Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 264: Beating Hailong
The reward for winning first place is the most heart-warming divine seal tribute.

Lin Ran and his group soon headed for Greece. Their original plan was to hold a one-day ceremony at the Parthenon to elect the goddess. At that time, believers from all over the world would gather under the sacred mountain and receive praises from the new goddess. However, the election had not yet produced a reasonable result, and it was estimated that it would take quite a while for the goddess to be born, so their praises for the divine seal would be performed by the Temple Mother.

Lin Ran also missed Xinxia a little. It was a good opportunity for him to come to the Parthenon openly this time to see how she was doing.

Maybe it was because of Ander's matter that Xinxia felt a little uneasy. Of course, Lin Ran tried to comfort Xinxia, ​​but it didn't seem to have much effect.

Now, there are only three saints left. Among them, Panicia has the highest support, Asharuya has the most loyal supporters, and Xinxia is mediocre and is jokingly called a filler, but she seems to have a powerful backer.

Lin Ran had always been suspicious about this matter. He had asked Ander before, but Ander didn't know what was going on. Everyone knew that someone had nominated Xinxia to this position, so on the surface it was the Palace Mother's doing, but Lin Ran didn't think so.

……

After arriving at the Parthenon, they walked up the ladder of the sacred mountain. The government officials were led by Feng Li and Pang Lai to the Hall of Faith.

There is a constant stream of people coming to the Temple of Faith to pray every day. In order to gain health and longevity, many people are even willing to spend a fortune just to make a little contribution of faith and receive the blessing of the Temple of the Goddess.

The blessing of a trainee maid can ensure that a baby will not get sick or be infected by diseases for ten years. Of course, the people in the Temple of the Goddess cannot complete the blessing for everyone, so they will choose from the most devout believers and those who are willing to pay huge tributes.

A blessing of health can make believers ecstatic and even make wealthy people spend a fortune. The Divine Seal Praise is the most advanced magic in the blessing system, which cannot be measured by money.

Lin Ran felt that this was a way for the temple to make money.

"Why don't we wait until the goddess is chosen before performing the ceremony? We are not in a hurry. I have heard that the blessing of the goddess's divine seal and praise will be higher." Jiang Shaoxu asked with some confusion.

"Perhaps there are some problems with the election, and the results will not be out in a short time. It's not bad to have the Temple Mother come. She is the strongest person in the blessing department besides the goddess. Her divine seal and praise are very solid and skillful. She can probably increase your basic power to 1.4 times, and 1.5 times if it is stable." Pang Lai explained.

"This is my first time to visit the sacred mountain. There is a ban on flying in the Parthenon. If we climb the ladder step by step like this, it will take more than an hour, right?" Jiang Yu said.

"Well, that's about right. Although we are not believers of the temple, since we have received such a favor, we still have to show at least respect and sincerity. Let's walk slowly, and then we can also appreciate the charm of the sacred mountain, which is not bad." Pang Lai said.

The sacred mountain looks lush and green, and the fragrance of flowers fills the entire space. Once you go over the side of a mountain, you can see a large area of ​​flower trees all over the mountain. When the mountain breeze blows gently, the colorful petals will dance in the air. It is as beautiful as a painting and the fragrance is fragrant. It is completely a holy place on earth.

"What is that? It looks so beautiful!" Jiang Shaoxu suddenly saw a cliff with a hollow in the middle and couldn't help but shout.

The cliff is like a bridge, and this mountain leads to another light blue Xiangshan Mountain. Between the cliffs, there is a swing like a fairy tale house hanging there quietly. It is thrilling but like a fairyland, making people yearn for it.

"On top of this cliff is the bedroom of Saint Asharuya. That's the area of ​​the Goddess Palace. We probably can't go up there casually." Pang Lai replied.

Lin Ran looked up along the cliff, and sure enough, not far from the fairy-like swing house, he saw a white palace building exposed among a large area of ​​green tree canopies, which looked quiet and holy.

"Your little rich woman is really a hidden talent." Mo Fan said in a low voice.

Lin Ran said, "Don't talk nonsense."

……

The Ten Thousand People Ladder can only reach the Knight's Hall. No outsiders are allowed to enter above the Knight's Hall. The restrictions here are very strong. If you touch them even slightly, they will be reduced to ashes. Only by continuing along the mountain path named Galaxy can you officially enter the Goddess Mountain.

"If you come here late at night on September 7th, you will see that this mountain road leads straight to the night sky. There will also be a star road among the stars. Combined with this starry mountain road, this is one of the most magnificent and beautiful scenery in the world. It's a pity that not everyone can come here." Pang Lai looked at the ladder road that extended straight to the Goddess Mountain, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Lao Pang, if you don't come here often, how would you know about this?" At this time, Feng Li turned around and asked with a smile.

"I haven't been here for a long time, alas." Pang Lai looked at this starry mountain road, and a bit of bitterness appeared on his face.

