Chapter 217 Nature is with you

"Have you heard? The Church of Life has announced that it will treat old Earl Havens at noon today."

"Old Earl Havens? Isn't he too old and frail to walk?"

"It seems to be a disease he got from fighting all over the place when he was young. Now he can only lie in bed. Even the bishop of the temple couldn't do anything about it."

"Ah, how could such a good man as the old count have to suffer such a punishment?"

"The Church of Life is going to fight the Temple."

Early in the morning.

On the streets and alleys of Qingyuan Province, the topic of conversation among residents was sparked by a piece of news that caused a sensation everywhere.

The Life Church, which has gained fame recently, is actually planning to treat Earl Havens, and the news has spread everywhere.

Who is Lord Havens?
He is the top leader of Qingyuan Province.

Because he conquered a large amount of territory for the Jade Empire when he was young, he was named Earl and was responsible for managing the entire Qingyuan Province. He was definitely an aristocrat among aristocrats, and many people wanted to curry favor with him but failed.

At first, people did not quite believe it, thinking it was a rumor spread by the Church of Life in order to increase its own popularity.

But when the Havens family's carriage guards appeared and stopped outside the hall of the Church of Life headquarters, the crowd was completely excited, and the news spread at a terrifying speed.

"What did you say? They actually invited Count Havens?!"

Inside the Temple Branch.

High Priest Raymond, who was praying, stood up suddenly and looked at the clergy who came to report.

Because of the Holy Grace Ceremony these days, their status among the people has been rapidly rising.

They thought they could completely crush the Church of Life with this method, but unexpectedly, the Church of Life even invited Earl Havens, which was completely beyond their expectations.

"It seems that the royal family of the Emerald Empire is willing to take action against us this time." A priest nearby whispered.

They did not think that a small Church of Life could invite Earl Havens. There must be the influence of the royal family of the Emerald Empire behind it.

The purpose is to suppress their temple.

"Humph! Even if they take action, so what? They have to save Earl Havens. Do you really think the old earl's illness is so easy to cure?"

Raymond was there when the bishop was treating Earl Havens.

He knew very well that the old earl was not just suffering from simple injuries. He also had numerous curses and corrosive forces left over from the battles with monsters and evil cultists. These curses and corrosive forces had penetrated almost into his bones. Even the seventh-level holy light magic could only barely dispel part of them.

However, the Church of Life lacks foundation, and its highest rank is only level six. What can a level six natural mage do?
but.

The preparation still needs to be made.

After all, the Church of Life has indeed done many things that were beyond their expectations during this period of time.

Raymond knew that if he didn't do this well, he might lose his position as high priest, but if he did it well, it was not impossible for him to become the head of the Qingyuan provincial branch.

This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him!

"Go, send someone to keep an eye on them. Report back as soon as you get any news. If they fail, I will make sure they can no longer stay in the Jade Empire!"

"Yes!"

The clergyman responded and left in a hurry.

……

at the same time.

In the main hall of the headquarters of the Church of Life.

The guards were tight, and a large crowd of people gathered here, all looking intently at the center of the hall. The scene was extremely lively.

"coming!"

"Out!"

Accompanied by bursts of exclamations, Thomas, dressed in a robe of life and holding a scepter of life, walked slowly over with a group of senior executives.

Wherever it went, the rich breath of life spread out, filling the entire area around the hall, making everyone feel refreshed and gradually calm down.

The layout of the Church of Life is different from that of the Temple. Lush plants and flowers are planted in every corner, and even the walls are painted with various plants, creating a vibrant scene, as if you are in nature.

soon.

Thomas and others, surrounded by a group of clergymen, came to the hall and saw the pale and skinny old earl sitting in a wheelchair and his family members.

"Greetings to Lord Havens."

Thomas came up to the group, looking like a veteran charlatan.

"Long time no see, Sir Thomas."

The old earl smiled and nodded, looking at Thomas with envy: "Speaking of which, Sir Thomas is my elder. I didn't expect that I have been bedridden, but you are still as energetic as before."

His voice was not loud, even weak, but it was clearly heard by everyone present, and they were all shocked.

Only then did they notice that although Thomas looked old, he was full of energy and did not show any signs of aging at all. He did not look like he was over 300 years old at all, which shocked many people who had only heard about him.

Is this the power of life magic?
Not to mention them, even the old earl's descendants hurriedly asked: "Sir Thomas, do you really have a way to cure my father?"

"As long as you can cure my father, our Havens family will be the most loyal ally of the Church of Life!"

It’s no wonder they are so anxious. After all, living for more than 300 years is already a miracle for humans. Normal people can only live to around 100 years at most.

Let their hope, which had been extinguished, burn again.

"Don't worry. Since I dare to invite you here, I am sure I can cure it. If there is no problem, let's start now."

Thomas took a deep breath and slowly walked up to the old earl.

In fact, he was not very sure in his heart. Although he had received a response from Lady Moon Goddess, this was the first time he had used divine magic in three hundred years.

If they fail, the entire Church of Life will be spurned by believers, and even the Temple will take this opportunity to attack them, making all their efforts in this period of time go to waste.

