Although the city of Lille, and even the entire Rhine League, is already undercurrent, on the surface the city is still peaceful and prosperous. The 'Hammer of the God of War' has taken root in this impetuous and luxurious city in a short period of time, and the 'Immortal Spring' has become a topic that nobles must talk about every time. The ownership of the third 'Immortal Spring' is even more eye-catching.

The 'Hammer of the God of War' will hold a secret auction of the 'Immortal Spring', and the news of the highest bidder will spread throughout the aristocratic society at an alarming speed. Once again, the charm and vitality of rumors have been demonstrated. It is said that this third 'magic ring', in addition to the miraculous effect of aphrodisiac, can greatly increase the chance of a woman becoming pregnant. In addition, there are various benefits such as rejuvenation and physical fitness. Some people swear that this ring is sealed with demonic power from the mysterious eastern world, which can enable men to absorb the essence of women's life in bed. According to another piece of information circulating from the killer organization, this ring can draw energy from the surname love and automatically add a protective shield to the owner, so the owner can rest assured that he will have fun without worrying about being assassinated.

When Rog arrives at the Hammer of the God of War, there aren't many customers, but here you can always meet some of the city's most revered people. The guests wandered around the hall in twos and threes, most of whom knew each other. When acquaintances meet among the guests, they will greet each other very elegantly. This can't be helped, the circle of the upper nobility is so small. Recently, if a nobleman or a wealthy merchant with status does not take a turn in the 'Hammer of the God of War', he will be afraid of being misunderstood as having no financial resources to shop. Of course, there are always a few giants who don't have to prove themselves in this way. However, being able to go upstairs to the 'Hammer of War' just provides a stage for these giants to show off their superior bloodlines.

'Hammer of War' releases a new product about every week, and according to the price positioning of 'Hammer of War', this new product launch is neither fast nor slow. In fact, this is already the limit of Feith. Every time a new product is released, customers who have the strength to shop at the 'Hammer of War' will flock to it, and of course 9 out of 10 people will not buy it, just to show that they have the strength to buy.

Rogge slipped quietly into the store through the back door and rubbed a few oils and water on the pretty female clerk.

Both Kate and Franco were already sitting in the small tea room on the top floor. On Fifth Avenue, where every inch of land is at a premium, this small teahouse of more than a dozen square meters is the office and conference room of several aristocratic youths. The largest room and the best orientation set aside to make a VIP reception room. The last remaining large room with a beautiful view on the third floor was used as a rest room for the old fog.

Lens is generally not visible in the early morning hours, which is also characteristic of his profession. Lens has been working hard lately, honing his skills as a thief. According to himself, he said that he was trying to get the flying dragon out of his rat hole as soon as possible, but in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that at least part of the reason was to be able to go to the heavily guarded Grand Noble Mansion to peep.

The three of them deliberated for a while, decided on the gifts they needed for the evening visit to the bishop, and went their separate ways.

The day passed quickly. The afterglow of the setting sun reflects the small garden of Bishop Gnard Hart's palace almost with a sense of prosperity. It's a pity that a few people in the study have no interest in appreciating it. Kate, Franco, and Rogge were slapping around Bishop Hart, not politely expressing their desire for Bishop Hart to introduce the three to Cardinal Burke.

Hart squinted, sedbehold, at the. It's been a long time since he's enjoyed such a perfect sycophancy. These sycophants are by no means rambling and indiscriminate flattery, what is rare is that the words are simple and unpretentious, the feelings are sincere and warm, and they are heartfelt when you hear them. When the three of them made their debut, almost every little thing that Hart had some achievements would be brought up, and they would be commented on in detail. It's hard to figure out how these three people turned over so many trivial old stories. Naturally, many of the credits that did not belong to the bishop were also attributed to Lord Hart. The bishop is broad-minded about these small omissions, and naturally does not care about them.

A heavy silk bag was fluttering in Bishop Hart's hand. Every rise and fall will make a beautiful sound of gold coins colliding. Bishop Hart's eyes were almost gone, and only when the trio's sycophants were over did he speak: "The last time I was canonized by the church, I saw that several of you will definitely contribute to spreading the glory of God in the future. Praise be to the Almighty Supreme God, who brought you to the Church of Light in the most difficult time of the Rhine diocese. I believe that you are the most faithful followers of the Most High God, and I should have introduced people like you to Cardinal Burke......!

