As a villain, I really can't become stronger anymore

Well, I guess Apu will be very angry, but that has nothing to do with him.

Although I have not known Christian for too long and have spoken very few words, the relationship between the two of them cannot be said to be ambiguous, at least it can be said to be quite close. Ron is not an idiot. When he was in Larnaca City, Christian would occasionally show a girl-like attitude in front of him. You know, as a great saint, it is almost impossible for Christian to show such a look. of.

Of course, Ron is not so confident that he is so charming that he can abduct the Holy Maiden in a few moments, nor is he arrogant enough to think that Christian is attracted to him... To put it bluntly, that's probably the case. The effects of Selios' blessing.

And now that so much time has passed, the impact of Seleos' blessing on Christian should have almost dissipated.

However, even without the influence of Celios' blessing, just because Ron killed Herman, and at the same time helped Christian, allowing Christian to successfully advance to the legendary nine-star level, she should not be stingy in helping.

Speaking of which, the strength of the Forgotten One in front of her, Deina, has always been a mystery.

I think back when Ron was still very weak, Deina seemed to be a low-star hero. Now that he has reached nine-star heroes, Deina seems to have become a low-star legend.

Just like Deina's own existence, her strength is also very easy for people to ignore accidentally. However, as the head of the seven nuns under Christian's command and commanding a large number of nuns, Deina's strength is definitely not as simple as she appears.

Just as Ron was looking at Daina, the Forgotten One was also looking Ron up and down, and his bright eyes were also showing a slight ripple.

The nine-star hero level is only one step away from reaching the legendary level and entering the ranks of true masters in the Twilight Continent.

At the headquarters of the Church of the Dawn Goddess, Deina had seen countless so-called geniuses, but none of them had ever progressed so fast that Deina could not help but feel a little turbulent in her heart.

Moreover, compared to this person's strength, Deina is more concerned about this person's ability to instruct others. Her Majesty the Great Saint just met him once and spoke to him for a few words, and she broke through the shackles of many years. Become a strong man at the pinnacle of legendary level.

This ability is indeed a bit unreasonable.

However, Deina's moral cultivation was very exaggerated. In Ron's opinion, she was not even inferior to Christian. She quickly stabilized the fluctuations in her heart and regained her original calm appearance. When Ron was looking for Christian, he just raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Are you looking for the Great Saint?" Deina, the Forgotten One, seemed a little melancholy: "It's really unlucky for you to come here. Your Highness, the Great Saint, is currently in retreat..."

"Did you go into seclusion at the same time as Valkyrie Arianna a month and a half ago?" Ron asked.

"Sir, you know a lot. Yes, it is said that the Valkyrie Arianna stood in the courtyard that afternoon, staring at the sky until the evening, when she woke up and announced that she would go into seclusion. Little did she know that Her Majesty the Great Saint would have the same reaction."

Ron felt a little headache, and he rubbed his eyebrows: "Go and wake Christian up. Such seclusion is useless. The shackles can never be broken so easily. If it is done forcefully, it may still be broken." Backfired."

shackles?

What shackles?

A trace of doubt suddenly appeared in Deina's mind.

Deina's strength was very strong, and her mental cultivation was also extraordinary. Just that afternoon, Deina also vaguely noticed that there seemed to be something heavy, mysterious and weird under the sky.

Before Saint Christian went into retreat, Deina once asked Saint Christian what she had seen.

As a result, Christian's face was just confused. After being silent for a long time, he could only give a slightly confused answer: I don't know.

Even Christian didn't know what it was, but Ron said straight away that it was shackles? And to put it bluntly, the shackles cannot be easily broken?

Daina did not doubt what Ron said. Just a few words could guide Christian to break through the levels and ascend to the peak of legend. Perhaps in the eyes of the prophet, the world he saw was really completely different from theirs.

After a brief silence, Deina turned around quietly: "Sir, please come with me."

Under the leadership of Deina, Ron successfully entered the church without any obstruction.

