Chapter 184: Light and Shadow (1)

Ryan knows that priests like Red, their strength comes from devotion to the gods they believe in, which is also the only way to improve their strength, so there will be no one who can compare to his piety, in fact, as the archbishop of the Church of Light, Red should not say the same thing to Ryan just now, he can negotiate with righteousness and solemnity, or he can persuade with emotion and reason, but he must not imply at the beginning that Ryan does not need to promise himself, if it were not for the friendship that the two of them had accumulated together in the past, I am afraid that what Ryan sees today is the spokesperson of a powerful god in the world, instead of the Pastor Red who laughed a little badly.

Since Red has made such a hint, of course Ryan will not take the initiative to repair the Burning Angel Staff, so he changed his tone and talked about some old things in the past between the two people, and Red poured wine into his stomach with a very ugly eating appearance, and on the other hand, he also talked to Ryan from time to time.

After Ryan and Red finished this old conversation satisfied, Red stood up and stretched out, and then said to Ryan: "Okay, let's stop here today, I'll find a place to rest first, and then I'll go to Freya to see if she can help with this, if not, I have to count on Victor, his enchantment skills should be the most powerful of our humans, right?"

Ryan listened to Red's words that seemed to be plain and straightforward, and his heart was indeed slightly stunned, although Red's next itinerary should be almost like this, but at this occasion, he said it in a very flat tone, but it gave people a sense of hidden mystery, but Ryan couldn't understand the meaning of Red's words for a while, he dealt with a few vague words, and personally sent Red to the residence that had been arranged, only to walk out of his private library, he saw the four cardinals standing outside the door like doormen, this abnormal situation immediately aroused his vigilance, and then Ryan quietly settled Red and his party, and then returned to his private library as quickly as possible, and immediately recruited the members of the "Shadow Death".

The Shadow Death was originally founded by Ryan for Cassano's safety, and its first leader was Sophie, but after the female thief decided to stay in the underwater world, Ryan gave it to the nightingale, a knight who had abandoned her faith, to be fully trusted. Later, Ryan let Christina, who is known as Nightingale, go to the Netherworld to integrate the army, so this organization is temporarily managed by Vivian, but Vivian is just a name, because after Christina, who abandoned her faith, infiltrated the management methods of religion, this organization has developed very rapidly, and has basically become a system of its own, even if she is as Vivian, after taking over for so long, she only knows some about the internal relationships and operations of the organization.

At the same time that Ryan secretly met with several leaders of the Shadow Death Organization, in Red's rest room, the four cardinals were almost eager to ask Red about the results of the conversation with Ryan, and of course Red would not tell them the truth, but responded with the words he had wanted for a long time:" Ryan's meaning is very simple, when this Burning Angel Staff was repaired, it was already a destructive repair, although the appearance is intact but the actual effect is not as good as when my teacher Ibel had it, and now after a series of battles, it has excessively consumed the remaining strength, and has basically lost the meaning of repairing it again. ”

After saying this, Red spread out his hand and said to the cardinal standing beside him: "I asked again and again, but Ryan told me that if I had to do this, not only would it cost several times as much as the previous one, but there was no way to guarantee the effectiveness of the repair, maybe not as powerful as ordinary magic items, which was completely half the effort." At this point, if I had to insist, he would have sensed that something was wrong, so I didn't mention it again. ”

"But this does not clear Ryan's suspicions, because our people have sent back the news from the other world, he has not only created a demi-artifact for the dark elves, but also such a powerful and terrifying race as the Spirit Sucking Monster, it is because one of Ryan's artifacts suppressed the psychic power and almost wiped out the race. One of the cardinals said with some dissatisfaction, "It is impossible to repair such a broken staff, unless he has no intention of doing it!"

"Nonsense, if you ask him to make me an artifact, I'm sure Ryan might actually make it, but now what he asked him to repair for us is an artifact full of light power, as a Ryan magician, how can he have the light power that can only be used as a light believer?"

