William held the Philosopher's Stone in his hand with a big smile on his face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Huh? It's been a long time since I've seen you smile so heartily. A man covered in heavy black armor stepped forward, his voice clear and clean, "What good news is this?" ”

The armor on the man's body had many sword cuts on it, and even some other traces could be faintly seen: corrosion, fire, frost, and many other traces of magical energy. However, if you look closely, you can see that these "traces of glory" on this set of armor are constantly being repaired, and the speed is not slow.

An armor with self-healing ability, even if its defensive performance is negligible, is usually not lower than the Epic level, and if it is strong enough in terms of defensive performance, then its standard must not be lower than that of the Mythical level.

And this armor, both in terms of physical defense and magical defense, is powerful enough.

This is the famous armor of the night.

Both the Nightfall Armor and the Twilight Shield allow the wielder to become almost invisible in the darkness of the night. However, as two of the five artifacts owned by Twilight, it is naturally impossible for such similar functions to exist, in fact, even if these two artifacts have abilities similar to invisibility, they also have different effects.

The invisibility of the Nightfall Armor allows the wielder to move in a dark environment without making any sound; The Twilight Shield, on the other hand, allows the wielder to move in the dark of night, without any traces of air flow in any area covered by the shield's area.

In addition, another effect of the Nightfall Armor is its auto-healing ability, which is doubled in the darkness of the night. As for the Twilight Shield, its other ability is force field deflection, which deflects all physical ranged strikes, while magical ranged strikes are immune to certain damage and immune to all shockwave effects.

Elsie removes the helmet, which is not the Luminous Eye, one of the five artifacts of the Twilight Goddess, but a replica, and its quality barely reaches the level of legendary. Aside from its relatively strong defenses, the helmet doesn't actually have much of a magical effect, but as a symbolic sense, it's sufficient.

Since Dwight's Scarlet Knights were transferred to the Trade Capital, William has taken the Crimson Knights as the core and combined the special environment of the Trade Capital to create a special mobile force composed of werewolves, centaurs, foxes and humans from some nomadic tribes - "Wings of Freedom", which is also the first truly multi-racial mixed army in the history of the Miracle Continent.

In terms of combat effectiveness, although it is still only a quasi-fourth-level level, William is confident that this legion will truly be trained into a fifth-level or even sixth-level legion.

Of course, that requires at least three years of training.

And Elsie, who had nothing to do, also led his Knights of the Dark Moon Spear to fight with William - because of Elsie's refusal to obey orders, the Twilight Church, which is now the dominant church in the Northern Continent, had to stop its journey south. However, in order to avoid Elsie's punishment, Neil also allowed the Twilight Church to set up a cathedral and conduct sermons in the trade capital on behalf of Sean, but the area on this side of the Savage Lands is due to the agreement between Sean and Ace Winter, this side belongs to the belief of the goddess of ice and winter, so the faith of the goddess of Twilight is not allowed to enter.

All in all, Elsie has been fighting with William in the territory of the Millennium Covenant Empire for nearly two years.

As far as the casualties are concerned, although they are not serious, they are basically close to the bottom line.

Because many parties are constantly wrestling for the sake of interests, and they have not put too much thought into the plan to exterminate the undead disaster, coupled with the collapse of the Peace Council now, almost all countries and churches on the continent have been involved in the wave of war, and in the last two years, the radiation scope of the undead disaster has also expanded from the southern continent to the western continent, and basically nearly one-third of the southern continent and two-fifths of the western continent are within the threat range of the undead plague.

Even the Emilian Empire, which had always maintained a wait-and-see attitude, finally had to send troops to contain the spread of the undead scourge in the Western Continent.

From this, it can be seen from this to what extent the Millennium Covenant Empire, which is the main battlefield of the Undead Calamity, has been in - one-third of the entire Millennium Covenant Empire has fallen, and the undead troops from the corpse plane have increased to tens of millions, although two-thirds of them are just ordinary skeleton soldiers and other legions equivalent to the first and second level, but in terms of scale, it is still very terrifying.

Elsie's "Traces of Glory" were left behind after fighting high-level undead creatures.

