Volume 1 The Vanishing Lands Chapter 5

"Your Excellency Taylor, the Bishop of Brett wants us to accompany you to investigate the situation of the Fourth Legion, and I wonder if you can inform us of the details of the other three legions in Bret, such as their military distribution and garrison. One of the chief priests asked.

"I'm sorry, but this belongs to Brett's military secret, and I don't know either. Taylor replied with a shake of his head.

"And what about Brett's response?" the chief priest continued.

"Sorry, I don't know. Taylor smiled wryly.

"Then why did you let our people of Red accompany you to take this risk!" the chief priest shouted, shouting angrily. Immediately, the flow of four-colored aura could be faintly seen on the blue robe.

Bishop Red frowned and said, "Chief Priest Kule, calm down, this is the council hall, not your sacrificial academy!" After saying that, the red and blue aura on the bishop's body burst out, enveloping the entire council hall. Seeing this scene, Taylor couldn't help but be a little stunned, because the aura emitted by this bishop was so oppressive, and the most surprising thing was that the color of her aura, red and blue were almost the same concentration, which meant that she could have two aura talents. When cultivating the aura, ordinary people mainly focus on the cultivation of the main aura, although they can have a variety of aura, but they can only choose one kind of aura talent. Because the breath talent is comprehended according to the concentration of your breath, if you cultivate multiple breaths, in addition to the sacrifice can be comprehended through rituals, it is impossible for ordinary cultivators to comprehend the two breath talents, even if you are a genius, but the sacrifice can only use the four breaths through the ritual, and cannot be used freely, of course, you will not comprehend a variety of breath talents, and the sacrificial talent is also single. Therefore, it is difficult to have a single breath, but it is even more difficult to have two breaths of equal concentration, and perhaps no one will be able to master it for thousands of years. And the aura talent is a way to break through after you can master the level 6 breath skill, and the talent of each breather will not be exactly the same, although it may be similar, but it will not be the same. Different aura talents determine different cultivation paths, with skill bonuses, support, and defense. So maybe you are a blue breather, but your talent is defensive, then your breath skill after level 7 can have a healing bonus, but also a defense bonus, and this breather is very popular in every legion.

Looking at Bishop Red's two-color aura, Taylor couldn't help but be even more curious about her, such a young person has such a high aura concentration, and it is also a once-in-a-millennium dual-aura talent, coupled with a keen military vision, such a person can no longer be described as a genius.

"Lord Taylor, forgive Chief Priest Kule for being rude, but I would also like to know what the Brett tribe can give us if we agree to your request, and if this action accidentally triggers a war between Rand and the Blatter Fourth Legion, will the Brett tribe come to the rescue? In addition, we know very little about the situation in your Brett tribe, aside from Brett's military deployment, the distribution of Brat, the main military strength, the supply situation, and the garrison situation in Bret, we don't know anything about this, we are not sure about this kind of war, can we act rashly like this worthy of our people in Red?" Bishop Red's tone was visibly tougher.

"That being said, but are we going to play with the source of the breath, is it just our Brett's?"

"Little one, don't threaten us with the source of the breath!" The chief priest named Kule suddenly stood up and shouted: "In terms of military strength, you Brett is dozens of times more than ours, if you can't guarantee the safety of the source of the breath, how can we guarantee it?" And you have to figure it out, if you want us to help, show some sincerity, don't think that the matter of the origin breath to threaten us can let my people of Red die for you in vain, according to me, the relationship between our two tribes is not good enough to be born and die because of a word!"

After listening to Taylor, Taylor was speechless, everyone looked at Taylor, hoping that he could give an explanation, Taylor glanced at Bishop Red, and was about to speak, when Phoches, who was beside him, stood up.

"Your Excellency Bishop Red, and this High Priest of Kule, may I say a word?" said Foxes. Bishop Red nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"Actually, I think you're in a wrong situation now, it's not that we Brett are asking for your help, but just to inform you of your current situation. Although I don't know about this document, and I don't know how much the Church knows about the source of the breath, as far as I know, it seems that Brett never thought of needing you people to die for us. The peep of the three major legions in Brett on the source of the breath can tell you that there are indeed only so many things written in the literature, and even without your help, there is still a way to solve the protection of the source, as for the movement of the Fourth Legion, we don't know much information, but for the current strategic assessment, we think that Blatter's Fourth Legion will make some moves, so we have this document to inform you, I hope you can explore the Fourth Legion to make strategic choices, and we can make strategic adjustments according to the specific situation. The absence of news from the Fourth Legion is not a big deal for us, it is nothing more than the need to divide troops to guard against the threat from the south, but you have to grasp the matter of the Fourth Legion and ignore the main problem, are you high-ranking people with small bellies!" As Fogches's words fell, there was silence in the council hall, and even Bishop Red looked at him in surprise. The previous high priest glared at Phoches but had nothing to refute.

