【Will determination...】
[The target "Neil Lucius" willpower is 20 points, your willpower is 132 points, the judgment is passed! 】
moment.
Chen Lun then stole into the young man's mind, his understanding of the world and his own growth experience——
The Black Horn Territory where Neil is located is actually located in the eastern part of the outer continent, on the west coast, in a country called the Kingdom of Maurice.
The Kingdom of Maurice belongs to the glorious empire, one of the nine empires.
Throughout the eastern region, there are two other empires, the Ripple Empire and the Mera Empire.
There were frequent conflicts and wars between these three empires.
In the final analysis, it is because of differences in beliefs.
This was an era of feudal dynasty where theocracy was supreme.
Faith often means everything.
Among the nine empires, including the Brilliant Empire, seven empires believe in the great god of fire "Brühling".
The Ripple Empire believed in the god of the deep sea "Abasye", while the god the Mela Empire believed in was a god of disease named "Epidimik".
Chen Lun was familiar with this.
‘Abbasye? Could it be Sebastian Pardo, the eternal sleeper? I have seen prayers about the Eternal Sleeper in "Mystery of the Deep Sea", and one of them includes the sentence "Lord of Abbasiya"... But how could the belief in the Seven Gods of the Sun Continent reach the outer continent? ’
His doubts were not about distance.
But the gap.
The gap between personality and strength.
Although it sounds a bit presumptuous, Chen Lun does believe that it may be difficult for the seven gods standing at the end of the sequence to compete for faith in places like the outer continent.
After all, this is the area hardest hit by the erosion of the old days and outer gods!
Take the so-called God of Fire and the God of Disease.
‘Most likely it’s the “Blue Holy Flame” and the “Lord of Disease”...’
Chen Lun's heart was bright.
The former can affect the two worlds of "reality" and "game", and must undoubtedly exist above the sequence. As for the Lord of Disease, he had heard of his name in the early stage of the public beta of version 1.0, but there were mostly no rumors in the mysterious field, which shows that it is Mystery.
Chen Lun secretly suspected that this was probably an old man too!
Therefore, relatively speaking, the Eternal Sleeper, as the Sequence Zero True God, is unlikely to be able to defeat them... As his "immediate boss", the old "Eternal Nightmare" of the Luo Annihilation Path is pretty much the same.
Of course, the beliefs of the nine empires are not all based on these three gods.
There are also some gods associated with it.
For example, among the gods worshiped by the Brilliant Empire, in addition to the flame god "Brufulin", there are also the candlestick goddess "Stic" and the Seven Rainbow Gods.
Chen Lun couldn't figure out the relationship between them for the time being, but it was true that as the Era Eternal Eternal "Nate Sofit" once said, in the outer continent, the mainstream belief is the Azure Holy Flame.
From the Glorious Empire to the Maurice Kingdom, one of the sixteen kingdoms, the most powerful person is not the royal family or official institutions.
But the “Redemption Church”!
In the Black Point Territory, there is a small Redemption Church.
The Jordan priest's status was equal to or even higher than that of Lord Miller.
‘There are probably extraordinary people in the Redemption Church, but unfortunately this little guy named Neil is too weak and is not qualified to have in-depth contact, and he doesn’t know the specific situation inside...’
Chen Lun secretly said.
‘Give him a boost. ’
The ability was used again, and a ten thousandth of the "Quantum Thinking Experience Card" acted on Neil. The guy suddenly became enlightened again and mastered the remaining swordsmanship moves that he had not yet mastered.
I saw that he moved skillfully, and the unopened iron sword left deep sword marks on the old tree.
Bah!
Neil crouched down and his leather boots made a sound as they scraped against the sand.
He grasped the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand, raised the sword flat, placed it lightly on his left arm, aimed at the old tree and exerted force suddenly, practicing the sword speaking like a snake.
Boom!
There was only a muffled sound, and the practice sword actually penetrated a quarter of the blade!
Neil looked ecstatic.
At this moment, Chen Lun only felt that his consciousness was a little blurry.
He knew in his heart that this was because he had just arrived and had to fall into a deep sleep after using his power one after another.
‘Well… let’s take a look when I wake up. ’
Chen Lun was quite helpless.
He had never been in such an embarrassing moment since he was promoted to a high position, and he felt very uncomfortable with his hands tied.

When Chen Lun woke up again.
He then sensed Neil's painful wails coming from the outside world.
"Master Fokker, I was wrong, please stop fighting!"
puff! Puff! !
The muffled sounds of fists, feet and sticks hitting the flesh came one after another.
Under the dim torch light, Chen Lun noticed that it was in the open space at the door of the kitchen. Behind seven or eight male servants, there were bundles of firewood placed against the corner.
Neil huddled on the ground and was beaten by these people.
Fokdut, wearing silk pajamas, was standing aside with his elbows folded and said viciously:
"I really didn't expect that my personal guard actually put his dirty hands into the kitchen... How dare you eat the big fish bought by two fire-marked silvers?! Beat me! Beat me hard!" < br>
After hearing Master Falk's order, the male servants beat Neil harder on the ground, even breaking two wooden sticks.
When everyone was panting and Neil was dying.
Falk smiled with satisfaction.
He directed the little maid during the day to go into the kitchen, and with difficulty brought in a bloody fish head the size of a pig's head, and threw it casually in front of Neil.
"If you like eating so much, I'll let you eat to your heart's content!"
Falk squatted in front of Neil and pinched the latter's face.
Neil's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, his eyes were narrowed in confusion, and blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Fogg picked up the fish head and stuffed the bloody fragment into Neil's mouth. During the latter's desperate struggle, it was stuck in Neil's mouth, bulging, and most of it was left outside.
