Chapter XVIII: Assassination


The aura of danger flashed away, and it seemed to be Lucian's hallucination, but the "Ring of Congus" in his left hand reminded him that there was indeed a strong man approaching just now.

"Lucien" Afrith saw Lucien staying there, and was about to speak, but was stopped by the gesture of pressing down with his right hand, so he stared at translucent eyes for unknown reasons.

In this sensitive situation, there are still people who come to this small church located in the civilian area in the east of the city, what is his purpose?

After a while, Lucien could no longer sense the dangerous aura, so he said to Afrith with a secret communication technique with very little fluctuation: "Someone approached just now, at least high-level, and now it looks like he has infiltrated the Church of Redemption, let's wait, we can't let Richard have problems." ” Affreston was excited, and if there is an enemy, an enemy means victory, and victory means spoils Raising his paws, Afrith wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth.

Richard stood quietly in front of the cross, thinking about the conversation just now, the buds that had been hidden in his heart for more than 20 years seemed to gradually sprout under the sun, and the chaotic and contradictory ideas of the past were sorted out little by little, reshaping his own heart of faith.

At this moment, he prayed calmly and gropingly: "If such an interpretation of the holy scriptures is contrary to your teachings and will, then let the holy light devour me, it means that my faith is shaken by the fallen morning star, and I will surely fall into hell." ” Tick-tock, time is like water, minute by minute, Richard is slowly covered with a layer of divine and solemn light, like a saint who has received the grace of the gods, he raised his head, opened his eyes, painted a cross on his chest, his eyes were gentle and firm, and he whispered: "You are one, you are also ten thousand, you are the beginning, but also the end, I think I understand your teachings, God loves the world, redeems the world, the existence of religion is to defend the faith, not to block the faith, everyone has the right to receive revelation from the holy scriptures, as long as the heart is pious, Be able to receive the light of your spiritual surname. ” Richard's body and mind were happy, the dirt that had made him confused and confused for twenty or thirty years seemed to be evaporated one by one under the light of the Holy Light, and his faith became more and more firm and pious, and the strength that had been bottlenecked for decades seemed to touch the door of the ninth level.

"All these are your gifts, but the truth endures."

Richard painted a cross on the emblem on his chest.

In fact, from Lucian's point of view, with Richard's devotion to faith and his study of theology, if he hadn't been confused and wandering for a long time, he would have been promoted to the ninth level, and maybe he would have become a priest of the Holy Spirit and stepped into the realm of legends.

Richard got up from his seat and motioned for the pastors and bishops in the church to finish their prayers and leave, while he went to the nearby garden, breathing in the fresh evening air mixed with the scent of flowers, feeling the beauty of life, and contemplating the Reformation program he wanted to propose, all of which had been given by the God of truth.

"No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, no matter how oppressive it is by the Pope and the members of the Cardinals, I will complete the program, submit it to the Cardinal Conference, and disseminate it to the other clergy."

Richard did not have the ability to read the idea, and pinned his hopes on the reform within the church, when suddenly, he looked back and saw a cardinal in a bright red robe and a square hat smiling as he approached.

Richard recognized this as a man he had cultivated when he was at the helm of the Luntart Abbey, a cardinal who had previously been in charge of the Inquisition in the diocese of Holm.

Octave, a very dignified middle-aged man with thick black eyebrows and a pair of sharp pale blue eyes, smiled, "You should have heard about the recent incident, and I was a little wandering in my heart, so I thought of asking you for an explanation." ” "There is a grudge in the heart, so I will be blinded," Richard asked in the scriptures of the Holy Scriptures, with a kind expression that was very reassuring.

Octave drew a cross on his chest: "Yes, I fear that I have been blinded by resentment, that I have forgotten my original purpose of serving the Lord, and that I have been forsaken by the Lord, but, Mr.

Richard, is it not a betrayal of the teachings of the Lord that we allow evil to wander in front of us, and then tolerate it for various reasons."

"Because of faith, he feared the devil, ignored the flames, threw himself into the midst of the most dangerous enemies, and did not retreat" He also recited the scriptures of the Holy Scriptures, with a slightly questioning look on his face, questioning himself and the church.

Richard shook his head: "What is evil, what is the nobleman you executed, and where is evil" "He listens to mysteries, and he works with magicians to make money."

Octave's voice grows higher.

Richard pointed to the holy book in his hand: "The Lord only tells us, do not be greedy, do not lie, do not indulge, do not be indifferent to life, do not fill your heart with pain and hatred, what did that nobleman not do" "He lied, weaved lies, and collaborated with magicians."

Octave replied subconsciously.

Richard smiled: "Those who lie will not be able to ascend to the heavenly mountain, wandering the earth, being hurt by thunder and lightning and flames, this is the Lord's punishment for them, and he has not said that he can ignore their lives." ” "He works with magicians and listens to the Voice of Mysteries" Octave didn't understand Richard's thoughts.

Richard said calmly, "The Holy Book does not say that you cannot cooperate with a magician, as long as the magician is not an evil person who violates the teachings of the Holy Codex. ” "How can it not be the evil one, on the canon," Octave recited the contents of the canon.

Richard looked at him with a smile, and saw that he stopped talking before saying: "Since you are following the canon, you have to consider the wishes and ideas of the church, why do you have resentment?"

Octave said with a happy face: "Yes, it is not the church that complains, not the canon, but the crown and your Excellency who have violated the original intention of the faith and repeatedly revised the canon, they have turned away from the Lord and can no longer effectively spread the faith of the Lord, Mr.

