“The Sacred Power Font Prayer Conversion Module”

“Usage: Converting the adherents’ spiritual power into sacred power.”

“The design blueprint is as below…”

“The detailed steps are as below…”

“The conversion principle: When there is a high concentration of spiritual power, it can be converted by the matrix into free soul particles. Once the soul particles are absorbed, to use the Ashen Seal core to purify them and inject them into the reactor…”

A series of packed words and even diagrams had Lin Sheng stunned as many of these principles may look simple, but were in fact very difficult.

Fortuitously, he had absorbed the memories of a cleric before, and he had managed to quickly make sense of it.

The conversion of energies would need a conversion point at its heart, and the conversion module’s heart was the core of the Ashen Seal.

The core of the Ashen Seal was a paladin who had high enough piety and strong enough faith.

“So is this why all sanctums needed to have a garrison of paladins?” Lin Sheng suddenly realized.

“A cleric’s function is to be the core of the Ashen Seal and convert the scattered soul particles into sacred power through meditation before storage. No wonder…”

He then finished reading the rest of the parts as he tried to memorize the details before taking the disc out of the room and piled it together with the ones he found earlier.

Suddenly, slight fatigue hit him and Lin Sheng paused. He knew his time was up and did not bother going anywhere as he sat before the discs and quietly waited for him to get out of the dream.

“I should be able to collect everything about the construction of the sacred power font tomorrow…” He was anticipant.

…

Dawn.

Xilin, Huaisha City.

A passenger plane slowly flew past the city’s sky towards the capital.

Strands of black smoke escaped from the underbelly of the plane as it went against the wind and headed straight towards Huaisha City below.

As the black smoke cut through clouds and avoided the sea birds, it swiftly landed on one roof of the city’s buildings before forming and turning into a cute white-haired girl.

The girl’s long hair had been tied into a twin ponytail as she wore a white t-shirt and checkered short pants. A wing-shaped hairpin adorned her hair.

“I’m back…” The girl took a deep breath as an expression of glee appeared on her face. “The aroma of food… So much… food…”

She closed her eyes as a blush appeared on her pale cheeks.

“I want them”

She extended her tiny legs in white lace socks out, as she stepped onto the edge of the building.

*Hiss…*

A dozen pale hands grew out from the walls of the building out of nowhere and grabbed her by the leg.

“No… I need to find the people big brother is looking for… I cannot tarry on that…”

The girl gently leaped off the building and transformed into countless strands of black smoke towards the city.

The black smoke was so thin that no one noticed. And very quickly they darted past the streets, and across buildings before arriving at a ten-odd story tall white building.

The black smoke swirled along the building’s surface as it checked the building from bottom to top, and a few minutes later, with the target found, it darted into an office on the sixth floor.

The sealed glass count not stop the smoke from seeping through, and could only slightly delay it.

Within the wide office, Chen Minjia sat silently on the leather chair as she closed her eyes to rest her worn-out self.

On her table were piles of documents, and a white glow flashed on the cellphone screen by the documents.

The background picture of the screen was a gentle-looking blonde lady with an apron standing in a kitchen, her head looking towards the camera.

From that angle, it seemed that the shot was taken by surprise.

Chen Minjia was in a bad mood. She had come from Osiris to escape her paternal family’s influence and wanted to make it big with the war.

She had thought that with her connections everything would be smooth sailing and money will be rolling in.

However, the Redwinian order was not that simple. She had been forced to sell three refineries at a fire-sale price. Even so, the post-war chaos had yet to fully subside.

She had indeed managed to garner the praise of the Redwinians for the quality of her products and gotten quite a few tenders.

Nonetheless, these tenders had also become a veritable golden egg for her competitors as they converged around her, pouncing frenziedly.

After fighting them off a few times, Chen Minjia was totally exhausted, and the people beneath her were not equipped to face off so many opponents at once.

Due to that, a few of her factories were repeatedly sabotaged, disrupted and her workers harassed and assaulted. That led to the quality of her products dropping, and there was massive unhappiness on the military’s side as well.

The piling pressure and stress were driving her into a corner.

“You seem very tired…” A gentle, young girl’s voice suddenly rang out from behind her.

Chen Minjia froze as she slowly lifted her head and opened her eyes.

She did not simply move, nor did she tried to turn around.

She had been at the receiving end of a robbery before, and many were not willing to be seen, so suddenly turning, screaming, shouting were all extremely dangerous moves.

In such situations, the best course of action was staying calm.

“Who are you?” Her voice was cold as she asked.

“Me?” There was laughter in the girl’s voice. “I am Alice, my master sent me to help you~~”

“Help me?” Chen Minjia paused for a moment as she demurred. “I don’t believe in any ‘help’ coming out of the blue. What do you want?”

“What do I want… It’s simple.” A bizarre look appeared on Khadula’s face as she gently approached Chen Minjia’s back, and hugged her.

Her arms gently coiled around Chen Minjia’s waist as they slid upwards.

“What I want is for you to give your everything to my master… Gotcha!”

“Hahaha… just kidding!”

Khadula laughed as she turned into a puff of black smoke and suddenly reformed and reappeared before Chen Minjia as she sat on the office table, her legs crossed.

Chen Minjia’s emotions were roiling, but her face remained calm with only a little sweat forming on her forehead.

“You’re Big Sis Minjia, right? I’m Big Brother Lin Sheng’s little sister, don’t you know you are in a very precarious position…”

Khadula leaned forward as her tiny mouth was barely a fingertip away from Chen Minjia. The two could even see their respective reflections in each other’s eyes.

“If you don’t pay attention, you might very well die…”

“Lin Sheng…” Chen Minjia pushed her head back as she heaved a sigh of relief.

She could sense an imperceptible, temperamental danger from the little girl. This was a girl with extreme emotions.

She had only seen such people in an asylum, but neither of those people had hidden their emotions so deep like the girl before her.

For such a person, no one knew what they were thinking, and a slip of a tongue could very well anger the latter.

So she needed to be extremely careful.

“Big brother said to look for you first, then everything else will be easy.” Khadula chuckled. “Oh right, big brother requested that I bring you to Xylond. Do you want to go?”
