Chapter 456 A Bold Guess
Porto Suva City, Defense Command.
Although it is autumn, the midday sun is still scorching.
Amid the rolling heat waves, the autumn cicadas buzzed, making the last sad cry of their lives.
The hot weather at this time could not bring any warmth to Sean Saxon. He still felt cold all over while standing in the sun. In his hand was an official letter from the city of Tristram.
“It’s all gone. It doesn’t make sense.”
He muttered to himself, unaware of the beads of sweat dripping down his forehead.
Sean couldn't believe what was in the official letter. It meant that 60 to 70 percent of the Saxon family's power was buried in the city of Bligh.
He was a core member of the royal family, and he knew very well what kind of powerful defense the city of Bray, the seat of the Holy See, had. Moreover, the Flame Heart Array bestowed by the gods that had been built a few days ago made it impossible for it to fall, at least at this stage.
However, Archbishop Vasek could not lie about such a big thing, because it would be meaningless and would be exposed at the slightest provocation.
This incident will also trigger a large-scale chain reaction. The Holy See will be destroyed, and the power of the royal family will be rapidly weakened. From now on, the Farouk Kingdom will completely change.
If each parish fights on its own, I don’t know how long they can last in the current environment.
Wiping the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, Sean hummed a few times to clear his throat, and said with all his strength:
"Luther, take the airship to the Holy See now. Remember, when you get there, just take a look from a distance. Don't get too close."
"Father, what happened? You have been standing in the hot sun for a long time."
Luther is tall and wears a bright silver armor dotted with flame patterns. He looks very heroic in the uniform.
Sean handed over the letter in his hand and said:
"Take a look at it. Don't make a sound or show too much strangeness."
Luther was speechless, thinking that with your current performance, his personal soldiers all knew that something big was bound to happen.
He took the letter, glanced at it, and his expression suddenly changed:
"This, this, this, this, this is fake, is Vasek confused, how is this possible?"
His voice became smaller and smaller under his father's gaze, and finally he shut his mouth.
A few days ago, he felt that he had experienced the baptism of war and had greater strength to face future difficulties. However, after seeing this news, he, who always prided himself on being calm and elegant, completely lost his composure.
Taking a deep breath, he realized that the information was very likely to be true. Archbishop Vasek would not make such a joke. His father asked him to go to Bligh City just to be on the safe side.
The Church has fallen into ruins. Does the Church still have a future? What direction will the situation in the Kingdom develop in? This series of questions is what Saxon Arrowhead has to face. However, a large part of the family's elite is stationed in the city of Bly. How should the family deal with it now? ! With a heavy heart, Luther left on the airship. On the ground, Sean clenched the holy emblem in his hand and prayed silently for his children.
Iberia Mountains, the secret base of the Church of the Lord of Storms.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was very depressing. Sitting here were the core members of several core families of the church.
"No, I mean the Williams family actually used such a clumsy lie to excuse themselves?"
The person who spoke was Baluyev-Santon, who was lying weakly with sparse hair on his head, his eyes full of anger.
Andre's speech just now made him feel insulted. There is something wrong with the gods. If there is something wrong with the gods, will the church continue to exist? !
“Vaughn, won’t the Ryze family express their stance?
Andre actually said that the gods were polluted by unknown forces. Such words are clearly an insult to our intelligence! We haven't even met our Lord, so he can just make up whatever he wants."
He was so angry that he didn't even want to address him as "Your Majesty".
Vaughn Reese had even less hair, a completely Mediterranean style, with the top of his head shiny and gleaming in the light.
He coughed lightly and spoke slowly: "I was wondering why the Pope would say such unconvincing words."
Baluyev snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "It is precisely because it cannot convince others that it will make you, the cunning people, think about it again and again. Maybe you will come up with something in your mind.
It was a month later that we wanted to verify his words.”
Andre laughed and said solemnly, "What's the point of me stalling for time? Besides, as the Pope, I have had many contacts with the gods, so I have no reason to spread rumors.
If the gods are angry, the entire Williams family will be buried with me.
