I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 421 Joint Statement (3150, stayed up all night, see if I can post another chapter tonight)
Armor and clothes were torn to pieces all over the ground. In the cold wind, everyone looked at each other, completely unsure of what to do.

The "halo of honor" that Sullivan had just given out seemed to no longer have any effect.

A few knights reacted quickly and picked up helmets from the ground to cover the key parts.

The people in the Temple of Light did not dare to put down their weapons and could only hold their legs together in shock, anger and chill.

How could there be such a shameless magic! ?
Yes, get close to nature.

Druids have always claimed that they are close to nature, and many of them live alone in the mountains and forests. It turns out that this is how close they are to nature!

No wonder they choose to live in seclusion!
If you want to be close to others, then go ahead and do it yourself. Why are you forcing others to be close to you?

Compared to others, Cecil, who is a spellcaster, was even more horrified.

What kind of magic is this! It can actually penetrate the glorious barrier! ?

The Radiant Barrier is one of the most powerful five-ring magics, and can defend against all known magics in a small range.

In the thousands of years of history of the Temple of Light, no divine magic has ever broken this law!

How did this druid do it!?

Why has this shameless magic never been heard of before?

No, it didn't seem like one divine spell just now. I clearly felt the combined effect of two divine spells. The first divine spell first released the divine spell binding on my Holy Light Oracle robe, and the second divine spell exploded the robe.

It was incredible that one divine power could break through the glorious barrier, let alone two of them!
Fang Yu blew on his fingers with satisfaction. What’s two?
I have many spells that you have never known. If I hadn't taken into consideration the onlookers hiding in the mansion next door, I would have performed some fencing skills on you two hundred people.

Anyway, this kind of thing is not uncommon in your Temple of Light.

Although Fang Yu still lacks some common sense in the arcane knowledge he possesses, in many aspects, especially in theory, he has already reached the level of a true intermediate wizard.

When Cecil used the "Glorious Barrier" scroll, Fang Yu had already begun to subconsciously analyze what the basic structure of this divine magic model should be like.

There is no spell called Radiant Ward in the standard spells of the Age of Arcane. It should be a new thing that appeared after the end of the Age of Arcane.

He was also very curious about how this magic with only five rings could defend against all magic.

"Absolute Defense" is a nine-ring spell, and it is also a single-target spell.

This brilliant barrier is obviously a range spell, and a five-ring spell cannot defend against all spells.

Even defending against all spells of the same fifth ring is unlikely.

In order to achieve this effect, the model of this spell must be very simple and direct in its judgment structure.

As simple as... a table of known spells entered directly into the judgment structure.

So Fang Yu tried it and it worked.

The effectiveness judgment mechanism in the Radiant Ward spell model is similar to a very simple keyword filter, and it will only be successful if it is completely consistent with the keyword.

Any homophones, variations, radical combinations...even just adding a space cannot trigger this filter. Only when they are exactly the same will they be filtered.

In other words, any arcane mage in the Age of Greater Arcane could, as long as he slightly modified the parameters of the spell model, the Radiant Ward would have no effect on the modified spell.

In the Age of the Great Arcane, this kind of spell is of course garbage and no one would use it.

But in the age of divine arts, this magic is unexpectedly useful.

Because in essence all divine spells are not actually cast by the caster, but are cast through "God". They are all standard spell models, and the role of the caster is similar to that of an artilleryman. Every shell fired is standard, and the parameters do not change under any circumstances.

In this way, the "Glorious Barrier" which uses the simplest method similar to "keyword filtering" has become the most powerful defensive spell of this era.

Unfortunately, both "undressing" and "unbinding" were created or modified by Fang Yu himself, and are not within the shielding range of the "Glorious Barrier".

"Undress" is a zero-level desire spell created by Fang Yu, while "Unbind" is separated from the three-level ritual spell "Remove Curse" that once removed the "blood disease" curse on Lu Jiayan.

Most of the armor and robes worn by knights and priests are common items and can be removed by using the "Undress" skill.

As for Cecil and Sullivan who are above level five, as well as several other knights, the wizard robes and armor they wear are all attached with magical effects. They must first use "unbinding" to dispel the magical effects on these equipment. Only after they become ordinary items can they be "undressed".

In addition to transferring curses from intelligent creatures to designated creatures, "Remove Curse" can also unbind the users of some alchemical items.

The reason why I said part and not all is because there are many ways to bind the identity of alchemical items, and binding using spells is only one of them.

Fang Yu just used the identification technique to take a look and found that the divine equipment worn by these senior priests and knights were all bound by spells.

Then why be polite?

More than two hundred white pigs were shivering in the cold wind.

The ice and snow storm outside the barrier gradually disappeared, as if it had never been there, leaving only a thick layer of smooth and solid ice on the ground.

