s flicked lightly. The card seemed to come alive, drawing an arc through the air across the room before landing with precision on an ancient chest beside it. Unlike the other decorations in the room,...Chapter 243: Lan Qi was at least a seventh-rank powerhouse.

What guts do you have to talk to me like that

The silver-armored cleric frowned. He couldn't understand why this young man, who didn't seem to be a fighter, could speak to him with such authority.

But their disciples of Batian, besides strength, will not be convinced by any other illusory things.

Lan Qi's eyes were still as calm as ever, and an alien holy seal appeared in his palm. Although it was not quite the same shape as the one hanging on the chest of the silver-armored priest, it was clearly of the same style.

Most importantly, this holy seal is surrounded by a purple aura!

"The bishop's direct troops"

The Silver-armored Cleric exclaimed in surprise.

He recognized it at once, a purple rare quality [Rebirth Proof - Destruction], and a special encrypted type. People with such a holy seal are usually favorites of the bishops and entrusted with extremely important missions.

When each Cardinal takes office, the Cardinal's Seal transforms into a title and emblem befitting them. They also gain the power to create Resurrection Seals through the Cardinal's Seal. This is why there are now ten distinct forms of Holy Seal.

But regardless of their geographical location, for contemporary followers of the Rosicrucian teachings, familiarity with the emblems of the ten archbishops is essential.

"It is my humble duty to introduce myself. I am a missionary under the esteemed Grand Archdeacon Caine of the Imperial Southwest Province, branch of the Hegemon Church. I am currently fulfilling my sacred duties."

The Silver-armored Cleric bowed to Lance with the slightest of gestures.

But why would the direct subordinates of Bishop Destroyer appear here

He turned back, closed the bedroom door, and asked Lance.

"I have an important mission and need to visit the Cardinal of North Continent. Lord Francis can provide me with invaluable disguises and convenience, I hope you won't make things difficult for him."

Lanche said gently.

If Huberlian were here, she would kick this silver-armored paladin around like a football.

But Lance was never the kind of person who would strike out without thinking.

He prefers to win people over with virtue and illuminate them with the brilliance of humanity, hoping they will quiet their minds and work together to find solutions to conflicts.

..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Silverarm Paladin listened to Ranchi's words, silent for a while.

But there was no intention to agree.

"Your Grace seems to have mistaken something... While we are not overly difficult for the Cardinal's direct soldiers, we are under no obligation to obey clergymen from other branches. We only believe in the strong, not those of high rank."

After finishing, the silver armored priest turned his wrist, a hint of disdain clearly showing on his lips, as if to say, "That's just me giving you face earlier."

He has figured out the situation and doesn't intend to waste any more time.

I'm just a clerk, I have no authority to give them orders. Other branches of the clergy, they're not strangers to killing either.

Even his subordinates were so weak, he didn't bother with them.

After all, the Destroyer Bishop has come. The Hegemon Bishop wouldn't give him face either.

"So, in your eyes, I'm a weakling"

Lance saw the stance of the Silver Clad Priest and smiled, asking.

Sometimes there are indeed some unruly students who dare to challenge school rules.

However, he has always been an enlightened principal. When facing wayward students, he uses love to guide them and engages in positive spiritual communication with them, rather than resorting to harsh measures to judge students outright.

Without curiosity and a pure thirst for knowledge as motivation, students would be unable to produce those inventions and creations of immense value to humanity and society.

If you are so powerful, why bother talking to us and making sense of things when you could just clean us up Are you being merciful

The smell of gunpowder grew stronger.

The Silver-Clad Priest approached, his steps heavy with an oppressive weight, as if mocking Ranchi's paltry tricks.

Putting on airs is just a game of blowing bubbles.

It only needs to be inflated to a certain extent or it will burst with a light poke.

"...."

Lanche closed his eyes, perhaps giving up resistance.

It's also possible that the other person is so insignificant in his eyes that he doesn't even need to acknowledge them.

"The last student I failed to save was the Ruin Saintess. I don't want history to repeat itself."

When Lanci opened his eyes again, this time just slightly, the look in his eyes – filled with pity but also an unnerving calmness – sent a shiver down the silver-armored cleric's spine. He instinctively stopped in his tracks.

But it's not entirely because of that look.

...but his senses, it seemed, were malfunctioning.

A strong sense of unease pervaded him.

In an instant, he understood the problem—the space was creating an echo.

All sound in the room was cut off by a barrier conjured into existence.

At the same moment, the air in the room suddenly became extremely oppressive, almost solidifying. In the sound-proofed space, heart-wrenching and mournful cries echoed.

Countless ghosts, as if crossing over from another dimension, appeared, their forms overlapping and indistinguishable. Like a chorus, their voices echoed incessantly, heavy to the point that the Silver-Cuirassed Paladin's heart almost stopped beating.

The Silver-armored cleric clutched his ears as if struck by lightning, trembling violently under the weight of this psychic assault that pushed him beyond his limits.

"Is this what you want, force Will it bring you happiness"

Lanche's voice mingled with the wails, clashing together within the silver-armored cleric's skull.

"Ah ah ah!!"

The Silver Paladin's screams pierced the veil between reality and nightmare. The escalating wails in the room were like sharpened daggers relentlessly piercing his eardrums, slicing through his nerves, leaving him feeling torn apart, both physically and mentally.

This hold has become like the secret room of a ghost ship on a sea of black mist. It is no longer a physical ship, but a vessel laden with fear, despair, and death.

Even at this most terrifying moment, the young man with brown hair remained sitting by his bed. To him, it was all just noise passing by in the wind.

He remained motionless, his eyes still burning with an indescribable majesty.

"Spare me, sir! I was wrong!!!"

The silver-armored paladin knelt in agony near Lance, on the brink of collapse.

Compared to the mental torture he was enduring, it was the tsunami of fear welling up inside him that threatened to overwhelm him.

He now dared not imagine the other party's identity. Though he didn't recognize the epic-level spiritual magic technique used by the other party, he knew that the soundproof barrier sealing off the room was a seventh-rank spell!

Training... destruction of the Holy Maiden... Rank seven or higher... and there are also encrypted direct troops, Saint Seals, that only Cardinals can personally make.

What is this person's true identity He didn't dare to guess anymore!

Lan Qi silently dispelled the ever-increasing, reverberating sound of hellfire.

Phantasmal demonic wraiths, as if sensing his command, let out cries that gradually subsided, eventually submitting to his feet and dissipating into the unseen darkness.

At the same time, another magic card that had just been cast returned to Lance's hand.

That was a blue, rare quality magic card.

【Sound Barrier】

Category: Spell Card

Grade: Rare Blue

Class: 7

【Effect: Continuously consumes mana to use a barrier to block sounds within range, completely isolating it from the outside world.】

Note: Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know, I know.

Although finished magic cards of Rank 7 are expensive no matter what, functional blue cards of Rank 7 aren't that pricey. Ranch took advantage of his connections in the Heston Kingdom Cardmaker Association branch to get Cat Boss a special price on one.

Powerful rhythm magic users often use this card to amplify their rhythmic effects, and it's also a convenient everyday spell.

However, because of the high energy consumption, the cat master cannot expand a large barrier. Otherwise, all its little magic power would be used up at once.

After the soundproofing barrier in the room was deactivated, the sounds of the sea breeze and waves returned to this guestroom.

Everything seemed calm and peaceful, as if nothing had just happened.

The humming beside the Silver Clad Priest's ear slowly faded, but the tremor in his pupils remained unabated.
