Chapter 447 Heart of Flame
Half an hour later, Nowell strode out of the Pope's Palace with his head held high, his face filled with pride and glory.
Is there anything more joyful than hearing the gods you believe in? Moreover, the gods are the ancestors of the Saxon family, and his body also flows with the blood of the gods.
He trotted back underground, and his assistant Karma came up to him: "Viscount, have you confirmed the source of the blueprint?"
Nowell was a court viscount, as his subordinates called him, and he enjoyed the title.
His dream was to obtain a fiefdom one day and become a real noble.
The wave of industrialization that swept from the Kingdom of Ribia had a huge impact on the original aristocratic manor economy, but those nobles who changed their mindsets in time transformed themselves into large factory owners, and the speed of wealth accumulation increased greatly, which made him envious.
Nowell coughed softly and said:
"Bishop Lexis and I met with His Holiness the Pope, and he told me the source of the magic circle blueprint.
Now, tell the guys to finish the final work, I can't wait to activate the magic circle."
"As you wish," Karma agreed, and then said:
"Sir, we all see that there is a high possibility of some unpredictable impact between the two magic circles. What made you dispel this concern?"
He has been working as the other party's assistant for more than ten years. With his abilities, he could have been able to stand on his own long ago.
Over the years, he has diligently studied magic arrays and practiced them continuously. It can be said that his attainments in magic arrays have surpassed that of the Viscount.
Because when the magic circle was being built, the Viscount only spent most of his time grasping the general direction, and he was the one who was responsible for the on-site implementation.
The Viscount judged that the two magic arrays might affect each other, but his judgment was that as long as the two magic arrays were in the open state, they would inevitably affect each other.
The protection array involves the safety of the entire city of Bray. His family and friends all live in this city, and he wants to personally judge whether the news is reliable.
"You still want to ask why?" Nowell smiled kindly and waved his hand, "I can't tell you. I just swore an oath in front of His Holiness the Pope that I would never leak any information.
I can only tell you responsibly that you should do it with confidence, and there will be no accidents. "
"Really? So it involves secrets."
Karma's frown relaxed. Based on his understanding of the Viscount, he knew that the other party must be striving for perfection in technology. Since the other party said there was no problem, he must be fully confident.
"Okay, I will inform everyone now to complete the final steps."
The Pope's Palace.
Lexis looked at Nowell trotting out and smiled bitterly:
"This guy is still the same. He hasn't changed in decades. I dare say that if your explanation just now doesn't satisfy him, he will definitely quit."
Arthur laughed:
"Yes. I am half a year older than him. We often played together when we were young, and I have long been accustomed to his temper.
Let's take a break and go to the main control room of the protection array later. I want to see how much impact it will have when I activate the Heart of Flame."
"Okay, today the magic circle is completed, we should have a drink to celebrate."
"Are you after my treasured wine?!"
"Haha, the moonlight wine produced by Moya Castle is much better than that supplied by the Church of the Moon God. I am very envious."
Rhinesis laughed and expressed his thoughts without any reservation.
The production of moonshine at Moya Castle was scarce, and the royal family only received a dozen bottles as gifts. He was given a bottle, which he drank up that same day.
"You can only drink one bottle today," Arthur turned and walked to the wine storage room next door and took out a bottle of moonshine.
The two drank for a while, and the bottle of wine was almost empty. Arthur stood up and said:
"Let's go to the control room.
The pollution of the gray fog is getting stronger and stronger. From now on, the main control room will arrange reliable royal family members to be on duty 24 hours a day. You are responsible for this matter. Make a duty roster and submit it to me. "
Lexis nodded slightly and agreed:
"Okay, in a hurry?"
"It's important but not urgent. Just get it to me before the end of this month. You still have 20 days to consider the candidate and carefully investigate the other party's recent situation."
As the two were talking, they soon entered the main control room of the magic circle.
Lexis took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then said, "Nowell, please ensure that you activate the magic circle on time at 12:15. There are still ten minutes left."
