Chapter 146: Retreat Cultivation

"The reliability of the number of statistics of provincial officials can also be discounted, so the number of people who are really infected with the plague may reach as many as 100,000, and it has been a long time since the plague devil has appeared so rampant on the Eden Continent, it seems that this thing is not ordinary. Fetzer said.

"Do you think it's artificial?" Gaia understood from Fetzer's words. Although pharmacists generally prepare antidotes, healing potions, and recovery potions, highly toxic potions are also what they are good at, and things like plague can also be an abnormal disaster caused by some mad pharmacists.

"I didn't say that, I just think it's unusual, it stands to reason that from the turn of winter and spring to summer, it will only take three or four months here, if it is transmitted from the southwest border of the Simon Empire, the spread speed is inevitably a little too much, is it possible that the plague also has a C-level demonic beast or more rushing speed?" Fei Ze said.

The large-scale infection of humans and animals caused by the plague is quite terrifying, and if something like this can be solved easily, Gaia and Fetzer will not sit idly by.

"It seems that this kind of thing can only be solved by your princess, and if things go well with the Himon Empire, we will also have to go southwest, and it is also appropriate to show our mercy as future gods. Fei Ze said with a smile, it was obvious that he had plans to intervene in the plague.

Gaia nodded, after getting the parchment scroll from the Simon Empire, they would go southwest, that is, in the direction of the Tolan Empire, and if they could find the source of the plague, they would also be able to contribute to humanity.

This kind of plague thing,Generally, you will ask a soothsayer who is very proficient in everything to find the root of the plague,Although Selene is a half-hung soothsayer,But erudition in this area is indeed quite qualified,Contact some local conditions should also be able to find the cause of the plague,As long as the spread of the plague is controlled,The next temple people only need to treat those who are infected with the disease......

......

Two months later, High Priest Knight and Santo returned to Zachariah on their own taming beasts, instead of using the expensive magic circle. After returning to the Rosa Temple, the one-year punishment of the High Priest Knight by Pope Fama had passed, and the High Priest could finally take charge of the Priests' Temple himself, but in the past four months or so, there were many more faces in the Priest's Temple, which had to let him find some insiders to understand the situation.

However, upon learning that the priesthood was staffed by many Bishop Pandeger, the high priest almost became angry in public, but eventually withheld it.

Mesa has now been removed from her position as chief priest, but her quiet time has been shortened to one year at Kailang's request, and although she has not yet been officially reinstated, her authority in the priesthood is still there.

After some understanding, the high priest Knight found that in the more than three months since he went to the Simon Empire, the entire priesthood hall, including the position of the chief priest, has undergone obvious changes, and the old priest who originally acted as the manager of the priesthood hall has also been dismissed due to his advanced age, and then without the knowledge of the high priest Knight, Bishop Pandeg installed a holy demon master in his thirties to replace the position of the chief priest.

The chief priest is the second in command of the priesthood, and such an important position should be decided by the high priest, but Bishop Pandege is good at arranging henchmen to the priest's hall, which makes the high priest Knight feel that the only pure land in the temple is polluted by the black-hearted bishop.

"The chief priest should have been dismissed after you returned, but I am afraid that he was under pressure, so he left in a hurry......" Although Meisa was very reluctant to participate in this kind of intrigue, she could not sit idly by and watch the priest's hall being infected by the power of Bishop Pandeger.

"It seems that we can only find Gucius, and if this temple does not have him, it will only be made into a miasma by Pandeg. The High Priest sighed. Originally, as the son of Pope Fama, Gucius was the most suitable person to serve as the bishop, but Gucius had completely lost faith in the temple and was willing to train some promising students in the Holy Academy with the great sage of Lankani.

After the High Priest left, Santo's eyes fell on Mesa, as if he had something to say to her.

Today's Meisha is not as glamorous as before, and under her indifferent and otherworldly appearance, it always feels that there is still a haggard and gloomy face.

