Transmigrated into a fallen priest, Mark clutches the Forbidden Scripture that would make a saint’s face turn black in his left hand, and a cross blessed by the Abyss in his right.
When the...
Although he didn't know why Oak and his companions provoked a wolf pack composed of magical beasts, Mark heard that Oak took the initiative to lead the wolf pack away in order to save his companions. He still hoped that the sunny and cheerful boy would not really encounter any danger.
If they really meet Oak, they will definitely lend a helping hand to him.
Perhaps in the eyes of Beta and the others, Mark is just a priest who has just entered the second level and has special talents in holy light purification.
Even if he came to a place like Osborne Town to train, he would probably only be able to join a more powerful adventure group as a combat assistant.
Beta has always been so polite to Mark and the others, naturally he also wants to recruit them into his adventure team.
A Holy Light professional and a powerful assassin. These were the perfect pieces for him to fill the gaps in the adventure group's professions.
However, Beta had no idea that Mark, who had experienced such a grand scene as the Blood Crystal Mine, really didn't take the pack of only a dozen or so ghost wolves seriously.
Let him be an assistant?
It doesn't exist!
Although his professional skills do seem to make him an alternative dad.
But who says dads can’t output?!
Let’s not talk about Mark and Beta’s respective psychological activities.
When they arrived at the northwest gate of Osborne Town, they heard a loud commotion at the entrance of the town.
Mark could faintly hear some bad-tempered adventurers outside the city gate shouting things like "Kill them!" and "Even if we don't complete this mission today, we will destroy them."
When the group entered the city gate, they found that four teams of people were blocking the gate of Osborne Town.
Another team of fully armed adventurers set up roadblocks outside the city gate to stop everyone in the gate and prevent them from leaving.
The ones who uttered the angry curses were the adventurers who were trapped in the doorway.
However, they were cursing each other enthusiastically, but no one took action and rushed forward.
Monica suddenly pressed down on Mark's shoulder. Her second class, Shadow Assassin's night vision, allowed her to easily see the situation in the dark.
"It's One-Eyed Papi's men. They've set up a roadblock at the town gate. They're all third-level professionals."
As if to confirm her words, the cast iron wheels rubbed against the bluestone slabs, making a sharp scream.
The one-eyed man with gold teeth sneered through the night:
"My friends, everyone wants to take this quest, but there's only one. I, Pappy, am not unreasonable. Each adventure group will receive 5 gold coins. You are eligible to take this rescue mission, or you can wait until daybreak to set off."
"Damn you, One-Eyed Pappy! The mission deadline is three hours away when daybreak comes. Are you kidding us?"
"Hey! I'm just teasing you guys! Don't you want to chop me? Come on! I'm blocking this place today, let's see who dares to chop me!"
One-eyed Pabbi snorted arrogantly, and as he spoke he actually stood in front of the barricades, as if he was not afraid of the adventure teams in front of him at all.
"It's said that One-Eyed Pabbi is from the Mountain Tiger Bandits. Normally, no one wants to mess with him. But he's standing guard at the city gate so brazenly now, at night. No adventure group would dare to gather or linger near the gate when the garrison is on duty at daybreak."
Beta whispered in Mark's ear.
Perhaps noticing the newcomer appearing behind the adventurer group, Pabbie squinted his single eye for a moment before sneering, "Who's here? Big Talker Beta, no, Iron Man Beta now, and the little priest! What? You think you can take the 150 gold quest reward?"
"Did the people who left this city gate before also pay?" Mark looked at Papi and asked in confusion.
If he remembered correctly, there seemed to be fourth-level adventurers in the other adventure teams of Chunhui Hotel. If this Pabbi dared to accept their money, then he really had to consider the strength of One-Eyed Parker and the Mountain Tiger Bandits.
"What's your business whether others pay or not?" Pappy shouted coldly. "I'm making this clear today: other adventure groups only need 5 gold coins to go there, but Beta's adventure group wants to pay 50 gold coins!"
Mark and Monica looked at each other and shook their heads speechlessly.
Then Mark waved his hand and signaled Beta and others to follow him on horseback.
The eight-man cavalry team came straight to Pappy. Mark grabbed the reins and pointed at Pappy, revealing his "Cleric" class profile. He turned to the other four teams of adventurers who were shrinking back and said,
"Everyone, I am Mark Stu, a clergyman of the Holy Monastery of the Papal States. The pagan One-Eyed Parker is now plotting to murder members of the church. Please help me capture and kill this heretic. One day, I will ask the bishop of the Dragon Slaying City Diocese to award you with the Holy Light Honor Badge!"
If Pappy used the power of the Mountain Tiger Bandits to scare the adventure groups in front of him, then the panel that Mark showed at this time was to crush Pappy with absolute religious rule!
It’s possible to impersonate a member of the Mountain Tiger Bandits, but no one can impersonate a clergyman of the Holy Light Church.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a profession that belongs exclusively to the Church of Holy Light, just like the Holy Knight, Holy Light Priest and other professions.
"You...you can't frame me!"
Pabbi's face was also filled with astonishment. He just wanted to stop some people and make a small profit from tolls, but this damn lackey of the Holy Light Church actually wanted to label him a heretic!
"Oh!"
Mark pulled out a white magic book from his arms and pretended to recite a spell.
In Pabbi's eyes, the magic book was clearly the holy book that every "devils" in the Holy Light Church's Judgment Hall had a copy of!
It is said that wherever the people from the Judgment Hall passed by, as long as they took out the holy scriptures and read out the heretics' crimes to them, the targeted people would be branded with the Holy Light, and they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Holy Knights no matter where they went!
Although the Court of Arbitration has not taken action in the major kingdoms for a long time, no one dares to underestimate any church member of the Court of Arbitration.
"No, just go! I'll let you pass!"
Papi, who was so arrogant just now, now looked like a miserable stray dog. He took the initiative to drive his carriage and pull away the barricades blocking the city gate.
Mark sneered, glanced at Pappy, and said, "You can go find the leader of your Mountain Tiger Bandits to cause trouble for me. I'll be waiting for you! Let's go!"
As Mark waved the reins, Monica and the six members of the Beta Adventure Group kicked their horses and followed Mark out of the city gate towards the Warcraft Mountains.
The other four adventure groups followed closely and left Osborne Town.
One-eyed Pabbi and his adventure team looked like defeated wild dogs, watching the other adventure teams leave with embarrassed expressions.
It was not until Mark and the others walked away that the guy made a throat-cutting gesture in the direction they were leaving, his eyes full of murderous intent.
