If it were someone else, he might only be able to guess the approximate range of "suspects", but Benedict III clearly knew that Lucien only mastered the mysteries of negative emotions and ancient devils, and did not have much way to steal and use the power of faith, and was also secretly developing the Cult of Steam God and planning to intercept the power of faith of the "God of Craftsmen" Haidt, so it is very likely that Lucien Evans and the Northern Church exchanged the part of the methods they had to achieve the purpose of making up for each other.

Of course, Pope "Viken" will not make a definitive judgment on this, after all, it cannot be ruled out that someone deliberately did this to muddy the situation.

"If it's really you, the 'acting' is really more than all the theater actors......" Benedict III restrained his expression, but his tone was still a little gnashing.

When he tempted Lucien before, he was sternly rejected by him, saying that it was just an experiment, and all he needed was to discover the essential mystery contained in it, rather than really wanting to take this path, and disdained Tanos and the god-like method he had created, and because of his consistently good and firm arcane attitude in the past ten years, he actually believed it, and actually believed it......

"It is necessary to determine whether the Berkovsky gang has the secret of combining the power of emotion and the power of faith to attack the gods...... If there is, they have to speed up the progress, and they must be preempted before they try to break through the gods...... "All the negative emotions of Benedict III quickly disappeared, and the "channel" through the inexplicable connection was attributed to the monster Viken, no longer entangled in Lucian's possible "deception", but thinking about the most important thing to do at the moment.

Although Tanos and the god-like method he pioneered helped him become a god-like with him, there were many coincidences and luck in the process. There are changes that they don't understand at all, so the success rate is much lower than what actually appears, even if Berkovsky and others have the divine brilliance and faith accumulated from generation to generation, the probability of successfully promoting to god-like is also terrifyingly low, and failure means that they will either suffer a heavy blow, don't try again in a hundred years, or fall directly.

However, no matter how low the probability is, it cannot be ruled out, so you must confirm it first, and then reasonably change your plan.

Benedict III stroked the platinum scepter beside him and looked out the window with a distant gaze: "...... In addition, you have to get a list of Lucien Evans' exchange materials for the last two years. Maybe you'll be able to find something inside...... 'Dead Bird'. It's time for you to play your role, not that I'm going to blackmail you and order you to go against the premise of cooperation, but that your future is also at stake. You yourself know what is best for yourself......"

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

A week later. Benedict III's desk included a list of Lucien Evans' exchange materials for the last three years.

As a magician. There was an endless process of experimentation, refining the right item or device, so the list was sprinkled with hundreds of pages. It's dizzying at first glance, and there's no way to find anything useful in it.

"If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to find out what you're really about......" Benedict III's face sank like water, constantly looking through it, constantly drawing circles on a certain material.

He set up Lucian's list according to the materials needed for his god-like law, ticking them out one by one, if there are few cases that match, it means that it is just a coincidence, if this list contains most of the "god-like law materials", then the answer is self-evident - as a legendary magician, Lucien obviously has his own treasure trove, has his own source of materials, and not all of them need to be exchanged from the council.

Black circles were drawn on the white paper, and Benedict III's face became more and more gloomy, and it was not until the hundreds of pages of materials were outlined that he stared solemnly at the back of the blank space: "This contains eighty-seven kinds of materials needed for the divine method, accounting for seventy-three ......percent of the materials required for the entire method."

Suddenly, he raised his head slightly, "These eighty-seven materials contain some of the materials needed to combine the power of emotion and the power of faith to impact the ritual of the gods! Lucien? Evans changed this last step from other legends, or did he research it himself?"

If it were other legendary magicians, even if it was Douglas, Benedict III would not speculate like this, but Lucien himself has studied the power of faith and emotion for many years, and has opened the "Immortal Secret Room", seen the "Secret of Immortality", and is good at creating miracles, and has put forward theories that people can't even imagine, so if it were him, it might really be possible to rely on his own research to complete the "god-like method" in his hands in such a short period of time!

“...... He must not be promoted to god-like, otherwise he may break through to the true god before I am sure......" Benedict III narrowed his eyes.

Thinking of this, he stood up suddenly: "There was news from the Dark Mountain Range that Lucien Evans has completed the state transformation, and with the preparation of materials, he may try to attack ...... in the next year or two."

“...... The Death Bird and other cooperating Legends must keep an eye on his movements, and watch out for his Cult of Steam......"

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

In the icy moon (December), dripping water turns into ice, and the whole of Rentat is covered with a layer of snow-white clothing.

Augustus led Harold, Minna and other core priests of the Cult of Steam God to worship the silver-white "Nuclear Bomb Artifact", and worshiped the embodiment of the power of this "God of Steam", expressing gratitude for the past year and praying for the blessing of the new year to the supreme Lord.

With their eyes covered with their right hands, they bowed down to the ground, praising the god of steam in their hearts, singing praises to the god of steam, and reporting the harvest of the glory of the Lord that they had spread in the previous year.

At this moment, the silver-white "nuclear bomb" glowed with a soft luster, and an empty light sprinkled on them.

They trembled slightly, felt a divine transcendent power to eliminate some of the hidden anxiety in their hearts, and suddenly, their mood became more peaceful and peaceful, and they prayed in unison:

"You are in charge of everything, you control the boundaries between life and death, you are the King of kings, you are the God of God. ”

A silver-white ray shot out of the "nuclear bomb" and fell on the head of Archbishop Augustus, and then everything was back to its original state.

Augustus slowly got up and said solemnly and with implicit excitement: "The Lord has sent an oracle asking us to hold a large prayer service on the weekend of the last week of every month in the future, and has changed some of the prayers so that His glory can shine on other dwarves outside of us, and save them from the bewitchment and coercion of false gods!"

"Walk on the earth as in your kingdom. The other dwarves replied in unison.

After staying in Rentat for a long time, they were inevitably influenced by the Cult of Truth, and incorporated some of the prayers into their "Mechanical Apocalypse".

At the end of the service, when Augustus led the core priests to preach to the other dwarves, a pitch black suddenly protruded above the silver-white "nuclear bomb", and a small bird with a strong sense of death fell, carefully examining the remaining breath on the "silver-white nuclear bomb".

"Once a month, change the prayer, hmph, you can't wait......" The bird made a harsh, strange sound.

After the sound of "Du" and "Du", the little bird quietly disappeared, and at this time, an extremely evil aura appeared out of thin air and hovered in the chapel for a few seconds.

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

"The recent changes in the Cult of Steam...... Pope Benedict III already has several more pieces of information in his possession.

He was expressionless, knocked lightly on the table, and said to himself: "It seems that his progress is faster than I expected, and he is already making the best preparations, if it weren't for the mistakes made by the Northern Church, he was really hidden by him, and when he finds out later, maybe he is already a god." ”

Benedict III leaned back slightly, leaned back in his chair, and asked himself, "Where will you hide and complete your promotion?"

Thinking of this, He suddenly snorted, "No matter where you hide, I can find you." Others may not be able to, but as long as you follow the path of the power of faith, then you can't hide it from me!"

Out of nowhere, he took out a beautiful statuette of a bald dwarf with a dense pattern on the top of his head.

Viken closed his eyes and stroked the bald dwarf statue with his right hand, and a little bit of divine brilliance appeared that was difficult for others to see, as if there were little angels surrounding it.

The bald dwarf statue also slowly swayed a layer of unpredictable and untouchable divine light, and countless lines that seemed to be illusory extended from the void.

"Where the power of faith gathers, where it gathers......" Viken suddenly opened his eyes and blurted out:

"The Dark Mountain Projection in the Necronomicon Realm!" (To be continued......)
