Ten days later.

St. Peter's Cathedral was crowded with people, and the solemn prayer hall was crowded. After the music, the noisy atmosphere suddenly quieted down, and Arthur was holding a coronation ceremony.

Crown and others reached a private agreement with the royal family. They supported Arthur as pope and obtained certain autonomy from the five northernmost dioceses of the kingdom.

Except for the Holy See, if other areas are attacked, they may not send troops, or they may send troops for a fee.

In addition, the various secret methods of the Holy See are still open to them. Only when they no longer hold the office of archbishop or pass away can the Holy See send new archbishops.

The new statue of the Lord of Flame is almost the same as the original statue. He lowers his eyes and looks compassionately at the bustling crowd in the hall.

Arthur knelt down facing the statue, raised the holy crown with both hands and placed it on his head. Then he stood up and turned around, raising the scepter in his hand:

"In the presence of the Lord of Fire, I, Arthur Saxon, succeed as Pope."

There was a wave of applause that lasted for a long time. After hundreds of years, the position of the Pope was once again returned to the hands of the royal family. For many people, this event is of great significance.

With a kind smile on his face, Arthur waved to everyone. The ruby ​​on the top of the scepter bloomed with a strong flame light, and the scepter was like a torch.

Behind him, a ball of orange-red flame burst out from the right hand of the icon, and the statue's face suddenly brightened, as if celebrating the pope's coronation.

"King Arthur, Pope!"

"King Arthur, Pope!"

Under the leadership of the arranged nursery, the crowd cheered louder and louder.

Arthur placed his hand on the flame Bible and said in a solemn voice:

"Half a month ago, the Holy See was attacked by cultists. Pope Osman Druk led his troops to fight hard and shed blood on the battlefield. I will definitely inherit his legacy, hold high the torch of our Lord Hephaestus, and keep the divine fire alive. Don’t hesitate to ignite yourself”

Sometimes it is like this. It is obviously a cancer, but it has to be covered up. Otherwise, if the news that the pope rebelled and took the lead in massacre of the congregation spreads, it will greatly affect the prestige of the church.

The sacred and lengthy swearing-in period finally passed, the Pope began to give Holy Communion, and it was already evening when the succession finally came to an end.

In the church's meeting hall, bright lights illuminated the night like day. Arthur raised a goblet filled with amber wine, with a spring breeze on his face:

"In the future, I will need your full help. The prosperity of the church and the kingdom requires the joint efforts of everyone.

May we be bathed in the glory of God, may the Holy Light give us the courage and strength to face evil, and may the God of Fire illuminate our way forward.

Everyone, please drink this cup to the full. "

In the meeting hall, all the silver-ranked people from Faruk Kingdom were present. There were four people from the Saxon family, plus five people from Croun. They drank and drank together happily for a while.

After a while, Flanders stood up and said:

"I have been away from the diocese for many days. Now that the matter has been settled, I will bid farewell to His Majesty tomorrow."

Arthur nodded slightly:

"The situation in the northern diocese is not stable either. Your return can calm people's hearts, so I won't keep you any longer.

Tomorrow morning, I will prepare transfer orders for everyone, and those who are useful and handy can take them with them. "

Leo took out the paper he had already written and handed it over:

"Even if Your Majesty doesn't mention this matter, we still need to request a transfer order for these old subordinates who have been following us for many years."

If these confidants had not left with them, they would not have been reused by the new bishop, so they would have simply packed up the original team and taken them away.

Doing this can also reassure the king and save the other party from having to screen.

Arthur's smile became gentler and he said with a smile:

"The best thing is that you can start working quickly when you arrive in a new diocese."

His eyes moved elsewhere and his tone became gentler:

"Sir Crown, I still want to ask you to serve as a cardinal archbishop. As the strongest person in the church, your position is just that of an ordinary bishop. This is a waste of talent."

His tone was sincere. Without Crown's cooperation, he would still have a long way to go before he could become the Pope.

With such a subordinate who is not attached to power, of course he wants to reuse him.

Crown waved his hand gently and declined:

"Your Majesty, I just want to stay quietly and spend more time improving my strength as quickly as possible.

