I'm really not a Sanctuary Warlock.

"You're level 3?"

Lynn was completely stunned.

Level 3?

He subconsciously sensed the changes in his body. After an afternoon of meditation, he did feel a warm current flowing through his body, and his spirits were much more refreshed. But how could the level classification of this thing be so arbitrary?

He thought it would be something more sophisticated, but it turned out to be a simple and straightforward system of levels, just like in online games.

Anna caught his momentary hesitation and confusion, and then belatedly realized that the meditation manual she had casually given him only contained the methods of meditation, without any introduction to the most basic levels.

The opportunity is here.

The frost on Anna's usually aloof and beautiful face quietly melted away.

That tenderness I felt at our first meeting resurfaced once more.

"I'll teach you, come with me."

Strictly speaking, this should also be considered a form of help.

Anna hoped that this action would restore even a tiny bit of her sanity.

Lynn had no reason to refuse, so he nodded and followed behind Anna.

The two walked one after the other in the deserted church corridor late at night, with only Anna's faint fragrance wafting into Lynn's nostrils.

Anna's bedroom was not far from Lynn's room; it was just a long corridor away.

Although it's called a bedroom, the interior decoration is actually as simple as Lynn's room.

Apart from being several times larger and having an additional separate study and living room, there are almost no unnecessary decorations.

This surprised Lynn, who had imagined that the saint's residence would be magnificent and opulent.

Upon entering the palace, Anna naturally took off her ivory-white soft shoes and casually placed them by the door, revealing her bare feet, untouched by dust.

Her ankles were slender, her arches were beautifully curved, and her ten small toes were round and cute, gleaming with a delicate and warm luster under the soft yellow light.

She has fair and delicate skin.

Lynn's attention was instantly drawn to it.

"What are you looking at?"

Anna's cold voice suddenly rang out.

Oh no, I got so engrossed in watching it once I turned on auto-aimed.

Lynn's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked away.

It's not surprising that he was like this. Having seen so many products created with advanced technology in his previous life, seeing such a pure, natural, and flawless creation was, in terms of sheer impact, akin to a dimensional reduction attack.

His mind raced as he tried to come up with a plausible excuse.

"that……"

"The moon is so beautiful tonight, so round and bright."

Lynn was talking nonsense with a straight face.

"Oh."

Anna didn't dwell on it much, perhaps because she didn't notice the awkwardness in his words, or perhaps because she simply didn't care. She led Lynn straight into the study.

The study is small, but very tidy.

Both walls are lined with bookshelves that reach the ceiling, densely packed with all kinds of books, most of which look quite old from their covers.

"Please sit down," Anna said, pointing to the chair in front of the desk.

She herself went around to the back of the desk and stood there.

“Your Highness, this is not proper. I am merely a servant; this is not in accordance with etiquette,” Lynn said somewhat awkwardly.

"Don't be shy."

Anna's voice was devoid of emotion.

"It will be over soon."

“Put your hand out,” she commanded.

Lynn was puzzled, but he still obediently extended his right hand.

The next second, a soft, gentle hand grabbed his wrist.

Before Lynn could react, a massive flow of information surged into his mind from the point of contact between the two.

Everything about the "Appraisal" spell was completely grasped by him in an instant, as if he had practiced the spell thousands of times.

Holy crap, is this even possible?

Lynn was completely stunned. This method of instruction, comparable to a divine initiation, was simply unheard of.

What about other spells? Can they also be learned quickly in this way?

His heart instantly burned with excitement.

Anna released her grip and calmly said, "Use Appraisal on me."

Lynn suppressed his excitement and subconsciously began to draw upon the new knowledge he had just acquired.

"Identification Techniques".

A blue, illusory light screen, visible only to him, instantly appeared on Anna.

【Name:? ? ? 】

[Level: 1]

【Profession:???】

Health Points: ???

[Sanity Value: ???]

A row of question marks pierced through the entire panel.

Holy crap.

Lynn was stunned.

Apart from a clearly fake "Level 1", all other information is unknown.

