The city of Parthenon.

The main shrine of the Tyre Church in the Duchy of Florence.

Eden Aikin, a young monk, is summoned to see Cardinal Celio.

As soon as he entered the Hall of Light, Eden Aikin felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say anything wrong.

Eden Aikin walked to the middle of the Hall of Light, and found Cardinal Celio sitting in an ornate chair, with a red robe over his white tunic and a two-tiered golden crown on his head. There is a cross on the sash of the robe, and even the shoes have a cross on it. The hands were naturally placed on the sides of the chair, on which at least 15 rings of various kinds were worn.

He sat calmly and alone on a somewhat oppressive platform, staring ahead.

Alone?

Right! It's loneliness.

Eden Aikin finally knew that something was wrong, that there were no attendants, no guards, no prayer men, no chanters, and no monks other than him, and there were only two people in this empty hall of light, Cardinal Celio and him, Eden Aikin.

This is a secret summons!

Eden Aikin bowed with his whole body, knelt down, and said, "Third-order monk, Eden Aikin has been summoned to ask for a meeting. ”

Only then did Celio collect his gaze from afar, staring at the third-order monk.

A third-order monk is a third-order spellcaster who holds spells from one to three rings, corresponding to a third-order transcendent profession.

Celio stared at the monk named Aijin for a long time, and then slowly opened his mouth and asked meaningfully, "Aijin, what do you think of the nobility of the principality?" ”

What do you think?

Is this a statement?

This is to stand, a bad answer is a catastrophe, a good answer is a flying yellow Tengda.

Eden Aikin's mind began to crunch like crazy, and his mind was running a little faster than a wizard who had no faith and relied solely on the power of calculations to build a model of spells.

"Under the archbishopric's crown, nobility is the cornerstone of the principality." Eden Aikin replied cautiously.

Selio's face was as usual, and he continued to ask in a salty tone, "Then what do you think of the four major families?" ”

Eden Aikin swallowed his saliva, according to the tone of the archbishop just now, obviously he didn't want to tout the nobility, and he had nothing to do with any nobleman, why bother to tout those arrogant guys.

By the way, I have nothing to do with the nobles and the "Lord of the Rings" deliberately summoned himself, does he want to secretly support me to suppress the power of the nobles?

This is impossible, this is not logical, the reason why the aristocratic power of the Duchy of Florence has swelled so quickly is not related to the fact that the "Lord of the Rings" crown in front of him is behind the scenes, who can change the will of the crown, even the Pope.

No, there are people who can change the will of the crown or that they are not human.

Eden Aikin looked at the statue of the Patronus behind Therio, gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble, and then heard Aikin say in a deep voice: "Your Majesty the Archbishop, the four families are the shepherd dogs that open up the territory for the believers of the Patron Saint. ”

Serio finally looked relieved, and his tone was a little gentle, and he only heard him say, "Very well, I will appoint you as the Patriarch of the Temple of Aktamu City. ”

Eden Aikin was ecstatic and knew he had made the right bet.

"Your Majesty, but I'm just a third-order monk who has just been promoted." Eden Aikin pretends to be modest.

Celio frowned and said, "It's true that the strength is a little worse." ”

I saw Celio's right hand caress a ruby ring exuding great power on the middle finger of his left hand and slowly pull it out.

Eden Aikin only felt his heart beating faster, his mouth was dry, and he couldn't believe it, the powerful Legendary Ruby Ring, could it be given to me?

Halfway through the ruby ring, Celio put it back on.

Then Celio spread out his palms, looked at his ten fingers, swept them around, and finally pulled out a very inconspicuous brass ring on the index finger of his right hand.

At Celio's motion, Aikin raised his hands above his head and took the brass ring very respectfully.

Legendary Ring: Ring of the Source of Mana

+3 Intelligence, +3 Spirit, +50% Mana Regen

Ai Jin took the ring of the source of magic, although it is not the ruby ring that looks very powerful, it is a pity, but this ring of the source of magic is also a legendary item, although the attribute is not much, but the magic recovery speed +50% is the best for the caster.

Not only can it help in battle, but it can also be beneficial for cultivation.

Ai Jin bowed happily and withdrew.

"You go to the Holy Vault again, get an energy storage wand, and with this ring, it is enough to give you legendary strength."

"Thank you for the generous gift from the Archbishop."

。。。。。。

Aktamu City.

Shadow Hand Guild Duel Arena.

The duel had been going on for an hour, and it was time for the sun to rise.

The bloodstains on the dueling table were contrasted with the golden morning light.

Vitruvius was covered in blood, and his body was like a mountain wall.

Neither of them had made a tactical mistake in the hour-long battle, but Vitruvius had already taken a hundred cuts, while Rodin, although completely unharmed, was physically exhausted, and now he was out of breath and no longer aggressive.

