Chapter 450: The Golden Crow and the Jade Rabbit Separate
Vasek turned around and asked, "What time is it?"
The attendant took out his pocket watch and took a look at it, then replied unnaturally, "Reporting to the Archbishop, it is now 3:15 in the morning."
The airship had already set off for two hours. Even though the flying speed was slightly reduced at night, it was still able to travel several hundred kilometers in such a long time.
According to the agreement, the airship captain will immediately return to report after discovering the situation.
Now that the airship has gone and will never come back, a shadow has cast over his heart, and he thought to himself:
"Could it be that the Archbishop's premonition has come true? But what exactly will they encounter?"
In the distance, red light filled the sky, as if the sky was on fire, covering up the light of the red moon. Vasek felt an inexplicable cold air spreading here.
His brows knitted tightly, and his hands clenched subconsciously:
"How many airships are there in our parking lot?"
"There are four more, but one of them is under maintenance, so only three can be deployed."
Vasek pondered for a moment and slowly said:
"Notify everyone to double the number of night duty personnel.
When the sun rises tomorrow, send out all the airships that can carry out the mission and make sure to find out what happened and where!"
There were too many unpredictable factors at night, and an airship with sufficient medicine was lost in the dark, which made him dare not give the order to continue the search. He could only wait until dawn when visibility was better to send out the reconnaissance team.
"As you wish," the attendant turned around and breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the archbishop would insist on finding out the situation right now.
Vasek left the city wall and came to the control room of the city's shelter array and turned the array's power to maximum.
Only in this way can he feel at ease.
Time is like a rushing river that never stops. The red moon sets in the west and disappears completely, while the red sun rises in the east. Vasek immediately stands up from his chair and walks quickly out of the control room.
Half an hour later, the gray fog in the sky dissipated.
Amidst the rumbling sound, three airships took off from the parking lot and formed a V-shaped formation to leave Tristram.
The sky in the distance was still filled with red light. Vasek watched the airship leave and prayed for them silently.
A night has passed, and the airship on night duty has still not returned. It must be a dangerous situation.
The attendant next to him looked at the serious-looking archbishop and gently consoled him, "The abnormality occurred in the direction of Bray City. I believe the Vatican has also sent troops to investigate. Even if something strange happens, can the combined power of the church not resolve it?
It's daytime now, without the fog covering it, and the visibility on the airship is good. They will figure out the situation soon and report back to you."
"I hope so." Vasek's face was like an eternal glacier, and his expression showed no sign of warming up, because he still felt a faint sense of oppression in his heart.
The attendant bowed slightly and said with a smile, "The Archbishop has worked hard all night. The kitchen has already prepared breakfast. The Archbishop can eat while waiting for news."
The Archbishop nodded slightly, and the two of them hurried to the restaurant.
An hour later, Vasek stood on the city wall, observing the clear sky with a telescope.
A lot of time had passed and the airship had not returned yet, and he became anxious again.
He moved the telescope and observed carefully. Suddenly, an airship came into view and his face lit up with joy.
However, his joyful expression did not last for half a minute, because he only saw one airship returning, and the condition of the airship was not very good and it was not stable during flight.
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Vasek calmly waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the parking lot."
He wanted to know what happened first.
After a while, the airship landed shakily, and he saw the pale and frightened captain, and several crew members behind him.
Vasek took out a high-quality heart-clearing potion from his space ring and handed it over, waiting quietly for the airship captain to calm himself down.
About a quarter of an hour later, the captain's fear and anxiety gradually calmed down, and he said in a crying voice:
"Archbishop, it's over, it's all over. Our airship is following..."
From the captain's intermittent narration, Vasek understood the whole story. Usually tough, he couldn't help but feel his legs go weak and blood rushing to his head.
Several airships flew in the predetermined direction, but at first they found nothing special, nor did they find any trace of the airship that disappeared at night.
They walked forward and saw a huge city ruin in the distance. This city was clearly the city of Bligh, the seat of the Church of the Lord of Fire.
The wreckage of an airship lay quietly on the edge of the city, and nothing could be recognized.
There are many burning, deformed humanoid creatures moving around in the city.
