Chapter 202 Master Irwin: What a bunch of precious things these are!
Abrana, once the main church of the Church of the Dawn, is now the cathedral of the Church of the Eternal.
In the past, this vast church complex was visited by believers and tourists every day.
However, ever since the former parliamentary faction entered the city of Abrana, the church has been temporarily closed and outsiders are not allowed to enter for a short period of time.
In the square right in front of the church, soldiers worked in groups of two, carrying heavy wooden boxes and moving them to the center of the venue.
Then, the lock of the wooden box was opened, revealing a pile of gold and silver coins and various beautiful gems inside.
The soldiers just took a look, swallowed their saliva, suppressed their inner impulse, and quickly looked away, fearing that they would be tempted.
Some devout believers even prayed secretly, believing that this was a test from God.
Previously, a soldier stole a gold coin, and was caught and beaten twenty times. He was beaten to a bloody mess and almost died.
Such a warning also made other soldiers afraid to be greedy. No one stole anymore, and no one could escape the detection of magic.
"Why did His Majesty the Son of God ask us to put all these treasures here?"
The soldiers were also chatting in low voices during the transportation process.
"How would I know why? Maybe His Highness the Son of God is going to use some magic again. I heard that in the Dukedom of Hudson, His Highness the Son of God used these treasures to cast some terrible magic, summoned a giant dragon army, and defeated the Narbo Empire!"
"So the dragon army was summoned using these treasures?"
The fact that Deya summoned the dragon army to defeat the Narber Empire fleet and protect Susetani and Inglo is now known to everyone on the entire continent.
The church will spare no effort to promote such things that can enhance the prestige of the Son of God and the prestige of the church.
Especially since they summoned a giant dragon army and defeated the Narpo Empire, it greatly enhanced the reputation of England and Susetani and made people feel proud.
In the past, people from these two countries were inferior to the Narbo Empire.
"I also heard it from a friend who was in Hudson Territory. He was in the square of Hudson Territory at the time. When he saw His Highness the Son of God, he also had people bring in treasures and then cast a spell."
The soldiers who were listening attentively nearby were all amazed. Whether it was magic or His Majesty the Son of God, they were too far away from them.
For these ordinary soldiers, these things are just like those for the six-ring and seven-ring masters, and they are already in the category of myths.
"Stop chatting and come and move your things."
The squad leader saw another carriage galloping in from outside and shouted to his soldiers.
The soldiers quickly shut up and lined up to prepare for the next moving work.
……
At the other end of the square, Deya, wearing the papal tiara, stood on the high steps, watching the hustle and bustle in the square.
Most of these gold and silver treasures were the private money of the previous king.
The previous king lived an extravagant and greedy life. He confiscated a large amount of wealth, but he didn't use it in the end and it all went to Deya.
In addition to the king's collection, there were also things that the presidents of the major chambers of commerce in the two countries personally delivered after hearing that His Majesty the Son of God needed various gold, silver and jewelry.
Those who can make it big in business are all shrewd people, and they know very well that if you want to climb higher on this continent today, you must satisfy His Majesty the Son of God.
"How greedy! This wealth alone is enough for you to squander for many years, yet you still insist on levying high taxes, even bypassing the constitution and collecting taxes directly from other nobles' territories."
Deya murmured, lamenting the greed of the dead king.
If the king had not been so greedy and aroused public anger, he would not have ended up like this.
It can be said that the root of everything lies in his greed. Without this greed, the king would not have disrupted the stable situation, and in the original history, the Cavendish family would not have perished because of this.
If it was that world line, Deya believed that after traveling through time, he would have absolutely no interest in overthrowing the kingdom. He would definitely concentrate on learning magic and become an excellent wizard.
It was because Deya knew the king's greed and knew that he would not let the Cavendish family go, and for his own life and that of his family, the first thing Deya did after traveling through time was to launch a rebellion, to strike first and kill the king's family first.
"A worthy death!"
