Holy City!

It is not the most beautiful city in the world of Entagre, standing in the depths of the Yongge Forest, and the elven city of Elf, built on the canopy of the World Tree Teddashir, is the first beautiful scenery on the continent!

It is also not the most powerful city in the world of Ntagre, towering in the center of the Dia Plain, the city of Diyar, which has never been set foot by foreign tribes since its establishment, is the first fortress on the continent!

It's not even the most prosperous city in the world of Entagre, built on the coast of Manstos, managed by goblins, and with more than 4 million permanent residents, the Sunny Port is the number one commercial center on the mainland!

But it is the only city in the world that has never gone out since its founding! Whether it is in the battle of the factions or in the invasion of the bottomless abyss, the holy light from the Holy City has never disappeared, it stands tenaciously in the south of the continent, guarding the fire and hope of mankind!

The blessings of the Holy Mountain of Light nourish the city, and the Holy Light surrounds the summit of this Holy Mountain, guiding the believers of the Light, even in the dark ages after the fall of the God of Dawn, the Holy Light has never abandoned the city!

And at this moment, Raphael was bathed in this pure light.

When the violently flickering holy light regained its calm, suspended in mid-air, Raphael, who had immersed his entire body in the envelopment of the holy light, slowly fell, and returned to the ground paved with pure white holy stones.

The two High Priests of the Holy See of Light, who were waiting beside them, quickly stepped forward and put on a cloak woven from the fluff of the Light Deer for the Holy Maiden of Light.

Cardinal Meladel felt an extremely strong power of holy light from Raphael's body, and the old man's face was full of smiles: "Raphael, my dear child! You've finally made it! ”

Nodding to his titular teacher, Raphael smiled and replied, "Yes, teacher!" I've made it to the sixth level! ”

Sixth Order! This is enough news to shock all players!

Yu Bin fought for his life in the Wanyuan Plain, just to step into the fifth order, and Raphael only needed to be immersed in this holy light, and he easily became a sixth order existence!

Now Raphael not only has a lord-level role template, but what is even more surprising is that under the infiltration of this huge power of holy light, her entire body has been assimilated by the holy light, and now she has even begun to transform into the body of holy light.

Meradel nodded in satisfaction and led Raphael out of the pool of light and towards the Audience Hall.

"I have some good news for you here!" Meladel said as she walked, "Last night there was news from the Arnas Empire that your men had successfully recaptured Aston City, the capital of Aston Province, and wiped out all the rebels in the city, the rebel leader Krut Pemilian was killed in battle, and Kens Burriman was seriously wounded and captured. Prince André has sent a request to the Holy See to grant you the status of Count of the Empire of Arnas. ”

This was not unexpected, after all, in addition to the strength of the Angel's Covenant itself, she also left several killer features for the bell. In this case, it is only a matter of time before Aston City is recovered.

Nevertheless, for Prince Andrei, this victory was also very important. This is not only the first provincial capital he has recovered since returning to China, but also a slap in the face for those nobles who ride on the wall and watch the wind! It is possible to predict how the situation of the entire Arnas Empire will change when the news of this victory reaches the ears of those nobles.

At the same time, recovering a province without relying on the help of several elite legions of the Arnas Empire, and even being able to completely recover the entire province of Aston soon after, is also a crucial bargaining chip for Prince Andrei, which means that his demand for the faction of the great nobles led by Marshal Boval has decreased to a certain extent, and the great nobles are no longer the necessary strength of Prince Andrei.

Of course, a few elite legions are still very important for the recovery of the Arnas Empire, but they are only important.

"This is a victory for the light! Evil may be strong for a while, but it can never overcome good! ”

In response to Raphael's answer, Meladel nodded in agreement: "His Majesty the Pope agreed to Prince Andrei's request, but because of your special status, and the situation in the Arnas Empire has not completely calmed down, it is not possible to determine where your territory is for the time being!" ”

Each nobleman is entitled to a territory, which can be acquired by the nobleman himself, for example by colonizing wild realms outside the realm of the kingdom, or granted directly by the royal family. And with Raphael's merits and status, there is no doubt that Prince Andrei will grant her a part of the territory belonging to the royal family directly. But the problem is that almost half of the territory of the Arnas Empire is still occupied by rebels, so Raphael can only wait for the end of the counterinsurgency if he wants to gain new territory.

This can be regarded as a little caution on the part of Prince Andrei, who did this because he wanted nothing more than to express to Raphael, and the Holy See of Light behind Raphael, that if he wanted this territory, then continue to assist him in recovering the empire and supporting him to inherit the throne.

Politics is always so dirty!

Soon, the two of them walked into the Audience Hall, only to see that the other three cardinals, including the Pope, were also waiting in the Audience Hall, and the highest levels of the entire Bright Church were gathered here.

"Our lucky one is back!" Pope Germephis XI said happily that he could be said to be very satisfied with Raphael, "How does it feel?" For nearly a thousand years, you have been the one who has been in the pool of light for the longest time, and the Holy Light must have reborn you. ”

"It feels very good, Your Majesty! I even feel like I have an endless amount of power in my body! Raphael said as he raised his right hand, and without seeing her chanting the incantation, a rich, milky white light poured out of her palm, and then turned into a gel-like milky white liquid, rolling back and forth in midair.

Everyone present, including the Pope, was taken aback, and they who were well-informed could not see that Raphael's performance meant that she no longer needed to mobilize the power of the Holy Light in her body through the assistance of chanting spells. Her body is the manifestation of the power of the Light, just as a person can breathe automatically without having to control it, and for Raphael now, using the power of the Light is also the same as breathing, turning around freely.

"Great! In this way, our success rate has increased quite a bit! Cardinal Sedna Kalifa said excitedly.

