Chapter 123
Hearing this, Bishop Daryl's expression relaxed a lot.
He leaned back, leaning against the back of the seat.
While tasting the warm black tea, the bald bishop who could not tell his age stretched out his chubby fingers and pointed to the ring on Annan's hand.
"The imprint of the Holy Light is not something complicated and bizarre... You can simply understand that it is a 'carrying object' used by the priests.
"Let's start from the beginning. We 'priests'...or in ancient terms, 'clerics' don't need curse bearers made of metal. Because we are not like you superhumans...we don't Bring the curse into your body."
Having said that, Bishop Darryl's expression became slightly serious.
"That's because, from the level of 'bishop' up. Almost all priests have to die well and we will always die in this or that nightmare.
"After all, to purify nightmares, you don't need your own body to be strong... It is better to say that the curse stored in the body is less, and the body is weaker. In case of becoming a monster, it will not hurt innocents.
"Just like your superhumans, you can transfer curses that cannot be seen or touched by carrying and conferring curses...Curses can of course be transferred. Even if you are not priests, after purifying the nightmare, you will quickly Strong yourself. This is because of the curse that made up the nightmare, purified, purified, and sucked out by you.
"The obsessions that make up the nightmare are like skeletons; 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 human power will be handed over to the righteous gods in the local diocese for deep purification; if there is no church nearby, then it will be passed on to the righteous gods who belong to this month. side.
"But you must also know... For this world, 'curse is power'. It is the same for the Silver Sirs. These curses that we cannot purify, whether they are true gods or false gods, are Great supplement."
Bishop Daryl 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 without storing curses... It's not because the priests have an ability system that is beyond the curse, but because they belong to This part of our curse has always been stored in our respective gods like a bank account.
"The imprint is a certificate for temporarily borrowing extraordinary power from different gods. Essentially,
They are still our own curse. It's also a kind of banking...another world of banking. "
...to understand roughly.
Annan understood and nodded lightly.
This mechanism is not so much a bank, but a cloud disk.
Due to various reasons, it is inconvenient to store the curse in the body, so it is stored in the cloud. When needed, rely on credentials to call this data, and keep it when not in use...
It's so useful, my gods.
But, in other words... is the curse the "experience" players get?
Annan was thoughtful.
In this way, he probably understood.
Annan himself plus the players, the biggest difference from the aborigines in this world... Perhaps the aborigines cannot transfer the curse by killing each other.
He killed a silver-level wizard, and he gained so little experience, it is understandable because most of the experience was used to build nightmares. The occupation level obtained after purifying the nightmare is only the part that is most easily digested and absorbed.
"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 are not divided into ranks. The difference in strength only comes from the number of imprints we hold.
"The more distorted the nightmare is, the more imprints we can get after full purification, such as..."
He said, extending his right hand to Annan, palm down.
On the back of Darryl's hand, a large number of finely broken and esoteric silver runes suddenly appeared. Starting from the back of his hand, it stretched out densely to his sleeves... all the way to his neck, chin, and right face.
These intricate silver runes give people a strange divine charm. Darryl's right eye also seemed to have some runes mixed in, shining a strange silver light.
And An Nanguang was staring at those runes, and he could feel a strong dizziness.
Annan forcibly looked away, reaching out and pressing his forehead.
"This is"
"This is the imprint of the Holy Light, the medium through which we perform 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 was as if something originally existed in the air, but now it has been cleaned up.
"I feel like I've added a scratch after you've just cleaned up the previous nightmare."
Daryl pointed to a spot 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 background of the silver runes, it looked very majestic.
"This should be because I just purify a nightmare. And you found the key and destroyed the cornerstone of the existence of nightmares. So you should get far more than me."
"Yes, I got nine strokes."
Annan nodded and admitted.
It turned out to be so.
He knew it.
After a nightmare is completely purified, the reward will be issued in the true sense. The more purifications in this nightmare, the more imprints you get...
"What if it was not the priests, but other supernatural beings who purify the nightmares?"
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 purify your nightmare.
"After all, when we purify nightmares, we won't get power from them like superhumans. They pay daily wages, and we pay monthly, which is naturally different. However, some nightmares are very difficult to purify, or The task is heavy, and we will also temporarily hire extraordinary people...with the 'key' of the nightmare as a reward, let them enter the nightmare to assist in purification. Otherwise, we are equivalent to being trapped. In short, everyone gets what they get. Let the official , or at least innocent superhumans to help us quickly put an end to the purification of nightmares, while we temporarily open nightmares to them so they can increase their strength."
wrong.
Annan suddenly realized something.
If it is said that the superhumans purify the copy, they can only get the occupation level at the time of customs clearance...
After the priests have completely purified the copy, they can only get the words of the imprint of the Holy Light.
But Annan, an extraordinary who is about to become a part-time priest, obviously got both?
So is he...
Did a job and asked two bosses for two wages?
Is this a bug or a mechanism?
For a moment, Annan felt as if he had caught the wool of a righteous god...
kinda, kinda cool...
