readx;? The Holy City of Vatini, as the most shining and glorious city in the Orent continent, the place of the Son of God, and the holy place of the Church of the Glorious Lord, has always been the center and focus of the whole world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since the Catastrophe, Benton XVIII, who was generously blessed by the departing Lord of Radiance and promoted to demigod, has not appeared in public, and the Church of the Lord of Radiance has not made any statement.

Since the Thirty Years' War, the Church of the Lord of Radiance can be said to be inferior to one generation after another, and from Benton XV onwards, three consecutive popes have not been able to break through the peak of the legend and enter the Sanctuary.

A thousand years ago, no, it would have been unbelievable even three hundred years ago, but it was the way it was.

You must know that there are still Sanctuary powerhouses in Odaimara Theological Academy, there are still Sanctuary powerhouses in the Templar Order, and even the three giants of the Inquisition are all legendary peak powerhouses, which are enough to compete with His Majesty the Pope, so far, the Pope's authority has completely fallen to the lowest point.

Although Pope Benton XVIII was gifted and hailed as the Lord of Revival, he barely entered the Holy Realm, and with the help of the Holy Cross and the Radiant Apocalypse.

Therefore, in the midst of the catastrophe, Benton XVIII leaped from the sanctuary to the demigod, he needed enough time to digest and absorb, and he needed to have enough understanding of the demigod and even the gods in essence, so he entered St. Peter's Basilica for the deepest meditation after making a few temporary arrangements for several important matters.

During this month, the affairs of the Church were handled in an orderly manner by the cardinals, but everyone's eyes and thoughts drifted to the deepest part of St. Peter's Basilica.

However, the cathedral was so calm that Pope Benton XVIII never came out of it, and the Church of the Radiant Lord naturally carried out the previous strategic contraction, except for the plane of Franconian and the holy city of Vatini, they gave up all spheres of influence, even though the envoys from Milan pleaded daily to meet His Majesty the Pope, they were still turned away.

And in the deep and quiet secret chamber of St. Peter's Basilica, Pope Benton XVIII has bright eyes and clear consciousness, he has mastered the vast divine power in his body, and now he is thinking about the future.

You must know that with the news of the imminent end of the original contract revealed, there is a reasonable enough explanation for the continuous weakening of the radiant divine power for hundreds of years, and various histories and ongoing events confirm this.

The fact that the Lord of Radiance is about to leave Orent can be said to be a terrifying thing for the Church of the Lord of Light, which is enough to arouse doubts and doubts among devout believers, and the feeling of abandonment can even lead to a large-scale collapse of faith!

Therefore, Benton XVIII strictly forbade the spread of any rumors within the Church, and on the other hand, he was also looking for a way out.

At this point, Eulicia, the Lord of the Dawn, surfaced and was chosen by some of the Church to be the future.

She is the first light of the Orrente world, and naturally holds part of the power of the source of light, and after the Lord of Light leaves Orrente, she should naturally lead the entire church and become the new goddess of light!

However, many more have chosen to surround His Holiness the Pope, looking forward to the teachings of the Holy Father at the last moment, convinced that the Holy Father will never leave his followers behind.

Therefore, at the Supreme Cardinal Council of the Holy See eight years ago, Pope Benton XVIII had to pinch his nose and appoint Eulicia as the Radiant Saintess, and the old guy of Annecis went directly out to serve as the Archbishop of France, doing his best to develop the faith for Eulicia.

Not only Angsis, but also within the church, many people also have a glimmer of hope for the Lord of the Dawn, once the Lord of Radiance really abandons the believers and leaves Orrente, then the Lord of the Dawn is undoubtedly the best choice, to help the Lord of the Dawn ascend to the Throne of Light, then the Church of the Lord of Radiance will never decay, and even become stronger!

Such a future is acceptable to anyone, but there is only one person who cannot: Pope Benton XVIII.

He is the true Pope, the spokesman of the Holy Father in the world, the noble being, the divine chosen one, how can he bend his knees to meet others, even if it is a demigod?

If the Holy Father is really leaving, why can't he be enthroned on the throne and continue to hold high the glorious banner in the continent of Orrent?

Why can't you be immortal, high among the stars, and become a god?

