Throne of Magical Arcana

Octave opened his mouth and was about to speak, when soft holy lights in his body suddenly lit up, swallowing his whole body including his soul.

When the light clusters turned into specks of light and disappeared, all traces of Octave's previous presence here were erased, just like the previous captain of the night watchman Lund.

"What on earth is this?" Richard frowned tightly, watching Octave's death but unable to stop it.

Lucien put his hands in the pockets of the long black windbreaker, and said solemnly: "The 'angel descending' on them is not only a 'gift' to enhance their strength in a short period of time, but also an irreversible 'poison' at critical moments. This should be for defense They were caught by the enemy and tortured to reveal their secrets."

After knocking Octave out with a punch with his left hand, Lucien didn't feel anything wrong, but on the other side, the battle where Afris teased Lund changed. Lund suddenly got the power of "angel descended", Gained the upper hand in an instant. If it wasn't for Lucien's quick end and timely help, Lund might have escaped, but even so, he failed to catch Lund in the end. devour.

Therefore, Lucien did not attempt to move and awaken Octave, and brought him back to Allinge for slow interrogation, but directly took advantage of the opportunity when the "angel power" was temporarily suppressed by the mysterious presence of Silver Moon and the Necromancer Realm. , Obtain information through dream casting, otherwise, Lucien would prefer to ask "Cursed Eye" Atlante or "Nightmare King" Stannis for help.

Richard shook his head somewhat unacceptably: "How could the Lord's beloved use such a method on the Lord's servant?"

This is exactly the same as what the devil and demons do to their worshipers, and it can't be lifted even by himself, an eighth-level cardinal. Obviously, it is not something ordinary angels can do-the pure holy light just now made him There is no doubt about the source of the strength.

"Angels are just God's favorites and messengers, but they don't necessarily represent God. Just like the fallen Pope in Octave's mouth, they can use the God's Descent technique. This may be the test of the God of Truth." Lucien took advantage of the opportunity Richard was a bit confused by chance, deliberately confused the logic, and continued to guide him to think in the direction he wanted.

Richard looked at the ground where Octave disappeared with those blue eyes most common in the Kingdom of Holm, and muttered to himself: "Is that 'prophet' really the 'king of angels' descending? Can it really be?" Complete the Reformation through the Pope and the College of Cardinals?"

"At least from Octave's subconscious mind, he believed through certain things that the 'King of Angels' is indeed coming." Lucien was a little confused about this, and at first he heard Octave say in a dream: " When I called him the "Great Prophet", I thought that my old friend "Lord of Hell" appeared again, and I was more sure of his relationship with Sard, but Octave's unquestionable attitude towards the prophet made Lucy En has a question, at least the Lord of Hell himself cannot directly steal the power of the God of Truth, but must go through high-level devout believers.

Then the "King of Angels", the legendary God of Heaven Mountain who is second only to the God of Truth and has a record of descending, may only have the strength of the legendary peak, which is one level behind the Lord of Hell, but he will not be directly deceived by him .

Perhaps, the Great Prophet is just a puppet pushed by the Lord of Hell, or there are other planners, such as Sard?

While thinking about these things, Lucien continued: "Also, Bishop Richard, your religious reform program advocates returning the right to interpret the Holy Scriptures to devout believers, so why must you rely on the Pope and Cardinals?" What about the group's top-down reform? You should mobilize the believers, rely on the believers, and use their ocean-like power to smash down all the obstacles that block the passage of belief. This may be the purpose of the test of the God of Truth, and this may be why He does not stop it. The cause of the North-South division of the Church."

Richard turned his head and stared blankly at Lucien. He had never thought about the reason why the church was split between the north and the south but could obtain divine magic from this angle. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "The Pope, the College of Cardinals Mastering the extraordinary power bestowed by the Lord, relying solely on believers who have no power, relying solely on the middle and lower clergy, the reform will have no effect, unless the Lord can take back the magic from them and give each believer strength."

"Bishop Richard, your definition of believers is too narrow. Are nobles believers? Are sky knights, golden knights, and epic knights believers? As long as your reforms can meet their desire to communicate directly with the Lord's heart, you can launch With them, plus a small number of sober members of the College of Cardinals, you may not be able to experiment with your reform program on a small scale." Lucien didn't speak too thoroughly, but just nodded a little, "When the time comes, You are a unique saint and radiant person in the history of the church, and you may be favored by the God of truth and become His true spokesperson on earth."

Lucien himself has no belief in gods, so naturally he cannot understand a pious bishop like Richard, so he habitually seduces him with power, fame and fortune, and his position on Mount Paradise after death. In Lucien's view, there is no benefit Driven by various aspects, Richard's idea of ​​reform is difficult to stick to.

