"Thank you for coming, everyone. Your arrival has added a different kind of brilliance to Star Duner..." David, the host, came to the center of the hall after all the invited guests arrived, ready to deliver a speech.
Just when he was halfway through speaking, his complexion suddenly changed.
Because there were two transmission applications from the star-level portal, Archbishop Barney of the Temple of the Earth and Archbishop Julian of the Temple of Justice.
In the divine world, perhaps the most powerful in the secular world is the fifth-level Templar, but it is the temple that really controls this world, and the archbishop is the controller of the temple.
Therefore, it can also be said that the five archbishops are the true rulers of the divine world.
David never considered that the archbishop would come in person, but he knew that the archbishop would not participate in this kind of reception.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry, I want to welcome the great Archbishop Barney and Archbishop Julian outside the castle!" David stopped his speech and said with a bow.
"Lord Arthur, we will go out with you!" Lord Gould was also taken aback, but he quickly nodded to the dozens of lords beside him, and then said.
The us Lord Gould refers to is this loose alliance that has no name today.
"Please allow me to go out with you!" The rest of the Templars bowed and said.
Not to mention the priests of the five great temples, they all need to welcome them, whether they are the archbishops of their own temples or not.
So when David walked out of the castle, all the guests who came to the reception stood outside the castle with him.
"The great Archbishop Barney arrives!"
"The great Archbishop Julian arrives!"
Just now because the reception officially started, the tourists who came to watch the grand ceremony in the main city thought they could take a rest. Some tourists were preparing to browse around the main city, while others planned to leave after the portal opened.
But after hearing the announcement, everyone in every corner of the city knelt down on the ground, regardless of whether they believed in the God of the Earth and the God of Justice, or whether they were believers or not, they all welcomed the two with the most respected etiquette of God's World. archbishop.
After the star-level portal flashed twice, two figures with white bodies all over appeared.
It is impossible for the two archbishops to use their bodies to come over. After the two spiritual avatars are blessed with gods, they are like two hot balls of light in the eyes of everyone.
At the same time, a warm breath spread throughout the main city of Duner, and everyone felt the peace from the depths of their souls.
David was not surprised that the two archbishops performed magical spells as soon as they appeared to show the greatness of the gods. In order to maintain the faith, the temple does this every day.
In fact, the stronger the knight's strength, the lower his faith, because a powerful knight has come into contact with the reality of power, and he will clearly realize that the gods are nothing more than the existence of more powerful power.
Although the power of the gods is still not comparable to that of a powerful knight, as long as this kind of thinking exists, the belief will not be pure.
This is also the reason why Lord Gould risked life and death with the four lords in the past, and also wanted to slaughter the gods. They wanted to break the shackles of the fifth level and become like gods.
Even if there is only a little hope, a powerful knight will not hesitate to sacrifice his life.
Among the people kneeling on the ground, some believers had already begun to recite the sacred scriptures. After the appearance of the two archbishops, a peaceful atmosphere enveloped the entire main city.
"Congratulations to the great Archbishop Barney, and welcome to the great Archbishop Julian!" When the two archbishops flew to the castle, David bowed to welcome them.
The rest of the guests beside David also bowed and saluted in unison, expressing their respect.
The two archbishops descended in front of David. Although David bowed to salute, he could clearly see the two archbishops through the shadow waiter and his own perception.
This is the first time David has seen a spiritual clone, a clone formed purely of spirit.
He is also considered to be extremely strong in spirit. In terms of the total amount of spirit, he always thought that he was very strong, but when he saw the spiritual clones of the two archbishops, he felt that there are people beyond others, and there is a sky beyond the sky.
The spirits in the two archbishop's spiritual avatars are completely composed of spirits that exceed the fifth-level standard. David doesn't know whether this is the spirit that the archbishop has cultivated through secret methods, or whether it is a gift from God, but the spirit of the archbishop's spiritual avatar is only It was weaker than the plague god Gladstone he had seen.
David even had a feeling that it was very likely that the two archbishops' physical strength exceeded level five.
"Lord Arthur, on behalf of the Temple of the Earth, I congratulate you on being promoted to a Templar Knight. This is my gift!" Archbishop Barney said with a smile.
