Chapter 174: The Role of the Candidate Saint

"Stand there, don't move, and do it carefully!"

Alice, who was more dazzling and energetic than ever, smiled coquettishly and said to me who was confused.

"..."

Standing aside as Alice said, I looked at the interested little ghost in front of me with strange eyes.

"Hey……"

Alice stood upright a few meters away from me, closed her eyes seriously, put her hands on her chest in a prayer gesture, and in an instant, a bright but not dazzling light slowly shone in her hands.

When the light stopped increasing, she took a deep breath, and gently pushed her hand that exuded dazzling light outward. Following her movements, a transparent wall made of light erupted from her body in all directions.

It spread out and extended to a distance of more than ten meters.

Of course, this wall of light also touched my body, but its real effect did not seem to be as spectacular as the visual effect. I just felt as if a warm breeze was blowing gently, waiting for the wall of light to penetrate my body.

I no longer feel anything. There is no change in attributes, skills, or resistance.

"Hmph, how's it going——? It's pretty awesome!!"

Seeing me looking at her body in surprise, Alice couldn't help but said happily. Her little nose turned up slightly, and the end of her words turned up cutely. Her proud look made people feel a little pitiful.

"Idiot, don't you have nothing? Don't waste energy casually."

Facing Alice, who was wagging her tail to claim credit for herself, I mercilessly grabbed both sides of her face and pulled her out.

"Who is it? It's like strangling, but it's easy to do harm to the benefit... Wow~~~ (Who said this, this is a very powerful skill, Wow~~~)"

Alice, who had a cute little face pulled by me, responded vaguely.

"Oh, what's the use of that?"

I let go of Alice and said with interest.

"Exorcism!"

As soon as she let go of her hand, two words that were so frank and infuriating came out of her little mouth.

"..."

"Snapped--"

"Wow!!"

I slapped Alice mercilessly, and continued to rub that wonderful face with my hands while she let out a short exclamation.

"So I'm a devil, that's good."

"Oh~~ He seems to be dead... (Oh~~ It's not like this)" Alice whined in confusion with a sad face.

"So, can you tell me what's going on? Why do you have this skill called 'Jimo'?" After letting go of his hand with satisfaction,

"It's an exorcism."

Alice rubbed her numb face resentfully and whispered.

"Ahem, but you finally noticed this most critical issue."

After coughing a few times, Alice tapped her index finger, feeling proud, "Boy, you finally have an epiphany."

"Actually, it's not a 'big deal'. It's really not a 'big deal'! It's just that before the invasion of hell, she was once regarded as a 'candidate' saint. Of course, there is nothing 'terrific' about this. It's just a matter of time.

It’s just a few people selected from millions of girls. Uh-huh..."

She gently shook her fingertips, and her plump breasts under the simple white robe slightly puffed up, and she narrated in a tone that seemed to be normal. Of course, if there was anything different from usual, it would be 'big deal'

The words "amazing", "millions" and "several people" have a slightly higher pitch. The ear test should exceed 80 decibels, while the "substitute" sounds like only 20 decibels at most. It is indeed a few songs.

The monster ghost of the Thousand-Year Song. The tone of voice is so high and low, but it can be said so naturally.

"Ah, it's really nothing special."

I replied nonchalantly while fixing my nails, echoing Alice's literal anticipation.

"Woo~~"

The cold reaction caught Alice off guard. She pursed her lips, blinked her silver eyes a few times, and looked at me with a pitiful look, as if she didn't know how to continue her words.

"Okay, okay, then explain to me. What does your skill have to do with the 'candidate' saint?"

Seeing Alice's pitiful look, I couldn't bear to reach out my right hand and smooth her long moon-colored hair.

"Humph——" She seemed dissatisfied that the topic of her 'candidate' saint was brought up in just one sentence. She let out a slight sigh from her nose, but she still answered my question immediately.

"Because if you want to become a candidate saint, the requirements are very strict. First of all, you must have at least the strength of a priest apprentice."

"So you were originally a priest's apprentice?"

I raised my voice in surprise.

"wrong."

Alice worked hard to lift her little nose: "That's just the minimum requirement. I'm a real first-level priest."

After Alice’s explanation, I understood that in her time, the division of professions was not as detailed as it is now. The priest apprentices at that time were probably equal to the students in the Rogge training camp today. The first-level priests represented 1-12

Level 1, that is, a priest who has mastered the first-level skills. By analogy, the second-level priest is level 12-24, up to the fifth-level priest, which is equivalent to level 60 or above. In addition, there are many priests who are similar to the current seven majors.

Different professions, such as priest upgrade, in addition to killing monsters, you can also gain experience by treating diseases and providing assistance, etc.

"The effect of the exorcism just now is actually similar to the Holy Light Bullet of the Paladin. It only works on undead or demons."

"Where's the harm?" I asked the most critical question.

"Well...a little, a little. The main effect is to push away the surrounding monsters."

Alice tilted her head to avoid my expectant gaze, her eyes wandered, and she answered vaguely.

"Can it heal friendly troops like Holy Light Bomb?" I asked my second question.

"This, it seems impossible..."

Alice's head tilted a little further, making me wonder if she might have sprained her arrogant white swan-like neck.

"..."

"No wonder the profession of pastor has been lost in history. I seem to understand."

"Don't say that. The main function of a priest is to treat illnesses and provide assistance. It's really too difficult to fight." Alice retorted unwillingly.

"That's why they were eliminated as professions that lacked combat effectiveness."

