Chapter 389 The Holy Lady of Light killed the gods and ascended to the throne!
Abel had no idea that his life and that of his son Caesar were completely under surveillance. He was looking forward to cultivating Caesar, his extremely talented illegitimate son.
At first, Abel had great hopes, thinking that since Abbott could teach himself to become a great magician without any resources or teachers, there was no reason why his son Caesar could not do the same.
As long as Caesar's growth does not rely on the Dark Church, the Dark Church will not be able to control him. When Caesar grows up, it will be easy for him to kick the Dark Church away.
But Abel soon found that he was daydreaming. Not everyone could grow into a great magician on his own without making any noise like Abbott did.
To this day, how Abbott taught himself remains a big mystery, but no one dares to come and ask.
Although Caesar is extremely talented, he needs to lay a solid foundation with various natural treasures of dark attributes when he is young, so that he can achieve twice the result with half the effort in his future practice.
All those natural treasures with dark attributes are precious and expensive. Even those with dark attributes are rare treasures that are one in a million. Even if Abel wanted to sell all his belongings to buy natural treasures for his son, he didn't have the channels to buy them.
At this time, the Dark Church took the initiative to deliver the treasures of dark attributes to Abel's door. How could he not be tempted?
Abel accepted it the first time, and then the second and third time happened until he got used to it.
When Caesar grows up and starts his enlightenment, he also needs a dark wizard who is proficient in dark magic as his enlightenment teacher.
Abel himself was just a knight who practiced fighting spirit. He did not have much talent for practicing magic and had given up practicing magic a long time ago. The Anderson family worshipped a magician, but the other party was not a magician of dark attributes and could not teach Caesar for long.
So when Caesar's biological mother Avian said that she was a seventh-level dark wizard and that she would teach Caesar the dark magic, even though Abel didn't want Caesar to be too involved with Avian, he had to accept it.
After all, children's education is more important.
Ivian is fine as a teacher for children, but as the child grows older and stronger, he will naturally need a stronger teacher to lead him to grow into a great mage. At this time, Ivian said that the Pope of the Dark Church is actually a great dark mage with hidden strength. With his guidance, Caesar will definitely become the next great dark mage.
How could Abel not be moved? He had invested so many resources, made so many concessions and sacrifices for Caesar's cultivation path. Would he be willing to fail now?
So for Caesar's future, Abel had no choice but to accept it. Step by step, he became more and more tied to the Dark Church.
When Abel gave in to Avian and the Dark Church behind her for the sake of Caesar, a child with extraordinary talent, he began to lose his bottom line and advantage step by step.
Avian began to place chess pieces in the Anderson family, provoking conflicts between Abel and his wife's eldest son and second son.
After all, Abel's attitude of valuing Caesar, his illegitimate son, was too obvious. Even with Abel's previous promise, his legal wife and legitimate children would feel uneasy. Under Avian's deliberate instigation, the relationship between the two sides became increasingly tense.
Abel suspected that his wife and his eldest and second sons wanted to murder Caesar and end his hopes for a future life.
His wife and eldest and second sons suspected that he made his eldest son the heir just to temporarily appease them, and planned to change the heir after the illegitimate son grew up.
The misunderstandings and conflicts of interest between the two sides gradually split the Anderson family into two factions, one is the head of the family and the other is the heirs.
Because Caesar's talent was in the dark attribute, Abel did not dare to expose Caesar's talent in order not to alert the Church of Light. So in the eyes of the Anderson family, it was the head of the family who inexplicably valued an illegitimate son with mediocre talent, and for this reason he had a big quarrel with his wife, children, and Yue's family, which greatly damaged the family's interests.
Therefore, quite a few tribesmen joined Abel's eldest son.
But Abel's management over the years was not fake. As the head of the family, he naturally suppressed his eldest son. However, he did not want to replace his eldest son's position of heir, so he only occasionally warned his wife and children not to set their sights on Caesar, and did not really suppress his eldest son.
But the more this happened, the more Abel's wife and eldest son became wary of Caesar's position in his heart, and the conflict between the two sides could not be eased.
It gradually evolved into an internal fight within the Anderson family.
Abel was busy with internal strife and had no time to take care of other things. So the Dark Church used Avian to plant a lot of spies in the Anderson family's territory.
Thanks to the fact that Abel is the elder brother of Duke Abbot, the activities of the Church of Light in the Anderson family's territory are not very frequent, and they will give Abel some face, which makes the members of the Church of Darkness active.
After Si Yuan learned the news from Marquis Wilson, he thought for a moment and then sent someone to pass the news of Abel's collusion with the Dark Church to the Cardinal of the Church of Light, the same Cardinal who came to the Duke's Mansion to invite Olive to be the Saint of Light.
The two parties have known each other for a long time, so it would be nice for him to do the other party a favor this time.
The cardinal learned that there were heretics of the Dark Church active in the Anderson family's territory. The news came from Si Yuan and must be credible. Without saying a word, he took his confidants to the Anderson family's territory to deal with those heretics. This was a great achievement.
Although everyone contributed to the resolution of the heretics, there is no doubt that the greatest contribution was made by resolving the believers of the Dark God.
After all, the gods believed in by many other heretical sects had already perished in the Ragnarok War. Even if the sect developed, the condensed power of faith could not be used by the gods, and posed no threat to the God of Light.
The belief in the God of Light has been passed down on the continent for so many years and has long accumulated a vast amount of faith power. It no longer cares about the insignificant faith power of the heretics.
Therefore, the Church of Light does not care much about this kind of heretical church that is like a rootless duckweed and has no backing. They will kill it if they meet it, and forget it if they don’t meet it. They are too lazy to look for it specifically, and there will be no credit for killing it anyway.