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a pale golden water glass appeared and slowly landed in front of David.
"On behalf of the Temple of Justice, I congratulate you on your promotion to the Knights Templar. This is my gift!" Archbishop Julian said afterwards.
Archbishop Julian also waved his hand, and a water cup with almost the same style appeared, side by side with another water cup in front of David.
"Thank you for the generous gift of the two archbishops, and invite the two archbishops to enter!" David bowed to invite the two cups with both hands.
"We can't leave the temple for a long time, so we won't go in!" Archbishop Barney said with a smile.
"See you at the temple when you have time!" Archbishop Julian continued.
After the two archbishops finished speaking, they disappeared in a flash without waiting for David's reply. A few seconds later, David received the message from the star-level portal that the two archbishops had left and disappeared.
David breathed a long sigh of relief. If he had known that the two archbishops would come, he would never have worn the artifact 'Dark Shadow' on his body.
Although the artifact 'Dark Shadow' has been repeatedly confirmed by him, and the temple recognizes that he has it in his hands, it is not always a good thing to wear the artifact of the evil god to meet the archbishop of the temple.
Fortunately, the two archbishops obviously had a good impression of him, and they even sent congratulatory gifts.
As for keeping the two archbishops, it is almost impossible. Not to mention the presence of two archbishops, even though they are all five-level powerhouses present, they will feel uncomfortable.
Not to mention that it has never been heard that the two archbishops have left the temple for a long time. When they become archbishops, both the body and the spiritual clone need to stay in the temple, waiting for the call of the gods at any time.
David looked at the two water cups in his hands with the patterns of the God of the Earth and the God of Justice. The water inside was familiar to him, it was holy water.
When he was in the Interstellar Federation, the 'Holy Water of Immortality' he obtained from the Divine World Intelligence Organization was made from holy water. In some respects, the effect of holy water was stronger than that of 'Holy Water of Immortality'.
Due to the threat of the believers of the evil gods, Duner star asked for a large amount of holy water from several major temples, but this does not mean that the holy water is not precious.
On the contrary, holy water is very precious. The production of holy water in the temple is fixed, and the temple itself needs to consume part of it. The intelligence organization of the Elephant God World in the Interstellar Federation also needs to take part of the holy water.
Each branch hall of the temple should keep some holy water for emergencies, and there are other necessary distribution shares, so that the amount of holy water that can be distributed freely is not much.
David has a good relationship with the temple, so he can get a lot of holy water supply.
"Lord Arthur, this is the holy grail, a cup of holy water can be condensed every day!" Bishop Boleyn walked up to David and explained to him.
David had guessed about the role of the Holy Grail when he saw the holy water inside, and he nodded when he heard what Bishop Boleyn said.
"Lord Arthur, it seems that the two archbishops attach great importance to you!" Lord Gould said softly.
Although there are not many Holy Grails in the temples, they are also holy vessels that can produce holy water. It is extremely rare for two archbishops to give them away.
In fact, the arrival of the two archbishops was to strengthen the connection with David. Archbishop Cameron's body was sacrificed by Archbishop Julian, and the human leather space bag and the evil items inside were sacrificed by Archbishop Barney.
The two archbishops obtained more benefits than expected from the sacrifice, and the God of Earth and the God of Justice liked their sacrifice very much.
This made the two archbishops pay more attention to Lord Arthur. You must know that Lord Arthur killed two fifth-level bishops in a short period of time.
And the killing of the fifth-level bishop recorded in the Great World of God dates back hundreds of years.
That's why the two archbishops came to give gifts in person. Don't say that what the two archbishops gave was the precious Holy Grail, even if they didn't give anything, they just came to show their faces, which brought great benefits to David.
From the behavior of the two archbishops, we can see the attitude of the temple towards Lord Arthur, at least the attitude of the Earth Temple and the Temple of Justice towards Lord Arthur.
After returning to the hall, the atmosphere in the hall became more enthusiastic, and all the guests paid more attention to David.
After David finished his half-spoken speech, the fourth-level sky knight servant brought red wine.
