The Only Righteous Priest Chapter 5

After leaving the ossuary and returning to the church, Adrian's stern face finally relaxed and was replaced by an ecstatic smile.

"I thought I couldn't gain Justice points by talking to the succubus alone, but I didn't expect this guy to be fooled by me."

There are usually few people in the church, except on Sundays when believers come to mass and confess, and Adrian can find an opportunity to say a word or two for justice. He doesn't have the chance to speak at other times.

Now that he can obtain justice points from the succubus, Adrian must definitely start the stable wool-pulling mode!

In addition, the system prompts that the mission [Tragic Death of a Family] is completed.

Adrian investigated the truth and killed the Ethan Evil to avenge the three people.

'Receive award!'

Adrian muttered to himself, and then saw the prompt pop up again on the system interface.

[Randomly obtain the priest's level 1 spell "Hidden Mist", 500 Exp]

Concealing Mist?

Adrian had a complicated expression on his face.

The priest has so many level 1 spells, many of which are useful, but he had to use "Concealing Mist" instead of anything else.

What is the use of this thing?

Summoning a thick fog to surround yourself does look pretty cool when you walk, but that's all.

"I haven't acquired any new spells yet, so I'll just use Concealing Mist!"

Now that the "Illumination Technique" has reached the maximum level, and there is nothing more to add, Adrian immediately invested all the 1,000 justice points he had earned into the "Concealing Mist Technique".

["Hidden Mist" upgrades from lv1 to lv5, consuming a total of 600 Justice points. Do you want to upgrade? Yes/No]

yes!

Adrian couldn't help but curl his lips. 600 justice points were enough to upgrade to level 5. It seemed that he would have to increase his output against the succubus in the next few days.

After upgrading the "Hidden Mist Technique" to level 5, Adrian tried to release it.

When the spell "Surrounded by hidden fog, I am one with the fog" was recited, a thick fog emerged from Adrian's body and spread rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, almost filling up half of the church.

The diameter is as much as two hundred meters, and the density is so strong that you can barely see one or two meters in front of you, and everything is chaos farther away.

Fortunately, the caster himself is not restricted by the field of vision of the Concealing Mist spell and can clearly see the surrounding situation through the thick fog.

"Good fellow, if this is upgraded to the maximum level, wouldn't it be able to directly cover a standard playground?"

Adrian vaguely felt that this 'Hidden Mist Technique' was not as useless as it seemed.

Because of its limited use, few priests would learn this skill, let alone delve into it in depth to improve their proficiency.

"This [Illumination Technique] can accomplish extraordinary feats, and [Hidden Mist Technique] may also work."

Besides, Adrian doesn't have any other skills, and the justice points won't earn any interest if he keeps them, so what else can he do with them if not use them to strengthen the [Hidden Mist Technique]?

Now the interrogation is complete, and the system task rewards and skill upgrades have also been completed.

Adrian finally had time to come to Gould's headless body.

The body was placed in a coffin and placed next to the outdoor altar behind the church.

Adrian had no intention of restraining himself.

As expected, when he woke up, Captain Edward came with a commendation certificate to claim the body.

But before that, Adrian had to collect the spoils.

Gould channeled his magical energy through a twisted wand, but because he had cast too many dark and evil spells, the entire wand was shrouded in an evil aura.

If this thing enters the market, it will only create another evil spellcaster, so Adrian plans to destroy it.

Adrian fumbled around on the corpse and took out the secret sacrificial technique that led Gould to his doom from the pocket inside his robe.

He took off an emerald ring from his finger, and took out thirty gold coins and an exquisitely shaped, finger-sized, eight-sided transparent bottle from his pocket.

These were all the possessions Gould had.

After Adrian's identification, this emerald ring contained weak energy that could slightly increase intelligence and charm, making it a relatively valuable item.

If this thing is put on the market, it can be sold for at least a hundred gold coins.

It went into Adrian's pocket along with thirty gold coins.

Without the official bonus, he is not allowed to be self-reliant and make up for it!

The last item is an eight-sided transparent bottle that looks like a work of art.

It is small and compact, emitting bursts of magical power.

As soon as I unscrewed the cap of the empty bottle, a faint fragrance emanated from it.

This is an inert gas that does not react with substances and is specifically used for isolation and preservation.

Adrian also realized that Gould was using the bottle in his hand to extract the souls of the three believers, and then took them away from the scene to perform a ceremony.

In addition to storing souls, it can also be used to collect some energies and substances that are difficult to preserve.

This thing is priceless and can be considered a true "priceless treasure".

"I don't know how this guy got lucky enough to get this thing."

"It's good stuff, but it's mine now!"

After collecting the spoils, Adrian returned to the church and made the sign of the cross over the bodies of the three believers: "The Lord has avenged his believers, you may rest in peace, and may your souls rest in peace."

After finishing all this, Adrian returned to his living room in the backyard of the church.

After washing up, he did not turn off the lights to rest. Instead, he sat at the head of the bed. In the light of the gas lamp, he picked up the leather notebook and pen on the bedside and wrote something down.

It was so quiet outside that even the cicadas took a rest and stopped chirping.

The only sound in the room was the rustling of pens on notebook pages.

Since Adrian traveled to another world, he developed the habit of writing a diary every day.

Although eighty to ninety percent of the content of this diary is about "nothing to do today, so just let it go", the mass and confession on every Sunday are still worth noting.

[July 9, windy and slightly cool. After sending off the believers at the mass, during the confession session, the souls of three believers came to the confessional one after another. I noticed something was wrong, so I investigated with the police station, but unexpectedly discovered a long-planned conspiracy. Although I have always been a supporter of lying down, when a believer gave his life for this, I still couldn't face my heart calmly.

Now, I have avenged their family of three, and I hope their souls in heaven can rest in peace.

What happened tonight also made me realize that even in the remote areas of the empire, evil and darkness will take the opportunity to spread. These sparsely populated and defenseless places are obviously more favored by evil. I have already collected the secret art of sacrifice, and once the reinforcements arrive, I will report the news and ask for credit.

I hope that this achievement will allow me to be promoted and return to work in a church in a big city...】

The next day, Adrian was awakened by a knock on the door outside the church.

When Adrian got up and dressed, he came to the church gate and saw quite a few people.

The leader was Captain Edward, who was smiling and said excitedly, "Pastor Bai, I have reported your feat yesterday. Today, the mayor and the Oliver Clerk are here to commend you in person!"

Adrian glanced at the ruddy-faced George Mayor beside Captain Edward and felt a headache coming on.

The mayor is ambitious and likes publicity. He has been pestered today, so I'm afraid he will get some "affectionate" from him.

Then look at the Oliver Clerk standing next to the mayor. He is winking at Adrian and flirting with him, as if he is saying something with his eyes.

Oh my god, this is even more of a headache for Adrian...
