Chapter 497 Holy Crystal
The sun sets, and Shattrath City is still immersed in a sea of joy. The entire city is bathed in a silvery-white aura, which blends and interweaves with the moonlight from the sky, soothing people's hearts.
"I'm so tired, even more tired than when I was practicing breathing techniques," Crown stretched. He was exhausted after a whole day of performing.
Eliza had already changed into comfortable clothes and smiled:
"Power is no longer necessary for you, so this great glory is like a passing cloud and will soon disappear.
But I am different. I enjoy the feeling of holding power and deciding people's fate with a single word, so I don't feel tired at all. Instead, I feel full of strength. "
She was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and her eyes showed a look that was completely different from before.
"Holding great power can indeed allow you to release more spiritual strength, but don't let the desire for power blind your eyes. Only the extraordinary power in your hands is our most real reliance."
"I'll pay attention," Eliza smiled, but she didn't mean to pay much attention.
"After Janice advances to level 5, she will reach the threshold of level 6 faster than you. By then, I will definitely be able to research a potion to assist in advancing to level 6. Are you still wasting time waiting for you to advance?"
Crown paused and continued:
“Although Kolos’s aptitude is not as good as yours, her desire for power far exceeds yours. If nothing unexpected happens, she will reach the fifth level of perfection before you.
In this world where great power belongs to oneself, in this era when the evil god is about to revive, I don’t want you to indulge in the vanity of being high above, because this kind of pleasure is like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. "
Eliza pouted and said coquettishly:
"Can't you just let me feel the power of the Pope for a while?!
In a month, no, in half a month, I will try hard. "
“Okay, but you have to figure out what you should focus on the most.
When I was in the Kingdom of Budamia, I learned from the Moon God that the spiritual world and the material world are rapidly approaching each other, and the speed of the evil god's revival is accelerating. Every day is important to us, so you should seize the opportunity."
Clown stopped preaching and changed the subject, "Are the envoys from other parishes who came to watch the ceremony doing anything now?"
Eliza smiled slightly, "These envoys left in the afternoon. I think Luther's remarks will cause a stir in the entire kingdom.
The Ming Cult's legal orthodoxy is now under pressure from the cardinals.
The time it took for the sunlight to disperse the gray fog was ten minutes slower. I felt that those parishes that had not submitted to us would not be able to survive two winters.
Now, I am curious about what the big families who have been watching are like at this moment."
She was in a very happy mood. Luther's action could be said to have dug a hole for those fence-sitters, which would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among them.
Therefore, the Saxon family would definitely not join forces with other families and could only rely completely on the Moya family. This token of allegiance made her feel at ease.
Various factions in Shattrath City have gradually formed, and she is confident that she can subdue these forces. As long as she gives birth to the bloodline of the God of Light in the future, the prosperity of the Moya family is just around the corner.
She had already decided that the child would marry early and contribute to the population growth of the Moya family.
If the Moya family becomes a large family, they will be able to gain a firm foothold and achieve prosperity for thousands of years.
The situation on the continent is not stable. The four kingdoms of Ribia, Namiia, Talon, and even Sintland, if they cannot give birth to gods, will inevitably be divided up by the three churches of gods.
By then, she would become the queen of a country much larger than the current Kingdom of Budamia, and the thought of it made her intoxicated.
Klauen nodded slightly: "In the future, we must treat the Saxon family well and let other forces know what kind of rewards those who firmly follow us will get."
The Saxon family is their best business card for external publicity.
"I understand that the Saxon family must be made into an example."
Eliza paused and continued:
"The carnival in Shattrath City was originally planned to last for three days. Will you still dress up and attend tomorrow?"
"No," Crown waved his hand, "Reducing contact with believers can maintain more mystery."
His part has ended, and there is still a lot of work to be done. Practicing the power of the field takes time, and researching new potions is a long and arduous task. In addition, the Holy Light Naaru needs to be continuously improved and updated.
Another very important point is that after his breathing method advanced, his strength increased again, and he could go to the Kingdom of Ribia again to seek benefits.
Klauen didn't know if he could kill the two evil gods, but it would not be difficult to suppress them.
After conquering a few pyramids and killing some of the sixth-order evil gods' minions, his strength will maintain a high rate of improvement. As one gains while the other loses, the two evil gods will inevitably be dragged down by him.
