Chapter 252 The end of the banquet and "Fangbeiyuan"


Chapter 252 The end of the banquet and "Fangbeiyuan"

A "crazy level" golem? Irfan said, do you want to use it as a meeting gift for me?
Luo Xiu was stunned, and there was a slight surprise in his heart - he knew what benefits this level of demon puppets had for him.

If used properly, it will be able to exert combat power comparable to the "fourth level of destiny". Even if Luo Xiu is about to be promoted to the "fifth level of destiny", the more such combat power, the better.

He couldn't stay in the church all the time, and having a "Crazy Era" level demon to guard his home would also make Luo Xiu feel more at ease.

What Luo Xiu valued even more was the unique "functionality" possessed by most "Crazy Era" level demons.

Just like the former "generalist" Rockland, the demon doll "Battery Ram" he holds specializes in blasting skills. Luo Xiu can supplement some of the church's resources from the demon doll that Irfan will give to him. Defensive shortcomings.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu immediately said to Irfan:
"Thank you for your gift, Your Excellency Irfan. I was disrespectful, so I accepted it with gratitude."

"It's just that asking other clergymen to go to Fangbeiyuan will always lose our sincerity. I will personally visit Fangbeiyuan. This is the proper etiquette of the church."

——Luo Xiu is always worried about letting other priests accept the "Crazy Era" level demon doll. And when he went to visit Fangbeiyuan himself, he still had a choice.

Irfan didn't seem to realize the meaning behind Luo Xiu's words. When he heard Luo Xiu say this, he only thought Luo Xiu was being humble.

"Haha, Sir Luo Xiu. If you are willing to come, Fangbeiyuan welcomes you at any time."

Irfan said, and then he ended the topic and said:
"Let's talk about the 'Hidden Elder' Babelun first. Regarding his appearance, we may be able to provide some useful information. ”

"The former 'Attendant of the Sage' Babron Dias, his profession is the 'Senior Great Alchemist' with the fifth level of [Intellect]. In addition to the 'Alchemy' profession, he also has the 'Rune' "When his professional training reaches the fourth level, his creations will have obvious duality of alchemy and runes."

"According to the information we have known before, Babelun has completed more than ten creations of the 'Crazy Era' level, and three demon dolls of the 'Natural Disaster' level."

"You should know the concept of what I am talking about - the demon dolls that have reached the level of 'natural disaster', each of them has the characteristics equivalent to the extreme of the 'Fourth Path' or even the 'Fifth Path' of becoming a saint. combat power.”

After a pause, Alfan observed the normal reactions of the people around him, and then continued:

"But Babelun can only control at most two 'natural disaster' level golems at a time, which can be his breakthrough point."

A saint with three "natural disaster" demon dolls... Luo Xiu thought about it, and he had vaguely realized that Babylon would be a difficult opponent.

And this information is still "outdated". Currently, Babron still possesses the taboo knowledge in the incomplete "Saed's Codex". As the elder of the "Hidden Omniscient" who has always advocated "no taboos", he has no The principle of not using those forbidden knowledge on your own creations.

While Irfan briefly introduced the characteristics of the "demon" owned by Babylon to the people around him, Luo Xiu had silently raised the threat level of Babylon to a higher level.

For about two minutes, after Irfan finished briefly introducing all the golem creations he knew about Babelun, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"...In short, 'Hidden Elder' Babelun , He is a difficult enemy to deal with. If he does come, we should be fully alert and cautious."

"This is natural." Baynes nodded.

"Okay, we have almost finished sharing the things we should communicate with each other."

Baines ended the conversation and said: "But the feast is not over yet, everyone. This is the end of the small gathering here, and we can't keep the guests below waiting too long."

"...Is it over? Then I'm going back to Fangbeiyuan." "Great Rune Master" Eureka yawned, then stood up and said, "As I said before, I am very busy."

"Excuse me, Your Excellency Eureka." Baynes said with a smile, "This is a banquet to celebrate victory, and the heroes who created this victory deserve to have freedom of time."

After that, Eureka left the "Grand Secretary Auditorium" and left the side court under the guidance of the guard knights. Frosa returned to his military residence to continue recuperating, while Irfan stayed as a representative of the 'Fangbeiyuan' and participated in the final banquet with Luo Xiu and Baines.

When the three most respected people in Red Maple City appeared on the main stage of the belly hall at the same time, the guests stopped their actions or exchanges and looked at Baines, Alfan and Luo Xiu. On the body.

