Chapter 553: Legends of the Church of the God of War
Armandou,

Lionel walked in front of Li Si and Taiya, with two armored guards beside him, controlling Faith who was still in a coma.

"Mr. Li Si, you can take your companions to tour the city of Armandou."

"This is for you. It's a token from the church. If you need anything, you can tell the clergy of the church."

"I will take Faith with me to report the relevant matters to His Excellency the Archbishop, including your request."

Lionel handed Li Si a palm-sized black and red dagger, which, like the statue of the holy sword standing in the city of Armandu, carried a somewhat inexplicable sacred aura.

Li Si took the sword-shaped token from Lionel, took a look at it, and put it into the storage ring.

He happened to be looking for an excuse to wander around this holy city, and this opportunity came right to him.

As for whether the Church of the God of War would agree to his request, Li Si didn't care much.

Even if the act of killing the Knight Feisi was not enough to make the Church of the God of War pay such a price, Li Si could still negotiate with the Church of the God of War as the leader of [Nature's Wrath].

After all, there is cooperation between the two parties, and Li Si is qualified if he is willing to pay the price.

Unconsciously, Li Si has already possessed his current identity and status. As a member of the World Tree, even the Pope of the Church of the God of War needs to give Li Si due respect.

Seeing this, Li Si took Taya away and walked towards the center of the holy city.

When Lionel saw Li Si leaving, he ordered the church waiters to follow Li Si from a distance to prevent the elf sage from encountering any accidents in the holy city.

After giving the order, Lionel led his men towards the north of Armandou City.

It is the core church of the city of Armandu and also the most critical place of the Church of the God of War.

"Archbishop Flynn, this is exactly what happened."

In a secret room of the church, Lionel stood in front of a kind-looking old man and spoke respectfully.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lionel."

The Archbishop of the Church of the God of War, the legendary warrior [Immortal Guardian] Flynn Edwin glanced at Faith who was lying on the ground, nodded and said:
"Go and rest for a while. I will talk to Abraham about the decision on the fate of the Slaughter Knight Faith."

"As for Mr. Li Si, you can arrange for someone to tell him that the church has agreed to his request and will arrange for his companions to receive the baptism of the God of War."

"If he is not anxious to leave Armandou, tell him that some old friends and I wish to see him."

"Yes."

Lionel lowered his head and responded, somewhat surprised that the usually taciturn Archbishop would say so much this time.

But he didn't care and turned around and left the room.

This was a decision made by the legendary His Majesties at the highest level of the church, and it was not something he could change.

After Lionel quietly closed the door, Flynn looked down at Faith and shook his head.

“It’s indeed a violation of the commandments.”

"What do you think, Abraham?"

A black-armored warrior with a gloomy aura suddenly appeared on the chair that was empty just now. His figure seemed to merge with the shadows in the room, but he inadvertently revealed an indescribable majesty and power.

If Archbishop Flynn gives people a warm and gentle feeling, then this black-armored warrior represents coldness and iron blood. Having experienced thousands of battles, he will not be easily shaken by external influences.

"Deal with it as it should be dealt with."

A cold voice came out of Abraham's mouth, as if he didn't care at all.

Flynn shook his head. He knew that his good friend was not as calm and indifferent as he appeared.

"There will certainly be appropriate punishment, but Faith is your only granddaughter after all."

"That's why we can't make the same mistake over and over again!"

Abraham looked at the unconscious Faith, the aura emanating from his body fluctuated slightly, and was somewhat chaotic and violent.

"It's my fault that she became a Slaughter Knight even though she was not qualified. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened."

"Let Faith enter the Slaughter City. If she can change and come out of it on her own, then she will be qualified to make up for the mistakes she made before."

"City of Killing."

Flynn hesitated. This was not a good place.

It’s not that the City of Slaughter is a dangerous place, but it is an extremely important place of the Church of the God of War.

In order to maintain the church's faith and rule, the clergy of the Church of the God of War will hunt down those desperate criminals who destroy and resist the Church of the God of War.

If we succeed in capturing those people alive, we will bring them back and imprison them in the City of Slaughter.

