what to do?
Bishop Greco looked at the picture in the magic projection with a livid face. His confidence in the previous plan had been shattered by Vivian.
At this time, his cronies came running from outside the door of the chamber, and the new news that came anxiously in his ears made Greco even more unable to sit still.
"Your Majesty Bishop, this is the third time that the city guards have asked us for help. If we don't respond, I'm worried... I'm worried that those people will rush in directly."
"And the attitude of the nobles...the nobles have also changed. Their collective tone has changed, and they have begun to put pressure on us, asking us to immediately leave the city for reinforcements."
asshole!
A bunch of moths who only know how to see the wind!
There are three major forces in Huodian City, the Vulcan Cult, the Nobles, and the Knights of the City Guards. Originally, the Nobles were not willing to divide their power within the city and still took care of things outside the city, but now public opinion and public sentiment are fermenting. , even nobles have to pretend to show their attitude.
The other two major forces were already on opposite sides, and Greco had no choice but to compromise.
However, compromise is a compromise, and some small actions in private must still be done. Otherwise, even if the Vulcan Sect goes out of the city to reinforce this time, they will not gain much reputation.
"Josip!" Greco called in a cold voice to the deacon sitting below, holding a stick and his lower body tied with a plaster.
"You told me before that you knew the spell caster in the sky outside the city?"
"Yes! That's right, I... I will never forget her appearance in my life!" Joseph stared at the little girl's face in the projection, his voice was filled with gritted teeth and a faint trembling of fear.
"Her...her name is Vivian. She comes from the small village near the northern forest. It was she who came to Huodian City for help with Lady Eugenia's Vulcan Order."
"Wait! You said she holds Eugenia's Vulcan Order?" Greco keenly grasped what he thought was the key point.
"yes..."
"Haha, it turns out they are members of my own family! Who said that our Vulcan Cult will not save anyone even if they die? Didn't we send our new bishop to save the situation a long time ago?"
"New...new bishop???" Deacon Joseph stood dumbfounded on the spot.
But Greco had no time to pay attention to him.
Seeing that the bishop turned his face as fast as turning the page in a book, Greco laughed loudly and patted his legs, stood up from the chair, waved his hand and gave the order with dignity.
"Everyone, come out of the city with me and help support Bishop Vivian in defeating the monsters!"
"No, no, no, no, wait a minute, Lord Greco, that Vivian just holds Lady Eugenia's Vulcan Order, she doesn't..."
Only then did Josep realize that he thought Greco had misunderstood his words and was anxious to explain.
Can...
"I don't care if she had it before, but this girl now is the fourth bishop of our Vulcan Cult."
"do you understand?"
Greco interrupted directly and glanced coldly at the little deacon whose lower body was almost disabled.
He seemed to be saying this to Joseph, but in fact he also said it to other Vulcan deacons below who also couldn't understand.
From here we can see the difference between Greco and others and why he can become a bishop.
What was originally a dead game was brought to life by him.
As long as Vivian is forcibly linked to their Vulcan Cult, not only will they no longer have to worry about being accused by others of pretending to be dead and doing nothing at the beginning, but they will also be able to take credit for Vivian's achievements. Yes, it turns into the credit and reputation of the entire Vulcan Cult.
As a price, it was just another nominal bishop with no real power. What's more, with the strength shown by Vivian, it was more than enough to be the bishop of the Vulcan Sect.
As for Vivian not agreeing or cooperating?
Greco never thought about it. What a joke. A magic genius from the countryside. No matter how talented he is, he still comes from the countryside. He is poor and has no identity and no background. He can get the title of Bishop of the Vulcan Cult for no reason. Regarding the location, Greco couldn't think of any reason why Vivian would refuse. After all, this is what so many people dream of and covet.
This is not...
"Lord Greco, you...you have no right to do this! This is against the rules! Besides, how can a mudblood from the countryside like Vivian...how can she do this!"
Josep yelled a little madly.
It's no wonder that not only was his lower body almost crippled by the previous Vivian, but he also harbored resentment towards the little girl. But at this moment, he saw that the other party had reached the sky in one step and landed in the position he had only dreamed of. Can Deacon Joseph not go crazy?
You have to pay the price for stupidity.
The answer to Deacon Joseph was the flames rising at his feet.
