Fernando subconsciously opened the storm barrier to prevent other legends from prying into it! Salde quickly said: "With other spells, I can't project into the barrier."
He didn't dare to leave the Glorious Cathedral in a big way and talk face to face with Fernando, Hathaway and other great arcane masters. That would be like "delivering goods to your door". Holy Spirit priests are not as versatile, unpredictable and difficult to kill as legendary magicians.
So Fernando and Hathaway teamed up to set up a lot of magic to prevent prying eyes. The seemingly empty and gentle sky lurked countless murderous intentions.
After doing all this, Fernando looked at the human figure condensed in the air with bright red eyes: "Do you want to cooperate with us, with the two of us, or with the parliament?"
When someone else can speak on her behalf, Hathaway has always been taciturn and stands quietly by the side, while Alfredo has been shielded from the surrounding area by Fernando from the beginning and cannot see them.
The figures in front of them could not hear the conversations between them.
This is not because Fernando does not trust it, but because it is still young and often reveals secrets unconsciously. Moreover, such shielding of perception is torture to others, but it has no effect on the dragon. Afris has already screamed
Wake up and float in the air with the help of Fernando's power.
Sard laughed and said, as warmly as when he preached: "The cooperation I want cannot be supported by the two of you alone. The Magic Council is obviously stronger than the Northern Heretics in terms of high-level strength and middle- and lower-level personnel, but it is
They can only shrink in cities such as Arlinge, Rentat, and Kux. They cannot join forces with the nobles like the northern heretics to control a huge empire and the many kingdoms and principalities that vassal it. There is no need to worry about the influence of the church within.
We only need to focus on the defense lines and fortresses, which simply doesn’t live up to its reputation as the second strongest force in all spaces.”
Fernando calmed down his momentum and said in a loud and authentic voice: "Because we have developed from weak to strong, unlike the Northern Church, which had some strength to compete with the Southern Church from the beginning, and obtained the full support of the northern nobles.
"The church has deployed one large, four small teleportation arrays and legendary magical barriers in five cities including Rentat and Kukes, ensuring that they can come to our rescue in time once we try to pull out the nails of the church on the Storm Strait side.
, turning a local war into a full-scale war, the losses at that time will need to be carefully considered by both sides, but I believe that with the development of the parliament, the situation will be greatly improved in ten years."
"Ten years, you mean the legendary promotion brought about by the new alchemy?" Salde asked the details calmly.
Hathaway interjected: "Yes, in ten years we can slightly improve this system and correct the mistakes in it."
"When the time comes, Hathaway will definitely be promoted to the pinnacle of legend. Laventi, Morris, Donald, Prado and other archmages of the elemental and alchemy factions who have been in the ninth ring for a long time will also be promoted to legend." Fernando said decisively,
Very confident, giving people the feeling of bragging to inspire confidence.
But he was more confident in his heart than on the surface. The reason why he didn't show it was to mislead Sald. No matter what Sald's purpose was, sending him some wrong information might have wonderful effects in the future. For people like them,
For high-ranking people, talking is also a kind of confrontation.
Sard smiled and said: "Lucien is really a wizard. The Magic Council in ten years will allow the church to weigh whether to lose more than half of the members of the Cardinals or to evacuate the countries across the Storm Strait. Originally, the Pope's Crown
It is expected to take at least sixty years, so there is no rush.”
Although the divine descending technique is terrifying, it can only be used once. If you can kill Douglas, why should you use it to kill Brooke and Hathaway?
At that time, as long as the two Grand Arcanists at the pinnacle of legends entangle the Pope, and the gap in the number of legends is narrowed, the remaining legendary magicians will inevitably make the Cardinals pay a heavy price. After all, the Southern Church is surrounded by enemies on all sides, so it is impossible
All legendary powerhouses are mobilized to besiege the Magic Council, unless some concessions and exchanges of interests can be made in exchange for the cooperation of the Northern Church and the Dark Council.
Of course, this possibility is slim, as the conflicts between the heretics are irreconcilable, and they will definitely not sit back and watch the strongest church swallow up the Magic Council without any loss. In that case, it won't be long before it is their turn.
"Ten years is not too far away. I don't know what kind of cooperation you want, Salde." Fernando said with a serious face.
