Chapter 127: The Mercy of the Gods (2)
After listening to Amelia's words behind her back, Ryan rubbed his nose and disappeared from the darkness again, he didn't actually leave just now, it was just a stealth technique that blocked their vision. Now that he has eavesdropped on the conversation between Emilia and his subordinates, Ryan finally understands the mind of this blood girl, thinking that the idea of attaching to the strong is not only the blood clan, but also often seen among humans, it is not surprising, as for whether the blood clan will rise up and enslave humans again because of this in the future, Ryan will not take it to heart at all, his own fate will naturally be in his own hands, and Ryan will not be arrogant enough to take on the great mission of protecting the fate of the entire human race.
When Ryan's form reappeared, he had already entered the building, or rather the complex. The elemental magic that the magician is good at and the light magic that the priest is proficient in are both called magic, but they are actually completely different in nature, elemental magic is the magician who relies on his own power to manipulate the free elements of the outside world and gather them together to attack, while the light magic is purely borrowed from the god of light, the former requires years of meditation, while the latter must devote himself to the belief in the gods.
Ryan is also not familiar with light magic, but he is extremely sensitive to mana fluctuations, those vigilance magic arrays arranged by the cardinals in advance as long as a little bit of mana fluctuations leak, Ryan can be keenly aware, and then quietly detour, so when Ryan came to the outside of the spire building in the center of the entire complex, not even one found his traces.
Ryan didn't use any magic, he lurked in the shadows outside the building as a normal person, observing the situation inside through the openwork window, the space inside the spire building was very large, with a statue of the god of light in the center, and seven bishops in red shawls all bowed down in front of it, expressing their firm faith in the gods they believed in, at least on the surface.
"Seven?" Ryan was slightly stunned in his heart after counting the seven cardinals in front of him again, he remembered that the intelligence only said that six cardinals had come to Seker City, but the number in front of him did not match the number on the intelligence. After only a few seconds of being in a daze, Ryan immediately understood where his doubts came from, among the seven cardinals, there was also a former cardinal Henry's assistant Ferdinand, and his location was the closest to the statue of the god of light, obviously this guy had become the head of these people.
Ryan held his breath and slowly swept his gaze over the 7 cardinals, except for this Ferdinand, the other 6 people were indeed cardinals from the Imperial Capital Church of Light, with Lane's current strength, it was naturally clear that they were not using illusion or being controlled by others, which means that these guys fell to Senate purely for the sake of power, and split with the Imperial Capital Church of Light.
Ryan shook his head slightly, his heart was full of contempt for these cardinals, fighting for power to the point of ignoring the life and death of human beings, and they still knelt in front of the statue of the god of light and prayed?
"Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow is the ceremony of crowning Senat, according to the results of His Majesty Senate's consultation with us, all seven of us will be promoted to archbishops, and take turns to take charge of the New Light Church, and when any of us can skillfully control this artifact, he will be the future Pope. After praying, Ferdinand spoke to the other six cardinals: "As the first cardinal to support His Majesty Senate, I will naturally preside over the coronation ceremony tomorrow, do you have no opinion?"
After listening to Ferdinand's words, the faces of the other 6 cardinals were different, either disdainful, jealous, or hateful, and there was absolutely no expression of approval, but it was a pity that these 6 cardinals had their own thoughts and could not unite to deal with Ferdinand, otherwise with this former henry's henchman, how could they be qualified to be on an equal footing with these real cardinals, and even suppress them?
Ferdinand sneered at the 6 cardinals in front of him, he also looked down on these guys, although he was just an ordinary priest when he was in the imperial capital, but now after the establishment of the Bright Church in Seke City, everyone is a member of this new church, and there is no longer the so-called seniority problem before, and after the coronation ceremony tomorrow, with his Ferdinand's means, he can definitely play these guys in the palm of his hand, and the new pope, who else can take on it besides him Ferdinand? It seems worth it to think that he grovelled by Henry's side, dedicating the best years of a person to that bullshit god, and finally got the power he has today.
