Seeing Zhao Xu's confused look, Archbishop Suosi gently put down his glazed porcelain cup and said, "Don't you think you are lucky?"
Zhao Xu shook his head decisively, and only then did the fool admit that he was special.
"Don't worry." Archbishop Suosi comforted him as if he sensed Zhao Xu's caution.
"Don't worry, this guy was in the same class as me back then, but he had no talent and could only be a priest, while I was successfully promoted to a nine-ring mage." Leian added.
A nine-level mage is a mage of at least 17th level who can cast nine-level spells. The term comes from the number of rings on the badge.
Zhao Xu turned around and looked at Archbishop Suosi, who was already 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. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sure enough, high-level priests can't extend their lives at will like a mage.
But think about it, in the eyes of these devout priests, it may be a better choice to arrive at the Kingdom of God where the gods are located one day earlier, to be accompanied by the gods to eternal life, and even to be promoted to angels.
"Actually, your situation is a transformation of a priest." Archbishop Sosi said.
Hearing the term "transformation", Lei An couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xu.
"Is this the monastic priest you mentioned?" Zhao Xu asked in a low voice.
"That's right, everything Arthur has its own context. Your promotion direction is led to the direction of a monastic priest, and it is not simply an additional field."
"Is there any price?" Zhao Xu continued to ask.
Having acquired the ability of a wise caster, he already knew what additional abilities he would gain.
The potential that an occupation can advance is limited. If there is too much allocation on one side, there will naturally be less allocation on the other side.
Otherwise, everyone would have gone in one direction long ago.
"Compared with ordinary priests, monastic priests have less military training and more cultivation in research and prayer." Archbishop Sos briefly summarized, and at the same time he stood up and walked to the bookshelf in the corner of the reception room.
Zhao Xu understood more or less after hearing this.
As a priest, Arthur is not the kind of nanny who hides behind the scenes.
Their own magic can also bless themselves and make them into powerful war machines.
During the Demon Sealing Battle, Zhao Xu had already seen the scene where the warriors in front fell down, and the priest directly picked up the mace and rushed forward to confront the evil alien creatures.
Compared to a profession like a mage, wearing heavy armor will lead to a failure rate of arcane spells.
Priests are given magical powers by the gods, so wearing heavy armor is not a problem.
The priest who abandoned martial arts and turned to literature seems to be another mage front that is more suitable for his dual elite profession.
At this time, Archbishop Sosi had already taken down a simple classic and came over to hand it to him.
"This is the life biography of the previous pope, His Majesty Ti Ya. She is a monastic priest like you. In the future, you can read this book and 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 respectfully to the other party's explanation.
"Generally speaking, because of their own discipline, monastic priests rarely disrupt the camp. At the same time, because of the characteristics of their knowledge, they will receive an additional 'knowledge field' and a special ability called 'learning', which is similar to You will naturally understand this in the future due to the bard's ability of 'anecdotal knowledge'."
"What about the shortcomings?" Zhao Xu, as a rationalist, is more concerned about the gains and losses of interests.
If the price is too high, then he will have to complain even if he can't change.
"The priest's life dice is D8, while the monastic priest only has D6. At the same time, the monastic priest can only use simple weapons and light armor proficiently."
Hearing this, Zhao Xu pondered for a moment, and it was still acceptable.
He was only promoted to level 1 priest and didn't care about the difference between the two health points.
From this point of view, the price is actually very small. Anyway, he himself doesn't care much about the subsequent weapons training.
"Then I probably understand." Zhao Xu nodded.
"Then let's get to the point." Sosi looked at Zhao Xu, "Do you know which ability I want to guide you to master next?"
The gently burning sandalwood around him made Zhao Xu's nose a little tipsy, and he was about to shake his head to express his ignorance.
But suddenly a scene from the past came to mind.
In his previous life in their town, once they encountered the undead, most of them would go to the priest immediately. He had seen the priest's ability to directly suppress the undead.
In my impression, it seems to be called—
"Dispel and destroy the undead creatures." Archbishop Sos said directly, "Or it could be the evil priest's scolding of the undead creatures."
Zhao Xu took a deep breath.
Before, he was busy dealing with the weak "skeleton warrior" summoned by Antinoya, relying on the opponent's lower than average health to complete the one-hit kill.
If he had this ability from the beginning, I'm afraid he would have been able to suppress it directly.
"We good priests can disperse or destroy undead creatures by guiding the power of the 'Holy Emblem'. Evil priests can scold and order." After that, Archbishop Sos handed him a Holy Emblem, "This is My former holy symbol is now given to you."
Zhao Xu accepted it gently. The six-pointed star symbol with the goddess on the holy emblem was still vivid, and the name of Archbishop Suosi was engraved on the back.
There is also a motto on it, "Knowledge and wisdom abide."
Leian on the side watched this scene silently, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Zhao Xu knew that this represented the friendship shown to him by Archbishop Suosi.
A holy symbol that a priest has carried for decades is not simple.
With this holy emblem, if nothing else, even if he is not a priest, he will be able to rely on it to pass through the diocese where Archbishop Sos is located in the future.
Even the "resurrection of the dead" and the more powerful resurrection magic that were desired but unavailable in the previous life are not impossible.
This holy emblem represents the friendship of Archbishop Sos.
Zhao Xu originally thought that Blue Star's power and interests had become complicated enough.
Unexpectedly, in this reception room, the head of the goddess's church, the archbishop of the church, would openly show friendship to him.
Archbishop Sosi will be leaving in a few days. Maybe he has no hope of seeing Zhao Xu again in this life, but he is willing to bet on someone who is not even a first-level priest.
The priest of the goddess cannot do anything to burn bridges, and he will accept the chips he has made with tears in his eyes.
I'm afraid he might have missed something behind the scenes. Fortunately, in his previous life, he thought these pastors were so kind and had human feelings.
Seeing Zhao Xu's hesitant expression, but not refusing by saying it was too expensive, Archbishop Sosi showed a satisfied look.
The best time to plant a tree was either ten years ago or now.
He continued, "The number of times our priests can use this ability every day is 3 + charm adjustment value." After that, he handed the two books to Zhao Xu.
"This is the teaching material compiled by our church, as well as my experience on this ability over the years. You can take a look."
Zhao Xu took it and took a look. The title of the textbook was "Dispelling and Destroying Undead Creatures: The Path of a Priest", and the other one was the notes of Archbishop Sosi.
He smiled bitterly to himself, feeling that he could not escape from studying even if he became a priest.
However, he previously set 13 attribute points for charm, with an adjustment value of 1 point, but he can use it now.
That is to say, he has 4 opportunities to disperse or destroy undead creatures every day.
"Do you have it?" Leian turned his head and asked.
"What's there?" Zhao Xu didn't respond.
"The ability to dispel."
Zhao Xu was speechless. He thought this was cabbage from the vegetable market? If you say there is, there will be.
He hasn’t read any of his books yet.
Zhao Xu glanced at his character card and was about to record the content when his eyes suddenly froze.
