A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

"The Wolf God boasted at the time, claiming he would definitely seize the Holy Fire. But in the end, despite destroying the last settlement of the Zoroastrians, killing the lords who protected them, and taking out a large number of high-ranking Zoroastrian monks, he failed to obtain the Holy Fire."

"This incident has always been a source of regret for him."

"So if we can bring up the past and compare the two things, the Wolf God will definitely be happy to take action."

"And if it's the Wolf God who takes action, then we'll definitely capture him. No matter what the Knights do, they can't stop the Wolf God! It won't even take much time, as long as we can determine Thomas's whereabouts."

Although Muzaffar didn't say it, he actually disagreed in his heart.

Although the Huguo Army is very powerful, it can only defeat a thousand enemies with one man.

There are more than a thousand knights!

Fortunately, the Knights had just captured Smyrna, and their limited forces had to be divided on both sides.

In the short term, the power of the Knights in Rhodes Island was weakened rather than strengthened - of course, the same would be true in the long run.

But even so, assassinating Thomas still requires thorough preparation and perfect arrangements.

Muzaffar walked out of the hall...

Wolf God?

However, he had vaguely known before that the Wolf God was now the trump card of the Star-Moon Sword, and that he should act elsewhere - the Star-Moon Sword also had many enemies, not only pagans, but also heretics.

It’s not that easy to transfer such a valuable fighting force as the Wolf God to the Mediterranean.

It will always take a few months.

Although the Great Elder showed such confidence, Muzaffar felt that it would be better to give the enemy a lenient outlook.

But no matter what, it is necessary to first stir up people's greed and put pressure on the Pope through public opinion.

And it's easy.

Now that he had figured it out, his steps became more determined and powerful.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but think of the cult's headquarters.

Few knew where the Sword of the Moon and Stars was headquartered, but Muzaffar knew.

He studied there - various doctrines of the Star and Crescent Sect, Hadith and military skills.

Yes, the headquarters of the Star-Moon Cult, or its old nest, is a mountain castle located on the Anatolian Peninsula, close to the Mesopotamian Plain.

It's the kind of place where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.

If there was no one leading the way, no one would have thought that the cult would set up its lair in such a place.

There was a lord in that area in name, but in reality the lord was just a puppet.

The entire territory, especially the castle, is completely controlled by the Sword of Star and Moon.

The biggest function of the old nest is not a political center, but a school.

The Sword of Stars and Moon is different from most sects of this era and places great emphasis on the cultivation of talents.

Moreover, Muzaffar knew that the power of the sect was gradually expanding because the number of newcomers, or students, in the castle was increasing.

Except for a very few gifted ones, these students are all children of high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen from different countries.

As they complete their studies, the influence of the Star-Moon Sword will further expand.

Suddenly, he inexplicably thought of his predecessor, Ferdinand.

But I don’t know how he is doing now after he went to the headquarters.

Will he get the chance to be promoted to Protector of the Nation?

Seriously, getting recommended is one thing, getting reviewed is another.

The elders' council of the sect will carefully examine and study from many aspects before allowing the elite to be promoted to protect the country.

Loyalty, ability, doctrinal understanding, etc. are all subject to review.

But the most important aspect is the extraordinary ability.

If your extraordinary abilities are relatively weak and you are considered to have no potential, it will be impossible for you to pass the review.

But I don’t know which Ferdinand can pass... He is not without competitors!

Of course, if Muzaffar can handle this side, or even take over Rhodes Island, he will also be qualified to be promoted to Protector of the Nation.

Chapter 139 Ferdinand 1

The headquarters of the Star-Moon Sword Cult.

When Ferdinand walked into the hall, he immediately felt the tense atmosphere inside.

The corners of his mouth twitched.

These little brats... are making trouble again!

He has been here for some time.

Although the headquarters is geographically remote, there are quite a lot of people in the castle.

And this castle...

Even by Ferdinand's standards, it was magnificent.

Members of the sect from various places gathered here, with a total number of more than a thousand people.

Most of them were young men—teenagers between fifteen and eighteen years old.

Yes, this place is a school. This is just the current standard, and I'm afraid there will be even more students in the future.

There is no such thing as idleness here. While waiting for the review, he also has to take on some responsibilities - he is considered an auxiliary manager.

If Thomas were to name his current identity and job, it could be simply described as: counselor.

Although the name is different, he is actually working as a counselor now.

But these students are not easy to serve.

Because Ferdinand discovered a terrible thing on the first day he arrived.

These young students...are all elite!

It was obvious that the Star-Moon Sword had mastered some secret technique for safe promotion. This was also an important means for them to attract people!

But this approach is not so easy.

It’s easy to imagine what would happen if a group of teenagers with extraordinary abilities came from different countries, especially those countries that were not at peace with each other...

And today, another conflict broke out here in the hall.

"It's Fatis and Duarte...are they fighting again?"

"Yes, you know that the Sultanate of Rum and the Buyid Dynasty have declared war on each other."