Rodin secretly felt that his physical strength had bottomed out and said secretly: "It must be decided to win or lose." ”

If it is in the field, the wanderer quickly suppresses the sword and shield warriors, fights for more than an hour, and does not put down the warriors but also exhausts his physical strength, then the wanderers have already retreated, either give up sniping, or come back after recovering their strength.

The biggest difference between a wanderer in the wild and a sword and shield warrior is that a wanderer can run if he can't beat him, while a sword and shield warrior can only die if he can't fight it.

But this is not the wilderness, this is a dueling arena for glory.

Rodin was already panting slightly, but Vitruvius was breathing steadily, his eyes as calm as water.

Unlike the other wanderers cheering, Bording's face became more and more solemn, "Although Rodin has no injuries at all, but if he fights again, Rodin will die", this is the conclusion that Bording who watched the battle came to the conclusion that this warrior has a strong physique and fast recovery power, which makes him a little shocked, the normal awakening period warrior has been stabbed so much, and he has been bloodlet to death, but he actually stands, don't look at the hundreds of wounds are very terrifying, but in fact, it will soon stop bleeding on its own, and a few drops of blood will not flow out at all. And Rodin's physical strength is about to be exhausted, his speed advantage will not be able to continue to be maintained, and if the dagger thief loses his speed advantage and is glued by the sword and shield warriors, it will be a matter of a few knives. Rodin's physical strength did not allow him to suppress with agility anymore, and he could only try to take the initiative to end the battle, which meant that Rodin had to take risks, but fortunately, the wanderer he valued most had been laying out the plan, planning a chance to kill with one hit, and he had to complete this blow before his physical strength was exhausted.

The dagger thief has a common skill against the shield warrior, called "unarmouring", which is to use the dagger to accurately cut the gaps in the opponent's armor, break the hinges between the armor, and let the armor of the shield fight detach itself, so that the vital parts of the shield warrior are exposed, and then launch a deadly attack to solve the battle.

Rodin is now going to use the "unarmouring", Vitruvius's iron-clad armor was already tattered, in the process of the battle just now, Rodin had already had the opportunity to complete the unarmouring, but the iron-clad armor worn on the warrior's body will also consume the warrior's physical strength, so Rodin deliberately retained the iron-clad armor on Vitruvius's body before deciding to launch a fatal blow, in order to increase Vitruvius's physical consumption.

And now Rodin's physical strength is no longer able to resist, and he must seek a decisive battle.

Rodin attacked again, seemingly in another unremarkable and agile suppression, only this time Rodin's dagger did not add another wound to Vitruvius, but slashed through the ox tendon at the joint of the iron-clad armour.

Boom!

The iron plates on the chest and back of the armor slipped off in response.

Vitruvius's heart was no longer protected.

Rodin did his best to play to his speed, cutting through Vitruvius' blind spot and backstabbing.

Vitruvius actually planned for a long time, waiting for the moment when Rodin launched the backstab with all his might, shield strike! The tile steel shield came horizontally, and the drumming wind frightened Rodin, but fortunately, Rodin still had a little strength left, and he could only use his left hand to resist at the critical moment, and he unloaded most of his strength at the cost of his left hand being discounted, avoiding the consequences of being knocked unconscious by a shield.

Rodin only had one hand at this time, a dagger, and the other hand was obviously bent and deformed, and could no longer be used.

At this time, Luo Dan's face was flushed, the top of his head was steaming, and his forehead was shiny, this was the external manifestation of the ancestors' blood boiling and condensing the blood imprint, just at that moment of life and death, Luo Dan condensed a blood imprint and successfully advanced to a small realm.

But it's useless, even if you advance to a small realm at this time, what's the use of adding a little agility or strength?

Left hand fractured, physical exhaustion.

Facing a sword and shield warrior with calm breathing, abundant physical strength, and amazing stamina, there is still only one way to die.

What Bording and the other wanderers did not expect was that at this time, Vitruvius threw aside the tile steel shield, threw away the round iron hat on his body, and threw away the half-cut inlaid iron armor on his body, except for shorts, he only held a tile steel long sword.

One is holding a long sword, and the other is behind his back.

Could this be to change the Juggernaut route?

"It's not!" Boulding said categorically.

"He doesn't want to take advantage of Rodin, he wants a fairer duel, this is an act of glory!" Bording felt deep admiration for Vitruvius's actions, and he burned with a sense of sympathy.

Seeing this, Rodin took a deep breath and gave a very solemn bow to Vitruvius, who had made the same gesture with his discounted left hand behind his back, and they were going to have a real duel to the death.

The two got closer and closer, and Rodin instantly turned into an afterimage.

Vitruvius shouted loudly and swung his sword and slashed.

The two staggered, and Vitruvius thrust a half-cut dagger into his chest.

His face was flushed, the top of his head was steaming, and his external performance seemed to have been promoted to a small realm.

Rodin, on the other hand, collapsed from exhaustion.
