For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King

   Chapter 203 Failed Secret Instrument

  Storm Province, Wanren City, Terra Cathedral.

  Because of the previous icon apparition events, in the past few months, a large number of devout believers from various provinces of the empire have rushed to the Eighth Order's titular Highest Temple pilgrimage.

   And the Eighth Order also did not waste such an opportunity to expand its influence, except for the more cautious martial law during the initial period. In the follow-up, they continued to carry out powerful sermons and preaching, making full use of this incident that might have turned into a catastrophe, and in conjunction with the propaganda of the Imperial Expeditionary Force sending troops to Awa, it strengthened the public's understanding of the Eighth Holy Spirit and Rui. The support of the royal family.

  Now, almost every day, countless devotees go to the Cathedral of Terra just to hear the preaching of the eighth Holy Spirit's spokesperson in the world - the Patriarch of the Eighth Order Adrian. And the business of the hotels, taverns, inns and other shops in Wanren City is also booming. This city, which has been declining because of the relocation of the Royal Family of Riel, also seems to be radiating the second spring in the past 800 years.

   "As I said before, it's fine to publicize as long as it is necessary, but it will be troublesome if it is like this..."

   Listening to the sound of prayers outside the church that was enough to cover up the hymn, Adrian said helplessly.

   Today is not a day off for the church, but the Cathedral of Terra is closed.

   Not only is the gate closed, it can even be said to be heavily guarded—even when the Holy Manifestation event just happened, it was not so heavily guarded.

   Heavily armed church paladins and guards from Wanren City blocked hundreds of believers who wished to make pilgrimages outside the church door.

Because at this moment, Patriarch Adrian and his eight archbishops, three senior leaders of the Star Council, and a black-robed man who exudes the breath of strangers, are holding a very important event inside this church. Big Secret Instrument.

The huge chorus evoked a sufficient amount of faith resonance with the singing of the soul. The high-level members of the Star Council continued to supply magic power in a dizzyingly complex magic circle, and the mysterious black-robed man was It is communicating the power of the moon realm.

   And these are just the auxiliaries of this secret ceremony, the real subject of the ceremony is the church itself.

  The founding emperor, Terra Riel, ordered the construction of the Cathedral of Terra two years after his failed conquest of Ava. At that time, the Imperial Senate had always been critical of the design of the landmark buildings of the empire in the elf architectural style, but after the event, His Majesty the Emperor suppressed all those opinions and issued a tough order.

The reason why   Tara Riel did that was for such a day.

The Cathedral of Terra, built in imitation of the Palace of the Moon City, uses the power of the mist spirits of the high elves to use it through the resonance in the symbolic sense, so that the power of His Majesty the Emperor transcends cause and effect, and is engraved in the cycle of fate. .

   This was something he had planned more than 800 years ago. Although the probability of success of this plan was outrageously low, it was also worth a try.

And for this plan, the Eighth Religion did not hesitate to cooperate with the blasphemous existence in the moon realm, using the nihilistic king named "Iron Heart Widow" to make a container capable of containing the power of the Holy Spirit Terra, and to penetrate the wedge into the enemy's heart. inside.

   But these things are destined to be impossible to explain to the devout people outside the door.

   Those who have not yet become gods must be promoted as gods before they can become gods. Religion is, in a sense, indistinguishable from deception in essence.

   Adrian is one of the few who understands this truth.

   And what is even more commendable is that he still chose piety on the premise of understanding this truth.

   "Forget it, let's go on, finish these things early, don't miss the opportunity..."

   Within Adrian's cognition, there was no one who could share those feelings with him, so he had to sigh.

   Most of the people present were those who acted more than words, which, in a sense, seemed to be the habit of most powerful people in this world. Therefore, after hearing Adrian's order, everyone started their own work.

The   secret meter was activated, and various circles were lit up one after another.

Adrian, who is in the center of the secret ritual, feels the surging faith and magic power intertwined with the power of the moon. Then, separated by tens of thousands of kilometers of space, separated by countless concepts, he made his master sit still further. belongs to his throne.

  In the beginning, Miyi was smooth sailing.

   And then… a total failure.