Then, the entire auditorium suddenly burst into thunderous applause.

After Baynes raised his hands to signal silence, the applause gradually stopped, and a serious atmosphere suddenly enveloped the auditorium.

Afterwards, Baines gave a brief speech to the guests, roughly summarizing the victory of the previous decisive battle, commending the achievements of the invited officials and nobles, and then thanking the church and the Monument Court for their great contributions to the victory of the decisive battle. contribute.

Baines, Luo Xiu and Irfan all took turns giving such official speeches. Even though the atmosphere was serious, the officials and nobles present all watched and listened carefully, as if they were afraid of missing any word.

After Irfan also finished his speech, Baynes walked up to the stage and said loudly: "This is a banquet held for victory. Victory belongs to us, and it also belongs to you."

"Now - laugh! Drink! Dance! You deserve a great night."

After saying that, Baynes walked off the stage, walked to the middle of the crowd, and walked towards another beautiful lady.

It was a plump lady. From the dark-colored gorgeous dress she wore and some detailed decorations, Luo Xiu could tell that she should be the wife of a noble or official.

Luo Xiu, who had been standing quietly and observing, saw that the old inquisitor gracefully picked up the beautiful lady's soft little hand and invited her to dance with him in a calm voice that was old but full of connotation. The lady, who was an unknown noble or an official's wife, readily agreed, and her waist began to dance like a butterfly under Baines's gentle grasp.

The other beautiful ladies around all cast envious glances at the "lucky" lady. Only a slightly complicated expression flashed across the face of a fat nobleman with a red face in the corner.

Luo Xiu was happy to watch the show on the sidelines. He also received some guests who came to make friends and chat from time to time until the banquet was over.

late at night.

The banquet in the side court finally came to an end in the night, the guests left the table one after another, and the lights in the chief auditorium gradually went out.

The afterglow of the lights reflected on the walls of the auditorium, reflecting a faint luster. The air was filled with the mixed aroma of incense and wine, and there seemed to be lingering echoes of lively music and laughter.

The servants were walking between the pillars, packing glassware and silver tableware. Their steps were light and their movements were neat, as if they were avoiding disturbing the gradually quiet atmosphere of the chief auditorium.

Luo Xiu also took the clergymen, and after saying goodbye to Baines, he walked out of the chief auditorium, left the side court, and took the carriage that had been prepared in the side court to return to the church.

By the time we returned to the church, it was already early in the morning. Luo Xiu returned directly to the residence of the high priest, and the other assistant priests also went to their respective homes to seize the last sleep. …

The night falls and the morning light rises.

The next morning, when the sunlight completely penetrated the curtains and illuminated the bedroom until it was bright, Luo Xiu woke up from his sleep.

At the banquet the day before, he drank a lot of wine. Even an extraordinary person would find it difficult to refuse the intoxicating liquid - Luo Xiu now fully understood this sentence.

However, it is precisely because of them that Luo Xiu's tense nerves have been relieved a lot. He now feels full of energy.

Getting up from the bed, Luo Xiu grabbed the large sacrificial gown from the waistband and put it on, then straightened his appearance a little, then opened the door and walked out of the room.

On the way to leaving the high priest's residence and heading to the Holy Office to handle routine matters, Luo Xiu confirmed today's schedule again.

——After dealing with the new church affairs, go to the "Old Monument Courtyard" to find the "Great Knowledgeer" Alfan to get the golem; then, go with Anthony and the "Holy Inquisitors" of the Holy Inquisition , went to the coniferous forest outside Red Maple City to investigate.

After confirming the schedule, Luo Xiu also came to the Holy Office and started to deal with the day's affairs.

About an hour later, Luo Xiu finished handling all the newly added matters, then left the Holy Office and went to the Holy Inquisition.

According to the usual practice, if the "officiant" goes out to visit or communicate with peers, he must bring at least one attendant with him. Anthony needed to prepare for the subsequent investigation, but Pamier happened to be in the Holy Inquisition at this time, so Luo Xiu asked Pamier to accompany him.

Afterwards, Luo Xiu and Pamier left the church and went to the 'Fangbeiyuan' under the 'Tower of Sages', which was located in Red Maple City.

The location of Fangbeiyuan is located in the outskirts of Red Maple City near the border.

