Chapter 158: Geralt's Faith
The Apostle of Desire's upgrade method is more special, and he can only improve his strength by collecting elements from others.
These elements are equivalent to experience points.
More specific details still need to be explored by Xu Nan himself, and in this regard, the Pink Book is relatively poorly understood, after all, it is only an advanced carrier of this profession.
Essentially, it's more of a rascal's favorite spell book.
Xu Nan hadn't considered whether there would be any chemistry between the Apostle of Desire and the Ron Warlock beforeβin his opinion, it was already thankful that these alien professions with distinct personalities could not be compatible with conflict.
However, when he saw the little boy's face gradually become numb and surprised, and a steady stream of shame elements poured into his spirit, he suddenly realized one thing-
The profession of Apostle of Desire is a perfect match for Ron Warlock!
γYou have gained Shame Element*20......γ
At the same time, the number of shameful events required to level up Ron Warlock suddenly faded from 16 to 15 when it reappeared!
This means that collecting the shame elements of other people can also satisfy the shame of Ron's own needs!
"Is it finally possible to stop doing something shameful?"
"Can I finally get wool from someone else instead of me doing it myself!?"
"Finally...... Don't worry about the day when you can't bear this excessive bloodline and completely collapse? β
Xu Nan couldn't help but burst into tears.
Before, he was still discussing with Romans how to break through the upper limit of shame and level up quickly; Romans' stand-in boy is certainly a method, but it is also an indisputable fact that the cost is high and the efficiency is low. It is precisely because of this that Xu Nan will continue to advance to other professions, and the Apocalypse Warlock and the Apostle of Desire are another way for him to improve his strength.
Bloodline or something, it can only depend on fate.
That being said, there is no warlock who doesn't aspire to fully develop his own powerful bloodline!
This power is attached to one's own body.
Xu Nan can feel it every day and every night.
The terrifying power of Ron Warlock, if it can really be fully channeled, may not even be able to accommodate the vast galaxy.
Ron, who is definitely a very scary man; Ron Warlock, I'm afraid it's not such a simple bloodline inheritance, but an alien profession under the guise of bloodline inheritance. It just looked like an ordinary warlock, but in fact, Xu Nan had already learned from Luo Mang's hints that this profession had unimaginable potential.
Normal warlocks are difficult to legend, but Ron Warlocks, the legendary powerhouses in history, grab a lot of them; If it weren't for the peculiarities of the bloodline, the number of legends in Paradise Lost would have increased at least tenfold now.
It's nonsense to say that you don't want to quickly increase the level of your basic class.
Xu Nan wanted to quickly brush the level of Ron Warlock to level 20 more than anyone else!
It's a pity that the previous difficulties continue to pull him forward, and he has never been able to give up all the discipline, desperate for strength. Xu Nan once thought that his own career would always be so mediocre.
Until today, things have taken a turn for the better.
The little boy no longer produces the element of shame, but Xu Nan's eyes looking at him are becoming more and more kind.
He left the inn impatiently, carefully opened the invisibility orb, and shuttled through the city.
He's looking for some shameful event.
Although there are certainly not too many moments of shame for everyone, there are always some to find in such a big city, right?
After a night of sneaking, Xu Nan really gained something.
In the middle of the night, he met a middle-aged man who was eating in a restaurant but had his wallet stolen by someone else, he looked very embarrassed, and everyone around him was laughing at him; This guy seems to be a foreign businessman with a head and a face, and he has rarely experienced this kind of scene, and his face is about to drip when he discusses it with his boss.
Xu Nan harvested from him the shame element that was almost equivalent to a shameful incident.
And then there was a teenager who was kicked out of his house for unknown reasons.
He looked very stubborn, he left alone with a cloak, he looked very angry, his cheeks were red, if it wasn't for the opening of the super spirit vision, Xu Nan would not have realized that his biggest mood at this time was shame.
He was full of shame.
Xu Nan didn't ask about his story, but happily waved his scythe.
is another large amount of shame elements, and this teenager provided Xu Nan with elements equivalent to two shame incidents!