Once he has such an ambition, Benton XVIII will not give up the authority in his hands, he knows that many high-level people in the church have expectations and illusions about the Lord of the Dawn, so he has promoted many cronies and newcomers in the past eight years, in fact, the behemoth of the Lord of Radiance, has fallen into an internal ideological split!

But Benton XVIII was filled with fear in his heart, knowing that Eulicia, the Lord of the Dawn, was a true demigod, the first light of the world of Orrent, but he was just a pope who had just stepped into the Sanctuary.

Once the Lord of Light is really gone, he loses his natural and divine identity as the spokesperson of the Lord, then he will not be able to compete with a demigod at all, and it will be inevitable that Yulicia will enter the holy city of Vatini.

So for Pope Benton XVIII, the biggest enemy in the whole world is none other than Eulicia, the Lord of the Dawn!

That's why he had to choose to take a risk, trying to seize the divine power of the Lord of Radiance, so that he could also gain the power and rank of a demigod.

Benton XVIII was terrified when he thought of this, and it was only after he personally mastered this vast power that he realized how naïve his previous thoughts were.

And the gap between the Sanctuary and the demigods is even greater, this is the difference in natural rank, and the demigods are the last journey to the gods.

If it weren't for the generous blessing of the Lord of Radiance, he would have been overwhelmed by the radiant power in the icon, becoming the most bizarre and ridiculous of the eighteen popes.

But now, Benton XVIII has become a demigod, on an equal footing with Eulicia, the Lord of the Dawn, and more importantly, he controls the holy city of the Vatini, which naturally has an advantage in the competition within the Church!

Both Benton XVIII and Euricia have only one goal in the future, which is to become the gods who master the source of light, which means that they will not die on the road to the future and will be the greatest enemy.

Even the demons in the Endless Abyss, even the undead in the Land of Bones, in the eyes of Pope Benton XVIII, are far less hateful than the Lord of the Dawn, Eulicia, and her Church of the Dawn!

But patience must be achieved!

Benton XVIII took a deep breath, the general situation is such that he cannot reflect his personal likes and dislikes, in the midst of the dark frenzy, the Church of the Lord of Light and himself must endure and preserve the essence so that it can be used in the final battle for faith.

Since he planned to become a god among the stars, he had to reform the church, and the Lord of Light had withdrawn, so the whole church was his own foundation.

Euricia has founded the Dawn Church, believing in the Lord of Dawn, and she must reform the Church herself so that the believers can convert themselves!

So what kind of name should it be?

Benton XVIII fell into deep thought.

In the world of Orrent, it is a well-known truth that there is great power flowing in the blood, and how many warlocks and knight families rely on the bloodline for inheritance, and vampires naturally rely on the essence of the blood to improve their rank and ability.

Blood has been studied on a deeper level in the hands of vampires, known as "blood energy", and many of the vampires are good at using strange and powerful blood magic, and they are also powerful warriors, which can be called a model class of demonic and martial arts.

Vampires are not a product of nature, each powerful vampire will develop their own blood dependents in a long life, forming one direct blood family after another, so far, there are a total of thirteen vampire families active in the world of Orrent.

The vampire profession is not unattractive, they are artificial immortals, and as long as they become a "newborn" among vampires, they will have a lifespan of at least one hundred and fifty years, which is already a level that can only be reached by warriors of the legendary rank.

As for those powerful vampire marquis and dukes, they have been active for hundreds of years and have unfathomable strength, and there is a large part of the human race that envy and want to become vampires, and Queen Libora is undoubtedly one of them.

Prince Nicholas is the most powerful of all vampires and the most promising one to become a god in the future, but it is impossible for him to directly command the thirteen blood clans scattered throughout the Oronte world, so the strategy for the Kingdom of Itanli is also like the Dark Council, which divides the sphere of influence in advance.

The holy city of Vatini was not to be provoked, and the entire kingdom of Itanli was not so vast that the tiny island of Sicily was divided into fiefdoms of three entire vampire families.

Giovanni, Refono, Nophile, two marquisal families, one duke.

While Sivi and his Arcane Corps had not yet set out from Violet, the three vampire families had already begun their strategy against Sicily, and the chaotic city of Palermo, the most brilliant and prosperous city on the golden sea, became the favorite place for vampires to conquer, with high-rollers licking blood at the tip of their knives, drunken tourists dreaming of death, big merchants who enjoyed life more than emperors, and poor people hovering on the line of life and death......