The turbid fish blood, mixed with Neil's own blood, kept flowing.
Snap!
"Damn bastard, if you dare to steal my things again, I will chop off both of your hands!"
Falk slapped Neal again.
He stood up and left with the servants.
Neil couldn't help but spit out the fish head, roared in pain, and twitched all over.
Chen Lun stole this guy's thinking again.
I couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
Neil experienced two "epiphanies" in succession in the evening, which made him mistakenly believe that his adventure came from that bite of fish. In addition, even the old butler Rolf had never seen the so-called deep-sea fish, which made Neil even more convinced that he was speculation.
So in order to become stronger, he secretly came to the kitchen under the cover of night, intending to eat some fish secretly and strive to gain enough strength as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the fish was indeed not popular with the Dutt family heirs, so most of it was left in the pot, and Neil took a few bites.
But unfortunately, Master Fokke was a little hungry in the middle of the night, so he asked the maid to come over to get some food, and she caught Neil doing what he was doing, and that's when the subsequent beating incident occurred.
'Should I say he is determined, or should I say he is stupid...'
Chen Lun observed Neil's miserable appearance and couldn't help but sigh.
Another half hour passed.
Neil then regained some strength and climbed up with difficulty. It took him more than ten minutes to stumble back to his residence... A bungalow near the cesspit looked quite dilapidated, with only a piece of grass on the ground inside. mats and several wooden boxes.
He collapsed on the bed, gasping for air.
The blood dyed the clothes red, but he no longer had the strength to clean his body.
But this time, Neil didn't cry, he just had empty eyes and a look of despair.
"It's not a fish...it's not..."
His voice was like the wind passing through this dilapidated house, thin and weak.
The original "epiphany" in the evening gave Neil hope.
But now, this hope has disappeared like an illusory bubble.
Suddenly.
There was a faint voice in his ear.
"Neil Lucius..."
Neil was suddenly startled, and his sleepy eyelids were raised again. He turned his head and looked around, but it was dark and silent. The moonlight outside the window shone through the wooden window. It was clear that he was the only one in the empty and cramped room.
"Is it a hallucination?"
Neil rubbed his face and let out a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to go to sleep, he heard the voice again.
"Neil Lucius..."
This time, he heard it very clearly. It was a deep, magnetic man's voice. It did not ring in his ears, but appeared in his mind!
"Who?!"
Neil sat up suddenly.
The wound was pulled due to panic and excitement, and the pain made him gasp.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is that I can change your destiny, let you gain strength, take revenge on those you hate, and take back everything that belongs to you..."
Neil didn't answer.
He couldn't tell whether the voice was real or his own hallucination.
A long while passed.
He said tentatively:
"You...why do you want to help me?"
"It's a deal."
The voice sounded again.
"I give you strength and you do things for me."
"Deal? Power?"
Neil murmured, not knowing what he thought of, and his expression changed drastically.
"Are you evil... a devil?!"
"..."
Chen Lun was speechless for a moment.
He learned through Neil's thinking that in this era of supremacy of theocracy, the word "devil" appeared frequently in various religious texts.
For example, the missionaries of the Redemption Church often use "devil" to describe the enemy of God. Of course, this is just a general term, and there are many subdivisions... such as "devil". In fact, this only refers to pagans. Extraordinary ones.
But no matter which one it is, in people's understanding, demons are evil, despicable, and deceptive existences.
People naturally hate and fear "devils".
‘It seems that this kid mistook me for a “devil”, but it doesn’t matter, as long as the goal is achieved...’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
"Haha, devil? Call it whatever you want. Anyway, I only give you one chance. Are you willing to make a deal with me? If you refuse, then I will leave, and you will stay in this prison forever, suffering from the torture of your enemies. ...I believe there are still many people in this world who harbor hatred but desire power.”
Neil was suddenly anxious.
He was about to agree and grasp this desperate life-saving straw, but in the end his rationality made him ask cautiously:
"You...how will you help me? What do you want me to do?"
The words just fell.
Neil was shocked to see that the injuries on his body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, the pain was disappearing, and his vitality and health were returning.
"This is a little greeting."
A low and magnetic male voice chuckled.
"As for how to help you, I believe you have already experienced it... Of course, this is not all, I can also let you master more power, and even become an existence that even the Redemption Church is afraid of."
"What?!"
Neil was shocked.
"So in the evening, I, I suddenly understood those sword skills, was it you?"
He only heard the voice smile faintly.
In his heart, he had already made up his mind on this guess.
At the same time, Neil remembered what this mysterious being said, and couldn't help but feel excited, expectant, and slightly nervous, and his whole body started to tremble.
More power!
Become a being that the Redemption Church is afraid of? !
This...
This is incredible!
"Don't worry about what you are going to do. It won't cost you your life. What's more, what is your life worth?"
The male voice spoke calmly, and Neil even heard a hint of indifference.
He took a deep breath.
Yes...
What is my life worth?
Neil smiled wryly at himself.
At the same time, my heart became firmer.
This is the opportunity he has always dreamed of!
"I promise you, I am willing to trade with you!"
With that said, Neil bit his finger and let the blood flow out.
He raised his fingers and looked pious.
But after a while, nothing happened.
Neil couldn't help but look puzzled.
"Sir...Sir, are you still there?"
"I don't need to sign a so-called contract, young man."
Chen Lun resisted the urge to complain and said slowly.
Neil was overjoyed.
In his understanding, demons have to sign strict contracts, and even require humans to sacrifice their souls.
But this mysterious and powerful existence does not need it!
"What shall I call you, my lord?"
Neil asked tremblingly with a grateful look on his face.
"You can call me - 'Snake'." (End of Chapter)
