From Wild Mage to Wizard King.

Chapter 430 Pregnancy Ceremony
Under Roland's guidance, the main spring of the Fountain of Life in front of him was smoothly integrated with the badge.

As a product made of the Iron Crown and integrated with a large amount of power of faith, the badge not only inherits and strengthens some of the characteristics of the Iron Crown, including its power to contain faith.

Authorized by the current Chairman of the War Committee, with the Four Saints and One Faith as the starting point, the badge contains the collective will of all members of the War Committee.

This huge and benevolent collective will replaced Roland's position in the Fountain of Life, guiding and controlling the normal operation of the Fountain of Life.

Roland was finally able to take back the power he had deposited in the Fountain of Life to suppress the enemy. As the power was taken back, Roland's aura became even stronger.

Opening his eyes, Roland looked at the sacred, gentle, and vigorous Fountain of Life before him. It was different from the effect Roland had disguised with a magic circle. This time, it was the real breath emitted by the Fountain of Life after being integrated with the badge.

After integrating the badge, the Fountain of Life not only greatly improved its power, but also completely got rid of its dependence on Roland.

Before the fusion, the Fountain of Life was still quite dependent on Roland, and needed Roland's power to act as a filter to maintain stability. Once Roland was lost, the Fountain of Life would inevitably collapse. But now, even if Roland died, the Fountain of Life with the fusion of the badge could still operate as usual.

Roland stretched out his right hand, and a key that controlled the fountain of life slowly floated up from the blood pool and fell into Roland's hand.

Looking at the key in his hand, Roland thought for a moment and decided to split it. Roland's right hand, filled with magic, slapped the key.

Then, the key flickered slightly and divided into thirteen keys, one master key with full authority and twelve sub-keys, each holding partial authority.

Roland was going to hand over the master key to Hela, and the twelve sub-keys would be given to the other twelve executive members of the Executive Committee except Roland.

This way, even if Roland is gone, they will still be able to control the Fountain of Life.

Of course, while Roland was still alive, the highest power was still in his hands.

As the creator of the Fountain of Life and the Badge, Roland can easily control the Fountain of Life even without the key.

Once Rolanda arrives, there are only three ways to gain supreme power over the Fountain of Life.

First, obtain the main key; second, use the twelve sub-keys simultaneously; third, obtain the approval of more than 90% of the people on the committee and gain the approval of the collective will in the badge.

Roland shook his head, put the thirteen keys into the space bracelet, and without any nostalgia, he turned around and walked out of the Fountain of Life.

After leaving the military camp, Roland breathed a sigh of relief as he had resolved a potential problem in the War Council.

Thinking of this, Roland, who was standing outside the military camp, prepared a space spell while taking out a communication device.

He teleported back to the Apocalypse City Hall. Afterwards, Roland flipped through the various messages sent to him by the central government while logging onto the external network to see what was happening there.

When Roland logged into the Internet, what caught his eye was an exaggeratedly popular post, which almost reached the maximum popularity displayed on the Internet.

[Church Division]: A bloody tragedy, all members of the local Dawn Church died tragically, who is the murderer?
what?
Looking at the post above, Roland frowned slightly.

The Church of Dawn? All members died tragically?
How are these two words connected together? The priests of the Church of Dawn are basically knights from the Order of the Radiant Knights. They are already quite powerful, and after the Green Tide War, their strength has increased by leaps and bounds. How can they be killed so easily?

Moreover, they all left life marks in the Fountain of Life. Even if they died, they could be resurrected. Wouldn't it be easy to find out who the murderer was by asking?
Roland did not click on the post, but chose to read the message sent by Apocalypse Central, from which he quickly found relevant information.

The oldest message was from more than a month ago, and the most recent was sent the day before yesterday. Roland clicked on them and quickly browsed through them.

While Roland was forging equipment at the silver forge, the War Council also welcomed the new year.

