[Chapter 6 Holy Light]

Bringing a bunch of harvest back to the place where he had cut trees before, he saw that Old Buddha was still busy here, but there were already several simply processed woods around.

Old Buddha also gathered the branches and leaves that had been cleared, which were all good firewood and would also be transported back to the village.

“You’re back?” Old Buddha took off his shirt and exposed his powerful muscles: “From the looks of you, are you in trouble?”

David was carrying the corpses of several gray wolves, and his body was stained with mud and grass. It was obvious that he had encountered a pack of wolves and had a fierce battle.

Carrying the axe on his shoulder, Old Buddha looked at David carefully: “Are you injured?”

“I’m lucky, I’m not injured.” If he hadn’t been lucky enough to get the golden finger and then get Crawford’s archery talent, with his original strength, he would definitely be injured or even lose his life.

“Oh!” Lao Fo sighed in surprise. With David’s physical fitness, he was not injured after encountering the wolf pack, and he also killed several gray wolves. It seems that David’s archery skills are very powerful – the wounds on the gray wolf’s body are very obvious, and each gray wolf has more than one arrow wound. Facing multiple targets, being able to hit several arrows on the same target requires not only accurate shooting, but also fast shooting.

Thinking about it, it seems very reasonable. If David didn’t have some strength, he wouldn’t be able to live in this place, let alone become the last person to open up the camp.

“But there will be trouble in the days to come.” Although David’s strength has increased greatly, Lao Fo is also a powerful paladin and is not worried about direct conflicts with the wolf pack, but the wolf pack’s revenge is often day after day, endless, day and night sneak attacks. Even if the two can deal with it, they will feel irritated by being harassed all the time.

Lao Fo certainly knows the habits of wolves. There are also such creatures in the world of Azeroth: “It’s really a trouble!”

But the powerful Lao Fo is not worried. If the wolf pack thinks that he can sneak attack when he is cutting trees, it is a big mistake! Even if Lao Fo stands here and lets the gray wolf bite twice first, it won’t be him who falls in the end.

David, on the other hand, even though he was good at archery, his physical fitness was average. If he was suddenly attacked, he might be in danger.

Thinking of this, Lao Fo made a suggestion that made David very happy: “I have a special power that can help you deal with various troubles better. If you are interested, I can teach you how to master this power… If you can learn to use this power, you don’t have to worry about the gray wolves in the forest.”

David’s previous words may have led the topic to the “holy light”, but his initial plan was to lead the topic, and after Lao Fo mentioned the power of holy light, he would express his desire to learn holy light.

He didn’t think Lao Fo would refuse, because the Church of Holy Light was a very open-minded sect. Under the leadership of Archbishop Alonsus Faol, the priests in the church have been working hard to spread the way of holy light to the entire Azeroth. Basically, if you are willing to learn, they are willing to teach.

Before becoming a paladin, Lao Fo was also a priest in the Church of Holy Light. Spreading doctrines and teaching believers about holy light was his job.

In this case, if David expressed his desire to learn holy light, the possibility of Lao Fo refusing was very low.

Unexpectedly, the development of things was smoother than David expected. Lao Fo took the initiative to offer to teach David the Holy Light.

“Oh? What kind of power is it?”

“It is a kind of righteous power full of warmth and light. It can heal injuries, eliminate diseases, and also allow you to fight against evil… Of course, it is no problem to deal with ordinary beasts.” Holy

Light is one of the basic elements that constitute the world in the world of Azeroth, but it does not mean that there is no “Holy Light” outside that world. After all, the basic element of “light” exists in many worlds.

This kind of energy generally has positive and active attributes. Of course, this does not mean that this kind of power is just. David is very clear about this.

But he will not debate with Lao Fo at this time what the Holy Light is? Quietly be a Holy Light novice, listen to Lao Fo describing the various wonders of Holy Light, and the doctrines of the Holy Light Church that are mixed from time to time.

Through Lao Fo’s explanation, David learned that the Holy Light Church is a group that persuades people to be kind and face life positively, and the pastors in the church will work hard to help people in all kinds of difficulties-from dealing with family disputes to fighting against robbers and bullies, and even fighting against the evil forces in the crisis world.

It is precisely because those who firmly perform good deeds are more likely to gain the recognition of the Holy Light and then master this magical power, so in this period of Azeroth, the Holy Light users (followers) and the messengers of justice are equal.