"Don't dare!" The cardinal who was reprimanded by Red hurriedly took a half step back and bowed to Red with a respectful expression to apologize, but then he straightened up and looked at Red with a determined gaze and explained: "I say this in an effort to complete the oracle sent down by the God of Light, to find a person who is not a believer in God, but who can use the power of light freely, and we must do our best to bathe him in the glory of the Holy Light." We've discussed this matter many times before, and everyone's opinion is that being able to repair such an artifact is naturally the most likely to master the power of light, so Ryan and Freya, who have repaired the Angel Staff, are the most likely two. ”

Seeing that Red's face was getting worse and worse, another cardinal standing next to him hurriedly stood up and said, "We are all working hard to complete the oracle, if there is any recklessness, please forgive the archbishop." However, just relying on Ryan's words does not prove that he will not have such power, otherwise how did he and Queen Freya repair the Staff of the Burning Angel in the first place?Of course, the friendship between you and Ryan, Archbishop Red, makes us all envious, but as devout disciples of the God of Light, the honor of the Holy Light is our highest pursuit!"

Red looked at several of his subordinates helplessly, if it was on other occasions or when it came to other things, these cardinals were completely the most fanatical power under him, and when using these hands, Red had a refreshing feeling like an arm, but once it came to the god of light, these cardinals dared to directly question every word of Red, this feeling of being a microphone in the middle made Red feel very angry in his heart, but when it came to the oracles sent down by the god of light, Red was not too blunt to suppress the claims of these cardinals, but his heart was very suspicious of the oracles that came down inexplicably this time, I think such an order is really confusing.

As the agent of the God of Light in this plane, Red should naturally do things for that god loyally, and he himself knew very well that that person was most likely to be one of Ryan or Freya, but he was very worried about what if the other party was unwilling to believe in the God of Light like himself? With the current strength of the Church of Light, it was impossible to deal with Ryan who had stepped into the realm realm, could he just do it hastily, or pray directly to let the gods come down with more power to punish Ryan's disrespect? When the time comes, the foreign enemy has not been destroyed, but mankind itself has become chaotic again, is this not a repeat of the mistakes that history has already made over and over again?

"Okay, okay, anyway, the oracle just let us find it, and it didn't set a deadline, and it didn't let us use violence, right?" Red waved his hand impatiently, and said to a few subordinates: "Let's stop here for the time being, and after we have visited Queen Freya and Master Victor, we will slowly discuss what to do next." It's getting late today, you all hurry up and give me a rest, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we will go to Demon Moon City, it's not like Cassano can be so casual, you all remember for me, the matter of the oracle is not allowed to be mentioned again, even if there are no outsiders, you can't say it, understand?"

After several cardinals left Red's room with sneering expressions on their faces, and then returned to their rooms to rest, in Lane's private library, the matter of meeting several leaders of the Shadow Death Organization had also come to an end, and several young men and women in their twenties stood in front of Lane, and each of their eyes looked at Lane with the most adoring and fanatical eyes, because under Christina's religious development, every member of the Shadow Death would swear allegiance to Lane and regard him as the only god in his heart, such an organization already had a bit of the flavor of the Church of Light or the Royal KnightsIt's just that every member of the organization walks in the shadows and darkness, and is never exposed to the sun unless it is absolutely necessary.

"That said, Vivien's reign in Cassano has once again been challenged by the old aristocracy, and the strong suppression of Cristina in the past has not been obvious, but it has become more and more intense in recent times, which is why she had to put Adra's cousin on the throne, although this method of division and co-optation does not seem to have any effect. After listening to Cassano's inside report on the changes and development in the past few years, Ryan said thoughtfully to a few subordinates: "So you are secretly fueling the trouble, allowing these unstable forces to carry out two hunting adventures that curse the swamp?"

"Yes, Mr. Lane. Several young men and women replied in unison.
