章 267: Chapter 268: Emlyn White Appears
Father Utravsky quietly listened to Lynn's request, his expression remaining unchanged and gentle as he said, "There's no need for that. I never intended to keep that sanguine locked up indefinitely. As long as it's confirmed he's not dangerous and has no intent to commit evil deeds, I will release him after some time."
"Since you came for him and verified he's harmless, once my problem is resolved, you can naturally take him away. However, I hope that in the future, he can return to the church daily to volunteer for an hour. This will help him better understand the teachings of The Earth Mother and prevent him from straying down the wrong path," Father Utravsky said unhurriedly.
As a favored of the Earth Mother, he was well-versed in the church's tradition of developing Sanguine as colleagues. So, while he was willing to release Emlyn for Klein and Lynn's sake, he still harbored the intention of spreading his faith.
Lynn wasn't surprised by this and didn't intend to stop it. After all, becoming a follower of the Earth Mother would be a great benefit for Emlyn. Even if Father Utravsky hadn't proposed it, Lynn would have.
Smiling, Lynn said, "Thank you very much, Father Utravsky. I believe Mr. Emlyn won't mind volunteering for a while."
Beside him, Klein's expression was subtle. Knowing the Earth Mother's tradition of converting Sanguines, he realized that Father Utravsky intended to make Emlyn a follower.
However, Klein had no position to object, as it was a normal promotion of faith. Father Utravsky wasn't forcibly changing anyone's belief through brainwashing or hypnosis—normal evangelism was something every church did.
After finalizing the matter of Emlyn, Father Utravsky didn't waste time and immediately lit the Mental Terror Candle.
Soon, Lynn saw both people close their eyes, entering the dream world and the priest's dreamland.
Watching for a while, Lynn mused, 'I can't see anything. How can I act as a spectator? Should I enter the dream too?'
Lynn's expression was eager as he held a scroll, a Spectator pathway scroll, which could help him enter others' dreams.
However, after a few seconds of thought, Lynn put the scroll away. There wasn't any particular reason—mainly because the main battlefield was Father Utravsky's dreamland. If Lynn joined in, he wouldn't perform well. Using outside abilities in someone else's dreamland might risk causing Father Utravsky to lose control.
Though a fun-loving person, Lynn had his limits. So, he just watched them for a while. Finding it dull, he decided to wander around Harvest Church.
Since he couldn't play the role of spectator or witness a magic show, Lynn decided to return for the results after the fight.
A few minutes later, Lynn wandered into the church's living area and saw a passage leading underground. At the end of the passage, someone was pounding on a stone door.
"Let me out!"
Lynn raised an eyebrow but didn't step into the underground passage. Instead, he calmly said, "Hello, Emlyn White!"
"You know me?" Emlyn, trapped behind the stone door, was startled and then asked, "Are you here to rescue me?"
Because of the distance, Emlyn hadn't heard Lynn and Father Utravsky's conversation in the hall.
"You could say that. I accepted a commission from your parents to find you. Though their reward doesn't match the difficulty of the task, considering you're somewhat interesting, I came to save you." Lynn smiled.
"Then get me out quickly! Be careful of that priest, he's strong, probably a Sequence 6," Emlyn hurriedly urged, then remembered to warn, "He's very powerful."
"Ahem," Lynn gently cleared his throat to interrupt and said, "Don't worry. I've already reached an agreement with Father Utravsky. He's agreed to release you. However, you'll need to volunteer for an hour daily at the Harvest Church for a while. I believe this won't be difficult for you, right?"
"Huh?" Emlyn was taken aback, then exclaimed, "Why should I volunteer... Oh, I see. He wants to preach to me and convert me to the Earth Mother!"
"Hmph, no way! My devotion to the Moon and the Ancestor won't change. I won't convert to the Earth Mother."
'Sure, because the Earth Mother and your Ancestor are the same person, so it's practically no change at all.' Lynn chuckled inwardly but outwardly kept a smile. He said, "So, you don't want to agree to Father Utravsky's terms and prefer to stay locked up here?"
"I... No, this..." Emlyn, who had been vehemently objecting, suddenly hesitated. He didn't want to stay locked up but also didn't want to agree to Father Utravsky's terms.
Perhaps Emlyn didn't mind volunteering so much as he hated the idea of being preached to convert.
At this moment, Lynn added fuel to the fire, "By the way, I forgot to tell you. Since you've been missing for a while, though your parents commissioned a detective to find you, they've moved away. This means your room full of dolls is unattended. One day, a thief might break in and steal your precious dolls to sell cheaply to unappreciative people."
Lynn didn't finish his sentence, but Emlyn's imagination ran wild. He pictured a thief entering his room and selling his beloved figurines cheaply to people who couldn't appreciate them. Instantly, he shouted,
"Absolutely not! I won't allow that to happen!"
