Chapter 174: The Role of the Saint-Elect
"Stand there and don't move, be careful!"
Alice, who was more dazzling and energetic than ever, said to me with a smile.
Standing aside as Alice had said, I looked at the little ghost in front of me with strange eyes.
"Hey ......"
Alice stood a few meters away from me, closed her eyes in a hurry, held her hands on her chest and made a prayer movement, in an instant, a white but not dazzling light slowly dispersed in her palm, and when the light no longer increased, she took a deep breath, and the hand with dazzling light gently pushed outward, with her movements, a transparent wall composed of light spread out from her body in all directions, extending to more than ten meters.
Of course, this wall of light also touched my body, but its real effect doesn't seem to be as spectacular as the visual effect, I just feel as if there is a warm breeze gently blowing, and after the wall of light penetrates my body, I don't feel anything anymore, there is no change in the surrounding attributes, no change in skills, and no change in resistance.
"Hmph, how's that? It's amazing!! β
Seeing me looking at my body in surprise, Alice couldn't help but say happily, her little nose was imperceptibly upturned, and the end of her words was raised cutely, and she looked a little pitiful.
"Stupid, isn't there nothing? Don't just waste energy. β
In front of Alice, who was wagging her tail and asking for merit to herself, I grabbed her face on both sides mercilessly and pulled it out.
"Who's wrong, it's easy to hurt Li...... Who said that, this is a very powerful skill, woo" Alice said vaguely with a pretty little face pulled by me.
"Oh, what's the use of that?"
I let go of Alice. Said with interest.
"Exorcism!"
As soon as she let go of her hand, two crisp and angry words couldn't wait to come out of her little mouth.
"Smack-"
"Wow!!"
I gave Alice a merciless slap and continued to rub my hand against the good-felt face in her short exclamation.
"So I'm a demon, that's good."
"Purple is dead...... Alice begged with a sad face.
"So, can you tell me what's going on? Why do you have this skill called Jimo? "After letting go of your hand with satisfaction,
"It's an exorcism."
Alice rubbed her numb face and muttered quietly.
"Ahem, though, you've finally noticed this most critical issue."
Coughing a few times, Alice tapped her index finger. A boy, you finally have an epiphany of pride.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's really not a big deal, it's just that before the invasion of hell, people were used as alternate saints, of course. It's not a big deal, it's just a few people from the millions of girls, uh-huh......"
She shook her fingertips. The pair of plump breasts under the simple white robe were slightly erected, and they narrated in a voice that seemed to be normal, of course, if there was anything different from usual, it was a big deal The tone of these words was a little higher, and the ear measurement should exceed 80 decibels, and the alternate was only 20 decibels at most.
"Ah, it's really nothing remarkable."
I said nonchalantly in a tone that replied while repairing my nails. Echoing Alice's literal anticipation.
"Whew
Alice was caught off guard by such a cold reaction, she pursed her lips and blinked a few times with her silver eyes. He looked at me pitifully, as if he didn't know how to proceed.
"Okay, okay, then explain to me, what does your skill have to do with the alternate saint?"
Seeing Alice's pitiful appearance, I couldn't bear to reach out. Smoothed the length of her moonlight.
"Hmph-" seems to be very dissatisfied with his candidate for the Holy Virgin's Land, and the topic is brought over like this. She let out a slight snort through her nose, but answered my question right away.
"Because I want to be a saint-in-waiting. The requirements are very strict, and the first point is to have at least the strength of a priest apprentice. β
"So you were originally a priest's apprentice?"
I raised my tone in surprise.
"Wrong."
Alice raised her little Joan nose: "That's just the bare minimum, I'm a real first-order priest." β
After Alice's explanation, I realized that in her time, the division of professions was not as fine as it is now, and the priest apprentice at that time was probably equal to the current students of the Rogge training camp, and the first-order priest represented level 1-12, that is, the priest who mastered the first-order skills, and so on, the second-order priest was level 12-24, all the way to the 5th level priest, that is, it was equivalent to level 60 or above, in addition, the priest has many differences from the current seven professions, for example, the priest is upgraded, except after killing monsters, You can also gain experience in medical treatment, assistance, and so on.
"The effect of that exorcism just now is actually similar to the function of the paladin's holy light bullet, and it can only be used against undead or demons."
"What about the damage?" I ask the most crucial question.
"That...... A little, a little bit, the main effect is to push the surrounding monsters away. Alice tilted her head over my head, her eyes wandering, and replied vaguely.
"Can you heal allies like Holy Light Bullets?" I throw up the second question.
"This, it seems that it can't be ......" Alice's head tilted a little more, making me wonder if she would break her beautiful neck like a white swan.
"No wonder the profession of pastor has been lost to history, I seem to understand it."
"Don't say that, the main function of a pastor is to heal the sick. There is also support, and it is too reluctant to fight. Alice retorted unwillingly.
"That's why it will be eliminated, a profession that lacks combat effectiveness."
My assertive tone left Alice speechless, and she could only look at me with malicious eyes, as if a shrewd boxer was constantly looking for a flaw in the other.
