Hearing this, Bishop Darryl's expression relaxed a lot.
His body leaned back, leaning against the back of the seat.
While sipping warm black tea, the bald bishop whose age was unknown pointed to the ring on Annan's hand with his chubby fingers.
"The imprint of the holy light is not something complicated and bizarre... You can simply understand that it is the 'carrier' used by the priests.
"Let's start from the beginning. We 'priests'... or in ancient parlance, 'priests' don't need metal curse-carriers. Because we're different from you superhumans...we don't cast curses into the body."
Having said that, Bishop Darryl's expression became a little more serious.
"It's because, from the level of 'bishop' up. Almost all the priests die well. We always end up in this or that nightmare.
"After all, to purify nightmares, you don't need to be physically strong... It's better to say that you have less curses stored in your body and your body is weaker. If you become a monster, you won't hurt innocent people.
"Just like you extraordinary people, you can transfer curses that are invisible and untouchable by means of bearing and granting curses... Curses can of course be transferred. Even if you are not priests, after purifying your nightmares, you will quickly become stronger Yourselves. This is because the curse that makes up the nightmare has been purified, purified and sucked out by you.
"The obsession that makes up a nightmare is 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 ones, the most turbid curses that cannot be purified by manpower, will be handed over to the righteous gods in the local parish for deep purification; if there is no church nearby, then they will be passed on to the righteous gods of this month. side.
"But you must also know... For this world, 'curse is power'. It is the same for the Silver Lords. These curses that we cannot purify, whether they are true gods or false gods, are great Supplements."
Bishop Darryl looked at Annan's expression.
He was roughly sure that Annan understood, and then slowly continued: "The reason why we can use the secret of extraordinary abilities instead of storing curses... is not because priests have an ability system that is beyond curses, but because they belong to us. This part of the curse has always been stored with the respective gods like a deposit in a bank.
"Engrams are vouchers for temporarily borrowing 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."
... roughly understood.
Annan understood and nodded slightly.
This mechanism is not so much a bank as a cloud disk.
Due to various reasons, it is not convenient to store the curse in the body, so it is stored in the cloud. When needed, rely on the voucher to call this data, and keep it when not in use...
It's really useful, my gods.
But, in other words... is the curse the "experience" that the players get
Annan was thoughtful.
In this way, he probably understood.
The biggest difference between Annan himself and the players is that the aborigines in this world... Maybe the aborigines cannot transfer the curse by killing each other.
He killed a silver-rank wizard and gained so little experience, which is understandable because most of the experience was used to construct nightmares. And the professional level obtained after purifying the nightmare is only the most digestible part of it.
"That is to say... the imprint of the holy light is a certificate obtained after completely purifying the nightmare?"
Annan asked.
Bishop Darryl nodded: "Yes. We priests or priests do not have rank divisions. The difference in strength only comes from the number of imprints held.
"The more twisted the nightmare, the more imprints we can get after we're fully cleansed, like..."
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand to Annan, palm down.
On the back of Darryl's hand, a large number of fine and profound silver runes suddenly appeared. Starting from the back of the hand, densely spread out to the sleeves... all the way to his neck, chin, and right face.
These complicated silver runes give people a strange and sacred charm. Darryl's right eye seemed to have some runes mixed in, and it shone with a strange silver light.
And An Nan felt 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 imprint of the Holy Light, the medium through which we cast divine spells. Not everyone has the ability to communicate with the gods... But obviously, you do."
Darryl said, reaching out and waving.
Annan vaguely felt that something seemed to be spreading in the room...
In other words, it was as if something originally existed in the air, but now it was washed away.
"After you have just completely purified the previous nightmare, I feel that I have added a mark."
Darryl pointed somewhere on his cheek: "I predicted at first that with the intensity of this nightmare, I should have gotten ten strokes."
The face that originally looked simple and kind, but against the backdrop of the silver runes, it looked very majestic.
"It should be because I only purified the nightmare once. But you have identified 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.
It turned out to be like this.
He knew it.
After a nightmare is completely purified, the rewards will be issued in the true sense. The more cleanses you do in this nightmare, the more engrams you get...
"Then what if the nightmare was purified by other extraordinary people instead of priests?"
Annan remembered the existence of the players, so he asked.
Darryl 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. Naturally, it is different. However, some nightmares are very difficult to purify, or The task is heavy, and we will also temporarily hire extraordinary people... and use the 'key' of the nightmare as a reward to let them enter the nightmare to help purify. Otherwise, we are equivalent to being trapped. Simply put, everyone gets what they get. Let the official, Or at least the innocent transcendents help us quickly end the purification of nightmares, and we temporarily open nightmares to them so that they can improve their strength."
wrong.
Annan suddenly realized something.
If the superhumans purify the instance, they can only get the professional level when they cleared the level...
After the priests thoroughly purified the dungeon, they could only get the words of the holy light imprint.
But Annan, a transcendent who is about to be a part-time priest, obviously got both
Does he count as...
Did a job, and asked two bosses to ask for two wages
Is this a bug or a mechanism
For a moment, Annan felt as if he had picked up the wool of a righteous god...
A little, a little cool to...