There are a total of twelve of these four-level sky knights, which David brought over from Gami star. These twelve four-level sky knights have no flying mounts, and now they have been reduced to servants.
The guests holding the red wine felt even better. The red wine ranked No. 1 in the world of God belongs to the world, whether they have drunk it or not, they are all in high spirits.
Twelve fourth-level sky knights came to the long table prepared for placing food on the side of the hall, and took out plates of dishes from the space ring.
Immediately, the entire hall was filled with the aroma of food.
"Lord Arthur, you should hold more receptions, and we can only taste your amazing cooking through the opportunity of receptions!" Lord Gould took some food from the dining plate and said with a smile.
His words aroused the support of all the fifth-level powerhouses present, and they all nodded in agreement.
"In the future, my energy avatar will be stationed in the main city of Duner. Welcome to visit us!" David replied with a smile.
David doesn't care about making some dishes. Anyway, no matter which energy avatar it is, as long as it is controlled by him, it can cook peerless delicacies.
"That's a deal!" A fifth-level Templar knight interjected.
Laughter resounded in the hall, especially the Templars who belonged to Lord Gould's alliance were even more happy.
Regardless of the fact that David invited all the fifth-level Templars, but they knew it well, and they didn't have a certain friendship, so they wouldn't come to visit on weekdays, unless there was a major event.
Visiting Lord Arthur means establishing a deep friendship with Lord Arthur. Once such friendship is established, in addition to receiving corresponding benefits, possible troubles must also be considered.
Lord Arthur's enemies include the Lytton family and the Mather family. The Lytton family has been suppressed by the temple many times, and now they have been seriously injured. Only two fifth-level Templars are struggling to support them.
Lord Amos of the Mather family has disappeared without a trace, and no one can find his trace. Everyone knows that he is avoiding Lord Arthur.
These are minor troubles for Lord Arthur, the real big trouble is 'Ragnarok'.
The fifth-level Templars can become friends with David, but if they want to form a closer relationship, they need to consider that once Lord Arthur asks for help, they will have to deal with the "Gods at Dusk".
Lord Gould looked at the attitude of many fifth-level Templars in the hall with a smile. The attitude of wanting to get close, but not too close, made him want to laugh.
No one here knows Lord Arthur better than Lord Gould. Lord Gould has never seen Lord Arthur ask for help. Even in the face of a powerful enemy, Lord Gould offered to help. Not accepted.
That's it, Lord Arthur has been beheading the enemies he encountered one by one, and his own strength has also soared.
Today's Lord Arthur does not need the help of others, he is capable of dealing with any enemy.
David was the busiest person in the reception, he communicated with every guest and performed his friendship as a host.
Butler Dickens commanded the servants of the fourth-level sky knights to replenish the food continuously, and he was proud and helpless in his heart.
Lord Arthur cooked a large amount of food just for the reception. This was prescient. Except for Charlie, all the rest in this hall were five-level powerhouses.
The food intake of the fifth-level powerhouses cannot be calculated at all. As long as they want to eat, their strong physique gives them unparalleled digestion ability.
This also caused the twelve fourth-level sky knights to continuously replenish food and red wine. Fortunately, there were sufficient reserves in the space ring, and Steward Dickens didn't have much to worry about.
Lord Gould was also very busy. Taking this opportunity to communicate with many Templars and Lords, he used his relationship with Lord Arthur to contact every Templar who had influence on the election.
Due to the appearance of the two archbishops, Lord Arthur's status has been improved abruptly, and Lord Gould's conversation has also been smoother. Some Templars who used to have both sides have changed their views to support Lord Gould this time.
What pleased Lord Gould even more was that several more Templars joined his alliance, which increased the influence of the alliance.
When the 'Heart-warming Lotus Seed Soup' was delivered, the atmosphere in the hall reached its climax.
"Thank you, Lord Arthur, for your generosity!" A fifth-level templar couldn't help thanking loudly when he received the 'heart-warming lotus seed soup' from the fourth-level sky knight servant.
The fifth-level Templars who have not tasted 'Warming Heart Lotus Seed Soup' can never imagine the importance of 'Warming Heart Lotus Seed Soup' to the Templars.
