Chapter 91

Magic-Sealing Nun, specializing in killing mages!

"The Magic Power consumption rate is acceptable, barely enough."

Shadow Stealth consumes Magic Power continuously. At lower levels, Magic Power is scarce, so it can't last long. However, the Silent Nun is a five-star Magic Power growth class, so it's enough if you use it sparingly.

"The equipment is really shabby. Shally's class-specific weapon is much better."

Sigh, my first wife turned out to be worse than my Second Wife after all this time. I'm not the kind of person who gets bored easily, so my feelings are really complicated... O(∩_∩)O haha, my feelings are so complicated.

Ryan closed the attribute page, letting 'Lin Qi' continue to AFK.

This is an endless desert.

Lin Qi, dressed in gray and wearing a hood, walked silently forward.

Not knowing where to go or how long the journey would take, this was one of the challenges in the Saintess Assessment.

Anyone participating in the Saintess Assessment must enter this Inner World and find the 'miracle'.

Without any hints or shortcuts, according to Pope Lilvia, this Inner World is a remnant from ancient times, containing information about Janus.

Those who are chosen and qualified to become Saintess will be guided to find miracles.

Therefore, the process of selecting the Saintess of Gate of Janus is also known as a humanized 'divine selection,' sending people to the place where the gods exist. If the gods are satisfied, they will naturally turn their attention to her.

'I can sense the power left behind by Janus here.'

'But there seems to be some other power lingering? Is it just my imagination?'

The scene shows Lin Qi's inner monologue. She walks in one direction, showing no signs of being lost in the desert, as if she has made up her mind.

Ryan wasn't surprised. As for the profession of the Silent Nun, these 'messengers of the gods' who have been passed down from ancient times and walk among mortals, if they couldn't even pass the first test of the Saintess Assessment, he would directly file a complaint!

What a terrible game company!

"Come to think of it, this place looks a lot like the place where I changed jobs back then."

It was the same desert, and there was nothing else to see.

Thinking about this, he was a little depressed recently, because the absorption of the Soul Jade seemed to have reached its limit, which meant that he should have reached the limit of First Tier Transcendent, but he did not feel any progress.

According to Jonathan, those Supernatural Being will have a sense of it, and they can break through by taking Magic Potion to further stimulate their professional potential.

However, Ryan's situation seemed a bit special. He felt that the Magic Power in his body had reached a relatively saturated state, but he could not advance. For this reason, he had even tried a little bit of second-tier Mana Potion, but... the effect was that he just drank it and that was it, without splashing a single drop of water.

Ryan suspected that he was being targeted by the gods of this world.

Fortunately, I have many Alts, and my first Second Wife are already at Tier 3, so I don't need to worry about safety issues when using Character Card for the time being.

When I'm bored, playing games is always more interesting than the scenery outside the window.

Ryan leaned back in his chair, had his men bring him a pot of black tea and a snack, and sat down to eat slowly while watching the show.

About an hour later, 'Lin Qi' climbed to a high desert slope, where a pyramid-like ruin could be seen standing at the edge of the horizon.

'That is the miracle of Janus, the place I must go.'

'However, I'm a little curious about what that other power actually is...'

'Lin Qi' did not head towards the miracle, but instead went in another direction.

Ryan stroked his chin.

He had no intention of interfering with 'Lin Qi', and was somewhat curious about this other force.

Logically, since this is the site of Janus Divine Site, there shouldn't be any other elemental forces present.

Lin Qi seemed unable to pinpoint the source of that power, so she continued her journey silently through the desert.

One hour, three hours, five hours...

"Yawn~(_ _)( -. - )(~O~)"

"Looks like it won't be that easy to find. Good luck, my dear wife. I'm going to sleep now."

Night had fallen, and watching 'Lin Qi' still walking in the desert, Ryan closed the game interface and went to sleep.

Nothing was said that night.

The next day, 'Lin Qi' was still searching.

Ryan, fully aware of his first wife's stubborn nature, didn't bother with her. With her talent, finding Janus's miracle would be a piece of cake; passing the level was the minimum guarantee, and finding anything else would be an unexpected bonus.

"Gruk, where's the train?"

Ryan asked during breakfast.

"We've just passed through Knia territory, and we'll be at Cherd in two more days."

"It'll take another two days."

"Yes, this is already the fastest train."

Gruk didn't think much of it, after all, trains are much faster than horse-drawn carriages, right? But for Ryan, who had ridden high-speed trains and airplanes, this thing was now like the difference between a tortoise and a hare. Even if a hare loves to sleep, it is still faster than a tortoise.

After reviewing the daily lives of each character, Ryan finally focused the screen on 'Lin Qi's' interface, then lay down and watched 'TV'.

Although there's not much to see in the desert, at least I have a first wife, right? I was too busy before and didn't pay attention to 'Lin Qi', but I have nothing to do these past two days, so I'm taking the time to catch up.

And so I just watched it all day.

"Lin Qi, why don't we give up? If we can't find it, we can't find it. Maybe it's just our imagination."

Ryan witnessed once again just how stubborn 'Lin Qi' was.

"Oh, right."

He suddenly remembered that tonight might be the time of Thomas's attack, but he was too busy watching 'Lin Qi' climb mountains and wade through rivers.

