Pope Belkovsky of the Northern Church is slowly walking towards the prayer room. He is tall and sturdy. He is completely different from the thin old man like Pope Benedict III. He is more like a knight inspired by the blood of the ice bear. In fact,
, he is indeed a second-level knight who inspired the power of his bloodline by himself. Even if he later chose the path of divine magic, he paid great attention to the training and maintenance of his body. After all, using "divine favor magic" will also bring harm to the body.
heavy burden.
He stretched out his right hand and slowly pressed it on the door of the prayer room. His eyes were focused. There was no sign that senior people were always used to thinking about problems while walking. For him, when doing something, he must do it with concentration.
Only by not being distracted by unnecessary thoughts can you do your best, so eat when you need to eat, walk when you need to walk, and think when you need to think, even in the smallest details.
Suddenly, his right hand, which was about to push open the door of the prayer room, stopped on the copper handle. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the holy light around him was dim, seeming to be connected to the magical barrier of the entire cathedral.
"Who is nearby?" Although Belkovsky will not be able to maintain a sense of the entire St. Ivan Castle for a long time, he still has the most basic warning. If he does not even know that a strong person has entered the vicinity of the cathedral,
Then he, the Pope of the Northern Church, has failed too much. Moreover, the most important thing is that the strong man just showed up in a flash, as if he was announcing to himself that he was coming!
Belkovsky was actually not afraid of this powerful man who appeared mysteriously. He was more confused. Even if Pope Benedict III came in person, even if the "divine art" was restored, he would be in St. Ivan Castle and in the cathedral.
, it is not impossible for him to survive. The "God's Favor Technique" and the defensive core that the Northern Church has been operating for hundreds of years are enough to consume the divine descending technique and he will only be slightly injured.
This is just like "successive popes" have never tried to bombard Arlinge with "divine descent". Although it can destroy the city in the sky, it cannot seriously damage the legend inside. Without anyone else to cooperate with the siege, at least
Douglas and Brooke, who are at the peak of their legends, are not worried about falling because of this.
The legendary wave reappeared and then disappeared quickly, but the position was no different from before. This made Bierkovsky, who was about to take action directly, slightly stunned, smelling an unusual smell, and then the saint behind him
The light turned from virtual to real, condensing into an angelic figure with six wings on its back and closed eyes. Then the figure jumped into the void and disappeared in front of Belkovsky.
Outside St. Ivan's Cathedral is a vast square, which is in line with the rough and heroic style advocated by the Shahran Empire. In a small alley near the square, the darkness approaching early morning completely shrouded the place, and the silence was particularly terrifying.
, in sharp contrast to the nearby sacred and magnificent church.
In the alley, the holy light stood out, and the figure of an angel with closed eyes appeared, and then twisted into the appearance of Belkovsky.
"Hey." A creepy laughter suddenly sounded in the darkness of the alley. It didn't sound like it came from a human mouth at all, it was closer to the feeling of "Jie Jie", and it also had a strong meaning of death.
There are not many strong people who can make Bierkovsky afraid, except for the god-like Douglas, so he was not polite at all to the sneaky person who pretended to be mysterious and scary: "If you don't have enough reasons to lure me out.
OK, then go to hell and think of a better reason."
"Hehe..." Amidst the laughter, a black bird flew out, with pale and ridiculous feathers on its head. The whole body was like the purest death, bringing the worst and worst things.
information.
Bielkovsky carefully identified it, only to find that this mysterious bird had disguised its own aura so well that the projected self could not see through it, unless the real body was here and used magic, but in that case, this
The little bird would probably collapse and disappear on the spot, leaving no clues behind.
"You can call me a 'death bird,' but what I brought this time is good news." The little bird paused eerily in mid-air as if it were stepping on a branch.
Belkovsky snorted indifferently: "Good news? There is not much good news that can make me happy."
"Really? The method of using the power of emotions to transform oneself into the state of an ancient devil is 'sold at a discount. Isn't that good news?" The laughter of "Death Bird" was very scary.
"What?" Belkovsky's pupils contracted, his eyes froze, and he looked at this weird little bird intently. He looked at it carefully for the first time since meeting him, as if even his non-existent breathing became heavy.
stand up.
After being silent for a while, he looked at the "death bird" and said, "You know?"
In the past one or two years, many mysterious and strange events have occurred in the area ruled by the Northern Church. The final investigation results pointed to the ancient devil. In addition, Belkovsky obtained a lot of information from the Dark Parliament, the Endless Ocean and other places.
I almost guessed that someone was collecting emotional power in an attempt to transform into an ancient devil state.
Moreover, it was clearly mentioned in the Magic Council broadcast that the transformation into the ancient devil state was a method created by Thanos. With the help of this and the power of faith, he successfully promoted to godlike, although Bielkovsky did not dare to broadcast this broadcast openly.