Ordinary people are only level 1, how could this Holy Maiden only be level 1?

In that case, what's the point of this appraisal technique? Is it just for show?

“You’ve noticed something, haven’t you?” Anna’s voice pulled Lynn back from his shock. “Sometimes, intuition is much more accurate than appraisal.”

"Therefore, the information obtained from the identification can only be used as a reference and cannot be completely trusted."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "You should have noticed your level by now. In the continent of Aslant, levels 1-10 are a stage full of infinite possibilities, also known as the introductory period. During this stage, you can enhance your strength by tempering your body, or enhance your elemental perception through meditation. In short, it's about laying a solid foundation for future job advancement."

"Change job?"

"Yes. There are six main professions for humans: warrior, knight, rogue, mage, warlock, and priest."

"Each major profession has many different branches. For example, a warrior can specialize in berserkers who abandon defense and pursue ultimate destructive power, or become an indestructible bulwark guardian who protects teammates, or a ranger who is proficient in wilderness survival and tracking."

"Among mages, there are melee mages who strengthen themselves and are good at close combat, rune mages who study ancient scripts and inscribe runes, and elemental mages who control various elements."

Wow, that's great!

Lynn's heart started pounding uncontrollably.

Isn't this the life he's always dreamed of in another world? He'll become a knight, clad in heavy armor, wielding a longsword—he'll be so cool it'll be unbelievable.

If nothing unexpected happens, there might be spell-related professions under the Knight branch. If you could be an Arcane Knight, that would be incredibly cool!

Anna quietly watched the excitement and longing on Lynn's face, and then poured a bucket of ice water on him.

"I suggest you go down the warlock path."

Chapter Ten: Warlock Route

Warlock route.

These four words swirled in Lynn's mind, leaving him momentarily speechless.

In his understanding, the profession of warlock either involves making a pact with a demon or having a special power flowing in one's bloodline.

They are born with talents or innate magical abilities that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

and many more……

Companion spell?

Lynn's thoughts suddenly became clear.

From another perspective, isn't this curse that makes people hate you wherever you go also a powerful, innate talent?

A terrifying ability that can directly affect sanity.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Anna assumed he was still hesitating, so she continued speaking, her words now carrying a greater air of seriousness.

"You can't be my servant forever. The only way to truly get rid of the identity of the cursed child is to be reborn."

"Warlock is the best job change path for you."

Lynn was completely stunned.

He raised his head and stared blankly at the saintess before him.

Her blonde hair shone softly in the dim light, and her exquisite face was full of seriousness, without a trace of pretense.

She was genuinely thinking about her future.

This... the script is wrong.

Given Lynn's tragic experiences over the past few days since his arrival and his limited understanding of this world, shouldn't Anna's most reasonable course of action be to keep him by her side?

As long as he feels grateful to her, she can continuously regain her sanity and completely change her destiny.

This is the choice that best serves her interests.

But now, she is sincerely planning a path for herself to escape her current situation.

This surprised Lynn.

Could his guess be wrong, and his gratitude prevented him from regaining his sanity?

No, there must be some other reason, otherwise Anna wouldn't have just recruited him as a servant yesterday and said such things today.

To be honest, Lynn still preferred to stay by Anna's side.

After all, it includes food and lodging, and the other party is a stunningly beautiful woman; it's much better than being homeless.

Unexpectedly, Anna chose to be honest so early on, or rather, helped him choose the right path.

I... I really did meet some good people.

Anna was quietly waiting for Lynn's answer when suddenly, the world that had been dim before her eyes lit up.

It was no longer that grayish-white with an underlying tone, but rather everything around it had completely regained its original colors.

The brown bookshelf, the off-white walls, Lynn's black hair, and his eyes that were reflecting his own image.

Everything came alive and vibrant.

Name: Anna

[Level: 57]

【Occupation: Radiant Saintess】

【HP: 100%】

[Sanity value: 56-70 / The evil god's familiars will no longer actively seek you out.]

An absolutely safe value.
