Three days later, in a border city.
It was drizzling at dusk.
The breeze stained the afterglow of the setting sun, and the dusk tones of the border city revealed a unique laziness, with thin water lines flowing down along the eaves of the city. Autumn was coming to an end, and winter was gradually approaching. The streets of the small city were sparsely populated, and the vendors had closed their stalls early and returned home.
Ansu walked on the lonely city path with an umbrella, heading towards the Glorious Cathedral.
I just received the news at noon that his recommendation for joining the church was approved.
He now has to go to the church, register, receive the holy seal, and then he can become a candidate saint.
In his previous life, Ansu was a 17-week speedrun anchor. Every week he challenged his own record and figured out the fastest start and the most powerful style.
The life sacrifice school created in the sixteenth week has already set the world record for the fastest attainment of godhood.
By constantly recruiting vicious and evil people into the cult and making them work 24 hours a day, they stimulate the dark emotions in their hearts and cultivate the dark elements of the cultists like raising pigs. When they reach the fourth level, they are released and finally killed and sacrificed to the goddess to harvest skill points.
But Ansu always felt that his genre still had room for improvement and progress.
Not extreme enough.
In the 17th round, Anzu finally figured out the simplest and most powerful opening. Unfortunately, he died suddenly and traveled through time when he was only halfway through the game.
—Joining the Church of Glory was the first step in the formation of his school.
The Cathedral of Glory is located in the center of the border city.
The setting sun dyed the drizzle orange, and the church stood in the orange drizzle, brilliant and sacred.
"Name."
The old priest in charge of registration at the door yawned. He looked like he was about to go home after get off work, so his tone was a little impatient and he spoke to An Su without even raising his head.
"Ansu Morningstar."
"Ansu Morningstar." He wrote down Ansu's name and raised his head. "Was it recommended by Lord Lorgar? The one from the Morningstar family?"
"That's right." An Su said with narrowed eyes.
"Hmph," the old priest snorted and whispered, "Now anyone can become a candidate for the church."
Of course he had heard of the child of the Morning Star Family. There was very little light element in his body and his mother was killed when he was born.
The whole city was in an uproar at that time.
Ironically, many years later, this cursed child was able to become a candidate saint of the Glorious Church and was even recommended by a candidate saint.
Most of the time, the power of money is used.
Otherwise, how could the prospective saint be interested in him, the son of curse
And what about yourself
He has been guarding the Vatican for most of his life, but has never been recommended. He is still just a non-staff member, receiving a salary of one gold coin per month.
"Your holy seal is not yet complete." The old priest said without looking up. "We are closed. Come back tomorrow."
"Can't you be flexible?" An Su said calmly.
He remembered that it was clearly not closing time yet.
"It's closed, it's closed." The priest lowered his head to sort out the materials, without even looking at An Su, "Even if you are a noble, you have no privileges."
He believed in the Goddess of Light and hated such playboys the most.
The old priest was not afraid that Ansu would take revenge in the future. The status of a candidate saint was only a temporary one. If the child failed the saint examination three times, even his candidate status would be stripped away.
How could this dude possibly pass the test
The entrance examination cannot be passed by bribery.
The priest felt that he kept Ansu out in order to protect the sacred church from being corrupted by capital.
"I know what you're thinking," Ansu stared at the priest's face, "You think I got the recommendation because of money."
"You misunderstood," the priest replied with a wry smile, "you are not. But I just don't want the smell of money to come to the goddess's temple."
"No. Actually, you are right." An Su also responded with a smile, and said cheerfully, "I am just rich."
The priest was surprised by Ansu's frankness.
How can one confess guilt so cheerfully and cheerfully
But what shocked him even more was Ansu's next move—the latter simply placed a heavy bag of money on the counter.
A rough estimate is that there are at least sixty gold coins.
This is the front hall, there are other people here.
How can bribery be carried out so openly
"I'll give you this money for safekeeping." An Su asked, "Can I go in now?"
The old priest stared at the bag of gold coins and swallowed his saliva. The evil smell of money had not yet corrupted the holy church, but it was about to corrupt this loyal old believer. It was really the boy's fault for bribing too openly!