Several airships decided to conduct a closer investigation to see what caused the destruction, but unexpectedly they alarmed a huge monster in the center of the city.
The monster released a black and red spear condensed by the power of the law, and an airship was hit directly.
One of the two remaining airships also crashed during the escape.
Many monsters emerged from the ruins of the city and chased the airship.
Vasek felt his mind go blank. St. Peter's Cathedral in Bligh City meant a lot to all the believers of the Lord of Fire. Now it was reduced to ruins. He felt like half of his world had collapsed.
Another point is that most of the core members of the Golden Family have moved to the city of Bly. How can the church continue to operate after the death of the Pope? ! What is even more despairing is that what kind of power can destroy a huge city in just one night? !
The city of Bray is the seat of the Holy See, and the protective array built there can defend against long-term attacks from the top six levels.
Now it was in ruins, and the message hidden behind it almost made him lose all confidence.
"An evil spirit has descended upon the city of Bly."
Thinking of this, Vasek felt his vision suddenly go dark, and his body was shaking and he couldn't stand still.
The attendant quickly stepped forward and supported the archbishop.
After a long while, Vasek opened his eyes and asked, "You said a monster chased you. Did you make a detour on your way back?"
The airship captain shook his head in confusion. He was totally dumbfounded at the time. Why would he think of taking a detour to confuse the enemy?
"Now, are you still in a good condition to continue flying the airship? All I need to do is launch the airship into the air and patrol near the city. If you find any enemy, notify me immediately."
When Vasek regained his sanity, the first thing he had to do was to confirm the level of combat power of the humanoid monster with flames burning on its body.
"That's fine," the airship captain nodded.
"Then do it now," the archbishop turned and said to the attendant:
“Notify the maintenance personnel to repair the airship as quickly as possible. All work must be completed within three hours.
After the inspection, personnel were sent to all parishes to report the situation in the city of Blaye.
No, let it go to Rhine City first to deliver the message."
Now, Bishop Crown of Rhine City is his only support in his heart. After all, the other party is the one who killed Dagon.
You know, among Cthulhu's followers, Dagon is also one of the best characters. Being able to kill Dagon shows that the other party's strength is at the highest point in the human world.
If there is any hope for the Kingdom of Farouk, it must fall on Clown.
At this time, the strong can naturally be trusted.
In Moya Castle, a ray of setting sun falls into the Sun and Moon Altar, and two sunsets shine against each other inside.
In the main castle, Clown's eyes flashed with golden and purple light.
[Holy Light Field (Tayin): 1/1000000; Level 1] (You have gained some insight into the true meaning of the Taiyin Law. Within the range of the Holy Light Field (Tayin), the damage of all your Taiyin Law skills increases by 200%.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Special Effect 1: Aura of Silence (Passive); The Lunar Law freezes all enemies within the area, both physically and mentally.
Special Effect 2: Twins; The sun and the moon are bright, yin and yang are one, increasing the growth rate of Taiyin Law skill proficiency by 100%;) [Ignite the Divine Fire: 99999/100000;] (Use the prayers of all living beings as firewood to temper the fire of divinity. The current progress is 99%. When the progress reaches 100%, the holy mark can be condensed.) Clown exhaled lightly, sitting cross-legged on the ground facing the sunset, with no sadness or joy in his heart.
Now, he could already glimpse some of the mysteries of that new realm.
He had imagined many times what it would be like when he advanced to the Golden Stigma, and at that time, just imagining it made him extremely excited.
When the time came, he did not feel the same as he had imagined. All this seemed like a miracle to outsiders, but in his heart it was a natural result.
The golden wall records his every step and every second of effort.
Closing his eyes, Crown formed the Great Sun Seal with his hands, and golden light suddenly radiated outward from his body.
When he formed the Sunlight Seal, he felt like a fire-eater. He was breathing flames, his body temperature rose sharply, and red cracks appeared on his body surface. Silver blood flowed out of the cracks, emitting hot steam. The temperature in the room rose rapidly, as if he had entered a steelmaking factory.
He could feel the golden glow of the Sun's Thunder Seal on his bones, and the flesh and blood near his bone marrow and bones seemed to be boiling.
