Chapter 680: Assemble
At the headquarters of the Church of Light in Cotona City, the current Pope San Reno received Linton very warmly, of course, after he showed the Book of Seals, after all, the ten blades called Ulquiora last time were transformed into Linton's appearance, San Reno didn't want to encounter that situation again, and the Book of Seals was naturally the best way to prove Linton's identity.
Saint Reno's enthusiasm is naturally for a reason, after all, Linton saved the entire church before, that ten blades are indeed too strong, and even killed a saint, if Linton hadn't arrived in time, he, the pope, would probably have fallen on the spot. Of course, Linton was also a saint, and of course San Reno did not dare to slack off, in short, no matter what the factor, Linton's current voice in the Holy See is very important.
Of course, Melissa was soon invited, and now Melissa has officially taken over the position of high priest, and the old priest has been sent to a nursing home for the elderly because he is seriously ill. Although San Reno didn't know the purpose of Linton's visit this time, it was probably related to the Book of Seals and the Church of Cruso, and according to his guess, he probably needed the help of the church.
After the daily greetings between the two sides, they quickly entered the topic of business, and it was naturally Linton who spoke: "Your Excellency, it is a very urgent matter to come to see you this time. ”
"Is it related to the Crusu Church?" San Reno asked directly.
"Yes." Linton nodded, "I wonder if His Holiness knows about my nephew Garsein's wedding a few days ago." ”
"Oh, is Lord Linton's nephew married? I'm sorry I've been a bit busy lately and haven't noticed this, but if I had known, I would have gone to the wedding in person. Saint Reno didn't seem to have heard of this, and said, of course, he was a little strange, I don't know why Linton suddenly mentioned this matter, is it to ask for sin? Blame the Holy See for not coming? But I didn't receive an invitation or anything like that, could it be that the people below withheld it and didn't report it?
"My lord, I've heard about it." Melissa next to her said, "I'm sorry it wasn't before the wedding, so I didn't have time to attend, I only heard about it yesterday, and it seems to be ...... Wedding cancelled? ”
"The wedding is canceled?" San Reno also asked with some surprise, this aristocratic wedding is not canceled just like cancellation, of course he has also investigated Linton's background, his nephew is Garsein. What about Merlowe, the Duke of the Saint-Willan Empire, his wedding can be canceled at will? Something must have happened, so he immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"This ...... I ...... "Melissa did understand the situation, but it wasn't easy to say, especially in Linton's presence."
"That's what I meant by canceling the wedding." Linton said directly, "I don't know much about this wedding, I received some information from the Church of Cthulhu before, and I went out to investigate for more than a month, and I only heard about this wedding after I came back." It wasn't much, but when I went to the wedding, I noticed something very serious, and I felt the dark aura of the Cthulhu Believers in the bride's body. ”
"What?" Both were taken aback.
"That's why I came forward to call off the wedding, but in order to prevent the people of the Cthulhu Church from discovering the anomaly, I didn't directly explain the matter." Linton said.
"No wonder." Melissa next to her said, "Now it's going viral outside, saying that the Merlowe family doesn't know how to be polite......"
Melissa didn't finish speaking, but San Reno next to her understood it and slapped the table directly: "Bastard!" ”
"Your Excellency, this is a trivial matter." Linton immediately said, "I initially suspected that someone from the church of Cthulhu might have discovered my identity and tried to get close to me or something. In short, after messing up the wedding, I quickly went to investigate the situation, but I didn't expect to find a bigger crisis. ”
"What is it?" San Reno immediately asked.
"The family that almost married my nephew is the Narciss." Linton said.
"House Narciss." San Reno was clearly aware of the family as well, "Is that them?" ”
"I've just come from their family territory, too." Linton said, "Over there, I've noticed a striking occurrence of an obvious anomaly in the world wall over there, which means that someone is summoning a servant of Cthulhu. ”
"What?" San Reno was a little surprised, "Is it those XIE cultists?" ”
"That's for sure." Linton said, "I also discovered that the source of the dark power is the inside of the Narciss, which means that there must be people within the Narcissus who perform rituals, so I can feel the dark aura in them." ”
"I see, inside the Narcissus?"
"Your Excellency, you know, these Cthulhu people are best at infiltration, and their power has long been spread to all corners of the world, and I suspect that there are people within the Narcissus family." Linton said.
