Chapter 489: Making It Harder for Yourself

In the middle of the night, the grand banquet ended. After the music ended and the crowd dispersed, Moya Castle returned to its tranquility.

There were mountains of gifts in the warehouse. Eliza happily opened the gifts with the maid. For her, this was a rare enjoyment.

Just like opening a blind box, you never know when a little surprise will appear.

Andy reminded: "Madam, it's almost twelve o'clock. You should go back and rest."

"That's fine, happy times are always short," Eliza put down the gift in her hand and instructed, "Anti, tomorrow you will be responsible for counting the gifts and then give me the booklet."

"Okay," the maid agreed, leading her mistress away.

Eliza returned to the bedroom and found her husband standing in front of the French window, staring at the endless starry sky.

"Today's training ended so early," she walked up to the other person and said softly.

"Today's training ended so early," she walked to the other side, stretched out her head and bent down slightly to observe the other's expression, "Are you worried about something?"

Crown hugged her gently from behind and told her about his conversation with Flanders, and then said: "I wonder if the policy we implemented before was wrong. Shattrath City provides a comfortable environment, and even though there were several crises, they were easily overcome.

Under the protection of the Silver Dawn, the people living here have lost their sense of crisis. You have to know that outside the range of the holy light, there is gray fog all over the sky, countless monsters, and minions of the evil god.

The continued increase in population is not a good thing. Sooner or later, we will face a food crisis. We must find a way to reduce the population."

"You finally realized this problem. I wanted to mention it to you after the church was established."

Eliza turned her head and reached out to touch her husband's face:

“From my experience, if you treat people too well in the early stages, once you’re not so good to them, they will stand up and object.

But you are a god, and you should show compassion to others. There is nothing wrong with that. So let me be the bad guy.

I plan to wait until I succeed the throne as Pope, then reorganize a force composed of members of other families and extraordinary people of ordinary origin. Their mission is to assist the Silver Dawn in clearing out monsters in the wild.

I will set up a number of outposts on the outskirts of the city, close to the edge of the Holy Light range, to provide the city with the first line of warning. The newly formed troops will be the main force of the outposts.

In this way, we can use monsters to consume the population and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops."

She paused and continued, "When we set up the army, there will definitely be many people who will obstruct us or not work hard. At that time, I will use thunderous means to rectify the situation and let everyone know who is the master here."

Her plain words have already decided the life and death of many people.

"Just let go," Crowne understood that kindness is not the way to command an army, and righteousness is not the way to command wealth. The more critical the situation is, the more a leader with a strong hand is needed. His previous approach was too gentle.

Fortunately, this is a world where great power belongs to oneself. Otherwise, if a group of people who secretly disobeyed others appeared in the territory, power would probably have been lost.

Two months passed in a flash, and Clown was staying in the alchemy laboratory, concentrating on making a potion. This was a potion prepared for Black Cat that could increase the chance of advancing to the fifth level.

He combined his unparalleled knowledge of herbal medicine to propose a new theory and conducted experiments thousands of times. Today was the closest to success.

The situation in Shattrath City has been very good during this period, and Revigaz also brought good news. Andre agreed to the trade proposal and would exchange various resources for potions.

Crown was not surprised by this. It was a win-win situation and no normal person would object to it.

Compared to the stability here, other parishes are not so lucky. Many cities are constantly attacked by beast tides, causing heavy casualties.

But this is not entirely a bad thing. At least the food crisis is not as obvious as before.

During this period, Clown turned a deaf ear to the outside world and focused his attention on practicing domain power, breathing techniques, and improving potions. Occasionally, he would take time out to create Holy Light Naaru.

Although my proficiency improves slowly, if I persist, I will eventually achieve perfection.

He felt that he was very lucky, at least he could still see his own progress, no matter how slight it was.

According to the Moon Goddess, she has not made any progress in thousands of years, which is really miserable.

He guessed that he only needed to advance the Holy Light Field and the two breathing methods to the next level to enter the eighth level. Although he didn't know whether his guess was accurate, at least he had hope now.

He didn't dare to imagine whether he would go crazy if he hadn't made any progress for thousands of years. Maybe not. If he didn't make any progress, he might soon shift his interests.

