Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 80 Gaining the Cardinal's Trust, a Church Split Imminent (34, Please Subscribe)

The dragon soared through the air and slowly descended with a magical wind.

Its proud head looked down at the crowd, while the cardinals and others stood up and bowed deeply to the dragon's scrutinizing gaze.

"Your Majesty, York has come as summoned."

York suppressed his emotions and was the first to kneel on one knee before the dragon, reporting with the utmost seriousness, like a messenger of the gods.

“Church of Truth, Cardinal Tyr, pays homage to Your Majesty.”

"The Church of Truth, resident Oleg, pays homage to Your Majesty."

"Church of Truth, Resident Church"

One by one, these missionaries introduced themselves and addressed the dragon and the divine gaze before them with awe and reverence.

Looking down at York and these missionaries.

Lin Ke already had a plan in mind.

So he fixed his gaze on old Tyr and said:

"So many years have passed in this mortal world, and I never imagined that among the believers of truth there would still be such a devout believer as you, rising above the mud and remaining untainted."

"It is precious and truly interesting."

"So, now, regarding the current chaos in the world, can you, a believer, tell me your view on this matter?"

Lin Ke's tone had a questioning quality to it.

It also seemed as if it didn't care at all about the current chaos in the Eagle Kingdom.

However, faced with Linco's loud yet calm voice, Cardinal Old Tyr had already calmed down and his expression had returned to a rational state.

He looked up at the rock-steel dragon.

Instead of answering immediately, he asked in a complicated manner:

“Your Majesty, I dare not inquire about your relationship with my lord, but please forgive my rudeness before answering your question.”

"May I ask Your Majesty for your esteemed divine title? This would allow Tyr to give an account both internally and externally."

Lin Ke looked at the cardinal, somewhat taken aback by his words, but after a moment's thought, he suddenly smiled and said:
"You mortal, you are quite bold."

"However, at this juncture, it is indeed time for you to have a clear understanding."

At this point, the Rock Steel Dragon looked at York and then slowly said:

“York is the divinely ordained one who came to this world for me, and he should also be of the same status as the Son of God in this world.”

“Even when he asked me before, I didn’t answer.”

"In fact, even the gods, even I, did not dare to be certain that I could successfully descend into this world at the beginning, so I did not give an answer. I was afraid that in the end it would be nothing more than a flash in the pan."

"However, the proxy body that currently carries my consciousness has given me a pleasant surprise, so it's alright now."

At this point, Lin Ke paused deliberately, while looking up at the high night sky, as if he were sighing and pondering something.

This naturally gave missionaries like York and Old Tyler ample room for imagination.

"Indeed, Your Majesty did not mention your honorable name before; it was truly not the right time."

York was overjoyed, and deeply thrilled to have received the message from God himself about the Son of God.

But what exactly is the epiphyllum? York was somewhat clueless.

While York was focused on one thing, the missionaries, including Old Tyr, were paying attention to something else entirely.

Even the gods wouldn't be certain that they could successfully descend to earth.

Is it extremely difficult for a deity to descend to earth now?

And this deity refers to the continent of Auckland as such. Does this mean that, besides the continent of Auckland, the gods also possess or even favor other worlds?

Suddenly, old Tyr thought of his mentor and loving father.

The previous generation of cardinals possessed the strength of a ninth-rank bishop.

Back then, when Old Tyr was still young, he heard him say that the gods seemed to have been exploring the mysteries of the stars for thousands of years and seemed to have found a world different from the continent of Auckland.

In order to explore more truth and knowledge, the God of Truth also participated.

Recalling the words of the previous cardinal, Old Tyr's eyes suddenly snapped to attention.

He longed to inquire about the affairs of the gods, but he knew that this would be an overstepping of his bounds; how could a mortal like himself possibly know about the realm of the gods?

So he could only suppress his complex emotions and wait quietly.

At this moment, Lin Ke spoke up again:
"You may call me: the God of Space and Exploration."

"There is no need for further speculation. I am not a god of this world, nor have I ever spread any faith in this world before, so it is normal that you do not know me."

"My focus is on space and exploration, in order to seek and understand more about the mysteries of the stars and the world. In this area, I naturally share many common topics with the god of truth and knowledge."

As Lin Ke spoke, his tone was relaxed, devoid of any haughty authority, as if a benevolent sage were telling his story to the scholars present.

That's it.

However, the more this was the case, the more in old Tyr's mind the image of Linco became in stark contrast to the recorded God of Truth.

The god of space and exploration, seeking more truth and knowledge.

The reason why the god of truth and knowledge explores the stars is self-evident.

Moreover, this is recorded in church records, and even in the words and deeds of the old Tyre, the benevolent father.

The God of Truth and Knowledge, whenever He descends to earth, presents His believers with the image of a benevolent and wise man. He is not arrogant or condescending, but rather treats His believers with the same attitude as a teacher towards his students.

The purpose is to spread the truth and knowledge of the whole world, and to lead mortals from ignorance to civilization and enlightenment.

"No wonder!"

"No wonder this crown prince possesses a page of the Book of Truth personally gifted by our Lord; such a relationship is truly remarkable."

