The Truth of Magic

Chapter 52 Dispelling Undead Creatures

Seeing Zhao Xu's confused face, Archbishop Sos gently put down his glazed porcelain cup and said, "Don't you think you are lucky?"

Zhao Xu shook his head resolutely, and the fool admitted that he was special.

"Don't worry." Archbishop Sos comforted as if he had sensed Zhao Xu's defensiveness.

"Don't worry, this guy was in the same class as me back then. It's just that he has no talent and can only be a priest, and I successfully promoted to the Nine Rings Mage." Leian added.

Nine-ring mages, that is, at least 17-level mages who can cast ninth-level spells, said that it comes from the number of rings on the badge.

Zhao Xu turned his head to look at Archbishop Sos, who was in his late middle age and had silver hair on his head.

On the other hand, he looked at Lei An, who was only in his early thirties, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Sure enough, even high-ranking priests couldn't prolong life at will like mages.

But think about it, in the eyes of these pious priests, it may be a better choice to arrive at the kingdom of God where the gods are one day earlier, to live forever with the gods, and even to be promoted to an angel.

"Actually, your situation is a variant of a priest." Archbishop Sos said.

Hearing about the variant, Lei An couldn't help but cast a glance at Zhao Xu.

"Is that the monk you said?" Zhao Xu asked in a low voice.

"That's right, everything in Arthur has its own context. Your promotion direction has been drawn to the direction of a monastic pastor, not simply an extra domain."

"Is there any price?" Zhao Xu continued to ask.

Having obtained the ability of a wise spellcaster, he already knows the extra ability.

The potential that a profession can advance is limited. If there is too much allocation on the one hand, it will naturally be allocated less on the other hand.

Otherwise, everyone would have gone in one direction long ago.

"Compared with ordinary priests, monks have reduced their military training, and their cultivation has increased in research and prayer." Archbishop Sos summed it up briefly. At the same time, he stood up and walked to the bookshelf in the corner of the reception room.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he somewhat understood.

A priest is not the kind of nurse who hides behind in Arthur.

Their own divine arts can also bless themselves, making them powerful war machines.

During the Battle of Sealing Demons, Zhao Xu had long seen the scene where the priest picked up the mace and rushed forward to confront the evil alien creatures when the soldiers in front fell down.

Compared with mages, who wear heavy armor, it will cause their own arcane spell failure rate.

Priests are bestowed by the gods because of their magical skills, so it is not a problem to wear heavy armor.

Then such a priest who abandoned martial arts and followed the literary direction seems to be more suitable for another mage battle line of his dual elite profession.

At this time, Archbishop Sos had already taken down a quaint classic and came over and handed it to him.

"This is the biography of the previous pope, Tia. She is a monastic priest just like you. In the future, you can read this book to understand the characteristics of this variant priest profession."

Zhao Xu took it respectfully, flipped through it a few times, then closed it again, and continued to listen to the other party's explanation.

"Generally speaking, because of their own discipline, monks rarely confuse the alignment. At the same time, because of the characteristics of their knowledge, they will additionally get the 'field of knowledge' and a special ability called 'learning', which is similar to Because of the bard's ability of 'anecdotal knowledge', you will naturally understand this in the future."

"What about the shortcomings?" As a rationalist, Zhao Xu cared more about his own interests.

If the price is too high, he will have to make complaints if he can't change it.

"The Hit Dice of the priest is D8, and the priest of the monasticism is only D6. At the same time, the priest of the monasticism can only use simple weapons and light armor proficiently."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu pondered for a moment, but it was acceptable.

He was only promoted to a level 1 priest, and he didn't care about the difference in these two points of health.

From this point of view, the price is actually very small, anyway, he himself doesn't care much about the next weapon training.

"Then I probably understand." Zhao Xu nodded.

"Then let's get to the point." Sos looked at Zhao Xu, "Do you know which ability I'm going to guide you to master next?"

The sandalwood that was lightly burning around made Zhao Xu's nose a little drunk, and he was about to shake his head to express his ignorance.

Suddenly, a scene from the past came to mind.

In their previous life, when encountering undead in their town, most of them immediately went to the priest. He had seen the priest's ability to directly restrain the undead.

It seems to be called——

"Dispel and destroy the undead creatures." Archbishop Sos said directly, "Or the evil priest 'rebuked the undead creatures'."

Zhao Xu took a deep breath.

Before, he was in a hurry to deal with Antinoya's summoned weak "Skeleton Warrior", relying on the opponent's lower-than-average health to complete a one-hit kill.

If he had this ability from the beginning, he might have been able to directly suppress it at that time.

"Our good priests can disperse or destroy undead creatures by guiding the power of the 'holy emblem'. The evil priests can reprimand and order." After that, Archbishop Sos handed him a holy emblem, "This is My former holy emblem is now for you."

Zhao Xu accepted it lightly. The six-pointed star logo with the goddess on the holy emblem was still lifelike, and the name of Archbishop Sos was engraved on the back.

There is also a motto above it: "Knowledge and wisdom abide."

Leian on the side watched the scene silently, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

Zhao Xu knew that this was a sign of the friendship Archbishop Sos had shown him.

It is not easy for a priest to carry a holy emblem for decades.

With this holy emblem, not to mention anything else, even if he is not a priest, he can rely on it to pass unimpeded in the diocese where Archbishop Sos is located in the future.

Even the "resurrection of the dead" that was longed for in the previous life and the more powerful resurrection magic is not impossible.

This holy emblem represents the friendship of Archbishop Sos.

Zhao Xu originally thought that Blue Star's power and interests had developed complicated enough.

Unexpectedly, in this reception room, the head of the goddess' church, the archbishop of the church, would show friendship to him in such a blatant manner.

Archbishop Sos was leaving the house in a few days. Maybe he would never see Zhao Xu again in this life, so he was willing to bet so directly on someone who wasn't even a level 1 priest.

The priest of the goddess can't do the thing of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, and she will recognize the chips she placed with tears in her eyes.

I'm afraid that behind this, he still guessed and missed something. Fortunately, in his previous life, he thought that these pastors were so kind, and their feelings were all human spirits.

Seeing Zhao Xu's hesitant expression, but not rejecting it by saying it was too expensive, Archbishop Sos showed a satisfied look.

The best time to plant a tree is either ten years ago or now.

He continued, "The number of times our pastor can use this ability every day is 3 + Charisma adjustment value." After speaking, he handed two books to Zhao Xu.

"This is the textbook compiled by our church and my experience with this ability over the years. You can take a look."

Zhao Xu took it and looked at it. The title of the textbook was "Dispelling and Destroying Undead Creatures, The Path of the Priest", and the other was the notes of Archbishop Sos.

He smiled wryly to himself, feeling that even if he became a pastor, he could not escape the life of studying.

However, before he set 13 attributes for Charm, with 1 adjustment value, it can be used now.

That is, he has 4 chances per day to turn or destroy undead creatures.

"Have you got it?" Leian asked, turning his head to the side.

"What?" Zhao Xu didn't react.

"Dispel ability."

Zhao Xu was speechless. He thought it was Chinese cabbage from the vegetable market? Say there is.

He hasn't even read the book yet.

Zhao Xu glanced at his character card, and was about to record the content when his eyes froze.

Really have?
