203 The Power of Sacred Ligh (1/2)
Sherlock arranged for Beast to stay in an empty cave, then he assigned the gamers to build a house for him.
The Sacred Light Worshiping Chapel would be built later. It was mentioned to give the gamers an idea. It would depend on Sherlock as to when the chapel was built.
While Sherlock was making the arrangements, Bru was speaking excitedly in Sherlock's mind, but Sherlock ignored him. When Sherlock returned to the Dungeon Core Main Hall, Bru said, ”Lord Sherlock, this is too dangerous. Why did you open up the Grand Priest profession? If the Power of Sacred Light is discovered by the other Dungeons, they'll use it as a reason to revoke your Devil's status.”
Sherlock sat down and said, ”I'm not the one using the Power of Sacred Light, why do they want to revoke my Devil's status? There will be 10,000 gamers during the Third Beta Testing. If all of them use Mana for combat, won't I be exhausted? Isn't it better to let some gamers use the Power of Sacred Light?”
”This sounds reasonable, but using Sacred Light in the Underworld is prohibited.”
”It's the same principle as humans being tempted by Devils and selling their souls. I'm merely letting them use the Power of the Holy Lord or the Power of Sacred Light. They don't have to sell their souls. They'll pray together with Beast and make confessions to the Lord and Angels. I feel that it's pretty good.”
Sherlock said, ”This will enrich the gameplay, and I'm able to add a profession without spending money. Didn't the gamers complain of being sick of Magicians, Warriors, and Archers on the forum? Being a Grand Priest is pretty good.”
”Tsk, you don't look like a Devil, but after pondering, you're such a Devil,” Bru said thoughtfully.
”What is Lord Sherlock's plan for developing the Grand Priest profession? Do you want to make an announcement on the official website?”
”That is a definite. As for the development of the Grand Priest…”
Sherlock said, ”I'll have to find a few laboratory rats. We'll see.”
…
Beast was bewildered as he sat in the cave.
A few days ago, he was still in Winterfell, awaiting the arrangements of his father-in-law. Today, he was in Winterfell and chatted with Lord Sherlock, after which, he was arranged to stay in an empty cave. Sherlock even said, ”Are you a Grand Priest? Are you interested in developing the Power of Sacred Light in my Dungeon?”
What was that? A Devil asking him to develop Sacred Light in his Dungeon?
It was like hearing that Sherlock intended to kill himself.
That was Sacred Light!
If he spread the Gospel of Sacred Light, would other creatures agree?
When Beast was doubting whether Sherlock was fooling him, numerous Goblins, Gnomes, and Houndhead Men with green words above their heads stood outside the cave. They were looking at him as though he was an animal in the zoo.
Beast didn't feel that he was a caged animal in the zoo, he was just troubled whether Sherlock was fooling him.
The group of creatures quickly dispersed, shouting as they left.
”Gosh! Only a hundred places for the first batch?”
”Let's excavate quickly!”
”Don't compete with me! I'll take over the project for that space! I'll kill whoever competes with me!”
Half of the creatures ran off, though a few Goblin stood like fools while gaping at Beast.
Beast didn't like to be watched. There were many of them before, so he had kept quiet, but now, there were only a few of them. As an Orc, he stood up and walked over.
”Roar—!”
Beast roared at the Goblins, thinking his roar was rather imposing and could intimidate them.
The Goblins were taken aback by the roar and started talking.
”Gosh, it gave me a fright. Why is the NPC scaring us?”
”Let's go, there's no more Plot Animation, I guess.”
After being scared by Beast, the last few Goblins ran off.