Arthur lazily sat down on the chair and nodded slightly. "Then wait. After this is over, control the freedom of all craftsmen within three months and strictly prohibit any of them from leaving the city of Bray."
"Don't worry, I'll do the work. These have already been arranged."
Ten minutes passed quickly, and Arthur sat up straight, staring at the scale of the energy display on the console.
It is now midnight and the area outside the city is filled with gray fog. In theory, once the Heart of Flame is activated, it will be able to quickly provide energy for the protective array.
Lexis stood behind him and said excitedly:
“The magic array bestowed by the gods can transform the gray fog into energy for the protective magic array, and the Moon Soul Aura Array provided by Moya Castle can absorb the power of moonlight.
If we build a few Moon Soul Spirit Light Arrays in St. Peter's Cathedral, then the defense of St. Peter's Cathedral should be stronger than the Cathedral of Light in the Kingdom of Arathi, right? "
“It’s hard to say. We can’t be sure whether the Church of the Sun God has obtained a magic array similar to the Heart of Flame.
If they don’t, I think you’re fine.”
The two stopped talking and subconsciously held their breath. It was about to be the moment to witness a miracle.
"It works," Lexis shouted excitedly. He saw the scale bar on the device jumped upwards. The protective array was in the activated state and the energy scale would only decrease.
"Very good. Look at the surveillance footage outside the city. The gray fog at the edge of the Blazing Heart Array has been swallowed up, and a steady stream of gray fog is replenishing it."
At this moment, Nowell stood at the center of the Flame Heart formation, looking up at the red energy flow that appeared out of thin air above his head, and swallowed hard.
He had anticipated the current situation, but he did not expect that the two magic circles would be connected immediately after the Heart of Flame was activated.
The energy flow punched a smoothly cut hole in the stone slab they built in the passage, and extended upward, bound to intersect with the energy circuit of the protective formation.
"Viscount, this does not conform to the basic principles of magic array!"
Karma shouted. This broke his three views. Energy fluctuations would be entangled, but how could the energy flow itself escape the constraints of the array while the array was not affected at all? He felt that his knowledge system was hit by an unprecedented impact, and muttered to himself:
"Why is this happening? What's the principle?"
Nowell was the first to recover from his shock, and exclaimed in his heart: "It is worthy of being a magic circle bestowed by the gods!"
He patted his assistant on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's put this matter aside and don't try to figure out the Flame Heart Array with the knowledge you have.
You just need to know that the magic array we are learning is not the only system, there is a wider range of knowledge waiting for us to learn."
Iberia Mountains, the secret base of the Church of the Lord of Storms.
Andre walked out of the secret room with a dejected look on his face, with a thousand alpacas running wildly through his mind.
He had just communicated with the gods, and the Lord of Storms gave him an order, informing him to build a magic circle called Heart of Storm.
The deadline given by the gods was very short. He had to complete it before the next red moon night. He only had seventeen days.
The magic circle can absorb energy from the gray fog and charge the protection magic circle of the Storm Spire, thus solving the problem of rapid consumption of energy reserves.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This is a good thing, but only if Stormspire is still in the hands of the Church!
Because he was unwilling to waste the church's manpower on serving as a shield for other countries on the continent, the Kingdom of Sintland has fallen, and several major dioceses have relocated their populations to several secret bases in the mountains.
The god gave such an order, and he had no idea how to respond, so he could only agree to it temporarily.
If the Stormspire was still in the hands of the church, even if time was tight, it would still be in time to gather the church's craftsmen to build the magic circle. But the current situation has left him in a dilemma.
"What should we do? The magic circle will definitely not be completed."
Andre sat down exhaustedly. He felt that his career as Pope had come to an end.
Unlike other churches, the former Golden Family of the Church of the Lord of Storms lost its inheritance, and the Pope began to elect from among several different families with divine blood.
It's called an election, but it's almost a rotation.
After the previous Pope passed away, it was the turn of a member of the Williams family to serve as Pope. He was the most powerful transcendent in the Williams family, so he succeeded as Pope.
Andre, who was in a state of confusion, covered his eyes. Things were getting difficult. Not only him, but the entire Williams family would be punished by the gods.
