The sun was shining, and the lake was rippling with gold, as if the completely frozen Barack had not yet begun to fall, and the light blue, snowflake-like solid air around him had turned into dripping droplets.

The rain fell into the air and quickly turned into a white mist that blended into the surroundings.

The ice that had condensed in the air melted, and Barack's magic robe and body collapsed like sand sculptures, turning into fluffy white powder scattered and shimmering with crystalline light.

"This powerful ......" The effect of Evans's Extreme Cold Ray exceeded Lucian's expectations, and it was terrifying that a high-level magician of the Six Rings was frozen with human magic and air after casting a defensive spell.

Although this is related to the fact that Berak underestimated the ultra-low temperature limit of the extremely cold ray and chose the wrong defensive magic, it cannot hide the fact that this seven-ring magic has surpassed most of the ice and snow magic of the same level simply from the comparison of the freezing effect, and what is even more terrifying is that it can be used by quasi-high-level magicians who have initially materialized in the world of cognition with the cooperation of spellcasting materials.

In other words, from a certain level, Lucien lowered the requirements of similar seven-ring magic to five or six rings while maintaining its power, just like what the Magic Council has often done in the past few hundred years, many seven-ring, eight-ring, and nine-ring magic have now lowered the requirements of one or two rings accordingly, and even some have been lowered from high to middle level.

This is one of the major advancements that Arcane research has brought about!

Rings, talismans, and other items that had been shattered by the freeze fell on an island in the middle of the lake. Lucien came to his senses and turned to look at Averes, only to see that its translucent amber eyes were staring at the snow powder that Belak had turned into, as if he couldn't believe it.

It was also shocked by the horror of the "Extreme Cold Ray"? It had to be kept secret! Lucien thought silently in his heart, and smiled at Averies, "What's wrong? It's nothing, right?"

"The Ring...... Afrith's childish voice ...... talisman contains "grief-stricken" emotions, defeating enemies and scraping loot is one of his greatest passions, and as for the terrifying frozen rays, the strange magic that allows the five-ring magicians to cast and kill high-level magicians in one blow. I'm sorry. I'm not in the mood to think about it for a while.

This is normal Averies, Lucien wiped a cold sweat that didn't exist, "Those broken materials are also valuable." ”

In fact, after Lucien's cognition of the world realm was initially materialized, the use of the "Elemental Vortex" by leapfrogging was no longer as drained of his whole body as before. It can even be used twice. So cooperate with Averies. There are many ways to take out Barack, but Lucien is cautious and uses the strongest hole cards.

"Really?" said Averies. Asked eagerly.

"Of course. Lucien replied without changing his face.

These materials are indeed valuable, but they are too far from the value of the rings and talismans themselves, and they have been frozen, so they may not even be comparable to the first- and second-level magic items. However, how can this kind of thing be told to Averies, anyway, it will only be collected for viewing and grasping, and will not be sold.

With a flap of his back, Afrith swooped down, scraping the material in his hands at lightning speed.

"Have, Afrith, are you happy?" Lucien said with a smile,

"Yes!" replied happily as Afrith counted the small pieces of shiny material in his hand.

"So, it's time to give me back the 'elemental' ring. Lucien continued to "smile".

Afris stiffened as if he had been struck by lightning, and then said "as if nothing happened": "I'll continue to pretend to be you!"

"I don't need to go out for a while. Lucien pushed the monocle and contacted the teacher Fernando, classmate Tang Pu, Elemental Will President Maurice, Lavendi and others.

After playing tricks for a while, seeing Lucien's firm attitude, Afrith took off the Holm crown ring and reluctantly returned it to Lucien.

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

Kingdom of Holm, Rentat.

Cardinal Adrian ended his sermon to several conservative nobles and stepped out of the heavily guarded manor.

Seeing this, the coachmen who had stopped nearby gently pulled the dragon scale horses and drove slowly and smoothly to Adrian.

A dozen bishops, priests, and knights who followed Adrian quickly marched forward, divided into two columns, and "guards" were by the door of the carriage in the middle, welcoming Adrian to the carriage.

Adrian drew a cross on his chest, whispered a few words of prayer, and then slowly walked to the carriage with the majesty and bearing of a cardinal.

Suddenly, a sense of danger pervaded his heart, as if he had received a warning from the Lord, and subconsciously used the seventh-level divine technique "Chaos Teleportation".

A door shimmered with milky white light and full of divine meaning opened before him.

But just as he wanted to step inside, the illusory gate that looked like the entrance to Heavenly Mountain shook violently and shattered.

Nine-Ring Force Field Magic, "Space Lock"!

Immediately after, the surrounding temperature rose rapidly, the air was scorching and distorted, and the ground turned into orange magma, and the dozen or so bishops, priests, and knights turned into green smoke before they even had time to scream.

