After the promotion ceremony was over, Abel returned to his daily life.
However, the number of professionals who requested to dine in the golden castle had reached a new high. The longest queue was already half a year later.
There were all kinds of relationships involved. Small factions used all kinds of connections to invite their geniuses to the golden castle. On one hand, they wanted to use the opportunity to get promoted. On the other hand, they wanted to see the legendary light.
In the Central Continent, the number of medium to large factions was far less than the number of small ones.
However, none of this had anything to do with Abel. He just watched the light gems in the warehouse increase little by little. Butler Meyer and his three followers were in charge of the reception.
He was on top of the starlight defensive circle. Through the path of faith, he was looking for a suitable believer to assassinate the preacher of the Nation of God.
He was already very familiar with choosing believers. Soon, he found a Knight with decent fighting ability.
He extended his power of the will into the knight's body through the channel of faith. Although this way of sensing was not as complete as when he possessed his summons, he could still sense everything that the believer sensed without affecting the believer.
He told the believer to leave his place and ride a horse to another city.
Now that the Nation of God controlled the teleportation circle, normal people could not use it without going through a strict application process.
This made it harder and harder for him to kill multiple professionals at once. Now, he could only kill five or six professionals at once before he was exposed and killed by the Paladin Knight.
Therefore, he always chose the most convenient cities for his believers. He could easily travel between several cities in a short amount of time.
The Knight was riding on his horse. His body and mind were completely enchanted by Abel's crystal angelic statue. His heart was filled with devotion to his god. He would carry out any task that his god gave him without any hesitation.
Abel was resting. He was bored, so he used the path of faith to see the scenery of the Nation of God.
Just as he was admiring the different scenery of the Central Continent through the Knight's vision, the light in the sky suddenly changed.
The knight sensed the change as well, so he lifted his head and looked towards the sky. This allowed Abel to see what was happening in the sky.
The Guardian Wings, which had been motionless all this time, began to flap their wings. This caused the light emitted by the Guardian Wings to shake.
Although the guardian wings were magical, they did not feel anything after looking at them for a long time. At least for the people of the Nation of God, this had been the case since they were born.
However, the guardian wings that were flapping their wings gently turned the dead guardian wings into living creatures.
The impact was directly reflected on the latent believers. Even the knight under Abel's control would've been unstable if he didn't use the divine prophecy to influence it.
Abel thought to himself, "Something's wrong with the Nation of God."
The guardian wings in the sky flapped their wings for 30 seconds. Then, just like before, the guardian wings returned to normal.
Abel didn't know if this had happened before, but he realized that this change of the guardian wings directly affected his crystal angel statue.
In his perception, other than the believers that were under the care of his preachers, the believers that he took in or stole for various reasons had decreased by a third in just 30 seconds.
As a matter of fact, the reason why his crystal angelic statue was able to receive the faith channel was that their prayers weren't directed at the demon from beyond or the guardian wings.
There was no need to talk about the Demon from Beyond. He had been in a deep sleep for a long time. Although all the missionary stations and temples were promoting him as a god, there was no sign of him. Without seeing a true god, the god's sense of existence would fade after a long time.
The guardian wings were the most accepted substitute for a god by the believers of the Nation of God. Of course, since the guardian wings and the demon from beyond were one, worshipping the guardian wings was the same as worshipping the demon from beyond.
However, although the guardian wings were miraculous, the people of the Nation of God were born in the Nation of God and grew up in the Nation of God. They were already numb to the guardian wings, so the miracles didn't affect them that much.
Therefore, many believers didn't have a clear target when they prayed. They just thought of the demon from beyond and prayed.
Originally, the power of faith generated by this kind of prayer would also belong to the guardian wings and the sky demon. However, the crystal angel statue, which was the same as the sky demon's origin, didn't appear.
Therefore, Abel's crystal angel statue was able to receive some of the prayers of the believers, and some of the paths of faith were connected to the crystal angel statue.
However, today, the guardian wings moved. It only took 30 seconds, but it was enough to change the direction of many believers' faith.
In the eyes of the believers, praying to the guardian wings was no different than praying to the demon from beyond.
But for Abel, the situation was very different. The number of followers that he could not control was reduced by a third all of a sudden.
Although he was affected, he still had to carry on with the mission. He sent out another command and ordered the Knight to set off.
The influence of the guardian wings was far beyond Abel's expectation. In the front line, Wizard Larkin and Wizard Luke were exchanging their training tips. Suddenly, they stood up and disappeared from the room.
"It seems like that thing is about to wake up!" Wizard Larkin said in a serious tone.
"The guardian wings must have sensed something from that thing. I don't think it will wake up anytime soon!" Wizard Luke lowered his voice.
The legendary wizards didn't mention the demon from beyond's name. This was out of respect, even if it was an enemy.
"Let's report it and see what the higher-ups have to say!" Wizard Larkin shook his head and suggested.
Although they were legendary wizards, dealing with the demon from beyond was not something they could worry about.
"I didn't expect it. Thousands of years have passed, and the peaceful times are coming to an end!" Wizard Luke sighed.
"Yeah, I hope our fighting power will increase greatly in the next few decades!" Wizard Larkin also sighed.
