The Beginning of Panlong: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 119 The Uninvited Guest

As a master of Hogg stone carving, it is natural that he will receive banquets every time he goes to the Proulx Hall.

This is especially true in the main hall of Proulx Hall.

As soon as he arrived, Director Maia had already asked people to prepare a banquet for Hoge.

But on this day, all we actually ate was simple meals.

After all, a real "banquet" must be called "invitation" at least three days in advance. If there is a banquet on the same day, it is just "invitation".

The formal banquet was held on the seventh day after Hogg arrived in Clear City.

On this day, the lobby of the Wardley Hotel in Clear City was booked by the Proulx General Hall to entertain the master of stone carving, Horton Baruch.

Just like how Hogg was treated in the Rhine Empire and the Magnolia Empire.

At the banquet, several stone carving masters chatted with each other, made connections, or exchanged stone carving experiences. This was also a grand event in the stone carving world.

There was a lot of fun at the banquet.

Director Maia also asked Hogg to leave his works as a joke.

However, Hogg smiled and did not directly agree, but he also did not refuse.

He planned to leave a stone sculpture, but his "plan" was just a plan. If he really couldn't carve it out, he wouldn't force it.

But if you really promised Director Maia, you would have to leave a stone sculpture anyway.

Director Maia didn't know if he saw Hogg's intention, but he also changed the topic.

After drinking and drinking, everyone talked about stone carvings and stories.A happy scene.Although there are some people who compete for power and suppress newcomers in the stone carving circle, it is relatively pure.

At the banquet, there wasn’t much intrigue among everyone.

However, outside the hall, three figures were approaching.

The Proulx General Hall had reserved the lobby of the Wardley Hotel to host a banquet for Hogg, so the security work was naturally done very well.

Just at the entrance of the banquet hall, there was an eighth-level warrior leading a guard, and there were a group of sixth-level and fifth-level warriors patrolling the surrounding area.

They will prevent any unexpected situation from disturbing the communication among this group of stone carving masters.

unless. . .The visitor's status is particularly high.

He is so tall that he is far higher than the store manager of Waldli Hotel or the senior executives of Proulx General Hall.

These guards were so powerful that they couldn't even report, so they could only get out of the way.

Suddenly, the door of the banquet hall opened.

Three figures walked in.

A pair of eyes looked over.

Among the three people who came, the leader was a white-haired old man, wearing a gorgeous golden robe. There were strange black words floating on the surface of the robe, making him look very mysterious and noble.

There were two people behind the old man in gold clothes, both of whom seemed to be dressed as bodyguards.

A young man wearing a very ordinary black robe, but with a formidable aura about him.

The other person was wearing a black robe with red stripes and a strange-shaped sword on his back. He looked middle-aged.

Curator Maia frowned slightly and looked at the person.Then the slight frown turned into fear, but a happy expression appeared on his face.

"Elder Jeffrey, why is it you? And these two adults... please come in, please come in."

"Director Maia, I didn't hear that you hosted a banquet for the stone carving masters of our Dark Alliance today. I am also a lover of stone sculptures, so I naturally have to come and see it. Director, you won't blame me for coming uninvited."

Elder Jeffrey in golden robes said, "As for these two, they are the adjudicators of our Dark Church, and we are all lovers of stone sculptures."

"No, no, welcome to the arrival of the three adults... Masters, let me introduce you, this one is the golden-robed elder Jeffrey of the Dark Vatican."

Curator Maia emphasized the word "golden robe".

In the Dark Holy See, the clergy are called "elder", which is generally equivalent to the "priest" of the Light Holy See.

The golden-robed elder is the cardinal of the Holy See of Light, with a high position of authority.There are only eight golden-robed elders in the entire Dark Holy See.

As for the adjudicators, they are equivalent to the special deacons in the Inquisition in the Holy See of Light. They are usually held by ninth-level warriors who practice dark fighting spirit.

Compared with the golden-robed elders, the adjudicators have similar status, but they are not as high-ranking and powerful. They complete many tasks in a low-key manner and serve as guards.

but. . .They are more awe-inspiring than the golden-robed elders.Because they are also responsible for "executing heretics"!
The stone carving masters and nobles listened to the conversation between Director Maia and the golden-robed elder, and felt awe-inspiring in their hearts.

