Volume 15 The War of Kings Chapter 57 The Successor of Bethlehem

5369 Continental Calendar.

Due to the war between the kings, the situation on the Abōro continent has changed dramatically.

On the side of the bright camp that occupies the rich central continent, last year's Heavenly Damnation Monarch attacked the center of the Holy See, although it was finally repelled by the Holy See, but the center of the Holy See also suffered heavy losses, the new successor of the Redeemed Monarch was killed, and three of the five dioceses guarding the center completely fell and their strength was greatly weakened.

Coupled with the fact that the Terror Monarch Ostram and the Pious Monarch Nair did not appear in this war of royal invasion, some people suspect that these two monarchs are in fact long dead, which has caused the influence of the Holy See to further weaken the major dioceses, and the deterrent effect is almost none, and many of the previous efforts and prestige of Pilduca II are gone.

In such a situation, there are already several powerful dioceses that claim to be the true place of the spread of light, but despite this, the center is powerless to stop it at this time.

It is worth mentioning that the Bishop of Bethlehem, Landiston, has obtained the express consent of the Central Committee to become an independent diocese, although his Bishop Lantiston has never declared himself a "new pope", but this does not prevent the faithful from calling him the title of "Bethlehem of the East".

Due to the death of the previous French Emperor Adriman, coupled with the heavy damage suffered by the Holy See this time, the kings of the entire light camp except for the unknown Luo Lan, only the unclear attitude of the conquest monarch Caterina was left on the surface, and the nobles who did not know the reality of the dark camp were panicked, and they all expanded their armaments to prepare for the next invasion of the dark kingdom that could come at any time.

But they didn't know that the dark camp at this time was not as glamorous as it seemed on the surface.

On the side of the dark camp, the Titan monarch Bandocini has been in a dying state, the Blood Monarch Gustavus is missing, the undead monarch Dilomas has been missing for a long time, and the Dark Monarch Ulysses is also unknown in his life and death. I don't know what the origin of the Monarch of Damnation seems to be in opposition to the light camp, but it has never meant to protect the dark camp.

Speaking of which, they were even weaker than the Light Camp, and when they saw the Light Camp expanding their army and lacking confidence, they also felt nervous, and they had to recruit knights and build weapons together.

In general, due to the unknown battle between the kings, and the lack of information, the two forces are unable to make accurate judgments, only the answers to various speculations, and the two sides are now in a relatively delicate and strange balance, and it seems that the flames of war may be ignited at any time, but in fact, each is afraid that the other side will be the first to raise the butcher's knife against him.

However, there were some well-informed nobles in both camps, who knew that the war between kings might not really be decided yet, and when the dust settled, one of them would inevitably fall.

The diocese of Bethlehem was also attacked during last year's invasion of the Damned Monarch, but the small number of dragons did not cause much damage to the parish with a complete defense.

And the return of Bethlehem Bishop Landiston has calmed the panicked people's hearts.

Rumor has it that the bishop was already a king, but no one can confirm it, and devout believers prefer to believe this to be true, because it means that Bethlehem was blessed by the king.

It has to be said that the Diocese of Bethlehem allowed both foreigners and commoners to believe in the God of Light to make the dioceses of the Middle Continent hostile, but they did not do anything.

First, the Eastern Continent is relatively far away from them, and the entire Eastern Continent plus the alien races only has a population of just over a million, even if all of them are believers, it seems that for the time being, there is no threat to the major dioceses that control a total of tens of millions of people; second, with the decline of the center of the Holy See, no one has enough appeal to gather an expeditionary legion, and it is obviously impossible to confront Bethlehem with the strength of one or two dioceses.

And the third reason is the most important, naturally it is the rumor that Luo Lan is likely to be a king. At this time, the war between the two camps seems to be on the verge of breaking out, and no one is stupid enough to try for themselves whether this rumor is true.

The previous popes Sidirow and Pidoca II kept Luo Lan in the center of the Holy See and sent a large number of clergy to build a seminary, in fact, they did not have the intention of gradually weakening Luo Lan's influence and replacing it from within, but after a few years, the effect was not ideal.

