Chapter 460: Sixth-order Fire Cube
It was just past noon, the rain was falling heavily, and the sky and the earth were bleak.
In the study of Moya Castle, Clown leaned against the window, his mind flying away.
According to past experience, the autumn rain will continue for more than half a month, and then the temperature will drop sharply, and the northern region of the continent will slowly enter a long winter.
However, this winter will face new challenges. I wonder how many people will not be able to survive this harsh winter.
The people of the Kingdom of Farouk and the Kingdom of Ribia must have a hard time this winter.
He stroked his short bearded chin and thought about the future of the duchy and the kingdom.
Although the cultists in the Andes have been dormant, there is no guarantee that they will regroup one day and step out of the mountains to pose a threat to the territory.
The estuary guarded by Lorente Town is also not safe. There are sixth-level enemies waiting outside. If this enemy is just a monster bred by the law of darkness, it would be fine. But the fear is that there is also an evil god standing behind the enemy.
The creature that destroyed the city of Bligh must have reached the level of a god. The ruins of the Vatican and hundreds of thousands of dead souls are proof of this. This evil creature will not stay peacefully in the city of Bligh and will inevitably expand its territory.
The city of Hamers is quite far away from the city of Blaye, and should not be threatened from there in the short term, but we must still be prepared for danger and be well prepared.
In addition, there is another powerful evil god that also deserves attention. This evil god is the twisted creature that looks like a bloated piece of meat, whose statues he has destroyed several times.
This creature can sneak into people's dreams, and people will be mentally polluted without knowing it.
After a rough calculation, the Dukedom is facing a direct threat from three to four evil gods.
When the gods believed in by humans come, the sun god and the moon god may also attack him. The potential "debts" he carries are too much.
The only thing he can do is to use the time before he faces the difficulties to madly improve his abilities, and then take the initiative to attack and strike first.
"Boom, boom, boom"
The rhythmic knock on the door interrupted Clown's thoughts. He walked to the armchair behind the desk and sat down, agreeing:
"Come in."
The door was gently pushed open, Lord walked in, bowed slightly towards him, and said:
"Duke, Lord Rivegaz from the Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce has come in a hurry, saying that he has something important to discuss with you. He is waiting in the living room now."
"Let him in," Crown nodded slightly, thinking about the other party's reason for coming.
For normal business dealings, the other party could discuss it with Lord or Eliza, and there was no need for them to come to him in person.
Even if it was about reporting some secret information, Eliza could definitely make the decision.
The Dukedom and the Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce only had a purely business partnership, and he couldn't think of any reason why the other party would come to him in such weather.
"Yes," Lord responded and turned to leave.
After a while, Rivegaz came to the study under the guidance of the butler.
His hair was wet, and there were obvious water marks on his clothes. When he walked, his feet were wet with every step.
"I'm so sorry for soiling your floor."
Rivigaz said apologetically, bowing respectfully, his lowered eyes filled with envy.
He still remembered the first time he met the Duke. The other party had just advanced to the silver rank and was a bishop of the Church of the Lord of Fire. He was a top-level transcendent at the third level at the time and was one of the shareholders of the Good Luck Gold Coin.
At that time, there was not much difference in the identities of the two parties, and they got along with each other quite casually.
Now, he has advanced to the silver level and is considered a big shot in other regions. However, the other party has leapt into a sixth-level transcendent and is a transcendent who can kill Dagon. The gap between the two sides is as huge as standing on the top of a mountain and gazing into the valley.
As a believer of the Lord of Storms, he understood the meaning of the word "Dagon" even more.
In the Kingdom of Hinterland, this name is used to scare disobedient children.
The Lord of Storms is the god who has fought the most with Cthulhu among all the gods. There are detailed records about the evil god and several high-level followers under his command.
Dagon's attack actually forced the Pope to abandon the Stormspire, which shows how great the pressure Dagon exerted was.
"Haha," Clown smiled kindly, pointed to the chair next to the desk, and said, "Please sit down. You came here in such a heavy rain, so you must have some important information to tell me, right?"
Lord took out a bottle of moonshine from the wine cabinet, filled two glasses, placed them in front of the Duke and the guests, then walked out of the room and carefully closed the door.