He ran non-stop to the next target.
After a busy night, I gained a lot.
Xu Nan is equivalent to not doing anything, but he has gained the elements of seven or eight shameful events!
There are only seven shameful events left before the next level of Ron Warlock.
"One shame incident is equivalent to almost 60 shame elements."
"Tweak the visualization plug-in and convert it to the shame factor."
He silently calculated, and used his councilor-level privileges to fine-tune the visualization plug-in.
γRon Warlock LV9γ
[Upgrade Condition: Shame Element*420]
In this way, it is much clearer, and it also gives Xu Nan more motivation to collect more shame elements.
It's a pity that in the middle of the night, everyone gradually fell asleep, and Xu Nan accidentally glimpsed some blushing and heart-pounding events, but because the parties were accustomed to it and did not feel ashamed, they got nothing.
He also calmed down.
The ascension of the rank is not in a hurry.
This time I came to Snow Plains City mainly to complete the task of the Frost Winter Treasure, and to be able to explore Ron's tomb is the most important thing for Ron Warlock.
On the way back, he began to examine himself:
"It's not very good to go door-to-door to collect shame elements like this, which is not only inefficient, but also a bit of an invasion of other people's privacy......"
"Why don't I take the initiative to create something that makes a lot of people feel ashamed and embarrassed?"
"And then reap happily! It's much more efficient that way! β
A bold thought popped into his mind.
He couldn't hold back a smile when he returned to the hotel.
Fortunately, most of the people had already fallen asleep, so no one noticed Xu Nan's gaffe.
β¦β¦
In the early morning of the next day, Xu Nan was woken up by a knock on the door in a daze.
What is somewhat surprising is that the person who knocked on the door was not Quelas or Qin Lele, but Geralt, who had been sleeping for a long time.
"Lord of the Castle! Sure enough, you're here. β
Geralt looked a little weak and a little nervous, and after confirming Xu Nan's identity, he was a little relieved.
Xu Nan nodded and welcomed him in.
"Are you better? Are you feeling unwell? β
He poured Geralt a cup of tea, but his mind began to work on clues about Quelas and Geralt.
If the green light was really coming for Geralt, this old boy would definitely not be able to run, although he had Qin Lele's internal response, but how could this matter be a coincidence.
The purpose of Blood Orange is to let Qin Lele follow Geralt, could it be that this guy is the biggest protagonist of this Frost Winter Treasure opening?
He carefully looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.
A mediocre face and figure, a kind smile and a somewhat cramped demeanor...... No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a powerful person, or a guy with potential!
It seemed that Xu Nan was a little hairy, Geralt took a sip of water, and didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately asked in a low voice:
"Lord of the City, I have something I want to ask you."
"You can ask, but there are some things I can't say."
Xu Nan replied quickly.
In Geralt's case, he had promised Quelas to keep it a secret for him, and to try to keep the old boy's life safe. He knew that Geralt was not stupid, and after sleeping for so many days, he probably already had a guess in his heart.
So he went straight to the vaccination.
Geralt smiled wryly, "I just want to know, where will I be taken?" What's next? β
"Teacher, he told me that I was targeted by a terrible person and that I had to follow him at all times, but my strength was just a burden to him."
"I saw you in the square that day, and at first I thought I was dazzled, but I didn't expect you to know my teacher......"
He babbled on a bunch of unfocused things, and probably fell asleep and wanted to find someone to complain about.
Xu Nan listened silently, answering some questions about Geralt as carefully as possible.
After half an hour, Geralt saw that he couldn't get an answer from Xu Nan, and was a little frustrated and ready to go back to his room to rest.
"Wait." Xu Nan suddenly called out to him.
He handed Geralt a copy of the Blue Core Doctrine into Geralt's hand, "Don't be upset yet, I just want to hear what you think of these people." β
Geralt nodded, and he took the doctrine and looked at it a few times, anger on his face.
However, his cultivation was very good, and he finally restrained himself and read silently.
During the whole process, his eyelids jumped violently, and the sleepiness just now was also swept away, obviously extremely angry.
