Path of light

Chapter 278 279. Book of Judgment

Sisters Sabrina and Moira looked at Roy with worried faces. It wasn't until he came back to his senses and shook the shield on his arm vigorously that Sabrina asked with concern:

"Roy, what happened to you just now?"

Roy raised his head, smiled and explained to Sabrina and Moira:

"I was promoted to a priest just now."

Roy thought that he had worked hard to bring two buckets of holy water and put them in the bathtub. They were probably of no use.

There were no lights in the backyard, only a gas lamp hanging under the eaves emitted a faint light, swaying in the wind.

Roy condensed a ball of holy light into his palm, and a ball of holy light appeared in Roy's palm.

Sabrina and Moira cannot see the sacred particles that have just gathered into a magical vortex...

The two of them saw Roy standing still, his aura gradually getting stronger. They didn't know what happened, but there was no pained expression on Roy's face, so they didn't bother him. Now it seems that he has been promoted to a Priest, Moira couldn't help but exclaimed softly.

"What does it feel like to be a priest?" Sabrina asked curiously.

She has been promoted to a sword dancer, a level 10 warrior, ten levels higher than Roy.

In fact, she was only qualified to wear the magic pattern structure after she became a first-level warrior.

Roy thought about it seriously. He was also feeling the changes in his body and said:

"Well... My strength, physique, agility and spirit have all increased, but the biggest improvement should be my mental strength!"

As he spoke, he held up the sacred light in his hand and raised it above his head. The entire backyard was shrouded in this holy light.

"Roy, do you want to continue practicing?" Moira flipped her wrist and made a sword flower dance out of the dagger in her hand...

Roy felt that he had just been promoted to a priest and had not yet fully controlled his own power. In this situation, he could easily be injured, so he said:

"Then let's come here today. I want to tell High Priest Reed the news."

"Okay!" Moira agreed obediently.

"Roy, congratulations on becoming a priest!"

Sabrina also sent her blessings at the right time...

…

After walking out of the yard, Roy breathed a sigh of relief.

He actually felt something yesterday...

After all, the body no longer absorbs the sacred particles around it, and the body is a little different.

He just didn't expect that he would advance in the battle with Moira.

Fortunately, Moira realized something was wrong and stopped in time.

Otherwise, once the promotion is interrupted, we don’t know what will happen next!

I heard from the instructors that when many elves encounter promotion, they will lock themselves in a quiet room to prevent anyone from disturbing them...

Roy ran along Brown Street toward the Temple of Liberty. As he ran, he realized that his speed was much faster than before. His legs and abdomen became stronger, and his rhythm when running became clearer.

Not only that, in the misty night, the world in front of him became clearer. The fishing boats on the pier were no longer lit with lights. The scenery gradually became clearer. He could even see the moving figures on the fishing boats. Originally, these could only be seen in good light. Only in the daytime can you see clearly.

The sound of insects, waves, and quarrels in the yard all reached his ears, becoming increasingly clear.

His nose felt a little itchy, and he began to feel some smells that he couldn't distinguish at first.

He ran to the door of the Statue of Liberty in one breath and walked quickly into the vestibule...

That kind of precise control of rhythm makes him feel particularly comfortable when running.

The fountain in the courtyard has accumulated a lot of rainwater.

It's so late, but there's still light in the main hall...

Roy walked to the door, scratched the crack in the door and looked inside.

High Priest Reed knelt in front of the Statue of Liberty in the main hall and was praying devoutly in front of the statue.

At this time, Roy could not come forward to disturb.

Of course, he never thought about praying in front of the Statue of Liberty.

After High Priest Reed finished his bedtime prayers, he held the candlestick and slowly walked out of the main hall.

He closed the door and turned around to see Roy standing at the door of the main hall. High Priest Reed asked Roy:

"Roy, it's so late, why are you here?"

Roy said to High Priest Reed: "Teacher, I have just been promoted to a priest!"

After saying that, he concentrated the power of holy light in his hand, and a flame-shaped light group condensed out, immediately illuminating the entrance of the main hall, and the shadow of the statue at the door tilted outward...