"It's been a long time since I've talked to you, is it convenient now?" said Santo in an inquiring tone. After Santo returned to the Temple of Rosa, he was immediately taken by the high priest to envoy to the Simon Empire, so he didn't have the opportunity to chat with this great beauty, whom he had known for a long time.

Meisha nodded, but there was a trace of bitterness at the corner of her mouth, she slowly walked by Santo's side, kept a little distance from the man, and did not take the initiative to speak, maintaining a trace of calm indifference in her beautiful eyes.

"Time flies so fast, it's been six years, and in six years, you have also transformed from a girl to a mature woman......" Santo's voice was a little low, and it was impossible to tell from his expression whether he was sorry for the beautiful woman in front of him, or he was lamented by the changes in things and people.

Meisha was used to being silent on questions that others didn't ask and didn't need to answer, so when Santo said this, she just nodded slightly, indicating that she was listening.

"I saw the man named Gaia in the Diangeng Sect. Santo's words were deliberately arranged. The man seemed to be eager to use his own words to make Meisa show the emotions he could guess, and this sentence, he could say that he predicted it, or he didn't expect it.

Santo had already learned about Meisa's relationship with Gaia from the High Priest, so he believed that Meisa would definitely show some shock and excitement when he told Gaia's news, but he didn't expect that Meisa's emotions were stronger than he expected, just the appearance of that name, as if it could instantly make her eyes brighter and more emotional.

"He's been appointed bishop of the Diangeng Church...... "Santo picked out one of the most important and most disturbing messages for Mesa.

If Gaia is the bishop of the Diangeng Sect, then Mesa, the priest of the Rosa Temple, who is hostile to the Diangeng Sect, will obviously face great resistance from the two Holy Sees.

Meisha is not stupid, and she can also guess through the hearts of others, this is just a sense of self-protection of hers, at this time she already feels that this old friend who has not seen her for six years always uses some words that can make her interested to test herself, without knowing what the purpose of this man is, she doesn't want to mess up, try to suppress her urgency for Gaia's information, regulate her emotions, and keep talking to this man as he is.

If she wanted to know about Gaia, Mesa could have learned it from High Priest Knight, so he didn't want Santo, who had a purpose, to tell him about Gaia in a distorted way.

"As I just said, in six years, you have transformed from a young girl to a mature woman...... It's just that I didn't expect that a special woman like you would also have a change of heart. Santo's voice became deeper.

Mei Sa didn't refute, she bit her thin pink lip lightly, and walked with a gentle step, only a hint of confusion flashed on her face, and then returned to her original appearance.

Santo deliberately paid attention to Meisa's expression, but it didn't seem to get the effect he expected, but instead smiled lightly: "Do you think I'm praising you?"

"I have my own decision, whether you praise it or belittle it, it's just a friend's comment for me. Meisha replied.

"I'm glad you still treat me as a friend, but it's a pity that many old friends are becoming more and more estranged now, and they don't have the simple heart-to-heart and playfulness of not thinking about their position as in the past. Santo said.

Mei Sa still kept silent, in the past, the children of the family in the imperial capital could always be very harmoniously together, it may have been a wonderful childhood, but after the age of fourteen, all the children learned to wear a mask in their position and interact with others.

At this time, this Santo is also a friend that Meisha has known very well since her childhood and youth, but now she has become very distant...... At least now, in Meisha's opinion, this man is not as free and easy as before, which makes Meisha feel sorry for him.

"He's very good, he's handsome, he's tall. The eyes, in particular, are very invigorating...... What's even more rare is that he is so young, but he is not frightened, and even in the face of so many forces, he still maintains that indifferent mentality. Santo began, perhaps one of Santo's first comments about Gaia.

At that time, Santo had been observing the young man in white, whether it was the exposure of his identity, or the favor of the Pope, or the final apology of various forces, the emotions on his face had not changed much, this kind of mature and steady mentality was difficult for a young and vigorous young man of twenty years old to do, and at this point, Santo had to feel admiration.

Mei Sha gently floated the corners of her mouth and nodded indifferently. In fact, she herself was a little ignorant, and thought to herself: In addition to looking heroic in battle, the guy who is usually a little young has Santo said so amazingly, could it be that he has changed a lot in this year?

