Chapter 157 Costadin Loses Confidence The bloody rose turned into a stream of light and returned to Lear's hands. "Blood believers! And damned mortals, I will definitely raze the entire fortress and kill all of you!" The snake man's furious roar was heard in the distance. Lear watched the snake man disappear rapidly into the darkness and had no intention of continuing to chase him. His magic power was almost exhausted. Albert wanted to give chase, but with his speed it was impossible for him to catch up with the snake man. He looked at the demon beside him and saw the Blood Apostle put away his weapon. Albert frowned, but soon he sensed something unusual. The demon in front of him no longer had much magic power. "Does Your Excellency the Duke want to cross the river and destroy the bridge?" Lear looked up at Albert meaningfully. He doesn't have much magic power left now, and if Albert attacks him, there is a chance to stop him. Hearing Li Er's words, Albert shook his head and said, "I have never been a person who would kick someone when he is down. It was you who saved Milia and the others. As long as you don't endanger the fortress, I won't do anything to you." Lear shrugged when he heard this. Albert's words were within his expectations. After all, believers in the Law of War and believers in the Golden Law were completely different.
"The Duke just said he wanted to talk to me. What is it about?" Lear asked. "Well, I heard that your target is the god under the rift?" Albert said straight to the point. "Yes." Lear nodded. "What is your plan?" Albert asked again. "Plan?" Lear was stunned. He thought for a moment. It seemed that what he said to Albert before was misunderstood by Albert. He would indeed help Lillian kill the Blasphemous True Spirit, but he did not make any plans of his own and was just waiting to break through to the extraordinary level. Now after hearing Albert's reminder, he realized that even if he broke through to the extraordinary level and with the help of Lillian's power, he could defeat the blasphemous true spirit, but there were still thousands of snake people in the Blood King City of the old dream. Those dependents are not easy to deal with either. "You don't have any plans yet?" Albert's expression became a little strange. Lear looked a little uncomfortable, but Albert saw nothing because his face was covered with blood. He shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't need a plan. Since the Serpent Clan is interested in your fortress and it has been exposed, they will no longer be secretive and will probably come directly next time." "I just need to wait for the Blasphemous Spirit to appear." Li Er said quietly, he could almost guess the reason why the Blasphemous True Spirit launched the beast tide ahead of time. The blasphemous law essence in Sheila's body was devoured. The blasphemous spirit probably thought that Lillian was planning to accumulate strength in the fortress to fight against him. The appearance of Lillian made the Blasphemy Spirit feel a sense of crisis, so the Blasphemy Spirit wanted to attack the fortress, occupy the fortress and devour the professionals to continue to increase its strength, and by the way see if it can get rid of Lillian? If this is true, Lear only needs to wait for the Blasphemy Spirit to come with his men. Albert's expression turned a little ugly because of Lear's words. If that god really descended to the Faro Fortress, could he resist it? "Don't worry, if the blasphemous spirit really appears, I will deal with it, but you will have to rely on yourselves to deal with the snake-men clans." Li Er reminded subtly that some news should be told to Albert. "There are more than a thousand snakemen under the rift, and the lowest of them are beginner professionals."
"There are two professions under the Law of Blasphemy. One is the Soul Master, and the other is the Law Thief." "The Soul Mesmers themselves don't have any offensive capabilities, but they can control the monsters. They are the ones who caused the monster tide." "As for the Law Thieves, they can steal the power of other laws. They can transform into any other professions, including professions of war law and my profession of blood law." He spoke word by word, and Albert was stunned. Such precious information, the Blood Apostle just gave it to him? "Why did you tell me this information?" Albert took a deep breath. "Of course I want you to hold back the snakemen." Li Er waved his hand pretentiously, "I am only one person, and I can't deal with thousands of snakemen." Li Er's words sounded like he was using the power of the Faro Fortress, but Albert always felt that the Blood Apostle in front of him was helping him. All of this should be due to Lear's relationship. It seems that the connection between Lear and the Blood Apostle is deeper than he imagined. "Thank you for your information." Albert looked deeply at the Blood Apostle in front of him. "I'm just using you." The bloody demon chuckled, and without saying anything more to Albert, he disappeared into the darkness. Seeing the disappearing figure of the Blood Apostle, Albert shook his head, turned around and waved to the knight beside him. "Everyone, go back." The knights who were watching the show stood up straight. What happened tonight really shocked them. The demons and snakemen were obviously professionals of heretical laws, and they were all very powerful. They were probably at the same level as their lords. The battle just now opened their eyes. Extraordinary level battles are rare. But these are not the main points. The main point is that the lord seems to know that heretic demon? Heresy is evil. Although the Faro Fortress believes in the law of war and has no dogma of judging heresy, such ideas are widely spread in the human kingdom. This is the influence of the Golden Church. None of the knights spoke. Ideas are ideas, but believers of war only believe in the truth they see! They all have their own judgment on whether Albert is evil or not. Albert ordered the knight to bring back the body of another high-level snake man killed by Lear. Everyone quickly returned to the Faro Fortress. When the knights on the Arc de Triomphe saw everyone returning, they were delighted and quickly opened the gate. Albert and Filia carried Millia and the other two girls into the fortress. At this time, Lear ran out hurriedly not far away. When Albert saw Lear appear, he always felt something was wrong, but he didn't say anything. He just handed Millia and Ino to Lear. "Where have you been, little brat?" Albert cursed with a smile. Li Er smiled and said casually, "Of course I went to ask for help. Father should have seen it, right?" Although he had guessed that it was Lear who called over the Blood Apostle, Albert was still a little surprised. It was so late, and the Blood Apostle was willing to take the risk to help Lear save Miria. The relationship between