As soon as Rog heard the bishop's "but", he immediately rummaged through his body and finally found a small bag of gems. This bag of gems was originally intended to make new magical equipment for Fez, although there were only four gems inside, but the texture was pure, and the size was large, and the value was far more than the thousand gold coins in Bishop Hart's hand.

The fat man didn't hesitate to hand over the small bag of gems. Hart smiled, opened his pocket, played with it carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "The texture of these gems is really good, it looks like they are worth at least five thousand gold coins!

Rogge smiled and said, "This is a small dedication from me to the Supreme God. As the messenger of the Most High God and the purveyor of glory, it is in your possession that these offerings should be entrusted to you!"

Bishop Hart struggled to shift his slightly bloated body in his chair and put the jewel in his pocket again. He touched his beard and said, "These gems are not ordinary goods, I'm afraid they are used as raw materials for making magic equipment, right?

When Rogge and the others heard this, their faces immediately turned red.

Bishop Hart looked at their expressions and smiled, "Don't be so nervous! a thousand gold coins is a lot of money for an old man like me. The cost of my dilapidated yard is only four hundred gold coins a year. Since you've thought about it for so long, you've come to my way, and haven't voted for Bishop Griffin or Taylor, and I can't let you down. I'll take the 1,000 gold coins, and you'd better take them back. ”

Franco thought that Bishop Hart was still posturing, and hurriedly persuaded him a few more words.

Bishop Hart twisted a few strands of his beard on his chin and said with a smile: "I have served the Supreme God for more than 30 years, and the time I have been sitting in the bishop position is not short. As for my divine power, hehe, you can also see it very clearly, it's just an eighth-level divine officer. What is the reason that Griffin and Taylor have not been able to defeat me in the past few decades? In fact, there is nothing else, that is, I am not greedy, I am self-aware, I know how big my appetite is, I just have to eat to my heart's content, and I don't think about the things that I can't eat or digest. ”

"Over the years, the old man has seen a lot of young talents, who are talented and powerful. They're all smart and they're all very ambitious. But one by one, they fell, not as long as me, a good-for-nothing old man, because they were too anxious. It's like a strong sheepdog, all the sheep are afraid of it, so he really thinks that he is extremely strong, and goes out to challenge the wolves. The old man knew how powerful he was, so he chose to stay in the flock, relying on the strength of other sheepdogs and shepherds to resist the wolves, and only now did he survive. Therefore, you must know what you can do, what you can do, and how long your hand can stretch. Always looking at and thinking about those things that do not belong to you, one day, you will forget to look at the road under your feet and walk to the cliff. ”

Bishop Hart stood up, placed the gem pouch on Rogge's hand, and said, "These gems are related to the 'Hammer of War' business, you better take them back." The 'Hammer of the God of War' is prosperous, and the old man can receive some offerings with peace of mind. As for Cardinal Burke, there is an opportunity in front of him. ”

Rogge and the others immediately stretched out their ears, for fear of missing every word.

Hart said slowly: "Archbishop Burke has had a lot of problems in the past year, so I want to order a new crown to change my mood and mood. Griffin and Bishop Taylor had already received this task half a month ago, but the old man did not dare to accept this task because there was no suitable candidate. Now that you're here, it's just the right fit. The Bishop of Berke pays a deposit of 10,000 gold coins in advance, and if the crown is chosen, then the difference will be made up. However, His Excellency Burke had lived an upright life, and I am afraid that he could not afford to be too luxurious...... Do you know what I mean?"

Everyone here is a little fritter who is about to become a master, where can they not hear the meaning of Hart's words?

"Lord Hart," Rogge asked, "I just don't know what Bishop Burke's preferences are. For example, the style, the color, and what type of gemstone do you particularly like?"

Speaking of the hobbies of Cardinal Burke, several aristocratic young men immediately came with interest, and they began to dig into the roots, eager to dig out the ** of his ancestors for several generations. The attitude towards Bishop Hart also became extremely affectionate, as if he had known each other for more than ten years, which made Hart cry and laugh, and deeply admired the cheekiness of several people.

Bishop Gnard Hart smiled and said, "I have been following Cardinal Burke for too long, and what I can come up with, Lord Burke can more or less guess. But you might be able to surprise the Cardinal and me. Come, don't be in a hurry, I'll tell you all about the life of the cardinal, and see what you can learn. Butler, butler, go prepare a supper for four!"

