Gluttonous Warlock

Chapter 298 The Apostles
Star Observation Tower, Star River Guardian Residential Area.

One of the single-family villas was allocated to Allen.

This is the standard treatment enjoyed by two-star guards.

If Allen pays attention to enjoyment, he can also spend a little money to hire a handsome elf butler, a skilled halfling cook, and a group of charming succubus maids.

However, he felt it was unnecessary.

Most of the time, he practiced at the riverside hut.

There's no need to have a housekeeper for an empty house.

The restaurant on the first floor of the Star Observation Tower provides food for free around the clock.

Cleaning can be done with any magic trick, and there is no need to keep a group of maids doing nothing.

As for the bed warming service provided by the maid, there is no need for it.

Shiva, Renee, Sonia, Spanna, Helente... There are many confidante friends who accompany him to relieve his loneliness.

Sitting alone in the study, Allen was flipping through a book borrowed from the library.

According to the records in the book, Allen learned that a group of poisonous dragons lurked in the depths of the Styx in the Shadow of the Underworld, and they were the race of Leviathan.

An adult poisonous dragon must be at least a level 7 water-type and poison-type monster.

Tier 8 poisonous dragon is not uncommon.

Occasionally, a "hydra" similar to a hydra is born, which is a mutant variety and more dangerous than ordinary poisonous dragons.

Along the banks of the River Styx, there have been sightings of tier 9 and even legendary tier [-] poisonous dragons in recent years.

Whenever these huge water monsters appear, there will always be a disaster.

Allen closed the book, resting his chin in thought.

The Underworld of Shadows, the kingdom of the dead.

Except for the ancestors of the warlock world and the devout believers of the gods, most of the dead souls from other planes rest in the underworld after death.

The River Styx originates in the Shadowlands and flows through the Lower Planes.

Living people who come into contact with the water of the Styx will be cursed and lose their memory.

A descendant of the ancestor Leviathan migrated to the underworld, and gradually adapted to the local environment, drinking directly from the River Styx without losing memory.

Relying on this special physique, the Styx poisonous dragon thrived, and the scale of the group grew day by day.

Allen can teleport to the underworld, try to hunt an 8th-level poisonous dragon, and absorb the essence of blood.

But he didn't want to take the risk of losing his memory and becoming an idiot, diving into the River Styx and fighting the poisonous dragon who was good at water warfare.

It would obviously be easier to deal with if one could try to lure the poisonous dragon to surface on its own initiative.

With this thought in mind, Allen stroked the galaxy ring on his left hand.

The ring glowed slightly.

After verifying his identity, Allen established a spiritual link with the mystical enchantment of the Holy Demon Ancestral Court.

Through the mind, send the request of "checking the task list" to the fan lock center.

In Allen's view, the Mysuo Center is like the "intelligent brain" described in previous science fiction novels.

It stores huge amounts of data, and has computing power far beyond human beings, coordinating and coordinating all aspects of the entire city.

Not long after, Allen received feedback from the Mystic Center.

A large amount of data poured into his mind through the spiritual link.

Allen rubbed his forehead, and ordered the Taotie system to screen out items related to the Styx Dragon from all the tasks issued by the seven suzerains.

In a blink of an eye, the selected tasks appeared in my mind.

One of the background introductions caught his attention.

……

Mission objective: Hunt down "Pale Moonlight" Qi Yaluo (8th-level shadow silver dragon/evil god apostle/awakened person in the superlimit field)
Mission brief:
Qi Yaluo, a mature silver dragon in the Fairy Wilderness.

He was once the guardian of the elven city Xiguang City.

For some reason, the believers who degenerated into the ancient evil god "Queen of the Moon" secretly established a church in Xiguang City to worship the Queen of the Moon and developed cult members.

After the cult activities were exposed, they were jointly attacked by the two orthodox sects of Xiguang City - "Holy Light Church" and "Life Church".

In order to save the defeat, Qi Yaluo led a small group of fanatical cultists to massacre his compatriots and offer a blood sacrifice to the evil god "Queen of the Moon".

The moment the blood sacrifice was completed, the sky was shrouded in darkness.