My decisive tone immediately left Alice speechless. She could only look at me with malicious eyes from the side, as if an astute boxer was constantly looking for the opponent's flaws.

"Besides exorcism, are there any other skills at level one? Don't tell me it's just this one."

I asked in a tone that said I wouldn't be surprised if there was only one.

"Damn it, don't underestimate the priest. Of course there can't be only one. In addition to exorcism, there are also healing and detoxification techniques."

Alice stared at me with troubled eyes.

A level 1 healing technique that instantly increases the target's health by 25 points.

Level 1 detoxification technique instantly removes poison damage from the opponent. It also increases the opponent's toxin resistance by 20% for 1 minute.

The healing technique is okay, after all, it is instantaneous, and the cooling time is relatively short. As for the detoxification technique, I can only say that it is not as effective as even a bottle of detoxification potion...

However, I suddenly noticed the most important thing.

"Ah!! You little ghost, you just tried to use healing or detoxification techniques, but you chose to exorcise them. Did you really imagine me as a monster?" I approached Alice fiercely and placed ten fingers on her.

There was a slow movement in front of him.

"Please...please don't misunderstand my good intentions, I...I just want to purify your mind." Alice replied in a panic.

"Does that mean my heart is filthy? It's even more unforgivable!" Without further ado, I began to continue the great cause of "bullying" the saint...

"Ugh~~ It's a shame that I went out of my way to reveal my identity as a candidate saint. It's useless at all. You, a bad guy, don't take me seriously at all, and you still tease me in such a shameful way."

After the fun, Alice twisted her body unwillingly in my arms, exhaled a little fragrance, and muttered in frustration.

It turns out that this little ghost specially emphasized her identity as a saint, just hoping that I would not bully her in such a shameful way. Looking at the innocent little saint in my arms, I couldn't help but feel pity and love, but... I don't want to bully her because of this.

She. That's absolutely impossible, there's no way. Alice has a temperament that can inspire other people's training instincts.

"Who said being a saint is useless?" I retorted, pinching her cheek.

"..."

Alice raised her head and looked at me speechlessly, the look on her face seemed to say, look where your hands are now, what's the use?

"Wouldn't it be more fulfilling to bully someone?" I answered naturally.

"Wow! It's counterproductive." Alice exclaimed in her signature style.

"hey-hey……"

I stopped talking and moved my lips to cover the face that was raised from my arms, capturing the two delicate lips and playing with them fiercely.

"How about it, noble saint, you are being bullied by men right now."

After a long time, I reluctantly let go of Alice, and said affectionately to her ear with my lips.

"Ugh~~Perverted Demon~~Big Obscene Demon~~"

In contrast, Alice's hot breath hit my ears. With my eyes closed, I could still imagine her blushing face and troubled expression at this moment. This little ghost that makes people love and want to bully, if not

The time and place are wrong, I really want to eat her now.

"Okay, that's it. Since you also have a profession, you can probably use some equipment."

After bullying Alice hard, I got to the point.

After careful inquiry, I found out that Alice's current priest level is only level four, which is the result of her practicing in the cathedral for a period of time. Otherwise, this purdah lady who only knows how to read books would still be a bachelor.

"Let me find something you can use."

I frowned and began to fiddle with my piled up messy inventory. Speaking of which, all the low-level and useless equipment in the past had been handed over to Qia Xi, and now most of the equipment that was revealed could not be used by Alice. I wanted to find one.

It's really not easy to find something suitable for her.

While I was looking for something, Alice, who had recovered, sat aside and looked at me calmly as I rummaged through the inventory while sweating profusely. A warm smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and her silver eyes trembled slightly.

I don't know what I'm thinking about.

After a long time, I finally gathered together a set of equipment that can be worn at level 4, including a piece of equipment that slipped through the net at the bottom of the inventory - a blue cloth armor with added mana properties, a white hat, and a necklace.

I thought about it again and again, and finally felt that the lizard's agility necklace that added mana and agility was more suitable. I just had four rings, and they were not good in terms of attributes. Just pick two at random. Shoes and

The gloves are all whiteboard, there is nothing I can do, it’s not that I don’t have better ones, it’s just that her level is low, and secondly, she can think of it even without using her brain, with the power of a priest...

In addition, there are some potions, and even teleportation scrolls and identification scrolls. Although these seem to be of little use to her, they are still mobile storage boxes after all, so she should share them with me...

"Huh? That's weird, why hasn't it changed?"

After Alice put on a complete outfit, I found that her appearance had not changed at all, and she was still wearing a white robe that was so simple that it was a bit revealing.

"Because it's a ghost." Alice said as if it was a matter of course.

Because it's a ghost? It's really a universal explanation. I have a dark look on my face.

After Alice confirmed again and again that these equipments were indeed working, before I could say anything else, she suddenly showed a look of pain.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just the first time I replenish energy in this way, and I seem a little uncomfortable with it." Alice laughed while holding back the pain.

"What should I do?" I was running around anxiously, but there was nothing I could do.

"It doesn't matter, but I probably need to have a good sleep." Alice shook her head and gently stroked my face with her hands. The cold touch made me gradually calm down.

"Is it really okay?" I looked into her eyes seriously.

"Absolutely~~ There is no problem. I will not leave you again. I just want to go back in for a while to recuperate."

Alice said in a very sure tone, and then she slowly disappeared in front of me.

"Probably, probably more than one..."

"Alice, Alice..."

The sound stopped in astonishment. I was shocked and picked up the necklace and put it carefully on my ear, but what came from above was a cute purring sound that made me feel at ease but also dumbfounded.
