I was so scared that I put all my points into health.
Chapter 8 The Priest's Path of Rebellion
With a dazzling flash of light, Wang Xiaoyi and the Elf King Dragon left the Fairy Forest in the blink of an eye, and Wang Xiaoyi returned to the Adventurer Guild in a pleasant mood.
The guild hall was practically empty at this time. Wang Xiaoyi walked to the reception desk and explained his purpose to the receptionist. Upon hearing Wang Xiaoyi's words, the receptionist's eyes widened in surprise, her mouth agape as if she could fit an egg inside.
"You've completed the priest's job change quest?" the receptionist asked, feigning delight, her voice laced with disbelief—a masterful performance.
"That's really impressive," the receptionist replied mechanically, a professional smile on her face. She thought to herself, "It's just a simple slime quest, and it took you a whole day to complete it. How weak!" In her opinion, this should have been an easy quest even a beginner could complete.
Wang Xiaoyi smiled nonchalantly and replied, "Yes, I thought I was going to die, but I survived." His tone was relaxed, as if he were recounting a trivial matter, but only he knew how much danger and hardship he had experienced that day.
The receptionist thought disdainfully, "To die on such an easy task, it's laughable." However, she maintained a polite smile, not wanting to make a mistake in her job. She took out her job transfer certificate from the drawer and handed it to Wang Xiaoyi.
"You can go to the temple bishop to complete your conversion ceremony," the receptionist said.
Wang Xiaoyi accepted the job change certificate, secretly relieved. He turned to leave, but then remembered something and turned back to ask, "By the way, where is the temple bishop?"
The receptionist curled his lip and pointed to the other end of the guild hall: "It's over there. See that most magnificent building? That's the temple. The bishop is inside."
Wang Xiaoyi nodded, thanked the receptionist, and then walked towards the temple.
The temple was solemn and dignified, with the bishop sitting quietly on the altar. Wang Xiaoyi respectfully stepped forward and showed his job change certificate.
The bishop nodded gently and said, “This world is full of miracles and courage. On behalf of God, I allow you to accept your application and officially make you a clergyman.”
The bishop turned and walked to the altar to begin preparations for Wang Xiaoyi's conversion ceremony.
Wang Xiaoyi was secretly delighted. He knew he had taken the first step towards becoming a true priest. He looked up at the bishop, his eyes shining with determination.
The bishop's voice rang out again: "Now, I will perform the initiation ceremony for you. Please close your eyes and feel the baptism of divine power."
Wang Xiaoyi closed his eyes as instructed, sensing the sacred aura surrounding him. He felt a warm and powerful force surging into his body, as if a warm current was flowing through him.
After a while, the bishop's voice rang out again: "Alright, the initiation ceremony is complete. You are now an apprentice priest."
Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang in Wang Xiaoyi's mind: "Ding, Priest job change quest completed." This voice was undoubtedly the best affirmation and encouragement for Wang Xiaoyi.
Wang Xiaoyi opened his eyes, feeling the new power surging within him, his heart filled with anticipation and longing.
The bishop took an ancient scroll from the altar and handed it to Wang Xiaoyi. "This is a skill scroll for trainee priests. After reading it, you will master the skills within. I hope you can continue to complete your missions successfully and bring more hope and light to the world of adventure. When you reach level 20, you can come back again, at which time you can become a truly independent clergyman."
After Wang Xiaoyi changed jobs, the bishop took out a set of trainee priest equipment and props from a treasure chest next to the altar and solemnly handed it to him.
First, there was a pristine white robe, radiating a soft glow. The bishop gently patted the robe and said, "This is a robe of blessing bestowed by the gods. Wearing it can protect you from a certain amount of magical damage and enhance your healing abilities."
Wang Xiaoyi carefully took the robe, feeling its soft and warm touch.
Then, the bishop picked up an exquisite staff. A shimmering blue gem was set at the top of the staff, radiating a mysterious power. The bishop said, "It will help you cast spells more effectively and enhance the power of your magic."
Wang Xiaoyi took the staff, gently stroking the patterns on it, and felt the power it contained.
In addition, the bishop gifted Wang Xiaoyi some useful items, such as healing potions, magic scrolls, and armor. Each item was carefully selected to help Wang Xiaoyi better complete his adventure quests.
The bishop said earnestly, "These equipment and items will be a great help on your adventure. I hope you will make good use of them and bring more hope and light to the world of adventure."
Wang Xiaoyi's praise for the bishop was like a surging river, endless and boundless. Overwhelmed with emotion, he said in a slightly trembling voice, "Your Excellency, you are truly the guiding light of my world of adventure! Your wisdom and compassion, like brilliant stars, illuminate our path forward."
