Chapter 139: Missionary Opportunity

After three years of not seeing each other, Pete has changed more than Baron Chinal could have imagined.

Not only has he become a Level 3 combat mage officially certified by the Magic Hermitage, he has also found a group of equally powerful companions.

Baron Chinal had to admit:

Now Pete really no longer needs his protection and care.

The child really has his own ideas and the ability to face the world alone.

Since Pete has become a professional, it is good to let the child and his companions go out to experience adventures and battles.

However, Baron Chinal has never considered the possibility of Pete's success in becoming a pioneer noble.

Adventure battles and opening up territories are two different things.

The former only needs to be good enough to fight.

The latter requires a lot of considerations!

Want to build a territory from scratch in a state of poverty.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, a myriad of things;

Where does food come from?

How to build a house that can shelter from the wind and rain?

How to mobilize the people to work for the lord?

How to spend the hot summer and cold winter nights?

Not to mention the most dangerous monster invasion.

It is nonsense to expand the territory if you can't afford to support or even recruit people.

This is definitely not something that a team of adventurers or mercenaries can do.

Baron Qinar dared to bet that his son would give up after trying for a while.

As long as he didn't fight to the death and honestly gave up the idea of becoming a pioneer noble after realizing that it was impossible.

So, before handing the map of the outer area of the Dark Forest that he had drawn by himself to Pete, he solemnly asked:

"Son, I want you to promise me one thing."

"After leaving the border of the kingdom, if you really encounter danger that you can't handle, you must not be stubborn."

"Immediately find a way to return to a safe place."

Pete also looked serious, with his right hand on his chest, and promised solemnly: "Of course, father, I am willing to swear on my faith!"

"If the power given to me by the gods cannot solve the difficulties, I promise to give up the idea of becoming a pioneer noble."

After that, he added the second half of the sentence in his heart:

"——referring to the God of Knowledge."

...

When leaving the manor, there was one more person beside Pete and his friends.

Bacon Qinar surrounded Pete and asked him questions with admiration:

"Brother, you are so amazing!"

"Level 3 magician! How did you get the blessing of the goddess of magic?"

"And you can even master magic like [Self-Invisibility]!"

Although [Self-Invisibility] is rated as Level 2 and belongs to the category of "low-level magic" in the combat magic bestowed by the goddess of magic, its difficulty of mastering is definitely not the average level of low-level magic.

To be precise, a series of magic related to "invisibility", from Level 2 [Self-Invisibility], Level 3 [Invisibility], Level 5 [Advanced Invisibility], and even Level 6 [Group Invisibility], these magics are difficult to master!

It is normal for a Level 4 archmage not to get the [Self-Invisibility] bestowed by the goddess of magic.

Pet's eyes changed.

How can he explain this to his brother?

He can't just say "This is what I learned after I believed in the God of Knowledge and exchanged my knowledge points directly. Even dogs don't believe in the stuff of the goddess of magic"?

Although he also wanted to spread the faith of the God of Knowledge, Nowen, to Bacon and even his father, Baron Chinar.

But there was a problem.

There was also a church of the Glowing God in Ceylon.

The effect of the divine art [Detect Evil] on an area is different from that on a person or an object.

After believing in the God of Knowledge, because of his identity as an old god, when believers are checked by the Glowing God Art [Detect Evil], the art may emit a red warning light.

Bahamut once warned that people who believe in the old gods may be identified as evil god believers by the Glowing God.

At that time, Pete still thought it was unreasonable.

Under the guidance of the God of Knowledge, he got enough power to change his destiny.

This great being treats everyone equally, and no matter what kind of talent, he can get his guidance and help.

He doesn't think the God of Knowledge is an evil god, and the other party's blessing is also very normal, without the chaotic and crazy feeling of the evil god.

Evil gods will not disguise themselves, they are born crazy, and the chaotic pollution of the void cannot be hidden.

But after experiencing what happened to Bishop Skett in Green Harbor and the Bloodfang Gang's Dursley, Pete began to understand why Bahamut had issued a warning.

The result of the Glowing Divine Art is one thing;

What the Glowing Cult's people should do is another thing!

Skett is obviously a member of the Glowing Cult, and he dares to do such a thing as actively creating the pollution of the evil god.

The divine art is clearly issuing a warning, but he dares to say that black is white.

How can he pollute white into black?

Moreover, because Pete and his people believe in the old gods, they can still be directly identified as "evil god believers".

They are not so white to begin with.

The news of Bishop Skett's plan was strictly blocked by the Glowing Cult, and there was no chance for it to spread.

Bishop Skett, the person involved, was secretly taken away from Green Harbor. He will be escorted to King Starosh of Reyak for secret trial and punishment.

Only a few people in the Glowing Cult knew this news, and others thought it was a normal alternation of bishops.

These news were told to Pete and them by Miranda.

To put it simply.

Pete now also has some doubts about the people of the Glowing God Church.

If Skate dares to do this, what about other people of the Glowing God Church besides him?

As the largest church on the continent of Prantis, the Glowing God once sent down an oracle that the evil gods and their followers would be the eternal enemies of the Glowing God believers.

With the current scale of the Seeking Knowledge Sect, if it is slandered as the Evil God Sect, it will not be able to confront it head-on, and it may even be taken away by the Holy Army without any distinction.

That is not called confrontation.

That is called hitting a rock with an egg.

It is still a quail egg, and the one hitting is still a diamond.

Therefore, after arriving in Ceylon Territory, Pete and his friends were very cautious in preaching.

They did not spread their faith rashly.

This place is close to the Dark Forest and is highly sensitive in terms of faith.

It is necessary to make sure that conflicts with other churches can be avoided before starting to promote the teachings of the Seeking Knowledge God.

Facing his brother's inquiry, Pete was very hesitant.

He knew his brother's personality very well.

Outgoing and cheerful.

The most important point is that he can't hold back his words, and he doesn't know what to say and what not to say.

If he spreads the doctrine to his brother, I'm afraid Bacon's friends in Ceylon will know it the next day.
