Chapter 463: Departure
Five days later, the roar of the airships drowned out the noise of the construction site outside Moya Castle. Lord looked up and saw two airship formations flying in from two directions at the same time.
One formation had six airships, and the other had more than twenty. It was a spectacular sight to see so many airships flying under the blue sky and white clouds.
He immediately took out his binoculars and identified the paint on the airship's skin.
The formation with fewer airships was painted with the Holy Flame emblem of the Lord of Fire and the smaller emblem of the Diocese of Tristram, while the other formation was painted entirely with the emblem of the royal family.
The two fleets of airships simultaneously lowered their altitude and flew straight to the open space outside the castle.
"Strange, is today a special day?"
Lord muttered and quickly walked down the city wall. The Dukedom had never received such a large-scale airship formation before.
As he ran, he said to his assistant, "Kalami, go report to the Duke. I will go to the parking lot to greet him."
With the Duke's status, there is no need for him to go to the parking lot to greet anyone unless the Pope himself comes.
Although the royal airship fleet was very large, Lord did not think the Pope would be among them because he had not received any notification.
Crown had never announced the great changes in the city of Bly. The slower the news spread, the better. Therefore, the butler did not know that the Kingdom of Farouk had lost its pope and king.
"Yes," the assistant agreed, and ran down the city wall towards the main castle.
When the assistant ran to the study to report, Clown was meditating on the golden light spell, with Eliza beside him.
These days, he spent most of his time visualizing the Golden Light Mantra, and the rest of the time practicing the magic of flying. When practicing visualization, he also used an hourglass of time for blessing.
With the blessing of more than a thousand Golden Light Dao Seeds, the speed of gaining proficiency in the Golden Light Mantra is faster than ever before.
Although more experience is needed for advancement now, he calculated that it would only take about a year to advance in skills.
He didn't know whether he could reach the eighth level after the Golden Light Mantra was advanced, but it should not be difficult to advance to the peak of the seventh level.
Being able to maintain such a speed of improvement even in the divine rank is unique throughout the history of the continent for several eras.
Now, he is extremely confident in defeating the evil gods. He possesses a powerful plug-in that allows him to maintain a rapid momentum on the road to becoming a transcendent. In addition, the sun and moon laws in the Golden Light Spell have a strong restraining effect on the pollution law. Unless evil gods of a higher rank than himself surround and kill him, it will not be a problem for him to escape even if he is not their opponent.
Karami bowed deeply and said:
"Your Excellency the Duke, more than 20 airships of the royal family have arrived at Moya Castle. Lord Lord has gone to greet them. Please give us your instructions on what to do next."
Klauen frowned slightly, thinking about the royal family's intention.
At this point in time, the royal family is at its weakest. He couldn't guess what these people were trying to do by coming to his territory with such fanfare.
He scratched his head and looked at his wife. He was not good at handling government affairs, so it would be best to leave it to more professional people.
Eliza met her husband's gaze and shook her head slightly. She didn't understand the meaning of the royal family's action.
There were more than twenty airships, and I didn't know what they were transporting.
She rolled her eyes and asked:
"What types of airships does the royal family have? Large ones, or small or medium ones?"
"There are nine large airships, and the rest are all medium-sized airships. There are no small ones."
All of them were large and medium-sized airships, so they should be transporting large quantities of materials. Could it be that the royal family wanted to place some of their property in a safer place? Eliza's mind raced, and the more she thought about it, the more likely it was that the destruction of Bly City, in a sense, announced that the Saxon family's control over the Kingdom of Farouk had been reduced to a freezing point.
Judging from the remaining strength of the royal family, the wealth in their hands is not matched by the military force to protect the wealth. It is a wise choice to transfer a batch of properties to the city of Hamers now.
Of course, there is some gambling element in the royal family's behavior, because if Clown is interested in their property, this wealth may have to change pockets.
Eliza nodded slightly and said:
"Go and inform Lord to lead the most important guests directly to the living room and arrange for the others to stay in the guest rooms."
Receive the other party first, and then wait and see what happens.
"As you command," Karami bowed and left.
Eliza turned her head and asked, "I'll go to the living room to receive them. Will you come?"
