Xumi: I and the treasure-stealing weasel killed our way through the Church of the Lord

Nashida seemed to have some guesses, but was not very sure.

"How should I put it? If my previous control over the elements is like a powerful outsider forcibly subjugating the local residents, it is not impossible, but it still takes some effort."

"Now, it's like I've gained a formal status from the local government. Even if I don't need to suppress them by force, I can mobilize some residents to work for me."

Perhaps it is because of the saying that birds of a feather flock together. After spending a long time with the Grass God, Lin Feng has also become accustomed to using some metaphors to describe the specific circumstances of the problem.

"Although it doesn't make sense, I roughly know what's going on."

Nashida shook her little feet, jumped off the chair, and moved closer to Lin Feng.

"Don't move, let me make sure."

After she finished speaking to Lin Feng, she gently put her little face close to the boy's chest.

Under Lin Feng's surprised gaze, Nashida's nose moved slightly and she sniffed gently like a cat.

!!!

There was no time to say anything. The moment he saw this scene, he felt all the hairs on his body stand up.

It seemed as if there was an electric current rushing up from my shoulders, flowing through my body in a short period of time, bringing a strange numbing sensation.

Damn it, I’m going to become a weird adult.

"Hmm? What's wrong with you?"

Nashida also found that the boy in front of her was like a squirrel frightened by a bearded tiger, and his whole body suddenly stiffened for no reason.

".Nothing, I don't smell like anything, right?"

Nashida "."

"This is a dream, how can there be a smell?"

"Just because of this?"

".I really don't understand you."

Nashida looked at Lin Feng in front of her and felt speechless about this guy who was sometimes smart and capable, and sometimes unpredictable.

Back to business.

"After my investigation just now, I found that your authority has 'grown'."

The little grass god sat at the table and explained Lin Feng's questions like a teacher in the classroom.

"Just as humans have an infancy, authority will also change depending on who holds it."

"It's similar to the grass and tree authority between me and you."

"In theory, we have the same authority, but the effect I get from using it is much worse than yours."

"Similarly, there are many differences between your dream authority and the way I am used to using it."

Nashida began her detailed explanation as usual.

“Why then does authority grow in certain situations?”

Lin Feng thought about what he had done recently and was not sure which event had caused such a change.

"Theoretically, there can only be one copy of the same authority. I'm not sure where your authority comes from."

"I will explain this to you based on the normal way that authority grows."

Nashida was well aware of Lin Feng’s uniqueness, so she could only try to provide reference for the young man in front of her based on what she knew.

"If I had to summarize it."

"'Faith' and 'integration', these are all the ways of growth known to the Authority."

"Isn't it unexpectedly easy?"

Nashida held up two fingers and shook them slightly, as if to make her words more persuasive.

"'Fusion' was one of the main reasons why many demons with similar powers fought each other during the Demon War."

"You know, not all demon gods are lucky enough to be born with a complete authority with a wide range of powers and great strength."

"Absorbing and accepting the authority that is approaching, and thereby gradually restoring the original and strongest elemental authority, this is the wish of most demon gods."

"And your current changes are obviously not consistent with this situation."

Narcida came to a conclusion.

“So, although the source is a bit strange, you should have gained some faith.”

"From the records of the 'World Tree', it seems that the power of faith is classified as 'human power'. It is mutually exclusive with the elemental power 'light power', but also complementary, and can provide some additional power and growth for the gods."

"And it is not easy to gain faith. Generally, only after several generations of protection can one gain the devout belief of the subordinates."

"But where does this faith come from?"

Nashida, who explained a lot of things, was also a little puzzled by Lin Feng's special situation.

"Hmm wait a minute, let me feel it."

After hearing Nashida's explanation, Lin Feng also had some guesses.

He closed his eyes and began to sense where his so-called "faith" came from.

Calm down and trace back along the authority in your body

Lin Feng seemed to see thin threads constantly strengthening his connection with the world itself.

So where do these thin lines come from?

With doubts in mind, Lin Feng explored the source of these lines.

——Then he saw many familiar faces, including Tinari, and a group of lively cabbages.

Chapter 92 Xiaobai's Creditor

Can this be called faith?

Doesn’t this include people who only have a vague impression of you?

After seeing the sources of his "beliefs", Lin Feng had a very subtle sense of confusion.

Different from the belief in the conventional sense,

For him, it seemed that any 'creature' that had some impression of him and had some kind of intersection with him could produce that kind of mysterious power.

It's just that the power will vary depending on the depth of the impression and the identity of the individual.

For example, Tinari, who possesses the Eye of God and has a good relationship with Lin Feng, the power he can provide alone may be much more than hundreds of people who have only met him once.