Suddenly, Bishop Red burst into applause, and there was a hint of affirmation in his eyes. Everyone looked at the two of them in a daze.

"Queen Samon's subordinates are indeed all talented generals, and it seems that there is indeed a reason why the Samon royal family can compete with the church. Bishop Red applauded. Then he put away his breath and walked towards the door, Taylor knew that Bishop Red was leaving, and thought that there must be no room for mediation in this meeting. Bishop Kred paused at the door and said, "Kule, prepare your men and go with Lord Taylor and Lord Forches to the Forges Castle to investigate. With that, he walked out of the chamber. The others watched with a little displeasure as Forge walked out, but the bishop's orders were still to be obeyed, and as soon as they went out, they began to prepare for this expedition to the Forge Castle.

Taylor and Forge also returned to their lodgings and began to prepare. When Taylor returned, he went out to the Breath Exchange and bought some Qi Gathering Beads and Breath supplies. The Qi Gathering Bead is a must-have equipment for every breather, and the Qi Gathering Bead can store the breath, store part of your breath in it in advance, and use it when the breath is close to exhaustion in battle, and you can instantly replenish the breath to continue the battle. However, the use of the Qi Gathering Bead also requires its own breath to condense, so once its own breath is exhausted, the Qi Gathering Bead cannot be replenished. Taylor returned to the hostel after buying the necessities, and when he saw that Foxes had not prepared anything, he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to buy a few beads?"

Folches glanced lazily at Taylor and said, "I didn't say I was going." ”

Taylor couldn't help but get angry after hearing this: "It's all now, you said you won't go?"

"I never said I was going to the Forge Castle, you were going to the Church of Your Sacrifice, and my mission was to hunt for treasure, but now it seems that the treasure hunt is impossible, so I will naturally go back to the queen to get my life. With that, Phoches lay down on the bed and prepared to rest.

Taylor was a little speechless, but he was also telling the truth, originally he came to Fortress Red mainly for the mission of the church, Foxes didn't know anything, and he was a member of the royal family and had no obligation to fulfill the church's words, even so, Taylor still felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

"And what are you going to do tomorrow?" Taylor asked.

"Didn't I say revenge to the Queen?" Foxes closed his eyes and ignored Taylor.

Taylor instantly felt that he couldn't communicate with Phoches, so he ignored him and began to condense his breath into the Qi Gathering Bead alone. Although Phoches on the bed did not have the idea of going to the Crucible Castle together, he was also thinking about some of the things he had seen in his own heart when he came to Red in the past few days, among which the most impressive was Bishop of Red, although he didn't know how this Bishop of Red cultivated, but the dual breath talent she displayed in the council hall had made Folches a little jealous. Although Phoches was the nephew of Queen Samon, he never thought that he was any different from others, and although he was in the royal family, he never had any ideas about politics. Queen Samon once also wanted Phoches to enter the Imperial Cabinet, because the amazing talent he showed since he was a child has made the Royal Cabinet have the idea of making him a member of the Cabinet, but Folches only likes to practice, and after graduating from the Academy of Breath at the age of sixteen, he joined the army and began to serve on the front, during which Phoches participated in the Battle of Vatlil, although Phoches did not have any significant achievements in that battle, but the commander of the regiment to which he belonged praised him, because the self-confidence he showed on the battlefield was not available to many recruits.

