A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

Finally, what landed in front of Thomas was a piece of animal skin that was half scale and half fur.

The rest disappeared in the transformation, as if melting or evaporating.

Thomas picked up the skin from the ground and found that although it looked rough and scaly, it felt very soft and tender.

On the other side, Ferdinand's body lay motionless.

There was no strange vision, just an ordinary corpse.

Thomas had learned from Plasda how to "absorb".

We can begin as long as we wait until the divine nature has no owner and naturally emerges.

But...it seems like nothing happened.

Chapter 364 Harvest

Thomas waited patiently for a long time.

When Ferdinand's body was completely cold, nothing happened.

The godhead is left without a master, and it will "naturally fall off" from the dead god. This means that you can see, hear, or at least feel some unusual conditions.

But nothing happened at the moment.

This is just an ordinary corpse.

Thomas then tried to forcefully start the "absorption" ritual, but it was still ineffective.

In other words, Ferdinand's sun godhood has dissipated.

Prasda once said that this is indeed possible.

There are various explanations for this. According to Prasda, it's probably because the godhead and the soul are so closely bound together that once the body dies and the soul disappears, it naturally causes great damage to the godhead.

If this destruction reaches a certain level, it will destroy the godhead.

So, killing a god... there's a chance you'll gain nothing. The weaker the god, the more likely this is.

Did Thomas now face the bad odds?

No, it is very likely.

Because Thomas' luck is very bad now - although he won't die on the street, it's also at the level of "picking up gold and turning it into copper".

Moreover, the Wolf God at least has an immortal wolf head, from which he can extract some "elements".

And Ferdinand didn't even have this.

But after all, we are civilized people and we cannot do things like crushing bones and scattering ashes.

Thomas closed his eyes and examined the damaged godhead.

The numerous cracks on the damaged godhead seemed to have disappeared a little.

Thomas is now very familiar with his broken divine nature. Although the cracks on the broken divine nature are irregular, after looking at it for a long time, he has more or less memorized the location and size of these cracks.

It was the same effect as when he killed Peren's incarnation - maybe it wasn't even an incarnation, just a consciousness.

But Peren's effect is very obvious.

And Thor's effect is obviously far worse.

However, the three items on the broken godhead, the sacrificial knife, the fire, and the mirror, had undergone slight changes.

Specifically, there is one more item.

A golden scale?

What is this thing? I can only study it carefully after returning.

But even if this scale is useless, this operation is not a failure - although there is no huge profit, at least there is no loss.

At least one huge hidden danger has been eliminated.

Now you can call people over.

Not long after, Louis and another old man came here.

This old man was an old servant who had served the Knights Templar for decades. Although he was not a formal member of the Knights Templar, he was considered one of them, and was especially familiar with Ferdinand.

To be honest, it's not difficult to find such people in Rhode Island.

"That's definitely the traitor!" the old servant quickly concluded. "I never thought this traitor would dare to come back!"

He also looked at the body of the young attendant. "It's him, it's definitely him... What a shame, this kid had such a bright future, but he ended up following that traitor Ferdinand!"

He sighed and closed the young follower's eyes with his hands.

"The rest is up to you. Bury this young man properly and erect a tombstone. As for Ferdinand, take all the valuables from him... and then bury him in a random grave."

As he said this, Thomas noticed that Ferdinand had a magical aura about him.

The magic aura was not visible before, probably because it was wrapped in a special package, but because the halberd cut through many of his clothes, the magic aura was accidentally exposed.

He stepped forward and picked up a small bag from Ferdinand's body. The magical aura was leaking from the bag.

When I opened the bag, there was a feather inside.

Colorful feathers.

It was obviously taken from some kind of creature, but it feels heavy in my hand, as if it is made of metal?

Thomas began to understand that this was a magical item.

And it is a relatively rare "native" type among magic items.

Normal magic items are made from "parts" of the remnants of the past, but there are a few that can be used without processing.

But I don’t know how to use this thing.

But it doesn’t matter. If there is no other solution, just leave it to Radagast to figure it out.

He put the feather and the bag away.

"By the way, Louis, look at my current situation. How am I now?" Thomas asked again.

Now, the source of the curse has been completely erased, and I don’t know if the lost blessings can be restored.

Louis' eyes turned purple, he stared at Thomas for several seconds, then shook his head.

"Grandmaster, there are no noticeable changes."

Alas, the bad luck continues...

Thomas sighed and turned away.

