Throne of Magical Arcana

Fort St. Ivan.

Pope Belkovsky of the Northern Church was slowly walking towards the prayer room. He was tall and hulking. He was completely different from the thin old man like Pope Benedict III. He was more like a knight who inspired the blood of the ice bear. In fact , he is indeed a second-level knight who has stimulated his blood power by himself. Even if he later chose the path of divine art, he paid great attention to the tempering and maintenance of his body. heavy burden.

He stretched out his right hand and pressed it slowly on the door of the prayer room. His eyes were focused, and there was no sign that high-level people were always used to thinking about problems while walking. For him, when doing one thing, he must concentrate on it. Do not be distracted by unnecessary thoughts, so that you can do your best. Therefore, eat when you should eat, walk when you should walk, and think when you should 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 surrounding holy light was indistinct, as if connected with the magical barrier of the entire cathedral.

"Who is nearby?" Although Belkovsky will not maintain the induction of the entire Fort St. Ivan for a long time, he still has the most basic vigilance. If a strong man enters the vicinity of the cathedral without knowing, Then he, the Pope of the Northern Church, has failed too much. Moreover, the most important thing is that the strong man just now appeared in a flash, as if announcing to himself that he is coming!

Belkovsky was actually not afraid of this powerful man who appeared mysteriously, but more doubts, even if Pope Benedict III came in person, even if he restored the "God's Arrival Technique", in St. The church itself is not without the possibility of surviving. The "God's Blessing" and the defense core that the Northern Church has operated for hundreds of years are enough to consume the God's Descent and only suffer minor injuries.

It's like the "successful popes" never tried to bombard Allinge with the "God's Arrival Technique". Although that can destroy the sky city, it can't seriously damage the legend inside. Without other people's cooperation in the siege, at least Douglas and Brook, who are at the peak of the legend, are not worried about falling because of this.

The legendary wave reappeared and disappeared quickly, but the position was the same as before. This made Belkovsky, who was about to do it directly, stunned for a moment, smelling an unusual smell, and then the saint behind him The light turned from emptiness to reality, condensing into a figure of an angel with six wings on its back and eyes closed. Then, this figure plunged into the void and disappeared in front of Belkovsky.

Outside St. Ivan's Cathedral, there 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 near the early morning completely shrouded the place, and the silence was extremely terrifying. , in stark contrast to the sacred and magnificent churches nearby.

In the alley, the holy light was prominent, and the figure of an angel with closed eyes emerged, 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, and it was closer to the feeling of "Jie Jie", and it also carried a strong sense of death.

There are not many strong men who can make Belkovsky fear, except for the god-like, that is, Douglas, so he is not polite to this sneaky person who pretends to be mysterious and scary: "If you don't have enough reasons to lure me out Well, then you go to hell and think of a better reason."

"Hey..." Amid the laughter, a black bird flew out, with pale and ridiculous feathers on the top of its head, and its whole body was like the purest composition of death, bringing the worst and worst news.

Belkovsky discerned carefully, but found that this mysterious bird had disguised its aura so well that the projected self could not see through it, unless the main body was here and magic was used, but in that case, this The little bird would probably collapse and disappear on the spot, leaving no clues for itself.

"You can call me 'Death Bird', but what I brought this time is good news." The little bird paused in the air strangely as if it was stepping on a branch.

Belkovsky snorted indifferently: "Good news? There is not much good news that can make me happy."

"Really? Isn't it good news to 'sell at a discount' the method of borrowing the power of emotions to transform oneself into an ancient devil state?" The laugh of "Reporting Death Bird" was very terrifying.

"What?" Belkovsky's pupils contracted, his gaze was fixed, and he focused on this weird little bird. It was the first time since we met him that he looked at it carefully, as if even the non-existent breathing became heavy. stand up.

After a moment of silence, he looked at the "Reporting Death Bird" and said, "You know?"

In the past one or two years, many mysterious and strange incidents have occurred in the area ruled by the northern church. The results of the final investigation all point to the ancient devil. In addition, Belkovsky has obtained a lot of information from places such as the Dark Council and the Endless Ocean. I almost guessed that someone was collecting emotional power to try to transform into an ancient devil state.

Moreover, it was clearly mentioned in the broadcast of the Magic Council that transforming into an ancient devil state was a method created by Thanos. With the help of this and the power of faith, he successfully promoted to god-like, although Belkovsky did not dare to broadcast this aboveboard broadcast. I fully believe it, but I also have a preliminary inference. The reason why the previous popes and saints have never been able to find the door to the gods, and only know how to inherit power and steal and use the power of faith is because the key link is missing. Therefore, he has long coveted the method in the words of "Reporting the Dead Bird".

