Chapter 328: The Gigantification Technique
Sherry used her magic to catch everyone.
Those people still looked shocked after they reached the ground.
"Everyone, I am from the Church of the Dawn Goddess, under Master Celica. What happened?" Peter stepped forward.
"They are fighting up there!"
"Yes, some rioters attacked the auction."
"Bishop Celica went to check on the auction and ran into some enemies."
"They want to kill us!"
"Quick, capture them all and execute them!"
"Damn it, they are breaking the law in our Laria…"
Some frightened people began to talk all at once.
"Silence!"
Sherry tossed out a card.
[Name: Calm Spirit]
[Category: Spell]
[Star Level: 5]
[Grade: Blue Rare]
[Job Limitation: Pastor]
[Introduction: After using this, even if you see your wife and daughter serving other men, you can quickly calm down, as long as you remember to use this card… What? Why am I making this comparison? You ask too many questions!]
Buzz!
Everyone began to calm down.
This card is similar to the magic circle Jeff used above.
"Huff…" Aileen stepped forward and began to speak, "We attended the auction, and at first everything was fine. When they were auctioning the dark elf, Master Celica suddenly arrived, and then the rioters attacked the auction."
"One of the rioters fought evenly with Master Celica; they damaged the power supply, closing many of the auction doors and leaving only one open. Everyone panicked and tried to escape, but in their hurry, there was a small clash, and some people died."
"Mr. Jeff caught many nobles with a net. We did not know his purpose. Were the rioters working with him? Was this all staged?"
"The people who came out were all Pande nobles who trusted me. Together, with the help of Saaya Colloa’s guards, we escaped, captured their men, and learned where they came from."
"Split the autumn colors with Master Celica?" Sherry frowned slightly and asked, "Is the one attacking a dark elf?"
"I can’t see clearly," Aileen shook her head.
"This situation is a bit chaotic…" Peter quickly said, "Let’s hurry and support Master Celica! Their concealment magic circle is really good; neither of us can see the floating island."
"Tell me the specific details." Sherry did not act impulsively but calmly asked, "Normally, just the aftermath of Master Celica fighting would make it hard for you to survive."
"There was a magic circle suppressing power; at first, it took away all magic. Later, it seemed someone broke it a little, and we recovered to sixth-tier, but Mr. Jeff activated another magic circle, suppressing our magic again. Now, the only one able to use sixth-tier power is Master Celica; her opponent, Mr. Jeff, can barely manage," Aileen said. "He doesn’t want us to come out, and we suspect his intentions!"
"You should know, so many nobles have died up there, and the chain reaction will be very serious."
Aileen desperately blamed Jeff for everything.
They fought their way out partly because people had died; the Corleone family could not guarantee their safety, and partly because of the chaos, as they did not know Jeff’s role.
Therefore, the Corleone family could not pursue their responsibility afterward because so many people died on their territory, and they had their own problems to deal with.
Some nobles looked at Aileen with surprise. How could she still notice these details?
"Sigh, if that’s the case, the two of us won’t be able to help much…" Sherry said with a slight frown, "We could call the knight team…"
"No way!" Peter firmly refused, "Master Celica said that only the two of us can investigate this time."
"The situation is different now; Master Celica is in danger!" Sherry argued.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
"Look in the sky!" a noble pointed upward.
One by one, people with gliders soared down from above, flying towards the distance.
It was easy to see that among them were two dark elves and one elf; they seemed to be prepared.
There were also several knights who fell down from the sky.
Wait, there is also a man in a black robe and a noble.
"It’s Saaya!" Aileen’s eyes lit up.
Karoso has come out as promised!
Buzz!
Karoso threw out a card, and the speed at which he and Saaya were falling suddenly slowed down.
Since the floating island is moving, the positions of the two and the others are a bit off.
"Let’s go take a look," Peter said quickly.
They must be able to learn some new news, since they came out at a different time than Aileen and the others.
"Wait!" Marquess Breteuil looked at the direction they were heading, and his expression changed slightly.
