Chapter 501: Soren Barov

As soon as Clown returned to the manor in Shattrath, the butler came to him in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the two Holy Light Naaru in Zak Town were destroyed.

The enemy attacked two outposts northwest of Shattrath, and no one survived.

A group of members of the Silver Dawn team were also attacked and wiped out.

After investigation, it was found that the soldiers were all mauled to death by some kind of canine creature, but no other traces were found at the scene, as if it was a monster that appeared out of thin air.

Archbishop Colos's investigation yielded no results, so he reported the matter to His Holiness the Pope.

His Majesty said that we cannot deal with this kind of enemy right now, and we can only wait for you to come back."

"When did it happen?"

A large canine creature, and no traces left at the scene. Based on these two points, Crown judged that the enemy must be the hound of Tindalos.

Less than four days after he left Shattrath, the city was attacked, making him wonder if the enemy had some form of remote surveillance that he was unaware of.

"The day after you left, two scout beetles flew back, and then the outpost was attacked."

"Where is the Beetle now?"

Lord lowered his head slightly and replied:

"In your study."

Crown raised his head slightly with sharp eyes and said, "Send someone to notify Chloë Seymour to come over. Also, call Janice and Fanny over. I'll be waiting for them in the study."

“Okay, I’ll do it right away.

There is one more thing. A group of servants have arrived at the manor. I have selected a few smart ones. Would you like to choose one to be your personal servant?"

"Servant"

Crown stepped forward, waved his hand and said:

"There are too few places where I need servants right now. Forget it. I don't need them."

He no longer had to manage the church, so if he hired a servant, he could only help with trivial chores that he could easily do, such as opening the door and pouring wine. There was no need to waste manpower.

"Understood. Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will go and notify the archbishops to come over now."

Lord trotted off.

Back in the study, Crown took out a bottle of moonshine, filled a glass, tilted his head back to drink it, and poured another half glass.

He stretched out his hand, and two reconnaissance beetles lying on the desk flapped their wings and flew into his palm.

Mentally linked to the beetle's storage area, he checked the entire incident in Zak Town and found that it was indeed done by the hounds of Tindalos.

But the number of enemies surprised him. It took twelve hounds to knock down the Holy Light Naaru at the cost of only three minor injuries and one serious injury.

His eyes fixed and he felt a sense of crisis.

Only high-level sixth-order extraordinary beings can deal with this kind of evil creature wandering in the timeline. Now their numbers have suddenly increased, and the outpost outside the city of Shattrath is in danger.

From the perspective of a reconnaissance beetle, he saw that these hounds made a light leap and suddenly appeared from the ground on the church bell tower. They must have abilities similar to his void rift.

Now I don’t know how far the enemy can cross, nor do I know whether these things can jump continuously in the void.

If the hounds can jump continuously, airships cannot be sent out as scouts.

After much deliberation, he decided to enter the Andes again and spend some time scouring the entire mountain range.

The number of hounds suddenly increased, and he felt that it must be related to the evil god inside.

This evil god is the closest threat to the city of Shattrath. If the enemy's lair can be found, it must be eliminated.

He was worried that the enemy's lair was not on the surface, which would be difficult.

While he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

"Dong, dong", the sound is soft.

Then, Lord's voice sounded:

"Your Majesty, the three archbishops have arrived."

"Come in," Crown put down his glass.

The door was opened, and Chloë and the others walked in, curtseying and saying, "Your Majesty, may your glory guide us."

Lord closed the door carefully.

"No need to be polite," Crown pointed to the sofa, "Everyone, sit down!"

After everyone sat down, he glanced at the three of them and chuckled:

"So, how does it feel to be a cardinal?"

Fanny smiled: "I feel like I have a heavier responsibility."

"Yes," Chloë and the other two echoed.

"Haha, you'll get used to it slowly," Crown laughed. Except for Fanny, the other two had never held such great power, especially Chloë.

He paused and continued, “Lord has reported to me about the situation in Zak Town.

The attackers are creatures from another dimension, and they don't originally belong to our world.

There is an evil god hidden in the Andes Mountains, the same evil god worshipped by the cultists who once attacked Rhine City.

I guess the monsters that attacked us are the minions of this evil god. They control the laws of time, and you cannot cope with them with your current abilities.

Don’t worry about this matter, I will handle it.”

