Chapter 35: If Faith Is Not Absolute, It Is Absolutely No Faith

“You’re not qualified!”

As Lin En sneered, the bearded man stood there in a daze.

After a while, he asked cautiously: "Why?"

Lin En looked him up and down and said, "Let me ask you, what is the core doctrine proposed in the sixth section of the first chapter of the Creation Canon?"

Although he didn't understand what the question was about, the bearded man still thought about it for a while.

Then he answered honestly: "Love all living things in the world as you love me."

Obviously, this guy's faith is quite devout.

After all, they are people who have suffered real-life trauma and it is easy for them to become dependent on cults and use them as spiritual sustenance.

Graya, who was far away, was shocked when he heard this conversation.

He lowered his head and looked at Afiya, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

Graya knew very well that with Lin En's personality, everything he just said was probably a lie.

This guy was born in the imperial capital and is a nobleman of good family background. How could he possibly believe in such an unorthodox doctrine as the School of Creation?

But his eloquent speech did not sound fake, and he could even tell you a thing or two about the contents of the scriptures.

The only possibility is what happened just now.

While in the carriage, Graya gave Lin En a copy of the Creation Manual.

As the saying goes, know thy enemy and know thyself. If we can understand a little about the specific situation of this school of thought, it will be easier to prescribe the right medicine.

As a result, Lin En seemed to have no interest at the time. He flipped it twice and threw it aside.

At that time, Graya felt a little helpless about this guy's laziness.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

Is it possible that he remembered most of the key information just by flipping through it twice?

Graya had never heard of such a memory.

He suppressed the shock in his heart and continued to look over there.

After hearing what the bearded man said, Lin En repeated thoughtfully, "Love all living things in the world as you love me. It seems you remember it very clearly."

"Of course. My only belief in the goddess is absolute."

The bearded man said confidently.

"Bullshit!" Lin En suddenly cursed, "You're still lying!"

The majestic aura that only belongs to the nobility burst out, making the bearded man's face turn pale.

"I, I didn't!"

He took a half step back, seemed frightened, and retorted somewhat indignantly.

Lin En looked him up and down with contempt: "In that case, let me ask you, do you resent your wife?"

"Of course, I can't wait to kill that bitch right now!"

When the bearded man thought of his tragic past, his mind became hot and he spoke without thinking.

After saying this, he felt somewhat refreshed, as if he had finally released the resentment in his heart.

But a few seconds later, he regretted it.

There are so many people here, and two armed sheriffs on the scene. Would it be inappropriate for me to say something like this?

For a moment, the bearded man felt very pessimistic and had no hope of ever being able to go into the city and return home.

Unexpectedly, Lin En didn't care at all that he said he wanted to kill someone, and just said calmly: "Why did you kill her?"

"Didn't I just say that she was pregnant with someone's bastard child?"

The bearded man said sadly.

"That's the problem." Lin En glanced at him. "Even if the child is not yours, it is still an innocent life. If you don't even love the child in her belly, how can you love the world as the scriptures say?"

"You have violated the teachings of the school. This is a blasphemy against the faith of the goddess."

He said lightly.

Hearing this, the bearded man staggered, as if he was thinking about Lin En's words.

After a moment, he asked with a grim face, "I, I can do what the scriptures say, except... except for the child in her belly and herself."

Lin En just shook his head: "Faith is not absolute, that is, absolutely no faith."

"Grea, bring the contract over here."

Lynn waved.

Hearing this, Graya, who had been watching Lin En's amazing operation, finally came to his senses and realized that things seemed to be starting to take a turn for the better.

So he quickly took out a piece of the extraordinary contract from the stack, took out his pen, and walked over.

Lynn took the paper.

After reading the clause "promise not to spread the ideas of the Creationist school to others", he immediately sneered.

"Change this for me." Lin En pointed at the words above, "Change it to say that I will no longer believe in the goddess from now on."

Graya was a little confused.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

He whispered in Lynn's ear, "Is this pushing too far?"

After all, the first version of the contract did not stop them from believing in the goddess, but only prohibited them from spreading the idea.

But the second version that Lin En requested directly kicked him out of the ranks of believers.

"Just change it as I say."

Lynn didn't explain either.

Soon, a new version of the contract was completed.

Lin En nodded with satisfaction, then handed it to the bearded man beside him: "Sign it."

The bearded man looked at the clauses above and immediately looked angry: "Didn't you say before that you wouldn't force us to change our beliefs?!"

"But I also said that there are prerequisites." Lin En glanced at him calmly, "Except for those believers like me who are absolutely devout to the goddess and can retain their faith, I will eliminate the others who want to fish in troubled waters one by one."

"I won't sign!" The bearded man waved his hands excitedly, "I really am a believer in the goddess, you believe me!"

"So, you are willing to treat that child as your own after you return home, and raise him as if he were your own child. Even if you have to eat less, you must ensure that he is well fed and clothed, and lives a life of luxury?"

Lynn asked, staring at him.

The bearded man's expression became very stiff.

“Me, me.”

It was obvious that he was in confusion and pain.

It's time to deliver the final blow.

Lynn thought silently.

"If you can do what I say, then I can agree to let you keep your faith." Lin En looked at him coldly, "Of course, don't think I'm easy to fool. After you go back, I will send someone to observe you every day."

"If I find out that you have abused your wife and children in the slightest, I will punish you as an apostate."

As he spoke, he pulled a revolver from his pocket and weighed it in his hand.

This was a gun he picked up when he left the cellar. It was loaded with special explosive bullets with amazing lethality.

After all, Lin En is no longer a supernatural being and is not qualified to use ancient spells or the like.

However, it is definitely more than enough to deal with ordinary people.

Looking at the bearded man with sweat oozing from his forehead, Lynn said nothing and continued to exert pressure.

Under the influence of the Liar, his threats became absolutely true words in the ears of the bearded man.

After an unknown amount of time, his waist, which was already somewhat hunched, bent completely.

"I'll sign."

The bearded man replied weakly.

Obviously, rather than raising a child for that unknown old Wang, the bearded man finally chose to give up his beliefs.