Cecil's face flushed with shame and indignation.

If suicide was not strictly prohibited in the Temple of Light, he would have wanted to grab the long sword of the knight next to him and slit his throat on the spot. If he failed, this mission would definitely fail.

And failed in such a humiliating way!
Thinking of the ridicule and mockery they would face for the rest of their lives because of this humiliation, everyone in the Temple of Light couldn't help but turn pale.

Only the blood of this druid can wash away this nightmarish shame!

I must report to the Archbishop that no matter what the cost, I will lead my men to destroy Elbery!
Cecil clenched his fists.

The glorious barrier above everyone's heads flickered, and it was obvious that it was about to lose its effect.

"Commander Sullivan, retreat!" Cecil gritted his teeth, made a prompt decision, turned around and said to Sullivan, who also looked as pale as death.

"What gave you the illusion that you could walk?"

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom……

The thick ice on the ground exploded with a loud bang, forming four nearly ten-meter-high ice walls on the block, enclosing all the people in the Temple of Light.

Sullivan, who was wearing only his bare skin, had veins bulging on his neck. He swung his sword and a beam of fire hit the ice wall, but it was of no use except for splashing a few pieces of ice.

"Druid!" Cecil turned around suddenly and saw the tall silhouette illuminated by the light in the third-floor window of the official residence, and his anger was about to burst.

"Druid! You are blaspheming the God of Light! You are provoking the Temple of Light!"

"You will regret this! The Cathedral will make you pay the price!"

"There are no cowards who surrender in the Temple of Light! Even if we die, we will return to the Kingdom of God! Light is eternal!"

Cecil's eyes were fanatical, and his face was abnormally flushed. Under his encouragement, the low-ranking knights, who had originally looked a little shaken, became firm again.

"The cathedral you are talking about, is it this cathedral?" A roll of parchment floated out from the lighted window and opened automatically.

With a whoosh, the parchment in the air grew in the wind and soon grew to a size of several square meters, with every letter on it shining with golden light.

"Eternal Contract!"

There was a commotion at the scene, and almost everyone recognized this thing instantly.

This is a top-level contract that all parties must abide by once it is signed, except for the gods!
"Joint statement from the Temple of Light, the Temple of Fortune, the Wanfang Trading Company, and the Grand Duchy of Albert on the independent status of the Albery Autonomous Territory and the promotion of the four-party comprehensive strategic partnership?"

What is this?
After reading only a few lines, Cecil's face changed drastically.

How can it be?

If this agreement really existed, why did Archbishop Caramon send himself to investigate Albery and the Temple of Wealth?

"I don't know if the Great Cathedral you mentioned will make me pay, but I can be sure that the seal of the Holy Council of the Great Cathedral will make you pay."

"The day after signing the agreement, they blatantly violated it, betrayed the Eternal Oath, and attempted to overthrow the independent territory of Albery."

"You will be considered blasphemers by the Grand Cathedral. Are you sure your kingdom of God will still accept you? Poor fellows."

Fang Yu tapped his fingers lightly, and the solid ice wall twisted and deformed like liquid, gradually shrinking its range, wrapping up everyone and forming an enormous ice ball.

Primary shaping essence.

The ice ball, which is nearly ten meters in diameter, is crystal clear, and one can clearly see more than two hundred men frozen in the ice.

Some brave residents had gathered around and were pointing at the ice hockey with excitement.

Fang Yu snapped his fingers, and the ice ball instantly broke into pieces, and Luo Nan fell to the ground.

A patrol team, led by Lyle Marcus, dragged these Temple of Light believers, who had completely lost their fighting power and were only breathing their last breath, out of the ice like frozen fish. They tied a rope around each of them and threw them into a carriage on the side of the road.

Looking at a dozen carriages galloping towards the Elbery Extraordinary Shelter, Fang Yu touched his chin with satisfaction.

Haha, grandpa is right. Any large organization is never a monolithic entity.

It is always easier to take a strong city from the inside than from the outside.

This time, I should be considered to have given a great gift to the reformists of the Temple of Light, right? The rest of the matter can be completely handed over to the Temple of Wealth and Flavius.

There is no other way. Estria believes in the Temple of Light. Only with the cooperation of the Temple of Light and the financial support of the Temple of Wealth can the mineral vein in the original furnace be effectively mined.

However, Flavius's ability is still a little lacking, he is not responsible enough, and he likes to pass the blame too much.

If he had handled it properly this time, nothing like what happened today would have happened.

Fang Yu frowned. There was still a year until the next Holy Election Ceremony. When the Holy Election took place, he still had to find a suitable candidate to succeed Flavius ​​as Pope.

Forget it, there is still a year left, so there is plenty of time to consider candidates.

Fang Yu looked in the direction of the Temple of Wealth, turned around and started the switch.
