Ryan and Allendo's words made Red fall into deep thought, on this path of power, give up or continue, there is no third possibility to choose, and once the choice is made, there is no turning back, Red seems to be standing at the crossroads at the moment looking at the traveler with an unknown future, he himself actually wants to know what he will choose in his heart.

Maybe it's because every man's heart can't help but crave power, or maybe it's because Red doesn't want to live up to the instructions of his teacher Iber, and finally Red slowly said his choice, he wants to inherit the will of Archbishop Iber, rectify the Church of Light, and spread the gospel of the gods to every corner of the continent.

With a goal comes the motivation to move forward, and Red quickly pulls out all the Bordeaux wines hidden in his storage pocket, and vows that he will never drink again. Seeing Red's spirits reinvigorated, Faraz, who he had known since childhood, couldn't help but feel happy for him, and at the same time, he was secretly surprised that Ryan made the same choice as Victor.

In fact, Faras came to Cassano in person this time, not just to report about the Church of Light, but to bring the results of her secret discussion with Victor. When Victor learned that Senate openly supported Ferdinand, he quickly gave a countermeasure, which was to take the opportunity to make trouble.

The current Church of Light is becoming more and more lifeless, except for a small number of young pastors, the vast majority of Bright Priests have become numb day by day, they seem to have long forgotten their responsibility to save the world, and are slowly immersed in the memory of the glory of the past, a small number of careerists are even secretly plotting how to restore the supremacy of the Church of Light on the mainland, such as Henry, the assistant of the former Archbishop of Ibel, and so on.

As the spokesperson of the gods in this plane, the imperial capital can't do it openly even if they are dissatisfied with them, but now there is a golden opportunity, Sennat's public support for Ferdinand is tantamount to giving those ambitious cardinals a channel to release their desire for power, and since Iber's death, there is no power and prestige in the Church of Light that is enough to suppress the existence of the careerists below, so its split is inevitable.

In this case, Victor simply decided to add fuel to the fire, accelerate the split of the Church of Light, and let those who were blinded by power jump out on their own, as long as the archbishop's inheritance is controlled, then in the end, no matter how the Church of Light splits, the archbishop with the staff of the burning angel and the "Praise of Light" can punish those who betray in the name of God.

Of course, in this way, the Church of Light will definitely be greatly damaged, but anyway, they are not at all responsible for the battle against the undead legion now, so Victor's move is not an act of detriment to friendly forces. If the Church of Light can finally be truly engaged in the battle against the undead legions, even if they only have a tenth of their devout followers left, it is still a force to be reckoned with, after all, light magic has a special advantage over evil undead creatures.

Naturally, the whole plan had to be carried out behind Orlando's back, and who made the latter also a believer in the gods. Therefore, in the whole process of implementing the plan, Victor must rely on the power of Ryan in this regard, after all, there are three legendary powerhouses in Cassano, and the Galib among them is enough to kill the existence of a legendary powerhouse in seconds, with him sitting in the rear, no matter what accident happens, it can be guaranteed that the loss on the human side will not be too great.

The first step of the whole plan is to keep Red away from the imperial capital, otherwise with him, the titular archbishop, sitting in the cathedral of San Nephero, those cautious guys may not dare to move, but there must be a reasonable excuse for an archbishop to leave, so Victor simply put the matter of magic restructuring on the agenda, and then the high-level power of the entire imperial capital will come to Cassano, and Red will also take the opportunity to stay in Cassano to repair the artifact.

The matter of repairing artifacts is of course very important, but in the Church of Light, the existence of those cardinals can know this secret, after all, it is impossible for Red to completely avoid everyone's eyes and ears if he wants to take out the fragments of those artifacts, so Red has a reasonable excuse to stay in Ironfist Castle. Of course, in the hearts of almost everyone, it is impossible for a few mortals to repair a completely damaged artifact, even if there is an Elven Queen Legendary Mage in it, so those careerists will no longer care about the matter of the Burning Angel Staff.

Because even if Red repairs it, according to Ferdinand's accusations, Red still can't clear his name of murdering Iber, and his position as archbishop is still precarious. And although the power of the Burning Angel Staff is strong, it is only for heretics, and for the cardinals who also believe in the god of light, it can only make them feel like a spring breeze. As for the forces and means used by the previous popes and archbishops to control their subordinates, with Red's current age and hasty succession as archbishop, he didn't learn anything at all, otherwise even if Red didn't have the Scorching Angel Staff, he couldn't fight against a powerful enemy like the demigod lich, and his internal control over the Church of Light would not be so powerless.

