Under Caesar's order, the members of the Holy Light and Mythril Society opened the door to the treasure room, and powerful magic instantly poured out, like a stream of heat, making people dizzy.
"Führer, all magic circles have been closed."
"good."
Caesar looked at Levin: "Please, Mr. Felix."
Without being polite, Levin strode into the treasure room. He had been to the treasure room of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, which was completely different from that of the Church of Abundance. If the treasure room of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny was a spiral staircase darkroom,
, the treasure room of the Cult of Abundance is the shrine embedded in the stone wall.
"The Roman Cathedral was originally a huge rock on the top of a mountain, which was hollowed out by craftsmen and built into an integrated secret chamber." The members of the Holy Light Mithril Society saw that Levin was a little curious, so they explained.
"uncanny workmanship."
Admiring in his heart, Levin turned his attention to the holy objects placed in the niche. As the former headquarters of the Apocalypse God System, the Church of Abundance is the church that has inherited the most legacies of the Apocalypse God System and also has the most relics of saints.
In the lower niche, Levin saw many well-preserved weapons, which were the holy objects equipped by the Demon Hunter and Holy Light Mithril. Although rare, they were still common. As they continued up, bone hands began to appear.
Strange things like coffins sealed with iron chains, and even babies soaked in clay pots...
"These are extremely dangerous sacred objects and require the best to use or suppress them."
Not all relics of saints are safe, because they contain powerful spirituality and are often dangerous to use. Only humans with the same spirituality and strong souls can use them.
Soul and spirituality are not the same substance. A person with a strong soul may not necessarily have a strong soul, but a person with a lot of spirituality must have a strong soul.
Levin kept walking up to the top, but he didn't find the white candle he wanted. However, he saw several empty niches, and the nameplates below had a line of letters he didn't recognize.
After silently writing down the letters, Levin pointed to a dry branch placed in a niche and said, "That's it."
"The branches of the World Tree..."
Caesar glanced at the bishop beside him, who looked surprised: "What you want is the remains of the World Tree?"
of course not.
What Levin wants is the trance white candle.
But he walked around the treasure room and found nothing. It seemed that the White Candle of Tongshen was not kept here.
If you think about it carefully, this is actually true. The White Candle is different from ordinary holy objects. With its existence, you can recall the lost Kingdom of God. How terrible is this?
You can only become stronger by obtaining other holy objects, but by obtaining the White Candle, you can shake the foundation of the Apocalypse God System!
Holy Light Mithril will pursue the Kingdom of Romanov to recapture the White Candle that was stolen by Jinna. The behavior of ignoring artifacts such as the Scale of Sin and the True Pocket Watch is enough to prove the importance of the White Candle.
.
The real pocket watch can be thrown away, the scale of sin can be thrown away, the white candle that communicates with gods... No!
As for the branches of the World Tree, Levin just pointed at him and picked one that didn't look so dangerous.
"What are the branches of the World Tree?" Caesar asked.
"It is a relic of the previous era..." the bishop replied: "Asgard's World Tree has withered, but as a World Tree, even a broken branch contains powerful spirituality and is very precious."
"Does it have any special function?"
"this..."
The bishop thought for a long time and slowly shook his head: "Although it contains powerful spirituality, we have been unable to use it, so we kept it."
"It seems that Mr. Felix has chosen a very valuable treasure."
Caesar clasped his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "I think the treasure you selected can be traded. Now, let me hear your bid."
"In addition to an alchemy puppet, the Manstein Potion Company will sell mercury blood to the Roman Republic at an after-tax price of 50 gold pounds per ounce. The price will remain unchanged for three years."
As a stock-holding director of Manstein Potion Company, Levine was authorized by Mavey, who told him the lowest price before coming.
"Five years." Caesar said: "The contract lasts for five years, and there is no quantity limit. The quality must be first-class, and inferior products cannot appear... I think the pre-tax price of 50 gold pounds/ounce is very suitable."
Manstein Potion Company never sells fake and shoddy products. This is Mavey's consistent business purpose, and the lowered price is within Levin's acceptance range.
"No problem, just follow what the head of state said."
"Welcome to Rome, Mr. Felix."
Caesar lifted up his robe and stretched out his palm towards him: "It is such a pleasure to do business with you."
