Chapter 254: Sacred Promise
......
Under the persuasion of Fu Jiaye, Liuli had no choice but to go to the Holy Church first.
When they reached the suspended land on the top floor, they saw a magnificent building standing in the distance of the city.
There is a long staircase outside the door of the Holy Church, and below it is a beautiful fountain. He was surrounded by pedestrians, many priests in robes passing by.
This church is thousands of years old, and after the commotion of magical creatures, seven great magicians have stepped forward. They combined the beliefs of various peoples to establish this holy church.
Ruri waited for about twenty minutes in the central sanctuary of the Holy Church, and finally met the bishop here.
After a brief conversation, the two sides went straight to the point.
Bishop Orser bowed to Ruri, "I deeply regret the passing of your father. He left an item with me when he died, do you want to take it back?"
Ruri nodded.
Osher nodded to a clergyman next to him, who left for a few minutes before walking out with a metal tray.
Fu Jiaye took the tray from him, lifted the layer of cloth on it, and found that it was a cylindrical item.
It's not like metal, but it's very hard. Ruri discovers that the material of this thing is the same as the black magic book of the Grand Academy. It can block out all magical energy, and no matter what tools you use, you can't destroy it!
It has a hexagonal groove at the top. Liuli's heart moved, there was a six-pointed star ornament on his body, could it be the key to this thing?
Ruri took off her necklace and took out the hexagonal key. Embedded it on top, and sure enough, it was seamless.
She spun it slightly, and she heard a "click", and the thing was turned on.
There was a white light inside, which was very dazzling even during the day, and everyone's pupils contracted for a while.
Liuli took out a three-dimensional triangular crystal from it, and a ball of lightning was sealed inside, and it was filled with a trace of electric arc, and this energy seemed to never disappear.
"Oh my God!"
The people around shouted in surprise. They originally belonged to hostile forces, and they used to fight to the death for this thing. No one thought that Ruri's father would actually put it in the holy church.
Liuli also found a letter inside, so she took it out, and it was indeed her father's handwriting:
"To my dear daughter, when you see this, it means that I am no longer alive. If you encounter an enemy ambush, it means that the other party has guessed that this thing is in my hands. You can give it to the Holy Church through Pastor Osser, and let him keep you safe. In addition to this, you can also make a request to the bishop of the Holy Church, and I am sure they will accept it!"
Ruri's first instinct was that this thing was dangerous. In order to get it, Zhuo Shu'an actually ambushed himself on the road, and his marriage contract with him may be just a pretense.
Liuli said to the Fu family next to him: "Steward Fu, what do you say?"
Fu Jiaye said: "Just do what your father said." Now that Oser has become a bishop, he has saved a lot of trouble. ”
Ruri handed the letter to Osher and asked, "Lord Bishop, is this thing useful to you?"
Osser's expression had regained his composure, and he said in a deep voice: "Your father's decision is correct, if this thing falls into the hands of bad people, it will definitely have serious consequences, and it is a wise choice to hand it over to the Holy Church." ”
He paused and said, "On behalf of the Holy Church, I express my sincere gratitude to your father. As your father said, as long as it doesn't violate ethics, we will try to fulfill one of your requests. May I ask the little girl, what do you want?"
"I haven't thought about this yet!"
"Haha, don't be in a hurry, you can go back and think slowly, my promise has always been valid. ”
Fu Jiaye and Augustine glanced at each other, the current Miracle Guild did not have the ability to contend with the entire dark force. Throwing this hot potato to the holy church, and you can make a request to them, it is really beneficial for both parties.
Fu Jiaye said: "In this way, please ask the bishop to write a contract in the name of the Holy Church." When our lady needs it, we will ask you for it. ”
Osser smiled: "He is worthy of being the butler of the Clark family, and he is thoughtful." Pastor Foday, please go and get a sacred scroll. ”
A clergyman walked out behind him, and after a while, he came back with a glittering golden scroll.
Orser magically wrote a contract on it, stamped himself and the Holy Church, and the agreement between the two parties became official.
Osser said kindly: "Miss Liuli, as long as you come over with this contract, we will try our best to meet your request, please take it!"
Ruri exchanged what she had in her hand with Orsher.
She looked down at the contract in her hand and saw that it glowed golden. Its value is also immeasurable. If you want, you can even exchange it for ninth-level magic!Of course, the premise is that the Holy Church has ninth-level magic.