"And what do you think should be done, Lord Linton?" San Reno thought for a moment and asked.
"Your Holiness the Pope, listen to me." Linton said, "It's a lot more serious than you think, and I've been investigating the Narcissis for a day yesterday and have discovered a shocking fact. The minions of Crusu being summoned within the Narcissian family should be very powerful minions, probably ...... It's a ten-bladed level. ”
"What?" This ten-bladed level really scared San Reno, because the last ten-bladed Ulquiorra almost destroyed the entire holy city, and now another ten-bladed is about to appear, it is indeed a very serious matter, no wonder Linton will come to him in a hurry.
"Are you sure, sir?" Melissa next to her also said anxiously.
"I can probably be sure, even if it's not a ten-blade level, it's still a mid-level high, and the aura of darkness is very powerful." Linton said.
"That'...... What if he is really summoned......" San Reno panicked a little.
"Yes, and I think the summoning ritual is almost successful." "So we have to act now." ”
"Stop them?" Melissa asked.
"Of course." San Reno, who was next to him, immediately said, "They must be stopped." ”
"That's what Lord Linton mean, too?" Melissa asked.
"Do you think I'm here to find a helper and defeat Ten Blades after the other party summons them?" Linton said, "No, I think if I can stop them this time, I should stop them first." Judging from the current situation, the world where Cthulhu is located and the world wall of the world we are in are approaching year by year, and it is simply understood that the seal is loosening, and the arrival of Cthulhu can be said to be difficult to stop, and one day it and his minions will also descend to this world. We can't stop it, but we can delay it. ”
Linton paused and continued: "What we have to do is to continue to strengthen ourselves during this time, you and I are both holders of the Book of Seals, but it is still a little troublesome to face Cthulhu now, those ten blades under his command are indeed very strong, last time I was able to barely win with the help of the Omar Sword Master, we still need time." ”
After speaking, Linton also looked at St. Reno's side: "Lord Pope, what we have to do at the moment is to collect as many cards as possible, and also to find the holders of other sealed books, only by gathering these powers, we can face the upcoming world invasion, we need time, so this time we must stop the arrival of this ten blades." ”
"I see." Saint Reno here, nodded, "Since the matter is so urgent, then we have to start acting immediately, go now." ”
"Your Excellency, the situation is serious, and the servants of Cthulhu could come at any time. Prepare for a rainy day, we also have to prepare for the worst, I also came this time to hope that His Royal Highness the Pope will help, I am not completely sure of the ten blades alone. Linton said.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." San Reno nodded.
San Reno, who was here, immediately got up and began to arrange. Of course, he didn't trust Linton completely unconditionally, so he investigated him a little. Soon he found out about Linton's nephew's wedding, and it was indeed the same as Linton said, that is, Linton's sudden appearance interrupted the wedding.
San Reno didn't expect Linton to retaliate, after all, in his opinion, if Linton didn't suddenly appear, the wedding would have been done, and it wasn't the Nassis family on the other side who refused to marry. And he really can't think of any other reason for Linton to refuse the marriage of the Narcissian family, no matter how you look at it, he really thinks it's a good thing for the Merlowe family, so it seems that the credibility of Linton's words is really very high, it should be that he said that he probed the dark breath.
As for what dark aura was, San Reno really didn't know, they hadn't felt anything. According to his understanding, is it the power of the bearer of the Book of Seals? But the problem is that Melissa doesn't seem to feel it, or she's a novice or something, so she doesn't know this skill? Anyway, the matter is more urgent now, so it's too late to ask, and after solving this matter, I have to ask Linton about it.
In short, San Reno believed Linton's words and quickly gathered a small force. Including 100 members of the Supreme Order of the Church, 200 members of the First Knights, and 200 members of the Knights of the Hand of the Goddess, all of them are high-ranking knights. There are also two Holy Ranks. One of them is the Omar Juggernaut who has worked with Linton and before, and the other is the Juggernaut named Sumont who has just contacted and has not yet arrived, and he will go directly there to join the team.
Because of the urgency of the matter, San Reno also waved his hand, and more than 500 people all set off on the teleportation array, of course, the church has the financial resources to afford so many people to use the teleportation array, after all, the magic power consumed and the magic crystals consumed are astronomical for ordinary people.
It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the fiefdom of the Narciss, the city of Selock.
