16. The Path of Light

The bells on the marble square were ringing melodiously, and among the gray buildings in front, a pure white crown tower soared into the sky.

The solemn temple was very quiet. Lin Feng stepped into the door and passed by a group of demon hunters preparing to go out.

Their outfits look nothing like clerics, with dark cloaks, leather armors engraved with charms, goggles on their faces, and weapons hung on their waists that are all kinds of strange. There seems to be no unified standard. There are short daggers for close combat.

Swords, long-range crossbow fire systems, and even some engineering projectiles hung on their bodies, such as powerful iron grenades and goblin engineer bombs.

He was looking at others, but they also stopped and looked at him, the meaning of their eyes in the goggles was unclear.

Lin Feng suddenly realized that the pollution level on his body was a full 36%, which had even reached the level of mutation, and these demon hunters... were specialized in dealing with such things!

"Discovered?"

Just as Lin Feng watched the person approaching with anxiety, a gentle and gentle voice sounded from behind him.

"Kids, if you want to pray, go to the cathedral next door~"

A young nun stood behind him at some point and waved to the team of demon hunters.

Being treated like a child again...

Turning around, Lin Feng said seriously: "I'm here to apply for employment."

"No, you're too young. You'd better wait until you grow up."

"..."

Looking into those calm eyes, the nun said seriously:

"You must not be impulsive. Professionals are not as glamorous as they appear on the surface. When you gain strength, you also have to bear responsibilities that you cannot imagine."

"Without time to spend with their families, without a stable life, and often involved in unknown dangers, they are the group with the highest casualty rate."

"Perhaps you can go back and discuss it with your family first. In fact, there are many deputy positions that are quite good."

In fact, Lin Feng felt that engineering and alchemy were much more dangerous than their missions.

He insisted: "I've decided!"

Sighing, the nun stood up with her knees propped up and said, "Give me your crystal card."

The identity card was taken away again, and Lin Feng looked at her leaving figure and fell into deep thought.

He was only 10 years old when the temple recruited him. Seven years have passed since then, and I don't know if he is still effective.

After a long time, an old voice suddenly sounded from behind, "You are here after all..."

The young nun disappeared, and an old priest came behind him holding his crystal card.

Lin Feng raised his head in confusion, "Who are you?"

The old man said kindly: "I am the Glorious Archbishop Icarson who originally recruited you."

[The dying old priest]

[Physical body: F]

【Spirit:???】

[Level: S]

Through comparison, Lin Feng finally had an intuitive understanding of the strength of the dark priest.

The mastermind behind the scenes is actually a bishop!

At this point, he was even more eager to gain the power to protect himself.

"Then now I..."

Looking at the old priest, Lin Feng asked cautiously: "Are you late?"

The old man chuckled and said, "That's not true. We always welcome people who are willing to devote themselves to the light."

"It's just." The bishop's old face slowly became serious.

"Are you really sure you are ready to awaken?"

"The darkness is far more terrifying than you imagine. Are you really willing to be in that kind of danger forever?"

Lin Feng calmly replied: "I do."

"Don't agree in a hurry. I know your current situation is very bad, but compared with the daily life of a priest, it is nothing at all."

The bishop's eyes softened and he said, "Behind these ordinary days, there are countless casualties, and the temple is the most serious group. Basically, countless low-level priests are sacrificed every year. Among all professional temples,

Occupation with the highest casualty rate."

"The Holy Light will not let danger go away from you. On the contrary, when you carry the light, you will have the responsibility to walk into the darkness to light up the most dazzling light."

"So, are you sure you are really ready for this kind of awareness? Think carefully about what happened yesterday. Once you have the power, you may be in that kind of danger every day in the future."

Lin Feng listened quietly, the expression on his face did not change at all.

"I do."

The old priest stared at him for a moment, then slowly handed over a bottle of silver potion.

"Drink it."

[Consumables: Purification Potion-Changed]

[Effect: Targeted removal of physical contamination, with a certain probability of failure. 】

[Grade:A]

...

Lin Feng looked at the tube of medicine in shock.

It shouldn't be. Since the temple already has this kind of medicine, why are the casualties so heavy?

[Tip: After taking the purification potion-modification, the immune system is operating at full capacity. It is estimated that the pollution value will be removed by 15%, and it is estimated to take 300 seconds!]

The effect of the medicine is very obvious, and it can even be said to be too intense. If his body were not assisted by a data terminal, he felt that he might be ignited!

His body was as hot as a severe fever. Lin Feng covered his head with a splitting headache and asked, "What exactly is pollution?"

The bishop sighed softly, "We'll talk about this later. How do you feel now?"

He felt terrible. Through the monitoring of the data terminal, he found that his body temperature had reached a terrifying 50°C. Logically speaking, his brain without the support of fire powers should have collapsed long ago.

[Tip: Purification completed, current pollution value: 21%!]

After finally holding on for 5 minutes, Lin Feng rested his limbs on the ground as if paralyzed, steam rising from his body.

"Are you feeling better?"

"It's still a little uncomfortable."

Lin Feng stood up unsteadily, like a patient recovering from a serious illness, as if he was about to fall down if the wind blew.

"Well, this is normal. In fact, your situation is much more optimistic than I expected."

“What will happen if we are not optimistic?”

"Look around."

Lin Feng covered his head and looked around weakly.

Although it was quiet before, at least you could still see people moving around, but now, there were no ghosts left, and he and the bishop were the only ones left in the empty hall.

"Where has everyone gone?"

"Hiding."

"What are you hiding from?"

"Hide from you."

Lin Feng bit his lower lip hard, "Why?"

The bishop sighed: "Improved purification potions are not suitable for everyone. Currently, only a few people can be successfully cured, and those who fail to treat will not end well."

In other words, without knowing it, he passed the test of life and death.

Lin Feng looked at the old priest who had not moved from beginning to end, and his expression gradually calmed down.

The bishop, who thought he would lose his temper when he learned the truth, was a little surprised.

"It seems that you are really ready to wake up."

Looking at the warrior's expression, the bishop let out a long sigh.

"Since you can face death calmly, I can rest assured and come with me."

As they set off, the temple hall quickly returned to normal order, and those who had been hiding and watching came out of the corners one after another.