"In addition to exorcism, do you have any other skills in the first order? Don't sue sΓΉ, I'm just that. β
I asked in a tone that I wouldn't be surprised even if I really had only one.
"Damn, don't underestimate the priest, of course there can't be just one. In addition to exorcism, there are also healing techniques and detoxifications. β
Alice glared at me with troubled eyes.
Level 1 healing, instantly increasing the target's health by 25.
Level 1 Detoxification Technique, instantly removes toxin damage for the opponent and increases the opponent's toxin resistance by 20%. Lasts 1 minute.
The healing technique is okay, after all, it is instantaneous, and the cooldown time is relatively short. As for the antidote, I can only say that even a bottle of antidote is not as effective as ......
However, I suddenly noticed one of the most important places.
"Ahh You little ghost, you can just use healing or antidote experiments, but you want to choose exorcism, do you really imagine me as a monster? I approached Alice fiercely, ten fingers slowly wriggling in front of her.
"Please...... Please don't misunderstand my kindness, I ...... I'm just trying to purify your mind. Alice replied in a panic.
"That means my mind is filthy? Even more unforgivable! Without further ado, I started bullying Alice again......
"Uh, I also deliberately revealed the identity of the Saint-in-Waiting. It's useless, you don't take it seriously at all, and you tease me in this humiliating way. β
After the play, Alice unwillingly writhed in my arms, spitting slightly and muttering in frustration.
It turns out that this little ghost specially emphasized her status as a saint, and just hoped that I would not bully her in such a humiliating way. Looking at the innocent little saint in her arms. I can't help but feel pity and love, though. If I don't bully her because of this, it's absolutely impossible, no way, Alice has a temperament that can stimulate other people's instincts.
"Who said that the identity of a saint is useless?" I pinched her face and retorted.
Alice looked up at me speechlessly, with a look on her face that seemed to say, look where you put your hands now, what's the use?
"Isn't it more rewarding to bully?" I answer as a matter of course.
"Wow!! It backfired. Alice exclaimed.
"Hey......
I stopped talking, and my lips went down to the face that had been lifted from my arms, catching the two delicate cherry lips and slamming them up.
"Well, noble lady, you're being bullied by men right now."
After a long time, I reluctantly let go of Alice, and gently kissed her with my lips against her ear.
"Woo Devil*
On the other hand, Alice's hot breath sucked into my ears, and with my eyes closed, I could imagine her blushing face and troubled look at the moment, this little ghost that people loved and wanted to bully, if it weren't for the wrong time and place, I really wanted to eat her right now.
"Okay, let's stop here, since you also have a class, you can probably use some equipment."
After bullying Alice hard, I got to the point.
After questioning, I learned that Alice's current priest level is only level four, which is the result of her practice in the cathedral for a period of time, otherwise the rank of this deep boudoir who only knows how to read is definitely still a single person.
"Let me find out if there's anything you can use."
I frowned and began to toss through my messy inventory, saying that all the low-level and useless equipment had been handed over to Chassi in the past, and most of the equipment that had been revealed now was unusable for Alice, and it was really not easy to find a suitable one for her.
Alice, who had come over, sat upside down, quietly watching me sweating profusely rummaging through her inventory, a warm smile on the corner of her mouth, and her silver eyes trembling slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
After a long time, I finally got together a set of equipment that could be worn at level four, which was a fish that slipped through the net on the bottom - a blue mana cloth armor, a white hat, and a necklace I thought about it again and again, it would be more appropriate to give her the agility necklace of the lizard with mana and agility, the ring just had four, just give two at will, shoes and gloves are whiteboards, no way, it's not that I don't have a better one, it's just that she has a low level, and second, she can think of it even without using her brain, with the power of a priest......
In addition, there are a number of potions, and even teleportation scrolls and identification scrolls, although these seem to be of little use to her, but they are also mobile storage boxes, so it is also appropriate to help me share them......
"Huh? Strange, why hasn't there been any change? β
When Alice was dressed, I saw that her appearance had not changed in any way, and she was still wearing the same shabby white robe.
"Because it's a ghost." Alice said as if for granted.
Because it's a ghost? What a universal explanation, I have a black line on my face.
After Alice had made sure that the equipment was working, and before I could say anything more, she suddenly looked pained.
"What's wrong?" I asked, surprised.
"It's nothing, it's just the first time I've refueled in this way, and it seems a little uncomfortable." Alice couldn't help but laugh.
"What then?" I panicked.
"It doesn't matter, but I'll probably need to get some good sleep." Alice shook her head and gently stroked my cheek with her hand.
"Is it really okay?" I looked at her earnestly.
"It's okay, I won't leave you again, just go back in a little bit and recuperate for a while."
Alice said in a very affirmative tone, and then slowly disappeared in front of me. "Probably, probably more than a ......"
"Alice, Alice......"
The sound stopped abruptly, and I pulled the necklace out in surprise and pressed it carefully to my ear, but from above came a slight snoring sound that made me feel relieved and couldn't laugh or cry.
This abominable little ghost, seeing that she didn't train her well after waking up, I let out a big breath, and my hanging heart relaxed......
