The thing that I had pulled out was Durand.
The mont that it was pulled out, the priest imdiately realized what it was since he could feel the evil energy that was coming from it.
But I didn't put it away as I said, "There's sothing strange that happened with this cursed sword and I need your help to figure out what happened."
The priest looked at with a strange look when he heard this, but after a mont to gather his thoughts, he cald down and said, "Alright, tell what happened."
I gave a nod before telling him the story of how I obtained Durand and what happened when I grabbed hold of it.
"So in the end, the light disappeared and I have no idea what happened. However, when I used the sword, it didn't seem to curse at all, so I can tell that sothing must have changed with the sword."
The priest knitted his brows when he heard this before standing up and saying, "Move back and let take a look."
I stood up as well and gave the priest space to look at Durand on the table.
Before he started looking over Durand, the priest pulled out a cross from inside of his chest pocket and raised it up with one hand. He pointed this cross at Durand and started muttering sothing, as if he was trying to purify it.
There was a faint white light that appeared around the cross, but it quickly disappeared.
When it did, the priest couldn't help revealing a strange look.
Taking another mont to gather himself, the priest moved closer to Durand and started walking around the coffee table it was on. The way that he circled it made it seem like he was investigating it from every angle.
It was as if he was trying to find sothing about this sword.
But in the end, he gave a sigh like he wasn't able to see anything and sat back down.
When he sat down, I couldn't help asking, "Is sothing wrong?"
The priest didn't say anything at first as he kept looking at Durand on the table, but then he slowly said, "It isn't as if there's sothing wrong, it's just that…it's a very strange reaction."
I was even more confused when I heard the priest say this.
The priest knew that what he had said was confusing, so he added, "The feeling of this sword is completely different. There is still dark energy contained within this cursed sword, but it feels like there's sothing…that's suppressing it. This thing suppressing it almost feels holy."
Slowly the expression on my face changed as I realized sothing.
"Then you're saying that this sword is…"
The priest didn't say anything, but he did give a slow nod as if confirming what I was thinking.
I looked back down at Durand with a strange look.
After a long period of silence, I finally asked, "But how does sothing like this happen?"
The priest finally looked up after hearing this question, but he didn't look at . Instead, his eyes went to the Mark of God that was on my hand.
I looked down at the Mark of God as well when I saw him looking at it.
After a bit of silence, the priest said, "It can only be considered the work of god."
This didn't really explain anything, but at the sa ti…this could be considered an answer.
After all, it was the power of the Mark of God that had changed Durand like this.
It seed that sohow the Mark of God had purified the dark energy of Durand, suppressing the curse that ca with it. That was why I didn't feel the pain of using Durand when I cut down that elf.
But would the Mark of God have this kind of power?
And what other powers would it have?
I couldn't help looking at the priest with a strange look, but he just shook his head.
After all, this was the first ti that he was seeing it in real life.
Even if he had heard about the Mark of God before, it had rarely ever appeared in this world and was sothing that was considered a myth.
So seeing it for the first ti really was sothing else.
The priest really didn't know how to react to this other than with awe and excitent.
Seeing this look on the priest's face, I could guess most of this…but I did want to know more about this thing.
Since it could do this, I was very curious about what else I could do with this Mark of God in the future.
After all, the more that I could do with it, the better it was for .
The more trump cards that I had, the safer I would be.
So I said, "Is there any way to figure out what kind of powers this Mark of God has?"
The priest's eyes suddenly lit up as if he was already expecting this.
It even seed like he had been waiting for to say this.
He imdiately stood up and leaned over the table to grab my shoulders before saying, "My lord, if you wish to learn more about this, then I will do all that I can to support you."
I revealed a bitter smile as I could guess what he wanted to do, but I also had so conditions.
"I want to learn a bit more about your religion, so can you teach ?"
The priest's eyes lit up even more when he heard this.
He had only been planning on examining the Mark of God with the count, but he never thought that he would also be asked to teach.
The privilege of being able to teach one that had the Mark of God, that was sothing that no one else had ever been given.
So of course he imdiately nodded in agreent.
Seeing this, I also nodded before saying, "Then let's do our best."
