"Your Highness, I was wrong before. Can you forgive me?"
Miriam wiped away her tears and put on a fawning smile.
Su Xi found the Forest City High Priest's temperament very unsettling. The NPC had seemed quite normal when they first met, so how did he become like this after just a few days...?
"You before..."
Su Xi suddenly stopped herself from asking the question she was about to ask.
This NPC suddenly acting like this must mean she did something to offend me, but I don't know what she did...
Su Xi thought for a moment, then put on a confident expression and asked seriously, "You say you know you were wrong, so tell me where you went wrong?"
Miriam's voluptuous body trembled slightly. She dared not look directly at Su Xi and said in a low voice, "I shouldn't have put the Crystal Shell into the Saintess's clone's ○○ and ○○. I shouldn't have ignored the Saintess's opinion for my own selfish desires."
What?
○○ and ○○?
Su Xi's expression suddenly turned confused, and her confident demeanor instantly cracked.
I'm absolutely furious! Is your Holy Spirit Cult a legitimate organization? My God, you worship and believe in the Creator God! How can you do such despicable things? Are you out of your mind?
Su Xi roared wildly in her heart, her mind in turmoil.
Suddenly, it occurred to me that the player who became [Divine Grace Hymn] in their previous life only appeared in battles, and when they did appear, they were very silent and did not communicate with others. Apart from that, they were nowhere to be seen at other times.
This is very unusual. In her previous life, after Ellie became a saintess, players reported on her whereabouts every day. Only this Divine Grace Hymn remained incredibly mysterious.
Is this some kind of burden?
Damn, this is hardly any better than using it as a water heater.
It's only 1% of the Divine Grace Hymn bloodline activated, and it's already made the high priest of the Forest City like this. What will happen when it's 100% activated?
They'll definitely be locked up deep inside the cult, used as a power bank every day!
Su Xi shuddered at her own imagination; what kind of ○egg play was this?
She didn't know anything about the Divine Grace Hymn in her past life, but now she was the Divine Grace Hymn. Even if she didn't know, Su Xi didn't want to put herself in a dangerous situation.
A wise person does not stand under a crumbling wall!
The wind is strong, let's get out of here!
Anyway, I inexplicably and cleverly forgot that memory. I don't know if it was a protection set up by Kurumi (the future Su Jiang), but forgetting is always a good thing.
Su Xi quickly straightened her face, narrowed her eyes, and said coldly, "High Priestess Miriam, you should know that what you have done has already caused harm to the body of the Elf Saintess. If I tell the Elf race about this, I'm afraid your Holy Grace Divine Cult will not be happy either."
Miriam trembled three times, as if trying to shake off her fear.
"Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I will bear any punishment the Elf race may impose upon me! But in the face of the Fallen Ones, I hope Your Highness will contribute the power of the Holy Light!"
This guy...
At this point, you're still thinking about the power of holy light?
I'm being lenient by not beating you all to a pulp.
Su Xi thought angrily.
"Heh, I don't care, you just have to compensate me for my losses!"
He extorted money from me and then never came back. What a damn Creator God!
After fumbling around for a while, Miriam took out a bottle of golden potion.
[10% Holy Saliva Fluid]
Quality: Rare to Legendary
Effect: A rare recovery potion with special properties of the Holy Grace Divine Cult. It is rumored that those with special constitutions can activate the Holy Light power within their bodies after taking it!
Note: This concentration of Holy Saliva Fluid is enough to revive a person!
Su Xi's pupils contracted as she looked at the description on the prop.
In the Meta World, it's common knowledge that players can resurrect, but the items are marked with an extra note, which means that they can also be resurrected in reality!
But items that can be resurrected in reality must be of mythical quality, so why is the quality of this Holy Saliva Fluid somewhere between rare and legendary?
Perhaps the resurrection effect is a little weak?
Su Xi guessed that the resurrection of this item might be subject to many conditions, and those who did not meet these conditions could not be resurrected.
Of course, no matter what conditions are imposed, who would complain about an item that can revive someone?!
Su Xi quickly put it away.
Miriam secretly raised her head, glancing at Su Xi out of the corner of her eye, and cautiously asked, "I wonder if Your Highness is satisfied?"
"Hmph, I'll let it go this time, but there won't be a next time." After saying that, Su Xi immediately slipped to the door.
Push open the church door forcefully.
"Wait, wait, Your Highness! I only got that item because I promised the Imperial High Priest. Your Highness, can you help us? We desperately need your help!" Miriam said loudly.
His voice was tinged with sorrow and unease.
It was truly heartbreaking to hear and evoke tears in those who heard it.
Su Xi hesitated for a moment, then turned back and asked, "If the help you're talking about is for me to put the Crystal Shell into my body, please forgive me for not being able to do that."
"Your Highness, our clergy are constantly sacrificing themselves. If we had a [Divine Brilliance Crystal], they might be able to avoid death. Even so, Your Highness, who represents the principle of [life], is unwilling to help us?"
"I..."
Seeing that Su Xi was still hesitating, Miriam said in a firm and powerful voice, "Your Highness, only by combining [Life] and [Hope] into one force can we possibly resist the erosion from the Seven Deities!"
Su Xi was not moved by her passionate words and immediately rolled her eyes. If this alliance required her to make a sacrifice, then such an alliance was not worth having.
Anyway, we didn't defeat the Seven Gods in our previous life, but humanity still survived and even got along well with aliens.
"High Priestess Miriam, sometimes the [Divine Brilliance Crystal] isn't necessary. Since I possess the power of Holy Light, why not use it directly to deal with the Fallen Ones instead of crafting it into a [Divine Brilliance Crystal]?"
To be fair, as an epic-level incarnation, the Divine Grace Hymn is already very powerful. Using it only to create a power bank for the Divine Brilliance Crystal seems like a waste of its potential.
"Your Highness, I've roughly calculated that, based on your Holy Light affinity, you could produce 72 [Divine Brilliance Crystal] in a single day. Your work in one day could save 72 clergy members from death! And I know this isn't even your limit! Your Highness, you might be able to produce 144 or even 288 in a day! The number of people you save will be countless! At that time, you will become the savior of the Church, second only to the Creator God!"
"Moreover, reducing the number of casualties by 288 per day is far more effective than Her Highness personally going to the battlefield!"
Miriam stood up, and her body, which was two heads taller than Su Xi, suddenly became radiant and majestic after she finished speaking, her face filled with incredible fervor and love.
Su Xi was stunned, because she never expected that this NPC was actually a hypocrite. No matter how noble she was, it wasn't her who needed to be sacrificed!
