Chapter 205: The Church of the God of War
After sending off Marcia, who was a little hesitant, Luo Sheng finally came to his senses. After calculating the situation of Elson's various parties www.biquge.info, Luo Sheng calmed down and began his cultivation as usual.
Although the current situation on Elson's side is still in a relatively balanced state, it is obviously more complicated than Roson expected. Originally, Luo Sheng thought that he could get the fief safely and concentrate on the construction of his own territory, but now it seems that he is obviously too idealistic. The identity of Kunir's disciple did give Luo Sheng countless conveniences and resources, but it also brought a lot of trouble to Luo Sheng. There are many things, it's not that Luo Sheng doesn't want to get involved, so he can completely stay out of it.
However, for Luo Sheng, although these power disputes are a problem, the most fundamental thing is their own strength. Only when you are strong enough can you calmly deal with various situations. Therefore, no matter where you are, you must not slack off in your cultivation.
After spending his first night in meditation in the royal capital of Elson, Rasheng arrived at the royal palace in the center of the royal capital of Elson the next morning, accompanied by Buniel. Then, guided by the palace guards who were already waiting at the gate of the palace, they came to the council hall of the palace.
At this time, in the political center of this Elson Kingdom, in addition to Raymond, who was sitting on the throne, next to him were the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Darek, the Speaker of the Noble Council, Conrad, the leader of the Kingsguard, and Edgar, the bishop of the Church of the God of War, who rarely appeared on such occasions. Hugo, the head of the Wang Family Mage Regiment, did not appear.
"See Your Majesty. After bowing to Raymond on the throne directly in front of him, Rasheng raised his head and looked at the new king of Elson, whom he had only seen in various intelligence materials before.
According to the information, Raymond should only be forty-seven years old, and because of his status as a king, he should be considered in the prime of life. But at this time, Raymond in front of Luo Sheng looked quite old, the wrinkles on his face were piled up, and his hair was even grayer, except for a pair of eyes that were still shining, Raymond looked more like an old man, and even faintly gave people a feeling that he was about to die.
"It seems that the burden of the Elson family's inheritance is greater than imagined!" After sensing the aura on Raymond's body, Luo Sheng sighed silently in his heart.
Raymond's own professional level should have just reached the silver level, not much higher than Luo Sheng, and the attributes of his body are even worse, far from being comparable to Luo Sheng. But in this 'weak' body, there is a breath that is strong enough to make Luo Sheng's heart palpitate.
Obviously, this breath is the power inherited by the Elson family. With this power, combined with the King's Scepter in Raymond's hand, it is enough to make Raymond, who is only a silver-level person, burst out with Legendary-level combat power. If it is in this royal palace run by the Elson family for generations, it is enough to compete with high-level legends. So even if Raymond's strength is far inferior to Marcia, Hugo and others, he can still sit on the throne of the king and control most of Elson's power.
However, it is precisely because the power of the Elson family's inheritance is too strong that for the inheritor, if he wants to have this power, he must bear the huge burden brought by this power. After all, it's not the power you have gained from your own cultivation, and you always have to pay some price if you want to use it. Even if the inheritor is the bloodline of the owner of this power, it still can't change this law.
Originally, if the inheritor could advance to the Golden Rank, with the various preparations made by the ancestors of the Elson family, the burden borne by the inheritor should be barely bearable. However, Raymond himself was not strong enough, and he was injured before ascending the throne, so even though he was relieved of some of the burden through magical rituals, he still paid a considerable price for it. The aging of the face is undoubtedly one of the costs.
"Luo Sheng, you are worthy of being a disciple valued by His Excellency the Resurrectant, you have just stepped into the silver level, and your attributes are enough to compare to the gold level, no wonder you were able to turn the tide in the battle of Snow Dragon Pass and make amazing achievements. Among Elson's young generation, Luo Sheng, you are the first person to deserve!" Raymond glanced at Luo Sheng with the scepter, a gleam flashed in his eyes, but he said kindly. It seems that he doesn't care about yesterday's failed wooing.
"Your Majesty has won the prize. The big victory in the Battle of Xuelongguan was the result of everyone's concerted efforts, and I just did my part, which is not an amazing achievement. Luo Sheng's eyes flashed, and he responded politely.
"Hehe, Luo Sheng, you are too modest. If killing the golden rank with the bronze rank is not an amazing feat, then there is nothing in this world that is considered a real miraculous feat. Raymond said with a smile.
"Killing the golden rank with the bronze rank won't be bragging, right?" Before Rasheng could respond, a voice full of provocation came from behind Edgar, the bishop of the God of War Church, and spread throughout the main hall. Following the voice, a young man in his twenties, with a sturdy body and a bright silver full body armor, appeared in front of everyone.
"Ahem, Bill, don't talk nonsense in the council chamber. Edgar coughed and said lightly to the young warrior behind him. However, for Luo Sheng, he did not make any indications.
"My lord, I'm just telling the truth. The Bronze Rank killing the Golden Rank has only been heard in legends, how can it be possible in reality? It can't be that someone lied about his military exploits and obtained a knighthood, right?" replied disapprovingly, the young man known as Bill. While speaking, his eyes were fixed on Luo Sheng, his eyes full of disdain.
