The amulet of life suddenly became transparent, blooming with a clean brilliance, and a section of intestines covered with blood twisted, squirmed, split and grew. It took a full hour for the Storm Lord to return to its original appearance, and then another two hours later, he
Only then did his strength slowly return to the level of the legendary third level.
After putting on his usual bright red magic robe and inserting a strange artificial eye like a vortex in the center of a storm into his left eye socket, Fernando opened the node connecting "Thunder Hell" to the outside world. This was not because he didn't trust Douglas.
Hathaway, Lucien and others are the most basic vigilance of a legendary magician who has lived for thousands of years.
The node was 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 smiled lewdly, "I thought you and Natasha would have a good 'celebration.'"
Even though Lucien was very used to the teacher's crookedness, he was a little blushing: "Prince Patrick was killed on the order of the old king. Natasha was not in a good mood. I comforted her for a while. Later, His Excellency, the Nightmare King
I sent Archduke Violet here. Father and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time. I was also worried about your recovery, teacher, so I rushed back."
"What's 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 knows too little."
Seeing that Lucien was so leisurely and able to go into Nexor Palace to comfort Natasha, he naturally understood that the short war was over and the results were good, so he didn't rush to ask.
Lucien still looked at Fernando with a little worry: "Teacher, why do I think you are injured more seriously than the Holy Avenger? It seems that you have taken a step back?"
It was okay for Fernando not to show off his momentum, but as soon as he showed it, Lucien sensed something was wrong.
"The trauma in the soul has spread a little here, but it is only temporary and can be recovered in a year or two." Fernando said it well at first, then suddenly blew his beard and stared, "Although Melmoth is stronger than me, but
Even in my intact state, I won't be injured more seriously than him! This time I only didn't bring two legendary items. The puppets, mirrors of clones and other disposable items I prepared in advance were also used to entangle the five saints. Defense
The legendary magic was completely broken by them again, so the injuries were even more serious."
This is also the reason why when he faced the Pope at the third level, he felt that he might be injured and escape. After all, there were many legendary items and life-saving defensive legendary magic.
Based on the deaths of many legendary magicians, the ancient magic empire concluded some things that cannot be explained by existing arcane theories. For example, the Sword of Truth can directly kill souls and follow mysterious connections to separate all separated souls.
Kill the fragments. For example, when a purely violent energy attack exceeds a certain limit, the destruction of the soul of the body will also damage the soul fragments in the resurrection device in some mysterious way. If the energy reaches another level and the magician does not
Without effective defense, it may even lead to complete collapse.
Ancient magicians named it "causal line damage", which is equivalent to part of the curse principle. As for the fact, no one can study it thoroughly.
Regarding the situation at the center of the "Eternal Blazing Sun" explosion, the current view of the Supreme Council is that too much energy will affect time and space, causing confusion in the causal line. Therefore, the weight has been reduced, fearing that Fernando will be killed as well.
Lucien didn't quite believe in this explanation, but he couldn't think of any other reason for the time being. He was still far behind in researching the soul field.
"Yes, yes." Lucien knew that the teacher had always been a magician with strong self-esteem and never praised others. Of course, he nodded in agreement and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, in order to trap the five saints this time, the Council really
After years of accumulation have been used, we may not be able to achieve miraculous results with this suicidal method in the future."
Disposable items such as puppets and mirrors of clones are equivalent to scrolls in the legendary realm. They are much rarer than alchemical items of the same level. The materials required are more rare and the refining failure rate is higher. Even the Magic Council is famous for its alchemy.
There are only three pieces of the organization, all of which belong to the legendary magician - the puppet was contributed by Douglas, and the mirror of doppelgänger is the collection of Fernando.
"If you want your own people to lose less, in addition to careful planning and all kinds of emergency preparations, in addition to being proactive and passive, you must also be willing to use objects and scrolls to smash them at critical moments. If you don't want to spend money, people will die!" Fernando said
He looked wealthy and wealthy, but the unquiet storm in his eyes betrayed his heart, "If there were no realm of clones and puppets, I would bring the robe of the Lord and sacrifice it to entangle the five saints. But
In this case, the council will have to compensate me with a legendary item."
Basically, except for weird things like Lucien, legendary items are only owned by legendary strongmen. However, the Magic Council has also organized many operations to explore the demiplane of ancient magicians, and brought those items that had been lost due to various unexpected encounters.
The relics of the deceased legendary mage were found.
The legendary items obtained and the legendary items entrusted to be refined from the treasured materials obtained are all publicly owned by the Parliament and are managed by the Grand Arcanist who is on duty in Arlinge. Those who have made special contributions to the Parliament or accumulated huge wealth can exchange them, and the maximum
When members of the jury go out or take risks, they can borrow one for a certain price.
There are currently four such public legendary items. The exchange price is so high that even legendary magicians cannot afford it. There are only two situations where special contributions can be recognized. One is what Fernando said, and the other is a confirmed era-changing arcane item.
