Chapter 41 The Temple of Wealth

Although he killed the Deep Demon and successfully collected his soul, Brian didn't seem as happy as he thought.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel frightened when he looked at the corpse of the rat whose devil in the Deep Demon was photographed into mud.
Through the battle just now, he could see that the strength of this devil is at least above the medium legend, that is, the creature level is as high as level 25 or above.
But such a powerful devil was stretched out his staff by the sorcerer beside him, and gently pointed it into a tiny white mouse that even ordinary humans could control at will.
Transformation-like spells belong to a branch of the School of Change.
The spells in this branch are mainly divided into two types, namely, by turning oneself into powerful creatures to fight, and turning the enemy into weak creatures.
Among Brian's subordinates, the war mage Marek is a typical representative of the former.
As a war transformer, once his strength reaches the legendary realm, he can even become a legendary dragon and possess all the abilities of a dragon.
The latter's function is mainly to weaken the enemy. The most typical representative spells are the five-ring spell "Malicious Transformation" and the eight-ring spell "Transformation of All Things".
If this spell fails, the recipient will lose all his characteristics and expertise, including supernatural abilities, spell-like abilities, and also lose his casting ability. He will also use the camps of new bodies, special abilities, and six-dimensional attributes to completely replace his original abilities.
Theoretically speaking, if you get a transfiguration, it means that the battle has ended.
Because even the most powerful legendary creature, as long as it is turned into a small animal, it will almost lose any resistance during the period of deformation.
As can be seen from the introduction, the transformation spell is a bit outrageous.
However, the cruel reality is that there are very few spellcasters who can specialize in this transformed genre.
The reason for this phenomenon is nothing more than the spells of this genre are very useless.
The principle of deformation technique is to forcibly convert the original form of the substance.
These spells act on enemies of the same level, or even enemies of one level lower than themselves, and it is difficult to release them successfully. For spell casters of changing genres, the function of spells is to abuse the food, and it is difficult to be used in battles with the same level of strength.
But in today's battle, Brian really gained some insight.
Although this Deep Demon was too confident that his original fire was powerful, he was restrained by his curse fire, so he turned over and was seriously injured.
But as the Barthzu Demon, the many powerful resistances and expertise of the Deep Demon, just his physique and strength attributes above 25 points can easily break free from the power of the eight-ring spell "Deformed Everything" to change his own form.
However, in fact, the devil was turned into a teenage mouse without any resistance, and then easily killed by him.
Karadna's powerful transformation spell simply refreshed his cognition.
In the game world, he had never heard of this sorcerer who was offline in the early stage of the game, which was so powerful.
He only knew that the other party’s biggest hobby was to turn disobedient subordinates or players who offend him and turn them into small animals to show punishment.
In this regard, he could only think that there was definitely some powerful warlock bloodline hidden in the other party's body.
After all, the casting of sorcerers is the result of talent and tempering. They do not need spell books, do not rely on guidance from mentors, and even have no theory of casting, but only rely on pure willpower.
Their magic is more dependent on intuition than logic, and it is hard to predict what powerful power is hidden in their bodies.
"It's so wasteful." Miss Warlock's words interrupted Brian's thoughts. She looked at the corpse of the Deep Demon and the sanks that were slapped out by the crushed palm, and couldn't help but complain: "A problem that can be solved with one kick, but you kill it with the powerful Nine-ring spell, which is simply a waste of talent."
Brian looked at Karadna and found that her long, flying dark purple hair was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into its original golden color, and the original magic energy surging around her was also slowly dissipating.
She carefully and carefully wrapped the wand that she had just released the spell, wrapped in black linen, and carried it back behind her, and the rope connected to the wand extended from her shoulder to her slender waist, shaping the pair of capitals on her chest into a full and attractive outline.
"What kind of warlock bloodline are you awakening?" Brian retracted his gaze and walked towards the collapsed secret room while asking the sorcerer who quickly followed him.
The warlock controls the innate magic.
This magic may come from supernatural bloodlines, from other worlds, or from experiences exposed to some unknown multiverse power, which will lurk in the body, mind and soul of the warlock, waiting to be released.
This allows them to learn secret knowledge, nor rely on contracts to obtain spells like magicians. They can gradually develop more effective ways to release the powerful magic hidden in their bodies through continuous practice and mastering the methods of controlling and guiding the way to improve their magic power.
"Can't you tell me this?" The sorcerer Karadna tied her loose blonde hair again with a rope, and smiled: "What I awaken is native magic, the most powerful and unstable magic in the warlock's bloodline."
