The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 123: It’s a bit cool
Hearing this, Bishop Daryl's expression relaxed a lot.
His body leaned back, leaning on the back of the seat.
While sipping warm black tea, the bald bishop, whose age could not be discerned, stretched out his chubby finger and pointed at the ring on Annan's hand.
"The Mark of Holy Light is not something complicated and bizarre... You can simply understand that it is the 'carrying object' used by the priests.
"Let's start from the beginning. We 'priests'...or in ancient terms, 'priests' don't need curse-bearing objects made of metal. Because we are different from you extraordinary beings...we It will not take the curse into the body."
Speaking of this, Bishop Daryl’s expression became slightly more serious.
"This is because, from the level of 'bishop' upwards, almost all priests will not die well. We will always die in this or that nightmare.
"After all, purifying nightmares does not require you to be physically strong... It is better to say that there are fewer curses stored in your body and your body is weaker. If you become a monster, you will not hurt innocent people.
"Just like you extraordinary beings, you can transfer the invisible and intangible curse by carrying and granting the curse... Of course the curse can be transferred. Even if you are not a priest, after purifying the nightmare, you can It will quickly strengthen itself. This is because the curse that makes up the nightmare has been purified, refined and sucked out by you.
“The obsessions that make up a nightmare are like a skeleton; and these curses that can be sucked out are flesh and blood. No matter which one is missing, the nightmare will collapse.
"As for the remaining, most turbid curses that cannot be purified by human power, they will be handed over to the righteous gods in the local diocese for deep purification; if there is no church nearby, then they will be passed on to the person who belongs to this month. On the right side of God.
"But you must also know... For this world, 'curse is power'. The same is true for Sir Silver and others. These curses that we cannot purify, whether it is for the real gods or false gods. , are all great tonics."
Bishop Daryl looked at Annan's expression.
He was generally sure that Annan understood, and then continued slowly: "The reason why we can use the secret of extraordinary abilities without storing the curse... is not because the priests have an ability system that is beyond the curse, but because It's because this part of the curse that belongs to us has always been stored in our respective gods, just like deposits in a bank.
"Imprints are certificates of temporary borrowing of supernatural powers from different gods. In essence, they are still our own curses. This is also a kind of banking...banking in the supernatural world."
...I roughly understand.
Annan understood and nodded slightly.
This mechanism is more like a cloud disk than a bank.
Due to various reasons, it was inconvenient to store the curse in the body, so it was stored in the cloud. When needed, rely on the credentials to call this data, and keep it when not in use...
It’s so useful, my dear gods.
But, in other words...is the curse the "experience" that players get?
Annan was thoughtful.
In this way, he probably understands.
The biggest difference between Annan himself and the players and the aborigines of this world...perhaps is that the aborigines cannot transfer the curse by killing each other.
It is understandable that he got so little experience from killing a Silver-level wizard because most of the experience was used to build nightmares. The professional level obtained after purifying the nightmare is only the easiest part to digest and absorb.
"In other words... the mark of holy light is a certificate obtained after completely purifying the nightmare?"
Annan asked.
Bishop Daryl nodded: "Yes. We priests or clergymen have no hierarchy. The difference in strength only comes from the number of imprints we hold.
"The deeper the distortion of the nightmare, the more marks we can get after complete purification, for example..."
As he spoke, he extended his right hand to Annan, palm down.
On the back of Daryl's hand, a large number of fine and profound silver runes suddenly appeared. Starting from the back of his hand, they spread densely toward his sleeves...and crawled up to his neck, chin, and the right side of his face.
These complicated silver runes give people a strange sacred charm. Daryl's right eye seemed to be mixed with some runes, shining with a strange silver light.
And Annan could feel a strong dizziness just by looking at those runes.
Annan forcibly looked away and reached out to press his forehead.
"This is"
"This is the Mark of Holy Light, the medium through which we perform divine magic. Not everyone has the ability to communicate with the gods...but obviously, you do."
Daryl said, reaching out and waving.
Annan vaguely sensed that something seemed to be spreading in the room...
In other words, it's like something that was originally in the air has now been purified.
"After you have just completely purified the previous nightmare, I feel that I have added a scratch."
Daryl pointed to somewhere on his cheek: "I predicted at first that with the intensity of this nightmare, I should have received ten strokes."
The face that originally looked honest and kind turned out to be very majestic against the backdrop of the silver runes.
"This should be because I only purified the nightmare once. And you found the key and destroyed the cornerstone of the nightmare. So you should get far more than me."
"Yes, I got nine strokes."
Annan nodded and admitted.
That's it.
He knew it.
After a nightmare is completely purified, rewards will be truly distributed. The more times you purify in this nightmare, the more marks you get...
"What if the nightmares were purified not by priests, but by other supernatural beings?"
Annan remembered the existence of the players, so he asked.
Daryl shrugged: "Of course you can only get the part of the nightmare you got, as long as you haven't left the parish where you purified the nightmare.
"After all, when we purify nightmares, we don't get power from them like extraordinary people. They are paid on a daily basis, but we are paid on a monthly basis, which is naturally different. However, some nightmares are very difficult to purify. If the task is too high or the task is too heavy, we will also temporarily hire extraordinary people...using the 'key' of the nightmare as a reward to let them enter the nightmare to assist in purification. Otherwise, we are equivalent to being trapped. To put it simply, everyone gets what they get. ~IndoMTL.com~ Let the official, or at least innocent supernatural beings help us quickly end the purification of nightmares, while we temporarily open nightmares to them so that they can improve their strength."
Wrong.
Annan suddenly realized something.
If the extraordinary ones purify the dungeon, they can only obtain the professional level when they clear the level...
After the priests completely purify the copy, they can only obtain the Holy Light Seal.
But Annan, a transcendent who is about to work part-time as a priest, obviously got both?
Then does this count as...
You did a job and asked for two wages from two bosses?
Is this a bug or a mechanism?
Annan felt for a moment that he seemed to have picked up the wool of Zhengshen...
It’s a bit, a bit exciting...
