Pioneer Lord: A Leisurely Imperial Life

Chapter 145 You Look So Alike

I saw the determination in Lina's eyes.

Richard was quite surprised.

He slowly stood up, touched Lina's forehead to check for fever, and only asked her questions after confirming there was nothing wrong.

"Why choose this?"

A woman's beauty and charm can not only be fully displayed, but also showcase a unique style that can win the lord's favor.

Even if she wanted to participate in the battle, there was still the Flower Language Sword Maiden, a class that was both offensive and defensive, with a graceful figure.

But she chose to forgo all those glamorous options and opted for the most ruthless profession: assassin.

What were you thinking?

...

Richard was puzzled.

Lina grasped his broad, calloused hands in return, her tone earnest and solemn.

"Although Karl and Lord Im will arrange for soldiers to take turns guarding the lord's mansion in the future, it will only be for external defense."

"As the head maid and a member of the combat maids, it is my responsibility to protect the master and ensure the safety of Chiffon Castle."

"The Shadow Blade class is more effective at dealing with assassinations that occur within the castle than the Flower Language Swordswoman in direct combat."

Her words warmed Richard's heart.

I knew I was right to choose her as the head maid; she's so sensible.

They know to put responsibility first and never only consider their own preferences.

Thinking of this.

He leaned down and whispered something suggestive and alluring in Lina's ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear.

A warm breath brushed against her ear, and Lina's cheeks flushed instantly. She gazed at Richard with seductive eyes.

Richard chuckled and ruffled her hair, then stopped teasing her and decisively changed her job.

[Job change successful! Lina has mastered the four skills of Shadow Blade:]

【Shadow Sense (Passive): When holding one's breath and concentrating, one can sense all traces of living beings within a ten-meter radius. The range expands according to one's level, and one can also conceal one's extraordinary aura.】

【Shadow Strike (Single Target): Teleports to a single target at close range, dealing five times the physical and magical damage.

【Shadow Track (Enhanced): Allows you to disappear into the shadows, completely concealing your presence and tripling your agility for one minute】

【Shadow Strike (Special): Burns all magic power, the next attack's power is increased by 100 times, and there is a 1 in 10,000 chance to ignore the difference in combat power between the enemy and ourselves and instantly kill the target】

...

After her life force was transformed into magic, Lina felt as if all the light around her was being swallowed up, merging with the shadows.

She closed her eyes to calm herself.

result...

[Shadow Sense] Passive trigger.

In an instant, the breathing and heartbeats of the other maids within a ten-meter radius were clearly displayed in her mind.

Even the few small insects hiding in the cracks of the soil in the flowerpot had nowhere to hide.

This magical sensation stirred her suppressed girlish thoughts, and she revealed a playful smile.

next second.

Her figure suddenly vanished!

There was no light.

There are no petals.

As if he had vanished into thin air, he completely disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only a faint black shadow on the floor.

Silently.

Even the extraordinary aura was completely extinguished.

The dark shadow flashed past Richard's feet, skimming the ground to a corner of the hall, then suddenly darted back to its original position, almost impossible to spot with the naked eye.

Swish!

Lina's figure suddenly reappeared in everyone's sight.

She remained standing in the same spot, a playful smile still on her lips, as if she had never left.

All the maids stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

Previously, everyone's job changes, whether it was the petals of the Flower Language Swordswoman, the updated release! Book lovers have all gone to Cola Novels to read it! The pillar of light of the Apostle of Life, the magic halo of the Heavenly Songstress.

Whether it's the Soul-Stealing Archer of the Eight Guards of Chiffon or the Dragon Emperor's Guard, they all transform life force or magic power into external strength.

Whether acting on the physical body or the outside, even Richard's flight is still a physical body suspended in the air, visible and tangible.

In contrast, Lina...

It means the body has completely disappeared without a trace!

This is no longer a simple enhancement of professional strength; it has touched upon the fundamental physical laws of space!

Just as everyone else is trying to figure out how to make dishes more delicious, Lina has transformed herself into a plate for serving dishes!

This scene completely defied everyone's preconceived notions; it was bizarre, defied the heavens, and was utterly shocking!

But...

While everyone stared at Lina in shock, Wendy was different; she looked at Richard with disbelief.

In his eyes.

With a hint of...

Frightened!

She took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"My lord, I have something I'd like to report to you."

...

Richard was smiling and admiring Lina's Shadow skill when he heard this. He assumed that she couldn't contain herself and had found a job she liked, but was too shy to say it.

He then waved his hand, dismissing all the maids from the lord's hall, and returned to his seat as lord, smiling at Wendy.

"Speak."

"Whatever profession you want, you'll be stationed at the City Hall in the future. You don't need to choose a combat profession; just pick one you like."

Wendy shook her head.

He lowered his voice and said:

"Richard, don't you think... there's something strange about your ability to change other people into extraordinary professions?"

He thought about it for a moment, not seeing anything wrong with it, then squinted and asked:

"This is a magical ability I comprehended from my own life-based magic talent. Is there a problem?"

Wendy sighed, then glanced back at the gate to make sure there was no one else nearby.

Then he spoke with a tense tone.

whispered:

"Didn't you consider the relationship between the Holy See and the priests?"

"All the priests claimed that after they worshipped the Goddess of Light and were then enlightened by the Archbishop, they were able to gain the Goddess's favor and thus master the magic of light."

"And you..."

"With just a thought, you can reconstruct the power system within another person and lead them into areas they have never been before."

"What you're doing seems to have no fundamental difference from the Holy See's claim of being blessed and enlightened by the Goddess of Light."

"The Church of Light has an Inquisition that forbids others from researching the secrets of Light; otherwise, they will be labeled heretics and burned at the stake. And you seem to want outsiders to know that you can change the class of soldiers..."

"you..."

"It looks very similar..."

...

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Richard thought to himself, "Wow, it really does look alike!"

The process of imparting knowledge among humans is always done through verbal instruction and personal example, in the form of a teacher guiding a disciple.

All the major mage towers, alchemy towers, academies, and the like do this.

Only the Church of Light stands out by enabling its priests to gain enlightenment on the spot through light magic, transcending the four basic magics of earth, water, air, and fire.

Through the system's capabilities, he can enable others to directly alter their life force from within their bodies, or even create something from nothing, reconstructing their original power system.

this...

Did the Pope of Light also get a cheat code?
