Chapter 175: Chapter 108: All success stems from greed, all failure comes from excessive greed - Part 2

Planck sighed for a while and began to ask the Hell Evil God about his collection, including the Holy Grail of blood. He had wiped out a blood-faith cult and incidentally also crushed the faith of the Hell Evil God.

Faith, after all, is just a deal, and having more of it couldn’t hurt.

There was nothing to hide about the descent of the Hell Evil God, and Wayne recounted the event honestly. When he spoke of how the Evil God, oblivious to its impending death, tried to seize the faith of the Ancient God, Planck’s skeletal head let out a rattling, strange laugh.

If the Evil God hadn’t been so greedy, perhaps its plan to descend to the human world would have been successful.

All success stems from greed, and all failure from being too greedy!

Planck took back the Ancient Silver Coin, asked about the intelligence he wanted to know, and then opened the car door to leave. Wayne was reluctant to let him go just like that and asked about Life Magic and the Silver Cross.

"Every church studies Life Magic, and the situation is very complicated, I can’t tell who is right or wrong..."

Planck gave an example, "The Life Alliance’s Elf evolutionary theory, the skeletonization of Death, including your last encounter with Master Marshall and his disciple, can all be considered Life Magic. This is an extremely vast topic. When you reach the Silver Mage and study the Faith Magic of the Church, your life will naturally begin to evolve."

Wayne noted these words down. Planck was a Liberty Mage of the Liberty Alliance, without absolute faith, he had a more objective view of things, and his points of reference were definitely more valuable than Hefei’s.

"As for the Silver Cross, you can entirely ask your own teacher. The High Priest is a Golden Mage; this small problem won’t stump her."

Planck guessed that Wayne had already asked, and he was pleased that this genius wasn’t solely reliant on his teacher. He clenched his fist and let out a light cough, "The elements that make up the Silver Cross are life, self, space, and deity. We Liberty Mages place ’deity’ last. The deity is important, but it absolutely can’t be singular, as this concerns your future path..."

Planck was very blunt and made it clear, "The High Priest is a disciple of the Nature Goddess; her deity is solely Nature. You are different, defining deity solely as Nature will only limit the heights you can reach in the future."

"Then what should I define the deity as?"

"Logically, the more, the better, but too many is also not good. A person has limits, and with too many faiths, it’s difficult for your essence of life, thought process, and knowledge reserve to keep up. If these four elements become unbalanced, the Silver Cross will never form."

Planck paused to think, "I suggest you work within your capacities. You could see the three goddesses of the Life Alliance as deities and start with these three faiths."

"Of course, you have a Dark Ring in your possession. If you feel that your essence of life and mind are strong enough, you could consider adding darkness to it... Then your knowledge will lag, the High Priest won’t provide you with knowledge about the faith of darkness. When that happens, come find me. The Liberty Alliance is never short of these."

Planck laughed heartily, everything was going according to plan, Wayne was destined to become a Liberty Mage.

Wayne raised an eyebrow. Since darkness had already been added, death could also be included.

To carry the legs of five goddesses at once, would two hands be enough?

Right, he also had tentacles. When the time came, the tentacles could wrap around the long legs of the goddesses, and the effect would be the same.

This is going to be fun!

"Right, your teacher probably didn’t mention that Mages still need to capture the Four Elements during the stage of forging the Silver Cross." Planck patted Wayne’s shoulder, "Remember to come find me, the Ancient Silver Coin can be lent to you for a while."

It’s not going to cost much anyway!

Such good fortune?

Wayne looked at Planck excitedly. Although there was a sense of being calculated, it couldn’t be denied that the old man was a good person, really dependable when needed.

Thank you, Schrödinger!

The car stopped, and Planck left; the Dark Area dissipated, and the view returned to the rain-drenched Jazz Road.

Philark was completely unaware of what had just happened. He drove Master Wayne home, then turned around to pick up the future Mrs. Chris from school.

"It’s too demeaning, not elegant at all. I should hire a professional chauffeur." Seeing Philark bustling about, handling big and small matters for the household, Wayne felt a pang of pity.

With some time before dinner, Wayne spent it in the living room consulting his Knight Teacher about swordsmanship and inquired about the Silver Cross situation.

It’s crucial for his future path. Every step of his cultivation was important. Wayne was not going to merely listen to the devoutly faithful Hefei or the liberal-minded Planck. To put it bluntly, both of their faiths were quite extreme.

Seeking a variety of opinions was the right approach.

Valkyrie looked puzzled. What is the Silver Cross?

Wayne rolled his eyes—blaming himself for forgetting the Knight was brainless—asking her was as good as asking nobody.

September 1st.

Wayne Detective Agency opened quietly, with no banging of gongs or fireworks, and no ripples stirred.

The White Glove Association sent a congratulatory message and, as a friendly gesture, sponsored two commissions.

Wayne looked them over. The first assignment was to find a tycoon’s missing pet dog, not difficult, so he handed it to Wesley; the second needed a train trip far away. Being frail and afraid of encountering Evil Gods outside of Lundan City, he left it for Mona to handle.

As for himself, he focused on magic.

True to his word, he began experimenting with the combination of Magician Girl and stockings in his bedroom that very night.

After a few days of gloom, Vili rekindled her gratuitous spirit, studied the Dragon-Slayer Sword Technique with Valkyrie by day, and at night, complaining about the house being too far and not wanting to walk home in the dark, she decided to stay overnight.

She remembered their agreement from a few days before, to come to Wayne’s bedroom and try on the stockings.