The City of Slaughter is not a city in the desert, but a tightly sealed underground city of the Church of the God of War, which is equivalent to the church’s highest-level prison.

After throwing those desperate criminals into the City of Slaughter, the church no longer cared about them, but simply blocked the entrances and exits of the City of Slaughter with the power of the gods.

In this way, the Church of the God of War cannot intervene in the affairs of the City of Slaughter, so the people living in the City of Slaughter establish their own order and way of life.

Of course, because the War God Church has thrown in those desperate criminals, basically all of them are extraordinary professionals, and they have at least several lives on their hands, so the most basic rule there is only one, that is, the law of the jungle.

The Church of the God of War did not spend huge amounts of money to build the City of Slaughter just to imprison criminals.

In a sense, the City of Slaughter is a poison box created by the Church of the God of War.

In order to seek a breakthrough, the Slaughter Knights in the Church of the God of War will enter the City of Slaughter to fight and kill those desperate criminals in order to hone their abilities.

You know, the people in the Killing City are the most dangerous group of people active in the desert, and it is very challenging to survive there.

For the desperadoes living in the City of Slaughter, the appearance of the Slaughter Knight is their only hope.

The Church of the God of War promised that as long as they successfully killed a Slaughter Knight, they could leave the City of Slaughter.

This is why, even though they know that the Slaughter Knights are extremely powerful, those desperate criminals still persevere in attacking the Slaughter Knights who enter the Slaughter City.

However, this makes the training of the Slaughter Knight in the City of Slaughter even more dangerous.

If it is just a normal training, the Church of the God of War will equip the Killing Knights with magic props for emergency escape.

However, this magic item is disposable. The church will only provide one to the Killing Knights who enter the Killing City for the first time, and there will be no such treatment again after that.

The reason why Flynn hesitated was that for someone like Faith who entered the City of Slaughter for the first time and did not escape the protection of the props, the chance of survival was basically only one or two percent.

However, this is also the most severe punishment that the Church of the God of War can impose on the Killing Knights who violate the commandments, and there is indeed nothing wrong with this punishment.

Only those Killing Knights who truly understand the meaning of killing and fighting can survive the training in the City of Killing.

Flynn was not surprised because he knew that Abraham was that kind of person.

The [War Soul Sword Saint], who is in charge of all the killing knights of the Church of the God of War, will definitely set an example and will not tolerate anyone who violates the commandments.

Even if that person is his granddaughter.

"After this matter is over, I will go to Antun Abyss Fortress and garrison there for fifty years." After a moment's silence, Abraham said to Flynn.

"That's not necessary. Okay, I understand."

Flynn was a little helpless, but still did not persuade Abraham.

He knew that Abraham's doing this was a punishment for himself, because of his momentary soft-heartedness and indulgence, he allowed Faith, who was not qualified, to become a killing knight and violated the church's commandments.

The Abyss Fortress is not a good place. It is an extremely mysterious place located in the endless ocean.

There is the largest space passage in the main plane of Gaia World, which leads to the first layer of the Endless Abyss [Wanyuan Plain]. Under the auspices of the Church of the Gods, many extraordinary forces in Gaia World have built the most solid fortress there to prevent the invasion of abyss demons.

The Church of the Gods would arrange for legendary strongmen and extraordinary professionals to stay in the Abyss Fortress to guard against and monitor the movements of the Abyss Demons.

This is not an easy task, but rather quite dangerous.

Even though the Church of the Gods has deployed many powerful means in the Abyss Fortress, it may still face danger.

The area where the Abyss Fortress is located has been eroded by the abyss breath for countless years, and the Abyss Demons can exert their full strength there.

Not to mention that there might be a god-level Abyss Lord who suddenly goes crazy and suddenly attacks the Abyss Fortress.

Even a legendary warrior would be in danger of falling there.

That is why the Church of the Gods arranged for its legendary masters to take turns to be in charge there.

The strength of each legendary warrior in the Abyss Fortress is only ten years. Abraham's choice to stay there for fifty years is indeed a punishment for himself.

Flynn was somewhat helpless. He knew that Abraham was extremely paranoid and would definitely carry out a decision he made, and it was not something he could change.

