"Thunder Hell", Fernando's Chamber of Secrets.
The life talisman suddenly became transparent, blooming with a clean brilliance, and a section of blood-stained intestines twisted and wriggled and split and grew, and it took a full hour for the Storm Lord to change back to his original form, and then it took another two hours for his strength to slowly return to the level of the Legendary Third Order.
Putting on the usual bright red magic robe, and inlaid a strange prosthetic eye that looked like a vortex in the center of the storm into the left eye socket, Fernando opened the node of the "Thunder Hell" to connect with the outside world, not that he did not trust Douglas, Hathaway, Lucien and others, but the most basic vigilance of a legendary magician who has lived for thousands of years.
The node opened, and within half a minute, the light of the teleportation array lit up, and Lucien's figure appeared in the Thunder Hell.
"Come back so early," Fernando smirked, "I thought you'd have a good celebration with Natasha." ” Even Lucien was very accustomed to the teacher's impropriety, and his face was a little red: "Prince Patrick was killed by order of the old king, Natasha was not in a good mood, I comforted her for a while, and then His Excellency the Nightmare King sent Archduke Vaorit over, their father and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time, and I was also worried about how you recovered, so I rushed back." ” "What is there to worry about, I can go out and fight the saints of the church again."
Fernando once again showed his stormy momentum, and then shook his head, "It's not too strange for this kind of thing to happen in the royal family, the little girl still has too little knowledge. ” Seeing that Lucien was so leisurely and could go into the Palace of Nexer to comfort Natasha, he naturally understood that the short war was over, and the result was good, so he didn't wait to ask.
Lucien still looked at Fernando with some concern: "Teacher, how do I think you are more injured than the Holy Avenger, as if you have stepped back a step" It's good that Fernando doesn't show his momentum, but as soon as he shows it, Lucien senses that something is wrong.
"The trauma on the soul has spread a little bit here, but it's only temporary, and it will be recovered in a year or two."
Fernando first said it well, and suddenly blew his beard and glared, "Although Melmos's strength is stronger than mine, I will not be more seriously injured than him in my complete state This time, I didn't bring two legendary items, and the puppet puppets, doppelganger mirrors and other one-time surname items prepared in advance on my body were also used to entangle the five saints, and the defensive legendary magic was completely broken by them, so I was more seriously injured." ” This is also the reason why he also felt that he could escape with injuries in the face of the Pope when he was in the third order, after all, there are many legendary items and legendary magic of life-saving defense.
The Ancient Magic Empire has summarized some things that cannot be explained by existing arcane theories for the time being according to the fall of many legendary magicians, such as the Sword of Truth can directly kill the soul, and kill all the fragmented soul fragments along the mysterious connection, such as when the pure violent energy attack exceeds a certain limit, the destruction of the main soul will also hurt the soul fragments in the resurrection device in some mysterious way, if the energy goes up to a higher level, and the mage does not make an effective defense, It will even lead to a complete fall.
Ancient magicians named it "causal line damage", which is equivalent to some of the principles of curses, and no one has yet been able to study the truth thoroughly.
As for the situation of the "Eternal Blazing Sun" explosion center, the current view of the Supreme Council is that too much energy will affect time and space, causing confusion in the causal line, so it will cut the weight, afraid of killing Fernando together.
Lucien didn't quite believe in this explanation, but for the time being, he couldn't think of any other reason, the research in the soul realm was still far behind.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Lucien knew that the teacher had always been a magician with strong self-esteem and never praised others, so of course he nodded in agreement and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, in order to trap the five saints this time, the council has really used all the years of accumulation, and it may not be possible to use this suicidal method to achieve miraculous results in the future." ” Puppet puppets and doppelganger mirrors are equivalent to scrolls in the legendary realm, which are much rarer than alchemy items of the same level, the materials required are more rare, and the refining failure rate is higher, and even the magic council, an organization famous for alchemy, has only three pieces in total, all of which belong to the legendary magician puppet puppet is contributed by Douglas, and the mirror of the doppelganger is Fernando's treasure.
"If you want your own people to lose less, in addition to planning carefully, preparing for various emergencies, and taking the initiative to fight passively, you must also be willing to use items and scrolls to smash at critical moments, and if you don't want to spend money, you will die" Fernando looked like he was rich, but the unquiet storm in his eyes betrayed his heart, "If there is no doppelganger realm and puppet puppets, I will bring the robe of the Lord and sacrifice it to entangle the five saints at that time, but in this way, the council will have to compensate me with a legendary item." ” Basically, except for strange things like Lucian, legendary items are only owned by legendary powerhouses, but the Magic Council has also organized many operations to explore the half-plane of ancient magicians, and found the relics of those legendary mages who died due to various unexpected encounters.
The Legendary Items obtained and the Legendary Items commissioned by the Precious Materials obtained are in the public possession of the Council, and are held by the Grand Arcanist on duty in Alinge, and can be exchanged for those who have made special contributions to the Council or amassed a large amount of wealth, and members of the Supreme Council can borrow one for a certain price when they go out or go on adventures.