The earth split into an abyss, like a pitch-black throat, swallowing Xiguang City in one gulp.

The residents of the city only found out when they came back to their senses...

The city I live in has been teleported to the underworld where the sun is dark and ghosts are rampant!

Fortunately, at the last moment, the mistress of the Emerald King's Court was vigilant and manipulated the roots of the World Tree to entangle Xiguang City.

Stop this elven city in time and fall into the river Styx.

Tens of thousands of residents in the city were able to save their lives temporarily.

The cultists headed by Chiaro were unwilling to reconcile the sacrificial ceremony to a failure.

On the one hand, they wreaked havoc in the city and massacred dissidents. At the same time, they stepped up blood sacrifices and summoned the poisonous dragon family lurking in the depths of the Styx, trying to eat the roots of the world tree.

If Qi Yaluo's plot succeeds and the roots of the World Tree are gnawed off by the poisonous dragons, Xiguang City will fall into the River Styx irretrievably.

All the residents of the city, except Chiaro and his followers, could not escape the fate of being buried in the Styx.

In order to prevent this imminent disaster, both "Tower of Heaven" and "Emerald King's Court" have issued urgent missions.

Recruit the Guardians of the Galaxy to go to the underworld to save Xiguang City.

……

After reading the background introduction, Alan then checked the tasks related to Xiguang City.

Every task has real-time updated information.

Including which Guardians of the Galaxy have been claimed, and how far the task has progressed.

Viewing these instant messages can avoid collisions and waste of manpower when receiving orders.

What a coincidence, Allen saw three familiar names in the task list.

Flynn, Tona and Nora.

……

Mission number: 07009
Time limit: two days

The Church of the Moon God tried to summon the poisonous dragon of the Styx to gnaw off the roots of the world tree and completely plunge Xiguang City into the underworld!

Please try to stop the crazy heretics, protect Xiguang City, and kill Qi Yaluo!
……

Mission number: 07010
Time limit: one week

Eliminate the Luna Cult entrenched in Xiguang City and rebuild the Church of Life.

……

Mission number: 07011
Time limit: one week

Eliminate the Luna Cult entrenched in Xiguang City and rebuild the Holy Light Church.

……

Tao Na, Felin and Nora all took the first mission.

Tao Na and Fei Lin also took on the second and third missions respectively.

Allen knew that the Goddess of Life worshiped by the "Church of Life" was actually Luo Tianhua, the "Master of Life" among the seven suzerains of the Holy Demon Ancestral Court, who awakened the "origin of life".

As for the idols of the "Holy Light Church", let alone.

Tao Na took over the task of rebuilding the "Church of Life", and Flynn took over the task of rebuilding the "Church of Holy Light", which sounded more like what a priest should do.

Does it show that the two are no longer pure warlocks?
With doubts, Allen sent letters to two old friends.

After some correspondence, Alan and the two agreed to meet in front of the teleportation tower and go to the underworld together.

The cultists in Xiguang City unintentionally helped Allen a lot by summoning the poisonous dragon from the bottom of the river to the city.

It is easier to deal with a poisonous dragon on the shore than in the river.

The main purpose of Allen's trip is to hunt down the poisonous dragon, and by the way, help Feilin and Tao Na complete the task of fighting the cult. He can also earn some merit and improve the level of the Guardian of the Galaxy.

In addition, you can also use the earned merit points to exchange some magic shells to cover up the magic shells you picked up by the river.

After making an appointment with Feilin and Tao Na, Allen took on the task numbered 07009.

Then he drew some blood from himself to prepare an anti-venom.

His toxin resistance is as high as level 8, which is enough to resist the Leviathan toxin of the level 8 poisonous dragon.

These two anti-drugs are prepared for Flynn and Tao Na.

Allen was ready and was about to go out when he suddenly sensed a familiar mental wave.

Turning around and looking, he happened to see a looming beautiful figure, which quietly entered through the wall and appeared in front of him.

It's the long-lost Fengyue!

Allen's heart trembled suddenly!
"Hehe... Old friend, are you surprised to see me here? Are you surprised?"

Fengyue's laughter sounded a little cold.

"It's really surprising, I thought..."

