Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 454: Reaction (Added chapters seeking monthly ticket)

The Dragon Kingdom.

The Capital.

A piece of news quickly spread amongst the noble salons and taverns.

The Dragon Queen’s mentor, the Dragonslayer－Su Lu Pottery has returned! And he is preparing to hold a sacrificial ritual in the capital!

This has received the queen’s full support, mobilizing her directly-affiliated army for his protection, thus causing a series of upheavals.

Inside a noble’s conference.

“Is the queen serious?”

A white-haired old man holding a wine glass asked, looking solemn.

“A ritual involving thousands of people, that’s too terrifying, we absolutely can’t let her do it.”

A young noble with a thick white foundation smeared on his face, like a sick ghost, squealed.

“But… the Dragonslayer’s side….”

The nobles present in the meeting were very hesitant.

The next moment, a young knight rushed into the meeting room, saying urgently, “It’s terrible… the queen’s court wizards and swordsmen have raided several manors, arresting both Master Locke and Master Blackfish!”

These were all fourth-tier professions supported by the nobles, which can be said to be their strongest force in the capital.

But now… they’ve been clamped down on directly?

All the nobles couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat, realizing the queen’s determination.

“It seems… it’s inevitable.”

The elderly noble rose to his feet, casting a glance around him: “A temporary retreat, quite necessary.”

Faced with the royal power of the Dragon Queen and the Dragonslayer combined, even the Noble Alliance had to retreat temporarily.

…

“The Ritual Circuit is also ready.”

High in the sky, Su Lu quietly looked down at the capital.

In the heart of the capital, on the square, a massive altar had been erected, and around the capital, there were ritual patterns he had set up.

Besides this, vast numbers of troops were orderly entering the capital to maintain order, with preparations also underway.

“The time for the ritual will be set at this evening’s twilight. This kind of speed is already the fastest… I just don’t know which side will react first?”

It seemed that Su Lu’s gaze was directed towards the Church of the Mother Earth Goddess in the city.

For this mainstream belief, what he was about to do was undoubtedly a severe challenge, an unforgivable principle issue!

He took a step forward and was already above the church, with inspiration spreading downward.

…

Inside the church, in the council hall.

“Is the queen trying to break the long-standing tacit agreement with the church? That’s too much!”

Many bishops who had been summoned to the council were in full discussion, all of them looking at the Pope in the main seat.

The Pope of the Church of Mother Earth in this world, was a middle-aged woman with an ordinary face, which at first glance gave a feeling of gentleness and kindness.

But at this moment, she slowly stood up, her face solemn, “This is blasphemy against our Lord, this ritual must be destroyed… I want you to go and proclaim to the followers of God, this is a ritual of the Evil God!”

The nobles may step aside, but the church absolutely cannot back down on this matter!

Even if it meant certain death, even if it seemed like attacking a stone with an egg, they had no choice but to do so!

“But… the Dragon Queen and the Dragon… and the army.”

A hesitant bishop began to speak, “Our military power within the city is not enough to handle even the queen’s army… and, as far as I know, there is no one in the church who has ascended to the [Shapeshifter Druid] transcendental position. As for the Dragonslayer’s side…”

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the Pope’s icy gaze along with the sympathetic or disgusted faces of those around him.

“Bishop Dolan, I question your devotion to our Lord!”

The Pope waved her hand, and two knights from the military department came in and dragged him away.

“Bishop Dolan will be subjected to a faith examination…”

The Pope slowly announced, and everyone knew that this bishop was done for.

For a while, everyone was so silent that they dare not say a word.

“Your Holiness the Pope! It’s bad news.”

Just then, a knock on the door was heard, a black-robed bishop stood up, went out for a moment, and then came back, looking unprecedentedly solemn: “Our latest news… our churches in the King’s territory, the Western Region, and the North Territory… have all been successively attacked by wizards! The losses are severe and they are still mounting…”

“An attack by wizards?”

The female Pope stalled, “Arrogant School?”

“Indeed, it was the Arrogant Wizards!” the black-robed bishop promptly answered.

“Damned Dragonslayer!”

The female Pope snorted coldly: “He also serves as a mentor to those arrogant wizards, but I didn’t expect… as the leader of the crazed faction, Allen would also obey his orders?”

“The Dragonslayer is a Crazy Tutor? He can control those arrogant wizards?”

This was still a secret news, and some black-robed bishops who hadn’t heard of it were suddenly astonished. “What should we do? If we can’t stop it in time, the foundation of the church…”

It is not easy to cultivate outstanding religious personnel.

First and foremost, they must be literate, which requires years of study, they also need to master some medical knowledge, and faith-related professions.

Now that the Arrogant Wizards are furiously attacking the churches everywhere, they are chopping at the roots of the Mother Earth Goddess Church.

“If Allen takes action personally, no external church can resist, only you Your Holiness can stand against him.”

The female Pope, although she was still a fourth-tier [Archbishop], relying on the foundation passed down by the Mother Earth Goddess Church, and several potent magical items, could barely reach fifth-tier strength.

This is the foundation of a church!

“Dammit!”

The female Pope stood up, her face red with anger: “If only I had a few more years… the church could completely cultivate a few [Shapeshifter Druids]!”

The Mother Earth Goddess Church, of course, also has a seal from ancient times with fifth-tier and sixth-tier foundation.

But most of the fifth-tier professions were worse off than the great Emperor Dragon, worn out by the long-lasting twilight of the gods.

Only the sixth-tier mythical body could have a much longer life, braving the twilight and winter that lasted for a thousand years!

But such a powerful existence was too strong, and the spiritual tide of this moment was unable to support it, so it remained in a state of sleep.

In other words, this was the weakest point for the church.

Torn between preventing the ritual and rescuing the churches, the female Pope immediately fell into a state of hesitation.

“Your Holiness, as long as you visit the Violet Territory, Allen must return to defend it, and churches everywhere should be able to hold against ordinary Arrogant Wizards.”

A monk in a hemp robe slowly started, “The ritual involving thousands of people, offering sacrifices to the ancient spiritual realm, is actually not evil, but neutral… following the teachings of the goddess, we prevent too powerful professions from emerging, and this ritual is only a precursor for fifth or sixth-tier professionals… even if they succeed, whether they can advance to the next stage is unknown, and even if Dragonslayer becomes a sixth-tier professional, he won’t be able to adapt to this world, he must leave or self-seal, waiting until the world can accommodate sixth-tier professionals, at which point our Church’s foundation should also have emerged, by then we will have more methods!”

“And once the foundation of the church is destroyed… rebuilding faith will not be a matter of one or two days.”

The female Pope quickly fell into deep thought.
