Chapter 1179: Athletic Conference I

Jackdaw Valley.

Calamity Cathedral.

The largest church in the valley now looked empty.

Only Archbishop Byron knelt down and worshiped devoutly.

There is a statue of a raven in front of him.

At the moment, the statue is filled with dim light.

"According to God's will, what you asked me to deliver has already reached Safuri's hands."

I saw Archbishop Byron's humble tone as he reported.

"I'm aware of it."

The ethereal sound floated in the church, making it impossible to trace the source of the sound.

Archbishop Byron once again bowed to the ground and did not dare to look directly at the statue in front of him.

After a moment of silence, the ethereal voice appeared again.

"Byron Passata, I understand the concerns in your heart."

"I got a glimpse of the future trajectory from the edge of the rules."

"The chosen one standing behind Safuri will surely stand out in the new era."

"It's even possible to set foot in the star realm and the Kingdom of God."

“It’s hugely profitable to be associated with it.”

At this time, Archbishop Byron raised his head.

"Honored God, your will is the beacon for believers."

"The projection ceremony is almost ready, and your god's projection will come to Lentax."

His face was full of piety and enthusiasm, and he did not show any doubts or rebuttals.

The statue of the god also dimmed.

After concluding the divine communication, Archbishop Byron stood up slowly.

His expression became a little complicated, and he looked up at the carvings in the church.

Finally, he turned around and left here firmly.

…

In Sanji City.

The officiant holds a candle and is chanting scriptures.

Suddenly, the pendant hanging on his chest lit up, and a clear projection appeared.

The faces of black-robed Bishop Gillis and another church elder appeared on the screen.

"The officiant..."

"We failed!"

Gillis said anxiously.

Hearing his words, the officiant frowned.

"fail?"

"How can it be!"

"Is there a master in the giant city of Lentax who can rival Lilia?"

He asked in a calm tone.

He has strong confidence in the pseudo-demon Lilia.

After all, it was a combat weapon that he was personally responsible for creating.

At this time, the officiating priest was not aware of the seriousness of the problem and thought that the plan to abduct the prince had just gone wrong.

But the next moment, Gillis' answer was no less than a bolt from the blue!

"Lilia...she...she was kidnapped!"

"Three church elders were also kidnapped at the same time!"

This news made the officiant suddenly stunned!

After a moment, the usually calm officiant suddenly became furious.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Gillis, you have to understand the consequences of cheating on me!"

The momentum all over his body suddenly exploded.

All the candles lit in the temple were blown out by this pressure.

This made the originally bright hall instantly dark.

The power of a demigod-level powerhouse turned into a surging air current and blew into the distance.

"I will never lie to you!"

"And the strong man who kidnapped Lilia can also transform into a demon!"

Gillis quickly explained, and then he described the whole thing in detail to the church priest.

In his description, Zong Shen was a strong man comparable to a demigod.

Only the more powerful the opponent is described, the lighter his responsibility will be.

After all, even the pseudo-demon Lilia couldn't stop him, so there is a reasonable explanation for Gillis's hasty escape.

After hearing his words, the officiant's brows were furrowed.

Because there are no key clues in it.

All he knew was that the other party seemed to be disguised as Ole Sorensen and was following the prince.

Maybe he has other plans.

Although the real Ole Sorensen is not weak, he is by no means Lilia's opponent.

Thinking of this, the officiant Dean Bodo Mendy waved his hand.

"You guys will be on standby near the giant city of Lentax for now!"

"I want to talk to Archduke Jonathan in person!"

"Prince Carter may have provoked someone special this time."

After saying that, Dean Bodo dispersed the projection.

Lilia's strength is not weaker than him.

If the opponent can easily abduct Lilia, it means that he is at least a low-level demigod in terms of combat power.

He probably has a weak divine power in his body, and even if Dean Bodo takes action personally, he may not be sure that he can suppress the opponent, which makes him feel a little aggrieved.

Without any hesitation, the officiant stepped towards the secret room.

A statue resembling the pseudo-demon Lilia was taken out from the secret compartment.

This statue represents Lilia's evil structure and can remotely sense the state of the [Evil Core].

It can also be positioned.

But not long after Dean Bodo took it out.