This is not because of Luo Lan's rumored status as a king, after all, this is just a recent rumor.

The real reason is that Luo Lan has been using the Doomsday Guild to pamper and monitor every nobleman and clergy in Bethlehem, including Lady Belinda, Rust Priest, and even Lai, who have more or less many pairs of eyes staring at yīn shadows around them.

The main members of the Doomsday Thieves are the dark jīng spirits and the wisdom undead born in the underground land of death, although thousands of undead can only give birth to one intelligent undead, but it is not worth mentioning the land of the dead with a huge base of undead.

These dark creatures have a knotty or bloodline contract with Luo Lan, and are undoubtedly his most loyal subordinates, some of whom he deliberately manages by Ka Sabrando, both by exploiting the other party's abilities and by the way of a brilliant intelligence officer. Relying on these all-pervasive dark thieves, even if Luo Lan was far away in the center of the Holy See, he knew everything about Bei Se Lengzhong's every move, and issued some orders through them from time to time.

It can be said that although he himself is not in Beiselen, everyone can still feel that his will is everywhere, which adds a sense of awe and mystery.

And even within Beiselen, he also adopts a way of mutual checks and balances, Belinda is only responsible for managing civil affairs and commerce, and has no power over religious affairs, and similarly, the clergy have no right to reach out to this side, so for several years, Rutt and other high-ranking clergy have not been able to encroach on even a little power.

With the expansion of the diocese of Bethlehem, some of the great nobles who joined the church have obtained fiefs, moved out of the city, and built numerous castles in the fiefs.

After returning from the underworld, Irina has been living here.

"Has Irina never been back recently?" Hearing the news, Luo Lan was not surprised, but frowned.

In front of him was a newly awakened intelligent undead called "Hidden Ear", "Hidden Ear" and "Little Bone" were completely different, and he carefully followed the etiquette of a subordinate and respectfully said: "My lord, Miss Irina disappeared a week before you returned to Bethlehem, and we have not found it until now, and the same is true of the guild's stations in various parts of the continent, so I think she must have used some special method to evade our tracking. ”

Luo Lan pondered for a while, stood up, and said, "Forget it." ”

He stepped out and squinted at the warm sunshine outside, and this time back in Bethlehem, he had an extremely important guess that he wanted to verify with Irina, but now he had to run aground.

"Irina, my junior sister, are you deliberately avoiding me, or is this itself sending me some kind of message?"

Luo Lan walked all the way, pondering all the way, if this was the case, then his previous speculation was likely to be correct, which may not be a bad thing for him.

Suddenly, he turned around and noticed that on the tower not far away, there was a green grass fluttering gently on the windowsill, and his steps could not help but pause.

"My lord?" the knight beside him stepped up vigilantly with his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Luo Lan was silent for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go." "His time is running out, after the affairs of Bei Seleng are arranged, there are still important matters waiting for him to deal with, everything, let's wait until he can come back alive.

As he turned to leave, a figure in a black robe appeared from the window, her pale hands resting on the cold stone windowsill, watching his back fade away, and let out a soft sigh.

After inspecting the city avenue, Luo Lan returned to the mansion that night, summoned Belinda, Rust, Hedamic and other high-ranking officials one by one, and announced an astonishing news: the heir of Beiselen will be a little NV child he brought back from the mainland, and after Lai and King Shumi, she is now the third disciple of the Bishop.

Everyone was skeptical that this little NV kid, who didn't even know his name, could become the successor of Bei Selen, but they buried this idea in their hearts and kept silent on the surface.

Luo Lan didn't need to guess what was going on in their hearts, he had absolute control over Bethlehem. It's just that a battle between him and Rundit is inevitable, and in the past six months, Rundit has not been heard from, although he believes that his brother and his father will not give up easily, but it is impossible to grow up in this time.

Compared to Rundit, he was really concerned about another person.

His teacher, the Monarch of Death, Perotsius.

Even now, he can't fully see through the teacher who taught him at the beginning, especially when he knows the teacher's other identity, he has been carefully planning and guarding against a surprise attack that may come at any time.

He believed that Rommels had chosen to retreat underground for three hundred years, including the intention of hiding from his teacher, which also showed the strength of Perosius - Rommels did not even have the idea of joining forces with him.

