Chapter 522 [High-level·Suffering Amulet]
[Feat [Shadow Thorn]: You become more and more comfortable in using the power of shadow. When fighting with the power of shadow, you ignore 15% of the enemy''s defense (this effect is related to the affinity of the power of shadow)]—
Li Si looked at the prompts on the system panel and felt quite satisfied.
Needless to say, the newly acquired extraordinary domain [Shadow], even if it is still the first level, is enough to greatly improve Li Si''s many skills as an assassin.
At the same time, it also made Li Si more comfortable in using the power of shadow. Although it was not enough to significantly improve Li Si''s strength, it also made up for Li Si''s shortcomings.
When fighting Brett before, the opponent often gained a certain upper hand through the advantage of controlling the power of shadow, but it did not affect the final result.
Lisi''s strength has improved to this level, and even Brett, who is standing on the threshold of legend, may not be able to trigger the limited-time challenge mission for him.
It''s pretty good to get such a reward.
Of course, the most important thing is to make Li Si realize the power of the field of [wisdom], which is much more important than the rewards of one or two time-limited challenge tasks.
Still slowly comprehending the battle just now and the experience of gaining understanding of the rules, Li Si walked towards Zolf and others who were standing not far away from him.
The other party''s clothing and aura were obviously members of the Church of the Passion God. He must have noticed the fighting here and rushed over.
Zolf looked at Li Si walking towards him, and for a moment he didn''t know what to say.
Perhaps the contrast in Li Si''s current appearance was a bit obvious. He was obviously dressed as leisurely as an aristocratic young man, but what he was carrying in his hands was a follower of the evil **** who exuded an evil aura.
It''s just that this evil **** believer looks a bit miserable and doesn''t seem to pose any threat to Li Si at all.
The entire Church of the God of Passion in Cuifeng City has been looking for the believer of the evil **** for so long, and was caught like this?
From the previous conversation with Ebel, it seemed that the elf sage in front of him had just received a commission from the Mercenary Guild regarding this matter yesterday, and had only come to Wright Street to investigate at night.
Did you find this evil **** believer so quickly and even control him?
By doing this, wouldn''t it make the clergy of the Church of the Passion of God seem useless?
Although Zolf wanted to say this in his heart, as the bishop of the Church of the Suffering God, he still had to maintain the reputation of the entire church.
"Your Majesty the Elf Sage, welcome to Cuifeng City."
"I am Bishop Zolf of the Church of the Passion of God."
Zolf stood in front of Li Si, bowed slightly and said.
When he was in the Emerald Capital, Li Si reached an agreement with the Church of the Gods.
Although only representatives of the Dawn Church, the Earth Church and the God of War Church were present at the time, they were representatives of the Churches of the Gods, and the contents of the agreement also needed to be informed to all the Orthodox Churches.
It is precisely because of this that the Church of the Suffering God also knows about the existence of the Elf Sage Li Si and the agreement reached between the Elf Kingdom and the Church of the Gods on behalf of the Elf Kingdom.
In the notice received by the God of Suffering, Li Si''s magical portrait was specially attached.
Although the production of magic portraits is much more complicated than the camera used by Li Si in his previous life, it can better reflect the unique temperament of the person in the portrait.
This is why, after meeting Li Si for the first time, Ebel felt a little familiar.
The first time Zolf saw Lis, he was sure that this was Lis Kane, the first human being to become an elf sage in history.
"Nice to meet you, Bishop Zolf."
Li Si nodded slightly and said to Zolf in front of him.
With his current status, all the Archbishops of the Church of the Gods are treated equally, not to mention the branch of the Church of the Suffering God in Cuifeng City.
"Is this what you have in your hand?"
Although he had already guessed the identity of the unconscious old man in Li Si''s hands, Zolf still asked Li Si.
"This is a believer of the God of Thieves. He performed the life sacrifice ceremony in Cuifeng City to obtain the power of the evil **** and to try to break through to the legendary level."
"What?"
Zolf was slightly startled and felt a chill in his heart.
If this person really succeeds, the situation will be out of control.
