Chapter 54: I, the Paladin
"Jennifer, have you ever heard of Paladins?" As Jennifer's eyes gradually darkened and became desperate, Bai Shihang began to prepare to tell a story.
Jennifer shook her head. She didn't know much about these subcultures. She had only heard of them and knew that this term was more common in entertainment circles such as games, novels, and movies.
One of her female friends likes to play games. Thanks to her, Jennifer has at least heard of "priest", "warrior", "assassin", and a voiceover that she often hears when she plays games: "Wow, you play well."
She didn't know why, but every time she heard it she would go crazy for a while.
"I was born into a family of paladins. We paladins spend our entire lives fighting to destroy demons. The reason I came here is that I knew in advance that a powerful demon was about to awaken, so I rushed here to see if I could help." Bai Shihang didn't even blush.
Even if it makes things worse, it’s still helping!
Jennifer naturally wouldn't believe it so easily, even though the thick smoke of New York was still floating in the sky: "So, why are you telling me this? Does it mean that a paladin can't have a wife or can't help a woman?"
"No, no, we don't reject the reproduction of our bloodline. It is one of the means to strengthen our resistance against the demons." Bai Shihang said seriously, "For example, I already know more than a dozen 'aunts'."
Jennifer opened her mouth. The competition for positions around rich people was so fierce. Could it be that she couldn't even be a mistress and could only be a concubine?
Oh no, I want to go abroad to find a job, right? Although being a lover seems to be fine.
"The reason I tell you this is because I discovered that you might have hidden Paladin bloodline." Bai Shihang said seriously.
Jennifer's expression suddenly became extremely interesting, even more interesting than the current situation in New York when she just woke up.
"Me! Paladin bloodline?! Just, just that drunkard and street walker?! I would rather believe that you are God than believe that they can have anything to do with such a high-end term!"
Bai Shihang held down the excited Jennifer: "Oh, calm down, think about it, do you feel that you are out of tune with your family members and have no genetic relationship with them? Why are they so stupid and ugly while you are so smart and beautiful? Maybe you are not their biological child."
Jennifer was stunned and subconsciously accepted the explanation she had longed for.
Yes, the mother actually wanted her daughter to follow in her footsteps. She said that since she had jumped from being a call girl to a high-level call girl, her fees would have to double. She asked her to take on more clients and take care of the family when she grew up.
And the way his father and his brother looked at him was sometimes so wrong.
Jennifer grabbed Bai Shihang's hand, and carefully pressed it against her chest as if she was holding her own destiny. "So, this bloodline, I mean, is there a way to find my biological family?"
Bai Shihang shook his head: "In the long river of history, the Paladins cut off cooperation with the church that was going further and further astray. As a result, they became increasingly decadent. Many famous Paladin families disappeared into the dust because their families did not produce new awakeners."
"I can't help you find your biological parents, but I can try to guide you to awaken the blood of the Paladin and make you a glorious battle sister."
"Uh, why don't I become a paladin? And can I really be a nun?" Jennifer didn't need to look in the mirror to know that her body was covered in turbidity inside and out.
"Don't worry about it. It's just a saying. In that era, some distinctions were always made. There was even a period of time when combat sisters were treated as witches."
Shiraishi Hang activates the skill "History of Time"!
Effect: I'm talking about history.
"Come, sit cross-legged. Well, you should clean up first."
After a few minutes, Bai Shihang made up a set of awakening rituals and then marked her.
"I see it, I see it! God, this is God? Owen, why does it look like you?" Jennifer widened her eyes. The shadow of God in her mind felt more and more like the person next to her. It was not a similarity in appearance, but a similarity that was difficult to describe. If I had to say it, it was the similarity in "sense of presence".
"It's an illusion. Maybe it's because I'm your guide." Bai Shihang said casually.
Jennifer pursed her lips and didn't ask any further questions.
"I was right. You are indeed very talented. Now, you can try to borrow power from 'God'." Bai Shihang guided him step by step.
When Jennifer heard the word "borrow", she asked subconsciously: "Will there be interest? Will it be like a student loan?" "We are all fighting for God. He won't care about these things."
With the thoughtful guidance of the lender, Shiraishi Hang, Jennifer quickly mastered the ability of the "Battle Nun".
"To borrow power, you must have a strong belief in borrowing power. If you are fighting against demons, you need to borrow divine power, or if you need healing, you can also borrow healing power."
In fact, to put it simply, they correspond to [Attack and Defense in One], [Holy Light] and [Damage Aura] respectively.
Jennifer felt the powerful force and murmured, "No wonder I am no match for you."
Bai Shihang smiled politely: "Not now either."
Jennifer's eyes seemed eager to try.
After the introduction, Jennifer was greatly encouraged. With this power, no one could force her to walk into a future she was unwilling to try.
"Thank you, dear!" Jennifer hugged Bai Shihang tightly.
At this moment, she found that she seemed to have truly fallen.
"I need a favor from you."
"you say!"
"I just received a revelation that Michael left his relics to the church and enlightened a priest of St. John's Cathedral to be a paladin. This shows that it is time for us paladins to resume cooperation with the church."
"I hope that you can, on behalf of our various Paladin families, test the church's current attitude toward us."
"I do!" Jennifer agreed without hesitation.
She was not the kind of person who took advantage and was unwilling to take responsibility. Just as she had also thought about becoming Shiraishi Hang's mistress, as long as Shiraishi Hang agreed, she would immediately study "One Hundred Ways to Please a Man", "How to Catch the Bird and the Stomach", "Tongue Tie Training Manual" and the like.
Now, she has a more dignified responsibility, and she feels obliged to do it.
However, the things just mentioned are not impossible to learn.
"Thank you. This is the ring my mother left behind. When you wear it, I can sense your location at any time. If there is any danger, I will be by your side as soon as possible." Bai Shihang handed Jennifer the platinum ring that he had bought for zero yuan earlier.
This ring has a unique and beautiful shape and is stored in a valuable place. It is impossible to be a wholesale product.
The next second, he underestimated the appeal of this thing to women.
Just think of Jennifer as my private property. Please be gentle.
This book won't have a real heroine.
As compensation, I will update one more chapter tonight.
This week, we will also make major changes to the previous part. The Holy Infant Church may be changed to the Holy Infant Society, a community, a company, or something like that.
