Five minutes later.

Holding Aven, whose head was softly hammered by Olivia, stood up and straightened his hairstyle before he had a chance to activate his ring to see what kind of witchcraft was solidified on it.

The biggest advantage of organic gemstones is that they are inexpensive, and they do not overcome the problem that the spirituality in the gemstones will be worn out with the use of witchcraft.

So as a milestone memento in their joint research project, Olivia didn't give the two rings any too much witchcraft abilities. Instead, it gives full play to the properties of the sapphire itself, and only two photographic techniques are solidified in it, and the dynamic image of the other is recorded separately.

Sta——

In the sparkling stardust, there is a light blue light and shadow.

Olivia in the Evan ring, with an illusory gorgeous bow slowly opening on her head, and a beautiful girl armed with a full set of gems made a gesture of shooting, and a shining "jewel star" on her fingertips was burning.

It was the starting action that was about to launch [Gem Witchcraft: Shattered Star], and the glowing girl's clothes were fluttering, beautiful and trenched!

At the same time.

The ring on Olivia's hand is also activated.

The handsome young man wore a general's uniform with a command knife hanging from his waist, and the captain behind him was hunting with the wind, which was still very normal at this time. But the back of the painting changed, holding out a heart-shaped wallet with both hands, and the sunlight in it... No, it was the jewels that generously sprinkled on the glowing maiden.

The posture at this moment is handsome!

"Ahem..."

Olivia coughed lightly twice at the right time.

Evan immediately understood.

The strong desire to survive overwhelmed everything in an instant, and with Xiaoxiao, all the proceeds from the sale of the "Thunderstorm Staff" were obediently delivered to Olivia's small hands.

"Oh hehe..."

Amid the girl's triumphant laughter, the poor man, who had been robbed of his private money, rolled into the workshop to continue to earn money to support his family.

The alchemy workshop has a bedroom, a bathroom, a living room, a study, a small reference room, and temperature-controlled facilities, plus the living materials that Evan and Olivia have prepared in advance in the storage space, and even in this barren place in the ice and snow, the quality of life has not deteriorated much.

And with a highly automated biomodulation laboratory, Evan doesn't need to keep an eye on it all the time, and still has time to study one of the core knowledge from the fourth volume of "Rite of Flesh" [Witchcraft: Living the Dead].

With exhaustive research materials from the Grand Wizard "Iron Man", Evan's digestion of this new knowledge is progressing quickly.

Although it is not possible to create an army of animated puppets like Toy Soldiers due to the current wizard level, many of the same system of witchcraft as a precursor have been mastered.

For example, the [Witchcraft Demonization Weapon] that Ai Wen often used before being promoted to "Brand Swordsman" has an advanced version of [Powerful Demonic Weapon].

The effect is comparable to the [Extraordinary Weapon Blessing] in the hands of the totem god "Big Shark" Ovig, and it is more targeted, and it can be cured with extraordinary materials to achieve permanent enchantment.

As a matter of fact.

Although the technology used in those "Thunderstorm Staffs" was ready-made, in the process of mass production, this [Powerful Demon Weapon] greatly improved the efficiency and cost savings for Aven.

Eighty percent of the 998 silver coins were net profits.

Unlike the original idea of using electrolytic aluminum to make another fortune, in fact, aluminum, the third most important element in the earth's crust, is not worth much at all, and if it flows into the market too much as a luxury product, the price will be quickly lowered.

But arms as rigid needs and hard currency will not, old weapons will become obsolete, obsolete, and the market will always exist as long as there are human beings.

As the famous saying goes: "According to statistics, there are more than 50 million private guns in the world, with an average of one for every 12 people. Let the remaining eleven also have their own guns. ”

A word crossed Aven's mind - war trafficking!

Shake your head and shake this terrible thought out. He is not a believer in the god of the Black Wing, and he does not have priesthoods such as "unrighteous wars", "atrocities", "looting", "theft", etc., which can bring strength to himself.

Where is the reason to let yourself earn all the money alone?

But.

At this time, the psychic network is also on another island in the defense island chain.

Two tall figures with long, seaweed-like hair and wearing the same dark green bodysuit are fighting.

They can crush the ground under their feet with a single kick, the blades that pop out of their slender wrists are unmatched, and the scaly armor covering them in key locations provides excellent protection for their masters.

Between the flashes of green shadows, the blades collide.

Bells, bells, bells...

Sparks fly.

A group of well-shaped sea goblins, who were also wearing this dark green bodysuit, were cheering for their comrades in battle.

This batch of sea goblins' privately customized "venom" armor made his "oath" very unconvincing.

The "venom" on each of them has been specially adjusted by Aven. Strive to meet the various requirements put forward by this group of large customers, take advantage of the excitement, and return satisfied.

Apparently.

In addition to the drowned souls who don't need any equipment at all, whether it's standard or custom, the other three tribes have already felt the warmth sent by the arms dealer Aven.

In the "Church of the Angry Waves", this group of beautiful creatures is the real local tyrant, and they don't even blink a brow when they spend a lot of money.

The "Venom" armor also perfectly meets the needs of the sea elves, beautiful, waterproof, self-cleaning, and strength amplification, providing another layer of protection for them who are good at spell-like abilities but are naturally weak.

In particular, some of the members who bear the responsibilities of "Sea Monster Knights" have greatly improved their combat effectiveness and survivability.

