Chapter 1003: The Dust Settles (I.)
Roland fell into deep thought. From Orthodox Christianity to Crescentism, to the many Protestants that emerged from the Religious Revolution, such as the Anglican model of union with royal power...... It was finally determined that the doctrine of Sindra must be revised with patriotism and nationalism, but this work had to be done very carefully, otherwise it was likely to backfire, either by creating factional antagonism within the Church, or by the emasculation of the Church's metabolic self-renewal function and turning into a crippled monster.
With a long breath, Roland deeply felt that the "elect" was really a chore, and there was a long way to go to improve the church system, and the goddess sister didn't give any hints of "divine revelation" or anything, it was too uninteresting!
Leaving his distractions aside, Roland took advantage of the time he had some free time to check through the loot, including an Upanishad, a Morning Star Hammer, and three magic rings.
The Upanishads are a relic of Lieutenant Colonel Elwin, and Roland has absorbed 2 degrees of potential to identify them, confirming that they contain an interesting divine power specialty, the "Follower of the Sun", also known as the "Follower of Light".
System Hint: Discover the Divine Specialty "Followers of Light"!
Prerequisites: Ability to dispel undead; Belong to the camp of goodness
Identification Report: When you dispel the undead, you can spend 2 dispels instead of 1 to destroy the undead that could only be dispelled!
"Dispel the undead" is a supernatural ability unique to clerics such as priests and paladins, and Roland is certainly no stranger to this, but the specific dispel effect is quite complicated, involving the priest's own level and charisma attributes, in addition to the fact that there is a lot of randomness in the results (you need to roll the dice), and many times it depends on luck.
To put it simply, there are three possible outcomes of dispersing the undead: the rank or charisma of the cleric is not high enough, the dispel may fail, and it will not have any effect on the undead; If the rank or charisma of the cleric is neither high nor low compared to the undead, then a successful dispel will cause the undead to fall into a state of fear, giving up the attack and scurrying around; If the cleric is particularly high in rank or charisma, a successful dispel will have another effect - instead of throwing the undead into fear, they will destroy them outright!
Based on the above dispersal principle, it is not difficult to see the power of the "Followers of Light", this divine power specialty costs double the dispel energy, so that those undead who would have been frightened by your dispel will be directly wiped out, which is very powerful when fighting against the undead! Considering the possibility of becoming an enemy of the Naraku Order in the future, this supernatural specialty would be quite useful for Roland. What made him even more pleased was that although the "Follower of Light" is usually considered to be the exclusive meaning of the Pero Church, in fact, it is not necessary for the cultivator to be a follower of Perot, as long as he meets the two preconditions of "good camp" and "possession of the ability to dispel", he can learn this mystery.
Roland's camp attributes are very special, he is good when he needs kindness, and evil when he needs evil, not to mention the ability to dispel, which is completely in line with the premise of learning "Follower of Light", as for the small price of doubling the consumption of dispel energy, it is not a problem for him, anyway, he has so much dispel energy that he can't use up. It should be noted that the "Followers of Light" can only be activated by "Dispel the Undead", and "Rebuke the Undead" is not allowed, as it invokes negative energy and cannot create a holy light that kills evil spirits.
Absorbing the "Followers of Light", Roland picked up Krautz's Morning Star Hammer to identify it.
System Tip: Discover +4 Holy Chill Iron Morning Star Hammer!
Roland carried the spiked, round-headed hammer and shook it, smiling with satisfaction. He just lacked a blunt weapon to take advantage of, this Morning Star Hammer came at the right time, and he was barely a holy warrior, and a holy warrior without a big shield and sledgehammer in his hand always felt that it was not enough...... Well, he admits that his aesthetic tastes are rather bizarre.
Putting away the Morning Star Hammer, Roland still had three magic rings in his hand.
The first was a ring carved from a whole ruby taken from Anthony Fogel. Roland used the "Pupil of Destiny" to identify it, and found that the ring could perform a 6-ring "trigger" once a day. There is no direct benefit to "triggering" itself, the key is what kind of spell effect you want to "trigger" with it, and what kind of trigger conditions you want to set up.
Anthony previously deposited a 4-ring "Arbitrary Door" in the ring, which was linked to the trigger, and set the trigger chain when he was suddenly attacked, automatically activating the arbitrary door and teleporting to a place as far away from the attacker as possible. Later, in the temple dungeon, when Roland attacked him from behind, the "Ring of Avoidance" was activated in time, allowing him to escape from danger temporarily. Unfortunately, this Mr. Anthony's spell casting level was limited, and an arbitrary door was not enough to send him to a place of absolute safety, and he was later overtaken by Roland with the "dimensional hand". Imagine, if the "trigger technique" in the ring room at that time constituted a chain of "return mantras", and directly sent him back to the empire's hometown or a legendary powerhouse, most likely he would not have fallen into the current situation.
The second magic ring is forged from Mithril and inlaid with topaz, which can unleash an "anti-magic field" once a day, diffusing around the wearer itself. It was with this ring that Klautz had recently tried to deliver the final blow to Roland, and he almost succeeded.
Roland was playing with the "Anti-Demon Ring", feeling a little conflicted. In the world of Vares, the hierarchy of spells is not always reasonable, some spells are inflated in their level but are not very useful, and there are some spells that are not very high in their own level but can restrain spells of a higher level than it, the "anti-magic field" is a typical example of the latter, its huge tactical value far exceeds its spell level, and it is very effective against spellcasters blessed with various buff spells, powerful monsters with supernatural abilities, or local tyrants with luxurious magic equipment, the only embarrassment is the "anti-magic field" It also works on the caster itself. If you are a barbarian who fights purely by physical strength, it is of course very appropriate to wear this ring, but Roland himself belongs to the type that relies on spells and magic equipment to fight, and activating the "anti-magic field" is like abandoning martial arts, which is really a bit painful.
"You don't need to wear this thing in normal times, and it's never too late to take it out when dealing with special enemies."
Putting away the "Anti-Demon Ring", Roland was left with the last ring in his hand. Unlike the previous two rings, this ring forged from white gold exudes pure divine power, the ring is wide and flat, and there are no decorative jewels on it, but a carefully carved coat of arms, and there are traces of ink ink between the textures. Obviously, this is a "seal ring" that is often used to affix seals to documents and letters, and it is the "official seal" granted by the Holy See to the archbishops of the Far Eastern provinces.