Fanny pursed her lips and asked, “Your Majesty, I learned from the church’s documents that the world’s spiritual energy concentration level should be synchronized with the return of the gods.

In other words, only when the gods' kingdom returns to the material world again, the concentration of spiritual energy on the continent will be considered suitable for the gods.

In theory, the level of human transcendents should be synchronized with other creatures. However, why are there so many fifth-level monsters in the wild now, but so few of our fifth-level transcendents?

An evil god has already descended upon the material world, so why is there no news from human gods?

Does humanity still have a future? "

She has been very confused in recent days. The power level of humans has obviously fallen behind. Although they have gods joining them, the number of high-level combat forces compared to the enemy is unbalanced.

Janice's eyes were now fixed on Crown, and Fanny's question also expressed her confusion.

The imbalance in high-level combat power between the enemy and us will have disastrous consequences.

The performance is not obvious now, but when the gap gets bigger and bigger, we will probably be crushed by the enemy. Although Your Majesty is powerful, it is impossible for him to cope with the endless attacks.

Clown was silent for a few seconds and said:

“The gray fog in the spirit world appeared much earlier than in the material world. Some evil gods managed to pass through the barrier between the spirit world and the material world, causing more gray fog to flow into our world. This factor accelerated the growth of the monsters.

In addition, I think that before they crossed over, some narrow passages were opened between the spiritual world and the material world.

Although the arrival of the gray fog has increased the concentration of spiritual energy in the world, it obviously has a greater impact on monsters, which is why monsters have more high-level extraordinary people than humans. "

He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and continued:

“The progress of human transcendents is not slow. A few months ago, I went to the Kingdom of Budamia and met with Pope Unica of the Moon Goddess Church. I noticed that she was about to touch the threshold of the sixth level.

Moreover, the proportion of cardinals in their church who have reached the fifth-order extraordinary level is not low. The strength of the Church of the Sun God should be not much different from that of the Church of the Moon God, or even stronger.

Why, does Shattrath City make you feel unsafe?"

He made a small joke and said, "The Fire Dragon and Silver Dragon in the manor are sixth-level creatures.

The four Holy Light Naaru in the city also have sixth-level combat power, and their numbers will continue to increase.

Eliza is at the fifth level, Arcturus has also reached the fifth level now, and the three of you have also stepped into the threshold of advancing to the fifth level.

I believe that as the concentration of spiritual energy in the world continues to increase and the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array operates for longer and longer periods of time, there will be more and more high-level extraordinary people in the city.

I called you here this time to see if you are ready for advancement.

I would like to remind you of one thing. Although you will get various materials to assist in your advancement, there is no guarantee that your advancement will be 100% successful.

The consequence of failure is the loss of a large amount of life source, which may be life-threatening in serious cases.

It’s not too late to regret now.”

The pace of the evil god's revival is getting faster and faster, and he hopes that more extraordinary people in the city of Shattrath can cross that hurdle.

If someone is retreating from the path of progress, he won't persuade them, he just won't invest in them.

If you want to control your own destiny in this era, you must overcome all obstacles and move forward courageously.

Chloë smiled faintly: "I have suffered enough from being powerless before. Now I have the hope to go further. How could I back down?"

Janice nodded: "Me too, we can't back down now."

Fanny stood up and shook her head slightly:

"I'm sorry to disappoint Your Majesty. I've decided to give up this opportunity."

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

She touched her belly and said lovingly:

"After I have Nick's child and leave an heir for the Misong family, I can go on adventures with peace of mind."

"This place will be reserved for you," Crown remembered that he had promised Nick that he would baptize the child.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Klauen nodded slightly and said to the other two:

"You adjust your state, and when you feel that your Qi is smooth and unified, I will prepare the sublimation array for you."

Three days later.

Crown was experimenting with a new potion in the alchemy laboratory. This was a potion prepared for Fukin's advancement. He was concentrating on observing the color changes of the potion in the beaker on the laboratory table.

Lord and Andy tiptoed in, saw him doing experiments, and stood aside waiting.

The medicine in the beaker slowly turned black. Clown shook his head and sighed, "Damn it, failed again."

He rubbed his temple and asked:

"What happened?"

The housekeeper knew that he didn't like being disturbed when doing experiments, and now that he came in on his own initiative, it must be an emergency.

