The young man looked at his teacher in confusion. Jeice was indeed one of Faka's most important subordinates, but it wasn't necessary for the Oracle to deal with this matter personally, right?
Although the core of the Holy Church was located in Glory City, there were hundreds of thousands of believers in Oracle City. When they prayed, Faka's name was in their prayers. Although this was the glory that God gave to the first Oracle, before Faka, no Oracle could accept such glory with peace of mind.
No one knew if the believers would miss the God of Light when they prayed. But everyone knew that Faka had completely changed the structure of the Holy Church.
For the first time, the number of churches and believers controlled by the Oracles was close to the number controlled by the Cardinal Council. At this time, the Inquisition finally got rid of the suppression of the Cardinal Council.
As long as the Oracle said a word, the believers would feel like they heard an oracle.
The Cardinal Council could no longer control all the believers, and the Inquisition believed that darkness was also one of the will of God.
Faka, who was now second only to Pope Diosini, would personally take action for Jeice! Just a white-robed bishop. A trace of disdain appeared on the young man's face.
"Etta, you have to understand the principle of humility in order to become the seventh Oracle. Genaris has been dead for a long time, and no oracle has been passed down. This is an opportunity for you, "Faka said emotionlessly.
The young man named Etta raised his eyebrows, lowered his head, and didn't refute his teacher's words. He knew how proud his teacher was. Although the God of Light personally sent down an oracle and gave Faka the virtue of humility, Faka's words made Etta a little excited.
Faka's words made Etta a little excited. He lowered his head to hide his emotions. Genaris snuck into the Qin Yin Empire and was killed by an unknown sorcerer. The position of the fifth Oracle was empty. In the past, there would be mages from the Cardinal Council who coveted this position, but with Faka, everything had to listen to the first Oracle.
The God of Light hadn't sent down an oracle, and the Cardinal Council didn't dare to act recklessly. The position of the fifth Oracle was replaced by the sixth Oracle, and the original seventh Oracle became the sixth Oracle. Now the position of the seventh Oracle was empty.
The seventh Oracle had the virtue of generosity. Etta did not feel that she was being very generous, but if her teacher could become the First Divine Emissary and receive God's favor, what else could not happen? With his teacher's support, those white-robed bishops could only watch helplessly as he ascended to the position of Oracle.
Deity was in charge of the Kingdom of Heaven, while Myers Continent was the world of Saints.
In the Chaos Swamp, after the three Sovereign Kings blew their top, they completely cleaned up the ground and used absolute violence to destroy the last of the mines. In the remaining mines, Salin unexpectedly found the Green Spirit.
After discovering this, Salin lost his composure and laughed out loud. Both he and Ainphent felt that this was God's will. These Green Spirits were extremely precious and could be used to seal a large number of summoned creatures. Salin only had one piece of the Green Spirit left, and it was a little troublesome to deal with the Three Lords. He couldn't let Diabinas and Banchagana live in Daniel's flames, could he?
If that was the case, Salin would definitely not be at ease.
The three Sovereign Kings had nowhere to vent their frustrations, so they returned to the surface and cleared the black puppets on the ground. The Black Magician had long escaped and did not fight directly with Sala's army at all. Now that Jeice was dead, Faka would not spare them. The only thing they wanted to do now was to rush to the hinterland of Myers Continent — the Purgatory Desert.
Praying for the Black Satan's forgiveness was far easier than asking for Faka's forgiveness.
In their rage, the three Sovereign Kings did not notice the uniqueness of the Spirit Gathering Beasts. Countless black puppets, armored puppets, headless horsemen, and other creatures created by black magic were killed, and more than 30 Spirit Gathering Beasts were condensed. These Spirit Gathering Beasts did not continue to attack. Instead, they quietly retreated as if they had received some order.
"Let's go!" Sala walked out of the teleportation array in high spirits. Although he did not obtain anything left behind by the Second Dynasty Magician, this remaining mine provided him with a lot of gems. In addition, the Three Sovereign Kings were under control, so Salin was already satisfied.
Temporarily subduing the Three Sovereign Kings, as long as the Vatican did not send an army, small disturbances would no longer threaten his city. Unfortunately, the strength of the Three Sovereign Kings had declined again. His and Ainphent's levels were still too low, limiting the Three Sovereign Kings' power.
Thousands of undead were driven back to the Undead Plane by the Three Sovereign Kings. The pirates did not lose too many people this time. At the end of the chaotic battle, there were still 62 pirates left. The size of the team was reduced by half, but Salin still carefully rushed back along the way they came. There were many hard-to-find cracks on the ground of the Chaotic Swamp. In winter, when covered with snow, it became a natural trap. The route chosen by Salin was very safe. It was the route that Nelis broke through during her escape.