"It's my pleasure, Führer."
After finishing speaking, Levin pretended to be casual and asked: "What are these empty spaces? I see there is a nameplate underneath. Were any sacred objects stored in it before?"
Caesar didn't understand the reason, so he could only ask the bishop aside to answer the question.
"The treasure room of our Abundance God Cult stores a large amount of treasures. Mr. Felix must have also felt that the higher you go, the higher the quality of the treasures. The few empty grids you mentioned..."
The bishop sighed: "To be honest, two years ago, a supernatural creature sealed under the church escaped. It invaded the treasure room and stole sacred objects including the real pocket watch, the scale of sin and the white candle.
Fleeed to the Romanov Kingdom..."
"I've heard about this." Levin looked astonished: "That extraordinary creature is called Jinna, right? She also summoned the golden gods to return..."
"Yes, that is the shame of the Cult of Abundance." The bishop said: "If it weren't for her, the Church of Truth would have been attacked long ago, and it would not be possible to survive today. We even lost the two artifacts of the True Pocket Watch and the Scale of Sin...
.”
Because Jinna summoned the Golden Gate and forced the Goddess of Destiny, Anatole and other gods of faith to take action, the theft of the White Candle was no longer a secret. Levin knew about it and did not arouse suspicion.
"It seems like it's not that safe here."
Levin looked around: "After that incident, did you move all the valuables?"
"That's right, we sent the treasure..."
Just when the bishop was about to reveal the whereabouts of the White Candle, Caesar suddenly interrupted: "Mr. Felix, it's getting late. I think you are in a hurry to sign the contract. How about we return to the palace now and sign the contract?"
"
Levin glanced at Caesar, smiled and nodded: "....Okay."
After signing the contract, it was already evening. After declining Caesar's invitation to have dinner, Levin returned to the hotel where he was staying. As soon as he entered the door, he said angrily: "If it wasn't Caesar! I've already tricked him out!"
Kovalev also regretted this: "There is no way around it. After all, the other party is Caesar, the famous dictator... his sense of smell is too sensitive."
If the White Candle is not in the treasure room of a Roman cathedral, where else could it be?
Xiao Hei had no clue. He visited the churches in Rome today and saw countless ordinary candles, but none of them were useful.
The only promising treasure room has been ruined!
What kind of broken branch was replaced...
It doesn't matter if you exchange the body of the alchemy puppet for something. It doesn't matter what you exchange for. The key is whether you can find out the key information.
Without knowing where the White Candle is hiding, Levine cannot act. No matter how powerful the Phantom Thief is, he still has to know where his target is!
Just when Levin was a little overwhelmed and thinking about countermeasures, a strange visitor broke the deadlock.
There was a knock on the door. Levin thought it was room service and asked Kovalev to deal with it. Unexpectedly, he opened the door and found a red-eyed crow standing outside.
The crow held a piece of paper in its mouth. After opening the door, it jumped into the room. As Levin watched, he put the piece of paper in his hand.
"Heaven...Temple?"
When Levin read the words on the paper, the paper suddenly burned, burst into blazing green fire, and turned into ashes. The red-eyed crow fluttered its wings and flew out of the window, disappearing into the dusk.
The ancient gods gave them instructions.
"Damn it! Why do these bastards always linger?"
Levin cursed. He really couldn't stand the elusive behavior of the ancient god forces. They had been following them since New Ross City. No matter what they did, they had spies.
If the ancient god forces have the idea of harming them, I'm afraid they won't get much benefit.
Ma Wei didn't look good when he heard about this, but he wasn't that surprised.
Obviously, the Ancient God forces knew about their actions, had been monitoring them, and were secretly helping them. In the past, Ma Wei didn't understand why the Ancient God forces did this, but he found the answer not long ago.
It turned out that there were three ancient gods beside him.
Not only Asis, but also Belial and Arabi. Thinking about it this way, it’s not surprising that the ancient god’s forces helped them.
If Clara, who is the main god of gold, can feel the aura contaminated by his soul, then Buggy and Odin must also be able to, but neither of them expressed it, which is very strange.
Is it because they don't want to say it, or... they dare not say it?