Being an archbishop would inevitably distract one's energy. If one day we face the evil god, the power we have is our greatest reliance, nothing else. "

Arthur shook his head slightly and sighed:

"Only someone as pure and undistracted as your Excellency can walk so fast on the path of transcendence."

He secretly regretted in his heart that the other party was only a Crusader warrior, and his future journey would only reach the sixth level at most, and it was almost impossible to reach the golden level of Stigmata.

Crusader warriors are only knight-type professions, and many priests' methods cannot be learned. However, cultivating holy power makes it easier to ascend to the throne of God.

Throughout the continent's several eras, there are only two knight-like professions that have achieved stigmata, namely Tyr, the god of war, and Ural, the god of hunting. However, both of these gods died in the last holy war.

It is an extremely difficult path for a knight-type profession to become a god, but once they achieve Stigmata Gold, they are extremely powerful beings at the same level.

The corners of Kroun's mouth turned up, showing a polite smile. His family knew his own affairs, and he could persevere because he could see results in every effort.

The waiter brought a tray covered with green velvet and presented it to Prince Lexis.

The prince took the tray, walked up to a few people, and removed the velvet cloth covering it:

"It was all thanks to you that the rebellion in the Holy See was quelled. Your Majesty has specially opened the secret treasury and prepared a gift for you."

The obstruction was removed, revealing the rune crystal bottle inside. The green in the bottle was full of vitality.

Arthur smiled: "A little kindness, don't shirk it. There are a total of twelve bottles of water of life. Each person can take two bottles. Mr. Crown, please take four bottles."

If others are so cooperative, of course he has to show some sincerity and reciprocate.

‘Does the church still have secret treasuries that were ruined by the Ottomans? Or are there some more secret vaults that only the Saxon family knows about? ’

The thoughts in Crown's mind were spinning very fast. He didn't think that these gifts were taken from the secret treasury that Osman knew.

He took out his share and put it into the space ring, and others also took away their share.

Everyone talked for a while and exchanged views on how to handle relations between countries.

Finally, Crown and others said goodbye and left, leaving only the Saxon family in the meeting hall.

Lerol said: "We cannot allow the five northern dioceses to have autonomy for too long. If we wait for a favorable opportunity, we should bring these dioceses under the absolute jurisdiction of the church as soon as possible."

Arthur's eyes were lowered. He looked at the wine in the glass quietly, watching the blurred light and shadow of the wine rippling under the bright light, and shook his head slightly:

"It's too early to say this now. The church's strength has suffered heavy losses due to the turmoil in the Holy See. Not counting the troops of the family and the kingdom, the Holy See no longer has the ability to organize an elite force.

In the northern diocese, Rhine City faces two main threats, the evil god Haka in the Andes Mountains, and Cthulhu in the town of Lorent at the mouth of the sea. Even if we take back control of the diocese, can we be better than Flanders in such a situation? do better? "

"I've looked through the files. The reason why the Rhine City Diocese was able to block these two evil gods was mostly due to Crown, and Flanders just took advantage of it."

Lexis said: "But, there is no doubt that Crown supports Flanders.

If we were in power, he might not be willing to contribute so much.

I think my brother's arrangement is very good. If the situation in the north can be stabilized, we can have multiple escape routes. "

Arthur nodded: "Crown has a saying that is right, the most reliable thing is the power we have.

If there are several fifth-level transcendents in the family, how can these archbishops be qualified to bargain with us? "

Amidst the roar, the airship slowly took off and sailed away from Bly City.

The airships originally parked in Bly City were deliberately destroyed. They were airships sent by the royal family to escort Crown and others back to their respective parishes.

Except for Flanders, the area under his control has not changed, and the other three archbishops have to go to unfamiliar dioceses to take up their posts.

In the room, Croun and Flanders were meditating on the golden light spell. The gold and silver colors were flowing, as if the sun was rising, the moon was setting, and everything was growing.

Under the guidance of Crown, Flanders visualized extremely smoothly.

After feeling the flight time of the airship, Crown stopped his visualization and summoned the golden wall.

[Golden Light Spell: 171730/300000; Level 4]

The golden light spell has steadily improved, and he is one step closer to obtaining the Tao seed again.