The Council of Five, the apparent ruler of the chaotic city of Palermo, is nothing more than a group of high-level professionals, and even a small three-ring mage, how does it compare to the noble Giovanni family?

Almost instantly, all of Palermo's top brass were wiped out, and only one person escaped, and that was the Green Wolf.

The green wolf is not only a sixth-order warrior, but also transplanted the bloodline from the Beihai Town Guardian of the Deep Sea Plane by Xi Wei, and attached a magic tattoo to him with the Ice Hell Golden Mang, which makes his overall combat power beyond the level of ordinary master-level powerhouses.

Although the green wolf did not have any resistance in the face of the powerful vampire marquis, he used the power of his bloodline to slowly dissolve the psychedelic blood that the vampire injected into his body, and successfully escaped from prison at the most languishing time of the vampire at noon, jumped into the sea and escaped from Palermo.

The flame of vengeance danced in the eyes of the young wolf, and his dearest woman, Heidi, and his little daughter, who had just been born less than a year old, were still in the hands of vampires!

Although he can't defeat these vampires, on Violet Island in the northwest, there is still the mysterious Mage Sivi! Palermo is already in Violet's sphere of influence, and Mage Sivi will never allow this place to fall into the hands of vampires.

After the green wolf obtained the blood of the Beihai Town Guardian, he was as comfortable in the ocean as if he had returned home, he was like a vigorous sailfish, swimming at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour in the deep sea, and it took less than five magic hours to come to the port of Nanhai Town, Violet.

As it gets late, a muscular wolf emerges from the ocean, takes out his spare shirt from his storage ring, and rides the magic carriage straight to Violet Castle.

"My dear old friend Green Wolf, it's a pleasure to see you again!" Sylvie greeted the guest, and the Green Wolf's attitude was obviously respectful and awe-inspiring towards him, and he would never come if it was not necessary.

"Master Sivi, something is wrong! A group of powerful vampires raided Palermo, and the Council of Five was all captured, led by a vampire marquis!" The green wolf gasped violently, and his long-distance swimming in the sea consumed a lot of physical strength: "Master Ed, Miss Monica, and my wife Heidi and our daughter, all fell into the hands of the vampires!"

"Vampires, one step faster than I thought!" Sivi frowned, it seems that the fall of the Rhine Federation in seven days has given the members of the Dark Council great encouragement and confidence, Prince Nicholas and his vampires have indeed launched an offensive against the entire Kingdom of Itanli.

Although Prince Nicholas was forced by the tyrannical Lord Razgata to choose the Kingdom of Itanli as his sphere of influence at the Dark Council, the strength of himself and the thirteen vampire families should not be underestimated.

Prince Nicholas had already stepped into the Sanctuary, and any of the other vampire dukes had the power of the legendary rank, and such a powerful strength was definitely not something that the current Sivi and Violet could fight.

"Don't worry, Wolf Owl, Palermo can't afford to fail, I'll send an army belonging to Violet as soon as possible to rescue our old friend!" Sivi instructed the maid to place Wolf in the guest room, who had just broken off his conversation with another old friend.

That old friend was Cesare, the dean of the United Magic Academy of Venice, and of course the word "former" would be added now.

"Speaker Sivi, Venice is finished! A towering gray-white tree suddenly grew out of the center of Venice, and an overwhelming white crow flew out of it, and all the citizens who approached this big tree fell into a deep sleep! This is undoubtedly a legendary spell of the Nine Rings, and only the 'White Crow Covering the Sun' Schiller of the Spiritual School can do it! Not only the Psychic School, but even the Shadow Trickster jumped out, my two students and the four tutors of the Academy were all assassinated, only the Vice Dean, Lady Nimia, escaped, Venice has now become the territory of the Mind Mage and the Shadow Trickster, and everything is over for me!"

Cesare used to be a beautiful middle-aged man with a personable demeanor, with a gentlemanly demeanor in everything he said and did, not in a hurry, not arrogant or impatient, but now he spoke like a missile, his hands trembled like madness, and he was obviously in a great emotional instability.
