Chapter 39: Someone from Tianli Church
When Linn returned to the manor, it was already evening.
At this time, the moon was high in the sky, and the last ray of the setting sun was barely visible.
However, the manor was brightly lit.
To be honest, to be able to build such a mansion in the most prosperous area of Orne City, the Augusta family is quite powerful in the local area.
After returning to the manor, he wanted to find a maid to take him in. Unexpectedly, Linn actually met Maurice.
“You’re back?”
For some reason, he was still a little cautious.
Lin nodded: "I want to see Her Royal Highness, can you lead the way?"
Hearing this, Morris hesitated.
But thinking about how much this guy valued in the heart of Her Royal Highness, I immediately agreed.
While leading the way, he said kindly: "Her Royal Highness was meeting guests just now. She seemed to be in a bad mood. If there is nothing urgent to report, I advise you not to get into trouble."
“Who did you meet?”
Lin En was a little curious.
Morris looked around, then lowered his voice and said: "It seems to be someone from the Tianli Church."
Tianli Church?
It is the church that the predecessor originally believed in, but in the end, the archbishop deprived him of the divine factors in his body and became an ordinary person.
As one of the three major churches in the empire, the Church of Heavenly Reason, alongside the Church of Silence and the Church of Abundance, has countless believers.
Even border cities like Orne City have their presence.
Lynn's eyes narrowed.
However, he pretended to be nonchalant on the surface: "I am going to report on my work, there should be no problem."
"Debriefing?" Morris glanced at the contract in his hand, showing a look of sympathy , "You must be very busy today. Isn't three days too short? I would like to ask His Highness to give you a few days of grace?"
" Then you can say a few good words when the time comes. With His Highness’s kindness towards you, there is a high probability that he will allow it.” I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are watching, and if you don’t handle it well, you will probably be roasted on the fire.”
Morris chattered.
Hearing this, Lin En shook his head: "You misunderstood. I have completely resolved this matter and am now preparing to report to His Highness."
Morris braked and stopped: " Solved?”
Lin En didn’t say anything, just dusted the stack of contracts in his hand and handed it over.
Under the light, Morris quickly flipped through the extraordinary contract in his hand, his mouth gradually opening wide.
"His Royal Highness is meeting guests now. Master Lin En, please go next door and wait for a while."
As expected, Lin En saw Kesha at the door of the study.
The elderly housekeeper bowed slightly and said calmly.
Lynn nodded and sat on the sofa in the lounge next door.
After the housekeeper made him a cup of hot tea, she left him alone here.
Seeing that there was no one around, Lin En opened the system and prepared to study the new abilities he had just drawn today.
Crown of Thorns.
Although the effect is that it can kill a thousand enemies and damage itself by eight hundred, the skill introduction does not say that there is an upper limit to the pain that can be stored.
As we all know, abilities with no upper limit are often extremely buggy.
So after thinking carefully, Linn decided to give it a try.
The condition for the activation of Crown of Thorns is that you must have at least 3 divine factors, which was not a problem for Linn in the past.
It's a pity that he doesn't have this condition now, he is just an ordinary person.
According to the setting in the novel, the divine factor is a reward given by the gods to their believers after each completion of the promotion trial set by the gods, which can greatly enhance their strength.
To put it simply, it is probably equivalent to a blue bar and ability bonus.
The quantity and quality of the divine grant factor determine the number of times you can use your ability and the effect it exerts.
The original person was a fourth-level transcendent at the time, possessing 136 divine factors, which was extremely powerful.
Not only that, but he also possesses a rare extraordinary ability - the gravity hammer.
This is an extremely destructive ability on the battlefield.
It is precisely because of this that the original person accumulated a lot of military merits in a short period of time and was promoted to the youngest captain rank in the empire.
Unfortunately, his painting style is a bit crooked now.
Not only does he not have any powerful attack skills, but the only two abilities he has are somewhat off-kilter, making him either a scammer or a masochist. I always feel that my fighting style is gradually changing from open and close to insidious and abnormal.
Lynn sighed.
He clicked on the divine factor field in the system interface.
After all, the system said before that he could spend points to ignite the divine factors.
This is undoubtedly the greatest good news for Linn, who has been deprived of his faith.
You must know that the biggest factor that restricts extraordinary people from becoming stronger is the quantity and quality of divine factors.
The divine factors from the fourth-level transcendent of Tianli Church are undoubtedly extremely rare and powerful.
That’s why his fiancée Irina transplanted the divine factor in his body and was eventually promoted to a legendary powerhouse.
【Do you want to spend 10 system points to ignite a divine factor? 】
“Yes.”
Lynn confirmed without hesitation.
I earned so many points in one afternoon just for this moment.
His escape plan can finally begin preparations.
When everyone thought he had become an ordinary person, he was accumulating strength in the dark. It was not very satisfying.
But it’s really expensive. One divine factor actually costs 10 points.
Linn thought silently.
Unexpectedly, he received a prompt from the system the next second.
[Failed to ignite, please activate the faith first. 】
It actually failed?
Lin looked at the small words in a daze.
Then he remembered something.
[Name: Linn]
[Race: Human]
[Age: 17]
[Faith: None]
[Rank: None]
[Extraordinary abilities: Liar Eater·First Level/Crown of Thorns·Second Level]
[Divine Grant Factor: 0]
[Remaining System Points: 43】
The predecessor was kicked out of the Tianli Church, so at this moment, the faith column shows None.
However, the divinely-given factor was born based on the gods. It was impossible for the system to create a source of power out of thin air, so Lin En could not successfully ignite the divinely-given factor.
It seems that I have to choose a new belief.
But here comes the problem.
After my predecessor lost his faith, he was branded as a God-forsaken by the Tianli Church, and was registered with major churches.
Under such circumstances, no one will accept his conversion.
Unless they are cult beliefs or little-known small churches.
But these beliefs are too weak, and some are not even gods. They are just slightly stronger extraordinary beings stealing the power of belief.
As mentioned before, the divine factors given by different gods have different attributes and strengths.
For example, if the extraordinary beings of the three major mainstream churches have the same number of divine factors, they will definitely be much stronger than the extraordinary beings of other faiths.
This is mainly reflected in attack power, combat endurance, etc., and will have a profound impact on the future.
Although Lin En has a system that can extract abilities at will, he does not want to be weaker than others in terms of divine factors.
For him, it’s either do nothing or do your best.
For a while, Lin En fell into deep thought.
He began to recall the plot of the original work and wanted to see if he could find any clues.
Think about it carefully, who is the strongest belief and god in the original work?
As soon as this idea was born, a cold female figure suddenly appeared in Lin En's mind.
It seems to be that woman.
Wairui, this is an endless cycle.
