"No!!!"
Hearing this heart-wrenching "No," Lin Ruo's ears seemed to echo with a familiar BGM—Snowflakes fluttering, north wind whistling~
This made the corners of Lin Ruo's mouth twitch uncontrollably, and feeling great because he had persecuted Emlyn White, he kindly said, "Actually, you can really try converting; worshipping Earth Mother isn't a bad thing for you."
This was truly a kind suggestion, after all, the identity behind Earth Mother is likely Lilith, the Sanguine Ancestor.
As a Sanguine who cares a lot about Sanguine honor, Emlyn White worshipping Earth Mother is simply too suitable.
Anyway, when Lilith reveals her identity in the future, he will have to convert sooner or later.
After a pause, Lin Ruo added, "At least this way, you don't have to worry about losing your precious dolls!"
Silence filled the basement.
One could imagine Emlyn White's struggle at this moment, after all, dolls could be said to be this reclusive Sanguine's only hobby, but his faith in the ancestor and his pride in his Sanguine identity were also things he found difficult to give up.
After a long while, Emlyn White's somewhat strained voice came from the basement:
"No, I don't want to convert, I will not yield..."
Lin Ruo didn't care about this, smiled, and said, "Think about it carefully..."
He didn't plan to interfere too much in this matter, after all, if Emlyn White could convert to Earth Mother early on due to self-persuasion like in the original work, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
So, Lin Ruo looked at Father Utravsky beside him and said, "Sorry, I took up some time, let's go!"
"It's okay."
Father Utravsky said gently, and continued to lead Lin Ruo and Klein inside.
The direction they walked in was naturally different from the direction of the basement, and they soon arrived at an empty room.
This was likely a lounge in the church.
Lin Ruo glanced at the things placed inside, his gaze finally landing on the only table in the room.
On it were placed the necessary items for performing the ritual magic to pray to Earth Mother.
"Your Excellency Lin Ruo, I'll leave this to you.
I will pray in the church hall, you can call me anytime if you need anything."
Father Utravsky said this, obviously not planning to stay and watch.
"Thank you."
Lin Ruo thanked politely, watched Father Utravsky leave, and then looked at Klein beside him, smiling and saying, "After I'm done, you can ask Father Utravsky if he has any troubles."
"Huh?"
Klein was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "That's the performance opportunity you mentioned?"
"Yes."
Lin Ruo nodded, and then remembering something, said, "You can contact Emlyn White later.
He's a good kid, although he might be a bit of a shut-in, his nature isn't bad, and he has the backing of the Sanguine, who knows, he might even be a member of the Church of the Earth Mother in the future, it wouldn't be a bad thing to get to know him."
Hearing this, Klein also remembered something and asked curiously, "You seem to know that Emlyn White very well?"
"I wouldn't say I know him very well, I just happened to have heard of him."
Lin Ruo said here, hooking his lips, and said, "After all, Emlyn White is a relatively unique existence even among Sanguine.
Most Sanguine wouldn't be as harmless, reclusive, and fond of dolls as he is... but he is indeed a good kid."
"Are you insulting him or praising him?"
Klein retorted.
Lin Ruo smiled and began to set up the ritual.
Already very familiar with this set of procedures, he quickly completed the preliminary operations, took a step back, recited the honorific name of Earth Mother in Hermes, and finally said:
"I beseech your help, asking to know whether, after Beyonders use mystical items in the Sun domain to expel Beyonder characteristics, they can eliminate the influence of potions and retake other pathways."
He said it frankly, and after speaking, he saw that the flames of the three burning candles naturally expanded, seeming to take on a bit of gold.
Lin Ruo completed the subsequent parts of the ritual with an unchanged expression.
When the last step of the ritual was completed, and the imitation parchment paper ignited by the candle symbolizing "me" was thrown into the cauldron, golden flames suddenly rose.
After another two or three seconds, the flames suddenly faded away, leaving only a little ash in the cauldron.
Under Lin Ruo's gaze, those ashes condensed into a line of words:
"The Crown of Life is lent to you, remember to return it after use."
"It will be delivered to you this week."
Lin Ruo blinked.
This tone, seems a bit familiar?
It seems his relationship with Earth Mother was pretty good before?
Lin Ruo thought uncertainly, but wasn't surprised at all, only a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.
After all, having received Earth Mother's help, and seeing that he could get his hands on the "Unshadowed Crucifix," his matter of changing pathways was stable!
Feeling quite cheerful, Lin Ruo neatly cleaned up the residue from setting up the ritual, and then looked at Klein beside him, who looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, and said, "What do you want to ask?"
"Lin Ruo, what does it mean to use mystical items in the Sun domain to expel Beyonder characteristics, eliminate the influence of potions, and retake a pathway?
Is there such an operation?"
Klein asked curiously.
"It's the literal meaning..."
Lin Ruo didn't hide anything and explained the entire process of this reset operation to Klein in detail.
"It can actually be done like this..."
Klein said with emotion, also feeling quite surprised, "But this operation can probably only be achieved by you..."
Using Beyonder items in the Sun domain and Beyonder items in the Life domain to reset, it sounds very simple, but there aren't many people who can achieve it.
After all, not everyone is a social butterfly like Lin Ruo, who can easily gather the necessary mystical items.
"Are you helping someone else change pathways?"
After feeling emotional, Klein asked curiously again.
However, he didn't think of Lin Ruo himself, after all, a normal person wouldn't think that an angel would reset, and Lin Ruo also said that this method doesn't work on normal angels.
Hearing this, Lin Ruo smiled meaningfully, but didn't hide it, and said leisurely, "No, I'm helping myself change pathways, I want to retake the Justiciar pathway."
"Ah?"
Klein was stunned.
He looked at Lin Ruo in surprise, his face full of disbelief, "Why?
Why so suddenly?
Did something happen?
And didn't you just say that this method doesn't work on angels?"
Asking to the end, Klein's expression was quite worried and nervous.
After all, an angel suddenly wanting to reset, no matter how you look at it, is a big problem.
"Don't be nervous, nothing really happened... it's just that for some reason, I have to advance to Sequence 0, and as you know, the Red Priest's godhood ritual is annoying, of course I can only think of a way to reset."
"As for angels... I'm not quite the same as other angels.
Others can't use this method, it doesn't mean I can't."
He looked at Klein, paused, and said, "And don't think that I'll become a weakling just because I retake the sequence, in fact, even if I retake the sequence, even if I become an ordinary person, I can still exert combat power no less than Sequence 4."
"Ah?"
Klein was a little confused.
"Klein, want to know why?
This is my biggest secret."
Lin Ruo said with a smile, he didn't plan to frankly confess the matter of his supernatural abilities, but only wanted to confess a part of the [Fallacy] ability.
After all... with his previous level of Wave, the ability of Fallacy is probably no longer a secret.
It's better to confess now than to let Klein find out on his own later, which can eliminate hidden dangers.