And in his ** Caterina era, the only one who could stop her was Perotsius, and it was precisely because of the existence of the Dead Monarch that many of Caterina's plans could only be stillborn.

In his fight with Lundit, he did not dare to guarantee whether Burrosius would make a move.

He understood that since he had the blood of Pavaran and Rantiston in his body, and if he had come to this point, he would sooner or later collide with his teacher.

Thinking of this, he smiled, for Burrosius, why not for Rundit?

Whichever one of them wins, it will be the ultimate goal of the teacher, right?

If nothing else, his jiā battle with Lundit will be in that rift in time and space, and he doesn't know how long it will take for him to return. So before that, he had to get everything in order.

It was not his whim to identify Rorel as the heir, but because this young NV has great potential, not only is he the most likely candidate to become the king in the future, but also has a persistent belief that even if Luo Lan has not come back for more than ten years, she can gradually gain a firm foothold with her own strength.

As for Lai Luolan, it's not that he hasn't thought about it, this disciple has enough ability and means, but his ambition is also very big, if he is there, he can still suppress this disciple, once he is gone, Bei Se Leng is likely to have some unexpected changes, so Luo Lan chose a person who has no roots in North Se Leng as his successor.

But Lorel is still very fragile now, and it is impossible for the Doomsday Guild to get into her hands at present, and she can only be responsible for covert protection, but this is not enough, she also needs another person.

After everyone retreated, Luo Lan looked at the corner of the wall, tapped the handrail lightly, and smiled: "I've been waiting, Sidek." ”

A figure with long black hair came out of the shadow, and one of Stick's seemingly unfocused eyes was outside the long hair, he looked at Luo Lan and said, "You have become stronger." ”

"Powerful......

Luo Lan pondered playfully for a moment, then smiled deeply and said, "It's just a little stronger than mortals." ”

"Mortal?" said Stitch laughing.

Luo Lan stood up and walked a few steps, and said slowly: "I saw your father when I went to the Western Continent, no, to be precise, it was your father's body, perhaps, your father was really powerful when he was alive." ”

"He's true, he's powerful, but he's afraid I'll surpass him one day......" Sticker pursed his lips, a hint of hatred coming out of his expression. So he almost deprived me of all my strength, but left me with an almost infinite life, he thought that in this way I would live more painful than death, but I still survived, and with your help, my strength is gradually recovering, if he is still alive, he absolutely does not want to see this, so that his death may be a happy thing. ”

This time, Dragon Island's attack was ostensibly blocked by the Beiselen defense system, but in fact, the spirit of the thirty-seven bone dragons and twelve giant dragons was secretly devoured by Stitch, allowing him to regain some of his strength.

Sidick looked at Luo Lan with interest and said, "What kind of enemy would make you so serious?" I am very interested in this, because I find that no one in this world can surpass you in terms of the understanding of the application of the law. ”

Luo Lan said in a deep voice: "He is not my enemy, he is the enemy of 'it'. ”

The word "it" Luo Lan used the ancient pronunciation of the Abō Luo Continent, and the race from the abyss, Si Dick, naturally understood it very clearly, and his face couldn't help but change slightly, and he said dryly: "Is it the group of people who call themselves 'masters of death'?"

Luo Lan smiled and said, "That was a long time ago, just like the three ancient families of the human race, their heirs have become more and more rare. ”

Sidick actually said with some regret: "Is that so, it's a pity, I don't know what the spirit of these people will be like." ”

Luo Lan returned to the table and sat down, he said slowly, "Lorel is my new disciple, and if I am not there, she will be the successor of Bethlehem and Northern Selen. ”

Sdick smiled strangely and said, "No matter what, as a former prince of the abyss, my previous promise to use the spirit hún will not change, from the day of the agreement, I will serve you for a hundred years, but I also have a small request." ”

Luo Lan nodded and said, "Please speak." ”

"I also want to know ......" Stitch's eyes looked directly at Luo Lan, "what kind of existence is 'it', I hope you don't disappoint me." ”

Luo Lan was stunned, then laughed and said, "You will know, you will." ”