Just now, he was following Hathaway's ten-year statement to describe the possible growth of the parliament's strength, but in fact, there is new alchemy, the mass-energy formula, and the two spells of "atomic fission" and "atomic fusion"
Even if he cannot completely master the reverse cracking of the model due to too much missing knowledge, he is still confident that he will be promoted to the peak of legend within one to two years. The same is true for Hathaway. And if Neutron is discovered in advance, Laventi, Donald, etc.
The possible promotion of the Archmage will also be brought forward. If the changes in the Magic Council are measured in ten years, there will definitely be a huge misjudgment.
Salder said calmly: "I can advance ten years to one year. In one year, you will be able to control the Kingdom of Holm, the Kingdom of Buriana, and the Northland Coastal Corridor just like the Northern Church occupied the Shahran Empire.
In the area across the Storm Strait, the frequency of assassinations and assassinations of magicians will be greatly reduced."
"His Majesty the Pope still has more than a year before he can resume the use of the Divine Art, unless he ignores the overdraft of his life, so one year is a good time point. When the time comes, I will close Lentat's teleportation array, and you will
There is no need to be afraid that members of the Cardinals will come to the rescue in time. It will take at least half an hour to jump from the holy city of Lance. I think you are strong enough to control the Kingdom of Holm and other places within this half hour.
, push the battle line forward to the Storm Strait."
There seemed to be a storm passing through Fernando's bright red pupils, indicating that he was not calm. Although Hathaway remained indifferent and cold, her focused eyes also expressed her concern.
For the Magic Council, if they want to control the other side of the Storm Strait, they must pull out the nail of the Glorious Cathedral. And the biggest problem in pulling out this nail is the super-large teleportation array within the magical circle. Due to the special nature of the magical barrier itself
, it is not affected by the external space anchor and is difficult to block in advance. But now, Salde actually said that he will close the lifeline of this church!
"What do you want to get from it? What about the cardinals from the other four dioceses and the epic knights from various countries?" Fernando controlled his irritable and eager emotions.
Sard snorted: "You should have made some progress in dissecting the false gods. The church has also investigated Lucien's affairs in the El God Cult. You must have received his report. What do I want? You haven't yet
Is it clear? I want to do what the Pope of the Northern Church did, split the church, reorganize a Holy See with my own ideas, and get closer to the great Lord.”
"The area across the Storm Strait is a good choice. I will reform the church's program, return the right to interpret the "Holy Scripture" to the public, and become the religion of truth for the nobles and every believer, and work with them
Completely combined together, in this way, there is essentially no difference between the church and the nobility that I control. It is the object that you can rely on and unite with, just like the northern church does with the nobility within them.
"For the epic knights and the nobles, this is an acceptable balance. Before the Southern Church is completely wiped out, you cannot abandon them and you will definitely respect them."
"What I am doing now is to use the radicals in Holm diocese to change the religious concepts of the clergy and install my followers, while constantly intensifying the relationship between the nobility and the church, so that they will hesitate after a year.
When a new balance is possible, the enlightened nobles will abandon the church without hesitation and run into my arms, while the conservative nobles will make similar choices under the pressure of trade-offs and changes in the situation."
"I am confident that I can win over one of the other four cardinals in the dioceses, who will rely on me to obtain the secrets in the world of the dead. In a year, I am sure that I can win over one or two more. It should not be difficult for you to get rid of the rest."
Or eliminate them. As long as the time difference is grasped correctly, the epic knights will understand the situation. And now that I have won over the Heart of Time, you have been operating in the Storm Strait for so long, so it is impossible that you have not won over the epic knights."
Fernando did not answer, which was regarded as acquiescing to Sard's guess. There are epic knights in several countries who have been secretly attracted, but before the situation changes, they are unlikely to betray the church, and may even follow the church to surround the parliament.
"In this way, the authority of the theocracy will be greatly reduced. Even if you can win over the three cardinals, you are still far behind the aristocratic power and will be suppressed by them. Aren't you worried?" Fernando asked solemnly.
Sard shook his head: "What I want is faith, and what I want is to get closer to the Lord. The rest are all illusions. If you are willing to cooperate, you must emphasize these two aspects when you swear an oath to the origin of the world. I
I will also make the promise to close the teleportation array with my heart of faith."