Such a public legendary item is currently four, and the high exchange price is too high for even legendary magicians to bear, and there are only two situations in which special contributions are recognized, one is the kind in Fernando's mouth, and the other is that the confirmed era-changing arcane theory system Fernando's robe of domination was obtained in this way, and a hundred years ago, when a few grand arcanists emerged at once, the legendary items of the council were almost not enough, with the development of the alien space in recent decades, the rare materials obtained have increased, after suffering several failures, Only then did the creator and the master alchemy each refine a piece to fill it.
Lucien deeply experienced the feeling of smashing people to death with money, although the church was far richer than the council, but it was still too far behind in alchemy.
Fernando didn't say anything else, and asked about the outcome of the battle: "How many of the five saints fell, and what was the final result?"
Lucien described what had happened, and Fernando snorted coldly as he listened, saying that if it weren't for Melmos, all four saints would have died.
After speaking, Fernando frowned slightly and said: "It's good that one of our legends hasn't fallen, but it's a bit weird that the new pope will climb to the god-like level at once, if the pope is sure that he has the favor of the god of truth, why doesn't he directly kill all the magicians present Since they have all descended divine graces, it is also very simple to have another divine punishment." ” In the past, popes died at the end of their lives, and there was plenty of time to select and train their successors, and even then, it would take at least a year for a new pope to become godlike.
"Well, if the Pope is really the earthly spokesman of the God of Truth and can get divine grace, then what is the splintered Northern Church and the State Church of Holm that can still perform divine magic, and why can the Pope still use divine magic" Lucien also expressed his own questions.
Fernando pondered: "I think of something wrong, the new Pope is at the peak of legend in a year, so why have several god-like beings never tried to seize such an opportunity in the past few hundred years, the defense of the holy city of Reims can stop one god-like, but not two." ” Lucien shook his head, if he asked Yinyue about this kind of thing, he would definitely not get an answer.
The Holy City of Reims, the Hall of Light.
Anasta, who had not yet officially taken office, stood in front of the remaining members of the Cardinal Council with the platinum scepter, and said sadly: "The Magic Council colluded with the Abyssal Demons to try to destroy the world, but fortunately, His Majesty the Pope sacrificed himself, practiced the Lord's way, repelled the Abyssal Will, and saved countless pure souls.
I will carry on his legacy and destroy evil once and for all."
This is to set the name and propaganda for this event, the four countries of the Strait and the Northland coastal corridor have been lost, the base must be secured, and a pope who sacrifices himself to save the world must be happy for the faithful.
Melmos looked around him, and his heart was saddened, two of the eight saints fell, one betrayed and died, one became the pope, and only half were left, and the ordinary Holy Spirit priest fell and three were missing, and there were only sixteen members of the entire cardinal order, but fortunately, there were still angel kings who were ready to stay on earth for a short time to help the church tide over the difficulties.
"We will carry on the papal legacy, and we will eradicate evil," the members of the Cardinal replied in unison, with a cross drawn on their chests, with a sense of grief. ” Anasta's voice became calm and solemn: "We have suffered great losses, but we must not lose faith because of this, this is the test of the Lord, and with the favor of the Lord, we will surely win the final victory."
Melmos, you go to Terrance and other Holy Spirit pastors and tell them that as long as they are willing to repent, the Lord will forgive their sins, they are blinded by Salder, they have just gone the wrong way for a while, and they can return to the Lord's presence, which is a gift from the Lord. ” Saying this in front of the members of the Cardinal Conference with the gift of the Lord is equivalent to truly forgiving Terrance and other Holy Spirit priests, even if they want to repent in the future, they have to take into account the problems that chill the entire Cardinal Conference, and Salde's last hole card is the will of the abyss, and it is difficult for these three Holy Spirit pastors to say how many secrets they know about him.
Melmos showed an expression of appreciation and whispered, "Follow the will of the Lord and your orders under the Pope's crown." ” Only by uniting the majority can we be relieved.
"I'm not a pope yet."
Anasta smiled, then turned and walked up the steps.
There were only seven steps, and when Anasta stepped onto the first step, an ethereal chant sounded.
Stepping on the second step, a faint holy light sprinkled down, making the Great Light Hall even brighter.
In the third step, countless angels of light appeared, surrounding Anasta.
In the fourth step, the whole holy city of Reims is enveloped in holy light, and all the faithful and clergy prostrate themselves and pray: "Let your way walk on the earth as in your kingdom." ” In the fifth step, there seemed to be a projection of Heavenly Mountain in the sky.
In the sixth step, a ray of light shone directly on Anasta.
Taking the seventh step, Anasta turned his back to the crowd and turned his back to the crowd, his face turned extremely pale, and his left hand trembled uncontrollably as if it were old and decayed, but everything quickly recovered, and he turned to face the members of the College of Cardinals, and raised his scepter.
At this moment, a majestic and divine voice descended from an inexplicable height: "Give you the holy name Benedict" Anasta respectfully drew a cross, and the voice resounded in the holy city of Reims: "From now on, I am Benedict III":
