Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

It turned out to be a crown fragment... the third crown fragment!

Luo Xiu was a little shocked, but he acted as usual.

Since he got the second "Crown Fragment of King Isol" from Red Maple City, he has not found any trace of the other crown fragments.

The corresponding panel of "Crown Fragment of King Isol" also indicated that there should be four crown fragments in total, but the remaining two were unknown.

Unexpectedly, I could see the third crown fragment at this auction!

Luo Xiu thought with some pleasure, but at the same time he was more cautious.

Did the old man know about "Crown Fragment of King Isol"? And what was his purpose in displaying the crown fragments as "commodities"...

Being hostile to the "Ancient Hermitage", Luo Xiu had to think a lot in advance.

But one thing can be confirmed - since the old man has the third "crown fragment", it means that he, or other members of the hermitage behind him, must have defeated the "ancient existence" in the seal, but it is unknown what kind of knight it is.

As these thoughts emerged in the depths of his mind, Luo Xiu had already come to the old man's seat.

For the new guest in front of him, the old man seemed to be asleep, he did not raise his head, as if he did not hear.

Luo Xiu's eyes also became deep at the same time. He also restrained his spirituality and tentatively reached out to touch the fragments.

Luo Xiu did not directly reach out to the "King Isol's Crown Fragment" to avoid arousing suspicion. And just when his fingers were about to touch another fragment, the old man who seemed to be sleeping suddenly opened his eyes.

"You want to... buy something?" The old man narrowed his eyes and asked in a hoarse voice.

Seeing that the test was effective, Luo Xiu retracted his hand and said in a teasing tone and low voice:

"You woke up suddenly and scared me."

"..."

"So... are you going to buy something?" The old man did not respond to Luo Xiu's teasing and repeated the previous question.

"Haha, I guess so." Luo Xiu smiled, nodded slightly, and said:

"I can feel that these things are very old."

"..."

"...Yes. They... are quite old." The old man replied.

The old man did not seem to be prepared to introduce these "goods" too much. He just narrowed his eyes and waited for the guests in front of him to promote the "transaction" himself.

Luo Xiu pointed to a piece of debris on the side and said: "I am very interested in them. I want to know where you got them and what they can do."

He did not point directly to the crown fragments, which was also out of caution.

"..."

"The thing you are pointing at... is the seal of an ancient... corrupt sage from the Forest of Elves."

The old man spoke slowly, his voice was low and no emotion could be heard, as if he was just stating something he had experienced:

"I killed the corrupt sage... This is a piece that was peeled off from the corrupt staff he used..."

"You ask what it can be used for? Collect it, or melt it to make new things... It's all fine."

After that, the old man stopped talking and calmly waited for the next reaction of the guest in front of him.

Luo Xiu nodded, indicating that he understood, and then said:

"So that's the case... But unfortunately, I have a friend with a [intellectual] destiny, and he probably doesn't want to see me collecting the relics of the 'corrupted sage'."

This is not a fraud, I do have a [intellectual] friend! It's just that he is dead... Luo Xiu thought, and he observed the old man's reaction at the same time.

The old man did not respond, he was silent, giving people the feeling of a pool of stagnant water.

Luo Xiu then pointed to another fragment and asked the same question as before.

The old man then ended his silence and spoke again:

"This fragment comes from the tomb of an ancient dragon warrior... It was originally a medium used by the dragon warrior to cast ancient dragon spells. After he died, this thing belonged to me..."

"What is it used for? It is still for collection... or used as material for some ancient rituals..."

"..."

The old man's voice was still intermittent and hoarse, and when he finished speaking, he returned to silence again, as quiet as a corpse.

This time, Luo Xiu just nodded slightly, showing little interest. Then, he pointed to the "fragment of King Isol's crown" and said, "What about this one?"

"..."

"As for this piece... It comes from the seal of an ancient knight." The old man said slowly.

Sure enough! When he heard the old man say this, Luo Xiu understood that it should be one of King Isol's knights.

"That knight... no, I should say, that armor possessed by resentment... I killed it. This fragment... should be its relic."

"..."

Armor possessed by resentment? So those knights looked like this in the eyes of this old man... Luo Xiu nodded and said:

"Ancient knights? I'm a little interested."

Finally, Luo Xiu showed some interest and asked the old man: "If I want to buy these fragments, how many gold coins do I need to pay you?"

"..."

"Gold coins? I don't want gold coins..."

The old man said slowly: "I'm not interested in gold coins."

"But..." The old man suddenly changed the subject and said, "If you have obtained the 'ancient heritage' from the ruins or the ancient seal... Share the 'inheritance' you have obtained with me, and I can give you one of these fragments."

Is this... using knowledge instead of money? Luo Xiu thought about it, and a smile appeared on his face, saying: "I do have the 'ancient heritage', but how can I be sure that you have not obtained the same heritage? Or are you willing to take the risk of obtaining an existing heritage?"

"... Hehe."

The old man laughed hoarsely and said:

"It doesn't matter... These fragments... They are useless to me. No matter what kind of 'ancient heritage' I get, I have no loss..."

"..."

"I understand." Luo Xiu nodded.

After thinking about it for a while in his mind, he quickly determined what the "ancient heritage" that he would "share" with the old man was.

"Do you have something that can record memories?" Luo Xiu asked.

The old man then reached into his arms, took out a piece of dark brown parchment from his arms, and handed it to Luo Xiu.

Afterwards, Luo Xiu meditated on the relevant knowledge of "Devil Flame of Tribulation" in his mind. At the same time, he gently wiped his fingers on the parchment, and the spiritual lines representing the knowledge of "Devil Flame of Tribulation" were slowly printed on it.

Luo Xiu had his own considerations for choosing "Devil Flame of Tribulation" as the ancient inheritance to share - this is a melee type of inherited skill, and if he gave it to an old man who was obviously a necromancer, if he met the old man as an enemy in the future, at least it would not be a threat to his reverse blade.

After completing the printing of the knowledge of "Devil Flame of Tribulation", Luo Xiu returned the parchment to the old man.

"Okay." Luo Xiu said, "I can't guarantee whether you have the same or similar ancient heritage. I have paid the stakes with the 'Black Beast' as a witness."

"..." The old man reached out and took the parchment with the completed rubbing. He opened his eyes and stared at the spiritual patterns on it. The corners of his mouth slightly opened up, revealing a knowing smile, and said:

"Very good... very good. This is the 'ancient heritage' I have never had. With the 'Black Beast' as a witness, you can take a piece of the fragment away."

"Okay." Luo Xiu nodded, and he picked up the "piece of King Isol's crown" and then turned and left.

Not feeling the old man's gaze, Luo Xiu walked through the crowded crowd and returned to his seat on the left side of the auditorium.

"Huh..." Luo Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. He sat back on the sofa in his seat, picked up the "piece of King Isol's crown", and looked at it carefully.

There is no doubt that it is a genuine crown fragment. Its style and shape are no different from other "crown fragments" he owns. The exquisite patterns on it can also be smoothly connected to form the original complete symbolic engraving.

Just as Luo Xiu picked up this "crown fragment" and looked at it carefully, his panel jumped and new text content emerged.
