Chapter 504: Revisiting the Holy City
No!!!"
Awakened by this nightmare, Owen suddenly sat up from the bed and found a large amount of sweat soaking the back of his pajamas.
Since Owen rarely got up later than usual, Teresa came to the door of his bedroom and was about to knock on the door when she heard the scream.
"What happened?"
After hurriedly opening the door, Teresa found that Owen had just woken up, so she walked over and sat beside the bed, held his right hand, and asked softly.
"What's wrong? Is it a nightmare?"
"Well, yes, it was a terrible dream."
Realizing that he was just dreaming, Owen raised his left hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Then you must be too busy recently."
Seeing this, Teresa also took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from Owen's face.
"Why don't you take a good rest today? I'm very worried when I see you like this."
Turning to look at Teresa, Owen remembered that she was also a person with magic power. After the plan to destroy the gods was successful, she would die in pain like him in a state of depletion of magic power.
Thinking of this, Owen couldn't help but move over, opened his arms and hugged Teresa.
"Eh? What's wrong again?"
Theresa was shocked by Owen's initiative, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.
Feeling the other person's soft body, Owen said with a little reluctance: "It would be great if we could live normally."
It would be great if there was some way to eliminate the gods while ensuring that the magic power would not disappear.
Unfortunately, magic is a creation of the gods, and the two are closely related. If the gods are eliminated, the magic will inevitably disappear.
"What are you talking about? We will definitely survive. With all the preparations we have made, our People's Army will definitely be able to defeat the undead army of the Khaz Tuts."
Thinking that Owen was feeling uneasy about the undead army heading south, Teresa got out of this warm embrace and looked at him with gentle eyes.
"You are our king. Everyone - including me - is looking at you and believes that you can lead us to victory. I know that you are under heavy pressure now. If you feel overwhelmed, you can always contact us.
Let me talk and I am willing to share the pressure with you."
"Teresa."
Hearing these words, Owen was very moved. He couldn't help but reach out and hold the other person's hands, and solemnly promised: "After this crisis, I will definitely marry you officially and hold a grand wedding in Dawn City."
To be honest, can I live to fulfill this promise? Irving no longer cares. The most important thing is to tell the other party his feelings clearly.
Faced with Owen's sudden proposal of marriage, Teresa's cheeks instantly turned red and hot, she lowered her head shyly and responded in a low voice.
"Um."
Suddenly thinking of someone, Theresa then raised her head and reminded: "By the way, don't forget Mapel."
"Of course not." Owen said firmly, "I will also be responsible for her to the end."
At the same time, the Mapel man was leaning against the wall outside the door, and she heard the conversation between the two people in the room from beginning to end.
...
In the early morning of two days later, Owen said goodbye to everyone in the castle courtyard, equipped himself with lava armor, took off and accelerated towards the Holy City, where he was invited to meet the new pope.
The lava armor flew at full speed extremely fast, and it only took Owen about two hours to fly over the east gate of the Holy City.
Looking towards the center of the city, you can clearly see a burning golden flame - the Fire of Faith - on the top of the highest tower of the Central Cathedral.
Of course, Owen knew that the flame was actually fake, and that the real fire of faith was hidden deep underground in the cathedral.
Considering that the magic of faith is now ineffective, Owen speculates that the situation of the true fire of faith may not be optimistic, and may have been extinguished.
In addition to the fake fire of faith, there was something else that caught Owen's attention, and that was the huge object hovering over the West Gate.
The main body of the object is made of wood, with multiple sails on it, and it looks like a huge ship.
What’s even more surprising is that it actually has the ability to take off and fly!
As a magician, Owen can feel the fluctuations of magic power emitted by the flying warship, which is obviously the product of the application of some advanced magic stone technology.
I wonder which country on this continent has such advanced magic stone technology?
The first thing that came to Owen's mind was - the Sorcerer Kingdom of Bigris.
Unexpectedly, the Sorcerous Kingdom of Bigris would be able to create such a powerful aerial weapon, once again proving that it is the absolute leader in the field of magic stone technology research, and other countries can only fall behind.
But recalling the conversation with Winston not long ago, Owen couldn't help but sigh.
"Alas - it's a pity that no matter how high your magical achievements are, you are still at the mercy of the gods."
Forget it, don't think about it for now. Since the flying warship of the Sorcerous Kingdom of Bigris is here, it means that the current Sorcerer King Hoyle Douglas is also in the Holy City.
From this point of view, this time should be a meeting between the rulers of the Holy Kingdom of Caleb, the Sorcerous Kingdom of Bigris and the Kingdom of Dawn.
Even though its influence has weakened, the Holy Theocracy of Caleb is still the most influential religious country at present, with believers spread all over the world.
The Sorcerous Kingdom of Bigris is the country with the highest magical attainments and the most advanced magic stone technology today.
The Kingdom of Dawn is a superpower that has risen rapidly in recent years, and its national comprehensive strength is the well-deserved number one among all countries.
There is no doubt that these three countries are the three most important forces in dealing with this crisis.
"King of Wells."
The person who was ordered to come to greet Owen was Angelica, who flew over on a Pegasus.
"You are finally here, please follow me down."
"Yeah." Owen nodded.
Under the leadership of Angelica, Owen flew directly to the door of the Central Cathedral.
As soon as he died, Owen ordered Alpha to take back the lava armor, reveal his true identity, and then followed Angelica into the cathedral.
On the way to the reception room, Angelica told Owen that the Sorcerer King of the Sorcerous Kingdom of Bigris was also here, and today was a tripartite meeting.
Owen, who already knew it, just responded casually and acted very calmly.
Entering the reception room, Owen met the new Pope Freya Lutis Layef XXIV and the Sorcerer King Hoyle Douglas.
After a while of greetings, Irving came to the conference table and sat on the seat representing the Kingdom of Morning Light. The three-party talks officially started.
Since this meeting was initiated by the Holy Theocracy of Caleb, Freya was the first to speak.
"I believe that both the Sorcerer King and the King of Wells know that we are facing a major crisis." She glanced at the two of them with a serious face, "If we don't handle it well, there will be a river of blood."
