Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

As batches of recovery potions were being produced, Lind suddenly said to Isa, "Do you think it's possible that we can use the arcane array to produce holy water?"

Holy water is the highest-level potion that the heroine can make in the game. It can remove all abnormal conditions on the body and is extremely precious. By the end of the game, the amount of holy water that the heroine can make can be counted on both hands.

Reality is slightly different from games. Holy water in this world is a universal antibiotic.

Not only can it fight against plague diseases, but it can also remove various curses. The most important thing is that it will not cause drug resistance.

Of course, it may also be because holy water is so precious that most people cannot use the amount needed to develop drug resistance.

"No way, absolutely impossible."

Isa shook her head frantically and explained, "My Lord, the holy water refining array requires not only magic power, but also the power of faith. Otherwise, the Church would not have directly disclosed the formula and refining magic of holy water, and those alchemists would have already started to refine holy water on a large scale."

After that, Isa's eyes suddenly dimmed. After all, Isa had lost the power of faith. Originally, Isa might have been able to refine a bottle of holy water in a month or two, but now it was very difficult for Isa to even summon a ray of holy light.

Lind did not directly refute Isa's words. Instead, he walked to an empty mixing table in the factory and began to grab the alchemical materials for making holy water. Then, he used the skills of the heroine, Isa, inherited from the game archives, and began to build a spell model.

The spell to refine holy water does not strictly belong to alchemy, but divine magic. A soft holy light was projected from the void above Lind's head and shone into the transparent bottle filled with materials in Lind's hand.

Under the illumination of the holy light, the material in the bottle began to melt and fuse, and finally turned into a bottle of transparent liquid emitting a crystal clear light.

"Fuck, brother, you can actually use magic, that's amazing!"

Reina clapped her hands as if she was very happy, while Linde was speechless, as if he never used these skills at all in his daily life, so much so that he almost forgot that he was actually a professional who inherited a perfect save file.

After all, the skills of the original heroine seem to be of no use for territory construction.

Isa and Lisha stared at Linde in amazement during the whole process, especially Isa. It was the first time that Linde saw Isa's jaw drop to the ground in shock. It was also the first time that the chosen heroine lost her composure like this.

"Lord...Lord, are you such a devout believer in the goddess? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The stronger a person's faith is, the faster the process of making holy water will be. Even for the most devout priest in the royal capital, it will take two to three weeks of continuous infusion of faith every day to make a bottle of holy water.

But Lind actually spent less than three minutes rubbing a bottle of holy water with his hands right under everyone's eyes.

Even if the current Pope came, he would probably question his life.

Even if Linde was a girl, the Pope would kneel down and beg Linde to become a saint when he saw her.

But it's a pity that Lind is a man.

No, I'm afraid that an ordinary saint would not be enough to show Lind's identity. Isa felt that the Pope might directly make Lind a living god, and directly become the incarnation of the goddess walking in the world.

Those popes and cardinals are so strict about even considering the saint's gender. Who says that men can't be saints?

After all, it had been a long time since the goddess had performed a miracle, and a man who could rub holy water on his hands in three minutes could be said to be a walking miracle.

Linde also scratched his head. The refining of holy water in the game is a very long CD time with the number of days in the game as the CD, but the refining process is very fast. After all, it is impossible to let players stay in front of the screen for 24 hours a day to refine medicine, right?

This is a normal change for gameplay purposes.

Unexpectedly, after traveling through time, the skills Lind inherited were perfectly restored in this aspect. So although Lind could rub a bottle of holy water with his hands in three minutes, he actually couldn't use this skill for the next month.

But this is scary enough. If the Holy See gets to know about it, not to mention Lena, even Archduke Lars won't be able to save Linde.

After all, rubbing holy water with hands is a skill that can only be mastered by the saint appointed by God according to legend. The legendary saint used only a few minutes to rub a bottle of holy water with hands to save her believers.

But the legend also clearly states that the saint is God's messenger and is a woman just like the goddess.

Thinking of this, Isa couldn't help but stare at Lind's lower body. Feeling the chill in his crotch, Lind subconsciously clamped his legs together. When he followed his gaze, Isa had already looked away, leaving Lind feeling puzzled.

After temporarily dismissing the workers who didn't know what was going on, Lind said to Isa, "I'm sorry, I'm just a shallow believer of the Goddess of Light. Strictly speaking, I'm not even a believer of the Goddess of Light. I haven't prayed or said any mass in the past few months. I don't believe in any gods."

Isa felt that her worldview had collapsed. An unbeliever had actually rubbed holy light with his hands to make a bottle of holy water.

To be honest, Isa felt that she would rather believe that the lord was actually the descendant of the goddess left in the world, or even the goddess' illegitimate son, but he just didn't know it. Or maybe Linde was simply a saint disguised as a man, which would be more acceptable to Isa.

Lind then made an even more shocking statement.

"Why don't we try to use the arcane magic circle to build this spell model of mine and see if the magic stone can refine holy water."

"No! Absolutely not!"

Before Linde could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Isa. Her violent aura even scared Reina beside him, and Lisha hid directly behind Linde.