This is a technology that Aven has developed when he was still in the New World, which can change the physical properties through the modulation of "Venom", integrating functions such as power amplification, venom sword, venom armor, automatic repair, low-level intelligence, strain language, etc., which is much stronger than steel armor.

Eventually, Evan envisioned that Venom could be used to create an animated ship's suit and attach it to the surface of a normal battleship, replicating the above abilities while even partially automating it.

You don't need to do too much, as long as you can automatically raise the sails, lower the sails, and steer, you can save more than half of the crew members of the total crew, and arrange them all to combat posts.

In the upcoming war, the sea goblins, who are equipped with the "Venom" armor on a large scale, are excellent combat test personnel.

Other than that.

Evan also got inspiration from the same series of subordinate sorcery [Revitalize Dead Matter: Minor Elemental Elves], and made a new application on the basis of the original sorcery, and the [Puppet Bomb] that can run on its own.

So during this time, he has been relying on the rich mineral resources nearby, especially phosphate rock, desperately stockpiling his bomb stockpile. When the time comes, it will definitely give a big surprise to the army of sea monsters.

Other gains include the integration of volumes 1 and 3 through high-end knowledge, and a new offensive sorcery [Flesh Collapse] has been transformed against large flesh creatures.

Targets the basic structure of skin and flesh.

If you are hit in the body without the protection of extraordinary strength, small creatures can directly turn into slag, and large creatures like sea monsters can directly create a large hole, and if they do not have the ability to regenerate, they can basically be declared dead.

Ai Wen is confident that as long as he can thoroughly study the skin structure of high-end transcendent creatures in the future, he can make targeted adjustments. Even the magic resistance of the dragon's skin may not be able to withstand this kind of attack, which is extremely ferocious!

It can be said that this time of immersion in research is an important precipitation on the path of Evan Wizard, digesting and absorbing the knowledge and resources that have been harvested, and truly transforming them into power.

Be prepared for the next big battle.

Ai Wen knew very well that the fourth-order "Son of the Sea God" in the Deep Sea Brotherhood naturally had someone to deal with, and the task of himself and this group of "Angry Waves Church" combatants was to block the opponent's army of sea monsters.

The outcome of this war is related to the life of the "King of the Sea Monster" Kraken, to a certain extent, it affects the survival of the "Angry Waves Church", and it also directly determines whether Aiwen's envisioned territory will be empty.

"The various materials collected are enough, and preparations for the ceremony of the position can begin. ”

Looking through the eyes of a seabird at the vast, calm sea of the north, Aven muttered to himself.

......

While Evan and Olivia are stranded in the depths of the vast sea, preparing for the coming big battle.

Another major event that has attracted the attention of all human kingdoms has arrived as scheduled.

The wedding and coronation of King Philip II of Cyrius took place at the same time in the domed palace of Santa Cruz.

Under the protection of four knighted knights.

Philip II officially succeeded the Emperor of the Holy Lothar Empire, and also inherited the thousand-year-old wealth of the Frisian Kingdom, which was very good at management, so that the Kingdom of Cyrius... No, it was the Cyrius Empire that breathed a sigh of relief.

Against this backdrop, the defeat of the Invincible Armada in the Southern Continent seemed to have turned into a drizzle, and the morale of the people was unprecedentedly high. It seems to have ushered in a prosperous situation of cooking oil and flowers.

At the same time, Cyrius also received the full support of the "Order of the Torch" and began to start a new round of religious reform.

Moreover.

The churches of the other six of the Seven Gods immediately recognized the status of the Eternal Flame Reformed "Order of the Torch" and congratulated Archbishop Wycliffe with their liturgy towards the Pope.

The power of the archbishop is the recognition of the Eternal Flame, and as long as he remains the archbishop for a day, no one can say that he has betrayed the "Eternal Flame".

He set up the center of the "Flame Cult" in the Cathedral of León in Santa Cruz, the capital of the King of Cylius.

And put forward the most core two propositions.

First, render to God what belongs to God, and to the king what belongs to the king.

Second, the Church should not be centered on the Pope and the Bishops, but on the entire elect of the "eternal fire". The only leader of the Church is the "Eternal Fire", not the Pope.

Wycliffe was not directly opposed to papal rule, but he believed that everything the pope said and did should conform to the requirements of church leaders in the doctrine.

That is, the Pope must be as simple, religious and hardworking as the Orthodox, and not enthusiastic about power, struggle and wealth. Otherwise, he would not be God's chosen people, let alone the leader of the church.

He is opposed to a pope who is solipsistic like a tyrant and who frantically destroys all so-called heretics and disobedients.

The style of the "Flame Sect" is obviously more inclusive, and it has won the support of countless believers and elites.

What is the king himself who is already tired of the radical and domineering style of the original church?

His Majesty the Emperor, Philip II, also took this opportunity to depose the old religion and promote Protestantism throughout the Cyrius Empire.

Unexpected and reasonable.

After being crowned Emperor, Philip II's first fire burned to the heads of the radical wing of the "Eternal Flame" Church.

This clearly touched the interests of the radicals of the Church rooted in the "Holy City" of Novigre, and it was absolutely impossible for them to sit idly by and watch the world's largest power break out of their control.

A religious storm over faith and rights is brewing.

The people who eat melons are collectively silenced.

......

And in the southern polar regions, which have not been affected by the situation on the mainland in the slightest.

It wasn't until the end of April that it was a little later than expected. After Evan's helpers, Pipsqueak and Principal Princeton, were already in place.

The expected "Brotherhood of the Deep Sea" and the endless army of sea monsters have finally revealed their claws!
