Chapter 821: Archbishop of Kular(1/2)
It was precisely because of this main mission that Lu Chen was interested in what Kakafa said.
Capturing the angel-level monsters can not only complete the main mission, but also enhance your strength by devouring them later. This is a double-edged sword.
Lu Chen was absorbing the source of the weirdness, and naturally rushed through the eighth step of the saint's realm, arriving at the last small step of the saint's realm, when he suddenly received another prompt from the space.
He received a new side mission, which felt like it was temporarily assigned by space.
[Side mission: Mining area development]
Mission content: Recapture the hidden mining area on the border of Morse Province in the northeastern part of the Sistine Empire, help the supporters develop it, and station it for at least a week.
Mission time limit: within two natural months
Mission Difficulty: Normal ~ Hard
Mission reward: 10% of all rare minerals excavated by the supporters in the Morse Mine.
Failure penalty: obliteration
Although it was a side mission, Lu Chen saw the word "obliterate" for the first time in a long time.
Lu Chen could only read two words on this page, "Urgent"
He felt that the origin space seemed to be in a hurry. The explorers/supporters of their space were the best at mining and had a high output rate. However, in this world, there were explorers from the other two spaces coming, resulting in mining areas everywhere.
Being occupied, the supporters of the Origin Space could not find a good place to wield their pickaxes.
From the previous conversations on the world public channel, Lu Chen could tell that there should be some supporters in the Origin Space group, but they were not having a good time, and they were still poor and happy mining in a miserable place.
The origin space probably couldn’t stand it anymore, so it released this kind of mission...
As for whether he was the only one who received it, Lu Chen was not sure, because there were also seventh-level explorers entering the origin space, and he did not dare to say that he was the strongest one.
Although the punishment for this task was severe, Lu Chen was not in a hurry to complete it. During the delay, he wanted to absorb the strange origins in his body, and then went to have a friendly chat with Archbishop Kural.
Late at night, in the suburbs of the royal capital, Lu Chen stood in the dark night sky, feeling the changes in his body.
The expected thunder disaster did not come, which made his trip in vain.
In the past, in the world of Zhetian, after reaching the Saint Realm, every time he ascended a small step, he would encounter a catastrophe of outrageous power. However, he avoided it when he went to the Land Abandoned by the Gods.
Rather, there is no so-called way of heaven in this place.
Not having thunder tribulation is not a good thing, it will make him less physically baptized. Those are all subtle changes.
This incident also made Lu Chen more determined in his thoughts. His Martial Emperor Sutra must break free and become a body-based method that is not bound to any heaven and earth environment.
After the breakthrough, Lu Chen's main attribute increased by 2 points again. Under normal conditions, his physical attribute was as high as 179 points, which is already regarded as a god-level strength. If the Duke of Slaughter's Wild Hunting skill is turned on, within 60 seconds of the God Eater
, he felt that he could even fight Mona, and it was not like there was no chance of winning.
Divine Forbidden is a very strange thing, and Lu Chen still can't figure out the rules of its triggering. The only thing he feels is related to it is the pressure and state of mind during the battle.
Because he is permanently stationed in the Eight Forbidden Areas, if he does not enter the Divine Forbidden Areas, he will not be able to trigger the Secret Secrets of Secrets. If this super skill is placed on him, most of the time the pearl will be covered in dust.
But if he could enter the Divine Forbidden State and then activate the Secret of Secrets, his combat power would expand to such an extent that Lu Chen felt that killing Peter would be a matter of one blow.
He didn't know what the extent of the old gods in the God-forsaken land was, but he would probably not be able to die if he met them in the forbidden state.
…………
In the prosperous royal capital, ordinary daily life makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.
In the past few weeks, Lu Chen has been living a three-to-one life. He gets up every morning and eats breakfast cooked by Lu Lin. In the morning, he and Eriyi go to the morning church library.
Then comes sweet lunch, sweet afternoon tea, sweet dinner, sweet... night.
Ji Wu Jiu was honest. Apart from reporting to Bolton on the first day and chatting a little with the middle-aged knight, Lu Chen had nothing to do with him in the church.
Receiving a high salary every day and having his wife by his side almost made Lu Chen forget that this was a mission world.
But today was different from the past. He came to the parish south of the royal capital, outside a mansion, to do business.
He successfully absorbed the remaining weird origins in his body last night, and as he expected, he broke through to the realm of the Saint King, and his main attributes increased by two points again.
The improvement of the great realm is not only the change of attributes, but also the understanding of Tao and the application of Dharma. Compared with the previous ones, the offensive power of Regicide has new changes, which means that he has taken a further step on the road of pursuit.
With his current strength, he doesn't have many worries in the God-forsaken land, and the Church of Morning Embrace would never have thought that he could successfully absorb a divine envoy-level strange origin in less than a month.
Before he came today, Peter had met him in the church, and his words were quite tactful, meaning that he should not go too far, and Archbishop Kural was still useful to the Morning Support Church.
Lu Chen did not respond. He just said that he wanted to know the inside story of the sacred disaster in Ocalan.
"Mr. Lu, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
As soon as Lu Chen arrived outside the mansion, a middle-aged man wearing a red robe was already standing there.
The man has short gray hair and is nearly 1.8 meters tall. Although he looks middle-aged, his actual age is probably close to seventy, and you can see a lot of vicissitudes of life in his eyes.
