"It's too hard to stretch out a hand when you say a thousand words. —Pastor's proverb.

Ancient Warrior Arena, Night.

In the square of a thousand people, two figures face each other and sit opposite each other in the same posture that the priest maintained during meditation.

"To be a good pastor, you first have to know what a pastor is and talk about your understanding of pastor. Dennis's voice was especially clear in the silent square.

As a thief, Luo Lan seemed to him that if the priest did not obey, then they were a flock of lambs to the slaughter, who would only toss and weep under the blade, and lead the neck to be killed, his disdainful look only flashed imperceptibly in the bottom of his eyes, but the indifferent expression and non-commenting attitude were enough to explain his opinion of the pastor.

Dennis seemed to have insight into his subtle psychology, and nodded silently: "Indeed, today's pastors, in the eyes of everyone, they and their servants are already one, and the two cannot be separated, which also directly causes people's prejudice against pastors, thinking that they can't win the battle without their subordinates, that's how you understand, right?"

Luo Lan shrugged his shoulders and admitted: "I do understand it this way, in my opinion, the priest cannot be regarded as a separate combat profession at all, looking forward to the priest fighting, I might as well not have a priest and put the person in the original squad responsible for protecting him into battle." ”

Dennis snorted and said: "The priest you are talking about can't be considered a priest at all, they are just an individual who participates in the group attack, and this kind of offensive and defensive mode will only make their combat effectiveness plummet, and greatly weaken the strength of the priest itself." ”

Luo Lan was puzzled: "Isn't group attack more able to improve offensive and defensive capabilities?

Dennis let out a vague exclamation from the veil covering his face: "You are right, group combat has the advantage of group combat, but the advantage of the individual is sometimes very important. What I want to say is that the growth of the group is actually not conducive to the development of the pastor as an individual profession, because they will give up the study and in-depth exploration of individual skills, and in the end it will only make the profession of pastor more and more weak, and with the weakening of the role of the individual, the status of the pastor will also decline gradually, and eventually become a part of the stream, because the individual pastor will be insignificant in the group, and at that time, I am afraid that all the pastors will only be able to use ordinary healing techniques with both hands, so I must do my best to preserve this skill and endless spirit of study obtained from the heroic age, combat priests。 As for who is right and who is wrong in the future, and how things will evolve, that is beyond my control. ”

Luo Lan couldn't help but be in awe, he had never thought of evaluating a profession from this height, but when he thought about it, it was true, the most mysterious and highest-ranking of all professions today were precisely those maverick magicians who emphasized the individual, and the revered status they received on the Apollo continent was also incomparable to all other professions.

On the contrary, in the evolution of the profession of thieves over the past few thousand years, although the status is not high due to the profession itself, it is also due to the particularity of its profession and the ability of the individual, so it is not weaker than the mage in terms of development, and is even called the terminator of the legal profession.

A noun in Dennis's words also caught his attention: "Battle Priest?"

"Yes, Battle Priest!" Dennis stood up with a solemn expression, looking at the ruined ruins that were gradually melting into the darkness, "In the heroic era a thousand years ago, the priest's personal skill and divine control were enough to compete with all classes alone. It's just that the priest is now less and less focused on personal skills, and in the heyday of the Holy See of Light, the position of paladin was only held by some nobles in name, and the main combat power is still our battle priest!"

She lowered her head and emphasized: "All professions refer to the professions of the Great Hero Era. ”

Luo Lan also got up slowly, he understood what the other party meant, there were many elites in the Great Hero Era, all of them had strong and peerless strength, and they had influenced the evolution of the continental pattern and the development of all professions for thousands of years. It was the most glorious era of mankind, and from that time on, mankind truly became the master of the Apollo continent.

Dennis said solemnly, "I ask you, how do you attack when you meet a priest who is walking alone?"

Luo Lan first thought of hiding in the past, then wiping his throat with a sword, and finally retreating calmly, it was simply too easy.

However, in front of Dennis, of course, he couldn't say that, but pondered it carefully, and said, "If I were a swordsman, I should find a way to trigger his light shield out, or retreat, or resist, and then go up and kill him after the shield is over."

Dennis shook his head and said, "This idea is nothing new, it is not a manifestation of your true intentions, but it is the best solution to deal with today's pastors." She showed a satisfied look and said: "I noticed that what you said is to go up and end his life, not to subdue him, very good, you must be ruthless in battle, you must not be soft at all, sympathy for the enemy is cruel to yourself!"

She stretched out a finger and pointed at Luo Lan, and said coldly: "But I also want to tell you, if you meet a priest walking alone, it is best to confirm its true combat effectiveness, otherwise there are only two results, either he dies or you die." ”

Luo Lan smiled faintly and was noncommittal.

Dennis stared at him with dark eyes, and said: "It seems that you are very unconvinced, in order to deepen your impression, I decided to show you, from now on, you can attack me at will, I will stand still, if you can touch me, you can be reduced from the punishment in the future." If you still don't touch me in thirty attacks, I'm sorry, I'm going to launch a mental attack on you, and with this explanation, I can simulate any pain in your senses and magnify it several times over. ”

Luo Lan's eyes were suddenly as sharp as a blade, and his momentum changed suddenly. If he was a sleeping leopard just now, now a cobra with his head raised.

Dennis glanced at him in slight surprise, then his eyes drooped, and said, "You can start." ”

"Random?"

Dennis said lightly: "Feel free, and I only use one hand." She added meaningfully: "I won't ask about any of your past privacy, so you can rest assured that you can boldly show your combat effectiveness completely." ”

Luo Lan's eyes converged, and he smiled lightly, he had already felt that there was a big gap between himself and this mentor in terms of strength, but he didn't believe it, how could a priest stay still in his swift attack?