At the end of the New Year celebrations in 1460, a very bad news came from the local town hall. A bloody tragedy occurred in the second largest church of the Church of Dawn in the Province of Apocalypse.

All the priests in the church were beheaded. The murderer chopped the priests' bodies into pieces and smeared the blood on all sides of the church. All symbolic objects were paid special attention to.

In addition, the church was filled with a foul smell. The murderer used the heads of the priests to form a filthy necromancy circle, turning the entire sacred church into a bloody place filled with endless malice.

Although the murderer did not know the existence of the Fountain of Life, the priests who left the mark of life did not die completely. It was just because of the influence of the necromancy circle that their life marks were affected and became very weak.

Even though Hela acted decisively after discovering the situation and eliminated the influence of the necromancy circle, the weak life marks could not revive the priests. They could only be nurtured with the fountain of life to keep them alive.

This is just the first piece of relevant news, and there will be some new investigation reports later.

After receiving the news, Hela decisively blocked the information. With the administrative and operational capabilities of the committee, it was impossible for the news to leak out. However, less than three days after the incident, the news about the bloodbath in the church was leaked to the Internet.

In response to this, the committee naturally immediately launched a strong attack on offline real-name authentication.

However, although the first person who spread the news was caught, he was just an ordinary citizen. Through interrogation and memory search, it was confirmed that he was just used as a pawn by the murderer. He received the memories given by the murderer in the form of dreams and was induced to post them on the Internet.

Although the murderer was not caught directly, the committee did not give up and continued to investigate along this clue.

Through the lingering aura on the masses, the spellcasters of the committee determined that the murderer had not left Apocalypse Province. The Executive Committee then passed regulations to strengthen the control of Apocalypse Province, blocked the entire Apocalypse Province, and dispatched a large number of teams to track down the murderer.

At the same time, the machinists also took over the external network and used the installed computing units to conduct a large information search for all relevant news about the bloody massacre of the Dawn Church.

By taking a two-pronged approach, the committee also successfully discovered some suspicious clues.

In addition to the murderer who committed the bloody massacre, there seems to be a force within the committee that helps the murderer.

After realizing this, the Executive Committee quietly slowed down the pace of tracking down the murderer and instead went into hiding, quietly digging deep into the power hidden within the committee.

After the committee went into hiding, it seemed that because the committee did not conduct large-scale searches, they relaxed a little and thus exposed their tracks.

Following the clues they revealed, the committee followed the clues and dug out all the forces hidden within the committee.

This was a force that no one in the committee had anticipated.

Pantheon Church.

The weakest church in this war committee turned out to be the mole who assisted the murderer within the committee.

And through in-depth investigation, the committee gradually found out the truth: the Pantheon Church had hooked up with Sinnar's Pantheon Faith, and the two sides seemed to have reached some agreement.

The specific agreement is unclear, but a few of them are certain.

The Sinar Pantheon will condone some of the heresies of the Pantheon Church and help the Pantheon Church become the state religion of the War Council. It will also provide personnel and material support. In return, the Pantheon Church needs to privately pledge allegiance to the Sinar Pantheon and erode, influence, and even sway the War Council from the perspective of religious beliefs.

Humor. This was Roland's first feeling when he saw these agreements.

The Pantheon Church? The church with the fewest registered monks and churches? The weakest church with no influence in Donnar, is it worthy of having such a dream?

Roland raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the last message.

The committee continued to investigate based on the news from the Pantheon Church and not only successfully drew up a liquidation list, but also found the murderer who committed the tragedy.

A priest from the Pantheon of Sinnar who came from Sinnar and sneaked in as a veteran immigrant.

At present, the Executive Committee has ordered the military to mobilize troops and is ready for encirclement and suppression.

Roland pushed open the door of the study while browsing.

Afterwards, a new piece of news reached Roland. The encirclement and suppression operation was successfully completed. The army successfully captured the murderer and brought all the Pantheon Church members on the draft list to justice.

At the same time, Hela, who had just compiled the new information and sent it to Roland in the study, raised her head. When she saw Roland, her lifeless eyes instantly brightened up.