"Your Majesty," Anti bowed slightly, "There is an envoy who claims to be from the city of Loch Modan in the Kingdom of Ribia. He claims to be entrusted by Cardinal Scott and is willing to serve Your Majesty.

However, he also made a request, hoping that we could save Loch Modan, and said that His Majesty had once helped them repel the attack of the evil god's minions.

His Holiness the Pope asked me to ask if you have any instructions on how we should deal with such matters.

Klauen remembered that he had helped a city in the Kingdom of Ribia to eliminate the attacking kobolds, so he nodded:

"That's true. This kind of thing belongs to the academic affairs. Let Eliza make the decision herself. She is better at handling this kind of thing than I am."

Andy bowed again:

"Got it. I'll go back and report to the Pope."

Clown said, “Hmm.”

"Remember to come back and let me know the outcome of the matter."

"As you wish," Andy saluted and turned to leave.

About an hour later, Eliza walked into the lab.

At this time, Crown was holding the manuscript and thinking about the reason why the potion failed. He had just done two experiments, both ended in failure.

He raised his eyes to see who was coming and said:

"Why are you here? Aren't you still receiving the envoys from the Kingdom of Ribia?"

"We have reached an agreement with the messenger. Andy said you wanted to know my decision as soon as possible, so he came back."

Eliza pulled a chair over and sat opposite her husband, smiling:

"It's too troublesome to ask Andy to pass on the message. I'll explain it more clearly. Do you have time to listen now?"

After marking the manuscript, Crown put it down and responded gently:

"Of course."

He leaned back in his chair and looked at his wife in a relaxed manner.

Eliza reached out and tucked her hair behind her ears, coughed lightly and said, "I agreed to Loch Modan's request. As long as they are willing to build the Church of the God of Glory, I will provide them with assistance.

However, I did not agree to send troops directly. Instead, I provided them with a batch of golden light potions and pure heart potions free of charge, as well as the holy water recently produced by our church.

In addition, they were provided with ten Sun Thunder Seals and ten Moon Thunder Seals each, and two Silver-level Golden Light Dao Seed holders were selected to accompany them.

This is the first foreign force to voluntarily submit to us. I think it is a good start. Although they are forced by the situation, once they get on our ship, they will not be able to get off.

With the addition of this group of people, the church will have a fulcrum for its missionary work in the Kingdom of Ribia.

At the same time, doing so can also serve as a warning to the domestic people.

How do you think it was handled?”

"Very good, all aspects have been considered clearly."

Clown thought that the two evil gods entrenched in the Kingdom of Ribia had been taught a lesson by him again, and now the pace of the evil gods' minions' attacks should be slowed down.

If nothing unexpected happens, a group of the evil god's minions sent out should be recalled.

In other words, the danger faced by Loch Modan City will be much smaller in the next period of time.

"Do you have any extra Golden Light Dao Seeds now? I think it would be a good example to let the envoys feel your power firsthand.

That way, we can spread the faith more quickly in Loch Modan and the Kingdom of Ribia."

"What level of an emissary is he willing to give up his faith in the God of Knowledge?"

Eliza replied:

"At the fourth level, he said he has already touched the threshold of the fifth level. You need to verify this, I can't sense it.

His name is 'Soren Barov'. I have information about this person. He is a genius priest from the Kingdom of Ribia. I see ambition in his eyes.

It would be the best publicity for our church if he became your pastor and showed more power.”

Ambitious people are more willing to seize opportunities to climb up, and once they taste the sweetness, they will inevitably follow the church wholeheartedly.

During this period, his loyalty should not be questioned unless the church's military force could not subdue the other party.

But as long as the God of Light remains in this world, the other party will never have the thought of rebelling.

Crown nodded:

"Arrange for him to meet me. I happen to have two Tao seeds in my hand now."

Among the members of the Silver Dawn killed by the Hounds of Tindalos, there were two Golden Light Dao Seed owners.

Logically, he should have been able to feel the feedback from the return of the Tao Seed when these two people died, but he did not notice it.

He thought that maybe when the Dao Seed returned, he happened to kill the meat mountain monster in the ruins of Lantimat Cathedral. The strong sense of pleasure at that time blurred his perception.

"I'll send someone to ask him to come over now."

Eliza smiled, stood up and walked out of the study.