"The Lord of the Void is back." The smile on William's face could not be concealed at all.

"Sean is back?" Elsie was stunned for a moment, and then immediately let out a whisper of surprise, "Aha, I knew that guy didn't die so easily!" ”

Unlike this slightly excited whisper, a very untimely cold snort suddenly sounded.

The cold voice revealed a sense of malice.

It wasn't malice towards Elsie, it was clearly a malice emanating from "Sean".

Elsie turned her head indifferently and stared coldly at the person who exuded malice.

A middle-aged man in a black evening gown, with his hair combed straight, and despite some bruises on his face, he still didn't look embarrassed. He just stood here, and his whole body exuded a powerful momentum, and even Elsie, who was wearing the armor of the night, felt some palpitations in the face of this strong momentum.

This is the disparity created by the power hierarchy.

Elsie is not a genius, and it can even be said that his potential is actually of the more average type. However, because you become a clergyman, as long as you have a pious and firm faith, then your strength can also be continuously improved. However, this way of promotion naturally has certain limitations, after all, Elsie is not the bloodline heir of Ace Winter like Shephaneo, nor does he directly steal the power of the God of War like Emily, so after Elsie stepped into the legendary realm, his strength improvement speed became very slow.

Now he is just a thirteenth-order legendary powerhouse.

And at this moment, the middle-aged man standing opposite Elsie, although many people don't know his specific identity, but it just so happens that Elsie and William are exceptions.

The Seventh Demon God, the Confessor. Edward.

Eighteenth order super strong level.

The rank gap of five classes is enough to crush everything, not to mention the rank gap between Elsie and Edward, or the concept of strength between the legendary strong and the super strong, which completely belongs to two definitions.

It's just that even in the face of this seventh demon god, Elsie is not afraid.

"Okay, okay, now it's all in the same boat, so don't be like children." Looking at the-for-tat confrontation between Elsie and Edward, standing next to Edward, the man wearing a set of dark red heavy armor couldn't help but let out a helpless voice, "This kind of argument is meaningless for our actions, now that the power of the undead army is getting stronger day by day, the return of the emperor of the Void Empire will only be good for us, and there will be no harm." ”

"Shut up! Diane! Edward yelled angrily at his companion.

Dressed in angel costume. Diane, in Uriel's heavy armor, only shrugged his shoulders, but he still spoke, "Seriously, let go of your childish and ridiculous thoughts. The return of that emperor is only good for us, not bad, and now there are several super strong people born in the army of the undead, not to mention the three leaders who control the entire army of the undead, without those few plane powerhouses under Sean, we can't withstand it at all. ”

"I say! Shut up! Edward exclaimed, "Who has kept me holding me down, not allowing me to step into the ranks of the Nineteenth Order?" ”

"Okay, okay." Diane raised his hand and made a gesture of surrender, "But if you step into the Nineteenth Order and completely demonize, then even if I don't make a move, someone else will take action against you...... So for the sake of your personal safety for the time being, it's good that you still stay in this state of strength. ”

"Then you're going to say that we can't beat those three undead leaders!" Edward yelled dissatisfied.

"Because it's true." Diane's face looked very serious, "Didn't you get ...... that you called that last time?"

"Kokire." William reminded him very "kindly" on the side.

"Yes, yes...... Didn't you get beaten up last time by that imp named Kokire? Diane said, "He seems to be at the level of a nineteenth-order plane powerhouse, and now the lich named Ryker and the pair of deformed skeleton brothers, Rucas, both belong to this level, don't you go to them to be beaten." ”

"So! In order to! Say! Edward held back the anger in his heart and said word by word, "As long as I am demonized, ......"

"Nope." Diane shook her head, "If you are demonized, many people will find you trouble." When the time comes, you're going to be expelled from this world, and then the problem will become even more troublesome, so you'd better suppress it at this stage and deal with those undead super powerhouses with me. As for the three powerhouse-level monsters, let's leave it to Kokilei and them to deal with it. ”

"Ahh Edward scratched his hair frantically, and looked like he didn't want to talk to Diane at all, and turned away in a huff.

