Chapter 431: The Great Divine Retreat
The holy city of Vatini is a city of sunshine, radiance, and holiness, the whole city is spotless, full of marble buildings and roads, it is the place where the Son of God came, and it is a great city built by the Church of the Lord of Radiance for more than 2,000 years. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The sun is brighter here than anywhere else, and even the sun seems to be closer, and the sky is clear and cloudless most of the year.
The holy city of the Vatini is full of religious buildings of various styles, and the sculptures of the Lord of Light, the Holy Son, the Popes and the saints are densely scattered throughout the city, giving the city a strong sense of sacredness.
It was the brightest place on earth, and no one dared to show any darkness here.
The Church of the Radiant Lord, the highest power in Orrente, can be called a behemoth, and its most essential power is condensed in the holy city of Vatini, the pope is resident in the holy city, the Council of Cardinals, the Holy Knights, the Inquisition...... The headquarters of these famous organizations are also here, and the demons are scattered, and all evil spirits are inviolable.
On this day, almost the entire Church of the Radiant Lord gathers in St. Peter's Basilica, the name of the Son who came to the world.
Pope Benton XVIII Innocent, the five legendary cardinals of the Council of Cardinals, the four knights of the Holy Order, the triumvirate of the Inquisition......
It can be said that the entire elite of the Church of the Lord of Radiance, with double-digit legendary powerhouses gathered here, Pope Benton XVIII announced a decision that would determine the fate of the future.
"The great Lord is about to depart, and the light of the Lord will no longer shelter us!" Benton XVIII's face was stagnant: "For two thousand years, the Church of the Lord of Radiance has been committed to fighting evil and protecting the world, and now, it is time for these scum and thugs to revel!"
"And the Church of the Glorious Lord, which has suppressed them for more than 2,000 years and accumulated the greatest hatred, will inevitably become the first target of all the mice in the shadows!
"But fortunately, we still have a bright and rich world in our hands, and that is Phalanlon! We have spent eight hundred years carving out this plane, where our Odaimara seminary is located, where the Son of the Lord is buried, and this will be the last remaining place of light in the coming dark world, the last refuge of the Church of our Radiant Lord!"
"From this day forward, I will open the sacred passage to Franclon, in your foresight, and I will recall the best shepherds scattered around the world, Francis is our last home, carrying our last hope!"
"May the will of the Lord walk on earth as it is in heaven, and evil will eventually fade away, and the light will shine again on earth!"
"The will of the original owner is on earth as it is in heaven!" said almost all the people in St. Peter's Basilica, praying in unison, a decision they had made unanimously.
This means that the Church of the Radiant Lord, the number one force in the world of Orrent, which has been in existence for more than 2,000 years, will begin a strategic contraction before the dark years fall in order to preserve the last living forces.
However, there are cathedrals, Notre-Dame cathedrals, and monasteries in almost every country and town and even village in the Orent world, and the shepherds of the Lord are scattered in every remote corner of the continent to spread the glory of the Lord.
Even if Pope Benton XVIII were to call for the Great Divine Retreat now, there would inevitably be the vast majority of the priests of the Lord of Light who would not be able to come to the holy city of Vatini and enter the last sanctuary of light.
In fact, the population that the Phalanon plane can carry is also limited, and when the Lord of Radiance leaves, although this plane can still retain the radiant divine power, it will greatly decrease in terms of both the energy level and the amount of supply that can be supplied. If too many priests of the Lord of Light enter this plane, it will cause the accelerated depletion or even depletion of divine power.
In fact, as the end of the original contract between Lady Silvermoon and the Lord of Light approaches, not only are shadows beginning to sprout in the darkness, but the careerists of the world of Oronte are preparing for a more glorious position.
The most well-known and largest city in the world of Orrent is not the holy city of Vatini, let alone the capital of the French king, Paari, but the holy Norman capital of Vienna, which is located on the banks of the Danube River and under the Abys Mountain.
As the only imperial family in the world of Orrent, the Albrecht family has a crown inherited from the ancient Alexander the Great, crowned the great emperor.
Moreover, the Holy Norman Empire merged the kingdom of Span through marriage, and after defeating the crusade army convened by Pope Benton VII in the Thirty Years' War, it became the first power in the entire Orrent world!
The armies of the Holy Norman Empire are at war in the skies, on the seas, on the earth, on the alien planes, and among all races and nations, while the power of the entire empire continues to rise in this endless war!
The Albrecht family inherits the bloodline of the great Destiny Warlock, and the emperors of the previous empires are at least the strongest at the peak of the legend, enough to rule this great empire, and the current emperor Albrecht IX has awakened the stigma and entered the legend of the holy realm!
Yet in the Habsburg's most noble and glorious sacrificial hall, His Majesty the great Emperor Albrecht IX wore civilian clothes and bowed to a huge oil painting hanging on the wall.
This painting shows a military man in uniform with his iconic Habsburg chin, the founder of the Holy Norman Empire, Albrecht I!
"My ancestors, according to the news I just received from the Vatini, Pope Benton XVIII announced the 'Holy Great Retreat', shrinking the essence of the entire Radiant Lord's Church to Franlon!
At this moment, the uniformed soldier on the oil painting seemed to suddenly come to life, and his upper body floated outside the oil painting like a relief: "The shackles on us demigods are crumbling, and when the original contract ends, it will be the time when the time of the gods will come! Although I have taken the lead, but after my junior, the Church of the Lord of Radiance, initiates a great retreat, the behemoth of the Holy Norman Empire will inevitably become the most eye-catching existence in the eyes of careerists!"
