The car door opened, and Tianyang left the magnetic car in the bright afternoon sunshine. Looking up, his vision was filled with various wild flowers growing densely on both sides of the road.
The Cardinal Court in Donglu exudes a sense of casualness everywhere, making it difficult to associate it with an important church site. It is like a church area located in the countryside, and it seems that anyone can enter and exit freely.
Although he didn't know what the situation was like in the Cardinal Court in Central Land, as far as Tianyang was concerned, he preferred the plain and casual style of the Cardinal Court in Eastern Land.
"Welcome back, Lord Tianyang." A familiar voice came.
Tianyang raised his head and saw a group of people walking out of the church gate, led by Bishop Gu Yun who had participated in the expedition.
The old man had a smile on his face, as if every wrinkle on his face was radiating kindness, and he seemed to have forgotten the unpleasant things that happened between him and Tianyang in the adverse world.
Beside the old man, Tianyang also saw some familiar faces, such as Yin Meng and Ye Xiao. In addition, there were some unfamiliar silver knights and black-robed priests.
Tianyang looked at Gu Yun with a smile. Gu Yun's words "welcome back" had a deeper meaning. Firstly, Tianyang was, at least in name, a Holy Silver Knight affiliated with the East Land Central Academy, so he was welcoming him back. Secondly, a deeper meaning was to remind Tianyang that he was a Holy Silver Knight of the East Land Central Academy, so he had to be cautious in what he said and did and pay attention to his position.
These thoughts flashed through Tianyang's mind. He did not express them on the surface, but just exchanged a few words with Gu Yun according to etiquette.
Then he introduced Xun and others to Gu Yun.
Gu Yun had been to the Sky Fort, so he naturally knew the only glory of the Sky Fort. When he saw Xun and Tianyang together, a trace of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he took Tianyang's hand intimately and enthusiastically and said, "Come, the archbishop is waiting for you, come this way."
"Mr. Tianyang, this long journey must have been fruitful."
"I heard that you caused a big fuss in the Central Continent. Not long ago, the Cardinals of the Central Continent complained to the General Court about us. They said that we were meddling too much and that we were overreaching. Humph, they didn't even look at what they were doing."
"If it weren't for Lord Tianyang's intervention, the reputation of our church would have been ruined by them."
When saying this, Gu Yun looked like he was united in hatred of the enemy, and there was no flaw in his expression and tone.
Tian Yang thought it was funny, but he didn't point it out. He said to Gu Yun hypocritically, "I'm sorry for causing trouble for the bishop and the archbishop."
Gu Yun laughed and said, "Your Excellency Tianyang, you are being polite. You are the trump card of our Cardinals' Council. This little trouble is nothing. Besides, you are protecting the image of our church. When the headquarters asked about this, the archbishop responded to them in the same way."
"Anyway, it's just a small matter, don't take it to heart. Oh, here we are."
They walked into the meeting room of the College of Cardinals, and Tianyang saw Guan Feng, the former bishop and current archbishop, at a glance.
He was still the same, with short hair, a square face, deep features, and silver-gray stubble on his chin. The archbishop's robe was almost torn by his burly figure.
As soon as he saw Tianyang, he burst into deafening laughter: "Brother Tianyang, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you to come back for a long time.
Liang, I finally waited for you to come here."
Tianyang couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling that these old men were more hypocritical than each other. Tianyang dared to bet that if he had not reached the Heavenly Rank and had not shown his skills in Zhonglu, otherwise, he might not be welcomed by the crowd, but ambushed and suppressed.
Don’t even expect Guan Feng to treat you as a brother.
This is also the reason why Tianyang has waited until now to come to the Cardinal Court of East Land. Without strong strength, coming to the Cardinal Court would be like walking into a trap.
"Sorry, Your Excellency Archbishop, I should have arrived earlier." Tianyang kept smiling and responded.
Guan Feng raised his hand and pointed at the black-robed men wearing silver masks in the row behind him, saying, "These are the black-robed deacons. They are responsible for collecting all kinds of information from the East Continent and other continents, and providing the necessary intelligence support for our operations."
Tian Yang nodded slightly to the black-robed men, and Guan Feng pointed at Gu Yun and said, "As for Archbishop Gu Yun, I think there is no need to introduce him, you should all know him."
"In addition, we have another priest here. I wonder if Brother Tianyang still remembers Mu Qing. She is from the Sky Castle just like you."
Tian Yang said frankly: "Of course I remember. At that time, I went into the inner crevice with Priest Mu Qing. Is she okay now?"
Gu Yun and Guan Feng exchanged glances, and then the archbishop coughed and said, "She is fine. If you want, you can go see her later. I think she will be happy to meet you."