   First, the expressionless man in black robe stopped communicating with Moon Realm on his own. Even the ascetic monk of the Demon Burying Organization responsible for security and surveillance scratched the man's neck with a dagger engraved with runes of pain, and the other party was unwilling to continue to cooperate.

   "This is the oracle of Lady Ayer. He will pay the corresponding price for his breach of contract, but the contract between him and Lord Terra has ended."

   That iron-hearted widow's spokesperson in this world said so.

   There was still no expression on his face, as if the pain that was enough to drive people crazy was just a breeze to him.

   Adrian nodded, then waved the ascetic monk from the Demon Burying Authority to step down.

   He understood that to inflict painful torture on a believer of the Iron Widow was like threatening a woman to castrate her.

   So he stepped forward and twisted the opponent's neck, took off the opponent's head, sealed it in the [Cocoon of Time], and threw it to the attendant beside him.

  The attendant looked at Adrian in panic and confusion.

   "Sacrificing the soul of this Ayre's spokesman in the present generation to the Void King who is hostile to him, we should change our cooperation partner."

   He said in his usual tone.

  It doesn't matter, without the assistance of the Moon Realm, this secret ceremony just becomes a little more difficult, after all, the most important place, the establishment of the connection has been completed, and then...

   Adrian thought so, and in the next instant, the Moon City Palace, which originally resonated with the Terra Cathedral, completely... disappeared?

  Its geographic coordinates disappeared directly from the world.

   Adrian was a little stunned.

   How could a palace suddenly disappear?

   The secret ceremony that lasted halfway was therefore stopped, and everyone else present looked at Adrian who was leading the ceremony, and their faces were full of confused expressions.

   "It's okay, maybe there's a little problem."

   Adrian who quickly calmed down said so.

   "Even if there are no physical coordinates, we can still use the matrix of the Holy Spirit's disk to search. As long as the matrix is ​​complete, there is nothing that is not within the scope of the eighth Holy Spirit's field of vision..."

As he said that, Adrian clenched the icon on his chest and used his authority as the patriarch to connect to the matrix of the Holy Spirit disk—or, to communicate with the Holy Spirit Terra, whose consciousness was split into countless pieces, borrowing Rediscover the lost Moon City Palace by His will.

  Although it will take a little more time, as long as you use the matrix to search, you will definitely be able to continue the secret instrument.

   And the entire Terra Church fell into a long and embarrassing silence.

  Time passed by, until Adrian borrowed the vision of the Holy Spirit and finally saw the outline of the Moon City Palace in a storm...

   He suddenly caught sight of a being.

   Those are a pair of silver eyes, exuding a power that is invisible to the bottom of the abyss.

   Then in the next instant, he was shaken back by a force like a hammer, and he was also disconnected from the matrix of the Holy Spirit Disc. At the same time, in his perception, the original precise Holy Spirit disk matrix became no longer complete.

   When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was surrounded by a circle of people at some point.

   Judging from the concerned eyes of those people, he seemed to be knocked to the ground by some force.

   "I, wow..."

   Adrian opened his mouth to speak, but the strong smell of rust blocked his words in his throat first.

   He looked down at his chest slightly, and his entire chest was sunken at this moment.

   Immediately, his consciousness was like a kite with a broken string, constantly drifting away until it almost dissipated.

   His last thoughts before he completely lost consciousness.

   The person who glanced at me just now, what is he?

  …

   "The presiding judge?"

   "Oh... what's wrong?"

  William asked after returning to his senses.

  Black looked at William a little worriedly and said:

   "Look at you just now suddenly stunned for a few seconds... is there anything you want to say?"

  William shook his head and said:

   "I don't know why, but I just felt like someone was staring at me from a distance along the disc of the Holy Spirit, so I simply fed back the last bit of magic power in the disc..."

   Although it is said to be "so little", it is enough magic power to maintain multiple clones at the same time.

   said, William looked at the disc in his hand that was broken into several pieces with some distress, and then raised his head and said:

   "But that's probably my own delusion... Well, it's time for you to talk about yourself. As mentioned earlier, Valk's subordinate "Reason" suddenly came to you, what did it say?"