"Then it would be a miracle that you can survive until now and successfully advance to the legendary realm." Brian looked at her. Although she was wearing a black robe, she still couldn't hide her tall figure and curves. Her face looked a little pale, but her facial features were perfectly like an exotic beauty.
Among the warlock's bloodline, native magic is the most difficult to control and control, and is also the most powerful, because the chaotic storm they release is simply unpredictable.
For example, in order to use native magic, the other party just reconnaissed the devil's traces, so that he was turned into a teenage mouse by an unpredictable chaotic storm.
A warlock who masters this bloodline can master a new tip for starting a class almost every time he releases a chaotic storm.
"Of course." The sorcerer walked towards Brian with a light pace. After attracting his attention, he raised his chin proudly and said:
"I have witnessed the elemental power exposed in the inner plane with my own eyes and suffered the baptism of the violent and chaotic magic of the Chaos Sea. If I had not been guided by the Magic Goddess in Mount Mistala in the Kingdom of Halua and absorbed the blue flames left over from the "Ofa Catastrophe" period in a great rift valley, I would probably not have lived until now."
Mount Mistala at the Wall of Harua is the largest temple in the magic goddess Mistala located in the entire Feren continent.
Brian is quite clear about this.
From this we can see that the sorcerer in front of us should have entered the cave group on Mount Mistala.
Because any practitioner of the Abyssal Arts related to magic, including sorcerers and magicians, can find the answer they want by conducting diligent research in a mysterious cave in this temple for no more than five years.
As for the "blue flame" mentioned by the sorcerer, Brian is very familiar with it.
The ‘Blue Flame’ is the primitive energy that erupted after the magic net was torn apart. When the ‘Ofa Catastrophe’ occurred, the elders’ council of Halua sent the people of its own kingdom to other worlds outside Torrell through the mysterious ‘Blue Flame’, such as Abel and the small world where Brian was reborn.
The main material of Brian Aohuo is also Blue Flame.
Coincidentally, the place where he extracted the Blue Flame was also the Great Rift Valley in the mouth of the sorcerer.
Since it can be seen that this mysterious blue flame, which represents the essence of the magic net, does have the effect of neutralizing violent magic energy and primitive magic.
"Your adventure is really wonderful." Brian smiled and said, "At least I have never been to Chaos Sea, and I can't imagine what the chaotic magic from Chaos Sea looks like."
"That's a violent energy that makes you look at the first glance and never want to look at the second glance again." The sorcerer showed a look of lingering fear, then his eyes flashed slightly, and he asked with a slightly nervous look:
"Do you have a magical flame similar to Aurora and Silver Fire? Otherwise, you would never be able to resist the original fire of the Deep Demon Refining, and it would cause him to be severely damaged."
"That's right." Brian nodded slightly, without hiding it, "I do have a kind of flame."
"Really." The sorcerer showed a happy expression on his face, and leaned over to him, and said eagerly, "Can you let me see it?"
She looked like a little girl asking for candy from an adult.
"Of course." Brian looked at her thoughtfully, and said with a smile in an inexplicable tone: "However, the premise of all this is to let me see the magic wand you are carrying behind you. I am also curious about your equipment."
As he understood Karadna, he had already vaguely guessed that the reason why the other party could turn the Demon Refining Demon into a Little White Mouse was probably the strong wand wrapped in her.
So he was really curious about what kind of equipment this was.
"no!"
The sorcerer's firm expression surprised Brian a little. She looked at him with a vigilant face, like a furry female cat, "This wand is my amulet. I can't leave me for a moment, so no one can check it."
"That's it." Brian did not force it, and smiled and shrugged at her, continuing to walk, obviously not intending to let her watch Ouhuo.
He had a premonition.
This female sorcerer is not as simple as mastering the original magic energy in the sorcerer's bloodline. This is a problem that he realized after carefully savoring the battle scene just now.
Moreover, he always felt that the other party's means to find the devil's traces and the opportunity to become a guinea pig were a bit too coincidental, but he couldn't tell the specific reason.
In this way, he felt that after the battle was over, it was necessary to let Shisaiya test her depth.
Karadna behind him heard Brian's indifferent words, and a hint of disappointment appeared in her burgundy eyes, and finally she could only follow her helplessly.
Nothing to say along the way.
The two soon arrived at the battle site in the city.
Brian and Shisia looked at each other and nodded slightly, indicating that they had all resolved.
