For the muttering of the two in the back, the face of the clergyman of the church did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he still calmly led the way in front, and soon came to the room where the bishop in charge of the Cathedral of St. John was located.

The bishop, or cardinal to be exact, is the administrator of St. John's Cathedral, and in fact the administrator of the Christian power in this area, second only to the Pope.

Jiang Xin didn't know whether this pope was a mascot-like existence or a terrifying old monster, but this did not affect the status of the current cardinal named Timothy Michael Duran.

Of course, to be honest, Jiang Xin actually didn't know which school of Christianity the cardinal in front of him was, and it was not good to say that there was no such thing as a pope in this sect, so the status of the person in front of him was only high or low.

Coupled with the degree of convergence of Qi Ji in this eye, according to domestic calculations, it should be at least the level of the top ten-head. Sure enough, both at home and abroad, they all follow a principle, the older the stronger!

"Hello, Mr. Ochomo from the Exorcist Manor and... Jiang Xin? Raising his head and taking a closer look at Jiang Xin's appearance, Bishop Duran seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly showed a hint of understanding.

Then he got to the point: "I already know what you are here for. There are many in the Gargoyle Chapel, but all of them are precious treasures..."

"So we brought you this thing." Philip stepped forward and placed the [Jealousy] dagger seized from Finney's hand in front of him: "One of the seven deadly sins, the church should have been looking for this weapon for a long time. ”

Reaching out and brushing the ordinary-looking dagger, Duran's eyes flashed with color, and he raised his head to look at Philip: "What do you all know?" ”

"It should be the whole thing." Philip smiled: "I happened to meet the people of the Hell Organization, so I took the seven deadly sins in their hands, if you are not interested in this dagger, we can take it back." ”

"No need, just stay here." Bishop Duran rejected Philip's proposal, reached out and picked up [Jealousy], carefully tucked it into a weapon box, and then looked at the two of them: "Since the manor has made this kind of parting, the church is also happy to exchange some gifts. ”

After thinking about it, he took out a piece of white paper with a few lines of small characters written on it from the drawer of the wooden table and put it on the table: "This is your return gift." ”

Philip took the blank paper and looked at it, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and then he bowed slightly to Bishop Duran: "In that case, we won't continue to bother you." ”

After saying goodbye, the two walked out of the room and walked to an extremely remote room led by a priest, and in the center of the room, several hideous-looking gargoyles were already placed.

It wasn't until the robed priest took the door and left completely that Jiang Xin looked at Philip: "I remember you told me before that the church was brutally beaten down by the manor..."

"yes." Philip nodded: "Their status in the Inhuman world has been replaced by our manor, but their status in the world of ordinary people is even higher, not to mention the influence or anything, the church's annual income is dozens or hundreds of times that of the manor." And in this country, rich is strong. ”

"The federal government doesn't care?"

"It used to be managed, but now it won't." Philip shrugged: "The Church suffered heavy losses in that battle, the Pope and many bishops died, and its position plummeted. ”

"In order to make up for the loss, they brought in a large number of ordinary people to serve in important positions in the church, and the aliens shrank and managed important assets, which promoted the development of the church, and the federal government had the right to prevent the church from expanding, but they did not do their best to prevent ordinary people from becoming clergy, which is related to faith."

"In this way, the Federation can only attack the Church, but even if a large amount of wealth and power is limited, their position among ordinary people will not weaken, and in terms of the wealth and resources they consume, they are more comfortable than the Inhumans of any school, and the only thing to do is to put down the previous shelf and become a priesthood who concentrates on 'serving' God."

Hearing this, Jiang Xin thought of the Heavenly Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain, but the church was much more restrained than the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and the cathedrals scattered all over the country were their unshakable private property, coupled with their lofty status and huge wealth, it was enough to become the envy of most strangers.

"Speaking of which, this Bishop Durán should really be grateful to our estate, we helped him kill the Catholic Pope and a large number of cardinals and bishops of the three religions, otherwise he would not have become as exalted as he is now."

