Sherlock Holmes is not a warp god.

"Stay put, it's fate," Fren felt like he was about to be stabbed at any moment.

In an instant, Fren's wariness of the fat man reached its peak.

With his eyes fixed on the bishop before him, Furen's flesh manipulation was already in full swing. If there was anything amiss in the identification entries, Furen wouldn't hesitate to strike first.

As I said before, what good stuff can you expect from something that's being pushed so hard to sell?

The hasty initiation test at the beginning made Furen frown. Only after observing the children repeatedly and confirming that their living conditions were not bad did Furen feel relieved and reluctantly classify this natural church as trustworthy.

"Why did you choose me?" Instead of asking about the salary, Furen asked another question.

With a large number of followers, the Church of Nature is never short of people.

What is it about oneself that would be worthy of a bishop's attention?

Furen considers himself to be an ordinary person. Even with some talent, he can't make a splash in this world full of geniuses and blessings.

"Your eyes tell me you are at peace." Bishop Bandok looked at Fren and explained his reasons: "You do not crave power like other nobles, nor do you struggle for a living like ordinary people due to your privileged background. Moreover, thanks to your education, you do not indulge in unrestrained pleasure."

This is precisely the state most suitable for proceeding on the path of the God of Nature.

"I can see the power of a loving father within you, but your spirituality tells me that sooner or later you will be blessed by the God of Nature."

As a bishop of the righteous gods, Bandok didn't show much emotion when discussing evil gods.

Hearing his words, Fren had to admit that Bandok had a really good eye for people.

To put it simply, Fren's personality is characterized by laziness and procrastination.

Unless someone actively seeks out thrills like Sherlock, the Holmes family name is enough to shield Fren from 90% of any malice.

Among those who actively sought trouble, there was Mycroft.

This elder brother is quite attentive to his younger brother. He can easily nip any potential danger in the bud.

To be honest, with his position as the eldest brother, Fren's future is practically guaranteed. Even against threats from the mystical side, Mycroft can shield Fren from the vast majority.

Growing up in such a sheltered environment, Fren didn't become a useless person; this is truly due to his gentle nature. The other extreme of Fren is Sherlock, whose past comfort fostered an antisocial personality, driven by a desire for thrills like walking a tightrope.

"The God of Nature does not like to force things. When you are willing to accept the God of Nature's blessing, you can then choose to accept the extraordinary profession of entering the Church of Nature."

This is a major characteristic of the God of Nature: whenever other righteous or evil gods see you, regardless of your wishes, blessings will descend from heaven, awakening new abilities in you.

The blessings of the God of Nature can be refused. No matter how many times one is refused, the God of Nature will grant a new opportunity at the right time. Because of this, the God of Nature is known as the most forgiving deity.

Bishop Bandok asked Fren to wait a moment, then went to fetch a book himself, knowledge that only senior believers could access.

Francessoko Holmes—this name guarantees that Floren's character is beyond reproach.

Furthermore, given how well-suited Fren is to the path of the God of Nature, paying a small price—a mere trifle of knowledge to the Church of Nature—could be a perfect investment if Fren could be recruited into the Church of Nature later, based on this goodwill.

When Bishop Bandok handed the book to Fren, he smiled and said, "You can study its contents with confidence. Like the God of Nature and the Father, the awakened abilities of the God of Nature are generally rooted in the essence of life. Studying its contents will not affect your future path."

When Freun left the Church of Nature, he was carrying this book. It contained only a few dozen pages.

This was the first time Freun had truly come into contact with systematic transcendental knowledge.

Secrets of Nature I

Sitting in the driver's seat, Furen didn't rush to drive away. Instead, he turned to the first page, still quite curious about its contents.

"A profession is just a summary of one's abilities. Just like a farmer, only when he has learned to turn the soil, sow seeds, water the plants, and harvest the crops can he be considered a true farmer."

"The same applies to extraordinary professions; one needs to master multiple abilities to become a true extraordinary individual..."

This cleared up Furen's doubts; the extraordinary profession is just the outward appearance, the key is the extraordinary ability as the core.

Even among farmers, some grow grains and some grow fruits and vegetables; the key lies in true ability.

The combination of multiple abilities, and the continuous refinement of one's mind in the process, is the core of an extraordinary profession.

My companion, always remember not to stray from your own heart.

This is the last sentence on the first page.

Your profession isn't the most important thing; how far you go depends entirely on the strength of your mind.

Like a benevolent father's blessing, awakened flesh-based abilities can incite greed in the human heart, leading to unrestrained possession. Once one embarks on the path of the extraordinary, one will be subject to all sorts of temptations due to various instincts.

In a world where the strength of will determines the power of awakening, the path of the Church of Nature is unique. The Church of Nature does not pursue extreme emotions, but rather seeks a balance.

In other words, those who follow the path of the nature god will not be very powerful.

Balance is mediocrity; this is how other churches and cultists view the Church of Nature.

Mediocre as it may be, no matter how you compare them, they are still compared to other extraordinary individuals.

However, once you enter the path of the Natural Church, you are no longer in the same world as ordinary people.

Given the extremely low entry barrier, it's only natural that the church has the most believers.

Furen continued flipping through the pages and discovered that the book mainly introduced methods for cultivating certain abilities, but did not mention how to combine these abilities into extraordinary professions.

There are five extraordinary abilities in total, and Bishop Bandok is quite generous to give them to himself, a mere passerby.

The first ability was very familiar to Furen: Flesh-type [Self-Healing].

The book states directly that this is something every extraordinary person must learn.

Even a rudimentary form of self-healing can be extremely effective. A stab wound to the heart, even if it cannot heal through self-healing, can prolong the time before death.

Whether it lasts for 1 minute or half an hour, there's a huge difference.

A slightly more advanced skill level allows it to play a greater role in combat, greatly increasing survivability.

Furen skipped over this ability; he could regenerate severed limbs without any training. His innate self-healing ability was simply amazing.

Continue flipping through the pages; the next four abilities are [Endurance Enhancement], [Sound Waves], [Mental Perception], and [Ripple].

The last [ripple] was pinned to the back page; it was probably Bandok's personal addition.

It was a small favor, and Fren noted it down.