Ma Wei did not have an answer to this question for the time being, and he had to admit that the ancient god forces had indeed helped them a lot this time.
Temple of Heaven.
The Tongshen White Candle is most likely hidden there.
The kingdom of heaven is the kingdom of Seraphina, the goddess of fertility, and the temple is her habitat.
There is no safer place than your immediate surroundings.
"How can you steal this!"
Levin now has two heads on one head: "Even if Serafina is not a fighting God of Faith, she is also a God of Faith who has awakened three times. With the White Candle beside her, it is impossible to steal it!"
If it was a church treasure room, Levin would definitely have entered it without saying a word, but now there is trouble. The White Candle is hidden next to Seraphina. Not to mention the Rose Phantom Thief, it is his father Lily Phantom Thief and his grandfather Narcissus Phantom Thief.
Climbing out of the grave, even three generations of grandparents can't steal it!
Gods have absolute control over their own kingdom, just like Merlin can refuse Budge to enter. In their own kingdom, gods are supreme. They can understand everything that happens in the kingdom of God, even if it is just a slight disturbance.
If someone invades, they will sense it immediately.
The premise is that they are in the Kingdom of God.
This is also the most difficult place to steal the White Candle.
"There is still a chance."
Ma Wei comforted: "I said, I will summon Buggy's Kingdom of God to return and attract other gods of faith to stop it. As long as Serafina leaves the Kingdom of God, he will not be able to detect the intruder. You take this opportunity to steal
The white candle that communicates with the gods."
"Brother, the difficulty is a bit high..."
"There is no other way. I believe you."
"..."
It's a good thing to be trusted by others, but Levin would rather Mavey question him at the moment.
"President, I can accompany you." Kovalev said.
"...Forget it, there's no point in going."
Levin took a deep breath and understood that there was no turning back now: "If I can't steal back the White Candle, it won't help if you go."
"Brother, when will you summon Buggy's kingdom?"
"the day after tomorrow."
The day after the action date was finalized, Levin accepted Caesar's invitation and went to the Colosseum to watch the extraordinary creatures fight.
When Caesar appeared in the stands, the audience burst into violent cheers. Everyone was shouting Caesar's name, but Caesar just stood there, wearing an olive wreath on his head and a white robe, raising his hand towards them.
Just the right hand.
Suddenly, it felt like I was back in Rome's heyday.
The gladiatorial fight began. On one side was the porcupine that Levin had seen, and on the other was the nine-eyed giant with giant blood. The two sides fought fiercely, and blood and flesh flew everywhere in an instant.
While admiring the battle below, Caesar picked up a green grape and put it into his mouth: "Mr. Felix, did you have a good rest last night?"
"Very good. Thank you very much, Head of State, for your concern."
Nodding slightly, Caesar asked again: "Your Excellency seems to be very interested in those transferred treasures."
"...just curious."
"Is it really just curiosity?" Caesar turned his head, looked at Levin's side face and said, "Because of curiosity, you have developed a strong interest in the transferred treasures, but the purpose of your trip, the branches of the World Tree,
Your Excellency, however, seems to have only a mediocre interest..."
Such keen observation made Levin's heart thump. He finally understood what kind of monsters Ma Wei usually dealt with. Even if there were only some insignificant flaws, they would be infinitely magnified in the eyes of these monsters!
Caesar is a monster among monsters!
"Your silence is truly deafening..."
Caesar smiled and looked back: "If I'm not wrong, you have another purpose for this trip, why don't you say it frankly? Maybe I can clear up your confusion and help you a little."
Levin did not answer, even if it was a very rude behavior. He knew in his heart that when dealing with people like Caesar, silence is the best counterattack. They can only get a small amount of information from silence. Not speaking and not answering are often more stressful than being nervous.
good.
As for whether Caesar will break his face...
Levine doesn't think so.
Caesar needs him and needs the mercury blood produced by Manstein Potion Company. Without the mercury blood, Caesar's plan will be hindered. Compared with the development of the country, the holy objects are not that important. Which is more important?
Caesar knew the difference.
Levin also had to admit that this time...
It was Ma Wei who saved him again.
Because of his youth, he made a fatal mistake, and the reason why he is still sitting here is not because of Caesar's kindness, but because of the people standing behind him...
