All conditions are ready!
He reached out, took it and looked down…
[Neva ?? Fao Manuscripts]
Special Item
Use: Acquire skill: Commandnt ?? Shield; Activate/Complete the job quest – Regulation Priest
Quest conditions: [Carry out twenty critical treatnts 0/20], [Devoted Prayers 0/20], [Apply Commandnt ?? Shield to an ally 0/30], [Priest level 2/15], [Holy Light knowledge level 1/7]
Reward: Obtain the job [Regulation Priest]
[Note: This manuscript was left behind by Neva ?? Fao during his lifeti.
Mr.
Fao was an ordinary, kind-hearted person with little ambition and a low-level taste.
He lived an unexceptional life without any outstanding achievents or faults… so there’s not much to be said about him.]
What’s the point of saying that much when there’s nothing substantial to be said!
Are you nuts!!
Motan was roaring inwardly, seemingly, Mr.
Fao’s mundane life had dealt him a blow…
But if you dismiss his previous farfetched…
speculation, this item is actually not bad.
After all, players can have multiple jobs in the ga [Realm of Innocence], and it’s obvious that it has its benefits if Motan, who started with the Priest job, can get another job from the sa series but with a different direction.
For the simplest example, if a player who mainly majors in the Warrior job gets the Mage job by sheer chance, then he will have a hard ti learning many skills that require high intelligence, unless he painstakingly levels up his Mage level.
But if he does that, his strength is likely to lag…
So in the initial to mid-phase of the ga, having a variety of jobs doesn’t necessarily an you’re more powerful.
Not every bald guy calls himself Kratos, not every professional player is an umbrella (complete) specialist.
What’s more, so jobs don’t increase attributes across the board after leveling up.
Instead, they even deduct existing attribute points.
After all, Mages with powerful magic generally aren’t very strong, and Rangers who can disappear without a trace are often not strong n…
Of course, we’re talking about the general cases… just general cases…
There will always be so unreasonable people in this world, and there’s no helping it ~
Er, we got sidetracked for quite a while.
Let’s get back to our previous topic.
Although in view of Motan’s current level and knowledge about Holy Light, it seems unrealistic to complete the job quest in a short ti, but it doesn’t necessarily an it’s without any imdiate benefit.
At least, he could imdiately learn a skill…
[Commandnt??Shield]
Holy Light School Active Skill
Prerequisite: Holy Light Knowledge Level 1
Consumption/Restriction: 20 Faith Points
Effect: Creates an absorption shield on the target that is not affected by any attribute, absorbs a small amount of damage, and reduces all damage received by the target by 5%.
Duration: 30 seconds, cooldown ti: 30 seconds.
[Note: Go!
Warrior, go and endure more damage for !
In the na of the Goddess, get out there and take a beating!]
Compared to the two support skills that Motan has already mastered, this damage absorption shield with only 30 seconds of cooldown ti is obviously cost-effective.
“Thank you so much.
I will take good care of it.” After storing Fao’s notes in his bag, Motan expressed his gratitude to the old priest.
“If there cos a day when I have fully understood it, I will return it to you.”
The old priest stroked his white wool beard and smiled, “The Goddess guides you to seek power, and it just so happens that I have a manuscript of the Divine Arts left by the archbishop during his lifeti.
I think all this is arranged by destiny.”
That’s the nice thing about dealing with believers.
No matter what happens, they can always explain everything with phrases like ‘Guidance of the Goddess’ or ‘Destiny’s Arrangent’, never being too serious.
(PS: Please do not get any ideas about throwing your boyfriend/girlfriend into the church to live for a while.
The author has nothing to do with any extre consequences caused by this behavior.)
The two spent so more ti talking about the wondrous Goddess and then Motan received a string of ssages from Double Leaf.
The gist of the ssages was if he was online, he should return to the station at once as there seed to be little trouble.
It was still early, not yet the ti for Motan to change accounts as planned, so he hastily said goodbye to the old priest, sent a reply to Double Leaf, and rushed back to the camp as soon as possible.
Before even reaching the base, Motan noticed a rather tense atmosphere.
The autonomous army soldiers, who were usually scarce, suddenly seed more nurous, and everyone’s faces were grim…
Walking briskly for a while, he quickly saw Fenrir’s team mbers, all gathered around Ned, chattering animatedly about sothing.
Double Leaf stood a bit further away and imdiately waved at Motan as soon as she spotted him, then turned to say sothing to Ned.
“Finally, you’re here,” Ned strode over and nodded at Motan: “Ergency mission.
The Spark team, which was on patrol today, has not returned to report yet.
The higher-ups have ordered all teams to search at the fastest speed.
We are responsible for the area southwest of Stacked Rock City.
Get ready to move out.”
Yinna, who had accompanied him, rolled her eyes and mumbled, “I don’t know what the people ‘above’ are thinking.
It’s just a routine patrol that’s a bit late, they’re making such a big fuss about it…”
“Exactly.” Sara, the Lizardman martial monk, chid in while slipping his hands into his gloves, “Maybe, they just went out for a drink and to slack off a bit.
What a complete waste of my ti.”
Krabu, on the other hand, seed rather excited as he swung his heavy-looking axe and enthused, “It wouldn’t be too bad if we run into so trouble, it’d give us a chance to stretch a bit!”
“If you jinx it again…” Ned glared at him, seemingly quite serious, “I’ll ‘stretch’ you first.”
Krabu imdiately backed down.
He’d occasionally argue with Sara, but he never ssed with Ned.
He seed to fear him.
“When Krabu and Sara first arrived, they picked a fight,” Yinna whispered in Motan’s ear.
“The captain beat them both up, and since then they’ve been well-behaved.”
Motan realized what was going on, their respect seed to be based on brute strength…
“Alright, now that Hei Fan is here, let’s not waste any more ti,” Ned said gravely.
“I find the order from above a bit puzzling too.
But since we’re being paid by them and living on their land, when it’s ti to work, we work.
Let’s head out.”
And so, their group embarked on their mission in an incredibly…scattered, casual manner.
Motan noticed that at least three or four squads were heading in roughly the sa direction as them, and even more squads were heading due west and south, all with a clear purpose in mind.
“Looks like this ergency situation is within the prediction of those ‘above’.” Double Leaf sohow ended up beside Motan and murmured, “It’s too obvious.”
Motan shrugged and asked, “What exactly is the situation?”
“It’s just what the captain just ntioned.” Double Leaf adjusted her glasses, spread her hands and said, “I was notified while wandering around the Mage Guild, and then I imdiately asked you to co.
Fortunately, you were online.”
“Yeah, I’ve been pretty busy lately…”
The pair chatted sporadically as their squad left Stacked Rock City and began exploring the northwest.
Geographically, this seed to be the edge of the Marshal Territory.
Being a non-official road with little trade, it was fairly deserted, with only a few pedestrians to be seen.
Of course, it may have been called a search, but it was mostly just them walking and chatting.
After all, no one really anticipated that the patrol squad could’ve run into trouble.
Even Ned seed to adopt a ntality of wanting to finish the tour quickly and report back, and began to yawn.
However, it’s always at tis like these when things tend to go wrong.
For example…
“Help!!”
Bang!!
Ned, quick as lightning, kicked Krabu several ters away, cursing, “Your damn mouth should be sewn shut!
Everyone on alert, prepare for rescue!!”
Whoosh!
A fist-sized fireball rose from Double Leaf’s palm, followed by an elliptical halo appearing next to her.
Looking back, Motan had just cast a fortitude prayer on Ned.
The glow from his fingertips lit up the dull landscape under the setting sun.
“Everyone, be careful.”