The statue suddenly shattered and weathered, turning into ungraspable sand and falling bit by bit from his fingers.

"This...this is..."

He was so stunned that he couldn't speak.

This situation represents two possibilities.

The first is that the [Evil Core] rooted in Lilia's body has been permanently deprived and destroyed.

The second type means that Lilia was completely destroyed together with the [Evil Core].

The former is even more terrifying than the latter.

Because it is more difficult to deprive the core than to destroy it.

It is not an easy task for a demigod-level powerhouse to completely destroy the [Evil Core].

It requires a demigod-level strongman to use his own weak divine power to destroy it in the form of annihilation exchange.

This will greatly damage the reserves of divine power.

For a demigod-level powerhouse who has not condensed his divine personality, lit the divine fire, and created a divine kingdom, every ounce of divine power is particularly precious.

Because divine power can suppress most of the forces in the main material world.

It is also the confidence for a demigod-level powerhouse to show off his strength.

No matter what the situation was, it proved that Lilia was indeed kidnapped.

"Huh...huh..."

After breathing heavily for a few times, Dean Bodo calmed his thoughts.

"The Three Extremes God is above!"

He recited the prayer silently, and then hurriedly left the secret room, taking out the [Messaging Mirror] to contact Archduke Jonathan!

If something like this happens, he must seek an explanation from the Grand Duke!

…

Zong Shen, lying in the wheat field, looked thoughtfully at the golden subtitles in front of him.

The above content is all about the situation of the Calamity Raven Church.

(A glimpse of the future trajectory can be seen in the edge of the Calamity Frost Raven God and the rules.

He saw endless light in you

I plan to cooperate with your actions and take advantage of you in order to seek opportunities to spread faith in the Endless Continent after the new era. I will take the initiative to contact you after the arrival of its projection.

In addition, He left two other things through the hands of Archbishop Byron, which are also related to the future reception of God)

…

Gently dismissing the golden subtitles in front of him, Zong Shen finally understood Archbishop Byron's change in attitude towards Sally. As for "peeping into the future trajectory at the border of rules", he understood it as something similar to "future vision" and "future vision". prophecy" and the like.

The hint probably means that the Raven God discovered that he is a potential stock.

Be prepared to look for opportunities to show your kindness to him and say hello in advance.

But the specifics will not be known until the projection of God arrives.

But what Zong Shen cares about is not the attitude and opinion of the Raven God of Disaster towards him.

But the margins of the rules.

Judging from this piece of information, it is indeed difficult for gods to interfere with the main material world of the Endless Continent.

But traces of the future can be glimpsed in a special way.

At the same time, carry out targeted layout.

Judging from the word "peeping", even God cannot see into the future openly.

So this situation is full of contingencies.

It has characteristics that are difficult to replicate.

After all, Zong Shen's recent plan is indeed deeply involved with the Calamity Raven Church.

It cannot be ruled out that this involvement creates an invisible line of cause and effect.

Without delving into these profound concepts, Zong Shen was more concerned about what kind of help the Raven God of Calamity and Frost could give him, and what level of feedback he should give.

Since it was cooperation, it meant that the Raven God must have demands on him.

What gods need is faith?

Or is it some kind of higher requirement?

Zong Shen shook his head, not intending to continue wasting his brain cells.

Whether it is now or in the future, it is difficult for gods to directly interfere with the main material world.

At most, it can only be projected, and its impact is actually very limited.

He knew this.

As time goes by, the night starlight fades little by little.

The sky in the distance turned fish belly white.

A new day is coming!

Zong Shen cheered up, returned to his original appearance and flashed back to the mainland.

Walking towards the city.

Today he will participate in the competition in his original capacity!

…

"What!"

"No way!"

"There is definitely no strong person who can compete with the demigod level in the giant city of Lentax!"

Grand Duke Jonathan looked at Dean Bodo in the magic mirror, whose face was so gloomy that he could drip water, and he denied firmly in a surprised and firm tone.

This made Dean Bodo, who was already in a gloomy mood, look even more ugly.

"Your Excellency, are you questioning my words?"

He asked bluntly.

The Three Extremes Church, like all major churches, naturally has a sense of superiority and even looks down upon the kingdom's nobles.

