In the depths of Dawn Cathedral,

by this time, the night had deepened,

The believers who were praying inside the cathedral had long since left, leaving only Lis and several figures in white priest robes.

Lis’s somewhat bewildered eyes, upon hearing the elder’s voice beside his ear, focused instantly, noticing the people standing before him.

Directly in front of him, about two meters away, stood an old man in a pure white robe, whose face bore ancient wrinkles and eyes filled with a worldly expression that noticed the old man’s long years at first glance.

Although clad only in the simplest white priest robe without any decoration or pattern, this man’s status no longer needed any external embellishment.

Legendary Priest of the Dawn Church, [Holy Light] Lord Morris!

This legendary priest was a significant figure to Lis as well, and although his power was not on par with [Judgement Flame], within the legends, he was also a prominent figure.

As his words faded, Lis felt a warmth akin to the early spring dawn surge into his body, not only cleansing the fatigue from receiving the baptism of the Power of Faith but also slowly nourishing his body.

Lis, not pausing to check his gains, quickly stepped back a few steps and bowed with his hand on his chest.

"It is an honor to meet you, Lord Morris!"

"No need for such formalities, my Lord’s child, I am also pleased to meet you."

A mild smile appeared on Morris’s aged face as he looked at Lis with some kindness.

It had been he who had just personally extended the invitation to Lis to join the Dawn Church.

Unlike [Judgement Flame], who isn’t considerably old among legends, this saint of the Dawn Church had already lived nearly a thousand years, and even with the protection of the God of Dawn’s divine power, his remaining time wasn’t much.

Yet even so, Morris was one of the highest-ranking individuals in the Dawn Church, second only to the Pope of the Dawn Church in the Gaia World.

It goes without saying, such a significant figure wouldn’t speak thoughtlessly, making jokes about a child.

Lis also didn’t feel any disdain, as in front of this figure, he was fully qualified both in strength and age to address Lis so.

The young paladin Oriel stood behind Morris, looking at Lis with a somewhat shocked expression.

In his memory, Lord Morris had never before invited anyone to join the Dawn Church in such a manner.

However...

Oriel, sensing the considerably thinned Power of Faith in the cathedral, did not rashly speak out.

The status of Lord Morris in their hearts made them almost unconditionally trust his judgment.

Moreover, that Lis managed to absorb so much Power of Faith inside the vast Dawn Cathedral was beyond their imagination.

One must know, the Power of Faith nurtured within the Dawn Cathedral is a special power purified at great cost by the Dawn Church, known as Dawn Power.

Dawn Power not only greatly benefits the priests and paladins of the Dawn Church but even ordinary people who bask in this power for a long time can strengthen their bodies and extend their lives.

This is a special capability only powerful churches possess.

Now, the power within the Dawn Cathedral had been absorbed by a third by Lis, and it was uncertain how long it would take to regain its previous level.

Although the priests of the Dawn Church felt pained seeing this, they had nothing to say.

Not to mention that Lis didn’t seem to do it intentionally; even if he had, Lis was invited by them, and they hadn’t forbidden anyone from absorbing the power in the cathedral; surely, they couldn’t treat him differently just because Lis managed to do this?

At the same time, they were curious as to why Lis was able to do this?

Even Oriel, the one with the strongest talent within the church, had never encountered such an exaggerated situation; how could Lis, a mage, absorb so much Dawn Power?

Lis, of course, was unaware of the specialty of Dawn Power; in his past life, no player had encountered such a situation, not even those priests who had joined the Dawn Church.

In his eyes, what he absorbed seemed to be just the Power of Faith, albeit faintly bearing the aura of the God of Dawn’s divine power.

"Child, would you like to worship My Lord and join the Dawn Church?"

Morris asked Lis again, his demeanor gentle, not at all like a legendary figure but more like a friendly elderly neighbor.

Lis, pausing ceremoniously for a moment as if pondering, shook his head and said:

"I apologize, Lord Morris."

"I would prefer to follow Mr. Stephens, exploring the mysteries of magic."

Upon hearing this, Morris showed no displeasure, instead expressing a bit of regret:

"Stephens, eh? He’s really fortunate!"

He had already known Lis’s choice, yet he couldn’t help but extend the invitation.

Converting Lis into a Dawn Priest would come at a significant cost, but Morris felt it was worth it.

Although unclear why Lis could absorb so much Dawn Power, there was no doubt that this Marquis Kane had a remarkable affinity with the divine power of the God of Dawn, a rarity Morris had seldom seen over countless years.

If Lis was willing, it would be good; if he was unwilling, even he, [Holy Light] Lord Morris, could not forcibly take him from the hands of [Judgement Flame].

Moreover, an Arcanist who had already advanced to Gold Level was extremely steadfast in his convictions, making the hope of converting him to worship the God of Dawn very slim.
