Chapter 254: Priest Equipment
Borrow something?
Lin Ya blinked her sky-blue beautiful eyes, glanced at me, showing a questioning gaze. Seeing me shake my head, she turned towards Akara.
"I didn't expect our family would have anything that catches Lady Akara's eye. Lord, please just say the word. As long as it's within my authority, there's nothing I won't comply with." This little girl, I haven't seen her for a while, but her diplomatic language has become much more skilled, truly giving the feeling of someone changing greatly in a short time.
"Girls truly change greatly as they grow up. Thinking back then, I even changed your diapers." Looking at Lin Ya's sweet smiling face, Akara sighed sincerely. Without waiting for her to lower her head, blushing deeply, she continued speaking.
"It's like this, I, this Old Woman, want to borrow a few pieces of Priest Equipment from your Warehouse."
"Priest Equipment? That's certainly no problem, but..."
Lin Ya looked at me again, showing a troubled expression: "Could it be you are planning...?"
"No, no, that's still far off. As for the reason, this Old Woman isn't very convenient to speak about it. If you really want to know, just ask Wu."
I didn't expect Akara would actually turn the focus onto me. Facing the questioning meaning transmitted from Lin Ya's clear eyes, for a moment I didn't know where to start, and could only laugh awkwardly.
"If it must be kept secret, it's okay not to say it, please don't mind." A trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes as Lin Ya said this, then she heavily turned her Head away, her pink, pouty cherry lips pursing.
Uh, do you look like you "don't mind"? If you're going to lie, please make your words and actions consistent.
Without waiting for me to speak and explain, Lin Ya stood up: "Please, two Lords, follow me."
"Does Lin Ya also know about the Cleric matter?" Following behind Lin Ya, I softly asked beside Akara's ear. Listening to her tone just now, it seemed she already knew about the Rogue Encampment secretly training Clerics.
"That's right. To research and train Clerics, it cannot be done without the help of the Edward Family." Akara nodded. Afraid of making me, this Elder, sad, she added: "However, not many people know. Because Lin Ya is the designated heir of the Edward Family, she has this Qualification."
Following Lin Ya through a few Small Courtyards, finally, the three of us arrived at a Small Study. Although it seemed ordinary, everywhere here revealed an Atmosphere of strict vigilance. It seemed countless pairs of eyes were watching us from the Surroundings.
Under my curious Gaze, Lin Ya came beside the small Bookshelf on the side of the Study Room. She pulled out a few Books from the center of the third row of the Bookshelf, then lightly pressed on the smooth bottom that was revealed. Silently, a small door rose up beside it.
Truly surprising, not just because of this Mechanism, but because the seemingly innocent and shy, timid and weak Lin Ya actually hid so many Secrets deep in her heart.
"Please come in, both of you." Turning her Head back, looking at me, who was slightly showing a surprised expression, and the calm and composed Akara, Lin Ya said softly and shyly.
"Forget it. I, this Old Woman, won't go in. The matter of choosing Equipment will be left to Wu." Just as we took a step, Akara unexpectedly stated her position.
"Eh—?" Surprised, she covered her lips with her small hand. Lin Ya stared blankly at Akara for a moment. Then she didn't know what she was thinking wildly about, her pretty face gradually turned red, and her Chin was almost touching the space between her prominent twin peaks.
I looked at the dim Secret Room Entrance, then looked speechlessly at the smiling Akara. I said, are you expecting something? You're expecting something to happen between Lin Ya and me inside, right?
Leaving behind Akara, who was harboring who knows what crooked thoughts, Lin Ya and I silently stepped into the dim and narrow Stone Stairs trail, with a Distance of over a meter between us. The Atmosphere was filled with awkwardness and unease, and I didn't know how to start speaking. I thought Lin Ya ahead of me probably felt the same way.
"Tap, tap—" In the quiet and dim Stairs, the Voice of our Footsteps echoed. That Voice, without rhythm yet constantly repeating, made people feel flustered and uneasy, feeling empty inside, and the Feeling was extremely awkward.
"Lin Ya..." Silently watching the small Back View ahead. Just as I was about to speak, Lin Ya suddenly turned her Head back and said softly.
"We've arrived."
