[You approach the carriage cautiously. There are many tattered and almost inhuman bodies on the ground. You find a seriously injured young priest struggling in the damaged carriage. When he sees your figure, he seems to see hope.
I’m shouting to you desperately.】
[You were cautious and did not approach him, but he eagerly told you what happened.]
[It turned out that he was a priest who had returned from studying at the Priest College in a big city. On his way to his hometown of Palos to take up a post, he was attacked by assassins from the Filthy God Cult and was seriously injured. It is now impossible for him to survive. 】
[He was almost in despair, but when he saw you who were plainly dressed but trustworthy ("charismatic" took effect and the charm appraisal passed), he ignited a glimmer of hope]
[He begs you to serve as him in Palos City for a month. When the archbishop comes to Palos City one month later, he will take out a token representing his identity and tell the archbishop about him. The Serenity Cult will definitely give it to you at that time.
Generous rewards.】
[You triggered the mission: Priest’s Obligation.]
[The real priest was assassinated. Before he died, he begged a non-follower to help him complete his final mission and end the conspiracy of the filthy god. This may be a mission that can change the fate of thousands of people. How should you choose?
?]
[Mission reward: Favorability of the Serenity Cult force +30, a mysterious gift from the archbishop, all the inheritance of Pastor Delo, favorability of Palos City +60, 800 free experience points]
[Non-followers, do you choose to accept this task? 】
["Accept", "Do not accept"]
The mission was triggered! Mo Yuan was delighted, but he did not choose to accept it immediately.
This game reminded me before that the territory of the Goddess of Tranquility is relatively peaceful, which is the novice village in the traditional sense, and the place where novices develop.
If I complete this task, the reward will be great, and even if I fail to complete it, the loss will be nothing.
Besides, that person can change the fate of thousands of people! Wouldn’t that person be able to harvest a huge amount of fate points?
Mo Yuan made up his mind and clicked "Accept".
[As a non-follower, you have a natural aversion to evil gods such as the God of Filth, so you accepted this task without hesitation. 】
[Seeing that you accepted his mission, the young priest used the last strength of his body to hand the badge representing his identity into your hand, and his whole body dispersed into light particles and scattered in the air. 】
[You carefully packed away the young priest’s relics, a storage ring, and a blood-stained priest’s robe.]
[You found two spare priest robes, a set of Serenity Cult teachings, a certificate of priestship in Palos City, a map of the territory of the Goddess of Serenity and some food from his storage ring. ]
[Should the blood-stained priest robe be buried underground as the tomb of the young priest?]
【"whether"】
Mo Yuan chose Yes without hesitation. It was a pity that he would not have bought it if he had known that the priest had a storage ring.
However, he could not have expected this. He took out the priest's storage ring and found that the space inside was only one-tenth the size of the one he purchased.
Sure enough, you get what you pay for!
[You bury the blood-stained priest robe deep in the ground, officially obtain the identity of a young priest, and start the shadow priest profession]
[Shadow Priest: A unique professional system for non-followers. They can disguise themselves as priests of any religious religion not higher than ten levels of their own level, and possess all their divine spells. The upper limit of disguise increases by one for every five levels.]
Divine spells (included with the Serenity Priest profession): Thirteen zero-level divine spells such as Silence, Confinement, Hemostasis, and Restoration, and two one-ring divine spells of Holy Fire and Annihilation.
Props: Storage ring*2, Dean’s mage practice experience (copy)*1, Serenity priest robe*2, Serenity religious teachings*1, Serenity goddess territory map*1]
After starting the Shadow Priest profession, Mo Yuan instantly had a dozen magical spells in his mind that felt extremely familiar to him, and he felt that he could easily perform these magical spells.
He tried to use the confinement technique on a cup, and a light blue chain was instantly wrapped around the cup to firmly imprison the cup in place.
Mo Yuan tried to move the cup, but he couldn't move it even with all his strength. It seemed that the effect was good, and he was very satisfied with the confinement technique.
A minute later, the chain automatically broke, and he tried to use the confinement spell on the sofa again. He found that the mana consumed by the confinement spell on objects of different sizes was different.
Using the Confinement spell on the cup consumes one mana, while using the Confinement spell on the sofa consumes four mana points!
It seems that magic is not rigid, Mo Yuan thought.
After the experiment, Mo Yuan focused his attention on the game again.