Unlike the Bianting, which directly designated the entire area as a "military forbidden area", the site of Fangbeiyuan was specifically chosen in a sparsely populated and quiet location - in this way, their scholars and magicians would not be subjected to There will be less interference, so that you can concentrate on research and provide more and better research results for the side court, the church and the Red Maple City Guards.

Of course, there are other reasons besides this - the process of putting research into use in "Fangbeiyuan" often requires a lot of experiments. And their "experiments" always make some big noises, and they choose to be located in the outer suburbs to reduce this impact.

Luo Xiu and Pamiai have arrived at the suburb where the Square Bei Yuan is located. From a distance, they can already see the towering iconic stele tower.

Until he got close to the magnificent "Fangbei Courtyard", Luo Xiu suddenly heard a huge explosion of "-Boom!"

He felt his cheeks being squeezed and cut by sharp air waves, and his eyes couldn't help but move towards the source of the explosion.

Several rune magicians in blue robes were standing in a twisted shape in a specific direction. Each of them held a small stamp like a seal in their hands, drawing some ancient symbol in the air.

In front of them, stood another alchemist wearing a blue robe, but the pattern on the robe was more complex and exquisite.

That was Eureka, the "Great Enlightenment" and the "Great Rune Master" by profession. He was also holding a stamp in his hand and was drawing symbols in mid-air.

But unlike other warlocks, the symbols painted by Eureka left deeper and brighter traces of light in the air. The dark blue light flows on the lines drawn into symbols, and some kind of destructive power is contained within them.

——Rune! This is also a form of use of "runes". They are not just used to be carved on creations to "enchant" them, but can also be cast by drawing specific airborne runes like regular magic.

Luo Xiu watched from a distance, and he saw other warlocks drawing the same runes as Eureka, and the drawn runes slowly floated towards Eureka's runes, like moths attracted by the light.

--boom! The moment several small runes came into contact with the large runes drawn by Eureka, countless tiny blue fires burst out from the contact point of the two runes, and then a violent explosion broke out!

That was the source of the previous loud noise and the air wave like a knife... Luo Xiu thought to himself. It seems that Eureka is doing some kind of experiment with the rune magicians, but the results of this experiment seem to be unstable and can be regarded as a failure.

"...Bang." A moment of disappointment flashed across Eureka's face. The stamp in his hand immediately erased the traces of the air-sustaining runes. He turned to another rune warlock beside him and said, "Olele, record this. ——The thirty-eighth experiment of the mysterious rune fusion of 'Blue Fire' failed because of the lack of stability and compatibility of the runes themselves, and we need to find a way to perfectly integrate them."

"I have written it down, Lord Eureka." The warlock named Olele took out a notebook, took off the pen on his chest and began to write down quickly. The rustling sound of the pen tip across the paper was hidden in the explosion. The tail whistle sounded.

Eureka did not stay where he was. He simply ordered the other warlocks to clean up the experimental site, and then walked in the direction of Luo Xiu.

When she came to Luo Xiu, Eureka greeted you: "The Fangbeiyuan welcomes you, Sir Luo Xiu. You are here to see Irfan, he is in the Fangbeiyuan."

"May your holy light shine forever, Your Excellency Eureka. You don't seem to be surprised by my arrival?" Luo Xiu greeted with a smile and asked in return.

"Because you said yesterday that you would come to Fangbeiyuan in person to visit you. I just didn't expect it to be today."

Eureka said: "Of course, focusing on efficiency is also an excellent character. And we did get the news of your arrival in advance through the 'ghost falcons' deployed around."

The 'ghost falcon' is also a type of demon puppet, and is a unique reconnaissance method used by extraordinary people with [intellect].

This can help the church... Luo Xiu thought to himself, and then he smiled and said to Eureka:

"Then I won't disturb your experiments too much, Your Excellency Eureka. Can you lend me a scholar to lead the way? I'm very interested in the 'Fangbeiyuan' and want to know more about you."

"Of course, Lord Luo Xiu." Eureka nodded, and then he turned to the rune warlock Olele who had recorded it for him before, and said:

"Aurele, come and guide the guests of the church. Let Acelius do the recording work for the time being."

"Yes, Lord Eureka."

Oleile nodded in response. He then walked up to Luo Xiu, bowed slightly to Luo Xiu and said,
"I am Olele, the 'senior warlock' of Fangbeiyuan. Welcome to you, guests of the church."

"Please follow me and I will guide you."
