Heart of the Castle

Chapter 750 The Battering Hammer Breaking through the Sky

After seeing the super-giant battering ram summoned by Li Wei and others, although they did not utter an unceremonious reprimand like Cardinal St. Belikov, the attitudes of most of the priests in the Shining Temple were also different. Show some hostility.Among the teachings they have received, the abyssal demons are of course the undoubted mortal enemy of the Glory Temple, and any organization or individual who tries to use the power of demons, no matter whether the purpose is good or otherwise, will eventually fall into darkness because of this, and from then on No exceptions.

Regardless of Cardinal St. Bogdan's obstruction, Chief Layton of the Hammer of Judgment quickly walked towards Li Wei and stretched out his powerful hands towards him.Seeing Chief Layton approaching, Sir Rodriguez's right hand moved slightly, as if he wanted to block it, but then he felt relieved - he didn't notice any hostility from the Chief Chief. Instead, it was filled with real anxiety and worry.

"Your Excellency Li Wei, please listen to a word from me, a devout believer of the Lord of Glory." Jean Layton said loudly in a sincere tone, while holding Li Wei's arm, "The power of darkness is indeed powerful, and it is full of temptations for everyone. However, what is contained in it is not only power, but also subtle and depraved thoughts. I have seen many people with good intentions fall into darkness, and I have seen many strong-willed people who eventually become followers of evil gods... You Unlike them, I can sense that you haven't been truly assimilated by the power of darkness, so please get rid of the temptation of darkness while it's still early."

Li Wei had a polite and alienated smile at first, but when Chief Layton was halfway through speaking, the facial expression of the young regent had changed to a solemn and sincere one. For such a truly respectable believer of glory, he had no reason Think of it as the corrupt power of the Shining Temple. "Mr. Chief Layton, thank you for reminding me of the horror of the dark power." Li Wei replied frankly, "But I'm afraid you made a mistake. I have never been in contact with the dark power, let alone Seduced and assimilated by the forces of darkness."

"No contact?" Chief Layton showed a surprised expression on his face, then he raised his hand and pointed at the giant battering ram behind Li Wei, "Your Excellency, is there no dark force behind you?" A powerful creation? Could it be that the power lingering around this battering ram belongs to the abyssal demon family?"

"Your Excellency, Lord Regent of the Kingdom of Arthur, you must immediately make a promise to renounce all powers, weapons, and magic related to demons, and accept a detailed inspection of the northern county of the Kingdom of Arthur by the clergymen sent by the Temple of Radiance to ensure that no Similar incidents will happen." Cardinal St. Belikov's tone was much tougher than Leighton's, and his originally cold face was now as hard as a stone, revealing an uncompromising stubbornness. "Otherwise, the Glory Alliance will regard you as a friend of darkness, and all the original covenants will be void!"

Li Wei turned his head and looked at Cardinal St. Belikov with piercing eyes. When he answered, his tone was strong and unyielding, "Dear Cardinal St. Belikov, please forgive my offense, You made the same mistake as Commander Jean Layton. You accused me of being in contact with dark forces, and I was even a friend of darkness and an enemy of light. Therefore, with the powerful influence of the Glory Temple, it will be difficult to convince the public, right?"

Cardinal St. Bogdan let out a sarcastic sneer, and then Grand Duke Zandora of the Kingdom of Deldes, His Majesty King Philip II of the Kingdom of Floresa, and Prince Locke of the Kingdom of Sigis joined in.Especially the latter's laughter was particularly loud, and his expression was equally exaggerated, as if this could cover up his poor performance when he was facing danger just now.

"Your Excellency Leviston, since you said this, please answer Brother Jean Leighton's question directly." Cardinal St. Bogdan spoke slowly, his tone seemed fair, but there was a slight sinister hidden in it, "This A battering ram is probably the most powerful siege machine I have ever seen in my life, but this shape... and the dark power contained in it all run counter to the light. It is not a creation of dark power, what else can it be? ?”

"A great sage in the ancient Asian country in the east once said that judging the essence of a matter by its appearance will make people miss the opportunity to discover the true root." Mr. Dish's old voice sounded from another direction, with a polite tone And aggressive, "As for the power contained in this battering ram, Cardinal St. Bogdan, if your eyes are not blinded by pride, you should be able to fully perceive the source of this power."