[You rely on the shadow priest profession to completely disguise yourself as a priest of the Serenity Religion. No one can detect your identity unless the gods face you]
[You started to move towards Palos City according to the map. Fortunately, this small town is not very far from where you are now. You arrived at the entrance of the small town after a short walk]
[You showed your priest badge to the guard. The guard looked in awe and hurried to find the city lord to greet you]
[Not long after you waited at the door, the city lord hurried from the city. Since you now look exactly like the young priest Delo and are wearing a priest badge, the city lord has no doubt about your identity. He is here
After expressing my admiration for you, an outstanding priest who came from your hometown, I will lead you to the temple in the city.】
[The city lord asks you to rest for a night first, and the banquet to welcome you will be held in two days at the latest. 】
[Priest Mara of the temple confirmed your appointment documents, expressed his long-awaited greetings to you, and then took you to the priest's living room. 】
[You stand in the priest's living room of the temple, looking at the gorgeous decoration inside.]
[After a long journey, you finally have a place where you can rest for a while]
[Your last source of essence is slowly consumed. If you don’t follow, your remaining source of essence is 0/3. The source of essence can be restored to full value in sixteen hours, and the upper limit cannot be exceeded.]
[Warning! The source material has been consumed. Do you want to force the game? 】
【"Yes or no"】
Mo Yuan hurriedly clicked "No". He didn't dare to bet on what would happen if he forced the game.
Since you can't play the game anymore, just lie down in bed and sleep.
Too many things happened that day, and Mo Yuan was a little tired. He lay on the bed, thinking about his future, and fell asleep slowly.
The next day, early morning.
Mo Yuan slowly woke up from his sleep, and he subconsciously summoned the destiny panel. Hehehe was so happy that he made up his mind in his heart.
Extraordinary life is here today, and I can never sink any further.
Looking at the call from Monica on his phone, Mo Yuan answered it resolutely.
"Oh, Monica, I think our love can't go on like this anymore. I have found the true meaning of life."
"No, it's not because of Catherine, I've told you many times! Catherine and I are just friends! We don't have that kind of relationship!"
"Catherine, don't come to my house again! Our relationship has ended here."
"No, Monica didn't find out. No, it has nothing to do with Monica. I found the true meaning of life."
"Luni, I will never go to your house again, and our relationship has almost come to an end."
"What! Your sister also... No! No! I found life..."
"What! Your stepmother also..."
"Wait for me, I'll be there soon!"
At noon, Mo Yuan left Lu Ni's house a little tired. He swore on his kidneys:
Tomorrow, tomorrow, these days of depravity will surely end.
Listening to the laughter and commotion of Lu Ni's family outside the door, Mo Yuan couldn't help but tense up and hurriedly drove the sports car back home.
…………………………………………
Back home, Mo Yuan began to read through the master's practice notes he got yesterday.
Although he still doesn't understand the concepts of many things in the notes, it is still useful to simply memorize them and try to interpret some of the things in them in his own way.
Through reading, Mo Yuan roughly understood the difference between a priest and a mage.
Priests and mages both use mana to cast spells, and the fundamental difference between them lies in the way spells are structured.
The priest's spell structure is given by the gods, and you don't need to outline it in your mind one by one. Therefore, both the casting speed and quality are quite satisfactory, and there will be no changes.
Moreover, the number of divine spells a priest has is determined by the god, and it cannot be more or less. The divine spells possessed by priests of the same realm and type in each religious sect are basically the same.
But mages are different. The spells possessed by mages are determined by the mage's ability to outline the structure of spells. There is a huge gap in strength between mages of the same level. They are professions with a high upper limit but a low lower limit.
However, there is no difference in status between the two on the mainland. They are almost all relatively noble professions on the mainland. Priests are backed by many gods, and mages are representatives of knowledge and mystery. Their status is far from ordinary professions such as warriors or thieves.
Comparable.
It was precisely because of understanding this that Mo Yuan found the assassination of young priest Tilo a bit strange.
First of all, as a priest, why didn’t Tilo ask Mo Yuan to go to the temple to explain the incident immediately after he was assassinated? Instead, he asked Mo Yuan to pretend to be him and act normally as a priest in the city, waiting for the archbishop in a month.
I'll tell you this when I get to the city.
Moreover, in the territory of the Goddess of Tranquility, her own priest was assassinated by members of other divine religions. This is completely inconsistent with what Mo Yuan just read in the book, that the gods can sense each of their priests!
Mo Yuan thought carefully, and suddenly an idea flashed in his head.
Unless, first of all, the goddess of Tranquility is in very bad condition, and has even fallen asleep. At least it is difficult to receive news from the outside world, so she cannot sense the condition of her priest.
Secondly, there are likely to be traitors and spies within the Serenity Cult, which makes Delo dare not simply report the matter, and has to wait for an opportunity to get in front of a big shot.
