Chapter 179: Chapter 115: Curse! Contaminate the Sword of the King_2

"Unfortunately, after being suppressed by me, the first stage is still in its early stages."

Gu Shanhai, drawing on his prior research on curses and the data he currently possessed, also arrived at corresponding conclusions.

"Next, the marks of cloud, thunder, and forest provide me with all-round resistance, negative resistance, and Transcendent resistance which to some extent help me resist the erosion of curses, sharply increasing my corresponding resistances. Furthermore, the mark of earth enhances my immunity and further blocks the erosion of the curse."

"However, it’s interesting to say that the adaptive enhancement of the earth mark seems to slowly acclimate me to the power of this curse."

"Regrettably, the power of the earth mark is limited. If I had all twenty-three marks and were in the High Magic Era, maybe after a thousand or eight hundred years, I could truly reach some sort of symbiosis with this curse without harm."

Regarding his own situation, Gu Shanhai also drew several bizarre conclusions.

"Yo~" Little White abruptly stopped, its expression seeming cautious.

Gu Shanhai looked up and saw a priest in a pristine white robe blocking the road; the priest’s robe was extremely luxurious, adorned with various jewels.

Priests are a profession exclusive to nobles. A Knight might still be a commoner promoted through serving as a knight’s squire or by being knighted, but priests are only nobles, hence many priests wear garishly lavish attire.

"The great Lord has decreed, you have committed a severe transgression, commoner!" As soon as the priest began to speak, his tone was filled with arrogance.

This was typical. Priests are God’s shepherds on earth, tending to the whole world on God’s behalf, which meant they considered themselves above everyone else, and being nobles, they viewed all acts of mercy as charity.

Merlin, a name of great repute, was also just a wizard and not a priest, despite his faith in God, as he could not obtain a legitimate status within the church.

Merlin might have had noble status, but being a wizard was a stain that excluded him from becoming a priest.

"So soon? It seems you’ve been lying in wait for quite a while." Gu Shanhai was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected to encounter resistance so soon. The power level was a bit disappointing, not even reaching the local maxima, let alone breaking through it. Not all of the new generation are incredible like Sethanda Esohon and Duer Lahan, who are destined to become legendary.

Therefore, this weakling represents the normal level of this world.

The other tried to say something else, but Gu Shanhai slapped Little White’s neck, signaling to charge.

Little White instantly understood Gu Shanhai’s intent and a sparkle appeared in its eyes, good at this as it was.

With a kick of its hooves, the whole deer turned into a blur charging toward the priest.

Charging, Advanced Charging, Strengthened Charging, Forceful Charging, Berserk Charging—Little White utilized a multitude of mount charging skills, then lowered its head, using the hard antlers and the momentum of the charge to launch the person flying.

"..." Gu Shanhai’s expression was exasperated. Little White’s charging skills were a bit too proficient; just now, if he hadn’t reacted quickly, he would have been thrown off the deer’s back.

The priest, caught completely off guard, ended up hanging from a tree. The deformity at his chest area was clear—this charge combined with the impact of the antlers was too fierce, leaving him barely hanging on.

"You... the church is... *hic*" The priest still wanted to say something, but before he could finish, he swallowed his breath and died.

"Would you finish your sentence, what about the church!!!" Gu Shanhai was even more exasperated. Was Little White really so powerful?

Then, recalling Little White’s daily training routines as well as its maintenance, he understood, indeed it was powerful. Placed in the realms of immortals and Fantasy World, Little White’s treatment was on par with that of saints and holy figures, with ample resources and numerous secret techniques. If it couldn’t even kill a person with a charge, it would seem somewhat incompetent.

"Yo~" Little White was very proud as it sought praise from Gu Shanhai, meaning it did a good job, right?

Gu Shanhai could only pat its head, "Not bad, you did well, but don’t get too arrogant. You see, you didn’t kill the person in one go. That means your charge still needs practice; you need to keep working hard, aiming to kill the person in one hit next time."

As for Little White’s performance, it was indeed very good, and Gu Shanhai sincerely praised it, but to prevent the little guy from getting cocky, he still had to reserve some criticism.

As for the dead priest? Gu Shanhai didn’t care about it at all. The opponent started by accusing him of high treason; obviously, they were after his life. It’s best when enemies are dead.

"Yo!" Little White indicated that it would keep up the effort and then continued the journey with Gu Shanhai.

Gu Shanhai began to ponder a new problem—the various abilities he had to shield himself from heaven’s secrets seemed to have failed. Although he had prepared mentally for someone to intercept him, he didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

"No way, does this thing have a tracking ability?" Gu Shanhai suddenly thought of the curse on him. Destiny should not have been able to detect him. Instead, it might track him directly through the curse.

"It seems my journey might not be peaceful..." Gu Shanhai sighed. He didn’t want to have to kill his way through.

That would upset too many people, and killing too excessively wouldn’t look good.

"Signs of a calamity, what should I do?" Gu Shanhai felt his ill-fated star twinkling above his head.

He had performed a Prophetic Divination on himself and the result was Little Ji, implying there was no danger and he might even pick up some goodies.

Now it seemed he had calculated wrongly, and his opponents, obscuring the heavenly secrets, had directly altered the data backstage. That was infuriating.

Still being undetected by the church and yet considering it as a Little Ji fortune was total nonsense.

"I hope a Holy Knight will lead a team to intercept me, I want to study what a Holy Knight is all about." Gu Shanhai guessed that the opponents might either ambush him on the road or wait for his arrival. Of course, given the church’s resources, it was very likely that both tactics would be employed.

"If I had a player’s abilities, imagine the amount of equipment and skills that would drop on my way there, maybe even a quest with enormous rewards."

Gu Shanhai complained. He was fearless. If it were a priest, there could be transcendent beings, but the profession of Holy Knight was only a few years old, mostly youths.

However, speaking of Holy Knights, they are indeed very powerful, not only possessing an array of aura skills but also strong in attack, defense, and support, a veritable meat grinder on the battlefield. It was said that initially, their legacy combined with priests was that of a War Knight.

Their specialty was grand battles.

Holy Knights had high health and defense. In his previous life, in this world, their profession’s popularity was second only to that of a Dragon Vein Druid, a profession that could transform and also assume office through the bloodlines of dragons from other worlds.

The most popular was Dragon Vein Druid, followed by Holy Knight.

Only now, these two professions hadn’t been unearthed like in his past life, mainly because history had changed, everyone went to battlefields, and players were also diverted, so it still needed a certain catalyst to recreate the heyday of the past life.

And Gu Shanhai was very interested in the Holy Knights’ aura skills. If he could expand them into his own mana aura, that would be a huge gain.

But Holy Knights were ultimately a new profession with many imperfections still, yet that did not change the fact that they were an extremely strong profession. Later, there was also the birth of the Mysterious Knight, a combination of Wizard and Knight, which in terms of strength was far inferior to the Holy Knight, whether or not it could be borne in this lifetime was still another matter.

When Druid had fallen, naturally, there was no chance for a special profession combining Druid and Knight to appear, even Morgan’s Green Knight seemed a bit forced.