The theoretical system of magic - this is how Fernando obtained the Robe of Master. A hundred years ago, when several great arcane masters emerged at once, the legendary items of the Council were almost not enough. With the development of alien spaces in recent decades,
, the rare materials obtained increased, and after enduring several failures, the creator and the alchemist master each refined one to fill it.
Lucien deeply understood the feeling of killing people with money. Although the church was far richer than the Parliament, it was still far behind in alchemy.
Fernando didn't say anything else and asked about the outcome of the battle: "How many of the five saints died? What was the final result?"
Lucien described the general process, and while Fernando listened, he snorted that if it hadn't been for Melmoth, all four saints would have died.
After finishing speaking, Fernando frowned slightly and said: "None of our legends have fallen, which is good, but it is a bit strange that the new pope immediately climbed to the level of a god. If the pope is sure to be favored by the God of Truth, why not
Directly kill all the magicians present? Since they have all received divine favor, it is also very simple to inflict divine punishment."
In the past, the pope died at the end of his life and had enough time to select and train his successor. Even so, it would take at least a year for the new pope to become a god.
"Well, if the Pope is really the earthly spokesperson of the God of Truth and can receive divine grace, then what is the splintered Northern Church and the National Church of Holm? Why can it still use divine magic? Why can the Pope still use 'Divine Favor'?
Technique,?" Lucien also expressed his doubts.
Fernando pondered: "I remembered something wrong. The new pope has reached the peak of legend within a year, so why have several gods never tried to seize such an opportunity in the past hundreds of years? The defense of the holy city of Reims can't stop it.
You can live with one god, but you can’t stop two of them.”
Lucien shook his head. If he asked Silver Moon about this kind of thing, he would definitely not get an answer.
Holy City of Reims, Great Hall of Light.
Anastas, who had not yet officially assumed office, held the platinum scepter and stood in front of the remaining members of the College of Cardinals. He said sadly: "The Magic Council colluded with the demons of the abyss and tried to destroy the world. Fortunately, His Majesty the Pope sacrificed himself and fulfilled his principles.
The Lord’s way repels the will of the abyss and saves countless pure spirits. I will inherit his legacy and completely eliminate evil!”
This is to characterize and publicize this event. The coastal corridors of the four Straits countries and the Northland have been lost, and the foundation must be stabilized. A pope who sacrifices himself to save the world will definitely be welcomed by believers.
Melmoth looked around him and felt a sudden sadness in his heart. Two of the eight saints fell, one betrayed and died, one became the pope, and only half of them were left. One of the ordinary Holy Spirit priests fell, and three were missing.
There are actually only sixteen members left in the entire College of Cardinals. Fortunately, there is still the King of Angels who is ready to stay in the world for a short time to help the church tide over the difficulties.
"We will definitely inherit the Pope's will and completely eliminate evil!" The members of the College of Cardinals drew the cross on their chests and responded in unison with grief, "Only the truth will last forever."
Anasta's voice became calm and solemn: "We have suffered huge losses, but we cannot lose confidence because of this. This is a test of the Lord. With the Lord's care, we will surely win the final victory. Melmoth,
You go to Terrence and other Holy Spirit pastors and tell them that as long as they are willing to repent, the Lord will forgive their sins. They were deceived by Salde and just took the wrong path for a while. They can still return to the Lord. This is the Lord.
The gift of.”
Using the gift of the Lord to say this in front of the members of the College of Cardinals is equivalent to truly pardoning Terrence and other Holy Spirit priests. Even if he wants to go back on his words in the future, he has to take into account the issue that will chill the entire College of Cardinals, and Salde’s final words
The trump card is the Will of the Abyss, and it is hard to say how many secrets these three Holy Spirit pastors know about him.
Melmoth showed an expression of appreciation and whispered: "Follow the will of the Lord and the instructions of His Majesty the Pope."
Only by uniting the majority can we be relieved.
"I'm not His Holiness the Pope yet." Anasta smiled, then turned and walked up the steps.
There are not many steps, seven in total. When Anasta stepped onto the first step, an ethereal chant sounded.
Stepping onto the second level, a faint holy light shone down, making the Great Hall of Light even brighter.
In the third step, countless angels like light spots appeared and surrounded Anasta.
In the fourth step, the entire holy city of Reims was shrouded in holy light, and all believers and clergy prostrated themselves and prayed: "... Your way will be allowed to walk on the earth as it is in your country."
In the fifth step, the projection of Paradise Mountain seems to appear in the sky.
In the sixth step, a beam of light shone directly on Anasta.
After taking the seventh step, Anasta's face turned extremely pale with his back to everyone, and his left hand was shaking uncontrollably as if he was old. However, everything quickly recovered. He turned around and faced the cardinals.
Members of the regiment raised their scepters high.
At this time, a majestic and sacred voice descended from an inexplicable height:
"I give you the holy name Benedict!"
Anastas made the sign of the cross respectfully, and his voice echoed in the holy city of Reims:
