Chapter 415 Oracle
After Purinton recounted the situation when the sacred contract was signed, he said anxiously:
"Since the divine thoughts of the gods can pass through the distant time and space between the spiritual world and the real world, I think the Loen family should have already made contact with the gods."
Greno subconsciously touched the white beard on his chin and fell into deep thought. He agreed with Purinton's words. He did not expect that the sacred contract could get a direct response from the Moon Goddess.
Now the question is, the Lorne family has most likely contacted the Moon Goddess, but the McLean family has not received any news of such important news, which is a bit intriguing.
You know, the Lorne family and the McLean family have been related by marriage for generations, and their blood has been intertwined for nearly ten thousand years. The two families are the most solid allies.
Greno came back to his senses, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and analyzed:
"The matter has not been concluded yet, and everything is still our speculation. However, what you said makes sense. Tomorrow you can find an excuse to see if you can meet with the Saint and find out what she has to say.
If the Luo En family has already contacted the Moon God, why is it not announcing such important news to the public? "
Despite his doubts, he still did not say anything definite. The alliance between the two families must not be cracked.
No matter what the truth is, he must maintain this alliance. The evil god is getting closer and closer, and only by uniting together can they survive better.
He paused and continued:
"Don't be impatient. Try to act naturally. Don't let them get suspicious. That won't be conducive to unity."
Purinton nodded slightly and said, “I understand. After I advanced to the fifth level, I have never visited the temple. This time I came here under the pretext of seeking guidance.
It's just that Eunice has changed a lot since she became a saint, and our conversations are no longer as frank as they were when we were children, so I may not be able to find out any information."
"Haha," Greninho chuckled and shook his head.
“Eunice was indeed naive when she was little, but since she was chosen as a saint, she must be trained to be a suitable successor.
A simple person cannot hold the position of Pope. She will succeed Nivea as Pope in the near future, so she must be deep and meticulous.
Otherwise, in such a crisis-ridden age, many people would be concerned about a simple person becoming the head of a church.
For example, me."
Plimpton was startled and said:
"Her Majesty Nivea has just been promoted to the fifth-level extraordinary person for a year. She should still have plenty of time to live. Why doesn't she continue to serve as the Pope? Has something happened?"
“After all, the Pope has to spend time and energy on church affairs. In order to take another step on the path of becoming a transcendent, Your Majesty must give up the position of Pope and focus on improving yourself.
The church needs to have higher-level combat power to have enough deterrence. As you know, at the continental church alliance meeting, His Majesty Andre of the Church of the Lord of Storms recounted the encounter between the Stormspire and the evil god's followers.
It can actually rely on itself to move the celestial phenomena. That follower must be at the sixth level. Humanity’s combat power is still very weak.
Having said that, it is a good thing that there is an exception like Clown among humans.
With him here, at least the northern region of the Farouk Kingdom is very stable. The castle of the family branch is very close to his castle and can be protected, which is good."
Greninho coughed, cleared his throat, and continued:
"Let's put this topic aside for now and talk about the specific contents of the agreement. I want to see how far you are from being a qualified family head."
After hearing such straightforward words, Purinton felt a little embarrassed. Although he had always been trained as the heir to the family head, the family head had never personally admitted it.
In that case, it means that he is only the most likely candidate and things are not set in stone yet.
Now that the patriarch has said this, his position as the heir to the patriarch has finally been confirmed.
He took out the information he had collected in Moya Castle from his space ring and recounted his experiences in an orderly manner.
On the second day, Purinton got up early, washed up, had breakfast, and then took a carriage to the Moon Temple. Dehar Manor was only twenty kilometers away from the temple in the royal city.
The carriage was pulled by four one-horned horses with pure white coats without a trace of other colors. These horses were raised by the Golden Family of the Kingdom of Potamia using secret methods and could not be bought by the outside world.
The families that can own unicorns are all deeply trusted and valued by the Loen family.
With the brisk sound of horse hooves and the clear and melodious sound of bells, they arrived at the Temple Square in less than an hour.
The temple guards saw the carriage with the McLean family crest painted on it and immediately came forward to greet it.
Purinton got off the carriage, nodded kindly to the guards, and then walked towards the temple gate.