When Roy became a trainee priest, when the power of holy light was condensed in his hands, it would turn into a mist-like light group, and the entire light group was misty.

Now that Roy has become a priest, the power of holy light condensed in his hand has become extremely solid.

It can no longer be called a group of light, but more like a group of beating flames. The white flame heart continues to burn in the mist of holy light, releasing dazzling holy light.

High Priest Reed's eyes also lit up with the sacred flame. He was a little excited and his lips were trembling: "Roy, you have condensed the sacred flame... Next, you will be qualified to learn the Holy Light Technique, and learn the Light Blessings will also become easier.”

He put his hand on Roy's shoulder, held the candlestick with the other hand, walked down the steps of the main hall, and said very happily:

"It's great that you actually found a path that suits you."

Roy hesitated for a moment and whispered to High Priest Reed: "Teacher, in fact, I have always been able to absorb the particles of Holy Light around me. Recently, I have raised some flowers of light, and those flowers can also grow some particles of Holy Light." , only by absorbing these particles of holy light can I successfully become a priest."

High Priest Reed pulled him towards the backyard, away from the main hall, and then said to Roy:

"I know this. It's a pity that I can't feel the sacred breath of the Flower of Light, just like I can't feel the particles of holy light floating around."

"Before the Holy Glory of the Statue of Liberty disappears from the Elf Continent, if you want to become a priest of the Temple of Liberty, you must be a believer in the Statue of Liberty."

"That way you can bathe in the goddess's holy light when you pray to the goddess."

"We pray devoutly to the goddess, and the goddess's holy light is constantly poured into our bodies. Over time, we can easily advance to become priests."

"Of course, becoming a believer in the goddess also comes with a certain price, which requires us to give up other ways to obtain the power of the Holy Light."

"So, although we priests can slowly recover the power of Holy Light in our bodies, we cannot obtain the power of Holy Light from the outside like you."

"When you became a trainee priest, the Holy Glory had already disappeared from the Elf Continent, so of course you couldn't become a believer of the goddess."

"So... you are taking a completely different path than me. Because there is no leader in front of you, this road is destined to be very difficult. The help I can give you is only a few limited magical arts. You can do it It was outstanding, much better than I expected.”

"I didn't let you become a believer of the goddess because I was worried that you, like me, would not be able to obtain the power of the holy light when you can't feel the holy light. But I also can't tell you what way you need to go through. Only in this way can you obtain the power of Holy Light, and now you have found your own way, which is good..."

High Priest Reed stood in front of the well and talked about these reasons.

Only then did Roy realize that High Priest Reed knew many things, but he just didn't say anything.

"teacher……"

Roy originally wanted to ask what happened to the Tree of Holy Light in his body.

However, he was interrupted by High Priest Reed. High Priest Reed put his arm around Roy's shoulders and walked toward the study room, saying as he walked:

"Actually, as a priest, it seems nondescript to always fight with a shield. You should have a sacred prayer. This kind of magic book actually helps you record some simple solidified divine patterns on the pages, like the last Simple magical spells, such as 'Blessing of Strength' and 'Purification Technique', as long as they are engraved in the Prayer Magician, there is no need to draw divine patterns when casting spells, and the divine spell can be activated by directly reciting prayers."

"When you are still a trainee priest, I do not recommend you to use sacred prayers. At that time, you need to study the divine patterns seriously and lay a good foundation."

"Now that you have become a real priest, it is still necessary to have a sacred prayer."

With that said, High Priest Reed had already pushed open the wooden door of the study room. He placed the candlestick in his hand on the round table, lit another candle and took it in his hand, leading Roy closer to the bookshelf. At the very back of the bookshelf, High Priest Reed pushed aside a heavy bookshelf, revealing a secret room inside.

High Priest Reed took out a key from his waist, opened the door to the secret room, and led Roy into the secret room.

The secret room is not very big. There is a statue of the Statue of Liberty on one wall. There is only one bookshelf in the room, which is empty with almost nothing on it...

Several thick volumes of sacred prayers stood scattered on the bookshelf, only four of them.

