can actually accumulate such a strong force to attack Rhine City. It’s really worrying.
After thinking about it carefully today, I realized that I cannot look at the speed at which the enemy's high-level extraordinary people are born with empiricism.
I'm worried that the evil god they believe in has special powers that can create even more powerful and evil creatures."
Flanders sighed. They had never directly felt the power of the gods, and did not know how strong the power of the laws of the evil gods was. Therefore, they had no way of judging how much war potential the enemy had left, nor did they know how to best prepare for the next response.
Crown was silent for a moment and said:
"There's no point in worrying. All we can do is build a better reconnaissance network to detect any signs of the enemy as early as possible."
He had never personally experienced the power of the evil god's laws, and had no understanding of the enemies he would inevitably face in the future, nor did he have any valuable opinions.
All they can do is passively defend.
Perhaps when he breaks through to the Golden Level of the Holy Mark, he will choose to take the initiative to attack and look for the minions of the evil god deep in the Andes Mountains, but now he is more inclined to build a large number of Moon Soul Spirit Light Arrays to form an iron bucket formation.
Only by protecting yourself first can you face the future better and more calmly.
The two discussed in detail the dangers currently facing the Rhine City and exchanged views on many issues.
Flanders' expression was much more relaxed. After talking, he found that although Crown did not actively participate in the teaching affairs, he did seriously think about how to deal with possible conflicts in the future and made a set of feasible solutions instead of just ignoring it.
The archbishop suddenly felt relieved, and the sadness accumulated between his brows was much less:
"According to the feedback from the Lorente Formation guards, the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Formation is very effective. It can dispel the spiritual pollution brought by the evil gods at night and greatly delay the frequency of troop rotation."
"Come here, let me show you something."
The archbishop stood up, walked to the large wooden box next to the cabinet, pried open the lid, and said, "This is the raw ore of cold jade shipped from the Fedia Mine. Take a look at its quality and see if it can be used as the base of the magic circle.
The ore has not been carefully selected and remains in the condition in which it was mined.”
The wooden box was filled with gray stone-skinned ores the size of a human head.
Clown picked up a piece of ore and placed it on the table, and immediately a bronze sword appeared in his hand.
He raised his knife and slashed it, and the ore was evenly cut into two halves. The cut was smooth without a trace of burrs, and it did not cut into the table at all, showing his miraculous control of power.
Inside the ore there is a fist-sized ball of crystal white jade of excellent quality, reaching the standard for making Taiyin Lei Seal.
The only drawback is that it is too small to be cut into a jade talisman for making a thunder seal, but it can be used to make a bright jade pendant.
It would be a waste to crush cold jade of this quality into the base of a magic array.
Flanders took the ore out of the wooden box and placed it on the table with a very service-minded attitude, and Crown cut it open.
After all the ore was cut, the Archbishop looked at Clown eagerly:
“How is the quality? Are you satisfied?”
Klauen hummed, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "The quality of the ore is much better than the cold jade mine in Hamers City. If we send people to mine this ore, how many pounds of cold jade can be provided every day?"
"There are a lot of cold jade ores piled up outside the mine now. According to estimates, several thousand pounds of cold jade can be produced.
Brady reported that such ore is everywhere in the Fidia mine, distributed in the shallow layers of the veins, and is very easy to mine.
If you have a stable and large demand, he can organize people to mine it. What he wants to ask is what price you are willing to pay for the cold jade."
"We will purchase it at the same price as the Hamers mine. The purchase price is protected and we will not lower the price privately."
Radi will also use the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array he created in the future, and when the time comes, Crown will take back the Gold Spirit Coins that the other party earned from him.
The long sword in his hand was put back into the storage space of the Fire Cube, and then a carving knife appeared in his hand, which cut off all the stone skin wrapped around the cold jade: "I only accept cold jade like this. Brady needs to process the material."
“This process doesn’t look difficult, I have no problem with it, it can be done by an ordinary stonemason, and hiring a stonemason is very cheap.
Tomorrow I will notify Brady to start work and first pick up the stones piled outside the mine for processing."
Flanders wanted to promote the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array in Rhine City as soon as possible. Since the parish achieved autonomy, all items in the secret library were open to him, and he was now very wealthy.
He grinned and said, "Crown, you see, the diocese will build a large number of Moon Soul Spirit Light Arrays. At least a dozen will be needed. For such a large order, can the construction cost be reduced?"
Twenty thousand gold spirit coins for one magic circle, and the mere thought of it made his heart hurt. Although he had a lot of wealth at his disposal, he still had to spend it frugally, as he had a long life ahead of him.
Klauen waved his hand generously and said:
"Each magic array costs 15,000 gold spirit coins. This is the highest discount I can offer."
Thinking that he could grab the moonlight from the magic circle in the future, he readily agreed.
"make a deal."
Flanders was very happy as he would save a lot of gold spirit coins.