The old earl seemed to have guessed his thoughts and said with a smile, "Sir Thomas, just go ahead and treat me. I know my body well. Even the bishop of the temple can't cure me, so I don't hold out much hope."

Although he came to support the Church of Life at the suggestion of the imperial royal family, his words were sincere.

He knew his own condition, and there was no possibility of recovery. He should make some contribution to the empire while he still had a few years to live.

"Father."

The old earl's children were choked with sobs, and even the people around were silent, as they all knew what the old earl was thinking.

Although he didn't quite believe it, he still turned his eyes to Thomas with full of hope.

"let's start."

Thomas whispered, and a surge of magical power surged wildly around him.

He opened his hands, the Scepter of Life slowly floated up, his robes fluttered in the wind, and he looked at the sky with piety.

"The embodiment of life and night, the moon god who rules over nature, please listen to the plea of ​​your most loyal believer, Thomas Will, and grant me the nectar of life. With your mercy, save the helpless lives and dispel the shadow of death..."

Along with complicated spells, with a humming sound, a huge life array lit up in the hall, piling up layer by layer, instantly covering the entire sky of the Church of Life.

Whether it was the passers-by or the carriages passing by, they were all attracted by this exaggerated scene and stopped to look over here.

The crowd watching in the hall were even more shocked. They felt a strong breath of life burst out and enveloped the entire hall. All the flowers and plants began to grow rapidly.

"I...my previous injury has healed!"

"Incredible! The finger I broke off last month grew back!"

"It's the same for me. The illness I just had is gone!"

“Is this the magic of life?”

There was a commotion among the crowd. Although Holy Light Magic could do this, they were still extremely surprised and their eyes were fixed on the center of the hall.

at this time.

Suddenly, a bell rang.

A ray of life light slowly descended from the sky, enveloping the old earl. A group of nature elves danced back and forth, and their laughter spread throughout the hall.

Finally, it condensed into a drop of water shining with green light, like the brightest pearl in the dark night, and slowly merged into the old earl's body.

The old earl's face was filled with shock. He felt a surge of power entering his body. His originally decayed and broken body began to recover rapidly. His withered face became full of blood, and even his numb legs began to feel numb.

"I...I can stand up!"

The old earl was extremely excited. He slowly stood up with the help of his wheelchair. He had been bedridden for many years, but he stood up with his own strength and bathed in the light of life.

The people around exclaimed in amazement, all of them were shocked by this miraculous scene.

What made them even more unbelievable was...

Under the shining of the light of life, the old earl's originally withered and skinny body was also filling up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The corrosive power accumulated in the body turned into black gas and dissipated into the air, and the whole person seemed to have become dozens of years younger.

"boom--"

A terrifying aura burst out from the old earl, and he was directly promoted from the sixth level to the seventh level. With a clang, the shadow of a sharp giant sword slowly rose above his head and reached the sky, as if it was going to split the sky and the earth in one sword.

"Legendary Road!"

The people around exclaimed.

The Earl's family was extremely excited.

In terms of reputation, old Earl Havens is definitely qualified to step into the realm of legend, but it’s a pity that he has been stuck at the sixth level due to too many chronic problems he suffered in his youth.

Now that the root cause of the disease has been removed, not only has his life span increased, but he has also directly crossed that threshold and successfully become a legend.

This is simply a miracle!
this moment.

All their doubts about the Church of Life disappeared, and what followed was a sea of ​​extremely fiery gazes, all fixed on Thomas in the center of the magic circle.

"Cough cough..."

Thomas was worthy of being known as the most loyal believer of the Moon God. He reacted immediately, coughed twice, held his head high and put on an extremely pious look.

"The glory of the Moon Goddess will shine on every believer who believes in nature. Nature is with you."

Honestly.

Even Thomas himself did not expect the effect to be so exaggerated.

At the same time, he was very excited. After three hundred years, he finally used the magic of life again.

Sure enough, his guess was correct. Lord Moon God had just returned, and it was a time when people were lacking faith.

The believers they have developed during this period have obviously been approved by Lord Moon God, who has bestowed divine power to help them.

Seeing the crowd in turmoil, he exchanged a glance with Ryan and the others, and then, as planned, began to vigorously promote the beliefs of the Church of Life.

soon.

The news spread quickly.

When they learned that Earl Havens had recovered and was promoted to Legend, the entire Qingyuan Province was in an uproar.

“It’s really cured?”

"That's a disease that even the bishop of the temple can't cure!"

"The Church of Life actually did it!"

"With the support of the Havens family, the Church of Life will really rise."

It has to be said that this move by Thomas and his team was a good one. Not only did it suppress the momentum of the Temple, but it also gained the support of the Havens family.

I guess no one in Qingyuan Province would dare to touch them easily in the future. It is equivalent to finding a safe base for themselves to develop, and it is only a matter of time before they become stronger.

This also made many people see the potential of the Church of Life, and they joined in the belief in nature, causing the number of Moon Goddess's believers to increase several times in an instant, which made Rhodes, who was waiting on the altar, very happy.

"Damn, if I had known that a drop of spring water could be exchanged for so many believers, I would have given more."