After entering the church, the feeling of mystery, solemnity, holiness and light became stronger. Ron looked around and saw countless murals full of religious atmosphere engraved on the snow-white walls of the courtyard. These murals were all miracles left by the legendary goddess of dawn, Ostara.

Among them is Ostara, the rising sun, which splits the darkness of the Dusk Continent and brings light to the world.

Ostara is there to guide the Thirteen Saints.

There is Ostara who incarnates as the Virgin, walks the world, and redeems all people.

These are the legends left by Ostara among her followers.

Most of these legends are false. Of course, this does not mean that Ron doubts Ostara's character, but in Ron's opinion, Ostara probably does not have the time.

However, even if these legends are false, Ron can see that the statue of the goddess at the headquarters of the Church of Dawn, the murals around it, and even the statues of the three hundred and six sages on the courtyard wall have changed over time. , receiving offerings and incense from hundreds of millions of believers over the years, it has become more than just statues and murals. These statues and murals seem to contain some mysterious power.

In every mural, there seemed to be some lines that were only used for decoration. These lines could be the tassels flying on the goddess' skirt, the clouds floating in the sky, or the light emitted by the rising sun... At first glance, they looked messy.

However, if you look at all the murals together, you will find that these seemingly messy lines are actually connected together according to a certain pattern to form an extremely huge magic circle.

This magic circle may be the protective formation of the Church of the Dawn Goddess, and the 360 ​​statues of sages are located in the 360 ​​small formation eyes of the calling formation, and the statue of the goddess Ostara is Located in the very center of the protective formation.

It is worthy of being the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, the most profound among the seven orthodox religions.

This protective formation alone has unimaginable power. If an enemy were to reach the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, they would surely be hit head-on by the protective formation.

Ron didn't know how exaggerated the destructive power of this protective formation was, but he instinctively felt an unusually strong threat from the existence of this protective formation.

Once the protective formation is activated, I am afraid that I will be turned into powder in an instant.

And Ron's gaze also made Deina's beautiful eyes flicker slightly, and she felt a little emotional in her heart. She was worthy of being a prophet, and her eyes were vicious, far beyond what ordinary practitioners could compare to... Even a being who was far more powerful than Ron, It is difficult to notice the existence of the protective formation the first time you enter the headquarters of the Church of Dawn.

Daina did not take Ron into the main church or the sanctuary, but instead took a small path on the left that led to the back of the church headquarters.

The headquarters of the Church of the Dawn Goddess covers an area that is quite large. It can almost be said to be a small city within King Adams City.

Although it was a small path led by Deina, it also seemed extremely long.

This elder nun seemed to be carrying out the will of the Forgotten Ones at every moment. She was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and even her walking speed was neither fast nor slow. The distance between her steps was just the average of a human step.

Looking at Deina's back, Ron felt a little tired.

Ron thought this way, and then subconsciously asked the question in his heart:

"are not you tired?"

"What?" Deina suddenly stopped, turned around, tilted her head and looked at Ron quietly. She seemed a little curious about what Ron meant by this sentence, but in Deina's sight, there was no sense of doubt at all.

Well, since you have already spoken, why not give Deina a sip of chicken soup.

I think back then, with a sip of chicken soup, Agnes was directly promoted from the legendary six-star to the legendary seven-star.

A mouthful of chicken soup allowed Christian to break through to the legendary peak.

In terms of his ability to make chicken soup, he can definitely be regarded as a soup master.

It's hard to say that even if one gulp of chicken soup is poured down, the nun in front of him will be able to advance smoothly... Of course, these are just some of the messy thoughts in Ron's mind. If it were so easy to advance to the legendary realm, he would probably have already achieved it. The legend spread all over the streets.

However, he had experience in the game and knew where Daina's problem lay, so it wouldn't be a big problem.

While thinking in his heart, Ron said: "I mean, Miss Diana, aren't you tired of maintaining this attitude all the time?"

