What did you do with the dice?

Rusalka tried to dial the PL channel, and he was surprised to find that... it worked.

Huh? This is the divine realm, said to be untraceable by any means in the world. That's it?

Sunny Tower: (I can even make a phone call in my dreams? Are you so impatient to jump in my face? You don’t even want to wait until tomorrow morning to show off?)

Rusalka: (Hey, bro, am I that kind of person? By the way, how did you know I got another 25 points from leveling up this time?)

Sunny Tower: (I can't stand it anymore. I'm looking for a block button.)

Rusalka: (No, no, no, let’s get down to business. I seem to have stumbled into a dream pyramid scheme.)

Sanita: (Are you dreaming? Uh, that doesn't seem quite right. Are you dreaming within a dream?)

Rusalka briefly described her environment to Sanitita, and then described in detail the blonde girl and her pair of delicate feet.

Sanitieta: (Okay, less foot talk, thanks. If you like feet so much, why don't you post on the porridge forum? Seriously, I reasonably suspect this is the aftereffect of your previous duel with the gods. You've been targeted by some entity or organization. This plot sounds familiar. Ask them if their gods are called fools. If they are, just assume they're just showing off.)

Rusalka: "May I ask the god's honorific title?"

The blonde girl hadn't expected Rusalka's question to be so radical, and she seemed to accept the setting very quickly. After secretly praising Rusalka in her heart, she replied, "The true name of God cannot be pronounced by mortals, and the mortal name of God is the True God."

Rusalka: (Yes, you heard it.)

Sanita: (Do you dare to choose a more villainous name? Well, I feel that this guy has a bit of the real deal. Then ask this jade-footed girl, who do you want to send it to?)

Rusalka: "You sent... ahem, I mean, who are you, beautiful lady?"

The blonde girl was stunned: "Huh? You don't know me?"

Rusalka was a little puzzled: "I don't know you."

His answer immediately caused a commotion around them. The Black Mists seemed very surprised that Rusalka didn't recognize the girl. Soon one of them asked, "Newcomer, where are you from?"

Who are you sending it to? Why are you checking my household registration like this?

Rusalka wanted to choose between "I am the best" and "I am your loser", but Sanitta helped him find a suitable answer in time: "I am from the Kingdom of Snidi."

Honesty is the king bomb, lying is four 2s, and obviously no one doesn't want both. He is from Sinidi, but he is not a Sinidi native.

He wasn't even from this world, so how could God be omniscient and omnipotent? What a joke.

The blonde girl's expression became even more confused. She put her face close to Rusalka, almost sticking to the black fog, as if she wanted to see through the black fog and discover his true identity.

This close observation made Rusalka realize that the other person's neck was white and delicate, her light golden eyes were also very beautiful, and her whole body was a good match for him. If she had a pair of cat ears or a fox tail at this time, Rusalka felt that he could even propose to her on the spot.

Sunita: (You're just talking nonsense, and you dare to propose? Why do you always turn into shrimp head when you see Phoenix? I see your hands are sweating when we chat normally.)

Rusalka: (That was my tactic of being cool. I was afraid she would fall in love with me, so I pretended to be humble. Do you understand the importance of integrity in the workplace? Is romance more important than returning to Earth?)

Sanita: (Haha.)

The blonde girl said, "You are from Snidi, so you must know me."

Rusalka was very surprised: "Are you from the royal family?"

The blonde girl shook her head, but her next answer confused both Rusalka and Sanitta.

She puffed up her lips, looking dissatisfied. She patted her chest and said proudly, "How could the people of Snidi not recognize me? After all, I am the Grand Saint of the Esdi Church—Theresa Lily."

Sani Iron Tower: (Oh my god, is this true?)

Rusalka: (It's really shocking, brother. You also think it's ridiculous that this girl's last name is Lily, right? I thought her last name was Lilith. It doesn't sound like the name of a great saint like her at all.)

Sanitita: (Huh? Saint and name, is there any connection between them?)

