"Shield!" Along with a soft command in the courtyard of Granger's house, an egg-shaped holy light enveloped Hermione's entire body.
Power Word·Shield.
One of the most basic and commonly used spells for priests.
Infuse the power of the Holy Light into yourself or your teammates to form a barrier to resist all external attacks.
The specific defensive effect depends on the strength of the priest.
But generally speaking, as long as this spell can be released, it can block a small-caliber pistol bullet at the very least.
Just after Hermione released the Power Word shield, John, who was standing opposite her, shot out a beam of holy light with just one finger, instantly breaking Hermione's shield.
"You did a great job. It's probably as strong as a level 6 body armor. Congratulations, you're almost as good as a low-level priest!" John didn't criticize Hermione because he easily broke through her shield. Instead, he praised them greatly because the two sides were not opponents at the same level at all.
If converted to the level in the game, a low-level priest would be around level 20, a mid-level priest would be around level 40, and a high-level priest would be around level 60.
But high-level is not the end, there are heroes and legends above.
However, the latter two levels are basically difficult to evaluate using numerical values.
As for what will happen next, John is not very sure, because he has not reached that level yet.
As a novice, it only took Hermione more than a month to reach the level of a low-level priest. Even if it was because John opened the back door to the other party, she was extremely talented.
As for why Hermione was trained to be a priest instead of a paladin.
The reason is also very simple. The priest only needs to pray, meditate, continuously accumulate the power of holy light, and learn spells.
Paladins are much more rigorous and require physical training and martial arts training, which is obviously not suitable for a little girl like Hermione.
Not to mention Hermione, even among the ascetic monks in the church, there is only one who can fully withstand the training of the paladin, and the remaining few are all priests.
And compared to the Holy Light spells of priests, many of the Holy Light spells of Paladins do require quality requirements, which are the so-called eight virtues of knights. It is true that Holy Light is pure energy without a position, but for Holy Light, Paladins The application method has resulted in this profession having quality requirements, and the two do not conflict.
Because apart from some of the more basic abilities of Holy Light, many of its expanded abilities actually display their effects in the way and form that the user most expects.
The Paladin is such an advanced Holy Light profession.
Take a more distinctive spell of the Paladin as an example: Blessing of Sacrifice.
You can connect your soul to your teammates to a certain extent, and bear part of the damage on behalf of your teammates.
This clearly requires the user to have the consciousness and quality to dare to sacrifice in order to achieve this effect.
If the paladin who uses this spell does not really possess this quality, what is released can only be an ordinary blessing that increases a small amount of protection.
And this is also the most different point between Paladins and Priests, apart from their fighting methods.
This is also a completely different point between the real Paladin and the game.
This also leads to the fact that the number of real paladins in the source world is actually very small, and they cannot master all virtues and abilities.
As for the so-called paladin groups such as the Knights of the Silver Hand and the Scarlet Crusade that we often hear about, in fact, most of them are just warriors who can use some basic holy light skills to fight.
In contrast, most of the priest's spells are relatively basic spells that utilize the basic properties of the Holy Light, such as healing, protection, and damage.
As for John himself...he is a cheater and obviously cannot be included in the normal ranks.
Of course, if it were Hermione, if she followed the path of a paladin, she might also be able to realize a few virtues.
But as one of his own, John obviously didn't want her to take that rough and bumpy road.
"Really? That's great. To be honest, I feel that Holy Light is much easier to use than magic, unlike magic that requires a wand!" Hermione said happily to John's compliment.
"That's just because you're not yet proficient in magic. In fact, even highly skilled wizards can cast spells without a wand, but in most cases it's not necessary!" Hearing that Hermione meant to belittle magic, she said John corrected himself.
Although his main strength comes from the Holy Light, it does not mean that he will underestimate magic.
"Why?" Hermione was puzzled.
"Why do you have to use three points of force when you can obviously do something with just one point of strength? And don't you think that using a wand all the time when you can cast spells without a wand is also a reflection of your own strength? Is this a cover-up?" John stated calmly.
"I understand. If someone thinks that you have lost your ability to cast spells when you lose your wand, and relax your vigilance when you don't have a wand... why does it sound a bit sinister?" Hermione was very smart and thought of the key. .
"This is not insidious, but combat wisdom...and what you said before is also wrong. The Holy Light spell does not require a magic wand. It is just to train you. I didn't let you use a magic wand. In fact, an excellent The magic wand or staff can also achieve the effect of amplifying Holy Light spells and reducing consumption, which is no different from magic - of course, because the energy used is different, the required wand materials are also different." John explained.
"Wand?" Hermione decisively captured this word which was different from wand.
"Yes, the staff is a weapon used by magicians that appears in novels written by ordinary people... In essence, it is not much different from the magic wand, except that the magic wand has a greater amplification effect, and the material The requirements are higher and there are more, and the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, they are larger, heavier, and expensive." John explained, "In fact, wizards in the Middle Ages, such as the famous Merlin, also used staffs, but with the changes of the times, , the cost-effectiveness of the wand has been decreasing, and not many people use it. After all, although the growth rate of the wand is several times that of the wand, the material of one wand is enough to make dozens of wands."
"I see... But if I want a wand of Holy Light, where should I buy it?" Hermione sighed, and then asked somewhat sadly, but while sighing, the pair of gentle But his little deer eyes kept glancing at John.
"Haha, little slippery man, I've already prepared it for you!" Upon seeing this, John laughed and cursed, and then threw a small cloth bag to the other party.
Hermione excitedly took the bag and found that it was another bag with the Traceless Extension Charm. In the bag, there was not only a wand that exuded holy light, but also a staff that was much taller than her. .
"Wait, a guest is coming!" Just when Hermione was about to say something happily, John gave her a wink and said.
Upon seeing this, Hermione immediately put the bag away calmly.
Then John lifted the barrier in the Granger's yard - the Granger's house was only in the suburbs, not in the wilderness. Of course, John couldn't really teach Hermione in a public environment, so he had to set up a trap. Enchantment.
As the barrier disappeared, an owl that was circling confusedly in mid-air immediately found its target and rushed down towards Hermione.
But it was Hermione's Hogwarts notice that arrived!
