Don't call me evil god

Chapter 27 Lowering the Barrier
At first, Pete thought that this was different treatment from the God of Knowledge, and that he and Lena were treated differently.

After thinking about it, I realized it.

"Oh, no."

He learned several spells, and among them, [Thirst of Hada] was because his life was in danger. With the help of his survival potential, he did not think too much and succeeded in one try.

Later in the interrogation room of the police station, he learned the spell of [Knowing True Name] which was not complicated and this non-offensive spell in just one try.

Later, whether it was [Arcane Missiles] or the divine spells of the God of Justice, he never failed and was successful every time.

The so-called practice progress is to enable people to know where they failed this time and how far they are from success.

If you have no failure experience and succeed in one try, of course you don’t need to see any progress bar!

That’s okay!

Now Pete even felt a little uncomfortable with the feeling of learning something quickly.

When he believed in the goddess of magic in the past, his path of practice was full of ups and downs!
Because the Goddess of Magic is not as generous as the God of Knowledge, who is willing to break down a spell and reveal all its mysteries and details clearly.

At that time, if Pete wanted to master a spell, he would often have to spend a lot of time and experience many failures for which he could not find the reason.

Now he has the god of knowledge, Novan, as his faith.

Spell?

That's not something you can learn in one go!

Just have some hands!

Because he had actually been caught in the rain before, Pete could truly feel how important the help provided by the God of Knowledge to believers was.

Over the course of one night, Pete witnessed Reina's training process.

At first, Reina could only barely make her body become illusory for a moment, and could not achieve the effect of [Stealth] at all;

Later, the blurring effect became better and better, and if you didn't look carefully, you would hardly be able to find the other person's position.

Finally, when the dawn appeared on the horizon, Reina was able to use the power of the gathered shadows to make her body completely transparent and illusory, blending completely into the surrounding environment to the point where it could not be distinguished by the naked eye.

After a night of practice, Reina was delighted to see her progress. She happily shared her experience with Pete:
"Mr. Pete, the God of Knowledge told me that 70% of the progress has been completed."

"When I can maintain the stealth effect while moving, I will have succeeded in my practice!"

Pete smacked his lips.

This efficiency was still a bit surprising even though he had expected it.

It is very difficult for an ordinary person to take the first step into a career.

This difficulty is not only the difficulty of practice, but also includes various external conditions and channels.

If you want to become a professional, you can't just pray to the corresponding god and then say, "I think this will work," and you will learn the relevant spells, combat skills or divine arts.

If you don’t have the right approach, the truth is, it will be difficult to succeed even if you work hard for your entire life.

The formal method requires going to the corresponding church, college, or training ground, and then paying a considerable fee as "tuition", and there is also a limit on the number of places available for a period of time.

There are church deacons who are responsible for leading the way and arranging special places, providing various precious items to assist in practice.

The most important point is that high-level professionals will regularly come to cast divine spells, asking the gods to watch over them and help newcomers become professionals, so as to reduce the difficulty of taking the "first step" as much as possible.

However, the "high fee" that needs to be paid before taking the first step alone will block large numbers of ordinary people.

The Baron Manor of the Pete family is located in a small town near the Dark Forest in the east of the Kingdom of Reyak. An ordinary family in that town, after working hard for a month and deducting various living expenses, can only have a surplus of a dozen silver coins at most.

After saving hard for a year, the savings amounted to just over one Reyak Kingdom gold coin.

Green Port's economy is more developed, and ordinary people in the lower city are better off, but the savings they can save each year are basically within 2 gold coins.

The entry fee for a professional, even the most affordable and cheapest warrior profession, is 5 gold coins. This does not include the expenses for the warrior to exercise, purchase weapons, armor and other necessities.

You know, buying a small house with a yard in Pete's town only costs a dozen gold coins!

If an ordinary family wants to support a professional, the starting price is half a house, and there is no guarantee of success.

This threshold is enough to discourage most ordinary people.

But for the God of Knowledge, the situation has changed dramatically.

The first step in the stealth career path is to fully master the [Stealth] combat skills.

"While moving, the stalker can remain invisible at a distance of 5 meters, and can remain so for at least 1 minute."

If you meet these standards, you will have mastered this fighting skill.

Based on Reina's progress, Pete estimated that she might be able to reach the standard after practicing a few more times!

Did she pay any other costs during this period besides practicing hard?
Absolutely not!

No gold coins are spent!

No guide needed!

The god of knowledge, Nowen, has already taken on the responsibility of guiding the way, and his effect is better than those deacons in the church who are responsible for guiding new members!
The reason why the nobles of the Kingdom of Reyak are superior to the common people, apart from the so-called "bloodline", is that the nobles often have enough property to learn to become a professional.

Common people often can only work day after day and earn little pay to make a living.

The descendants of nobles become professionals, and according to the noble law of the Kingdom of Reyak, they can still become nobles.

The descendants of commoners are still commoners; they are still commoners.

However, the appearance of Nowen, the god of knowledge, seems to break this rule.

Pete was thinking.

With his status, if he wanted to maintain his noble status, he should try his best to curb the spread of the cult of the God of Knowledge.

Otherwise, if commoners could become professionals, they would naturally be named new nobles by the king.

What superiority do the original nobles have?

……

But there was another voice in Pete's heart shouting:

It is true that he is of noble birth, but there are different classes among the nobility!
A small border noble like him could never get into the core aristocratic circles!

The nobles in the royal capital had better family backgrounds and were more powerful than him. When they mentioned the descendants of minor nobles like Pete, they would often say with disdain, "He's from the border."

The gap in all aspects could not be made up by Pete's hard work.

That's why he had the idea of ​​lying down and coming to Green Port to get the certification of a level 3 wizard, then going back to inherit his father's title and live a life of idleness and waiting for death.

However, after gaining strength from Noven through his belief in the God of Knowledge, Pete felt that his mentality was gradually changing.

Just be a level 3 mage and stay at the border in disgrace for the rest of your life?

The channel to gain power was right in front of him!

As long as you work hard, it is within your reach!
An emotion called "ambition" was quietly rising in Pete's heart...

"I think I was too conservative before. Maybe our black market money-making plan can be a little more radical."

Pete raised his head and spoke seriously to Reina who was about to go upstairs to pray in the morning after finishing practice.
