I, permanently add attributes, ascend to become a god

The woman said in confusion: "My child is gone, and everyone has turned into monsters!"

"Andariel's light is fading, and it can no longer resist the invasion of the black fog. The survivors here have all turned into monsters!"

Lin Chen asked: "Is there anyone still alive?"

"I hope that the adults of the church will take the survivors and escape to the mines, and use the treasures to protect the remaining humans."

"The light of the treasure dispelled the filth in the mine. We hid inside, waiting for the church to rescue us."

Lin Chen asked in confusion: "Then why are you outside?"

"I came out to look for my child. He ran out of the mine alone. It's too dangerous outside!"

Lin Chen looked at the thin body of the woman, who didn't look like she could survive outside. "How come you're okay outside?"

The woman murmured, "I stole the treasure...in order to find Sam. I swore that I would take the treasure back with me when I found Sam. But I searched for a long time and could not find him."

Lin Chen was speechless. He thought there was a group of people in the mine waiting for him to rescue them.

The woman broke down and said, “Didn’t you teach us to never give up hope at any time?”

"Sam clearly still has hope of survival, and I am also following the teachings of the church elders!"

"Is not it?"

"As soon as I find Sam, I will return the treasure..."

Lin Chen: “…”

Is there a possibility that they have already sent it? Whether it is a child or an ordinary human in the mine, in this environment, even Lin Chen has to make an erosion judgment from time to time. It is no joke that ordinary people will die suddenly in half an hour.

Lin Chen secretly complained: "Is this how you say "never give up hope"? Is the Church of Hope in your world so advanced?"

The woman was very emotionally unstable. In order to avoid irritating her, Lin Chen said righteously: "You have done very well. May hope be with you. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, don't give up. This is exactly the purpose of our Hope Church!"

Chapter 94 The Power of Obedience

The woman looked at the sunny Lin Chen. With Lin Chen's innate charm of 9 points and acquired charm of 30 points, his strong affinity made her feel affirmed by the whole world.

I couldn't help but feel relieved, and murmured with red eyes: "I knew that the Knight would not blame me."

"I think Lady Eliza will forgive me. Sam is so well-behaved and sensible..."

With Lin Chen's comfort, the woman fainted.

Looking at the woman's pale face, dry lips, and malnourished and thin body, it was obvious that the search for Sam had been a real pain for her.

"Shining Glory!"

A sacred aura emanated from Lin Chen's hands. No matter what, she couldn't die now.

The sacred attribute began to bloom with its brilliance, and the woman's body, which had been eroded by the black fog for a long time, quickly recovered. Countless black air and curses melted away from her body.

After Lin Chen fed her some food and water, he searched her body all over. Lin Chen was very interested in the treasure that could protect a large number of mortals.

Introduction: As long as there is hope, there will be no fall. It was once blessed by a higher-level item and carried and worshipped by successive nuns of the Church of Hope, embodying hundreds of years of faith.

"Sure enough, everything has a price. Such a powerful effect..."

Lin Chen looked at the stone in his hand in silence. Even Lin Chen had to make an erosion assessment every ten minutes, let alone ordinary people.

This is a special product of the world of Black Mist Tide, which is specialized in the three major judgments. No wonder Lady Eliza can protect so many mortals.

After three hours, Lin Chen estimated that the woman had rested enough, so he woke her up by patting her.

Without waiting for the woman to react.

"Obey what you say!"

[Tip: Judgment is in progress, the judgment has been passed, and the control time is 10 minutes]

"What's your name?"

The woman replied dully, "Leah."

"Tell me everything you know about the Saint."

"The Saint is the legendary person who founded the Church of Hope."

Lin Chen was speechless, that was it.

"Why doesn't the Black Mist come near Andariel? And why does Andariel become like this?"

Leah said blankly, "Every human settlement has a Church of Hope garrison point and a stone of protection granted by it. The Black Mist will not enter the location of the stone of protection. We must work hard to mine and raise enough money for the stone of protection. In recent decades, the effect of the Church of Hope's stone of protection has become weaker and weaker. I heard from the caravans that many settlements have fallen."

"Andariel's Stone of Refuge is becoming less effective, and the Black Mist is gradually seeping in. In addition, a plague broke out three months ago, which has greatly reduced our resistance to the Black Mist. Just two days ago, the plague broke out en masse, and most people could not resist the erosion of the Black Mist and turned into monsters."

Lin Chen said: "Tell me about the information about Andariel's church garrison point."

Leah said, "Because of Andariel's poverty and the exile of criminals, Lady Eliza has been the only one stationed in Andariel. She is the only one willing to protect us, the descendants of criminals."

"Until two years ago, a nun named Tina came from the legendary holy city. She was gentle and kind, and provided us with medical treatment and potions for only a small fee."

"Holy City?"

"Legend has it that this is the headquarters of the Church of Hope."

Leah pointed to the river that passed by and said, "It is said that only the water flowing from the Holy City is drinkable, so we guess that the Holy City is upstream of the river."

"What is the current situation of the two nuns?"

"Lady Tina ignored her own safety and stayed at the church base in Andariel waiting for reinforcements, while Lady Eliza led the surviving people to hide in the mines and fell into a coma due to activating the treasure."

