149. White Cocoon
Thain. Viscount Hastings died of overwork, and the news was reported in Sein. On the third day after Hasting's death, it spread throughout the Void Duchy.
Except for the old lords of the Tinchiin Domain, few people in this world where communication and information are not very developed, know what this viscount has done. Especially now that all the nobles of the Void Principality have no fiefdoms, even fewer people know about Sein. Hasting's merits.
The only thing people know is that he is a viscount, and maybe he has done some very important things.
Because, at his funeral, even the Grand Duke of the Void Sean. Connery and the current triumvirate of the Void Duchy have all appeared, not to mention other big names such as marquis and earl. It is said that even the nobles of Ryan in other realms have sent envoys to participate, and this funeral can be regarded as very grand and grand.
And the funeral rite is not the priest of the Church of the God of Death, but the priest of the Church of Life.
There are only two types of churches that can preach within the territory of the Void Duchy, namely the Church of Ice and Winter and the Church of Life. As for other churches, they are not allowed to preach within the territory of the Void Principality, and Sean's practice naturally causes dissatisfaction among many churches, but he himself doesn't care at all, anyway, even if there is a divine punishment, there is Ace Wintertle, the goddess of violence.
According to Sean's observations, the goddess should be in a state of medium divine power now, otherwise it would be impossible for Shefanio to step into the Sanctuary. After all, the strength of the priesthood system is related to the strength of the gods to which the belief belongs, and the more powerful the gods. The stronger the believers they believe in, the stronger they are, so judging whether a god's divine power is strong enough is often based on how many strong people it has in the church organization to which it belongs in the world. You can tell.
Now the church of the goddess of ice and snow and winter, not counting Xuefanio, has two powerhouses in the Golden Realm, namely Tini and another cutting-edge priest with a knife. And the armed organization to which the church belongs, the Frost Priesthood, almost all of them have the strength of the Upper Silver Realm, and the other priests, priests and the like are at least Upper Bronze, these signs fully show that Ace Wintertle, the goddess of ice and winter, is definitely the most standard medium divine power now.
From being on the verge of extinction to becoming a medium divine power. Even if Ace Winter was the god of the Dawn Age, this recovery was too fast, and much of this was due to the fact that all the Northland barbarians believed in this goddess. Of course. It's more about thanking Sean, if it weren't for the Void Duchy's extremely powerful capital and explicit exclusive belief rights, I'm afraid that the faith war would have broken out long ago.
When the funeral was over, Sean was the first to leave.
And the other big names of the Void Duchy also have their own things to do. So they all chose to leave after the funeral. Only Neil, the hapless fellow, was arranged to entertain the noble envoys who had come to attend the funeral.
It stands to reason that this is actually a way to connect with other nobles, and its effect is almost second only to that of a banquet. But Sean's absence is actually an impolite behavior, at least for those old aristocrats, it is naturally a very unpleasant practice. However, considering that Sean has not been a nobleman for a long time, naturally no one will really care about his actions and practices, anyway, it is the chief internal affairs officer of the Void Principality who receives them. One of the three giants of the void today, this face is enough.
Sean didn't bother with these nobles. Naturally, there is a reason.
The time to go to the Savage Lands had to be postponed again due to Sein's death. However, in addition to this reason, another reason was that Harding suddenly changed his mind and wanted to go to the Wild Land with Sean to have a look, and then decided whether to join Sean's command, and Sean nodded in agreement. However, before Harding made a decision, it was naturally impossible for his demons to leave the secret prison, but Sean also promised that he would never treat these people badly.
In this regard, although Harding's face was unhappy, he still agreed.
However, in this way, it is quite a headache who to add to the list of people who to go to the Savage Lands. It's just that Sean's headache didn't last long, and Rottikabas volunteered to go with him, in his words, he had a common language with Harding, a person of the same holy blood race, and he himself came to the surface world to find the ruins of the Riding God, so he didn't want to stay in the Void Duchy.
In this way, Sean naturally did not refuse, but after thinking about it, he decided to bring Sheena with him, and instead let Rena stay in the Void Duchy. After all, if it is to play with spearmanship, Rottikabas's spear skills should be more exquisite, Rena may indeed be famous for her spear skills before, but the moment she turned to the Holy Dragon Knight, her achievements in martial arts have shifted.
Moreover, the Void Principality does need a person with strong enough personal force to take charge of it.