The process was not pleasant. He felt his internal organs were burned and the piercing pain was destroying his nerves.
After persisting for a quarter of an hour, the seal in his hand changed into a moonlight seal, and silver light radiated outward from his body.
The injuries on my body healed quickly and I felt cool and refreshed.
On his bones, the golden sun thunder seal dimmed, and the silver moon thunder seal began to shine.
The wonderful touch only lasted for a few minutes. As the visualization method worked, the coldness spread throughout his body. Crown felt like a snake frozen in winter, with his mind frozen.
The bone-deep coldness spread throughout his body. His skin was cracked and silver blood flowed out. The temperature in the room dropped sharply in the white mist.
Crown changed the seal again and again.
Gradually, the scars on his body became fewer and fewer, his bones became more and more crystal clear like jade, and the Sun Thunder Seals and Moon Thunder Seals were slowly completed.
He was immersed in his own world, forgetting time, forgetting himself, forgetting everything. Outside the window, the setting sun was setting and a crescent moon was rising.
Crown was immersed in a state of ecstasy, his movements were smooth and flowing, with a mysterious aura.
The moon sets and the sun rises, the sun sets and the moon rises, and two days pass like this.
A silver light rose into the sky from Moya Castle. Nick, Fanny, Melissa, Del, butler Lord and others gathered outside the main castle.
Lord said worriedly, "It's been several days, and the food placed at the door has not been touched at all. The servants took it back intact. If this continues, will something go wrong?"
“Don’t say such unlucky things. A Level 6 Transcendent would not have any problems even if he didn’t eat for ten days or half a month, let alone a few days.
Besides, who is our bishop? He is the inheritor of the Golden Light Mantra, and you all know the mystery of the Golden Light Mantra.
I dare say that the bishop has long reached the point where he no longer needs to eat and can sustain his vitality solely by relying on the essence of the sun and the moon absorbed during meditation.
The reason for eating should be to maintain a habit or to satisfy the desire for food. "
Del said carelessly. Among the few people, he was the calmest, because in his eyes, the bishop was no different from a god!
Is there anyone who can advance from an ordinary person to the level of a sixth-order extraordinary person in just a few years? !
No, not at all.
Even in the books that record the deeds of gods, there is no record of such a growth rate.
It is obvious that the current bishop has reached a bottleneck and is looking for an opportunity to go further.
What realm would a sixth-order extraordinary person reach when he reaches the next level? Thinking of this, Del felt hot all over, and even his breath was filled with hot currents.
Lord nodded slightly: "At first I agreed with Del's opinion, but now the bishop has been in the castle for more than half a month, and no one has seen him since he ordered the castle to be closed.
Although I also felt that the bishop would be fine, I was still very worried, so I called everyone together to discuss the follow-up.
Should we maintain the status quo, or confirm the bishop's status through other means? "
Del glanced at the northern giant bear squatting at the castle gate, then looked up at the 'crow' with golden feathers, and smiled bitterly: "Keep the status quo, I think these two tamed beasts will never have a chance to enter the main castle if they stay here.
Maybe the bishop gave them some orders."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly saw a golden light penetrate the castle and rush into the sky. The silver light emitted by the magic circle seemed dim in this dazzling spiritual light.
A powerful pressure swept out, and he couldn't help but tremble and fell to the ground.
Not only him, but everyone in the castle, except for the one who was standing, fell down.
This was just the beginning of the change. The golden light gradually dissipated, and a golden sun appeared in the sky east of the castle, shining its light all over the earth. It was as bright as day for several kilometers around.
The light of the 'sun' became brighter and brighter. When everyone subconsciously stretched out their hands to block the strong light, a white jade disk flashed in the west of the sky, and the quiet light dispelled the sharpness of the 'sun'.
With the castle as the center, the world was divided into two halves, one half was shining with blazing golden light, and the other half was shining with dim, cold and icy silver light.
At this moment, Clown, who was in the main castle, opened his eyes. A gorgeous golden and silver flower bloomed in his hand, and the room was filled with a faint fragrance.
Picking a flower between his fingers, he walked to the window with a smile on his face, looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar world.
