Chapter 364 Osman's Plan

When the first rays of morning light shone on the spire of St. Peter's Basilica, Arthur, wearing the papal vestments, sat quietly on a chair with a red velvet back.

This was his daily routine. The lost and regained position of the Saxon family, plus the position of the king of the Kingdom of Farouk, made him feel that he was truly in power.

Soon, the sun shone into the room, hitting his face, awakening his wandering consciousness.

The attendant walked into the Pope's Hall and respectfully presented a document:

"Your Majesty, the Church of the God of Life sent an envoy to deliver a letter."

"Well, what did you call me?"

"Uh, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

The attendant immediately changed his words. He was originally the king's guard. Now that Arthur has become the Pope, he still acts as an attendant.

Now that the king handles church affairs in the church in the morning and government affairs in the palace in the afternoon, he occasionally calls the wrong name, and it is difficult to change the habit for a while.

"In the church, I am the Pope, and in the palace, I am the King. We cannot confuse the two."

Arthur took the letter while teaching. When he finished reading the content, his mood suddenly became not so good.

Flando, the Pope of the Church of the God of Life, has become a fifth-level extraordinary person. This is definitely a heavy news.

Arthur frowned and raised his hand to his forehead. As far as he knew, the popes of all churches had all taken office more than a hundred years ago. In theory, the life source of these people must have been damaged. Normally, they could not go further on the path of extraordinary people.

Now that Flando has advanced to the fifth level, it must have made up for the damaged life source. I don't know if it is because the Church of the God of Life has some secret technique, or because Flando's divine bloodline has been further activated.

Flando is going to hold a meeting and invite all the popes of the church to participate to discuss and unite to fight against the increasingly approaching threat of the evil god. The time is set for three months later.

Arthur fell into deep thought. He was guessing the other party's purpose. Since they wanted to form a union, it would inevitably involve the election of a leader. There were undercurrents between the churches, and it was difficult to reach a consensus.

After thinking for a while, he wrote a reply.

This meeting must be attended. If you don't attend, you will be excluded from various actions by other churches.

There is another thing that bothers him. The Kingdom of Farouk has always been called a wild land by those southern churches. He plans to invite Clown to attend the meeting.

The Church of the Lord of Fire also has a fifth-level extraordinary person, and he is the first fifth-level extraordinary person in the entire continent.

As the Pope, it is also quite prestigious to have such a subordinate.

You are a fifth-level extraordinary person, haha, and it just so happens that our church has a bishop too!

After writing the letter, Arthur stamped it with the church seal and the Pope's private seal and handed it to the attendant:

"Seal it and give it to the messenger of the Church of the God of Life."

The attendant took the letter and left. As soon as he left, another bishop came in.

"Your Majesty, the latest war report from the River Valley Province has been sent. The number of fishmen going upstream has decreased recently compared to the past, but the strength of the fishmen has also become stronger. There are many third-level extraordinary people, and even silver-level ones can be encountered occasionally.

The casualties of the soldiers are very heavy. If it weren't for a considerable number of fishmen continuing to move north, they would have been unable to hold on. Prince Sean requests Your Majesty to send troops to assist."

"Well," Arthur slapped his forehead heavily, feeling aggrieved.

Because of Osman's betrayal, many fourth-level extraordinary people of the church died in the battle. If it weren't for another royal family member becoming a silver-level extraordinary person, the situation in the River Valley Province would be even worse.

Send troops? The Vatican's standing troops now only have some low-level troops. Osman is still hiding in the dark, and he has almost no troops to send.

But now the River Valley Province is guarded by the family's silver extraordinary people. They also know the situation they are facing. If they are not forced, they will not ask for help.

"Connie Salgado will be promoted to Silver Knight in a few days. I will write an order in the name of the king to mobilize the troops of the Salgado family to support the River Valley Province. Prince Sean, please wait patiently."

Arthur made a decision. To put it bluntly, the King's family is not the only one in the kingdom. He is only the head of the most powerful family.

There are many nobles who own territories, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Now sending nobles to participate in the war will inevitably involve some exchange of interests.

He thought for a while, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, which he sent to the Rhine City Diocese.

In the wilds filled with gray fog, various beasts roared one after another, and the screams of animals were heard from time to time.