"When I first came to the Temple of Liberty in Castletown, there were more than a dozen sacred prayer books on this bookshelf. These prayer books were taken away by the priests one after another, and now there are only four of them left. Ben." High Priest Reed showed a bitter smile.

"Come on, Roy! According to the past practice of the Temple of Liberty in Castletown, you can choose one of these four sacred prayers to take away." High Priest Reed said.

After speaking, the four sacred prayer books were placed in front of Roy one by one.

"This 'Book of Healing' actually has two pages. The first page is 'Secondary Healing Technique' and the second page is 'Holy Glimmer'."

"This 'Book of Purification', if you recite the prayer fast enough, your purification spell will be almost instantaneous. It will become very simple to purify the undead in the future."

"This 'Book of Judgment' has the divine pattern of the 'Hammer of Judgment' engraved in it. This book is very useful on the battlefield."

"I suggest you choose this 'Book of Blessings', which is engraved with divine patterns of blessings of strength, so that you can maintain the state of 'blessings of strength' all the time..."

High Priest Reed pointed to the four sacred prayer books on the table and introduced them respectively.

Almost every prayer book has a copper cover with exquisite patterns engraved on it. The book of healing is engraved with hands holding the holy light, the book of purification is engraved with a beam of holy light falling from the sky, and the book of judgment is engraved with a message. A holy hammer, a book of blessings with hands in prayer engraved on it...

They all have their own characteristics, although the Book of Healing is a bit inferior, but only this book has two pages.

Roy thought for a moment and then selected the 'Book of Judgment'.

Because he felt that this book could be used in battle, and other treatments, purifications, and blessings were not that important.

"Teacher, I choose this book of judgment." Roy said.

High Priest Reed motioned to Roy to pick up the prayer book...

It was very heavy to buy. The cover of the book was a thick copper plate with a warhammer engraved on it, surrounded by some complicated patterns. There are hanging rings and chains on the side of the book, making it easy to carry the book.

Roy tugged on the chain of the prayer book and weighed it a little. The book was heavier than a small buckler...

He wrapped a length of chain extending from the prayer book around his wrist, and immediately the prayer book was firmly attached to his arm.

"Just right."

Roy said with a smile. In fact, he had wanted to have a book of sacred prayers for a long time. Jasper and Abbot both had it, but they couldn't buy it in magic stores.

Now that High Priest Reed gave him a copy, Roy was naturally very happy.

"This is just the most basic sacred prayer. A better sacred prayer book can store more than three magical spells..." High Priest Reed introduced.

"The best sacred prayer I have ever seen is the 'Book of Prayer'. It is an epic sacred prayer with 'prayer' engraved in it. The priests prefer to call it 'Angel Blessing'. That book The book has a total of sixteen pages, and almost every page is engraved with a high-level magic." High Priest Reed introduced to Roy.

Roy asked High Priest Reed for advice: "Teacher, does the book of sacred prayers become more expensive the more pages it has?"

High Priest Reed nodded and said:

"It can only be said that on the one hand, the more pages there are, the more expensive the prayer book will be. This is true..."

"On the other hand, the more advanced the divine patterns on the pages, the more expensive the book will be..."

When Roy left the Temple of Liberty, there was a Book of Judgment in his magic pocket.

After returning home, Roy reshaped the chain extending from the back of the book to make it easier to wrap around the wrist of his left hand.

This kind of prayer book with only one page is actually very convenient. As long as the power of holy light is injected into the book, a war hammer will appear in front of Roy without even opening the prayer book.

This time Roy tried to inject holy light into the sacred scepter. The scepter exuding divine power, paired with the Book of Judgment, turned out to be very harmonious.

If it wasn't too late, Roy almost wanted to call Moira up and have another sparring session in the backyard...

Speaking of which, High Priest Reed was actually quite speechless.

High Priest Reed is best at blessing magic, but Roy doesn't have much interest in blessing magic...

The magical technique he wanted to learn most was actually the 'Hammer of Judgment'.

Now Roy has learned...

Next there are ‘Hammer of Punishment’ and ‘Hammer of Sanction’.