There is currently only one legendary strongman in the Gordon Kingdom, and he is currently sitting in the royal capital of the Gordon Kingdom.
If a legendary evil **** believer really appears in Cuifeng City, except for the church of the sinned **** and the lord''s castle, which may survive, it will be a disaster for the ordinary residents of Cuifeng City.
No wonder.
No wonder this evil **** believer is so careful, his hiding ability is too strong.
It should be obtained while performing the life sacrifice ceremony to obtain the power grant, and at the same time delaying time to digest it.
Moreover, this evil **** believer has been hiding here before. Their previous search direction was completely wrong. They don''t know how long it will take to find this place.
I don’t know how the sage Li Si in front of me found out.
Zolf suddenly realized something and was slightly shocked.
If it is true as Li Si said, this evil **** believer did all this in order to break through the legend, doesn''t it mean that this person is just one step away from becoming a golden peak powerhouse?
Zolf knew very well that although he was the bishop of the Church of the Suffering God, it was only possible to face such a powerful man by joining forces with Ebel.
But now the evil **** believers are like this, and they don''t know what kind of torture they have suffered at the hands of Li Si.
Li Si saw Zolf looking a little surprised and said with a smile:
"Now that the person has been caught, let''s leave it to you. My commission is considered completed."
Immediately, Li Si threw Brett forward.
Brett was now completely unconscious and unable to resist.
What''s more, even if he is awake now, he can''t change anything. He has been drained of all his strength by Li Si, and he is as limp as a dead dog.
Where can you see the demeanor of a top golden man?
Upon seeing this, Zolf quickly controlled Brett. After confirming that there was no problem, he handed it over to Ebel next to him to control.
They don''t have the confidence like Li Si, so it''s better to be careful.
Although they did not capture this evil **** believer with their own hands, they just needed to solve the problem.
The Church of the Suffering God can be considered the most pragmatic of all the righteous churches and does not care much about false reputations.
Zolf noticed that Li Si turned around and was about to leave, so he quickly said:
"Sage Li Si, please wait a moment!"
"Is there anything else?"
Li Si stopped preparing to leave, looked at Zolf and asked. "You came to Cuifeng City because there are abyss demons in or near Cuifeng City?"
Zolf asked in a low voice, this was something he had been worried about.
The most important content of the cooperation reached by Li Si on behalf of the Elf Kingdom and the Church of the Gods is to jointly eliminate the abyss demons. The Church of the Gods mainly provides assistance to the elf hunters of [Wrath of Nature].
As the leader of [Wrath of Nature], Li Si''s status is now different.
With his appearance here, are there really extremely powerful abyss demons roaming around Cuifeng City?
For Zolf, ordinary abyss demons are nothing to the church, but the same cannot be said for more powerful abyss demons.
The Elven Court has existed longer than most gods, and even then it was completely destroyed by the plan of the demon prince Demogorgon.
The Church of the Gods is now extremely vigilant against the Abyss Demon. After all, no one wants their backyard to be attacked by the Abyss Demon.
Li Si did not expect that Zolf would think of this, and shook his head with a smile:
"Bishop Zolf, you don''t need to worry. I came here for other things, not for the Abyss Demon."
"Don''t worry. After this evil **** believer is dealt with, Cuifeng City should be quite safe."
This is not Li Si''s nonsense. Although he doesn''t know the plot of Cuifeng City in his previous life, Li Si knows very well that Cuifeng City has not been seriously damaged in version 2.0.
Not to mention the Abyss Demon, Li Si estimated that this believer of the God of Thieves did not succeed in breaking through to legend in the end.
Li Si did not doubt that the Church of the Suffering God had back-ups, but a legendary-level battle was not something Cuifeng City could withstand.
"That''s it, that''s good."
Zolf nodded slightly, and after a moment of silence, he took out a silver-red badge and handed it to Li Si.
"This is?"
Li Si took the badge from Zolf and looked it up and down.
Engraved in this badge is the holy symbol of Ilmat, the God of Suffering [pale hands bound by a red rope].
Li Si could feel the flow of divine power from the badge in front of him, although it was not strong.