Deina's delicate brows finally knitted together.

For the first time, her eyes revealed some confusion and slight fatigue.

"This is practice..." After being silent for a long time, Deina finally spoke slowly.

The smile on Ron's face became more and more intense: "Then, how long have you been practicing like this? It will be helpful to your strength."

crunch.

Deina's expression became stiff for the first time.

Chapter 288 Apu and the Great Saint’s Marriage Room (4)

The Forgotten is Deina’s title.

At the same time, it also represents the secret method that Daina has practiced in the Church of the Goddess of Dawn for thousands of years. The number of believers who choose to practice this secret method has always been very small.

On the one hand, this is not the orthodoxy of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn.

On the other hand, although your strength will be extremely exaggerated after you reach great success, it is difficult in the early stage and the results are slow.

Just these two points have already determined that most believers will not choose this secret method, and the consequence of no one choosing it is that there is no previous experience to learn from. Deina's practice, except for the initial stage, has entered After reaching the hero level, almost every step of improvement must be explored by herself.

Only Deina herself knows how difficult this is, especially after entering the legendary realm, the speed of entry has once again become slow.

The way of practice that Deina chose, in addition to daily hard work, was to take the word forgetfulness to the extreme and promote the improvement of her own realm through others' neglect and forgetfulness of herself.

This way of practice was not only discovered by Deina herself, but also by Christian's judgment that it might be the most suitable way for her.

But when Ron asked about the effect of practice, Deina's calm face inevitably revealed a hint of bitterness.

I can’t say that the effect is absolutely non-existent, I can only say that it is better than nothing.

"It seems that the effect is not very good." Ron spread his hands: "Actually, this is normal. Although I don't know what kind of secret technique you practice, I can at least tell that this secret technique The effect should be to make people ignore and forget your existence, and the path you choose is to move yourself as close to mediocrity or moderation as possible."

"You feel that the more ordinary an existence is, the less likely it is to be noticed by others, the more likely it is to be ignored, and the easier it is to be forgotten."

Deina nodded. This was indeed her initial consideration, and she has been working hard in this direction.

Ron exhaled slowly and said, "So, your path was wrong from the beginning."

Deina's face turned slightly pale for a moment. The practice method she had insisted on for many years was told that it was wrong. This was a big shock. Even Deina could not maintain her calmness. If the person who said this was an ordinary person, Deina might not care at all, but the person who said these words was a prophet who could help Christian break through to the legendary peak with just a few pointers.

Even the High Nun, the Forgotten One, could not treat the words of the prophet as if they did not exist.

Seeing Deina's expression, Ron spoke again: "Being ordinary is indeed easy to be ignored, but being too ordinary will attract more attention."

"Haven't you noticed that for those who meet you for the first time, you really make it easy for them to forget your existence."

"But for those who gradually become familiar with you, this ordinariness will become meaningless. As they meet you more and more times, their impression of you will become deeper and deeper. There is no doubt that this deepening will be far greater than that of ordinary people. What's more, you have the title of Arch Sister. Nowadays, when the clergy of the headquarters of the Dawn Goddess Church talk about the Arch Sister who looks ordinary and is easily overlooked and forgotten, the first name that comes to their mind is Diena."

"When everyone has a certain specialness, an absolutely ordinary person becomes absolutely different."

"In other words, the path of cultivation you choose now will not only provide little help in increasing your strength, but will even become an obstacle on your path of cultivation."

Boom... click.

Deina's body trembled slightly, and her face turned pale. She never thought that after a long time of thinking, she finally found a path of cultivation that would delay her own strength. The main culprit of growth.

"Of course, Miss Diana is still very young, and it is not too late for her to change her training method now, so you don't need to worry too much."

Deina smiled bitterly: "Sir, you are joking. This secret art called Forgotten has been practiced by very few for thousands of years. There is no previous experience to learn from. Every step of practice is extremely difficult, and every step of the practice is extremely difficult. A way of practice can only be explored gradually by myself. It is so difficult to come up with a brand new way of practice. The little girl is a bit stupid and really can't think of any other better way of practice."

