Chapter 430: My Childhood Sweetheart Has the Potential to Become a King

Inside the church on the dragon's back.

Dorothy and Dinisha carried the unconscious Adam into the church. Then the Home Witch roughly checked the situation of this priest father and couldn't help but frown.

Good news: Adam was not in any life-threatening danger; he just needed to rest well for a while and would wake up soon.

Bad news: This father, who seemed to be a hidden big shot, seemed to have been banned.

Because most occult knowledge was blocked, Dorothy couldn't be sure what Adam's situation was now, but based on the small amount of basic common sense retained, it seemed he had been backlashed by his own power.

Priest Adam was not a mage, but a holy practitioner who used Holy Light as power. The power of such clergy members came entirely from the gift of the gods. Naturally, such power could be given to you, and naturally, it could be taken back. Even as long as you maintained this connection of faith, the gods could use this to monitor you, or even more ruthlessly, directly detonate the power within you remotely, letting you explode on the spot.

Adam seemed to clearly know this point, so as soon as he escaped danger, he took the initiative first, very decisively abandoning his faith and severing the connection with the original Lord of Radiance he believed in.

In layman's terms, he forcibly disconnected from the network.

This way, he didn't have to worry about being remotely controlled by the church later, but at the same time, he now not only suffered the mental backlash of abandoning his faith but also lost the source of his power.

After all, unlike a mage's power which comes from their own meditation and cultivation, the power of clergy members all comes from the gods. They cannot condense the power of Holy Light themselves; they need to provide devout faith, and the gods process this faith into the power of Holy Light, and finally feed it back to the clergy members.

In other words, once he abandoned his faith, Adam also lost the replenishment channel for the power of Holy Light.

Although Mr. Priest still had some Holy Light power left in his body now, this little bit of power was truly used up a little bit every time it was used. If he used it sparingly, he should be able to make a few more moves, but after using it up, he would completely lose his power.

"Ah this, I was thinking I could hug a big thigh and lie down to win this time, but the thigh suddenly became a limited-time experience card."

Dorothy thought with some disappointment.

Then she turned her head to look at Miss Dinisha beside her, who hadn't fully recovered from the previous sudden event.

If this God King had already awakened, then Adam's problem would be quite easy to solve. After all, Angel Witches, like angels, have the power to purify faith power into Holy Light power.

It's just...

Forget it, even if Dinisha really awakened, the starting point would only be a witch with blank-slate talent, and it's impossible to start as an Angel Witch directly.

If she wanted to evolve into an Angel Witch later, they would have to find an angel first, then tie it back to study it carefully, obtain the angel's talent template, and then they could use the witch's evolution power to replicate it. This was simply not a job that could be completed in a day or two.

Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

"In the end, this still has to rely on myself. Others are indeed unreliable."

Dorothy sighed and then accepted her fate.

She ran directly to her room, and then in the cellar...

Alright, now the whole church was carried on the back of this giant dragon, and she didn't know if it could still be called a cellar. In short, she went to that Witch's Happy Room and hugged a pile of magic classics back.

Time is life now; there is no time for her to slowly develop in the shadows, she can only force her way through. She should at least master one or two spells for self-preservation.

Didn't she still have about 100 Mana of mage magic power in her body? Although the power was weak, it couldn't be wasted.

It's just...

"Dorothy, what should we do next? Is there anything I can help with?"

When the Home Witch came back with the classics, preparing to start cramming at the last minute, Miss Dinisha, who had finally recovered from the successive changes, asked somewhat at a loss.

She was just an ordinary village shepherd girl, but she was almost burned as a witch, and in despair, she was suddenly hijacked from the execution ground by the priest and her childhood sweetheart. Even the familiar church she was in was now carried by a giant dragon that originally only existed in myths and legends, soaring in the sky.

Such continuous divine developments were really a bit too stimulating for a village girl with little knowledge. That she could still forcibly calm down and ask logically was already considered quite good quality.

