Chapter 1041, They Have Already Met Today
The magnificent palace hall was now like a bustling vegetable market.
Those old ministers who were always known for their calmness had now lost their former dignity.
Low voices echoed among the marble columns, and the solemn hall was filled with discussions of surprise and disbelief.
Chaos, noise, quarrels!
“How… is this possible!”
"Three heroes, the Holy See has existed longer than the Association."
"Gods, that's not right... that's not what I meant!"
Those heroes who were praised as invincible and impossible to kill, died just like that, and three of them died in one go.
No one thought Brittany was lying because such a lie would make no sense.
It's hard to sustain even half a day.
Brittany sat on the throne and waited for the discussion below to gradually subside before she gave a cold order, "The Imperial Council, immediately execute the church expulsion order. Before dark, the decree will be sent to all places to expel the church personnel from the entire territory."
This time, no one raised any objections.
The three important officials stepped forward in unison, "We will obey the king's orders!"
"Week of Courage will restart tomorrow." Brittany continued, "Send medicine to the children injured during today's evacuation to help them recover to normal state."
The minister in charge of the tournament bowed deeply, his voice trembling as he received the order.
Brittany then went on to issue several corresponding decrees, all of which had been discussed for a long time before.
This time, Brittany bypassed various councils and gave the order directly.
When the last decree was issued, Brittany slowly stood up.
The gorgeous royal robe dragged across the steps, gleaming brightly in the sunlight. He looked down at the ministers from above. Wherever his eyes fell, people subconsciously lowered their heads.
"From today on, the Kingdom of Yeko will usher in a new era." Brittany's voice was not loud, but every word was full of power. "We will have our own heroes, our own independent regime, and we will usher in the most glorious era."
At this moment, Brittany's tone was full of confidence. This confidence was not the arrogance of royal blood, but the success in one major decision after another.
Those decisions that were called "national ruin" by old ministers have now become the cornerstone of the kingdom's rise.
After he finished speaking, you could hear a pin drop in the hall.
Brittany waved her hand gently, "Let's all go back and rest!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The ministers saluted and walked outside.
As soon as they walked out of the door, they unconsciously gathered together and started talking to each other.
Faintly one could hear words like "three heroes" and "revenge of the church".
……
The maid helped Brittany back to the bedroom. After the door was closed, her eyes lit up surprisingly, "Your Majesty, did the island master really win?"
Brittany raised her eyebrows, "Do you think there will be a second outcome?"
“No, no!” The little maid waved her hands hurriedly, her cheeks flushed with excitement, “It’s just… I didn’t expect the adults to be so powerful! They are three heroes!”
Then, he counted on his fingers and said, "Including the previous ones, we have killed five heroes of the Church, right? Does the Church have so many heroes?"
"Shh!" Brittany made a gesture to silence the others. "We should just keep it to ourselves. Don't say such things outside."
"I won't say anything nonsense." The maid poured a cup of tea and continued, "At the beginning, His Royal Highness the eldest prince forced us to Treasure Island, which actually helped us."
Brittany's eyes were vague, as if she was also lost in memories.
At that time, there was civil unrest in the kingdom and the royal family members began to look for forces that could support them. Brittany was desperate and ran to Treasure Island. She tried to convince Wu Heng to support her only with the help of great detective novels.
Thinking about it now, it was indeed a bit too naive.
But the ending is still good, better than expected.
"We are indeed very lucky." Brittany murmured.
Look out the window.
All that's left is to wait for my parents to come back.
……
Sat there and waited for more than 20 minutes.
The light curtain of the "Forbidden Soldiers" in the sky dissipated like broken gold. Wu Heng rushed to his bronze spear, picked it up and wiped off the dust.
He glanced at the properties and confirmed that there was no problem before he breathed a sigh of relief.
If something goes wrong with this weapon, the loss will be huge.
Wu Heng still didn't quite understand the scroll released by the other party that could restrict the use of weapons.
Scrolls of this level are probably no longer considered magic scrolls.
It's more like touching the level of rules.
There is no such thing as prohibiting targets within a certain range from using weapons.
Fortunately, I know a lot of different things.
Then, Wu Heng walked towards the holy sword stuck in the ground not far away.
The gem on the hilt still emitted a soft golden light, standing out against the charred battlefield.
[Guilty Glow (Wonderful Object)]
[Effects: Divine Judgment, Resonance of Faith, Blade of Divine Punishment. ]
【Side effect: Light hunger.】
(Description: Anyone who holds this blade must first judge himself.)
