The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing Chapter 158 - 152: Merlin: An Su’s Deeper Understanding of H

"Why is this kid still here..." Stay updated with empire

His Excellency rlin’s gaze underwent a subtle change.

If he wants to stay here, let him stay. Let’s see who can outlast whom.

Bishop rlin went to plant flowers.

An Su could now persist in reading for three minutes at a ti. Since he couldn’t morize, he had to take in all the magic circuits in one go.

When the afternoon sunlight pierced through the mist and the day’s color slowly turned a yellowish hue, rlin watered his beloved garden and turned back to see that An Su was still there.

Even the smile at the corner of the upstart’s mouth had beco increasingly radiant.

His Excellency rlin’s gaze beca even more nuanced.

Dusk was approaching, and the second day of his vacation was about to end!

"That, child, it’s ti for you to go ho,"

rlin spoke to An Su in a friendly manner.

"Actually, by being able to persist to this extent, you truly are very out...outstanding,"

The tone was so gentle that it surprised rlin himself.

Since birth, the ti of the Great Mage had always been frozen at the mont of his birth, and thus he had always been a newborn.

As a child, teachers called him little newborn, as an adult, the Esoteric Religion referred to him as the old newborn, and his manner of conduct had always been imperious. When had his tone ever been so kind?

A year of gatekeeping had smoothed out the newborn edges of His Excellency rlin.

Everything was for the vacation.

"Your Excellency rlin, please rest assured,"

An Su turned his head slowly, with blood still streaming from the corners of his eyes, but his gaze was as firm as soone about to join the Church, "To spread the glory of my lord, I will not give up."

"There’s no need for you to test with words."

I’m not testing you, I just want you to scram… The Holy Light in His Excellency rlin’s eyes flickered uncertainly, indicating his inner turmoil.

"I really do want you to leave."

An Su’s azure eyes t rlin’s pure white pupils squarely, brimming with sincerity,

"I know, you’re testing my resolve."

The Holy Light in His Excellency rlin’s eyes flickered even faster; he gritted his teeth, feeling that the title of the faceless one should be conferred upon An Su.

"Scram," he lost his composure, "With your current level, there’s absolutely no way you can replicate ’Judgent Light’; don’t waste your ti."

"You’re right, but I won’t give up."

An Su’s shoulders trembled violently with pain. He was like a hot-blooded protagonist, his tone filled with fervor and defiance,

"I really have understood it all along, from the beginning. With my talent, with my abilities, it’s impossible for ."

Dusk fell, and the starry sky began to rise. The brilliant starlight shone on the boy’s face, making his spirit shine so brightly.

"I’ve always known that I’m no genius!"

"But! The only thing I can do is persist; all I have left is persistence… Persistence is my one and only talent!"

Persistence in enduring pain is your only damn talent, kid!

The Holy Light in His Excellency rlin’s eyes was as bright as an incandescent light.

The second day of vacation ended!

His own holiday, ah…

His Excellency rlin felt lifeless inside, as if he were about to retire from frustration.

He even began to suspect that it was all a vast conspiracy, wondering if An Su had been sent by the elders of the Alchemical Church with the purpose of holding him back and preventing him from leaving work.

Truly a terrifying factional struggle.

What rlin did not yet know was that the outside world was also experiencing quite a stir.

Many magicians knew that the first prize of the ’Magic into Campus, Magic to the Countryside’ event was the opportunity to be personally instructed by His Excellency rlin,

But every top scorer who t with His Excellency rlin soon ca down on their own, and when faced with questions from reporters, they just smiled and remained silent—manifestly wishing the misfortune on the next poor soul to face the ordeal of His Excellency rlin.

So ’A Conversation with the God of Law’ beca an unsolved mystery, quite enigmatic.

Even the Holy Maiden from the imperial city only stayed for about an hour before leaving with a strange expression on her face.

But a magician like An Su, who had stayed for two days and nights, that was unprecedented.

Reporters had already crowded the hall of the Magic Guild.

At the sa ti, the Cardinal of the Alchemical Church, His Excellency Randal, was even more astounded and baffled.

’Why hasn’t that old newborn co out to change shifts yet?’

His Excellency Randal knew rlin’s temperant well. It had not been easy for him to get a vacation, and yet he had voluntarily given it up.

Could it be that the saint nad An Su Moningsta was highly regarded by rlin? Engrossed in pleasant conversation, eting too late in life, they probably talked through the night and forgot about the ti, to the point that rlin willingly gave up his vacation…

Was rlin thinking of taking a disciple?

All sorts of rumors were suddenly flying around.

On the third day, the golden sunlight spread over each step, the morning sky was clear and transparent, and the mood of the God of Law was troubled and constipated.

An Su had watched through another night.

He could now concentrate for five minutes at a stretch, which ant he could take in two hundred magic circuits at once—of course, just viewing them, without being able to rember or understand them.

However, his understanding of ’Judgent Light’ had beco clearer than before.

The rlin version of Judgent Light, as well as the previous patriarch’s version, had one thing in common, which was the judgent.

[The Guardian Angel makes a judgent upon all targets. Beings ranked lower than the caster will be beheaded.]

rlin’s judgent was on the soul’s rank of the afflicted...

It was a powerful Appraisal Skill.

The soul’s rank, that is, the quality of the soul, was too profound, too complicated, too abstract,

So An Su had to weaken this aspect and judge sothing more obvious and visible.
