"Did you encounter a strange sunflower?"
At the Central District Academy of Sciences, Archbishop Henry looked at the monks in black kneeling in front of him and asked: "That sunflower can still see through the ancient magic shadow?"
"Yes, Your Excellency the Archbishop." The pale Basil had not yet recovered from the shock.
"The darker the place, the more the mud shadow can hide its body and aura. It is an excellent sneaking magic that can see through the existence of mud shadow..."
Archbishop Henry fell into deep thought, wondering if the cold breath he felt was coming from that sunflower?
In addition to Edward who appeared on the battlefield, when did the Church of Truth have such a powerful supernatural being?
Prior to this, Mavie Enders and others disappeared for more than a month. After returning, the Church of Truth had one more sunflower that could see through the mud...
After thinking about it, Archbishop Henry still felt that the sunflower had something to do with Ma Wei's disappearance for more than a month. He asked Basil and the others to step back, opened the secret door behind the bookcase, and walked into a small, narrow room.
The room is covered with a red carpet, and there is a circular stone platform in the middle. On the stone platform is a beautifully carved wooden statue. Around the wooden statue, there are also five human limbs such as skulls and leg bones. The bone parts are placed at the sharp corners of the five-pointed star array.
After closing the secret door, Archbishop Henry took out a thumb-sized black vial from his collar, opened the cork, and poured a wriggling white silkworm onto the stone platform.
Later, Archbishop Henry stood in front of the stone platform, bit his finger, squeezed out a few drops of blood, and dropped it in front of the white silkworm.
"Ancient Magic....The Chamber of the Gods."
In the murmur, the white silkworm swallowed Archbishop Henry's blood, and its white body suddenly turned red, spitting out strips of red silk. The silk flew out, wrapped around the wooden statue, and was placed at the sharp corner of the five-pointed star array. The human bones here were connected, like a substantial light swimming among the silk threads, and soon the five-pointed star array was activated.
Five illusory black shadows appeared above the stone platform according to the position of the human bones, floating, and their appearance could not be seen clearly.
"Henry, why are you looking for us so late?" The black figure at the skull position spoke, his voice was hoarse, and he was an old man.
Archbishop Henry took out a brown wooden box from his arms. The box was completely sealed with a ring of gold. When it was shaken, there would be an ethereal echo inside, as if someone was ringing a bell in a quiet alley in the dead of night.
"It has issued a warning." Archbishop Henry said: "What can cause it to be vigilant must be some extremely powerful supernatural existence or object. I suspect that the Church of Truth has obtained something, so it summoned you late at night."
The shadows were silent for a long time and asked, "Didn't you send someone to investigate?"
"The people who were sent out said they saw a strange sunflower. I wasn't sure what it was, so I didn't dare to act rashly."
After a pause, Archbishop Henry added: "A few days ago, I felt the breath of Anatole in the east. In addition to the great her, there are also many intertwined divine powers. What happened to the east? "
"An ancient divine kingdom wanted to return, but Anatole and other gods prevented their arrival... As for the sunflower you mentioned, Anatole gave me a hint that it is the descendant of the alchemy tree and is very precious. .”
"The descendant of the Alchemy Divine Tree?" Archbishop Henry asked doubtfully: "Is it the Alchemy Divine Tree recorded in the secret treasure left by the Apocalypse Cult?"
"That's it." The black shadow gave an affirmative reply: "It was the supreme god in the era of the sacred tree. It was planted by the ancient god Ahis. Since Ahis disappeared, it has also disappeared, and there is only one seed. Stay, and that seed fell into the hands of the gods of the Golden Age. Now that it reappears in the world, it will definitely cause a storm."
"If that's the case..." Archbishop Henry suggested: "How about I take it away?"
"Anatole said that the sunflower is just a seedling now and does not have much power. It would be foolish to go to war for it. Your mission is to find the key left by Neleyinda, and at the same time, suppress the expansion speed of the Church of Truth to ensure that When the day of prophecy comes, we can destroy the Church of Truth in one fell swoop and continue the glory of the Age of Apocalypse.”
"The prophecy says that the next era will be the Age of the Gods."
"The Age of Gods is just the beginning. It represents the resurrection of the gods. As long as we get rid of them, the era will belong to us." Black Shadow said coldly.
"I understand." Archbishop Henry nodded.
"The war is coming to an end. You must be careful of the Church of Truth and not let them find opportunities for development. Anatole has high hopes for you. After my death... you are qualified to compete for the position of the Pope."
Archbishop Henry kissed his fingers and said piously: "All things will cease, but wisdom will last forever."
"Remember, after the war is over, you will become the biggest obstacle to the development of the Church of Truth. They will definitely try to get rid of you. Don't show your face easily. Don't be impatient. No matter how the Church of Truth tempts you, you must remain calm. It is difficult to not prevent their goddess from becoming a true god, but also to hinder their development.... This is difficult, but we believe you can do it."
"I will try my best."
“When you encounter difficulties, seek our help.”
"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope."
The black shadows floating in the air slowly disappeared, the silkworms wrapped around the wooden statues and human bones turned into ashes and disappeared. The red silkworms turned white again and lay weakly on the stone platform, motionless.
Archbishop Henry put it back into the small black bottle and carefully put it away together with the brown wooden box.
Looking at the wooden statue in the center of the five-pointed star array, Archbishop Henry recalled His Majesty the Pope's words of advice to him, kissed his fingers again, his eyes gradually changed from gentle to indifferent:
"Marve Enders, let's start from here..."
....................................................
The next day, Mawei called Daniel and Yunia into the study very early in the morning and began to teach them how to deal with trivial matters in the church. He also put the requests made by believers on the table one by one to see what opinions and ways of handling they could come up with.
Surprisingly, Daniel handled these trivial matters very well and in an orderly manner, without any feeling of panic. On the contrary, Yunia said that he was stumbling and not familiar with handling trivial matters.
If you think about it carefully, this is actually not surprising. It has been less than half a year since Yunia came. Church affairs have been handled by Ma Wei, and she does not need to be responsible or worried about anything at all. As the crown prince, Daniel has already been with William Under the guidance of the fifth generation, they came into contact with the government affairs of the kingdom. The experience level of both parties was not at the same level.
Yunia still has a lot to learn, and Ma Wei believes that he has enough time to teach her and cultivate a true and worthy...
Goddess of Truth.
Near noon, Daniel had lunch and went to the yard to train with Wen Wen. Since Wen Wen became serious, he also became much more serious and began to effectively teach the court swordsmanship he had learned to Wen Wen.
Taking advantage of the lunch break, Ma Wei began to plan how to "lead the snake out of the hole" and lead Archbishop Henry out of the heavily guarded Central District Academy of Sciences, and then...
Get rid of him.
This requires a careful plan. Ma Wei will never underestimate the enemy. He thinks that with Yunia, he is invincible and has nothing to fear. This idea is stupid. How can there be anything truly invincible in the world?
However...
While Ma Wei was drinking tea, taking a break and organizing plans, cheers suddenly rang out from the street outside the door.
Ma Wei walked out of the church, stopped a passing believer, and asked, "What happened?"
Seeing that the person who stopped him was Ma Wei, the believer quickly pressed his chest, silently recited a word of praise to the goddess, and said excitedly:
"Father, late last night, Her Royal Highness Katerina led a cavalry to attack the royal capital of Petersburg! The enemy retreated! Our flag was re-planted on the top of the Winter Palace! The war is over! We have won!"
"Light shines on Romanov!"