There is something wrong with the gods, that is absolutely true.”
Everyone had a heated discussion and the scene became noisy.
At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door, which actually suppressed the quarrel.
"What? Don't you know that we are discussing the future of the church?"
Baluyev said this angrily and went to the door with a gloomy face.
The door was opened, and before he could speak, he heard Bishop Carter say:
"Archbishop, I shouldn't have come to disturb you, but the intelligence department has sent back a very urgent piece of information, and I must present it to Your Majesty immediately."
Carter is the church's intelligence chief, and he has been everyone's eyes and ears since the church moved here.
"Come in," Andre shouted. Knocking on the door to report at this time must be a very urgent matter.
After he got the letter and read it, his eyebrows suddenly raised.
After a moment's silence, he raised the letter:
"Everyone, please pass it on and have a look."
The news in the letter was so shocking that he doubted its authenticity.
Intelligence reports said that the Church of the Kingdom of Talon was reduced to ruins on the night of the Red Moon. From the rubble, a humanoid creature was born with tumors all over its body that looked very much like tree tumors.
These creatures are cruel and bloodthirsty, and they frantically attack all living things around them.
The information passed back by the intelligence department must be verified, that is to say, an unknown force easily wiped out the prosperous city.
What kind of power could destroy the Church? If he had not chosen to leave the city of Bilvia, even if eight or ten Dagons joined together, they would not be able to complete the task of destroying the Stormspire in one night.
He suspected that only the arrival of divine power could achieve such an effect.
Everyone who had read the letter fell silent, with confusion and shock on their faces.
When the letter was passed to Baluyev, he glanced at it and a mocking expression appeared on his face: "Could it be that you two jointly fabricated this information?"
He didn't believe a word of the intelligence.
Carter frowned and refuted sternly:
"Mr. Baluyev, in order to confirm the authenticity of the intelligence, we lost two airships and several elite teams. Please do not question the professionalism of the intelligence department."
"Haha," Andrei sneered, "Baluyev, you idiot, please use your brains! If this information is fabricated, doesn't it mean that I can cover up everything in the church?
Archbishop Carter is willing to cooperate with me in telling a lie that will be exposed at the slightest provocation. How did you come up with this idea? ! "
He turned his head and continued,
"Everyone, if you want to verify the authenticity of the matter, it only takes a few days. So, each family should select a few smart young people to go to the Kingdom of Ruibia for an on-site investigation.
Such a significant change, even a blind person can see it. "
If the thing is true, he has a bold guess.
The gods in the spirit world had their minds corrupted by an unknown evil god. The gods passed information to the church, nominally to build a magic circle, but actually to return to determine the coordinates.
When the red moon descends, the world's spiritual concentration space becomes active, and corrupted gods descend from the sky, destroying cities.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was very likely to happen, and this explanation also provided evidence for his account of the Storm Lord being corrupted.
Andre closed the door and spoke his mind, which was met with boos.
He stretched out his hand and made a downward motion, and said loudly: "My guess is bold and sounds crazy, but if other kingdoms also send back similar news, it will prove the authenticity of my inference.
I infer that there is extremely strong pollution in the spirit world, and many gods have been corrupted! Everyone, give me some time to verify this news, and you can also send your confidants to go with the intelligence personnel. "
The scene fell silent, and everyone knew that if Andre's inference was true, then the fate of mankind would be extremely difficult.
If that happens, will the human world continue to exist? This question is on everyone's mind.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The sun is shining in the sky, showing off its passion freely.
In the open space in front of Moya Castle, Clown activated the magic circle he had just built, and a red light appeared under his feet.
This is a defensive magic circle that uses the function of low-level energy crystal cores to resist spell attacks and physical attacks.
He controlled his strength and began to attack the magic circle.
He first tested the attack level of an ordinary first-order transcendent. The spiritual light of the magic circle did not move at all. He began to increase the pressure and released a second-level attack.
The defensive aura of the magic circle began to tremble, and when his attack stopped, it gradually stabilized.
He released a third-level attack, and the aura of the magic circle began to vibrate violently. After a few minutes, the magic circle shattered.
