Chapter 65 What is called a Hundred Battles (Request for Catch-up Reading)
On the base of the huge bronze sculpture, there were indeed some symbols that seemed like words.

These symbols, however, were very different from human writing. Wright glanced at them, but didn’t have a clue.

Wright wasn’t worried that a thousand-year-old armor could pose a threat to him, he had too many cards in his hand, and he had all the backing he needed.

But what he was afraid of was whether the armor would have an impact on the entire system of the Holy Light Church.

Although it was unlikely, but in case this technology was really effective and could be reproduced, and then fall into the hands of someone who had the intention to do so.

Then the existing world order would be challenged, and the original peaceful days would be consumed by the flames of war in the blink of an eye.

It was still better to check it out and feel more at ease.

“Oi! That eagle over there, come over here.”

“Coming sir! My name is Idros, sir.”

“These, recognize?”

Idros half-kneeled and looked at them, “Seems to be an ancient dwarven style, a bit old.

The writing on the front should be …… This armor was forged by Ironbeard, the Grand Master of the Forge, and Balzac, the Lava Dragon, and possesses the power to forbid light!
Only the president of the Temple Council is qualified to harness it.

The words on the back are rusty and hard to read.

But I can sort it out, just give me thirty days to access the information ……”

“Three days.”

“Twenty days then ……! No less!”

“Two days.”

“Why I’m losing you too! Then I want fifty days!”

“One day.”

“How come I go up and you don’t?”

Idros, seeing that Wright was about to open his mouth again, hastened to agree.

“Fine fine! One day is one day! But I want manpower! And I want free access to the Great Library of Holy Light!”

“Manpower is manageable, not the Great Library of Holy Light. I’ll send some clerics to follow you, and let them fetch whatever they want.”

The Great Library of Holy Light was now the Pope’s office, and Wright wasn’t comfortable with any outsiders just going in.

Wright squeezed Idros’s shoulder, “The point of accessing the drill is whether or not the technology used to forge this armor is generalizable.

To put it bluntly, it is whether it can be imitated on a large scale.

You have to understand that this matter is related to the stability and peace of the entire world.

You have chanted so many heroic legends, but this time, you also have the chance to become the object to be sung by others.”

Listening to this, Idros nodded repeatedly, “Don’t worry sir! I will!”

Wright conjured a holy raven with holy light, whispered a few words in its ear and released it.

The holy raven left the Sanctuary Congregation Hall along the side door at the end of the tunnel, and in a short while it arrived with a group of clerics.

Not only were there red-clothed congregations and black-clothed congregations among these people, even the white-clothed congregations with the biggest racks came with several of them, and there was also a small group of holy new troops.

“You guys follow this Idros and assist him in completing the translation of the inscriptions on this sculpture. Report any progress to me as soon as possible.”

“Aye! Your Highness!”

Wright patted Idros on the shoulder, “You’re the leader of these people now! I’m optimistic about you! Do well, you’re the star of tomorrow!”

A bit exhilarated by this tube of chicken blood, Idlos turned his head and plunged into the translation of the inscription.

Wright, on the other hand, gave a wink to Grundy, and the two of them silently left the Chamber of Deputies, looking for a hidden corner.

“Boss ……”

“Get someone to look into this Idros and see if the bottom is dry.”

“Yes!”

“Mobilize all your connections and prepare to re-run the Sanctuary President election.”

Wright glanced back at the darkened Yongdao, “Since it’s only the Sanctuary President who can wear it, it’s a kettle of fish. She’s just a vice-president, temporarily acting as president.

Once the new president has stepped into office, she will naturally have no more fun.”

“But boss, that armor has already been taken away from her. Even if a new president is elected, what if she doesn’t return it?”

Wright waved his hand, “You don’t understand, according to my projection, this armor should be a set of Oath Blessing Weapons.

The oath, is the source of its power.

The harsher the conditions of the oath and the longer the time spent together, the greater the power of the blessed weapon. Exactly what oaths it accomplished and what the conditions for reaching them were, one would have to wait for that bard’s translation.

But one of the conditions was already clear: the user had to be the Temple President.

Just such a difficult oath condition alone, coupled with a thousand years of abiding together. This power is already not to be underestimated.”

Grundy nodded with seeming understanding, but then slammed his thigh.

“Boss, that Vanessa already initiated an emergency meeting yesterday.

According to the Temple’s rules, I’m afraid we’ll have to wait another week if we want to initiate an emergency meeting to reelect.”

Wright waved his hand, “Rules are dead, people are alive. Can a living person still let his urine suffocate him?
You go ahead and enlist the councilors and get the people done.

Don’t force the ones you can’t negotiate with, write down the list and give it to the trial court.

These guys were robbed of their old jobs, and now their jobs are halted because of Vanessa.

Okay! Let’s get them some bulk work then!”

Grundy shuddered at the sound of that, as far as the gang of Temple Councillors were concerned, there would be no wrongdoing if every two of them were hanged at random.

This would be an old crime if they were all thrown into the hands of the black-clad congregation of the court of judgment who were idle to the point of sadness.

After a round of talks, it was estimated that there wouldn’t be a single opposing councilor.

In the true sense of the word, there are no more.

After a couple more instructions with Gramps, Wright returned to the front street of the Temple House.

The show was basically nearing its end at this point, and Wright found the trio who were having a good time strolling around and accompanied them for a while before getting on the carriage to go home.

However, as soon as they got home, Emily started to resist taking off her coat.

“Stop! Stop it!”

Wright shouted in a hurry to stop and grabbed Emily’s wrist at the first opportunity.

“Good lord, you’re quick with your hands! Half a sentence and you’ve unbuckled three!”

“What for! I’ve gone home! Why not?”

“This is my home! Wake up! You’re a guest! Okay!”

Wright wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, “Besides, you’ve been wearing such cool clothes in your house all day! In case the others see it! What about my reputation? What about my reputation?”

“Your Highness Wright, why worry about something that isn’t there?”

“…… All in all, haven’t you already lasted 100 seconds? Let’s, then, begin to move on to the next stage.

It just so happens that you don’t want to feel the elements with your body, so this technique just satisfies you! And it doesn’t delay you from getting dressed.

Watch this!”

After Wright let go of Emily’s wrist, he began to gather light elements. In just one breath’s time, his body was glowing with fluorescence.

“You’re doing this! Filling your entire body with light elements!”

Wright nodded slightly, “Yes! In my opinion, there is a realm division in the manipulation of magic by elemental magicians.

The first realm, is called [Super Sense], which is the state you have reached now.

You can clearly perceive the magic elements, and your manipulation of elemental magic will be greatly improved.

However, because your perception becomes sharper, you will become more eager to intermingle with its magical elements.

This also means that you are moving towards the second stage, the realm I am showing now.

The second realm is called [Overload]. It can also be called fullness, or limit.

And your training task is to find a way to reach the overloaded state and hold on for a hundred seconds.”

Emily cried out, “Huh? Another hundred seconds! Are you obsessed with that time?”

Wright’s old face darkened, “Be careful what you say, little girl! Otherwise I’ll show you what it means to have a hundred seconds!”

Lilith bristled, “What’s the point of bullying someone’s little girl? When I unseal the seal, I’ll let you know what it means to be routed!”

“I think you want to learn what it means to kill you while you’re sick!”

“Then I’ll let you know what it means for a skinny camel to be bigger than a horse!”

“A camel dying skinny is still two camels! Peaks!”

“I’ll bite you to death!”