"No, you contact the person first, and I will show up at the dinner."
Crown shook his head. He wished he could devote all 24 hours a day to visualization and didn't want to waste time on socializing.
Attending the dinner is already giving him face, otherwise he would not be willing to go to the dinner.
The people of the royal family he had the most contact with were Lexis and Arthur. With the shocking changes in the city of Bly, both of them had passed away, and there was no one in the royal family he was familiar with.
At his current level, there is absolutely no need for him to interact with unfamiliar low-level transcendents.
"Okay, I'll go and receive them," Eliza left. She was curious whether the purpose of the royal family's visit was consistent with her guess.
Crown stared at the closed door and summoned a golden wall, with a golden light flashing in his eyes.
[Golden Light Mantra: 111276/1000000; Level 6]
[Holy Light Field (Tai Chi): 71428/2000000; Level 1]
[Breath of Flame Dragon: 55276/500000; Level 3]
[Silver Dragon Roaring Moon: 55398/500000; Level 3]
[Spirit Controlling Technique: 13759/100000; Level 5]
[Spear of the Sun: 45982/500000; Level 3]
[Starfall: 19385/100000; Level 1]
[Flying Magic: 69587/100000; Level 5]
After advancing to the gold level of Stigmata, his life became fulfilling again, and there was too much proficiency that needed to be gained.
As his proficiency increased, his ever-improving strength gave him a more fulfilled feeling.
I don’t know if it’s because of the formation of Taiyin Thunder Seal and Taiyang Thunder Seal on the bones of my body, but even though I haven’t practiced the two breathing methods, Breath of Flame Dragon and Silver Dragon’s Howling Moon, my proficiency in them has increased rapidly.
It had been less than a month since he achieved Stigma Gold, but his proficiency in the two breathing techniques had increased by more than 10,000 points each.
He has made such rapid progress without any practice. If he practices deliberately, his proficiency will surely increase rapidly.
If the Golden Light Curse can maintain its rapid growth and the territory is not threatened, he plans to wait until his skills are advanced before considering going out to carry out the hunting plan.
Because there are too many uncertainties in fighting against polluting creatures at the god level, the more fully prepared he is, the more guaranteed his safety will be.
After all, no one could predict the enemy's true strength. He knew that he couldn't raze a Vatican city with a sixth-order protective array overnight.
If the territory is threatened, that is another matter. After all, he has developed feelings for everything here. If an evil god wants to get involved, he will first have to ask whether the sword in his hand is sharp enough.
At that time, we had to fight first no matter what.
Crown didn't think any more, closed his eyes, and entered the state of meditation again.
In the room, a full moon hung high in the sky, casting its cold and clear light on the room. A layer of frost immediately formed in the water cup on the table.
He had just practiced one cycle when he heard the sound of the door opening, and the fluctuations of his wife's life aura shone into his spiritual perception.
Eliza sat down not far in front of him and said softly, "Things are a bit tricky, I want to discuss with you what to do.
When you finish this round of visualization, we can talk."
She knew that her husband would be able to hear what she said, so she turned her eyes and stared at the glass with icicles on it.
Everything in the room has been specially reinforced, but these utensils still cannot last too long and need to be replaced, because in the process of alternating the power of the lunar and solar laws, the internal structure of the utensils is actually constantly changing.
These objects will not last long before they become decayed.
Ten minutes later, Clown finished his meditation, opened his eyes and said gently:
"My visualization is over. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The moment he opened his eyes, a golden hourglass appeared in the depths of his eyes and turned over.
Eliza turned around and smiled bitterly. "Two groups of people came today. The first group was led by Bishop Hamiti of Tristram. He brought a group of old, weak and young people to us. He confirmed that Tristram had fallen. He happened to be with a group of family members who were transferred, so he survived.
According to his speculation, the demons entrenched in the ruins of Bly were dispatched, and thus Tristram was destroyed.
The other group was led by Wellington of the royal family, the grandson of Prince Thane and the eldest son of Luther Saxon.
He also brought sad news: the city of Porto-Souvin had fallen, Prince Sein had died in battle, and the royal family had once again suffered a heavy blow.
The attackers were Cthulhu's followers, and the information they brought stated that the evil god's minions had already gone upstream along the Taina River.