Rusalka: (In most fanfiction, isn't the succubus called Lilith? She's so alluring to me right now. If it weren't for Phoenix, I'd probably have already fallen for her. It's scary, man. She must be a succubus in disguise. In most fanfiction, she's a succubus nun.)

Sanita: (OK, now I think it makes sense. Obviously no one is more outrageous than you.)

Chapter 26 You're a bit extreme

Sani Tieta didn't even want to sleep. He slapped himself awake in his dream, proving with his actions the meaning of the saying "A ruthless person doesn't talk much."

The first thing he did after getting up was to put on his clothes and go out. He took some candles from the frightened night maid, rushed to the library, and began to look up information about the Esdi Church State.

As soon as Sanitta sat down in the library, Rusalka's brain instantly connected to the knowledge network. Under Sanitta's instructions, he asked everyone some historical questions about the Esdi: "Shouldn't the Esdi people believe in the god Light, or the God of Light?"

Theresa nodded and smiled, "Yes, I am indeed the Great Saint of the God of Light~"

Rusalka: "And what is this God of Truth...?"

Theresa stuck out her tongue and gave a wicked smile. "Everyone thinks I'm the Great Saint of Light with the strongest faith, yet secretly, I'm another chief believer in a heretic false god they regard as a heretic. Don't you think that's exciting?"

After she answered, the surrounding black fogs burst into laughter again.

Rusalka: (Uh, brother, do you think this setting is interesting?)

Sanita: (Huh? You ask me? It's okay, I just think the backstory is a bit random. But if I were an Esidi, I would definitely faint after learning the truth, and then immediately go on a killing spree when I wake up.)

Rusalka: (Followed by Ruthless Ironhands, followed by a basic attack, followed by Crippling Strike, followed by a basic attack, followed by Nokkasath's Guillotine, then directly used Blood Rage, then sprinted after this Lilith.)

Sunita: (OK, everyone, I've made you use a bad meme again.)

Rusalka: "Okay, as long as you are happy."

Theresa tilted her cute little head, either intentionally or accidentally trying to be cute. "Gemini, why are you so dull? You're not interesting at all, just like a Sagittarius. And the gods said Geminis are supposed to be talkative and knowledgeable."

Rusalka, now connected to the Wisdom Network, felt calm and asked, "Why am I a Gemini?"

Theresa: "Because Gemini is the only one left, and this is also a kind of destiny. The gods need 12 believers walking in the world, and named us after the 12 constellations."

She continued, "The wisdom of the gods is immeasurable, so each zodiac sign corresponds to their own life and personality. Leo is a great general, Aquarius is a great water wizard, Libra has the power of judgment in reality, and so on.

By the way, I’m a Virgo~”

Rusalka swallowed the question that was about to come out of his mouth, "Are you a virgin?" He realized that this was too derogatory, so he changed the question: "So, are you pure?"

Sunny Tower: (What the hell did you change? And it sounds more like a questioning tone. When you communicate with women, do you only speak the cheap online language and can't speak normally?)

Rusalka: (Um, didn’t I ask in a more tactful and polite way?)

Sanita: (Right?)

After a moment of hesitation, Theresa smiled and covered her mouth. "Of course, I'm the Great Saint. Don't look at me like this now. I usually wear very tight clothes and I don't allow anyone of the opposite sex outside the Knights to get close to me."

Rusalka: (Haha, so I’m a leftover woman. I’m done.)

Sanita: (Give up. Even if she has never been in contact with men, it is not your turn to take advantage of her.)

Rusalka: (Woo, bitter Lucy.)

Rusalka said, "Well, I'm just an ordinary knight, perhaps not as powerful as you all. I'm honored to join this big family this time, and I want to thank everyone for their kindness. I hope you can help me in my work in the future. I will do my best to contribute to the company, ah, to the gods. My speech ends here, thank you everyone."

Theresa covered her mouth and laughed. "That's right, Gemini. Where are you now? What position do you hold in the kingdom?"

After she asked this question, all the figures in the surrounding black fog fell silent.

