Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

"It's the task of purifying the dead..." Luo Xiu pondered.

Indeed, as a "clergyman" of the Church of Glory, purifying monsters such as ghosts and dead spirits can be said to be commonplace.

However, for Luo Xiu, who is still an apprentice priest, this is somewhat difficult.

In the game "God's Destiny", "dead spirit" monsters are mostly a collection of resentment, which is a kind of evil spirit that is difficult to kill by conventional means. For many novice players, it is quite tricky!

However, this is not the most troublesome part for Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu frowned slightly. Whenever he was lost in thought, he always habitually tapped the table with his fingers.

"Dawn Town..." Luo Xiu murmured.

"Where can I find dead spirit monsters!"

...

Suddenly, an evil idea emerged in Luo Xiu's mind.

Why not just...

Let "Dawn Town" become "Dusk Town"...

With this evil thought, Luo Xiu felt that his mind was slightly shaken.

So he stretched out his palms and slapped his face heavily!

——Snap! Snap!

Two crisp sounds, accompanied by the pain, Luo Xiu regained consciousness all of a sudden.

"That was close... That was close..." Luo Xiu was scared.

Even though Luo Xiu thought he was rational and had a correct outlook, there were still many evil thoughts in his heart.

What just made him waver was the evil thoughts that were "magnified" in a specific situation...

This is one of the dangers and costs of embracing the power of the abyss!

The abyss is pervasive. Once there is a crack in reason or emotion, the abyss may invade at any time and devour the soul of the person who embraces the power of the abyss, making him a part of the "abyss" mother body.

This is also one of the reasons why Luo Xiu did not choose "abyss" as his first destiny, but must take "glory" as the main reason.

After sighing, the long priest robe in the fireplace fire had burned to ashes.

After sweeping out these ashes mixed with charcoal ash and dealing with them cleanly, Luo Xiu went to bed until about three in the morning.

He had a hunch that the "holy judges" of the Songyuan District where Dawn Town was located would soon receive reports of "the corpses of pagans on the streets" and come to Dawn Town to investigate the bodies of "Maurice" and "Fold".

This was also a troublesome matter that required a response plan to be prepared in advance...

Luo Xiu was thinking hazily while gradually falling asleep.

...

On July 19, 767 of the Apocalypse Calendar, before the dawn.

Endless darkness still enveloped the sky.

The Nolan Empire was adjacent to the dark principality known as the "hometown of criminals", also known as the "principality of thieves".

The underground of "Fafnir City", known as the "deserted city".

In a huge, natural cave, many dense ditches were dug by humans.

These intricate ditches were carrying scarlet blood, flowing and converging into the huge hole in the center, and filling it to fullness.

If the ground surface is lifted up, only the surface of these ditches and holes are exposed, an extremely spectacular scene will be seen -

These blood ditches and the huge hole in the center, the rough pattern they form is just a huge, blood-stained red lotus blooming towards the sky!

And in the center of this hole, floating on a small floating island in the middle of the blood lake, there is an altar with a "red lotus" base carved with crimson magic crystals.

On it sits a dark red turbid human figure.

He has no facial features, and his face is smooth red and gray. From his wrinkled bitter skin, it can be seen that this should be an old man.

The old man exudes a thick and ominous black aura. He is surrounded by people wearing black cloaks, all facing the direction of the old man and bowing.

After a long time, the old man let out a long, old sigh.

"The Lord is awake... The Lord is awake!"

Among the cloaks, someone shouted loudly:

"Congratulations to the Lord for killing the traitor and taking back the sacred object, the double..."

Before he finished speaking, the other cloaks saw an extremely thick blood mist suddenly covering the cloak who was shouting.

Then, the burning mist began to evaporate from the body of the cloak!

Not long after, the cloak who was still shouting just now had turned into a pool of blood.

All the cloaks couldn't help but tremble, but no one mourned for the death of their companions.

They were already accustomed to such scenes.

But, I don't know why, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice...

...Why did the Lord get so angry?

The cloaks didn't feel that the cloak had said something wrong just now...

Could it be...Could it be that the "two-faced doll" was not successfully retrieved? But this is not the case...

While the cloaks were guessing, at this moment, a crack appeared on the face of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, and an extremely sharp, piercing, old and vague voice came out from it.

"...temporarily terminate the "Dusk" ceremony."

The voice of the Lord of Blood Sacrifice echoed in everyone's ears, "Convey my "revelation" to all the thorns in "Songyuan Territory"..."

"What?" The cloaks looked at each other. It was the first time they saw the Lord looking like he was facing a great enemy.

"...Let them raise as many "blood slaves" as possible...I need new nutrients...

Select ‘blood disciples’ from these ‘blood slaves’... I need new combat power...”

Listening to the Blood Sacrifice Lord’s “revelation” one after another, the cloaks looked at each other.

They vaguely sensed the omen of change.

What did the Lord see? And what did these cloak colleagues - Morris and Fold - experience...

The cloaks wanted to interpret more information from the Lord’s words, but after the Blood Sacrifice Lord finished speaking, the crack on his face gradually closed and he stopped talking.

No big The blood cave was once again filled with strange tranquility.

…

After waking up, Luo Xiu felt refreshed.

After solving the first crisis node, Luo Xiu slept soundly.

At this time, he could return to normal life as "NPC" Luo Xiu.

In the short term, there is no need to worry about evil associations like "Blood of Thorns" threatening the safety of Dawn Town.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu's mouth corners raised a slight arc.

After that, he had to return to the normal rhythm of life.

And Getting familiar with and adapting to the living habits of "Luo Xiu" as soon as possible is also part of Luo Xiu's plan.

As the only "apprentice priest" in the Glorious Church of Dawn Town at this time, he needs to complete the church's homework on time and in quantity every day, and guide those believers who "pray to God" to complete the praise of Him.

Although Luo Xiu, as a player in his previous life, had experienced all this, it would still be a different feeling to praise as an NPC.

Luo Xiu stood up, took the new priest robe from the coat rack, and put on the church robe belonging to "Luo Xiu". He took off the crown of the savant, held up the "Glorious Hearing", and walked out of the church.

It was six o'clock in the morning, and the timekeeping method of the Apocalypse World was the same as in the previous life.

The church was already full of ordinary believers who were ready to do "praise".

Originally, it was the job of Luo Xiu's mentor, the great priest Ivan, to guide the believers to complete the "praise", but this responsibility was passed on to Luo Xiu's shoulders, and he still felt a sense of tension.

With a long sigh of relief, Luo Xiu appeared in front of the believers with a nearly perfect and friendly attitude.