The visit to the Bishop's Palace was so rewarding that Rogge himself couldn't believe it. Bishop Genard Hart's deep concealment and contentment also touched Rogge deeply. In the past four years, although there have been many twists and turns, Rogge has gradually become prosperous. The constant hard reading of books and the cultivation of magic not only removed a lot of impetuousness from him, but also gave him a certain amount of self-preservation power when facing the strong.

Everything went smoothly, and a trace of arrogance quietly arose in his heart, and he felt that many people in high positions were nothing more than that. But this meeting with Bishop Hart made him break out in a cold sweat several times.

"This old guy really deceived him about his usual appearance. It seems that none of these old guys are simple! Alas, in fact, think about it, which person will easily get today's position? There will always be some outstanding points, and you must be careful in the future, you must be careful! Hmm, isn't the 'Hammer of the God of War' too ostentatious?" Rogge sighed as he rode back to his small building to rest.

In the next two days, several aristocratic youths gathered with Misty Fantasy and Firth, and spent their days pondering the thoughts of Cardinal Burke. Two days later, Bishop Hart sent 10,000 gold coins and a request for a custom crown. Bishop Hart personally sent a ruby of excellent quality, almost the size of an egg. Looking at this meaningful gem, Rogge fell into deep thought again.

After a day of hard thinking, Rogge went to the Grand Duke's Mansion to visit Opherok, and after a deep conversation, Rogge finally made up his mind.

After ten days and nights of work, the preliminarily completed crown was brought to the Grand Duke's Mansion by these nobles, and Opirok personally cast the high-level divine spell 'Holy Light Descent' to complete the magic blessing of the crown. This work is still only capable of Ophilok, as a paladin, Ophilok is able to cast sixth-order divine magic, which is also due to the fact that he was born in the Church of Light.

After the final touches of the Mist Illusion, the crown is finally complete!

St. James's Cathedral in Lille is one of the nineteen great temples of the Church of Light and the residence of Cardinal Burke. Since the cathedral is located in the city of Lille, there are only a hundred Templar knights stationed in the symbolic surname. In one of the side halls of the cathedral, Cardinal Burke closed the two extremely luxurious and exquisite boxes in his hand and sighed with satisfaction. Griffin and Taylor are shrewd and capable, young and promising, and they do things to their heart's content, far from being comparable to the old and mediocre Hart. This time, the two crowns they presented were noble and gorgeous, and the materials were extremely exquisite, and the gems set in those were worth at least 30,000 gold coins. It's a real problem to say which one you prefer. The lanky Griffin and the stout Taylor both stood by with holy faces, quietly observing Burke's face.

A Templar walked in, "Lord Burke!" Bishop Gnard Hart asks to see him!" Hart has been unpopular in recent years, and he is no longer able to meet Burke directly like Griffin and Taylor, and needs Burke's permission to meet him.

Burke was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this Hart to get the crown so quickly, and it wouldn't be a good thing, right? Thinking of this, the cardinal was a little excited. Griffin and Taylor looked at each other, their eyes seemingly sparkling in the air. Burke saw everything in his eyes and waved his hand to make them all stand back.

Gennard Hart, led by the Templars, entered the side hall. Rogge, Kate, and Franco followed, Kate holding a large, inconspicuous box in her hand. Bishop Hart stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Lord Burke, please take a look at the crown that your subordinates have entrusted to the 'Hammer of War' to prepare for you. ”

Burke was reluctant to scan the box out of the corner of his eye, but when he heard the words 'Hammer of War', he became a little interested.

Rogge stole a glance at Bishop Burke. Burke was tall and clad in a crimson robe, with a cross embroidered with Mithril thread that glittered in the candlelight, and his short hair, which stood on end, was trimmed in a very neat and proper manner. The bishop's face is resolute, and his well-groomed beard adds to his majesty.

Burke's divine power was extremely high, and when he stood in this small side hall, it seemed that a trace of holy light was radiating from his body from time to time. Rogge's heart was uneasy, and the divine aura emitted by Burke shot on his body from time to time, and it was a great pain. The fat man can't, he can only endure it. Thinking of enduring this time, it will be a sea and a wide sky in the future, and my heart is a little better.

At Hart's motion, Kate strode forward and half-bent the box in her hand. Only then did Burke feel the divine aura overflowing from the box, and his face couldn't help but change a little, so he took a step forward and opened the box, and a milky white holy light rose to the sky!