"Why are there no guards here?" Mo Fan looked at it and said.

Pang Lai nodded. He was obviously familiar with everything in the Parthenon, so he explained: "This galaxy road is the only way to the Goddess Mountain. Other places are full of restrictions. Those who are not baptized will be killed by the restrictions. No matter how strong a person is, he cannot withstand the ancient restrictions of the Goddess Mountain. There is only this galaxy mountain road."

After saying that, Pang Lai pointed to a large white stone archway on the Xinghe Mountain Road, and then he pointed to a similar large white stone archway at the top, and then said, "If there is an intruder, then this Xinghe Mountain Road will be closed, and no one can leave. If someone reaches the Xinghe Mountain Road, then these two white stone gates will immediately activate the formation, and then the intruder will be trapped in this mountain road... Do you see the stone sculptures around? There are four mountain-guarding stone sculptures here. They can use the law of chaos to suppress the strength of the intruder to a high level, or even below the high level, and then subdue him."

"Suppress? What kind of mage will be suppressed?" Mo Fan couldn't help but ask.

"Except for the Forbidden Spell Mage, everyone else's strength will be suppressed. And the stronger you are, the more you will be suppressed." Pang Lai looked at the four mountain-guarding stone sculptures and then said, "These mountain-guarding stone sculptures will preserve the strength of the commander-in-chief in this suppression formation. Just think about it, a top-level super-class mage is suppressed to your strength in this formation, so once the four mountain-guarding stone sculptures appear, he will be easily subdued."

"Pang Lai, you seem to be quite clear about it. Could it be that you have been there before?" Feng Li said.

"Well, before, Yizhisha didn't want to see me, so I had no choice but to cross the mountains. Even though I had full cultivation of four elements, I was still suppressed to the level of a high-level person. As a result, I was seriously injured by the stone sculpture guarding the mountain. After that, I rested for more than three months, and my cultivation level also regressed." Pang Lai did not avoid suspicion and said very directly.

"Oh my god, Master, you, a super-level cultivator, can't even defeat these four statues?"

“Well, we were suppressed too much at that time, so no matter how strong a person is, it is difficult to reach the Goddess Peak.” Pang Lai said.

"Then why did Parthenon allow you to enter the mountain? They are so magnanimous." Feng Li couldn't help but laugh.

"I am crossing the mountain in an upright manner. The Parthenon has a rule that has been preserved from a long time ago. A long time ago, a soldier predicted that the Titans would launch a revenge, so he wanted to report to the goddess in person, but the Knights would not allow the soldier to see the goddess. Later, the Titans really came and caused heavy damage to the Parthenon. After that, a wise man opened up this Galaxy Mountain Road, allowing warriors to cross the mountain and meet the goddess. Those who successfully cross the mountain can see the goddess, of course, including anyone in the Goddess Peak. Many people don't know this ancient rule now. I heard it from Wen Tai before..." Pang Lai said.

"Tsk, you are really daring. You were very brave when you were young." Feng Li couldn't help but sigh.

“If one’s strength is already high, will he still be suppressed?” Mo Fan asked.

“If the strength is already high-level, then the suppression will be very small.” Pang Lai replied.

"Then it would be very easy for us to get through, especially since Lin Ran could punch through the entire road with one punch." Jiang Yu said with a smile.

Pang Lai glared at him, then said unhappily, "What's the point of being so aggressive? Although the super-class will be suppressed in strength, super-class magic can still be used, but the power is greatly reduced! At that time, I had fully cultivated four elements, four domains, a thought constellation, and a great spiritual realm. I also had an expensive set of magic tools. Except for Lin Ran, all of you combined may not be able to defeat me who was suppressed in strength. And I didn't even see the last stone sculpture guarding the mountain!"

After hearing what Pang Lai said, they were all stunned. Come to think of it, even if his strength was suppressed to a high level, Pang Lai was still a full-level magician. His understanding of magic, spiritual realm, magic tools, and domain were not comparable to what they had now.

“With your strength, you probably can’t even defeat the first statue, let alone break into the mountain. Do you know the consequences of failure? Do you understand? At the very least, your cultivation will regress, and at worst, the starry world will be completely shattered, and all your magic will be wasted!” Pang Lai snorted coldly.

"Uh... I was just talking casually. Hehehe, by the way, Lin Ran, can you get through it?" Jiang Yu looked at Lin Ran.

The others looked at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran stretched out his hand and covered his arm with green scales. He said, "How can you beat me with these things?"

Before, Lin Ran would hide this demonic ability, but when he found out that he was actually very powerful, he no longer bothered to hide it. After all, there were not many humans who could defeat him, and almost no one who could kill him.

……

Soon they entered the Goddess Peak, but the people from the Knights' Hall did not let Lin Ran and the others get close to the territory of the Goddess Hall. Only patrolling knights and members of the Goddess Hall could enter the Goddess Hall. Basically, no one else was allowed to enter. This disappointed the men in the team, as they all wanted to see the exquisite scenery of the hall and the swaying long skirts.

