Chapter 834: No.1 Church (Part One)
Buckingham was a great speaker. After he gathered his thoughts, he told Emperor Juninho about everything that had happened. Starting from how he led the navy of Leon and tried to trap the King of Byzantine, he then got into how the King of Chambord suddenly appeared and captured him. After that, it was the trip on [Brilliance], the discovery of the Sea Tribe, and that insane battle at the bottom of the sea.
In the beginning, Emperor Juninho was able to keep his composure and listen to Buckingham’s story nonchalantly. However, when he heard about the King of Chambord knocking away D’Alessandro’s god-tier combat weapon, Continental Martial Saint Maradona’s shadow appearing in the bottom of the sea, and the King of Chambord destroying one of that evil sea god’s arms, Juninho finally seemed to be shocked.
“Are you sure? Are you sure that D’Alessandro used all his strength and tried to kill you two with that god-tier combat weapon? It was knocked away by the King of Chambord?”
“Yes.”
“Are you sure that Continental Martial saint Maradona’s shadow appeared at the bottom of the sea and easily took away the god-tier combat weapon from that evil sea god?”
“Yes.”
“Are you sure that the King of Chambord smashed away one of the evil sea god’s arms with his hammer?”
“Yes.”
Juninho rarely lost composure, but he was out of it at this moment.
After asking the first question while sitting down on his throne, this emperor instantly stood up and asked the second and third questions. When he got the answers to all three questions, he fell back down onto his throne.
This series of actions clearly painted the picture of how anxious and surprised this ruler, who was the most powerful within a region of 500,000 kilometers of Gerland City, was.
In comparison, Buckingham was calm throughout the process as he sat still on the stone chair and replied with three ‘yes’. Emperor Juninho who was tough and wouldn’t even flinch if a giant mountain collapsed in front of him lost his composure in front of Buckingham for the first time, and it seemed like this young man already foresaw this.
After all, the answers to the three questions were too stunning.
“It seems like… this D’Alessandro who is extremely arrogant finally ran into trouble. However, our trouble is larger than that megalomaniac’s.” A bitter smile appeared on Juninho’s face.
“Indeed. Now that the Zenit Empire has such a terrifying warrior, we… we…” Buckingham paused a little and didn’t know how to express his mind properly.
“Continue,” Juninho ordered.
“If our Leon Empire continues to battle with the Zenitians, a disaster will be waiting for us.” Buckingham shivered under Emperor Juninho’s intense stare, and he instantly said what was on his mind without hesitation.
What he said was no different to a loud slap in the face of every proud Leonian.
It was a kind of shame that the Leon Empire rarely experienced in the last 100 years.
However, Juninho started laughing. He scratched his head and said powerlessly, “Although it is the truth, it is a hard pill to swallow, especially when it is coming from you, the most talented person in the young generation in my eyes… However, you don’t understand. The trouble that I mentioned isn’t the same thing on your mind.”

After leaving the Royal Palace of Leon, Fei didn’t hurry up and leave Gerland City.
Instead, he dashed toward the tall structures to the northwest of Gerland City; that was the location of the No.1 Church that the Holy Church set up inside the Leon Empire, and it was also the place where that mysterious master planted the blood-red skeleton inside Buckingham’s body and offered him great power.
Fei felt like a mystical summoning was drawing him toward that location.
Although the incident involving D’Alessandro was urgent, it wasn’t so easy to come to the Leon Empire. Before getting out of here, Fei had to figure out the answers to his questions involving that mysterious master and the blood-red skeleton.
Like a long thorn, this mysterious master was sticking in Fei’s mind, and he felt uneasy about the whole thing.
The sharp barbarian instinct told Fei that this mysterious master was the origin of all the troubles and chaos on the continent. If he wanted to slow down the speed which chaos was taking place, he had to put an end to the origin and take out this thorn.