"This is something that the Blue Cult people have come up with?"
Geralt's tone was a little sharp.
"Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! β
"How could the goddess be the sister of the frost giant? How could she claim to be the heir to the Frost Giant? Is the brain in the church headquarters flooded? Can this doctrine also be widely disseminated? Do they want to be heretics? β
Xu Nan slowly withdrew the doctrine:
"It's not a want, it's becoming."
Geralt was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous.
Xu Nan patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to relax: "Forgive me, although I don't quite agree with the statement of the Blue Coat Sect, but the interesting thing is that the church itself does not object, which means that the goddess acquiesces to this statement......"
Geralt stood up suddenly, as if he wanted to refute, but was persuaded by Xu Nan's eyes.
This guy is really gentle enough.
Xu Nan thought to himself, and he said:
"Moreover, what you know is instilled in you by the church, or rather, taught by your teachers; What the young people on the street know is what their teachers teach them, how do you know that your perception is correct and theirs is wrong? β
Geralt opened his mouth, as if he didn't know how to refute.
After a while, he asked:
"Mr. Xu Nan, I know that I am dull, and if I don't understand something, I may not be able to understand it."
"What exactly are you trying to ask me?"
Xu Nan smiled gently: "I just want to make a joke, don't be angry." This joke may be a bit excessive......"
"What if one day you found out that the Ice Goddess is not what you thought she was?"
Will the three views collapse? Will faith collapse? Will you kill yourself directly?
If you are a devout believer, the above three situations are the most common.
Every time a god falls, it is accompanied by a large number of sorcerers and priests who commit suicide. This is the potential cost they pay from the day they get the Convenience Divine Technique.
Who knew that Geralt's answer was a little unexpected by Xu Nan.
He didn't think much about it, but looked at Xu Nan's eyes seriously, very sincere:
"I don't think that's an exaggeration."
"The goddess cannot be what everyone imagines, and in fact, how can a mortal as ignorant as me imagine the greatness and glory of the goddess?"
"The goddess has an appearance in everyone's heart, if the goddess in everyone's heart wants to come true, then whose extravagance and wishes should the goddess in reality be satisfied?"
"So, the goddess is certainly not what mortals think."
"But that doesn't stop us from believing in her devoutly."
What an unexpected answer.
Geralt, who doesn't seem to be clever, can actually answer such words that are faintly full of great wisdom.
"Since the goddess may not be as you think, then she may not be as great and wise as you think, she may be an angry woman, she may be jealous, she may be vicious......"
Xu Nan said these words, if he were replaced by another disciple, it was estimated that he would have to fight with him.
But against Geralt, he can go on because he wants to test more from Geralt:
"In that case, why do you still believe in goddesses?"
Geralt was silent for a moment, then shook his head slowly.
"What you say is only possible, unverifiable, unfalsifiable, and in this case, thinking becomes superfluous."
"I believe in goddesses because I have been in contact with them since I was a child, because of the teachings of teachers; Growing up, I thought about my beliefs, I practiced my beliefs, and I found that these were all good, at least in me, and the faith of the goddess was valid. β
"I'm happy to help others, I believe in the Goddess, I'm also happy, in my world, there is no negative impact on the faith of the Goddess, so what's wrong with having a firm faith?"
"I'm just a very ordinary mortal who can't see the truth of the universe, and I don't have the talent and talent to explore infinite possibilities like Lord Castle. I believe in the Goddess because it's a good thing to do it, and I believe it will be in the future. If something was different, I might have reconsidered......"
His words were sincere.
Although it is full of limitations, it is extremely suitable for himself.
Xu Nan pondered for a long time and nodded: "Thank you." β
"Not necessarily." Geralt smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I don't know if what I said is correct, but with my wisdom, I can't see anything wrong for the time being." β
"Farewell."
With that, he pushed open the door and walked down the hallway to return to his room.
At this moment, a bunch of people suddenly screamed in the hall downstairs:
"Something is wrong!"
"The old king is assassinated!"
"All localities have made their positions clear, and this morning our lord of Snow City publicly declared his independence and claimed to support ......"
