Chapter 100 Paganism
At night in Igwynte, in the apartment building on Nanyanghua Road, Dorothy, who had just imprinted the information, sat in a chair, thinking with interest.
"I have obtained the swordsmanship of Jian Ji. It seems that the secret book of swordsmanship is quite profound. I wonder if this set of swordsmanship can help the people over there to resolve the crisis. I hope they are okay... After all, he gave me a secret book for nothing."
Dorothy thought so. After obtaining the secret information offered by the other party, Dorothy went to exchange it. The Laurent swordsmanship she exchanged was actually fed back into Dorothy's consciousness. Dorothy copied it and sent it over, imprinting it on the Book of Souls for him. After all, knowledge will not disappear because of sharing.
In other words, a copy of Laurent's swordsmanship is still retained in Dorothy's consciousness, but it is in a storage state and has not been imprinted in the Book of Souls.
Yes, the purpose of the Book of Engraved Souls is not to store knowledge, but to allow Dorothy to avoid learning costs and time, and master certain knowledge with the highest proficiency in an instant.
Just like the roar of a dragon, in the world of Nirn in Elder Scrolls, knowing a roar of a dragon and mastering a roar of a dragon are two completely different things. If you are not a dragonborn, it may take a lifetime for a mortal to learn a roar of a dragon. Sometimes, if you are not talented enough, you will never be able to learn it no matter how long you study. For example, the familiar leader of Whiterun, Uncle Ba, went to learn the roar of a dragon from Greybeard, but did not learn it. Another person who learned it was Ulfric, the leader of the Stormcloak rebels, and killed the High King of Skyrim with a roar, which set off a civil war. However, he did not learn as much as the cheating dragonborn.
䀴With the help of the Soul Book's imprint, Dorothy learned the Dragon Roar even faster than the Dragonborn, but due to the thickness of the Soul Book, there was an upper limit to this efficient learning.
䀴Now, Dorothy has stored some skills and experience of Laurent's swordsmanship, but the remaining parts of Dorothy's Soul Book are not enough to learn all of this master-level duel swordsmanship.
Unlike Vanya, whose Soul Book had not written about it, Dorothy's Soul Book had already written about Dragon Shouts and Cain Identification Technique. If she wanted to learn Laurent's swordsmanship, she could only choose to learn a part of it.
"It's a pity that I can't learn it all in one go, but today I also learned another way to obtain the secret teachings."
Looking at the "Navy Chronicle" on the desk, Dorothy murmured, she felt that she might be able to develop downlines in the same way as before and let others sacrifice themselves to her for the secret teachings.
"Huh... So, I still hope you can get through this difficult time, you devout believer who believed in the wrong god."
Dorothy thought so as she looked at the words appearing on the navigation log.
…
At night, in the crypt of the chapel in Red Creek Town.
Under the guidance of her mind's eye, Vanya blocked the incoming bullet with her sword. Although the bullet was deflected and ricocheted to kill the masked man in a white robe, the powerful kinetic energy brought by the bullet could not be digested so easily.
At the moment when the crisp sound like hammering iron was rang out, Vanya deflected the bullet, but the base of her sword was numbed by the shock, and the blade, which she had not held firmly, fell to the ground with a bang. Her body was shaken off balance and tilted backwards, and Vanya sat down on the ground.
"oops!"
Touching her tailbone, Vanya cried out in pain. Although she had the experience and skills of Laurent's swordsmanship, she did not have the physical strength to fully utilize her experience and skills, so she was unable to block the bullet.
Vanya was a full-time nun who lived a relatively home-based life every day and had never had any regular exercise. Although there was no problem with her deflecting the bullet, she was not strong enough to stand still and hold the knife steadily, so she was knocked down. After all, neither the advancement of the "Lamp" Extraordinary nor Dorothy's gift gave her any physical points.
"Hiss... It hurts... I have to get up quickly. We are still fighting!"
Covering the place where she fell, Vanya stood up quickly. Just as she picked up the sword on the ground and was about to get ready again, she saw the man in white robe lying on the ground, lifeless.
"Eh... is he dead? When? Oh... it seems like I deflected the bullet just now. The swordsmanship that God inspired is so strong that it can actually block bullets!"
Vanya, who just realized that she had killed the enemy, sighed and said no. For a moment, she couldn't believe that she had done this. Looking at the scene in front of her and the blood on the sword, Vanya was in a trance for a long time, and then she shook her head and said no.
"Huh... Now is not the time to be in a daze. We should thank God for his grace!"
After cheering up her trance-like expression, Vanya knelt down and prayed devoutly.
"Thank you... Thank you for your revelation... Thank you for giving me the power to defeat heresy. Your grace proves the correctness of my path and the correctness of the Three Saints' doctrine. I will carry out your teachings and will always be the enemy of any heretic who attempts to destroy the truth!"
As usual, Vanya prayed in a very formal manner, but after the prayer, she found that something seemed wrong.
"Ah... I still don't know which one of the Three Saints or the Savior gave the revelation. It's really rude that I can't even address him correctly!"
Vanya thought so. In the Church of Radiance, if one could not clearly identify the three saints or the saviors to pray to, they would use the term "㹏". However, in general, people would clearly pray to the right person, so the term "㹏" was not used very often.
'No, I have to ask quickly! If I pray normally, it won't be answered. Let's see if the holy book is still there.
While thinking this, Vanya hurried to the corner of the tomb and took out the holy book she had written before. After spreading it out, she started writing devoutly.
"Thank you for your grace. Please forgive me for my presumption. May I ask which one of the Son, the Mother, the Father, and the Savior is you?"
…
Dorothy, who was sitting at her desk and staring at the book, finally got the response after a lot of effort. After reading the sentence that appeared on the page, Dorothy couldn't help but frowned slightly.
"It seems that he has escaped from danger. This is the most wonderful thing... But... He asked me which one of the three saints or the savior I am? Does he think I am a god of the Radiant Cult? Is he a clergyman of the Radiant Cult?"
After seeing this scene, Dorothy bit the tip of her pen and thought for a while, then took a deep breath and wrote it down in the book.
"I am not one of the Radiant Saints."
…
"ah!!!"
Looking at the words appearing on the holy book in her hand, Vanya was so scared that she screamed out loud, and shook her hand and the holy book flew out.
He stood up in panic, his hands on his chest, his eyes wide open.
"No, not the saints! This, this means foreign gods! Pagan gods!"
Suddenly, Vanya felt her head was in a mess, her breathing was short, and her heartbeat was accelerated.
"What should I do? What should I do? I have accepted the revelation from a foreign god. I have become a heretic! No, more than a heretic, I am a pagan! I have apostatized!"
Vanya looked at the dead man in white robe on the ground with a dazed look. Although he was not a heretic, he still believed in the Radiance. She had directly apostatized and turned into a heretic! ?
If we are discovered by the people from the Tribunal, we will be finished!
Suddenly, Vanya felt that the rest of her life was bleak.