With the help of [The Throne of Chaos], Fei traveled through the cracks in space smoothly, achieving a fast speed and maintaining stealth at the same time. Even though many checkpoints and guard stations existed in Gerland City, none of them discovered Fei.
Chapter 834: No.1 Church (Part Two)
In just a few moments, Fei already arrived at the entrance which led to the many palaces that belonged to the Holy Church.
“Huh? The level of protection in this place is inferior compared with the residential areas. The Holy Church has always been arrogant and overbearing; do they really think that no one dares to trigger them?”
After Fei sent out his spirit energy, he discovered that the guards were all ordinary; the priests and godly knights who weren’t that powerful patrolled the region by walking in between palaces lazily.
Since it was already midnight, no worshippers were around, and the scattered magic lights in the region faintly illuminated the palaces and god statues, making it seem very peaceful.
According to the descriptions that Buckingham gave him, Fei slowly walked up to the No.1 Church in the Leon Empire before carefully observing it.
The Holy Church was known for its luxury on the continent, and this church was no exception.
The No.1 Church in the Leon Empire was as tall as a mountain, looking out of touch by mere mortals. The 99 steps which led to the gate of the church looked like a path to Heaven, and there were two giant god statues on either side of the church. Each of the statues was more than 100 meters tall, and one of them was holding a saber while the other grabbed an ax. They looked life-like, and their toes were higher than the height of an average human.
Other than these two giant god statues, many god statues which were much smaller than these two were everywhere around the church, looking like the trees inside a forest. Under the watch of so many pairs of eyes on the god statues, people would feel an indescribable pressure.
The height and size of this church were even more majestic compared to the Royal Palace of Leon, demonstrating the arrogant and overbearing character of the Holy Church.
Fei raised his leg and moved one of his feet toward the first step. Then, an energy flame flashed, and the king stepped onto the platform in front of the No.1 Church in the Leon Empire which was above the 99th step.
The giant arched gate was carved out of a giant piece of bright carnelian and crystal, and the various tales in the [Code of God] were engraved on it. The 24 giant pillars in front of the main gate which propped up the roof were carved into human figures, looking like 24 giants were carrying the roof of this church with their shoulders and hands. The scenes where the powerful gods and heroes were involved in battles in the legends were all engraved on the walls inside this church.
Overall, this church looked like a building in the realm where the gods lived.
Fei lightly pushed over the gate and walked in.
The inside of this church looked empty like the void, and the white candles which looked like decorative pieces on the walls and the table deep inside the building were lit; they looked like brilliant stars in the universe as the white light illuminated around the candles. When Fei walked in, he felt insignificant as if he was being compared to the universe.
Since it was already late, there were no priests or godly knights in here.
While Fei slowly walked inside, he took out a green gem from his storage ring and injected a streak of magic energy into it. The magic gem instantly released a subtle energy fluctuation, and the undetectable energy wave expanded outward in all directions.
This was the unique communication method that mysterious master gave Buckingham.
Such a magic gem was rare since it wasn’t an ordinary magic crystal. The energy fluctuation that it emitted was strange and undetectable to most people; only entities extremely familiar with this magic gem could capture this energy fluctuation.
Soon, Fei got to the deepest location inside this No.1 Church in the Leon Empire.
On the platform, there were three giant god statues that were made from unknown metals. Fei was unfamiliar with these god statues since they looked vicious and had violent auras around them. Besides, the weapons in their hands looked to be stained by a blood-like substance. Overall, they didn’t seem peaceful and gentle like the other god statues.
Fei was now well-read and studied many important scriptures and literature about the Holy Church, but he couldn’t recall seeing the descriptions of these three god statues. At least the church in Chambord City didn’t worship gods on this level.
Suddenly, Fei detected something, and he turned around abruptly.
A cloud of silver energy floated into this church in silence before turning into a genial old man who had white hair and white eyebrows and was wearing the white robe of the Holy Church.
He was emitting a friendly and welcoming aura, making Fei feel like he met a relative whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.
