The Dean Has Arrived

The church in Peak Town is small and dilapidated. It can be seen that the Holy See, which is quite revered in some parts of the mainland, is not welcomed here.

Today is not a day for worship, but the small building is full of people at the moment.

Because of the panic caused by the vampire incident, many believers can only come here to pray, hoping that they and their families will not encounter misfortune.

Wearing a mage's robe and carrying two beautiful lolitas, Xi Wei stood out in the crowd. Not long after they arrived at the Holy See, a priest who was about forty years old, with a full beard and still wearing his mass clothes, found them.

"Hello, Mr. Priest." Xi Wei made a mage ceremony first, and then reported his family: "I am Xi Wei Edric, a traveling mage, and these two are my assistants."

Respect is something that you have to give to others, and others will give it to you—of course, this is not applicable when the two identities are very different.

In other people's territory, proper respect still has to be shown, not to mention that the other party is qualified to wear the mass attire of the officiant. Obviously, he also has a high status in this church. If he wants to obtain information, it is necessary to be polite.

"Hello, Mr. Edric." In front of many believers, a distinguished mage greeted him so politely, which greatly satisfied the vanity of the priest, and a little smile appeared on his originally stern face : "My name is Tony Wesley. Is there anything I can help? The glory of the Lord will certainly not be stingy to shine on friends."

"Actually," Xi Wei lowered his voice and said straight to the point, "I want to inquire about the latest rumor."

Recently, there were only rumors of vampires circulating, and Father Tony immediately understood Xi Wei's meaning.

So he handed over the task of praying after presiding over to the young trainee priest and nun, and led Xi Wei and the others to the confession room at the back of the church.

After all, that kind of thing can't be discussed in public. As a priest and a magician, the meaning of every sentence they say may be distorted by those ignorant civilians, and finally become strange rumors.

Tony didn't want to be sent back to Horadur by the bloody iron-blooded mayor for making rumors and other charges--the salary was second to none, but it was too embarrassing among his peers.

"Then Mr. Wesley, how much do you know about this incident?" Xi Wei asked as soon as he sat down.

The clergy are similar to the civil servants of a certain dynasty. They like to chatter and talk for a long time without mentioning business. Xi Wei didn't have so much time in the United States to chat with him, so he asked simply.

"I have never seen a vampire, but because the mayor doesn't like magicians, and there are some reckless magic swordsmen around him, so two of the found corpses were rescued by my holy magic. Amen, may those two A child's soul can go to heaven." The priest said and wiped his eyes, but there were no tears: "But I believe that as a knowledgeable magician, Mr. Edric, you should also understand that there are many reasons for the formation of walking corpses. , not only vampires can cause it."

"Really? But Father Wesley, you should be very clear about the characteristics of the walking corpses made by vampires, right?" Xi Wei raised his eyebrows. He was talking about the bite marks on the necks of the walking corpses, although Ordinary people may not be able to see it, but a priest who is proficient in light attribute magic should be able to detect the wound with a trace of evil power.

Then his eyes fell on a small bottle of pure water-like liquid on the confessional table: "At least I don't think ordinary walking corpses can make a church disregard tradition and place holy water in the confessional."

The confession room, also known as the confession hall, is a place for believers to confess their sins to the clergy, repent in front of the statue of the Lord, and swear to correct their sins in order to obtain forgiveness.

This kind of place does not need anything other than a chair and a cross or a statue of a god, but at this moment, apart from the extra table and the beautifully shaped crystal bottle containing holy water, there are many unique things that are unique to the Holy See in the confessional. Special weapons against evil creatures—such as a silver short sword decorated with solemn decorations on the wall.

Even the cross, usually made of oak, placed opposite the chair, was gilded with silver.

"The Lord taught us not to take our guard lightly in the face of potential enemies." The priest who had been exposed by Xi Wei calmly faced Alisa's somewhat contemptuous gaze and said without changing his face.

In any case, Xi Wei's goal of confirming whether vampires really existed or were just rumors had been achieved.

Just when Tony thought that the magician, who looked very young and was not easy to fool at all, was about to leave, Xi Wei picked up the bottle of holy water on the table and shook it, then raised his head and asked him, "So what?" One question, could Mr. Wesley sell me some holy water?"

☆

As a result, after some bargaining, Xi Wei exchanged two broken elemental crystals for seven bottles of props that were marked by the system as [Diluted Inferior Holy Water].

You know, this is the first time Xi Wei has seen something with attributes in the real world - even his predecessor's wand, which can increase the casting speed by a little bit, doesn't have this treatment.

And the introduction of this holy water also stated that it has a harmful effect on dark, undead, and shadow creatures. Although there is still some debate in the academic circles whether vampires are undead or demons (generally recognized as undead), but regardless of that What exactly does the thing belong to? This kind of holy water can obviously cause damage to it, which is still very useful to Xi Wei.

But when he walked out of the confession room, his originally slightly joyful mood immediately sank down.

The atmosphere outside was even more gloomy than before. The townspeople lost their smiles, and worries were written all over their weather-beaten cheeks. Even the naughty children seemed to feel the heavy heart of the adults. Hold the adult's hand carefully without making a fuss.

Alisa also lost her usual smile, her brows were tightly wrinkled, and Tiou was already attached to Xi Wei's leg. Xi Wei could even feel her slender body trembling slightly.

The extreme dullness shrouded the church as if the chest was pressed by a heavy object, and it was an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere.

Xi Wei sighed, and called up the magic book page of the academy system - the certificate of the strong that he got last time was useless because he really didn't know which magic to order.

"Anyway, there are still many copies, so it shouldn't matter if you spend a little extravagance." He said in his heart.

Then, after a little hesitation, he used the certificate of the strong to activate the 'halo of devotion' in the light magic.

In addition to quickly calming down the surrounding allies and alleviating bad moods such as fear and anxiety, this range-type magic only has a slight bonus effect when meditating. It is the second-ring magic that Xi Wei is least optimistic about. But at this moment, he activated the magic, and opened up the halo to the maximum in one breath.

Immediately, the people around all turned their attention to Xi Wei. Although they couldn't see the halo of piety, it didn't prevent them from having an inexplicable sense of recognition and dependence on Xi Wei—as if as long as he was still around, he would Nothing to be afraid of.

Unexpectedly, the effect would be like this. Xi Wei froze for a moment. Under the gaze of nearly a hundred pairs of eyes, his head became hot, and he said seriously: "The townspeople of Bike Town and the residents around Bike Town, please rest assured. Back and forth to return to the usual routine. I, the magician Xi Wei Edric swore an oath here, and I will definitely solve this incident!"

After the speech, there was a wave of applause.
