Chapter 94

While Ang was researching Life Essence, he received Silver Coin's emergency call. Then he took Negris to the side of the Reincarnation Altar and started the teleportation array. Anthony's depressed voice came from the other side: "God of Knowledge, this time no matter what, you must pull me, lend me the Reincarnation Altar to use."

"What happened? What do you need the Reincarnation Altar for?" Negris asked in confusion. What kind of thing needed the Reincarnation Altar? And could make a former Black Knight Emperor, now a Cardinal, so depressed?

"Sigh, it's a long story. It was my carelessness. I was ambushed and attacked. Now only the Holy Substitute is left. But the Holy Substitute can only last for twenty-four hours. I must find a way to reincarnate myself into a Black Knight or a living person, otherwise, I will dissipate. So please, God of Knowledge, lend me the Reincarnation Altar to use." Anthony sighed and said.

"Then go reincarnate. Why use the Reincarnation Altar? Don't tell me that after operating on the main material plane for so many years, you don't even have a place for reincarnation? Haven't you reincarnated many times before?" Negris asked in confusion.

Anthony sighed: "That's why I said I was careless. All my secret strongholds and safe houses were dug out. The equipment and materials for reincarnation were too late to prepare. I can only reincarnate into a Black Knight first, and then find a way to reincarnate into a living person."

"All dug out? Is there a traitor?" Negris was surprised.

"Sigh, maybe not a traitor. It was my carelessness. I have used these strongholds and secret rooms for one or two hundred years. To save trouble, I never moved them, so they were figured out. Sigh, there were too many of them: two Sword Saints, six Arcane Mages, one Magic Breaker, one Boundary Breaker, all aimed at me. If my close-combat ability hadn't been okay, just that one Gao Jie Sword Saint's ambush could have cost me my life."

Negris's heart trembled violently. Magic Breaker and Boundary Breaker? Such rare professions could be sent to assassinate Anthony? Who exactly did he provoke?

"Sigh, who else could it be? Nikolai from the human Western diocese. He has always regarded me as the biggest competitor for the Pope position. I know who that Gao Jie Sword Saint is, a famous human powerhouse. But I punched his head to pieces with one Holy Fist. Unless he can also reincarnate, Nikolai will have one less Gao Jie Sword Saint to use."

"And then?" Negris asked. He said he was famous, but he hadn't said what his name was for half a day.

"Then the other assassins surrounded me. The Magic Breaker broke my defense, the Boundary Breaker broke my barrier, the six Arcane Mages restricted my movement, and then the second Sword Saint took a sword and stabbed me. No way, I had to activate the Holy Protection Technique and teleport away."

"And then?" Negris asked: "Could it be that they also have powerhouses who can break the Holy Protection Technique?"

"Also have? Sigh..." Anthony let out a long sigh. From the beginning of the conversation, it was impossible to count how many times he had sighed. Clearly, he was deeply hit: "No, I teleported away, teleported back to the stronghold. But they buried Gnomish bombs under the teleportation array in the secret room, blowing me and the house into the sky."

"Pfft, impossible. You would make such a low-level mistake? No one protecting your place? Could be casually buried with bombs? What about Polke and the others?" Negris couldn't believe it. Such an important place had no one guarding it? What about those two Black Knights?

"Sigh... you erased a bit of memory when you let him back, right?" Anthony asked.

"Right." Negris said righteously. Prisoners released must have their memories erased, otherwise, if secrets were leaked, what to do?

"Sigh, I also erased a bit, so they didn't stay where they should have stayed, so..."

"..." Negris didn't know what to say. It was really a series of coincidences, unlucky to the extreme. If it weren't for a series of coincidences, with Anthony's strength and layout, even if assassinated, he could have safely escaped.

However, the enemy didn't get any advantage either. The Gao Jie Sword Saint was punched to pieces by his Saint Word Technique · Invincible, plus Holy Battle Aura not inferior to a Gao Jie Sword Saint.

"Didn't you have other backups? Like extra strongholds or something?" Negris asked.

"Of course I have, but the materials for reincarnating into a living person need to be prepared in advance. I only have twenty-four hours left, uh, twenty hours left, too late. Fresh corpses are easy to solve, but elf Life Essence is very hard to get. I'll reincarnate into a Black Knight first, and then find a way." Anthony said depressedly.

Life Essence? Such a coincidence? Negris looked back and saw Ang pouring Life Essence onto his hand.

"Then how did you find Silver Coin? Why is he so cooperative with you?" Negris asked.

Anthony loosened his hand on Silver Coin's neck and smiled: "I had a friendly and cordial conversation with him, so he cooperated with me. I have to say, Silver Coin is still too young. Since he left Green Leaf City, at least six forces have been watching him. If I hadn't erased the information about these people and him, he might have been caught by now."

"Ah? There's such a thing? Then he's really too young. Only ninety-something years old, too young. But Ang can protect his soul, so let them catch him. Anyway, they can't ask anything out." Negris said indifferently.

"Yes, yes, haha, too young." Anthony completely let go of his hand on Silver Coin's neck and laughed.

After discussing with Ang, Negris turned and asked: "If you reincarnate back into a human, besides Life Essence, what other materials do you need?"

Negris believed Anthony's words. Having him in the Church of Light indeed hid many things for the Abyss of Rest. Otherwise, for more than a thousand years, this former World Transit Station had almost no one coming. Those who came didn't know its former glory and only thought it was a barren abyss plane.

So having a Cardinal covering it was still quite beneficial.

"Mainly Life Essence, and a fresh body. Other materials are easy to get, but where to find Life Essence now?" Anthony said.

"Uh, this Life Essence, I happen to have some here," Negris said.

"Really? You have such hard-to-get things too? Could it be exchanged with World Tree saplings? Then I'll go find a fresh corpse." Anthony immediately became spirited.

Reincarnating back into a Black Knight was meaningless. He had been a Black Knight Emperor for so many years, lazy all day and not wanting to do anything. How could it be as fun as being a living person, playing with others every day?

"Uh, what's the point of casually finding a corpse? If you reincarnate, reincarnate back into your original body and continue to be your Archbishop Anthony."

"No way, my body was blown to pieces."

Negris glanced at Ang, who was dripping Life Essence onto the little tree sapling, and asked with a smile: "Do you have any relics with your blood or flesh on them? If you have, let's try to see if we can create your original body."

"???" Several question marks rose in Anthony's heart. Then he looked down at the bishop's badge on his hand stained with blood. On the badge, a symbol was slowly flickering.
