Chapter 368 [Morning Body] and [Advanced Life Source]
In the morning cathedral,
At this time, the night was already dark,
The believers who were still praying in the church had already left, leaving only Li Si and a few people wearing white priest robes.
Li Si's still somewhat confused eyes focused on the moment when the old voice sounded in his ears, and he noticed a few people standing in front of him.
Standing directly in front of him, two meters away from him, was an old man wearing a pure white robe. The old wrinkles on his face and eyes full of vicissitudes seemed to have noticed what the old man was doing the first moment they looked at each other. The long years of experience.
Although he was wearing only the simplest white priest's robe without any decoration or pattern embellishment, this person's identity no longer required these external foils.
The legendary pastor of the Church of the Dawn, [Holy Light] Lou Morris!
This legendary priest is also a very important figure to Li Si. Although his strength is not as strong as [Flame of Judgment], he is still a high-ranking figure among the legends.
As his words fell, Li Si felt a force as warm as the spring morning light pouring into his body. It not only washed away the fatigue from his body that had been baptized by the power of faith, but also slowly warmed his body.
Li Si didn't bother to check his harvest, and quickly took a few steps back, cupped his chest and saluted.
"It's an honor to meet you, Your Majesty Morris!"
"No need to be polite, my lord's child, I am glad to see you too."
Morris had a faint smile on his old face and looked at Li Si kindly.
Just now, it was he who personally said the words to invite Li Si to join the Church of Dawn.
Compared to [Flame of Judgment], who is not very old in the legend, this saint of the Church of Dawn has spent nearly a thousand years. Even with the blessing of the God of Dawn, his remaining time is still Not too much.
But even so, Morris is one of the highest-ranking people in the Church of Dawn. In the world of Gaia, except for the Pope of the Church of Dawn, he is the only one left.
It is conceivable that such a big man would not talk nonsense and make fun of a child.
Li Si didn't feel any contempt. In front of this person, regardless of his strength or age, he was fully qualified to call Li Si that way.
The young paladin Oriel stood behind Morris, looking at Li Si with a somewhat surprised expression.
In his mind, His Majesty Morris had never invited someone to join the Church of the Morning.
but
Aurel felt the power of faith which was quite rare in the church, and did not speak out rashly.
His Majesty Maurice's position in the hearts of these people made them almost unconditionally trust his judgment.
What's more, Li Si's ability to absorb so much power of faith in the Dawn Cathedral was beyond their imagination.
You must know that the power of faith contained in the Dawn Cathedral is a special power purified by the Dawn Church at a huge cost, which they call the Power of the Dawn.
The power of the Dawn is not only of great benefit to the priests and paladins of the Church of the Dawn, but even ordinary people who have been immersed in this power for a long time can strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives.
This is a special means that only a few powerful churches have.
And now, a full third of the power in the Dawn Cathedral has been absorbed by Li Si. It is not known how long it will take to return to the previous level.
The pastors of Morningside Church were very distressed when they saw this, but they had nothing to say.
Not to mention that Li Si didn't seem to do it on purpose, even if it was intentional, Li Si was invited by them. They had not prohibited anyone from absorbing the power in the church before. They couldn't treat Li Si differently just because he had done this, right?
At the same time, they were also curious, why could Li Si do this?
You know, Oriel, the most talented person in the church, has never experienced such an exaggerated situation. How could Li Si, as a mage, absorb so much power of the morning light?
Li Si naturally didn't know how special the power of Dawn was. No player had ever experienced such a situation in his previous life, even those priests who joined the Church of Dawn.
In his eyes, what he absorbed seemed to be the power of faith, but there was a faint aura of the divine power of the God of Dawn.
"My child, are you willing to believe in our Lord and join the Church of the Dawn?"
Morris asked Li Si again. His gentle look did not look like a legendary crown prince at all, but more like an old man next door.
Li Si paused politely for a moment, pretending to think, shook his head and said:
"Excuse me, Your Majesty Maurice."
"I would rather follow Teacher Stephens and explore the mysteries of magic."