Moreover, the appearance of this deity indirectly proves that the gods have successfully entered another world.

Is that why they disappeared from the Auckland mainland for so long?

In that instant, Old Tyr understood everything! And everything made sense.

As a result, about 70-80% of the original doubts disappeared.

Moreover, after discovering that the deity before him was not the unapproachable kind, old Tyr finally dared to ask some questions he hadn't dared to ask before. So, unable to suppress his doubts, he slowly said:

"So, Your Excellency, you are actually a noble god from another world."

"Thus, Tyr understands everything."

"Great God of Space and Exploration, please forgive Tyr's rudeness, for it is truly because my lord has not descended to earth for too long."

"Is my lord well?"

Faced with this question, the missionaries all became somewhat nervous.

Gods from another world, this is truly unbelievable.

But the reality is undeniable: this god of space exploration does indeed possess the divine pages of the Lord.

The sacred pages are a manifestation of the Lord's power, and it is impossible for any God to steal them.

When a god falls, the divine artifacts that manifest his power will inevitably dissipate.

Even if a new god appears and seizes the position of the fallen god.

Therefore, the manifestation of power will inevitably be different, just as there is no second leaf in the world that is the same.

At least in this world, there has never been a case in the secret scriptures of the Church where a deity could kill another deity or seize the other's power.

The secret scriptures were unknown to most missionaries, but former Bishop Oleg and Cardinal Tyre the Elder did.

Therefore, they did not think of the matter of Lin Ke holding a page of the Book of Truth as something malicious.

Therefore, trust is naturally higher.

Even if this god really does have a way to seize power.

If he truly intends to deceive or even harbors malice towards this world, then he could easily impersonate the god of truth and knowledge, making it difficult for mortals to detect.

But He did not do so, so that the probability of such a worst-case scenario seemed almost impossible to Old Tyr.

The gods right now speak very frankly and even peacefully.

Therefore, based on his first impression, old Tyr had complete trust in Linco, this otherworldly god.

After all, His personality is so compatible with that of the God of Truth.

It's almost only natural that they would become friends.

Under the complex and tense gazes of the missionaries, the dragon remained silent for a moment.

But in the end, he said:

“You mortals of this world are truly audacious.”

"However, I do admire your devout attitude toward the truth."

"Well then, I might as well tell you the truth."

"Well, in a way, the God of Truth should be alright now, but the situation is indeed a bit troublesome."

"That's all I have to say. Do not delve into the realm of the gods, which you should not know. Knowing too much may not be a good thing for you mortals."

Linco skillfully prevented Cardinal Old Tyr from pursuing the matter further.

Moreover, Link believed that he had not deceived the believers of the truth at present in this matter.

Although the god is dead, he is not completely dead. He is even on the verge of resurrection. Isn't that a kind of peace in another sense?
Upon hearing Linco's reply, Cardinal Old Tyre's previously anxious heart suddenly settled down.

The God of Truth may be in trouble, but other gods may be in the same situation.

Otherwise, over a thousand years, they should have already made some moves in the mortal world.

But no, even more than three hundred years ago, the matter of the Storm God and the Beast God was still questionable in Old Tyr's eyes.

However, it doesn't matter now.

Because at least the gods are all well, and at least they know about this, old Tyr is content.

In fact, in old Tyr's view, this god is not without trouble right now.
Otherwise, how could the current proxy be of order five?
Moreover, considering the presence of this deity and a page from the God of Truth, Old Tyr knew all too well that this must be related to the Lord.

So he immediately bowed deeply to Lin Ke.

"Thank you for your clarification, Your Majesty."

“Tyr is very grateful. So, regarding Your Majesty’s inquiry into earthly matters, here, as a follower of truth.”

"I am no longer confused. Although I am old and frail, I am still capable of being useful."

"In this special time, so that our eyes will not be defiled after the Lord's coming, as a devout believer of the Lord, I will also cleanse the entire church of impurity and false faith for the Lord at that time."

"In this matter, I think King Ackerman 34 would be very pleased if I took the initiative to contact the royal family."

"May Your Majesty and our Lord bear witness to all this."

"Of course, if possible, Your Majesty would appreciate it if your mortal body could offer some occasional assistance."

Even as he spoke, old Tyr's aged face remained incredibly solemn.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do everything possible to keep your affairs confidential."

"Everything is for my Lord."

The moment Old Tyr finished speaking, Linko could see with his naked eye that the old man's withered body, which was on the verge of death, began to revive as if it were flesh and blood.

His withered arms, legs, and even face quickly became fuller, and his originally dull silver hair suddenly regained its vitality.

Thus, to the astonishment of York and the other missionaries, old Tyr fully recovered his youthful appearance.

Lin Ke was slightly taken aback.

Because he discovered that the numerical rank displayed above the old Tyr's head had now changed to the eighth rank!
A secret technique?!

Lin Ke's tone softened, and he chuckled as he spoke to Old Tyr, whose eyes had hardened:

"Then let me see for myself whether your faith is truly sincere!"

“I might as well have the mortal beings cooperate with you, just to relax. Now let me have a good look at the performance of you mortals.”

"If it satisfies me, perhaps I wouldn't mind showing you the scenery of another world."
