Chapter 21: The Conspiracy of the Holy See of Light

Ryan City, once the county seat of the southeastern province of the Puang Empire, even before the war twelve years ago, the location of the main temple of the Holy See of Light was already the most important city in the entire Puang Empire and even the entire Magnolia Continent.

In terms of wealth, Lane City is second only to Magnolia City, the capital of the Magnolia Empire, and is almost the same as Nidal, the imperial capital of the central province. As for the Dark Holy See in the Northlands, its original location was not as prosperous as the Light Holy See in the South, and its Dark City was more than a step inferior.

The largest building in the city of Lane is the Temple of Light, which is more than 100 meters high, made of white stone bricks, with windows inlaid with the finest crystal glass and a dome decorated with gold. However, these worldly decorations are nothing compared to the oversized magic that guards this temple, the 'Glory of the Lord of Light'. The Lord of Light's Glory Magic Array is a powerful magic array that is said to be indestructible under the god level, and even a god-level powerhouse will have to work hard to break it.

And at that time, the strength of the Holy See of Light, even if it was the top five in the empire on the surface, coupled with the deterrence of the magic array, there was no danger of being broken, and it was naturally able to maintain and protect this prosperity.

After the Light and Darkness Sect attacked the former Puang Empire at the same time, the forces on the side of the Empire were defeated one after another, and the Dark See, which lost Hamlin, was even weaker. Especially in the years when the Light Pope Ernst overwhelmed Koland and was recognized as the strongest person in the Continent's Holy Domain, the strength of the Light Holy See was extremely inflated.

In addition to the ten Sacred Domain powerhouses who have been cultivated by themselves, there are also nearly twenty Sacred Domain powerhouses who have taken refuge in the Holy City, and there are no less than ten people who are resident in the Holy City of Ryan. Ryan City, which has become the 'Holy City' of the Holy See of Light, is even more prosperous, and there are many merchants and visitors, which are comparable to the imperial capital of the Magnolia Empire.

However, the previous Pope Ernst was defeated and killed in the battle with Wright, and many of the Sacred Domain powerhouses who took refuge left one after another, and even some of the Sacred Domain powerhouses within the Bright Sect were also fluctuating, and the power of the Bright Sect was dealt an extremely heavy blow.

Even among the Light believers who are considered to be extremely devout, many of them have left Lane City.

Although the battle at the Sanctuary level has not directly affected the lives of ordinary civilians, and the market of Ryan City is still relatively prosperous, the new Pope of Light, Desley, as the ruler, can easily find that the current Ryan City has begun to fall. This year, the Bright Holy See's tax revenue in the city of Ryan City alone was only 30 million gold coins, which was about one-third less than at its peak.

"Bang!" A powerful force slammed open the gates of a palace on the highest floor of the temple.

"Second brother!" A strong man with a strong body nearly three meters tall walked into the palace with an angry face on his face.

"Lie, what's wrong." Sitting on the upper seat of the palace was De Sley, who had succeeded to the Pope three years earlier, if the strongest of the Holy See of Light. He asked in a gentle tone, but with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Second brother, that bastard Davide ran away while carrying out the order, and I just got the news that he took refuge in the Puang Empire."

Hearing the news brought by 'Lie', De Sili could only smile bitterly, this was not the first incident in which members of the Holy See of Light fled. Davide is only a special deacon, and even the defection of the cardinal archbishop is not uncommon.

But what could he do, now the territory of the Bright Holy See was only about one-third of the area around Ryan City, which was equivalent to about one-third of the southeastern provinces, and almost all the enemies in the world. Those low-level believers may always support the Holy See of Light because of their piety, but some of the middle and upper echelons, hehe, even he himself does not believe much in the Lord of Light, and the reason for the burden of succeeding the Pope is more because of the eldest brother Ernst.

Looking at the still angry leader of the fanatics standing in front of him, Densley, could only comfort him in harmony.

"Second brother, we can't go on like this, the middle-level powerhouses continue to defect, the low-level civilians are also rapidly draining, and our current territory is much smaller than before, I'm afraid our Bright Holy See won't last long." Lie analyzed worriedly, and the difficult situation made his brain have to turn.

De Thilai was silent, he certainly knew the current situation better than Lie, but he didn't have any solution to it.