And Nashida in front of him was even more heavyweight. Others' were just strings, but Nashida's could at least be considered a 'rope'.

——So this power depends on the number of people I meet during my travels to increase the world's acceptance of me as an "illegal immigrant"?

Lin Feng shared his discovery with Nashida.

As expected, as in the past, he once again saw the confused expression that belonged only to the 'God of Wisdom' - Lin Feng's special edition.

".Do you consider this as 'faith'?"

“What I feel is totally different from what I know.”

After hearing that even she herself could generate such power, Nashida was completely confused.

"Though it's unclear why I can gather this kind of power."

"—but I do have some ideas about what it is."

Lin Feng looked at Nashida, who looked confused, and said with a hint of speculation:

The reason why he made such a guess was because he remembered a person with similar behavior in the plot - that was the traveler himself.

In the game, travelers who participate in events or activities will receive a reward called "raw stone".

This gem is extremely rare and is an important resource that travelers value highly.

Therefore, even if only a small amount of compensation is charged,

As long as there are rough stones in the rewards, travelers are willing to do things that seem very abstract or have an absurdly low cost-effectiveness.

——Here I specifically give you ten stones and ask you to rush into the Hilichurl camp to help a Mondstadt drunkard find the key.

Although there seems to be no such thing as the Rough Stone in the real Teyvat, if the Rough Stone is understood as some kind of concrete "experience", many problems in the plot can be explained clearly.

——What I want is not just the reward, but more the process of establishing connections with others.

Although the traveler in the plot has unstable combat power for some reasons, and is abused by people and monsters every day and is often knocked out, but overall, with the continuous travel, his strength is actually getting stronger.

From the beginning when the slimes were evenly matched, to later when they could participate in the war of gods.

Putting aside the problem of not being able to defeat the soldiers, at least the level of participation in the battle is getting higher and higher.

Lin Feng suspected that he, like the illegal immigrant Traveler, had obtained such an invisible and intangible "bond".

After telling Nashida his guess, Lin Feng found that the little grass god looked thoughtful.

Seeing that the time for Nashida to escape was just around the corner, in a day or two at most, Nashida would have to escape from the seal and perform a show of a god descending to earth for the people of Xumi City.

Naturally, Lin Feng could not continue to let the 500-year-old little Loli sitting opposite him stay out of the matter.

He sorted out his words and said:

"In one or two days at most, you will be released from the seal."

"Next, I will begin to take full control of the entire Xumi and lead the newly reborn Institute of Teachings as a god supported by the people."

"So. Are you ready to live in the sun?"

Lin Feng looked at Nashida with some worry, wondering whether this little girl who had stayed at home for five hundred years had the courage to take the first step towards a new life.

After hearing Lin Feng's words, Nashida just smiled and said:

"If I were to use a metaphor to describe it, I am now like a dandelion that is about to fly away."

"My light body is ready for everything. I just wait for a breeze to blow and take me away from the familiar scenery to find a new world."

"——For the 'God of Wisdom', what could be more exciting than observing the operation of the world with one's own eyes?"

"Weren't you very resistant to my coming to save you before? Why are you so optimistic all of a sudden?"

Lin Feng was surprised at Nashida's change of attitude.

The little grass god just smiled happily and said:

"I didn't want to get you into trouble before because I didn't have a "gift" of equal value to return the kindness."

"——But now, I have remembered that I still have a treasure that I have not given away."

"Although the value may not be the same, I think I can still repay you for your help to me all the time."

Nashida tilted her head, her tone somewhat mysterious.

"What is that gift?"

Lin Feng was aroused by Nashida.

"The unexpected excitement is like the clown in the surprise gift box. If you open the box too early, it will lose its original meaning. So, let me keep it a secret for a while~"

Nashida just acted as a riddle teller, leaving Lin Feng with an open answer.

Returning from the dream,

Lin Feng looked at the rainforest in front of him, which seemed extremely dark in the night, and became extremely alert.

At this point, the threat from Xumi itself can be ignored. After all, the Order Institute, which does not have the combat power of a demon god, is not a powerful enemy worth mentioning.

But no matter whether he was disguised as a "doctor" before, or it was the mask that Xiaobai "picked up" before.

Regardless of whether they are intentional or not, these actions are actually for one purpose:

——That is to attract the "Doctor" who originally liked to hide behind the scenes and do things secretly to the front.

Compared to letting him do those troublesome things to provoke confrontation and divide the people in Xumi later, it is better to attract him now and try to solve this "slice" directly.

Although the doctor appeared with two slices in Xumi in the plot, at this point in time,

Before a certain enemy who had been deceived by him for hundreds of years arrived, he would not have the spare time to place multiple slices in the weak country of Xumi.
