Chapter 458 The weird teachings of the weird church—Acusis Cult

Kobayashi talked a lot about its use in combat.

The knowledge about the human body is not only useful to the adventurer Peter and others, but also to the pharmacist Nfilia and the Great Tomb Supreme Ainz, who have also gained a lot from it.

At the same time, several members of [Sword of Darkness] once again understood deeply that just because they were new to the industry and had little experience, it did not mean that they did not have a wealth of knowledge. At least what Xiaolin said was profound knowledge that they had never known.

Nina sighed: "As expected of the [goddess's wisdom], even the master who taught me doesn't know this knowledge."

"Wait, what do you mean, master?"

"That's the master who taught me magic."

Nina's matter-of-fact look made Ainz have uncertain questions.

"I also want to use magic like Mr. Nina. Does it mean that if I want to learn magic, I need to become a disciple?"

"You are really greedy, Mr. Momo. You are so powerful in swordsmanship that you still covet the ability of magic. No, it should be said that you are very adventurous, right? But it is not impossible to learn. If it is convenient, would you like to Go to see my master?"

"Master?"

"Well, the master's innate ability is to detect the opponent's magic power. If you are born with the ability to use magic, you can sense it. If you are a magic caster of the magic system, the master can even accurately distinguish the class."

"Huh?"

Hearing this answer, Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "Wait a moment, is the innate power Mr. Nina mentioned about the same as the chief magician of the empire?"

"Yes, the same natural ability."

Nina nodded proudly.

Ainz's eyes flickered under his helmet and asked, "What kind of ability is that?"

"According to the master, something like spiritual energy seems to be emitted around the body of our magic casters. The higher the magic ability, the more spiritual energy is emitted. The master's ability is to see those spiritual energy. This is what the master uses. Method, gather talented children to teach.”

"oh oh……"

Ainz suppressed the low sound of surprise that suddenly escaped, and immediately responded with a normal voice in order not to arouse suspicion.

"Please be sure to introduce Nina's master to me! Please!"

Xiao Lin held his hands.

The eager look in his eyes made Nina a little scared and wanted to take his hand out. But the magic caster's thin constitution prevented him from doing so, and he gave up after trying a few times.

Xiao Lin sighed slightly.

Does he have the same natural ability as the chief magician of the empire... I didn't expect that it was just an unintentional act, but it would have such a harvest! Being able to see the magic power of others is a rare talent! Maybe it will become the most important card in his hand!

"X-Xiao Lin doesn't need a master, after all, your natural abilities are more powerful and unique."

"But that doesn't mean I can see my own magic power, does it? Please, Mr. Nina, please introduce your master to me!"

"Okay, okay...if you need it."

"Thank you, Mr. Nina!"

However, Xiao Lin, who was so excited, did not notice that Ainz was trembling slightly at this moment. He cursed in his heart that he was in trouble now, that someone actually had that kind of innate power.

He is a great magician of the tenth level, and he would be easily exposed to others.

After adjusting his mood, Ainz continued to ask: "So if you want to use magic, what should you do in the first place?"

"First we have to find a decent master."

"For example, would you like to have Nina as your teacher?"

"Hmm...it's better to find someone who is more capable than me. But in the kingdom, almost all private teaching is available, and people without connections cannot enter magic-related guilds. As for wanting to be my apprentice, I'm sorry, because I still want to do it. There is no extra time to teach others.”

Nina's gloomy answer contained strong negative emotions and hostility was clearly visible.

It’s better not to go too deep.

It doesn't feel good.

While Ainz made this judgment, he looked at Xiao Lin beside him.

"...Huh? Me?"

"If I take Xiao Lin as my teacher, can you teach me magic?"

"I think it's difficult. I prefer the belief system to the magic system. After all, it's the [goddess's wisdom]."

"...I see, if you want to learn, do you need to believe in the goddess first?"

That's even more impossible.

After all, even a goddess wouldn't like a necromantic skeleton magician. Don't talk about learning magic then. It would be funny if he was purified by others.

"But we can discuss it together. Basic magic is still no problem."

"Yes, thank you."

Ainz nodded in thanks.

The sun disappeared behind the horizon, and everyone ate against the backdrop of the setting sun dyeing the world vermilion.