“After saying so much, you should have a basic understanding of the Holy Light.” The old Buddha said a lot, the most important thing is to let David have a sufficient understanding of the Holy Light, and then he can really teach. After

telling David the way to perceive the Holy Light, the old Buddha was full of uncertainty again: “But I’m not sure if you can perceive the Holy Light… Do you want to try now?”

Now the two of them are not in Azeroth, and he doesn’t know how far away this world is from Azeroth. He is really unsure whether David can master the Holy Light.

He has several guesses about David’s learning of the Holy Light: David has learned the Holy Light slowly after hard work; David has been unable to understand the Holy Light after hard work; David has amazing talent and will soon understand the Holy Light.

No matter which one, he doesn’t think David’s attempt at this time will have any results.

But when David knelt on one knee, straightened his back and put his hands on the knees in front of him, closed his eyes and concentrated on understanding the Holy Light, something that Lao Fo had never expected happened: David’s body slowly emitted a golden light, from the initial imperceptible to gradually clear and bright, and soon he was enveloped by the golden light.

As a paladin, Lao Fo is most familiar with this kind of light.

“How is this possible?”

Not only did David master the Holy Light on his first try, but Lao Fo couldn’t figure out what this scene meant?

Did David understand the Holy Light and bring about the baptism of the Holy Light? But this phenomenon was completely different from what he was familiar with before: no matter whether it was a paladin or a priest, after feeling the holy light, a beam of light would descend from the ‘void’. The priest or paladin bathed in the holy light would be baptized by the holy light and become a follower of the holy light.

The holy light in front of him did not descend from the void, but was emitted from David’s body. Although it was still very weak and not strong, the old Buddha would never make a mistake. The

old Buddha, who seemed to be drowned in question marks, could not think of a reasonable explanation for the scene in front of him. Could it be that David in front of him was actually the incarnation of the holy light?

“Holy light, is this a test for me?”

The old Buddha seriously doubted that he had come to this world in a daze and met such a special existence as David in front of him. In fact, the holy light was testing himself to see if his belief in the holy light was still firm enough.

At this time, David, who had his eyes closed, did not know that the old Buddha had been stunned by the shock. He was still immersed in the joy of successfully mastering the magical power of the holy light.

David, who didn’t know how special his situation was, immediately felt the holy light slowly emerging from his body after closing his eyes and following the method taught by the old Buddha. It felt like a hot spring had emerged from deep inside his body, and then the warm current slowly flowed through his body, and the places it flowed through seemed to be washed by the warm current, making him feel extremely comfortable all over.

“This feeling is even more comfortable than taking a bath or getting a massage!”

Not only did the fatigue on his body disappear, David felt as if his body had been reborn, because all the discomfort left by the experience of the past two years disappeared, and even his strength seemed to have increased; at the same time, his brain became clearer, and his spirit was unusually excited. All these changes made David “enjoy” for a long time before he opened his eyes again.

“Old Buddha, what’s wrong with you?”

“No, nothing!” Old Buddha did not say anything about David’s ‘abnormality’. He felt that he now had more reasons to settle here: “I just didn’t expect that you could feel the Holy Light so quickly. Few people can do this.”

This reply was not perfunctory. There were many priests in the Church of Holy Light, and many paladins of the Silver Hand were also trained, but most people had to undergo strict teaching and training before they could feel the Holy Light. Only a very small number of people could immediately gain the favor of the Holy Light when they chose to step into the path of Holy Light.

“Really? It seems that I have a good talent in this area.” When saying this, David immediately realized what the reward he got from Old Buddha was: Holy Light talent!

He was very self-aware. He didn’t think that the power that countless heroes in the world of Azeroth could not master immediately, but he could master it immediately after listening to Old Buddha’s explanation. The only reasonable explanation was that his golden finger was meritorious.

“This is not just as simple as good.” Old Buddha sighed. Next, he did not rush to teach David how to use the power of Holy Light, but carefully asked David about his feelings, such as whether he had any special feelings after feeling the Holy Light?

“I feel that some of my minor ailments have disappeared, and it seems that my strength has also increased? It seems that my spirit has become better…”

Listening to David’s description, Lao Fo roughly determined that David was mastering the Holy Light. Except for the slightly different scene he just saw, there was no difference between it and the Holy Light he used.

“Not only that, because of the protection of the Holy Light, you can carry out more rigorous physical training, which will greatly improve your physical fitness.” For the time being, there was no abnormality. Lao Fo was ready to teach David how to use the Holy Light according to the normal process: “As for whether to focus on the use of the Holy Light? Or to hone your body and learn the use of various weapons, it depends on your personal interest.”
