Chapter 351: The Sudden Ritual
Loren's promise filled Caroline with an immense sense of security. She wouldn't question his words, believing in him with her whole heart and soul.
This was also Loren's most genuine thought. His view of this world was: save it if you can, hide if you can't. If the sky falls, let the tall ones hold it up. Even for their own sake, the gods would have to fight with all their might against the Outer Gods.
At worst, if the God of Light and Fire unified the world in the end, Loren could just switch sides and become a mentor in the Church of Light and Fire. Though by then, the God of Light and Fire probably wouldn't be called that anymore. Reciting all of its authorities might take a good long while.
Loren had only one bottom line: the people around him. As long as that line wasn't crossed, Loren could still pretend to be a devout believer just like he was now.
The day passed peacefully like this. At night, while Loren slept, he continued to control Gwen's actions through his subconscious. Loren had completely grown accustomed to this method; under his control, Gwen worked year-round without a single day off.
Fortunately, Gwen had no life, so Loren didn't have to feel too guilty about it.
At night, Gwen soared through the air with the help of the World Card. Even through the puppet, Loren's True Sight Eye remained effective, so he didn't have to worry about encountering any magic with cognitive concealment.
The Royal Capital had many more trees now. Loren knew these trees were all tokens of the God of Bountiful Harvest, their bark carved with the runes Loren had provided. It was these trees that were blocking the God of Greed's sacrificial ritual.
However, during this simple patrol, Gwen actually discovered something important.
