[First Update]
Faleau's eyes widened as he looked at Salin. Salin's attitude was very serious.
Faleau thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness wants me to do something more important. I'm afraid I can't do as I wish."
Salin laughed. Faleau was too good at talking. He said to Faleau, "I'll let you act according to your capabilities. Actually … let's not talk about this for now. Just follow me. "
Salin said and threw a Fallen Scepter to Faleau. This scepter also had a blood-colored soul tower on it. However, the scepter itself wasn't the scepter of the Three Lords. Salin finally knew how precious that thing was. However, the material of this scepter could be considered excellent for those below level 16.
Faleau was overjoyed. He didn't care about the benefits. The quality of what Salin gave him showed that Salin didn't intend to deal with him casually. He was a person who liked to climb up. If he gambled wrong this time, there would be no chance for him to make a comeback.
Faleau's subjugation was just an accident. Salin didn't expect such a talent to come up. If he needed followers for himself, of course, he would not want any traitors. However, he wanted to find a pope for the Winged Skeleton. The Jade Skeletons under the Winged Skeleton had become Gods, and they had to spread their religion. There was more than one Death Plane. When he found a new Death Plane, he would let this fellow play with it.
Of course, Salin was also afraid that Faleau would become the next pope of the Druidic Order and strengthen it. In any case, the Druidic Order couldn't continue to expand. Myers had already been resurrected. If they continued to expand, the goddess' strength would rise steadily and no one could stop her.
With the first traitor, the second one was much easier. In the Sacred City, there were nearly fifty mages who chose to betray. It wasn't that there were only forty or so traitors in the entire Sacred City, but that there were others who wanted to betray but couldn't break through the blockade of the Sacred City.
These forty or so mages were picked up by the metal angels and arranged by Salin's side. These mages looked at Faleau enviously. Faleau didn't tell them the truth and just let them continue to envy him.
These mages regretted betraying too late. If they had been a step earlier, they might have become the next pope of the Druidic Order.
Salin didn't say anything about Faleau's actions. Among these people, choose a suitable pope and let Faleau do him a favor. Also, the more difficult it was to obtain something, the more one would treasure it after obtaining it.
Sarin didn't expect these mages to be grateful to him. As long as they could remember what happened today, he would be able to summon clouds and rain with a flip of his hand and let them know fear.
Salin did not want to master too many political tricks. It was fine as long as it was enough. When you have absolute power, everything is relatively easy. If not for the floating city and powerful magic equipment, how could Salin have attracted so many supreme mages to join him with just a shout?
For Salin, the sacred city had already been breached. Without the help of dozens of powerful mages, Salin directly found a breach in the city's formation and threw down a large number of boulders.
These boulders were not ordinary stones, but stones that had been infused with the divine power of the Goddess of Nature. These stones had completely disrupted the defense system of the entire city. Not to mention the addition of the Goddess of Nature's Divine Power, it would not be beneficial to have so much Divine Power from the God of Light between these churches.
After the city was breached, a large number of puppets were sent into the Holy City, followed by the human puppets and demons.
Salin personally flew down from the Holy City with Boder's Gate, opened the gates, and let his army kill their way out.
This time, Salin did not besiege the city, nor did he seal the gates. Some of the knights and mages in the city resisted stubbornly, while others desperately tried to escape.
Those who escaped were not intercepted, so more people chose to escape.
Only a group of mages from the Cardinal Council did not escape. They were surrounded by Salin's army, all of them blocked in the Nico Cathedral.
Salin was not in a hurry. He let the army slowly clean up the city. There was not much wealth in this city. The real wealth was concentrated in another city on the Plain of Light. That city was nameless, but it was the headquarters of the Cardinal Council.
But its defense was not as good as that of the Holy City. It completely relied on its geographical advantage to become a fortress run by the Cardinal Council. Salin had the floating city, so he could deploy a large number of troops directly into the city to fight. Therefore, the floating city only intercepted one kind of people: those who escaped to the headquarters of the Cardinal Council.
Salin still had that city on his mind.
Although most of the wealth of the Cardinal Council was later divided up by the cardinals, there were some things that the cardinals did not dare touch. Salin wanted to take them all.
The battle lasted for a day and a night. Because Salin's attack was not intense enough, he did not invest many soldiers. It was not until the army of the Druidic Order approached that the knights in the city completely retreated.
The knights retreated, and the mages scattered. This Holy City had a lot of defense equipment, as well as a church with a long history. Salin could even see the divine light on the walls of the church.
There were traces of holiness everywhere in this city. The God of Light had once run this place and chosen a powerful pope, as well as a group of knights and mages. Later, the God of Light went on an expedition to other planes, and the people in the Holy See had never been united again.