Condemnation glow!
The name is a bit difficult to pronounce, so the Holy Sword I gave it is easier to pronounce.
The holy sword has three effects in total, and with so many effects superimposed on each other, it is a rare and exquisite item under any circumstances.
It can be classified above the first level of merit.
[Divine Judgment]: The blade can release a pure holy energy, doubling the effect on dark creatures and causing irreversible purification damage.
[Resonance of Faith]: If the holder has a sincere faith, the holy power will be endless.
[Divine Punishment Blade]: Overdraw holy power, and the user's combat power and all attributes are improved.
All three effects increase combat power.
Moreover, it can be seen that this weapon is exclusive to the Holy See, and other people may not be able to use it even if they get it, unless you are also a believer of the Holy See with the same beliefs and attributes.
Continue to look at the side effects.
[Light Hunger]: After using the holy sword, the user will lose the sense of taste, touch and other sensory enjoyments, and can only be relieved through prayer.
You lose all the sensory enjoyment after using it, but it’s actually not serious.
With such a strong attribute effect, the side effects even feel a little small.
Moreover, judging from the description, it is more like the "abstinence" mentioned in the Vatican.
Overall, it is not wrong for this weapon to become the holy sword of the Vatican. It has good effects and few side effects.
"Uncle! How about this weapon?" Xiaoxiao looked at it curiously.
"The weapon of the Holy See." Wu Heng put away the holy sword casually. "It matches the attributes of the Holy See, so it is of little use to us."
Xiao Xiao said, "It looks pretty good with all the glittering gold. It can be used as a decoration in the entertainment city."
Granda smiled and said, "Isn't this a bit too ostentatious? After all, it is a special weapon of the Holy See and represents the identity of the religious leader."
"Afraid of them?" Xiao Xiao pinched her waist, but then said, "Then sell it to the Vatican and let them buy it back with gold."
"Isn't this aiding the enemy again?" Benny reminded again.
"Then it's useless." Xiaoxiao's tone was full of regret.
Wu Heng ignored the ghosts chattering behind him and continued to search carefully on the scorched earth.
Some fragments of broken props and some dropped weapons were also collected.
[Slow Dagger (Strange Item)]
[Effect: The speed of all moving objects within a radius of ten meters is reduced by 40%. ]
【Side effect: The user will experience a sense of hysteresis in synchronization. 】
(Description: Some say that the blade of this sword has been soaked in the poisonous blood of the 'Slow Beast', and any living creature that touches it will become clumsy.)
A short sword with a slowing effect.
It looks pretty good. I may not be able to use it myself, but I can give it to others.
[Domination Scepter (Strange Item)]
[Effect: Increases sacred skills and summons holy flames.]
[Side effects: One hour of soul whipping is required every day.]
(Description: A scepter called the 'Light of the Martyrs'. Some say that the holder's distorted face can be seen in it.)
This is another special weapon of the Holy See.
These rare items of the Holy See are really special. Once they are leaked out, no one else can use them.
After putting away this rare item.
Wu Heng walked towards the Count of Pizza who was still kneeling.
"Don't move!" Wu Heng said.
Count Pizza stopped moving, and Wu Heng swung the spear directly into the shackles.
Click!
There was a cracking sound and the shackles broke.
Count Pizza slowly straightened his back, brushed off the dust on his body, and then walked behind Wu Heng.
"Wipe your forehead." Xiaoxiao said.
Count Pizza picked up the corner of his clothes and rubbed it hard on the black mark on his forehead.
The bumps on the forehead were much lighter.
After Wu Heng confirmed that there was nothing here, he activated the [Mansion Technique] and let all the skeletons around him go in.
The mansion spell was closed again, and the [Teleportation Spell] was released to leave.
……
When the figure appeared again, he had already returned to the queen's bedroom.
Inside the room, the maid who was tidying up the room trembled all over.
After seeing who was coming, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "Sir, are you... okay?"
There was blood on the collar of his shirt, and he looked almost injured.
"It's okay!" Wu Heng looked past the maid into the inner room, "Where's Brittany?"
Before he finished speaking, the pearl curtain of the inner bedroom was suddenly lifted.
Brittany walked across the carpet barefoot, not even having time to fasten the ties of her nightgown, and fell straight into his arms.
Wu Heng could feel her slightly trembling fingers tightly grasping his collar.
"It's okay, the blood belongs to the enemy." Wu Heng patted her back gently.