"I'll give you this soul crystal." Then, he threw the crystal obtained from the Deep Demon into the hands of the magician Tifflin and said to him, "I need you torture what I want from his soul as fast as possible."
"Don't worry, sir." The magician looked at the crystal in his hand and showed a sinister smile. "For me, this kind of thing is just a small matter."
The sorcerer standing on the other side saw Brian handing the soul crystal to the magician, and he showed a look of wanting to speak but stopping, but he still didn't say it out in the end.
Naturally, Brian did not notice this detail, but instead focused on the situation in front of him.
In this battle, with the core members of the secret room of the Merchant Council being killed, the balance of victory has completely tilted towards them.
The next battle was almost no difficulty, but it was a bit troublesome to find all the blood slaves hidden in the crowd and transformed by vampires from Ximen.
However, these small winds and waves are no longer important.
In the evening.
Mashanbo has completely changed hands, and the devil's temptation and depravity of the merchant guild and the noble council have suddenly become the target of everyone. Even some nobles and merchants with good character have become the target of people's doubts, believing that they may also have a transaction with the devil.
Some riots occurred in angry civilians, and the resentment they had accumulated burst out, and some even tried to attack members of the noble and merchant council.
But soon, these people were brutally suppressed by the Purple Dragon Knights under Xisiaya, and the remaining members of the noble parliament and the Merchant Guild became the current targets of protection.
"Sir, I have investigated it clearly." In the hall, a war wizard secretly reported to Brian: "Except for the merchants and nobles who are controlled by us, most of them are hiding in the temple of the Goddess of Wealth. The armed forces of the church are on guard around the temple with high alert, and we may not be able to get close."
When Brian heard this, he showed such an expression.
"You go down first." He waved his hand and signaled the war mage to retreat, and then began to think about this question.
As he imagined, Mashanbo was the most prosperous trading port city in the entire Cormier Kingdom. It was not surprising that the huge group of merchants and nobles gave it a huge foundation for the faith of the goddess of wealth and temporarily sheltered.
After all, as a goddess of wealth who owns merchants, wealth, trade and currency priests, she is essentially no different from real-world banks in the temples across the mainland.
And it is an absolutely neutral bank.
But this was obviously something that Brian didn't want to see, otherwise, they would not get any spoils except for regaining Mashanbo.
Because the wealth of the Merchant Guild and the Noble Council are all in the Temple of Wealth.
And what he needs is the wealth of this group of merchants and aristocratic groups.
In this case, if you want to force your acquisition, you will inevitably have conflicts with this temple.
You should know that in the secret room, all the core personnel of the entire Merchant Guild and the noble council were slaughtered by him. These people had at least 80% of the wealth of Mashanbo. It was obviously impossible for the dead to hand over the gold coins in the temple.
Of course, it is even more impossible to let the people from the Temple of Wealth take the initiative to hand over it.
Because with the demise of the Merchant Guild and the Noble Council, a large amount of dead debts will definitely be left in the temple. If you want to inherit these inheritances, you must first find a way to prove that you are yourself, or let the dead go to the front desk to handle business.
This means that after their recovery battle, the Temple of Wealth took the greatest advantage.
"Get together the men and go to the Temple of Wealth." Brian stood up from his chair and said to Hisayah.
When the last ray of light of dusk disappeared from the horizon, Brian and Xisaiya came to the area of ​​the Temple of Wealth with the Purple Dragon Knight and the Battle Mage.
At the same time, teams of fully armed golden knights appeared and blocked their way.
All the Knights of the Temple were priests full of jewels, and the foundation accumulated by the Temple in the Kingdom of Cormier for nearly a hundred years was revealed at this moment.
Teams of Templar Knights and Guards, their equipment was all of them shining golden armor.
"In Cormier's territory, any church or temple must respect the Regent and obey the laws set by the royal family. I can think that you are challenging the authority of the royal family?!"
A Purple Dragon Knight shouted angrily at the leader of the Templar Knights: "You dare to protect the rebels is an open provocation to the royal family!"
"Please do not get me wrong, Regent." The leader of the Templar Knights said respectfully, "We have no intention of provoking the authority of the royal family, nor have we intended to protect any rebels. The purpose of our doing so is to protect the most devout believers of the goddess."
"The Goddess's most devout believer?" Brian snorted coldly, "So, you have publicly surrendered to the rebels, and your Temple of Wealth has also participated. Can I label the entire temple as a rebel?"