"This matter is very important. We cannot agree to it immediately. We must convene a meeting of the Supreme Council to discuss it." Fernando replied solemnly.
Salde chuckled and said, "This is what it should be."
As soon as he finished speaking, the humanoid figure in the air he had condensed disappeared from the spot.
Hathaway looked there quietly for a while and whispered: "Do you believe what he said?"
"It seems that there are no loopholes, and it is an opportunity worth seizing. However, we must be prepared for emergencies in case he has other plans." Fernando clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the glorious cathedral in the city.
In the secret room, after listening to David's words, James kicked him unconscious, then turned to Lucien and said: "Lucien, use magic means to verify his confession, and then I will ask the neutral nobles and the church nobles respectively.
Verified, don't worry, he will not be punished less, and being hanged is his only ending.
We do this in order to obtain stronger and more real evidence. We will not compromise until the other party pays the price, but we cannot blindly expand the scope of our attack."
"Okay, I will verify it later. 'Cursed Angel, Gwell must be handed over to me. I still lack the materials for the ninth-level golden knight. Maybe in the future, I can study the method of stable inheritance and stimulation of bloodline. Well, you guys
You can take away some of Gwell's tissues and powerful identity certificates, otherwise the conservatives will deny it." Lucien glanced at the stone-like Gwell lightly.
Duke James also couldn't help but look at Gwell. Being taken away by a magician for experimental materials was much crueler and more terrifying than death. However, his interest was attracted by another statement in Lucien's words: "The stable inheritance of bloodline"
And inspire? Has the parliament made a breakthrough in this regard?”
"Not yet, but I think there will definitely be in the future." Lucien deliberately boasted, giving the nobles a hope. As for how long the future will be, he did not say.
James' eyes were slightly bright and he said: "Lucien, you are a genius in arcane research. I hope you can solve this problem one day. Well, this room was made very dirty by Gwill, and there are residual toxins everywhere.
We are not afraid of curses, but Her Majesty the Queen and others will have a bad influence. I will first suppress Russell and Camille's powerless kiss, and let them go to other rooms to rest and recover. This poison is mixed with curses.
It shouldn’t take long for the effects to wear off.”
"You can help Her Majesty the Queen to go to the guest room and wait for me to 'handle' the scene. Then I will notify Your Excellency Heart of Time to come and protect you."
Lucien found that James had a better attitude towards him. He did not worry about the relationship between the two because Natasha tried so hard to protect him before. He even gave himself and Natasha a chance to get along with each other in private after the life and death crisis. This may be the reason.
Attitudinal changes brought about by the Night's Watch assassination?
Just when he was about to answer, Lucien's face twitched slightly. He received the teacher's secret message. The huge stone in his heart was completely relieved, so he nodded and turned around to walk to Natasha.
"You haven't gathered your will yet. I'll use magic to help you suppress the 'powerless kiss.'" Lucien held Natasha's shoulders with concern.
Natasha nodded: "Well, help me to the guest room first, and then guide me to use the health belt after gathering my will."
Lucien used his hands to help her away from the wall she was leaning against. Seeing her feet becoming weak, he suddenly felt something in his heart.
Natasha noticed Lucien's stagnation and looked at him doubtfully, but as soon as she turned her head, there was an extra hand on the crook of her leg, and her whole body suddenly jumped into the air. She subconsciously waved her arm, trying to grab something.
But due to lack of strength in his hands, he could only grab Lucien's shoulders in the end.
After stabilizing her emotions, Natasha turned her head to the sky and saw Lucien's face with a hint of smile, and then she realized that she was being picked up by him.
Ever since she could remember, even when she was carried away by Lucien, she had never been hugged like this by a man. A feeling of embarrassment arose spontaneously, and a suspicious blush appeared on her blood-stained face.
"Princess hugged" Her Majesty the Queen. Lucien was in a very good mood. This is a normal posture!
Looking down, Natasha's face was slightly flushed. Even though it was covered in blood, she was too beautiful to describe. Seeing her like this and thinking of the female war goddess who stood in front of him, Lucien felt excited and couldn't help but feel depressed.
head and gave her a gentle kiss on the face.
The warm touch came from her face, and a warm smile appeared at the corner of Natasha's mouth. Then she suppressed all her shame and whispered: "When I have the opportunity in the future, I will hug you like this!"
