Miriam, who always exuded a gentle, spring-like aura, suddenly became somewhat disordered, her face filled with astonishment. "Why is this happening? I actually see God-given Power within you..."
What is God-given Power?
Theresa searched her memories of her past life but had not seen any similar statements.
Miriam suddenly seemed somewhat insincere, hesitatingly saying, "Your Highness, perhaps we should give it a try..."
"Try what?"
Before Theresa could finish her question, the system emitted a notification sound.
"Ding! Miriam Sainsbury intends to attempt to activate the bloodline within your body. Do you accept?"
Theresa's eyes lit up. Could the system's mention of activating bloodlines mean activating the ability of [Divine Grace Hymn]?
He immediately replied, "Okay!"
Miriam hesitated for a moment before taking a crystal bottle containing golden liquid from the pocket of her priest's robe and handing it to Theresa.
[1% Holy Saliva Fluid]
Quality: Rare
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: Without buying, there would be no killing.
Theresa looked at the prop and felt something was off; even the description seemed strange...
But he still took it.
A faint golden light flashed by.
Theresa indeed saw a new entry on her panel.
Ability Awakening: Divine Grace Hymn (1%)
1%?
Does that mean only 1% of the ability has been awakened?
Theresa looked left and right, but couldn't find any changes on the panel.
"As expected, Your Highness, this form of yours is perfectly adapted to the power of the Holy Light! To the point of being almost perfect!" Miriam's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as she looked at Theresa.
I don't know why...
Did Theresa see desire in the eyes of the priest in this church?
No way...
Aren't the Holy Grace Divine Cult all about being selfless and loving?
Theresa doubted she was seeing things.
Then she asked, "Then, Priestess Miriam, what does this mean?"
"Hehe, didn't Your Highness want the [Divine Brilliance Crystal]?" Miriam returned to her gentle and pleasant demeanor, smiling at Theresa.
Theresa, however, sensed that there was something about that smile that she seemed to have found something to be satisfied with...
"Of course I want it, but I've already absorbed that spear filled with holy light, and I can't restore it."
"Hehe, no need..."
Miriam led Theresa to a secret room in the back hall.
There were boxes of wooden containers filled with transparent crystals on the ground.
"This shape is... Divine Brilliance Crystal?"
The system provides information about the items in a timely manner.
[Crystal Shell]
Quality: Rare
Effect: Materials that bear the light of the gods.
Note: Ugh... that's a bit disgusting.
Theresa: "???"
What's wrong with this explanation? It's kind of disgusting.
Was it made from materials from some kind of monster?
Theresa was completely baffled by the description of the item, and then asked, "What are all these things?"
"Crystal Shell, a material used to contain the divine light."
"No... I mean, how are these Crystal Shell made?"
Miriam gave a mysterious smile, "That's a secret, you know. Only by becoming a high priest of a district can you find out this secret."
Theresa: "..."
"Alright, since Your Highness wants a Divine Brilliance Crystal, then you should make one yourself."
"Made it yourself?"
Before Theresa could understand what this meant, Miriam selected a relatively small Crystal Shell and led Theresa to the main church, where many nuns were sitting silently in chairs, facing the statue of the Creator God, and praying in silence.
Actually, Theresa saw it when she came in last time.
But I didn't pay attention.
Only now do I realize that these nuns seem a bit strange.
But Theresa couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange about it.
However, she found out the next moment.
"Your Highness, please take the Crystal Shell into your mouth."
"Ah?"
"I cannot explain the process of the formation of the Divine Brilliance Crystal to you in detail, but as long as Your Highness does as I say, you will definitely be able to obtain the Divine Brilliance Crystal," Miriam said with a smile.
Like a cunning fox.
As she said, Theresa does indeed need a Divine Brilliance Crystal, and to obtain it, she can only obey Miriam.
Although the crystal that Miriam chose was small, it was still too big for Theresa.
When I put it in my mouth, I could clearly feel my tongue being pressed down tightly, and I even felt a little gag.
Then, a strange force sealed Theresa's mouth shut, preventing her from swallowing or spitting out anything, leaving her only able to stare blankly at Miriam.
Theresa: "???"
"Close your eyes. With your closeness to my god, you should be able to contact him easily," Miriam said softly, and a mysterious force made Theresa close her eyes.
I can't open my eyes.
Theresa knew perfectly well that she was still in the game, so she remained relatively calm, but the loss of sight still made her feel a little panicked.
"Feel it carefully, guide it carefully, bring out your own holy light power, and then silently recite the Divine Cult Prayer to infuse the power of the holy light into the crystal shell."
In the boundless darkness, his hearing keenly picked up Miriam's words.
Divine Cult Prayer?
I don't know!
Theresa wanted to say something, but couldn't.
However.
A golden flash appeared in the darkness, like a star hanging in the sky. Theresa could only move towards the light based on her senses.
Suddenly, a beam of white light descended.
The dark space suddenly became bright and clear.
Under divine power, Theresa lost her senses.
I don't know how much time had passed when I heard Miriam's excited voice.
"I was right, Your Highness, your energy recharge speed far surpasses that of others! It's amazing! This is truly a gift from the gods!"
Theresa gradually came back to her senses from the dazzling light.
All the light began to fade, returning to the original darkness.
Theresa slowly opened her eyes and found herself still inside the original cathedral.
"I..."
Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, countless drops of saliva slid down from the corners of his mouth, and a crystal that shone with golden light also fell out of his mouth.
Theresa was dumbfounded.
What was originally an empty crystal has now become a consumable item called [Divine Brilliance Crystal].
Theresa: "???"
No, how did you become Divine Brilliance Crystal?
This is so weird!
"Your Highness, only an hour has passed, and you've already perfectly crafted a Divine Brilliance Crystal! You should know that an ordinary believer can only craft three a day!"
Miriam's face was slightly flushed, not from drinking, nor from shyness.
It was because seeing Theresa made my heart pound uncontrollably.
