Chapter 165: Piety
"Wait a minute."
The temple guard seemed to know the Charles, and after a pause in his gaze, he turned and walked into the apse.
After a while, Arnold, the High Priest and head of the Temple of Knowledge of Arabe, stood in front of the Charles, looking at him with a smile on his face, not annoyed by being disturbed in the middle of the night.
"Holy Presence, we meet again."
"Ogma always favored his devout followers."
Arnold, with his hair disheveled and wearing only a white silk priestly robe, pressed his right palm against his chest and bowed slightly, then his eyes rested on Charles's hands.
He was clearly looking for the Scepter of Radiance, but unfortunately Charles had already returned it to the female lord.
"Your Excellency the High Priest." Charles bowed as well, and then took out the Adamantite Emblem from his inventory, the High Priest's Seal.
"Huh?"
“…… The dark aura above was too strong, and the original owner must have been a high-ranking priest...... Green Iron Fist? This is Bane's mark, and it turns out to be Bane's priesthood......"
The High Priest muttered, completely losing his previous calm expression, and you can imagine how much shock this evil emblem brought him. Is it true that the emblem of a magic weapon, which is equivalent to the life of a priest, actually appeared in the hand of a Holy Presence......
Thinking of this, Arnold couldn't help but take a deep breath, and suddenly thought of the news of the destruction of the Scepter of Victory Radiance and the 'Fist of Vengeance' two days ago.
There is undoubtedly an intrinsic connection between these kinds, and the soul figure is the Holy Presence in front of you.
“…… Your Excellency has asked a Holy Presence to take charge of this kind of major event that affects the territory. It seems that he does trust him...... This information must be reported...... There must be action on the part of the Church......"
Arnold's mind turned. He took the evil emblem that Charles had handed him over.
"That's right."
"It's the magic weapon of a high priest."
"And the arcane sigil on it has dissipated. This means that the original owner is dead. ”
Holding the emblem, Arnold was able to see at a glance a secret situation that the Charr could not detect with the 'Detection Magic' magic technique.
"Holy Presence, have you decided to give this emblem to the Church of Knowledge?" Arnold's face suddenly became serious, and he couldn't take his eyes off Charles. This also illustrates the importance of the evil emblem.
"I have decided to give the emblem to the followers of Ogmar."
"If there is a priest who can decipher the spell on the evil emblem, in the future, when the priests of Ogma encounter the Bann believers, they will be able to predict the magic dynamics of the dark believers in advance and launch countermeasures." Charles also said with a solemn expression.
"The stakes are high, and I will give this emblem to the Patriarch of Susar. Let His Excellency the Patriarch determine what is to be done to you. ”
Arnold put away the evil emblem and said with a smile: "You can go back first, please come to the temple at noon tomorrow, and there should be an order from the church headquarters at that time." ”
Charles leaves the Temple of Knowledge.
Before going offline, he specifically checked the system information that popped up after submitting the evil emblem.
"Lose [High Priest's Seal] (purple)*1."
"Gain 1,000 Temple Contribution Points."
"+100 Piety."
"The 'Temple Identity' module has been unlocked. Players can accumulate piety points to increase the status of the priesthood, or they can consume piety to purchase baptisms, training and other items to increase the quality of the character in an all-round way. ”
Piety?
The new trick made Charles raise an eyebrow, and he tried to call out the new panel, and sure enough, a box popped up in his field of vision.
"Current Temple Status: [Priest Trainee] (0/10)."
"Trainable items: None. Baptismal Items: None, Assessment Tasks: None. ”
Only 10 points of devotion are required to increase the status rank. Charles thought about it and chose to ascend.
"Achieved Official Pastor (0/50)."
Keep improving.
"Achieved Battle Priest (0/100)."
The status of the temple has been increased by two ranks in a row, and there are still 40 points left in the devotion value. Under the third level of identity, the items in the panel are finally no longer empty.
First of all, there is the trainable project, which is densely packed with a whole row of text.
"I heard that Pastor Blaise of the Susar Church had traveled to the mainland in his early years and had a lot of knowledge, so you can spend half a day asking him about the customs and customs of various parts of the continent and increase his knowledge. (-3 Piety, +1 'Knowledge' Skill)"
"The Knight Commander Haber of the Church of Susar is highly skilled in martial arts, and if you want to develop in melee combat, you can ask the Knight Master to give you a three-day short training. (-10 Piety, gain any of the War-type specialization hints)"
"The Church of Arabe has a powerful battle priest, Gerald, who has advanced to the rank of 'Storm Lord' and is a master of spear wielding. If you're a fan of spear weapons and want to progress towards the Storm Lord' route, you can go to Gerald and take his advanced test. (-100 Piety, Claim Stage 1 Advanced Quest)"
Skills training, specialty training, vocational training.
The above three pieces of information can be regarded as a training program that can summarize the identity of the temple. On top of that, Charles also found a long training that permanently increased a stat, but it took a lot of time and devotion points.
Next up is the baptism project.
"[Baptism of Will Blessing] (Weak): +1 for all will immunity of the character."
"[Baptism of Battle Blessing] (Weak): Character Attack Check +1."
"[Baptism of Indomitable Blessing] (Weak): Character Tenacity Immunity +1."
These temporary blessing buffs are actually similar to the rune blessings of the Rune Priest. However, there is a time limit for Temple Blessing, for example, if the player chooses [Battle Baptism Blessing] (Weak), they also need to choose the duration of Baptism, the base time is 1 day, and if it is extended, it will consume 1 piety point per day.
"I submitted a quasi-legendary emblem to the temple, and I only got 100 piety points, so if you calculate it, it is estimated that no player will be able to permanently use the baptismal blessing effect provided by the temple......"
Charles didn't care.
The third-order temple status can only provide the baptism blessing of the [weak] level, and has little impact on the strength of the character.
The assessment task column is still empty. Charles speculates that this is an item that will only appear when the temple status reaches the corresponding level, and it is estimated that the player will be able to continue to improve the status after completing the mission.
Just those skills and specialization training programs determine that players must make a difference in the identity of the temple, otherwise the gap between the strength of other players and other players will become wider and wider, and Charles is now a big step ahead of other players.
"There are still 40 points of piety, find time to add a few specialty tips, and see if you can fully comprehend a specialty, both war and law specialties are available, and it is better to lack them."
Tonight's harvest was unexpected, and Charles didn't immediately go offline, but set his sights on the data panel.
He also forgot about an upliftable item.
【Iron Star Stream】Martial arts. (To be continued......)
ps: After taking all the subjects on the 30th ~ next month to impact full attendance, this is an attitude (/□\)~~