"In fact, the biggest reason why we are in such a difficult situation now is that person!" Lie said through gritted teeth.

De Sley nodded: "Indeed, if it weren't for that person, the eldest brother would not have fallen, and the strength of our Bright Holy See is enough to compete with the Puang Empire." If it weren't for the influence exerted by his teacher, the Puang Empire would not have been so united, occupying most of our territory. But even if that Dharma God had already left the Magnolia Continent, we wouldn't be able to kill him. Don't forget, the eldest brother was also killed by him in a frontal battle. ”

"But second brother, you have inherited the throne of the pope, and in terms of strength, it should not be much worse than the previous eldest brother." Lie You asked.

"That's true." If someone else asked this, it would naturally be very rude and even regarded as hostile, but the question was about his own brotherly 'Lie', and Desley also answered, but there was already a slight dissatisfaction in his tone.

Hearing his brother's answer, Lie breathed a sigh of relief: "Second brother, I recently got a treasure that may help us deal with that person." ”

De Sli was stunned, treasure, what treasure can help kill a super strong person equivalent to the limit of the Sanctuary.

'Lie' carefully took out a box from his arms, and as soon as the box was opened, Desley felt a strange energy fluctuation disperse, but this energy fluctuation had no effect on him.

However, Lie, who was holding the box, turned pale and stumbled under his feet, and Desley's magic power quickly turned into silk threads and lifted Lie up.

Lie took a few deep breaths, got rid of the strong sense of weakness, and held the box with a smile, "Second brother, what is the function of this treasure?"

"Imprison the fighting spirit!" De Sili's eyes lit up, although this treasure was useless to him, but he could sense the state of 'Fierce', which was clearly a feeling of suppressed vindictiveness.

"That's right." Lie closed the box, and in an instant, the fighting spirit recovered, "This treasure can exude special energy, this special energy can suppress the power of the fighting energy, and my fighting energy can only exert one percent of the power at most under suppression." ”

Hearing Lie's introduction, De Sley's face showed an excited look, "Lie, where did you get this treasure from, with this treasure, and then plan in detail, it is entirely possible for us to kill Wright." ”

Lie hesitated for a moment, and said, "It was sent by someone from the Dark Sect. One of my subordinates committed suicide after telling me that he was an undercover agent of the Dark See, and then telling me that the Dark See could give us this treasure. ”

"The Dark Curia?" De Thanlai nodded, "It seems that the Dark Church is also very dissatisfied with that person, so it wants to borrow our hand against him." Did that dark papal man under you say anything else? ”

"He said he had put all the information about the man in his quarters, and I had sent some of my most trusted men to check it out, and then I would bring this treasure over."

De Sley nodded: "Indeed, according to some information we have received recently, the Dark Holy See does have this motive, but the Dark Holy See did not have a good intention to provide us with this treasure, but... We had no choice but to find a way to kill that man. Only when he dies can we have a chance, and as for the revenge of the Dragonblood Warrior Family, I will also resist! ”

A glint of wisdom flashed in Desley's eyes: "First of all, that person is not only a warrior, but also a Sanctuary Magus, but his usual fighting style is a warrior type, and he doesn't seem to be able to soul attack. After suppressing his fighting spirit, his strength is estimated to be at the level of the limit of the Holy Domain, but after inheriting the position of the Pope and controlling the artifact, I am also somewhat sure of killing him. Second, his wife is a dragon-blooded warrior, although the physical fitness of the dragon-blooded warrior is not as good as the dragon-blooded warrior and the undead warrior, but he can also have the strength of the Sanctuary warrior threshold by relying on his body alone, if he is alone, he will have a certain certainty of killing him, and if his wife is together, it will be troublesome. ”

"In addition, we also have to try to avoid the pressure we will face after killing him, Lie, you go and arrange for someone to collect evidence of the cooperation between the Dark Holy See and us, and the final pressure cannot be borne by us alone."

"Also," said De Sri, "we have chosen the two most faithful archbishops in the Holy See, and our current 'divine grace' is enough to advance the two archbishops to the Sanctuary." Let the bishop in charge of intelligence come over, and I'll arrange the mission myself. Don't relax, although we can only rely on the magician to kill that person, when he is killed by us, he may face the revenge of the four ultimate warrior families later. ”

"Yes!" Lie replied loudly.