Hearing this, Morris did not show any displeasure, but instead said with some regret:
"Stephens, you are so lucky!"
In fact, he already knew Li Si's choice in his heart, but he still couldn't help but invite him.
There is a considerable price to pay for Li Si to transfer to become a pastor of the morning sun, but Morris thinks it is worth it.
Although it is unclear why Li Si can absorb so much power of the morning sun, there is no doubt that the Marquis Kane has a very high affinity with the power of the morning sun god, and Morris has not seen many of them in countless years.
It would be fine if Li Si volunteered, but if he didn't want to, even he [Holy Light] Lou Morris would not be able to steal people from [Flame of Judgment].
What's more, an Arcanist who has been promoted to the gold level has an extremely firm belief, and the hope of getting him to believe in the God of Dawn is indeed very small.
Although he felt a little regretful, Morris did not continue to persuade Li Si, nor did he make Li Si pay the corresponding price.
Chenxi Church still has this kind of mind.
Now that Morris has come forward, there is no need to lead Li Si to other places.
Morris said gently:
"Now that you've made up your mind, let's do it."
"I invited you here this time because of your affairs in the new territory of the Berdych Kingdom."
When Li Si heard this, he instantly realized that the main event was coming.
"Can you please tell me?"
Morris smiled and nodded: "I heard that the Kingdom has sealed the Luo'ou Peninsula as your territory. It is a very important place for the Church of the Dawn."
"The Church of Dawn is ready to spread its faith in that territory and wants your permission and help as the lord."
really!
Li Si felt like a mirror in his heart. Although it was strange why Morris, the legendary priest, would come forward for such a thing, this was a good opportunity for Li Si.
He knew very well that for the Church of the Gods, the struggle between believers and faith was always the most important matter.
The Church of the Gods did not intervene in the war between the Kingdom of Fes and the Kingdom of Berdych, but after the dust settled, the Church of the Dawn, which was on the same side as the victors, was naturally very concerned about the population of the Kingdom of Berdych.
As one of the most important areas of the Berdych Kingdom, the Luo'ou Peninsula is naturally the target of the Church of the Dawn.
Before the war in the Berdych Kingdom, the church with the largest number of believers in the country was the Church of the Ocean Theology, dominated by the churches of the Storm Lord, Ocean Goddess and Drowning Queen.
The Lord of Storms and the Goddess of the Sea belong to the righteous gods of the lawful camp, while the Queen of Drowning is an eccentric deity of the chaotic neutral camp. Among them, the powerful Sea Goddess is the strongest.
After all, the Berdych Kingdom is a coastal country, and areas with busy shipping basically offer their faith to the gods and gods' churches that can protect their safety on voyages.
Li Si could also understand the idea of the Church of the Dawn wanting to spread faith to the Berdych Kingdom. After all, almost no god would dislike more believers.
However, the clergy field of the God of Dawn does not have ocean-related clergy, and it is very likely that they are not acclimated to the Lo'ou Peninsula. Therefore, the Church of Dawn wants to get the support of Lord Li Si, who can at least help them get through the most difficult place.
Although Morris is a legendary pastor, there is rarely a direct conflict between orthodox churches competing for believers, even the Church of the Dawn, which believes in powerful divine power.
After all, no matter which god it is, as long as it pays a price, it can bring down a demigod-level incarnation in the world of Gaia, and then the situation will be out of control.
Therefore, the normal behavior of competing for believers will not send out combat power above the legend. This is the tacit understanding between the Zhengshen Church.
Of course, for the Church of Evil God, there is not so much emphasis on it.
Li Si thought for a while. The Church of Dawn wanted to spread its faith in his territory, which was of great benefit to him.
First of all, as the new lord of that territory, he has no influence on the churches of the Storm Lord and Ocean Goddess who have worked on that land for many years. Introducing the more familiar Church of the Dawn can also balance the churches of the gods well. The relationship between.
In the competition between the Church of the Dawn and those churches of the gods, at least the churches of the gods do not require Li Si to spend too much energy.
What is more likely is that Li Si can become the arbiter between the churches of the gods and obtain greater benefits from it.
