On a chair in an apartment building beside Nanyang Flower Road in Igwinte at night, Dorothy, who had just finished imprinting the information, sat there and pondered with great interest.
'I actually redeemed the Sword Princess's sword technique. It seems that secret transmission of the sword technique is quite profound. I wonder if this set of sword techniques can help that person resolve their crisis. I hope they're okay... After all, he gave me a secret transmission for free.'
Dorothy thought this. After obtaining the secret transmission information that the other party had sacrificed, Dorothy performed a redemption. The Laulent Sword Technique redeemed was actually fed back into Dorothy's consciousness. Dorothy copied a portion of it and sent it over, imprinting it onto his Book of Souls, as knowledge does not disappear because it is shared.
In other words, Dorothy's consciousness still retained a copy of the Laulent Sword Technique, but it was in a stored state and had not been imprinted onto the Book of Souls.
Yes, the function of imprinting the Book of Souls is not to store knowledge, but to allow Dorothy to skip the cost and time of learning, mastering a certain knowledge instantly with the highest proficiency.
Just like Dragon Shouts, in the world of Nirn in The Elder Scrolls, knowing a Dragon Shout and mastering a Dragon Shout are completely different matters. If not a Dragonborn, a mortal might need a lifetime to learn to master a Dragon Shout, and sometimes if their talent is insufficient, they can never learn it no matter how long they study. For example, the Jarl of Whiterun, Balgruuf the Greater, who is familiar to players, went to learn Dragon Shouts from the Greybeards but did not learn it, while another person who learned it was Ulfric Stormcloak, the leader of the Stormcloak rebels, and he killed the High King of Skyrim with a Shout, starting a civil war. However, he learned far less than the Dragonborn who had cheats enabled.
And with the help of imprinting the Book of Souls, Dorothy's speed in learning Dragon Shouts was even faster compared to the Dragonborn, it's just that this efficient learning has a limit due to the thickness of the Book of Souls.
And now, Dorothy has stored all the techniques and experience of the Laulent Sword Technique, but the remaining capacity of Dorothy's Book of Souls is not enough to learn this entire master-level dueling sword technique.
Unlike Vanya's Book of Souls which hasn't been written in yet, Dorothy's Book of Souls has already been written with Dragon Shouts and Kynareth's Appraisal Skill. If she wants to learn the Laulent Sword Technique, she can only choose a portion to learn.
"Although it's a bit of a shame that I can't learn it all at once, at least I've learned about another channel to obtain secret transmission today."
Looking at the """wen hai hang zhi""" placed on her desk, Dorothy murmured, saying that she felt she might be able to develop subordinates in the same way as just now, letting others sacrifice secret transmission to her.
"Hoo... So, I still hope you can overcome the difficulties over there, you devout believer who has believed in the wrong god."
Looking at the text that appeared on the book-sea navigation record, Dorothy thought this and said.
...
At night, in the underground catacombs of the small Church in Red Creek Town.
Under the guidance of her Mind's Eye, Vanya blocked the incoming bullet with her sword. Although she deflected the bullet and a ricochet killed the masked man in white robes holding the gun, the powerful kinetic energy brought by the bullet was not so easy to absorb.
At the instant the crisp sound like striking iron rang out, Vanya deflected the bullet, but the web between her thumb and forefinger holding the sword was numb from the impact. The sword blade, which she hadn't held firmly, clattered to the ground. Her body, unbalanced by the shock, tilted backward, and Vanya sat down on the ground with a thud.
"Ouch!"
Touching her tailbone area, Vanya cried out in pain. Although she had the experience and techniques of the Laulent Sword Technique, she did not have the physical ability to fully utilize this sword technique and make the experience and techniques fully effective, which is why she was unable to stably block the bullet.
Vanya is an administrative Sister. She lives a relatively homebody life every day and usually doesn't exercise properly at all. Although her action of deflecting the bullet was flawless, she was knocked down because she didn't have enough strength to maintain her stance and hold the blade firmly. After all, neither the advancement of the """Lamp""" Extraordinary nor Dorothy's bestowal added any stamina points for her.
'Hiss... It hurts so much... I need to get up quickly, I'm still fighting!'
Covering the spot where she fell, Vanya quickly got up. Just as she picked up the sword from the ground and got into position again, she saw the man in white robes lying on the ground, lifeless.
"Huh... He's already dead? When? Oh... It seems like I deflected the bullet just now. This sword technique obtained through divine enlightenment is so strong, it can actually block bullets!"
Vanya, who had just realized she had killed the enemy, said with emotion. For a moment, she couldn't believe she had done it. Looking at the scene before her and the blood on her sword, Vanya was in a daze for a long time before shaking her head and saying.
"Hoo... Now is not the time to be in a daze, I must thank divine grace!"
After invigorating her dazed expression, Vanya knelt down devoutly and prayed.
"Thank you, Lord... Thank you, Captain, for your enlightenment... Thank you for giving me the strength to defeat the otherworld. Your grace proves the correctness of my path and the correctness of the Three Saints' doctrine. I will uphold your path and your origin, and forever be an enemy to all otherworld who attempt to destroy the truth!"
As usual, Vanya performed a very formulaic prayer, but after finishing the prayer, she realized something seemed wrong.
'Ah... I still don't know which of the Three Saints or the Save the World gave me the divine enlightenment. It's too disrespectful not to be able to address them clearly!'
Vanya thought this. Within the Shining Light Church, if one cannot clearly pray to one of the Three Saints or the Save the World, they will use the title "Lord". However, generally, the object of prayer is clearly specified, and the use of "Lord" is not very common.
'No, I have to ask quickly! It seems that Lord usually doesn't reply to prayers, let's see if that holy book still works.'
Thinking this, Vanya quickly went to the corner of the catacombs and took out the holy book she had written before. After unfolding it, she devoutly wrote with a pen.
"Thank you for your grace, Lord. Please forgive my presumption, but may I ask which of the Saint Child, Holy Mother, Saint Father, or Save the World you are, Lord?"
...
Sitting at her desk and staring at the book, Dorothy finally received a response after a long wait. Seeing the sentence that appeared on the page, Dorothy couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly.
'It seems he is out of danger, that's great... But... asking me which of the Three Saints or the Save the World I am? Is he treating me as a deity of the Shining Light Church? Is he a cleric of the Shining Light Church?'
Seeing this scene, Dorothy bit the tip of her pen and thought for a moment, then took a deep breath and wrote on the book.
"I am not any of the Shining Light Saints."
...
"Ah!!!"
Looking at the words that appeared on the holy book in her hand, Vanya screamed in fright. Her hand trembled, and she dropped the holy book.
She stood up in a panic, her hand on her chest, her eyes wide.
'No, not the Saints! This, this means it's an otherworld god! An otherworld god!'
Suddenly, Vanya felt her mind in a mess, her breathing quickened, and her heart rate accelerated.
'What should I do, what should I do... I accepted divine enlightenment from an otherworld god, I've become otherworld! No, not just otherworld, it's an otherworld religion! I've defected!'
Vanya looked with a dazed expression at the man in white robes lying dead on the ground. Although the other party was otherworld, he at least still believed in Light. Her side had directly defected and become an otherworld religion!?
If the people from the Court of Tribunal find out, it's over!
For a moment, Vanya felt the prospect of the rest of her life was bleak.
