Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 249 Sofia's City Lord's Mansion

Xingluo finally finished the experiment. He was very satisfied with the power of the divine arts. Although he was not of the light attribute, the divine arts also had a certain amplifying effect on magic. It was just that because the magic released was not light magic, the power was weaker.

Xingluo stood up. Because the pressure of the magic had not dissipated yet, Tiffany felt a huge pressure. Fortunately, Xingluo reacted in time and put away the last trace of the remaining magic. Tiffany breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she was very confused. The other party was not of light attribute, so how could he release such a powerful magic? Xingluo is now a cardinal, and since he is in charge of the affairs of the Church of Light in the entire empire, he can also be called a cardinal. His status is only second to the Pope, and there are very few people like him who do not belong to the light attribute but become cardinals.

Xingluo walked over, looked at Tiffany and said, "From now on, you will be responsible for preaching in Luoshen Country. After all, you have the attribute of light. What do you think, Bishop Tiffany?"

Xingluo promoted Tiffany several levels with just one sentence. Tiffany was delighted. She had been waiting for this day for a long time. With her talent, if she wanted to get closer to the God of Light, she didn't know how many years she would have to endure. However, as soon as Xingluo became a cardinal, he gave her the coveted position. As for the cardinal, Tiffany didn't even dare to think about it because her talent and piety were far from enough.

After Xingluo joined the Church of Light, Tiffany became closer to him. In addition to being friends, they also had a superior relationship. This not only did not make Tiffany alienate Xingluo, but made her more obedient to Xingluo, as if it was just another reason to stick to Xingluo. However, preaching in the entire Luoshen Empire was a big deal after all, which was related to the number of believers of the God of Light. Tiffany did not dare to be careless and started preparing for related matters before she had time to rest. Xingluo naturally would not take the initiative to help the God of Light spread his faith, as he still had a lot of things to do.

After Tiffany got busy, Xingluo strolled leisurely in Luoshen City and came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion involuntarily. He thought of the past and sighed helplessly. At this time, Sophia, wearing a feather lace hat, came over, and the exquisite necklace on her chest flashed in the sun.

Xingluo looked at the other party and said, "How about it, Sophia? If you need help, just tell me. Don't just hold on by yourself."

After seeing Xingluo, Sophia's tense spirit relaxed a little. It was obvious that her emotional state had not been very stable recently, and it could even be said to be extremely bad. Xingluo was still wearing a cardinal's robe at this time, and Sophia became even more excited after seeing this.

Xingluo stopped talking when he saw Sophie didn't say anything. Sophia saw this and led Xingluo into the City Lord's Mansion, introducing the buildings here in detail as they walked. Although it was not the first time Xingluo came here, he went directly into the banquet hall last time and didn't know much about other places. This was a rare opportunity, so Xingluo followed the young duchess on a tour.

The City Lord's Mansion, like a towering fortress, is located in the center of the city. Due to the baptism of the abyss, the City Lord's Mansion has been completely renovated by the earth magician. In addition, it was previously inhabited by Sophia's father, so Sophia needs to make minor adjustments to some of the building structures. The newly built building is towering into the sky, standing on top of the entire city. The walls are made of thick and solid bluestone, revealing a faint gray luster under the setting sun.

Entering the City Lord's Mansion, the layout after the renovation was even more magnificent, which was obviously beyond Xingluo's expectations. He thought to himself: "It seems that Sophia has grown very fast after this blow. I believe she will be able to adapt to her status as a duchess soon. It seems that people can grow faster in adversity and surpass themselves yesterday."

In the middle of the vast and spacious hall is a huge mural depicting the most glorious moments in the city's long history. The painting depicts various historical events and heroes in great detail, making people feel as if they were in those times.

Walking along the vast hall, there are a lot of magic equipment and antique furniture along the way, showing the grandeur. Every furnishing looks exquisite and elegant.

Passing through the gorgeously decorated porches and arriving at the inner courtyard, I saw thousands of pots of flowers and plants blooming in the garden, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. Several beautiful irises in full bloom caught Xingluo's attention, which made Xingluo feel the difference between the alien continent. It seems that even plants are different. The elegant fragrance of irises can be smelled from such a distance. Among the flowers, a small round table stood quietly. There were several rattan chairs carved from mahogany around the table, leisurely placed around.

The City Lord's Mansion is a symbol of the city, as well as a symbol of power and wealth. The newly built and renovated more magnificent buildings and the exquisite and magnificent furnishings inside full of historical atmosphere show the majesty and strength of the city lord.

Xingluo looked at Iris and said, "Have you joined the Church of Light?"

Sophia looked up at Xingluo, bowed, and kissed the ring on Xingluo's left hand. This was a magic ring bestowed by the Holy See of Light to the cardinal. Xingluo had not had time to check it, but Xingluo was not familiar with etiquette. However, Sophia, as a noble, should know it.

After Sophia finished her greetings, she said, "Lord Xingluo, I will listen to you from now on. Even if you ask me to die, I will not hesitate."

Xingluo was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Sofia to say that. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer. Sofia saw Xingluo's dilemma and chuckled: "It seems that Lord Xingluo is not used to the identity of the cardinal yet."

Xingluo shook his head helplessly. Before the Holy See of Light, he thought it was nothing. But after the disaster of the abyss, he found that he had to face up to the contradiction between theocracy and royal power, and when he had to make a choice, he had to choose one.

Xingluo did not answer Sophia's words, and began to ask Sophia about the arrangements of the Holy See of Light in Luoshen City. Sophia told Xingluo everything she knew both publicly and privately. The two met because of food, and because Xingluo saved her from despair and freed her from a deadly situation, coupled with the passing of her father, she urgently needed a spiritual sustenance. It would be better to say that she joined the Holy See of Light because of her devout belief in the God of Light, but rather that she wanted to be closer to Xingluo. She regarded Xingluo as a pillar of her heart, and only then did she slowly find herself from the brink of mental breakdown.

Sophia collected her chaotic thoughts. "Many people from Luoshen City have joined the Church of Light. After all, this place has just experienced the baptism of the abyss and is in urgent need of finding a powerful force to rely on. In their hearts, they need spiritual sustenance. However, the number of people who have joined the Church of Light in the entire Luoshen Empire is not very large. After all, the empire did not have the Church of Light to preach in the past."
