Chapter 109: A World Without Pain
When the Skinner Duke and his daughter knelt before Ambrose, he immediately felt a change ripple through the Golden Throne.
The gold was proliferating, and not by a small amount at that.
Ambrose could clearly sense that their act of kneeling alone had added the equivalent of several gold coins to the Throne's weight.
Neither the living mercury slimes nor the undead he had created could have done the same. No matter how long they knelt, his total gain amounted to less than a single coin.
There were two reasons for this sudden surge. First, humans possessed intelligence far exceeding that of artificial constructs or undead servants.
Second, both of those before him were fanatics, zealots whose devotion was on an entirely different level from ordinary believers.
Husky had sufficient intelligence, but he merely regarded Ambrose as an employer. Loyalty wasn't the issue. Reverence was. He did not truly revere Ambrose and could hardly devote himself to Ambrose as a result.
Ambrose quietly resolved to give that irreverent fellow a proper "reminder" later.
More importantly, this experiment delighted him for another reason: even faith obtained through deception could still be converted directly into divine "funding."