"Please don't get me wrong, yourselves." The leader of the Templar Knight said calmly:
"State of Wealth has always maintained its own camp without wavering since its establishment, and will not collude with the rebels. The goddess often teaches us that anyone who enters the rebels, whether it is the rebels or the Purple Dragon Knight, is the most devout believer of the goddess and deserves shelter. I am our duty."
After hearing this sentence, Brian frowned slightly. He could clearly feel that the Templar Knight had something wrong. Although his words were respectful, the provocative meaning contained in it was very controversial.
In fact, he did not want the temple to conflict with the royal family, not that he could not afford to offend the goddess, mainly because doing so meant that they would not get the wealth of the Merchant Guild and the Noble Council.
Similarly, the Temple of Wealth will never dare to blatantly conflict with the Kingdom of Cormier. If they dare to do this, all temples in the entire kingdom will definitely be devastating.
He did not think the Archbishop of the Temple made such a foolish choice.
There was another thing that surprised him even more. In theory, in the face of this conflict, the archbishop of the temple was the leader of the Knights of the Temple.
"Bryan, there's something wrong with this Templar."
The soul-transmitting voice of the sorcerer Karadna sounded in his mind, "I suspect he is a hidden devil, but I can't guarantee that he must be."
"I can't guarantee it, then I'll give it a try." Brian replied, looking at the leader of the Knights' Templar, and his eyes were slightly cold.
——"Divine Duncan cleavage technique!"
Brian stretched out his hand and a terrible energy burst out. The unexpectedly guarded leader of the Templar Knight was shocked. Obviously, he didn't expect that the other party would dare to take action.
He was about to fight back, but it was too late.
The energy that disintegrated all material forms instantly made the armor shining with golden light in his body burst into explosions one after another, dissipating without a trace.
——"Advanced Appearance!"
Karadna stretched out her hand, and a dazzling purple light suddenly burst out from her palm, covering the terrified Knight of the Temple.
The Knight of the Temple first let out a shrill scream of panic, then his skin gradually turned dark red, his pupils turned strange green, his forehead grew curved horns, and his sharp fangs also exposed from his jaw.
"It's the devil!"
The clergy and onlookers in the temple all exclaimed.
——"Skin stripping!"
Another spell of the sorcerer was successfully released, and a strange dark red light enveloped the entire body of the Templar Knight.
In an instant, before the devil recovered to his true body, the wailing sound of pain rang out directly.
His skin suddenly began to fall off, and bloody scalp fell off like this. Then his hideous face slid down with flesh and blood. The skin of his arms directly cracked, and the swelling muscles showed a strange dark red and creepy bones. The whole person seemed to have been stripped alive.
Brian took this opportunity to release an attack spell, ending the life of this high-level devil who is less than the legendary realm.
Seeing this, the priests of the Temple of Wealth fell silent.
Because the lurking of the devil represents their negligence and proves their incompetence.
The temple did not even notice such serious corruption, so it almost had an armed conflict with the entire kingdom.
At this moment, a team of clergymen dressed in golden robes and headed by the priest rushed over.
The priest in the head was a woman wearing a golden robe, with gold silk cuffs, with beautiful blonde curly hair, and wearing seven gem rings on her ten fingers.
It is said that the goddess of wealth loves gold. Many of her pastors have long golden hair. These pastors are full of jewels and like to wear expensive jewelry and their clothes are exquisite and luxurious.
This is a plump and tall young woman wearing a string of amazingly valuable pearl necklaces on her chest. She leaned over toward Brian and Shisiaya and said slowly:
"I am very sorry, respected Regent, Lord Protector. I express my most sincere apology for the obstacles the temple has brought to you."
"At the same time, thank you for helping the temple and finding out the demons hidden inside." She continued in a gentle tone, "I know the purpose of your coming here. Although the Regent is at ease, the Temple of Wealth will fully cooperate with the royal family's actions."
"The Knights of the Temple obeyed the order!" The female priest looked slightly cold and gave the order: "From now on, we will do our best to assist the army in capturing the remnants of the rebels."
With a command, the Templar Knight, who was originally blocking the road, immediately made way.
Xisia immediately issued instructions to the Purple Dragon Knight and the Battle Mage, and under the guidance of the Knight of the Temple, they ran towards the inside of the Temple together.
"Duke of the Kingdom." The female pastor looked at Brian with a gentle look and asked with a smile: "I wonder if my sincerity will satisfy the cooperation we will develop next?"
"The next cooperation?" Brian was slightly stunned and said in confusion.
"Don't you remember?" The female priest's expression was still kind and gentle. A smile appeared on her lips, but her words seemed to have a lot of meaning. "I have heard with my own ears that my territories have been invaded by demons many times. Don't you feel a headache for this?"