A member of the McLean family, a fifth-order transcendent, a leader of the younger generation in the Kingdom of Budamia, he holds many titles and enjoys the privileges that come with his status.
Generally speaking, an appointment must be made in advance to meet the saint or the Pope, and the meeting must go through an examination. If the matter is not urgent or important, there will be no opportunity for an interview.
But it was not the case with Plimpton. Half an hour later he met Saint Eunice Lorne in the small garden.
The saint's skin was as white as snow, her hair was also silver, and in the center of her necklace was a sky blue Azer gem.
She was wearing a moon-white robe dotted with gold threads, and the wide robe could not hide her proud figure.
Taking a half step forward, Purinton half-knelt at the other's feet, put his hand on his chest, and said, "Your Highness, may the light of the Moon God illuminate you forever."
The saint laughed like a silver bell and said, “May the moon god guide your path, brother Purinton, you are more polite than before.
By the way, congratulations on your advancement to the fifth-order extraordinary person. The McLean family has a successor, and the church's strength has also grown."
"Thank you for your blessing. Things are different now. You are now Her Majesty the Saint. The etiquette cannot be abolished."
A strange emotion flashed in Yunika's eyes, and then she turned her head and said, "Walk with me."
Ever since she became a saint, she has become somewhat distant from her former friends.
Nivea taught that if she wanted to become the Pope of the Church of the Moon, she must possess sufficient dignity. Her current close relationship with her friends, without any hierarchy, would not be conducive to her becoming the successor Pope.
The other party came so early today, there must be something going on.
The two walked on the path in the garden paved with white moonstones, with the guards and maids following far behind.
Purinton smiled and said, "It has been a while since I advanced to the fifth level. Today I came here to seek some guidance and ask how I can quickly accumulate my life essence.
The footsteps of the evil god are getting closer and closer, and we must grow faster than the evil god's minions, so that when the gods come, we can better share the worries of the Moon God."
"I will answer this question for you later." Yunika's eyes were filled with abyss. She turned her head and asked softly:
"It's been a while since you advanced to the fifth-level extraordinary person. What have you been busy with these days?"
"As for me, I have been staying in the family to consolidate its strength, but a few days ago I was sent to the Farouk Kingdom for a few days to handle some family affairs."
Yunica recalled for a while and nodded: "I almost forgot that you have formed a marriage in the Farouk Kingdom. The other party is the first fifth-level extraordinary person in the entire continent, and it is said that he is from a commoner family.
You are well-informed. When we got the information from each other, Sister Eliza had already held her engagement ceremony."
At that time, several major families in the Kingdom of Budamia were surprised at the speed of the McLean family. Although the man did not marry into the family, having a fifth-level relative was still a considerable help.
What's more, the man is the first human being to achieve the fifth-level transcendent, which is of extraordinary significance.
The Loen family was also interested at the time, but before they could make an effective response, news came that the other party was engaged.
Now that the dust has settled, other families will not interfere and harm the relationship between families. This is also an established rule.
"The person you mentioned has now advanced to the sixth level, and has reached the limit of human beings. I wonder how many big families will regret not reacting quickly enough after hearing this news."
Plimpton was silent for a moment, then said:
"This is Eliza's luck. The man has no family power, so she was the real mistress.
If she gives birth to Clown's child, she will truly secure her position as the matriarch of the family."
At this point, a trace of worry flashed through his mind. Eliza had been married for a year, and there was no sign of pregnancy, which made people anxious.
Now that Clown has obtained the secret method to advance to the Golden Stigmata, if he wants to follow the example of his family ancestors, Eliza's position may be unstable.
“The Farouk Kingdom is too far away from us. If it weren’t for the airships and steel ships that emerged from the Ribia Kingdom, it would take a long time to cross this distance.
Even now, taking an airship requires several days of non-stop flight.
It is difficult to borrow the power of Clown. "
A smile appeared on Purinton's lips. He coughed, suppressed his joy, and said:
“Overall, the family is very satisfied with the investment.”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Satisfied? Of course I am satisfied. The corners of Eunice's mouth curled up slightly. She knew that the McLean family had established a branch in the Farouk Kingdom. Although the man had a smooth journey on the path of becoming a superhuman, he was alone after all.
If the man cannot maintain his strength for a long time, he will inevitably be assimilated into the McLean family lineage. It can only be said that they have made a good calculation.
