The news spread like wildfire, and everyone quickly gathered in the reception room.
At this moment, they all looked at Yun Wei without prior arrangement.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yun Wei directly shared his thoughts: "Isa, the two from the Holy See, and I are preparing to head to Moonflower City immediately. Meanwhile, the safety of Alchemy City and Azure Glass City will depend on the efforts of everyone present."
Although it was unwise to disperse our forces, the unfortunate reality was that no city could be lost.
After he finished speaking, the large reception room fell silent, and everyone's brows were furrowed tightly.
The first to break the silence was Qin Lüshu.
The young man sighed, "I never imagined that we were already trapped in someone else's game. What is this, a new 'Battle of Glory'?"
“The Lord of the Abyss is exceptionally powerful, far surpassing the Lord of Chaos,” Bishop Yorkshire said with a bitter expression. “But Lord Dilis has already become a god and can no longer descend upon the Continent of Elements.”
Having signed a soul pact with the Abyss Apostle, he is now completely inseparable from Joshua.
Ever since he sincerely confessed to Tilis under the guidance of His Holiness the Pope, he has finally been able to counteract the pain inflicted on his soul by constantly reciting sacred proverbs in his heart.
"But the current situation on the Zhuyuan Continent is incomparable to that of the Second Dynasty at its peak," Sid stated calmly. "Whether it's technology, the situation, or the number of strong individuals... looking back from eight hundred years in the future, we have actually been declining all along."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Xie said with concern, "Right now, Bili is vulnerable in its defenses. While the vast mudflats can hold off a large human army, they are probably powerless against the power of the abyss."
"Don't worry, old man. Just stay here in Alchemy City with Xiao Qin and do your own thing." Richard glanced indifferently at the black-clad swordsman beside him. "Leave the fighting to us."
Xie Mulang nodded quickly and replied, "If Brother Yun and the others are going to Moonflower, then Richie and I will return to Bili."
“Then I’ll be all alone here,” Sid sighed softly.
Seeing that everyone was looking over, the alchemist suddenly smiled and said, "Oh dear, the atmosphere is too heavy. Just kidding. Before you all leave, take a communication conch shell with you. I just finished improving it and need to test the data."
Compared to relying on unreliable sources of information such as informants and caravans, the invention of alchemy could indeed break through the limitations of time and space, allowing them to keep abreast of the movements of the continent.
Looking at Sid, who had lost even more weight, Yun Wei felt a pang of sadness. "Sid, if we all leave, what will happen to Alchemy City..."
"It's alright, the magic turrets standing in the city aren't just for show." Sid waved his hand. "Little Yunwei, stop being so sentimental, or I'll really cry."
The Grand Duke of Bethlehem gently patted the back of his hand and earnestly said to everyone, "Gentlemen, this journey is perilous; please take care."
Isaac was the first to stand up and asked Yun Wei, "Shall we set off now?"
Yun Wei gave his follower a deep look and finally nodded slowly.
The days of comfort were too short; he had to grow increasingly accustomed to this never-ending battle.
...
The six people who were about to embark on a long journey soon arrived outside the Alchemy City.
Richard's silver eyes flickered. "If I fly there, it will only take me half a day. Take some time to rest, Yun Wei."
After saying that, he prepared to transform into a dragon on the spot.
But just then, a nightingale-like cry suddenly rang out: "Too slow."
Joshua stretched out his index finger and slowly waved it in the air, commenting, "To think they'd fly over so slowly... that's too slow."
Richard immediately narrowed his eyes. "You bastard, are you looking for trouble?"
The show-off Prince Silver Dragon had long harbored resentment towards His Holiness the Pope, who always stole his thunder.
Moreover, the other party has been withdrawn these past few days, locking himself in the newly built prayer room all day.
Even Xiao Qin created many frightening stories based on the eerie cries that occasionally came from the crack in the door.
"I'm just stating the facts," Joshua blinked innocently and shrugged. "We can teleport directly from the nearby cathedral to St. Lucy's Church!"
Upon hearing this, the Bishop of Yorkshire immediately praised him, "Truly worthy of the incomparably wise King Joshua!"
Yun Wei couldn't help but exclaim "Ah!" in surprise.
Speaking of teleportation arrays, he recalled the time when Isaac teleported him back to the academy from near Amberfield.
At that moment, Yun Wei heard his knight speak.
Isaac sighed softly, "I have to admit, before becoming a god, Dilis was indeed a very powerful magician. He was especially skilled in light magic and spatial magic."
Even this usually composed knight has personally confirmed it, so what else could anyone doubt?
Richard couldn't help but let out a soft snort, temporarily admitting defeat.
All that remained along the way was the incessant chatter of the Bishop of Yorkshire, occasionally interspersed with Joshua's comments.
The old bishop was quite ashamed that he had made everyone walk for so long.
After all, the Kingdom of Golden Cloud is a sinful land that God's grace cannot shine upon. Hundreds of years have passed, and the cathedral still has not had the opportunity to move into Alchemy City.
"You are truly remarkable, sir. You persuaded the new Grand Duke of Gilded Cloud so quickly, spreading the divine grace of our Lord throughout the lands of the Golden Cloud Kingdom." Yorkshire was genuinely impressed by this.
Perhaps in his lifetime, he will finally be able to move into that incredibly wealthy Alchemy City.
Joshua curled his lips into a smile, seemingly nonchalant: "Not at all, it's just a deal. After that, I'll have to trouble you to deal with those stubborn old nobles."
It sounds like Joshua and Sid have reached some kind of agreement. Yun Wei thought to himself after listening intently for a while.
No wonder Sid treated the other party with courtesy from the very beginning.
Thinking about this, he had to admit in his heart that Master Sid was someone he could look up to.
The other party is always able to rationally clarify the pros and cons and make judgments that are acceptable to both parties to the greatest extent possible.
This is even if the other party's interest is not in this area.
If the other party hadn't been so engrossed in invention and creation, not only the Golden Cloud Kingdom, but the entire Zhuyuan Continent would probably be adorned with the glittering jewels of the gilded family.
Honestly, compared to Sid, he was far too emotional.
That makes it seem very immature.
At this moment, Yun Wei suddenly realized how much his friends favored him.
What he didn't know was—
In the eyes of the alchemist, he was also an indispensable source of comfort for the other person in an unbearable life.
He was lost in thought when Joshua suddenly asked, "Yunwei, what are you thinking about now?"
The other person's gray eyes were unfathomable. Even though His Holiness the Pope did not speak, Yun Wei knew that the other person was saying that his eyes were not quite right.
He really shouldn't have hidden his feelings in his eyes.
Yun Wei pursed his lips and casually made up a story: "I was thinking that people from your sect seem to be very talkative."
“Not entirely.” Joshua looked towards the distant east, his tone wistful. “There are also those who are taciturn, and you will soon meet them.”
