Chapter 5: Alfonso's Letter

"You're going to advance gold?"

Joshua raised an eyebrow, he grasped the gist of the matter. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

No matter when and where, the bishop of the Church of the Seven Gods must be gold-level, or he must be able to break through to the pinnacle of gold and silver, there has been no exception for so many years, and the person in front of him just meets the conditions.

"That's true, actually, I found a sense of breakthrough just as you were about to set out to aid the fortress."

Atanis did not hide his strength, he condensed the blazing white holy light in his hand, turning into a warm ball of light, and the heat wave rolled in, as if it could burn out the river.

The white-haired priest stared at the light in his palm, and the emotions in his eyes were very complicated: "Over the years, I have fought with orcs, fought with white dragons, fought with deep diving fishmen - even if it is the abyss, I have been there with the archbishop once......"

After being silent for a while, his hand was clenched, and he extinguished the ball of light in his hand, and Atanis sighed with emotion: "The fierce battle has not made my belief more pure, but it has quietly led the apprentice in the church for so many years, allowing me to see my soul clearly." ”

"When the heart is calm, the heart is quiet, and the heart is quiet...... The fire of wisdom is the source of strength, and within a few months, I will begin to transform my transcendent body and advance to gold. ”

It was the path of wisdom.

"Regardless, stepping into the transcendent realm is a new beginning, congratulations."

Secretly said in his heart, although the other party chose a different path from his own, Joshua still congratulated him heartily, and teased: "It seems that my territory is also going to have a golden priest, I don't know how many people will be jealous." ”

"It's not as good as you."

Shaking his head and smiling, the white-haired priest straightened his wooden-framed glasses: "Let's not mention that I, the bishop, don't have half of my subordinates, all of them are all taken away by the Holy Mountain, and at present, I am completely the commander of the light pole, Joshua, you entered the golden realm before the age of twenty-five, but you are even more ...... than the monster I imagined."

"You're the ......"

The two suddenly began to praise each other without shame.

Chatting with Atanis, the warrior felt very relaxed, but as he was touting each other, he was thinking about something else at the same time.

――What are you doing now?

Far away in the sacred mountain of the deep sea, the base camp of the Church of the Seven Gods, one of the five largest forces in the world, this headquarters is located on a remote island in the far sea is almost isolated from the world, but even so, as the only strongest holy place in the world that can cultivate paladins, holy warriors and priests in batches, the world also clearly knows the prestige of the holy mountain, the good are admired, and the evil are feared from the heart.

In their previous lives, they were extremely active, not only suppressing all kinds of deep-sea beasts, educating thousands of natives in the four seas and thousands of islands, but also helping the Far Southern Kingdom to deter and calm the dragon calamity, and assisting Xishan to launch a sacred crusade against the cultists of evil gods. Moreover, the Holy Mountain was also the first force in the previous life to send an expedition to the Abyss Demon to send an expeditionary holy army, and because of this, Joshua knew a lot about this extremely dynamic force.

But even he didn't know why the Holy Mountain would recall most of his priesthood in the Northlands at this time in late Starfall 831 - at least not in the Far South.

"Is it because of the dragon plague that is coming?"

As a prophetic traveler, Joshua quickly found a possibility.

Indeed, judging from the previous space-time gate incident, there must be chaos believers in the far south and near the sea, and the abyss demon dragon in the depths of the ocean should have already been corrupted, plus maybe the five-colored dragon god who has begun to lean towards the chaos side, the holy mountain that was originally in the far sea really needs to gather all its essence to deal with the next big event - that is, a world-class epic event, the opening of the second edition of the continent of discord, [the dragon god falls, the dragon disaster rises].

As the center of the incident, the clergy in the Far South did not need to be recalled, but instead needed to send a large group of reinforcements.

Thinking of this, Joshua's gaze couldn't help but fall on the cabinet that Atanis had locked before, the translucent rune plate made of spiral crystals.

"Being able to freely convert the type of holy light is indeed a strategic-level material, judging from the old priest's cautious actions, it seems that there are not many churches of the seven gods, no wonder I haven't heard much of this strange equipment in my previous life, it seems that this kind of thing should be in the hands of the archbishops, or in the center of the divine magic circle of the Holy Land."

Clenching his left fist again, the warrior felt that the muscles and bones of his left arm had indeed improved a lot, and Atanis's magic was indeed effective - of course, it was a bit unscrupulous for a priest of the Divine Punishment Society to heal the divine art so powerfully.