The reason why the Kingdom of Ribia was still chosen as the direction of attack was because they bordered Farouk. If the power of the evil god there increased greatly, it would inevitably attack the surrounding areas, which would be detrimental to the overall stability of Farouk.
From a rational point of view, if the kingdom's population drops sharply, it will greatly consume the church's war potential, and the situation will force those cardinals who refuse to surrender to bow their heads.
He was not in a hurry at all, and even hoped that those people would surrender later.
Klauen stood up and said, "I'm going to do some experiments in the alchemy lab. You can go to sleep first. Tomorrow you can ask Luther to come to the manor to see me.
Hmm. Let's set the time at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
The Saxons had kept their promise, and he would keep his.
"Okay, but shouldn't we celebrate tonight?"
Eliza leaned forward seductively, her breathing a little heavy, "We'll do the experiment tomorrow."
"Okay."
No words were spoken that night.
The next afternoon, Crown finished his alchemy experiment and came to the study.
Luther Saxon, who had been waiting inside for a long time, immediately stood up, saluted and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, what do you want from me?"
He was very humble, and when he announced that the Lord of Fire would never return, he found that many believers were crying bitterly, but soon after they cried, they prostrated themselves in the square outside the Cathedral of Holy Light.
He understood that most of the believers were not fanatics. For these people, what they really needed was a psychological support, no matter whether that support was the Lord of Fire or the God of Light.
The Lord of Fire can no longer respond to their prayers, so it is natural and inevitable to find a new object of faith.
Crone sat on the sofa and stretched out his hand.
"Sit down, don't be shy. From now on, the Moya family and the Saxon family will be the most steadfast allies."
Luther smiled along, half sitting on the sofa: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Our alliance must be stronger than Valyrian steel."
"Haha," Crown laughed and continued:
"I said that you will get an extra reward when you announce the news. Now, I will fulfill this promise."
He took out a seal from the space ring and handed it over. The surface of the seal was a little mottled, but the flame cloud pattern on it could still be seen.
"This is. This is"
Luther held the seal in both hands, his eyes slightly red. He recognized that it was the Pope's seal, which contained a batch of top resources and secret techniques.
He stood up and bowed deeply with sincerity.
To open the seal, not only a secret spell is required, but one must be a direct descendant of the Saxon family. However, these are not too difficult for a god.
Klauen raised his hand slightly, and an invisible force lifted him up:
“Thank you so much.
I got the ring from a mutant fire zombie I killed in the ruins of Bly City. If I'm not mistaken, it should have been Arthur in its lifetime."
Luther clenched the seal tightly, his eyes sparkling: "Becoming a minion of the evil god is definitely something that brother Arthur doesn't want to see.
Your Majesty, let his soul rest in peace, and the Saxon family will always remember your friendship. "
The wealth in the seal ring is secondary. The many secret techniques are priceless treasures. Most of the secret techniques can only be fully exerted by the direct descendants of the Saxon family.
“Can you open it?”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Okay," Luther nodded. In order to prevent any accidents from happening to the heir, the secret spell of the ring will be told to the three core members of the family.
His father, Sean Saxon, was one of the core members of the previous generation. After the destruction of the city of Bly, Sean passed the secret spell to him.
Clown nodded slightly and spoke slowly: "Open it and take a look. I also have selfish motives. I don't want to take any of the wealth. I just hope to gain the knowledge stored inside, if there is any."
He hopes to collect some knowledge that he has never been exposed to to enrich his database. Even if this knowledge cannot help him, it can give him some inspiration.
Gods are not omnipotent, and their thinking is not comprehensive. Their vision in some areas is not as good as that of ordinary people who have been immersed in the corresponding fields for many years.
Luther was slightly stunned, then nodded obediently and began to recite the secret spell without hesitation.
As he chanted, the flame pattern on the surface of the seal ring lit up with an orange-red light. Seeing that the time was ripe, he took out a sharp knife, pierced his index finger fiercely, and smeared the blood on the seal ring without leaving a single blank space.
Luther closed his eyes and continued to chant the secret spell. The sticky blood with a silver glow slowly seeped into the ring, and the flaming flowers on it bloomed.