Allen groaned, apologetic.

"Sorry, Fengyue, I have an appointment with my friend, and I'm in a hurry, can we talk another day?"

"What's the hurry, I can't delay you for a few minutes."

Fengyue approached with a sneer like a vengeful spirit.

"Alan, my dear friend, why are you avoiding me?"

"I guess, you probably did something sorry for me, such as betraying the Holy Spirit Society and betraying me to the Holy Demon Ancestral Court?"

"I do not have……

Allen tried to defend himself, but she snapped him off sharply.

"If you really haven't done anything wrong, why don't you dare look me in the eyes!"

"........."

……

A beam of light rose from the square of the Star Observation Tower.

The fat young warlock stepped out of the teleportation array.

At this time, a clear voice called from behind.

"Hi! Flynn!"

The chubby young man turned around in search of the sound, smiled and waved to the beautiful girl with blue hair and blue eyes.

"Tao Na, I haven't seen you for a month, and you've become pretty again."

"Come on! Boy, don't do this with me."

Tao Na gave him a sideways look.

"Ellen's ecstasy soup can't make me dizzy. Your ability to speak sweet words is far behind him. Save yourself some effort! Seriously, what is your cultivation level now?"

"Late fifth stage, what about you?"

"I retreated to the riverside hut for a month, and I just rose to the early stage of the sixth level the day before yesterday! Fortunately, I didn't catch up with you!"

Tao Na patted her chest pretending to be happy.

"Don't worry, I will never be able to surpass you, a talented girl, in my life." Feilin smiled wryly.

Tao Na shook her head, and encouraged her old friend solemnly: "You are underestimating yourself by saying that, Fei Lin, don't forget, now you have merged the blood of the Behemoth Behemoth and the Lion Head Heaven! Even in the Holy Demon Ancestral Court, It can be called outstanding talent, and it may not be impossible to surpass me in the future."

"If one day, my cultivation surpasses yours, will you be unhappy and deny me as a friend?" Flynn asked.

"I'm not the kind of narrow-minded person! You are better than me, I will be proud of you, and then work harder to overtake!"

The two walked while chatting, crossed the square, and came to the gate of the teleportation tower leading to the underworld.

Tao Na stopped and looked Flynn up and down.

The fat boy was wearing a silver mail armor, a long sword at his waist, and a snow-white cloak.

Tao Na also noticed that the hilt of Felin's sword was engraved with a sun-like emblem.

The back of the cape also bears the same golden emblem.

It is clearly the holy emblem of the "Church of Holy Light"!

"You boy, you are obviously a warlock, why do you dress like a paladin?"

There was doubt in Tao Na's eyes.

"Couldn't you have joined the 'Holy Light Church' and become a clergyman?"

"Well... it's not exactly true."

Flynn's face was slightly embarrassed.

"You also know that my bloodline of 'Beast Angel' belongs to a branch of Celestial Warlocks, and I often deal with the predecessors of 'Heaven Tower'."

"I heard from seniors that there are factions in the Holy Demon Ancestral Court."

"Each of the seven suzerains has a faction that exists in the form of a sect, and their headquarters are located in the residences of the seven suzerains."

"For example, the Church of the Holy Light is headquartered in the Tower of Heaven."

"There is also the Church of Life, which is headquartered in the Emerald King's Court in the Fairy Wilderness. You often hang around there, so you should know better than me."

"New Galaxy Guardians, it is best to join one of the factions according to their own mentorship or blood relationship."

"Otherwise, it will be difficult to get ahead if you fight alone and have no one to help you."

"So, you chose to join the 'Church of the Holy Light' and became a celestial warlock and priest of the Holy Light?" Tao Na continued to ask.

"I'm not a priest." Feilin quickly emphasized, "I am the 'apostle' of the Church of the Holy Light, and I have been blessed by the 'Lord of Light'. I can guide the Holy Light, heal wounds, and fight against undead, demons, and cultists. That's all. That's all."

"'Blessing of the Holy Light' is essentially a 'charismatic grace'. The so-called 'Apostles of the Holy Light' are, to put it bluntly, priests!"

Tao Na smiled and exposed.

