Chapter 15: Little Fist Hammers Your Chest (Ask for Follow-up)

Count George is panicking now, this is naturally not because the Iron Brotherhood will haunt his territory, after all, it is just a small and inappropriate organization.

Although he was fierce, he was not so brainless as to attack the nobles of the empire, but the girl in front of him was able to make his entire family decline with a single sentence.

This is the power of the Church of Light in the Empire today.

"Thank you Lord Saintess for your help, and I will definitely strengthen the garrison around Black Mountain Town in the future, so that those young people will not disturb Lord Saintess."

Count George was respectful, but in his heart he had already begun to complain, what did the holy woman of the Papal Palace do outside.

"Then the security here will be bothered by Earl George."

Lilith also understood that the earl in front of her was not as respectful as it seemed, as long as the other party did a good job of policing and facilitating her continued observation of Joshua.

"Holy Maiden, won't we inform the Inquisition over there? The Iron Brotherhood is indeed a trivial matter, but the black-robed man you spoke of ......"

Doris suggested on the side.

Although the black-robed man had no obvious identity characteristics, among the organizations that believed in evil gods like the Blood God, the Blood Church had the closest relationship with them.

"That guy probably also has a grandmaster-level fighting spirit, and at the same time, he should also have some magic, but such a person is not my opponent."

Lilith replied confidently.

Although under normal circumstances, only divine artists will fall into disadvantage due to the lack of change in battle, Lilith is not only magical, but also has reached the level of a grandmaster.

In this case, facing the enemy head-on can be described as crushing, not to mention that there is a grandmaster-level knight Doris by his side to assist.

"The Blood Church is indeed troublesome, but it can't provoke the Inquisition of Emerald to come over, and the attitude of those people may make Joshua resistant to the Papal Palace."

When it comes to the Inquisition, even Lilith, who also belongs to the Church of Light, can't help frowning.

It was an organization that dates back to the days when the gods fought for faith, and the early days of the brutal cleansing of heresy were the blades of the church.

With the subsequent stabilization of the faith, the organization shifted from the outward to the inward, thoroughly investigating the purity of the faith within the church.

Although Lilith was sure that only she could hear the voices in Joshua's body at the moment, there was no guarantee that no second person in the world could hear that voice, so she did not plan to let the current Joshua come into contact with the Inquisition.

At least let him be a little kinder.

Lilith didn't take the revenge of the Blood Church to heart, at this time the Church of the Righteous God had become the mainstream, and those churches that believed in the Evil God had become street rats.

Even if there are many strong people among them, they can't reveal their identities at will, otherwise they will be exterminated by various churches.

"I'm still too clumsy, if I can hurry up, maybe I can wipe out that person with the Holy Maiden."

Doris was unfamiliar with the town's surroundings, and it took a lot of effort to send the child back, and she didn't come back until Joshua returned to church.

"Clumsy like this is Doris."

Lilith doesn't care about this, although she is a knight who is quite talented in cultivation, but no one is perfect, and there is some love for it.

"Boom~"

At that moment, another loud bang was heard, and in that direction was where the church was located.

Could it be that those people attacked the church while they were away?

Both of them could see the surprise in each other's eyes, and they all galloped in the direction of the church.

……

"Is this what it's called being gifted?"

Joshua looked at the charred crater on the ground, and if he remembered correctly, what he had just taught Jessica was just an ordinary fireball technique.

"Joshua, didn't I say don't use magic in the yard?"

Looking at the big hole in the courtyard, Anna's face suddenly became gloomy, looking at Anna who was about to turn black, Joshua and Jessica were a spirit.

"Father, why did you teach me so much magic in the first place?"

"I've taught you the least powerful form of magic."

Joshua did teach one of the least powerful and most common fireball techniques, but the moment Jessica finished constructing it, the intense heat wave shook Joshua for 10,000 years.

That bigger than a basin, you tell me it's a fireball?

In that moment, Joshua's whole life was not well.

[Looking at the deep pit on the ground, Joshua was not satisfied, although Jessica had some talent, she was still rusty in the control of magic, and it was originally Joshua's prediction that she would directly blow up half of the church to be qualified. 】

, where do I sleep at night when the church blew up?

Joshua looked at Anna with a black face, and at this time he didn't even have a chance to complain about the fate text.

"What's going on?"

Fortunately, at this time, Lilith hurried back to help Joshua out of the siege, and at the same time learned the ins and outs, only to know that it was Jessica who was using magic.

"It's just a fireball spell?"

Lilith looked at Jessica with surprise in her eyes, she had thought that Joshua's reference to gifted children was just an excuse, and that the real purpose was to get a chance to learn magic for herself.

But now it seems that this child turned out to be a genius.

"I knew Jessica was talented, but I didn't expect it to come to this point."

["Tsk~ A guy who has magic but is not good at control, isn't this level almost the same as Lilith's stupid person who can't even use magic well? ”】

Can't you use any magic skills?

Lilith, who was about to test Jessica's talent, suddenly heard this sentence and glanced at Joshua complainingly, knowing that she had a good heart but received this evaluation.

If she didn't use this well, then there weren't many people in the Papal Palace who could be better than her.

["Jessica is entangled in the form of magic, while Lilith is limited by the state of the sword, just following the path that her predecessors have walked, how to make her own breakthrough? ”】

Own breakthrough?

Lilith retracted her thoughts and took out a crystal that tested her magical talents, a material that would lose its effect after one use, so it was more expensive to test her talents.

This is also the reason why Joshua has no way to test the talent of the children.

"Miss Lilith, is this too valuable?"

Anna saw what the crystal was doing, and she and Joshua had thought about testing the children's talents, so they had seen it.