When all the bloodstains disappeared, he opened his eyes and kept taking out boxes of different materials and placing them on the desk, soon filling it up.
"Your Majesty, everything has been taken out."
Crown stood up and looked at the boxes that were piled higher than his head. He marveled at the huge internal space of the keepsake inherited from the Saxon family.
He said, "Open them all and take a look. Just leave all the books behind."
"Okay," Luther agreed, and opened the boxes one by one under Crown's eyes. Half an hour later, all the boxes had been checked, and twelve books of various materials were selected, including paper, leather, metal pages, and carvings on stone.
Klauen nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"I'll leave these books here for a few days. I'll let you pick them up after I finish reading them."
"Your Majesty, take your time. There is no rush."
Luther smiled and took out a few boxes and placed them on the table, saying sincerely:
“Your Majesty, these three spiritual objects are all needed to advance to the sixth level. If they are left with me, they will probably be covered in dust for many years.
I donated them to the church, hoping that there will be strong people in the church who can advance to the sixth level as soon as possible."
Originally, he had given up hope of finding the inheritance ring, but after the inspection just now, the materials in the ring could be exchanged for gold spirit coins, which might be enough to buy half of the city of Shattrath.
Not to mention the knowledge of immeasurable value, the recovery of such a huge fortune should of course be thanks to the person who returned it to its original owner.
Giving gifts also has a deeper meaning. Giving away the most valuable spiritual objects that you don’t need at the moment can help the other person avoid thinking about them and also give you peace of mind.
Klauen stared at Luther's eyes for a few seconds and said with a smile:
“It’s kind, I’ll take it.
As long as the Saxon family loyally supports the Moya family, when we take back our homeland one day, the ancestral land that originally belonged to your family will return to your hands, I said. "
If you don't accept this gift, the other person might think too much, so it's better to accept it.
He made a new promise, saying that as long as the other party worked hard for the church, there would be no harm in fulfilling the promise.
"I am willing to die for Your Majesty, for the Ming Cult, and for the Moya Family!"
Then, there were more speeches expressing gratitude.
After sending Luther away, Crown began to study these secret arts that were regarded as treasures by the Saxon family.
However, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. In his opinion, these secret techniques have some limitations and can only give him a little inspiration.
He carefully studied and analyzed the secret techniques and found that this knowledge could only support extraordinary people to reach the sixth level at most.
There was still a metal book and a paper book left to be read. Clown shook his head in disappointment and stood up to pour a glass of wine.
After drinking the moonlight wine and feeling the lingering aroma, he felt a little better.
Come to think of it, this knowledge is enough for a transcendent to advance to the sixth level. When the spiritual energy tide falls to its lowest point, the material world cannot even support a silver-level transcendent.
According to records, there was a period of time when the strongest transcendent in the entire continent was only level two.
At that time, what would it matter if we gave these people the knowledge to become gods? It would only make them crazy and hate themselves for being born at the wrong time.
After drinking a bottle of moonshine, Crown began to look through the remaining two books and finally found something useful.
The paper book contained a series of hand-drawn drawings of magic arrays that could transform the gathered power of faith into a substance of higher quality than holy water - holy crystal.
He studied it carefully for a while and found that the magic circle was not completed, but only a fragment.
Judging from the concept and theory of the magic circle, the designer is of very high level. It should be the manuscript of a transcendent who lived during the period when the spiritual tide had just receded.
Crown stroked his chin and breathed, lost in thought.
In his opinion, whether it is holy water, holy crystal, or the essence of the sun and the moon, they can all be considered a type of energy.
Judging from the design power of the magic circle, the energy level of the Holy Crystal should be higher than that of the Sun and Moon Essence, which made him very interested.
He was keenly aware that this would be a super energy source that surpassed energy crystal cores. If it could be mass-produced, evil gods would be nothing.
The design basis of the protective magic circle is to stack energy. When there is enough huge energy, it is definitely possible to create a magic circle that can defend against seventh-level attacks.
Another point is that super energy can not only be used as a 'battery', but also as a super explosive! Crown's face showed the kind of smile from the heart when a child gets a favorite toy. He took out a pen and paper to copy the manuscript and leave it for later study.
The first thing to do is to gradually complete the theoretical basis of the magic array, and then, based on the manuscript, design a magic array with better performance and start large-scale experiments.
