Chapter 440: 438: People from the Church (Additional 7)
The Church of the Sun God still has some dignity!
As the vanguard against the Seven Gods and magical machinery, if they came here under the pretext of investigating and researching magical machinery, they would not be able to explain themselves to the outside world or to the inside.
Therefore, the excuse they found was to teach sacred fighting skills.
Luo Yi wants the divine disaster combat skills, and the Church of the Sun God has been forced to agree, so just give it to him!
Not only do you have to give, you have to give it openly!
Therefore, this time the Church of the Sun God sent more people, a total of two hundred people.
Nearly half of them are mechanical mages recruited by the church.
The Church of the Sun God is so generous that it would be easy for them to recruit some mechanical mages as long as they wanted to.
Among these hundreds of mechanical mages, the leader is even a fourth-level mechanical calamity, Gendar Herik.
In terms of knowledge reserves and accumulation, it is absolutely true.
This is also the only fourth-level mechanical mage in the entire inspection team.
This alone shows the strength of the Church of the Sun God, which is much stronger than the three major empires.
Even Roy had to be wary of their arrival. In addition to Lord Shik Cruz, Roy himself showed up in person.
He could even feel that the other party was not so much observing as recording, evaluating, and calculating something.
Luo Yi didn't like this feeling, and even reduced the original inspection items again and again, trying to let them see as little useful things as possible.
As for the remaining hundred people, they are priests, clergymen and bishops of various levels.
They were clearly divided into three factions, the largest having nearly fifty people and the smallest having twenty people.
Their attitudes towards magical machinery also vary. Some are clearly disgusted, some are terrified with a hint of curiosity, and some are full of interest.
However, in addition to visiting the factory, they actually spent more time among the crowd, preaching with the flowers everywhere.
In other words, missionary work is secondary, and they are more concerned with examining the faith of the people of Flower Leader.
Luo Yi guessed that they most likely wanted to find fault with him and frame him for betraying the Sun God and embracing the Church of the Seven Gods.
It’s a pity that Luo Yi has always been cautious about his beliefs.
Besides, this is the parish of the Sun God, where the red dragon Virgil is the pastor.
Because the Red Dragon Virgil was not a harsh person, even the right to collect taxes was given to the Raymond family.
Therefore, the people here really did not feel the oppression of the Church of the Sun God, and there was no Church of the Seven Gods coming to preach their faith.
Therefore, most of them are traditional believers of light and are very devout.
These priests of the sun god were aggressive at first and looked like they wanted to cause trouble.
But after some investigation, everyone was dumbfounded, even they themselves were confused.
The most classic question and answer is basically like this.
The priest asked, "Why are you a devout believer in the Lord, but still working in a mechanical field?"
The believer asked in return, “Just because I work here, I can’t believe in the Lord?”
The priest asked again, “Is it okay?”
The believer continued to ask, “Isn’t it possible?”
It was a simple difference in cognition, but it happened more than once. The believers' frank and pious questions left the priests dumbfounded.
May I?
Is it not possible?
It seems, seems, possible, it’s not impossible, right?!
It is worth mentioning that many people came here, but they did not live in the Temple of the Sun God.
Instead, he booked two large hotels in the city and paid sufficient fees.
Of course, if that were the only explanation, it could be that the temple was not large enough to accommodate so many people.
But afterwards, there was no contact between the members of the inspection team and the local church. It felt as if the other party did not exist.
Obviously, the church's top leaders actually knew the identity of the Red Dragon Virgil.
However, an ancient red dragon insisted on becoming a regional bishop, and was promoted step by step. What do you want them to do?
Legend is a nuclear bomb, a deterrent force, so of course we have to find ways to accommodate it.
Finally, there is the leader of the inspection team, His Majesty Saint John Stuart, one of the twelve cardinals.
This one is the youngest of the cardinals and the youngest legend in the church today.
He has no clear preference, and he hardly gets involved in any of the three major factions in the church.
However, there are rumors that he is in charge of the Inquisition within the church and is the shadow judge who is feared by countless people in the underworld.
But this is just a rumor. Even within the church, few people can clearly identify the chief judge.
The reason why he leads the team may be because of his non-factional status. Of course, if a non-factional person can reach a high position, it means that he has a bigger backing.
Stuart, this surname is also the surname of the current Pope.
So, in a sense, he is the embodiment of the Pope's will.
Of course, being the youngest cardinal does not mean that he is really young. As a legend, he is already three hundred years old this year.
Well, a three-hundred-year-old young man!
October 26, 314 of the New Divine Calendar, the ruins of the Lion Castle.
A strong man who looked to be only about thirty years old was standing there.