The Pope nodded: "Raphael, summoning you back at this time, we thought that the situation in the Armas Empire would continue to deteriorate." Now it seems that even without you, Prince Andrei would be enough to make those nobles bow down! This is very good, so that the Holy See can also take some of the power that was originally intended to support Prince Andrei and use it in more important places. ”

It has been almost a week since Raphael was urgently called back to the Holy City, and during this time, she has been bathing in the Pool of Light, and it is only now that she understands that this is a new task for the Holy See to give her, so she does not hesitate to use the Pool of Light to quickly increase her strength.

"Command, please! For the sake of the will of light, I am willing to give my life! ”

"Gamel, tell our cutie!" The Pope motioned for another cardinal, Gamel Franklin, to explain it to Raphael.

Gamel Franklin, who was in charge of the papal finances, stepped forward and said, "Bishop Raphael, do you remember the destroyed city in the sky? ”

"Of course! I personally gave the order to self-destruct to the control center of Sky City! Raphael nodded and said, Is it now that the Holy See is ready to hold this matter accountable? But the decision to destroy Sky City was originally made by the Pope and these cardinals!

Gamel went on to explain, "After the city in the sky self-destructed, most of it was swallowed by the void because it lost its protection, but there was still a small part that split into thousands of large and small fragments and fell to the main plane. Some of it has been acquired by some gods, and the Holy See is negotiating with them, hoping to somehow exchange it for the pieces of the Sky City in their hands. Others, on the other hand, are scattered throughout the continent. ”

In fact, the situation is far more serious than Gamel said, the self-destruction of the Sky City not only eliminated countless demons from the bottomless abyss, but also caused irreparable damage to the entire Sky City, and more importantly, lost the control core, the Sky City could no longer obtain the protection of the Void Barrier, so it was quickly torn apart under the devouring of the Void Power.

More than 70% of the area was assimilated by the Void and turned into Void fragments, posing a great threat to the Void Barrier of the main plane, and the rest relied on the remaining protective layer to unconsciously float in the Void, some of which were discovered by various gods and taken into their pockets, while some were lucky enough to pass through the Void Barrier of the main plane and fell to all corners of the continent.

Not only did these fallen fragments carry the power of the Void and cause great damage to the area near the fall point, but more dangerously, some of the fragments still contain some demons from the bottomless abyss, and these terrible creatures will break through the protective layer of the fragments at any time and wreak havoc everywhere in the main plane.

To this end, the Holy See of Light and Dalaran sent a large number of men to recover these fragments scattered throughout the continent, but so far, the results have not been satisfactory.

"Not long ago, a team of paladins found a fragment in the Nogard area, the largest piece to date, and according to the descriptions of those paladins, we have reason to believe that the fragment is the remnant of the Sky City Control Center Tower." Gamel said with some excitement, "It's a pity that the paladins who were discovered in advance couldn't enter the central tower at all, and in addition, there are a large number of demons in the fragments, most of which are abyssal web spiders from the abyss of the magic web. ”

Although in the bottomless abyss, the abyssal demon web spider is not a powerful existence, but in the main plane, this kind of monster with an abyssal breath and strength between the fifth and sixth orders is still an extremely deadly creature, they are good at cluster activities, which is their means of protecting themselves in the bottomless abyss, but in the main plane, it has become a headache for the Holy See of Light.

Imagine that hundreds or thousands of sixth-order abyssal demon web spiders gathered together, how many soldiers would it take to destroy them, and how many casualties would it take? What's more, if there are too many people, it will attract the attention of other races, and there may be enemies from the chaotic faction to snatch the shard.

If it's an ordinary fragment, it's fine, but this is a fragment of the central control tower, and the Holy See of Light believes that this fragment is very likely to retain some information about Sky City, and even related technology.

"Bishop Raphael, as the situation on the continent becomes increasingly tense, we can all sense that a new faction war is about to break out. At such times, the question of how to seize the fragment becomes crucial. Gamel said.

Sedna Kalifa added: "The Holy See does not want to detonate a camp war for this reason, the entire Terran race is not ready, and most of the kingdom's military power is involved in various places, not to mention that the Arnas Empire is still in a civil war. ”

"So, Bishop Raphael! We hope that you will be able to go to the Nogad region and recover the fragment for the Holy See. ”

Raphael finally knew what he was calling her back for. Indeed, she is better suited to do this than anyone else.

First of all, she had been given control of the Sky City, and if the central control tower within the shard still had some operational capabilities, then she would undoubtedly be the most likely candidate to gain control.

Secondly, now everyone understands that she is helping Prince Andrei of the Arnas Empire to regain territory and destroy the rebels, so no one will believe that she is in Nogard, and the bishops and cardinals of the Holy See will easily not be able to dispatch, otherwise it will attract the attention of the chaotic camp.

Finally, there is Raphael's strength and prestige. Rather than sending a lowly and unknown emissary, Raphael, who has the name of a saint, can gain the approval of those paladins, so as to unite the power of the Holy See of Light in the Nogaard region and compete with possible enemies for the possession of this fragment.

After pondering for a while, Raphael nodded at Cardinal Gamel: "I understand, Your Excellency Gamel! I'll leave as soon as possible. ”

"In order to avoid attracting the attention of the chaotic faction, the Holy See is unable to send men to assist you in retrieving this fragment. Therefore, you have to rely on your own strength to accomplish this task. "But apart from not being able to provide you with more help, the Holy See can meet your requirements in other areas." ”

"Your Majesty, my personal guard is up to the task. But in order to increase the chances of success, it is hoped that the Holy See can provide some help with weapons and equipment. ”

"Yes! Meradele, I'll leave this matter to you, get Bishop Raphael ready to go as soon as possible! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
