"Thunder Hell", Fernando's Chamber of Secrets.

The life talisman suddenly became transparent, blooming with a clean brilliance, and a section of blood-stained intestines twisted and wriggled and split and grew, and it took a full hour for the Storm Lord to change back to his original form, and then it took another two hours for his strength to slowly return to the level of the Legendary Third Order.

Putting on the usual bright red magic robe, and inlaid a strange prosthetic eye that looked like a vortex in the center of the storm into the left eye socket, Fernando opened the node of the "Thunder Hell" to connect with the outside world, not that he did not trust Douglas, Hathaway, Lucien and others, but the most basic vigilance of a legendary magician who has lived for thousands of years.

The node opened, and within half a minute, the light of the teleportation array lit up, and Lucien's figure appeared in the Thunder Hell.

"Coming back so early?" Fernando smirked, "I thought you'd have a good 'celebration' with Natasha." ”

Even Lucien was very accustomed to the teacher's impropriety, and his face was a little red: "Prince Patrick was killed by order of the old king, Natasha was not in a good mood, I comforted her for a while, and then His Excellency the Nightmare King sent Archduke Vaorit over, their father and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time, and I was also worried about how you recovered, so I rushed back." ”

"What's there to worry about? I'll be able to go out and fight the Church Saints again. Fernando once again showed his stormy momentum, and then shook his head, "It's not too strange for this to happen in the royal family, the little girl still has too little knowledge. ”

He saw that Lucien was so laid-back, and he could go into the Palace of Nexer to comfort Natasha. Naturally, understanding that the short war was over, and that it turned out well, did not rush to ask.

Lucien still looked at Fernando with some concern: "Teacher, why do I think you are more injured than the Holy Avengers?

It's good that Fernando doesn't show his momentum, but as soon as he shows it, Lucien senses that something is wrong.

"The trauma to the soul has spread a little bit over here, but it's only temporary, and it will heal in a year or two. Fernando said it well, and suddenly blew his beard and glared, "Although Melmos is stronger than me. But I'm in full state. This time, he didn't bring two legendary items, and the one-time items such as puppet puppets and doppelganger mirrors prepared in advance were also used to entangle the five saints, and the defensive legendary magic was completely broken by them, so he was even more seriously injured. ”

This is also the reason why he also felt that he was injured and escaped when he faced the Pope when he was in the third order. After all, there are many legendary items and legendary magic in the life-saving defense category.

The Ancient Magic Empire has summed up some things that cannot be explained by existing arcane theories based on the fall of many legendary magicians. For example, the Sword of Truth can directly slash souls. And follow the mysterious connection to kill all the fragmented soul fragments, such as the destruction of the main soul when the energy attack of pure violence exceeds a certain limit. It will also injure the soul fragments in the resurrection device in some mysterious way, and if the energy is raised to a higher level, and the mage does not make an effective defense, it will even cause a complete fall.

Ancient magicians named it "causal line damage", which is equivalent to some of the principles of curses, and no one has yet been able to study the truth thoroughly.

As for the situation of the "Eternal Blazing Sun" explosion center, the current view of the Supreme Council is that too much energy will affect time and space, causing confusion in the causal line, so it will cut the weight, afraid of killing Fernando together.

Lucien didn't quite believe in this explanation, but for the time being, he couldn't think of any other reason, the research in the soul realm was still far behind.

"Yes, yes, yes. Lucien Zhilu Dao has always been a magician with strong self-esteem and never praises others, of course, he nodded in agreement and changed the topic, "Speaking of which, in order to trap the five saints this time, the council has really used all the years of accumulation, and it may not be possible to use this suicidal method to achieve miraculous results in the future." ”

Puppet puppets, doppelganger mirrors such one-time items are equivalent to scrolls in the legendary realm, much rarer than alchemy items of the same level, the materials required are more rare, and the refining failure rate is also higher, even the magic council, an organization famous for alchemy, there are only three in total, all of which belong to legendary magicians - the puppet puppet is contributed by Douglas, and the mirror of the doppelganger is Fernando's treasure.

"If you want your own people to lose less, in addition to careful planning, all kinds of emergency preparations, and active and passive, you must be willing to use items and scrolls to smash at critical moments, and if you don't want to spend money, you will die!" Fernando looked like he was wealthy, but the unquiet storm in his eyes betrayed his heart, "If I didn't have the Doppelganger Realm and the puppet puppet, I would have brought the Robe of Juggernaut and sacrificed it to entangle the five saints at that time, but in this case, the Council would have to compensate me with a legendary item." ”

Basically, except for strange things like Lucian, legendary items are only owned by legendary powerhouses, but the Magic Council has also organized many operations to explore the half-plane of ancient magicians, and found the relics of those legendary mages who died due to various unexpected encounters.

The Legendary Items obtained and the Legendary Items commissioned by the Precious Materials obtained are in the public possession of the Council, and are held by the Grand Arcanist on duty in Alinge, and can be exchanged for those who have made special contributions to the Council or amassed a large amount of wealth, and members of the Supreme Council can borrow one for a certain price when they go out or go on adventures.