"Roland, you're back."

Hela flashed and appeared beside Roland. She stretched out her hands and hugged Roland's right hand. She leaned against Roland and spoke happily.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Ah."

Roland nodded slightly, then looked at Hela thoughtfully and said.

"Promoted to the fourth ring?"

"Yes, I have completed my first physical sublimation."

Hela blinked and answered Roland's question. While Roland was smelting the equipment, Hela, who had been a three-ring knight for several years, finally broke through to the fourth ring.

Roland gently poked Hela's cheek and said as he looked at Hela, whose appearance remained unchanged.

"Why didn't you adjust your appearance?"

Physical sublimation is also a process of reshaping the body. During this process, the extraordinary person can modify his or her body shape and appearance. Generally speaking, when the body is sublimated, the extraordinary person will adjust it according to his or her own preferences. Of course, not all extraordinary people will make modifications.

For example, Roland, and Hela in front of him.

Hela tilted her head slightly and chuckled.

"I think I'm fine right now, there's nothing to adjust. But what kind of person would Roland like me to be? I can think of a way to adjust myself to be the person Roland likes."

“It’s good just the way it is now.”

Roland walked to his seat and answered.

"I knew it, huh~"

Seeing that Roland was going to handle government affairs, Hela chuckled and loosened her arms around Roland. She naturally became an assistant and assisted Roland in understanding the government affairs during this period.

As a spellcaster, Hela is not love-minded. Just like Roland, she also clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs.

However, Hela did not have much sense of belonging to the War Council. The only reason why she cared about the War Council was because Roland cared about it. Otherwise, Hela did not care what the War Council was like.

Therefore, her distinction between public and private life depends entirely on Roland's situation. If Roland needs to handle official business, she will not disturb him, but will just honestly serve as Roland's most reliable assistant. If Roland is free, she will exercise her power as a girlfriend, stick to Roland and enjoy intimacy.

Hela placed the information about the Pantheon Church in front of Roland again, pointed at the list of criminals, and asked.

"What is Roland going to do with these people?"

"According to the law, those who deserve to be killed should be killed, and those who deserve to be punished should be punished."

Roland glanced at the list he had already read through, and spoke calmly while receiving information from the communication device.

"Understood. Oh, by the way, the management department has submitted an application, hoping to abolish the Pantheon Church and prohibit all Pantheon beliefs."

"Rejected. Most of the Sinar people on the committee still believe in the Pantheon. The Pantheon Church is still useful."

Roland paused and continued.

"However, we cannot leave the Pantheon Church alone. Let the management department draw up a plan to strengthen the control of the Pantheon Church. The template can refer to the Four Saints and One Church."

"Ok."

Hela controlled the communication device and issued Roland's order. Then, Hela turned around and took out a thick document from the bookshelf behind her.

She placed the text in front of Roland and said.

"The top one is the previously drafted pregnancy support bill, and the bottom one is the latest news about the Botanical Garden's longevity project."

Roland nodded slightly and opened the Pregnancy Support Act.

This is a bill that was extended from the by-product of the longevity project.

As we all know, the promotion of extraordinary people is a process of continuous improvement and evolution. Once they have experienced sublimation, whether it is physical sublimation or spiritual sublimation, they begin to separate from their original race and gradually become reproductively isolated from the original race.

Once promoted to legend, the extraordinary person himself will even become a legendary race with only him as the only one.

Faced with this problem of reproductive isolation, most extraordinary people combine with extraordinary people of the same level, and the two use secret techniques to force pregnancy and fusion to give birth to offspring.

However, a hundred years later, as the number of extraordinary people increased, the cost and difficulty of forced pregnancy became increasingly high, so a simpler method was born in later generations: the pregnancy ceremony.

Roland didn't know much about this, but when the Botanical Institute was researching the Longevity Project, they used Roland's fragmentary information to perfect and reproduce the gestation ceremony.