I completely believe it, but I also have a preliminary inference. The reason why successive popes and saints have never been able to find the door to the god-like world and only know how to pass on power and steal and use the power of faith is because they are missing a key link.
Therefore, he has long coveted the method mentioned in the "Death Bird" words!
"Don't you know that Viken secretly announced the god-like method?" "Death Bird" said with a slightly mocking tone.
"What?" Belkovsky repeated his previous words again. He may have been surprised as many times today as he has been in the past many years. It's not that he wasn't calm enough or focused enough, but that the news about the "Death Bird" was too shocking.
Got it!
The "Death Bird" let out another horrifying laugh: "The Elf Queen knew that, so Lancier disappeared, and the Dark Lord knew that, so the previous Demon Prince fell. Legends who rarely fell in the past except for wars disappeared one by one.
, you didn’t notice anything was wrong?”
"So that's it..." Belkovsky did not blindly believe the words of the "Death Bird", but had long been full of doubts about these events. From the confidential information he obtained, he could vaguely infer a terrible incident.
Fact, and today, the complete picture of this fact appeared before his eyes, confirming each other, "What are the benefits of Viken doing this..."
This was what he couldn't figure out the most.
"Benefit, letting enemies kill each other is not a benefit? Stabilizing the internal situation is not a benefit? Delaying time for oneself to recover is not a benefit? Moreover, they are also Viken's experimental items. Their experience and encounters can help Viken find their own methods.
The problem is, find a way to solve the hidden dangers, let Peeping at the true god level, for him, he is a quasi-god anyway, no matter how bad he is, he can still save his life, and there will be a chance to start over in the future." "Death Bird" laughed,
"Besides, the ones chosen are legends that do not have a stable source of faith and will not be able to reach the god-like level for a long time."
"No wonder there are no hidden dangers for us..." Belkovsky nodded lightly. He is the pope of the Northern Church and has a stable source of faith and has been stealing for a long time. If he has a god-like method, he can obtain it in a short time.
Great progress. However, the Northern Church and the Southern Church are in a relationship of ebb and flow. It is easiest to seize the other party's power of faith. Only when Viken's brain is broken will he reveal it to "himself", his henchman.
He calmed down and said bluntly: "What do you need?"
For a big shot like him, the ability to make decisions at critical moments is indispensable, so he went straight to the core of the problem without rambling, and he was not worried that the "death bird" would deceive him with fake things.
This kind of exchange where you dare not find someone to "notarize" it must be part-by-part exchange for your own knowledge. Could it be that you can't judge the authenticity and cancel the transaction at any time?
"I only have a way to transform the state, but not a way to steal and use the power of faith, and I don't have the secret of how to combine the two to attack the gods. But I know that you have already obtained a way to steal and use the power of faith from the undead world, and
It has been improved by successive popes, so let's exchange it with each other." The voice of "Death Bird" was restrained, hoarse and low.
Belkovsky's eyes widened. He knew the Pope's secret? Who was he? Did Viken tell him?
After suppressing his doubts, Belkovsky said "slightly disappointed": "Not complete?"
"No, but this is your last chance. Others will not reveal it to the outside world. No one wants to increase competitors. If you don't exchange, I can find your saints. I don't think they will refuse.
"Death Bird" seemed to have a hint of ridicule in its two pale and empty eyes.
Belkovsky was a little angry, but the temptation was more real. After weighing the pros and cons, he nodded and said: "If it is just a way to use and steal the power of faith, then there is no problem."
The core of the Northern Church is the secret of inheriting power with the help of "divine nature".
"Oh, by the way, give me the information on eliminating bloodline, I'm very interested in it." "Death Bird" mentioned it casually, as if it was just a small thing.
At the time of the split, there were many bloodline-killing knights in the Northern Church's Night Watch, and they had accumulated a lot of information.
Belkovsky also thought it was a trivial matter, and the information on "eliminating the bloodline" was not a big deal, but he still felt it was necessary to express his attitude: "In addition to this request, no more can be added unless you come up with other valuable
s things."
"Death Bird" said with a "hehe" smile: "Okay."
The two quickly exchanged each other's information and said goodbye with "satisfaction" to each other.
In the cathedral, Belkovsky looked at the statues of popes and saints in the prayer room, and suddenly felt smug. Although he did not have the last and most critical information, he had made many times progress than before, and,
I also know the source from which the information may be obtained. When the time comes, the dark lord and other powerful people who have the secret will have to be careful!
In the "Atomic Universe", Lucien opened his eyes, and the black "death bird" suddenly disintegrated.
This time he pretended to be a "death bird", not only to obtain information, but also to "find" an enemy for Viken and confuse the situation. Anyway, the most critical method was not given to Belkovsky in the end. He wanted to become a god-like person.
There's a long way to go! Lucien won't be adding new godlike enemies to the Council's future.
"Don't you want to confuse the situation? Then I will help you make it more confusing! However, this level of confusion is not enough..." Lucien showed what Heidi and other students called a devil's smile on his face