the two might be more complicated than he imagined. Seeing that Lear looked secretive, Albert didn't ask any more questions. He didn't want to ask too many questions about his reincarnated son. Reincarnated people were rare, so it was normal for them to have secrets. Albert glared at Lear unhappily, and waved his hand to signal Lear and Filia to take Milia and Ino away. Walton and Nicole also got the news and rushed over. When they didn't see Hana coming back, they realized something was wrong. After seeing that Hana was fine and just unconscious, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Lear held Ino and Milia, followed Queen Philea out of the Triumphal Square, and the four of them got into the carriage. "Your acting is really good." Queen Philea didn't look at Lear until she got on the carriage. Obviously, he was the Blood Apostle, but he kept Albert in the dark. His innocent look made Filia laugh. "Your Majesty, you also know that we heretics cannot be seen in public." Lear shrugged. As he spoke, he held Milia and Ino in his arms, and a bright red light sank into the bodies of the two women. Seeing this scene, Queen Filia raised her eyebrows, "What are you doing?" "I marked them. If they are in danger again next time, I can directly feel their location." Li Er explained. This time, Milia and Ino were kidnapped entirely because the snake people also kidnapped Hana. Li'er had put a blood mark on Hana a long time ago. Listening to Lear's words, the queen nodded without comment. She continued, "Are you planning to keep your identity a secret from Albert?" "At least I won't tell my father now." Li Er shrugged. "It will be safer if my father doesn't know about it. When I am strong enough to fight against the Golden Church, I will no longer hide my strength." "Against the Golden Church?" The queen was shocked by Lear's words. What is the Golden Church? That is the leader of the three major orthodox religions, but there are only four people with extraordinary professions in the open, and a retired high priest. No one knows whether they are still alive. Lear actually wants to confront such a powerful force as the Golden Church? "Yes." Li Er nodded confidently. As a former player, he knew better than anyone how powerful the Golden Church was. It is true that in addition to the extraordinary professionals in the open, there are also some hidden extraordinary professionals, but these are not important. There is a gap between the extraordinary and the extraordinary. With his current high-level strength, he can already compete with that extraordinary snake man. Once he is promoted to the extraordinary, it is not impossible for him to face the Pope. The Pope is the strongest person in the Golden Church. As long as a semi-saint can compete with the Pope, the Golden Church will basically not take action against him. Just like nuclear weapons, everyone has the strongest power, but once a fight breaks out, both sides will suffer losses. Perhaps Lear is no match for so many extraordinary professionals joining together, but he can escape. Then the Golden Church will be nervous. A strong man hiding in the dark at the same level as the Pope is enough to make the Golden Church uneasy. "Your Majesty, the real Golden Church is not what you see on the surface." Lear suddenly said meaningfully. "What do you mean?" Queen Filia asked puzzledly. Lear smiled but said nothing more. …… The next day, the news of the snake man quickly spread throughout the fortress. The scene where the snakemen kidnapped Millia and her two daughters was also cordoned off, and the corpses of the two knights on the ground were horrifying. It could no longer be called a corpse, as its head had long been shattered and its body had turned into minced meat. Its identity could only be confirmed through the list of missing knights. In Stuart Mansion, Lear was alone in the room, with Miriam and Ino lying on the two beds in the room respectively.
Both women were not seriously injured, just suffered some minor injuries. At this time, both women had woken up, but they were still a little too frightened and their faces were pale. "Lear, do you think I'm useless?" Millia asked sadly and fearfully. "How could that be?" Lear denied hastily. He looked at Millia. The little princess' mentality had indeed changed recently. No one wanted to be a vase, but Millia's identity destined her to be only a canary in the Faro Fortress. Li Er suddenly thought of what the Dark Star Goddess had said before. If Millia wanted to awaken the Law of the Morning Star, her spirit must be greatly stimulated. This method was neither difficult nor easy. Li Er pondered for a moment. He did have a way to stimulate Milia, but... Lear sighed and suppressed the crazy thoughts in his mind. That thought was too extreme. He didn't say anything else, picked up the breakfast beside him and fed it to Milia bit by bit. …… Under the old dreamland royal city, there is a blood abyss. Costadin came before the Blasphemous Spirit with injuries all over his body. The blood in the air condensed into a blood cocoon, wrapping up the blasphemous true spirit, leaving only the human face on the snake's body exposed. "Father God." Costadin curled up in the blood pool. With the energy injected into the blood pool, the injuries on his body were recovering rapidly. "Costadin, didn't I tell you not to disturb me unless it's important?" The face of the man who blasphemed the true spirit opened his eyes, with anger in his dark eyes. "Father God, the king chosen by the Lord of Blood has united with the humans of the Faro Fortress." Costadin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice. The Blasphemous True Spirit was stunned for a moment, and soon revealed a cruel smile, "Is that really the case?" "Sir, do we still want to attack the fortress?" Costadin asked hesitantly. "I went to the Faro Fortress. The Blood Apostle and the War Knight teamed up. They were two extraordinary fighters. I was no match for them..." "There are also blood apostles who can sense the mesmers. If they are discovered, it will be difficult for the beast tide to gather. Several mesmers have already been killed." Costadin continued to speak. Although he had made harsh words to Lear and Albert before leaving, after the battle with the two, his confidence in attacking the Faro Fortress dropped significantly. He is the only extraordinary professional in the snake clan, and he is no match for Lear and Albert combined. As for the rest of the snake people, there are only a thousand of them. Over the years, Costadin has also investigated the Faro Fortress and the renowned Mad Lion Knights. He also knows that without the beast tide, it would be impossible for his snakemen clan to compete with the Faro Fortress alone. But the Blood Apostles can sense the hidden Mesmers. If the Mesmers are eliminated, the beast tide will collapse on its own. (End of this chapter)
