Throne of Magical Arcana

The dangerous aura passed away in a flash, which seemed to be Lucien's hallucination, but the "Ring of Congus" in his left hand reminded him that there was indeed a strong man approaching just now.

"Lucien..." Seeing that Lucien was standing there, Alfreds was about to speak, but was stopped by the gesture of pressing down his right hand, so he stared at his translucent eyes, not knowing why.

In such a sensitive situation, someone actually came to this small church in the east of the city. What is his purpose?

After a while, Lucien could no longer sense that dangerous aura, so he used the "Concealed Communication Technique" with little fluctuation and said to Alfreds: "Someone approached just now, at least a high-level person, and now it seems to be sneaking in." 'Church of Redemption,' we'll wait a little longer for Richard to go wrong."

Afrist immediately became excited, is there any enemy? Enemies mean victory, and victory means spoils!

Raising his paw, Afris wiped away the saliva unconsciously overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

…………

Richard stood quietly in front of the cross, thinking about the conversation just now, the buds hidden in his heart for more than 20 years seemed to gradually sprout under the sunshine, and the chaotic and contradictory concepts in the past were sorted out little by little, and reshaped own heart of faith.

At this moment, he was calm and prayed silently: "If this interpretation of the "Holy Code" goes against your teaching and will, then let the holy light swallow me, it means that my faith is shaken by the fallen morning star , will fall into hell."

Tick ​​tock, time is like water, every minute and every second, Richard's body is slowly covered with a layer of sacred and solemn brilliance, like a saint who has received the favor of the gods, he raised his head, opened his eyes, and drew a picture on his chest. Looking at the cross, his eyes were gentle and firm, and he said in a low voice: "You are one and ten thousand, the beginning and the end... I think I understand your teachings, God loves the world and redeems the world, the existence of religion is to defend faith, Instead of blocking faith, everyone has the right to receive revelation from the Holy Scriptures, as long as the heart is pious, you can get your spiritual illumination."

Richard was happy physically and mentally. The dirt that had made him confused and confused for twenty or thirty years seemed to be evaporated one by one under the light of the holy light. To the gate of level nine.

"This is all your gift, only the truth lasts forever." Richard drew a cross on the holy emblem on his chest.

In fact, from Lucien's point of view, with Richard's piety and his study of theology, if he hadn't been confused and wandering for a long time, he would have been promoted to the ninth level, and he might have become the priest of the Holy Spirit. into the realm of legend.

Richard got up from his seat and signaled to the priests and bishops in the church that they could finish their prayers and leave. He then went to the garden next to him, breathing in the fragrance of flowers mixed in the fresh air at night, feeling the beauty of life, and thinking about the proposal he was about to make. Program of the Reformation, all given by the God of Truth.

"No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, and no matter how oppressed by the Pope and members of the Cardinals, I will complete the program, submit it to the Cardinals, and spread it to other clergy." Richard has no idea of ​​independence, and will He pinned his hopes on reforms within the church. Suddenly, he turned his head receptively and saw a smiling cardinal wearing a bright red robe and a square cap.

"Octave?" Richard recognized that this was a talent he cultivated when he was in charge of Rentate Abbey, and he was previously in charge of the Cardinal of the Inquisition in the Diocese of Holm.

Octave is a dignified middle-aged man with bushy black eyebrows and a pair of sharp light blue eyes. He smiled and said, "You should have heard about the recent events. I'm a little confused, so I want to find you." Unravel."

"There is resentment in your heart, so you are going to blind your eyes?" Richard asked using the scriptures of the Holy Book, with a kind expression and a very soothing power.

Octave drew a cross on his chest: "Yes, I am worried that I will be blinded by resentment, forget the original intention of serving the Lord, and be abandoned by the Lord, but, Mr. Richard, do we let the evil dangle in front of us, To tolerate it for various reasons, isn't this a betrayal of the Lord's teaching?"

"...Because of his faith, he has no fear of the devil, ignores the flames, throws himself into the most dangerous enemy, and does not retreat..."

He was also reciting the scriptures of the "Holy Canon", with a slightly questioning expression on his face, questioning himself and the church.

Richard shook his head: "What is evil? What is evil about the nobles you executed?"

"He listens to the 'Voice of the Mystery', and he works with magicians to make money." Octave's voice became louder.

Richard pointed to the "Holy Book" in his hand: "The Lord only told us, don't be greedy, don't lie, don't indulge in lust, don't ignore life, don't be filled with pain and hatred, what did that nobleman fail to do?" ?”

"He lied! Weaving lies and cooperating with the magician." Octave subconsciously replied.

Richard smiled: "People who lie will not be able to ascend to the mountain of heaven, wandering around the earth, and being hurt by lightning and flames... This is the Lord's punishment for them, and he did not say that they can ignore their lives."

"He cooperates with the magician and listens to the mysterious voice!" Octave didn't understand Richard's thoughts.

Richard said calmly: "The "Holy Code" doesn't say that you can't cooperate with a magician, as long as the magician is not an evil person who violates the teachings of the "Holy Code."

"How could it not be an evil one, in the "Scripture"..." Octave recited the contents of the "Scripture".

Richard looked at him with a smile, until he stopped talking and said: "Since you follow the "Scripture", you have to consider the wishes and ideas of the church. Why do you feel resentful?"

Octave said with joy on his face: "Yes, it's not the church or the "Canon" that complains, but the high-ranking lords and lords who have violated the original intention of the faith and revised the "Canon" repeatedly. They have betrayed the Lord and have already Can no longer effectively spread the faith of the Lord, Mr. Richard, haven't you always disliked the Pope and they amend the Canon? I hope you will stand up and appeal to the other clergy in the diocese of Holm to awaken their numbness souls, and jointly propose to His Majesty the Pope to restore the original "Canon."