"Eh—?" I glanced around. Only then did I realize we had reached the Stairs End. In Front, however, was blocked by a huge Stone Wall carved with a Magic Array. Lin Ya stopped at the foot of the Wall, her small hand pressing the center of the Magic Array, while softly chanting. After a moment, the huge Stone Wall emitted a rumbling Voice, opening up from the center outwards.
Walking inside, my Line of Sight suddenly widened. This was a Secret Room about a hundred square meters in size. Bright Magic Lamps illuminated the place perfectly. Many Bookshelves were placed close to the Wall, and there were dozens of large Wooden Boxes. Each Wooden Box was carved with complex Magic Runes, and just by looking, it felt like they were filled with priceless things.
Lin Ya's Movement did not stop. Instead, she walked In Front of one of the Treasure Chests, and with effort, moved it aside. Then her small hand pressed below and she continued chanting Incantations.
"Clatter—" Just as I was watching her Movement, on the smooth Stone Wall beside us, a Secret Door unexpectedly flipped open. Tsk tsk, this level of secrecy Effort, as expected, it truly lives up to being a great Family that has been passed down for ten thousand years.
"..."
The Secret Door had just risen, and dazzling Glow burst forth from inside. The originally bright Secret Room seemed to dim considerably under that dazzling Glow. At that instant, I was immersed in great Shock. After all, I had been in Diablo for three years and could be considered to have seen some of the world. Therefore, this extremely intense Glow, I dare to guarantee, was absolutely not from Magic Lamps, but truly and certainly Equipment Glow. My Heaven! Even the Divine Artifact in my hands—Tal Rasha's Wrappings—could not emit such intense Glow.
Seeing my Dumbfounded Appearance, Lin Ya, who had been secretly pouting, finally pursed her lips and Smiled: "Very surprised, right? When I first saw it, I couldn't close my Eyes for a full three days."
Unconsciously following behind Lin Ya, I finally squinted my Eyes and walked inside. Guess what I saw?
A sea of Equipment!!
Hundreds, no, perhaps thousands of pieces, tempting Blue ones, Golden and sparkling ones. Even Emerald Green ones, Unique ones, countless pieces of Equipment piled together, countless Glows merged into one, forming a dazzling radiance even more intense than a Divine Artifact.
"These are the Priest Equipment accumulated by our Family over tens of thousands of years. Unfortunately, they have been piled up here for thousands of years, possessing Excellent Grade Stats, yet no one can use them." Lin Ya's faint Tone came from beside me, seeming to also feel regret for these Equipment that had met their end like heroes.
"When I heard Akara say she wanted to borrow these Equipment, I was really happy, thinking they could finally see the light of day again. What a pity..."
Composing myself, I Reluctantly recovered from this intense Shock: "Don't worry, one day they will be able to display their Strength again. There will definitely be such a day."
Looking at the unhappy Lin Ya, I couldn't help but gently stroke her dark green Hair Strands.
"There will definitely be such a day... right?" Muttering in her mouth, Lin Ya suddenly came back to her senses. Finding my hand was on her Head, she couldn't help but instantly blush deeply, as if smoke was about to come out. Hehe, her shy personality hasn't changed a Single Point.
"Fan..." "Big Brother Wu, come over quickly, I'll show you my favorite piece." After cheering up, Lin Ya excitedly pulled my hand. Akara wasn't here, and the way she addressed me also became more intimate.
Saying this, she picked out a Book from the pile of sparkling Equipment. Her face was full of the excitement of a child getting their favorite toy, and the pair of fullness on her chest also trembled violently with her excitement, making one wonder if the tight Clothes would burst open because of it. With great difficulty, I moved my Gaze from her chest to her hand. Good heavens. It was actually a Dark Gold Grade Priest Book.

What is Tal Rasha's Guardianship worth? After witnessing this top-tier Unique Item, I finally realized that perhaps the Bugged Small Charm I had always relied on, its Stats weren't necessarily that overpowered. It was just the lack of Level Requirement that was astonishing. Look at this Book, All Priest Skills +5, Demon Slaying Skills +2. Then Holy Shield +3. Exorcism is even overpowered to +5, and there's a 2x Smite Success Rate. Calculating everything together, not to mention other things, Holy Shield alone increased by 10 Skill Levels, Exorcism increased by 12 Levels, and there's + All Stats, +40% Mana Cap, +40% Cast Speed...
OMG! At this moment, the complexity of my Mood was truly beyond words.
