The prince of heaven only wants salted fish

The matter of finding Reed's whereabouts was entrusted to Clara - she was a ninth-level magician and the leader of one of the dark forces. In terms of intelligence capabilities, she was definitely better than Jicheng, who was now a loner.

Because of Jicheng’s favor regarding the game console, Clara agreed very readily.

Two months passed, and when the craftsmen of the dwarf clan were almost exhausted, Kagel finally handed over the corresponding number of flying swords.

Each sword is not large in size, but when a thousand swords are piled together, the scene is still very spectacular.

Because the relationship with Jicheng has risen to the level of revolutionary friendship, Clara took the initiative to lend him another space ring this time, and generously said that she did not need to return it for the time being - if she wanted to return it, she could rob the Holy See of Light next time Which nobleman will come back to pay off the debt.

Jicheng simply inspected the thousand swords and then received the goods directly.

After getting the weapons, Clara and others were a little excited: "Didn't you say before that you just needed weapons? What kind of powerful skills are these swords? Can you demonstrate them to us?"

They were so curious, how could they control a thousand swords?

Chen didn’t even have a thousand hands!

Ji Cheng smiled slightly and released one of the swords without any movement. It seemed that the sword automatically floated with just a thought.

Baruch and the others opened their eyes in excitement. Clara wanted to be more knowledgeable. She recalled the previous scene where Jicheng was not a fire magician but could ignite flames, and guessed: "Wind-based levitation technique?"

A juicy smile appeared on Ji Cheng's face again.

Then he released two more flying swords, and then these three flying swords flew in the air in fancy trajectories, and finally attacked Clara's face——

The three flying swords are small and flexible, and people with poor dynamic vision cannot capture their flight trajectories. Clara has been tempering her body with magic power all year round, so it is not difficult to see these flying swords, but the attack form is too novel. She was still in a hurry: "Hey young man, you are a bit ungrateful -"

In the last panic, she used an eighth-level magic shadow technique on the spot, hiding her true body in the shadows, and barely escaped the attack of three flying swords.

"You really have something to do with this thing -" Clara patted Jicheng's shoulder and sighed after dispelling the magic state, "I'm a little confident now that you can pick off cowhide of multiple holy levels."

Although in a real battle situation, these three flying swords will definitely not be able to kill Clara - it is even difficult to injure her, but don't forget that Jicheng has a thousand flying swords!

With only three swords, Clara could confidently say that she was fine, but if a thousand swords came at such a cunning angle at the same time, it is estimated that even a strong Saint-level warrior would only be cut into pulp!

"What are we going to do now?" Clara asked, rubbing her hands excitedly, "Going to the Holy City to hang up that old man Haggard and beat him up?!"

——Forgot to mention, Haggard is the name of the Pope of the Holy See of Light.

Jicheng asked: "Have you found Reed's location?"

Before Chen's accident, Reed was the archbishop of the Aokang Kingdom. If nothing else happened, he should now be at the headquarters of the Holy See of Light in the Aokang Kingdom - or possibly an office in a provincial city.

This should have been an easy thing to investigate, but Clara’s expression froze when she heard this: “Uh…”

"Our people did go to investigate before, but the intelligence showed that Reid broke through the ninth level some time ago and was transferred from the Ocon Kingdom."

"Transfer" is a very interesting word, it is not "promotion", which means that Reed was not promoted to Cardinal and returned to the Holy City, and there is no place name attached to the word "transfer", which means Reed's departure is not an open position change by the Holy See of Light.

Otherwise, if the area of ​​the kingdom that an archbishop is responsible for changes, such a thing cannot be made public, and it cannot be hidden from others at all.

And this situation mostly means that it is not the Holy See of Light that "transfers" Reed.

In other words, it is not a missionary institution of the Holy See of Light.

——Everyone knows that the Holy See of Light believes in the only true saint, Autopheus. The glory of the Holy See spreads all over the August continent. Starting from the Pope, cardinals and archbishops manage it downwards, and there are countless believers, but they don’t know In addition to the superficial level, the Holy See of Light also has an Inquisition, which is dedicated to carrying out the secret tasks of the Holy See and punishing apostates and heretics.

Now that Reed can't be found on the surface, what is he doing now? As the former holy son of the Holy See of Light and the leader of the dark forces who have been fighting against the Holy See of Light for a long time, Jicheng and Clara can already guess.

But in this case, it will be much more difficult to find out his specific whereabouts than before.

Clara touched her face: "Reed is the Archbishop of the Holy See of Light. His whereabouts are much easier to find than those fanatic ascetics of the Inquisition - at least everyone can recognize Reed's face. But In this situation, it may take a little more effort to find out his detailed whereabouts.”

Jicheng pondered for a moment: "Then don't be in a hurry to find him."