If it weren't for the Temple of Holy Light, no church could compete with the kingdom.

They must play the trick of the divine right of kings.

The Holy Light Temple has no ambitions for hegemony, even though the temple priests are spread across the entire continent.

The temple also remains out of the power dispute.

Of course, it is this harmless attitude that makes most kingdoms hold a neutral attitude toward the spread of faith in the Holy Light Temple, neither opposing nor supporting it.

Dean Bodo's unceremonious tone made Archduke Jonathan look sullen.

But it also proved that what he said was indeed true.

So after a moment of silence, Grand Duke Jonathan answered solemnly.

"I will raise the troops."

"But it will take time, and it will take five days at the earliest."

"Don't worry, as the Duke of Avalon, I promise you that I will give the church the truth."

After hearing Archduke Jonathan's statement, Dean Bodo's expression relaxed slightly.

"The Three Extremes God is above!"

"I hope His Excellency the Duke will keep his promise."

"Don't forget that His Royal Highness is also there."

"I have reason to suspect that the strong man lurking around the prince has evil intentions."

He took the initiative to mention Prince Carter, who was Archduke Jonathan's weakness.

There was no answer, and the picture in the communication mirror was interrupted.

Jonathan Pendragon stood beside the bed in the castle, squinting at the rising sun.

"Send the order!"

"The giant city of Dabos, the giant red maple city, the giant city of Kobol, and the Shadow Dragon Knights stationed near the Sunken Swamp can enter the state of war and assemble!"

"The target is the giant city of Lentax!"

"Also, let those people go to Lentax with me."

After he finished speaking, a respectful reply came from the empty space next to him.

"As you command!"

Ripples appeared in the air, and the bodyguards who were moving forward were suddenly revealed.

Then he rushed to the communication office with his order.

…

After dawn.

The giant city of Lentax, inside the Marquis Castle.

Marquis Henry hardly slept all night.

He washed up early at dawn and put on his family's storm armor and bright red cloak.

Penny Lancaster also dressed up carefully, putting on a formal dress with a wide bracket skirt.

The arena located in the second circle has been refurbished and decorated.

Today's competitive meeting will be held as normal!

Countless city residents have long been guarding the magic energy projection points placed in the streets and alleys.

Players participating in the competition also took out their registration vouchers and entered the backcourt to wait for the draw.

The entire arena is huge, divided into 12 entrances, and can accommodate more than 36,000 people.

All tickets were sold out more than a month ago.

Therefore, there have been many cunning people trying to sneak in in the name of registration.

This is one of the reasons why it is necessary to conduct a strength test screening before registration.

At this time, there was a sea of ​​people outside the arena.

The restlessness in the city yesterday did not affect people's enthusiasm.

As long as the disaster of death does not come to their heads, people will never be in awe.

Zong Shen entered the venue smoothly. He competed under his real name and did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

It is worth mentioning that it saw many lords in the backcourt who heard about it.

The lords surrounding the indigenous forces are like locusts, and will never miss the opportunity to intervene in the activities of the indigenous people.

And this grand athletic conference is obviously the best way for them to contact the aboriginal people.

But Zong Shen understood that these guys were destined to be in vain.

In order to prevent these guys from doing bad things, when he was preparing to compete, he used [Ma Huateng]'s ID information as a disguise to prevent the lord from becoming agitated after seeing his name information.

The draw will take place at 8am.

At that time, they will be divided into 12 groups, each group has about 120 people, which is considered an audition.

There are 36 square arenas in the circular arena.

Participants will wait in groups of two to compete in the ring.

Wearing one's own weapons and armor is not allowed during combat.

You can only wear the standard leather armor provided by Jucheng, and the weapons used are also made of wood.

Even the arrows must be plucked.

Therefore, martial arts is not the mainstream, but hand-to-hand combat is.

Zong Shen doesn't care about this, he is still a monster regardless of whether he wears equipment or not.

He can defeat most of the participating aborigines with his bare hands.

Not to mention those lords who fish in troubled waters.

Participating in the rodeo itself puts no pressure on him.

He just wants to blend in among the contestants and quietly wait for all forces to break out!