Not only is it expensive, but it is also a disposable, and Anna gave up on the idea.

"Don't worry, if this kid is talented, I'd like to teach him well."

Lilith's words are not an excuse that can be imagined with a pat on the head.

If Jessica's talent is extremely good, then there is no reason to bury it, and she can be trusted to come from an orphanage affiliated with the church.

The most important thing is to avoid being influenced by Joshua's thoughts.

Lilith didn't want to correct a Joshua, and then another Jessica.

When Jessica's hand touched the crystal, a dazzling light emanated from it, and based on the intensity of the light, Lilith had to admit that Joshua was right.

At least in terms of magical talent, this little girl named Jessica does have a promising future.

"Jessica, can you reuse the fireball technique you just had? This time with me watching, it won't be a problem. ”

"Really?"

With Lilith's assurance, Jessica confirms both Joshua and Anna's attitudes, chanting the incantation again, and then the fire elemental in the air converges again to form a fireball.

"It's a great talent."

Joshua genuinely praised that although he also had the talent to use magic after becoming a god, it would take a long time to use magic to allow the divine power to transform his body.

Otherwise, if Joshua wanted to use magic, he would have to use it by storing the power of original sin.

If only the power of original sin didn't have that kind of side effect that affects people's hearts.

["Sure enough, I didn't find any tricks, some of the spells of the fireball technique are too lengthy, and it can be cut to save 10% of the chanting time, and the power of the fireball technique will only drop by 3%, Jessica is really unenlightened."] ”】

Joshua's praise was accompanied by another voice that entered Lilith's ears, and she sighed that Joshua's acting skills were superb, if it weren't for this ability to hear the other person's heart, she would definitely be deceived by this priest.

However, at this time, Lilith was more concerned about the deletion spell that Joshua had said.

This is not uncommon for some mages to reduce their spells while maintaining the power of their magic, which can be turned in as a graduation thesis even in a mage's tower.

Lilith is a god, even if she cultivates magic, but the essence is to assist the magic and increase her adaptability in battle, so she is a little confused about how to delete spells.

No, those who are also gods cannot be looked down upon.

"There's too much magic to make subtle controls on your mental power, so Jessica will shorten some spells to speed up the chanting and reduce the power of the magic to improve accuracy."

Just because Lilith hadn't studied this before, doesn't mean she's just a mediocre person who follows the books.

Isn't it just a shortening spell? I can do that, too.

Fortunately, the fireball technique is just a magic that can be used by a trainee-level magician, and with Lilith's Grandmaster-level insight and good talent, he quickly found a way to reduce the spell, and then let Jessica experiment with it.

"Father, I can control this fireball."

Jessica released the fireball technique according to the spell taught by Lilith, and sure enough, she had a faster speed, and although her power was much lower, it was within the range that Jessica just happened to control and would not be able to control.

"Jessica is so talented."

Joshua touched Jessica's head, and the church couldn't raise orphans for a lifetime, and when they were old, they had to find a way to fend for themselves.

At this time, Jessica has mastered magic, and there is Lilith, a holy woman, who is willing to cultivate, so I think her future will be full of brightness.

["The spell is not shortened enough completely, but the power of the magic has dropped too much, it seems to be suitable for Jessica to use at this time, but as Jessica's strength grows, this spell will become a shackle, and you really shouldn't expect it. ”】

It's so angry, it's really angry.

Lilith clenched her fists, and now she wanted to smash Joshua's chest with a small fist if she could.

You have the ability to do it yourself.

Lilith wanted to say this, but once she said this, it would be tantamount to exposing the fact that she could hear Joshua's "heart", and when Joshua's vigilance was directly full, she would be completely unable to complete the task of the goddess.

Forbearance, forbearance, Lilith.

Joshua didn't notice that Lilith was wrong at this time, but his mind was on the black-robed man.

The fate text does not say that the person is dead, or even implies that the person may still be alive, which makes him nervous.

Joshua didn't know what Lilith had come here for, or what Lilith could do for the church.

But he knew that Lilith couldn't stay here forever, and when Lilith left, he had to have the strength to protect everyone here.

If you have magic, you can learn it through the Bonata Secret Method, and release it by consuming the power of original sin, so the rest is ......

"Miss Doris, if you're not busy, can you learn from me on swordsmanship?"

Joshua didn't ask Doris to teach him how to cultivate Douqi, he understood that the dual cultivation of demonic martial arts seemed to be high, but it must be slow in a short period of time.

Since the power of original sin can act as magic and fighting energy, then he only needs to specialize in magic power and replace fighting energy with the power of original sin.

On this basis, as long as Joshua polishes his moves well, he can obtain the maximum improvement speed in the shortest time.

In the face of Joshua's request, Doris glanced at Lilith, although the holy lady was dissatisfied with the evaluation that Joshua gave her "in her heart", but now the overall situation is important, she still agreed.

"When the priest recovers from his injuries, he can come to me at any time."

"Thank you."

Joshua breathed a sigh of relief, now he owes Lilith a lot of favors, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will have to repay it well.

"Anna, don't let the children go out these days, it doesn't hurt to stop one or two issues of the Montenegrin Weekly, we want to make sure the children are safe."

"Okay, I'll be watching the kids these days."

Anna understands the seriousness of the matter, Joshua has to work hard to improve her martial arts, and she will be relied on to keep the church running during this time, but she can't drop the chain.

[The summer wind is gradually blowing, and the starry night will soon be veiled, and it will not be long before the weather will favor the arrival of the darkless night, and that is when the real danger comes. 】

A dark night?

Joshua thought about his memory, but he couldn't find the relevant words, so he would look up the books that the priest had left behind.