"What power? What deception?" Cardinal St. Bogdan showed a cold and cruel smile on his face, "This thing is obviously forged with dark magic, and the appearance that is no different from the abyssal demon can be ignored for the time being. That kind of evil fluctuation is too obvious, as a devout follower of the Lord of Radiance, I can't even distinguish it!"

"If the evil wave you're talking about is the abyss dirt copper... this kind of alchemy material, then I really have nothing to say." Mr. Dish shrugged and spread his hands, the expression on his face clearly showed pity , "Lord Cardinal St. Bogdan, I heard that there are several alchemy masters in the Temple of Glory, so can you ask them to use Abyss Stained Copper to make alchemy items? Is it an act of falling into darkness?"

A look of surprise flashed across the face of Cardinal St. Bogdan. He didn't have much accomplishment in alchemy, but at least he knew something about it.Although the name Abyss Stained Copper is very strange to him, since Mr. Dish dared to bring it up for his research, I am afraid there is really nothing worth criticizing.

Just as he imagined, in the camp of the Shining Temple, a bearded middle-aged man wearing an alchemist's robe and a master badge on his chest pondered for a moment, then nodded decisively. "Indeed, the fluctuations in power come from the material itself, the Abyss Stained Copper... Lord of Glory, how much Abyss Stained Copper did you use on this battering ram? How many are used?"

"Shenguo Alchemy Flying Ship?" Startled Chief Layton, he asked urgently, "Master Xiuda, you mean that the vehicle of His Majesty Pope Nicholas also used... Abyss Stained Copper This material?"

"Yes, Commander Layton." The bearded alchemist puffed out his chest, and his tone of voice carried the unquestionable flavor of speaking for authority, "Abyss dirt copper is a very precious alchemy material. , is an irreplaceable thing in many alchemy magic array sequences. The magic furnaces and control cores of the flying ships of the Kingdom of God and the Judgment of Light have used a considerable amount of abyss copper, and the lack of these materials is also the reason. That's why we couldn't bring the two airships back to their prime."

"But... Abyss Copper, this word is always reminiscent of Abyss Purgatory, and this kind of power fluctuation is also very disgusting!" Cardinal St. Bogdan insisted, frowning.

The bearded alchemist glanced at him indifferently, "My lord, Cardinal St. Bogdan, alchemy is a profound knowledge, and in alchemy, there is no distinction between evil and good materials. Abyss dirt copper It is indeed produced in some planes of Abyss Purgatory, but a small amount of Abyss Stained Copper Powder can catalyze most materials. Many bright magic circles need to use this precious alchemy material—even the glorious bishop in your hand The scepter is also mixed with one-thousandth of abyss copper powder!"

Cardinal St. Bogdan backed away half a step with a pale face, and the arm muscles holding the scepter of the glorious bishop tensed up.He still wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw the faces of the other people present, including the vast majority of the priests of the Temple of Radiance, with expressions of "that's how it is", he could only try his best to restrain the emotion in his heart. Disappointed, he nodded and apologized to Levi Stone.

"Sorry, Your Excellency Li Wei, our misunderstandings and doubts have caused you a lot of trouble, please forgive me, but these are all due to our ignorance of alchemy, not malicious doubts."

"Misunderstandings without malicious intent can be completely forgiven, Cardinal St. Bogdan." Li Wei replied pointedly, and then turned his attention to Mr. Dish.

"Master Frederick, how sure are you of using this giant battering ram to pry open the gate of the Dark Fortress?"

"Before the actual confrontation, we can't talk about certainty." Mr. Dish replied carefully, "However, based on my estimation based on the strength of the dark fortress in the legend, the probability of success should be more than [-]%."

"Then start preparing to attack!" An excited smile appeared on Li Wei's face, and then the knight sword jumped out of the scabbard with a clanging sound, pointing directly at the sky. "Subjects of the Kingdom of Arthur! Nearly a year has passed. We have recharged our batteries and never dared to forget the powerlessness and sorrow at the beginning. Now it is time to settle with the abyssal demon. To restore the capital of the king, Fermeyer, currently!"

Shouts like raging waves roared from tens of thousands of throats, and then resounded through the sky, shaking so much that even the thick white mist shrouded in the dark fortress trembled, as if there were countless beasts galloping and jumping inside, preparing to attack the demon guards in the dark fortress. The army launched a strong and powerful attack!