Generally speaking, clergy who use the Light will distinguish each other by the gods they believe in, and generally determine their belonging by the type of Light they have.

For example, Atanis, because his awakened holy light is the most lethal [Heavenly Blazing Holy Light], so he became the divine punishment priest of the Divine Punishment Society, if it weren't for the spiral crystal rune disk transformation, let alone treating Joshua, even if the old priest's healing divine attainment reached its peak, as long as his holy light shines, then there will definitely be one more hole in the warrior's hand.

Generally speaking, ordinary paladins and priests use the most basic [healing holy light], which is the power specially used to heal wounds, although the direct lethality is not high, but the victory is very strong in the blessing of themselves, a paladin and priest who has filled themselves with a positive state can easily hold a giant shield war hammer and dragon beasts hand-to-hand combat, and under the shroud of holy light, general magic is basically ineffective against them, it can be called a battlefield meat grinder.

And the gray knight and the inquisitor use,It's a relatively rare [Judgment Holy Light], this is a faction power, and the user's talent and heart are very high, and the effect of the Judgment Holy Light is the same as the power of order in the Azure Orb, it is extremely effective against the monsters on the chaos side, the gray light spreads, and there are no monsters alive in the place where it passes.

"It's almost gone."

Time passed, Joshua stopped the topic, he nodded, and said to Atanis: "Now that I have just come back, the middle-aged man in the Lord's Mansion must have a lot of things to do, and when I have the opportunity, we will talk about it next time." ”

"No problem, I wish you all the best."

Bending down slightly, the old priest did not forget to remind: "Remember to come back next week, your injuries need to be reviewed." After saying that, he quipped again: "Don't forget to pay the bill, my lord, the magic equipment and the Holy Light saved by the church all cost money." ”

"Naturally, I won't forget."

Turning around, he looked into the corner of the ashram, where two of Atanis' apprentices were now sitting on the sidelines, meditating and recovering with their eyes closed.

Although they were at the same level as their own mentors, the silver mid-level and the pinnacle that was about to break through the gold were completely incomparable, and the old priest still had the energy to talk and laugh with Joshua after a long period of treatment, but they were just supporting, and they were about to be exhausted.

On the chair next to the two apprentices is Hotaru......

"Huh?"

In the blink of an eye, Joshua looked at his divine machine with some surprise - in front of him, the silver-haired girl sat in a mahogany seat, her hands clasped to her chest, and her little head resting on a cupboard. Her long hair was falling, her eyes were closed, her breathing was steady, and she was asleep.

"I'm asleep...... Strange, doesn't it say that the god machine doesn't need to eat and sleep? ”

Smiled and shook his head, the warrior will not care too much about this aspect, although it is said that it is not necessary, but it is not that it will not be said, Hotaru drank tea and ate with him last time, and he didn't see anything wrong, so many days of fighting, plus the rush all the way back, she was a little tired, and it was natural for her to fall asleep as soon as she relaxed.

Looking at the silver-haired girl's sleeping face, Joshua touched Hotaru's little head with his hand, and he couldn't bear to wake her up now, but it seemed that he sensed that someone was touching him, so Hotaru immediately opened his eyes and woke up from a light dream.

"How ......"

She didn't seem to be coming to her senses.

"Woke up? Next time, be careful, don't fall asleep outside, and get home with a good rest. ”

Seeing that Hotaru seemed to be a little confused, the warrior instructed, and when Miss Shenji, whose face was slightly red, got up, he turned around and walked to the door, waving goodbye to Atanis: "Then, goodbye, I hope you can break through the golden realm as soon as possible." ”

"Thank you for your blessings, and see you next time."

-- West of the city, Beppu

Due to the terrible construction efficiency in winter, the lord's palace has not yet been rebuilt, and the warriors can only temporarily live in Beppu in the west of the castle.

In Beppu's study, Joshua changed his clothes, and he was sitting at his desk, staring at the stacks of documents and envelopes that filled the entire desktop in front of him, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although the main city has its own set of military and political teams to deal with administrative issues, after all, he has not returned for more than a month, and some things that must be decided by him as a lord accumulate more and more, and they have become what they are today.

Alfonso ......

Taking out a beige letter, Joshua gently read out the name written on the edge of the envelope.

This is a letter from the president of the Chamber of Commerce, who he commissioned to buy some strange objects at the spring auction in the imperial capital.

However, it is not spring yet, and the auction should not have started yet, is there any urgency?

With this in mind, Joshua opened the letter. (To be continued.) )