Relying on the leg power of the Skeleton Warhorses, the team almost did not stop to rest. In less than three days, they passed through the forest at the edge of the Chaotic Swamp and returned to the outskirts of Deep Forest Town. Salin did not delay in this small town that already belonged to him. The pirates only had a sound sleep in bed. The next day, they immediately set off and rushed back to the city base.
The team moved quickly on horseback. The Phoenix Duchy was a little depressed in winter and lacked vitality. The gates of the towns along the way were basically closed. There were no merchants. Salin did not disturb those nobles and simply spent the night in the wild. With such a rapid march, the team soon entered the wilderness in the north.
"Sir, do you want to rest?" Zola also got on his Skeleton Warhorse. Now, he was basically on Salin's left side and rarely left. Seeing that Salin was tired from the journey, he suggested that Salin find a city to rest.
Salin only slowed down the speed of the Skeleton Warhorse and said to Zola, "It's better to go back as soon as possible. You don't know who I've offended. I keep feeling uneasy."
Zola said, "The Church is tens of thousands of miles away. What trouble can there be? Furthermore, there's …"
"It's precisely because of them that I feel uneasy. Let's go back and talk." Salin did not argue with Zola. He only increased the speed of the Skeleton Warhorse.
Towards the end, the Magical Beasts of the four Magical Beast Swordsmen were already lying on the ground from exhaustion. Salin made up his mind to give up on these four Magical Beasts. He provided the Magical Beast Swordsmen with four Skeleton Warhorses and continued forward. On the dull and monotonous snowy ground, such a small team advanced at an alarming speed. The Magical Beast Swordsmen did not resist. Their Magical Beasts were all low-level and not nurtured from young. Giving them up was not a big deal.
Moving twice as fast as before, Salin brought the team back to the base of the city. He saw from afar the foundations of the city walls that had not yet been built on the outskirts of the base of the city. He felt a little more at ease. With these years of experience, he believed in his instincts. That was why he rushed back. Seeing that the base of the city was fine, Salin finally heaved a sigh of relief.
It's time to build a Teleportation Formation, Salin thought to himself.
Teleportation Formations were not only used to send people. Most Teleportation Formations were used to send letters. The difference between sending a letter and sending a person was like heaven and earth. Even with the special outer casing of the letter, the cost of sending a letter was a hundred times cheaper than sending a living person.
Salin could quickly obtain information after building the Teleportation Formation. At least between Kushui Prefecture and the base of the city, Salin would no longer have to worry about the lack of information.
Long distance Teleportation Formations required the consumption of special materials. These materials were easy to obtain, but they were expensive.
The city walls on the west side of the base of the city had not yet been built. From afar, there was only the base of the wall. Zola was greatly disappointed when he saw the base of the wall. This was like a village that had been abused by bandits. How was this a city?
Salin smiled and patted Zola's shoulder, saying, "There's still a few miles to go. Why are you in such a hurry?"
In Salin's city plan, the west wall was finally pushed to a position six miles west of the temple. That way, the area of the city would be large enough to accommodate thirty-six Magic Towers.
Zola didn't comment, but when he continued eastward and followed Salin to the administrative center to the west of the Divine Temple, Zola opened his mouth wide, not daring to believe that there would be such a magical building in this almost ruined city.
The nine-story administrative center was built entirely of white stone. The main entrance had more than a hundred steps and wide pillars. Even though it took up an extremely large area, it did not seem bloated. Instead, it was like a Magic Tower, with a kind of slender beauty. This was entirely due to the magic patterns on the building. When Salin had designed it, this administrative center could be used as a fortress for battle.
Even though Zola was experienced and knowledgeable, he was still amazed by this colossus. When Salin brought him to the front of the temple, Zola was completely speechless.
He had originally thought that he already had a sufficiently proud heart under his dissolute appearance. He did not expect …
He did not expect that his lord would actually dare to live in such a house. No wonder the lord did not hesitate to give the order to kill the high ranking members of the Church when she discovered them. It looked like the conflict between the lord and the Church was really deep. Before meeting him, the lord and the Church were already like fire and water. Was it a little rash for him to rely on such a Spellcaster?
The tear stain on his back trembled slightly in its scabbard. Zola shivered. What was wrong with him? Even though he did not believe in loyalty, he should not suddenly feel a sense of fear just because his lord's enemy was powerful, right? What was there to be afraid of about that bunch of charlatans? Would the Church send a group of Holy Knights to hunt them down from tens of thousands of miles away?
His lord had a powerful undead summon, plus himself and four Magical Beast Swordsmen, as well as this well-established city. Even if he were to face a medium-sized army, he would not have to be afraid.
Salin arranged for the pirates to return to the campsite. He brought the five newly recruited Sword Saints into the temple.
"Now, I will give you a chance. You can choose to leave," Salin said calmly to the five Sword Saints. Only Ainphent was by his side. Daniel was not around.