According to the Moon Goddess, the gods can use the Kingdom of God as a 'spaceship' to explore the spirit world, so they don't have to worry about having nothing to do even after entering the spirit world.

As Crown thought about it, he watched the reaction of the medicine on the laboratory table. When the medicine in the beaker gradually changed from azure to emerald green, he immediately took the beaker down.

The god's physical fitness was not afraid of the high temperature of the beaker at all. His hands suddenly became as crystal clear as white jade, and the Taiyin law was transmitted from the palm of his hand into the beaker.

Using the Taiyin Principle to rapidly cool down the potion can allow it to retain more activity, which is very important and can temporarily increase the black cat's vitality to make up for the damage to the source of life caused by the magic circle during advancement.

This potion is a customized product, an exclusive potion tailored to the black cat's physique. After taking it, the black cat will also enhance its own compliance with the Taiyin Law.

As the potion cooled down, it turned emerald green like the deep lake water in the summer forest, with flickering light and shadows, as if there were stars floating in it.

Clown nodded slightly. The potion was clear in color and had a faint cold fragrance. From the perspective of quality and smell, there was no problem.

He stretched out his hand and placed it above the beaker. A drop of medicine broke away from the water surface and flew under his palm. As his hand turned over, it landed on his index finger.

This drop of potion was like mercury and had a very nice texture. He put his finger to his mouth, licked it with his tongue, and carefully tasted the flavor.

A hint of coolness spread from the tip of the tongue, and a hint of bitterness began to spread in the mouth.

Clown closed his eyes slightly and savored the medicinal properties carefully. Even if it was poison, this small dose would not even cause him abdominal pain.

The potion gradually took effect, and he could feel the Taiyin Law in his body becoming active. Although the feeling was very weak, he still smiled and opened his eyes. The potion was effective, and his two months of hard work were not in vain.

The potion was only of the fifth level, so its effect was minimal for him, but for the fourth level black cat, it was a strong medicine.

Next, you just need to calculate the dosage carefully and you can prepare for the advancement of the black cat.

He sealed the potion, and then a group of small robots immediately flew out of the Fire Cube and skillfully organized the experimental table.

Clown believes that spirit control, a skill originally designed for combat, is the skill that best improves his quality of life.

The various metals swallowed by the Fire Cube have their own uses. The intelligence of the Cube itself is not outstanding, but it is a supercomputer that can handle various logical thread tasks at the same time.

Now the metal it devoured can form a 'Transformer' that is thirty meters tall. Although the mass of the metal it devoured has reached its limit, the thickness of the metal essence on the surface of the golem is increasing day by day.

Crown personally tested it and found that when the thickness of the metal essence reaches more than three millimeters, it can temporarily defend against the seventh-level law attack.

The alloy armor on his body is five millimeters thick. Although it loses some flexibility, it brings higher defense and tolerance.

With the armor fully stacked, he could take a ten-second bath under the evil flame attack of the evil god that destroyed St. Peter's Basilica.

Crown stopped in front of the door and summoned a wall of gold.

[Holy Light Field (Tai Chi): 1029895/2000000; Level 1]

[Breath of Flame Dragon: 476357/500000; Level 3]

[Silver Dragon Roaring Moon: 473926/500000; Level 3]

Although he never slacked off, his proficiency was still increasing slowly, which made him, who was used to rapid progress, feel a little uncomfortable.

After Black Cat completes his advancement, he plans to go to the Kingdom of Ribia to see if he can find the evil god occupying the former site of Lantimat Cathedral. He wants to try whether killing the evil god can increase his skill proficiency.

When Crown walked out of the main castle, he saw the stars hanging in the sky and the morning moon setting in the west.

He walked to the study and saw Anti and several servants standing at the door in a somewhat listless manner. Upon seeing him coming, the maid immediately knelt down:

"Your Majesty, the lady is reviewing the documents. Do you need to come in?"

Seeing him nod, Andy gently pushed the door open.

Crown stepped in and the door closed gently, almost without a sound.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Another sleepless night?"

He walked up to the desk, pulled up a chair and sat down.

He took a quick glance and blushed when he saw the doctrines and Bibles of various churches laid out on the table. As a god, he was indeed at ease because all the tedious but necessary matters were thrown to the Pope of the new church.