On the boulder, the strange red magic circle flashed with ominous aura.

A big snake as thick as a bucket was placed in the magic circle. Its size gradually shrank, and finally it completely decayed into a ball of gray mud.

The silver solution flowed on the magic circle like a rushing stream, and finally gathered into a thumb-sized silver ball.

This is the blood essence of the big snake. After his continuous improvement, the extraction magic circle has become more efficient and has concentrated all the vitality of the creature into the blood essence.

The big snake is a fourth-level extraordinary creature, and it is not far from the fifth level. If it hadn't met Osman, it might have completed the advancement within two years. From this point of view, the giant snake is also considered "extraordinary", and its endowment is stronger than most humans.

Osman reached out, picked up the small ball, and threw it to the distorted "companion" beside him. This is a humanoid blood alchemy creature.

The disastrous defeat in the city of Bly made him realize that no matter how many low-level subordinates he had, they were of limited use.

If he had used all his strength to feed a blood alchemy beast to the fifth level at that time, the two of them would definitely not be the losers.

Nourished by the essence of the blood, a strong spiritual power wave emerged from the alchemy beast, and white "silk threads" sprayed out from its pores, quickly wrapping the alchemy beast tightly, and finally forming a huge cocoon.

Feeling the vigorous heartbeat inside the giant cocoon, Osman's expressionless face had a smile, the alchemy beast was going to evolve to the fifth level!

During this period, he sneaked into the Kingdom of Ribia, intercepted and killed several silver-level archbishops, and killed countless fishmen and monsters,

including two fourth-level deep divers. Now he has finally recovered from his injuries and cultivated an alchemy beast to the fifth level.

If Prince Sean, who guards the River Valley Province, knew about his efforts, he would definitely applaud. If it weren't for his efforts, more fishmen would attack the River Valley Province, and the River Valley might have fallen.

Osman showed an evil smile on his face. He planned to cultivate a few more fifth-level alchemy beasts and return to the Kingdom of Farouk to take back everything he had lost.

If the alchemy beast wants to advance, it only needs to devour enough. If the quality is not enough, the quantity can make up. Now he has a helper and can make a big move.

With endless knowledge, he has developed a magical ability. As long as he can eat the brain of a creature, he can change the appearance of this creature, and even simulate the soul fluctuations to be exactly the same as the reference creature.

This ability is inspired by the shapeshifter, which is the result of decades of research by a warlock.

Osman's first stop was to go to Rhine City, find Crown who hurt him, kill him secretly, and then get everything from him.

Then use this as a springboard to complete the goal of replacing Arthur.

He already had a way to crack the ability that could make him stand still.

The reason why Arthur was not set as the first target was that the magic circle of St. Peter's Cathedral was not destroyed on a large scale by him, and the protection magic circle of the Holy See should have been repaired and put into use.

As a pope, he knew how strong the magic circle of St. Peter's Cathedral was.

So he had to take a detour and solve Crown first, and then use Crown's blood essence to see if it was possible to go further to the sixth level. He felt that there was great hope.

The golden light radiated outward from Crown's body and lasted for half a minute.

After finishing this great cycle of visualization, Crown opened his eyes.

He stood up from his cross-legged state and walked to the window.

Outside the window, the setting sun was like blood, and it would be night soon.

The Golden Light Mantra advances to the fifth level, and the time to obtain double Sun Flame Liquid or Moon Dew through visualization increases by one hour. Only the midnight and midnight hours do not have double effects.

As he stood up, Eliza, Nick, Fanny and others who participated in the visualization stood up and said goodbye.

Now, Clown leads the Dao Seed holders to visualize during the day, and performs alchemy at night to obtain mithril.

Now more and more people are about to break through the silver level. Even if they trade with the Brotherhood with Golden Light Potion, they still cannot exchange for enough mithril.

Everyone knows that mithril has become a hard currency better than the Golden Spirit Coin.

The gap that Fanny needs is very large. The Brotherhood can only take out 20 pounds as a trading item at most, and there is still a gap of 10 pounds.

Clown plans to help Fanny advance to silver first, so that he will be more assured when he leaves.

If Fanny advances, relying on the protective array, even if a fifth-level extraordinary creature comes, she can resist for several months, provided that she is not broken by the enemy from the inside.