Osser said in a sincere tone, "Miss Liuli, your father and I have been friends for many years. If you have any trouble in Sky City, you can always come to me. ”
Liuli put away the contract book and said crisply, "You don't want to send me away with just one thing, do you?"
"Haha, I'm saying this from the standpoint of a friend, and it has nothing to do with the contract just now. ”
"That's pretty much it. ”
The two sides exchanged some polite words. At this moment, a clergyman walked in from outside and said respectfully, "Lord Bishop, the people of the Heavenly Knights have returned. They sacrificed two members, but they finally brought back the Coffin of the Damned, do you want to go and see it?"
Osser nodded, turned to Liuli, and said, "Stay in the seminary here first, and I will keep my promise and do my best to ensure your safety." ”
Fu Jiaye said: "No need! We rented a courtyard in Sky City, and we were accompanied by more than a dozen partners. ”
Osser was stunned for a moment: "Okay then, you can take a walk, and if you need to, you can come to me at any time." ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency. ”
Liuli, accompanied by Fu Jiaye, left the Holy Church.
They slowly walked down the steps, and Ruri asked, "What is that crystal bottom?"
Fu Jiaye was silent for a long time: "It contains infinite power, and I don't know the specific function, I only know that the Black Society has been looking for this thing." ”
Augustine said, "After today's events, the Extreme Workshop should turn its attention to the Holy Church, which is a good thing!"
Fu Jiaye sighed: "It can be seen from here that the master has exhausted all his strength in order to protect Miss. ”
Liuli was silent for a while. She was actually a bit of a stranger to her father, and she had rarely seen him at home before.
Fu Jiaye glanced at Liuli, and hurriedly said, "Miss, aren't you going to the headquarters of the Magic Association?" “
Liuli said sweetly: "Okay, by the way, investigate the price of the house here, I hope to build the headquarters of the union in the upper city." “
The three of them walked along the bustling street to an empty intersection and found that there was a housing rental and sales center opposite, and Liliu walked directly into it.
When she saw the price of the houses here, she was immediately shocked, the houses here are really expensive.
There are a total of thirty-six suspended lands in this city, and even the lowest suspended land, a dwelling of more than 100 square meters, costs more than 1,000 gold coins.
At this price, you can almost buy a villa of several acres in Grand City.
If you want to build a union, then it must have an area of at least 1,000 square meters. In this way, it is more than 10,000 gold coins, which is too exaggerated, right?
Liuli looked at the house information on the wall in a daze, and found that there was a ready-made union for sale on the 26th suspended land. According to the clerk, this union was originally ranked around nineteenth in the Holy Light Empire.
I heard that they took on several legendary missions, but they failed, so many people were sacrificed. The union has been disbanded, leaving only a ruin.
The price of this piece of land is as high as 39,000 gold coins, which is really ridiculously expensive.
But this place must be very good, Liuli suddenly felt a little excited.
Fu Jiaye persuaded beside him: "Miss, it's better for us to rent a place, this place is too expensive." “
Augustine also said: "As long as we are given a few years, we can develop the union slowly, and there is no need to rush it." “
Liuli ignored them, thinking that her bank account had about six thousand gold coins, although it was not enough. However, it can still be done with some financial means.
So I asked, "Can I pay for this land in installments?"
A clerk came up to her: "I'm sorry, this piece of land has to be paid for in cash." “
"Why?"
"You may not know it, there are a lot of people grabbing this place. In this bounty city, there is no better plot of land than this one. The Magic Guild wants to leave this place to a truly powerful guild, so it does not accept installments and mortgages. They will even investigate your union's debts and decide whether to sell to you or not. “
"It's so annoying, why do you want to do this?"
The clerk thought she was so cute, and said with a smile: "There is no way, this bounty city is up to the Magic Association." And this land belongs to them, and they can do whatever they want. “
"Okay. “
Liuli walked out of the housing rental and sales center sullenly and complained: "The Magic Association is too good, the entire Sky City is controlled by it, why don't the members of the royal family take care of it?"
Augustine smiled: "Miss doesn't know, the biggest shareholders of the Magic Association are the Holy Light Empire and the Holy Church. In a way, it's also their biggest source of income. “
"I see. “