Seeing my Dumbfounded Appearance, Lin Ya Smiled even happier, like a child showing off Treasure to a friend. She continued to dig out a snow-white Robe from the pile of Equipment. It was Unique again...

Forget it, I've had enough, I don't want to express any more feelings...
"What a pity, I don't have the Priest Aptitude." Taking these two pieces of Equipment from my hand, Lin Ya sighed, feeling quite lost. As the heir of a Priest Family, yet not having the Priest Aptitude to become a Cleric, it was only natural for her to be frustrated.
"Silly girl, isn't it great that you're a Wizard?" I lightly flicked her smooth forehead, earning a shy yet somewhat playful Gaze in return.
"Of course, I'm not saying being a Wizard is bad, it's just that with so much Priest Equipment, I can't use it myself. It's such a pity."
"What kind of thing are you saying? Striving with your own hands, isn't that more Meaningful? Also, don't rely too much on Equipment, your own Strength is the most important."
"Big Brother Wu, your Tone sounds like a grandma."
"Asking for a beating."
"Hehe..., Ah~~ Don't!"
Our playful Voices kept coming from the Secret Room. The awkward Atmosphere when we just came in also disappeared without a trace because of this Opportunity.
"I say, Lin Ya, aren't you curious why Akara wanted me to choose?"
Looking around. A Priest Book in my left hand, a Robe in my right hand, while looking for things suitable for myself, I asked Lin Ya, who was silently standing behind me.
"This is Big Brother Wu's Secret, it probably shouldn't be casually told to 'others', right?" Look. As soon as this Matter was mentioned, the gentle little Lin Ya pouted again, emphasizing the words "others" particularly heavily.
"Hehe, are you angry?" I turned my Head back, looking at Lin Ya, whose eyebrows were furrowed into a frown.
"No, I'm not." Her small mouth pouted even more.
"Come, come, lean your ear closer." I Smiled and beckoned to her, saying that Secrets shouldn't be casually told to others, but her constantly moving Pace towards me faithfully revealed the Master's inner thoughts.
Finally, Lin Ya still "Reluctantly" leaned her ear closer. A faint virgin Fragrance entered my nose with it, and that round earlobe near her temple, within reach. It made one unable to resist wanting to hold it in their mouth, slowly sucking on the Maiden's sweet Aura.
Resisting the inner desire, I whispered beside her ear for a long time. Her Expression became more and more surprised, and by the end of it, she looked at me with a face full of awe and admiration.
"Big Brother Wu is truly amazing."
"It's nothing amazing, this is all God's Merit." I replied faintly. Being able to use Skills from other Classes has nothing to do with so-called Effort and Sweat. It's just the Merit of the guy who pulled me into the Dark World.
"Talent is also a type of Ability. If Big Brother Wu says it like that, wouldn't all Geniuses feel ashamed?" Lin Ya tightly clenched her Fist, looked at me with a serious face and said: "In my heart, Big Brother Wu is the most amazing."
After speaking, she lowered her Head, her face flushed, under my burning Gaze: "But, is it really okay to tell me such an important Secret? I..."
"Aren't we Friends?" I pretended to be angry and Interrupted her words: "At first, it was just because Akara spoke too suddenly, and my Brain couldn't react for a moment. It wasn't that I wanted to hide it from you."
"But, I, Big Brother Wu, I..." Lin Ya kept fiddling with the corner of her Clothes, her large beautiful Eyes occasionally glanced at me, then immediately looked away.
"I'll Help too." In the end, she still swallowed back the words she wanted to say. She Smiled sweetly at me, and that sweetness from her heart truly intoxicated me for a while.
Lin Ya is truly worthy of being the heir of the Edward Family. Even if she isn't a Cleric, her Vision is also rarely matched by others. Combining with my own situation, those with too high Level Requirements, and those "+n Priest Skills", "+n Blessing (Healing, Demon Slaying) Skills" are useless to me. Only adding specific Skills, such as "+1 Healing", etc., can be effective. Finally, Lin Ya carried a pile of Equipment taller than herself and placed it In Front of me.
"I say, Lin Ya, there's no need to be so exaggerated, right?" I really didn't want to dampen the enthusiastic Lin Ya, but, for example, this Robe with a Level Requirement of 49, it wouldn't be too late to come and get it a few years later, right?
