Chapter 288: Apu and the Great Saint’s Wedding Room (4)
The Forgotten is Daina's title.
At the same time, it also represents the secret method that Daina has practiced in the Church of the Goddess of Dawn for thousands of years. The number of believers who choose to practice this secret method has always been very small.
On the one hand, this is not the orthodoxy of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn.
On the other hand, although one's strength will be extremely exaggerated after reaching the highest level of practice, the initial stage is difficult and the effect is slow.
Just these two points have already doomed most believers not to choose this secret method. The consequence of no one choosing it is that there is no experience of predecessors to learn from. Except for the initial period of Daina's practice, after entering the heroic realm, every step of improvement almost depends on her own exploration.
Only Daina herself knew how difficult this was, especially after entering the legendary realm, her progress became slow again.
The way of practice that Daina chose, in addition to daily hard training, is to take the word "forget" to the extreme, and to promote the improvement of her own realm through the neglect and forgetfulness of others.
This method of practice was not only discovered by Daina herself, but also judged by Christian to be the most suitable method for him.
But when Ron asked about the effects of the practice, Daina's usually calm face inevitably revealed a hint of bitterness.
It cannot be said that there is absolutely no effect, but it can be said that it is better than nothing.
"It seems that the effect is not that good." Ron spread his hands. "Actually, this is normal. Although I don't know what kind of secret technique you practice, I can at least see that the effect of this secret technique should be to make people ignore and forget your existence. The path you choose is to make yourself as mediocre or moderate as possible."
"You think that the more ordinary a person is, the less likely they are to be noticed by others, the more likely they are to be ignored, and the easier it is to be forgotten."
Daina nodded. This was indeed her initial consideration, and she had been working towards this goal.
Ron exhaled slowly and said, "So, you were on the wrong path from the beginning."
Daina's face turned slightly pale for a moment. She was told that the practice method she had adhered to for many years was wrong. This was a huge shock. Even Daina found it difficult to remain calm. If it was an ordinary person who said this, Daina might not care at all. But the person who said this was a prophet who could give Christian a breakthrough to the legendary peak with just a little advice.
Even the Grand Sister, the Forgotten, could not ignore the prophet's words.
Seeing Deina's expression, Ron spoke again: "Ordinary people are indeed easy to be ignored, but being too ordinary will attract more attention."
"Don't you realize that it's really easy for people who meet you for the first time to forget your existence?"
"But for those who gradually become familiar with you, this ordinariness will become meaningless. As they meet you more and more times, their impression of you will become deeper and deeper. There is no doubt that the degree of deepening will be far greater than that of ordinary people. What's more, you have the title of Arch Sister. Nowadays, when the clergy of the headquarters of the Dawn Goddess Church talk about the Arch Sister who looks ordinary and is easily overlooked and forgotten, the first name that comes to their mind is Diena."
"When everyone has a certain degree of specialness, an absolutely ordinary person becomes absolutely different."
"In other words, the cultivation path you have chosen now will not only fail to help you increase your strength, but will even become an obstacle on your cultivation path."
Boom...Crack.
Daina's body trembled slightly and her face turned pale. She never thought that the path of cultivation that she had found after a long period of thinking and clearing away layers of fog would eventually become the culprit that delayed the growth of her strength.
"Of course, Miss Diana is still very young. It's not too late for her to change her training method now, so you don't need to worry too much."
Dai Na smiled bitterly, "Sir, you are joking. This secret art called the Forgotten has been practiced by very few people for thousands of years. I don't have the experience of my predecessors to learn from. Every step of practice is extremely difficult, and I can only rely on myself to gradually explore each way of practice. It is so difficult to come up with a completely new way of practice. I am a little dull and can't think of any other better way of practice."
Ron smiled slightly and stared at Deina: "It's actually very simple."
"Don't try to hide your nature and instincts."
"Miss Deina, you have to understand that in the history of the Dusk Continent, which stretches back tens of thousands of years, all practitioners who suppressed their nature and instincts would not achieve very high achievements in the end. No matter what secret method they practiced, once they suppressed their nature and instincts, this suppression would inevitably lead to the inability of the practitioners to think clearly, and a lot of depression would accumulate deep in their hearts. These depressions are the levels, obstacles, and even demons in your heart that you will encounter when you break through the levels."
"On the path of cultivation, just let nature take its course."
"Moreover, Forgotten One... Could it be that the goal of practicing this secret art to the extreme is to make everyone forget, ignore, and not notice your existence?"
"If this secret technique really has such an effect, then what is the point of your cultivation? If you have cultivated to the extreme and no one knows of your existence, no one can see you or hear your voice, then what is the difference between that and being dead?"
"I believe that no one would create such a secret method that is no different from suicide."
"Perhaps, in fact, you are just overthinking it. The real effect of this secret technique is just hiding, disguise and assassination. The founder may just feel that the original name is not high-end and classy enough, so he dropped a name like Forgotten that sounds very cool. Who knows."
Ron's words immediately stirred up a storm in Deina's heart.
Her eyes were wide open and dazed. With Daina's temperament, she found it difficult to digest for a moment. This was tantamount to overturning the goal she had been practicing for for so long.
Hiding, disguise, assassination?
Could this be the true effect of the Forgotten's secret technique?
If that's true, then even if you name yourself the King of Killers, it would still be much better than the Forgotten One, right?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
For a moment, Deina was confused. Ron's explanation made Deina feel absurd, but on the other hand, she inexplicably felt that what Ron said seemed to make sense.
Unlike Deina who was in a state of confusion, Ron had a warm smile on his face from beginning to end. He really didn't lie to Deina. The Forgotten was indeed one of the most powerful assassination methods in the game. He was a mage-type assassin. The point was that I could walk up to you with an enchanted dagger and you wouldn't even know I was going to kill you.
"Anyway, there is something wrong with the cultivation path you have chosen. Your strength has not improved for a long time. In this case, why not give it a try? What if I am right?"
"Even if I'm wrong, don't suppress your instincts and nature. Seeking to be free from thoughts will do you no harm at all."
Deina didn't say anything more, but just nodded silently and continued to lead Ron forward. However, Deina was obviously uneasy along the way.
She was even almost tripped by the pebbles on the ground. If Ron had not been quick to support Daina in time, the face of this high-ranking nun in the Church of the Goddess of Dawn would have come into close contact with the uneven ground, and her delicate nose might have been crooked.
It seems that Sister Diana is one of the most disciplined people in the church. When Ron supported Diana and had a little physical contact with her, the nun jumped far away like a frightened little rabbit.
Such a big reaction made Ron feel helpless, as if he was some notorious rapist. Even if he just supported Diana, the nun felt that her body was defiled, and her cheeks were red.
Ron had no choice but to keep a little distance between himself and Diana to prevent the nun from making any more extreme moves.
After several minutes, a low house appeared in front of Ron.
Seeing the wooden house in front of him, which was not shabby but definitely an ordinary one, Ron looked a little strange: "Miss Diana, I think I said the right thing. I am looking for the Saint Christian."
"Mr. Ron, this is the boudoir of Her Majesty the Archsister."
"It is also the wedding room of the Arch Nun and the Vice-Pope."
Daiina seemed to have completely recovered: "Your Highness, you have been living here since you became a saint. Of course, Vice Pope Apu has never set foot in this house."