He showed a pensive expression: "Mentor, I still want to ask a question......

"Well, you ask......"

Before he finished speaking, Luo Lan had already kicked over with a sinister kick, and this leg ran to Dennis's waist, the other party said not to move, so she could neither retreat nor jump, how could she dodge?

When his right foot just flew up, Dennis's palm had moved down rapidly, and a white point of light suddenly erupted on the tips of her outstretched index finger and ring finger, and the time it appeared was extremely short, so short that he almost thought it was dazzling when it fell in Luo Lan's eyes, and then he felt as if he had kicked on something extremely hard, a sharp pain came, he jumped several steps backwards with one left foot on the ground, obviously the right foot had a bone laceration, he couldn't help but be shocked, what was it?

No wonder he was so shocked, first of all, as a priest, Dennis's reflexes and speed were no weaker than him, and the white dot was clearly a variant of the use of divine magic, she used it completely silently, and the speed of casting spells was simply unbelievable.

As soon as Dennis raised his hand, a white light appeared on Luo Lan's leg, and the pain in his leg gradually disappeared without self-healing.

Dennis said in a deep voice: "Your speed and strategy are very good, but the attack power is too weak...... she thought for a while, and then said: "I found that the attack just now is not your best way, it doesn't seem to be your true strength show, I can give you another chance, you can use your favorite weapon, or your favorite way to attack, and all the conditions I just faced for yourself are the same." ”

Luo Lan put down her right foot, which seemed to be intact, and once again kept her feet on the ground, and couldn't help but think to herself, why did she ask me to expose my true attack method several times? Does she really want to see my strength, or does she have ulterior motives?

No, I can't reveal my identity, at least not yet.

He said calmly, "Really, in any way?"

Dennis nodded, "Any way." ”

Luo Lan suddenly smiled slyly, he took a few steps back, and then actually sat down on the spot. The eyes looked at Dennis for a moment.

Dennis was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but sigh: "What a smart young man......"

Dennis's restrictions on his own conditions include the condition of staying still, so Luo Lan can not attack at all, as long as he waits on the side, it is enough to make the other party defeat himself, although he did not achieve the goal of the battle in the end, but Dennis can't blame him, because waiting indefinitely will only make her die of thirst and starvation, and then Luo Lan comes up and attacks him again, which is not a violation.

She didn't set a time limit, that was her omission, but this little flaw was caught by Luo Lan.

Dennis looked at Luo Lan and said, "You have been given a chance to be exempted, and you have also won my attention, and the next test will be more stringent." ”

Luo Lan said indifferently: "I am looking forward to ......"

Suddenly, Dennis's hand moved at an unbelievable speed, and he secretly screamed that something was wrong, and he rolled on his side to try to escape, but a sharp pain turned under his feet.

Dennis never seemed to move, and she said in a deep voice, "But I didn't say I couldn't attack, and I didn't say the battle was over, did I?"

Her hand slowly lifted again, this time condensing a fist-sized white ball of light with great clarity.

Luo Lan's cold sweat flowed out, this time the damn wound was still in the place where it was broken just now, and Dennis really had a penchant for sprinkling salt on the same wound repeatedly.

Seeing Dennis' hand gradually pointing towards him, Luo Lan suddenly reached out and made a stop gesture, saying, "Wait, I admit defeat." ”

Dennis lowered his hand, looked at him with some surprise, and once again exclaimed sincerely: "Very good, your judgment of the situation is also very sharp. ”

Luo Lan's speed is very fast, but if he loses one foot, if Dennis injures the other leg, he will completely lose the ability to move, and then the opponent can repeatedly torture him until he admits defeat.

Rather than suffering in vain, it is better to admit defeat as soon as possible.

He misjudged Dennis's attacking style and distance, which was also his omission.

Again, this omission was grasped by Dennis in great detail.

Fighting, not just a contest of technology, but a combination of tactics, strategy and cunning, and even a little bit of luck, they are all part of the battle, if you put aside any of them, just from the level, skill or strength to measure the merits of the battle, it itself has fallen behind.

After a moment of silence, Dennis commented: "With your attack just now, I can see that your vision is already very unique and imaginative, but in order to become a qualified combat priest, what you still need to further train is precise control and mastery of magic skills. Based on the level of physical strength you have just shown, I found that the person who was in charge of teaching you before was very clever, he did not shape you, nor did he teach you too many moves, but repeatedly condensed the most basic things into your body, so that no matter how you develop in the future, you will have unlimited room for exploration. ”

Luo Lan's body shook slightly, and he remembered the dark and depressing cave in his mind again.

"I really want to meet the person who taught you, how did he do it?" Dennis stared at Luo Lan with burning eyes: "If nothing else, your achievements in the future will be limitless, this is predestined from the beginning, and it is the man or the hand of fate who arranged all this?"

She pondered slightly, revealing a look of infinite remembrance and sadness, "In my life, I have only met two such people. The others, although they can be called strong in their own right, have very problematic methods of teaching their apprentices, so ......" her eyes flashed with excitement, "I have a growing desire to forge you into an outstanding battle priest." ”

PS, 4000 thousand word chapters, hehe, the book of the Taoist will definitely not only exalt the thief and belittle any other profession. The structure of Minecraft is balanced, and the protagonist learns from different perspectives, borrowing, until he is truly powerful.

In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to explain that the first two chapters are not a change in my style, but I want to relax my book friends after a few serious episodes, so I added a little humorous element, thank you again for your support!