Looking at the intrigue of these so-called god messengers in the building, Ryan suddenly had an impulse, he wanted to directly send these damn guys to the arms of the god of the underworld with a forbidden spell, and save them from staying in this world to waste food, but this thought only turned in Ryan's heart, after all, the purpose of his coming today was not these corpse vegetarian guys, but the "mercy of the gods" crown placed under the statue of the god of light.
Ryan's gaze quickly fell on the crown, feeling the light power faintly emanating from this artifact, the corners of Ryan's mouth turned up slightly, and his eyes seemed to see that he and Freya finally overcame all the problems and successfully helped Red repair the artifact "Burning Angel Staff", with this artifact that also came from the hand of the God of Light, I believe that he will soon be able to understand how the power of light works, and the fluctuations they emit......
"Wait, this fluctuation is not right!" Ryan was suddenly shocked in his heart, because he suddenly sensed a little bit of something wrong from the "Mercy of the Gods" artifact, if Ryan was not a legendary mage, and had not studied the subject of "energy conversion" with Freya, his subtle understanding of mana fluctuations was not so profound, Ryan would never have noticed this problem.
"This crown, the power emitted by this crown is not pure light power!" Ryan clenched his fists suddenly, he had already discovered what was wrong with the whole thing, the power emitted by that artifact was indeed very similar to the power of light, but Ryan was vaguely aware that this power was not the real power of light, but used a means similar to energy conversion to transform other powers.
"What people!" Ryan's movement was small, but it still alarmed the entire 7 cardinals in the building, Ryan's mind changed very quickly, he knew that his whereabouts had been exposed, if he went to believe that there was really no one here to leave him, but this would also inevitably reveal Ryan's true identity, so he gritted his teeth, and almost instantly put on the cloak with the crest of the Mokkawi family.
"Bang!" Ryan, who used simulacrum to simulate himself as the middle-aged bodyguard next to Amilia, directly smashed his body into the hollow window and rushed into the building, and then Ryan waved his arms and quickly moved his body to learn the fighting style of the Blood Clan, while a cold laugh came out of his mouth.
"Damn it, you should have hurt my descendants!" Lane remembered that Rocheld's account of how he had discovered the cardinals' location, so he pretended to be a master of the Bloods who had come to take revenge, and attacked the seven cardinals without hesitation. As a magician, Ryan naturally can't really use his body to fight like the Bloodline, but he has adopted an opportunistic method, that is, to use teleportation magic to confuse the other party, so that they think that he is an extremely fast Bloodline master, with Lane's terrifying magic control ability, he can naturally shuttle between the 7 bishop protagonists like a fish in water without worrying that they can hurt themselves.
"Damn, where did this blood clan master come from? I'm afraid this strength has reached the top of the earl!" Ferdinand blessed himself with a bunch of light magic, while retreating and muttering in his heart, he naturally knew very well that Senat was not just trying to win them over these light believers, but there were also blood clans and undead legions in this Seke City, but Ferdinand was bent on power, and thought that his light magic was the nemesis of these evil creatures, so he didn't care about them very much, who knew that when a few descendants of the blood clan ran to the vicinity during the day to probe their brains and were killed by him with the help of the power of the artifact, there were blood masters who came to the door tonight to take revenge。
"Let a few of you go with him, and it's better if you all die, so that I can end up easily. Ferdinand slowly moved his body to the corner, and put on a posture of not messing with me, I won't stop you. In addition to Ferdinand, the other 6 cardinals are also thinking about this, who wants to fight with a blood clan master whose strength has reached the top of the earl, which is equivalent to the level of a human magister?
Ryan sighed in his heart, if the 7 cardinals in front of him can work together, they can definitely force Ryan to reveal his true identity, but unfortunately everyone is afraid of the enemy one by one, and they actually sit back and watch Ryan break them all, if Ryan is really a blood master, as long as he is willing to pay enough price tonight, he can definitely kill these 7 cardinals in one fell swoop, and hundreds of years ago, when the power of the Church of Light was at its peak, one cardinal was enough to easily kill several blood warriors who reached the top strength of the earl.