Rivigaz touched his wet pants, smiled bitterly, and took out a bamboo tube sealed with white wax: "That's right, the Chamber of Commerce has compiled a piece of intelligence, and we think it's better for Your Excellency the Duke to know it as soon as possible, so I came here to present it to you.
I've read the intelligence myself, and it happened to rain heavily today, so I sealed it up again."
Crown took the bamboo tube and emitted a faint solar law, and the white wax immediately melted and dripped onto the waste paper he took out.
Then he took out a small piece of paper from the bamboo tube.
'It has been confirmed that the four churches, Lantimat Cathedral in the Kingdom of Ribia, St. Peter's Cathedral in the Kingdom of Farouk, the Harvest Temple in the Kingdom of Talon, and the Emerald Dream Cathedral in the Kingdom of Namiia, were reduced to ruins at the same time last red moon night.
No one survived in the city where the church was located.
The Moon Temple has confirmed that a power at the level of an evil god has appeared in the ruins of the Kingdom of Talon.
As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, I require all branches of the Chamber of Commerce to store valuables in the safest place.'
At the end of the note, it was signed 'Blacksoe Doron', and there was a unique Ring Seal case.
Obviously, this is confidential internal information of the other chamber of commerce.
Crown's pupils suddenly shrank; the thing he was most worried about had happened.
As a large chamber of commerce with multiple branches in various kingdoms and an intelligence network spanning the entire continent, it was not surprising for him that Good Luck Coin could compile the news so quickly.
He put the note back and subconsciously tapped the table with his fingers, his brain starting to work frantically.
There are seven existing churches of gods on the continent. The Church of the Lord of Storms chose to passively avoid war, leaving six churches.
Two-thirds of the churches had problems on the same night, and Crown absolutely did not believe that there was no involvement.
But what kind of existence could attack four churches at the same time?
These things indirectly confirm the strength of the hidden enemy.
He speculated from the power he currently possessed that the enemy had most likely surpassed the seventh level and reached a whole new level.
Such an enemy is hiding in the dark, and just thinking about it makes people feel cold.
After thinking for a while, Crown calmed down and stopped thinking about it. Thinking too much at this moment would only make him feel more powerless.
He returned the bamboo tube and said:
"Thank you for the valuable information from your Chamber of Commerce. I remember this."
The other party's news will eventually spread here, but the sooner we know it, the sooner we can prepare.
"You are so polite, Duke. I am glad that you can use it."
Rivigaz took the bamboo tube and put it close to his body, then said, "There is one more piece of news that has not been recorded. Lord Blacksoe learned the news from His Majesty Andre.
When His Majesty communicated with the gods, he determined that they were also polluted.
Before this, the gods had asked Your Majesty to build a magic circle in the Church, but for some reason, the magic circle was not built. "
His tone was filled with sadness and there was a gleam of light in the corners of his eyes.
After sighing softly, Rivigaz turned his head to the side, took out a wet handkerchief and wiped his face.
He got the news early this morning and cried countless times. He thought his tears had dried up, but he never expected that he would still cry.
Clown was stunned. This news was even more shocking, and the bad feeling in his heart became stronger.
The gods and their own kingdoms should all be in the spiritual world at this time. The Lord of Storms has been polluted, but what about the other gods?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
If the news is true, he can already confirm that the creature that destroyed the city of Bly is the Lord of Fire himself.
It is ironic that the Fire Evil God has now destroyed the church center that he had created with great difficulty.
What frightened him even more was what had happened in the spirit world. What level of power could corrupt the gods? Now that five of the seven churches were destroyed, how could the remaining humans survive?
Another point, who can guarantee that the Sun God and the Moon God are still the gods that humans believe in? Clown's originally stable heart of Taoism began to waver.
He wanted to stand up and take a few steps to relieve the psychological pressure. He had already placed his hands on the table, but then slowly put them down.
If there is anyone who can stop the disaster from spreading further, he is one of the few hopes for the entire continent.
Even if not for others, he would shoulder the burden just for himself and the land belonging to the Moya family.