Now that Faras has not started the second step of the whole plan, her husband Ryan has already started to push the whole situation in the direction of Victor and their discussion, if it weren't for the fact that Farath is also one of the planners of the whole incident, it is clear that the whole plan has only been known to three or five people so far, which definitely does not include Ryan, I am afraid that she will also wonder if Ryan used some secret method to eavesdrop on their secret process.

Seeing that Red and the others began to discuss how to deal with it in the future, Faras felt that he had to say something, and he had to control the development of the situation within a certain range, otherwise once Ryan took the most direct means, Victor's entire plan would easily deviate, and even the opposite result would occur.

"Well, I'll say a few words. "Actually, I think there are a few things that are most important right now. First, it's the Scorching Angel Staff. Well, all of you are the closest people to Ryan, and I will tell you some things directly, but please keep them secret. In fact, the main purpose of Red's visit this time was to ask Sister Freya to help repair a damaged artifact, that is, the Burning Angel Staff, which symbolizes the majesty of the archbishop. ”

Emma was reaching out to return the book in her hand to the shelf, but her body froze when she heard the name, and her hand went limp, allowing the thick magic book to fall to the ground with a crisp sound. The voice naturally attracted everyone's attention in the quiet library, and Faras glanced at Emma and asked, "Why, Emma, do you know its name too?"

Emma seemed to realize her gaffe, she cast a spell with both hands, lifted the magic books on the ground again, and sent them back to the shelves, and then her body floated to Faras's side before she answered, "Yes, of course I do." This artifact had also been enshrined in the Temple of the Apocalypse for a while, but unfortunately, the High Priests couldn't find a way to replicate it. ”

"Copy artifact?" Ryan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "What the hell is going on, can you tell me more about it?"

Faras saw that Ryan was going to move the topic away, so she patted him lightly and said unhappily: "I hate it, don't be like this, people are talking about business!"

"Well, Emma, you go on. Ryan beckoned, then turned to Faras and said, "Fani, this matter may be more important than everything else now, let me hear it first." ”

Seeing Ryan's serious face, Farath nodded and agreed to Ryan's request, while Emma continued: "At that time, the Archbishop of the Church of Light once secretly came to the Temple of the Apocalypse, and the High Priest at that time was still very young and only qualified to participate as an assistant. I don't really know exactly how it happened, but I only saw a small part of it in a note from the high priest when I was managing the archives of those books. ”

Freya spoke, "Do you know how far the final copy will be?"

Emma tilted her head and thought for a while, and replied: "I only have a little impression, it seems that there are a few very critical problems that cannot be solved, so the copied artifact can only reach less than one-tenth of the power of the real artifact, and it is very unstable, maybe it will be damaged if it is released once, maybe it can't be used at all, and it will even hurt the user." ”

Emma said this, with an apologetic look on her face, and she said, "That diary was damaged a lot when I found it because it was not well preserved, and I only deduced it from a few words. However, that diary should still be in the depths of the Temple of the Apocalypse, if ......"

"Well, not for now. Ryan waved his hand and said, "The situation is delicate now, and it is impossible for us to distract our forces. Well, that's the end of this matter for now, and I'll talk about it later. Well, Fani, you go ahead. ”

Faras glanced at Ryan and continued: "The top priority now is to repair this artifact, after all, with it, you can continue the archbishop's inheritance, and it will also have a lot of deterrence against the army of the undead. Of course, if an artifact is so easy to repair, it can't be called an artifact, so we need to be prepared for both. ”

"The second thing is to form a priest legion like the magic legion, all the members of this new legion are naturally strong-willed believers, and their belief in the gods can give them a powerful light power, whether it is facing the division within the Church of Light, or facing the evil creatures of the undead legion, the light force representing justice and order can purify all heretics! As Ryan said just now, the current Church of Light is in a state of twilight, and many people have become corrupt, and this corps of priests who are completely selected, trained and commanded by Red will naturally take on the important task of revitalizing the Church of Light!"