Now the entire Hammers City has been completely closed. If you want to enter it, you must undergo strict inspection.

He called Fanny and said:

"In ten days at most, I can refine enough mithril."

"That's great. Thank you for your help. I feel that my life source has increased faster, and I am more confident to cross this threshold and complete my wish to advance to the silver level."

Fanny was very happy. She would reach the peak of the third level earlier than expected. Now she can get the mithril earlier than originally planned, and it will be smoother to advance to the silver level.

Others said goodbye to Crown and left one after another. Soon only his own people were left in the room-Eliza and three tamed beasts.

Although he advanced to become a sixth-level extraordinary person, Crown had new troubles.

Now he has 21 more golden light Dao seeds in his hand, and he is worried about who to give them to. Everyone familiar with him has Dao seeds.

Dao seeds cannot be given out casually. The higher the qualifications of the holder, the less he needs extra care.

People with good qualifications have more advantages whether climbing to the peak of the extraordinary road or practicing the level of the Golden Light Mantra.

Excellent people can provide him with more proficiency, so he must of course select them carefully.

The Golden Light Mantra has advanced to the fifth level. The Tao Seed holders have reduced their proficiency by the same amount of time, only about 60% of the previous level.

Therefore, he put forward higher requirements for Tao Seed holders.

Arcturus came over and licked the back of his master's hand flatteringly.

It should be due to the advancement of Clown that the Northland Giant Bear advanced to the third level, half a year earlier than expected. The giant bear's body is stronger than that of an ordinary adult giant bear. I don't know if it has entered the adult cycle in advance.

Eliza smiled and said, "I feel that the level of the Golden Light Mantra is not far from the advancement. The Golden Light Mantra can accelerate the growth of the origin of life. Maybe in a few years, I will touch the threshold of the silver level."

Her words are actually very conservative. According to the current growth rate, it will not take a year to reach the threshold.

Clown nodded and smiled bitterly:

"Negotiate with the Brotherhood to use Mithril to settle the sale of Golden Light Potion in the future."

He had a hunch that those who held Golden Light Dao Seeds would reach the threshold of the Silver Rank more quickly, so he had to prepare more Mithril.

When some Dao Seed holders entered the Silver Rank, his power would be truly formed.

After thinking for a while, Clown decided to wait until he returned from the Holy See and spend one to two hours every day to refine Mithril.

He went to the Holy See because after advancing to the sixth rank, he needed to refer to the experience of his predecessors to see what preparations were needed to achieve the Holy Mark Gold.

Fortunately, his alchemy was strong enough and efficient enough, otherwise he would need to invest more time.

Eliza said:

"I will apply to the family headquarters to see if I can buy a batch of Mithril.

You said you got some Dao Seeds again. I wonder if Aunt Audrey can get one. If more powerful people emerge in the McLean family branch, it will be beneficial to us. The two families are close allies."

The castle of the Moya family is very close to the McLean family, so the two sides can take care of each other.

She is now the mistress of the Moya family, and she will consider everything that is beneficial to the family.

You are really my good wife, Audrey is at the silver level. Assuming that the Dao Seed holders practice visualization for the same amount of time every day, the level of the Golden Light Mantra of these people is the same, and the proficiency obtained by the fourth-level extraordinary is more than ten times that of the third-level extraordinary.

Clown held his wife's hand and smiled:

"If Audrey agrees, I have no problem. If there are other people in the McLean family who want to obtain the Dao Seed, there is no problem.

But there is one condition. If you want to be granted the Golden Light Dao Seed, the person who signs up must reach at least the third level."

How could Clown refuse such a request? He wished that his followers were all at the silver level.

It is unknown how long the Moya family will have to wait to expand.

Now there are more than two hundred members of the McLean family who have come to Hammers City, eight third-level extraordinary people, and more than a thousand people stationed here, including servants.

It shouldn't be difficult to pick out a few with good qualifications.

Eliza said confidently:

"I think my aunt will definitely agree. No extraordinary person will refuse to achieve higher achievements."

She only needs to show Audrey her recent achievements, which will definitely arouse her strong interest. She is very confident that she can convince her.

Everyone wants to become stronger, and the desire of extraordinary people is even stronger.