This is Deya's evaluation of the king who had great ambitions but little talent.
"Your Highness, the clergy sent from Inglour are already in place. I will follow your instructions and spread the new doctrine in the former Susetani territory, starting from Abranah."
Baird, the greatest bishop of the Eternal Church, came behind Deya and spoke with his head bowed.
As the highest bishop of the Eternal Church, he should return to England to take charge of the situation.
But Baird knew very well that the reason why he had risen from an ordinary bishop to the greatest bishop of the Eternal Church was entirely due to the preference of His Majesty the Son of God and his own luck.
Many people within the Eternal Church were dissatisfied with him, and he did not have enough prestige to convince other archbishops within the church.
So Baird chose the most troublesome and energy-consuming approach.
That was to stay in Abranah and personally establish a new church, so that Susaitani would become a religious country like England.
Although this was not a creation from scratch, after all, Susetalin in the past also believed in the Church of Dawn.
But this is still a huge project, and it is unknown how long it will take to lay the foundation, and Baird took the task on himself.
Only in this way can he gain enough credit within the church, repay the trust of His Majesty the Son of God, and completely shut up the other archbishops so that they can no longer find problems with themselves.
Deya also readily agreed to Baird's proposal.
Today, Abram's church needs a church member of high enough status to do this.
It would be best if Baird volunteered.
Especially Baird, who was appointed as the supreme bishop by himself. He was only in his 40s, in the prime of his life, and had enough energy to complete the reorganization of the church.
As for England, there is no need to worry too much. The internal system of the church in England has been very stable after hundreds of years of improvement.
Even if the supreme bishop is absent, there is still a council of bishops in the church that can decide many matters within the church.
"I'll leave everything here to you. From now on, you just need to write a report every month and pass it to me using magic."
Deya will be heading to the Nine Rings Tower soon to prepare for his further promotion.
He wanted to implement the most thorough offline monarchy system, so naturally he couldn't do everything himself.
Therefore, his requirements for Baird and the Anglo-Saxon Archbishops' Conference were the same, that is, to write a detailed report every month, and Deya only needed to review the report.
As he holds the Goddess's scepter, he does not have to worry about his subordinates becoming disloyal. He can deprive these archbishops of their authority and power at any time.
In a corner of the square, Druid Upton was standing in front of Mavis with excitement.
Mavis glanced at him and sighed, “I know what you want to say, and I have nothing to hide about the location of the Emerald Courtyard.
The entrance to the Emerald Courtyard is on the northernmost island of the Shire Archipelago, but even if you know the entrance to the Emerald Courtyard, you cannot enter there.
The Shire Islands have always been a dangerous sea in the legends of sailors, but in fact it is a magical barrier set up by the Elf King's Court, and no one can enter it without permission.
Even an eighth-ring or even ninth-ring character would never dare to destroy those barriers alone.
Although the elves have declined, they are still capable of dealing with a Nine Rings."
Mavis's explanation was very detailed, advising Upton not to be stupid and actually lead his people to the Shire Islands.
Not to mention how far the Shire Islands are from here, even if you finally get there, you won't be able to enter the Emerald Courtyard because you don't have permission.
By then, Upton's people might be completely finished.
Upton remained calm and gave an elf salute: "Thank you for your advice, Lady Mavis. My people have been searching for the Emerald Court for hundreds of years.
Even knowing the entrance to the courtyard is a huge step forward for our tribe. I believe we will have the opportunity to return to our hometown in the future."
Mavis hummed, "I hope so. If I can return to the Emerald Court, I will tell the King about this."
Upton was grateful and thanked him repeatedly.
He knew very well what Mavis's surname 'Emerald Crown' represented, and he also knew the other party's identity as the Lord of the White Tower.
Such a big shot would never even look at a small shot like him.
If he had not helped Deya in the past and had not formed a good relationship with Deya, he would not have received Mavis' promise.
