Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 1101 Power Crisis (3)

Ryan and Allendo’s words made Reid lost in thought. On this road of power, giving up or continuing, there is no third possibility to choose, and once a choice is made, there is no way to look back. Reid is now It's like standing at the crossroads and watching the traveler who knows the unknowable future, he himself really wants to know what he will choose in his heart.

Perhaps it’s because every man’s heart can’t help but desire power, or because Reid doesn’t want to betray his teacher Ibel’s entrustment. In the end Reid slowly said his choice. He wants to inherit the legacy of Archbishop Ibel. Reorganize the Bright Church and spread the gospel of the gods to every corner of the mainland.

With a goal, there is motivation to move forward. Reid quickly took out the Bordeaux wine hidden in his storage pocket and vowed that he would quit drinking.Seeing Reid's spirit reinvigorated again, Falas, whom he had known since childhood, couldn't help being happy for him, and at the same time secretly surprised that Ryan had made the same choice as Victor.

In fact, Faras came to Cassano in person this time, not just to inform about the Church of Illumination, but to bring the result of her secret discussion with Victor.When Victor learned that Senat publicly supported Ferdinand, he quickly gave a countermeasure, that is, taking the opportunity to make trouble.

The current Guangming Church is becoming more and more lifeless. Except for a small number of young pastors, most of the Guangming pastors are becoming numb. They seem to have forgotten their responsibility to save the world, and they are slowly immersed in the glory of the past. In retrospect, a small number of careerists even secretly planned how to restore the supreme status of the Church of Illumination on the mainland, such as Henry, the assistant of the former Archbishop Ibel.

As the spokesperson of the gods on this plane, even if the imperial capital is dissatisfied with them, there is no way to do it publicly, but now there is an excellent opportunity. Senat’s public support for Ferdinand is equivalent to giving those ambitious cardinals. A channel to release one's own power and desire, and since the death of Ibel in the Bright Church, there is no longer any power and prestige enough to suppress the existence of the careerists below, so its split is inevitable.

That being the case, Victor simply decided to add to the flames and accelerate the division of the Church of Illumination, allowing those who have been blinded by power to jump out on their own. As long as the inheritance of the archbishop is controlled, then no matter how the Church of Illumination is split, that person The archbishop who holds the Burning Angel Staff and Praise of the Light can punish those betrayers in the name of God.

Of course, in this way, the Bright Church will definitely be greatly injured, but anyway, they are now not able to contribute to the battle with the undead army, so Victor's move is not considered an act of harming the friendly army.If the Church of Light can finally be truly involved in the battle with the Undead Legion, even if they only have one-tenth of the devout believers, it is a force that cannot be ignored. After all, Light Magic has a special advantage over evil undead creatures. .

The whole plan naturally had to be carried out behind Orlando, who would make the latter also a believer of the gods.Therefore, during the execution of the entire plan, Victor must use Ryan’s power a lot. After all, there are three legendary powerhouses in Cassano, and one of them is enough to kill Lingyi. With the existence of a legendary powerhouse, with him in the back, no matter what accidents happen, it can be guaranteed that the human side will not suffer too much loss.

The first step of the whole plan is to keep Reid away from the imperial capital. Otherwise, with his nominal archbishop sitting in the Basilica of San Nebiro, those cautious guys may not dare to move around, but to let an archbishop leave. Reasonable excuses, so Victor simply put the magic transformation on the agenda, and then the power high-levels of the entire imperial capital came to Cassano together, and Reid would also take the opportunity to stay in Cassano to repair the artifact.

It is important to repair the artifact, but in the Church of Light, the existence of the cardinals can know this secret. After all, Reid cannot completely avoid everyone if he wants to take out the fragments of the artifact. Eyes and ears, so Reid would have a reasonable excuse for staying in Iron Fist Castle.Of course, in the hearts of almost everyone, it is impossible for a few mortals to repair a completely damaged artifact, even if there is some fairy queen legendary wizard among them, so those careerists will no longer care about burning angel staff.

Because even if Reid repaired it, according to Ferdinand’s accusations, Reid still couldn’t get rid of the suspicion of murdering Ibel, and his archbishop status was still unstable.And although the power of the Burning Angel Staff is strong, it is only aimed at heretics, and for the cardinals who also believe in the God of Light, it can only make them feel like a spring breeze.As for the power and methods used by the popes and archbishops to control their subordinates, because of Reid’s current age and hastily taking over as the archbishop, he has not learned anything and has nothing to do. Otherwise, even if Reid doesn’t have the Angel Staff The way to fight against powerful enemies like the demi-lich would not be so powerless to control the internal control of the Church of Light.