"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 be surprised as many times as he has been in the past many years. It's not that he is not calm enough or focused enough, but that the news of "Reporting Dead Bird" is too shocking. up!

The "Reporting Death Bird" let out a horrifying laugh again: "The elf queen knows, so Lanhir is missing, and the dark lord knows, so the former devil prince has fallen, and the legends who rarely fell except for wars in the past are missing. , you didn't notice anything wrong?"

"It turned out to be like this..." Belkovsky did not blindly believe the words of "Reporting the Dead Bird", but was already full of doubts about these events. , the complete face of this fact appeared before his eyes, confirming each other, "What good will Viken do by doing this..."

This is what he can't figure out the most.

"Good, it's not good to let the enemy kill each other? It's not good to stabilize the internal situation? It's not good to delay your recovery? Moreover, they are also Viken's experimental objects. Their experience and encounters can help Viken find himself. The problem with the method is to find a way to solve the hidden dangers and let him see the level of the true god. Anyway, for him, he is a god-like person, and he can save his life no matter how bad it is, and there will be a chance to start again in the future." "Reporting dead bird" Laughed, "Besides, He chose legends that didn't have a solid source of belief and couldn't break into the god-like level for a long time."

"No wonder he didn't hide us..." Belkovsky nodded lightly. He is the Pope of the Northern Church and has a solid source of faith that he has been stealing for a long time. Great progress can be made, and the Northern Church and the Southern Church itself belong to a trade-off relationship, and it is easiest to seize the power of faith from the other party. Viken will only reveal it to his confidant, his confidant, unless his brain is broken. .

He settled his emotions and said bluntly: "What do you need?"

For a big man like him, the ability to make decisions at critical moments is indispensable, so there is no rambling, and he goes straight to the core of the problem, and he is not worried that the "reporting death bird" will lie to himself with a fake , This kind of exchange that dare not find someone to "notarize" must be a part-by-part exchange between each other. Based on my own knowledge, I can't judge whether it is true or false, and cancel the transaction at any time.

"I only have the method of transforming the state, there is no way to steal and use the power of faith, and I don't have the secret of how to combine the two to impact the god-like, and I know that you have already obtained the method of stealing and using the power of faith from the Necromancer world, And it has been improved by previous popes, so let's exchange with each other." The voice of "Reporting Death Bird" was restrained, hoarse and deep.

Belkovsky's eyes froze. Does he know the Pope's secret? who is he? Viken told him?

Restraining his doubts, Belkovsky said "slightly disappointed": "Not complete?"

"No, but this is your last chance. Others will not disclose it. No one wants to increase competitors. If you don't exchange, I can find your saints. I don't think they will refuse .” The two pale, empty eyes of the “Reporting Death Bird” seemed to have a trace of ridicule.

Belkovsky was a little annoyed, but the temptation was more real. After weighing the pros and cons, he nodded and said, "If it's just a way to use and steal the power of faith, then there's no problem."

The core of the northern church is the secret of inheriting power with the help of "divinity".

"Oh, by the way, by the way, give me the information on eliminating bloodlines, I'm very interested in it." The "Reporting Death Bird" mentioned it casually, and it seemed to be just a trivial matter.

At the time of the split, there were also many knights who eliminated bloodlines in the night watchman team of the Northern Church, and they accumulated a lot of information.

Belkovsky also felt that it was a trivial matter, and the information on "elimination of bloodlines" was not a big deal, but he still believed that it was necessary to express his attitude: "In addition to this requirement, no more can be added, unless you come up with other valuable information. s things."

"Reporting death bird" "Hehe" smiled and said, "Okay."

The two quickly exchanged each other's information and said goodbye to each other "satisfied".

Belkovsky in the cathedral looked at the statues of successive popes and saints in the prayer room, and suddenly felt complacent. Although there is no final and most critical information, it has improved many times compared to before, and, I also know the source of the possible information, when the time comes, the dark lord and other strong masters of the secret have to be careful!

In the "Atomic Universe", Lucien opened his eyes, and the black "Death Bird" collapsed in an instant.

He pretended to be "Reporting Death Bird" this time, in addition to obtaining information, he also wanted to "find" an enemy for Viken and confuse the situation. Anyway, he didn't give Belkovsky the most critical method in the end. He didn't want to become a god-like There is a long way to go! Lucien will not add new god-like enemies to the future of the council.

"Aren't you going to mess up the situation? Then I will help you make it even more confusing! However, this level of confusion is not enough..." Lucien showed a smile that was called a devil by Heidi and other students.