"Do you want to see Faith again?"

Flynn thought about it and said to Abraham.

"no need."

Abraham thought for a moment, shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"When she wakes up, have someone take her directly to the Slaughter City."

"it is good."

Flynn didn't care. If Faith wasn't Abraham's descendant, he wouldn't pay so much attention to a killing knight and just let Lionel deal with it on his own.

"After all these years, Abraham, you really haven't changed."

Another voice came, and Abraham turned around and saw a bald strong man in a white robe sitting on the other side, looking at him with a smile.

"Ivan, long time no see."

[Broken Mountain] Ivan Dean sat there carelessly and waited until the two men finished talking before speaking.

"I haven't been back for decades. I didn't expect that you, Abraham, already have a granddaughter."

"Humph!"

Abraham's face darkened, and there was some unfriendly look in his eyes when he looked at Ivan.

This guy, why is he bringing up things that are not relevant?
Just like before, can such a bad temper become a legend?

Abraham didn't say anything more, he just stood up and left the room.

"This guy is still so unreasonable."

Ivan touched his bald head and said to Flynn with a smile.

Flynn also had a look of helplessness on his face and shook his head slightly.

These two people have always been like this. Whenever they are together, they always quarrel. Even now that it has become a legend, they still don't stop.

"The request made by Li Si who captured Fei Si was for your disciple?"

"I remember her name was Taiya?"

"Yes, Mr. Flynn."

Seeing that they were talking about serious matters, Ivan also said to Flynn in a serious tone:
"I never thought that you would come back with your disciples sixty years later, and you came for the baptism of the God of War again."

Flynn looked at Ivan with a hint of nostalgia.

As a legendary monk, golden-level monks often crossed the desert to the city of Amandu, hoping to get his guidance.

But in the past two or three hundred years, among those who received his guidance, only Ivan Dean successfully broke through to the legendary level, which is also quite rare.

At that time, Abraham was still a gold-level killing knight in the Church of the God of War, but he had already shown his talent and received attention and support from the church.

It was also at that time that Ivan and Abraham met.

At that time, Alvin came to the city of Armandu, one reason being that he wanted to get Flynn's guidance, and the other was that he wanted the opportunity to be baptized by the God of War.

After discovering Ivan's talent, Flynn agreed to his request.

Also out of gratitude to the Church of the God of War and Flynn, after achieving legendary status, although Ivan could not join the Church of the God of War due to the reasons of the Kingdom of Fez, he also held the title of honorary bishop in the church.

But I didn’t expect that after not seeing each other for so many years, Alvin came back just to ask for a chance for his disciple to be baptized as the God of War.

Are you addicted to taking advantage of the Church of the God of War?
However, if the talent of the girl named Taya is really as Alvin said, then the qualification of being baptized as a god of war is nothing.

Although the cost is a bit expensive, it cannot be compared with that of a legendary strong man.

This was originally agreed upon, but no one expected that the elven sage would also come to the city of Amandu to request the baptism of the God of War for Taiya.

One Ares baptism in exchange for two favors. This deal was simply impossible for Flynn, the Archbishop of the Church of Ares, to refuse.

"Has the Pope not come out yet?"

After chatting for a while, Ivan asked Flynn.

As the strongest person in the Church of the God of War, Pope Georg did not interfere much in the specific affairs of the church. He was immersed in spiritual practice and wanted to complete the path to becoming a god.

Therefore, most of the affairs in the church are handled by Flynn, the only archbishop.

When Alvin asked this, he also wanted to get information about the path to becoming a god.

For the vast majority of legends, the path to godhood is the only way forward for them.

It was impossible for Alvin to ask Stephens about such things. The person he knew who had gone the furthest on the road to godhood was Pope Georg of the Church of the God of War.

"I don't know."

Flynn shook his head. This information involved the Pope's own secrets. Unless the Pope took the initiative to ask, he would not ask.

Flynn was about to say something else when he suddenly turned his head and looked to the south.

In his perception, a vortex suddenly appeared in the center of the city of Amandu, invisibly drawing the power of faith towards there.

What's happening here?
what happened?