Now that Faras has not started the second step of the whole plan, her husband Ryan has already started to push the whole situation towards Victor and the others on his own. If it weren't for Faras also one of the planners of the whole event, it is very It is clear that only three or five people know the whole plan so far. Ryan is definitely not included, and she will doubt whether Ryan used some secret method to eavesdrop on their secret discussion process.

Seeing that Reid and the others began to discuss how to deal with it in the future, Farath felt that he had to say something, and that the development of the situation must be controlled within a certain range, otherwise once Ryan took the most direct means, Victor’s The entire plan is prone to deviations, and even the opposite result.

"Well, let me say a few words." Falasi said, "Actually, I think there are a few things that are most important now. First, that is the Burning Angel Staff. Well, everyone here is the closest person to Ryan. I'll talk about some things straight, but please keep them secret. In fact, the main purpose of Reid's visit this time is to ask Sister Freya to help repair a damaged artifact, which is the Burning Angel Staff, which symbolizes the majesty of the archbishop. ."

Emma in the distance was stretching out her hand to return the book in her hand to the shelf. Unexpectedly, her body froze when she heard the name. Her hand softened, letting the thick magic book fall to the ground and sent it out. Crisp sound.This voice naturally attracted everyone's attention in the quiet library. Falasi glanced at Emma and asked, "Why, Emma, ​​do you know its name?"

Emma seemed to be aware of her gaffe. She cast a spell with both hands, held the magic book on the ground again, and sent it back to the shelf. Then her body floated to Farasi's side, and then she answered, "Yes, Of course I know. Back then, this artifact was enshrined in the Temple of Apocalypse for a while, but it is a pity that the high priests could not find a way to replicate this artifact."

"Replicating the artifact?" Ryan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked: "What the hell is going on, can you tell me more about it?"

Seeing that Ryan was about to move the topic away, Faras patted him lightly, and said displeased: "I hate it, don't be like this, people are talking about business!"

"Well, Emma, ​​keep talking." Ryan greeted him, then turned to Faras and said, "Fanny, this matter may be more important than everything else now, let me listen first."

Seeing Ryan’s serious face, Farasi nodded and agreed to Ryan’s request. Emma went on to say: "The archbishop of the Church of Illumination at the time came to the Temple of Apocalypse secretly, and the high priest at the time was very Young, only qualified to participate as an assistant. Actually, I am not particularly clear about the specific process. I only saw a small part from a notebook of the high priest when managing the books and archives."

Freya spoke: "Then do you know how far the final copy result is?"

Emma tilted her head for a moment and replied, "I have only a little impression. It seems that there are several critical problems that cannot be solved. Therefore, the copied artifact can only achieve less than one-tenth of the power of the real artifact, and It is very unstable, maybe it will be damaged once released, maybe it can't be used at all, and it will even hurt the user."

Emma said this with a sorry expression on her face. She said: "When I found the diary, it was damaged a lot because it was not well preserved. I just inferred from a few words and guesses. That's a little bit. But the diary should still be deep in the Temple of Apocalypse, if..."

"Well, I don't need it for the time being." Ryan waved his hand and said, "The situation is very delicate now. We can't distract ourselves. Well, this matter will stop here for the time being. Let's talk about it later. Well, Fanny, Go ahead."

Faras gave Ryan a blank look and continued: "The most urgent task now is to repair this artifact. After all, with it, we can continue the inheritance of the archbishop, and it will also be a deterrent to the undead army. Of course, if the artifact is so easy to repair It can’t be called an artifact, so we have to prepare with both hands."

"The second thing is to form an army of priests like the magic army. All members of this new army are naturally strong-willed believers. Their belief in the gods allows them to have strong light power, no matter in the face. For the division within the Church of Illumination, or facing the evil creatures of the Legion of Undead, the power of light representing justice and order can purify all heresies! As Ryan just said, the Church of Illumination is now depressed, and many people have become rotten. This army of pastors, which is fully selected, trained and commanded by Reid, will naturally take on the important task of revitalizing the Bright Church!"