"Uh..."

Being watched by this future God King, honestly, even someone as big-hearted as Dorothy felt a lot of pressure.

She was a bit unsure how to face this "childhood sweetheart."

After all, the Home Witch knew very well that everything now was just an illusory dream constructed by the Witch's Night. Who knew if the consciousness of the real God King was observing all this in secret? If she was disrespectful to Miss Dinisha now, what would happen if the God King kept a little book on her?

But she couldn't really treat this childhood sweetheart with the etiquette of meeting the Witch King; that would be too meta, and it felt weird.

Hmph, was she, Dorothy, the kind of bootlicking dog who would bow to power?

Impossible, even if the target was the God King, she was too lazy to lick.

After thinking for a moment, the Home Witch scratched her head and finally decided to follow the plot and temporarily enter the identity of the God King's childhood sweetheart.

"Aren't you going to ask what happened before?"

Dorothy asked back.

She was referring to how she and her old man killed those Witch Hunters before, and that her old man was a hidden big shot.

"Asking too much about the past is useless. These can be asked later. The most critical thing now is what to do in the future. Mr. Priest has always taught us to look forward, hasn't he?"

The initial loss only lasted for a very short time. Dinisha quickly calmed down completely. This shepherd girl looked at Dorothy seriously and said so.

And such a reaction made the Home Witch look at her again.

Good guy, those who can become big shots are indeed not ordinary people. This psychological quality is truly powerful.

Dorothy sighed in her heart.

If she were really a normal village girl, facing the current situation, even if she didn't collapse and scream, she would at least cry and shut herself in. But this Miss Dinisha calmed down at the first opportunity, not dwelling on the past, but choosing to face the future. Such a character really didn't look like what a village shepherd girl should have.

However, recalling Miss Dinisha's bumpy life experience, the Home Witch sighed again.

Poor children grow up early; perhaps she had long been accustomed to the hardships of life.

"Then let's work hard to become stronger. Next, we will likely face the church's pursuit. Be prepared to welcome bitter days, Dinisha."

Dorothy thought for a while, then divided her magic classics in half for Miss Shepherd Girl.

"Start learning. Mr. Priest cannot protect us for too long. We need to obtain our own power as much as possible."

Dinisha didn't say much. She took those magic classics without a word and started reading directly.

Although she was a village girl, she was not illiterate. This was thanks to Mr. Priest's kindness, allowing her to learn characters with Dorothy in the past.

Mr. Priest even thought about letting other children in the village learn to read together, but unfortunately, the villagers didn't think it was necessary. In the villagers' view, if they had the effort to learn, it would be better to let the children help with farm work at home.

At first, Dinisha actually thought so too. Her family conditions were poor, and she should spend more time helping her mother with work and sharing her mother's worries.

But ultimately, because of her mother's persistence and her gratitude to Mr. Priest, Dinisha barely followed along to learn.

However, as she learned more characters, she gradually understood the importance of knowledge. If nothing else, after learning to read, she felt she had become much smarter. Those other peers in the village were simply as stupid as incomplete monkeys in her eyes.

Oh, now they were not even as good as monkeys.

Recalling that she was almost burned as a witch, Dinisha was still a bit angry. Those idiots actually put her, a local, on the stake just because of a few words from some outsiders. How stupid was this? Didn't they have brains?

No, perhaps the truly stupid one is me.

Miss Shepherd Girl was silent for a moment, then thought to herself.

Those so-called fellow villagers probably didn't really believe the Witch Hunters' nonsense; it was just that it wasn't cost-effective to offend the Witch Hunters for a shepherd girl who was dispensable anyway.

The past her was focused on working hard to save money, and then leaving this village filled with ignorance and backwardness, because these villagers had bullied and excluded her mother. She hated everything in the village from the bottom of her heart and never thought about getting along with these villagers.

On the surface, the village excluded her, but in reality, she herself had pushed the village aside.

Then what reason did she have now to blame the villagers for not believing in her and not protecting her?