No one can determine the time of Xuefanio's awakening at present, and it is impossible for Vigna and Marton to recover from their injuries in a short time, although the Church of Ice and Winter still has a priest with a knife in the Golden Realm, but her personal strength is actually worse than Tini, so the current high-level combat power members of the Void Principality can be said to be almost zero. Sean even considered letting Tini stay, and instead went to Heatley to borrow a priest or priest from the Church of Life.
But before that, Sean needs to solve another problem first.
In one of the rooms of the Black Swan Castle, Cecilia walks in with marshmallows. It was lazy and seemed a little reluctant to take care of Sean's marshmallows, but after entering this room, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed extremely excited, and he quickly ran to Sean's feet, changing his usual cold attitude towards Sean.
Looking at the appearance of the marshmallow, Sean kicked it out: "You wall grass." ”
If he was kicked like this by Sean in normal times, Marshmallow would definitely have to fight hard even if he couldn't beat Sean, but this time he was cheeky again, and even wagged his tail in a gesture of goodwill. This scene was a complete surprise to Sean, because he had never seen Marshmallow wagging its tail like a puppy, and Marshmallow was not a canine creature in nature.
Sean glanced at Cecilia and noticed that Cecilia also looked surprised.
"Maybe he's been getting closer to the stray dog near the castle lately." Cecilia thought for a moment, then reluctantly came up with a reason.
"Ordinary creatures?" Sean was a little surprised, "Isn't this ordinary creature just like food for marshmallows?" …… Is it to fatten up and then eat it? ”
Hearing Sean's words, Marshmallow snorted visibly unpleasantly. But soon, he realized that Sean now had very good things, so he stuck his face again, and this appearance was much smarter than before.
"Stop teasing him." Cecilia smiled, "Give him those few elemental crystals." ”
Hearing this, Sean didn't know what to say, so he threw the three elemental crystals he got from the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce directly to the marshmallow.
The difficulty of obtaining elemental crystals is not low even in the late game, which is not to say that the dungeon is difficult to beat, but the drop rate is very pitiful, even if it is to go to the elemental plane, it only increases the drop rate by about ten percent.
The Blue Crystal, the Black Rock Steel, and the Emerald Green Stone represent the elemental crystals of the water element, the earth element, and the wind element, respectively, and if they are paired with the Crimson Flame that was eaten by the marshmallow before, Sean is sure to refine the four-color holy flame, a special gem that gathers the power of the four elements. Although this thing is a magic gem, but I don't know why, in the game, all the Grandmaster-level Forge Life Sub-classes can be crafted, and its quality is a Legendary-level item.
There are no more than ten kinds of legendary quality gems in the game, and the most rare thing is that once they are inlaid and fused to equipment above the legendary level, they can even give birth to epic or higher mythical level equipment, which is the special feature of legendary quality gems. And Sean, who originally wanted to forge a wand for Cecilia that was at least epic, but he didn't expect the Crimson Flame to go into Marshmallow's stomach.
However, since they have already invested in one elemental crystal, there is no reason not to continue to invest, so at this time, Sean will throw these three elemental crystals together to marshmallow. Of course, the most important thing is that Sean remembered the words of the holy beast in the crypt cave at the beginning, and with the terrifying power of that holy beast, it was not even in its complete form, which also made Sean want to know what the complete form of the marshmallow group was like.
Almost after Sean was distracted for a while, the marshmallow ate all three elemental crystals, and even some of the powder on the ground was licked clean by him. Cecilia, who had been staring at the marshmallow, was surprised to find that after the marshmallow had eaten all the elemental crystals, she actually hiccuped, and then lay on the ground and began to sleep, and after a while, there was a snoring sound like a human.
But this is not the most surprising, the real surprise is that when the marshmallow fell into a deep sleep, the hair on its body suddenly began to grow like crazy, like silk around quickly, completely wrapped the marshmallow, into a huge white cocoon about one meter high. Sean stretched out his hand and poked it, but found that the hardness of this thing was far beyond what he imagined, even if he took the Black King lightly, it only burst out a few sparks, and not even a shallow mark was left.
Soon, red, blue, green, and yellow brilliance began to shine in the cocoon, and although the brilliance of each color disappeared in a second, it would shine again after every four colors of brilliance, about ten minutes or so.
At this moment, Sean and Cecilia were both shocked: "This is the beginning of evolution?" (To be continued......)