"What if the Pope doesn't want to?" Richard had just gone through a lobby, so he was very keenly aware of the strangeness in Octave's words.

"If he doesn't want to, we'll elect a real majesty who can represent the Lord's will. I think many members of the Cardinals have a similar view!" Octave said excitedly and fanatically, "In my heart , you are such a candidate!"

"Don't be used by others. Our correct approach is to return the right to interpret the "Holy Scripture" to every pious believer, and be justified by faith!" Richard shook his head and rejected Octave's invitation.

Unexpectedly, Richard's ideas were more radical than his own, Octave was stunned for a moment, and then started persuading again.

However, Richard, who has just strengthened his faith, is like a stone that cannot be eaten by oil and salt, and does not accept any opinions that do not conform to his own reform program.

Finally, Octave bowed his head in frustration: "Then I will take my leave first. I hope you can figure it out in the future. We welcome you to join us at any time."

us? Richard frowned, seeing that Octave had already turned and left, he didn't say anything more.

Watching Octave step into the corridor, Richard put his hands behind his back and continued to perfect his reform program.

At the end of the corridor, Octave stopped suddenly, with a ferocious smile on his face, and at some point in his hand, there was a brown scroll containing terrifying power.

"The dead are often easier to use than the living, because he can't speak!"

"Richard who died at the hands of a magician is more likely to provoke conflict than Richard who is alive!"

The scroll was torn apart by him at once, and the eternal flowing power burst out suddenly. Richard and the area around him were immediately stained with a void and dead gray. Under the nine-ring magic "time stop", everything seemed to stand still.

Octave took out a black scroll and tore it open again, and the inexplicable magical power rushed towards Richard. It would remove all supernatural power effects on Richard below the legendary level, even the legendary level " "Artifact" also has a certain chance of being destroyed.

Nine-ring magic "big cracking technique"!

Just when Octave took out the last magic scroll "Ultimate Orb of Destruction", he suddenly saw a figure appearing in front of him, pointing at himself.

Crackling, all the magical items on Octave's body shattered, the cardinal's robe turned into light spots of different colors, and even the flesh "evaporated" a layer of "fog" composed of various elements.

Caught off guard, he was hurt immediately, and his body and soul seemed to be frozen.

Lucien's "Elemental Order" is more perfect after the new alchemy initially explained the exchange of outer electrons, and its power has been strengthened again. With the strength of the seven rings, it can also have the effect of almost nine rings.

Although the magical array of the "Church of Salvation" covered up most of the magic fluctuations, Lucien, who was close at hand, still recognized the nine-ring magic, so he rescued Richard. Rentat's legendary powerhouses sensed the barrier of the magic circle, so they didn't use the Ring of Congus.

Lucien hated Octave's wasteful use of two nine-ring scrolls. High-level scrolls are much rarer than alchemy items, because there are not many materials that can carry high-level magic, and scrolls are more suitable for writing. There are few, and how can a one-time scroll compare to an alchemy item that can be used repeatedly?

Unless it can only be made into scrolls, magicians would rather find more materials to refine items. Even a "monopoly" like Lucien doesn't have high-level and above scrolls. Octave simply You are throwing money at people!

Lucien pointed again, and was about to use the "Curse Casting" to reduce Octave's magic resistance, and then use the "Petrification" to make him into a statue and take him back to torture him slowly.

At this time, a figure suddenly jumped out from the shadows, and the long sword in his hand had the taste of eliminating extraordinary power, and he slashed at Lucien who was caught off guard.

Octave actually has a companion, a sky knight with the bloodline of "Elimination"!

Moreover, he is also an "acquaintance" of Lucien, Lund, the night watchman captain of Alto Court!

For some reason, Lund, who had been promoted to a sixth-level sky knight, recognized Lucien's identity. With his will, he couldn't control the joy in his heart. Is he finally going to kill this hateful enemy?

He believed that under his bloodline of elimination, Lucien's spell trigger would be lifted!

The long sword hit Lucien's body, but it seemed to hit the foam, and the strange smile on Lucien's handsome face slowly dissipated.

"Oops, illusion!" Lund's heart tightened, and he quickly returned to his sword to defend, but a huge monster suddenly appeared behind him, looking at him intently and seriously with translucent amber eyes, with its mouth open, a cold and paralyzed dragon Breath came out.

The coercion from the top creatures made Lund slightly distracted.

Beside Octave, Lucien's figure emerged, and rushed towards the eighth-level cardinal who had just come to his senses.

Octave recognized that Lucien had used "Balle's Transformation Technique", and subconsciously sneered in his heart. A magician transformed into a knight of heaven, isn't this taking advantage of weaknesses and avoiding strengths?

So, he set up a magical defense in front of him, ready to counterattack after blocking the attack, as long as he can escape, he will slander Richard for colluding with the "Fallen Angel"!

Clenched his left hand and swung it fiercely, the faint silvery moonlight mixed with black, white and gray froze and flickered. Octave's eyes widened, and he was shocked to see that his defense was shattered like paper under the bombardment of Lucien's left fist.

"What's this?"

"Am I dreaming?"

In astonishment, Octave was savagely hit on the side by Lucien's left fist, his teeth flew out, blood spurted wildly, and he passed out directly.

If Lucien hadn't stopped in time, this punch would have sent his brains and blood flying together, milky white and dark red.
