Chapter 187: Half-step Sixth Level (Part 2)
Count Hamish
Twenty-five years have made him fifty-five years old, his body is still strong and his eyes are deep and sharp. This is a characteristic of a knight with a long-standing martial arts skill - but the wrinkles and breath all show that he has reached old age.
In the castle of Dolbys, there is a small study, which is the Earl's office.
At this moment, he was casually listening to a fifty-year-old man with gray hair and extremely elegant demeanor speaking. The nobles now have scholars, and this is his think tank.
"Mr. McCard, you have brought me bad news!" Count Hamish said with a serious expression.
"Yes, my men found an information for me. Viscount Alec, Baron Dennis, Baron Quested, Sir Paslow, and some people who opposed you, held a secret meeting at Bart Manor. In addition to these people, there was also a mysterious figure." The scholar said calmly: "This mysterious mission is likely to be a member of the Church of the God of Light."
After thirty years of religious war, the Holy See of Light was greatly weakened, and other churches were rising and preaching openly. This situation was naturally not tolerated by the Church of Light.
"Do you want to repeat history again?" Earl Hamish nodded without surprise and said. Now the Earl controls 800 square kilometers of land and owns the largest gold mine in the entire principality, which makes outsiders and even the Grand Duke very jealous.
Count Hamish pondered silently and knocked on the table.
"Earl, you can fully believe in the loyalty of the knights, but what I am worried about is that some kind of desperate attempt may not be unreasonable. Earl, you must pay attention to your own safety."
"My dear McCard!" said the Count, "Thank you very much for your reminder, I will pay attention."
The conversation was temporarily interrupted for a while, and at this moment, someone came to report it.
"What, Baron Daniel Fix?" The Count was a little surprised when he heard the name.
Originally, the Earl attached great importance to him. Daniel was promoted to baron, and he made a lot of effort, but later he lived in seclusion, which made the Earl secretly dissatisfied - the investment was ruined!
Now that he came, what was the intention? After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Ah, please come in!"
However, when Fang Xin came in, he immediately stood up: "Oh, Master Daniel, you are very welcome!"
The summer sun is originally hot, but it only feels warm when shining on the magic robe. Under the sun, one star and two golden lines shine, which represents a level 16 mage.
Generally speaking, if you can obtain a level 1 mage or above, you can be called a gentleman, and if you can obtain a level 5 mage or above, you can be called a noble, a noble guest, and if you can obtain a level 10 mage or above, you can become a vintage guest in the palace - a mage or above level 15, and even a king should be called a master.
Fang Xin bowed slightly: "His Earl."
He waved his hand, with a strange power in his voice, and said, "I would like to have a good talk with you!"
The scholar naturally withdrew.
"Count Hamish, first of all, thank you for your support for the past twenty years. Now is the time for me to repay you." Fang Xin said lightly, and said it clearly at the beginning without any concealment.
"Master Daniel, you are so polite. I am very willing to gain your friendship." Earl Hamish also got up and bowed a little, saying, "Please sit down."
What impact will the level 16 magician intervene in such a way? It is difficult to estimate.
"I heard that you are a believer of the goddess of spring water, but?" Fang Xin sat down and asked directly.
"Yes, our family has believed in the Spring Goddess for quite a long time. Legend has it that our family even has the bloodline of the Spring Goddess - just like the Grand Duke's family."
"I am very honored to hear you introduce this great man." Fang Xin said, and this means that he naturally wants him to talk about the goddess.
The Count was a little surprised, but still introduced: "Goddess Emiya is the goddess of springs and guardians, and also controls the field of plants. He has always been the goddess of protection in this area and the goddess of our family. Since I was very young, I once felt the grace of the goddess. I understand that this is the land of our ancestors and the land I will guard!"
Then, the Count spent half an hour briefly narrating his past history, including his commendation and influence in the Church of the Goddess of the Spring Water.
When talking about him recently, the count's voice became much deeper: "I recently built a temple for the goddess of spring water so that her sacred water sources can appear in the places of my descendants, protecting them as they have protected our ancestors for thousands of years."
Speaking of this, his melancholy expression obviously has discovered the disadvantages.
"Mr. Earl, I think you have understood the root of your situation. Yes, the number of people who believe in other gods is increasing now, but you are the first great lord in the nearby area to openly establish a temple of pagan gods - I think that the Church of the God of Light calls you and your goddess."