When Mr. Priest gave her and Dorothy lessons in the past, he had repeatedly emphasized that the biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans learn and will grow in wisdom and experience with the improvement of experience.

Failure is not terrible; what is terrible is repeating the same failure.

The past Dinisha didn't have such a profound understanding of this sentence, but now, she was thoughtful.

From this experience of almost being burned to death, she had realized a profound truth, which is that if you want to gain the respect and attention of others, you must first show your value.

Therefore, after the initial panic, Dinisha acted immediately. She no longer dwelled on the past, but chose to face the future.

This time it was Dorothy and Mr. Priest who were kind, which saved her, but she should understand that counting on others to always be kind is unrealistic and stupid. She needed to show her value, at least not become a burden to Dorothy and Mr. Priest.

Dinisha naturally understood that Dorothy and Mr. Priest were both good people, but you couldn't treat people's kindness as a sucker.

Moreover, Mr. Priest and Dorothy were her benefactors, but now they were forced to flee because of her involvement. If she couldn't do anything for them now, Dinisha's conscience would be uneasy.

It's just that Miss Shepherd Girl also knew that it would be very difficult for her to help Mr. Priest and Dorothy with anything now, but just because she couldn't now didn't mean she couldn't in the future. And even if it was just small favors like serving tea and water, she needed to do something immediately, otherwise the huge guilt would make her unable to sleep or eat.

It's just that Dorothy actually let her read books, which was truly beyond Dinisha's expectations. Now they were fleeing for their lives; was this the time to read books leisurely?

Dinisha was confused like this at first, but she didn't ask too much. After all, there was no reason to make a scene with her benefactors. Anyway, now that the benefactor told her to do something, she would just do it.

It's just that when Dinisha opened these books with confusion, she widened her eyes immediately. Although she couldn't understand some of it, she still realized quickly that what was recorded in these books was nothing else, but the legendary witchcraft.

As a former devout fanatic, although her faith collapsed when she was tied to the stake, she still subconsciously wanted to throw away the witchcraft classics in her hand. After all, these things were evil objects in God's teachings.

But she looked up at Dorothy, then looked at the unconscious Mr. Priest, and then silently lowered her head again.

Hmm, the second lesson of this accident: when others accuse you of being a witch, you had better be one.

If she were really a witch and controlled witchcraft, then facing the accusation, she at least wouldn't be as helpless as before, and even less would she involve Mr. Priest and Dorothy like this now.

After figuring this out, Dinisha lowered her head and started reading these magic classics seriously, even a bit thirstily.

She didn't ask why Dorothy had these "unclean" witchcraft classics, nor did she ask if this sister who grew up with her was a witch. After all, these didn't have much meaning.

They were pressed for time now and didn't have the effort to waste on irrelevant explanations and questioning. Just as Dorothy said before, they must find a way to master enough power to protect themselves as soon as possible.

She only needed to understand that Mr. Priest and Dorothy were her benefactors, had no malice toward her, and could be trusted. Understanding this was enough.

Thus, Dinisha quickly entered a state of learning.

And on the other side, the Home Witch, who was reading books while distracted by observing the reaction of this childhood sweetheart, was also stunned. Then she sighed again that a big shot is indeed a big shot. Even in the childhood stage, this quality is truly terrifying.

Even she herself was only calm on the surface at this time, but in fact, she was more or less panicked in her heart, but the Miss Dinisha opposite was truly calm.

Tsk, my childhood sweetheart really has the potential to become a king.

Dorothy sighed in her heart, and then perhaps infected by this "big shot's calmness," her mood quickly calmed down, and she started reading these magic classics quickly.

And with the injection of this magic knowledge, the wonderful inspiration in her mind also started to become active.

Hehe, don't think that sealing my magic knowledge can make me powerless. Do you understand the gold content of a Forest Witch? Give me some basic knowledge, and I will create a whole set of magic systems for you from scratch.