After the Battle of Vatlil, the commander of the Fletces intended to keep him in the army, but the royal family refused for him, and Queen Samon still hoped that Forge could assist the royal family, but he was not interested in politics, so he did nothing every day, doing some strange experiments in the palace, and looking for people everywhere to experiment with new breath skills, which gave Queen Samon a headache. As Blatter's three legions began to approach the source of the breath, Queen Samon had no intention of distracting him anymore and gave him a random task to go outside for training. And Phoches was also troubled by the slow progress of the comprehension of the breath talent, so he wanted to try his luck. Since the end of his service, Phoches's breath mark has almost reached the crimson level, but he has not been able to comprehend the talent, so he can only look at the level 7 breath skill, but he can't learn it, which makes him annoyed. When he was in the army, Forge showed signs of comprehending his talent, but after being forced to recall to the palace, he never felt that way again. This time, Phoches wanted to experience another experience in Mason Forest, so that he could successfully comprehend the breakthrough, but who knows what church documents Taylor was holding, and then came to Red inexplicably. Every time he thinks of this, Phoches can't wait to beat Taylor, but the royal family of the sacrificial church can't easily clash, otherwise the consequences will be very serious, Folches had to endure it, until today he finally waited for the opportunity to leave Red, he didn't want to care about the Forge Castle, although on the way to the Priest the old priest told a lot of things about the Forge Castle, he did feel a little excited in his heart, but for now, his main task is to comprehend the talent.

"Lord Bishop, why did you accede to Brett's request?" In the office of the dean's office of the Church College, Cooler and several priests of the Crucible Castle who were going to go tomorrow discussed the itinerary for tomorrow.

"Dean Cooler, how much information do we have about Blatter?" the bishop asked quietly.

"Based on the intelligence of these decades, not much is understood. Culle replied.

"I know you're all thinking about Red, but if we keep cowering in Red's Fortress like this, even if Blatter can't break through this fortress for the time being, what about the future? Judging from what Taylor said about Blat, these Blats are no longer the monsters that only killed people hundreds of years ago, and how many years have we not looked for a way to fight Blatter since the Battle of Crucible?"

"It's ......," Kule was speechless.

"I know that we people of Rader have suffered a lot, but are we going to cower in the fortress all the time? When our ancestors moved us into this Rader Fortress, I don't think their purpose was to let us escape from Blat, but to give us a place to gather strength and then fight off Blat. But what has become of our Red Fortress over the years? Afraid of war, running away from war, not even thinking of resisting. Is it because these decades have been too comfortable? Don't you want to know why Blatter didn't start a war and invade us? Although we can have a temporary stability by blindly preserving ourselves, if Brett is destroyed by Bret, can we still stay comfortably in this fortress?" Bishop Red looked at the dark night in the distance and shook his head helplessly, and continued: "The two people who came from Blatter are about the same age as me, but I think the concentration of their breath should have been known when you performed the ritual, right?" The bishop asked the old man.

"Yes, I didn't see their markings, but I think their breath concentration markings should be at least above moderate and approaching depth, especially that royal lad. His aura is very pure, it is a rare pure monochrome breath, the concentration of red aura is quite amazing, if I guess correctly, his aura concentration is comparable to mine, but he has no comprehension talent so he has not been able to improve for a long time. As for that Taylor, I don't know if he's a priest or a normal breather, although he is a member of the sacrificial church and the color of his breath is also a four-color breath, but his blue aura is beyond the scope of a normal sacrifice. The old man replied with trepidation that Brett's new generation was so good.

"Do you hear that, Dean Culler?" and how many of these people are there in our house?" the bishop asked, turning to Culler. Cullet shook his head. In fact, there have been no powerful breathers in Red for many years, and the battle in the Crucible Castle was a great injury to Red's vitality, and many excellent Red breathers and priests died in the Crucible Castle, followed by the decline of many inherited bloodlines and the ruin of the royal family, until now, the entire Red has been supported by the sacrificial academy and the church. The impact of the Crucible Castle War is far less than this, and the decline in population has caused many people to be reluctant to let their children become breathers, because a war that will break out at any time is likely to cause a family to lose their only child, so many families deliberately affect their children's cultivation, and even prefer to find someone to deprive them of their breath, so that they can have hope of living. In order to maintain their armaments, the academy can only look for wandering children and those who have been separated from their relatives from all over the world to come back and train them, and once there are conditions to become breathers, the academy will force them to enter the church to study, and let them be sent to the battlefield.

"We have been coerced by Bratt for so long, and we really need a war, a victory, to awaken those instincts that are consumed by fear. The bishop said, "You don't have to say any more, Kule, I know your concerns, but as the bishop, I want to think about the future of our Red." ”