Flynn rubbed his fat face in embarrassment, and explained to himself:
"Actually, I decided to become an 'Apostle of the Holy Light'. Apart from being forced by the environment, I was mainly influenced by that boy Alan."

"Why, Alan also joined the Church of the Holy Light?" Tao Na widened her eyes in surprise.

"That's not true, but he told me in private, 'Lord of Light', his name before reincarnation was Angel, and he was Alan and I's old classmate and good friend."

"Although after reincarnation, my lord is no longer Angel, but he still retains some memories of his previous life. He takes extra care of me, an old classmate."

"Don't dislike my low strength. He took the initiative to invite me to join the Holy Light Church and become the youngest apostle with the lowest cultivation level around him. He also said that he was very optimistic about my future."

"Tao Na, in good conscience, can you refuse such an extraordinary promotion?"

"That's true." Tao Na felt the same, "If I were you, I would be flattered... Unfortunately, Luo Tianhua, the 'Lord of Life' worshiped by the 'Life Church', is not my old acquaintance, otherwise I would have made up my mind , become an apostle of life."

Sighing, Tao Na continued:
"Actually, there is a distant relative of the Russell family in the Emerald King's Court. He was once a once-in-a-century genius in the warlock world. He was recruited by the city of origin. Now he is an eighth-level natural warlock and a four-star galaxy guardian."

"This Master Qinglan, who cared about my family, took good care of me, and even invited me to join the Church of Life."

"But... I still can't pass the hurdle in my heart. I always feel that warlocks are incompatible with the church. Joining the church is tantamount to surrendering to the opposing camp and betraying the ancestors who sacrificed their lives against the church of the gods in ancient times to preserve the inheritance of warlocks."

Speaking of this, a trace of confusion appeared in Tao Na's eyes.

Would a sorcerer who was part-time a clergyman, offering his faith to an idol, still worship his ancestors?

If the interests of the family and the church conflict, which side will she choose to stand on?
In ancient times, the ancestors tried their best to seal the gods, suppress the church, and established the dominance of the warlock family.

Warlocks have almost become the only extraordinary inheritance in this world.

Now, it seems the wind has changed...

The suzerains of the Holy Devil's Ancestral Court verbally insist on tradition and oppose religious worship, but privately they run religious associations, and even actively preach in the various planes in the name of gods.

They also select potential Guardians of the Galaxy and develop them into so-called "apostles". To put it bluntly, aren't they high-ranking priests?
What is the reason for these strange situations of inconsistency?
Without thinking through these issues thoroughly, Tao Na couldn't make up her mind to accept Master Qinglan's invitation to join the Church of Life.

In fact, Flynn couldn't help her answer her questions.

He has a more open mind and is good at adapting to new environments.

Don't ponder those difficult problems involving philosophy and theology, and don't care about legal disputes. First, consider immediate interests.

If joining the church can bring him benefits, but there are no obvious disadvantages, then join.

"Tao Na, since you didn't join the Church of Life, why did you take on the task of rebuilding the Church of Life in Xiguang City?"

Flynn changed the subject.

He is the "Apostle of the Holy Light", who can inspire the holy light through the holy emblem and prove his identity.

The Holy Light believers in Xiguang City naturally accepted his leadership and rebuilt the church destroyed by the cultists.

Tao Na is not an "Apostle of Life", so why did she gain the trust of the life believers in Xiguang City?
"Master Qinglan is the protagonist of rebuilding the Church of Life in Xiguang City. I take this task to help her, and to benefit from her and make some merits."

Tao Na stuck out her tongue and explained with a shy smile.

To hide his embarrassment, he took out his pocket watch and checked the time.

"Appointment to meet at nine o'clock, why hasn't Alan come yet?"

"I guess he's probably stalked by a confidante."

Flynn laughed.

Before the words fell, a beam of teleportation light suddenly rose nearby.

Both of them thought it was Allen who was coming, and rushed to meet him.

There was no sign of Allen in the teleportation array.

Four majestic silver dragons emerged collectively.

One of them is an adult silver dragon, wearing a gorgeous saddle.

The long-haired girl in a green dress sat gracefully sideways on the dragon's back.