He paused, then continued, “You not only taught me how to be an excellent pastor, but also how to face difficulties, how to persevere in my beliefs, and how to grow in adversity. Your teachings are like a gentle spring breeze, nourishing my heart and making me more steadfast and confident on my path of growth.”
Wang Xiaoyi's eyes shone with reverence as he continued, "Your Excellency, your generosity and selflessness deeply impress me. You always bestow the best equipment and items upon us young adventurers, enabling us to go further and more steadily on our adventures. Your care and support are our greatest motivation."
He bowed deeply, his voice filled with gratitude and reverence: "Your Excellency, I cannot express in words your greatness and sublimity. I can only repay your kindness with my actions. I will strive to become the best priest and bring more hope and light to the world of adventure."
His Holiness the bishop smiled and nodded, a look of satisfaction in his eyes. He knew that Wang Xiaoyi had truly understood his teachings and had found his direction and goals. He believed that Wang Xiaoyi would surely create his own glory on his future adventures.
Clearly, His Highness the Bishop hadn't heard so much praise in a long time. Wang Xiaoyi's compliments were like a gentle spring breeze, filling him with immense pleasure and satisfaction. This feeling was truly indescribable for him.
A happy smile spread across the bishop's face, his eyes narrowing into slits. He thought to himself, "What a sincere child! So many compliments! I'm truly flattered." He waved his hands repeatedly, trying to hide his joy, but the light in his eyes was impossible to conceal.
Wang Xiaoyi secretly felt pleased with himself as he observed the bishop's reaction. He knew that his praise had greatly pleased the bishop, which would undoubtedly be beneficial to his future adventures.
Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang in Wang Xiaoyi's mind: "Ding, you have gained the bishop's favor, triggering the Holy Word series quest - Symphony of Light and Darkness."
Wang Xiaoyi was overjoyed and quickly asked, "System, what kind of skill is Holy Word?"
The system replied: "Holy Word is a powerful priest skill with a chance to subjugate undead monsters. This skill can only be obtained by meeting the following conditions and completing the first stage of the Holy Word questline series—Symphony of Light and Darkness:"
1. The priest's level must reach 20;
2. Complete at least five difficult-level dungeon quests to accumulate sufficient reputation points;
3. Possess at least three pieces of divinely bestowed equipment.
The effects of the Holy Word spell are as follows:
1. Using Holy Word on undead monsters has a 30% chance of causing them to surrender;
2. Surrendered undead monsters will become your allies and assist you in battle;
3. Each time you use the Holy Word spell, your reputation will increase by a certain amount.
After hearing the system's explanation, Wang Xiaoyi felt a burning flame ignite in his heart, filled with anticipation. The hidden skill "Holy Word" was like a shining pearl, radiating an alluring light that drew him ever closer to his goal. However, when his thoughts turned to the conditions required to complete this task, his brows furrowed slightly.
Reaching level 20 first is no easy task for him right now. In this adventurous world full of danger and the unknown, every level up is like a thrilling battle, requiring him to accumulate experience points through countless battles, explorations, and puzzle-solving. Powerful enemies lurk ahead of him, and various complex quest processes are like mazes waiting for him to unravel.
And then there are the difficult-level dungeons—these are places that strike fear into the hearts of all. It's said that these dungeons are teeming with monsters, enormous in size, incredibly strong, and possessing all sorts of bizarre skills. Each level is intricately designed, filled with traps, puzzles, and unexpected dangers. Just entering the entrance requires immense strength, let alone successfully completing it.
He was filled with doubt about this divinely bestowed equipment. What kind of equipment could be called divinely bestowed? Was it a magnificent suit of armor he had never seen before, engraved with mysterious runes and radiating a holy light? Or was it a sword that emitted a ghostly blue light, its blade as sharp as autumn water, and he could feel a powerful force surging within him just by holding it? Or perhaps an exquisite crystal ball that seemed to contain the secrets of the entire world, and using it could summon the protection of the gods?
As he envisioned the divinely bestowed equipment in his mind, he secretly made up his mind. Whatever this divinely bestowed equipment might be, he would obtain it through his own efforts. "Divinely bestowed equipment? I, Wang Xiaoyi, will definitely find the answer." He clenched his fist, his eyes radiating unwavering determination. He knew he was like a traveler groping in the dark; though the path ahead was fraught with thorns, as long as he had faith in his heart and strength in his steps, he would surely find that goal that shone with the light of hope.
His Holiness the bishop was delighted to see Wang Xiaoyi's excited expression. He knew that this young man had unlimited potential and would surely become an outstanding priest in the future.