Each person's bowl was filled with a rich soup flavored with bacon, toasted bread, dried figs and nuts such as walnuts, and that was dinner.

Ainz looked at the salty-looking bowl of thick soup in his hand. Although he couldn't feel the temperature of the bowl with his metal gloves on, but seeing how everyone was eating it without letting it cool down, the temperature should be just right.

So, what to do now?

He is an immortal, unable to eat in his body, and he uses illusions to disguise his appearance. If he had a body and mouth with only bones, the soup would immediately leak out as soon as he drank it. No matter what, we can't let everyone see that appearance.

Unknown food in an unknown world, although there are only a few simple dishes in front of him, it still makes Ainz feel sorry that he can't eat it.

Although he has lost the desire to eat, he still feels unwilling to not be able to eat the food that looks delicious and curious.

After coming to this world and getting the body of the undead, this is the first time he feels regretful about this.

After hearing a slight sigh, Xiaolin asked curiously: "Huh? Mr. Momo, is there something that doesn't suit your appetite?"

"No, it's just a personal reason."

"Really? Then it's okay if you don't force it, but it's time to eat now, can you take off your helmet?"

"...It's because of religious reasons. On the day of killing, no more than four people can eat together."

"Oh? Mr. Momo's religion is really strange. But the world is so big, it's not surprising that there is such a religion."

When they heard that it was related to religion, everyone's puzzled eyes became relieved.

"Then, let's go there first..."

"Ah, it's similar to the Axis Church."

"Please tell me more."

Ainz stood up, and after hearing what Xiaolin said, he sat down immediately.

The speed was so fast that everyone twitched their mouths.

"Mr. Momo, let's eat..."

"Don't be in a hurry to eat. I'm more curious about the Axis Church now. Can Mr. Xiaolin tell me more about it?"

"Sure."

According to Xiaolin, the Axis Church is a new church that rose in the kingdom twelve years ago. Like ordinary churches, it is a church that helps civilians. However, the church headquartered in the kingdom is not ordinary in itself.

First of all, the kingdom does not believe in the church. Originally, the Axis Church should have been suppressed until it disappeared, but now it has not. Instead, three churches have been built in the capital.

Some people say that it is because the person behind it is the second son of the Rebuen family, and some people say that the person behind it is the relationship of the golden princess Lana, which makes it develop better and better.

Nina said, "No matter who is behind it, as long as it is for the common people, it is a good church."

"...Yes. After all, it has rescued many displaced civilians."

Peter and others nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Ainz learned that the abolition of slavery in the kingdom had left many civilians with nowhere to go, and then the Axis Church received their information, and learned that it was actually a secret fight between the nobles and the royal family, which was finally resolved by the Golden Princess.

"That's why I said the nobles..."

Nina wanted to say something, but it seemed that he thought of Kobayashi, as a noble child, who was completely different from those dirty nobles, so he closed his mouth and stopped talking.

But soon, as if he had thought of something, he asked, "Speaking of which, if Xiaolin is a noble, has he ever met the great leader?"

"Well, didn't he entertain the [Roble Holy Kingdom] envoys some time ago? I saw him from a distance."

"How is he? Is he as handsome, gentle, generous and polite as the rumors say, making people feel admiration when they see him?"

"Huh, huh?"

Nina, who spoke very fast, held his hands, and his eyes were shining with excitement, just like Xiaolin who couldn't control himself just now.

Polar reversal?

And why would a man become so excited when he heard the name of another man?

Do you have that kind of habit?

Dain said helplessly: "Forgive him, don't look at it like this, Nina is actually a fan of Mr. Lin."

"Is, is it...?"

The alternative fan meeting made Xiaolin a little embarrassed.

"So, how is it?"

"Hmm, hmm... not much different from what the rumors say, about the same...?"

Sorry, it's really embarrassing to praise yourself, I don't know how to praise myself at all, Kobayashi, who is not thick-skinned, can only go along with Nina's words.

"That's great..."

Nina was yearning.

Seeing this, Kobayashi asked curiously: "Mr. Nina, could it be that you... no, everyone, are members of the Axis Church?"

"Uh... no, no."

