22. War, on the verge of breaking out1

"Dear brother, the family is very satisfied that you were able to control the Quartet of the conflict in Lobit City......"

George's family letter is always a compliment to his younger brother, even if Philip does something that makes him or his father proud, George will be praised by everyone.

Philip knew that this was George's guilt for himself, and as an older brother who had always regarded himself as Philip's protector, George had always been angry about failing to prevent Philip from being sacrificed.

I have persuaded my eldest brother countless times, and I don't mind, but he always doesn't listen.

Philip smiled and shook his head, locking the letters in the drawer of his desk, and every time he looked at the drawer full of stationery, Philip could feel the warmth of his loved ones.

Putting the letter away, Philip raised his head and showed a gentle smile on his face: "Nina, thank you for bringing me a letter from home, but as an archbishop, you must not have come to my poor country just to bring a letter from home, right?"

In front of Philip sat a middle-aged woman who looked white and chubby, just like the aunt on the street. Most of the front-line clergy of the Hope Cult are people who are relatively good at approaching the people at the bottom, they look like the uncle next door, the uncle downstairs, or the aunt on the street, just looking at their ordinary appearance, it is easy to have a sense of closeness, which is also the reason why I hope that the Divine Cult Weishenme can become the state religion of Bugas.

As Nina, who was capable enough to run the affairs of a province, appeared in her castle with George's letter, Philip did not think that the Archbishop would just want to be a postman.

The smile on Nina's face makes people feel a little more good when they see it, and despite her age, her smile can make people feel peaceful.

"Lord Earl, you are the Holy Son of my religion, and it is our duty to serve you. ”

Ever since Philip was sacrificed to Katrina and became a priest, he has been called the Son of God in the Cult of Hope.

"However, this time I came here because I needed the help of the Earl. ”

Sure enough, there was nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, and Philip sat up straight, "Please speak." ”

"Your Majesty the High Priest has received an oracle from the Goddess," Nina's face was filled with divine light at the mention of Katrina, and she looked extremely excited, "Your Majesty has asked us to expand the church in Lobit City and elevate the diocese of Lobit to the direct jurisdiction of the Cathedral of the Goddess of Hope. ”

The Cathedral of the Goddess of Hope is the headquarters of the Cult of Hope, according to the division of responsibilities, each of the 33 provinces of the Bugas Empire has an archbishop, who governs the religious affairs of the province on his behalf, and at the same time, some important cities in Bugas have also set up dioceses directly under the Central Government, which are directly subordinate to the Cathedral of the Goddess of Hope.

Generally speaking, these cities are either extremely populous, economically developed, or politically important.

In any respect, the city of Lobit has nothing to do with this, but the goddess has sent an oracle to elevate it to a direct diocese......

Philip rubbed his temples, which were a little painful, it seemed that his wife was going to send someone to spy on him......

It's not just Philip who has a headache, in the secret box on the second floor of the Mermaid Tavern, there is a scene that is enough to make the whole Lobit City jaw drop.

As bitter enemies, Delia and Grace sat with serious faces.

"How's it going over there?"

"The voices of the people below calling for an all-out war are getting louder and louder, and I will soon be unable to suppress it, what about you?"

"I, too, my people strongly demand that you be dealt the strongest blow before you can grow with the money you have saved, lest you grow in the future. It's all you, you must go to Philip to give you a magic lamp transformation, breaking the balance we have managed to maintain. ”

Delia snorted, very dissatisfied with Grace.

The Marquis of the Blood Clan held the red wine, and looked at the ruby red liquid in her eyes, "I didn't expect to save so much money at once, as soon as they saw this money, they thought of using it for the development of blood descendants and mercenary soldiers, the shackles restricting our blood clan have been lifted, and my subordinates want to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the other three major alien races, even if I want to stop it, it is impossible." Okay, don't talk about that, what is the outcome of your discussion with the dwarves. ”

"Gary said he wanted to take a look first, what about Dennis?"

"It's also this statement, Philip said to use his charging system to charge the empty magic crystal, and then sell it, and wait for others to use up the energy in the magic crystal, and then charge the empty magic crystal, and then sell it, and so on, so that even if we finish mining the magic crystal, we can still continue to do the magic crystal business, whether this plan can work, in the end, we still have to see if Philip can make the black box bigger, you can charge multiple magic crystals at one time, if not, there is not much practicality. Grace drank the red wine from her glass, and her delicate and fair face frowned deeply, but fortunately, her eternal face did not make her worry that the frowning action would deepen the wrinkles.

The charging system that Philip showed them can only be regarded as a prototype at most, and it still needs a lot of improvement when applied in practice, for example, giving multiple magic crystals at once, which is not something that can be done by connecting the two ends of the magic crystals from the box and connecting them.

"Yes, that's our only hope for resolving the conflict. Delia took Grace's words and leaned back, revealing deep helplessness in her tone, "The balance of power has been broken, and war may break out between you and me at any time, and at that time, every race of Lobit will see the horror of the devil of war." ”

In the underground laboratory of the City Lord's Mansion, in the originally chaotic room, a mule with a thick black cloth on its eyes was pulling a stone mill to rotate.

Different from ordinary stone mills, this stone mill has a long handle, but the circle that rotates in the middle is small, and at the same time, a metal sense and a bunch of gears are connected to the bottom of the disc, after the transfer of the gears, Zuihou is connected to a square metal frame on the table, the silver-white metal hollow cylinder envelops this frame, and the two square frames extend two slender poles, and at the end of the poles there are two small rings, connected to two metal blocks.

As the mule pulled the stone mill, the metal square pulled the metal block and rotated rapidly, and the two brush-like things that touched the metal block kept emitting yellow sparks, and there were two demonic beast tendons at each end of the brush, which were connected to a transparent magic crystal.

With the passage of time, the magic crystal has gradually become turbid, and those who know how to look at it will exclaim that the magic crystal has been filled with magical energy, and someone has completed a great feat that has not been completed by many generations of magicians, and an epoch-making magic master is about to be born.

The sparks on the small rings and metal blocks grew larger and larger, and the air gradually filled the air with an unpleasant smell of metal, and suddenly, a burst of fire flashed, and the metal blocks and small rings turned into an unsightly black, and the cloudy color in the magic crystal stone did not deepen any longer.

Philip instructed Franklin to hold the mule, walked to the bench himself, and sighed, "Failed again!"