Ferdinand curled his lips. The two people from different countries had another conflict.

He had anticipated what would happen today.

In fact, just as Christianity has split into a large number of Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant and heretical denominations, the Crescent Moon Church is not a monolithic entity.

There are many different factions within the organization.

Even if the various factions cannot be said to be living in harmony, they are at least fighting each other.

But on the other hand, can people within the same sect live in harmony?

Of course that's impossible! Even countries with the same culture and ethnicity can have territorial disputes!

How can people from different countries and regions be good neighbors?

Just like Poland and the Teutonic Knights, who both worship Roman Catholicism, can fight each other to the death.

This is true for the country and of course for individuals as well.

The church always neither supports nor opposes this kind of "contradictions among the people" and pretends not to see it.

In Ferdinand's view, this approach was extremely stupid. It was simply asking for trouble and sowing the seeds for the division of the order.

Sometimes he felt curious.

Because it is said that the Star-Moon Sword Sect is a sect with a long history. It is hard to say whether it has been around for thousands of years, but it is definitely hundreds of years!

How could such a cult not break up and disintegrate? It's a miracle!

Those two people were young men between the ages of fifteen and eighteen or nineteen, the next generation of elites of the cult.

At this moment, the two men had picked up their swords and were confronting each other in the middle of the room.

Others made way for a large circle.

Not long after Ferdinand came in, the two sides finally started fighting.

Of course, Ferdinand would not step forward to stop it. Like all the other spectators, he found a seemingly safe corner and stayed there to watch the contest.

The black-haired boy named Fatis could be identified as a Turk at a glance. He held a particularly sharp scimitar in his hand, and with a flash of the blade, a chair blocking his way was split into two halves.

The young man named Duarte looked Indian, with blond hair and fair skin. In the first round, he lightly jumped over a chair and kicked it towards his opponent with a sharp kick of his boots. His weapon was quite unique: a pair of hook claws.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the opponent cut off the chair, he jumped high, stepped on the table and made a double jump. His hook claw drew a blue arc in the air and approached Fatis from the air. In the blink of an eye, his right hand was about to hook the back of the black-haired boy's neck!

The black-haired boy's body suddenly shone with oil, and the dangerous hook claws failed to hook his skin and flesh, sliding directly past his neck. At the same time, he took advantage of this opportunity to kick out a roundhouse kick with his right leg.

The tip of his toes drew a circular arc and kicked towards the white-skinned boy.

The force of this kick was definitely intended to kill or injure the opponent.

Ferdinand felt a slight tingling on his skin, so he quickly stepped back and hid behind a pillar.

There was a loud thunderous bang, accompanied by billowing black smoke, and all the nearby tables and chairs were overturned and cracked!

Both sides used their extraordinary abilities.

One of his special abilities is "Oil," which creates a layer of oil on his body. This provides a significant inclination bonus, and when attacking, the oil explodes to injure the enemy. This is a perfect combination of offense and defense. However, the downside is that this special ability is more suited to fists and kicks, not swords.

So even though he was holding a scimitar, he did not hesitate to use kicking attacks.

The other is supernormal agility.

Duarte had just escaped from the black smoke after a wave of explosions, landing in another open space. The blast hadn't caused him any visible damage. His limbs touched the ground with a lightness of touch, but his pupils had already turned vertical.

Those were the eyes of a ferocious beast, making people shudder when they looked at them.

The other teenagers around were shouting.

Young people are like this, they just enjoy watching the fun and don’t mind getting involved.

Ferdinand couldn't help but sigh that this Star-Moon Sword was truly powerful.

These teenagers, who were obviously seventeen or eighteen years old, were already elite warriors, and each of them had awakened extraordinary powers.

There are hundreds of them!

Even though the Crescent-Star Sword Order lost dozens of elite members in the battle with the Byzantines, it now seems that it was not a big loss for the order.

Over there, Fatis roared and rushed forward, slashing and kicking with his knife, and the sound of explosions and roars was endless. In an instant, the dining hall was destroyed and looked like a garbage dump, bustling with activity.

But in Ferdinand's opinion, he was still a little naive after all.

But he didn't mean to look down on the other party.

Even though his current performance is not very good, in ten years, this young man named Fatis will definitely become a master among masters!

His super powers are excellent.

Duarte's ability should be animalization. Even without mentioning the vertical pupils, his movements are very similar to those of a big cat.

While twisting and turning, he actually avoided all the opponent's attacks, at least no serious damage was caused.

He refused to fight head-on, choosing instead to move quickly, making surprise attacks and constantly searching for the enemy's flaws and weaknesses.

In this way, the explosion effect will naturally be maximized.

Of course, on the other hand, Fatis's "oil" is also very powerful. With the oil film on his body, he can slide away most melee attacks. Although the hook claw is powerful, it can hardly really touch his skin!

Chapter 140 Ferdinand 2

One is a terrorist who deliberately detonated the glycerin on his body, and the other is a guerrilla warfare master who is extremely fast and agile, and can move around and climb walls as if it were flat ground.