They are somewhat afraid of the golden-robed elders and the judges.

The master of stone carving has a high status, but compared to an elder in golden robe, he is still inferior.

More importantly, although most of the stone carving masters also have some martial arts, they are only seventh- and eighth-level warriors at most, while the golden-robed elder must be a ninth-level dark mage.

Art itself has value, so artists are respected and have status.

But strength is more essential and more purely a reason for respect than status.

These stone carving masters may be a little noble, but at least they are not willing to offend the golden-robed elder, and some even intend to curry favor with him.

Curator Maia, however, looked at each other and gave a slight warning with his eyes.

Hogg understood and understood what Director Maia meant.

The reason still lies with lei.

Although Lin Lei is now a sixth-level magician (on the surface), his talent has already emerged.

Although it is not as exaggerated as the second magic genius in Yulan history in the original historical trajectory, it is still valued by all forces.

Even Hogg didn't know that the Dark Holy See's Anzi buried in the Holy Alliance had come into contact with Lin Lei, and even suspected that Lin Lei had reached the level of a seventh-level magician.

Not even the Holy See of Light knew about this news, and it was only by chance that the dark son of the Holy See of Darkness got a glimpse of this secret.

If this is true, according to the rules, it is very likely that Lin Lei will become a Holy Magister.

The existence of the Holy Magister is compared to that of a master stone carver. . .There is no comparability at all.

Stone carving masters may be even rarer. Currently, there are not as many stone carving masters in the entire Magnolia Continent as there are powerful men from the Holy Domain of the Dark Holy See.

But for the six major forces, the Holy Magister and the Holy Domain Warrior are the foundation of their status.

Master of stone carving?

For the top Sanctuary beings, that is really a joke.Will one more stone carving master or even a stone carving master have an impact on the top combat power, or on the overall national strength?

nothing!
In particular, Linley is also a magician of both earth and wind elements.

Not to mention dual-type magicians, their fighting styles are more varied, they have more methods, and their combat effectiveness is stronger.

This wind magician alone is an extremely special existence among magicians.

Wind magicians can fly at level five. As long as they are well prepared, even level nine warriors can't do anything to them.

The ninth-level wind magician has the "vacuum killing technique", which is a wind magic that is said to have enough magic power to kill the Holy Land.

And the wind-type holy magician can release the most powerful single-target attack magic "Dimensional Blade".

The Dimensional Blade is the most terrifying and even invincible magic under the god level.

Regardless of whether it is the peak of the holy realm or the ultimate limit of the holy realm, facing the attack of the dimensional blade, it is impossible to resist and can only choose to dodge.

If you can't avoid it, then only some special sanctuaries that can be cut into two pieces but still survive can save your life. Otherwise, you will definitely die if you are really hit by the dimensional blade.

If Lin Lei can be recruited, maybe a strong man at the pinnacle of the holy realm will be born in a hundred years, such as the Pope of Light and the leader of the ascetics.

For the six major forces, who wouldn't want such a genius?
Although Linley was born in the Holy Alliance and studied at Ernst College. . .But after all, he has not truly joined the Holy See of Light, and is now just a "student".

For a young man like Lin Lei, the biggest influence on him is his parents and relatives.

If we look at the bright side, the Dark Holy See sent a golden-robed elder to invite Hogg and Linna to make friends with each other and improve their goodwill. This can influence Linley's choice and give him a higher probability of choosing to join the Dark Holy See. .

From a vicious perspective, if the golden-robed elder takes action to capture Hogg and Linna, although the relationship with Lin Lei will become tense, he may also force Lin Lei to join in the form of threats.

After joining, try to find ways to ease the previous conflicting relationship.

This is also the method used by the Dark Holy See.

And this latter possibility is even greater.

On the surface, Hogg pretended to be calm but felt a little uneasy inside.

In fact, Hogg glanced at one of the "Judges" and felt murderous intent boiling in his heart.
