Don't call me evil god

Chapter 25 Stalker Route, but the God of Knowledge

Murphy, the God of Shadow, is a short middle-aged man with a dagger in his hand, a bulging bag on his waist, and a gray-black cloak on his back.

Pete felt a little complicated when he saw how close Reina was to the God of Shadow.

Because the reputation of the God of Shadow...is not very good.

This god is known as the patron saint of thieves, liars, burglars and pickpockets, and provides blessings to those who walk in the dark, making it easier for them to hide, more agile and quicker to move.

It is true that the basic blessing effects are very good, but the problem is that these occupations are not serious professions, and some are even the kind that would be despised by others.

People who believe in other gods are introduced as either devout priests, honorable wizards, or at least experienced hunters and skilled farmers.

What about the followers of the God of Shadows?

"I am a professional thief. My main activity is to go to your homes and steal your valuables."

If you dare to say that in front of people, you’d be considered to have a good temper if you don’t get beaten up!
Although walking on this path can indeed make one become a rated professional, and mortals favored by the Shadow God Murphy can gradually gain the ability to control the shadows, blend into the shadows, and become a stealth walker in the darkness, but the reputation of stealth is still not high.

Pete looked at the girl Reina who was kneeling quietly in the middle of the ritual circle.

Although she had no exquisite ornaments on her body and her clothes were very simple, just like an ordinary girl's outfit. Her slightly old clothes were washed very cleanly, and she was dressed very neatly.

It is really hard to associate the other person with the thief and the scammer who breaks into houses and picks locks.

She looks like a sunny, cheerful, enthusiastic and simple girl, so why does she have such a high affinity with the God of Shadow?

In Pete's impression, those guys who believed in the God of Shadows were all sneaky and shifty, which was completely different from the feeling Rena gave him.

After waiting for the entire talent detection spell to be completed, the majestic atmosphere of the God of Justice slowly dissipated in the underground wine cellar. Pete told the girl Reina about her talents in all aspects:

"That's the way it is."

"If you want to become a rated professional, the most suitable one for you is the God of Shadow. You can embark on the path of a stealth warrior."

"You have a very high affinity with the Shadow God Murphy. Let's put it this way, if you choose this path, you have the potential to reach the 6th level and become a legend."

"But... the path of the God of Shadow may not be so popular. As your strength increases, you may be rejected by more and more people and forces. You will become more and more lonely, and can only be accompanied by shadows."

Pete knew that unless they had special permission, followers of the God of Shadow above level 3 were prohibited from entering the Starosh area of ​​the Reyak royal city.

There are similar regulations in Green Port. If a follower of the God of Shadows with a level 3 rating wants to enter Green Port, he must register relevant information and carry a device that can locate him at any time.

If he sneaks in secretly and is discovered, it will be assumed that he is planning a crime, and both the Reyak Kingdom Palace and Green Port will ask local high-level professionals to work together to capture him.

The stealth career path has extremely powerful concealment capabilities and short-term burst capabilities. If someone is caught off guard, it is possible to seize the opportunity and bypass several rating levels to complete an assassination.

You can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but there is no way to guard against a thief in a thousand days.

The final choice of most forces is to simply keep a distance from the believers of the God of Shadows, and it is best not to let them get close to them.

"Because the followers of the God of Shadows are not so popular, their church bases are often very secretive."

"At least I don't know where to find a guide to take you on the path of a professional."

"So, it's up to you to decide whether or not to choose this path." Pete spread his hands, signaling Lena to consider it herself.

Reina looked a little confused: "But, Mr. Pete..."

"It was the God of Knowledge who guided me in the professional talent test. You also said that the God of Knowledge once taught you magic. If that's the case, why can't I ask the God of Knowledge to give me guidance again and let Him be my professional guide?"

Pete first subconsciously explained: "Because there are only a few professional routes, only the power of the recognized gods can allow mortals to embark on professional practice... Wait, that's not right!"

"?!"

Pete suddenly reacted.

He fell into the trap of habitual thinking again.

When Reina was doing the talent test, all Pete could think about were the recognized professional routes:
Mage, ranger, warrior, paladin, priest, rogue, and warlock whose reputation is even worse than rogue.

Just like the mage corresponds to the faith of the goddess of magic, the paladin corresponds to the god of light, and the stealth corresponds to the god of shadow;
Except for warriors who need to train themselves to control their anger and do not need to believe in gods, other professionals who want to obtain the power of their own profession need to be recognized by the corresponding gods and accept trials before they can be promoted.

Pete's thinking is still at this stage.

But Reina's words changed Pete's thinking.

He is a believer of the Goddess of Magic, so he can embark on the path of a wizard, no problem.

He is not a believer in the God of Justice, but he can release divine arts that only believers in the God of Justice can use. This is a big problem!

Previously, Pete had always thought that the power of the God of Knowledge was not as powerful as those of the recognized main gods.

It's just that he is favored more, so he can use this unique new method to complete the wizard's spellcasting.

He thought that he first needed the blessing of the Goddess of Magic before he would have the authority to use the magic network.

Just like, some believers of the Outer Gods also master some special spells granted by the Outer Gods that are not restricted by the magic goddess's spell slots;
However, these people must also be shallow believers of the Goddess of Magic, be wizards blessed by the Goddess, and be able to use the magic net. This is a prerequisite that cannot be circumvented.

If you lose your faith in the Goddess of Magic, the magic web will no longer respond to the caster, and spells that require the magic web to construct spell models will no longer be usable.

The same applies to the divine powers of gods. Becoming their believer is a basic condition, otherwise there is no possibility of using them at all.

But the magic of the God of Justice can also be released by Pete, which undoubtedly breaks this rule!
An idea flashed through Pete's mind.

"Could it be that the power of the God of Knowledge can allow His followers to use the blessings of other gods?!"

"If that's really the case..."

“Reina, you try it. Pray to the God of Knowledge and ask Him to tell you how to practice the Stalker Route!”

Pete's voice was distorted with excitement.