Lin Chen was silent for a while and said, "One last question. Do you know the consequences of taking the treasure?"

Leah replied, "Yes, they will all die."

...

Lin Chen was very satisfied with the effect of following orders. He had worked hard to negotiate with those guys for a long time, but basically found out nothing. When it comes to obtaining intelligence, the advantage of the charm flow is too great. As long as he controls the center, he can answer any question.

Leia dazedly asked, "Sir Knight?"

"Please save my child Sam, he is so young and obedient..."

After waking up, Leah hugged Lin Chen's thighs and begged.

Lin Chen replied in a gentle voice: "Of course no problem, I'm going to go to Andariel's church base now, maybe your child is there."

Leah said happily: "Yes, yes, my Sam must be hiding there. Don't worry, Mistress Tina is taking care of him. He is so naughty!"

"I'll return the treasure once I find Sam."

She obviously didn't realize that the treasure was already in Lin Chen's hands. Lin Chen would naturally not return it to her. What if she ran away? Lin Chen didn't trust this woman at all.

Leia said, "Sir Knight, I will lead the way for you. I couldn't get in before because of those monsters. Now you don't have to worry about it."

Leia took Lin Chen through the streets and alleys, killed many monsters, and finally stopped.

Lin Chen looked at the dilapidated house in front of him speechlessly. He seemed to have passed by it many times when he was investigating Andariel before, but he never realized that this was the so-called base of the Church of Hope.

"We're here. Lady Tina is in front."

Leia walked quickly forward and knocked gently on the door.

Soon, the door quietly opened, and a blonde girl poked her head out and said in surprise: "Aunt Leah, why are you back? Come in quickly!"

Inside the hut, the girl looked at Lin Chen curiously: "Who is this?"

"This is a very powerful knight. I was able to return with his help."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Leah misunderstood, and I didn't have time to explain. My name is Chenxi, and I am actually a caravan guard of the Church of Hope. I got separated from the caravan by chance and came to Andariel by accident."

In front of the leader of the Church of Hope, he naturally would not pretend to be a knight. Anyway, he did not admit it directly, so it was all Leah's misunderstanding.

"I wonder if you've seen that kid Sam?"

Tina frowned and said, "Sam, no, is he lost?"

When Leah heard this, her face turned pale and she said in despair: "No, it's impossible..."

Tina comforted him: "Don't worry, Sam should still be alive, we should never give up hope!"

Tina finally calmed down the unconscious Leah and turned to look at Lin Chen beside her.

The girl stared at Lin Chen's face and said, "Mr. Chenxi, can you explain to me? Why is the Stone of Hope in your hands?"

"And it's the Stone of Hope that has already been activated!"

She naturally knew the cost of activating the Stone of Hope.

Chapter 95 The Girl's Request

Lin Chen took out the Stone of Hope and gave it to Tina, saying, "I got this Stone of Hope from Leah. She took the Stone of Hope in order to find Sam. I met her on the road and escorted her to you."

Tina was struck by lightning when she heard this: "No! Impossible! Sister Eliza and those people..."

The girl took the stone of hope and couldn't stop crying and crying.

Lin Chen silently watched the girl vent herself.

Tina adjusted her mood and apologized: "I'm sorry for making the guests laugh!"

Lin Chen didn't care: "What are Miss Tina's plans now?"

Tina looked at Leah, who was lying unconscious beside her, with complicated eyes.

"The Stone of Hope was left to Sister Eliza by her teacher. The price of activating it is one's own essence. Sister Eliza must be seriously injured now. Without the protection of the Stone of Hope, she is very likely to have fallen. And those people who took refuge with Sister Eliza are likely to have met with an accident."

"I heard from Aunt Leah that Mr. Chenxi is a very powerful person. I would like to ask you to go to the mine to look for Sister Eliza. If she is still alive, please bring her back. If she has fallen..."

Tina struggled and said, "Please Mr. Chenxi, please help get rid of Sister Eliza!"

"I hope that if the church's nun's corruption is not dealt with in time, it will cause very serious consequences. She will become very powerful under the erosion of the black fog."

Tina bit her lip tightly and bowed, "I'm very sorry, I don't have any valuables to offer as a reward, but I still made this rude request."

This was also a very cruel request for her.

[Hint: You have triggered the side quest - Find Elisa]

Mission brief: Sister Tina from the Church of Hope asks you to find the seriously injured Sister Eliza.

Mission objective: Rescue those who have not yet fallen, and eliminate those who have fallen.

Mission reward: None.

Lin Chen nodded and said, "I agree, but what are you going to do, Leah?"

Tina stroked Leah's face and whispered, "Although I am very angry that Aunt Leah took the Stone of Hope without permission, Sam is everything to Aunt Leah."

"Aunt Leah's husband died in a mining accident before Sam was born, and she raised Sam alone."

"She sacrificed everything she had, working from dawn to dusk every day, no matter how hard life was, she was happy to do it. For Aunt Leah, Sam was her reason for living."

"About her taking the Hope Stone...I'm sorry I don't know how to deal with this!"

"Anyway, Aunt Leia may be the last survivor of Andariel."

Tina smiled and cried, "I hope the nuns of the church will have the responsibility to protect the people. It's all because of me. If my medical skills were not so low and I couldn't solve the plague, nothing would have happened."