"Ah...Help! No...Don't!! Ahhh..." Screams rang out in the Vulcan Sect's meeting hall, and the smell of burning filled the air.
After just a few breaths, Josep's body, covered in black coal, fell at Greco's feet.
"Does anyone have any objections?"
"No...no!" All the deacons below responded immediately in unison.
"very good."
Greco nodded with satisfaction. The situation of Archbishop Maggie is unknown at the moment, and the other two other bishops are not here either. He alone controls the voice of the Vulcan Sect.
"Then set off immediately and go out of the city to support our Bishop Vivian!"
"yes!!"
Filing out of the meeting hall, the Vulcan Sect's mages passed through the backup teleportation array one by one, and their figures began to appear outside the city.
Bishop Greco was among them.
However, when he arrived at the battlefield outside the city, the bishop immediately frowned.
I don't know if it was his misunderstanding, but the strange disease that corroded the magic power in his body seemed to have suddenly worsened at this moment.
What's more, what frightened Greco was that he had a mysterious feeling. He always felt that the strange disease in his body seemed to be somewhat similar in origin to the ugly and rotten monsters opposite.
If the strange disease is allowed to worsen, he will also turn into these monsters.
No, absolutely impossible!
Greco quickly suppressed the terrifying thoughts in his heart, which was why he had been unwilling to contribute before.
Magic power is the only way to combat this strange disease, and going out of the city for rescue means consuming magic power, which will worsen the disease.
But since the situation forced him, Bishop Greco could only bear the pain and quietly took out a bottle of potion from his arms.
This is a special pressure medicine made from amethyst grass. Although it is extremely expensive, the key is that it is expensive but not marketable. Therefore, even a bishop like him feels a little pain, but the effect is very significant.
Feeling that the corrosion of magic power caused by the strange disease in his body was temporarily suppressed, Greco dared to go into battle in person.
As a third-level mage, he could also fly into the air and float directly to Vivian's side.
"Miss Vivian, on behalf of Huodian City and the entire Vulcan Sect, I would like to extend my most sincere respect to you! Thank you for helping us gain preparation time during the crisis and saving the lives of tens of thousands of people outside the city. !”
"Now, our Vulcan Sect has been reorganized and almost all are mobilized. I have prepared a rest room for you in the Vulcan Sect. Leave the rest of the situation to me!"
"In addition, you have done well enough. I believe that your teacher Eugenia will be proud of your performance when she gave you the Vulcan Order! You have proven to us and to everyone It proves that you are qualified enough to become the fourth bishop of the Vulcan Cult!"
Greco's words were spot on.
First, he affirmed Vivian's performance, then expressed their Vulcan Cult's cooperative attitude, and finally, he cleverly brought out the words to win over.
He was sure that at this time, Vivian would definitely not have the energy to argue with him about his relationship with Eugenia. He also saw the tiredness on the little girl's face. It was a waste of energy to maintain her halo. Quite a few, let alone maintaining several.
"Okay...then, everyone outside the city, I'll leave it to you first. I, I'm going to take a rest..." Vivian nodded weakly.
Greco was absolutely right. He even greatly underestimated the purity of this little girl's soul. He didn't use any of the backup excuses he had prepared.
Because the other party never thought at all that their behavior was a forced sharing of fame by jumping in line halfway and picking up ready-made products, or in other words, the other party didn't care about such a huge reputation at all.
Vivian only showed some relief on her face.
It seemed that they were able to come to reinforce and the refugees under the city were now completely saved, and they were sincerely happy.
At this moment.
the other side.
In Count Thistle's study.
"Bastards! What a bunch of shameless bastards!" Miss Liz, the daughter of an earl, stamped her feet angrily after seeing this in the magic projection.
Although she didn't know what Bishop Greco and Vivian said.
But when she saw that the little girl was about to retreat, leaving the situation that she had clearly turned around by herself to Greco, Liz was going crazy.
"You're so stupid! So I just hate these civilians. They all have no brains! This is obviously your credit. Why do you let those cowering and then come here to take the credit when the situation improves? You bastard of the Vulcan Cult!"
Liz was furious.
The eldest lady had completely led herself into Vivian, so she was so angry after seeing the little girl's behavior and Greco's cunning.
"Father, is there nothing we can do!?" Liz looked at Earl Thistle with pleading eyes.
But the Count just shook his head.