"God of War Church, it seems that not only His Majesty the King is not giving up, but even the Church of the Gods is beginning to be unwilling to be lonely!" Looking at the performance of the two, a sneer appeared on the corner of Luo Sheng's mouth, and he already knew it in his heart.
Obviously, after failing to win him over, Raymond had realized that he could not get the full support of the Nine-Ring White Tower, so he did not hesitate to find a new partner, wanting to use the power of the God of War Church to balance the Nine-Ring White Tower, so as to expand the influence of his royal power.
After the surging of the demon tide, the influence of the gods on the Ymir continent is gradually expanding, and the Church of the Gods, which was basically in a state of contraction due to the sealing relationship, is now not willing to be lonely, and has begun to expand its power, actively laying out for the upcoming big era. And although the God of War Church has always had a certain influence in Elson before, it has always been suppressed by the Holy See of Light, and now that the Holy See of Light has been driven away, the God of War Church naturally wants to gain a greater right to speak, so Raymond and the God of War Church hit it off, and the scene in front of them appeared.
The God of War Church came forward to question Luo Sheng and prevent Luo Sheng from being knighted, so that Raymond not only hit the prestige of the Nine Rings White Tower, but also did not have to directly bear the pressure of the Nine Rings White Tower. And the God of War Church can step on Luo Sheng's reputation and expand its influence to attract aristocratic forces who are dissatisfied with the Nine Rings White Tower.
"What do you mean by the God of War Church?" Before Rasheng could speak, Bunier, who had just sat down, stood up, looked at Edgar, and asked coldly.
The nature of the performance in front of him, as long as a discerning person can see that this is a challenge from the God of War Church to the White Tower of the Nine Rings. Although it is a young man like Bill, the supporters behind it must be Edgar, the bishop of the God of War Church, and even Raymond, the king who controls most of the power in the Kingdom of Elson. Otherwise, Bill would have been expelled from the council chamber by the Imperial Guard when he said his first words.
Although he knew that there should be Raymond's support behind this matter, as the ambassador of the Nine Rings White Tower to the Elson Kingdom, it was not easy for Bunier to directly blame Raymond, otherwise it would be easy to fall into the handle, so he could only point the finger at the God of War Church that had come forward to provoke.
Although Bill spoke bluntly, he was just talking about the matter and saying the doubts in his heart, and he had no other meaning. The matter of the bronze rank killing the golden rank is indeed hard to believe. Edgar replied with a calm expression. However, the provocative meaning in the words is undoubtedly revealed. There is no intention of retreating because of the large power of the White Tower of the Nine Rings.
Bunier was slightly stunned, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Although the Church of the God of War has always had some influence in Elson, its real strength is not very strong. Therefore, in the past few months, the God of War Church behaved very honestly and did not cause any trouble for the Nine Rings White Tower to enter Elson.
But what Bunier didn't expect was that Edgar actually stood up at this time and confronted the Nine-Ring White Tower he represented. You must know that although the Church of the God of War is not small, it has only developed in the Central Continent for many years, and has become the main in other places. Under normal circumstances, the other party would not confront the Nine Rings White Tower in a place like Elson.
"It seems that the God of War Angel came ahead of schedule and gave you God of War a lot of confidence!" When Bunier was in doubt, Luo Sheng suddenly stepped forward and said to Edgar lightly.
Although the Church of the God of War is among the best in the Church of the Gods, it is far from being able to compare with the Nine Rings White Tower before the Demon Tide surges. If there was a fight between the two sides, except for the area where the God of War Temple was located, anywhere else, the God of War Church would not be the opponent of the Nine Rings White Tower, so the God of War Temple would be so honest before.
However, in the previous life, in the early days of the surging demon tide, in order to take the lead, the God of War Church held a huge sacred sacrifice ceremony and lured a demigod-level God of War Angel to the Ymir Continent. Although limited to the laws of the Ymir Continent, the God of War Angel can only exert the power of the legendary peak, but relying on the essence of the demigod rank, it has become a powerful existence second only to the Pope of Light, the demigod druid, Douglas and others, providing the most solid backing for the initial expansion of the God of War Church.
Edgar, who didn't dare to intervene at the moment, suddenly dared to stand up directly and confront Bunier head-on, obviously with strong support behind him. This support can't be Raymond, who can't easily use his strength, so Luo Sheng guessed that the biggest possibility was the God of War Angel who came in advance.
"Hmm, how do you know?" Edgar's face changed, and he unconsciously clenched the scepter in his hand, and looked at Rasheng with a look of shock in his eyes.
The news of the arrival of the God of War Angel was not made public, but it was ready to use this secret combat power to do a big thing, and then announce it to the world to deter the Quartet. But Edgar never thought that the plan of the God of War Church had not yet succeeded, but Luo Sheng already knew the secret and told it in public.
"Did it really come early?" Seeing Edgar's expression, Luo Sheng, who was originally just a temptation, verified his guess, and his expression became solemn.
"It looks like this one has to be fought!"