He doesn't need to worry about what happens next.

We will return to the base in Rhodes Island later, and then quickly order the navy to attack Ferdinand's anchored ship.

This ship must belong to the Star-Moon Sword. The people on it, even if they killed the wrong ones, they would not let them go!

There is no need to worry about how strong the enemies above are. When more than a dozen warships are besieging a ship with artillery, it will be useless even if all the people on the ship are elite soldiers.

Of course, if these members of the Star-Moon Sword were smart and alert and escaped in advance... then he would search and chase them for a distance, but he would not bother to pursue them relentlessly.

At that time, killing an elite warrior of the Star-Moon Cult was worth it for him, the Grand Commander, to take a risk or disguise himself.

but now……

Thomas no longer cared about such small fish and shrimp. Catching them would be the best, but not catching them was also irrelevant.

After walking a few steps, Thomas turned back and looked at Ferdinand's body again.

The traitor of this knightly order, or perhaps the ancient god lurking underground...

He died just like that...

A little unreal.

Thomas did not use magic to speed up his journey, so he did not return to the Knights' headquarters until dusk.

I had just returned to the newly built headquarters and before I could say anything, I saw the secretary Demetrios.

He was waiting at the door, looking anxious.

During this period, in order to deal with Thor and Ferdinand, Thomas temporarily put aside everything else.

In addition, he forcibly brought all the Knights from Smyrna to Rhodes.

The reconstruction of Smyrna was temporarily put aside.

"Dimitrios, what happened?" Thomas immediately noticed the clerk's expression.

Chapter 365: Temptation 1

"Grandmaster, you're finally back!" Demetrios said. "Everyone's been waiting for you to attend the meeting!"

"Wait for me? Meeting...oh, meeting! But what's the matter with you being so anxious?"

"Several messengers have arrived," Demetrios said simply. Some matters could only be decided by Thomas, no one else could. "Grandmaster, what on earth were you doing there?"

During this time, Thomas temporarily put aside everything else and devoted himself to lying in ambush, waiting for his prey.

Moreover, he did not explain to others why.

The Knights were certainly dissatisfied with this matter, but Thomas's prestige was too high and no one dared to object.

"It was a small task... but it's done," Thomas said casually. "Demetrios, pass on my orders immediately. Order the fleet to march."

"Wait, Grand Commander," Demetrios' face changed drastically. "Our fleet isn't ready to sail..."

In any era, the navy cannot be deployed at will.

Both personnel and materials require time to prepare.

In the age of coal and oil, even if all the supplies and personnel were ready, it would still take half a day just to start the ship's boiler!

Demetrios was afraid that Thomas would lose his mind, so he ordered the fleet to attack and fight the powerful enemy.

"It's okay," Thomas said. "There's a Star-Moon Sword ship south of Rhodes Island! It's just one ship, and it's very close. It doesn't require much preparation. We should mobilize and set out immediately. Capture it if we can. If we can't find it, we can search the surrounding area and come back."

After hearing this, Demetrios finally calmed down.

It was not a usual sea expedition, but a simple close-range sweep of the enemy.

"Okay, I'll give the order right away."

The Knights' headquarters was very close to the dock. Although it was already dusk, Demetrios would definitely be able to return before dark.

Thomas didn't rush to meet others, but returned to his living room to change his clothes and equipment.

I also took a shower.

I have been sleeping outdoors these days and there is no place to take a shower.

After all, I have to meet the envoy.

When he had finished packing and returned to the meeting room, he found that all the knights were already in place.

Honestly, with the changing situation, the Knights' center should be relocated to Smyrna. Rhodes Island will serve as a rear base.

This time, so many people are here because they were forcibly brought here by Thomas.

After all, he didn't know what cards Thor had or how strong he was.

In the best case scenario, he can handle it alone. If not, he will send all his national defense-level subordinates to besiege them. If that doesn't work, he will have to mobilize a large army.

If even with a large army, there's no guarantee of victory... then we can only give up...

So just to be on the safe side, most of the Knights were transferred here.

Everyone looked very serious, and it was obvious that they had been waiting for Thomas for a long time.

Demetrios has also returned.

Thomas sat down on the Grand Master's throne and Demetrios immediately handed him a document.

Thomas glanced briefly.

With access to the seventh layer of the magic network, Thomas felt that his brain speed was indeed accelerating. Among other things, his reading speed had increased significantly.

It's easy to imagine that if magicians read at a normal speed...