Andrade's cardinal robes began to melt, and the "Magic Absorption Armor" and "Sword Blade Barrier" that were triggered melted like candles in the terrifying heat and flames.

Nine-Ring Elemental Magic, "The Flame Hell of Lavendi"!

The trigger effect is generated, but the "Radiance Jump" is still locked, and Andrade can only wail and scorch to death!

A few minutes later, the tumbling and burning "Flame Hell" subsided, and the coachmen saw in horror a deep crater that had just enough to envelop a dozen clergymen, while the carriage and the coachman a few fingers away were unharmed, and the dragon-scaled horses were still snorting leisurely.

The remnants of the flames burned a few words on the ground not far away:

"Reciprocal retaliation".

......

At noon, a quiet church in the city of Rentat.

There is no place for the faithful, as it has been converted into a "monastery" for ascetics. All the ornate and extravagant decorations were replaced, and the thorns that symbolized suffering were planted.

In the room where the bishop lived, a young man in his twenties was tempering his soul with pain and tenacity in the dark.

He was the most devout, gifted, and theologically studied Abraham of his generation, and he proposed many of the latest revisions to theology. Although Valenhill did not like his point of view, he had to admit that he was likely to be promoted to the rank of cardinal within five years, and he was also one of the dozen or so young clergy who were most likely to step into the realm of the Holy Spirit, and was even evaluated by many cardinals and cardinals as a future "saint"!

When the Magic Council frequently blasphemed the gods. After the shift in the focus of the church. He was the first clergyman to propose to come to the kingdom of Holm, in his own words: "Only hardship and danger can purify devotion to the Lord." How can the glory of devotion be manifested without suffering and death?"

Abraham walked barefoot in a room covered with thorns. The pain didn't make him snort a bit. Suddenly. His eyes opened, and the whole dark room seemed to be lit up, as if something holy had descended from a heavenly mountain.

Outside. Four meteorites with flames fell from the sky and slammed into the church.

Nine Rings Magic "Meteor Burst"!

It is a magic that straddles both elemental and astrological systems.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After several violent explosions in a row, the monastery was razed to the ground.

Abraham's body was torn apart, his eyes were wide open, and he didn't know what he was going to die for, and shouldn't he have improved himself through dangerous experiences?

High in the air, Morris opened the door to "Precision Teleportation" and left before the Rentat defensive array could be activated.

......

Not far from the Cathedral of the Radiance, the Knights of the Holy Grail are stationed.

Wearing all-white Templar armor, Sigma led several knights on a routine inspection, and the sound of armor clashing was crisp and pleasant.

Suddenly, he lunged forward, extremely fast, but the lightning that slashed from the sky was even faster.

With a snap, lightning struck Sigmar's back, striking the holy wings that popped out of him.

Leaping with brilliance, the lightning bolt did not paralyze with electric shocks as usual, creating a pitch black, but vibrated at high speed, slicing through the holy wings and all-white armor with the ease of a dinner knife cutting cheese, and melting the scorched black inside.

"Fernando's Lightning Forge Furnace"!

The power of this five-ring magic in the hands of the eight-ring mage is no worse than that of ordinary eight-ring magic!

After leaving the words "reciprocal revenge", Tang Pu quickly left.

......

Alinge, Thirty-third Floor of the Magical Council Headquarters.

"Teacher, the ten cardinals, ascetics, and heavenly knights on the list have been cleared, showing the Church our determination to take revenge on the Church. In the future, if the Church dares to assassinate our magicians in Alinge, Rentat, etc., we will return it tenfold. "Soup reports to Fernando, the Lord of the Storm.

Fernando bowed slightly: "The ten people selected are biased towards the Pope, right?"

Yes, the cardinals and ascetics supported the Pope's reform of theological content, and the knights were fanatically loyal to the Pope. Tang Pu replied affirmatively, and then said a little worriedly, "Teacher, we have to prepare for an all-out war." In the face of such retaliation, it is impossible for the church not to fight back. ”

"Gather the magicians, get ready, and get the news out to the nobles. If they want to balance control on both sides, they have to suffer the backlash of this control. Fernando laughed sarcastically, "Do they want to choose a side to help, or do they want to continue to maintain a fragile balance, or do they want to watch us fight hard and wait for the best to take them together?"

"An all-out war is definitely in Holm, and it is impossible for them to watch and profit, and the best option is to threaten the Church to remain calm in order to maintain the fragile balance. When there is a huge gap in one's own strength, if you want to rely on balance to gain benefits, there are only so many choices!"

After listening to Fernando's analysis, Tonpo turned away, ready to convey the will of the Supreme Council to the Council.

After a while, Fernando saw Lucien walk in with Averies.

"You've been pretty careful about what happened this time. Fernando still didn't praise Lucien much, "Is there anything going on?"

"Teacher, I've done another paper. Lucien smiled.

Fernando didn't take the paper, and his red eyes looked Lucien up and down carefully. (To be continued......)