Let’s put it this way, if it was Custer who asked this question, Rusalka would ask him whether his ears were bad or his brain was bad, whether he couldn’t hear or couldn’t remember.

And Teresa's gentle question awakened the moral qualities that had been dormant in Rusalka's heart for a long time.

Just as he was about to answer her again in a nice tone, he noticed an [Immunity] prompt pop up in the corner of his vision.

Rusalka was shocked. What the hell? Is she mind-controlling me?

At this moment, many key words came to his mind, such as hypnosis/brainwashing/female domination/female ghost.

Then, amidst the bombardment of Sanitieta's private chat channel, he relied on his perseverance to defeat the small head with his big head, and read out the answer sent by Sanitieta: "I am a Paladin abandoned by the Holy Light. I recently came to the Kingdom of Snidi to seek the meaning of my life. I am currently living under the name of a baron."

"Is that so? You're such a poor child. May Lord Light forgive your sins soon." Theresa didn't seem to care about the truthfulness of his words. She chuckled and prayed for Rusalka, who had stolen Custer's personality. Then she walked back to her seat, jumped off the table, and sat on the chair.

Theresa bowed slightly towards the throne: "My Lord God, my welcoming ceremony is over."

The figure sitting on the throne hummed softly, "Then let the meeting officially begin."

Theresa: "I've basically taken control of most of the resources of the Church of Esdinelet, but there's still a small group of conservatives who firmly follow the Archbishop. The backbone of his forces are the Knights of the Pale Blade and the Red Inquisition. We're at our wits' end against those stubborn old men. Is there anyone who can help?"

A shadowy figure, representing the constellation Scorpio, spoke in a deep voice from behind the chair, "The Saint is saying that if we eliminate them, you'll be able to control the decisions of the Esidi Nation?"

Theresa nodded: "Scorpio, do you have any good ideas?"

Scorpio pondered for a moment and said, "I also happen to have a person and his faction that I want to eliminate, but they are very powerful and vigilant. They are proficient in various corrupt rituals and blood magic, and have many subordinates. My faction is no match for them. Don't the old antiques in your church love to eliminate evil heretics the most? Saint, I have a proposal. I just need you to provide me with a method to perfectly invade the Esidi Cathedral."

Theresa frowned slightly: "You want the Tears of the God of Light?"

Scorpio sneered, "Of course not. What I want is the Fallen Horn sealed in the basement of your cathedral. I'm only using it to achieve my goal, and I'll return it intact to you when I'm done. Of course, to avoid exposing my purpose, I'll trick my people into stealing the Tears of the God of Light as a deception. You'll be responsible for sending those old-timers from the church to hunt them down. You only need to sit back and reap the benefits, leaving no one behind. Not only will you eliminate dissidents, but you'll also gain the reputation of retrieving the artifact and exterminating the cultists."

Theresa shook her head slightly. "That's easy for you to say. With my cooperation, it's very convenient to invade the cathedral, but it's impossible to take the artifact. The cathedral's defense force is very strong, and there are also magic guards in the seal room."

Scorpio said, "Saint, you must not underestimate us. As long as you are willing to secretly help our people cross the 'Light Shield' and withdraw your two guard knights, the Golden Sword and the Angel's Right Wing, I guarantee that we will be strong enough to storm the cathedral."

Theresa's eyes lit up. "Oh? That sounds good. If you can send an envoy to contact me secretly, then I agree to try to cooperate with you."

Scorpio: "No problem."

What the hell, they seemed to be discussing some high-level topics, making Rusalka feel like an undergraduate sitting in a conference room, listening to a group of PhDs discussing their respective research.

I can understand the Chinese characters, but it is difficult to understand them when they are put together.

Taurus: "I'm in urgent need of an adult dragon horn. Does anyone have one?"

Libra: "I have it, what do you want in exchange?"

Taurus: "A five-hundred-year-old ancestral totem, or a magic crystal of equivalent value, a tear of the gods, or a general-purpose magic item. Of course, if you prefer gold coins, that would be even better."

Libra: "What's the use of gold coins? I need an Infinite Overwrite Slate and a Magic Forbidden Stone weighing no less than 10kg. I can exchange either one for the other."