After taking a deep breath, Clown slowly asked, "What is the current situation of the Church of the Lord of Storms?"
"The core strength of the church is recuperating in a safe place, and the church has now cut off contact with the gods. The situation is now stable."
Rivigaz paused and asked:
"Bishop, do you think we still have a future? Does humanity still have a future?"
His eyes were filled with hope, yet there was a deep sense of uneasiness hidden deep within them.
"Of course there is a future, and the future will be as beautiful as the night sky over Moya Castle."
Crown suppressed all the pessimism in his heart and showed a calm and confident expression.
As long as he is given enough time, he will be able to lead everyone to a bright future.
A bold idea emerged in his mind:
'Perhaps, I can establish a church to fill the current vacancy of gods.'
He once built a perfect magic circle in the basement of Moya Castle, which could gather the power of faith for him.
Although the power of faith provided by ordinary people is not much, but if tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people are willing to believe in him, he will definitely become the fastest promoted god.
When his strength is sufficient, all unstable factors in the future will be crushed to dust under his righteous iron fist.
Rivergaz suddenly felt relieved and at ease.
The other party has turned the impossible into reality many times. Maybe, probably, almost, he can create a miracle this time?! He prayed in his heart:
"May you always be full of fighting spirit, and may the wind and rain make way for you"
After seeing off Rivergaz, Crown stood at the gate of the main castle, facing the rain, and did not leave for a long time.
His eyes were firm and deep, like an abyss.
The next day, the wind and rain were still blowing near Moya Castle. Clown sat cross-legged on a mat, meditating on the Golden Light Mantra.
On his exposed skin, golden and silver lights flickered one after another.
As the two holy marks on the back of his hands flashed in turn, the shapes of the sun and various phases of the moon appeared on the wall, over and over again.
In his body, the blood sometimes exploded as hot as magma, and sometimes froze his soul like the eternal ice and snow on Sunset Peak in the Andes Mountains.
Cold and heat intertwined in his body, and when Crown breathed, sparks would occasionally come out of his nostrils, or a burst of icy white mist would be sprayed out.
Just as he was completely absorbed in the visualization, a cheerful sound came from his sea of consciousness.
Clown paused his visualization and focused his mind on the sea of consciousness. He saw that the silver sphere representing the Fire Cube had expanded several times, and the sphere was covered with golden spots.
From time to time, flashes of light appeared on the spots, illuminating the sea of consciousness.
He touched the Fire Cube with his divine mind and immediately felt a surge of joy. The Fire Cube had advanced to the sixth level! "Haha," Klauen laughed softly. The news brought by Rivergaz yesterday made him feel a little less heavy.
His smile was warm and calm. This was just the beginning. The time hourglass and several tamed beasts would advance one after another.
When fighting with other gods, beast taming may not be of much help, but two spirit controllers can definitely provide considerable help.
Clown began to check the changes in the Fire Cube's abilities after its advancement, and the Fire Cube flew out of his sea of consciousness as he thought, spinning non-stop above his palm.
The Rubik's Cube's original abilities have been greatly enhanced. The ability to deform metal can be emitted through the air. Within a range of fifty meters around the body, he can control the shape of any metal.
In addition, the efficiency of swallowing metal essence has been greatly improved, reaching about ten times of the previous level, and the types of swallowed metals have been increased to cobalt, tungsten, manganese, and lithium. The materials that make up the alloy armor have also changed, and two layers can be stacked!
The outer layer is made of tungsten and iron alloy, and the inner layer is made of manganese and copper alloy.
The Rubik's Cube has a higher intelligence. According to its own description, the double-layer alloy armor can withstand dozens of sixth-level bombardments without being damaged. The inner layer of alloy has super high shockproof ability. Low-level extraordinary people wearing such alloy armor can also withstand attacks from sixth-level enemies.
The sixth-level Fire Cube can split into three small clones, each of which can be equipped with a set of alloy armor.
These armors can be given to trusted warriors to make them more fearless on the battlefield.
When lithium essence and tin essence are mixed, they can form lighter wings. Using such wings to fly can increase speed by more than 20%.
In this way, Crown's ability to escape has made great progress, and one of his shortcomings has been reduced.