There is no direct conflict between Li Si and the Church of the Gods now, and for a relatively long period of time.
Although Li Si possesses the [Sphinx Ascension Magic], Li Si will have to wait at least until the later stages of Li Si's legend to develop followers and collect the power of faith.
Of course, it is the Dawn Church that is asking Li Si for help now, and Li Si is in a more advantageous position. The Dawn Church can’t help without some blood!
Li Si looked at Morris and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty Maurice, I naturally welcome everyone from the Church of the Dawn to go to my territory and bring the guidance of the Dawn to the people there, but my territory is in dire need."
Morris had a hint of smile in his eyes and said to Li Si:
"Of course, the Church of Dawn is in your territory, Li Si, and will naturally provide you with necessary support."
"I will send a team from the Holy Knights of Light to your territory, Li Si. It should also be helpful to you."
The Holy Knight of Dawn Church!
Li Si was a little surprised. This was one of the most elite forces in the Church of Dawn. Unlike the Golden Lion Knights, the Holy Knights of Dawn were not large in number, but their strength was terrifyingly strong. .
Each member of the Holy Knights of Dawn is a paladin who believes in the God of Dawn, but each one is the elite of the elite, with high-level silver strength, and each paladin owns a horse domesticated by the Church of Dawn. The Pale Holy Pony, whether fighting alone or jointly against the enemy, can exert its strength far beyond its peers.
The leader of the Holy Knights of Light is a legendary paladin. Their headquarters is at the Church of Dawn headquarters on another continent. There are not many Paladins of Light in the Cathedral of Dawn in Bright City.
Unexpectedly, Morris simply asked a team of Sunlight Paladins to follow him!
Although Li Si didn't even think about giving them orders, they probably wouldn't refuse normal requests such as clearing out thieves and destroying monsters and dark creatures.
Li Si didn't expect to get too many benefits from the Church of Dawn. After all, it was the Church of the Gods, and it was impossible to support him with much wealth and resources. However, in addition to the priests and paladins who established the church, there was also a team of Holy Knights of Dawn. Rhys has been quite generous.
Li Si is not an insatiable person. His Majesty the Legend has shown enough goodwill. If he is not satisfied anymore, he will be ignorant.
"Thank you for your help, and I hope the morning light will always shine on that land."
Li Si saluted the old man and said solemnly.
"Um."
Morris nodded, turned around and walked slowly and leisurely towards the back of the temple.
"Go back and exercise your body, and also say hello to Joyce for me."
"Yes, Your Majesty Maurice."
Li Si nodded and said seriously.
Sure enough, the reason for Morningside Church's direct and straightforward communication this time was largely due to its two bosses, Stephens and Joyce.
If not, this legendary priest might not even show up.
But the harvest has been great!
Li Si secretly clenched his right hand and breathed a long sigh of relief.
After being taken out of the Dawn Cathedral by the pastor of the Dawn Church, Li Si used [Teleportation] to return to the mansion and directly asked the groom to drive back on his own.
Returning to the bedroom, Li Si called out the system panel.
It is important to get the support of the Dawn Church, but the most important thing is to improve one's own strength.

Worri!
Such a great harvest?
Li Si looked at the system panel with delight, which displayed all the rewards he had received in the Dawn Cathedral this time.
The body is baptized by the power of the morning light
So are those special powers of faith called the power of morning light? It seems to be a very important power of the Church of Dawn, and it can actually strengthen its own power through direct baptism.
I'll look for opportunities to go back to Morningside Cathedral a few more times to see if I can gather more information about Morningside Church.
If the pastors of Morningside Church knew what Li Si was thinking at this time, they would definitely vomit blood.
Most people can't resonate with the power of the morning light. How can they absorb so much power of the morning light like Li Si for free, directly consuming less than half of the Dawn Church's years of accumulation.
But this is also the first time, so the effect is so good. Li Si will not have such obvious effects if he comes into contact with the power of morning light again.
Seeing that this absorption of the power of the morning light also triggered the effect of the talent [Almighty One],
Li Si lay flat on the soft big bed, with his hands folded under his head.