"What’s wrong?" Sherry stopped.
"Um, let’s send a signal to call them over. It’s not safe for everyone to move around now…" Marquess Breteuil found an excuse.
"Yeah, I don’t want to move at all."
"Hurry and call for help."
"We don’t need magic, we can use our numbers. The Pande Empire has many skilled knights."
"Then you all rest here, we will go." Sherry said casually.
"Wait, who will protect us!" Marquess Breteuil added.
Aileen squinted her eyes.
She felt that Breteuil seemed a bit nervous. Did he have some secrets over there?
Aileen felt a strong urge to go and see what was over there.
"Protect you?" Sherry paused for a moment, "Do we owe you something? Isn’t your faith in the Knight King? You are not followers of the Dawn. We saved you just because of our beliefs, and now that you are alive, you should take care of yourselves. You are not poor; you can leave us and live on your own."
"Uh…" The corner of Marquess Breteuil’s mouth twitched.
Every Pande noble must believe in the Knight King; they cannot follow any church.
To them, knightly spirit is the true faith.
"I will go see with you," Aileen said to Sherry.
"Okay," Sherry nodded.
As the few people walked away, Marquess Breteuil waved to his guard, "Quickly go to the church and inform Bishop Ricardo, something big is about to happen…"
……
It wasn’t long before Karoso and Saaya landed on the ground, and Sherry and the others had already arrived.
"How is it up there?" Peter grabbed Saaya.
"Cough, cough…" Saaya replied, "Today is really intense: There’s a fight going on up top, Bishop Celica and that guy are at a standstill. I asked my guards to help the princess and the others escape and see if we could call for backup, but that Jeff launched a crazy attack on me and my guards."
Right now, Saaya felt really frustrated. He was clearly being used by Karoso, and still had to defend him, otherwise he couldn’t explain himself.
He couldn’t offend the Corleone family, and yet he wasn’t getting any benefits at all.
"They have helped us a lot," Aileen chimed in.
"This doesn’t concern us, as long as Bishop Celica is okay for now…" Sherry sighed in relief.
Boom!
Just as they finished speaking, a loud explosion came from above.
Everyone quickly looked up, and the huge floating island had appeared.
The floating island was cone-shaped, with a round disk on top.
Minaret and Celica flew into the air; Celica’s sword gleamed fiercely, while Minaret moved like a ghost, and neither of them had the upper hand.
Looking at the island, Merlin’s sword was very similar to Celica’s; both were enhanced by magic, greatly increasing their speed and strength, and using their excellent sword skills to mimic the power of cards.
At this moment, both Jeff and Merlin had regained their magic, and their battle was completely one-sided.
Even without using the wizard and Pastor’s abilities, Merlin made it so difficult for Jeff that he could hardly get back up.
"Master Celica!" Sherry’s eyes lit up.
"I told you, Master Celica doesn’t need us to worry," Peter also sighed in relief.
"Let’s hurry up and help!" Sherry said as she tried to go up, "The magic circle seems to be destroyed!"
"Okay." Peter replied.
"Huh?" Aileen suddenly felt something was wrong.
"What’s wrong?" Karoso asked quickly.
[It’s about to start!]
[Watch out, Master Karoso.]
[As expected, it was Aileen who triggered it.]
Thump, thump, thump…
Aileen felt her heart pounding very hard, as if there was something terrifying underneath her feet.
Karoso and the others felt nothing and noticed nothing, only Aileen felt this way.
"There seems to be something down there!" Aileen pointed below, feeling a bit short of breath.
Sherry was about to fly up, but Peter grabbed her arm and said, "What is down there?"
"I don’t know, but it seems like… there is something I really dislike and fear…" Aileen’s fingers trembled slightly.
Her knightly heart was very strong, which showed that what was below was not simple.
"We can’t feel anything; what do you feel?" Sherry said impatiently, "Peter, do you want to help or not? If you won’t, I will!"