Taurus: "Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you. If anyone else has this kind of material, they can come to us for a triangular exchange."

Rusalka was stunned when she heard this.

Gold coins are useless?

It’s useless to me!

Unfortunately, in the trade process, Rukasha really didn't have any good stuff. She originally wanted to see if she could sell some healing potions, but after listening to the whole conversation, she didn't hear any of the materials she had heard of. Even the cheapest things they offered seemed to be rare materials produced in high-risk areas, and the price of gold coins was at least four digits.

Rusalka's current total wealth: including the last compensation, there are still 700 gold coins left.

I can't even afford the scraps, not to mention that none of you here use gold coins as a trading currency.

This made Rusalka silent from beginning to end. She could only watch them complete the transaction under the gaze of the figure on the throne. They signed a void magic contract that was exactly the same as the one they had used in the previous God's Judgment Battle, and then smiled at each other with satisfaction, wrapped in two balls of black mist.

After the trade session, the Black Mist on Aquarius's side slowly spoke, "The Great Tide is about to begin. The Sea Tribe will invade the coastal areas as early as next spring. The first wave should be concentrated on the Palovara coast. If possible, I hope everyone present will step aside. The main targets of the planned attack are three coastal cities. If there is any further news, we will discuss it at the next meeting."

The other zodiac signs all expressed their understanding.

Rusalka: (Where's the Mongolian Navy? Help them.)

Sanita: (The Palovara coast is a million miles away from you, half a continent away.)

Oh, that seems to have nothing to do with me.

At the end of the intelligence segment, everyone finally looked at Rusalka. Rusalka felt like he now had a better understanding of what it felt like to be a sunny and cheerful boy. After being idle for the entire game, he thought for a long time before finally speaking, "Oh, then I have some information too. Recently, friction between the small nobles on the border of the Kingdom of Snidi seems to be more frequent than before."

Saint Theresa thought for a moment and said, "Oh, I think I know what you're trying to say, Gemini. According to spies, the King of the Kingdom of Snidi is about to decide on his successor, and factional struggles have begun within the royal family. Several Grand Dukes haven't expressed their stances yet, but several Marquises have clearly already taken sides and are secretly accumulating strength. Gemini, which candidate do you support?"

I...what I want to talk about is the "fierce confrontation" between our Pearl Tear Territory and the neighboring Luopa Territory. As for the royal competition that the saint mentioned, haha, it's really a bit extreme.

How should I put it? It feels like a fight broke out between more than a dozen villagers from two villages against the backdrop of the Second World War.

"I'm still waiting and watching. I'm just a wandering knight working part-time."

"Oh... okay." Theresa clearly didn't believe Rusalka's words. No one knew what she was thinking. She nodded and said, "It's okay. I know you're not used to it yet and are subconsciously hiding your identity. We've all been there. I believe that before long, you'll choose to open your heart to the Lord God. You'll soon discover that, under the witness of the power of the God of Truth, we are your most trustworthy partners. As a welcome gift to you, I give you this."

The saint signed a contract in the void, and soon a transfer agreement appeared in front of Rusalka. The item drawn on it was a white cloak.

A fashion item? Okay, it doesn't have to be white stockings, as long as it's something you've worn.

"This is a brand new temple cloak."

New? Boring.

Theresa said, "It has a magic pattern I personally enchanted. It can glow at night and activate a light-attribute repulsive barrier when attacked. Once activated, the magic pattern disappears and turns into an ordinary cloak. You said you are a knight, and I think knights would like this kind of beautiful cloak, right?"

Say it earlier.

Rusalka, who was originally not very happy, signed for it with great joy: "Thank you, Saint, you are so generous."

Theresa smiled at him. It must be said that this smile made Rusalka even happier than the cloak. He also looked at the corner of his vision from time to time to see if there was any abnormality.

I must have been bewitched.

Well, Rusalka admitted that she was not in any abnormal state.

Maybe it’s not your skills that are disappointing, but yourself.