Klauen nodded slightly. The magic circle has been used to defend against enemies below the silver level.
Smiling happily, he summoned a wall of gold.
[Holy Light Field (Tai Chi): 59826/2000000; Level 1]
[Golden Light Mantra: 62789/1000000; Level 6]
[Spear of the Sun: 32465/500000; Level 3]
[Starfall: 19872/100000; Level 1]
Having just advanced to the Gold level of Stigmata, his strength is now in a period of rapid growth.
Although he had not practiced his attacking skills in the past few days, his proficiency was increasing rapidly.
He believed that the improvement in the Golden Light Mantra had led to the improvement of other skills. Although he had never practiced it, the Dao Seed holders still persisted in visualizing it every day.
The Golden Light Mantra had improved and this had also fed back into the other three skills, which was what made him most satisfied. The refreshing feeling of being able to wake up with a smile in a dream was intoxicating.
When his strength entered a period of steady growth, he felt that he could find an opportunity to go to the city of Bligh and meet the evil creatures lurking there.
With a bright smile, his eyes continued to move downward.
[Magic Array: 45276/100000; Level 4]
It only took him two days to reach the fourth level in the so-called most brain-demanding study of magic arrays. Becoming a master is just around the corner.
In fact, given his current understanding of the rules, it was normal for him to make such rapid progress.
With a bird's-eye view, proficiency will of course increase so quickly.
Once he has fully mastered the secrets of magic arrays, he can start to find ways to condense the energy stored in the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array to form a protective shield. At that time, his foundation will be more solid.
By using all the sun and moon altars as energy reserves, he dared to say that the city would be able to hold out for a long time even if attacked by the evil god.
By then, he can leave the City of Holy Light without any worries of being "stolen" by the evil god.
He had already thought of a name for the city, called 'Shattrath', and he planned to use the Fire Cube to create a holy light creature that used the power of the solar law or the lunar law.
Just as he was looking forward to the future, Eliza came over and said gently, "Lord God, it's lunch time, please go to the restaurant for dinner.
Chefs are only human and don’t know whether the food they prepare will suit your taste.”
Clown laughed: "Okay, speak normally, don't pinch your throat."
"Haha," Eliza laughed and said:
"I am happy. If you hadn't asked me to keep it secret, I would have wanted the whole world to know the news.
By the way, how is the progress of the research on the magic circle? You are a god now, so the progress should be fast, right? "
In her mind, gods are omnipotent, and a mere study of magic arrays can never embarrass her lover, no, the god of love.
"It's OK. I can try to modify the magic circle in a few days."
Crown smiled and nodded, then said, “After I’m done with these few days, I will start organizing my new knowledge.
I took a rough look and found that there are some special potions that can greatly speed up the improvement of the life essence of silver-level extraordinary people. They are also very useful for extraordinary people below the fifth level.
By then, you and several other core members will be able to quickly advance to the fifth-level extraordinary level, and the situation in the Dukedom will be more stable."
"Yes, yes," Eliza clapped her hands and added:
"But I have a small request. I must take the new potion first, and I will let others enjoy it after I advance to the fifth level."
She was worried that if she didn't have the advantage of her extraordinary level, those core members would gradually stop taking her seriously, which would seriously undermine her prestige.
"Okay, whatever you say, but time is tight right now, so it's very important for more people to advance to the fifth level a few days earlier.
If you are unable to complete the advancement within half a month after taking the potion, I will supply the potion to other people at the same time."
For Crown, rapidly expanding his power is the first priority.
In the future, the threats faced by the territory will increase day by day. He cannot and will not finish all the tasks. He must train a group of backbone forces to jointly maintain the prosperity of Shattrath City.
"Yes, I see," said Eliza, taking her husband's hand:
"Let's go, let's go back."
The two men walked back, and while they were strolling, Crown received news from Flanders.
“After repeated confirmation, we have confirmed the authenticity of an important intelligence.
The Church of the Kingdom of Ribia also fell into ruins on the night of the red moon!"