Richard, haven't you always disliked the papal crown and their revision of the canon, I hope you can stand up and appeal to the other clergy of the diocese of Holm, awaken their numb souls, and jointly propose to the Pope that the original canon be restored." ” "What if His Holiness the Pope doesn't want to," Richard had just been through a lobbying experience, so he was very keenly aware of the oddity of Octave's words.

"If he doesn't want to, we'll elect a crown that is genuine, representative of the will of the Lord, and I think many members of the Cardinal Conference have a similar opinion," Octave said with a little excitement and fanaticism, "in my heart, you are such a candidate."

"Don't be taken advantage of, the right thing to do is to give back the right to interpret the Holy Scriptures to every devout believer, justified by faith," Richard shook his head and declined Octave's invitation.

Unexpectedly, Richard's ideas were more radical than his own, Octave was stunned for a moment, and then began to persuade again.

However, Richard, who had just strengthened his faith, was like a stone that could not be put into oil and salt, and he did not accept any opinions that did not conform to his own reform program.

Finally, Octave hung his head in frustration and said, "Then I'll take my leave, I hope you can figure it out in the future, and we welcome you to join us at any time." ” Our Richard frowned, seeing that Octave had turned away, and didn't say anything more.

As Octave stepped into the cloister, Richard continued to refine his reform program with his hands behind his back.

At the end of the corridor, Octave suddenly stopped, his face showing a hideous smile, and at some point there was a brown scroll containing terrifying power in his hand.

"The dead are often more easily exploited by the living, because he can't speak" "Richard, who died at the hands of a magician, is more likely to provoke conflict than Richard, who is alive" The scroll was torn open by him, and the power of the eternal flow suddenly exploded, and the area around Richard and his surroundings were immediately dyed with a gray of nothingness and dead silence, and under the magic of the Nine Rings "Time Stopped", it seemed as if everything was still.

Octave took out a black scroll and tore it open again, and the surging and inexplicable magical power rushed towards Richard, which would remove all the supernatural power effects below the legendary level on Richard's body, and even the legendary-level "artifact" had a certain chance of destruction.

Nine Rings Magic "Great Crack" Just as Octave took out the last magic scroll, the "Ultimate Destruction Orb", he suddenly saw a figure appear in front of him, pointing at him.

Bang bang, all the magic items on Octave's body were shattered, the cardinal's robe turned into different colored points of light, and even the flesh "evaporated" a layer of "mist" composed of various elements.

Caught off guard, he was immediately injured, and his body and soul seemed to fall into stiffness.

Lucian's "Elemental Order" is more perfect after the new alchemy preliminarily explains the outer electron exchange, and the power is increased again, and it has the effect of almost nine rings when used with the strength of the seven rings.

Although the magic array of the "Church of Redemption" covered most of the magic fluctuations, Lucian, who was close at hand, still recognized the magic of the nine rings, so he came to the rescue, but because he would definitely break through the barrier of the magic array with legendary magic, the legendary powerhouses of Rentatt sensed it, so he did not use it.

And Octave's wasteful use of two nine-ring scrolls made Lucian hateful, high-level scrolls are much rarer than alchemy items, because there are not many materials that can carry high-level magic, and even fewer are suitable for writing scrolls, and how can a scroll with a surname be compared to alchemy items that can be used repeatedly, unless it can only be made into scrolls, otherwise magicians would rather find more materials to refine items, even Lucian This "monopoly" now has no high-level and above scrolls, Octave is literally smashing people with money Lucien pointed his hand again, and was about to use the spell spell to lower Octave's magic resistance, and then use petrification to make a statue of him, and bring him back to torture slowly.

At this moment, a figure suddenly burst out of the shadows, and the long sword in his hand slashed at Lucien, who was caught off guard, with the smell of eliminating extraordinary power.

Octave even has a companion, the Celestial Knight with the "Elimination" bloodline Moreover, he was also an "acquaintance" of Lucian, who was once the captain of the night watch at the Aalto Inquisition, Lund For some reason, Lund, who had been promoted to the sixth level of heavenly knighthood, recognized Lucian's identity, and with his will, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, and he was finally going to kill this hateful enemy He believed that under his elimination bloodline, Lucian's spell trigger ratio would be lifted The long sword slashed at Lucian, but it was like a bubble, and Lucian's handsome face slowly dissipated with a strange smile.

"Oops, illusion" Lund's heart tightened, and he hurriedly returned to his sword for defense, and a behemoth suddenly appeared behind him, translucent amber eyes looked at him intently and seriously, his mouth opened, and a cold and paralyzing dragon breath spewed out.

The coercion from the top creatures made Lund lose his mind slightly.

Beside Octave, Lucien's figure appeared, rushing towards the eighth-level cardinal who had just come to his senses.

Octave recognized that Lucien had used "Bale's Transformation Technique", and subconsciously sneered in his heart, a magician transformed into a heavenly knight, isn't this a short and a strong point So, he laid a magic defense in front of him, ready to block this attack, and then launched a counterattack, as long as he could escape, slandering Richard for colluding with the "fallen angels".

His left hand clenched into a fist and swung it out fiercely, and the faint silver moonlight mixed with black, white and gray flickered, and Octave's eyes widened, and he was stunned to see that his defense was shattered like paper under the bombardment of Lucian's left fist.

"What is this?"

"Am I dreaming?"

In shock, Octave was hit in the side by Lucien's left fist, and immediately his teeth flew and blood spurted wildly, and he fainted directly.

If it weren't for Lucien's timely stop, this punch would have made his brain and blood fly together, milky white and dark red