Being kind to others may sometimes leave behind a seed of kindness, which, when it takes root and sprouts, will solve all your sufferings and crises.
"hold head high----"
Suddenly, a loud dragon roar was heard from the distant sky.
The sudden roar of the dragon startled everyone in the square and caused a commotion. Everyone looked up and saw a silver-white dragon with four wings, over a hundred meters long including its wings, flying slowly from a distance.
The giant dragon was slender, elegant and beautiful, but the faint dragon power emanating from it made people feel uneasy and confused. They dared not look directly at the giant dragon, and even their hearts seemed to be about to jump out at any time.
In the palace, His Majesty King Cavendish, who was overwhelmed by various things, looked at the royal adjutant who broke in with dissatisfaction: "What are you doing in such a hurry?"
Seeing that His Majesty was still so calm, the adjutant calmed down, but still stammered: "Your Majesty, a dragon, there is a dragon outside!"
"Well, I see."
His Majesty Cavendish responded coldly, he stood up and walked to the window, watching a slender and beautiful dragon falling towards the square of the cathedral.
When the former Earl Cavendish saw this, even though he had known that a dragon would arrive today, he still couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
That is a giant dragon, and the weakest one is an eight-ring dragon. I don’t know where Deya got to know a dragon of this level.
After a giant dragon's body is promoted to the eighth ring, it will grow a new pair of dragon wings. The giant dragon at this stage is also called a holy dragon.
Therefore, dragons below the seventh ring may need to judge the opponent's strength based on the size of the opponent, but dragons above the seventh ring are enough to know the opponent's ring number just by looking at the extra dragon wings.
Even though he knew a giant dragon would appear today, he was prepared.
But His Majesty the King still felt a slight sense of panic. It was the instinct when facing a creature at the top of the food chain. It also made him feel more and more that his son had grown up to a point that he could not understand.
"Okay, don't worry about the dragon, it's Deya's friend. We still have a lot to do, so don't be lazy."
His Majesty the King returned to his desk and sat down with an expressionless face.
The adjutant finally understood what was said. He exclaimed, "So he is a friend of His Highness the Son of God. Only a dragon of this level can be friends with His Highness the Son of God."
His Majesty the King remained silent and said that he didn't quite understand either.
……
In the church square, Ignis's huge dragon body landed on the wide square. After seeing the mountains of treasures on the square, Ignis's translucent dragon eyes looked even more sparkling.
Her body changed from a giant dragon to a tall silver dragon lady with long silver-white hair. She asked happily, "Deya, are these all given to me by you?"
Deya walked down the high steps at this time, he nodded slowly and said: "Since I promised you, I will naturally do it.
This is the wealth I plundered from Susaitani, and now it is all yours."
Ignis smiled happily: "Deya, you are so nice."
Then, Lady Silver Dragon said thoughtfully: "...No wonder the old guys in the tribe miss the past."
"Miss the past? What do they miss?"
Deya asked curiously.
Ignis couldn't help but say happily: "Those old guys said that thousands of years ago, this land was very chaotic, with various countries and races standing side by side.
That was the best time for the dragons. They would often team up to plunder any country, and they would plunder a lot of wealth each time.
However, since the Narpo Empire almost unified the Okanal continent, other races were driven out by humans and had to hide, and the dragons no longer dared to plunder at will.
The old guys are right. The countries that rob humans get the most treasures. Deya, did you rob this country called Sustani?"
Deya was silent. It turned out that dragons used to rob and loot. However, after humans became unified and powerful, dragons no longer dared to rob.
He said perfunctorily: "Well, this can be considered as what I stole from Suseta."
"Well, Deya, how about we go and rob the Narpo Empire together when we have the chance in the future?"
Ignis said excitedly, her eyes shining.
"It depends on the situation."
Deya quickly fooled her with a few words.
At this moment, Ignis saw Sallyste coming from behind Deya. As a nine-ring silver dragon, she was blessed by the Dragon God, which meant she was the Dragon God's chosen one.