It can be seen that I don’t know if it’s because I sympathize with Vivian’s experience, or if it’s something else.
But in short, the count was not in a good mood and his face was a little ugly. However, the count still cheered up and responded to his daughter's words.
"Bishop Greco made a good move. I guess he will definitely recruit Vivian to join the Vulcan Cult and make a big announcement to the public. Regardless of whether Vivian accepts or not, the reputation and credit this time will definitely be recognized by everyone. I think it involves the Vulcan Cult."
"However, if you think about it, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Vivian. At least she got rid of her civilian identity and can rely on the big tree of Vulcan Cult. Liz, I think this This should be a win-win situation.”
"But...but..." After the earl's words, although she knew her father was right, Liz still felt unfair and angry for Vivian.
Because obviously Vivian can get more from this.
Robert, the butler next to him, also said to his earl's daughter at this time:
"Miss, you often can't eat a fat man in one bite. People can't always think about wanting it all. Only by losing can you gain. What's more, I see Miss Vivian doesn't seem to be dissatisfied. Even if the Vulcan Sect It’s just to share the credit, but we did make a big effort to support the refugees outside the city and completely save the lives of the refugees. I think this result is what Miss Vivian wants to see.”
As soon as Robert finished speaking, a sudden burst of laughter came from the count's mouth.
"Haha, that's right, that's right."
Earl Thistle seemed to have suddenly swept away his previous gloom, and his complexion immediately improved, even to the point of being a little too good, and he began to look radiant.
"It was all taught by the Earl." Butler Robert bowed slightly and responded to the Earl's compliment.
He thought that the count's happy laughter was because of his analysis.
Little did I know.
Earl Thistle's real gaze has been fixed on the portal.
if...
If his senses were correct and the restless fervent agitation in his body was correct.
That smell...that's...that's it!
Earl Thistle's breathing suddenly accelerated rapidly.
Then, under his fanatical gaze, even though the picture was blurry, there was still a beautiful, snow-white naked foot that made him feel suffocated, followed closely by slender legs that seemed to be covered by a layer of magical black veil, taking the lead. Stepped out of the portal.
That's right! That's right!
That is...
Even though only a small part of his body was exposed, Earl Thistle's mouth was already dry and his whole body was filled with blood. He wished he could kneel down at that foot with his whole body at this moment.
because
That is...
Their divine messenger has arrived in person! ! !
When Shirley completely walked out of the portal.
A humanoid female figure with half a wing behind her back and her hands turned into giant black claws, for the first time, appeared in the eyes of all the people of Huodian City under the magic projection.
"Huh?" Greco, who had just told Vivian to let the little girl leave, naturally noticed something strange in the direction of the portal.
After the Vulcan Bishop saw Shirley, instead of frowning, his eyes showed excitement.
He was worried about how he could gain credit with Vivian.
After all, the little girl's contribution is obvious to all, it is too great, and as the dignified bishop of the Vulcan Cult, he can't lose to the other party, right?
Then you must do something big and eye-catching!
"Hmph! It seems that the mastermind behind this monster wave finally couldn't help but show up!"
"I want to see who he is that has the courage to come and attack our Huodian City!"
Vivian didn't even have time to stop him, Bishop Greco eagerly took the initiative and went straight to Shirley.
As long as he can single-handedly defeat the enemy's leader of this disaster, he will surpass Vivian's contribution and truly become the hero of Quanhuodian City!
Countless reputations and countless achievements.
Even, it is uncertain, it is impossible to say that he can take this opportunity to take over the throne when Archbishop Maggie is about to abdicate, and is called the top of the pyramid of the true Vulcan Cult, the only archbishop!
It was as if the moment Shirley appeared, Greco's brain was completely occupied by desire. Even he didn't notice that the strange disease in his body that was originally suppressed by the amethyst herbal medicine had already broken through the blockade and was corroding. It spread throughout his body, including his brain.
How can you show your strength?
The easiest way is to defeat the person everyone thinks is the strongest.
The script Liao Zixuan designed for Vivian is like this.
And Shirley, she cleverly learned to imitate.
Looking at Greco, who was easily bewitched by himself and flew straight towards him as if to die, this bishop of the Vulcan Cult can be counted with one hand in Huodian City. He is an extremely rare third-level elemental master. .
Shirley...
Licking her lips with her pink tongue.