"You're going to like him, and I think I deserve it, but there's one thing I think I have to tell you......" Santo was finally about to say the point of his conversation with Mesa.

Meisha has always felt that this Santo has some purpose, obviously those previous words are all prepared for this next sentence......

......

Gaia and the others have been in Simon City for three months, and in the past three months, in addition to looking for opportunities to blend into the Simon royal family, they have entered a state of retreat and cultivation.

Under the nourishment of the source of life, Gaia has already felt that the fighting spirit and magic power are about to break through the realm of the Great Sword Master and the Great Magister, in order to be able to break through smoothly in a short time, Gaia put everything aside and entered the penance stage, for a full three months, Gaia, who has been in the training ground, is in a state of cultivation except for eating and the most basic two hours of sleep.

When Seren first tested her magical talent, she was level ten, and looking at the entire Zacharias, I am afraid that there are only a handful of people who have reached the tenth level of magical talent, and under the special effect of Norman's life magic, her cultivation speed is very fast, and more importantly, she and Gaia have found that as their cultivation improves, the obstacles brought by the lack of a contract have become negative, because in the absence of a contract, they will rarely get stuck in a bottleneck, and the entire cultivation process is extremely smooth.

Selene is dedicated to the cultivation of magic, with extremely high magical talent, no bottleneck restrictions of contracts, and the blessing of Norman's life magic, she stepped into the level of the Grand Magus earlier than Gaia in three months. You must know that at the age of less than twenty years old, stepping into the realm of the Great Magister, this entire Eden Continent has only been a handful for thousands of years.

"It seems that your teacher Mera has long known the lagging effect of the contract. Gaia was amazed by the astonishing speed of Céline's cultivation, and secretly guessed that the erudite soothsayer Mera probably didn't let Cereen sign the contract because she knew this unknown secret.

"Well, the contract was initially able to help the magician quickly improve his strength, but with the improvement of our cultivation, the auxiliary effect of the contract was insignificant at all, but it made the subsequent cultivation process always confined to a certain range, and more importantly, he did not rely on his own perception ability to communicate with the elements, and relying too much on the power of the contract led to more and more difficult cultivation in the future. Selene did some analysis.

Selene's analysis Gaia is also quite agreeable, the whole process of cultivating magic Gaia is groping by himself, although the early stage of walking is extremely difficult, but with the expansion of the magic cyclone and the long-term communication with the elements, he finds that his magic cultivation path is no longer hindered.

The cultivation of magic is more difficult to make progress in the future, but with enough talent, Gaia and Seren have not encountered the so-called magic level that cannot be broken, and to break through, it becomes a matter of time and mana hoarding.

"It's better than you, or it's going to be a burden. "Her magic skills surpassed Gaia's, and Celine was still quite excited. Gaia is a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, and if she can't compare to Gaia's magical attainments when she cultivates magic alone, it is indeed a bit too much to say.

"Well, keep it up, maybe you're the only mage who stepped into the realm of the Holy Magister before the age of twenty-five. Gaia encouraged. On the Eden Continent, it is a genius to be able to step into the saint-level realm before the age of thirty, and as for the twenty-five years old, I am afraid that there has not been one in thousands of years.

"Of course...... "Of course," Celine smiled, but soon she thought of another question, and then said to Gaia, "If you step into the realm of the Great Magister and the Great Sword Master, won't you be able to fight against a saint-level powerhouse with your own strength?"

"I'm afraid this won't work, the saint-level is a big leap, and it is very difficult to defeat a low-level saint-level powerhouse without any other S-level equipment. Gaia said. The holy level is a feng shui in the cultivation world, and Gaia may be able to deal with a great demon or a great sword master when his fighting spirit reaches the sword master and magic reaches the magic master, but when he steps into the level of the great demon master and the great sword master, it is impossible for him to leapfrog the level to challenge the holy level, because the holy level is a qualitative leap in the cultivation process.