Ignis saw through Sally's true nature at a glance. Her expression froze, and she quickly stood in front of Deya, looking at Sally warily, and said nervously:
"Deya, be careful, this man... this man has the power of corruption, that power is enough to subvert this continent!"
The Silver Dragon Lady bared her teeth at Sally, and it looked like she was ready to transform into a giant dragon and have a fierce battle with Sally.
Sally was confused and quickly shook her hands and said, "No, you misunderstood. I will not hurt Lord Deya."
Seeing this, Deya explained to Ignace the origin and identity of Celeste.
Ignis blinked her translucent eyes and said blankly, "So, she won't hurt you, and she's your maid, so she will protect you?"
Deya nodded, indicating that this was roughly what he meant.
Silver Dragon Lady tilted her head, and then she didn't know whether she thought of the content of the human novels she had read, and immediately shrank her body, hiding behind Deya in fear, holding Deya's shoulders with her two small hands, and tremblingly said:
"Deya, she's so scary, I can't beat her, you must protect me, she will beat me to death."
Ignis's tone was tearful, and she looked like a weak little girl who was being bullied.
Deya was silent. You are a nine-ring dragon!
Where did you learn this? You are so good at pretending!
Not far away, two witches saw this scene.
Lamia signaled Mavis beside her with her eyes, as if asking: You are familiar with this silver dragon, is she like this?
Mavis gritted her teeth: "I don't know!"
Sally was even more confused.
She, she is not a violent woman, she won't hit anyone casually!
"Ignis, please collect all the treasures first."
Ignis's attention was indeed diverted. She took a deep breath and inhaled hard, and saw that the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry in the square were sucked into its huge mouth and entered another space.
"Deya, you have given me so many treasures, so I have no choice but to marry you."
Ignis showed a confused and ignorant expression and said stupidly.
"Lord Deya!"
Sally finally understood what Silver Dragon said, and she shouted subconsciously.
But Sally thought again, she was just Lord Deya's maid, Lord Deya's sharp edge, and had no right to interfere in Lord Deya's private life.
Besides, she is already very satisfied with her current life. She can always stay with Lord Deya, so she should not be too greedy.
"Deya, didn't you say that we were going to the Nine Rings Tower today? Don't waste time here."
Lamia stepped forward and interrupted the conversation between the few people, so that Ignis could not continue to act like a spoiled child.
Deya calmed down and said, "Well, I have already given instructions. The kingdom is stable for the time being, so I don't need to interfere too much.
Mavis, please open the door to the Nine Rings Tower for us!"
The smile on Mavis's face turned into charming and lazy one. This was because she changed her form, from a saint to a witch.
The witch Mavis looked at Deya and the women beside him with interest, and laughed softly, “As the master of the White Tower, I have the power to lead people to the Nine Rings Tower.
But this woman also has this dragon, so they need to report if they want to go to the Nine Rings Tower."
Ignis is fine. Although the Nine-Ring Dragon is terrifying, as long as she enters the Nine-Ring Tower, the tower masters there will be able to deal with her.
But if Sallyst unleashes her near-godlike power, no one knows whether the Nine-Ring Tower can block it.
Deya replied: "I have already told my teacher about this matter in advance and filed it with him."
"In that case, let me open the door of the Nine Rings Tower for you."
Mavis took out a white object that looked like a chess piece. She threw it into the air, and a mysterious door slowly emerged.
……
In the Nine Rings Tower, the Undead Mage Irving, a lich, actually felt nervous.
Beside Irwin, Adolf, the Lord of the Purple Tower, said with a smile, "Irwin, you are here to meet your disciple, not your wife. Why are you so nervous?"
Irving glanced at Adolf with his hollow eyes and said in a cold voice, "You will understand if you come over and take a look at me."
When Deya sent him a letter introducing the people who would come to the Nine Rings Tower this time, Irvin was also a little confused.
What kind of valuable things did this disciple of mine bring with him?