He raised his arms, and beside him, a black cardinal was busy taking off his red robe that represented luxury and power.
Then fold it up and place it on the carriage beside.
Then there is the crown on the head made of gold and embellished with gems, and the various rings and accessories on the body.
Until the end, he was wearing a loose white robe, holding a long sword, and striding forward.
From this perspective, he seemed to be no different from an ordinary person, and he didn't even have the aura of a strong man. Instead, he had the indifference of a scholar and the unruly nature of a knight.
He made a sword flower with the long sword in his hand, looked at Luo Yi and said, "If you want the sacred fighting skills, of course you can.
However, not everyone can learn the sacred combat skills. You must prove your qualifications."
"Don't worry, I won't kill you through the competition, and the old dragon behind you won't be happy about it either.
I won't use my unlimited holy power either, and as long as you have the courage to fight me and show your strength, I will give you everything you want."
Luo Yi stood facing the wind, his expression serious: "So, you want to go back on your word?"
"No, no, no, if you can't satisfy me, I will still give you what you want."
"What if I don't want to fight?"
"I will give it to you, but believe me, you will regret it!"
Saint John Stuart still had a warm smile on his face: "For countless years, the combat skills accumulated by the church are beyond your imagination.
But when it comes to combat skills, what belongs to others will always belong to others. Your own talents will help you reach the top."
"So, show me what you're capable of. Let me see what qualifies you to covet the church's secrets."
"Alright, let's have a fight!"
Luo Yi understood that some things could not be avoided, and he did not want to avoid them.
After so long, he really wanted to see how far he was from becoming the legendary figure after reaching the fourth level!
As the fighting spirit spread, an invisible aura swept across the entire castle ruins, and all the spectators changed color and retreated silently.
The two men walked with swords in hand, getting closer and closer. Their steps were not fast, but it gave people the feeling that two huge monsters were squeezing and approaching quickly.
No one expected that the first person to take action in this battle would be St. John Stuart.
His long sword emitted a hazy milky white holy light. He slashed it first, and then three fighting blades flew across and danced to clear the way.
He took a step and quickly followed, like a gust of wind.
The golden-red fighting spirit around Luo Yi exploded, and he slashed out with a sword. The fighting spirit spread out a hundred meters, as if to cut the opponent in half.
The fighting spirit of both sides collided, making clanging sounds, and then, more frequent sounds of metal clashing were heard.
At this moment, both sides were like swordsmen, fighting with swordsmanship.
If you look closely, you can see that their sword-fighting styles are completely different.
His Majesty Saint John Stuart was obviously using some kind of secret swordsmanship, which had a complete inheritance.
It is characterized by being gorgeous, splendid, dazzling, yet extremely dangerous.
It feels like dancing a waltz, with almost no gaps in the transitions.
Once you fall into the opponent's rhythm, it's like an insect caught in a spider web. The more you struggle, the faster you die.
Unfortunately, Loy is not an insect, but a man-eating beast.
He has learned many sword techniques, and many of them have been calculated and refined by Deep Blue, so that they have been integrated into his style.
The final result is just one characteristic: practicality!
He can be gorgeous, swift, secretive, and ruthless. These are all his styles, but also not his styles.
He wanted only one result: to kill the enemy as quickly as possible, in the simplest way, and with the least effort.
Therefore, his swordsmanship may not seem to be coherent enough, but every time he strikes, he forces the enemy to find ways to save themselves.
He even took out the flame gun in his left hand after Saint John Stuart increased his fighting spirit output.
With a gun in the left hand and a sword in the right hand, his sword skills change, and the gun is like a poisonous snake. Even if he is as powerful as a legend, he can only be matched in swordsmanship.
But at this moment, His Majesty Saint John Stuart finally lost his patience.
He let out a low roar, and milky white fighting spirit suddenly rose up, ice-blue frost spread, and everything around seemed to be frozen.
Then he raised his foot and kicked Luo Yi.
At this moment, Luo Yi also burst out with fighting spirit, and the golden-red holy flame exploded and turned into a blazing flame, although it released the frost's slowing power.
But that kick was a solid one.
Then he flew out and crashed directly into a pile of ruins, raising a cloud of smoke and dust.
"If this is all you have to offer, I'm overestimating you."
These were the words of St. John Stuart, and there seemed to be a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
But the next second, the sound of a heartbeat like a drum could be heard, and inexplicable ripples spread out.
Then countless pieces of rubble exploded, and in the golden-red holy fire, Luo Yi jumped up.
He swung the sword in his hand with all his might, and a stream of fighting spirit that stretched at least a thousand meters shot out, as if to split the sky and the earth in two.