"Now he has been sent the [jealousy] of the seven deadly sins, tsk, this bishop is really lucky."

“......”

Jiang Xin had nothing to say about Philip's emotion, so he could only silently study the gargoyles in front of him who didn't know what year they were produced, and Philip found some alchemy books from somewhere and studied them.

Gargoyles, a form of alchemy that is now rare, and the original intention of the creator of this technique is unknown, but since the moment it was born, it is an advanced technique that combines the dual realms of life and matter, and the various gargoyles created by it are widely used in residential guards.

Compared with the clay sculpture method mastered by Jiang Xin, the technique used by the gargoyle is another form.

The core is a charged spar made of alchemy, and the body is made of various stone metals, and then carved with a unique alchemy pattern array, you can get gargoyles of different strengths.

As mentioned earlier, Jiang Xin's own attainments in alchemy are not very good, and when he thoroughly understands the operation mechanism of gargoyles, Philip comes in handy, he can act as an intermediate mediator, so that Jiang Xin can accurately find what he needs from the gargoyles.

Jiang Xin still remembered what he had come to the gargoyle for—to perfect the clay figurine.

The clay figurine technique obtained in China was extremely exquisite at first glance, but after such a long time, Jiang Xin had already understood why these clay sculptures had such special means.

Just like those innate aliens in the inhumans, the difference between the innate Qi and the Qi in the meridians causes them to have different abilities, and when it comes to the clay sculpture, the reason is actually similar.

Different materials of clay and fibers are different flesh and blood, meridians, and the exercises practiced by the Yang family allow their Qi to remain in the most original state, although there are no characteristics, but they can be turned into an innate smell of clay sculpture to give life, and in this way, they can evolve different abilities.

The clay flesh cooperates with the delicate meridians, and there is the existence of the clay sculpture. But after looking at Andrew's body, Jiang Xin discovered some new ideas.

Lian Qi Shi pays attention to the meridians and qi, so the existence of clay sculptures is also based on the meridians. But now, even people can use flesh and blood to contain abilities in it, so why can't clay sculptures?

Perhaps this method will put great pressure on the clay sculptures, so that the time they exist will be greatly reduced, but judging from the time that those clay sculptures exist, even if the lifespan is reduced by half, they can live longer than people, at least there should be no problem in sending Jiang Xin away.

The clay sculpture of the Yang family can make the clay sculpture that should be lifeless become like flesh and blood; Artificial human technology can seal the ability that should exist by relying on meridians into the physical body; Gargoyles, which augment their shells with stronger materials and can slowly repair themselves while in their stone state.

The three are one, and Jiang Xin can already imagine what the thing that was finally born is.

You think it's a clay figure, its body is harder than a sword, it has more abilities than you, it lives longer than you, even if it is injured, it can continue to repair it with the passage of time, even if it is not worse than Ma Xianhong's black and white puppets.

If you want to say that the only flaw may be that the requirements for materials are relatively high, it is the ability to require kryptonite. But Jiang Xin's father shouldn't be short of money... Right?

Time passed, Jiang Xin and the two carefully dismantled the gargoyles that had been 'eliminated' by the church, drawing useful knowledge from them to continuously make up for the defects of the clay sculptures, and outside, Bishop Duran was also staring at the two of them motionlessly.

Although the manor helped him a lot, there is still a great difference between the two ideologies, the two are not a cooperative relationship, but a simple exchange of interests, for the manor, although the church has no idea of revenge, but has never let down its vigilance.

Now that he has a rare opportunity to see the spirit detectives coming out of the manor, Duran naturally will not give up this opportunity, and beside him are several other bishops.

"What are they doing here?" Watching the two of them completely dismantle the expensive gargoyle into a pile of stone metal that didn't exist, one of the bishops' brows furrowed tightly: "This is a valuable gargoyle!" They just dismantled it!? ”

"Maybe I'm studying the inner workings of the gargoyle and trying to recreate this alchemy form." Another bishop pondered for a moment: "When it comes to gargoyle techniques, the gargoyles in our church should be the best, and since we want to learn, we naturally need to find the best teaching materials." ”

"50 gargoyles can't compare to a master-level alchemy product, they must have other purposes."