Brittany looked up, the worry in her eyes receding, and she smiled and said, "You haven't had lunch yet? I'll have someone prepare lunch for you."
"Let's prepare the bath water first. Forget about lunch. We'll eat together in the evening." Wu Heng said.
Brittany glanced to her side, and the maid said tactfully, "I'll go get it ready!"
When the door closed gently, Wu Heng pulled her to sit down, and then continued to ask: "Is there anything wrong with you?"
"After the incident, I ordered the guards to block the Vatican Church, and all the clergy in the city were publicly beheaded in the square..." Brittany reported in detail.
Wu Heng listened and his eyes fixed.
Brittany's actions were bolder than she had expected, and while she was engaged in battle with the heroes, she simply executed all the city's priests.
"Are you so sure that I will win?" Wu Heng asked curiously.
Brittany raised her eyebrows, "You're a great detective, everything must have been planned out, isn't it natural for you to win?"
“Uh…” Wu Heng was stunned, “That makes sense.”
While the two were talking, the ghosts also flew back. Xiao Xiao came over and asked, "Princess sister, are you okay?"
"Should I be the one asking you? You are facing the enemy, and I am in the palace, so I will definitely be fine!" Brittany said with a smile.
Xiao Xiao said proudly, "We will definitely be fine. Just three heroes, no big deal."
Brittany smiled and said, "I feel the same way."
Soon, the maid came back and was startled when she saw the ghost, but she immediately recovered and said, "My lord, the bath water is ready."
Wu Heng nodded, "I'm going to take a shower, you guys chat first."
After saying that, he walked towards the bathroom.
Behind him, Xiaoxiao could be heard describing the battle with three heroes.
……
In the bathroom.
Take off your clothes and step into the bathtub.
The warm water wrapped around his whole body, Wu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense muscles finally relaxed.
Leaning back on the edge of the bathtub, I began to review today's battle in my mind.
The divination of the tortoise shell was still accurate. Even though no clues had been found before, the enemy really appeared in the Week of Courage today.
Moreover, there are three heroes coming this time, and they are obviously well prepared.
Among them, many highly targeted strange items were used in the battle, which was obviously a detailed pre-war arrangement.
However, after I changed my skeleton, my fighting style also changed.
This caused a part of their plan to go awry.
Moreover, the combat effectiveness of these three heroes is really too poor.
When he first fought with the previous Pope on Treasure Island, the port and half a block were razed to the ground. It was like a god descending to earth.
On the contrary, the further back in time goes, the worse the heroes that are arranged become.
Now even three of them can’t beat me alone.
"It must be because he was forcibly promoted to a hero."
Especially for a profession like priest, which requires a certain amount of time to be spent on prayer and various affairs of the Vatican. There is not much time for training, and there is also a lack of actual combat experience.
It is understandable that they cannot defeat us.
And the harvest this time was not low.
The three corpses of heroes can reach level 20 with a little training.
"There are three more ghosts..."
"Perhaps we can get some secrets out of him. We need to interrogate him carefully."
He thought for a while, thinking about everything, then stood up and walked out of the bathtub.
I changed into new clothes and left the bathroom.
……
Temple.
Inside the white marble hall.
On both sides of the slender white oak table, the current Pope and the leader of the Hongwen Society, Claudio, sat opposite each other, and the exquisite silver tea set emitted curls of hot steam between the two.
“The refreshments in the church are still as exquisite as ever.” Claudio took a sip of the scented tea, but his eyes were always fixed on the Pope’s face.
The Pope smiled and nodded, "It is an honor for the Church to have you like it."
After a brief greeting, Claudio put down his teacup, and the porcelain made a crisp sound when it collided with the marble tabletop. "The religious leader Draco has been back for a while, and the association's headquarters has a backlog of affairs. I wonder if he can go back with me this time?"
The Pope slowly wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, "What a coincidence, Draco has not returned yet."
Claudio's eyes narrowed, and he leaned forward and said, "Then I'll be frank! Chief Hadarai hopes that the Holy See will immediately stop all actions against Wu Heng and Treasure Island."
The Pope's smile did not change at all, he just raised his hand and asked the priest beside him to leave the room.
Then he whispered, "What a pity..., you are a step late."
"Hmm? What does this mean?" Claudio looked the other in the eye.
The sunlight was suddenly blocked by the passing clouds, and the light in the hall suddenly dimmed.
The Pope smiled with a confident look of satisfaction, "Perhaps they have already met today..."
