Chapter 78: Chapter 75 The Cabinet Moved!
"No, the Church we're heading to is the Church of the God of Literature, Dinel," Kael said with a smile.
"The Church of the God of Literature?" Old White showed a puzzled expression, then clapped his hands and said, "Young master, did you plan to cooperate with the Church of the God of Literature from the beginning?"
"It's the simplest way to play."
"Just by those novels and illustrated books, you can gain the support of Dinel's followers? This sounds a bit..." Old White spoke frankly, he couldn't see why the followers of the God of Literature would have any reason to cooperate with Kael.
"Grandpa White, the feasibility of cooperation does not depend on the novels and storybooks, but on our planning.
What we need to do now is present a clear case to the Church of the God of Literature, proving that this plan is possible to implement.
The pope of this generation's God of Literature has been troubled for a long time due to their god's gradually declining reputation on the continent.
Presenting them with a gift now is far better than after we've already achieved results. It gives them more sense of participation and favor from the god," Kael said, pausing for a moment before adding more:
"No, rather, if we had already perfected the entire industrial chain, why would we need to ask for help from the Church of the God of Literature?
It's precisely because we need to use every ounce of strength we have to cut to the heart of the matter that we need entities like the Church of the God of Literature to pave the way for us. It's inherently a mutually beneficial choice."
Old White nodded in understanding and said, "Do you need me to make contact with those Undead now?"
"Go ahead. Sooner or later makes no difference, and we must also show the Church of the God of Literature our capital, or else how will we maintain a dominant position in the later cooperation relationship?"
...
The story split two ways.
On the other side, the two player characters, Lanyu Fish and Nan Ke, were also in an overly excited state of fidgeting.
Especially Lanyu Fish.
Although she wasn't known for being a player with bad skills but an intense addiction to the game, she was indeed not a soul-series gamer.
She claimed to focus on the intelligence work in the Royal Capital, but in truth, besides some promotional and intelligence tasks, she wasn't very suited to intense combat.
That's why, in Lancaster Territory, when she received a task from the Lord Mansion, she was so happy.
She had had enough of sweating it out in the Twisted Jungle, locked in a battle of wits and bravery with shadow wolves.
She was really not cut out for this, especially when she encountered the shadow wolves' green-glowing eyes peering at her in the dark, then pouncing towards her with wide-open jaws—that always made her jump and scream, "My closet's moving!"
Work like this investigative task was much better for her, where she could fully utilize her experience. After all, the combat skills required in puzzle-solving games are far less than those needed in soul-series games.
Standing beside her, Nan Ke was also a bit excited.
When he saw Old White preparing to take them to the Church, he knew that the Lord Mansion's task they had been given was complete.
He just didn't know what kind of profession the boy who talked of idle dreams under the warming sun would offer him.
Seeing the youth again, reading at the mahogany table inside the carriage, they felt a touch of sentiment.
No wonder there were so many supporters for Brother Kael on the forums.
How many times was it now? They didn't know when it started, but whenever they saw Kael, he was always engrossed in a book.
Some might be about the history of the continent of myth.
Others could be professional knowledge books about magic principles and Spell theory.
Of course, as shameless a woman as Lanyu Fish even had the nerve to directly take these books from Kael's table and flip through them.
Kael didn't stop her.
Unfortunately, after a quick look, it seemed that these were of no use to them. With a glance over the dense text and with the system's automatic translation feature, they could understand the words.
But put together, they turned into knowledge that was foreign and hard to comprehend.
Recalling the complaints on the forum from players who had embarked on the path of changing professions, it seemed that players were also able to learn relevant professional skills without using skill points.
But so far, only one player had successfully learned the basic swordsmanship by self-study.
She happened to know him—a swordsmanship genius with a good reputation in the martial arts circle—who, with his years of intensive training in swordsmanship, quickly mastered the skills of a curse swordsman after entering the game.
If the difficulty for an NPC to master basic swordsmanship was the same as that genius, then undoubtedly, Brother Kael was also a genius in this field, able to grasp Spells that were considered exceptionally difficult by many professionals.
Fortunately, players could still directly acquire related skills through skill points after leveling up. Otherwise, if they had to advance according to the natural method of this world's natives, many would have been tormented to death before successfully acquiring their professional skills.
She just didn't know whether Brother Kael was a Mage or a Magician?
Haha, just joking—how could he possibly be a Magician!
After all, she could tell that when Kael cast spells, he had very clear coping techniques and methods of use, not like the instinctual use of professional skills described for Magicians on the official website.
Such experience in spellcasting was clearly due to accumulated knowledge and not merely instinctive performance.
"I called you here today mainly to discuss your profession arrangements," Kael said warmly.
"Hi, hi, hi! I want to change my profession to an Infiltrator, can I, Brother Kael?" Lanyu Fish waved her hand and said, already decided in her heart.
"Of course, there's no problem."
"What about my arrangement then?" Nan Ke asked softly.
"Druid, are you interested?" Kael said with a revealed smile and a hint of laughter.
"Huh?" Nan Ke was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "Druid? That does match my personality, and it's perfect, I've been wanting to have a pet and roam around. For someone with a personality like mine, being a Druid is indeed fitting."
Nan Ke didn't react, but Lanyu Fish, who was always sensitive to information gathering, suddenly looked up.
"Druid?" She exclaimed. Wasn't this profession said to be off-limits during the closed beta?
"Yes, the Druids often traverse through forests, so for someone like Nan Ke with such a personality, there's no doubt that being a Druid is the best option. But don't forget our agreement," Kael said, looking out the window as the carriage slowed down.
They had finally arrived at the Church of the God of Literature.