"What does this have to do with us, the exchange of interests has been completed, even if they can reproduce the gargoyle, it won't make us suffer any loss, the gargoyle is forbidden to circulate."

“......”

For several days, several bishops watched silently as Jiang Xin completely dismantled one gargoyle after another in the room. Until they finally left the church, it was not clear what exactly the two had gotten from the gargoyle.

......

"How's it going to happen this time?" Jiang Yuan looked at Jiang Xin.

"Not bad." Jiang Xin nodded, and then frowned again: "But I always feel that there is still something missing." ”

"What's that?"

"Five Elements Spell." Jiang Xin's eyes lit up: "I have successfully integrated clay sculptures, stone statues and human-making techniques, and I named them 'statues'." Although it is not completely completed yet, the direction and program are already in place, and the rest will only take time. ”

"But compared to the method of pinching and carving, I also need the Five Elements Technique: Earth, which allows me to use the 'statue' faster, and telekinetic engraving is feasible, but it is too slow."

Just a moment, Jiang Yuan heard Jiang Xin's plan: "You are going to turn that 'metamorphosis' into an instant combat method, but is this going against its original 'subtle' original intention?" ”

"One person, one use." Jiang Xin smiled: "It is indeed good to carve one or more artifacts in a few years and months, but it is also a method to create many statues with different abilities in an instant. ”

"I haven't come to the time of seclusion now, so naturally I am comfortable dealing with the enemy, and I will find a place to live in seclusion when the world is invincible, and then slowly carve the statue at that time."

"It's a good idea..."Jiang Yuan was silent for a moment, and then suddenly laughed: "But you're going to be disappointed, I don't have the Five Elements Spell here." ”

"No ???" Jiang Xin was full of suspicion: "Last time, you used a few hair to pull me in the interior scene, who are you bluffing?" ”

"That's Taiyi Shenshu, a kind of math." Jiang Yuan explained: "This number technique is dominated by the calculation of heavenly machines, and it may also be related to the use of spells, but in the case of Qimen Dunjia, this method has not been handed down." ”

"What about Qimen Dunjia?"

"I didn't learn." Jiang Yuan spread his hands: "Your grandfather has amazing means in Qimen Dunjia, but it doesn't mean that I can do it, on the contrary, I have a very poor talent in it, even if I barely learn it, I can't master it, so I just inherited Taiyi." ”

"As for Qimen Dunjia, there are many warlocks in China, so wait until you go back and learn it yourself. Or stay here, this place pays attention to the four elements of earth, fire, water and wind, although the earth element is not a spell, but it can also achieve your needs..."

"I remember." Jiang Yuan suddenly stopped: "Your nominal mother, she should have the means to do this, she seems to be a professor in an academy in Europe, you can go to her." ”

"Nominally?"

"You don't have to worry about that." Jiang Yuan waved his hand: "If you want to go, I'll send you over, otherwise you will continue to cultivate here for a while, and after reaching my standard, I will be able to send you back to China with confidence." ”

"What standard?"

Jiang Yuan smiled: "Hold on to Michael's attack for half an hour, and you can't be touched once." ”

Jiang Xin thought of the previous scene when Michael turned Carmon into a puddle of meat, and his face twitched slightly: "I thought about it for a while, and I think it is more suitable for me to be in Europe." ”

"That's good." Jiang Yuan was also very satisfied with the answer given by Jiang Xin, but at the end he added: "Don't think about rerouting back to China halfway, I have a private jet." ”

"As for the airport, I'll practice that one in advance

"That's good." Jiang Yuan was also very satisfied with the answer given by Jiang Xin, but at the end he added: "Don't think about rerouting back to China halfway, I have a private jet." ”