After hearing what Guan Feng said, Tian Yang felt that Mu Qing's condition might not be as good as he said. He also wanted to see this female priest again. After all, she was parasitized by the splitter Po Xun at that time, and there was no guarantee that she would not have some mental problems.
"Okay, please take a seat, let's have a smooth chat today. After all, Brother Tianyang has come from afar and must be tired. Let's talk about some serious business tomorrow. How do you think this is a good idea?" Guan Feng said in a casual manner.
Tian Yang followed his tone and said, "Everything will be subject to the arrangements of the Archbishop."
So they talked for a while in the meeting room. Tianyang casually shared some of his experiences on the road, and the church gave a general description of the current situation in Donglu.
Although East Continent had not been affected by the war started by Hell Fortress, with previous experience as a lesson, the major fortresses in East Continent did not dare to be negligent and strengthened their vigilance, which was mainly reflected in the expansion of the army and the investment in armaments.
In addition, led by the Glorious Fortress in East Land, several other large fortresses were contacted to form a rapid response force. Once there are signs of Hell Fortress invading East Land, this force will respond quickly.
Regarding this continental war, Tianyang is not too worried about Skyfort. After all, Skyfort is located at the innermost part of the East Continent. Even if the war spreads to the East Continent, it will take a long time before it affects Skyfort.
Moreover, Tianyang doubted whether Hell Fortress could reach East Continent. In fact, it was surprising enough that a fortress could hold out for so long against the coalition forces of the Golden Council.
But in any case, without the infusion of fresh blood, it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated under the current tightening offensive of the Golden Court.
In the evening, Tianyang came to the house that the church arranged for him and Xun and others. This was originally Guan Feng's residence. After Guan Feng was promoted to archbishop, the previous archbishop Huang Shang had been transferred back to the main hospital, and no new bishop had taken office so far, so this house had been empty.
Knowing that Tianyang was coming, Guan Feng
He had the house cleaned and some new furniture bought for him, and made it clear that the house would belong to Tianyang from now on, and that even if he was not in the Cardinal's Court, he would arrange for someone to clean the house every day.
After closing the door, Tianyang was intimate with the two girls, and then he practiced the permanent state of the alien body.
After he made some adjustments, he activated his own variant 'Galaxy Flash', and immediately silver lines appeared on his body, silently outlining a pair of closed silver wings.
After activating the alien body, Tianyang's figure began to flicker on its own. At this time, he seemed able to sprint at any time, but what Tianyang wanted to do was not exercise in any sense. What he had to do was to maintain his usual daily living habits in the state of the alien body.
He will be considered successful when he can maintain his abnormal physique and still live a normal life, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating as usual, and even maintain his alien state while sleeping.
But now, Tianyang, who has just learned for a few days, obviously still has a long way to go if he wants to reach the ultimate level.
For example, at this moment, Tianyang was in the state of open alien body. He picked up a cup and wanted to drink water, but the cup broke with a buzzing sound as soon as he picked it up.
Even though Tianyang seemed to be in a relatively still state now, that was only on the surface. In fact, he was flickering silently all the time, and the cup could not withstand the high-frequency flickering and was naturally shattered.
Therefore, the most difficult part of living with an allosome is to prevent the specific physical condition from affecting your normal life.
Another difficulty is duration.
With Tianyang's current physical condition, it is not a problem to last for an hour, but if it lasts for more than three hours every day, even he, who is at the Heavenly Rank, will feel tired.
But he is fine, at least his special physique only affects his speed.
Qianhong's 'Popular Poison Body' will release trace amounts of toxins on its own even if it is not controlled intentionally, so if Qianhong wants to keep the alien body permanently, she has to invest a lot of energy in controlling the toxins.
For this reason, when she practices, she needs to be alone until she can control the toxins and prevent them from being released on their own, and then she can proceed to the next step of practice.
After practicing the alien body for an hour, Tianyang put away the "Galaxy Flashing" and felt a little mentally tired. Then he found a broom and other tools and started to clean up the cups, furniture and other items that were broken during his practice.
After dinner, under the arrangement of the church, Tianyang came to the room of Priest Mu Qing. He knocked on the door and said, "Priest Mu Qing, are you there? I am Tianyang."
The room was quiet, but suddenly, the door creaked open, and then Mu Qing's figure appeared behind the door. Standing in the warm light, Mu Qing raised her head and smiled, as beautiful and gentle as the first time Tianyang saw her.
But for some reason, Tianyang always felt that Mu Qing's condition at the moment was too perfect. He didn't think that an ordinary person who had been parasitized by an alien god could be so calm, as calm as if nothing had happened.
"Can I come in?" Tianyang said with a smile.
Mu Qing took a step back: "Of course, please come in."
At the same time, in Guan Feng's study, Gu Yun stood at the window, looked in the direction of Mu Qing's house, and said softly: "He went in."
Guan Feng raised his head and said nothing, just "hmm".