"Aren't you too?!"

Eliza stretched her body with her face tilted to the side and smiled brightly: "The time for the establishment of the church is getting closer and closer. It will be much easier if we formulate all the rules and regulations now."

Being able to control a church is equivalent to controlling the fate of the believers, and the taste of power makes her intoxicated.

She had already made arrangements in her mind for the candidates for the main positions in the church. As long as the church was established, it would be able to operate normally soon. What she was most worried about now was the missionary work.

The news of my husband's advancement to godhood has been spreading in the kingdom for months. I wonder how many responses there will be in other regions after the establishment of the new church.

After all, my husband comes from the Church of the Lord of Fire. Even if other dioceses do not take sides, they cannot start a war right from the start.

If the negotiation process gets into a stalemate, it would waste a lot of time, which is not what she wants to see.

There is still a lot of snow and wind outside, and it is inconvenient to contact the outside world. She cannot get the latest information, which always makes her feel uneasy.

She expressed her concerns, and then said, "We must integrate the Farouk Kingdom. I am worried that even if we spread the news that the Lord of Fire will never come back, many fanatical believers will not believe it.

These believers who are loyal to the gods are also what we need, so it is best not to use extreme measures, but if things reach a deadlock, extraordinary measures will have to be resorted to.

If it really comes to that, former partners will become enemies, and it may accelerate the spread of evil gods in the human world."

Clown understood that the last sentence was what his wife was really worried about, so he said:

"I will have Luther announce the fact that the Lord of Fire can no longer be contacted."

Eliza shook her head slightly and said:

"The facts are not that important. If someone wants to bargain with us for more benefits, they might even spread rumors that the Saxon family is controlled by you."

Crown frowned slightly: "How dare they do such an exciting thing? Who gave them the courage?"

"Looking back at your resume, do you have a history of slaughtering civilian believers? During the reign of Osman Druk, the cultists attacked the church, but you managed to turn the tide and, in the end, returned power to the Saxon family.

In the eyes of some people, this is not mercy but weakness. You had the hope of becoming the new Pope of the Church of the Lord of Fire."

Eliza paused and continued:

“In a sense, you drove away the evil god that destroyed the city of Bray, making it more difficult for our church to expand.

Fortunately, the heavy snow this year has slowed down the Warcraft attacks on cities that have been going on for a year, and Shattrath has not been attacked at all, so it can be used as a highlight to promote it vigorously. "

If there is a powerful enemy outside, it will inevitably prompt internal unity, but when the external danger disappears, the fragile internal unity will also collapse.

Klauen grinned, increasing the intensity of the game for himself, this was really stupid.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'm too lazy to think about these complicated things. You can do it yourself. If you need my cooperation, let me know."

He was not interested in the struggle for power, and his highest principle was still to improve himself on the path of transcendence.

He can defeat all kinds of skills with just one punch. If things are too complicated, he will just use his quick knife to resolve the mess.

At this moment he couldn't help but think of a saying, when a knight breaks the law with force, of course he will naturally be filled with murderous intent when he has a sharp weapon.

He groaned, and then said, “I plan to let Buster complete his advancement in the next few days, and then go out for a while.

With two sixth-tier dragons, two fifth-tier tamed beasts, and six Holy Light Naaru, the safety of Shattrath City is guaranteed to a certain extent.

By the way, how is your practice of the combined attack secret technique going?"

The combined attack secret technique requires at least a fifth-level extraordinary person as the core. After my wife advanced, all silver-level Silver Dawn members were recruited to practice.

"I'm already very skilled at this. How dare I slack off when it comes to saving my life?

However, when I wanted to launch an attack, the burden on my body was too great, and I could only launch five or six attacks at most.

Only when there are a few more fifth-order nodes in the combined attack secret formation to help me share the pressure, then the secret technique will have a certain degree of practicality and be able to compete with the evil god for a short period of time."

Crown nodded:

"When you become the Pope, immediately start training Nick and the others to advance. I have already refined the Storm Sea Potion."

He stood up and held out his hand:

"Let's go, go back and rest for a while, don't get tired."

The two held hands and walked out hugging each other.