He has a strong body, a majestic temperament with some affinity, and he has an inexplicable sense of holiness. At first glance, he is a clergyman with a high position in the church.
Archbishop Kural saluted Lu Chen, "I should have thought that such a day would come. Please come in, Mr. Lu, and I will tell you everything you want to know."
The other party was polite and polite, so to speak, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Lu Chen didn't dare to get angry when he came up, so he was ready to listen to what the other party had to say.
Judging from the memory fragments, that incident was an accident. Archbishop Kural did not intend to cause a disaster there. He indirectly killed 100,000 people in Ocalan City. If he had been the victim, Lu Chen would not have followed him.
The other party is talking nonsense, so just kill him with a knife.
Archbishop Kular led Lu Chen to sit down on the sofa in the hall, and personally took out a bottle of black tea from a cabinet not far away and brewed it. "Mr. Lu came to me. How much did he know? Or should I say how much did he remember?"
"I can recall everything I saw that night, thanks to that weird origin."
Lu Chen said expressionlessly, without taking the teacup.
Archbishop Kural didn't mind either. He put the teapot away and sighed, "I thought you would wake up after I was buried. I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly and your strength would increase incomprehensibly."
.”
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Others can't understand it, but I understand it. After all, as a transcendent, what you see is different from ordinary transcendents."
He looked at Lu Chen and said, "Mr. Lu, if there is anything else you want to know, please ask."
Lu Chen tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa and thought: "First of all, I want to know where that eyeball came from?"
"This design involves the church's top secret..."
Archbishop Kural frowned, but when he saw the look in Lu Chen's eyes, he shook his head and said, "But a Dawn Knight still has the authority to know about this matter."
He recounted: "This originated from a special mission. At that time, I was just a special night watchman. I received an emergency transfer order from the Pope to go to the North Sea to deal with a special disaster."
Lu Chen just observed the fluctuations in the other person's emotions and expressions to judge the authenticity of his words.
"You don't have to look at me like that. Mr. Lu can also ask His Majesty the Pope about these matters. It is a task assigned by him."
Archbishop Kural noticed Lu Chen's eyes and said.
"Go on, I'm listening for those people."
Lu Chen said calmly.
Archbishop Kural sighed, "The mission information at that time only showed the scope and intensity of the disaster. As an elite of the special night watch, I felt that I could handle it with confidence. Moreover, those years were very chaotic, and the four knights of the dawn of the church were indeed
I couldn't spare any money and had no choice, so I headed to Beihai."
"When I arrived at the scene of the incident, I found that the source of the strange thing was an eyeball. I didn't know how it appeared there, or if someone brought it there, and I didn't know its source at the time."
"The weird eyeballs are not very aggressive in nature, but they are steadily spreading fear and gradually eroding Haibei Province. When I arrived, I had already approached the urban area in the north of Haibei Province. Many of the refugees living in the wilderness had already died. So
After arriving in time, I easily suppressed it and sealed it into a special box kept by the special night watchmen."
"Because at that time I felt that its power was not ferocious, and I wanted to bring it back to the church completely. A special weird origin would allow me to achieve a lot of achievements, but on the way back, I discovered something unusual."
Archbishop Kural looked grave, "It will subtly affect people's minds. During this period, I wanted to absorb it on the spot several times. Finally, I found red lines on my body and realized that this thing was already controlling me.
Now, the frightening whispers and breaths are raging in my body. I use my own original power to fight against it, but it has little effect."
"While asking for help from the Royal Capital, I passed through the Delivi God Pillars in various places and wanted to return to the Royal Capital as soon as possible. However, I still overestimated my resilience and went all the way to the outskirts of Ocalan City. I originally wanted to pass through the Delivi God Pillars there.
I can move through the pillars, but my body can no longer withstand it. If I don’t give up my weird eyes, I’m afraid I will be controlled soon.”
When Lu Chen heard this, he said, "So just let it go."
Archbishop Kural opened his mouth, "Yes, I really want to say that I am afraid that if I am manipulated, it will cause a greater disaster, but those are all reasons. I am just afraid of death, so I let it go."
Lu Chen didn't judge, picked up the tea cup and drank the black tea.
"After letting go, I withdrew to a certain distance and used the strange original power in my body to dispel the influence of the strange eye. After I wanted to recover, I suppressed it again and headed to the royal capital in one breath."
Archbishop Kural showed a look of reminiscence, "I still remember those civilians running toward the strange eyes one by one, gouging out their own eyes and then dying miserably on the ground. But I didn't dare to go there before I adjusted. It's because
I have experienced too many weird events, and I have become more and more cautious and afraid of death and complete destruction."
"After I adjusted my breath, I was about to take action to suppress it, but something happened that I couldn't imagine. Did you know that it was actually the eye of an old god, belonging to Haquist, and his projection?
When it comes, it’s simply not a level I can handle.”
Lu Chen listened to Archbishop Kural's narration, and reflected on the strange memory fragments, he realized that the other party was not lying.
He could see that Archbishop Kural had indeed returned to suppress the Weird Eye after he recovered at that time, but the disaster was constantly escalating.
"Mr. Lu, I have to say that your survival is a miracle. If the person who was targeted at that time was me, there should be no possibility of my survival. But you not only withstood the direct erosion of the old god's will, but you were also lucky enough to be wiped out.
Before, we encountered a struggle between two old gods. At the last moment, the aura of another old god appeared, breaking Haquist's projection."