"Thank you for lending a helping hand, otherwise we wouldn''t know how much damage this evil **** believer would cause in Cuifeng City."
Zolf shook his head slightly, even though there was some reluctance in his eyes, he still said sincerely:
"This is my Lord''s Passion Talisman. I hope it can help you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a new prompt message appeared on Li Si''s system panel.

[You obtain the secret treasure [High-level·Suffering Talisman]! ]
[Secret Treasure: [High-level·Suffering Amulet]
Introduction: A special amulet infused with the divine power of the God of Suffering. The owner will be protected by the God of Suffering and protected from all harm!

Oops!
Interesting!
This is the first time Li Si has seen a secret treasure with this kind of effect. The first two effects of this Passion Talisman are relatively average, but the third effect is somewhat interesting.
It is probably related to the ability of Ilmat, the God of Suffering. This [Suffering] effect, as the name suggests, allows Ilmat, the God of Suffering, to bear an attack for Lis.
There is no special explanation in this effect, but Li Si estimates that there will be no problem in transferring at least the legendary level attack to the Kingdom of the God of Suffering.
This is equivalent to Li Si having an invincible BUFF, but this effect is only one-time.
Although this was only a one-time effect, it was quite precious to Li Si.
And looking at Zolf, it seems that this amulet of suffering is quite precious.
But yes, if talismans of this level could be produced in large quantities, wouldn''t the priests of the Church of the Suffering God be invincible?
Don''t worry about defense, let the boss take care of it, just focus on recklessness!
"Thank you for your generosity, then I will accept it."
Li Si was not polite at all and did not expect such a gain.
When he defeated Brett, the believer of the evil god, Li Si even touched Brett''s body.
After all, this guy is also a top powerhouse, so he must have something valuable, right?
The result was very unsatisfactory. Except for a few gold coins, the equipment used by Brett and the precious sharp dagger, there was nothing else.
The high-end leather armor used by Brett was hammered to pieces by Li Si, and the harvest was very little.
Presumably in order to prepare for the ritual of breaking through the legend, Brett has replaced all the valuable items on his body with the required materials.
All I can say is that it fell short in the end.
Waving his hand, Li Si walked towards the mercenary guild.
Mission accomplished, the rest should be as he planned, right?
I hope that Prince Jellal’s intelligence channel is strong enough.
Watching Li Si''s figure disappear at the corner of the street, the young priest and paladin looked at Brett lying unconscious on the ground with disgust, and each of them secretly kicked him hard.
Zolf pretended not to see it, since this guy was already dead anyway, so there was no problem in letting these little guys vent their anger.
But we can''t kill this guy yet. Although Li Si said that this guy came to Cuifeng City in order to break through and become a legend, Zolf was worried that there would be other situations.
For example, whether there are other followers of the evil **** hiding in Cuifeng City, whether there are other evil plans and so on.
It''s not that Zolf doesn''t believe Li Si, it''s just that as a bishop, he needs to prove this.
As for whether Brett will tell the truth, that''s not what Zolf needs to worry about.
Although the Church of the Righteous God is a group of peaceful, friendly, and peace-loving people on the surface, in order to combat and eliminate believers of the Evil God, the Judgment Office is an indispensable organization hidden in the dark.
Even if the five senses are closed, those at the tribunal can still pry open Brett''s mouth.
As for what those people did, that''s not Zolf''s concern.
All he needed to do was to send Brett to the stake after learning the information.
Eli Hills, Gordon Kingdom Military Camp,
Prince Jellal rubbed his tense brow and looked helplessly at the map in front of him.
Although the previous plan was effective and attracted some troops from the Kingdom of Archibald and the Paro Federation, and the results were enough to make the army generals and the nobles of the royal capital breathe a sigh of relief, Jellal was not satisfied.
Because this victory cannot fundamentally change the predicament the Gordon Kingdom is currently facing.
Even though a considerable amount of supplies were seized and most of the opponent''s professional teams scattered in the Eli Hills were eliminated, as long as this war continued, the Gordon Kingdom would still face the trouble of multi-front operations.
What else can be done?
At this time, the panting messenger rushed into the tent and delivered urgent information about Cuifeng City.