After hearing this sentence, Brian suddenly showed a sudden look of consciousness.
This forced him to look at the jewel-like, young and beautiful female priest in front of him seriously.
Woking, goddess of wealth.
Before the turbulent times, she was originally a young god, and there were not many enemies except because of her complete opposition to the clergy of the god of thieves, Meske.
In the turbulent year, in order to escape this disaster, she entrusts the only remaining divine power on her body to the goddess of joy, and with the help of a god envoy from another world, she sneaks into the astral world.
After entering the astral realm, she negotiated with the Lord Glazt, the Lord of the Immortal, hoping to return to her kingdom of gods through his territory.
But after the goddess of wealth arrived at the territory of the Lord Glazt, the giant in the bottomless abyss did not hesitate tore up the contract and imprisoned her in her territory.
What good end can it be if it falls into the hands of the monarch Glazt?
You know, in order to revenge the succubus Queen, this demon lord refused his courtship, and even turned himself into Mekanshut to seduce Koschurch, one of the ugliest lords of Tanari in the bottomless abyss, - the demon lord who looks like a giant.
And there are many things that cannot be said or described in words between the two.
Finally, the Monarch of Undead also regarded this as a great conspiracy against the Succubus Queen.
The result of this "temptation" made the succubus queen deeply ashamed.
Because many people still believe that Mekansut, who was impressed by the magnificence of Coschurch, was not pretended to be the sham of the Immortal Monarch.
For a goddess like Woking, a demon like Glazt who is both male and female, is not excited to celebrate in the abyss every day, and will never miss any hole in any part.
This is a long period of imprisonment.
This not only caused the goddess of wealth to lose a lot of divine power and believers, but also suffered countless terrible humiliations.
Even her church in the material world was infiltrated by Glazt. Woking was scattered in temples around the world, filled with various loan shark services. The terrible profit of the hob cutter made countless families lose their money and completely ruined the reputation of the goddess of wealth.
It was not until a team of adventurers rescued her that the Goddess of Wealth retrieved her divine power. At that time, her power had already weakened greatly due to usury.
This incident is an indescribable shame for the gods!
As a god, a goddess.
Therefore, in addition to the original Mesk, the goddess of wealth had another Glazt in her enemy, and she vowed to take revenge on him, or at any cost.
Obviously, this revenge goddess is likely to have learned about what is about to happen in the dark area and is ready to launch a crazy revenge operation.
Otherwise, when there is great turmoil in the dark area in the game world, there will not be so many high-bounty tasks to hunt legendary adventurers who are incarnated by Glazt, and even a large number of priests and priests of Woking.
It is precisely because of the lack of Glazt's restraint that the succubus Queen Mekansot found an opportunity to plot against Demogorgen, which caused huge turmoil in the abyss.
As for why she suddenly came to her, it is not difficult to understand.
After all, he stole the dragon egg that Glazt had planned for a long time.
Mokou Town has indeed encountered many calculations and attacks from this demon lord, and even the power of the werewolf king appeared in Gewoch, west of Mokou Town.
Therefore, if you want to attack Glazt's power in the material world, and use his bait to wait for the rabbit, it is naturally the best choice.
Thinking through the whole story of the problem, Brian suddenly realized that the reason why the female priest appeared with such a kind attitude was probably premeditated.
It is very likely that she had noticed the hidden devils in the church in advance, and then deliberately made the devils embarrassed them, and finally made the appearance gorgeously and caught the traitors in order to win the favor of the royal family and leave a deep impression on them.
From this we can see that the female priest in front of us is still very scheming, and even the devil who is good at playing conspiracies dares to take advantage of it.
"I'm looking forward to the cooperation with you," Brian said sincerely.
After stealing the dragon egg of the Emperor Wu'an, the other party will definitely not give up. So why don't he take advantage of this opportunity and lead the team to sneak into the bottomless abyss like some unknown adventurers to overturn the demon lord's car.
Of course, this is just a joke. With his current ability, even if he reaches the strength of a high-level legend, he may not dare to face the true body of the Demon Lord, and he is still in the other party's territory.
Besides, he didn't want to waste time here. Now he has the powerful enemy of Yinhun City, who is always threatening himself.
Next, as he expected, with the help of the Temple of Wealth, the task of clearing out the Merchant Guild and the Noble Council was very smooth.
After all, all of these people were hiding in the temple, so they just came to catch turtles in a jar.
Chapter completed!