Ron smiled slightly and stared at Deina: "It's actually very simple."

"Don't try to hide your nature and instincts."

"Miss Deina, you have to understand that the Twilight Continent has a history of tens of thousands of years. During this long time, all practitioners who suppress their nature and instinct will not achieve very high achievements in the end, no matter what their practice is. What kind of secret method is it? But once you suppress your own nature and instinct, this kind of suppression will inevitably lead to the practitioner's inability to access his thoughts, and a lot of depression will accumulate deep in his heart. These depressions are what you encounter when you break through the level. Levels, obstacles, and even inner demons.”

"On the path of spiritual practice, just let nature take its course."

"What's more, the Forgotten One...could it be said that the goal of practicing this secret art to the extreme is to make everyone forget, ignore, and not notice your existence?"

"If this secret method really has such an effect, then what's the point of your practice? If you practice to the extreme, no one knows your existence, no one can see your figure or hear your voice. What's the point of your practice? What difference does it make if you die?”

"I believe that no one would create such a secret method that is no different from suicide."

"Perhaps, in fact, you are just overthinking. The real effect of this secret method is just to hide, disguise and assassinate. The founder may just dislike the original name as not high-end and classy enough, so he lost the name "Forgotten". I don’t know the name that sounds very cool.”

Ron's words directly set off a storm in Deina's heart.

Her eyes were wide and dull. With Deina's temperament, she found it hard to digest for a moment. This was equivalent to overthrowing all the goals she had cultivated for so long.

Hiding, disguise, assassination?

Is this the true effect of the secret method of the Forgotten One?

If that's the case, then even if you give him a name like the King of Killers, it would be much better than the Forgotten One, right?

For a moment, Deina was in a state of confusion. Ron's explanation only made Deina feel absurd, but on the other hand, she felt inexplicably that what Ron said seemed to make sense.

Unlike Deina who was in a state of confusion, Ron had a warm smile on his face from beginning to end. He really didn't lie to Deina. The Forgotten was indeed one of the most powerful assassination methods in the game. He was a mage-type assassin. The point was that I could walk up to you with an enchanted dagger in hand and you wouldn't even know I was going to kill you.

"Anyway, there is something wrong with the path of cultivation you have chosen now. Your strength has not improved for a long time. In that case, why not give it a try? What if I really tell you for sure?"

"Even if I am wrong, there is absolutely no harm to you if you don't suppress your instincts and nature and seek to understand your thoughts."

Deina didn't say anything more, but just nodded silently and continued to lead Ron forward. However, Deina was obviously uneasy along the way.

One person even accidentally tripped over the cobblestones sneaking into the ground. If Ron hadn't been quick-sighted and caught Deina in time, this nun, who had a high status in the Church of the Dawn Goddess, would have lost her face. He was about to come into close contact with the uneven ground, and his delicate nose might get crooked.

It seems that Sister Deina should be one of the most disciplined people in the church. When Ron supported Deina and had a brief moment of physical contact, this Sister Like a frightened little rabbit, he jumped very far away.

Such a big reaction made Ron feel quite helpless, making him seem like a notorious thief. Even just holding Deina made the nun feel that his body was defiled, so that Those cheeks were all red.

Ron had no choice but to put a little distance between himself and Deina to prevent the nun from making any more drastic moves.

After several more minutes, a small, low house appeared in front of Ron.

Seeing the wooden house in front of him, which was not shabby but definitely an ordinary one, Ron looked a little strange: "Miss Diana, I guess I said the right thing. I'm looking for Saint Christian."

"Mr. Ron, this is the nun's boudoir."

"It is also the wedding chamber of the Archbishop and the Archdeacon."

Deina seemed to have completely returned to normal: "His Majesty the Great Saint, she has been living here since she became a saint. Of course, Vice Pope Apu has never set foot in this house."
