17. Apprentices
In the dim room, the old man was flipping through an ancient book and telling the young man about the past of the mainland.
"Pollution was originally brought back by the great mages who explored the stars. At first, no one cared about the characteristics of this twisted thing. It was not until some scholars who were interested started to study it that a big problem arose."
"That is a power that we cannot recognize. There is only one outcome if we force ourselves to understand it."
The old man pointed to his head, "They have gone crazy, and their bodies have undergone earth-shaking changes. What is even more frightening is that those people have become sources of pollution, spreading endlessly to the surrounding areas."
"From that moment on, our world has been overturned. Life in the world is dying every minute and every second. Cities everywhere are rapidly falling, and those archmages are still helpless against the pollution they brought back."
The old priest sighed, "When the pollution stops spreading, there will be no normal life forms outside the magic fortress. Just when people are praying that the disaster will end soon, who knows that the real disaster has just begun."
"The alien gods have arrived, and the age of magic has ended..."
The half-opened book was closed, and the old man quietly waited for the young man to digest the information.
It took Lin Feng a long time to come to his senses, "Has the enemy been eliminated?"
"No..."
The old priest said very seriously: "Their concept of life is completely beyond our understanding. We have no way to destroy the outer gods. In the end, we expelled them back to the starry sky at a very heavy price."
"The outer gods have left, but our world is still enslaved by their power."
The old priest sighed deeply and said: "You have just come from the Magic Temple, and you should also understand how our magic system has been severely damaged. The once omnipotent mages can now only rely on magic circuits to cast spells..."
"Actually, we priests are the same, or in other words, all professional systems have been forced to change."
The old man took out a box from the drawer. After opening it, it contained a tube of precious medicine that exuded a hazy light.
[Hint: Discover the ‘Holy Energy Mixture’! 】
【Level: S!】
"Like spellcasters, now we also build a pool of holy energy in our bodies to use the holy light."
Looking at the tube of medicine, Lin Feng asked quietly: "What should I do?"
"It's very simple." The old priest chuckled and said, "Just drink it."
"Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
As an alchemist, Lin Feng is very sensitive to potions. He knows that all potions will have effects that vary from person to person depending on the physical and mental condition of the user. If possible, he wants to choose the one that is most beneficial.
"There's only one thing you need to pay attention to."
"What characteristics do you want to give to the Holy Light, or in other words, what characteristics can you give to the Holy Light."
Looking at Lin Feng's confused expression, the old priest clasped his hands and said slowly: "Let me give you a simple example."
"A young man living in a happy family was contaminated. In the process of fighting against mutation, he accidentally killed his family. How do you think this young man will feel after he wakes up?"
"despair?"
Lin Feng regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, because he suddenly saw that the old man's other hand was sewn shut with unknown leather, like some kind of seal, and in the scan of the data terminal, that very terrifying mutated limb,
The pollution level is as high as 70%!
He was not giving examples at all, but telling his own past.
The old priest who noticed his gaze smiled indifferently, "Well, if you think so, the Holy Light will be given the characteristic of 'Despair', and you will step into the path of 'Avenger' in the future."
"So do you understand? The Holy Light will be fused with the strongest will. How large a pool of Holy Energy can be built and what kind of characteristics can be obtained depend entirely on your will, whether it is obsession or will. Then
This is the path of the Holy Light that you are chasing."
Lin Feng nodded in understanding, "I understand."
"Then let's get started."
Under the gaze of the old priest, Lin Feng picked up the 'Holy Energy Mixture', raised his head, and drank it all in one gulp.
He felt like he had swallowed a light bulb, and he could even clearly see a ball of light sliding down his chest.
The ball of light suddenly exploded, and my mind buzzed.
The spiritual sea was lit up by the light, and a large number of bubbles floated in the depths of consciousness, which contained scenes of intense emotional fluctuations.
The reluctance to be frustrated when training for the first time...
Perseverance when unable to master supernatural powers...
The powerlessness when facing the genetic beast for the first time...
The anger I felt when I first met a synthetic human beast...
Looking at those almost forgotten scenes, Lin Feng realized that he was also an emotional person at the beginning, but he only became numb in the end because he experienced too many things.
[The construction of the ‘Holy Energy Pool’ is completed! 】
I don't know when the data terminal involved suddenly issued a prompt, and then Lin Feng discovered that a radiant lake had been opened up in his spiritual sea. The mental power that he had no way to control before could also boil with his thoughts.
[Tip: Get a new identity and become a trainee priest!]
[Tip: Awakening characteristics-firm, mental resistance +10!]
[Tip: Obtain 1000 points of holy energy!]
[Tip: Increase your spiritual level!]
[Tip: Level up!]
The attribute bar has undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Congratulations, young cleric."
Seeing that he had regained consciousness, the old priest was filled with relief.
"Have you felt your holy energy pool?"
"Feel it."
Lin Feng concentrated his attention and easily pulled out a trace of sacred energy from his spiritual sea, lighting up his fingers like fireflies. However, for such an ordinary operation, the sacred energy value was consumed inexplicably and crazily. It felt like it was completely
It can't last long.
He also needs to learn how to use the Holy Light.
The old priest smiled and said, "What a beautiful light of determination, you will be an outstanding paladin in the future."
"Well..."
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment and asked carefully after a long time: "Can I only become a Paladin?"
The old man looked at him strangely, "There is no limit to this, it's just that your characteristics are very suitable for the Paladin."
In fact, Lin Feng hopes that he can become a caster who releases light spells. He does not yearn for the kind of profession where he dances with a sword and shield at all. There are many reasons.
Not only was his thin body unable to support the use of that kind of weapon, but the most important thing was that he had never learned swordsmanship or shield defense at all, so he didn't know how much hardship he would have to endure if he started practicing again.
"What? Do you have your own ideas?"
The old priest chuckled, "There are only a few advancement paths left in the temple."
"Priest, Demon Hunter, Paladin, Templar, I don't think you can be a priest."
The dream of being a light spell caster was instantly shattered, and Lin Feng had no choice but to say honestly: "Actually, I think the demon hunter is quite good."
Although he can't wield the swords of this era, he has absolutely no problem using weapons like hand systems.
