Chapter 43 An Exorcist's Oath

Dorian lazily sat before snapping his fingers again.

~Snap.

Two other books left the open wooden box, with one flying towards his men and the other flying towards him.

Good.

With that, the books all opened wide to the pages Dorian wanted them to be.

And as he spoke and prices, costs and why they were charged, the books in the trio's hands flipped from page to page as well.

Firstly, the Hybrid ghost he fought against was a Class 2 one.

With Ghosts, they were ranked from Class 1 to class 9, before reaching The Breeding Class and finally, the deadliest of all, the Humongous Class.

But, one should know that ghosts were weaker than Halos, Ghouls, hell hounds and all the other demonic and evil entities.

Thus, the highest ghost level was nothing compared to how deadly other underworld creatures could be.

And this ranking was only for Ghosts.

Ghosts were the only forms with different danger-ranking systems.

The other underworld creatures followed a different one.

That said, for a Class 2 Hybrid Ghost, there was a standard fee.

Following that, Dorian charged for every talisman he used today... including the ones he used in making the numerous bags of salt sacred.

The use of spell energy, and even the clearing of the seals and markings, all went into the cost.

One should know that Dorian's strength wasn't at his peak, and in truth, he had used a lot of strength to deal with this hybrid ghost.

The thing was that he hadn't fully recovered his strength from last night's event.

And he planned to use an entire day or so to prepare himself.

But this morning, he was already brought in when he was still in his recovery time.

So he had just barely been able to make it.

'Looks like I'll have to increase my strength fast.' he thought while still coming up with the price list.

In all fairness, cultivation was expensive, and the energy used up alone, as well as the materials he would need to get himself back on track, were indeed pricey... like the two-hundred-year-old ginseng and so on.

The punishment for an evil exorcist was Harsh!

Thus, it was better to take the oath to constantly remind oneself to stay on the right path.

Provided one didn't use the powers of the heavens for evil, then things were good.

Of course, mortal strengths like brain power, winning arguments, and self-defence weren't technically okay... So one would just be punished by the heavens as any regular mortal would.

It wouldn't be as harsh as being punished as an evil exorcist.

.

Very fast, Dorian waved his hands, and words began forming on a paper.

He fairly priced and tallied everything up before flicking the paper to Ghu Dwo.

"Here... My price."

Ghu Dwo looked at the price and didn't think much of it.

6 Million!

For all he saw today, he even felt like it was a little cheaper than he was expecting.

But what he didn't know was that if Dorian were stronger, then the price might've been way less costly as well.

Today's event had also taken a toll on Dorian.

Ghu Dwo looked at the price and felt it was just alright.

His wife spent such amounts on bags and clothes alone.

So what more of this?

He even decided to add an extra 4 million as a gift of gratitude, rounding it up to 10 Million.

This gift was also there to establish a friendship with Dorian.

This way, if they needed his help again, he would willingly come over, right?

As a businessman, Ghu Dwo felt like this was a move that he needed to make.

Dorian looked at them and smiled.

Good. Easy clients, easy payment.