They did not need to be united at all. In the hearts of the believers, as long as the God of Light was there, the Holy See would not fall.
Since it would not fall, everyone should make a fortune from this behemoth.
Enter Heaven? As long as they contributed, they could enter. They could not be taken advantage of in the human world.
This kind of thinking had eaten away the entire Holy See. Otherwise, with Dinicio's ability, the situation would not have been so unsalvageable.
Salin let the army of the Druidic Order enter, and his own army gradually retreated to Boder's Gate, leaving the Insect Angels to maintain order. Conquering the Holy City was not strange at all. There was no leader here.
The pope had disappeared, and they could not elect a suitable candidate. When Salin's Floating City arrived, everyone was still scheming against each other, thinking that they could escape the disaster by relying on the city.
Gathering his army, Salin went to see Dong, who was leading the army.
Dong had no regrets at this time. He personally led the army into the Holy City and began to destroy the church. What he hated was destroyed in his hands, and what he believed in was abandoned.
None of this was what he wanted, but this was fate, and he did not want to resist.
Salin made him the leader of the knights of the Divine Nature Temple, and he did not want to believe in the Goddess of Nature. From this point of view, he was quite grateful to Salin. But now the Goddess had sent down an oracle, and Baudelaire had clearly told him that the Goddess had been resurrected.
This was a bit troublesome, so Dong worriedly said to Salin, "Your Highness, about the Goddess's resurrection, what do you think?"
"You continue to do what you are doing. There are still many places that have not been conquered," Salin replied.
Continue? Dong smiled. It seemed that Salin really did not have much respect for the Goddess. He had to ask the Goddess for this kind of thing first. After all, the Goddess was a deity of this plane. Once she appeared, she would personally preside over the situation.
Salin seemed to understand Dong's thoughts. He said to Dong, "I will go see Myers in person. You just do what you are doing. Right now, you … are no match for Myers."
Dong bowed and retreated. Salin and all the irrelevant people left the Floating City. Only then did he put away the Floating City and took Raphael to the center of the continent, the Purgatory Desert.
He could not wait for the results. If Myers wanted to harm him, now was the best time to approach her. Myers' power would grow every day, and by a lot.
His miscalculation had actually allowed the Druidic Order to grow so quickly.
Raphael was a bit puzzled and said to Salin, "Why are you going to see Myers in person?"
In Raphael's view, the deities were capricious, and it was very dangerous for Salin to go.
"There are some things that I have to ask in person. Raphael, you said that there are good deities. I don't know if Myers is considered good, but at least, she used to be a human Mage. "
"What's there to trust in an identity!" Raphael's tone was a bit grim.
"It's not trust, it's a gamble. If I wait any longer, Myers will know everything about me. Although there are many loopholes in her plan, as long as one person can complete her contract, she will get everything she wants. This is not the wisdom of the deities, but the wisdom of humans. "
Salin meant, of course, that the deities were inferior to humans.
Raphael was silent. She did not know how to persuade Salin. According to her idea, the best thing to do now was to gather all the experts, meet the Goddess, and kill her to be safe.
Salin did not think so. There were still a bunch of ghosts in the Cemetery of Heroes, and among them, the Grandmaster was quite disgusted with him. This kind of hatred was because the Grandmaster had tried to scheme against him several times but failed.
This was not his fault, he just did not want to become the Grandmaster's toy.
Should he not resist? Be willing to be someone else's pawn?
Whether it was the ghosts in the Cemetery of Heroes or Myers in the Purgatory Desert, Salin did not want to provoke them. But since it was removed, he could not get rid of it. The so-called fate was definitely not something you could break free from. It was something that would accompany you for life.
Salin wanted to meet Myers because of her ambiguous attitude.
Her religion would not accept nobles other than Metatlin.
Was his surname so prominent that even the Goddess had to respect it? Of course, Salin did not think so. He was not crazy.
Along the way, it was extremely depressing. Salin's artifact spirits did not dare to speak. They were even afraid of a powerful deity, and they were false gods. Their fear of other deities was far greater than that of humans.
Only the heartless Purple Angel volunteered to come out and accompany Salin.
Of course, he wanted to accompany Raphael.
Arriving at the edge of the Purgatory Desert, Salin landed and simply walked into the desert. He slowed down slightly, thinking about what troubles he still had with the Goddess. In fact, he had already thought about it before coming, and even sent Nelis and the Winged Skeleton away.
He had used up the Divine Spark, and the Goddess would not mind. This thing is my prize. Otherwise, how can I resurrect Myers?