There are currently four such public legendary items, and the high exchange price is too high for even legendary mages to bear, and there are only two cases in which special contributions are recognized, one is the kind in Fernando's mouth, and the other is a confirmed system of arcane theory that changes the era- This is how Fernando's robe of domination was obtained, and a hundred years ago, when a few grand arcanists emerged at once, the Council's legendary items were almost not enough, and with the development of the Xenodimensional space in recent decades, the rare materials obtained increased, and after suffering several failures, the creator and the alchemist each refined a piece to fill it.

Lucien felt a deep sense of stoning people with money, although the church was far richer than the council. But alchemy is still too far behind.

Fernando didn't say anything else, and asked about the outcome of the battle: "How many of the five saints have fallen, and what is the final result?"

Lucien described what had happened, and Fernando snorted coldly as he listened, saying that if it weren't for Melmos, all four saints would have died.

After speaking, Fernando frowned slightly and said: "It's good that one of our legends hasn't fallen, but it's a bit weird that the new pope will climb to the god-like level at once, if the pope is sure that he has the favor of the god of truth, why wouldn't he directly kill all the magicians present? ”

In the past. Popes die at the end of their lives. There is plenty of time to pick and train a successor, and even then, it will take at least a year for a new pope to become a god-like.

"Well, if the Pope is really the earthly spokesman of the God of Truth. You can get divine grace. What is the splintered Northern Church and the State Church of Holm? Why can the Pope still use the 'Divine Grace'?" Lucien also expressed his doubts.

Fernando pondered: "I think of something wrong, the new pope is the peak of legend in a year, so why a few gods have never tried to seize such an opportunity in hundreds of years. The defense of the holy city of Lance can stop one god-like, but not two. ”

Lucien shook his head, if he asked Yinyue about this kind of thing, he would definitely not get an answer.

............

The Holy City of Reims, the Hall of Light.

Anasta, who had not yet officially taken office, stood in front of the remaining members of the Cardinal Council with the platinum scepter, and said sadly: "The Magic Council colluded with the Abyssal Demons to try to destroy the world, but fortunately, His Majesty the Pope sacrificed himself, practiced the Lord's way, repelled the Abyssal Will, and saved countless pure souls. I will carry on his legacy and destroy evil once and for all!"

This is to characterize and publicize this event, the four countries of the Strait and the Northland coastal corridor have been lost, and the base must be secured, and a pope who sacrifices himself to save the world is certainly a joy for believers.

Melmos looked around him, and his heart was saddened, two of the eight saints fell, one betrayed and died, one became the pope, and only half were left, and the ordinary Holy Spirit priest fell and three were missing, and there were only sixteen members of the entire cardinal order, but fortunately, there were still angel kings who were ready to stay on earth for a short time to help the church tide over the difficulties.

"We will carry on the will of the Pope and destroy evil once and for all!" replied the members of the Cardinals, with crosses drawn on their chests, in unison with grief. ”

Anasta's voice became calm and solemn: "We have suffered great losses, but we must not lose faith because of this, this is the test of the Lord, and with the favor of the Lord, we will surely achieve the most triumphant victory." Melmos, you go to Terrance and other Holy Spirit pastors and tell them that as long as they are willing to repent, the Lord will forgive their sins, they are blinded by Salder, they have just gone the wrong way for a while, and they can return to the Lord's presence, which is a gift from the Lord. ”

Saying this in front of the members of the Cardinal Conference with the gift of the Lord is equivalent to truly forgiving the Holy Spirit priests such as Terrance, even if they want to repent later, they have to take into account the problems that make the whole Cardinal Conference feel cold, and Salde's last hole card is the Abyss Will, and it is difficult for these three Holy Spirit pastors to say how many secrets they know about him.

Melmos showed an expression of appreciation and whispered, "Follow the will of the Lord and your orders under the Pope's crown." ”

Only by uniting the majority can we be relieved.

"I'm not the Pope yet. Anasta smiled, then turned and walked up the steps.

There were only seven steps, and when Anasta stepped onto the first step, an ethereal chant sounded.

Stepping on the second step, a faint holy light sprinkled down, making the Great Light Hall even brighter.

In the third step, countless angels of light appeared, surrounding Anasta.

In the fourth step, the entire holy city of Reims was enveloped in holy light, and all the faithful and clergy prostrated and prayed: "...... Thou shalt walk in thy ways on the earth as in thy kingdom. ”

In the fifth step, there seemed to be a projection of Heavenly Mountain in the sky.

In the sixth step, a ray of light shone directly on Anasta.

Taking the seventh step, Anasta turned his back to the crowd and turned his back to the crowd, his face turned extremely pale, and his left hand trembled uncontrollably as if it were old and decayed, but everything quickly recovered, and he turned to face the members of the College of Cardinals, and raised his scepter.

At this moment, a majestic and divine voice descended from an inexplicable height:

"Give you the holy name 'Benedict'!"

Anasta respectfully drew a cross, and the voice resounded in the holy city of Reims:

"From this day onwards, I am Benedict III!" (to be continued......