"This is Lord Hailong." Feng Kai spoke at this time.

At this time, Hailong was wearing a purple and gold helmet, which was very much in the style of ancient Greece. He stood majestically at the top of the stairs.

In the Knights' Hall Square, except for the knights on duty, basically everyone is already in place. They are arranged in a pyramid shape according to a strict job system.

At this time, Palace Master Hai Long was giving a speech and he ignored the Chinese government officials who came.

Knights are divided into several levels: Blue Star Knight, Silver Moon Knight, Gold Knight, and Purple Sky Knight.

Among them, Zi Yu is the exclusive one for the hall master. There is one grand hall master and three deputy hall masters in the Knight Hall. The rest are divided into Golden Knight, Silver Moon Knight and Blue Star Knight.

The palace master Hailong spoke in Greek, which the few people could not understand, so they could only wait slowly on the side. Hailong's momentum was amazing and his tone was heavy. Not only did the knights who were being lectured dare not sigh, even the few people waiting on the side did not dare to speak loudly, of course, with the exception of one person.

Mo Fan whispered, "You slept with their Saint, will they kill you?"

“Are you kidding? My power now reaches the emperor level. What does this mean? This means that I can defeat many forbidden spell mages. By the way, your demon system is really bad. It was almost the same as mine before.” Lin Ran said, and he deliberately let Hai Long hear it. This guy paused for a moment, but did not look back, probably because he was reminded not to conflict with Lin Ran.

“Damn it! If I reach the super level, we will be the same. I am just a low-level cultivator now, not a demon-type cultivator.” Mo Fan couldn’t help but say. He then looked at Pang Lai and said, “This Hailong should be the strongest on Mount Parthenon, right?”

"That should be it. The previous hall master was a forbidden spell mage, and he has retired now. Hailong is his successor, and he should also have the hope of reaching the forbidden spell level." Pang Lai said.

"Teacher, if you fight Hailong, who will win?" Jiang Yu couldn't help but ask at this time.

Pang Lai now represents a group of the strongest wizards in China, and so does Hai Long. Lin Ran also wants to know who is stronger and who is weaker.

"If we don't take into account the power of the Knights' Palace, I'll fight him 40-60, 40-60. If he uses the power of the Knights' Palace, then my chance of winning will be less than 10%. " Pang Lai said very calmly.

"Tsk... this guy is so powerful!" Jiang Yu said in amazement.

A few minutes later, Hai Long finished his lecture. He casually glanced at the people from the Huaguo government who had been standing nearby for some time. He looked at Lin Ran and found that Lin Ran had a condescending smile on his face, which made him feel unhappy. Even if it was a holy city, it was a temple.

"Sir Hailong, we are from the Chinese government. We are here to receive the blessing of the Temple Mother's Seal." Feng Li immediately stepped forward and said.

Hai Long didn't even look at Feng Li. His eyes fell on Pang Lai, and then he smiled contemptuously and said, "I didn't expect you to have the nerve to come here?"

"Why shouldn't I have the face to come here? I'm the chief instructor of the national government. The students I taught defeated your Egypt. Why should I be embarrassed to come here?" Pang Lai was also a smart man, and he immediately counterattacked without any hesitation.

Hailong snorted coldly at this time, and quickly lifted up his windbreaker inlaid with sparkling diamonds. He turned around and walked into the hall.

Lin Ran couldn't help it. He thought Hai Long was lecturing him so he didn't say anything. But now you bastards want to leave them here? What the hell are you pretending for? Can't you just take us there honestly?

Pang Lai was also very angry, but before he could say anything, he sensed a dangerous aura. It was Lin Ran!

Before he could react, Hai Long was grabbed by the neck by Lin Ran.

Lin Ran hasn't even used the power of an angel yet.

Hai Long didn't expect Lin Ran to be so reckless. This is a temple, how dare this guy do that.

Hai Long broke free from Lin Ran's grasp and prepared to fight back, but the next second Lin Ran grabbed his foot and slammed him to the ground very roughly, causing most of the ground to shatter in an instant.

Hailong felt like his internal organs were about to break.

In just a few breaths, Hailong had already fallen to his knees, and this guy was lying on the ground half dead.

At this time, the people from the Knights Hall also reacted and prepared to attack Lin Ran.

Lin Ran was naturally not afraid. His dark pupils gradually changed color and soon turned into golden pupils.

"Stop." At this time, Hailong climbed up.

Everyone looked at each other.

At this time, Lin Ran looked at Hai Long with his golden eyes. Hai Long felt a little cold because he saw eyes without any emotion, as if Lin Ran was an emotionless killing machine.

Everyone can just read the book, and the monthly ticket is not necessary, but I still want to thank the big guy for the 20 monthly tickets.