After hearing Lucien's words, Richard's cloudy blue eyes lit up suddenly: "Yes, relying on the believers and mobilizing the believers, they are the basis for the existence of Heavenly Mountain, and they are the objects of the Lord's true favor!"

Lucien couldn't help wiping off his "cold sweat". His half-heartedness was mixed with too many other things, and he couldn't imagine what Richard's final program and roadmap for religious reform would look like.

There was no further delay, fearing that the fall of Octave and Lund would arouse the "Great Prophet"'s vigilance, Lucien and Afris let Richard fully activate the magic circle and left the "Church of Salvation".

Afris walked beside Lucien inexplicably in grief, his translucent amber eyes were full of sadness, and he kept muttering: "My spoils, my spoils..."

Lund was swallowed by the holy light, leaving nothing behind. Most of the valuables on Octave were destroyed by Lucien's "order of elements", so Aferris didn't get any treasure.

Lucien patted it with a smile: "I will keep the scroll of 'Ultimate Orb of Destruction', and the remaining items of Octave belong to you."

As soon as Afris moved his ears, he immediately turned around and threw himself at Lucien's side. He stuck out his tongue and licked his hand affectionately: "Boss, sign me for another hundred years!"

Where can I find such a generous partner who is rich in wealth and often wins prizes for his published papers?

Alfres wanted to lock Lucien in his own home, urging him to write papers every day!

Lucien was dumbfounded by the shameless crystal dragon. After throwing those items to it, he quickly withdrew his hand.

Afris opened the storage bag that Lucien temporarily used to hold these items, poured the treasure into his palm with shining eyes, and licked each piece with his tongue, as if he could leave his own brand in this way .

After licking it, Afris counted the treasures brightly, and asked flatteringly, "Lucien, I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of dreams?"

"It's under study, but a lot of it just now is far-fetched." Lucien said indifferently.

Afris gave Lucien a strange look: "Aren't you afraid of drawing wrong conclusions?"

"There are no problems with a few key points. Octave is so impressed by this. The reaction can be analyzed in the dream without any skill. As for the others, if he is wrong, he is wrong. His psychological state is different from mine. What's the matter? Am I still responsible for his mental health?" Lucien said with a chuckle.

Afres didn't pay any attention to this question, and continued to count the lovely treasures, angrily said: "Lucien, they actually said that I am your magic pet, it's too much, we are obviously partners!"

"Yes, partner." Lucien replied casually.

Afris thought for a while, and asked curiously: "For magicians, is magic pet more important? I think there are magic pets except for a few wizards."

It only learns the theories that it is "interested in", and has no idea at all about the "magic pet" that may share its treasure.

"Well, the magic pet is an extension of the magician's body, it is the magician's eyes and ears..." Lucien roughly talked about the role of the magician.

While talking, Afris didn't speak anymore, Lucien looked at it strangely, and saw that it was looking at him with bright eyes.

Alfres rushed to Lucien's side and licked his left hand affectionately:

"Boss, accept me as a magic pet!"

…………

After finally getting rid of Afris, Lucien returned to his magic tower and activated the communication with Natasha.

"...When Richard sorts out his thoughts, I will summon him and talk to him. If it is really in the interests of us and the nobles, I will propose to Sard and let him become the royal archbishop." Hearing Lucien's voice, Natasha was in a good mood, but she did not make a rash decision.

After probing Sard's reaction, almost everyone who should know knew that she and Lucien still maintained a "friend relationship", so Natasha was not afraid to communicate with Allinger, but just wanted to control the frequency.

Lucien also felt amused by this. Some time ago, he had to go to Holm Royal Magic Tower carefully, but he didn't expect the change to be so much faster than planned.

"Royal archbishop?" Lucien didn't quite understand this position.

Natasha smiled and explained: "The archbishop who is in charge of guiding the religious issues within the royal family, the royal castle and the private churches inside the manor are all under his jurisdiction, but the grandfather has been in poor health for a long time, relying on the treatment of the priest of the Holy Spirit, the royal archbishop It is held concurrently by the diocesan cardinal, but in fact, they can be separated, and I have a certain right to speak about the candidate for this position."

Lucien immediately understood that this should be the position set up by the church to control the royal family before the magic council could compete with the church, but it was unexpectedly being used by Natasha now.

"Natasha, do you have any idea now, what direction do you want the situation in the Kingdom of Holm to develop, so that I can cooperate with the council?" Lucien asked softly.

Natasha snorted: "It's better to talk about this issue in person, Lucien, I will always think of you when I see the moonlight these days."

She expresses her feelings boldly and directly.

Lucien was speechless while being happy, sweet and indulgent. Isn't this what a man should say?