She did not continue the topic and said:
“You just mentioned how to quickly improve the essence of life, which is not easy to do.
We all know that the source of life grows stronger with the progress of meditation and breathing methods, or by taking special potions. However, these potions are rare and expensive, and occasionally some of them flow into the market, and are also sold at sky-high prices.
You can apply to enter the Moon Well, where you can practice breathing techniques to improve quickly. I remember that your family still has a quota within the next three years."
The Moon Well is not a "well" but the name of a magic circle. It can condense the power of the moon's law and nourish the soul, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly improving the source of life.
"I let this opportunity go to someone else. I just advanced to the fifth level and have been in the Moon Well for half a month. My improvement is limited. It is better to give the opportunity to someone in the family who needs it more."
Purinton felt a strange feeling in his heart. The effect of the Moon Soul Aura Array was similar to that of the Moon Well.
He had entered the Moon Well a few years ago. The power of the laws there was indeed more powerful than the Moon Soul Aura Array, but since then he could enjoy the Moon Soul Aura Array every day, while the Moon Well was always a situation where there were more wolves than meat.
The most important point is that visualizing the Golden Light Mantra can directly increase the source of life without the need to use magic arrays to "save the country in a roundabout way."
He sighed and continued:
"I don't know when the Moon Goddess will come. She must have a way to quickly improve the essence of life."
Unica smiled but said nothing.
The two chatted for a while, and then a maid came over and said:
"Your Highness, you need to go to the Blessing Hall now. His Holiness the Pope will arrive there in twenty minutes."
Purinton said hurriedly: “Your Highness, go and get busy.
It seems that I can't quickly improve my life essence, so I'd better go back and improve it slowly and honestly."
Yunica said "Hmm" and replied, "Okay, you can come here more often in the future. We are all fifth-level transcendents, so we can communicate more. I am free between 5 and 6 in the evening."
"must."
The saint left the flowers and came to the blessing hall.
After a while, Pope Nivea also came here, and Unica hurried forward to salute.
The Pope waved his hand kindly and said with a smile, "Stand up."
She paused and asked casually:
"I heard that Plimpton came to see you. What's the matter?"
Eunice was not surprised at all, as nothing in the temple could be hidden from the Pope's eyes and ears.
She recounted the conversation verbatim and waited for further instructions from the Pope.
Although she and the Pope are related by blood, there is a several-generation gap between them, and the two cannot be considered close.
Nivea did not comment, but asked: "What do you think?"
Eunice knew that the Pope was testing her, so she calmly analyzed:
"As our identities changed, Plimpton and I were no longer innocent childhood playmates, and we each had our own positions.
Although many methods of improving the essence of life are secret, the McLean family should know most of them and there is no need to ask me.
I think there are several possibilities for him doing this.
First, this was a private act of Plimpton himself, and he was trying to get some help from me to speed up his progress;
Second, the McLean family wanted to send me some kind of signal through him, but the contact time was too short and I didn’t know the details yet; third, Plimpton wanted to get some information from me, and he had the family’s permission.”
Looking at the saint who was talking eloquently, Nivea nodded with satisfaction. The other party could already think about the problem from the perspective of a superior.
"So, what do you think is the possibility?"
Yunica stroked her silver hair and replied after a moment of thought:
"Plinton is the first in line to be the heir to the McLean family, so his actions are all approved by the family. Contacting me privately to get help is not what a qualified heir to the family should do.
The first possibility is very low, but it cannot be ruled out. After all, people are selfish. I think this possibility accounts for only 20% at most.
With the evil god approaching, it is normal for the McLean family to want to be more closely connected with us. I think the second possibility accounts for 45%.
Now many families are trying to figure out where the temple's next strategic move will be. They want to use the power of the church to protect their own resources and property. This may account for 35%. "
After saying this, she looked at the Pope with some trepidation.
“I think the third possibility is more likely, because I received an oracle from the Moon Goddess a few days ago that the kingdom of the gods is already close to the material plane.
The McLean family exchanged a sacred contract from the temple the afternoon before I received the oracle.
If a sacred contract is signed, the gods will sense it immediately and inform both parties that the contract is established. "
"Ah? Oracle?!"
Eunice was ecstatic. The gods were about to come. This was great news.