".This is your proof of being a saint."
The old priest calmly put the bag of gold coins into his pocket and handed a copper seal to Ansu. "The Glorious Church is one of the seven great churches of God. After becoming a candidate saint, you will enjoy certain rights and interests."
As expected, it had actually been done a long time ago, I just didn’t want to give it to myself.
An Su was not angry. He took the holy mark and wore it on his chest.
"As a candidate saint...as long as you contribute to the destruction of the cult, you can accumulate faith points in the seal card. By praying to the goddess statue, you can exchange for low-level blessings from the goddess. If you want to exchange for blessings above the low level, you must become a formal saint."
Accumulate faith points by hunting down secret followers, and use faith points to upgrade. This is the traditional style of the previous life, the 'Witch Hunting Saint Style'.
Ansu listened impatiently as the priest introduced the rules that he already knew.
Why is there no skip button
Will skipping the plot mean skipping life
"Now, go in and pray to the goddess to activate your mark." The old priest added, "Believers who pray for the first time may be granted a title blessed by the goddess."
"Of course." He glanced at An Su with a hint of annoyance again, his lips moved, but in the end, for the sake of money, he swallowed the last half of the sentence.
"You have no chance." He wanted to say this to Anzu.
Ansu took the token and walked across the antechamber into the church.
The rain outside had stopped, and the setting sun was broken into scattered spots of light by the patchwork glass on the dome, covering the statue of the Goddess of Light.
There are still many believers in the church. It seems that the old priest was lying to Ansu when he said the church was going to close.
An Su was not angry. He walked straight to the statue, clasped his hands together, and prayed quietly.
He could feel that the Saint's Mark in his hand was establishing a connection with himself.
"Is that little brother a candidate for sainthood?"
"You look so pious. Is this your first time praying?"
"So young, and this little brother has a very good-looking face."
"You are dressed so gorgeously, you must be a noble."
"Do you think he can obtain the title of Goddess's blessing?"
"It's very difficult. To get a title after the first prayer is at least one in a thousand. But he's so good looking!"
The female believers in the audience were talking in low voices, all discussing Ansu in front of the statue. Especially the young girls, whose ears turned slightly red when they looked at Ansu's delicate profile.
Ansu ignored the noisy voices and devoted himself to communicating with the goddess statue.
As the Saint's Mark gradually activated, divine and glorious sounds began to echo in his ears.
Anzu's lips formed a smile.
[Ansu]
[Magic Points: 3]
[Preparing the Saints]
[Current Faith Points: +15 (eliminated twenty first-level followers of the Mother Goddess of Life and one third-level priest)]
[Preparatory Saints can exchange for low-level blessings, or add points to the body]
really!
He felt the joy of a good harvest.
The twenty-one secret believers who were sacrificed were considered points of faith by the Holy Church of Light.
He only sacrificed once, but was able to receive two rewards, one from the Mother Goddess of Life and one from the Holy Church of Light.
This is the final style developed by Ansu—the Light and Dark Priest style!
It is an upgrade of his life sacrifice flow in the sixteenth week!
Join the Glorious Church, become a saint, obtain the qualification to exchange blessings, and capture cultists to sacrifice to the Mother Goddess of Life. On the one hand, the Mother Goddess of Life harvests the dark sacrifices and will give the blessing of Mother Goddess Ansu.
On the other hand, on the side of the Glorious Church, because Ansu eliminated the evil secret cultists and eradicated the darkness, the Goddess of Gloriousness will once again give the blessing of the goddess.
I believe in the Holy Light ≠ I don’t make sacrifices.
The oath he made to Lorgar was 'never to sacrifice innocent people again', not to not sacrifice!
Are the esotericists innocent people
Not really.
Besides, Ansu would never sacrifice ordinary people. How many dark elements can ordinary people have
Of course, whoever is more ruthless will make the most money!
Combine the Life Sacrifice Flow and the Witch Hunt Saint Flow together.
This is what is called a win-win situation.
The Mother Goddess of Life wins once, the Goddess of Glory wins once,
And Ansu won twice!