"Grandmaster Bennett's appearance means the power of our generation is growing!" Wizard Luke suddenly thought of Grandmaster Bennett and smiled.
"Yeah, a grandmaster alchemist's appearance will increase our fighting power by a lot!" Wizard Larkin also laughed.
"It seems like we need to increase the reward for the potion making missions. Grandmaster Bennett doesn't really care for 10,000 low-tier light gems!" Wizard Luke shook his head with a bitter smile.
It's been a while since Grandmaster Bennett leveled up, but he still hasn't accepted any Grandmaster alchemy missions from the Wizard Union.
The 3 legendary wizards felt helpless. They didn't want to force Grandmaster Bennett to help them. That would lead to a series of consequences.
At least if Grandmaster Bennett didn't like it, it would be very difficult for him to make potions for them.
"Then just increase the number of light gems. We have a lot of them in the Wizard Union warehouse. If Grandmaster Bennett wants more, just give them to him. If 10,000 is not enough, then 15,000. If that's not enough, then 20,000. As long as the potion can be made, it's worth it!" Wizard Larkin smiled casually.
In the Central Continent, the Wizard Union's warehouse was the place with the most light gems.
Just the 2 legendary wizards on the frontline had hundreds of thousands of low-tier light gems in the Wizard Union's warehouse. It was the accumulation of hundreds of years.
In addition to the number of light gems handed in by other wizards, the Wizard Union had at least a few million light gems.
These light gems were not distributed to the Central Continent because the Wizard Union wanted wizards to level up on their own. Wizards who used light gems to level up would not achieve much in the end.
On the other hand, if the light gems were to be used for the daily training of the wizards, even if there were several times more, it still wouldn't be enough to satisfy the needs of the wizards of the Wizard Union. It was better to just pile them up in the warehouse and slowly consume them as rewards.
This was why there were so many light gems in the Wizard Union's warehouse.
"Let's report the changes to the guardian wings first. I'll change the reward later!" Wizard Luke said helplessly.
After 4 successful assassinations, Abel's Knight was chased down by the Holy Knight of the Nation of God. At the last moment, Abel controlled that knight to commit suicide to cover up his secret.
Although this was unfair to the Knight, there was no such thing as fairness in this world. That Knight was not his follower. Other than the towns under his preacher's management, the other followers of the Nation of God were not his true followers.
Just like when the guardian wings flapped their wings, aside from the followers that were under the control of their preachers, the rest of the followers of the Nation of God were reduced by a third.
This time, he had used up one of the Book of Legacy in the crystal angel statue and obtained four Books of Legacy.
Although it was not as good as before when he could earn dozens of books of inheritance at once, he was still reaping the rewards.
However, he was still a little worried about the changes to the guardian wings. Did this mean the demon from beyond would wake up soon?
With his current strength, once the demon from beyond woke up and found out that he had stolen the believers and faith power, he wouldn't be able to stop the demon from beyond from taking revenge.
Although he could hide in the Dark World, he couldn't always hide in the Dark World. This was his world.
His power was still growing too slowly, he thought to himself.
At night, he was fighting with hell creatures in the Dark World's River of Flame. He was very active. He was going all out, and the result he got in these ten days was equivalent to the result he got in the past twenty days.
The demon from beyond was like the sword of Damocles hanging above his head, forcing him to do everything he could.
The next morning, Abel returned from the Dark World. As he was about to go make potions after breakfast, he heard the voice of the research spirit.
"Master, Wizard Hume from the Wizard Union is waiting for you in the guest hall!" The research spirit reported.
Abel didn't know what WIzard Hume wanted, so he quickly went to the guest hall through the short distance teleportation circle.
As soon as he entered, he saw WIzard Hume pacing back and forth in the guest hall. It seemed like he was in a hurry.
"Grandmaster Bennett, I'm so sorry for bothering you this morning!" WIzard Hume bowed.
"Wizard Hume, what's the matter today?" Abel knew WIzard Hume was in trouble, so he asked directly.
"Grandmaster Bennett, I'm here to urgently order a batch of lite healing potions and mana potions!" WIzard Hume bowed again.
"WIzard Hume, why are you in such a hurry? What happened?" Abel asked in confusion.
Every month, he would provide the Wizard Union with a certain amount of lite healing potions and mana potions. It was the largest amount in the Central Continent.
"Grandmaster Bennett, to be honest, something happened to the guardian wings of the Evil Kingdom. The Wizard Union wants to clear out the resource points controlled by the Evil Kingdom in the front line, but as you know, due to Wizard Dolan's poisoning, the Wizard Union's stock of potions has been used up. We don't have enough for a war!" WIzard Hume explained.
If it was someone else, WIzard Hume wouldn't say this, but Abel was a headmaster of the Wizard Union. There was no need to keep this a secret from Abel.
As a matter of fact, the law-defying wizards had been summoned since yesterday to participate in the front line operation, but none of them knew the specifics of this operation.
The Wizard Union knew how deep the Nation of God's intelligence network was in the Central Continent. If the Nation of God knew about this operation beforehand, it would be very troublesome.
"Something's wrong with the guardian wings of the Evil Kingdom!" Although Abel already knew about this, he still pretended to be surprised.