Switching to the 'Vainay' character interface, what comes into Ryan's view is a scene of battle devastation—corpses scattered everywhere, their flesh as red as blood.

In the main courtyard of the castle, elite Soul Swordsmen are wreaking havoc!

'Vainay' walked through the battlefield as if strolling in a garden, singing as she went, creating a special zone around her. All attackers who entered this zone were affected by her singing.

Bang! Bang bang!

'Soul Singer never hesitates to use bullets to ferry souls.'

To deal with these ordinary people, 'Vainay' did not use the Staff of Withering, but instead used the Silver Wings.

Although it's only a Tier 1 weapon, it's still an instant kill when it hits an ordinary person. It uses the power of words to influence the enemy's mind and then sends them to the Styx with bullets—this is the way the Soul Singer 'Vainay' ferries them across.

Elegant and composed, embracing death in the gentle melody; rest assured, pain is normal.

The battle lasted for a few minutes before it was almost over. 'Vainay' handed the battlefield over to the soldiers and Soul Swordsmen, and led an elite Soul Swordsman through the crowd to a shady spot outside the castle.

Then, through mental exploration, they located Thomas, who was hiding in the shadows.

"It really was this guy... Tch~ boring."

Ryan shook his head.

Although 'Vainay' hasn't advanced yet, it's more than enough to deal with ordinary attackers. Moreover, the Soul Singer's Word of Power ability is a wide-range crowd control skill, making it basically top-tier for a support class.

As expected, the battle went smoothly. 'Vainay' had the Soul Swordsman take Thomas, who was so scared he was about to wet his pants, to the castle dungeon. Through mental hypnosis, she interrogated him and revealed the real culprit— the Count Lanster.

Ryan had Gruk deliver a map, which led him to the location of Count Lanster's territory. The Earl's territory was also in the Southern Territory, but in the southwest direction, not far from Kels City. The entire territory almost cut the Southern Territory in two, with Berman City to the south.

"Is this a plan to blockade the Southern Territory? To stifle the development of Caslathdi?"

Ryan stroked his chin. The other party's intentions were not hard to guess. It was probably either the Second Prince or the Fourth Prince who did it.

The reason for suspecting the Fourth Prince is that Thomas is quite generous, which is very much in line with the Fourth Prince's style.

However, he didn't have the energy to deal with this matter for the time being, so he just left it to 'Vainay' to handle. After all, a mere earl wasn't worth Master Ryan's time to deal with.

When I switched back to the character 'Lin Qi', a message popped up—

[You walk across a desolate desert, suddenly sensing something. Following the path of an unknown force, you use the power of Janus to unlock a corner of an old secret.]

In the scene, the original desert landscape of red sand and gold suddenly changed.

The sky darkened, the pale moon hung in the sky, and a lake appeared in the desert, with a lone boat and a person sitting on it.

'Who are you?'

Lin Qi stood on the shore and shouted to the people on the boat.

There was no response.

Where am I?

There has still been no response.

Lin Qi looked down and suddenly saw that the moon's reflection in the water was not its actual shape, but rather something that looked like a fragment.

The moon's reflection was right next to the ship. 'Lin Qi' had her demon spirit drag her over. At that moment, the people on the ship turned around and glanced at her.

The image was blurry, and Ryan couldn't see it clearly either; there was only a mosaic over the face.

But it is clear that it is a woman, wearing a platinum robe and with golden hair, looking very sacred.

"What's going on?"

Ryan was a little confused; Janus's miracle space was far too strange.

But the man only glanced at it and quickly turned his head away.

'It's been in the water for many years.'

A gentle female voice rang out.

Water.

Lin Qi looked down at the lake. The fragment-like object was right at her feet. She reached out to grab it, but couldn't. Of course, it would be problematic if she could grab it; it's like a flower in a mirror or the moon in the water—that's how the saying goes.

'What is it?'

'Something belonging to an old friend.'

How can I get it?

She asked the other person.

'You're not the one it's waiting for.'

'Who is that?'

The woman remained silent for a long time.

'The Baalshatt of the Gods.'

'Balshatt?'

'Little one, you have great talent, but this isn't the place for you. You should go somewhere else.'

The woman suddenly waved her hand, and Lin Qi's vision blurred. When she came to her senses again, she was already outside the Janus Divine Site.

You heard the echo of time and space.

"Emmm..."

Ryan was a little confused about what was going on.

But he had heard the name 'Baalshatt of the Gods' when he changed jobs.

"Are you talking about me?"

Feeling like he'd been tricked, Ryan turned his attention back to the game interface. He saw 'Lin Qi' ascending the steps of the miracle, eventually reaching the very top.

Above is an altar, surrounded by array patterns, with a stone basin in the center.

As she walked over, the array beneath her feet was gradually illuminated, and the power belonging to Janus's authority continuously gathered, eventually condensing into a translucent bead in the stone basin.

Gilded Stone Bead

Quality: None

[Effect: Unknown]

[Description: A mysterious bead embodying the power of Janus.]

The task of the Saintess Assessment was to bring this bead back, which means that 'Lin Qi' has now completed the task.

It happened quickly and smoothly, completely contradicting what High Priestess Liya had said: 'Countless examinees fell at the first hurdle.'
