Cainphas's condition was under control, and a few days later, his injuries began to heal.
But he did not immediately approve the Holy Sanctum's application for weapons research, so Lin Sheng could not disguise himself as an ordinary member of the Holy Sanctum, and go to the school's dark-energy armory to choose weapons.
The Holy Sanctum's explanation was that they would not bring any weapons, and would only let them rest in the armory for a few days.
They said that it was a concession for a weapon enthusiast among the higher-ups of the Holy Sanctum.
But no one would believe such an excuse. At most, it would be used to fool children.
Cainphas knew that the weapons in the Dark-Energy armory were powerful, and if they were to leak out, it could easily cause great damage. So he did not believe that the Holy Sanctum's purpose was pure.
So he kept delaying it.
However, the effects of holy power were greater than he had imagined.
Not long after, Lin Sheng received news from Margret. She had also accepted new members of the Holy Sanctum, the Darksiders.
The young lady did not go back, but continued to travel around the nearby cities, and secretly recruited talents to join the Holy Sanctum.
Practicing Saint power in the Holy Sanctum was very stimulating to the dark powers, and the two complemented each other, and the speed of practice would increase by several times.
This was unimaginable to the Darksiders who were idle among the people. So every Darksider who had the opportunity to come chose to join happily.
Time passed.
Soon, it was time for the first gathering of the Holy Sanctum, and the passing of the Ashen Seals.
Whether it was Madillan, Margret, or the previous member, Melissa. There were even many Darksiders who rushed over from other places.
Everyone put down everything they were doing and rushed to the gathering place.
The temporary Holy Sanctum was chosen by Lin Sheng as one of Madillan's private estates.
The estate was located outside the city, and there was a spacious basement.
7th of December, afternoon. Sunny. The sky was cloudless.
Inside the Blackplum Manor, in the lobby.
Warriors in red armor stood on both sides, and these were ordinary soldiers whose strength was at most close to the level of Transcendents. While they were not high level, but their strong discipline left a deep impression on the guests who had already arrived.
The lobby was bustling, and at a glance, there were at least twenty people standing there.
The weakest among them was at least Two-wing level.
"This is Miga, powerful, complex, but also free."
Lin Sheng, Marguerite, Madillan, and Cainphas stood together in a one-way glass room on the second floor, overlooking the lively scene below.
"Actually, there isn't much freedom." Margaret shook her head. "There are quite a number of unaffiliated people who have been continuously pressured by Carte Blanche's power. They're almost extinct now."
"It's self-study among the people. It's good enough to reach this level," Madillan said with a smile.
"Let's not talk about this. The interests of the Holy Sanctum and Baine are aligned. I hope that the Holy Sanctum can openly cooperate with us to suppress the spread of the Blacktide." Cainphas was recovering well.
His Saint Power had clearly reached Level 3 Transcendent.
At the mention of the Blacktide, his eyes involuntarily drifted to Lin Sheng.
Lin Sheng was wearing white armor and a green crystal mask. He was tall and burly, constantly emitting rings of powerful Saint Power.
"It's our duty to suppress the Blacktide, but Miga's Holy Sanctum has too little manpower. We have no choice but to absorb a few. This way, we can quickly transform our cultivation and stimulate each other. That way, Saint Power can quickly complete its initial accumulation. "
Lin Sheng said calmly. He deliberately used a special voice-changing technology to cover up his original voice.
He did not want his true identity to be seen by old foxes like Cainphas. It was not that he was afraid of being discovered, but he was afraid of trouble.
"The Sevenlocks Tower's raid has caused damage to part of the city. The seal in the school has been broken, and a large amount of the Blacktide has leaked out. We must suppress it as soon as possible, "Cainphas explained in a low voice.
"There's such a thing?" Lin Sheng was surprised.
"Forget it. We'll see later." Cainphas suddenly sighed and said nothing more.
After the veteran dean said nothing, Marguerite went to Lin Sheng and began to report what she had done after she left.
Recruiting, investigating the surrounding situation, determining the development plan for the Holy Sanctum in advance, and at the same time, secretly spending money to spread the holy light. This was the only way to fight against the Blacktide.
Lin Sheng listened to everything Marguerite had done, and felt that she was more suited to run the Holy Sanctum than he was.
"If everything goes smoothly, we will set up an official branch here." Lin Sheng reassured Marguerite. "When that time comes, you will be in charge of the daily affairs here."
"I will work hard!" Marguerite nodded seriously.
She was not from a small family, but one of the great nobles in Olro. Her family background was very powerful, and she had been exposed to many things since she was young. She knew how to deal with things at a glance.
As soon as she came into contact with the Holy Sanctum, she immediately sensed the great potential within.
After a while of discussion on the second floor.
All the people who had joined the Holy Sanctum had also arrived.
There were a total of 28 Darksiders.
It was a terrifying number. Because Darksiders were different from ordinary people.
After they joined the Holy Sanctum and learned Saint power, Saint power and Darksiders would stimulate each other, and the amplification effect was not as simple as one plus one equals two.
That meant that these 28 people before them would leave their peers far behind in the near future, and achieve great things.
After making sure that everyone was present, the red armored warriors began to seal the door. At the same time, they did a headcount.
The Holy Sanctum was not a cult, but a secret sect, and so they had a list of members.
As they did so, they were also secretly sizing up the people around them. Perhaps in the future, they would connect with each other to form a community of interests.
The Holy Sanctum had given them a network of connections, stronger power and faith.
Lin Sheng gave them some time.
About half an hour later, he slowly got up, walked out of the blockade on the second floor, and went downstairs to stand at the most conspicuous position.
A small and delicate loudspeaker was placed there.
Lin Sheng stood in front of the microphone as his eyes scanned the crowd, and quietly waited for everyone to quiet down.
The clamor quickly died down. Every Darksider who came here knew their purpose for coming here.
The Ashen Seal.
This was what the Holy Sanctum had informed everyone about at the beginning. It was something that would allow them to have new and powerful abilities other than Darksiders. At the same time, it could increase the speed of Saint power training.
Also, everyone was curious. This man in white armor who walked out might be the person in charge of the Holy Sanctum here.
What would he say? Gathering everyone here, the Holy Sanctum could not just be a white flower that only gave without demand.
So, everyone was prepared to pay the price.
Lin Sheng's face under the mask smiled slightly as he stood in front of the microphone and spoke in a low voice.
"I'm very happy. To be able to talk and communicate with everyone face to face about the Blacktide. "
"My name is Taros Seagal, an orphan who was rescued from the slums by the Holy Sanctum." He began to speak freely again.