"My ancestor, our Albrecht family has never been afraid of challenges!" Albrecht IX straightened his back, he said confidently: "In this age of gods, the army of the Holy Norman Empire will fearlessly fight against demons, legends, and demigods!
"Very well, my junior, you are very good, worthy of the blood of Albrecht that flows in your body. The relief on the oil painting showed a satisfied expression: "Go, come on, I will protect you, protect the warriors, and protect the entire empire!"
After more than ten days of travel, Meryl finally saw Mount Abyss, the most famous mountain in the world of Continent.
The Tower of a Thousand Laws, a magical holy land, is located in this snow-capped mountain, and Meryl has an important mission this time, that is, to bring the letterhead of Mentor Sivi to meet Her Excellency Dedeira, the great "Empress of Architecture" of the Seventh Law.
Luckily, she has Christine by her side along the way, and she returns to the Wisdom Tower to complete the challenge of the Master's Certificate with the help of Primordial Flame and become a Master of Constructing Magic.
The Tower of a Thousand Laws has been perched on Mount Abyss for thousands of years, and has since expanded from a mage tower to a city populated almost entirely by magicians.
The most common structure here is the Mage Tower, and unlike other places where high-ranking mages can build their own mage towers, only true masters are entitled to have their own mage towers.
However, even with such harsh conditions, there are still more than 300 towers standing on Mount Abys, witnessing the glory of this magical shrine for thousands of years.
Christine's mentor, Marcella, is a master of eight-ring magic, and her mage tower is not far from the Wisdom Tower, less than three kilometers away.
Meryl followed Christine to the Mage Tower, and Christine took her to meet her mentor first.
"You're the best of my disciples, little Christine. At your age, I'm just a little four-ring magician struggling to get into the path of exemplary, but you've already half a foot on the threshold of the master!" said Marcella, who looked like a kind woman, dressed in all kinds of luxurious and beautiful clothes, and hugged Christine kindly.
Christine faced her mentor like a spoiled little daughter in front of her mother, she lightly imprinted a kiss on Marcella's face, and then proudly said: "This proves that your educational ability is higher than your tutor!"
"Hahaha, little Christine is really good at making people happy!" Marcella's mentor was naturally the "Queen of Makeup" Didella, and she chatted cordially with Christine for a while, and then noticed Meryl, who had been standing not far away and quietly watching them.
"Let me guess, is this your disciple? He has reached the level of a four-ring magician, and is about to enter the path of the exemplary, how old are you, little girl?"
"My name is Meryl, and I'm fifteen years old this year!" Meryl was not too nervous in the face of this middle-aged woman who was full of affinity.
"I can't afford to educate such a strong student!" Christine shook her head slightly, "She's a disciple of Violet Academy's headmaster, Sivi!"
"Sivi, the one you'd rather leave me behind than go to a remote island?" said Marcella, looking displeased.
"What elopement, mentor, don't talk nonsense!" Christine's face turned red, and she quickly pushed the mentor.
"Okay, I'm not talking nonsense, how many rings does that Xiwei mage have now?"
"He's already advanced to a magic master, and in terms of combat power alone, I'm afraid he's almost touching the legendary rank!" Christine said.
"You seem to have told me that this Sivi is not yet eighteen years old, right? What a terrifying young man, even in the Tower of a Thousand Laws, I have never seen an eighteen-year-old magic master in so many years!" Marcella sighed, but she soon showed an ambiguous smile: "But in this way, she is worthy of our little Christine, much stronger than the red-haired little immortal bird last time!"
"Mentor, Master Sivi already has a girlfriend!" Christine quickly changed the subject: "I'm coming back this time to attack the Master's Certificate!" This Mage Meryl has a major mission, and she has a letter from Headmaster Sivi to His Excellency Didella!"
"Alright, little Christine, then you should go to the Wisdom Tower as soon as possible! I can't give you much guidance on the Master's Certificate, because that may affect your thinking and innovation, and the knowledge and mysteries I can teach are already for you, and the rest of the road needs to be explored and studied by yourself!"
So Christine and Meryl didn't stop here, and went straight to the Robot Tower.
Christine had studied at the Tower of Robotics for five months, and this time it was a crucial moment to become a Master.
Within the Construct School, almost every Construct Mage's promotion to Master requires the use of Primal Flame, so she naturally gained access to the Tower of Wisdom.
The School of Construct is a new school, with only a little more than a hundred years of inheritance, so there are only four magic masters in the entire school, and Christine, who is only twenty-one years old, has become the most promising next one.
The owner of the Wisdom Tower, the "Seventh Law" Didella, also temporarily stopped her magic experiments and summoned Christine, a shining star of the school of construction, in her study.
"When you left the Wisdom Machine Tower half a year ago, I expected that you would not be far from the master of magic, but I didn't expect this time to be so short!" Dedeira was not at all as noble as her title, and her body was full of intellectual aura: "You are better than I thought, and I am looking forward to you becoming the fifth master of magic in the Construct School!"
"Lord Dedeira, the fifth master of magic of the Constructor School has been born, on Violet Island!" Christine replied with a smile.
"Master Sivi, Master of Fabrication?" Didella raised an eyebrow.
"That's right, not only that, but he has also achieved the magic master of the seven schools of elemental, protection, space, summoning, transformation, construction, and mind!" (To be continued.) )