It should be that when the talent [Almighty] is promoted to gold level, it will gain the effect of [increased affinity to some special powers].
There should also be factors such as the integration of divinity. It is really a rare opportunity, comparable to what Li Si gained from an expedition.
During the process of body strengthening, Li Si's strength, endurance, agility, and charm attributes have all been improved. Among them, the three attributes related to body baptism, strength, endurance, and agility, have improved most significantly.
Almost an increase of more than 10%!
By the way, why does it increase the charm attribute?
Li Si suddenly thought of something, touched his face, and then opened his clothes to check his body.
After some fiddling, Li Si determined that the muscle lines on his body were more obvious and his appearance became more masculine.
Of course, handsome is still handsome!
In this situation, wouldn't he accept the baptism of the power of the morning light and become more like the Lord of the morning light?
Li Si couldn't help but shudder as the statue of the Lord of Dawn appeared in his mind, as well as the towering muscles of those old men from the Church of Dawn.
He doesn't want to become like that!
Sure enough, the power of free prostitution also comes with a price!
But now Li Si is in good condition, even a little more manly than before.
Moderate fitness attracts the opposite sex, excessive fitness attracts
Li Si shook his head, thought about Risa and Taya, and decided to keep it as it is now.
Really, the charm given by the Lord of the Dawn is poisonous!
After sorting out his racing thoughts, Li Si continued to check.
After being baptized by the power of the morning light, Li Si also gained the expertise [Body of the Morning Light] and [Advanced Source of Life].
Both of these are powerful feats that increase physical strength.
[Morning Body] should be one of the special expertise of the extraordinary professionals of the Dawn Church. It strengthens the affinity to the power related to the light attribute, and at the same time strengthens Li Si's three attributes of strength, endurance, and agility.
And it is also immune to direct death effects below the legendary level.
In other words, unless a legendary powerhouse takes action, Li Si does not need to be judged to be directly immune to special skills with direct death effects such as [Finger of Death].
Of course, Li Si still has to suffer damage, but the strongest of those skills is the judgment of direct death effect, and the damage is far lower than the damaging skills of the same level.
Li Si's ability to commit suicide has improved again!
As for the specialty [Advanced Life Source], it directly increases Li Si's upper limit of blood mana, and at the same time, it can also increase the body's recovery speed by consuming mana.
The recovery speed here should refer to the ability to restore blood volume and physical injuries. It is also a very powerful skill for melee professionals.
When Li Si saw this skill, his eyes lit up.
Just kidding, he's an arcanist!
The most indispensable thing is mana!
Li Si's current mana has exceeded the 200,000 mark, but his health is only over 50,000.
Compared with Li Si's mana, which far exceeds the same level after many upgrades, Li Si's health is only average.
But this is compared with professions such as gold-level warriors and monks. Generally speaking, golden mages would scold Li Si when they saw his muscles.
This is also because Li Si has not yet obtained the monk professional expertise, and endurance, which is most closely related to health, has not received attribute modifications.
Although Li Si has not experienced the recovery effect of [Advanced Life Source] and does not know the specific speed of this recovery, he thinks it should be worthy of the word "advanced" in front of this specialty.
Rubbing his wrist, Li Si felt a little strange and uncomfortable in his body.
The leaps and bounds in physical attributes have caused Li Si's control over his body to decline somewhat.
After all, this is the largest enhancement of Li Si's physical attributes, and Li Si needs to become familiar with it again.
No wonder the legendary priest asked him to temper his body again after he returned. With that person's eyesight, he must have noticed that Li Si's body strengthening was a bit too exaggerated, and he gave Li Si some suggestions in good faith.
Although there were some minor troubles, Li Si felt really comfortable.
Being stronger is always a good thing, especially strengthening Li Si's current shortcomings in combat power makes Li Si feel eager to become an iron-headed boy.
Forget it, let's exercise again tomorrow morning, and tell Uncle Joyce what happened today.
The cooperation with Morningside Church is a win-win situation for both parties. The old guys from Morningside Church are so generous!
Li Si suppressed the burning emotions in his heart and forced himself to fall asleep.