The city of Bilvia has now fallen into ruins, the Stormspire has become a broken wall, and the protective magic circle must have suffered devastating damage.
Even if we take back the old place, there won't be enough time to build two magic arrays at the same time.
After much thought, Andre couldn't think of any way to solve the current dilemma.
If he fails to complete the task, he will be unable to bear the wrath of the gods, but running away is not realistic. He can just leave, but what about his family? His family has provided him with a huge amount of resources and connections to achieve what he has today. If someone must be the punching bag of the gods, then let him be the one.
Struggling to sit up from the chair, he pressed his hands on the armrests and barely stood up. He staggered out of the room and said to the attendant guarding the door, "You two, notify all the elders of the Williams family to put down their affairs and come to me immediately."
"Yes, sir," the attendants bowed and responded, then quickly walked away.
Andre leaned against the door frame and sighed. All he could do now was to buy some time for his family and himself, and to come up with a way to reduce the wrath of the gods.
He didn't know whether the gods would skin him alive if they knew he had lost the church's lair so easily.
However, all the archbishops participated in the resolution at that time. Although he was the decision maker and initiator, all those who voted in favor should bear some joint responsibility.
By dragging more people into the water, he could reduce his own responsibility. Although this was not very decent, he had no time to care.
He was about to turn around and go back to the room when he caught a glimpse of someone jogging towards him. He looked closely and saw that it was the leader of the animal trainers in charge of external liaison.
The commander quickly ran over, bent over and handed over an envelope with both hands: "Your Majesty, I just received a top-level confidential letter. Please take a look."
Your Majesty? I wonder how you will look at me in half a month!
Andre took the envelope with a dull look on his face and waved his hand gently: "Okay, you can go down."
After saying that, he turned and went back into the house, closing the door.
The leader of the beast tamers was a little dazed. The Pope's state was completely different from his usual high spirits. He didn't know what was worrying him.
He shook his head helplessly and left quickly. It was obvious that the Pope was in a bad mood and was very depressed. If he stayed here, he might become the punching bag. He decided that if there was no very important letter today, he would not come to report to the Pope and would wait until the next day.
Andre returned to the house, looked at the envelope carefully, and found a very tiny circular mark. He realized that it was sent by Heiso.
He opened the wax-sealed letter and looked at it absentmindedly. He quickly finished reading the letter and his originally depressed mood immediately perked up.
The new magic circle can purify pollution and dispel the gray fog. The bright night sky can be seen within a radius of more than ten kilometers of Moya Castle. It can coexist with the protection magic circle. The words in the letter touched Andre. If Blacksoe's information is true, it will be a good bargaining chip, and maybe it can restore some gods' impression of him.
He immediately picked up a pen and paper and wrote down his request:
"Hei Suo, ask Lord Klauen for me if he wants to sell the blueprints of the magic circle. If he does, I will get the blueprints no matter what the price! If he doesn't, discuss with him the possibility of building the magic circle in the Kingdom of Hinterland."
I will give you the maximum authority this time. You don't have to help the church save resources! I can approve thirty high-quality Runestorm diamonds and one hundred medium-quality ones.
As long as there is a slight chance of success, you should try your best to do it.
If you can get this done, you will be rewarded handsomely! In addition, this matter is extremely urgent. No matter what, I need your feedback within 15 days. Remember, remember!'
Since he didn't know how long he would stay in the position of Pope, Andre was surprisingly generous this time.
If you don't use the rights you have now, they will become invalid after the expiration date.
If he used the resources at hand to complete the transaction of the Moon Soul Spirit Light Array, in the eyes of the gods, it might offset the "fault" of abandoning the Storm Spire.
After writing the letter, putting it in an envelope and sealing it with wax, he walked out of the room.
Since his attendants were not around, he had to find the leader of the beast tamers himself and send the letter immediately.
Every minute is important to him now. What he has to do is to race against time and get as many chips as possible before the next red moon comes to reduce the punishment of the gods on him.
Great Lord of the Storm, please have mercy on me, your humble servant!