"After the Thirty Years of War, although the church of God of Light was severely hit, it still has a very powerful force. When facing the chaotic situation, I have to say that you chose the wrong time." Fang Xin said coldly: "I think the Holy See is willing to tie you and your family to the stake-the nobles and churches who believe in God of Light nearby have been mobilized."
"And your lord, I have to say, although they are both descendants of the goddess, their faith has long been shaken, and the territory you now master has reached the level of a marquis. If you consider your powerful influence in the goddess's belief, I think the Grand Duke's attitude towards you is already very obvious-at least you will not receive help."
Fang Xin heard a gurgling sound, which was an uneasy action. The Count thought about it, but he still retained the style of a knight and asked frankly: "Master Daniel, then what are you going to do?"
Behind this frankness, there is the Count's doubts.
"The first type is that you give up your goddess, openly atone for the church of God of Light, demolish the newly built goddess temple, and convert it into the church of God of Light." Fang Xin smiled.
"This is impossible!" The count said without thinking and refused.
"The second point is war. I think you can only achieve the final result by fighting or even a few battles with the nobles nearby who believe in the God of Light." Fang Xin continued: "Like other kingdoms and regions, use force to determine who is right and who is wrong."
"Of course, you can find ways to make sums, but I don't think it makes sense."
After saying that, Fang Xin left a talisman and said, "If you have any decision, I will repay your kindness."
As he said that, he bowed a little and said goodbye.
Strictly speaking, if you actually enter the holy realm after level 20, you will be considered as level 5.
However, since the rules of this world are more relaxed than the main world, after level 17, you will have some special forces at level 5 - although they are external forces.
Three Leaf Continent
In the coastal areas, tens of thousands of people gathered in front of a newly built temple.
This is the first large temple on the Three Leaf Continent to worship the earth and the goddess of the underworld, Mediels.
The temple is generally divided into four levels:
First of all, there is the altar, where basically only one formal priest is stationed, and only hundreds of believers can be maintained.
A small temple is usually a formal priest, several trainee pastors, usually more than 500 believers can be maintained, and has the function of cultivating a pastor.
Medium-sized temples, which are mostly the location of a diocese. With a bishop as the host, this temple is not only a function, but is usually the garrison of the seminary, the Paladin Academy, and the religious force groups.
Large temples, which are usually the residence of archbishops who govern several dozen dioceses, or are places where special religious deeds occur.
The construction of this great temple on the Three Leaf Continent marked the establishment of the great base for the faith of the earth and the goddess of the underworld, and of course the significance was completely different - there are only three similar great temples now.
The temple is separated by marble stone pillars, and the interior is wide and dark, allowing thousands of people to pray together. There are seven towers in the temple, which are the residence of the priests and trainee priests.
Tens of thousands of believers entered this place with the pope and saw that the 81 high marble pillars solemnly supported an independent space.
There are no domes or windows in the temple, but they are filled with light, which seems to illuminate from the air, the light is soft and hazy, making the intruder feel the vastness of God.
Inside, the divine prayer continued, and just then, not far away, a door of light opened.
Fang Xin stepped out.
The eighth-level magic portal can establish a two-way spatial connection between two locations on the same surface and create a circular portal. This is based on the locking Archbishop Barnier. No, it is now the breath of Pope Barnier.
Around the temple, Fang Xin felt the hymns that resounded through the clouds and the sacred pillar of light that ran through the heaven and earth.
After the large-scale prayer was over, Fang Xin appeared before Pope Barnier.
In the small prayer room at the back of the temple, Pope Banier was kneeling alone in front of the altar, silently praying to the sacred light on the altar.
Before we knew it, the entire prayer room was covered with holy light.
Fang Xin's appearance did not surprise him. He turned around after he finished praying, and his golden eyes were shining with light.
However, when he saw Fang Xin, he was still surprised.
The level 16 mage was not able to surprise him yet. It was Fang Xin's soul, and he could no longer see clearly, and only had the glory condensed to the extreme.
Fang Xin didn't say anything, but took out a ball of Xuanhei. Among the ball of Xuanhei, there seemed to be countless people crying in it. He didn't say it or urged him, but just held it quietly.
Pope Barnier stared at the black ball, and he felt the deepest resonance in his soul.