"Shhh......hh

The crown is high in front and low in the back, composed of red and gold, and the base is the fox skin of the best Demon Flame Sky Fox. The four circles of bordered gold are purple in it, and Burke is a person who knows the goods, and knows that this gold is glazed gold produced in the Far West Mountains, and it has a strong bonus effect of light magic. The entire crown is set with only various rubies. In the center of the crown was an oval ruby the size of an egg, blood-red, and a faint light kept wandering among the gems, and I don't know what kind of magic was blessed inside.

The whole crown is the most traditional style, but Burke has never seen such a perfect crown. Every line, every curved surface, every gemstone setting is so harmonious, so flawless. Through the misty hands, this crown actually shows the most thrilling beauty in the most ordinary style.

None of this, however, made Burke so out of shape. What really made Burke lose his temper was:

Papal crown!

This crown turned out to be a papal crown!

Burke's expression changed drastically, and beads of sweat rolled down. He suddenly increased his divine power sharply, and the holy light around him shone brightly, and he shouted, "What do you want to do with this thing!" Although his voice was fierce, his voice was deliberately lowered a lot.

Gnad Hart fell to his knees, and wept with tears in his eyes, "The old minister is incompetent, and he has not done anything to follow you all these years. Lord Burke has preached the gospel of the Most High God all his life, and you are the embodiment of God in this troubled world. Although the old minister is overwhelmed, he still has a little vision. These people all admire the demeanor of the Lord very much, and they are willing to follow Lord Burke together with the old ministers and spread the glory of God throughout the continent!"

Kate, Rogge, and Franco also fell to their knees.

Burke's expression changed, and the ball of holy light condensed in his hand flickered and dimmed. The field was extremely quiet, and only the sound of everyone's heartbeat could be heard.

Finally, his expression gradually softened, and the holy light on his body slowly faded. He let out a long sigh and said, "Hart, Hart, you have been cautious all your life, why are you so impulsive this time! These are the people who founded the 'Hammer of the God of War', they are really good, they are really good! They are indeed talents!"

Bishop Gnard Hart then introduced Rogge and the others to Burke. When it was Rogge's turn, Burke made a cross as usual and nodded Rog's forehead as a gesture of blessing. Rogge burst into tears. Burke was moved, but he didn't know that the fat man actually had other difficulties.

"This damn divine magic! It fucking hurts! Woo, woo, go back and get that shield up!

At the instigation of everyone, Burke slowly put on the papal crown, his hands trembling slightly.

As soon as the papal crown was raised, a holy light rose into the sky, stirring with Burke's own divine power. For a while, the chant echoed in the small side hall, and the holy light formed a white band of light, flying around Burke. All kinds of flowers appeared in the holy light, and a little angel like a child appeared from the holy light and flew around Burke before disappearing.

Burke in the hymn is majestic, like a god who has descended on earth!

Hart hurriedly presented a silver mirror, and Burke carefully examined himself in the mirror, his expression becoming more sacred and solemn.

After a few moments, the chant faded away, and the light faded away. Burke took off the papal crown, and was a little reluctant.

Kate hurriedly stepped forward and presented a rich and luxurious box, and inside was a crown, inlaid with gold and jade, which was quite tacky. Bishop Hart whispered, "Lord Burke, this crown ......" Burke nodded, signaling understanding. Bishop Hart observed what he said, led Rogge and the others to retire, leaving Burke alone to play with the papal crown.

The next day, Burke convened a synod at St. James's Cathedral, where the senior clergy of the Principality of Bavaria gathered. In addition to the clergy of the church, many secular celebrities were invited, and even Rogge and others were also invited.

The main hall of St. James's Cathedral is so magnificent that hundreds of people sit in the hall without looking crowded. Wisps of sunlight shine through the stained glass on the top of the church, reflecting the three crowns on the altar more and more brilliantly. To the sound of the choir's hymns, Burke led the crowd through prayer and repentance.

Burke then took the crown in the middle and proclaimed aloud to the clergy and secular celebrities in the hall: "This crown is henceforth the crown of the lineage of the cardinal archbishop of the Diocese of Bavaria of the Church of Light!

Taylor couldn't suppress the excitement and smugness on his face, looked at the iron-faced Bishop Griffin and the annoyed Bishop Hart, and quickly stepped forward and knelt in front of Cardinal Burke.

Burke's solemn voice seemed to come from the sky.