He took out a roll of parchment from his arms - it was the map of the continent he had obtained during his time in the dwarves, and spread it out.

Jicheng pointed out where they were now, and then slowly moved his finger upward: "Let's go here first."

Clara came up to take a look, and then she was shocked: "Why are you going to the elves' territory?"

Ji Cheng: "I'm idle anyway, let's ask them for help first."

The corners of his lips curled up slightly: "It is said that the elves are the darlings of nature and natural magicians. It just so happens that my flying swords are still lacking in souls."

Clara: "...Do you have any friendship with the elves?"

"No." Ji Cheng replied.

Clara: "?"

"Help, whether it is active or passive, it is also help."

Clara: "???"

——

Ji Cheng's statement that "whether it is active or passive, it is help" really shocked the hearts of Clara and others, but from another perspective, it seems that what he said is not wrong: I'm idle anyway, so I have to find something to do?

So Clara and a few members of the dark forces followed Ji Cheng again, Baruk stayed behind to negotiate with the dwarves on the promotion and sales of game consoles, and the rest of them returned one after another - it has been half a year since they left Chris City, and they don't know how Allen's Warcraft breeding farm is doing. If they don't go back to take a look, what if the old nest is occupied by someone?

And Clara had another reason to stay with Ji Cheng: for some reason, she found that her cultivation efficiency seemed to be much higher than usual when she was with Ji Cheng. Clara could even feel that in the past six months, her bottleneck at the peak of the ninth level seemed to have begun to loosen.

The ninth level to the holy level is an extremely huge threshold. It has stumped countless strong people from ancient times to the present. Clara is naturally not as young as she looks now. According to her original estimate, she may only be able to touch that threshold when her life is almost over.

——I didn’t expect that it would be almost there now?

Such a good thing, of course, she would not miss it.

However, the reason for this is probably only Ji Cheng knows-his spiritual power cultivation is not affected by the elemental curse, but that thing is like a huge sieve. The complete spiritual power can pass through, while the magic power that is decomposed into various elements is left outside. Over time, the concentration of magic elements around him is naturally much higher.

Not to mention that spiritual power is originally a higher level of power than elemental power. It is normal for Clara to be influenced by him in some subtle ways.

The elves are different from the dwarves. Their individual strength is stronger, their requirements for the living environment are higher, and their numbers are surprisingly rare.

So unlike the dwarves who have multiple settlements scattered all over the August continent, the elves strictly speaking have only one place - the Elf Forest. Most of the elves live there, and only a very small number of elves will leave the Elf Forest and travel around the August continent.

But by chance, the Elf Forest is located close to the west coast of the August continent. If you count the distance, it is quite close to the dwarf settlement where Ji Cheng and his friends are.

So after another trek of more than a month, Ji Cheng and his friends successfully arrived at the edge of the Elf Forest.

The only bad thing is that according to their original plan, they should have rested in a human town outside the Elf Forest first, but when the lush and tall ancient forest appeared in front of them, Ji Cheng looked around and didn't see any human habitation.

"So, where is the town?"

Clara looked at the sheepskin map in her hand and suddenly laughed awkwardly: "That..."

"I seem to have read the wrong direction."

Ji Cheng: "..."

"So to be honest, you came to the Holy City to rescue people and used ten teleportation arrays. The main reason was that you didn't know the way."

Clara smiled: "Don't break up when things are tough, don't break up when things are tough."

She put her hand in front of her eyebrows and looked ahead as if nothing had happened: "Oh, there is no town to rest, it doesn't matter if we go directly into the forest."

"With me, a ninth-level peak magician, here, are you afraid of anything going wrong?"

Ji Cheng: "..."

He really couldn't say it. Clara's words were like a huge flag.

*

The Elf Forest is as its name suggests, with beautiful scenery and towering ancient trees that seem to have no end, but at the same time, it also hides dangers.

"Roar--"

Clara killed an attacking dark cloud leopard neatly, and put away the shadow blade sickle made of dark elements, with a hint of joy on her face: "I can have an extra meal tonight!"

When the voice fell, Ji Cheng also happened to kill a forest python that tried to attack secretly: "I think snake meat is more delicious."

--Unfortunately, it did not cause any damage to them.

Clara turned her head and glared at Ji Cheng: "Isn't the meat of monsters more nutritious than ordinary meat?"

Ji Cheng also argued: "Isn't the texture of snake meat more delicate than that of leopard meat?"

"What's the use of delicate taste? Can it increase magic power?"

"How much magic power can a piece of leopard meat increase? It must be more important whether it tastes good or not!"

"Eat dark cloud leopard!"

"Eat forest python!"

When the two quarreled fiercely, suddenly a loud cry of "woof" came from a distance: "You bunch of hateful humans! You actually killed my eldest brother!!"