"Did you forget what Master Celica said?" Peter replied firmly, "Don’t forget our mission! Master Celica specifically asked us to check this place because it is more important! If you want to go up, go by yourself; I need to carry out the task given by Master Celica."
Normally, he would not care about the words of a sixth-tier knight.
But Aileen had a special lineage, with the blood of the Knight King flowing through her.
Besides, Celica said there was a problem here, and since he and Sherry couldn’t find it, it could mean they lacked the ability.
"You!" Sherry was very worried about Celica’s safety. Celica was a role model for all the female pastors, and Sherry was a typical little fan.
So, Sherry spoke and acted a bit like Celica, but she did not have Celica’s skills.
"Don’t you trust Master Celica’s power?" Peter urged again. "The magic circle has been broken, and Master Celica’s holy power and magic are available. Even a level nine opponent would not be a match!"
"If it were daytime, Master Celica’s opponent would already be dead."
Sherry fell silent for a moment.
Indeed, Master Celica was invincible. She would not get hurt!
She looked up again and saw that Celica was already fighting that enemy.
"Everyone move back a little," Peter said loudly.
Hearing this, everyone stepped back.
Swish!
Peter threw out two cards.
[Name: New Dawn Rookie]
[Category: Follower]
[Race: Human]
[Star Level: 1]
[Grade: Common White]
[Occupational Restriction: Knight]
[Introduction: What he can do depends on you. Please do not make your followers do strange things, especially the female knights. Please behave.]
[Name: Gigantification Technique]
[Category: Spell]
[Star Level: 8]
[Grade: Purple Epic]
[Occupational Restriction: Knight]
[Description: This allows a follower to become an eight-star follower, growing in size. Please do not use the partial Gigantification Technique card; that was an accidental discovery of mine.]
Buzz!
The newly appeared knight recruit, who stood about 1.7 meters tall, began to grow, reaching the height of a Mountain Giant!
The dawn recruit crouched down, his large hand digging forcefully into the ground.
Swish!
Countless soil, stones, flowers, and grass were pushed aside by him.
In less than a moment, he dug out a ten-meter-deep pit with his bare hands until he hit a place that couldn’t be dug any further.
Everyone looked down, and there was a large black stone.
"Seastone?" Peter’s eyes narrowed. "Keep digging!"
The new recruits from the Silver Hand kept going; this piece of Seastone looked huge, clearly made from countless pieces joined together.
They dug fifty meters wide and long, but still hadn’t found its edges.
"No need to continue," Peter took a deep breath. "This is a bold move, truly a bold move! No wonder our magic can’t go any further down, we can’t find anything because the Seastone blocked our magic!"
"Such a large piece of Seastone—how many people and resources would it take to get it out?"
"Under this Seastone, there might be a big secret…" Sherry swallowed hard.
Seastone can block magical power and control experts. It’s easy to imagine how valuable it really is.
This piece in front of us is worth as much as two Seastone mines combined.
"I’ll gather the people and use a simple method to open it." Peter said.
"I’ll go." Karoso spoke up, "It’s better for you to stay here. With something this big, there might be a big plot. If you leave, it could be a problem."
"Hmm." Peter, coming from the Blade of Dawn, understood the seriousness, "You need to find someone named Karoso. He is the brother of your master. Ask him to bring tools and people. No, wait… we don’t need people, let’s have the servants dig! He is at the church, so be careful when you look for him, don’t get caught."
"Okay." Karoso accepted the task of finding Karoso.
Saaya was speechless.
I’m still here, and you’re sending my servant to find my brother; isn’t that rude?
He really wanted to say that he would also go back now, back to the city.
But thinking about what might happen next, he didn’t know how many people would cause him trouble. It was safer to stay here for now; at least he had done a favor for the princess…
"I can also call for help," Aileen said.
"Don’t be silly," Karoso interrupted Aileen.
Aileen thought about those nobles and couldn’t help feeling a little wronged.
Does our country really not have a single trustworthy person?