Whenever he thinks that his proficiency can increase automatically, he always smiles involuntarily.

The level of proficiency required to upgrade the Golden Light Curse to the first level is too much, but the existence of Dao Zhong has not slowed down his improvement speed, but has a tendency to become faster. He loves Dao Zhong as a "hang-in".

Flanders felt that the visualization was no longer so smooth and silky. Knowing that Croun had stopped, he also ended the visualization, opened his eyes, and said:

"I think Ivan and the others are worthy of training. If they obtain the Golden Light Dao Seed, their strength will definitely grow as fast as mine."

Whoever uses the Golden Light Dao Seed knows the effect! It is equivalent to adding a powerful secret technique to increase the source of life. The stronger the source, the greater the possibility of advancement.

He originally didn't have much hope in advancing to the fifth level, but now he feels that he might be able to compete with a sixth-level transcendent. By then, he will be able to become a being at the same level as his family ancestors. That feeling of elation and elation, It must be very sour and refreshing.

Crown smiled slightly: "Do you think Drago is also qualified to obtain a Tao seed?"

Not long ago, the relationship between Drago and them was not harmonious. As die-hard loyalists of the Pope's family, their relationship could be described as acquaintances at best.

Flanders nodded without hesitation: "All those who are willing to help resist the evil god are our allies. Drago can achieve the silver rank, and his own abilities are worthy of recognition."

In his eyes, the evil god is the ultimate enemy, and the conflicts within human beings can be temporarily put aside.

"It will take time to get new Tao seeds. After a few days, you can give them a hint and see if they have any intention in this regard."

Of course, Kroun is willing to give Tao seeds to people with stronger strength, in which case he will get more benefits.

The next time he gets a Tao seed, Elisa will take up a spot. He originally reserved it for her, but Cavendi's death interrupted his plan.

The holder of the Tao Seed died and the Tao Seed disappeared. He tried to condense the Tao Seed again, but found that it could not be condensed.

This incident reminded him that Taoist seeds are best given to those who do not need to fight on the front line.

Flanders laughed "haha" and said:

"There is no need to imply that Taoism can once again strengthen their life source, which is a real benefit.

I bet that no Silver level transcendent can refuse such a temptation.

When they got the news, their only dissatisfaction was that they could not get such a gift right away. "

He stopped laughing and said seriously:

"When can you obtain Tao seeds again?"

Crown calculated the time and replied:

"As short as half a month, as long as one and a half months."

If he goes to a neighboring country to purify the alienated area, his proficiency will increase quickly. Otherwise, he will need to grind it slowly.

In fact, his speed is already very fast now, but people are greedy and want to go faster.

"The airship will land in Rhine City soon. I will talk to them before leaving."

After feeling the vibration when the airship landed, Croun and the others walked out of the room. He saw Ivan and the others waiting outside the door.

Leo took a step forward, bowed deeply, raised the two bottles of water of life above his head, and said:

"Your Excellency saved Drago and I, these two bottles of water of life are just a thank you gift."

Crown didn't reach out to take it immediately: "It's a bit expensive."

Besides, he only used a bottle of water of life when treating the two of them. If he sold the extra water of life, he could get at least a thousand gold spiritual coins.

Drago advised: "Take it, Your Excellency! If you don't accept it, we don't know how to thank you."

Seeing this scene, Flanders also persuaded Crown to accept it.

Crown couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it. He really felt that it would be better to put the water of life on these people. If they encountered any danger and were injured, the water of life would at least be able to hang their lives.

After accepting the thank you gift, Crown said:

"Everyone, I'll go ahead and see you later."

He wants to return to Hammers City as soon as possible, where there is still a lot of work to be done.

The soul-forging weapons of Levigaz and the other two people have not been forged yet. He wants to ask Nick if he has found a vein of cold jade.

If a mineral vein is discovered, he can build a special castle based on the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array.

"Goodbye."

Amid everyone's farewells, Crown spread out his rose-gold wings behind him, then flew into the sky and quickly disappeared into the clouds on the horizon.

Flanders took over the topic and said:

“Old friends, I have something to announce.

One is that Lord Croun will not hold a wedding in the future, and the other is that Croun has a mysterious power that can condense the power of blood into a seed."