These enemies have entered the Rhine Valley at the confluence of the Tainach and Rhine and are advancing northwards.”
Both pieces of news are bad. From what happened to Tristram, we can see that the evil creatures that destroyed the city of Bly were not content to stay in the ruins, but chose to expand outward. This must be a disaster for the Kingdom of Farouk.
Because the only one who could possibly stop the enemy in the entire Farouk Kingdom was her husband, and Clown was stationed in the northwest of the kingdom and it was impossible for him to go to other areas to act as a firefighter. Besides, he might not be a match for the evil god.
Wellington's news indicated that the kingdom had become the target of Cthulhu's minions for some special reasons.
The city of Portosuva was the only city besides the city of Bligh that possessed a sixth-order protective array. Its fall meant that the kingdom's southern gate had been completely opened by the enemy.
Eliza paused and continued:
“I have a guess about the situation when Cthulhu’s minions captured the city of Portosuva.
You killed Dagon, the evil god's top henchman, and the evil god ordered you to be killed.
Wellington's description of the movements of the evil god's minions also indirectly confirmed my guess."
Cthulhu is the evil god that humans have come into contact with most in the last era, and its nature has been analyzed to pieces by various churches.
Clown frowned slightly and said:
"Did Wellington say what level the enemy reached?"
"He said that according to the assessment of the survivors in Portosuva City, the attackers should be a group of sixth-level extraordinary creatures, with a number of no less than ten."
Eliza shook her head slightly and said calmly, "This should be good news for you. I think your enemies will never imagine that you have advanced to become a god.
Honey, what are you going to do?"
These days, she privately prefers to call Crown 'dear' rather than call him by his name, because she doesn't know how long she can continue to call him that.
She wanted to use this method to remind the other person that he still had a wife.
Clown pondered:
"I don't have a better way to deal with the god-level polluting creatures in Bligh City. Let's wait and see. Shattrath is quite far away from Bligh City. It will take about five days to get there by airship even if we fly day and night.
It is unknown how long it will take for the enemy's evil forces to expand here.
As for Cthulhu's minions, I will wait for them to come and cause trouble for me. If your guess is correct, they should be able to do so."
"Well," he tapped his fingers on the table and continued, "I will send Fukin to scout the Rhine River basin near us. If he finds any trace of the enemy, report to me immediately.
I am not sure of winning the battle against the evil god, but when it comes to dealing with level 6 enemies, no matter how many there are, I will kill them all!"
He said the last sentence in a decisive and murderous tone.
Judging from his various abilities, his advantage when facing a level six enemy is overwhelming.
In addition, he really hoped that his wife's guess was true. In that case, he could verify whether killing a sixth-level enemy could improve his proficiency.
Eliza felt a stinging pain in her eyes when she saw a sharp golden light shining on her husband's body.
She quickly closed her eyes and said:
"I will send Cuckoo to assist Fujin. Remember to warn the crow not to bully Cuckoo."
Coo Coo is a pigeon she has domesticated, a carrier pigeon of excellent breed that has reached the level of a second-level extraordinary person. She is now also a second-level animal trainer.
"Haha, I understand. I will definitely give it a stern explanation."
Crown shook his head. He thought of Fukin's stubborn temper and didn't think his explanation would have much effect.
Eliza added: "Hamiti brought more than 400 people, and Wellington brought more than 2,300 people, all of whom came to join us.
They must be resettled; these people are our role models for accepting more people to settle here.
I plan to instruct Lord to supervise the rapid construction of a group of houses tomorrow, and choose a site southeast of Moya Castle.
By the way, Wellington revealed his father's wish to move the entire family to our city and asked if we would accept them all. What is your answer?"
"It's acceptable. Population is the resource we most want to obtain."
Eliza nodded slightly: "We are short of housing, and we need to build a batch as soon as possible before the heavy snow falls, otherwise the refugees will have to sleep in cabins in the severe winter.
Do you think we need to break these guys up? Keeping them as a unit is not a good thing for us.”
Crown shook his head slightly: “Not for now. If they show a desire to share the power of the city, I will expel them.
By then, many ordinary people will most likely be unwilling to continue wandering with them.”
