Reject me, hateful woman

Even the Theocracy, "the place where the gods gather," would express its tacit approval for the singing of these epics.

After all, only those who endure forever are gods, and those who will be killed by mortals are just the evil thoughts and remnants of the old era.

The second reason is because, looking at all the heroes spread throughout the history of the continent, killing gods is a feat that can only be accomplished by heroes who stand at the apex of the era.

No one would want to be an enemy of that kind of person.

As for the current Lin En, not to mention that she is still far away from the peak of the era, there should be at least dozens of Shadow Queens and Empress Mothers separated from her.

But when he said this, neither Lin nor Father Arnel smiled.

As the "former" Butcher Bishop of the Inquisition, no one has done more for the survival of the gods than him, and no one has seen more blasphemers and understands the weaknesses of the "gods" better than him.

Therefore, Father Arnell also knows that there is never only one way to kill a god.

Fighting in an upright manner and physically granting "death" to the immortal gods is the heroic way.

And Lynn never felt like a hero.

Heroes have heroic fighting methods, and villains also have villainous despicable methods.

In Linn's view, the relationship between believers and gods is nothing more than a transaction.

Believers devote their faith to the gods, and the gods grant miracles and magic, and that's it.

Lin En is not so arrogant that he thinks he has the ability to kill gods, but he is confident.

Confidence that kills "faith".

Let your subordinates compile some black material about the Earth Mother Church and "accidentally" leak it, bribe the top leaders of other churches to target the Earth Mother Church, and expand the loopholes in the Holy Scriptures infinitely.

Aren't you the merciful God who helps all victims? How about I give your senior believers a few "kill one or save ten" trolley problems?

Lin En will not completely let the "Earth Mother God Cult" disappear. The Theocratic State will not allow such behavior, but let it weaken, extremely weak, and be demoted to the level of being unknown. Most of the top leaders of the Theocratic State are afraid that On the contrary, you will enjoy the results.

After all, the power of faith in the world is like a piece of cake to the gods. If others eat less, you can eat more. Why not allow it?

But to really achieve this step, the manpower, material resources and time spent must be quite terrible. In a sense, killing faith is even more impossible than killing gods directly. This is why almost no one uses this method. one.

But as the prince of Zijinhua, the most prosperous empire in the mainland, and even the future new emperor in the eyes of many people, Lin En said these words with extra weight.

If it doesn't work in five years, use ten years. If it doesn't work in ten years, use 20 years... The Dragonborn's 200-year lifespan has become Linn's most terrifying weapon at this time.

At this time, Father Arnel inexplicably remembered Father Eris’s advice again:

"This prince is a fanatic with no fear. In a sense, he is the biggest blasphemer in the world."

Yes, only people who have no natural fear of gods would think of this method.

However, he is different from those blasphemers who hide their heads and tail. He really has the ability to do this. Even if it is beyond his ability now, what will happen after he rules this country?

If he is still the "butcher", then Linn is the "divine enemy" that he must "eradicate" no matter the cost.

But now, he is a messenger of mercy.

Therefore, Father Arnell must admit that Lynn's threat is effective.

Seeing the priest obediently sitting on the chair assigned to him, Linn's lips slowly opened into a smile.

"Wise choice, Father."

"No, Your Highness Linn,"

Father Arnel shook his head.

"I want to apologize to you"

Apologize?

Lynn frowned slightly.

"I am the messenger of the Mother of Mercy, her disciple and servant, but unfortunately, the relationship between us is just that. The goddess issues the oracle, I execute it, the goddess does not say,"

He paused:

"I am ignorant."

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I am not qualified to answer any of your questions on behalf of the goddess, just as I am not qualified to persuade you to let go of your resentment towards the goddess."

"I just received the oracle's message not to let you die there and to wait for your arrival here. Other than that, I don't know anything."

Father Arnell raised his head and looked at Lynn, his eyes loving and frank,

"But I can completely understand your resentment and anger. Moreover, I did hide a lot from you. If you don't accept my apology, there is nothing wrong with me."

Lin En was silent for a while, and his tone showed no emotion or anger:

"In other words, your answer to my question is that you know nothing about it?"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. Apologizing for hiding the oracle from you is the only thing I can do."

The old priest closed his eyes and clasped his hands on his knees, like a sinner waiting for trial, but with a sense of calmness.

He was ready to face the wrath of His Royal Highness.

He heard Linn getting up, and the figure and breathing came closer to him.

Then, a hand patted the old priest on the shoulder:

"Okay, I forgive you."

Then the figure turned around and sat back on the chair.

"Your Highness?"

Father Anel opened his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him in astonishment.

The evil prince who was so oppressive just now was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed. The cloudy expression that seemed to be accumulating a storm just now was gone, and he still had a faint smile:

"Either my friend, or my enemy. Do you think I am such an extreme person?"

So you are not... The old priest licked his lips dryly.

"Relax, Father. As I said, I'm just dealing with the situation and not the person. Moreover, weren't you the one who helped me get the three archbishops to stay in the castle to exorcise demons and the first one to perform divine blessings on me? I I don’t believe that the oracle is so detailed.”

