Chapter 860 New Diamond Milestone
It is necessary to be cautious in letting the clone test the mechanism of crossing first.
After all, Zhou Ning couldn't be sure what the past would be like, whether it was his body or his soul, or how his strength would be preserved. In a field he didn't understand well, being too reckless was a sure way to death.
According to the "Border Crosser" skill prompt, this clone will take 12 hours to return. Zhou Ning plans to wait until the clone returns before making any plans.
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Zhou Ning's doorbell suddenly rang.
The identities of the visitors naturally emerged in his mind: Meredith, wearing a black priest robe with intricate patterns, and Bishop Roger, with a thin face and gray hair.
“How could it be Him?”
After the adventure on Hood Island, Zhou Ning had a favorable impression of this socially anxious angel. He opened the door with a smile:
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Meredith put on an unnatural smile:
"It's been a while since we last met. Thanks to your help, I have become the King of Angels."
"...I didn't expect Meredith's progress is faster than mine." Zhou Ning looked at the other party with an unchanged smile, and found that the power contained in his body was indeed much stronger than before. At least his control over the authority of order had reached its peak. Zhou Ning could see groups of orderly white light balls flying around him. This should be the power of order.
Meredith raised her head, stared at Zhou Ning for two seconds and said:
"You should be close to the Angel King by now, right? I can provide the necessary assistance if needed."
Zhou Ning nodded and said, "It's indeed fast. At present, I still lack complete control of an authority and a miracle item. If you need anything, I will not hesitate to help."
Meredith nodded slightly, without saying anything more, but just reminded:
"It takes a lot of time to fully control authority, but it's actually not that difficult to fully control a miracle item. All you have to do is discover its additional uses or make it completely submit."
Seeing Zhou Ning lost in thought, Meredith said:
"I came to you this time for two reasons. The first is something His Majesty the God of War asked me to tell you. He didn't intentionally ignore your request, but the situation at the time didn't allow it. His power couldn't descend into the dream realm through the astral plane. The Church of the God of War doesn't abandon its allies."
"Your Majesty also told me to tell you that you should have a copy of the Falric Code in your hands. Proper use of the Falric Code can weaken the influence of dreams to a certain extent."
Meredith's words startled Patriarch Roger slightly: "What? A copy of the Falric Code?!"
He had come here originally because he was commissioned by Pope Gallup III to conduct tripartite negotiations, but what did he hear now? Wayne Stewell actually possessed a copy of the Falric Code?
.
According to the tradition of the Church of the God of War, this was clearly forbidden, and theft of God's authority would be punishable by the stake. But they couldn't investigate, because His Majesty the God of War had tacitly approved it.
Zhou Ning was also slightly stunned. After getting the copy of the "Fariq Code", he had never used it because he was afraid that the Church of the God of War would think too much. Now he can use it freely.
But Meredith's words were a bit abstract. What kind of laws could he make to hedge against the dream?
As for what Meredith conveyed, Zhou Ning actually didn't care. The God of War had no obligation to respond to his request for help... At least as an ally, the other party should be qualified.
Meredith paused and continued:
"As for the second matter, it's what Gallup and Stuart discussed last night. His Majesty the God of War gave a reply: The Church of the God of War can choose to join, the conditions remain unchanged, and we have already drafted a contract."
"Starry Sky Church, has the God you believe in made a decision?"
At this point, Zhou Ning no longer needed to hesitate. He nodded gently and said, "The Starry Sky Church has also chosen to join."
"Very good." Meredith smiled faintly and said to Zhou Ning:
"Then without further ado, let's go to Docklands. Unless there are any unexpected events, I will be in Docklands for the next period of time. Until this whole thing is over."
The Church of the God of War is truly resolute and swift... Zhou Ning asked tentatively:
“Do you know what’s going on inside the Life Church?”
"I don't know much about it. Like other Orthodox churches, they usually have 6 to 7 demigods, two to three angels, and more than two miraculous items. There were even more during their heyday. Their Pope is called Reynolds IV. He has lived for 2 years, the longest-lived of all known extraordinary beings. He is the King of Angels." Meredith said coldly.
"What about the Church of Alchemy and Craftsmen?" Zhou Ning continued to ask.
"I don't know much, but there are at least one or two angels in charge, and they have a deep background." Meredith said concisely. Then he looked at Zhou Ning and said in a deep voice:
"I remember you should have the authority to travel long distances, right?"
That's not authority, it's power... Zhou Ning nodded seriously, stretched out his hands to hold the shoulders of Meredith and Patriarch Roger. As a burst of starlight fell, their figures disappeared from the spot and appeared in St. Raymond's Cathedral thousands of miles away.
Perhaps because of the predictive power of the authority of "prophecy", at this time, Stuart Crow had already led a group of high-ranking members of the Ascetic Church to stand on the steps of St. Raymond's Cathedral to welcome them. St. Raymond's Cathedral has a total of five doors, and usually only doors 1 and 5 are opened. This time, all five doors were opened to welcome Zhou Ning and the other two.
At this time, there were many players watching the fun around, and when they saw Zhou Ning, they couldn't help but exclaim.
"Oh my god, could this be the main storyline?" Several players had stars in their eyes and were excited.
"Probably. According to the forum version 34, the main storyline should return to Dockland."
Meredith calmly glanced around and said to Zhou Ning opposite him:
"You are becoming more powerful and more mysterious."
Zhou Ning smiled without saying a word, and took Meredith up the stairs. Accompanied by Stuart Crowe, they entered St. Raymond's Cathedral.
Upon entering the church, Zhou Ning sensed a pair of deep, lofty eyes gazing down upon him. This was clearly from the church's venerated deity, the sun goddess Servis. She was also deeply concerned about this alliance.
In a magnificent hall inside the church, beneath a three-meter-tall statue of the sun goddess Servis, Meredith spread out a glittering golden alliance contract on a table and said in a deep voice:
"This is a contract signed by the Church of the God of War based on previous discussions. It is mandatory and fair, and once signed, there is no room for regret. I suggest you carefully review the above clauses and confirm that there are no issues before signing."
Zhou Ning gazed intently at the text, which was filled with dense rows of profound runes imbued with the power of justice and order. It listed a vast array of rights and obligations that allies possessed, detailing everything from the smallest to the smallest.
This includes that the gods behind the three parties must intervene at the necessary moment of war and must cooperate with each other without reservation; finally, the Ascetic Church must allow the War God Church and the Starry Sky Church to re-enter the Kingdom of Brighton to preach and establish dioceses.
Zhou Ning carefully read it over and over again, then materialized a pen and solemnly signed his name in the lower right corner.
Next came Stuart Crowe, who, after carefully examining it, also signed his name in the lower right corner.
At the same time, a prompt appeared on Zhou Ning's panel:
Congratulations, you've completed the Diamond Milestone: Friend of the True God Church. Legendary Points +1.
[Friends of the True God Church: Maintain alliances with both True God churches. You can pray for help from the corresponding True God/Angel to a certain extent.]