But the Dark Church is different. The Dark God is still alive, but he is sealed on the other side of the continent. If there is enough faith, he may be able to break the seal at any time.
Therefore, under the instruction of the God of Light, the Dark Church was like a rat crossing the street, and everyone wanted to kill it. It was a great achievement for a member of the Church of Light to eliminate a member of the Dark Church, let alone eliminating an entire stronghold of the Dark Church. This achievement was so great that he might get the mercy of the God of Light and embark on the path of becoming a god.
This is why the cardinal was so proactive in leading people to the Anderson family territory after receiving Si Yuan’s message.
The goal is to seize the initiative and get the credit first, so that other colleagues won’t find out and divide the credit.
As for the fact that the Cardinal could not defeat the Dark Church with such a small number of people, he did not care about this issue at all. As long as he made the first move, even if a great dark magician appeared in the Dark Church later, he could still ask for more people if he could not defeat him. In this way, he could still take most of the credit.
If he reported it, he would probably be out of trouble.
That was why the cardinal set off so quickly.
After the cardinal arrived at the Anderson family's territory, he headed straight for the Anderson family's ancestral home with arrogance and a clear goal.
"Abel, you are harboring and colluding with the heretics of the Dark Church and blaspheming the light. Do you know your sin?!"
The cardinal looked at Ivian, the seventh-level dark magician who was trapped by him, and couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of his lips.
But the process still has to be followed. After all, Abel is Duke Abbott's biological brother. Considering that Duke Abbott reported it personally, the process must be followed to give Abel some face.
Of course, Abel had no idea that he was reported by his younger brother Abbott who was far away in the imperial capital. He thought that Abbott had already ignored him, otherwise how come nothing had happened to him for all these years, with neither revenge nor suppression.
Abel thought that the members of the Dark Church were not acting carefully enough and were discovered by the Church of Light, which led to the appearance of the current Cardinal of the Church of Light.
Of course, Abel was the first to cry out for justice: "Archbishop, how did I collude with the dark pagans? I am just a small knight, not even a magician, how could I be favored by the pagans?"
Abel decided to play dumb to the end. Even if the members of the Dark Church were exposed, he would insist that he knew nothing about it and that he was completely deceived and used and was kept in the dark.
As Avian listened to Abel's sophistry, she knew what choice this man had made, and she was not surprised at all.
What she was more concerned about was where the Dark Church had gone wrong to attract the attention of the Church of Light?
How much does the Church of Light know, and is there still room for recovery?
Avian took a look at Abel and his confused son Caesar beside him, and she decided to save the father and son.
It's not that she has multiple feelings, but she knows that only by protecting Abel and Caesar can the Dark Church's long-term planning and deployment in the Anderson family's territory not be completely in vain.
Ivian took the initiative to speak up and said, "I fell in love with Abel, so I concealed my identity and willingly became his lover and gave birth to his child. Abel actually didn't know that I was a dark magician. But that doesn't mean that all dark magicians are believers of darkness. I am not a believer of the Dark Church. I am simply very talented in the dark element. I embarked on the path of a dark magician in order to become stronger and protect myself."
Even if Avian decided to sacrifice herself to save Abel and Caesar, she still wanted to seek a glimmer of hope, so she did not admit her identity as a member of the Dark Church. She actually didn't know much about the Church of Light. She portrayed herself as a love brain magician with dark attributes.
It is not surprising that a love-brained person would do anything for the one he loves.
The cardinal thought it was a sure thing, but he didn't expect that Abel and Avian were both good at lying.
If he hadn't already obtained detailed information from Si Yuan, he would have really thought that this was the situation between the two of them.
Abel was already very nervous, and he took the initiative to distance himself from Avian. He was afraid that Avian would be angry and expose his true identity.
Unexpectedly, Avian chose to sacrifice herself to save him and Caesar.
Avian just loves them so much!
Abel felt good about himself and was moved by Ivian's behavior, so in the following show, Abel chose to cooperate with Ivian's plot.
Abel was shocked and couldn't believe that he was deceived. He looked at Avian and asked sadly, "Why did you hide it from me? Why did you lie to me? I was willing to withstand the pressure for you and recognize Caesar as the Anderson family. I even planned to let Caesar inherit the Anderson family in the future, but you lied to me from the beginning..."
Ivian's heart skipped a beat. Isn't this Abel acting too much? This is a bit difficult to answer.
But Avian still took the role bravely: "It is precisely because I love you and the child that I hid it from you. After all, my cultivation talent is the dark element, which is contrary to the teachings of light. I am worried that you will dislike me. I am so worried about gains and losses..."
Abel turned his head away reluctantly, and Avian stepped forward and held his hand: "Dear, don't forget me..."
Cardinal: "..."Are you polite? Are you polite to do such an eye-catching thing in front of an old man? I'm here to catch the dark cultists, not to watch your bloody drama!
The cardinal was too lazy to follow the procedures or interrogate, and simply waved his hand: "Take them all away!"
Abel, Avian and Caesar were captured by the cardinal's subordinates without any chance of fighting back.
The Dark Church has planted some people in the Anderson family, but these people are not strong and can only act as spies to pass on intelligence information. It is really wishful thinking to think that they can rescue people from the cardinal.
After the Dark Church received the news that Abel, Avian and Caesar had been captured, it immediately decided to rescue them.
Avian is not important. Although she is a true believer of the Dark Church, she is not strong and is not irreplaceable.
Although Abel is not in the same mind as the Dark Church, he has a special status as the brother of Duke Abbot and can bring help to the Dark Church.
Caesar is the Dark Saint, the definite Son of Darkness. He is the most important, irreplaceable and the one who should be rescued.
