Chapter 4 The Official Priest
The mayor didn't think of leaving the town just today.

As early as a week ago, he had already organized a group of people to go into the fog to investigate.

The entire team of 20 people lost all sound after entering the fog, as if they were swallowed by the tumbling gray fog.

Until this afternoon, the Death Squad, which he thought had been wiped out, suddenly appeared a survivor who escaped from the gray mist.

Before he had time to leave any news, the man died in front of him on the spot, with a terrified expression on his face before he died.

The gray mist has changed very obviously these days, and it seems to be much more active than before, plus the dead people that have appeared in the past few days.

After thinking twice, he rushed to the church overnight to discuss the evacuation plan.

Seeing the back of the mayor gradually disappearing, the priest turned his head to look at Ryan and said in surprise: "When did you become a full-fledged priest?"

Although it is an interrogative sentence, it is an affirmative tone.

"So I wasn't an official pastor before?" Ryan was taken aback.

Ryan has no memory of his previous life. After waking up through time travel, apart from being able to understand the language here, he can judge his identity entirely by the clothes and environment on his body.

Unexpectedly, his predecessor was not an official pastor, which surprised him a little.

Seeing that Ryan was silent, the priest thought he had acquiesced.

"Under normal circumstances, trainee pastors have to pray in the church for more than three years, until their spiritual power is tempered enough to have a certain chance of awakening."

"You have been a trainee priest for less than half a year, right? You have successfully awakened in such a short period of time."

"Such a terrifying talent is very rare even in the entire Diocese of Girvin."

"It seems that I have been underestimating you before." The priest looked at Ryan with some deep meaning. "With your talent, you shouldn't have come to this small town."

The cultivation of a magician mainly relies on tempering one's mental strength.

And the easiest way to temper one's spiritual power is to exercise through continuous casting of spells and other methods.

A trainee priest is not really a magician.

Although they can release magic, they have not yet awakened. Even if they have spell models, their mental power cannot communicate with the elements.

Therefore, trainee priests need to spend a long time tempering their spiritual power through prayer and spellcasting.

Generally speaking, this time is at least three years or more.

Moreover, those who can become trainee priests have already been screened.

Confirm that there is a certain possibility of awakening before you have the opportunity to enter the church.

"Half a year? It's only been a month since I traveled to the present." Ryan shook his head silently in his heart.

Although he didn't know the talents of the other trainee priests, it was clearly written on the system's panel that his elemental affinity was only 30%.

This number is not high in any case. Fortunately, the system helped him awaken while analyzing the purification technique.

The next day, in front of the church.

After preparing the evacuation team, the mayor nodded to Ryan and the priest, and waved after confirming that there was no problem.

"set off!"

The priest and the mayor led the way at the front of the team, while Ryan hung far behind the tail of the team.

The road directly in front of the church is the main road connecting Luyin Town with the outside world. Although it is not the closest, it is the fastest road.

After getting ready, Ryan followed the team step by step towards the living gray mist.

The moment it entered the gray fog, the temperature plummeted.

The temperature in early spring is already low, and once it enters the gray fog, it seems to have returned to the cold winter a few months ago.

"It's so quiet." Ryan frowned slightly.

Except for the footsteps of everyone in the gray fog, there was no other sound, as if the gray fog would swallow up the sound.

The weird atmosphere made everyone lower their footsteps subconsciously.

As the distance deepened, the visibility in the gray fog became lower and lower, from the original visibility of more than ten meters to less than three meters without knowing it.

What is the concept of three meters?
The ceiling height of the lobby of an ordinary hotel is about [-] meters. Standing in the lobby and looking up at the ceiling, the distance is almost the visibility of Ryan with the naked eye.

Three meters away, the gray fog completely blocked his vision.

"The visibility is too low." Ryan thought to himself.

With such a poor field of vision, if an enemy suddenly appeared from the gray fog, the time left for him to react was very short.

Speechless all the way.

More than ten minutes later, there was a faint scream from the front team.

"Have you been attacked?" Ryan's complexion changed slightly, and he subconsciously began to build a spell model in his mind.

rustling!

Suddenly there was a slight sound on the left side of the road, and a black figure suddenly sprang out from the bushes.

Ryan had already made preparations. The moment he vaguely saw the shadow, he decisively used his mental power to communicate with the external elements.

The elements echoed the spell models he had already constructed.

A white light full of holy breath condensed in Ryan's hand at the same time.

Purification!
"Sizzling." The light of the purification technique hit the black shadow and made a sizzling sound, like a hot oil pan.

After a few breaths, the black shadow shattered into many bones and fell to the ground with a "crash".

[karma +1]

After Sombra was killed, the system's mechanical notification sounded in his ears at the same time.

"This, this is." After seeing the bones on the ground clearly, Ryan's pupils shrank slightly.

Sombra is not a monster at all, but a skeleton!
Ryan had seen the clothes on the skeleton before. They were the clothes worn by the townspeople who disappeared into the mist before!
Could this skeleton be the townsman who entered the mist before?

Swish!
Swish!
Before Ryan had time to check whether there were any clues on the skeleton, there was another dense "rustling" sound from the bushes on the side.

Listening to this voice, there is obviously more than one enemy!
Accompanied by the screams from the team in front, one skeleton after another emerged from the gray mist. Although the original appearance of the skeletons could not be seen from the skeletons, they were more or less wearing some of the clothes they had before they died.

Most of these skeletons are the missing residents of Luyin Town!

"It is impossible for a skeleton to produce mutations out of thin air. There must be a necromancer behind the scenes."

"It seems that the appearance of gray fog is not an accident at all, but someone is eyeing Luyin Town." Ryan thought to himself.

There are not many records about necromancers in the church's classics, but there are basically no good comments.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case, the guy behind the gray mist is probably taking the entire Luyin Town as prey!

"Even if your body rots, your soul will be immortal. Go to the Lord's kingdom of heaven with peace of mind." Ryan sighed and prayed softly for these skeletons.

But he probably also guessed that the souls of these people may have been wiped out long ago.

Sighs are sighs, but Ryan's hands didn't stop.

　Sorry, I had a fever when I got home yesterday.