After seeing everyone's reaction, Isa was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath and apologized, "I'm sorry, Lord, I just feel that doing this is not only a blasphemy to the goddess, but I'm afraid something terrible will happen."

Linde was actually also shocked. Unlike the relaxed atmosphere in the game, Isa in this world line had really killed someone with her own hands.

But Lind could also understand it. After all, there really were gods in this world, and Isa was the saint appointed by the goddess. Using inorganic matter to cast divine spells, even the most extreme cultists would probably think that this was too blasphemous.

This involves the root issue of faith.

"Brother, why don't you just forget it."

Even Lena knew what this meant, which showed how serious the matter was.

"I can pretend that I don't know about this experiment, but I must know what the result of this experiment is."

Lind was unexpectedly strong this time. After all, because of the so-called God, Lind's policies and some things had always been restricted, including the long-delayed construction of churches in the territory, and whether to carry out small-scale religious reforms in the territory.

These places that seem unimportant and do not affect production are precisely the most dangerous places.

Whether to replace the old faith with a new one will directly affect what the territory will look like in the future and how to handle the relationship with the Holy See in the future.

"Isha, don't you want to know whether the goddess you have always believed in can still respond to her believers?"

Lind looked at Isa. After a long period of contact, Lind knew that Isa in this world line was not a conservative person. She did not dare to do this experiment only because the proposal was a bit hasty. Her long-term beliefs made Isa unable to accept such a blasphemous thing.

Isa looked at the holy water in Lind's hand.

If the goddess can really answer the prayers of believers, why does she let these devout believers suffer? Isa thinks she is more devout than most priests, but why is the power of holy light getting farther and farther away from her?

What Isa couldn't understand the most was that Lord Lind had no faith at all, but could rub holy light with his hands.

In fact, during the initial conversation in the tent, Isa had already realized that many of Linde's thoughts had nothing to do with gods, and he even thought on the premise that gods did not exist. Such a person had the ability to rub holy water with his hands in just a few minutes.

But Isa still couldn't convince herself. After all, the long-standing beliefs could not be easily abandoned. In the end, Isa reluctantly found a reason for herself: since even the lord, who was suspected to be the goddess's illegitimate child, didn't care about this experiment, why should she, a person abandoned by the goddess, be afraid?

Isa, who had arbitrarily classified Lind as the goddess' illegitimate son, finally made up her mind and said to Lind: "Lord, start the experiment. I will help you convert the spell model into an arcane magic circle."

Unlike Isa, Reina and Lisha were a little scared, but they were more curious. They didn't think as much as Isa. Reina thought that if her brothers could still rub the holy light with their hands even though they thought so, wouldn't that mean the goddess didn't have any objections? If the goddess didn't have any objections, then she naturally had no objections.

So the disassembly of the spell model began quickly and in top secret.

The spell model from the game archive used by Lind was so ingenious that even Lisha was amazed at its structure. The algorithm was even more amazing, as if it was not something that could be thought of by humans, but rather came from a super brain with terrifying computing power. The spell model could be almost seamlessly converted into a mathematical model, and then this mathematical model was directly turned into an Olympic Mathematical Array. The whole process was smooth, as if the spell was originally converted from the Olympic Mathematical Array.

The amount of calculation that was originally expected to take weeks or even longer to complete was completed within a few days.

In a hidden corner of the Gray and White Collar, a place that could not be found by any detection spell, Reina's knights all dispersed to be on guard, and even Reina personally took charge, waiting for Lind to activate the magic trigger.

As Lind turned the knob, the familiar steps began. Invisible magic power flowed to the magic circle through the runes, and the arcane magic circle began to work.

Isa had mixed feelings; this was the first time she hoped that the research and experiments in the territory would fail.

But as a ray of holy light fell from the void above the magic circle, the raw materials in the transparent bottle began to dissolve, and Isa knew that her hopes were dashed.

After closing the magic circle, Lind picked up the bottle of holy water and looked at everyone.

Reina, Isa and Lisha all had expressions of shock or horror. It was impossible for an inorganic being that had no faith and was not even a human being to create holy water with magic power alone.

Then Lind repeated the production process several times using this arcane array. The subtle thing is that although this arcane array has the same real-time CD duration as Lind, it only needs to change the output power to deceive the system and continue production.

This is almost the same as having no skill CD. As long as there are enough magic stones, you can produce holy water to activate the unlimited firepower mode.

"I'm afraid that the power of faith is not a necessary condition for making holy water."

Linde stated his conclusion and looked at Isa, whose eyes were already lifeless.

"Even the power of faith may not be a necessary condition for using and performing divine magic."

Before Linde could continue, Isa said in a trembling voice: "The god is dead..."

"Calm down Isa, this only shows that you don't have to believe in the goddess to use divine magic, or to make holy water."

Lind didn't think that this meant that the goddess was dead. After all, the background introduction of the game clearly stated that the goddess chose the heroine as her spokesperson, which meant that no matter what the goddess' current state was, she at least had the ability to interfere with the human world.

"Do not..."

Isa countered from an angle that Linde had never thought of: "The moment humans can perform magic without gods, gods are dead."