"Whatever my relationship with that god, I respect you personally, Father Arnel."

Linn finally concluded.

And from a more realistic perspective, although the cardinal has an extraordinary status, Bishop Anel is obviously not the all-rounder, and it is unrealistic to extract too much information from him.

Rather, the conversation with the old priest confirmed that his reincarnation had something to do with the goddess, which was what Linn expected.

It's better to take advantage of the opportunity and sell it to the other party, and judging from the other party's performance, Lin En's gains are pretty good.

The old priest was speechless, but his eyes had some indescribable emotions.

"I really didn't expect you to be so open-minded, Your Highness."

The old priest said.

"Because I'm not that open-minded, Father,"

Lin En sat upright, stared at the goddess statue, and said calmly:

"I have only forgiven you, but I have not forgiven your god. If she will listen to your prayers, please tell her that Lynn Norton will visit the Theocracy personally in the future, and then I will ask her to teach you."

Father Arnel was silent again for a while.

Finally, he opened his eyes and said:

"No, Your Highness, you are going to the Fire Rose Empire, and not in the future, but as soon as possible."

"Fire Rose? Historia's hometown?"

Linn rubbed his chin.

This country can be regarded as a satellite power in the original novel, because it is far away from Purple Flower, where the main plot takes place. Although it is also a superpower, except for the later plot of Historia, there is relatively little coverage.

After everything calms down, it would be good to go there for a visit, but Lin En has no plans to visit there in the near future. After all, whether it is from the perspective of his own safety, he has just offended a wave of Demonic Clock Tower, or from the perspective of the timeline. From a practical point of view, the major events related to Historia have not yet begun. Father Anel’s proposal is indeed a bit unreasonable...

"Hey!"

Lin En suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but cursed and looked at Father Anel sitting opposite him.

The old priest just nodded solemnly, his old eyebrows opened, and his eyes seemed to be shining with some kind of divine brilliance. A thunderbolt split the sky by chance, and the white light of lightning passed through the colored windows, making the church a little dim. The back room is brightly illuminated:

"Yes, Your Highness, a new oracle has arrived."

"However, please don't misunderstand, this is not a threat or an order, but an invitation from the goddess to you."

"and,"

The old priest paused.

"Because your enemies will be there too, you have the right to say no."

"Magic Clock Tower?"

Lin asked with pursed lips.

The old priest did not answer or deny, but nodded very slightly.

He finally looked at Linn,

"So, Your Highness, what is your choice?"

Lynn just sighed.

Although I have long thought about leaving Zijinhua, now is not a good time.

........

At the same time, slightly ahead of time, in the student dormitory of Eden College.

Elena looked at the rain clouds accumulating in the sky, and was hurriedly putting away her clothes. Historia, with a look of despair on her face, was lying in front of the desk writing Elena's rules for her. review strategies.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Elena was holding a pile of clothes that were taller than her body on the balcony, and she was a little overwhelmed.

"I'll open the door!"

Before she could speak, Historia had already rushed to the door like a gust of brisk wind, and Elena couldn't help but sigh helplessly and amusedly.

Normally, Historia would never do such things proactively, but once she entered the learning state, the most boring chores in the world seemed to become more interesting.

Historia happily walked to the door and opened the door to the room, unable to help but be startled.

Because of their personalities and identities, the two of them didn't socialize much in the academy.

She originally thought that the person coming would be Linn, a random fisherman who came to visit, or some magical postman, but what stood outside were two completely unfamiliar faces, wearing dark red water-release cloaks, Hist Leah felt that these two people looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who they were for a while.

"Long time no see, Your Highness Princess."

The person on the left should put his hand on his chest first and bow slightly to Historia.

There will be many people in Purple Flower who salute Historia in this way, but because she is a princess of a foreign country, others will usually just call her "Historia Your Highness" and directly call her Her Princess. People, Historia searched her mind and suddenly realized.

"You are from the Fire Rose Embassy!"

Historia immediately remembered this face. On the first day of school, this guy was responsible for handing her over in the academy, but the two of them never saw each other again.

"Why do you suddenly come to see me, Your Highness? Did you cause something that needs me to solve? Don't worry, their prince and I are buddies!"

Historia flicked her twin ponytails, feeling that she had guessed the purpose of the two coming here.

After all, they were the poor people in a foreign country. As the Royal Highness, she felt that she still had to take care of them.

The young messenger opened her mouth as if she was about to say something, but the unfamiliar face on the other side reached out to stop her and spoke first:

"No, thank you for your concern, Your Highness. We have nothing to ask for your help for the time being. We are just here to send you a letter from home."

Home letter?

Historia scratched the back of her head, suddenly enlightened.

The letter she sent home to Huo Qiangwei last month had not received a reply. She had been wondering for a while. It turned out that it was sent to the embassy by mistake, so it was not surprising.

"Then thank you. After you give it to His Highness, you can go back. When I write a letter home next time, I will tell Father about the reward for you."

The girl put her hands on her hips.

After working with Lin En for so long, she still learned a little bit about painting pie.

However, the two just looked at each other without showing any joy.

"What's the matter, is there any question?"