"The Lord says, 'Thou hast preached his glory, and he shall give thee a reward,' and thou hast praised his holy name, and he shall give thee salvation. ”

Holy water poured out of the Golden Chalice and sprinkled it on Taylor's shoulder. Taylor fell to the ground, trembling slightly with excitement. This time, he finally defeated his old rival, Bishop Griffin! Burke is very old, and as soon as he abdicates, will the position of cardinal archbishop not be in his hands?

After Taylor's resignation, Burke announced that the knights Rogge, Kate, Franco, and Lens had made important contributions to the Church of Light, and had been committed to spreading God's honor and converting to the Church; Bishop Genard Hart will go to the diocese of Salesburg to take charge of all matters of the Church of Light.

Because Kate is already a guardian knight, there is no separate reward.

The Knights Templar were the first armed force possessed by the Holy See, and their entire duty was to keep temples and churches safe. The best knights of the Templar Order are awarded the title of Knight of Radiance, and when the knight reaches a certain level of personal strength, he has the opportunity to become a Templar. The Templars were the youngest of the seven Templars in the Church, whose main duty was to command the various armed forces of the Holy See and to study the martial arts, which were based on divine vindictiveness. The Templars also held important positions in the Holy See. For example, Augustus, the 'Blood Angel', who was the head of the Templars, was the head of the Knights Templar.

In the past 20 years, as the power of the Church of Light has expanded, the estate, land, and wealth owned by the dioceses have also expanded dramatically. In order to protect the interests of the Holy See in the secular world, the Holy See began to permit the dioceses to establish a secular armed force: the Knights of the Guardian. The leader of the Guardian Order is given the title of 'Guardian Knight'. Traditionally, a place was reserved for the Guardian Knights among the Templars. Guardian Knight can be a real job or just a fictitious title.

This result was a big surprise to Rogge, who was originally just hoping to get an empty title of Guardian Knight and mix up the name of the Church of Light. Unexpectedly, Burke actually listed his territory as a diocese and authorized him to form the Holy Knights! This is a real power, far from being comparable to the false titles of a few guardian knights! Not only can he openly establish the power that actually belongs to him, but this power is still the part of the church! To confront Rogue again is equivalent to opposing the Church of Light. And to go against the Church of Light, which has 10 million believers, 50,000 Templar Knights, and countless Light ** Masters, is tantamount to asking for a dead end!

Rogge trotted all the way and finally got into this bunch!

He stole a glance at Bishop Hart, whose face was still so vulgar and ordinary. Unnoticed, Bishop Hart smiled encouragingly at Rogge.

This was followed by holy water baptism.

It still hurts. But this time, the fat man felt so fucking comfortable that it hurt!

Opherok and David sat in the first row. David was obviously surprised by this result. He turned his head and whispered to Ophilok and said, "Lord Ophilok, your subordinates are really full of talents, there are all kinds of people, and there is always something surprising about people. I really admire your ability to recognize people, and you deserve the title of 'Golden Lion'!"

Opirok smiled elegantly and replied in the same low voice: "Speaking of subordinate talents, isn't there also a lot of talent around Your Excellency David? Not to mention that several of your brothers have also inherited the pure bloodline of the Grand Duke of Rocherio, and they are all extraordinary. Speaking of which, I'm going to envy you. ”

"You have a great reputation! By the way, why didn't you see Miss Elesis?

"She is indeed a little uncomfortable today, and His Excellency David Lao is concerned. However, the car of Brother Ling and Princess Floya heard that it would be in Lille in another week. In such a short period of time, 'back and forth' has traveled so far, but it is really hard work, don't be tired. Ofirok replied unfurlimatically.

Speaking of the younger brother and the princess, I understood what was wrong with Miss Elesis. Hehe, the golden lion also has a problem that can't be solved!But don't worry, Lord Ophilok, your brother will definitely take care of the princess for you!" David did not relax.

Opirok's expression finally changed, and he replied lightly: "This world is originally very pure, but there are always some flies and mosquitoes flying around that are annoying. If I want to swatt a fly to death, I'm afraid that no one will accuse me, and even if I want to accuse, it may not stop me. ”

"Of course! No one would want to be an enemy of a paladin. Of course, you don't have the courage to do so, Lord Ofirok, you really don't need to worry!"

Opherok looked into David's eyes, and there was no anger, fear, or provocation in them, just calm and clarity.

Ophirok turned his head and said lightly: "Your Excellency David, in addition to your strong sword skills, you also have a rare talent. You're never like some people who just do boring things. You are not afraid of me, and you will not be afraid of me in the future, because you are not Brother Ling, and you will not be impulsive. ”
