Chapter 80: The Saintess (4)
When Vikir first came to the barracks where only seriously ill patients were gathered, the priests' reaction was as follows.
"This is no place for a layman."
"You could be infected, get out now!"
"Help? We don't need it, you're in the way!"
But when Vikir began walking among the patients and blessing them, the priests' expressions changed.
"That's not how you bless."
Vikir said to the priest who was using holy power on a red spot on a patient's leg.
In general, a priest's primary ability is to pray to a God to receive a share of his power and to use it to recreate some of the heavenly phenomena on earth.
In its simplest form, the priest asks the god to share his power, the god accepts and sends the power, and the priest receives the power to heal the patient.
If the patient also believes in the same God, the priest's request for power from the God becomes a kind of guarantee, and the healing effect is amplified.
In short, more divine power is available to the same believer.
