I Am A Priest In The Otherworld

Chapter 11: 11. Prohibition

"They want to force you to show up in this way, and then set up a trap to ambush you!"

"If you rush over..."

The old bishop reminded very seriously.

Gallo nodded, and replied very solemnly:

"I also guessed this possibility before."

"But even so, I'm still going."

"Because the goddess said, don't blame others, don't hurt the innocent."

The old bishop sighed helplessly, probably knowing that he could not persuade him, so he could only change his words and say:

"Then you must be careful."

"The opponent is a mage, and magic is a very dangerous force!"

"Even if I meet a mage, I must be cautious."

"Don't worry, I will pay attention."

Gallo quickly replied, clenched his fists in front of his chest again, as if cheering himself up, and continued:

"Although my strength is not good, I have the favor of the goddess!"

"And passion, courage, friendship, bondage, love, hope, possibility..."

Seeing his serious appearance, the old bishop hesitated to speak, but after thinking about it, he reminded again:

"Compared to this, I am more worried that if they die, it will make the matter more sensitive, and those innocent people will not be saved..."

Gallo thought for a while, then asked:

"You mean, I go straight to prison?"

"Don't don't!"

The old bishop waved his hands again and again.

"I mean, it's best to find a way to let them release people first."

"Then I'll let them repent and reflect on themselves, repent and turn over a new leaf, so that they can become good people and release them voluntarily, right?"

Gallo asked.

"But I'm worried that they will directly repent and die..." the old bishop replied with a strange expression.

Gallo thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Even if I use the least powerful magic, but these people can do such insane things, it is already bad, and when they repent, they will definitely feel ashamed and choose to commit suicide.

What should we do? I no longer have any less powerful magical spells...

He carefully recalled the magic spells he had seen, and suddenly remembered a magic spell that he was about to forget: persuasion.

This is a forbidden technique.

It was not banned by the goddess or by the secular world, but was listed as a forbidden technique by Gallo himself.

The effect of this divine spell is to make it easier for people to believe in their own sect and make missionary work easier.

Anyway, it is the kind of magic that affects other people's thoughts.

But it is only effective for those ordinary people who are not strong-minded and have dishonest beliefs, and the effect is not very good.

But it violates the doctrine.

It is clearly written in the scriptures: "Anyone who believes in our Lord is voluntary and cannot be forced."

Gallo, as a devout believer, of course would not use this kind of magic to force people to believe in religion.

He didn't even know why there was this magic in the library in the basement.

The old bishop told him that most denominations have similar tricks, but they have different influences on people.

Those orthodox religions use it, and the effect is also very slight; but if it is replaced by a cult, it is likely to be a powerful bewitchment and charm.

You can use your own sect, but you can't have it.

So Gallo didn't bother with this matter anymore, he just put the forbidden technique behind him, and it was only after careful reflection today that he remembered it.

"Maybe, I can use that magic: persuasion."

The old bishop couldn't help being taken aback.

"Didn't you list him as a forbidden technique yourself?"

"And even if you use this forbidden technique, it can only make bad people believe in religion, and it can't solve practical problems, right?"

Gallo thought about it again, and replied:

"I can modify this forbidden technique so that its effect becomes, to guide the kind thoughts in their hearts, and make them want to be a good person."

"In this way, it does not violate the teachings, but also achieves the purpose."

"This time the situation is special. I also want to save those innocent people. I believe that the Goddess will forgive my transgression."

The old bishop was stunned for a long time before tentatively asking:

"But I remember that although the effect of persuasion is mediocre, it is a fifth-level divine art, right?"

"Well, so it's relatively simple."

Gallo nodded.

"You want to modify a fifth-level divine technique?"

"Yeah, it shouldn't be difficult, right? It just takes some time."

"If it's a senior brother, it must be done in a few minutes, right?"

"Ahem, yes, with your senior brother's talent, this kind of thing must be easy."

The old bishop coughed a few times and said.

Gallo then asked:

"Then I'll go to the basement to look for the forbidden spell first. Can you divination for me the location of the baron's nephew and Captain Martin first?"

"Maybe it will be disturbed, but I can try..."

So the two acted separately without telling the old John and others who had taken refuge in the church, and soon returned to Gallo's bedroom.

Gallo had an extra old and yellowed parchment in his hand, while the old bishop twisted a pocket.

He first took out a map of Innocence City from his pocket, spread it on the desk, and then took out some divination props such as candles, flower petals, and copper coins.

The old bishop first lit four candles and placed them on the four corners of the map.

Then he muttered again, throwing the petals out at will.

The petals fell on the map one after another, forming a faint circle.

The old bishop then started tossing the copper coin and kept asking various questions:

"in the city?"

"In the suburbs?"

"Is it a private house?"

"Is it a villa?"

He used the result of the front and back of the copper coin as the answer, and kept narrowing the area circled by the petals.

In the end, the petals only surrounded a remote villa on the outskirts of the city. It looked very deserted, and there were no people around.

That was the result of his divination.

The old bishop couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said:

"It's here!"

Gallo quickly wrote down the address, and then praised sincerely:

"Divination is really a magical ability!"

"Unfortunately I can't learn..."

In fact, divination, like divine healing, is the most basic traditional skill in the priest profession, and most priests know it.

Many of the fortune tellers outside were former priests.

But Gallo just can't learn...

Even the simplest healing magic can't be performed, and the divination is like the old bishop's way, and always gets completely wrong results.

He felt that this should also be the effect of resurrection once.

But it doesn't matter, the old bishop is an expert in this field, very good at healing and divination.

Therefore, in his eyes, the old bishop must be that kind of terrifying expert, not only able to master things that he could never learn, but also to teach such a powerful senior brother.

It's just that he followed the teachings and behaved low-key and introverted, so outsiders didn't know it at all.

Although the two of them get along very casually on weekdays, Gallo admires the old bishop from the bottom of his heart, so he believes everything he says.