And Diane, who claimed to be the temporary guardian of Edward, the demon god, issued a "Where are you going?" "Don't run around!" shouted as he chased after Edward. Faintly, Edward could still be heard roaring, "Don't follow me!" "I want to be demonized!" "I'm going to ruin the world!" But these voices were quickly suppressed by Diane's words, and the two of them quarreled and drifted apart.

Elsie, who had watched a farce perfectly, let out a hearty laugh: "I can see such a happy scene every few days, it's just worth the trip." ”

"I think so." William nodded sympathetically, "But I'm really curious about how those two get along." …… Edward should be a super powerhouse of the eighteenth order now, and Diane should only be of the seventeenth order, right? It stands to reason that if Edward wants to make a move, Diane shouldn't be an opponent, right? ”

"Diane's actual strength is a bit stronger than mine, probably ...... has already reached the peak of the fifteenth-order legend, if he awakens Uriel, he should be more than the seventeenth order now, and it should probably be the same level as Edward. Elsie thought for a moment, and then said in a more conservative and cautious tone, "But once Edward is demonized, he should be able to quickly reach the twentieth order, or even surpass the twentieth order." But I believe there must be something in this that we don't know, Diane has emphasized many times, once Edward is deified, then he will be ostracized by the plane and thus completely banished. ”

"I don't really understand the strength realm of you powerhouses, after all, I don't have that kind of talent." William shook his head and laughed, but there was not much regret in his words.

"In terms of personal combat power, you are not as good as me." Elsie laughed, "But if it's tactically good, ten of me is not as good as one of you." …… Everyone has the value of each person, and it cannot be generalized. ”

"That's why you're stopping the Twilight Church from going south?" William asked with a smile.

"Yes." Elsie didn't deny it, "Although many people don't want to admit it now, in fact, the Southern Continent is now Sean's territory. If he had been gone, it might have caused the greed and malice of other well-wishers, but now with his return, whether others want to admit it or not, he is the rightful king of the south. …… Historically, only the Chainas Empire in the Eastern Continent and the Emilia Empire in the Western Continent were able to achieve this level of proficiency. The Millennial Covenant Empire could become the uncrowned king of the continental side if it had not been limited by internal strife and conflict. ”

William was noncommittal and did not make any comments on it.

But he knew that Elsie's way of seeing things was unique. If the Twilight Church insists on continuing to go south, then it is very likely that there will be a violent and sharp conflict with the belief of the Goddess of Ice and Winter, and then the Void Empire, which is a companion ally to the Ice and Winter Church, will have to send troops to recruit the Twilight Church, so that it will be in a hostile position with Elsie.

William believed that even Sean would never want to see this.

Therefore, after negotiating with Shephaneo and Elsie's concession, the three parties quickly reached a consensus: the Savage Lands is the private worship area of Goddess Eswintertle, and the Twilight Church is not allowed to set foot in it; The Trade Capital is the base camp of the Twilight Church in the south, and the Church of Ice and Winter will not set foot in it. As for the Southern Continent, the Twilight Church has the right to spread the faith, but it does not have the right to preach and propagate, after all, this is the private faith property of the Void Empire.

In other words, the Twilight Church can establish small churches in the Southern Continent, but they can only promote it in their own churches, and whether they can attract believers depends on their own ability. But if they want to preach and spread the faith in areas other than churches, then the Void Empire has the right to expel them.

"What are you going to do next?" Elsie asked.

"It just so happens that I have recently chosen a battle target, and I can use this glorious victory as my gift to welcome Sean's return." William smiled, but his words were filled with a strong confidence, "But before that, we still need the cooperation of Edward and Diane. …… I would now like Edward to stop his hostility and vexatious behavior towards Sean for the time being. ”

"I think it's better to go to them in about another three or four hours, or just wait until after dinner to go to their council." Elsie suggested with a wicked smile.

William and Elsie, who have been in contact with them for nearly a year, have also found some relevant experience in the way Edward and Diane get along: that is, when Edward is annoyed by Diane and goes to discuss things with him, questions can often be answered quickly and satisfactorily.