"Although that church is for the common people and has done a lot of good things, how should I put it..."

"I don't quite understand their thinking."

"Right?"

The slightly embarrassed excuses of the people from [Black Sword] made Kobayashi cover his face, ashamed.

I'm sorry, the Axis Church is a church with a problem in the brain, I'm really sorry!

Why, why is it like this!

Originally, it was just an ordinary church, and it was obviously developing in a good direction, why is it like this? !

Seeing them like this, Ainz also became interested in the Axis Church, and couldn't help asking: "Excuse me, has this church done anything strange?"

"That's not the case, but their doctrine, how should I put it... well, it's a little weird."

"Weird doctrine?"

Ainz raised his nonexistent eyebrows.

It's not that there are no churches in YGGDRASIL. Not only in the real world, but also in the official background story of the game, there are quite a few churches. Even their Great Tomb has attacked many churches for development.

In the final analysis, the nature of the church is similar to that of a guild. They just spread the praises of God and attribute everything to the grace of God. There is nothing strange about it.

——Until he heard about the Axis doctrine, he thought so.

And the teachings of Axis…

[Axis believers can achieve this by working hard. Even if they fail, it is not the believers’ fault. If they cannot succeed, it is the world’s fault. ]

[Just escape from unhappy things. Escape is not failure. ]

[If you hesitate too long and come up with an answer, you will regret it no matter what you choose. Anyway, you will regret it. Just choose the happiness of the present. Don’t worry too much about your old age. Even the gods don’t know whether you will smile in the future. So just enjoy the present. ]

[Not wanting to work hard is the world’s fault, bad nature is the environment’s fault, and being ugly is the fault of genetic genes. Don’t blame yourself, just shift the responsibility to others. ]

[Universalism, as long as the love object is not an undead or a demon, as long as there is love and it is not illegal, everyone can be forgiven. ]

[The seventh teaching of Axis: You, don’t be patient. Drink when you want to drink, eat when you want to eat. Because you may not be able to eat tomorrow. ]

[Since you are going to fail anyway, you might as well let it go and run away after failure! 】

…Ah, what?

Are you sure it’s a doctrine and not a bad Bible?

Ever since he heard this doctrine, Ainz’s mouth under his helmet has never closed, and it has been getting wider and wider.

It’s completely different from what he imagined!

After all, shouldn’t doctrines usually praise God and attribute all blessings to God? But what’s the matter with this bad Bible? Did this church develop on this doctrine? Shouldn’t it decline and fall quickly?

Even though Ainz has rich knowledge and insights and lives in modern times, he was shocked by this strange doctrine.

No wonder the people from the [Black Sword] looked regretful when they heard the Axis Church. Anyone who heard it would think it was abnormal, right?

In the end, Ainz could only answer dryly: It’s really, really a surprising doctrine. ”

“Is it? And I also heard that they have a very important doctrine that all Axis believers must remember. ”

“Huh? "

Seeing Lukrut suddenly become serious, Ainz also subconsciously became nervous.

He only heard him say:

"——Eris's breasts are padded!"

"...What?"

"Eris's breasts are padded."

I know! I can hear it! What I mean is, why is this the most important doctrine?! Eris must be the mortal enemy of the goddess, so she slandered her like this, right? But why do I always feel that this goddess is a little petty?

Ainz's expression under the helmet kept changing, and he was also complaining wildly in his heart.

"Padded..."

For some reason, Nina lowered his head and touched his chest. It's just that his action was very obscure, and no one noticed it.

On the other side, Xiaolin also shrank his body, covering his cheeks and looking ashamed to see people, and no one knew what he was ashamed of.

At this time, Peter said helplessly: "That's it, Axis is a very good church, but the doctrine is a little strange. "

"In fact, there is news that they introduced these doctrines to prevent the nobles from causing trouble and to compromise for the common people to have a good place to go. After all, the struggle in this country is very severe."

"Is that so..."

Hearing Peter and Lukrut's answers, Ainz nodded in understanding and slowly put down his inner uneasiness.

I guess this church is nothing to be afraid of.

However, what he didn't know was that this weird church with weird doctrines would become his biggest, strongest and most difficult opponent and obstacle to dominating the world in the future.
